Qingzhou City was besieged, and he couldn't go back for a while, so Qin Mu decided not to wait any longer.

All the equipment of the Guards Regiment was carried with the army, and only the leather goods bought from the Yang family caravan were still left in the inn in Qingzhou, so there was no need to worry about Zhang Qing waiting. Liangshan's attack on Qingzhou was not fierce. This situation had long been expected by Qin Mu.

Lin Chong and Lu Zhishen are rare shrewd people in Liangshan, they are not pure bandits, nor are they ordinary reckless characters in the Great Song Dynasty, after eating a meal with Qin Mu, they should grow a little. If you are still dedicated to Liang Shan, this is not the character of the two of them. If this was really the case, Qin Mu didn't feel the need to deal with it anymore.

He's going back to Wujiazhuang. When Yu Liyan kidnapped Qin Mu, it was still March, and now it is the end of April, and he has not been in the base area for more than a month, and Qin Mu is also a little worried.

Just go.

Before leaving, Qin Mu entrusted his chores in Qingzhou to Li Qingzhao, asked her to help if she had the ability, and told her to be in Dayun Temple, Liangshan would soon retire, don't worry.

Li Qingzhao was suspicious of Liangshan's retreat, but she was helpless. If a man wants to leave, what should he do? Qin Mu is not his own person.

Of course, Qin Mu is definitely not her, and Li Qingzhao still feels ashamed of Meng Lang's actions at the banquet. She felt that it was all Wuliangye making trouble, the degree was too high, and the slave family couldn't stand it!

But she was afraid of Liangshan, afraid of being ruined by the people of Liangshan. Although Zhao Mingcheng no longer likes himself, no matter what he says, he is also a rare beauty in the world, but he is a little older and no longer fresh.

However, the beauty photos gave her a lot of confidence, and Li Qingzhao felt that she was not much worse than Zhe Meifeng and Jia Hongxian. And how can the two of them have their own talents?

In this way, it seems to have leveled the distance again.

After thinking about it here, she was a little reluctant, not purely a friend's feelings, but more worried about her own safety. With Qin Mu here, she felt that there was nothing to fear in Liangshan. But Qin Mu left, and Liangshan became a terrifying existence again, always pressing on her heart.

Qin Mu doesn't have time to hurt the spring here, if he continues to hurt himself, the time will be wasted, and he will be finished. It's only right to take the time to do things.

Xiaoxing overnight, land to water, change boats in Jishui, go upstream, cross Liangshanluo.

This is the first time that Qin Mu has penetrated Liangshan. killed Zhu Gui before, but only on the periphery of Liangshanluo. The water is large and the scenery is good. The water surface is vast, the mountain peaks are numerous, if it is placed in the future generations, it is a proper five-A tourist attraction.

It's a pity that after thousands of years of vicissitudes, this piece of the future generations has long since completely changed, and there is not even a puddle the size of a palm.

Qin Mu's boat was not one, but a fleet. Everyone knows that there are bandits in Liangshan, but the business still has to be done, and the boat still has to run. Therefore, on the way to Bianliang by crossing the Jihe River and entering the Wuzhang River to Bianliang, the merchant ships are dozens or hundreds of them walking together. And there will be some Great Song naval warships to follow. In this way, the robbery of Liangshan can be prevented.

After Liangshan, we will arrive at Wujiazhuang in two days.

It was noon when I arrived at Wujiazhuang, and Qin Mu's ship was moored at the pier.

Fang Haoyin and Jiang Yuenu had been waiting on the dock for a long time, and as soon as they saw Qin Mu coming down, they couldn't control their emotions, and rushed forward desperately to hug Qin Mu and cry.

Qin Mu comforted him while looking around.

Wujiazhuang has changed a lot. Although he has only been away for more than a month, Wujiazhuang has made a significant difference.

Once industrialization began, it inevitably broke the stability of the agricultural era. That idyllic way of life no longer exists in Wujiazhuang.

The current layout of Wujiazhuang Gongye Park was planned by Qin Mu. To the far east is the barracks. The military camp was built here, the first far away from the village, and the second to defend Liangshan, which is the most likely attack from Wujiazhuang at present.

Between the barracks and the village, there are Qin Mu's pulp mills, paper mills and cigarette factories, as well as various supporting measures.

Such as warehousing, raw materials, office and so on.

The vast majority of the villagers in Wujiazhuang have been converted into industrial workers. Every soldier in Qin Mu's army is his precious wealth, and naturally it can't be wasted on the assembly line.

