The sky is clear and cloudless, and the winter in Lingao is coming, and the weather, which has always been a little hot, is much cooler. The autumn harvest is coming to an end, and the people who have been busy for the autumn have begun to have leisure.

The population of Bairentan has increased, and the usually empty proposed highway attracts many people to walk because of the convenience of the road.

In addition to salt, the rice mill milled out of the rice mill is clean and beautiful, and the rice mill is not bullied, how much rice, chaff, chaff and chaff are clear, there is no encroachment and leakage, which is many times better than the workshops in the countryside. The most haode place is that the means of payment are flexible and diverse, and it is natural to use silver money, rice, rice, rice bran and even rice straw to offset the processing fee. As a result, many nearby grain households have been attracted to mill rice, and outsourced processing work accounts for 60% of the workload of the rice mill, and more than 10 stone of rice can be received every day for processing fees alone. There is also a lot of chaff. Because the processing here is convenient, the road is easy to walk, and no one collects taxes, Dongmen City vaguely has the meaning of the county's grain processing and wholesale market. During the routine inspection, it was found that grain households from neighboring counties also came here to buy and sell processed grain. It seems that profit is a thing that can really make people forget about life.

Some of the land along Dongmen Street has been bought, and several shops are under construction. Most of these shops are opened by the big families in this county, in addition to the business opportunities in Dongmen City, they also rely on this and the short-haired set is close, but if there is anything to do, the shopkeeper can also directly negotiate with the short-hairs. The bricks, tiles and timber are all ready-made, and a steady stream of old bricks, wooden beams and columns and other building materials are transported from the Goujiazhuang demolition site in Damei Village.

Lam Quanan, the first small trader to deal with shorthair, has become the largest wholesaler of groceries in the city. After Gou Jiazhuang's reconnaissance mission, he was rewarded with twenty taels of silver. After a large number of people migrated to Bairen City, the scale of his food supply doubled. He built a shop in Dongmen City, hired a bookkeeper, and used four or five men to push a cart to the countryside every day to buy live pigs, chickens, ducks, poultry eggs, and vegetables. Lin Quanan is already planning to go back to Fujian in a few days to pick up his wife, or build a house for his wife in his hometown and marry a little wife in Lingao...... Such a beautiful haode life prospect made him flutter.

What made him a little unhappy was that he was so well fed that he was saddened by the fact that he was not worried about the money for the shorthairs, who theoretically made more money by eating well, but because it set a bad example: several of his men had quit their jobs and gone to the shorthairs. Although Lin Quanan made a lot of money, the nature of a capitalist still made him insist on not improving the treatment of employees - there are always people who are willing to do it anyway.

Recently, however, the situation has changed, and the agricultural work is nearing its end, and the peasants do not grow wheat at Lingao, and most of the peasants come out to do odd jobs after harvesting rice. However, recently short-haired in the Dongmen market to recruit a large number of workers, these short-term workers in the slack season have been recruited by them, cross-sea to Lingao to beg for a living of many mainland farmers have become short-haired long-term workers, the result is that the mercenary market is unprecedentedly tight, and under the benchmarking role of shorthair, the price of the entire labor market has risen a lot.

As wages increased, so did the activity of the market. Even the merchants of Linxian County are attracted to come here to buy and sell goods. In addition to the merchants, as long as the locals are not worried about three meals, they all bring their wives and children to Bairentan to see the diorama, they can't go to the city, and it is good to go around the trenches and barbed wire fences from a distance: short clothes with round buttons, strange rattan helmets, long bird guns with short swords, houses built on the beach, and huge pipes underneath...... More interested people will follow the easy road to Bopu Port to see the legendary steel giant.

The common people are less afraid of short hair. Dongmen Blowing Rain found that the Chinese people's business sense is really super strong, not only there are all kinds of vendors in Dongmen City, but also people on the highway are setting up stalls to sell tea, and there are tea stalls under the three gun towers along the way. The soldiers of the military regiment stationed in the turret were constantly harassed by the vendors, and in addition to trying to sell them vegetables, chickens and ducks, they had to drive away the women who were making a show of affection to them.

The ensuing security problems also began to come to the fore, and the lively places always attracted people from all walks of life, in addition to the prostitutes, who were both overt and covert, there were stalls of gambling stalls, then pickpockets and thieves, and then beggars. All kinds of rivers and lakes have appeared here one after another.

