Chapter 572: Hangzhou, Our Hangzhou
When the people of the Hantang Group were busy with all kinds of chores, they didn't care much about the feelings of the civilians in Taizhou City, and we didn't want your taxes, nor your sponsorship and donations, the materials we used were captured by ourselves, and they were transported from Taiwan, what should you do, what should you do, as long as you don't make trouble.
However, the civilians in Taizhou City can clearly see that since the security team of the Hantang Group came here, they have taken advantage of others.
The first is to pay for working for the Hantang Group, even if it is just moving bricks, even if it is a small job such as cleaning up garbage, you can earn a lot of food a day, if you work hard and go to the dock to work, you can almost feed the whole family.
Moreover, they don't even kill people! It's just that the rules are clearly stated and understood, and if it is violated, it will be punished......
Second, they did not collect materials from Taizhou City, but transported them from Taiwan to here. Seeing that on the Ling River, the sails are like clouds, and the sea ships are like weaving...... There are even windless self-propelled boats.
I don't know what the countless items that have been carried down from there, but I know that the price of food is too cheap.
The price of grain is falling every day, but you are not allowed to buy too much at a time, at most ten catties.
The price of salt is even more so, and I don't know what's going on, their salt is very salty, white, and fine.
The price of sugar is the same as before, not cheap.
They even sold whale meat, and they heard of the princes who ate its dead tartars, and they said that they had noses and eyes, and the arguments were complete.
Let's eat, the shredded meat is thicker, so stew it for a longer time, after all, it's meat!
Some of the big families in the city are now ready to move.
At the beginning, they were dazed by the rhythm of the Hantang Group, and the Hantang Group's approach made them a little incomprehensible.
Breaking a city and plundering it for only one day is a righteous army.
Back in 1646, the Tartars were peacefully taken over the city, and they still robbed it for three days!
The big families have made preparations in advance, and it will definitely not be possible to hide all the good things, and the thieves will not go empty, so they will retaliate; It is distressing that too many good things have been snatched away, which makes people feel distressed.
The best thing to do is to find something beautiful but worthless to put outside, but there must be some silver taels, and the more beautiful ones among the women must be hidden deeply.
In this way, after the Tartars were robbed, they were satisfied, and they stopped killing people, and they left.
That day, they were shocked to hear that the security team of the Hantang Group was coming early in the morning, and they killed the Tartars with a river of blood!
Outside, there was a constant noise, and it scared people to death!
They immediately closed the door, and hurriedly began to prepare, and then took some good things out, and quickly arranged them!
When the sound outside was quieter, and after hearing that the security team completely occupied the whole city, they opened the gate one after another, and arranged for the two rows of people to kneel in the courtyard, so as to show an attitude, you are the uncle, just grab it, I will wait! I hope there will be a time limit for the arson and robbery, and there will be no killing.
And then they're just waiting in the air.
Wait, wait, I heard that they were all living in the old barracks, and there were people in the streets shouting that there was a curfew, and no one was allowed to go out at night.
Then there was a group of people who walked by from time to time, but never entered someone's house.
At night, they borrowed the object that emitted a dazzling pillar of light, and they were still roaming around, and they had never entered anyone's house.
Many big families think that these soldiers are going to raise enough spirit to rob ah!
I've heard about the Hantang Group before, and they are also in business, and they are very fair.
However, that's how they haven't occupied the city yet, and many people who used to say that they were good, but if they really take power, they will turn their faces faster than taking off their pants.
Originally, they all came out to grab and take advantage, who not only thought about themselves, what they had done and said before, it was all means and ingenuity.
So, you can't look at what they did and said before, or they don't know how to die when they die.
Honesty and righteousness are all there for us, but they are always just means - depending on the situation.
Overnight they took out some more objects and put them at their mercy, these people were more powerful than the Tartars, and I was afraid that they would rob more.
As a result, there was nothing to do the next day, and the people who went out to inquire reported that they were hiring people to clean up the battlefield, and they were really paying for food!
They began to collude with each other, and during the day, no one cared about their walking.
Everyone feels that something is wrong, does this depend on how much filial piety I can show later, and then talk about it? This is too clever, how much can you rob in a robbery?
The biggest robberies are all sent to the door on their own initiative, and after they are delivered, they have to grit their teeth and say that they have not compensated, they have not compensated.
In the end, everyone checked a number and pooled the money, and the result was a total of 50,000 taels of silver, and the bottom line was 80,000 taels.
Who's going to talk about it?
Everyone set their eyes on Bao Yi, the head of the Bao family.
The head of the Taizhou Bao family was originally a branch of the Huizhou Bao family, which owns nearly 1,000 acres of salt fields here in Taizhou, and belongs to the local family.
Bao Yi, the head of the Bao family, sighed in his heart, he could only go by himself, these are hundreds of years old families, and he has only been here for a few decades, I am afraid that in their hearts, they still regard themselves as foreigners.
Bao Yi, the head of the Bao family, thought about it for a while and decided to go to the person surnamed Ma, seeing that the person surnamed Guo was dressed scary, and the person surnamed Ma seemed to be kind-hearted.
The manager next to the horse met him, and after listening inexplicably for a long time, he finally understood his intentions.
The manager began to think about it, this is a good opportunity.
He said, "Is this a voluntary donation of your own volition?" ”
Bao Yi peeked at the manager next to the horse and didn't show a little look, and he was overjoyed, 50,000 taels could be done, a great joy!
"Exactly, exactly!"
"Okay, you can find me those who donate, those who want to be involved, and those who talk count."