Now Qin Mu's factory is in the east of the village, and the match factory outside the staff is in the west of the village - this belongs to Qin Mu's design mistake, and he didn't expect such a change later, and began to set up in the west of the village because it was close to the wharf. And the wharf was set up in the west of the village because it was close to Bianliang - this was planned by Ren Yuan, and Qin Mu had not yet appeared at that time.

Wujiazhuang is equivalent to having factories at both ends, and the whole village has actually become a real industrial area.

Factory work was not easy, and it needed to be punctual and punctual, so that industrial workers could no longer go to the fields to farm.

If you don't farm, then the food you eat, the rent you pay to Ren Xiaoxiao at that time, and the taxes you pay to the imperial court will all come out of your salary.

No one is stupid, and the industrial workers found that there was still a lot of money left over from working in the factory, in addition to the above-mentioned expenses, which made them suddenly have no worries.

Anyway, there is a salary, a large amount of money is received every month, and the life is enough, and it is much better than the original pure-bred land.

There is an unprecedented amount of rich money in your pocket, and if you have money, you have to have a place to consume. Near the Wujiazhuang wharf, one or two restaurants and wine shops gradually appeared.

Although the Great Song Dynasty was rich, all the wealth was concentrated in the big cities, and there was always nothing in the countryside. As written in "Water Margin", a hero can ask for two catties of beef and a pot of wine when he walks to a small village, which is impossible.

If nothing else, let's just say that heroes can't come once a year, who does the beef sell to on weekdays? At this time, there was no refrigerator.

The ordinary people in the village have no spare money at all, and they can't wait to break it in half and spend it, how can they go to the restaurant in luxury!

Wujiazhuang has never had a tavern, but now that there is, there will naturally be a market when there is demand. The tavern is near the pier, and it's still a small two-story building, with a sign on it: The Widow's Tavern.

As soon as Qin Mu came back, he saw this new thing. This sign, I ......

He had nothing to say.

"Meiluan, who opened this tavern?" This matter is in the hands of Meiluan.

"This is Wu Guqi's widow."

Wu Gucci? Qin Mu immediately remembered. Isn't this the man who denounced the Guards for rebellion and then suddenly drowned? A tavern owned by his daughter-in-law? It's quite business-minded, and the name is absolutely amazing!

Qin Mu felt that she had been born a thousand years earlier, otherwise she would be an absolute god in writing online articles in the future generations, and she could give such an attractive name when she opened a tavern, and she would not step on the red line at all.

Isn't widow a normal term? Neither pornography nor black. But the widow's tavern, how to look at it is not serious.

This is more enticing than tofu Shih Tzu. I think business is not bad.

"What's the name?" Qin Mu shook his head. But he didn't want to interfere. People love to call what they want, that is, they do not violate the laws of the Great Song Dynasty or the laws of New China. And themselves, there is no law yet. Even if you have it, you can't help but let people call it by this name.

"It's not because of you!" Fang Haoyin punched Qin Mu. Since the cave room, Fang Haoyin has become much more pungent - in terms of men and women, it is not a problem to flirt with his cousin in public.

"What does this have to do with me!" Qin Mu hurriedly cleared up. Even if he returned to the Great Song Dynasty, he had a little stallion attribute, but Wu Guqi's woman, this ......, isn't this a waste of himself.

"Qin Lang," Jiang Yuenu said slowly, "Of course it has something to do with you." If you don't have to pay her a lot of money, where will she get the money to open a tavern, it's still a two-story building. ”

Qin Mu then remembered that because of Wu Guqi's drowning, he took pity on the family and gave her a pension. Unexpectedly, this woman turned out to be very business-minded, and immediately used the money.

Is the standard of self-pension set high? After all, he has only been here for a short time, and he doesn't know much about all aspects of the Great Song Dynasty.

In fact, what Jiang Yuenu said was not entirely right, that money was not outrageously high. Wu Guqi's daughter-in-law's surname is Li, called Li Xiao'e, married to the Wu family, according to the etiquette at this time, the official title is Wu Li. But her man died, so she became Li Xiao'e again.

Li Xiao'e never expected that her man died, but she got a sum of money. At first, she didn't dare to use it, who knows what the lady thinks, what if she is in a bad mood one day and wants to go back with herself?

But after waiting for a long time, Zhe Niangzi didn't ask her for the money, so she really felt that she was rich. I got such a sum of money out of thin air.

How do you spend the money? Li Xiao'e was guilty of thinking. Her man died, and the family had no pillars, but the two daughters below had a son to support. The time and space of the Great Song Dynasty is not like the later generations. Later generations sometimes joked that the girl was a money-loser, but that was just a joke.

Who doesn't accept a bride price for a married daughter?

