86_86695 "What kind of life is industrialized life?" I'll give you the simplest example, when people think that as long as they have money, it is more convenient to live outside than at home. Then industrialized life is basically realized. ”

-- 1622, Wang Shuhui, "Industrialization is the Most Just Cause"

After two years of development, Songzi County has become more lively than Zhijiang County. Unlike Zhijiang County, where the center has been transferred from the county seat to Shangmeng Town and Fuxing City. Because Songzi County is built on the edge of the Songzi River, the waterway transportation is relatively convenient. Therefore, the Fuxing Society did not build a new city in other places, but directly renovated the original Songzi County.

Although a series of industrial enterprises built by the Fuxing Society in Songzi are not located in Songzi County. However, because the commercial institutions of the Fuxing Society and the commercial organizations of the Zhijiang Business Alliance were set up in the county seat, Songzi County, which was originally the same as a small inland county, became more and more prosperous.

Although the docks in Songzi County are "huge" (in Yang Shouye's opinion), they look more prosperous than the Hangzhou docks that Yang Shouye has seen. However, such a large dock is not as chaotic as the Hangzhou dock.

Yang Shouye made a brief observation and found that the entire dock had been divided into two parts. The pier, which is surrounded by a large number of wall barbed wire, has an entrance and an exit. Between the import and export, there is also a barbed wire fence separation.

The people who came in from the entrance were divided into two parts, and although they couldn't understand the meaning of the words in front of the two mouths, Yang Shouye still distinguished.

Of those two openings, one is set up for the worker. Because everyone is dressed similarly and has the same appearance characteristics, they can basically be distinguished at a glance. The other is specifically for merchants who come to buy goods. Because Yang Shouye saw that many of the vendors who took the boat with him entered through that opening.

Although I don't know if there is such a situation in the merchant's mouth. However, Yang Shouye suffered a not very happy encounter. He was interrogated for a long time by a man in a gray semi-long shirt and a large hat with a strange style sitting next to him. I also received a piece of cardboard called a temporary identity card.

Although I can't say that I am full of expectations, after all, I came out to work. However, Yang Shouye was still quite excited before getting off the ship. However, as soon as he got off the boat, he went through a cross-examination. This kind of encounter not only made Yang Shouye unhappy, but also made him very uneasy.

As a farmer in the guard, Yang Shouye did not have any decent military experience at all. However, he is still more sensitive to the temperament of a soldier. On the docks, you can see people wearing gray semi-long shirts, with a wide leather belt tied around their waists, and short swords (soldiers' bayonets) around their waists, walking in a line to maintain order on the docks.

Uniform clothing and full armament (in fact, only bayonets and revolvers) made Yang Shouye, a hundred farming households, suddenly feel that these people should be members of some kind of military organization.

However, firstly, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty did not wear such clothes (in fact, the guards did not have any decent military uniforms), and secondly, those who patrolled the streets should normally be the officials in the yamen, or they were also the inspectors of the inspection department. But according to Yang Shouye's experience, even in the city of Hangzhou, I have never seen a servant and patrol officer with a sword and a short gun patrolling the streets.

What's more, in the process of queuing, Yang Shouye found that there was no soldier who asked for bribes from those vendors. Instead, I saw a few soldiers who caught a thief from the crowd and tied him to a pole to "bask in the sun".

From Yang Shouye's experience, whether it is a soldier, a servant, or a patrolman, generally speaking, there are only two jobs for them.

One demanded bribes from the people, and the other used whips and clubs to crush the people. However, these two "serious deals" of the security personnel of the Ming Dynasty were not done by these soldiers. On the contrary, they are really catching thieves, explaining how to move to people who don't know how to enter the customs, etc. It's just so unusual.

It is a human instinct to be afraid of abnormal things. Therefore, Yang Shouye only saw this abnormality in a short period of time from getting off the ship to leaving the customs, and it was normal for him to feel uneasy in his heart.

Fortunately, at the exit, Yang Shouye's acquaintance was waiting for him.

Mao Ermao is not a nickname, but a normal person's name. The person with this tuba is the acquaintance who was waiting for Yang Shouye at the exit of the dock.

If it is said that because the victims of the disaster are ordinary people who have been affected by the disaster and become disaster victims, it cannot be regarded as a social class. Mao Ermao was the person with the lowest social status in the Ming Dynasty. He is the third son of a military family, and he is a serious 800 military amateur. A military family has only one quota for regular soldiers. If there are other boys in this military family, then they are amateurs.

The regular soldiers can still receive a little food and silver money every year to subsidize their families, and the rest of the army is even more miserable. They had no other source of income except for farming and working as serfs for the old men in the guardhouse.

Mao Ermao's luck was good, because there were suddenly more than 100 households in Hangzhou Weili. He was transferred from the original Baihu and became a regular soldier with Yang Shouye's grandfather.

originally thought that he had left the status of the amateur and became a regular soldier, and he would be able to receive military pay from now on. Unexpectedly, his new boss, Yang Shouye's grandfather, is an honest man who doesn't do anything. As a result, he was a regular soldier, and there was basically no big difference from the original days.

