PS: There are still a few hours left, the March monthly pass will expire, everyone, don't waste it, how about voting for our pig's feet?! Thank you very much!

Everyone thinks about it, although their own clothes, bedding and other things, although they are said to be dirty, but after all, they have followed themselves for many years, and they are the so-called broom self-cherishing. However, being burned by a fire like this is inevitably very distressing.

It's just that in the eyes of everyone in the South China Army led by Li Huamei, these clothes are inevitably a little too pickled and tattered, and many clothes have been sewn and repaired many times, which are the so-called patches and patches, and the shabby ones are similar to hundreds of clothes. It's so black that you can't see the original color of the fabric at all.

There was a native helper, picked up a quilt, there were countless big holes and small eyes on it, and the hole exposed black cotton wool, the helper slapped it a few times with a rattan beat, but it was so dirty that not even a trace of cotton wool could fly. I'm afraid that it will be full of fleas inside, so it will naturally be taken away and burned.

"The old ones don't go. New ones don't come. ”

A law enforcement leader shouted from the sidelines.

"Follow the arrow, go to the front quilt and get clothes, one for adults, two for children, and one quilt. After a few days of observation in this settlement, you will be placed in the tunpu. After arriving at Tunpu, they will be given basic living utensils, farm tools, and rations to help you build houses. Of course, these are all temporarily lent to you by the General's Palace, and they will be deducted from the money and grain taxes you pay in the future! ”

Hearing that new clothes were about to be distributed, the long queue of homeless people slowly moved forward.

Hua Mei followed the woman and daughter who drank her leftover porridge to the storehouse where she received the women's clothes.

A chubby woman looked at the three of them and shouted into the storeroom. "Two sets of adult women's clothes, one for one big and one for middle, one set for girls and women's clothes, plus!"

The three sets of red women's clothes, all made of very finely woven cotton cloth, the moon white clothes are complete, and two of the two sets of adult women's clothes are used by women during menstruation, and the woman already has such a big daughter, so she naturally knows what this thing is used for. Although he was able to drink Li Huamei's leftover porridge so spicy, he was a little ashamed to look at the menstrual stuff in the package. Quickly handed her Li Huamei's set of clothes. Hurry up and hold your clothes in your arms, lest anyone find out. Only her daughter, who has never worn a brand new cotton dress of her own since she was a child, is holding the cloth bag and jumping.

"This cloth bag is also made of good cloth. I can sew a few cloth socks for your dad when I go back! ”

The women were in groups of hundreds. Needless to say, go to the steaming bathhouses to take a shower and change your clothes.

After taking a bath. After everyone changed their newly issued clothes, the woman glanced at Li Huamei and couldn't help but cheer. "What a handsome character."

"Eldest sister, you're not bad either."

washed the dirt and sweat off her face with soap, and the woman revealed her original appearance, although she was not a beauty, she was also with good facial features, and her daughter was a young face that a girl should have.

After complimenting each other a few words, the three of them continued to walk forward with the crowd, "Girl, what are you doing in front?" You are literate, show us? ”

There were dozens of large vats on the road in front of the homeless people, and I don't know what was in them, and the smell of medicine wafted outward.

Li Huamei looked forward with her feet crossed, and the sign next to her was written with the words "Medication Department".

"Eldest sister, it's okay, it's for us to give medicine. The bucket was supposed to contain a decoction. ”

"Drink medicine? Why should people drink medicine if they are not sick?! ”

"I heard from the landlord in my hometown in the countryside that after Nanzhong gave people medicine, they lost their minds, and then they became walking corpses, living dead people who only knew how to work, and were thrown into mines dozens of miles deep to mine!"

"!"

A law enforcement leader led several law enforcement officers to shuttle back and forth in the crowd, and when he heard someone in the crowd talking like this, spreading the news of this roadside society, he couldn't help but be furious.

"Nowadays, the epidemic is epidemic in Nanzhong, the general is very kind, and he sends people to purchase medicines in all directions, and every village, village, and town must take it according to the head, you dare to say bad things about the general?!"

Several law enforcement officers smiled and gathered around the man who spoke, their short sticks flapping in their hands. This scene frightened the woman, mother and daughter, who were from their countrymen, and saw that the pain of flesh and skin was indispensable.

