Chapter 1053: Different People, Different Views!
What is Huangsha and what does it stand for?
If someone asked like this, no one would be able to answer in the Chu State, or outside the sandbank, because Huangsha Town was only a very small place, and no one in the ninth layer of the Chu State would have heard of such a small place.
However, if the people of Shazhou, especially those displaced people in Qingzhou and Shazhou, were to answer, 100% of them would answer with the following answers: Huangsha Town is the hope of life, a ray of light in endless darkness, and a trace of warmth in this cruel world.
Huangsha Town represents equality, hope, and a better future, and only here can ordinary people at the bottom truly stand and live.
Especially for the homeless, Huangsha Town has countless hopes of survival.
There are huge factories here, these factories and enterprises make dozens of goods that are sold crazy outside, as long as you enter the factory, you can live a worry-free life, your family or something, you can also get food and clothing.
Also, here, even if you can't get into the factory, there's a lot of work waiting for you to do.
As long as you have the strength, you can go to farming, you can go to afforestation, you can go to cultivate the Half Moon Valley Reservoir, you can go to the mountains to mine stones, you can go to raise fire armor cattle...... Wait, there are countless jobs waiting for you here.
Even if you're old or you're a weak woman, you won't be disliked here, and there are plenty of job opportunities where you can warm up.
Cooking, cooking fires, boiling water, looking at warehouses, working in cloth factories, etc., all of which don't require much effort.
Huangsha Town, which is now developing towards modernization, undoubtedly means the hope of life, the hope of wealth, the relaxed policies here, and the enlightened measures for the people, which is basically a paradise for the people at the bottom in this era, at least here in the Chu State.
Early this morning, Chen Yuqiang, the owner of the leather armor shop, and seven or eight shopkeepers of the leather armor business from Linsha City walked out of the house and headed towards his leather armor shop.
Only after Chen Yuqiang surrendered to Lin Ze, his cloth and leather armor shop not only did not suffer a big loss, but also because of Lin Ze's vigorous development of commerce, as well as the influx of a large number of displaced people, and the establishment of a large number of troops, so that his leather armor shop was vigorously developed.
In the past, Chen Yuqiang's leather armor shop relied on preparing military supplies for the White Elephant Legion in Tianqian City to make money, and this kind of thing was very unsafe, because the commercial power was completely in the hands of the logistics officers of the White Elephant Legion, and once he was unhappy, Chen Yuqiang would have to sit on the wax.
Therefore, every year Chen Yuqiang has to give a large sum of money to the logistics officers of the White Elephant Legion, in order to be able to get orders for the logistics materials of the White Elephant Legion.
It can be said that Chen Yuqiang was very profitable at that time, but this money was very uncomfortable, and there was no bottom line.
It's different now, after Lin Ze came to Huangsha Town and vigorously developed commerce, Chen Yuqiang, who used to rely on the White Elephant Legion to live, suddenly found that even if they didn't rely on the logistics of the White Elephant Legion, even if they didn't please those greedy logistics officers of the White Elephant Legion, they could still live very well.
Just like Chen Yuqiang's cloth shop and leather armor shop, in the past half a year or so, the amount of cloth (ordinary people) and leather armor (Lin Ze's army) sold is the sum of the amount he supplied to the White Elephant Legion in the previous ten years.
Especially in the cloth that ordinary people need, in the past three or four months, the amount sold every day is extremely amazing.
From the moment the door opens to the time it closes, there is no shortage of customers.
Chen Yuqiang knew very well why he had such a good business, and it was all because of Lin Ze's large number of homeless people.
Lin Ze, every homeless person, will work in that row, and the salary is not low, so as long as he works for a month, the homeless person will have enough money in his hands.
In the past, because the day was precarious, it didn't matter if these homeless people wore tattered clothes, but now that they have settled down, their lives are getting better and better, and they are getting more and more tasteful, so it will be very embarrassing to wear tattered clothes again.
Especially their wives and children, who had no money before, so they could only keep their clothes, but now that they have money, as husbands and fathers, of course, they have to buy good clothes for their wives and children.
In this way, Chen Yuqiang's cloth shop business is very good.
Also, as a reward for his previous surrender, Lin Ze handed over the order for the uniforms and boots of his army to Chen Yuqiang.
Lin Ze now has an army of more than 100,000 in his hands, and if you add the patrolling patrols, there are about 150,000, and half of the 150,000 is 75,000.
With such a big number, Chen Yuqiang will be busy to death this year.
However, Chen Yuqiang is so busy, and he is very happy in his heart, because this is not what he asked for in a low voice, but a real business operation.
