Chapter 120 Road Language Keelung on Short and Long

The Koreans built the road very quickly, and the section from Tamsui to Keelung has been built. However, this is related to the fact that this section of the road is better developed, such as Keelung to Yilan, because of the need to go around the mountain, the speed is obviously slow.

With this road, it is much more convenient to go to Keelung from Tamsui to Keelung, they first take a boat to Xikou River Port, and then take a horse-drawn carriage from Xikou River Port to Keelung, which is only less than a day.

The road cannot only be built but not maintained, so in Xikou and Keelung, a road protection team belonging to the Liuqiu infrastructure construction team has been formed, which is served by the young men who have retired due to injury and age in the self-protection team, and they have all become families and have settled their homes here. The natives of the neighborhood have a very good relationship with them, and most of the discipline and consciousness they have done in the convoy are reliable, and they are also responsible for delivering news that is not urgent.

Yang Miaozhen did not take a carriage, but rode a horse, the fragrance of the grass around her, and the green mountains in her eyes, made her feel very good, she couldn't wait to transform into a horse, roaming among the grass. Although she is not a literati, her love for this rural atmosphere is no different from those literati who forget about the landscape.

Zhao Ziyue's expression was a little serious, he had been in Keelung for so many years, and he had become more and more silent. Yang Miaozhen glanced at him obliquely, and didn't know whether he should be grateful to him or annoyed. If it weren't for Zhao Ziyue's decision at the beginning, I'm afraid that he and Ah Ju would not have today.

"Four Ladies, the situation in Keelung is different from Yilan, and Si Niangzi should actually go to Yilan."

Feeling that Yang Miaozhen was looking at herself, Zhao Zi said.

The situation in Keelung is better than that in Yilan, because Keelung is mainly used for mining and smelting, and some of the workshops of the Liuqiu Manufacturing Bureau have also been moved here, such as iron yards, paper mills, and glass yards. It is related to the safety of the gold mine, so Zhao Zi said that Keelung is like an iron barrel, although the opening of the port has also made Keelung's people a little unstable, but it is much better than Yilan.

Although there are also immigrants who work in the mines, but because they work hard in the fields for a year, their income is not as good as that of working in the mines for three months, and the immigrants who have been granted land have to rent their income to the farms under the hidden deprivation of the Liuqiu Office taking advantage of the difference in the prices of industrial and agricultural products, but they continue to work in the mines and workshops. The farms lease the land granted to these immigrants, and the nominal land still belongs to the landlord, but how to cultivate and what kind of crops to plant is arranged by the Liuqiu Office. The labor used in the farms comes from the new immigrants and some of the older immigrants who are unable to work in the mines and workshops, and the new immigrants are naturally still subject to a three-year residency grant system, while the old immigrants are paid according to their work, so that they can also have an income. After the harvest every year, the farm will return the grain and oil collected to the landlord after deducting the part of the income and remuneration paid by the farm. The boys of the elementary school calculated for the landlords that if they had cultivated the fifty acres of land and had earned ten of their hard work in a year, then according to this system they could get five of them from the farm and thirty from the mine workshop with almost no work, and the income was equal to three and a half times the previous one, and they worked only ten hours a day.

When this system was first introduced, many of the immigrants who were granted land were skeptical, but after they begged the Public Office to provide a guarantee, and after writing it in black and white, they worked in doubt for a year, and as they said. This difference in income has made these immigrants realize that they have no land, no work, and no wealth. If you want to live a decent life in Liuliu, you can't just keep your own 100 acres of land, you must enter the workshop.

These people are chained to the mine workshop, and they just want to go back to the land, but they just want to go back to see their ancestral graves, not necessarily to move back.

This is not the case in Yilan, where there is a lot of arable land, because of the cool autumn, the attitude of the natives towards immigrants has changed, and the Naturalization Bureau of the Office of the Independent Office has vigorously promoted the policy of assimilation, teaching those natives how to cultivate acres of land, raise livestock, make larger fishing boats and better fishing nets for them, and lure the natives to lure their children and teenagers to the city with free food and clothing, and enter the naturalization hall. The school of Guihua is the fifth phase of Yixue, and all the teachers are from the first phase of the Tamsui Elementary School. Because of this, a small half of the indigenous tribes of Yilan are now living a life similar to that of immigrants, and the rest of the tribes are also rapidly assimilating.

In the face of a civilization several levels higher, the poor civilization of the natives has almost no power to parry, but in terms of clothing and rituals, they still retain some of their customs.

As a result, the Yilan Grange expanded rapidly, with dozens of granges, about one-fifth of which were granted to immigrants who had obtained household registration and land registration. They are far away from fresh water, and there are no local mines and workshops in Yilan, so they mainly rely on the fields to live, although the income is not much, but it is enough to use, and they are most urgent to return to their hometowns.