Fortunately, Yang Shouye's grandfather knew that he couldn't afford to support the soldiers under his command, so he basically ignored things like going out to work. It was at this time that Mao Ermao started to go out to fend for himself.

The Ming Dynasty was not a modern society. It's not easy to work to make a living. After more than ten years of mixing outside, Mao Ermao suffered a catastrophe at the age of forty and became an outcast, and then he was absorbed by the Revival Association.

Because I know some mason's skills. After training, Mao Ermao was assigned to the third team of the reconstruction association. became a glorious production and construction soldier engaged in construction work.

Not long ago, Mao Ermao wanted to go back to his hometown to bring his family over. It was at that time that he met Yang Shouye, who had been dismissed. Reciting a piece of incense from his grandfather. Mao Ermao was ready to introduce a job to Yang Shouye in distress.

The whole Songzi County has changed a lot now. If a modern person suddenly appeared, he would think that this was a small county town in China in the seventies and eighties of the twentieth century.

Songzi County, which originally had only one street, is now a total of three horizontal and vertical three and six streets, and a ring road. The roads are all paved with cement produced by the county's cement factory, and can accommodate four horse-drawn carriages in parallel with four lanes. The middle of the street is high and the sides are low, and on each side of the street there is a nullah made of brick and stone 1.5 meters square.

Next to the nullah, fast-growing trees introduced by Wang Shuhui from modern times with the space-time gate are planted. After more than two years, the trees have grown very large.

At present, there are no single-storey buildings in the entire county except for the county government. The houses on both sides of the street are all buildings with red brick and blue tiled roofs on the lowest two floors. Some people will think that in an ancient county town, how can there be so many bricks and tiles to repair buildings. He did not know that the Fuxing Society had established a Songzi brick and tile factory in Songzi County, with a total number of 4,000 people, and using a large number of steam machinery and modern technology.

Of course, except for one street that is currently more prosperous, with a large number of commercial institutions and management agencies stationed, that is, the two streets in the dockland area are more lively. It was daytime worktime, and the workers' quarters on the other streets were mostly quiet except for the occasional cheerful shouting of children at the end of the school day.

Mao Ermao led Yang Shouye to the most prosperous first street in Songzi County.

Although the houses on both sides of this street are also two- or three-story red brick and blue tile buildings, they are very lively. The Songzi Party Committee of the Fuxing Society, the Songzi County Office of the Fuxing Society, the Songzi Headquarters of the Fuxing Army, the Headquarters of the Songzi Production and Construction Corps of the Fuxing Society, the Songzi Public Security Bureau of the Fuxing Society, and the Songzi Trade Office of the Fuxing Society are all on this street.

These institutions may not be of much relevance to ordinary people. However, some other institutions on this street are closely related to the lives of ordinary people. It is also the location of a series of livelihood departments such as the Fuxing Society Songzi Bank, the Fuxing Society Songzi Supply and Marketing Office, the Fuxing Society Songzi Trading Company, and the Fuxing Society Grain Bureau.

After the completion of the land reform in the Zhijiang Business League and Songzi County, the few remaining landlords and gentry who knew more about proportions were absorbed and integrated by the Zhijiang Business League, and some of the transactions of the Songzi Business League were also here.

Mao Ermao has been working in Zhijiang County for more than a year, and has been working in Songzi County for two years. He was very familiar with life under the Renaissance Society. However, Yang Shouye is a rookie who has come to the realm of the Revival Society for the first time. On the one hand, it is out of a kind of show-off psychology, and on the other hand, it is also sincerely hoped that Yang Shouye can quickly integrate into the life of Songzi County. Therefore, Mao Ermao took on the work of Yang Shouye's guide and commentator.

Their first stop was a large canteen.

Songzi Canteen is an affiliated company of the Renaissance Association. Because the Fuxing Society itself controls the entire Zhijiang and Songzi, as well as a large amount of land in part of the Jingzhou Prefecture area (the land of Jingzhou Wei has been absorbed by the Fuxing Society), more than 10 large farms, and more than 20 breeding farms. The annual production of grain, chickens, ducks, fish, and eggs by the agricultural department of the Revival Society is no longer for the consumption of the growing Renaissance Society. (Farmland infrastructure, high-yield crops, mechanized production, scientific planting and breeding, primary fertilizer and feed.) Under these conditions, the agricultural units under the review association and the districts controlled by the revival association have had bumper grain harvests year after year. ）

Because they have a large amount of raw materials in their hands, and at the same time, they are constantly bringing in the old and weak women and children who are being brought in by the Reconstruction Society. A large number of light industrial enterprises of all kinds were opened. In the three years between 1622 and 1624, the Revival opened three new textile factories, six canneries, and three cigarette factories. However, even so, not only are the products of the Revival Society still in short supply in the market, but also the employment of women and the elderly is still not well solved.

After all, heavy industry enterprises have rigid requirements for workers' physical qualities
