Chapter 176: The World Gathers in Jiaozhou
In the places that have been occupied, the Southern Expeditionary Army is simply armed to the teeth. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Why did Zhao Yun insist on letting the wounded soldiers be the most basic officials? Quite simply, even if they were unqualified officials, they were the staunchest supporters of the nascent regime.
These wounded soldiers, including almost all the families of the soldiers of the Southern Expeditionary Army, want to live and work in peace and contentment on this land in the future.
There is no oppression here, and whoever dares to bully the soldiers of the Southern Expeditionary Army or their families is looking for death.
Don't say anything like leaving your homeland, what do farmers want? It is nothing more than land and grain, and land is naturally in the first place, where can food come from without land?
There is uncultivated land in Jiaozhou, and the government collects very little tax, and will lend you money without much interest.
If someone else says it, then the people only think you are lying. But when my son and husband said it, it felt completely different. They are the pillars of the family, and after they go to Jiaozhou, they send the money home through the post station every month.
Military service is an eternal pain in the hearts of the common people, and now the peasants have discovered that they can also earn money to support their families by serving as a soldier. Moreover, those families who have lost their loved ones in the family will also go to Jiaozhou to get a share of the land, and the tax will be halved.
Even if you buy a karma, the landlord is unwilling to let it go? Well, a powerful local businessman will teach you how to be a man every minute, and beat you up and can't take care of yourself. Isn't there still an official government? When did the people of the government and the businessmen become like a family?
I'm sorry, although the people in the government don't come forward now, the subordinates of the family have already gone to Jiaozhou, where there are mountains of gold and silver, just waiting to move home. Friends of the dead Dao do not die of the poor Dao, whoever dares to offend the Southern Expeditionary Army is our enemy.
It can be said that any stranger, in addition to having a record with the government, is the object of close surveillance in the countryside.
Everyone who appears must show the official directions, otherwise they will be twisted to the pavilion chief by the people in the pavilion.
Hui Cheng looks like he has a bookish atmosphere, not so much a Taishou as a gentleman who reads poetry and books.
He wandered around, and naturally he would not be twisted by others. However, it was still the police who knocked on the side and asked for his information, which reached the county level as quickly as possible.
The county lieutenant can exercise his powers, and the person who is in Jiaozhou, even if he is in Jiaozhou, and Huicheng is a county guard, and at present, Jiaozhi has not been placed under the command of the Southern Expeditionary Army, so he quickly reported to the higher level.
He spent five days in Hepu County, then turned north to Alin. There are passenger boats down the water, there are many merchants who come and go, although he is full of books, the businessmen have no intention of making friends, everyone comes to Jiaozhou to make money.
However, people ignore themselves, but Huicheng will not be idle.
The bow and stern of the ship are separated by a door in the middle. The bow of the boat is where the rich people sit, and the stern part is for ordinary individual passengers.
Although Huicheng is not a corrupt official, he is not short of money, so he naturally chose the bow of the boat.
The chamber was very small, and even in broad daylight, it looked very dark.
There are four bunks inside, each with just enough room for one person, and if you're a little fatter, you'll have to lie on your side. There are two bunks on the left and right, and the aisle in the middle can only be sideways.
When Megumi entered, the other three bunks were full, and his bunk was on the left-hand side of the inside. The man on the right didn't know if he was asleep or asleep, but he didn't see any movement when he went in.
"The transition to the same boat was repaired for 500 years," Hui Cheng entered, the people in the two bunks in front of him were talking, and he greeted with a fist: "It seems that we have been on the boat together for a few days, and our fate is not shallow." ”
The two of them leaned on the pillow with the quilt, and hurriedly got up and hugged their fists: "Fortunately, I will be lucky." ”
After a good rest in Alin last night, Hui Cheng simply went to the people on the ship and asked for a small bench to sit at the door, and the cabin looked even darker. But there was no way, he really couldn't stand the crampedness inside, and he had never been on such a boat in his life.
When you can't stand the sleepiness, you can probably fall asleep on the bunk.
There is one person per cabin on the ship, but the asking price is too high, it costs ten gold, and the key is that someone has already booked it.
"Where is the gentleman from?" The person on the left couldn't see clearly, but he felt that Kong Wu was powerful.
Such a person should be the five big and three rough and reckless personalities, and they are unexpectedly very talkative, forming a strong contrast.
"A certain from the dragon weaving," Hui Cheng didn't expect someone else to speak first: "You are all from other places to Jiaozhou, right, come all the way here, can you make money?" ”
"Dragon weaving?!" The body of the person on the right hand is a little thin, and at the moment the upper body is wearing a placket without buttoning the cloth button, revealing the strong tendon meat, which belongs to the type that looks thin and has flesh.
He patted his head: "Look at my memory, isn't that a cross-toe?" What kind of business do you have to do over there? ”
In fact, it is also redundant for Hui Cheng to ask, why do you come here without making money? Businessmen are all over the world, and although the government strictly controls the household registration of peasants, they can be accommodating by paying money.
