Bamboo is knotted and tough, but the disadvantages are also obvious, and it will become very fragile when wet.

In other locations, people have taken into account the ceiling and walls of any house, but they ignore that the floor is also made of bamboo, and at most they use a double-layer design for the sake of sturdiness.

But it's still bamboo.

This illustrates two facts: first, the idea that detaining "workers" from different places together would make it difficult for them to communicate and thus reduce the likelihood of fleeing has failed.

Second, dark-skinned is a huge advantage during the night run.

At least they went to catch the 9 "laborers" and ran all night, but the next day there was no progress, anyway, the Fan family couldn't hold their faces, but they began to physically punish other people who didn't run.

Fan Zhengzheng felt that this was not good in his heart, punishing those who did not run, but he was helpless against those who ran away, didn't this encourage others to run away.

But people still have words: "Big nephew, it's all a family, can I still hurt you, these cheap people, they should be beaten hard, just subdued." ”

"Yes, we are for your good, you are young, we are old, what haven't we seen?"

"When I was carrying the work at the rich man Li in the next village, I did it like this, and I didn't work if I didn't work."

Fan Zhengzheng was helpless, and he couldn't come up with a definite idea, but fortunately, if there was a difficulty in finding the government, he was naturally told a good way to solve the problem.

The few men who went into the city to report the news did not disappoint Fan Zhengzheng's hopes, and brought back a lot of wine and meat, all of which were newly shipped from Guangdong, but they kept saying that they were working hard and wanted to treat themselves, and they also said that the officials and soldiers naturally had to spend money, and Fan Zhengzheng was required to prepare a thousand taels of silver.

They kept saying that the weapons in the hands of the government were sharp, they were all elites selected from Hebei, all of them were like blue-faced fangs, and when they arrived, they would definitely be able to catch the escaped minions.

But Fan Zhengzheng has no social experience, and he knows that he only ran nine times, a total of ninety taels of silver, and spending dozens of taels is too much for this money.

Of course, their meaning is also very correct, if you don't get these nine back quickly, the rest of the people will not be fluctuating, and they will really have to run as much as they want, and the amount of money spent is trivial, you only need to have it with your brother-in-law?

Fan Zhengzheng knew that the so-called going back to the city to call the police for help was just a pretense, and these days, under the guise of going back to the city to do business, taking the opportunity to drink and visit the kiln, that is simply the daily life of these people.

But if you hesitate a little, you will be scolded by the cloak, what ungrateful, how hard it is to follow thousands of miles over, your relatives are all good for you, stingy ghosts, there is no interest in the future, and you are not generous.

This kind of technique is very abrasive, they just whisper within your sight distance, giving you a sense that you have been abandoned by the collective, and everyone expelled you, but what you say is deliberately let you hear, of course, whose son is particularly stingy, and then he dies, whose child does not listen to the elders, and then he can't marry a daughter-in-law.

After twisting for two or three days, Fan Zhengzheng had no choice but to take out another hundred taels to reward these relatives who worked hard to chase slaves, which has exceeded the original purchase price, according to Li Dakang, the British will catch more good goods in the future, and those landlords are hostile to each other, and they are very happy to spend money to ask them to slaughter each other.

"Is anyone there, I'm from the West Farm, I heard the report, it seems to be from your family, and my lord asked me to send it."

Naturally, there is no gateway to the farm, in fact, there are villagers nearby, but after all, it is sparsely populated, Fan Zhengzheng found a way to send some gifts according to the manual, and he brushed up the friendliness.

These villagers may be recruited as employees in the future, but they can't be in a hurry now, and people from other farms don't need to be notified in advance if they want to come, so they just come over.

The person who came was a dark and thin man, and there were many servants behind him, escorting the few guys who had run away, and he came back like this.

One of the Fan family went over to check it and said, "Why are there only seven, and there are two less." ”

The man said, "Those two died in the wilderness, and my master said that it was hot and that it would be easy to get epidemics, so he asked people to find a place to bury them." ”

"Just by what you say, how do I know if it's true or not, who knows if your house is gone."

