Chapter Twenty-Six: A Sensation in the City (Part II) (Third Watch)
Yang Hao still underestimated how attractive a job with a high income, can learn crafts, and can read and write is so great to people in this era!
As mentioned above, there are many mountains and few places here, and there is no way to make a living, and the common people are poor and can't eat. At this time, it is not the season of summer and autumn cultivation and harvest, and almost all of them are idle, so as soon as it spreads, people from several surrounding towns such as Shilipu, Nanhuji and even Shen Tuandian began to move.
The key is that the next day, Yang Hao took Liu Dafu to make a big fuss, Cai Qu and other three parties started together, and the good things carried back were bright, and tens of thousands of people heard the news in the county towns along the two avenues of north, south, east and west.
So, in the spirit of having dates and no dates, countless people who came to see the excitement almost crowded the bottom of the mountain, when they saw with their own eyes the people in Nanhu who had been dry all morning, they were really eating white flour steamed buns, drinking broth, and green vegetables, and the most terrible thing was that they actually sent a fruit by themselves!
At this moment, the onlookers can no longer be calm!
In February of the lunar calendar, the spring breeze is warm, and a few shriveled apples can be found in the north. But what appeared in front of them were big red apples that looked like freshly plucked, bananas that were longer than corn cobs, oranges the size of fists, grapefruit the size of heads, watermelons the size of pillows, grapes the size of longan; I've only seen peach in paintings, weird-looking pineapples, and even cantaloupe ...... I've never seen before.
It's so dazzling! As soon as the wind blows, the aroma of fresh fruit goes straight to the stomach and intestines, and the ** people are flowing wildly!
If it weren't for Liu Dafu and the other eight guys, dressed in black, armed with bright steel knives and spears, Li Yingjiu with more than a dozen apprentices and more than 20 guys who could fight to help maintain order, a robbery would be almost inevitable!
Everything has to be compared, the people of Nanhu Ji originally felt that these days were like a dream, with the attention of outsiders, one by one, their chests were as if they were something, and the guys in their hands were as light as a feather, and they danced like tigers!
The old man who was in control of the overall situation above saw it, and immediately decided to let Guan Zhongkuan start to register and recruit workers on the spot, and when he had a thought, those people didn't dare to make a fuss.
As a result, the pressure on Guan Tongsheng's body suddenly doubled! He dared to take on this errand, mainly because he was familiar with Nanhuji and the people around him, who could do it and who couldn't, and the door was clear. But now the farthest people can run from thirty miles away, no one has heard of it, and there is no guarantee of character, so they don't dare to let it go!
Fortunately, the electric horn left by Yang Hao for him recorded the sound, put it aside and repeatedly played the recruitment requirements to a group of illiterate people, and if the conditions were not met, he immediately pulled it away for others, which seemed to be suitable, and lined up under the intimidation of Liu Dafu and them, and honestly registered one by one, and was busy for a full day!
Among these people, one hundred places have been filled, and the rest of the information is recorded for further verification.
At the end, Guan Zhongkuan wiped his forehead: "Young Master Yang!" Those who come today are only afraid of more! I'm too busy to do it alone, can you find a few more helpers? ”
Yang Hao heard his words and said with a smile: "Do you have the right person to introduce?" ”
Guan Zhongkuan scratched his head in shame: "Yes! Yes! In the townships, there are always some children like me who have repeatedly failed the exam, and their lives are not very rich, and if you can give me something to do, they will definitely agree. ”
Yang Hao understood. In these years, reading is a very expensive thing, often hard for more than ten years or even decades, if you can't even lift people, you can toss your family wealth into a poor egg. And they are not diligent in their limbs, and they have flexible brains, and they can still be a school teacher, earning seventy or eighty taels a year to barely support their families. Most of them are poor, writing letters to people, copying books and other odd jobs, not enough to eat and starve to death, and it is difficult to be looked down upon, that is called a miserable!
Although they don't have an organization of the "Falling Alliance" these days, they are all scholars, and they can't climb the ladder, and they are not willing to put them on a level with ordinary civilians.
Guan Tongsheng's own work has not been implemented, but he first thinks about finding jobs for other people, but this heart is not bad, but I don't know if this guy has ever thought about it, in case those people squeeze out his work, where will he cry!
Yang Hao was magnificent, and with a wave of his hand, he agreed: "You just go and inform a friend who has read the book." We have to run a lot of literacy classes, and we need a lot of literate manpower, as long as he is not too pedantic and willing to do things according to the company's articles of association, his income will definitely be better than that of a school teacher! In the future, if you can be promoted to a management position, it will be easier than the average landlord! ”
Guan Tongsheng perked up, hugged his fists and thanked him: "I thank Young Master Yang for them!" Rest assured, the people who come here will not be the kind of stubborn people! ”
After asking for permission, this guy took out a large stack of envelopes from his bag with his backhand, turned around and ran to find Li Yingjiu, begging him to send out his familiar apprentices separately, I believe that it will not be until noon, and they can receive it.