But the Great Song Dynasty is different, the Great Song Dynasty has to give a rich dowry to marry a daughter, and without a dowry, no one will marry your girl.

Wu Guqi's family is considered to be an upper-middle family in Wujiazhuang, so the two of them have a relatively high spirit, they want to climb higher, but the high is not low, so it is delayed. The two daughters, one seventeen and one sixteen, were not married.

There is also a son below, who is only fifteen years old, and it is not yet time to marry a daughter-in-law. The servants ate Li Xiao'e, so that she had to find a long-term job for herself.

Without men, the land cannot be planted. Farming is tiring work in any time and space, unless it reaches the level of US imperialism in the 21st century, not only the level of science and technology, but more importantly, the small population and large arable area.

On this one, China will not be able to reach it at any time, even if one person has a tractor, there is not so much for you to plant.

Li Xiao'e obviously can't farm anymore, but if she doesn't farm, she can't enter the factory. Now there are enough strong laborers in the village that there is no need for female workers at all. Even the match factory outside the staff didn't want her. The light work of packing matches has long been occupied by other people, and it is not her turn to be a little widow.

After thinking about it, she decided to open a tavern.

This has to say that Li Xiao'e is decisive. Although Bianliang City is full of taverns, there is really no such thing in the countryside of the Great Song Dynasty. No one eats, so who is it for? Wait to lose money!

However, Li Xiao'e is different from others, she is aware of the changes in Wujiazhuang. How fresh it is, look at it every day.

But if this is the only thing, it is not enough for a woman in the village to understand this. The point is that someone points out. As far as her man Wu Guqi is cautious, a Wu housekeeper - the current workshop director of the match factory, the dead owner of Wu Zhuang, and the current Ren Xiaoxiao's dog legs, can scare him, how dare he go to the informant.

It was because of someone behind him that Wu Guqi mustered up the courage to go to the county. As a result, he was beaten back with a stick, and then died inexplicably.

The person who pointed out said that Wujiazhuang had changed and was no longer the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty.

Li Xiao'e also listened to this sentence. It was because of this that she consciously looked and thought about it, and found that the neighbors had really changed, and they were no longer familiar with the past.

Those who are poorer than her have become richer than her by working in the factory. Those who are richer than her have become richer when they go to work.

It's that everyone has money. It's good to have money, and if you have money, what else can you do but eat and drink? Li Xiao'e can't think of anything else, so let's do the business of eating and drinking.

So she opened such a tavern.

A shrewd woman like Zhe Meiluan naturally would not set the pension very high. The two-story tavern is definitely not enough to rely on the pension, and Li Xiao'e also borrowed a sum of money. The owner of the money is now sitting on the second floor, drinking and looking at the docks.

Jia Kong, the elder of Wujiazhuang. In the villages of the Great Song Dynasty, there are generally at least two stewards. One is Li Zheng, who was originally the owner of Wu Zhuang, but now he is dead, and he is temporarily filled by Ren Xiaoxiao; The other is the elderly.

In the words of the official, Li Zheng is in charge of the ** work, and the elder is in charge of military work. It's that petty theft is under his control, and when there are robbers, he fights them.

The original owner of Wujiazhuang is strong and cares about everything, and Jia Kong's sense of existence is very low, which makes him very resentful. Later, the owner of Wu Zhuang died, not only did he die, but even his stupid son died, and the new lady became a widow, and she was still so young, which made Jia Kong see hope.

A little lady, who is her opponent, won't Wujiazhuang be surnamed "Jia" in the future? But who knew that a family member appeared unexpectedly, and before he knew it, this family member became the actual owner of Wujiazhuang.

The factories, as well as the Guards Regiment, were all his private.

Even Ren Xiaoxiao, and even the staff of Hancheng County, were obedient like the third grandson in front of Qin Mu.

This made Jacón very angry, even painful! I have also worked hard all my life in Wujiazhuang, but in the end, Wujiazhuang returned to outsiders. And the most important thing is that Qin Mu didn't take Jia Kong seriously at all.

Qin Mu was not a historian, so how could he have the heart to study the political structure of villages in the Great Song Dynasty.

This elder, if he didn't introduce it himself, Qin Mu wouldn't dare to pronounce this word, he was a little blind, afraid that he would be embarrassed if he pronounced it wrong. Rare words.

Qin Mu didn't expect that there was such a political force in Wujiazhuang at all, and he didn't pay attention to Jia Kong at all.

Because Wujiazhuang made bandits several times, such as the tenant Wu Qiang, and the first time in Liangshan, Jia Kong, an elder, had no sense of existence, and he ran away early. He is not as good as Steward Wu, and Steward Wu can tell Qin Mu every time afterwards.

