Early the next morning, Wang Fulin took people to Watergate Street. However, before he had time to ask passers-by where the Xu family's mansion in Shexian County was in the mouth of Mrs. Xu, he saw a scene that he wanted to see but didn't see yesterday.

On the edge of Pratunam Street is a criss-crossing waterway, which spans about seven or eight bridges from north to south and from west to east. At this moment, I saw a large number of people gathered near the bridge, but there was not much noise. Unlike the satin clothes that Wang Fulin saw inside and outside Hangzhou before, most of them were ragged, with patches on their heads, some men and some women, and women were a minority. There are also porridge buckets on several street corners, and some people use large spoons to stir the gruel in the bucket, which is almost inseparable from the water, and most of the people who come and go will drink a bowl without giving money.

"Wujia Machine Workshop in the south of the city, ten people, all of them must be satin!"

Hearing this shout, Wang Fulin thought that there would definitely be a crowd of responders, but what surprised him was that those who drank porridge did not say yes, but a middle-aged man in relatively neat clothes stepped forward, and the comer seemed to be bargaining for a while, and then turned around and made a move. After a while, ten people stepped forward without saying a word, and went directly after the shouting person before. As for the others, despite the envy on their faces, no one dared to argue, but continued to wait silently.

Wang Fulin only stopped and watched for less than a quarter of an hour, and asked for about three sets of workers before and after, ranging from seven or eight people to three or four people, but there was no shortage of people waiting for work in this swarm of people. At this moment, he finally understood why Wu Lian, the governor of Zhejiang, was so emotional yesterday. The Ming Dynasty was set as an agricultural country by Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang from the beginning of the founding of the country, and industry and commerce have begun to gradually surpass agriculture so far. Especially in the southeastern region. This kind of street-like way of recruiting workers. How can it not terrify the civil servants who read the books of the sages? Not everyone is like Wang Daokun from a businessman, so he thinks that both agriculture and business should be emphasized.

He quickly left quietly, and after asking a passer-by, he found the land. As soon as Mrs. Xu met, he smiled at him and said that Master Chen came to inquire in person last night, Wang Fulin had already guessed about this, and he didn't think it was strange, but mentioned the overcrowded scene of the bridgehead when he came before. Although Mrs. Xu was not engaged in the silk weaving industry, he had walked more bridges than Wang Fulin had walked. On the way to Yanyulou to make an appointment, he had to explain a thing or two to Wang Fulin.

"There are about a few hundred weavers, satin workers, and other craftsmen who have come here and hired others, and the porridge is provided for free, which is the rest of the families around the neighborhood who also work as dental workers. They were mostly agreed with the owners of the planes in and around the city, and they were responsible for helping the hired workers find their employers within ten days, and on the same day they were responsible for helping the employers find skilled and docile workers. Therefore, these three parties are conventional, and everyone benefits. ”

Hear here. Wang Fulin knew that a corresponding system had been formed here. Similar to the talent intermediaries of later generations, in a word, as long as there is no sudden overcapacity, although the days are harder, the labor market is still orderly, and there is no need for the government to worry about it. However, Wu Lian was only sympathetic to these hired workers, and hated those who collected protection money, but he didn't see such a scene today, so it was natural for him to ask about it again when he sat in the spacious carriage of Old Lady Xu.

"Those idle guys?" Old lady Xu frowned suddenly, and then sneered, "Farmers farm, workers work, businessmen take risks in business, and if they are not careful, they will lose all their profits and debts, and even the court officials who seem to have unlimited scenery have been studying hard for more than ten years, so they can rise." Only these guys who are in the market, who refuse to endure hardships and have no skills, are the most hateful. I heard that you opened a dart game and contained a bunch of these guys? You have to be careful, most of these people are hob meat, ruthless and unjust, and it is possible to stab a companion at a critical moment. ”

Old lady Xu will not look down on farmers, hired workers, and businessmen, as for officials, he will definitely provide for them, but his attitude towards fighting is extremely disgusting.

Aware of his attitude, Wang Fulin thought of Wu Lian, who was also deeply hated, thinking of the chief official of the Third Division of Zhejiang who had planned to kill two birds with one stone, and thinking of the Hangzhou prefect who had to pinch his nose and be lenient, Wang Fulin was not surprised. It's like those guys like the Qinggang Hongmen in old Shanghai, how many people will like them? Be polite in person, but I don't know how many people scold my mother behind my back!

Located in the central city of Hangzhou, Yanyu Building is more than twice as large as the most famous restaurant in Huizhou City, and is also on the third floor. But such a huge place was chartered today, which made many diners a little disappointed. But when Wang Fulin and Old Lady Xu arrived, the shopkeeper and his men had already coaxed those guests away, but they didn't attract much attention when they entered. As soon as he entered the store, he saw that Mr. Chen was wearing a ponytail scarf, a jade-colored Ruyi fine brocade robe, and two pearls were sewn on a pair of Ruyi shoes on his feet. In contrast, Mrs. Xu was dressed in a solid-colored fine kudzu robe that was not luxurious at all, but she was like an old Confucian in the village school.