The man arched his hand and said: "How dare the little one be like this, not to mention anything else, there are several vaccines issued by each family, and there are many of them, how to make them." ”

In all the training courses, it was emphasized that health is the focus of Quang Nam's cause, and also said why many people died early.

The people of the Fan family continued to mess around, saying, "No, you have to let me go and see." ”

"That's no problem, I still took them to dig the grave bag, Your Excellency brought a shovel, go over and dig it yourself, we won't stop it, of course, the disinfectant powder still has to be prepared by yourself."

"You ......"

Fan Zhengzheng felt embarrassed enough, and immediately said, "Thank you, wait...... In a few days, I will definitely come to the door to thank you. ”

"No need, my house is to the west, it is the garden of Master Zheng Xiaqi, and the little young master has anything to do, just words."

The man said that he wanted to leave, but Fan Zhengzheng immediately shouted: "Wait a minute, I remember, the government stipulates that anyone who helps to find the escaped laborers must repay half of the thank you money, nine people, that is, 45 taels, you wait, I don't have any cash here, let the account room get it." ”

Fan Zhengzheng knows this, and he doesn't understand what the government's regulations are about, but the money that should be given to people is conclusive.

Hiding fugitive slaves from other families was almost commonplace in the Ming Dynasty, especially for those who read, which was almost the best way to get rich, but here, the rules are different.

From the very beginning, the elders were extremely disgusted with this system, and swore that in their lifetime they would build a society entirely of free people, but now it is only a window period, and the general lack of skills in using tools is naturally difficult to promote, so this trick is used.

In the future, the use of machines to replace people is a general trend, even in later generations, a small family cultivates hundreds of acres of land, and every year it adds up to a few months of busy work, usually eating and drinking.

Of course, in order to prevent chaos, it is naturally very important to prohibit all kinds of bad things, after all, it is a temporary act.

If you catch someone else's fugitive slave, you are not allowed to hide it privately, because it is easy to be discovered, and if it is discovered, it is not a matter of losing a little money to end it.

Anyway, the fines are significant.

Of course, if you send someone back, there's a commission.

The consideration in this is naturally to follow the story of Zigong ransom and Zilu Shouniu, and good behavior should be encouraged.

There is an accurate formula in this, for example, many people hate the behavior of picking up a mobile phone and asking for a benefit fee, but in fact, there is also that kind of mobile phone that is picked up by someone, and people take the initiative to return it, but the voice is stern, asking people to take a taxi to the location immediately, otherwise they will call the police, and they don't have a good word, and they can't even do what they want to take, so it's ......

This is a wonderful game, pick up the phone, the choice you can make is to turn off the phone and hide, get a mobile phone, the guilt deepens, turn on the phone and wait for the owner - you can't get the phone, but whether you can get thanks is unknown.

If you meet someone who not only has no gratitude to you, but immediately asks you to take a taxi to a certain place within 10 minutes, and if you don't send it, you will be killed, no one believes that someone will honestly send their mobile phone to it.

That is to say, you can't ask a person who picks up your mobile phone, in the case of material temptation, but also ask him to bear the loss of time and money, or even not say a good word, and get the phone back, pay some reward, so that all the people who pick up the mobile phone have a little return, it has become the best choice, at least give people a little transportation expenses.

The principle is the same.

As for whether there will be a group of guys who have picked up mobile phones and are waiting for a return, this concern seems to be a bit unfounded, and my country has not yet reached the point where mobile phones are so flooded that they are littered.

What I didn't expect was that Master Zheng Xiaqi's people were very resolute, and naturally they didn't dare to ask for money.

The rest of the matter, naturally, was that after the people of the Fan family beat up the fugitives, they would be safe again.

After a few days, someone notified the Fan family to go to Hongji Port, but this time he went, but he received a thing prepared for him by his two brothers-in-law, a tractor.

The tractor is a simple design, a reasonable structure, and can be walked on slightly leveled land, and there are even rumors in later generations that a tractor factory can be modified to produce tanks at any time......

