Chapter 476: Humanoid 'Wealth Resources'
After two months in prison, Li Gui finally saw the sun outside. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
He regretted it very much, why he was obsessed with money, and he was greedy for the money in the cabinet when the Fu Han army entered Chongqing, but when the Fu Han army entered Zigong's hometown, his owner didn't have any, he didn't have any, he didn't have any. Say the important thing three times!
His proprietor gave two or three hundred thousand taels of silver to the Manchus. At the beginning, the millions of cattle that were rich and noble were almost bent. If it weren't for Wu Xueli, the general judge of the Xuzhou Mansion at that time, who stood up to 'uphold justice', the Niu family would have collapsed.
But the strange thing came out, the Fu Han army entered Xuzhou, occupied the artesian well, and the Niu family, who donated two or three hundred thousand taels of gold to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, was fine! And many salt merchants who donated far less than millions of cattle have been severely punished, and even the whole family is finished, and then he is the unlucky. He was greedy for money on the cabinet, and he was sent to the yamen by the owner mercilessly.
Li Gui planted it, and it was planted thoroughly. Not only is he finished, but his family is also finished. But he admires his owner very much, he is really powerful enough, and he can hook up with the Fu Han Army in Sichuan. But he was also really curious, what did the Niu family give up to let himself give up two or three hundred thousand yuan to the Manchu Qing Dynasty to blow away?
Of course, since the Fu Han Army entered Sichuan, it can be said that it has not committed any crimes against the people, not even a single one who fights the autumn wind. So much so that the more than a thousand taels of silver that he himself embezzled on the counter were revealed! And the most tragic thing is that Li Gui, who was greedy for more than 1,000 taels of silver, still thinks about the more than 3,000 stones of salt on the counter, and the whole family still lives in the old place. Be taken by someone and take one to the other!
In fact, as the chief shopkeeper of the Niu family in charge of the salt shop in Chongqing, Li Gui's status in the Niu family is not low, but Li Gui will not know about the whole family's head loss unless he becomes Niu Gui. Li Gui didn't know that Wu Xueli, the general judge who was a good friend of the Niu family, had an old classmate friend named Pang Zhenkun. So he can only be tragic!
Li Gui's guilt was conclusive, and he himself admitted that Chongqing, under military control, did not even give him a chance to pass through the court, so he was thrown into prison. In two months, Li Gui knew that his family had left Chongqing, and that day his old wife and children and grandchildren cried and told him that after losing the silver on the counter, the family still had some silver, but the Li family had no place in Chongqing or Sichuan. They're going to Hubei, to a whole new place. Otherwise, with a father like him, the children and grandchildren of the Li family will not be able to raise their heads for the rest of their lives.
The small window in the prison faces north, the mouth is not large, the sun shines very little, and the room is a little damp. However, the grass on the shop is still clean, changed every five days, there is no foul smell, and there are no bugs. The room is often sprinkled with lime, and the walls are also coated with a thick layer of lime just to prevent insects. The convenient net barrel was also clean, and the Fu Han army specially cleared the prison after capturing Chongqing. It wasn't just the cell head jailer who was cleaned up, but the entire prison environment.
Prison guards carry batons and short knives and make rounds every hour. When the meal is given at noon, although it is green vegetables and radish and wowotou, it is still possible to fill the abdomen. The prison guard said more than once: The prisoner can eat and sleep well, that is the virtue of the current imperial court, you thieves are destined to catch up with the good time.
Li Gui has not visited the prison for others before, and in comparison between the two sides, he feels that what the prison guard said is indeed right, and life in prison is indeed better now. It's just that no matter how good the days here are, can they have his old days?
No matter how clean this prison is, can it have its own yard clean?
Li Gui still wants to look at life outside, and it is very strange that his crimes have been confirmed, and he has been sentenced to five years in prison, why does he stay in prison all the time? He walked out as he picked the straw off his body.
In the past two days, three people in his cell were dragged out and never came back, but the others were very good, and now two people were brought out with Li Gui.
This is the first 'release' after being imprisoned. Li Gui also saw a lot of old friends, the ruffians and hooligans in Chongqing, the old oilmen in the yamen, and a few local people who had mixed with the group training, many of whom had been photographed before. However, he still carefully found that he had not seen a single guy who was angry with the people in the past.
Thinking of the 'autumn without committing a crime' when the Fu Han army entered Chongqing, Li Gui felt that the Fu Han army and those bullies and murderers were definitely not all the way. Then the fate of these people can be predicted.
"Are you going to kill us?"
and Li Gui were thrown into prison one day, and Zou Bin, a friend of wine and meat at the wine table in the past, trembled all over. Two old friends met here with a very comedic effect.
Li Gui is four or five years younger than Zou Bin, but Zou Bin is purely a loser, relying on the family property shop handed down by his ancestors, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, and he doesn't know what law he committed in the New Dynasty and was thrown into prison. Li Gui also asked Zou Bin that he didn't know what law he had violated. He donated more than 10,000 taels of silver to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but there were more people in Chongqing who donated money and grain amounting to 8,000 taels, so how could they arrest him? Zou Bin is so frightened that his legs are weak now.
