Chapter 122: There is persecution paranoia
In mid-February, the weather warmed up.
The entire Liujiagang Xingang has become a large construction site. The Ming Royal Silver has already started, and the craftsmen are amazed by the cement.
Not only does it have good adhesion, but it also solidifies like a stone. It mixes with water, sand, and stones to form something called concrete.
The speed of the project has been greatly improved, so the scale of the main project will be visible in a few days.
Three thousand artisan households have arrived one after another, and these people have dragged their families with them, and they have suffered many sins along the way. I thought the place I came to was a barren place.
Especially with the old Confucian women and children, and they went to the wilderness, everyone was ready to freeze and starve.
Every migration is a history of blood and tears. When they catch up, they can only consider themselves unlucky.
Unexpectedly, after coming here, I found that this is not a wilderness, but a large construction site.
Since it is a construction site, there is naturally work to do. Craftsmen are all craftsmen, and as long as they have a job, they can support their families.
What they didn't expect was that as soon as they arrived, they were warmly received by a young man who was so fat that he couldn't find his eyes that he brought some people warmly.
Each family receives rice according to the population, and the really good grain is not mixed with sand. This did not reassure them, but instead looked at their daughters and children more seriously.
Even some of the daughters in the family are beautiful, and they are specially plastered. They have never believed in the good intentions of the government, they must have taken a fancy to their own children or something.
In short, there will be no goodwill.
But what was even more unexpected was that they were even given tents so that they could live temporarily. This makes these craftsmen who have left their homes even more worried.
"See the bricks? By the way, just the hill of bricks behind you, do you see those warehouses? It's all cement. ”
Xu Qin pointed to the bricks and tiles like a hill and the cement warehouse, and was speaking to these people.
The craftsmen looked left and right and finally felt a little relieved, this is a job to do, and the money for food and tents can be repaid.
"See our wasteland?" Xu Qin pointed to the barren mountains and mountains behind him.
The craftsmen looked at him one by one like a goose, not knowing what the young man in front of him wanted to do.
"Build your own house, and the bricks and cement are for you, and when you finish building it, you will be your own."
After Xu Qin finished speaking, he looked at the shocked expressions of these craftsmen, and was very proud.
Now the craftsman finally started talking. They feel that they have heard it wrong, and they are going to build a house for themselves, or is it a brick structure?
It's simply not possible. There must be a conspiracy.
"Your Excellency, you won't lie to us poor craftsmen, we can't afford it, and we have nothing to give you." The old craftsman said with a sad face.
Xu Qin was looking forward to these poor craftsmen, turned over and sang, and then cried and thanked himself to Dade, and finally offered himself as a living immortal.
But it was this sentence that he was waiting for, and he was stunned for a moment to make sure he heard it correctly.
Why is this happening? After the crossing, there was nothing that could be expected by oneself.
How did he know that the migration of the population in the Ming Dynasty has always been that the government sent people to the localities, and then gave them some means of production casually, and they were left to fend for themselves.
I heard that the house was built, and even the brick structure was still built, everything seemed so ill-intentioned.
Xu Qin looked at Xu Fugui, and Xu Fugui drew his whip to kill this old thing. was stopped by Xu Qin.
It seems that I have taken it for granted. The common people of this era all have persecution paranoia.
"Knowing you can't afford it, so pay in installments. In the future, it will be deducted from your wages, and Lao Tzu will not pay back his son,
The son can't finish the grandson button, the children and grandchildren are infinitely buckled, and you bastards are dead. ”
Xu Qin said angrily.
"Oh, I see, thank you for your kindness." The old craftsman was relieved.
The craftsmen of the black pressure actually showed a happy expression, and even celebrated each other, and finally let go of the hearts they were carrying.
Xu Qin is very sad, this is kindness? I am so lacking in morality, and I am still thanked. What kind of world is this?
Lost interest, he handed over the rest to Wei Chu, who had already arrived. These craftsmen will begin building the house according to Xu Qin's design.
There are 3,000 craftsmen, and there are more than 5,000 registered laborers. These people are not all masons. It is necessary to classify the statistics and then assign the work.
Boatloads of grain, cloth, iron, and wood from King Ning's Mansion flowed down the river. Xu Qin waved his pen and then stamped the seal of the Shanghai Fan Division, which was considered to be the payment.
Shi Wenxin began to recruit fishermen to train as sailors, and the cannons that Zhu Di promised had been shipped over one after another.
The Ming royal firm of the Haifan Division sent the money to the Ministry of Industry or the War Bureau.
Other people's money can be owed, but Zhu Di's can't. This boss is in the overlord business, and even has to pay first.