Ah, it may be possible to produce parts for tanks, but if you want to change to tanks, you need to coordinate for a long time.

The production cost of tractors is not low, and it is difficult to promote, it must be matched with a person who at least knows how to repair, and it is not easy to drive.

The ten tractors that were brought in this time were all equipped with technicians, who were responsible for teaching some people to try to drive and repair them.

This is really a bit difficult, but fortunately, someone pays for it, and the elders are naturally happy to spread it.

Fan Zhengzheng was in trouble, and finally got one in line, and Zheng Xiaqi's subordinates also came to receive this rumored miraculous thing, Li Dakang saw it and said, "Xiao Fan, I heard that you had an accident before?" ”

"Yes, someone escaped, but fortunately they were chased back."

"That's nature, this is the rainforest, it's hard to survive alone, but ah, you also have to pay attention, walk around with the people around you, I'm new here, I don't know the situation yet, what are the people in your family."

Xiao Fan almost thought of his home, but he didn't speak, but Li Dakang said to himself there: "If there is a girl in your hometown, you can find a way to take it." ”

Fan Zhengzheng immediately said: "This is gone." ”

Two or three years ago, the Fan family was still poor and white, although the age was up, but the soldiers were in chaos, and the elders who suddenly appeared with the soldiers who broke into the army over there, and suddenly raised the prices and marriage prices in the entire north, so it had already been delayed, and his sister was so powerful, but it was difficult to find people to marry, the general family background was unwilling, and looked down on others, and people from larger families would rather pinch their noses and marry their daughters to the elders, rather than marry "relatives" like him.

So there was a delay, and this delay did not solve the problem until Fan Zhengzheng arrived in Quang Nam Province.

Not to mention anything else, those relatives spent his money unscrupulously and bragged about the lower-level prostitutes in the city, and he also saw it.

"It's a coincidence, it just so happens that Master Zheng Xiaqi has a daughter in his family, and he said that he begged me to protect the media, but you don't have any other reliable elders, so I will tell you, you figure it out yourself."

Fan Zhengzheng became shy all of a sudden, and hurriedly refused: "This kind of thing is not up to me." ”

Li Dakang said step by step: "This, I think you can consider it, as for your family, someone will ask, but if you want me to say, it's okay to marry." ”

For this kind of elder's peripheral figure marrying the marriage of Zheng Zhilong's family, the elders are still happy to see it, not to mention the stable characteristics of strength, it is also essential to promote social development, at least you can use the majesty of the elders to ask the woman to untie her feet or something.

So far, the no-foot-binding movement promoted by the elders has been so-so in Hebei, but it is basically difficult to move an inch in Shandong and Shanxi.

The more the policy goes outward, especially in such a more conservative place, the more difficult it is to walk.

In Fujian, people have opened up a little, opened a little, but at least they can communicate, and Zheng Xiaqi's intention to marry his daughter is the best trend regardless of the purpose.

Some people have suspected that Xiao Zheng is a simple child, but he is afraid that he will not be able to withstand the flickering of the beauty, just like Tomman the Great would be willing to die for his little rose wife who has several hands, in case it is peacefully evolved, he will cry.

Of course, most people's self-confidence is still enough, "I don't look at who insists more on women's rights on both sides, even if the woman is a character who is willing to hollow out her family for her mother's family, she is not afraid, there is a law, and she will be prosecuted directly, besides, it is difficult to say who will evolve in the future." ”

Of course, Zheng Xiaqi and Zheng Zhilong are not the same thing, this is something that everyone knows.

This in itself is a game between a small family and a large family, a clan and independence, and history will prove that the efficiency and freedom brought by a small family are irresistible to any young person, and it is better to take the opportunity to infiltrate.

Of course, Comrade Xiao Zheng's own will is the most important thing.

Before going back to the farm, I bought a handful of gasoline, some grain, some thick wire, seeds, fertilizer, and of course, food, wine and meat.

Xiao Zheng, who drives a tractor, is also funny and humorous, he comes out this time, as long as he completes the teaching task in three months, he can get a reward of fifty taels, and he is naturally willing to run.
