Sapporo City, the capital of the Guwei Overseas Territory, has a population of 250,000. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Even in the whole of the Tang Dynasty, Sapporo is the second largest city in the Tang Dynasty, and even more populous than the rapidly growing industrial city of San Francisco, half of the Manchu immigrants moved here, and the main economic sectors of the local economy are agriculture and industrial mining, 60% of the population is engaged in agriculture, 30% is engaged in mining, and 10% is in some service industries and factories.

Since Guwei was the main rear of the Tang army in the Qing Dynasty and the main source of logistical supplies, Sapporo not only built a large number of material reserve warehouses, but also had a series of auxiliary factories, such as vehicle repair shops, ship repair factories, etc., and even at the end of 1779, an arsenal was built here, mainly for the production and maintenance of light weapons.

In Governor Lee Shing-on's development plan, Namgush Island will become an important industrial center for Datang. Since the main inhabitants of Nanguwei Island are now Manchurian, and they are all forcibly exiled, they have a certain amount of resentment towards the Tang Dynasty, so the rapid strengthening of the modernization of Nanguwei Island has caused some discussion and controversy in China.

Since the introduction of a large number of Manchu immigrants to Nanguwei Island last year, there have been seven riots, the largest of which was the coal mine miners' riot in October. In the end, these miners, who were uncles a few months ago, decided to take their bloody actions, picked up their mining picks, and rebelled against the Tang cadres and foreign brigade soldiers who managed them.

The ending, of course, was very bloody, and two Tang cadres were unfortunately killed. Five foreign brigade security guards were killed or wounded. Li Sheng'an quickly mobilized German mercenaries to suppress the miners' rebellion. More than 200 people were killed in the chaos. This miners' riot also became the largest accident since the establishment of Goodway.

After the uprising, the government of Guwei Ling rethought the current management system and carried out certain reforms. First of all, the labor intensity has not changed, and the usual miner labor intensity is still 8-10 hours. However, the flexibility of management has increased, and Goodway Mining has introduced more management techniques, such as reward and punishment mechanisms.

For example, there are ten mining teams in a mine, but there are two canteens. The mining team, which has done the most work, is able to enjoy better food in the small canteen, such as a significantly increased amount of meat, and a greater abundance of vegetables and fruits. The mining team, which was the lagging behind, reduced three meals to two meals, and the amount of meals was cut in half.

At the same time, the mining teams at the top of the queue have also relaxed their personal freedom, and they are allowed to take one day off every half month, which can be supervised under supervision. Go to the town near the mining area, enter the tavern, drink, gamble, etc. Although Goodview is forbidden to **** industry. But there are still some fireworks girls who appear spontaneously, and the miners are paid a small amount of money in the mine, but enough to pay for entertainment.

The collective farms that developed agriculture also used a more attractive mode of production, and in addition to the grain that was required to be handed over, if the grain was overloaded, it could be purchased in a centralized and unified manner, and this enabled the peasants to have additional income.

Generally speaking, the immigrants in Guwei Territory enjoy a certain degree of freedom under the condition of a certain degree of personal restrictions. Regardless of whether it was the prince or Baylor before, they were forced to work. However, the government of Guwei has not broken up any family, and the existence of the family has maintained a certain stability of immigration. Even the coolies, whose families live near the mines, are allowed to return home after work.

Of course, the violent organs will not tolerate any escape. There have been many cases of trying to go to sea and return to the Central Plains, and there have also been cases of fleeing from towns and villages and hiding in the mountains and forests, but as long as they are caught, they will be shot directly. Moreover, even if there were ships from here that could go to sea, they would not be able to find their way back to the Central Plains, and they could only die at sea in the end.

It has been almost a year since the immigrants arrived here, and many of them have completely accepted their fate, and they have accepted their status from hardcore crops to constrained vagrants, and in fact in the first few months of the arrival of the immigrants on Nanguwei Island, there has been a very alarming mortality rate, many of whom are dying of fear, because they cannot bear the intensity of labor, and there are also those who die of disease and disease. However, most of the injured and sick have received medical assistance from the Tang people, otherwise the mortality rate may have doubled.