The key thing is that these things are still nominally his, which is simply shameless, just like a branch company buying from the head office.
The key branch and head office are all one chairman.
As there were more and more sailors, Shi Wenxin became more and more worried, because many of these sailors were by no means good at first glance.
Although the navigation skills are first-class, the thieves and rats are in a gang. Eating is a top two, working secretly and treacherously.
Shi Wenxin's training was even more scornful. He told Xu Qin several times. Xu Qin was not moved at all.
Let him go on business as usual.
Shi Wenxin had no choice but to pinch his nose and practice. Until one day, a group of sailors drank too much and actually broke into the camp where the musketeers were stationed to peek at training.
was caught by Luo Zhong without accident.
"Lao Tzu just drank too much, why did you arrest us? Who knew that it was a military camp, Lao Tzu thought it was a green building......"
The sailor was a bearded man, with a mouth full of big yellow teeth, and an arrogant shout.
"That's it, there is no royal law, hurry up and let Lao Tzu go, Lao Tzu is still unwilling to stay in this broken place, pay the salary and let Lao Tzu go......"
Another skinny monkey also shouted arrogantly.
Under the clamor of these two people, several other people also shouted.
"Come as you want, leave as you want, what kind of place do you think this is?" Shi Wenxin's face turned red with anger.
"What place? The palace of Hades is not successful, and you will not be allowed to leave when you come? You are trying to swallow our wages and deliberately find trouble for us, you black-hearted dog official...... I ...... it."
A mouthful of thick phlegm squirted at Shi Wenxin.
"Fart, how could I ever want to deduct your wages, since you came, I have treated you badly, but you have cheated and cheated."
Shi Wenxin argued with a red face in anger.
"Hehe, you still have the face to say, what kind of bullshit stuff to eat, Lao Tzu is not a big fish and meat to eat elsewhere, and the girls accompany him every night.
Partiality came to you, and there are many rules broken. Give the money Lao Tzu quit. ”
The beard shouted. Others followed suit.
Shi Wenxin's brain reacted slowly, and he was suddenly squeezed by this beard. If you don't let them go, you are a money-grubbing dog official.
How could it be possible to release them, this is the secret of peeping into the barracks. It was impossible for Luo Zhong to agree.
"Where? There are big fish and big meat, and there are. You don't want to be alone in such a nice place, tell the brothers to go together. ”
At this time, Xu Qin came, and Luo Zhong sent someone to invite him.
"Which one are you? Why do you tell these black-hearted officials? The bearded man looked at Xu Qin with a sneer.
"Are you usually too nice to them? So much so that they think you are so bullied that you dare to talk like this? Xu Qin looked back at Shi Wenxin.
Shi Wenxin was a little embarrassed and looked at the bearded man hatefully.
"Boy, you haven't grown all your hair, and you're still here to teach others? Lao Tzu went to the wrong place, how can you still kill people? If you don't dare to kill Lao Tzu, you will quickly settle your salary, and Lao Tzu will leave. ”
Even though the beard is tied, it is still wild and untamable.
"Looks like he doesn't know me, am I so unrecognizable? Looks like I'm fooling around. ”
Xu Qin said with a sigh.
Shi Wenxin took out a leather whip and whipped this beard, he felt very shameless. Dare to talk to the little grandfather like this, because he is not strict with discipline.
"Don't, how can you beat people indiscriminately, I'm a reasonable person." Xu Qin stopped Shi Wenxin and said.
"Yo he, I still want to beat someone, come, even if I fight, if I snort, I won't be raised by my mother. I didn't dare to fight, so I fucking let Lao Tzu go. ”
With a beard, he stared at Xu Qin and shouted excitedly. Like a mad dog that is blue.
"Release, how can you not let it go, but it depends on your luck, bet with me."
Xu Qin said with a sneer.
"Okay, Lao Tzu likes to gamble the most, I don't know what you want to bet on? Do you bet on your ass or not? The beard spat foul language excitedly.
"My ass doesn't gamble, of course it's your life, see if you still have a chance to fish and meat!"
Xu Qin said with a sneer.
"Hehe, gamble, you hairless little kid know what real gambling is?" The beard is not afraid at all.
"Oh, I probably don't know, Luo Zhong, do you have apples here?" Renewal asked back.
The onlookers were suddenly excited, and the little grandfather was going to perform a hundred steps through the Yang again? It's a stunt to hit apples with a firebolt. Last time, he was a second-grade official, and this time he was a sailor, so he could only make do.
They were so excited that they wanted to open the plate.
The bearded man didn't know what they were excited about, but he had bad feelings.
