Chapter 24: Hiring Poor Military Households as Porters!
The pavement during the Ming Dynasty was poor and not very wide. But it's not absolute!
Some of the main official road pavements, as well as the pavement between Ayutthaya and Ayutthaya, are still interesting enough, and even have bluestone as the pavement.
Otherwise, how can an 800-mile expedited or 500-mile expedited letter be delivered?
Only less, from the seaside here to Yantai Fucheng, these dozens of nearly a hundred miles of road. As long as Zhu Zilong is willing, he has the confidence to drive the truck directly and get home easily.
However, is that really good?
In an era when no one had invented the bicycle, modern trucks with gasoline burners went on a rampage.
Khan, that picture is so beautiful, I always feel that something is wrong there.
It is estimated that the common people of the Ming Dynasty will kneel on the side and kowtow all the way. I thought it was a fairy coming!
In this era, many people believe in ghosts and gods. So, if you insist on doing this, it seems to be feasible.
However, as atheist modern people, it is generally customary to be a little unnatural to do so.
Unless it is a last resort, this method of killing Mu Xiu in the forest, it is estimated that any traverser will not use it at the beginning.
However, if you don't, how can you get the goods back to Zhangjiazhuang?
Moving on your own?
Think about it, chrysanthemum tight!
Put the goods here and call someone to move them? Well, the idea is good, but the reality is skinny.
The population of the Ming Dynasty was not very large, but there were often hunters passing by in the mountains, fishermen secretly going to the sea on the seashore, and even homeless people passing by from time to time.
These nearly 100 miles have gone back and forth two or three times, if people find so many ownerless goods here.
If you are bold enough to call a few people, it is estimated that you will lose one-third of the goods.
The probability of this kind of probability of the financial pipe is estimated to be proportional to traffic accidents, which is not too large. However, if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what if!
At this moment!
Zhu Zilong is extremely jealous of the protagonists in some online novels, who have a space ring with a wave of his hand, and carry many goods with him, and many NB.
But it's just a matter of thinking.
If you also have a space ring, go back empty-handed. When I got home and entered the room, I waved my hand and the goods were full!
When you were all mentally retarded in the Ming Dynasty, did you collectively open the halo of retarded?
said it, I don't want people to be a god from the beginning. After all, there is no power at all, so you will play the fairy turn. Attract the attention of local high-level officials and other forces, and play in the woods.
It's just that if you don't die, you won't die!
As for Zhu Zilong's cottage moonlight treasure box that can only return to modern times once in 49 days, you pretend to be a fairy and have no power, but whenever something happens, you just want to run away and have nowhere to run.
What if there is an emperor doppelganger? Far water can't quench your thirst!
After thinking about it, Zhu Zilong decided to compromise a way. First, drive the truck to a place not far from the official road, and let a row of trees block the corner. Then cover it with weeds and a green cloth!
and then drove the truck to a big cave by the sea, (in the process, I found a big boulder along the way, which is estimated to be hundreds of nearly 1,000 catties)
Then, with the strength of the milk, he pushed the boulder and smashed it into the hole so that no one could spot the truck in the hole.
As a half-dragon who has been reborn twice, he has great power, which is comparable to super innate divine power. That's what he can do, and he replaced other malnourished Ming Dynasty people to push the boulder. It is estimated that there are not dozens or nearly hundreds of people, and it is simply impossible!
When I returned to Zhu Zilong near the official road, I remembered that there seemed to be a village not far from here.
He decided to use some money and go to the village to ask someone to help transport the goods back to Zhangjiazhuang. It's only about twenty miles away from that small village, and it's not afraid that someone will come to steal the goods!
However, Zhu Zilong obviously misunderstood.
That place was not a village, but actually a branch of Lingshanwei.
The location of this Lingshanwei is the location of Jiaonan County and Huangdao District of modern Qingdao City. If you are on the modern side, you will find that the distance from Yantai East (Haiwang Road) to Lingshanwei is about 15.2 kilometers, the whole journey takes about 44 minutes, and passes through 7 bus stops.
Of course, the location of this ancient Lingshanwei is obviously a little different from the modern one.
Lingshanwei branch point, there are hundreds of households.
Let's say it's a village, so to speak. Say no, but it's not. Because they are the last of the military households.
In the Ming Dynasty, the guard system ensured its self-sufficiency with the military tun and guaranteed the source of soldiers by hereditary, so it was closed and conservative as its outstanding characteristics.
The guards were partly defending the city and some were planted, and they were required to be basically self-sufficient. You still have to pay taxes, it's too TM's cheat!
In modern times, there are some militia members, and they still have salaries, food and shelter. There is nothing here, and you have to pay taxes in turn, so you don't talk about the fields, you have to open up the wasteland by yourself, and you still have to be oppressed from above. Miserable, miserable, miserable!
With the development of society in the Ming Dynasty, due to factors such as abandonment, occupation by powerful landlords, and renting and selling, Tuntian gradually became private. The military households of the guard station have lost the land on which they depend, and there is no guarantee of food and clothing. And this Lingshan Guard Station by the sea is even more miserable!
There are not many good fields by the sea, so the poor are even better.
But people always have to live, and the court doesn't care much about the military households. Then rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, rely on the sea to eat the sea, and if you are so close to the sea, you have to rely on him to earn some food and clothing money to spend.
As a result, the military brothers of Lingshanwei were poor, so they could only smuggle some sea salt in exchange for living expenses.
There is an official Lingshan salt farm not far from here, as long as you boil out the salt, the salt farm will buy, a load of salt, about one hundred and twenty catties, can be barely sold for three dollars of silver. (This is coarse salt, the worst quality, about 100 yuan)!
It's just that there are some risks in selling this boiled salt to the salt factory, if the inspector who investigates the illicit salt and his subordinates find out.
Hmph, hum!
If it is light, it will break the house, and if it is heavy, it will be cut off and beheaded.
But then again, the patrol of the seizure of illicit salt is generally the largest local smuggler of salt, and hundreds of ruffians have gathered under his command to run rampant in several counties. He is only allowed to smuggle himself, and other ordinary people earn some living expenses, and he will crack down. At the end, only the officials were allowed to set fires, and the people were not allowed to light lamps!
There are hundreds of military households and their families in this Lingshanwei branch, and they boil a lot of salt every year, but most of the silver falls into the inspection pocket of the smuggling salt.
It's not too much to say that he is a robber in official clothing!
Of course, these Zhu Zilong didn't know, at this time, he came all the way to the Lingshanwei branch village.
The military households here are not much different from ordinary people, so after learning that this is the Lingshan Guard, Zhu Zilong just stayed for a while.
When he offered to let the young and strong laborers of the village help him carry the goods, each of them for a tael of silver.
After swiping it, nearly 100 people signed up almost all at once.
Zhu Zilong's brows twitched fiercely, and finally he pumped a dozen of them that were still a little muscular in it, and led the way to the cargo hideout.
It seems that there is a way to solve the problem of transporting goods to the city in the future.