Li Gui is much stronger than Zou Binke. "To kill someone, you must first eat a severed head meal. Didn't you hear Zhang Dadao, who changed his skin, that there is a shortage of manpower for mining and road construction in the imperial court, and most of our prisoners have to be reformed through labor. ”
"Say something!"
The prison guard next to him heard the voice and scolded him.
The prison guard's eyes glanced at Li Gui fiercely, he remembered this guy. What does it mean to change a skin? Do you think this skin is so easy to change? The few cell bosses in the prison are now all fishing for their heads in the underworld. The original Chongqing government boss only had a few small shrimps left, and they all had no chance to commit crimes on weekdays, so they could have a new dignity.
Li Gui was swept away by the fierce gaze of the prison guard, as if he had been pricked by a needle, and immediately tightened his mouth, hid his head and hunched his back, and stopped talking.
A group of people were driven out of the prison, and when they came out the back door, they saw a row of carts parked in the alley. They are the most common four-wheeled board cars, and they are certainly incomparable with four-wheeled carriages in terms of shock absorption. There is only the advantage of high load and wear-resistant.
A dozen people in one car, fifty or sixty prisoners, all of them were driven into four cars.
Beside it, a group of cavalry walked along, and the convoy circled left and right, and finally passed through a gate, and finally stopped.
Everyone got out of the car, and Li Gui shrank his head in the crowd, trying not to attract attention. But his eyes were not idle, and he looked left and right along the way, and found that this was a place he knew. It is the original station of the Chongqing Jiangguan Inspection Division.
Not far away, a small group of soldiers with guns lined up to the left and right, guarding a table in the middle. Behind the table sat an officer-like man, holding a pen and a piece of paper in front of him.
"It's supposed to be a bookseller." Li Gui saw that the officer's rank was two bronze stars, he knew that this was called a sergeant, and his face was also full of Sven, and he thought subconsciously. This really made him right, isn't this sergeant officer just a teacher?
Fifty or sixty people lined up in a long line, and under the watchful eye of the Fu Han army, they were all very obedient.
"Name."
Walking by one by one, when it came to Li Gui, the secretary in his eyes didn't raise his head, and asked while dipping his pen in ink.
"The small surname is Li, and the cheap name is Gui."
The officer has an aura that doesn't put people in his eyes at all, which is a tone of complete contempt, contempt, and contempt, which makes Li Gui, a person who is still a person with status, hate in his heart. But no matter how much anger he had, he could only endure it, his heart was ruthless, and he still had a smile on his face.
The officer Lisuo wrote 'Li Gui' on the roster. "Where's the people? How old is it? As he spoke, the officer finally raised his eyes and glanced at Li Gui. But Li Gui was insulted and humiliated even deeper.
"Forty, from Nanxi, Xuzhou." Li Gui gritted his teeth and endured his anger, and walked into the other group of people, only then did he turn his head and stare at the officer, and he was hating in his heart, "Lao Tzu remembers you." Don't fall into your grandfather's hands one day! "Although it's like a pipe dream.
"Sit down, sit down!"
Just when Li Gui was scolding in his heart, a reprimanding voice reached his ears. Li Gui immediately woke up from his conjecture, turned his head to look at the bayonet attached to his thigh, his legs immediately weakened, and he sat down cross-legged on the spot.
Then he saw a group of shavers carrying hot water and razors, carrying stools and basins to them.
"Sit on a stool, shut up, close your eyes, don't move, don't speak."
The harsh reprimand made everyone dare not disobey half a point. It doesn't matter what your previous identity was. Now you're just a prisoner.
Sitting down honestly and closing their eyes, everyone could feel the sound of rustling overhead, and they could feel something falling on their shoulders, and the last handful of hot water splashed on their heads.
By the time Li Gui was lifted from the stool, he had already shaved his head, and his original greasy hair could only touch his smooth scalp now.
Now I want to be a monk!
Li Gui really didn't know what was going to happen to him and the others. Even if you really want to be reformed through labor, you haven't heard of shaving the scoop?
"Go in and wash up." In the confusion, Li Gui and a group of others came to a big house. As soon as you lift the cotton blanket at the door, you can feel a warm moisture rushing to your face.
"Isn't it a bathhouse?" Li Gui's brain was confused. Zou Bin on the side was also surprised and shouted: "What kind of raft does the court want to make with us?" Shaved bald, still want to take a bath? ”
If you're outside, taking a bath in the middle of winter is definitely a treat. But now, it's just a little scared.
Li Gui took off his clothes in two and two and was driven into the house with Zou Bin. "If you come, you will be safe. Our current identity is left to fate! "Li Gui didn't know that he had become Li Gui, and pointed to the sky when he spoke, but this 'heaven' obviously showed that it was not God, but the court of Nanjing City.
A quarter of an hour later, Li Gui and the others were driven out. The clothes are no longer the clothes they used to be, the thick cotton jackets, cotton hats and shoes are exactly the same.