Manager Ma Pan is not rich in experience in opening online stores, he knows the pain of small online stores being squeezed by major operators, and if he doesn't unite these businessmen to form a fist, what will they do to compete with the Zheng family and the Pan family?
In short, a group of large households were inexplicably established under the mediation of the manager of Ma Pan.
Bao Yi was also inexplicably elected chairman and elected to the board of directors.
Manager Ma Pan did not have time to do their ideological work, nor did he have time for them to grow themselves, so he forcibly took the 50,000 taels of silver as their shares, and then bargained with the Hantang Group Red Star Industrial Company in every possible way, and used the money to buy boilers, low-pressure distillation equipment, drying and other equipment, and prepared to develop the processing industry on local specialties such as citrus and ginger.
Then each family has a bookkeeper to form a financial department, unified settlement, unified accounting......
With the help of the manager next to the horse, the operation of a qiē was relatively smooth.
The key is that those big families are also completely relieved, it turns out that they really didn't come to rob, they asked me to do something inexplicable.
They peeked at the manager next to the horse issuing orders one by one, and after they all did it, he actually smiled happily...... Okay, as long as you're happy.
After the big families were completely relieved, they began to take out their own private goods, and it turned out that each of them hid a large number of goods in the countryside and mountain villages......
When the manager next to the horse saw it, he was really convinced, these people are not stupid at all, they really know how to hide.
Taizhou's maritime trade progressed at a rate that changed every day, and it was about two months after the war that the merchant ships of the maritime merchants finally surpassed the sailing ships of the Han and Tang groups, and the market suddenly became active.
Manager Ma Pan and Stationmaster Guo Ziren are easily arranging the overall situation of the development of Taizhou, but they both subconsciously understand that it is the strong security team that ensures the implementation of their policies.
This is economic development under the bayonet, a forced progress, but it is just as effective.
Some people in the Hantang Group said that Manager Ma was cheating, but he did not deny it.
"There's no way, there's a war around me, and I don't have time to wait for them to develop slowly......"
These are the words of the manager next to the horse to answer everyone.
……………………………………………………………………………………
If the security brigade and the Tartars exchange combat plans, they will find that in the general direction, the two options are the same, one side is to attack on land, and the other side is to attack at sea.
It's just that the Tartars had to choose a sneak attack because of the small number of ships; The Haian Brigade is ready for a thunderous blow!
After getting the secret service team and accurate news, the Hai'an Brigade of the security team immediately went north as a team, and they wanted to make a beautiful beach landing and take Hangzhou City in one fell swoop!
This time, the Luan Brigade did not exert its full strength, and they still left a group of team members to guard Taiwan, but this time, the Haian Brigade fought hard and took out everything.
There must not be a slight slip-up!
Captain Sun Yu and his colleagues repeatedly deliberated on every step of the plan, repeatedly deducing, and they tried to make no mistake at all this time.
However, Hangzhou City is not Taizhou City, which is really heart-pounding when you think about it.
In that side of the world, the housing prices there are sky-high, except for Chairman Wu Dapeng, none of them dare to say that I want to buy a house by the West Lake.
But now, they are going to take the city.
Hangzhou City, the Southern Song Dynasty Shaoxing eight years (1138) set here, Hangzhou city wall thus a major expansion, at that time was divided into the inner city and the outer city.
The inner city, that is, the imperial city, is nine miles in radius, surrounds the Phoenix Mountain, starts from the Fengshan Gate in the north, reaches the Jianggan in the south, reaches Wansongling in the west, arrives at the tide gate in the east, in the imperial city, builds the palace, the hall, the building, the pavilion, and there are many palaces and imperial gardens.
The outer city crosses Wu Mountain in the south, intercepts the Wulin Gate in the north, connects the West Lake on the right, and leans on the Qiantang River on the left, which is magnificent. There are 13 gates, and there is a moat outside the city.
This is basically the current urban structure of Hangzhou.
During this period, Hangzhou's urban population has not been studied.
According to the Wanli period, the people of the Hantang Group "all the millions of steamed li in the city are admired to the rice of the Beishi River,...... 600,000 stone of rice must be stored for the grain of February", and it is estimated that the total amount of rice eaten by the residents of Hangzhou Fucheng at that time reached 3.6 million stone per year.
The per capita rice consumption of Jiangnan cities, men, women and children combined, and the annual rice per person is calculated as 2 stones, so it is estimated that the population of Hangzhou Fucheng should be more than one million in Wanli time.
Wanli's "Hangzhou Mansion Chronicles" also said: "The city (of Hangzhou) has a siege of forty miles, and there are millions of people. ”
Forty li is almost twenty kilometers, assuming that the city wall of Hangzhou is rectangular, 4 kilometers long on one side and 6 kilometers long on the other.
In the book "Historical Illustration of Hangzhou City and West Lake", there are maps of Hangzhou City and West Lake in the past dynasties, among which the map of Hangzhou Mansion in the Ming Dynasty can be clearly seen: Hangzhou City is basically a regular rectangle, and West Lake is outside Hangzhou.
The above estimate should still be appropriate, then the area surrounded by the city wall of Hangzhou is 24 square kilometers.
In fact, a large number of people had overflowed beyond the city walls.
For example, the area around the West Lake outside the city itself is the most prosperous and developed tourism service area in Hangzhou, plus the citizens outside the city of Hangzhou in other directions, although these people live outside the wall, they still belong to an inseparable part of the population of Hangzhou, a total of more than two million, which is a relatively conservative estimate.
It's a big city with a population of a million!
And the Haian Brigade had to devote all its energy to dealing with it!
Hangzhou, do you know we're thinking about you?
