Since the opening of the Mingyue Market, the displaced people in the Nanyang Basin have flocked to Danjiangkou, Xunyang and Shiyan from traditional gathering places such as Nanyang and Xiangyang.

Every once in a while, Mingyuezhuang will organize a group of displaced people to go to Qinling to survive. Mingyuezhuang will provide material help to each group of displaced people, as well as various conveniences in trade and material supply in the future.

The displaced people, of course, have to pay a price.

First of all, according to the place of origin, the household is dispersed, and each group of displaced people, up to 10 people can come from one county. Then it is to accept Mingyuezhuang's proposal and select those who are in charge, those who are in charge of soldiers, and those who are in charge of money...... In short, let the displaced people elect a few people by themselves, and connect with several departments in Mingyue Zhuang Gongzhong. After the displaced people formed villages and settled down, the public middle school of Mingyuezhuang also retained the right to audit, manage the army, and interfere with these villages.

There are many conditions that the homeless people can't understand, and some people can't accept some of the conditions that they can understand.

In the process of moving, the displaced people have formed their own small society. Let some displaced people abandon everything they have been given in the group, and welcome an unpredictable future on a household basis, subject to many unheard-of rules?

Interests come first, and the people in power among the displaced people experience a position that they have never had before, and they no longer want to let go.

How many homeless people can guarantee that they will not starve to death, only two to three percent accept the conditions of Mingyuezhuang, which objectively reduces the burden of Mingyuezhuang......

It's brutal, but it's true. Gongzhong's financial resources are limited, and Li Xiang's financial resources are even more limited.

The plan to send the displaced people into the mountains was carried out in March, and a lot of news came out of the Qinling Mountains one after another, both good and bad.

In the homeless villages settled in the Qinling Mountains, some have found small copper mines, some guard small river valleys, and some are rich in tung oil.

Along with this, some terrible rumors have frightened many of the displaced people.

Late-night encounters with leopards and ferocious iron-eaters? This kind of news is anecdotal and not enough to comment on. Constantly being attacked by fleeing mountain people who have lost their homes? This has made many displaced people timid. The village steward bullies the single-family people who have no clan protection? This kind of thing is already commonplace in some villages.

The homeless people who heard some bad news remembered the experience of "how they became homeless", so they gritted their teeth and refused the help of Mingyue Zhuang Gongzhong.

There are more and more displaced people.

Perhaps the heavens can't see it, but the rapid development of Mingyueji and the continuous growth of the Han River workshop group have begun to absorb a large number of displaced people along the Han River.

The homeless youth are the most popular group. Merchants, warehouses, docks, fleets, and caravans like young people who are dragged down by a small family, and such people are easy to control.

Wang San even indicated on the "Recruitment Brochure" that he wanted to eat a "public meal" at Mingyueji? Those who have a small family have more advantages and want to report as soon as possible. In order to hold the iron rice bowl of the three kings, there have been several waves of reorganized families near Mingyueji, and until today, there are more than 1,000 orphans and widows who have a way to live.

The elderly can go to workshops, warehouses, restaurants, green buildings, and shops to see the doors, clean up, and serve tea and water.

Disabled people do funeral chores, clean up feces, and can be half-full.

Women with no skills and no posture are useless and garbage in the eyes of ordinary people. But Mingyuezhuang likes women with thick hands and feet, strength, and can endure hardships, and it is very generous to initiate a yellow household registration. In line with this, the workshops, inns, inns and restaurants of Mingyuezhuang are most fond of recruiting honest women with thick hands and feet, especially workshops where the owner and steward are also women.

Not to mention the little ones. If it weren't for the fact that raising too many teenagers to attract attention in the Great Zhou, Li Xiang would have wanted to stop many experimental projects and concentrate money and food to set up special Mongolian schools and scout camps. While helping orphans, he cultivated cronies from scratch.

After all, the gentry of the Great Zhou Dynasty were not blind, and Li Xiang could only send the orphans and teenagers to various villages in Qinling in batches, and the public middle school would subsidize rice and grain on time.

People are humane, and rats have rats.

Some of the displaced people want to live honestly, and some do not want to endure hardship. There are quite a few displaced people who are armed with force, have skills, are ambitious, or are accustomed to relying on brute force to fight for survival.

There is a place for the tough. The workshops and caravans on the banks of the Han River, the three brothers of the Wang family in Mingyueji need a lot of guards.

In Mingyue Village, most of the workshop owners who are interested in Li Xiang attach great importance to recruiting guards, and the workshop owners who have a lot of money will also spend a lot of money to poach people from the guards and even the elder brothers' camps.

The rest of the people are the main force of the black and white forces of the Bright Moon Collection. In the vibrant and chaotic bazaar of Mingyue Market, as long as you have a dream, it is possible to turn over the salted fish. Today is the mud on the soles of the feet, and tomorrow is not just a legend in the bright moon set.

Ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, no matter where there is indispensable, there are idle wandering, bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, the style of the scum is always the same, and I will not repeat it here.

The pavilions and courtyards of Mingyueji continued to rise, the Han River workshops continued to grow, and the convoys, fleets and porters along the Han River swelled day by day, absorbing more and more displaced people...... Many of the displaced people from Ganliang, Guanzhong, Hedong, and Daba Mountain are still distributed in the mountains on both sides of the river, but Mingyueji is still developing in a good direction on the whole, until the Huang Cheng family launched a general attack on Mingyuezhuang.

The two-headed fire dragon soared into the sky, and the order of the Bright Moon Set collapsed.