In fact, Hokkaido is a good place, and the settlers have already cultivated a large amount of farmland, and in 1780 it was clear that it would be able to achieve food self-sufficiency, and even a relatively large surplus.

The city of Sapporo is actually divided into more than a dozen townships, and since agriculture is the main focus, farmers are concentrated in the townships, and they are surrounded by their own farmland. The urban area is dominated by low-rise buildings, and because the Tang Army is stationed here, it also has a relatively complete variety of service infrastructure, such as banks, shopping malls, hospitals, and schools. And these institutions were not only open to the Tang people, but also to the Manchu immigrants. Many people who live here have become accustomed to going to the supermarket to buy all kinds of things they need. Although the income of Guwei immigrants is significantly lower than that of the mainland, it is much higher than the subsistence line and has a certain disposable income.

Lianhua Supermarket Sapporo Branch, the turnover here cannot be compared with that of Los Angeles and San Francisco, after all, the consumption power is insufficient, but this large shopping-mall can still be regarded as a daily profit. The soldiers of the Tang Army and the soldiers of the foreign brigade stationed here are relatively rich, and considering the local population base, the profits are good.

Qianlong, who was dressed in a plain robe, walked into the supermarket by himself. The winter in Hokkaido is very wet and cold, and he can't stand it, but the heating in the supermarket is very full, and the Ishikari Plain produces coal locally, and the supermarket is heated, so it is quite warm inside. Qianlong's dress is a bit peculiar, he has a flat head, and the kaftan is very thin, because he wears a sweater inside, and it is cold outside, and he also wears a down jacket.

Even though he hated the Tang people, Qianlong had obviously realized the excellent warmth of clothes such as sweaters and down jackets.

There are quite a few salespeople in the supermarket. Most of them are women. In fact, many of them were palace maids in the Forbidden City in the past. Someone recognized Qianlong. But his face twisted and pretended not to see it. Qianlong was no stranger to this situation, he was just a deposed emperor who had lost his throne, and Guwei had a mandatory decree strictly prohibiting everyone from making big bows to the old nobles, etc., at the beginning, many people were sincerely afraid to see Qianlong, but they soon found that because of their own behavior, the family was forced to move to a smaller house. Even a month's salary was cut by half, and the consequences made them less and less afraid to disobey the law.

Moreover, no one is naturally willing to kneel to others, even if the former palace maids here may have bowed to Qianlong a few years ago, but now they are too lazy to do so, because it is not beneficial. If they don't kneel, Qianlong can't punish them, and if they kneel, they will be in trouble.

Qianlong can be regarded as feeling the warmth and coldness of human affection, but he still maintains his prestige and arrogance. He went to the stationery sales area and found a random salesperson. Said: "Give me ten knives of pure leather emblem paper." ”

The saleswoman here is also coincidental, the same surname is Aixin Jueluo, is the daughter of a yellow belt family, but the family is not good, decades ago in the farm near the capital farming, her life was not very good, but after coming to Sapporo, she applied for a supermarket salesman, every day anyway, she is standing here to guide shopping, not very tired, but earns more than some farmers and miners, naturally very satisfied. She naturally knew Qianlong, it was not the first time Qianlong had come to the supermarket to purchase, and her former palace maid's colleagues had given her guidance. The first time, she still had the honor of seeing Long Yan, but after a few times, she felt that it was nothing.

If it was an ordinary Tang person, or even a German mercenary, and asked her to help get things, she would admit it, but I don't know when, she had a kind of contempt for the Eight Banners to the clan, and this kind of mentality is, you are nothing now, and what is it with the old lady. Especially for Qianlong, she owed any favor, so she didn't raise her eyelids and said: "Don't you have a long hand, take it yourself, the counter is over there, take it and check it out by yourself, I still have to take inventory!" ”

Qianlong was furious: "Bold! ”

This momentum also frightened the saleswoman, but she still didn't bird Qianlong, and she didn't look back, what should she do.

Qianlong's loud voice made everyone else look this way, pointing and pointing, which made Qianlong feel like a monkey, being watched and played, and his old face was red. Soon, the manager on duty came up, he glanced at the saleswoman and did not reprimand her. It's just that he went to Qianlong and bowed, but he didn't dare to have too much angle, at best, he nodded relatively big.

