In this case, if the government wants to dredge the town of Dingkou, it will either expand the size of the town or demobilize the population, these refugees are just here to beg for a living, and it is almost impossible to dismiss them, so the only feasible thing is to expand and build the city.

At that time, Hanyang, Hankou and Wuchang had been merged, and Hankou was divided into foreign ports and Chinatowns, and due to the economic and trade development brought about by the demarcation of foreign ports, the land prices here were particularly high.

As for Wuchang, this is the residence of the government, and most of the educational and cultural facilities are concentrated, and it is still feasible to buy land here, but there are many new factories established by Chinese businessmen in Hanyang, and the river is a big problem, and the people may not be willing to move away.

The government thought about it, so it had to expand the new land to the old Hanshui county south of Hanyang!

As early as the time of the Zhu Ming Dynasty, the Hanshui passed through Hanshui County, and the county was divided into two parts, the middle was prosperous and prosperous, and the two sides of the strait were full of Caoyun and all industries, mansions and residences.

For hundreds of years, the old county town has been completely abandoned, just a dead city full of ruined walls, and it is not difficult to build a new county seat, but when it comes to the old Han water river, it is completely different.

In the old river of Hanshui, there are always refugees to live, if some farmers have no land to shop and become homeless, they will also move to the river, there is neither the government nor the officials, even the tax collectors do not come, as long as they can get food and drink, they can live here, relying on the canal drawn from the ink lake, the river has gathered a lot of broken settlements, and gradually formed a village here.

For hundreds of years, there have been people who have left the villages, and there are also people who have moved from the road, and the people have stopped and stopped, but these villages have always been full of people.

Whether it is the previous dynasty or the Republic of China, the government thinks that these villages are like swill buckets, just a place to hide dirt and dirt, and they are all so poor that they can't even afford straw mats.

If you don't mention the expansion of the county, the villages in the old river will definitely be able to continue to exist in peace, involving the southern expansion of the county, these villages have become a thorn in the eye, and the old river through the Hanshui county also means that the villages in these rivers also happen to be in the county, and their geographical location is so special, it is difficult to deal with it.

Especially this kind of broken village, it is even more difficult to deal with it.

If you want to move these people out, you have to prepare tickets, houses, build new houses for them in other areas, and you have to give them enough money before they are willing to move out.

There are so many dingkou, and it costs a lot of money from the government, even if it takes so much effort, some people refuse to move out.

For these refugee households, these places don't even come to collect taxes, and of course no one comes to pay their taxes, so it is naturally a free land that the government doesn't care about, and they are happy to earn money and money, as long as the government is far away from them, out of sight.

As soon as they heard that they had to be relocated, it meant that they should be included in the household registration, and after that, all those who were taxed and paid taxes and contributions would be asked according to the household registration map, and they would not even be able to run away.

A variety of factors are at fault, how can these broken settlements refuse to move out, the government has also thought of using force to move away, so that you have to use knives and guns, Hanyang expansion has been full of storms, at this time, don't say to use knives, that is, send thugs to fight these broken settlements, that has to be made a big fuss in the newsprint.

Speaking of the broken settlement itself, they know that this place is very special, and they don't want to move away, whoever wants to come with them, they will definitely break the jar and break it, and they have to splash some blood.

At this point, this is already a hot potato, and it can't be beaten, so the government decided to give up this land and re-plan it in order to take into account the impact of Jianghan's expansion of the city.

In the original plan, as long as all these dilapidated houses were moved out of the old river, they would be directly filled in and built into a new county together with the county towns on both sides.

Nowadays, the government has abandoned these places, and the old river channel is still the same, only to build new towns on both banks, so that it will take a lot of time to bypass the two banks, in order to facilitate the walking on both sides, the government directly erected two arch bridges on both sides of the river, connecting the county into a whole.

With these two arch bridges, Hanshui County can connect the whole city without more detours, and at the same time, it can also introduce the railway into the county according to its geographical advantages.

After the construction of Hanshui City, hundreds of thousands of people in Hanyang were diverted to Hanshui County, which relieved the pressure on Hanyang's towns a lot.

A person got the road chicken dog ascended to heaven, Hanshui county from the broken wall again into a new county seat, after the makeover, ushered in a large number of factories and houses, attracted a lot of people to live, the original desolate and barren county seat, gradually became Ding Kou prosperous, if driving, from the two steel arch bridge face down overlook, can also see more than ten meters deep in the broken river channel, such as building blocks and weeds like the messy mansion.