Under the influence of Li Xiang, Wang San designed an advanced, meticulous and flexible management model for Mingyueji, and started with the distribution of benefits, avoiding many of the chronic diseases that prevailed in the Great Zhou from the beginning. But if Mingyueji wants to maintain order, it still needs to make many efforts.

There is Mingyuezhuang in the north of Mingyueji, and there is Xunyang Mansion City in the east. Crossing the Han River in the south, there is Shiyan City thirty miles away. Go east along the Han River, where the mouth of the Danjiang River sits.

The economic officials and generals of the box army who benefited from the workshop, as well as the county lieutenants, patrol inspectors, and township soldiers in various places, began to consciously maintain the rules of the Mingyue set after using small tricks to no avail. This is the official protection of the Bright Moon Collection.

The large and small merchants of Mingyueji and the large and small workshop owners of the workshop group, as well as Wang San, who actually operates Mingyueji, constitute the civil protection of Mingyueji.

Under the layers of protection, even if the displaced people scattered in the mountains along the Han River cannot find a normal livelihood, there is no chance of chaos. They can only struggle to survive, waiting for the cold winter to take the lives of half the younger. For the poor homeless, every year is a reincarnation, and the end of the year is the gate of ghosts.

It's different now.

Huang Cheng and his family led the plan to bring down Li Xiang, and the black and white forces, the local ruffians and outsiders completely destroyed the normal order of Mingyueji.

Seeing the firelight, knowing that there was a big mess in the Mingyueji and Hangang workshops, the displaced people came to the Hangang River in units of dozens to hundreds of people.

The fires along the Han River were warm, and some of the homeless people who were about to starve were speechless because of the long silence, and their upper and lower teeth were tapping, and they could only make a "dang dang dang" sound, which was very strange.

Some homeless people are even grinding their teeth unconsciously. The fire not only brought warmth, but even the smell of meat......

Displaced people out of the mountains.

In less than an hour, seventy percent of the workshops that survived under the impact of black and white forces, local ruffians and outsiders were broken.

The rooster crowed. Wang San looked at the homeless people surrounding his attic house, wiped a cold sweat, and secretly lucked in his heart: Damn, fortunately, the attic compound built by Lao Tzu is in one place, and it is convenient to defend, otherwise it will be miserable!

While watching the eldest brother and the second brother boost the morale of his guards, he was polite to the representatives of the business who came to thank him for saving his life, and he was still thinking about how to leave the vitality of Mingyueji......

Wang San was already busy, and some people didn't have long eyes.

A big merchant shopkeeper with his arms hanging rushed over and yelled at Wang Sansan, "Hurry up and send someone to get back the things of our business, my proprietor is from Jingdong East Road...... Can you afford to mess with Wang San? ”

Although Wang San is a little smart and has read some books, he has no fame and is not a so-called "serious reader". After the family suffered, Wang San worked hard to build a large village of 1,000 people, and he had a mixed social side in his temperament.

Wang San raised his eyebrows, and he was about to ridicule the shopkeeper who spoke evil and acted evilly.

However, the shopkeeper, who had lost a large amount of the owner's goods, was inevitably punished when he returned, had a heart breakdown, and behaved in a bad manner, was too loud. Before Wang San could speak, representatives of several businesses with the same deep background jumped out and accused the shopkeeper with righteousness and awe:

"Nonsense. When is it now, when you open your eyes and see, the homeless people who rushed into the Mingyue Collection are afraid that there will be tens of thousands of people, and they will kill themselves when they go out! ”

"That's it, you...... Although the family has gone through a hundred years, it is a well-known family, and it is necessary to pay attention to rules and conscience in doing things. Steward Wang worked hard to maintain the Bright Moon Collection, provided convenience for various merchants, and did not hesitate to take risks to rescue us, but you spoke ill of you. In order to order Raushzi, he did this, which is really insulting. ”

"Steward Wang threw away most of the family property and took the guards to save our lives. If you don't appreciate it, you just let the family send someone to save your family's goods. I have never seen such a cheeky person. The king is in charge, the homeless people are fierce, it is better to guard these courtyards, and our guards also need to contribute. ”

"That's right, the king's steward doesn't have to pay attention to the man. We will work together to protect this foothold first, and wait for the officers and soldiers to come to the rescue. ”

……

The touching scenes were staged one after another, and the shopkeepers of large and small businesses went into battle together, all persuading Wang San: Safety is important, don't go out to deliver food.

Although he knew the true thoughts of these business managers with big backers, Wang San couldn't help but be excited, thinking: It's really in vain that Lao Tzu forcibly rescued you, this kind of favor should be used well.

Wang San was worried early on that the continued expansion of the riots in the workshop group would trigger the possibility of displaced people leaving the mountain, so he evacuated his own people as soon as possible. Considering the background of some of the firms, Wang San sent people to the door to persuade the people of the firm to give up their belongings, first retreat to Wang San's private courtyard, and forcibly take away the frightened shopkeeper when the homeless people rushed over.

Wang San shook his chest one after another, patted his chest, and said with tears in his eyes: "Wang San has the support of all the shopkeepers, so that he can successfully operate this Mingyue Collection, display his ambitions at the same time, and earn a share of the family business for future generations." Rest assured, my Wang San is risking his life to guard these compounds and attics. ”

"Good!"

"Righteousness!"

"It's a man!"

Applause and noise rang out, and the chaotic convoy of guards raised their weapons and shouted three times. The cards are there, the morale is rising, and when Wang San is impassioned and high-spirited, there is a discordant sound from the attic.

"What's the noise? Which one is the third steward of the king, our leader is talking to you, and he will appear quickly. ”

"You're already surrounded. Show up or we'll rush in! ”