The most serious problem is, of course, theft. Every day, a few unlucky people are stolen to take money and goods, and Zuihou even has some things stolen from Li Mei's welfare society store. The "Dongmen City Comprehensive Management Law Enforcement Team" managed by Dugu's marriage proposal, although they are busy catching thieves every day, after all, they are not professionals, and the ordinary people of the Ming Dynasty look similar to them, and they don't understand the language, so they basically work in vain. It's rare to catch someone.,Kneel on the ground.,Chirp and say some dialects they don't understand.,And some people cry and scream all the way.,Roll all over the floor when you enter the office.,Zuihou still can't let people go.。 Then, there was another incident of a quarrel over gambling.

Soon after, the first murder took place and alerted the travelers: a scene familiar to the travelers took place in the market: street fights.

The 17th century and the 21st century are no different, but it looks more dangerous, there is no watermelon knife, but there are roasted bamboo robbers, sharpened wooden sticks, and naturally bricks and other things, for a while, the bustling market chickens and dogs jump, chaotic, crying, soon not far from Dongmen Street a bamboo canopy stall burst into flames. By the time Dugu's law enforcement team had put on their full gear and the military team had arrived when they heard the news, the crowd had already dispersed, leaving behind seven corpses and devastation -- more than a dozen stalls had been burned.

Dugu's mouth was crooked, and the other executive committee members who rushed to the scene were also shocked by this scene. Since its opening, Dongmen City has been full of positive news: the number of vendors is increasing, the number of people coming to buy and sell things is increasing, and some people are willing to buy land and open shops...... All in all, this is the best specimen of the harmony between the traveler and the aborigines.

Now this specimen has become like this, although the loss is not large, but the death of people in a brawl in the market will damage the market and their reputation in any case. And the most embarrassing thing is that Dugu's marriage proposal was investigated for a long time, not to mention the murderer, and he didn't even clarify the cause and effect. As a last resort, he approached the executive committee and asked for the police to be trained.

"It's not a matter of relying on our law enforcement team!" Dugu's marriage proposal finally realized the crux of the problem, "We don't understand the language with the locals, and we can't understand the following situation at all. ”

"Can the security team transfer some people to maintain it?" Xiao Zishan is not very interested in the matter of training local police, and he feels that he can't trust these locals at the moment.

"How can the security team take care of us." Dugu's marriage proposal is very clear, he has been to the security team a few times, seven or eight people are too busy just to interrogate the prisoners, identify personnel, and sort out the files, where is the time to help him maintain law and order, and when they go, the problem of language barrier is the same.

"We are really busy, and now the security team is like an internal security team." Ran Yao said helplessly, "I think it's completely okay to train the police, now that there are more people under control, such law enforcement agencies are needed to maintain social order." ”

The first police agency of the traverser: "Dongmen City Police Station" was established, Dugu proposed marriage and served as the director of the police station, and Mu Min served as the instructor of the police station, as the name suggests, it is to guide the work of the police station. After all, she has worked in public security, and the main problem in Dongmen City is public security.

The police station is under the leadership of the public security group, and the funds are paid by the local management department, in other words, the Dongmen City Industrial and Commercial Office is responsible.

"This, how can I have money?" Dugu proposed marriage and cried to Xiao Zishan, who was in charge of civil affairs, "The houses of this police station are the office buildings of our industrial and commercial office. Now Dongmen City doesn't collect taxes, so I can't spend money."

"Then collect some security fees, and the current police station doesn't also collect them from industrial and commercial households."

"How can this work, isn't it a random charge? Besides, now is the right time to attract investment—"

"Hmph, you won't cry poor." Xiao Zishan snorted, "What about the money you made from the sale of the land by the industrial and commercial offices?" The land of those shops was not given to you for free. ”

Dugu's marriage proposal was speechless for a while, and there were indeed more than 100 taels of silver from renting land in the small treasury of the industrial and commercial office, and the executive committee did not introduce a land ownership policy, so this kind of land was bought and sold in the name of renting land, and the price was relatively low. This money should theoretically be handed over, but because the policy is unclear, the financial department cannot be accounted for, so it has been stored in the Dongmen City Industrial and Commercial Office.

"But this is embezzlement of public funds, and there is no explanation for the land policy, and it is not easy to reimburse the money."

Cheng Dong thought for a while and said: "In this way, your industrial and commercial office will fill out a payment slip first, write down the source of income clearly, and I will make an unconventional income." Then I will return the full amount to you for the office expenses of Dongmen City, and you don't have to bring the silver with you. ”

"Okay, that's good, then let's do it." Dugu's marriage proposal saw that the problem was solved, and he left happily.

"You really have a way." Xiao Zishan said.

Cheng Dong shook his head again and again: "Our financial system also needs to be reformed." ”