Li Yingjiu strode over and laughed heartily: "Young owner!" Yesterday, it was an eye-opener for the real teaching! I can't figure out the big deal you have! I didn't say it, my apprentice partners all rely on you to enjoy the food! ”
This is remarkable, Yang Hao also knows that such a luxurious employment in these years cannot be compared to the emperor's errand, Li Yingjiu must have thought of going somewhere else. However, both sides do not care about the risks, but are easy to talk about.
Yang Hao raised his eyebrows and smiled, walked side by side with him to the highest part of the construction site, overlooked the people who had already begun to be busy, and stroked his hand: "My Yang family's business will be so big that even the old lady Cixi in the palace of the capital is jealous, and the world-famous Jin merchants may not be able to have more money than me!" In order to preserve this great inheritance, we are going to build a big school at the foot of this mountain. As far as the current plan is concerned, there are many colleges such as martial arts, engineering, agriculture, medicine, and business, which need countless teachers and thousands of students! In addition, it is necessary to build a vigilante guard that is strong enough to protect the entire industry and school! ”
Li Yingjiu can be a big brother and a famous party, of course his mind is not bad, he immediately heard his subtext, and nodded meaningfully: "Presumably, the scale and strength of the escort team must be stronger than the top ten dart games in the world, so that they can see the family business!" ”
The corners of Yang Hao's mouth curled up to reveal a trace of disdain: "In today's world, firearms are kings, and those martial arts masters who are attached to high-ranking officials and nobles, no matter how big their fists are, they can't stop hundreds of foreign guns from firing at once!" Dazhuang Ke must know that the current Qing court is in dispute with Japan, the great powers are sowing discord, and a big war is inevitable! It can be said that from now on, the world will be in chaos, to the point that you can't imagine! ”
"Could it be that it is even more chaotic than the crossing of the Twist Army twenty years ago?"
Twenty years ago, the Twist Army Lai Wenguang Department moved to Juzhou, near Rizhao, Seng Lingqin led the troops to chase and intercept, several major battles in a row, Li Yingjiu was in his youth at that time, and the surrounding villages and towns formed a village to protect themselves, the kind of bandits are like combs, soldiers are like grates of the miserable scene, I saw it with my own eyes.
Yang Hao sighed: "Not comparable. When the time came, the Qing court collapsed, the warlords everywhere raised their banners and stood on their own, bandits swarmed, the armies of the great powers ran rampant everywhere, the great China was torn apart, and the war lasted for decades. The army rushes back and forth, and every qiē will turn into powder! Think about it, for thousands of years, all dynasties and dynasties, when they reached the end of the road, which time was not the life and soul were devastated, and the bones were thousands of miles away? ”
Li Yingjiu listened to the old storytelling, and when he thought of that kind of apocalyptic scene, his face couldn't help but change greatly, and he shivered!
Yang Hao added another heavy weight: "In the past, it was just Hulu going south, or warlords fighting. Today, on our doorstep, there are more than a dozen of the most powerful countries in the world! You probably don't know how brutal they are, I'll give you an example. Two hundred years ago, there were more than 30 million yellow-skinned and black-eyed natives like us, named Indians. But since the English, French, and Dutch people in Europe who could not survive, to this day, there are only two or three hundred thousand Indians left, and they are kept in captivity like animals in the most barren mountains and rivers in the west! Now, the Western powers are a hundred times more powerful than the armor, if they take advantage of the defeat of the Qing court and attack with all their might, what will happen to us people? ”
Li Yingjiu's face was stiff and speechless for a long time.
If he is a foolish and chaotic person, or a reckless man with no ambitions, he will naturally not listen. But he still has some knowledge, he travels south and north on weekdays, and he has also seen the rampant faces of many foreign priests, and he knows that these people are holding scriptures and books and mouths full of firewood, which are not good things!
He has also seen the big ships of the Beiyang Army, in his opinion, the cannon barrels thicker than people don't know how powerful, but listening to Yang Hao's meaning, it is not worth mentioning at all--- this foreigner, no wonder he can suppress the Qing Kingdom and turn over, it turns out that the class is strong and ferocious!
Rizhao County is on the seaside, and the big ships can come at any time, without shelter, and the cannon is bombarded, and no amount of flesh and blood is enough. Could it be that there is no way to live in this world today?
After being silent for a long time, Li Ying Jiuhuo's round eyes stared at Yang Hao with burning eyes and asked, "Presumably, the Yang family also had a bad life in the Mirican Country, so they want to come back to rebuild the foundation, right?" ”
Yang Hao nodded calmly: "Not bad!" The people of the United States are now vigorously vilifying and excluding the Chinese and robbing us of our property and jobs. They look at the Chinese like a flock of sheep, every time the hair grows, they have to cut it off, and they get it for nothing. We don't want to be angry with that, and when we come back here, we just want to make something, and one day, there will be revenge, tooth for tooth, blood for blood! ”
Li Yingjiu sneered: "You said it so clearly, aren't you afraid to scare me away and go back to report to the official?" ”