But as far as Wang Fulin knows, the old lady's outfit is called low-key luxury, and it is not cheap at all! As for himself, today's signature showman outfit is like the grandchildren of Old Lady Xu, inconspicuous.

In contrast, for his own jewels overshadowing the two opposite, Master Chen was a little proud at first, but he saw that Old Lady Xu had greeted him leisurely, and ordered tea from the main customer, but from the tea leaves, the spring water and fire of the tea, etc., all of them were like a number of treasures, and he was meticulous, and he unconsciously had a feeling of self-shame and self-deprecation, and smiled self-deprecatingly.

"I'm a nouveau riche who doesn't understand life as well as you Hui merchants, and no matter how good the tea is, I can't taste it in my mouth."

"Except for the flavored tea with green onions, ginger and candied fruit, the other teas taste the same to me, and I can't drink good or bad." Wang Fulin smiled and echoed a sentence of Master Chen, seeing that his face immediately eased, and the guy had already gone down to work with interest, he knocked on the handrail with his hand unhurriedly, and said with a smile, "I invited someone from Old Lady Xu today." I got straight to the point. Master Chen. I don't know what you know about the area from Wulinmen to Beixinguan in the area between Hushu. What do you know about those who are fighting over their territories? ”

Master Chen was thinking about how not to lose face today, but he blocked Wang Fulin's mouth, it was best to introduce himself to Wu Lian, the governor of Zhejiang, so that he could dredge up the relationship for those talents, so as not to waste his previous investment, but Wang Fulin turned out to be thousands of miles away, and he was suddenly a little unexpected.

I thought about it for a while. He replied bluntly: "Although they have done things for me in the past, these guys who can't be on the stage, I just sent someone over to inform them when I use them." I heard that Wang Gongzi, you also followed Yanfuzun into Beixinguan and subdued one of them, what kind of dart game are you going to start? The guys in the lake villas with signs are gnashing their teeth at this, you have to be careful. ”

After all, he couldn't help but be angry, and unconsciously turned on the mockery mode. However, when he said this, he found that Old Lady Xu was smiling and watching the excitement, and Wang Fulin did not have any angry and annoyed expression at all. Instead, he looked at him meaningfully. Even if he prides himself on being an old man for half his life, at this time, he thinks of the losses he suffered from the enemy before. Immediately, I couldn't help but be vigilant.

Sure enough, the next moment, Wang Fulin spoke: "Since Master Chen has dealt with these people, Master Chen must have an idea about the problem that Master Wu has been haunting about. Since the Beixinguan Rebellion, although all those who participated in the gathering of people to make rebellion have been banned by the government, before the labor is completed, some people are ready to move, and sooner or later they will be in danger of the township. Fu Yuan Wu Ye has always wanted someone to start a way for these people to lead the way, so that they can support themselves, I don't think that there is no one like Master Chen, who eats all the black and white and has more ways to do it. ”

Without waiting for the stunned Master Chen to come to his senses, Wang Fulin hurriedly said: "If Master Chen can subdue those guys, then, Master Wu of Fuyuan will not only remember your old mistakes, but will remember your merits." If you want, I can introduce you to meet Wu Ye's cronies. ”

Master Chen has been in the business for so many years, and he knows that there is a kind of person called the white wolf with empty gloves in these years, who pretends to be familiar with a certain official, and then deceives you to pay money and goods, but in the end he tricks you without discussion. But he had already determined that the previous group of Xiucai had offended Wu Lian, the governor of Zhejiang, and the great master of the school had already begun to act, and Wang Fulin was able to invite someone like Mrs. Xu he had seen to come to the town, if it was really a liar, he could only say that this liar was really a little high-end. Although the problem that Wang Fulin put on the table was really tricky, the quid pro quo did make him excited.

Those messy past events are written off, and he should be the person who is listed in front of the governor, right?

"Are you serious?"

"Of course!"

Master Chen pondered left and right, and finally made up his mind after the man had sent all the wine, food, and tea. He personally poured a full glass of wine for Wang Fulin, and then filled a glass for Mrs. Xu, and finally he held the wine jug in one hand and a huge wine bowl in the other, and then held the bowl with both hands and said: "All in all, all the mistakes before were my Chen Mingfang's fault, thank you for the old lady Xu for giving face to the Chinese people today, Wang Gongzi, this big bowl is considered to be my atonement to you!" ”

Seeing that Master Chen drank it all, Wang Fulin smiled and replied, and the next time the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves, it was naturally not enough for outsiders.

It wasn't until he went out and got into Old Lady Xu's carriage that he just drank two cups of relief, and then only heard Old Lady Xu ask: "Do you dare to love you to wade water for Wu Buyuan?" ”

"I can't help it, the official level crushes people to death, Fu Yuan Wu Ye personally came to the door, my small shoulders are thin, of course, I can only pick a capable person to push out and carry the burden, see if Wu Ye is satisfied."

Of course, Wang Fulin will not say that even if he wants to integrate the industry, he will definitely not take the lead in the open, but will operate in secret. Once the successful people who manipulate the underground kingdom see the light, how many will end well?

So, he needs someone to wade through the river first. I'm sorry Master Chen, please go first, if he succeeds, Wang Fulin will not suffer, if he fails, he will not be too late to go again!
