387. The peasant association is in action

Unlike most people in this era, the people of Jiuhe Road, who seem to be peaceful and fairy, love to do subversive work the most. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In Liuqiu, in Japan, he not only discussed the theory with Zhou Quan, but also the practice brought by his own operation, so his understanding of the current social contradictions is much deeper than that of people of this era. Therefore, after he came to Xiaohekou Village, he immediately grasped the key, and in just over a month, he succeeded in inciting the hostility of the poor tenant farmers to the big families.

For the time being, it is still hostility, not hatred, but as long as there is an introduction, this hostility will develop into hatred.

According to the idea of the Jiuhe people, when this hostility develops into hatred, it can be proposed that "I am sick with the inequality between the rich and the poor, and now it is equal to you", but in Zhou Quan's view, the time for the agrarian revolution is not ripe, and it is too intense, and it does not do him much benefit himself, so he prevents the Jiuhe Daoren from immediately launching the agrarian revolution, and only allows him to launch a peasant movement, and the word peasant association is proposed by Zhou Quan.

The people of Jiuhe River were glad to hear this, at least on the surface. For the Taoists, mobilizing peasant associations was originally their old business, and at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Wudou Rice Sect was the experimental product of the Taoists. Coupled with Zhou Quan's allocation to him, a peasant movement began to brew at the mouth of the small river.

This is exactly what Zhou Quan had in mind.

Those local conservative diehards, since they want to challenge the wheel of history, then Zhou Quan doesn't mind pushing them and letting them be crushed under the rolling wheel of history!

Didn't they just incite fools and fools to make trouble, and try to obstruct the railways and industrialization?

Therefore, along the planned Beijing-Xu Railway, there are more than 20 working groups like Jiuhe Daoren, who are either pretending to be Taoist priests or monks, or traveling Langzhong, or scholars studying or opening up trade routes...... In short, each has the right identity, but they are doing the same thing.

Incite, incite, incite madly!

In these places, the same thing happened, and then the peasant association was born, when the peasant association was first born, it was very immature and weak, but as long as it was a few struggles, whether it succeeded or failed, they would grow rapidly, and they would soon expand outward, string together, and trigger the ambitions of some originally honest people, until it grew into a giant beast, and either devoured the object of its hatred, or was suppressed and slaughtered.

After the Jiuhe people fanned the flames, they took the single family to the next place, although it was far from Kaocheng County, but it was not far away, it was a neighboring county. And the people who stayed pondered and pondered, really went to visit relatives and friends, connected together, and found a poor scholar who failed to go to school, and gave everyone as the master and mastermind, just more than a month later, this Kaocheng peasant association turned out to be very popular, and more than 1,000 poor households joined.

They only think that these ten hangs of money are a great fortune, if they are made into biscuit food, enough to eat for a long time, but they don't know how good it is at home, and it is difficult to go out. Fortunately, they remembered the instructions of the Jiuhe people and found the boat of the East China Sea Chamber of Commerce by the canal. The Donghai Chamber of Commerce was only worried that there was not enough manpower, and it was never too many, and if they brought back strong labor from outside like this, the shipowners on the ship could still receive rewards, so they really brought them to Xuzhou.

Cai Feng is one of these three.

"This ...... Why does this Xuzhou smell so everywhere? As soon as he arrived in Xuzhou, Cai Feng sneezed hard and asked strangely.

"What taste...... Oh, oh, you are outsiders, naturally you don't know, it's the smell of steel and flame...... This is not what I said, it was said by the little gentlemen in the night school, why Xuzhou can be rich so much, relying on the smell of steel and flame, when you first come, you may be a little unaccustomed, but after a long time, you will like it! ”

The owner of the ship who brought them waved his hand proudly, pointed to the towering chimney, and looked like pointing to the country. Cai Feng is a smart person, so he naturally knows that he can't hit the other party on this issue, after all, they have relied on each other all the way to get here.

After complimenting the other party a few words, Cai Feng tried to ask: "We want to seek a plan for our lives here, I don't know where to go?" ”

"You can rest assured about this, what kind of livelihood Xuzhou asks for, it is nothing more than to send it to the construction team as a laborer, you really want to have a job, you still have to enter the factory! My ship is going to Diqiu, you follow my ship to Diqiu, when you get there, you will know that Xuzhou is nothing! ”

"If this is the case, there is a better boundary than Xuzhou? That Diqiu, isn't it also the seat of a state capital? ”

"No, no, no, Di Qiu was originally the Li State Prison, and the things here in Xuzhou came from there, in the early years, when the old lady knew the Li State Prison, Di Qiu really changed three times a day, as long as he didn't return for a month, he couldn't find where he lived! It's a pity that the old lady went to Yingtianfu last year, and now Diqiu's changes are not so fast. ”

There is naturally an element of boasting in what the owner of the ship said, but it is also the real opinion of the people at the bottom of the world about the changes in Dichu. Of course, they don't know that as a heavy industrial city, Diqiu has developed to a certain extent, and there will inevitably be bottlenecks, and even if it weren't for the emergence of the railway, the steel industry that Diqiu relied on as the pillar would shrink to a certain extent, which did not change because Zhou Fu knew whether he knew the benefits of the national prison.