Moreover, most of them are the old Red Jacket Army, and I heard that the Red Jacket Army that is now staying on Jingdong East Road is also doing well, and Li Quan has even won the rank of "General", so they want to go back to their homeland to see and see the old robes.

That's why Zhao Ziyue said that it would be more appropriate for Yang Miaozhen to go to Yilan to appease these old troops of the Red Jacket Army.

Yang Miaozhen shook his head: "My uncle went to Yilan, although the old department of the righteous army shouted fiercely, but I expected that they would not make trouble, but Keelung, it's not that I can't trust you, I know that you are the deepest person under the officials, but you are more powerful than you and not enough morality, so you may not be able to suppress it." Jin Qing, what do you think? ”

Also returning to Keelung with them was Yelu Chucai, who heard that Yang Miaozhen did not save face for Zhao Ziyue, and bluntly said that he was more than powerful but not virtuous, and Yelu Chucai had a wry smile on his face. Although she has no name, everyone knows the actual master, and she is really as straightforward as her heart.

"I feel that the Red Jacket Army and the two Huai homeless people are deeply grateful to the Lord of the Lotus Island, even if they want to go back to land, they will not be so anxious. The most worrying people are those from the north in the mining workshops, and the first few of them have been on the island for four or five years, and they have already obtained the household registration of the Liuqiu. Especially the groups of Dajin officials who came at the same time as Zaijin, they were people in Dajin, and they are unfortunate here, "Yelu Chucai has always maintained his true character as a scholar, and in front ......of Yang Miaozhen, he does not call himself a villain, but claims to be a subordinate." Over the years, he and Chen Zicheng have been in charge of the flow of the bank economy, and this small place has been put in order, and the gold dollar coupons can travel unhindered and contribute a lot. He didn't know that if he stayed among the Hu people, he would be valued by Temujin, but he only knew that he was just a small official in the Jin Kingdom, and he couldn't take charge of it alone, but when he came to Liuqiu, he could not only learn new knowledge that had never been heard of before, but also be able to fulfill his life's ambition to make the people rich, so his loyalty to Liuqiu was by no means under the initial immigration. It's just that when he mentioned those colleagues in the old days, he was somewhat distressed, those people were forced by the situation to enter the workshop, although there were also some people with real talents and real learning, who were promoted to the middle level of the stream, but the vast majority of them were still in the workshop of the workshop. It is inevitable that they will be full of complaints, and it is only natural that they will want to go with dissatisfaction.

Although these people do not have any force, they are literate and good at agitation, and if they are connected together, it will be a big problem. Moreover, Yilan is just an agricultural area, that is, there are a few people who want to make trouble, and they can't make trouble without weapons, but Keelung is different, the iron field can make weapons, and the gold mine has enough gold reserves, once there is an incident, the rebels will be armed with weapons made in the iron field, and the swing people will be bribed with the gold produced in the gold mine, and the immigrants will be encouraged to be greedy by returning to their hometowns and dividing up the property on the island.

Hearing Yelu Chucai's words, Zhao Ziyue's eyes flashed, and he pursed his lips and stopped talking. He was originally opposed to the opening of the port, and he was afraid that things would be difficult to control after the opening of the port.

It was still far away, Yang Miaozhen smelled a faint smell in the air, Yelu Chucai coughed twice, and sneezed again.

"Every time I come here, I always feel that the taste is wrong." Yelu Chucai muttered.

"After staying for a long time, you get used to it." Zhao Ziyue said lightly.

Yang Miaozhen glanced at the two of them, and sighed slightly in her heart, Zhao Ziyue didn't seem to like Yelu Chucai very much. Fang Youcai, Zhao Ziyue, Yelu Chucai, the relationship between the three of them is quite interesting, and between each other, everyone looks at each other and who is not very pleasing to the eye.

Yang Miaozhen didn't know, this was also intentional among the three of them, among the three of them, Zhao Ziyue and Yelu Chucai were extremely smart, and Fang Youcai could not succeed in other places, but there was an instinct in this regard, if the relationship between the three of them was extremely harmonious, then the power in the hands of the righteous young people would be cut off by half. The three of them all understand that the righteous boy is now strong and strong, and he is more radical than them, if there is a conflict with the righteous boy because of this, it is better to have a conflict between them, and let the righteous boy mediate.

"It doesn't smell good." Yang Miaozhen said a word, looked up at the southeast corner of Keelung, there were several tall cement chimneys, that is the iron field, Ou Laogener is here all day.