The most terrible thing is that it is said that the system of protecting armor and sitting together is implemented here in Nanzhong, and if one person has something, the whole family will suffer. If there is something in the family, all the armor will be punished. This person slandered the government affairs of Nanzhong behind his back, so don't burden everyone.

However, those law enforcement officers did not embarrass others, but just pinched the man who spoke out of the crowd like a goshawk pounced on a rabbit, pulled him to the medicine barrel, scooped a spoonful with a bamboo tube and poured it into his mouth, and the law enforcement leader led by him shouted, "Don't move!" Just stand here! Let everyone see if you will become a fool! ”

The fool didn't become, but the man was so frightened that he wet his new-collared pants. Sweating like pulp, his mouth was full of forgiveness.

Seeing this, everyone didn't dare to slack off, and stepped forward to get the bowl of soup and medicine in turn, and when they drank it, they just felt a bitterness in their mouths, and after a while, they began to sweat a little, thinking that those medicines were working.

Hua Mei learned in the whispered voice of the guards beside her that those medicines were the rhizomes of the big green leaves found from Fusang and others, and the lord said that what kind of banlan root was the most effective against the current epidemic. It's just that the various daimyo of Fusang are now seeing a large number of acquisitions by the Southern Central Army, and some of them have the meaning of sitting on the ground and raising prices. It was only a set of armor weapons that were cleaned after the sun was changed to a set of armor and weapons before, and now it is necessary to change a set of those that have not been processed! was so angry that the general scolded the Fusang dwarf in the mansion. But it is also helpless, although this thing is also distributed in Guangxi, Guangdong, Yunnan, Guizhou and other places, but the distance is far away, not to mention, there are wars everywhere, I am afraid that it will be procured, and the disease will be delayed.

I had to grit my teeth and give it to him, and then find a way to clean up these devils in the future.

Hua Mei nodded, "Stay in the green mountains without worrying about running out of firewood." The Shimazu family, the Nabeshima family, and the Kashiyama family have earned us a lot of money over the years, but I'm afraid that the time will come. No matter how much you eat, even the day you will spit it out! ”

"All the fathers and elders who have used the medicine will follow me and go to the local number area to register their household registration skills."

Several loud law enforcement officers shouted and waved small pennants, and the black crowd continued to move forward slowly, following them forward.

Directly in front of the edge of the clearing, there is also a row of fences. There are dozens of openings in the wooden fence. Next to the opening of the fence, there was a hut with a table behind which some clerks sit. From time to time, I asked about some of the circumstances of the people who entered the room. Soon the displaced people were divided into dozens of batches. Queue up for hukou skills registration.

The woman's family stood in front of the bookcase. Facing these clerks with some trepidation, looking at the pen, ink, paper, inkstone, household registration posts, cinnabar inks and other things on the table. There are also square diamond-shaped stamps, I don't know what they are used for.

"Name, age, where do you come from, how many people do you have, what do you do in your hometown, what skills do you have other than farming, do you ever know how to read and write?"

Hearing the clerk's stylized inquiry, the woman's husband was reassured.

"The villain, Huang Linxia, is from Foshan, a family of four came, and his son was separated on the road. It's left with the wife and the girl. After reading a book for a few days, I was able to settle accounts. When I was in Foshan, I made iron in the iron factory, not bragging, we made things durable, and several shops and workshops near the left said that it was good. ”

"That's it! Press the bucket basket! ”

The clerk Kuaishou wrote the basic situation of Huang Linxia on the account post, describing his physical characteristics. In the column of professional skills, the words metallurgy and iron-making were filled in, and a numbered stamp was solemnly stamped on it.

At present, Nanzhong has sorted out the entry of various types of displaced people, and registered in detail the vocational skills and family conditions of the inbound displaced people, so as to facilitate their employment and carry out population management with Nanzhong. At the same time, it is also the first line of defense for those who try to enter the South and Central forces with ill intentions to spy on the military.

For people like the Huang family, it is natural that the management and screening are not so strict, and if they are young and strong who come alone or in groups, it is a different attitude.

After leaving his bucket on the three account posts, Huang Lin Xia cherished the account posts and put them away.

