Chapter 307 Pushing people to the top of the tank, seeing Jiuniang at the night market

After being disturbed by a large number of scholars, Wu Lian no longer had the mood to linger in West Lake and no longer wanted to eat the meal.∷, but he comforted the victim Mr. Lin. When he got on the pleasure boat with Wang Fulin, he saw Wang Fulin instructing the boatman to drive the boat quickly, not caring whether there was a boat catching up with him. The governor of Zhejiang said in a deep voice: "I used to be the prefect of Yingtian and went to Suzhou when I left office. It was early morning and before dawn, I saw satin workers standing on the Huaqiao, and the shawl workers standing on the Guanghua Temple Bridge. The cartmakers who spinned carts were standing in Lianxifang. There were more than ten or hundreds of people standing in every place waiting for work, hundreds of people!"

He paused, as if he was considering what words to describe his shock in his heart: "These households of the southeastern airport are paid daily, that is, if these households want to support their families, they have to continue working all day long. Because, once you get sick one day, you will be overtaken by those who were originally employed at the bridgehead. This has a very vivid name called the Chuangjiang. However, even if the replaced person lost his job, he had to work hard to get up early every day to wait for work to do. At that time, when I saw them looking at each other and dressed in rags, I thought of the refugees I had seen in Yunnan.

Wang Fulin also visited the crowded recruitment market in his previous life, but even if he was crowded, most people would always dress well, trying to leave the best impression on the unit. Have you ever seen the scene mentioned by Wu Lian? It can be described by the Zhejiang governor as the word "distant". Obviously, Wu Lian has a deep impression of this.

"At that time, the people accompanying me told me that although it was difficult to wait for work, the most terrifying thing was that the silk was accumulated over and no one bought it. Merchants did not buy it. The machine shop wanted to reduce inventory and output. So they had to stop work. When their work was stopped, there were often thousands of machine shops with no work to do and no food or clothing. If those who only read the books of sages would definitely say, why not cultivate the fields and cultivate the land, but you should know that it has been two hundred years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. The southeast was almost all mature land, and there was no more than half acre of desert land. The existing land was not enough for farmers to plant themselves, and the landlords hired tenants to hire long-term workers. Where can we get the land to cultivate?"

Speaking of this, Wu Lian turned around and looked at Wang Fulin: "So, after I took office as the governor of Zhejiang, the first thing I did was not to inspect the prefectures and counties in Zhejiang, but to lead the way. I went to the area of ​​Bucangyuan Bridge, Liubuqiao, Heiqiao, and Tongjiang Bridge. Similar to Suzhou, there were also places where hired workers gathered and waited for the owner to choose. In recent years, most of the silks in all directions were from Suzhou, and they lived a life, so they would not be able to work day by day without work. In this kind of place, there were still several groups of people in the business traveling through it, collecting money from those machinists who were already extremely difficult, and they fought hard, and took charge of the channels for the machinists to hire workers. Therefore, although the thugs in the Beixinguan Rebellion should be punished, these greedy and violent marketers should also be strictly controlled. The headquarters heard that Yu Yuan praised you many times, and then asked you for advice, not just casually."

According to a statement by the unofficial history critic Zhenzhen, there were many idle laborers in the southeast in the late Ming Dynasty, but they had such things to digest. In addition to the rich environment, the market was prosperous, which was enough to support so many idle and idle people. Therefore, for more than 200 years, the Ming Dynasty had been quite stable in addition to the Japanese turmoil. In contrast, Shaanxi and Sichuan could not digest these redundant populations that had lost their land and had no skills. Then, when the natural disaster broke out in the late Ming Dynasty, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong caused chaos in the world, and were eventually entered by the Qing Dynasty.

Although this logical reasoning is a bit far-fetched, Wang Fulin will never deny that the overcrowdedness of big cities like Hangzhou and Suzhou in this era will definitely make any big city of the same era as ashamed.

Therefore, Wu Lian had a preliminary contact with him in Louwai Tower before, but did not have a deep conversation. At this moment, he said so much like a bean. Wang Fulin realized that the governor of Zhejiang actually wanted to take action! Many people often say that the people in the southeast are weak, but they will definitely be scoffed at this day. If they are really weak, how can the Zhejiang army defeat the Japanese pirates? But even famous generals like Qi Jiguang were very prescient at the beginning to not want citizens to join the army, but instead recruited farmers and miners. That was because the style of the people in the southeast are stubborn and violent. If there is any wrong, they will be like a hob, which is the same as gathering people to conquer Beixinguan this time!

However, Wu Lian was recruited by him. He originally wanted to test the other party's attitude, but who knew it had caused great trouble. He had to respond to this expectation. Even if it was just a little response. Thinking of the scholars who came and left in a mess today, he suddenly felt aroused and smiled and said with apologies: "Wu Ministry Academy, Tu Fuzun's praise for me before was actually too much. I am young and have many ideas. Fortunately, the Duzun was willing to listen to me, and he was very lucky. He passed the Beixin Pass safely. As for gathering a group of people in the business world and opening an escort agency, it was just a start. If Wu Ministry Academy wanted those people in the business world who moved from the ground to the underground could support themselves, I, a foreigner, could do very little."