"This subway mine contains a lot of sulfur, so it smells like this." Zhao Ziyue smiled and pointed to the tall wall in front of him: "This wall is higher than the Tamsui City Wall, Fourth Lady, if you lead someone to attack, can you break it?" ”

This is the fence of the Keelung gold mine, the area of the fence is not large, but it is the key point of the vein, and there is always a guard patrol nearby, so there is no risk of anyone stealing the mine. Hearing Zhao Zi say this, Yang Miaozhen smiled and said: "If it is me, let Li Guozhi be the vanguard, and I will use a big explosion to blow up your city wall." ”

"Huh......"

Hearing this, Zhao Ziyue frowned, he pointed out that this wall was shown to Yang Miaozhen, and there was also some opposition to Yelu Chucai's judgment, in his opinion, there was such a strong wall, which should be able to convince those who had bad intentions. But Yang Miaozhen's words broke the sky, with a spark, no matter how strong the fortified city is, it becomes unreliable, if there is really a rebellion, there is some gunpowder stored in the coal mine here, they use gunpowder to blow up the wall and rush up, only with the escort, I am afraid that they will not be able to stop them.

Yang Miaozhen looked at him, and then said with a smile: "Zi said, I am a rough person, and I don't understand many fine things, but if you fight, twenty of you are not as good as me." ”

Zhao Ziyue was silent, everyone passed by the gate of the iron field, and then passed the gate of the mechanical field, and was about to move forward further, when they suddenly heard a loud noise, followed by a loud voice.

Yang Miaozhen grabbed the pear flower spear, rode forward, and behind them, more than 20 guards surrounded them and protected Zhao Ziyue and Yelu Chucai. Yelu Chucai's face changed greatly, and he glanced at Zhao Ziyue, who was also shocked, looking like he didn't know what had happened.

"Something happened in the mechanical field?" Yang Miaozhen asked.

A moment later, I saw several people rushing out of the mechanical field, their faces were extremely panicked, and some of them even had blood stains on their bodies. Seeing their group, especially looking at the guards dressed up, they were all overjoyed: "Come and save people, come and save people!" ”

The guards all looked at Yang Miaozhen, they were here to protect Yang Miaozhen and his party, if there was really a rebellion, they should escort Yang Miaozhen and the three of them to retreat into the dock fort as soon as possible to wait for reinforcements.

"Let's go inside!"

Originally, there should be a person guarding in front of the door of this mechanical field, but now I don't know where to go, Yang Miao's heart suddenly sank, she was afraid of what happened, so she came to Keelung to sit down, if there is a problem in Keelung, not to mention anything else, only in Keelung Machinery Field, Xiao Bolang, Ou Bama Zhuren, is Zhao and Ju spent nearly ten years of hard work to teach the talents, in Zhao and Ju's heart, they are even more important than the Keelung gold mine, any of them lost their lives, Yang Miaozhen will feel that he has no face to see Zhao and Ju.

"Go in and see!" Those guards hesitated a little, Yang Miaozhen shouted, and then urged the horse forward, pushed the half-hidden door open with a gun, and entered the courtyard of the mechanical yard.

The few people who rushed out saw that they all came in, and the panic on their faces finally calmed down, Yang Miaozhen put the tip of the gun on the shoulder of one person, and asked loudly: "Where are you going!" ”

"Come with me, come with me!" The man ran and walked, walked a few steps and then stopped: "You have a horse, send someone to pick up Lang Zhong from the medical center, you can't do it without Lang Zhong!" ”

After Qiu Shuang left, it was Geng Wan who temporarily sought medical treatment on behalf of him, this talented girl who used to be in the first phase of Yixue, and now she is an excellent girl. However, she is not stationed in Keelung, but in Yilan, because Keelung is a place where mining workshops gather, it is inevitable that she will be injured at work, and there are 20 Lang Zhong and 50 apprentices. Half of these Lang were originally the Lang Zhong of Jin Guo or Lianghuai, and the other half were Yixue who were interested in curing diseases and saving people. When Zhao Youju was cultivating a young man of righteousness, he was afraid that the importance of medical skills was second only to arithmetic, because he understood that medical skills not only prolonged people's lifespan, but also greatly reduced infant mortality and rapidly increased the population in a short period of time. Today, although there are tens of millions of people in the Great Song Dynasty, they already have sufficient manpower for the industrial revolution, but these populations are not enough for overseas development.

Yang Miaozhen pointed at the two guards and said loudly: "You two, escort Jin Qing to the medical center, and bring some Lang Zhong over, and ask them to hurry up." Zi said, you and I stay here, go in and see what happened! ”

The two guards left as they were told, and Yelu Chucai knew that he couldn't help in this situation, so he didn't say much. Zhao Ziyue's face was extremely ugly, and he grabbed one of them and said, "What happened inside?" ”