The color is dark gray and very plain, just like the monk's robe. Dozens of bald heads were dressed in the same way, and at first glance, dozens of monks gathered together.
"You've all heard me clearly. From tomorrow onwards, you will be a member of the second team of the 055 battalion of Chuanzi. Have a good meal at noon today, and set off in the afternoon. ”
"In the labor camps in the future, you have the right to write a letter to your relatives every quarter, and if you are illiterate, you can ask a teacher to write a letter on your behalf and hand it to your family. So, when you arrive at the camp, you will have one last chance to change your home address. Don't be clever enough to ruin your chances of communicating with your family. "This is not alarmist, I don't know how many such things there are.
……
At the beginning of the new year, when the curtain began on the 145th year of Chongzhen, a year that left a strong mark in the history of China in this time and space, no one knew that hundreds of 'Li Gui' had already embarked on the road of labor reform.
Some of them became road builders, some became river dredging laborers, some became miners in mines, or they came to the important places of coastal defense to build one fort after another. It's better than Shantou, Qinzhou, such as the three capitals!
Especially the latter, which is a project that Chen Ming is very concerned about. Mingming Sanduao is a world-class natural deep-water port, with wide waters and good water depth, with a deep water area of more than 10 meters that of Beilun, Ningbo, which is 26 times that of Beilun, Ningbo, and 8 times that of Rotterdam, the Netherlands; The deep-water coastline around Sanduao is 5 times longer than that of Beilun in Ningbo and 3 times that of Yokohama Port in Japan, ranking first in the world in terms of deep-water coastline and deep water. The waterway is excellent, the wind shelter is good, it has a natural deep-water channel, there are 6 ideal anchorages with a water depth of more than 10 meters in Australia, and there is no obstruction to navigation reefs; At the same time, the small abdomen of the Australian mouth is large, and the width of the Australian mouth is only 3 kilometers, and the natural barrier formed by the mountains makes most of them calm. It is a very typical deep-water harbor of drowning valley type, with a large flow of rivers flowing into Macao, small sediment content, not easy to silt, and a stable geological structure in the port area.
Any condition is first class perfection! But in another time and space, Sanduao has become what economists call the "golden fracture zone" due to various internal and external political reasons, as well as the geographical transportation difficulties in the Ningde area!
Shanghai Port, Shenzhen Port, Qingdao Port, Ningbo Port, Guangzhou Port, Tianjin Port, Xiamen Port, Qinhuangdao Port, Dalian Port, Yingkou Port and so on. According to the area, it can be divided into the following five port areas: ports in the Bohai Rim region, ports in the Yangtze River Delta, ports in the southeast coastal region, ports in the Pearl River Delta region and ports in the southwest coastal region.
However, Sanduao is just between the ports in the Yangtze River Delta region and the ports in the southeast coastal area, and a world-class deep-water port has been almost vacant for 50 years, which is a great pity.
Of course, with the current strength of the Han army and the existing scientific and technological means, it is also unrealistic to improve the land transportation in the Ningde area.
However, it is not a problem to build Sanduao and Hong Kong.
The latter was also the "gateway to and out, the throat of Wuyi" on the coast of eastern Fujian in ancient times. In the third year of Ming Jingtai, Sanduao set up a river berth; In the twenty-third year of Kang Mazi in the Qing Dynasty, after the fall of Zheng Ming, the Manchu Qing Dynasty set up the Ningde Tax General Port here, under the jurisdiction of nine ports; At the end of the Qing Dynasty, which was unbearable, the Manchu Qing Dynasty opened Sandu Ao, Sandu Island was opened as a foreign trade port, and Fu Customs was officially established on Sandu Island. Then 24 countries, including Britain, the United States, Germany, Russia, Italy, Japan, and Portugal, built berths, offices or representative offices here, and 4 countries had banks here, and Italy also set up consulates here.
Therefore, even if the land transportation is not smooth, only as a 'report' and a naval station, Sanduao definitely has its own value.
In addition to the relatively strict attitude of the captured bannermen and Mongols, the Fu Han army now kills those who are seriously wounded and those whose weapons are stained with blood, and no longer kills the green battalion, the people's bravery, and the training army, and so on, and they all make every effort to treat the wounded. To be more precise, the attitude of the Fu Han army towards the Tartars has also been reined in a lot, and they were killed when they were injured - they couldn't act alone; Now, as long as someone is willing to carry you, then follow the team of prisoners of war, and give some medicinal herbs, and then it is up to fate. Because there is now a shortage of heavy labor force in all parts of the country, every prisoner of war is a very valuable asset of the country.
In the city of Nanjing, after Chen Ming replaced Chen Hui to worship the ancestors, he started the dynasty, and Chen Hui still came out with his body supported. His cough has not improved these days, and Chen Ming is afraid that this cough will 'turn' into pneumonia. In previous lives, pneumonia was not a disease, but at this time, pneumonia can kill people.
Since the second day of the Lunar New Year, Chen Ming has entered the palace every day. It was in the palace that he really realized that before he knew it, he already had so many brothers and sisters...... (To be continued.) )
