came to buy people with such fanfare, and people were so happy that they were all speculating whether it would be a dignitary. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The people tried their best, but unfortunately the leading son was too difficult to serve, obviously he was a clean, white and tender little guy, he just didn't want to buy it.

Li Dagang followed Huang Sheng for a long time and knew the adult's thoughts, and when he saw the adult picking someone, he understood what kind of person he was going to buy.

He told Huang Sheng that the Grand Canal had not yet thawed, and that there were many slender men who could not find work to do, and who were suffering in shacks without food and clothing, and that the government had two meals of gruel a day, and that many people might not be able to survive navigation.

There were more than a few thousand people there, very few women and children, most of them were adult men, and the children of fifteen or sixteen that adults wanted were certainly not old or young.

Li Dagang and Han Kuan were both from poor people, and they passed by there twice, so they naturally saw everything in their eyes, and at this moment, they wanted to find a way for those people to live.

Although they knew that the Huang family's financial resources were limited, they could always save a few people.

Of course, Huang Sheng is as good as a stream, there is no point in keeping the silver, and it can only reflect its value when it is used to save people and the dire situation, so he immediately asked Qiaozhen and the others to buy hundreds of cooking cakes and prepare to go to the Tongzhou Slender Man Concentration Area.

All the rulers were afraid of the gathering of displaced people, and the same was true in the Ming Dynasty, especially near the Jingshi, where the precautions were stricter, and thousands of slender men were centrally managed, and they were not allowed to become blind streams. There is a thousand guards watching.

There are many such canal slender men concentrated along the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, and the official master is also afraid that he will not be able to find anyone at the critical juncture of the canal, so the canal freezes and hangs them with some food, so that they will not be scattered in the winter.

The so-called Cao Gang only grew up in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and there was no such large-scale gang in the Ming Dynasty, otherwise the big gang of hundreds of thousands of laborers, in such a troubled era at the end of the Ming Dynasty, would they not make a big move? Why don't you see historical records?

Zhu Yuanzhang, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, started as a cult and a gang, and he knew the dangers of it well in the world, so the entire Ming Dynasty was fighting against them for more than 200 years, and the Ming Dynasty did not have any legal cults and gangs at all.

All cults and gangs exist secretly, and from time to time they make a rebellion is just to break a few small county towns, and they have not been shaken to the national capital like the Manchu Hongxiu Quanda Sect Master.

Huang Sheng was going to let the ten of them go back, and he only took Hexiang and her two maids, escorted by five family members to Tongzhou to have a look.

Bai Peony arranged for the sisters to go back, but she took Bai Furong's hand and couldn't get out of the car, she had to follow the master, and volunteered that she knew these slender men and wanted to help the master choose good people.

Qiaozhen and Laifeng have gone back, the car is very empty, and there are not many of them, and it is not lonely to chat all the way. Huang Sheng actually likes this thorny peony flower, and she always makes people feel a kind of persistence.

Huang Sheng came directly to the camp of the guards who managed these slender men, and the guards of the Ming Dynasty had degenerated to the point that they were almost the same as the peasants, and they were messy and dirty inside.

Those soldiers saw a few majestic knights guarding such a magnificent black car, and knew that a big man was coming, so they immediately returned to Li Guodong, a thousand-household in charge here.

Huang Sheng knows how to pull a tiger skin to make a big banner, and immediately showed Li Qianhu a waist card given by the British grandfather a few days ago.

This is Huang Sheng telling Zhang Zhiji, if the car arrives, what if he encounters an eyeless civilian and military general along the way, what if he forcibly intercepts it?

The little grandfather gave him this token and told him that in the Ming Dynasty, especially in Beizhili, no one dared to touch the things of the British Gongzhang family.

Huang Sheng is still using this jade waist card for the first time, and he doesn't know if it's good or not, who knows that the five products of the thousand households, after seeing the waist card, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Huang Sheng, and he didn't care that he was just dressed as a scholar.

Seeing this token, Li Guodong Qianhu thought that the British Duke had something important to do, and he was extremely nervous, and he was relieved when Huang Sheng explained his intentions.

He immediately ordered a hundred soldiers, surrounded by Huang Sheng's low-key luxury, and came to the canal slender man's shack area.

Several teams of soldiers went in to propagandize, and it didn't take long for many unkempt slender men to arrive.

There is not a fat man here, every child has yellow muscles, thin and tattered clothes, and the adults are all dull and lifeless, and their misty eyes look at Huang Sheng and several gorgeously dressed noblemen with suspicion.

Li Dagang has done this kind of thing many times, and he didn't have to wait for Huang Sheng's command to open his throat and say that his son-in-law was going to choose a young man.

Then a few of them went to the crowd to pull people, Huang Sheng asked Hexiang, Bai Peony, and Bai Hibiscus to talk to Li Dagang and the children they selected, and after choosing again, they came to their side and decided to stay.

"Child, what's your name? How old is it? Where are you from, and who else is in your family? The first teenager came to the front, and Huang Sheng asked with a pleasant face.

"Master, the little one is called Liu Dawan, fifteen years old, a native of Luanzhou, Shandong, the hometown is noisy and the Xiangjiao can't survive, Daddy fled here to pull fiber for a living, last year Layue Daddy died of illness, and the little one is now alone."

"Okay, in the future, you will stay in the Huang family to read and study, and be a family, are you willing?"

"The little one is willing, thank you, the little one doesn't need to read and write, as long as the master gives him food." Huan'er and Le'er are also fifteen years old, and they immediately let the child eat the cooking cakes, and told him to slow down, and he will have to eat every day with the old man in the future.

Liu Dawan felt like a dream in a trance at this time, and regarded Huan'er and Le'er as fairies who had been mortal for nine days.

Le'er giggled and said, "Little brother, don't look like this, if the master finds out and thinks you're a fool, he may change his mind and don't want you!" ”

"Hey! Thank you, sister. Liu Dawan hurriedly lowered his head honestly and ate the cooking cake.

"Master, the little Ma San, sixteen years old, and a younger brother named Ma Fifty-four years old, a native of Qiantun in Liaodong, please ask the master, the little brother will also accept it, and the little one is willing to make cattle and horses for the master."

"Oh? Why wasn't your brother chosen? ”

"Back to the master, the younger brother is too thin, and those big brothers can't look down on it."

"Okay, go and bring your brother with you!"

"Thank you, thank you, sir, woo woo woo ......." Ma San knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the ground and cried.

Originally, I thought I was going to spend money to buy people, but who knew that they were all selected children who had lost their families, they all had their own stories, and each story was tear-jerking, and Huang Sheng felt desolate in his heart.

However, his own silver is limited, and he wants to use it to develop and do great things, and he can't use it for charity at all.

Such a choice is very selfish and helpless, there are too many poor people in Daming who need relief, and Huang Sheng's silver is too small. Only by developing themselves and taking the road of becoming an industrial power can they create more employment opportunities and save more people in the Ming Dynasty.

These slender men found out that Li Dagang and their picks were picking people, and watched the selected children eating cooking cakes, and a few slender men pushed their children out and told them that when someone came to ask, they said that they were also orphans, and they would follow the old man in the future.

Spring is actually the most difficult time for the poor, these parents left hope to their children, they all saw thousands of adults nodding beside the master, the amiable sons of the old man's family are kind and kind-eyed, knowing that the master is not small, if the child is lucky enough to follow it should be much better than now.
