Chapter 34: The Pig Runs
Frankly speaking, in this era, almost all countries can not be called to live well, the world is basically walking at a crossroads, not to mention how lively the Europeans are fighting, in the next hundred years, it is the most prominent moment of various problems in Europe, the specific reason is that in the lack of government regulation and control ability, a large influx of overseas bigwigs, has not created a good consumer market, and it is impossible to establish any security, and artificially pushed up the price of various assets in European countries.
After all, there are still many proletariats, and in the Age of Discovery, how much wealth was made by those adventurers and merchants, and most of the peasants who lost their land, many times they could only rely on labor to live, but they had to face a large influx of gold and silver to push up the price of domestic assets, but the price of labor began to fall, it can be said that going to sea to fight for life is almost the only way to survive, which is also the future of various "revolutions" in Europe, although there are ways to get people overseas, but, Flights across the ocean are extremely expensive, and Jack can rejoice in winning a ticket to the lowest level of the Titanic, while many people can only sign up to become white slaves in order to go to the Americas, which can be described as miserable.
In the East, the other extreme has emerged, Europe is the homeland rather than the place where the family stays for a long time, and the overseas is the promised land flowing with milk and honey, while in the East, because certain circumstances have become ossified, the group that controls all the means of production has little interest abroad, and they have already reaped the lion's share of the benefits, as long as they are conservative and maintain the system, which is their greatest source of benefit.
Although the number of people who have made a fortune overseas is inexhaustible, those benefits belong to those big families, and for them, it is good for them to be happy to open the sea ban and make all the benefits of overseas business belong to them.
The disadvantage of this situation is that it is poor, and the growth rate of population is greater than the growth rate of land, at least in this era when the way of land reclamation is extremely difficult, even in Vietnam, where there are three crops a year, the difficulties are already obvious.
For this reason, the organizational model represents the future of the country.
The tribes on the grassland, in the form of hunting in peacetime, form an army, itself is as many as there are men, and its large-scale outflanking combat mode, as well as a variety of skillful ways to communicate information through the horn, determine its core combat effectiveness, but once this kind of tribe slack, it will inevitably fall apart because of its characteristics of chasing water and grass.
However, China's top-down system, with the bureaucratic and civil bureaucratic clique at the top, mixed with the nobles and nobles, and the lower part is actually handed over to those landlords to preside over the overall situation, and many people ignore the fact that the exploitation of landlords in this era is actually under the guise of a layer of clans.
Occasionally, the elders would tentatively ask some peasants how to divide the land equally and divide it among the landlords who had originally farmed the land, but the man's eyes widened and he muttered in disbelief, "How can you deal with the seventh uncle?" ”
That's right, according to the conclusion that Li Xiangqian and others occasionally chatted, the landlords of this era basically have a layer of clan as a package, and they usually do things, and they are also the same, I am what you are, I am for your good.
It was only in later generations that under the blow of the whole shipload of American flour, the landlords who lacked profits showed their fierce teeth, and the notoriety of the so-called homecoming group, but everyone knows, pierced this exploitative face mixed with warmth and family affection.
In this organizational model, manpower is attached to the land, people are wealth, and it is the best choice to train tenants into good crops.
As Li Xiangqian said, the biggest evil of the landlords is not to wrap up their small feet, but their existence, that is, to curb the hope of China's progress, their existence for a day, will delay China's development, even how many landlords' children, after seeing this reality clearly, are not hesitating to raise the butcher's knife for their own kind.
In Vietnam, the situation is actually more serious, on the one hand, Vietnam's land is very suitable for farming, yes, but on the other hand, its backward productivity is not nonsense, the lack of iron pear, can only use pear is still second, compared to China's old but still operating economic model, Vietnam's economy has basically collapsed, the reason why the government went on an expedition to fight a war soon after, is also to disperse the internal contradictions in the country.