The owner's boat really didn't stop in Xuzhou, but just let the tax collector get on the boat and go around, stuffed a few pennies of hard-earned money, and the tax collector stamped a stamp on a piece of paper that the owner took out, and the ship set off again.

"These corrupt officials!" Seeing this, when the tax collector got off the ship, he said indignantly.

"Haha, this is your misunderstanding, the payment is the river tax, every time my boat passes, I have to pay 12 cents, the money does not fall into their pockets, I have to hand over the river, only in this way, can I have the money to dredge the river every year. In our Xuzhou words, whoever benefits, who pays! ”

Cai Feng was stunned for a moment, this boss is a ship, and he only pays twelve cents after passing the customs once?

Even a poor man like him, after all these years of travel, also knew that twelve cents was nothing, especially for the owner of this cargo ship, twelve cents was not worth one-ten-thousandth of his profit.

"Don't take it anywhere else?"

"It's really indiscriminate elsewhere, but when I see the ship of our East China Sea Chamber of Commerce, I don't dare to collect too much, only in our Xuzhou, only collect it once, and twelve cents can travel in our Xuzhou."

The shipowner is not from Xuzhou, they are all "we Xuzhou", "we Xuzhou" said, there is irrepressible pride in the words, Cai Feng and others suddenly envy his pride.

I don't know when I can be so upright and say, "We are Xiaohekouzhuang".

Just thinking about it, I suddenly heard the sound of gongs on the waterway, and then looked over there, and saw several big ships, colorful flags, waving the signs of "quiet" and "avoidance", and the banner of "King Kang of the Great Song Dynasty" chased after them from behind.

Cai Feng was illiterate, but at a glance he knew that it was an official ship, so he asked curiously: "Could it be that this ship is the official ship of the old man?" ”

"No, it's the ship of the Nine Kings...... Oh, you may not know who the Nine Kings are, that is, the ninth son of today's son, King Kang, who is Zhao Gou...... I've seen it with my own eyes, huh, did you see the bow of the boat, the young man on the bow of the boat is King Kang, hey, Marquis Zhou is also there! ”

The shipowner originally pointed to Zhao Gou on the bow of the boat, but when he found Zhou Quan coming out of the cabin, his tone suddenly doubled, and then straightened up, beating non-stop, and waving his hands.

Zhou Quan was on Zhao Gou's official boat, and when he heard the movement here, he turned his face to look. The shipowner felt that Zhou Quan had seen him, and his face was flushed with excitement, and he hurriedly saluted him.

He bowed a few times, then got up, saw that the boat had gone away, and said unsatisfied: "It's really good luck, good luck, I actually saw Marquis Zhou on this boat!" ”

"Which Marquis Zhou?" Cai Feng asked curiously.

You must know that when he saw the prince Zhao Gou, the shipowner still had a plain tone, as if he was talking about the son of the rich man next door, after seeing Zhou Quan, his whole person was a little out of shape, as if he had seen a real immortal.

"There is also a Marquis of Zhou, who is naturally the East China Sea Envoy and the East China Sea Marquis! You guys, too, are lucky, you can see him on the canal, tsk, this is the blessing that you have cultivated for several lifetimes, his old man is the living god of wealth, just a word, you can get rich and reach the country! ”

The shipowner began to talk about Zhou Quan's experience vividly, and there were few exaggerations, but Cai Feng and the others, who had little knowledge, were fascinated, and at this moment, they knew what a big thing this Donghai Marquis had done!

It is no wonder that the chief of Jiuhe said that only a person of his fortune and talent has the ability to preside over the construction of the Beijing-Xu Railway, and then use this to gather energy to raise wealth, and take the wealth of the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea to help the Jingshi, and at the same time benefit along the way.

"Mr. Shipowner, what do you think about the railway?" Cai Feng reacted most astutely, he gave his companions a look, and then asked.

"Railroad? Originally, I thought that it would not be good for people like me, and if people and goods took the railway, wouldn't we sail the boat to drink the northwest wind? However, Zhou Houye said that if the railway can be opened, it can also bring the canal more smoothly, and the people who seek a livelihood on the canal, even if they no longer rely on the river to eat, can also rely on the road to eat. I think he is very reasonable, I have seen the Xuzhou and Diqiu railway, as well as the Xuzhou to Haizhou railway, after the road is opened, the river transportation on both sides has not been affected, but there are more people, can rely on the railway to make a fortune, there are more mines, workshops and smelting yards along the road......"

The shipowner said a little confused, but they all thought that the railway was extremely helpful for the development along the road, and Cai Feng and others had also seen the situation in Xuzhou with their own eyes, and at this time they no longer had much resistance to the railway in their hearts.

After all, the chief of Jiuhe said it well, even if the railway breaks the feng shui of some people, what does it have to do with their poor and destitute people, no matter how miserable they are, how miserable can they be? (To be continued.) )