But everyone will definitely not go blindly. The success of the Zhao family made the businessmen overjoyed. They are the most solid supporters of the Zhao family, and the business opportunities here in Jiaozhou have spread quite quickly.
Everyone is traveling from south to north, and they are not introverts, so they talk quickly.
Even the people in Huicheng's shop occasionally said a few words, his surname is Zhang, the eldest in the family, and he is from Waihuang. When I first arrived in Jiaozhou, some people were not accustomed to the water and soil, and there was no disease, but people were not spiritual.
On the left hand side of the door is Zhu Saburo, whose home is in Guyang. Gu Liulang on the right hand is from Hanoi.
The so-called peers are enemies, and the key is to see if they are in the same place. The four of them are from Tiannan and Haibei, and they do different industries, so they can communicate with each other, and they began to put their hearts in their hearts as they spoke.
"I said Mr. Hui," Hui Cheng saw that the scholar was knowledgeable, and Zhu Saburo said: "I have seen a lot of scholars, but I have never seen someone like you, who is not familiar with us old men." ”
The Hui family itself is not a very big family, and it is not looked down upon in the eyes of the Central Plains, and Huicheng has never taken his identity as a scholar seriously, and now he is squeezed out to serve in Jiaozhi even more freely.
"That is, Mr. is the real talent, just like Zhao Dashuai, he can be literate and martial!" Gu Liulang's Chinese is relatively standard, after all, Hanoi and Luoyang are next to each other: "Sir, wait a while, the handsome man will recover Jiaozhi, and we will come to the door when the time comes." ”
"Yes, yes!" Zhu Saburo interfaced: "The officials over there are simply grandsons, can't you just let the marshal take them in?" If you look at the life of the peasants here, it is better than that of Peiguo. ”
Isn't this pointing at the monk and scolding the bald man? Rao is Hui Cheng's eloquence is good, and it is not easy to answer.
The purchasing intentions of the three of them are roughly the same, and the most profitable things in Jiaozhou at present are cane sugar and canned food. Zhang Dalang also has to purchase a batch of coarse salt from here to test the water.
As for shipping, don't worry at all. Completely by sea, General Yokokai's fleet shuttled through the sea every day. Then turn to the water and land routes, the three of them are all first-time here, and they are still quite familiar with everything.
Of course, the average small businessman does not have this strength at all, although the three of them have a solid family background, they also have to hold a group with the businessmen in the same township, everyone is looking around, if there is anything else to take back and sell.
They said a word, Zhang Dalang turned his back to the three of them, he couldn't see his face clearly, it may be caused by physical discomfort, and he was slightly lacking in qi when he spoke, and he was a little hoarse.
Most of the time, Gu Liulang and Zhu Saburo were talking, and occasionally Zhang Dalang interjected, and Hui Cheng was a layman when it came to business, and he could only be a loyal listener.
"Haven't you seen the real one?" He interjected suddenly.
"Really?!" Zhu Saburo smiled and said: "If you want to say that Maocai knows the world without going out, Mr. Hui, you don't understand." ”
"That's it," Gu Liulang quipped, "Those people are all uncles, and their hair is thicker than our arms, so they don't need to go out at all, they wait on Zhennan Island, and some local merchants come to the door." ”
"There are also merchants in the local area?" Huicheng was very surprised, thinking that the people in Jiaozhou were just waiting for others to come to buy things.
"Naturally!" Zhu Saburo sighed: "We arrived late, and there have already been people from Jingzhou and Zhending who have opened workshops here." But to be honest, there are few real Jiaozhou people. ”
"Who says no?" Zhang Dalang has a wide range of roads, don't look at him as the first time to come: "Isn't the Song family a local?" ”
was robbed by him, and the two fell into a temporary silence.
In less than a moment, Zhu Saburo spoke again: "That kind of canned food, the previous jar is not good, I heard that Zhulu has reopened the kiln, and I will bring some back to see the market in a few days." ”
"Aren't you afraid of being useless?" Hearing what they said, Hui Cheng was a little puzzled.
"It's scary!" Even Zhang Dalang was not satisfied: "Zhao Dashuai's gold signboard, if someone takes some defective products, someone will clean them up." ”
Hui Cheng smiled bitterly, he couldn't imagine that outsiders knew Zhao Yun better than him, a native of Jiaozhou.
It was stuffy in the cabin, and everyone simply came to the aisle, and the little guys were sharp-eyed and sent three small benches.
Their complexion and accent looked like locals, and they were diligent, and the merchants from time to time gave a few rewards that were no worse than their income.
Only Zhang Dalang sat uncomfortably, unexpectedly that he turned out to be a short and fat man.
Zhu Saburo and Korokuro leaned against the side of the boat with their clothes open.
The river breeze blows, and it is indescribably pleasant. (To be continued.) )