Qin Mu didn't know about his existence, so naturally it was impossible to talk to him about everything. Even if he knew, Qin Mu didn't have the time to take care of him. Even Qin Mu, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, didn't have time to take care of it, let alone a little elder. This is the lowest position in the entire official system of the Great Song Dynasty. It's not even a official, it's just a name.

But Jia Kong didn't see it that way, he felt that Wujiazhuang's big and small affairs had to go through his own nod.

Now Qin Mu's actions have long exceeded the limit of his tolerance, but Jia Kong also understands that Qin Mu is by no means something he can fight against.

Not to mention the roaring machine, even whoever gives him a punch in the Guards Regiment can kill him.

But if you don't do something, you're really unwilling.

So Jia Kong provoked Wu Guqi to go to the county seat to complain, saying that Qin Mu's guard regiment was going to rebel. He pinned his hopes on the imperial court. The imperial court can't allow thieves to exist.

But I didn't expect the reality to slap him in the mouth. Wu Guqi was beaten out by the county lord's stick. It made him a little discouraged. But then, Wu Guqi drowned.

It's not discouragement, it's just heartbreaking.

Although Wujiazhuang is in the north, Wu Guqi is a northerner, but Wujiazhuang is next to the Wuzhang River, and there are few people in the village who can't swim. Wu Guqi has a good water nature, how could he be drowned.

Besides, why is he soaking in the Wuzhang River at night? Is it a bath?

It must have been done by the Guards.

This frightened Jacon, and there has been no small action since. He was afraid that the Guards would settle accounts with him.

But after a while, the Guards did not react, and he came alive again.

Li Xiao'e asked him to borrow money to open a store, and Jia Kong agreed without hesitation. After all, Li Xiao'e is a widow and still young. A woman without a man has the most temper with the elderly.

Why does Jakong value the power of the elder so much? It's because you can fish in the country. In the past, this work was all taken care of by the owner of Wu Zhuang, and then the owner of Wu Zhuang died, and he wanted to take over, but who knew that the sky had changed all of a sudden, and he did not get the power in the fish and meat township.

Now that the little widow begged for herself, Jacon didn't talk much nonsense, and made up for the poor money to the little widow.

He now comes to the restaurant every day when he has nothing to do, one is to tease the little widow, and the other is to look at the dock.

The wharf in Wujiazhuang is not what it used to be. Every day, large ships and small boats flow endlessly, which can be regarded as a prosperous anomaly.

Factories need to devour large quantities of raw materials, far from being comparable to the handicrafts of this plane.

Even with his ability outside of the staff, he also spent a lot of energy to straighten out this relationship. Now his two sons, Ren Wen and Ren Ying, are all engaged in the upstream and downstream of the factory, and this chain is too huge for anyone other than Ren to be busy.

He couldn't wait for Ren Xiaoxiao to help too. But Ren Xiaoxiao didn't have this good mood, she was not in Wujiazhuang at all now, and she was soaking in the world of flowers in Bianliang City all day long.

Ren's factory is to make money, but the money earned is not given to her. On the contrary, her own interests have been greatly affected.

The factory needed a large number of industrial workers, and most of the tenants in Wujiazhuang had entered the factory, so the land was almost empty. Many people even want to quit.

Ren Xiaoxiao's economic foundation is land. No one farms the land, it's all abandoned, where does she still have money to make?

And Ren Xiaoxiao also has to pay taxes to the imperial court. He has no income, but the tax of the imperial court cannot be reduced by a cent. Will she ask her father for money to pay taxes at that time?

If your father has your mother, it's better to have it yourself! What's more, she needs a lot of expenses every day in Bianliang City, how can she do it without money?

This problem is really a headache for Ren Qi Niangzi, but she can't think of a solution.

As a person, she is still very young, and in the face of great changes in society, of course, there is no good countermeasure. What's more, this kind of change is earth-shaking and unprecedented, not to mention that she is a little lady, that is, everyone in the world, except for Qin Mu, an outsider, no one knows how to face it.

The process of industrialization, not gradual, is a revolution.

In this process, there will be people who have earned a lot of ditches, and there will be people who will die without a whole body.

Ren Xiaoxiao naturally didn't know the terrible prospects. At this time, she was worried about her money bag and happy at the same time.

Because she finally made friends with the big talent.

It's spring soon, if you are a talented person and a high school champion, won't you be able to hold a big red flower to marry yourself?

This bright prospect now occupies all of Ren Xiaoxiao's body and mind, so much so that she sometimes forgets that her purse is almost empty.