"Guest officer, if you need anything, I'll get it for you." The manager is also a Manchurian, not long ago people respected him as Prince Su, he is also Yongxi, a generation younger than Qianlong.

Because he is more cooperative and has a good head, he became the manager of the supermarket, which is okay. The more this is the case, the more he dare not call Qianlong the emperor in front of everyone, because he guarantees that there will be a lot of mouths to sue him, and then his position as a manager will not be kept.

Of course, Qianlong knew Yongxi, and Yongxi still maintained a little basic respect for himself, which made him talk about masturbation. Still, more bleak. As a deposed emperor, he was placed under house arrest in disguise, his residence was only 80 square meters in size, and his concubines did not live in the same room as him. Even if he came to the supermarket, Qianlong knew that there was someone behind him who was following him, and as long as there was the slightest mistake, he would definitely be locked up.

Compared with ordinary Manchurians, Qianlong did not have a job, in fact, he did not need to work at his age, and the government would provide him with a "pension for honor", but it was pitiful, and there was no need to think about it about food and clothing. Qianlong had nothing else to do all day, but to read and write poems, or walk around. He couldn't afford to hire a full-time cook, and he could only let his concubines learn to cook. There were many things he had ever done for the first time in his life, or he had rarely done on his own.

For example, to dress yourself, to go out and buy things by yourself.

Yongxi dispersed those who watched the excitement, drove away the saleswoman who had no spirit of service, and stayed here to accompany Qianlong, but even so, he would not call him an emperor, or even bow deeply. Yongxi is a realistic person, although he still has decency and mercy, but he knows that the world has changed, there is no emperor here, and there is no more Prince Su, so the set of masters and slaves is no longer practical.

"Ten knives of net leather emblem paper." Qianlong Road.

Yongxi knew Qianlong's work and rest, and writing some sad poems about the death of the country is almost the biggest career of the deposed emperor now. But Yongxi also admitted that Qianlong was really a very bad poet with almost no talent to speak of.

"Guest officer, the price of emblem paper is still relatively high, what do you think of this hard paper? It is only a fraction of the price of the emblem paper, which is cheap and cost-effective. Yongxi said.

Qianlong's brows furrowed, and he said, "With this hard paper, you can't use the pen and ink at all." ”

Yongxi said: "Of course, hard paper is written with a hard pen, and hard pens are much cheaper than brushes......

Qianlong's voice was louder again: "The ancestors have all defeated you, are you writing now like those Tang people, from left to right?" ”

Yongxi was not annoyed, but said: "Use a hard pen and hard paper, save money and effort, and write and read from left to right, which is also a lot faster." ”

He is actually purely kind, Qianlong's little pension is not a secret in the whole of Sapporo, and it is not easy to support Qianlong and her concubines who are also unemployed. He also heard that there was a concubine who was good at female popularity, because Qianlong was in financial distress, and used embroidery to exchange money to subsidize the family. But after Qianlong found out, Qianlong actually slapped her, and scolded her for losing the royal face and forcing her to commit suicide.

Of course, the ending is also very dramatic, the concubine in her thirties escaped from Qianlong's "palace" crying and went to the women's federation in the city. In the end, with the support of the Women's Federation, she actually filed for divorce in the local court at the Civil Affairs Bureau on the grounds of domestic violence, and was forced to enforce because of domestic violence. Half a month later, she married a Tang officer stationed here, and then got permission to leave Sapporo and live in Los Angeles. Qianlong was originally afraid of losing face, but in the end he lost a bigger face. This incident spread widely in Sapporo, and it was also an opportunity for the Manchu immigrants to dissipate their respect for the royal family.

Yongxi couldn't convince Qianlong, but Qianlong still spent a lot of money to buy Hui paper imported from Jiangnan. Carrying a large stack of emblem paper, Yongxi offered to wrap him in a tarpaulin, but Qianlong refused. He strode out of the supermarket, tiger-like, and seemed to have a lot of aura. Yongxi looked at his back and couldn't help but sigh.

Qianlong carried rice paper, and within a few steps of walking out of the supermarket, snowflakes the size of goose feathers slowly fell from the sky. Snowflakes fell on unprotected rice paper and became wet. (To be continued.) )