Mu Rongshan did not deliberately investigate, but between many details, this situation has been reflected, that is, starvation is everywhere, the reason why the revolution did not break out is just a relatively small land, just a situation of several county magistrates fighting, than Chongzhen across thousands of mountains and rivers to command those scholars and masters, to deal with any potential threat, it is very easy.
After the children of the Zheng family came to Hongji, Mu Rongshan's life was better, and the local government began to pay attention to him, at least all kinds of things were served very well, and Mu Rongshan was also kind and gave a lot of small gifts from the imperial capital, of course, it was nothing more than some pictorials and glass things, which were much more advanced than the things that Europeans gave people glass balls everywhere.
Of course, a bad situation is that the place where he is constructing, as well as the periphery of the Xiangshuai yacht, are full of spies, of course, they are not spies, and many of them are directly tempted.
However, Mu Rongshan continued to do his own thing.
"There are a nominal garrison of 1,000 people here in Hongji, which is a lot, but I observe that the problem of empty salaries is still very serious, and the equipment is also very old, and this is not the front line of Hue, so there are not too many soldiers, however, there are still some elite soldiers in the county commander Li Ming, and there are more than a dozen or so shotguns, of course, the specific numbers, and the quality of those shotguns are not to mention, now, people are already guarding against me."
Although Mu Rongshan was also suspected, he was not in a hurry.
Hongji Wharf is already very idle, except for a few sea ships that Mu Rongshan followed and transported, there is no other ship, after all, there are only a few days left for the New Year, even if it is a knife to lick blood, the maritime merchants who make the first money, the maritime merchants know that the New Year is good.
However, since it is a big thing, how can the broken things of the New Year exist, and it is natural to start working in an orderly manner.
"The pig is running!"
Although there are not many people in the port, there are still a lot of miscellaneous people, and the sudden shouting suddenly attracted everyone's attention, at least the county commander Li Ming arrived as soon as possible, and he found that a big pig suddenly appeared in the port, and it was an extremely fierce one, at this time it was constantly rampage, and no one or any obstacle could stop it.
In the eyes of many people, pigs are raised in the pigsty, fat and stupid, this is obviously a relative who did not open a pig farm at home, if he goes to the pig farm of his relatives to work in the summer to help, you will find that the average combat effectiveness of pigs is very strong, and if you do not survive in the modern pigsty, but live in the wild pigs, there is no fat of a body, it is completely a strong tendon meat, compared to the fat houses are extremely healthy, the so-called one bear, two pigs and three tigers, is not nonsense.
More than 50,000 people were wiped out in three days, that is, 50,000 pigs were released and the communist army was asked to arrest them......
This is very clear, the difficulty of catching pigs is very terrible, as an omnivore, the attack power of pigs is not only the impact of the weight of hundreds of pounds, but also the teeth and mouth, in short, it is very noisy.
The fence gate, which was barely used as a customs, was smashed, and many customs officers wanted to help, but the people who were hit turned over on their backs, after all, they were already out of production.
There is a joke that the secretary of the company has something to go out, but the company commander just wants to entertain the family, so he waved his hand and ordered the soldiers to do it, claiming that there is no Zhang butcher and does not eat hairy pigs.
But this pig is obviously different, and when people react, they casually found the necessary fishing nets on the boat, and put them on the pig's head with great difficulty, which was already a big mess in the world, full of devastation, and the pig that caused all this consequence could only hum there.
Li Ming looked at all this, but he was furious and said, "What's going on! ”
The blackened man was the owner of the ship, and hurriedly said, "Master, I didn't wait carelessly, but I disturbed the master." ”
Li Ming said: "What kind of family are you, how did you transport all the pigs here!" ”
In this era, wooden boats were very troublesome, seeping water, dirty, and it was almost difficult to transport all kinds of live meat and poultry, let alone such fat pigs.
"My, my!" From a distance, a boy ran in, but at this time he was not anxious and shouted from afar.