"It's all the grace of the Governor, from now on, I don't have to pretend to be a grandson, this time the Governor's order, I must complete it perfectly!" Chen Yuqiang secretly made up his mind in his heart.
This time, Chen Yuqiang will meet more than a dozen cloth armor shopkeepers in Linsha City at the same time, which is for Lin Ze's big order.
Xu Gui is the shopkeeper of Xu's leather armor shop in Linsha City, he came back to the remote Huangsha Town this time, firstly because Chen Yuqiang's order is very large, he wants to come here to have a look, and secondly, because this is Lin Ze's subordinate city, now even the governor Yu Deen is in front of Lin Ze, he is talking with his head down, and he does not dare to object to Lin Ze's words at all.
Just like the previous battle for food prices, the Governor's Mansion was extremely powerful at the beginning, but it was quickly defeated, and he obeyed Lin Ze, the deputy governor, and directly reduced the price of grain to twenty silver coins on the third day.
Maybe ordinary people will only be happy about the reduction in food prices, but for people like Xu Gui, this is different, because this means that the power of the sandbar has moved to Lin Ze, and the real person in charge of the future sandbar is not the governor's mansion, but Lin Ze's deputy governor's mansion.
As a businessman, you must know how to act at the right time, so after confirming that Lin Ze has the right to Linsha City, a businessman like Xu Gui immediately wants to make friends with Lin Ze.
Coming to Huangsha Town to open a store is a plan to please Lin Ze.
Coming to the place where people say that life is hopeful, Xu Gui and his party who walked on the street looked at the town in front of them, which seemed a little small in scale, Xu Gui and they found it difficult to believe that the business of such a laughing town could develop, even if its owner was the controller of the sandbar, it was extremely difficult to develop the business here.
What's more, the people Xu Gui and the people they saw on the street, the ninth floor were all ordinary people who could understand at a glance, and they were dressed very ordinary, and there were not even a few people wearing silk.
In this regard, Xu Gui was even more optimistic about Lin Ze's desire to develop the business of Huangsha Town.
However, even so, Xu Gui and the others still had to come to Huangsha Town to open a store, because they wanted to please Lin Ze, and this was the only thing they could do.
"Alas, in order to please the vice president, these expenses have to be spent!" Xu Gui sighed in his heart.
"Shopkeeper Xu, look at these people, look at the happy look on their faces, as if it is a happy thing to come to this Huangsha Town. The golden shopkeeper on the side looked at the ordinary people on the street with confident smiles on their faces, and said with a smile in Xu Gui's ear.
Chen Yuqiang, who was walking in the front, also heard this sentence, and he smiled slightly in his heart, as a person who came to Huangsha Town to open a store twenty years ago, Chen Yuqiang knew better than others how difficult it was to start his new life in a strange place.
Therefore, Chen Yuqiang quickly accepted these displaced people and responded to them with a smile.
As for Xu Gui's disdain in their hearts, Chen Yuqiang still knew it, and he pouted with disdain in his heart, for Xu Gui and them to be so short-sighted, or not to investigate at all, they easily drew conclusions, and looked down on them.
As long as Xu Gui and the others can really face up to these previous homeless people, they can find that these homeless people are full of vitality, and they are dressed in ordinary clothes, and they don't have much money, but because the number is huge, there are three or four hundred thousand, so even if everyone only consumes two or three silver coins a month, it will be nearly one million silver coins a month, which is not a small amount of money.
The number of displaced people is still increasing, and the money earned by the displaced people is also increasing, so it can be said that in the future, this will definitely be a gold mine.
And Xu Gui said that he had been a shopkeeper for decades, but he couldn't see this big gold mine in the future, and Chen Yuqiang really looked down on them in his heart.
"Forget it, after this cooperation, don't cooperate with them anymore, it's too risky to cooperate with such a short-sighted person!" Chen Yuqiang made a decision in his heart.
Xu Gui and the others would never have imagined that it was precisely because they looked down on some of the words of these homeless people that they lost Chen Yuqiang, a huge partner.
In the future, after Xu Gui and the others knew this, they almost hit the wall and died.
Especially in the future, several factories established by Lin Ze to produce toilet paper, toothpaste, toothbrushes, toffee, etc. began to produce, and countless merchants poured into Huangsha Town to buy goods, Xu Gui and others regretted wanting to hit the wall.
Xu Gui and they set up a shop in Huangsha Town, but the scale of this shop is extremely small, very small, and they don't care at all, so of course, these businesses don't have their share.
After Xu Gui and the family heads behind them knew about this, they directly withdrew them.
At this time, Xu Gui and the others were already speechless with regret.