With the development of Hanshui County, you can at least get a little bit of meat if you don't eat meat, some of the dilapidated households will widen the canal, implicate a dense water network, connect the ink lake and the river tidal flats, the canopy fishing boats come and go frequently, do the fish trading between the river and the water, and the river market officially appears.

These fish are not good goods, they are all dead fish and crabs that are not wanted by some big fishing boats, they buy them to clean up and clean up as dead fish and dead shrimp, and sell them to the people in nearby factories, which are cheap and satisfying, so that the poor people will not even be able to eat a single meat, and more smart people, it seems that there are more and more rent-seeking displaced people, and they have begun to build a series of shacks and rent them to outsiders.

This is indeed a lucrative business!

The mansions and dwellings in Hanshui County are not affordable for everyone, and the wealthy households in the ocean buy more sets of courtyards to settle down, and those who are not abundant also rely on stable work to rent a certain street and alley, and then down, that is, those who have neither money nor any serious work.

These people are either five disadvantages and three lack of households that no one employs, or they are lazy people who are monks for a day and hit the clock for a day, they are full of food and the whole family is not hungry, they eat meat if they have money today, and they will have to eat tomorrow if they have no money.

They don't have any savings in their pockets, and they don't have a serious rental company, so they are willing to rent them a good house, and these people don't pay attention to it and just sleep on the street, and wait for a patrol team to protect them at night, and if it's bad, they will be dragged into the bureau to eat in prison.

They don't have the money to buy a house, they don't have a rent, they don't have money to live in a hostel, they don't know when they will be released when they sleep on the street, and they don't know when they will be released.

Some bosses have sharp eyes and sharp noses, and they can see that these lazy men have no savings, but they can work and love to spend money, as long as they can provide some cheap places, and win by quantity is not less than the earnest hotels, they began to rent and buy land in the river, build some simple and convenient brick houses, and rent them to these people at a low price of ten copper plates a day, which not only made money, but also gave these people a place to live at night.

The hostels in Jianghan City, even if they are the lowest-level hotels, have to be a piece of the ocean for one night, and ten copper plates are already cheap, and these displaced people have a place to live, which can be regarded as solving the security problem of the new county, and the government also turns a blind eye, and does not come to toss them with less taxes.

There is no need to inquire about the things that make money, and they are publicized everywhere, and some of them are broken down to learn from these bosses to build sheds in their own homes, although they are not as large as the scale of serious sheds, but they can subsidize the family, and it can be regarded as a windfall.

Although these merchants and speculators only opened sheds and grocery stores here, they also contributed to the river, seeing that there were more and more dilapidated settlements and homeless people gathered here, and the place where the common people gathered, it was inevitable to eat, drink, and entertain, and the old Hanshui Road also changed from a simple village to a department store, and became a place where the inferior products of the nearby factories were sold cheaply.

Whenever there is a defective commodity sent by a nearby factory or trading house, it can be quickly digested by the nearby people, who don't have much money in their hands, and don't care whether the things are good or not, as long as they can be used, they are really almost inferior.

But all the sales will be implicated in the sale of fakes, the traders inside are mixed, the goods are also mud and sand, good and bad are mixed, when buying it all depends on the buyer's own palm, greedy for cheap is greedy for cheap, if you buy fakes, then you have to admit it yourself.

The department stores in these places are all bought and sold with a hammer, and the things bought are also paid with one hand and delivered with one hand, without leaving any receipts.

It is also because of this reason that most of the goods that are inconvenient to sell in the Jianghan Yangbu and Chinatown sectors will be disposed of through the old river, and there is no record during this period to find them, and even the black fire can be taken away through here.

The river water is like a dragon Jiudao Bay, the north and south groceries meet the river city, since the opening of the Jianghan port until now, the old Jianghan road has always undertaken such a function, to put it bluntly, it is equivalent to the sewer and swill bucket of Jianghan City.

For the people of the rivers and lakes, there are now stolen goods and fake sales in the river market, there are crooked and evil ways, and there are three religions and nine streams, and the pedestrians and traders who deal with them here are like the fish in the Hanshui River.

After introducing the origin of River City, Sun Daqiao continued: "These God Pressers are doing such things, and it is normal to stay in River City. ”

"Then according to what you said, this river market has long stopped doing fish business?"

Yue Guanchao asked casually, this river city in Jianghan can be regarded as bold because he dares to dabble in black fire.