Li Ming looked at it, but he also knew that it was a son-in-law from China, who was said to be an upstart family in the imperial capital, but he was a son-in-law who only wanted to have fun.
However, it is also a useful trick, at least the young master of the Zheng family told him not to offend him, although he also let himself monitor this person, don't make any moves, but in general, it is still very stable.
Isn't it just a collection of a few women, by the way, eat, drink and have fun every day, although foreigners come to Vietnam to play with women, which makes people feel uncomfortable, but no one will deal with him.
"Young Master Chu, which play are you singing again?"
Mu Rongshan smiled and said: "Ah, don't blame, I'm really concerned about my own eating problem, isn't this letting people go to Guangzhou to purchase some things, this pig is the best big white pig in Guangdong, Foshan Yibao, I don't plan to spend the New Year in your country, naturally killing the New Year's pig can't run." ”
Li Ming trembled his lips and said, "That's not going to be the case, look at what has become of this place." ”
"You don't know, this pig was originally owned by the prefect of Guangzhou, saw that it was me, so it was half sold and half sent, different from others, since childhood, this pig eats different from other pigs, eats japonica rice, with traditional Chinese medicine, and even drinks mountain spring water, occasionally feed rice wine, such a pig, a pound of silver, or friendship price, if it is really cooked, the taste, fragrant, well, it is estimated that it is going crazy with alcohol."
Li Ming was angry with this son, but he didn't dare to attack, just looked at the pig, he is a county order, in fact, he has little authority, the county order in China is Baili Hou, he is just a ten-mile wait, if you want to eat a meat, it depends on the time, and this Tianchao Gongzi brother will really enjoy it, he has never heard of this kind of pork cultivation method.
As if he had seen through what he was thinking, Mu Rongshan said: "It's okay, it's okay, I bought a lot of this kind of pig in Guangdong, and the adults are also hard, so it's better to give it to you......" This kind of pig who has been injected with the injection prepared by the imperial capital, he Mu Rongshan is not sensitive, without that kind of injection, how can he suddenly be so crazy? A little smell of alcohol alone can't do it, although that kind of injection may not be harmful to the human body, but Mu Rongshan still has countless beauties from all over the world waiting to be soothed, and it is impossible for his body to eat something wrong.
At the same time, he said to other Vietnamese men: "Everyone is working hard, in this way, I will arrange it immediately, there are hardship expenses, consolation money, mental damage expenses, money, it's a bastard, everyone can spend it together." ”
Then, he said to Li Ming: "By the way, I will also compensate for the losses here, wait a minute, adults can let people come to me to get money, you can use it and renovate it." ”
He deliberately approached and whispered: "Of course, the hard work of the elder brother is also indispensable, and at the same time, the elder brother's apartment should also be renovated, rest assured, money, is a bastard." ”
Under the blow of Mu Rong Mountain's infinite silver bullets, the Vietnamese were crushed, and no one hated the gold lord, even if it was flying and domineering, but Li Ming said: "Okay, Chu Gongzi, but, you unload the goods again, but you have to ask our people for help, no matter what, I can't afford it." ”
"It's okay, it's okay, it's fun."
Mu Rongshan's sharp plan succeeded, and he was also proud.
For the elders, money is not important, but how you spend it.
Li Mingzhen met the wronged boss, "Chu Liuxiang" Chu Gongzi sent 1,000 taels of silver in one go, which was almost sky-high in Vietnam, which lacked hard currency, and said that he was short of money and enough, and also sent a lot of bags of cement, saying that it was included.
Under such generosity, Li Ming also greatly despises it, the foundation created by his father was brought down by such a gentleman, if China continues, hehe.
However, Li Ming still did something, at least the damaged objects in the port began to restart, of course, Chu Liuxiang Gongzi naturally also had someone to help guide him, how to repair Hongji Port a little better, and at the same time had a guilty and embarrassed relationship, and it was also very smooth to dot up and down the port.
Silver bullets are invincible.
