Chapter 37: Those people have backers
Zhao Xiong was speechless and looked at the orderly handling team, in Zhao Xiong's opinion, such a big thing was actually given, and the big shopkeeper did it lightly!
It's incredible!
If you talk about loopholes, there are still some of them.
But the government system is slow and half a beat, to track it down, he estimates that it will take about half a year before people can come, and the daylily will be cold at that time, how can I afford to track it down!
At this moment, it was the beginning of the lights in Hanzhuang Town, and Zhao Xiong stayed in the T-shaped plank road of A, B, C, D for a quarter of an hour.
Looking at the laborers like water, they were pushing a wheelbarrow and rushing towards the Yicang in Hanzhuang Town.
Zhao Xiong suddenly asked: "Where did you find this group of porters, all of them are so hard-working?" ”
Wang Donghai finally got Zhao Xiong's praise in the past two years, and he said proudly: "I specially invited the canal flood soldiers, I told them that they will transport all the grain of these 52 ships into Yicang for 50 taels of silver.
The 108 flood soldiers were divided into 10 groups, and each group contracted 5 boats, and the average cost of carrying one or two silver per boat was down.
But Mr. Zhang told us that we Zhao Ji would pack his soldiers three times a day, and there would be a meal at night with wine and meat, master, didn't you see, they worked hard before the supper time! ”
This is the canal flood soldier invited by Wang Donghai for a sum of money, Zhao Xiong nodded with satisfaction, "Take people's money and work for others to eliminate disasters", this is what he said.
50 silver and 52 ships, an average of 500 stone of grain per ship, one stone of the Dakang Dynasty is equal to 130 catties now.
That is, now there are more than 500 bags of grain per ship.
One tael of silver is not enough for the transportation fee, and it is estimated that these flood soldiers will not be able to get a few copper coins a day!
Zhao Xiong looked at the earth-stone dam five or six hundred meters west of the wharf, and saw a row of fires, which was Hanzhuang Town, where the big and small yamen were located.
Hanzhuang Flood Control Yamen is also among them.
The yamen of the Dakang Dynasty must face north, sitting in the south and facing north, indicating loyalty to the imperial court.
Zhao Xiong remembered that the flood control yamen was an independent compound, which was a single-entry, three-bay wooden two-story building, with a cloister-like layout and a dougong shape with a bit of Hui architectural characteristics.
It is also separated by a wall from the old Zhao Tong's gate official yamen, which is an old neighbor.
The rank ratio of Zhang Bo, the boss of the flood control yamen, is positive seven grades, second to the thousand commanders (garrison) who commanded thousands of soldiers in the army, and there are about 440 soldiers under his command.
Normally, there are more than 440 soldiers on the roster of the flood control yamen, but in fact, there are only 230 old, weak and disabled soldiers in Zhang Bo's yamen, and the rest of the places have long been paid by him.
Although Zhang Bo of the Flood Control Yamen is only the general manager, the level of a group of low-level bureaucrats in Hanzhuang is not low, but it is useless, and the military attache cannot speak.
Zhao Xiong is a petty official who is not in the stream, but in the civil and official system, he doesn't need to pay attention to Zhang Bo, the Hanzhuang flood control yamen, when doing things.
Zhang Bo's dignified seven-grade flood control military attache is indeed aggrieved, and without oil and water, he can only live on empty salaries.
What's more, his soldiers have been almost like begging for food over the years, eating without drinking, drinking without wearing.
The big shopkeeper put the idea on the canal flood soldiers, and in the past six months, in the name of Zhao Xiong's appearance as an official, he often enveloped several general flags led by the canal flood soldiers.
I still find some work for the canal flood soldiers, and even now they are doing it in full swing.
It is clear that following Zhao Xiongba's popular food and spicy drinks make money.
On the trestle, under the bright lights, looking at those canal flood soldiers, the two or two black-faced steamed buns in their mouths, their naked upper bodies, sweating profusely, carried by their shoulders.
To the wheelbarrow, to load the grain, and then to the Yicang, everything was in order.
Zhao Xiong slowly looked bored and raised his head to look, the weather was getting dark very quickly at the end of October.
He couldn't help but look at the place where he got off the boat, the little beggar who was basking in the afterglow was gone, probably going to the gate official yamen to drink porridge.
Zhao Xiong stretched out the sleeve of his left hand to look at the Seagull brand mechanical watch on his wrist, it was already 6:35 in the evening, thinking back that since he came to this inexplicable era, he actually quickly integrated into this era.
Everything that happened to him will always come naturally, think about it, Zhouzhuang Dream Butterfly, it's really wonderful......
Zhao Xiong, who came to his senses, ordered Liu Sheng, the leader of the family, to take the family members to carefully guard the road of the plank road Yicang, and then walked towards his yamen.
Overlooking in the sky, Fuzi Wharf occupies more than half of the area of Hanzhuang Town, which is not a territory, this is a small country.
In this country, there are Hanzhuang Yongping, Yicang Liangcang, Hanzhuang Gate River, Flood Control Yamen, Inspection Jingcheng, Banknote Tariff Factory, and so on, and so on, the yamen are lined up on the two dams of the canal.
In the innermost circle of the Fuzi Caoyun Wharf, there are brokers, car households, and those who carry large ones, those who pull fibers, those who sew poor, and those who sweep the streets, which belong to the people who eat grain directly.
There are also outside the Fuzi Wharf, the merchant hall, the teahouse restaurant, the flower boat courtyard, the place where the show is performing, the place where the money is gambling, the one who plays with the root of the arm, and the one who plays with three hands.
It can be said that there are five elements and eight works, three religions and nine streams, these people are all eating and living.
But each has its own way of eating, and each has its own way of living.
No matter how you eat and live, you have to gain a foothold in this Cao Yun and grab a territory.
The Hanzhuang Gate has been open for decades, and so far, the territory on Caoyun has been occupied tightly and full.
There is a king on every hill, and there is a hegemony on every territory.
There is a dragon and a crouching tiger hidden in every corner, intertwined and related, this is really a strict barrier that is difficult to insert a needle into and difficult to wet with water.
No matter who it is, even if it is a small gong trick, if you want to occupy a large area on the Caoyun Wharf, you have to go through a bloody fight.
Zhao Xiong thought about it carefully, and before the Chinese New Year, he led his subordinates to use brute force to subdue Fuzi Wharf, and become the king of Hanzhuang Town, the king of Hanzhuang, and no one would dare to provoke him in the short term.
Lao Zhao Tong used to be the overlord of the Hanzhuang Canal for a hundred or dozens of miles, and after his death, he left a great reputation.
But the king of kings may not have power, and the tyrant of hegemony may not have power.
It's a bit like Zhou Tianzi who is above the Seven Kingdoms.
But Zhao Xiong is a prototype in the officialdom of the Grand Canal.
On the Fuzi Wharf, there are many officials, and there are several that are bigger than him, and he can't use the officialdom to dominate the wharf.
If Zhao Xiong is just a puppet held hostage by the princes, if you want to establish power and authority, if you want to disrupt the original order, you can't say that those officials are bigger than him...... Fortunately, it is a military attaché.
There are a few civil officials in Hanzhuang who are not in charge of some things, and some people say that Zhao Xiong is from the ninth grade, and he is a grade and an official.
But people don't rub you, these people have backers, which is why he needs to use brute force to subdue the docks.