"Take this, stay in the settlement for a few days, see if there is nothing wrong with your body, someone will come here to recruit workers, if you have good craftsmanship and the trial work is selected, you will have a good life." We have implemented a piecework wage system. Next! ”

"The folk woman Huang He's. Her husband is Huang Linxia, who is a talented man, this is my daughter, and she has never read. In addition to taking care of housework at home, he spins and weaves cloth to supplement the household. A piece of cloth can be woven almost every five days. ”

"Good! Press the bucket basket! ”

"You can spin and weave cloth, and in a few days there will be a weaving yard here to recruit workers, if you have checked the work, the money you earn is not necessarily less than your man!"

The clerk handed over the household registration post and asked Huang Heshi to press the bucket on it, Li Huamei glanced at the information registered on it, and wrote spinning and weaving in the professional skills column.

"Can a woman go out and work to earn money?" Don't look at Huang He's daring to rob Li Huamei's porridge to drink, but he is still a little timid about such a thing as a woman being able to work in the workshop.

"Cut! Let's see it in a short time! Nowadays, there are not a few women who come out to work in business and work in Nanzhong! The most famous is Su Siniang, people's canteens, but they have been opened all over Nanzhong, which factory and mine factory didn't outsource food to her? ! The money she earns every day is only a lot more than the monthly salary of her husband who is the general manager! ”

"That is to say, if I go to the weaving factory you mentioned in the future, I can also make money to support my family? Isn't it less than this dead ghost? ”

Huang He restored the true colors of a female man, and pointed to her husband's figure and asked the clerk.

"It depends on your own craft! Next! ”

Huang He hugged the hukou post tightly in his arms, pulled his daughter forward, and told his daughter as he walked, "When you settle down, your mother will find a loom to teach you the art of weaving, so that you can earn a dowry for yourself in the future, so as not to be angry with your husband's family in the future!" ”

During the three-to-five-day quarantine period, in addition to observing whether the migrants have hidden diseases and infectious diseases, the identity and skill data of the migrants will be sorted out and reported.

Then either arrange to go to the farm, or have the relevant workshop to carry out the trial work. If the skills are passed, they sign a probationary contract, and these people enter various factories and mines to engage in metallurgy, textiles, manufacturing and other industries.

The Huang family was fortunate that they would enter the manufacturing and textile industry in Ha Tinh, and become a member of the production line that produced various industrial products for the South Central Army, operating the Guoxiama textile machine to produce cotton cloth, and making various metal utensils from Jiuzhuan Steel, wrought iron, and Iron Steel.

Most of them were ruthlessly written by clerks with the word farming in the vocational skills column, and soon after, they were numbered according to the number on the household registration post. Disrupt clan surnames and geographical distribution. Even people with the same accent will not be arranged to go to various places in Nanzhong to engage in activities such as farming and land reclamation. However, at least it is to ensure that food and clothing are worry-free.

Of course, this is only a rough classification. If it is sorted again in farming. Some people also raise pigs, cattle, chickens, ducks, and silkworms. Some people will knock on pigs and geldings, and some people will plant tea trees to grow peanuts, sesame, citrus, bananas and other cash crops, and there will be people who will specifically screen and classify their vocational skills during this quarantine period. At the same time, it is also a means to prevent spies from taking the opportunity to sneak in.

You say you're a farmer. There are no calluses on your hands, and you don't know anything about farming, so you are not a spy and who is a spy? There may be wrongs in this way, but few of them slip through the net.

The rest of the time was the most comfortable and comfortable day for the Huang family in their lives.

Under the guidance of the helper at the resettlement center, the family arrived at their own residence, which was a large bunk in a row of houses, separated by bamboo, and many families were huddled together, but they were satisfied.

The women were busy washing their clothes on the edge of the pool, while the men were chatting with their "neighbors" who were probably the first friends in the future. The children were bouncing around and playing together, exchanging their own languages.

A new language was quietly formed in this communication at the Chase Shop.

It is similar to the official dialect of the Ming Dynasty, but it is not the same.

That night, people's dinner was enjoyed in the canteen in the Xuanzi region, although it was still porridge, but everyone had a pickled duck egg with red oil, and the men used chopsticks to dig the duck egg crumbs on the eggshell, and they couldn't stop regretting in their mouths, "If only there was a sip of wine to drink!" "At night, the shelter is lit up with lights, and law enforcement officers with knives and guns patrol back and forth between the rows of houses. There was a flurry of snoring, dreaming, and even grinding teeth and farting in the room. The people slept soundly, and it was probably the most restful and comfortable night they had slept in a long time.

On the second day, it was still thick and sweet rice porridge, but there were a few more side dishes, and in addition to duck eggs, a plate of sausages was placed in the middle of the dining table for people to eat. At noon, I started to eat, in addition to the big pot of rice, the whole pot of stewed fish and stew dazzled everyone's eyes. Several immigrant families from the Pearl River Delta region even felt like they were eating poon choi.

On this day, people still have nothing to do except eat. But in the afternoon, the steward of the resettlement center went to each of the tube rooms and organized each family to listen to Mr. Hou's preaching. Talk about the various things you should pay attention to when living in various places in Nanzhong. A few wall charts were hung for everyone to see.

"No wonder Mr. said that you can't eat food crawling on flies, you look at the picture drawn, you can't imagine that the flies in Nanzhong are so huge!"

Huang He hugged his daughter and quietly pointed to the scene of a huge red-headed fly crawling over the food depicted on the picture, and was amazed.

In addition to watching the wall chart and listening to the gentleman's explanation, there are also more intuitive examples.

A few law enforcement officers tied up a dozen people who coveted the toilet and did not go to the public toilet to solve the problem, but defecated in front of and behind the house, with paper signs around their necks, and paraded from room to room for everyone to watch.

There were the mischievous children running back and forth in this group of unlucky people, shaving their faces with their fingers from time to time, "Shame, shame! ”

However, the next day was not so leisurely for the Huang family couple.

The steward of the resettlement house came according to the map of the residence recorded in the registration book and told them that the head of the Ha Tinh manufacturing and textile factory came to recruit workers and asked them to go to try the work.

Huang He's very detained and gave a blessing to the five women sitting behind the table, "Huang Heshi, a folk woman, has seen five stewards. ”

"No need to be polite. Have you seen your registration booklet, spinning and weaving your own cloth when you are at home? ”

"Yes. It's just that I'm weaving some cloth at home by myself. Don't dare to compare with the fine cotton cloth made here. ”

The woman in charge who asked nodded with satisfaction, and motioned for Huang He to look at a machine placed on the side.

Huang He's eyes lit up, and a simple monkey version of the Guoxia horse loom appeared in front of her. (Why use the simple monkey version, everyone understands it, keep it secret!) The wooden combs are all made of nine-turn steel, and the eight spindles used in the mainland have been modified to 12 spindles, and the spindles of the machine have also been drafted and a sliding frame has been added. And, press the spindle on the carriage that can be rotated. When spinning, you only need to move the carriage back and forth.

The official version of the current textile machine has been upgraded to twenty-four spindles.

A lady in charge came forward to demonstrate the operation of the machine for Huang He's family, and after finishing it, she motioned for her to come forward and operate one or two.

Huang He's hands are a little bit of a pound, although he has never used such a machine, but he is also a good hand at spinning and weaving for many years, and a pound of cotton has also spun out a white and fine cotton thread.

"I think I'm a good guy. It's settled! ”

Several women discussed it and handed Huang He a contract.

"If you wish, sign it, put your fingerprint on it, and press it. Later, she became a female worker in a textile factory. Piecework is paid every month, with a basic salary of not less than five silver dollars, one meal, and if you work overtime, you will also have a meal supply, and there will be overtime pay. ”

"Would you like to?"

"Yes, yes!"

Huang Heshi hurriedly agreed, stepped forward to draw a bet on the contract document and pressed his handprint, received a settlement fee of five silver dollars, and happily returned to the next place.

Over there, Huang Linxia's trial work was also good, and the two of them were full of joy pinching the ten silver dollars in the package and looking forward to a better future.

"Auntie, where did the sister who came with us go? Haven't seen her in days? ”

Huang He's daughter remembered Li Huamei.

"That's right! Where did that pretty little girl go? I'm going to treat him to a wine and dinner to celebrate! (To be continued......)