Before Wu Lian could continue to put pressure on him, he rushed to say, "If Wu's Academy doesn't mind, the scholars who were scolded and beaten by you today are actually a good entry point. I will use your sign to contact the old and unwilling Master Chen. Although his career is very bad, he is a local snake and has made friends with all kinds of people. In this way, let him come forward to contact those businessmen from open to dark, and it will be natural. Wu's Academy does not need to contact this person, just send a close friend to say something. Those scholars have caused him such a big trouble, as long as they know it is the meaning of Wu's Academy, he will definitely spare no effort."

Wu Lian didn't expect Wang Fulin to come up with such an idea. He pondered for a long time, and finally nodded slightly and said, "Well, our department will lend you a name. If there is any news, I'll send you a letter to the inspector."

Although he was only a young scholar in his fifteenth year, he was only based on his bravery and resourceful performance in Beixinguan. He just shocked a group of scholars in Louwailou and couldn't speak confidently. He already had 70% or 80% of his suggestions. After all, it would be better for scholars to do this kind of thing, so it would be better to let local snakes try it first. Although he had no good feelings for people like Mr. Chen who do flesh-and-hearted business, it was far from the point of solving the cancer.

When Wang Fulin returned to the inn, it was already Shen Zheng's death. However, he found that except for the few people left behind in the inn, all were not there. Mr. Ke and Mr. Fang made an appointment with a few old men from Wansong Academy to go to Feilai Peak together; Jin Bao Qiufeng and Ye Xiaopang went to work on the renovation of Louwailou; Ye Mingyue and Xiaobei took Wang Erniang and Wang Xiaomei together, brought Lian Qiao and Aheng together, and were invited to Shi Guifang's house, as if they were made by the two ladies of the Shi family, but they did not come back until now, and it was clear that the host and guests were all happy.

Bored, he wanted to have a big sleep. But when he thought of what he promised Wu Lian, he suddenly wanted to go to the bridges to see. But as soon as he rode out, he remembered that it was almost dusk and that those who were looking for work had to go home. At this time, he was also disappointed. He had seen the Beiguan Night Market outside the city, but had not yet learned about the Shou'an Night Market, so he simply asked his followers to ask about the way and searched directly. At this time, it was the time when most of the working people rushed home, and it was common for traffic jams on the road. Even if he was riding a horse, he would stop and wait from time to time. Therefore, when he arrived at Shou'an Night Market, the sun was almost set.

But the night market has just begun, from insignificant food shops to high-end restaurants, from various north-south goods shops to high-end shops selling gold, silver and silk. While walking, you can see that there are silk and satin, and everyone wears gold and silver, just like Hangzhou is full of rich people! Wang Fulin saw a young woman walking by the sedan chair, clearly looking like a maid, wearing a big red dress, bead hoops on her head, and a pair of golden lilacs can be seen in both ears. If you want to put it in a remote place, you must think that a wealthy family must be rich!

Wang Fulin just looked around, worried about this folk luxury style. It was what the elders in the court should do, and he didn't have to worry about it. He found a small shop that claimed to be the most authentic ten-color glutinous rice balls and sat down. He ate a bowl of glutinous rice balls with different colors and fillings with the two corpses who came out today, but he was still only three-quarters full. He simply ate along a food shop. In the end, his stomach was so round that he couldn't eat it anymore. He turned around and asked and found that the three people had spent 200 yuan, and then he realized that the night market was really expensive.

You should know that although the wages in Jiangsu and Zhejiang are high, a strong long-term worker can earn twelve taels of silver every year, he may not be able to give up here to eat!

"Brother Fulin!"

While looking around, Wang Fulin suddenly heard this sound when he was secretly stumbled at the price and consumption level in Hangzhou City. If he remembered correctly, there was only one person who would call him like this! He turned his head in surprise and saw that the sedan chairs carried by two people not far away had already landed on the ground. The curtains of the sedan chair were halfway up, revealing a surprised and happy face. Not Xu Wei? Seeing that there were seven or eight followers following him, he quickly walked forward.

"When will Miss Jiu come to Hangzhou? Your father is here too. You are out for a long night, aren't you afraid that he will tell you?"

Although Wang Fulin had come to meet his grandfather and grandmother when he returned to Huizhou last time, he had only had time to say something to him for a while. Therefore, when Xu Wei heard the unfamiliar Miss Jiu, she couldn't help feeling a little unhappy. However, when she heard the second half of the sentence, she was stunned: "Dad has come to Hangzhou too? Didn't he go to Huguang before? I just arrived in Hangzhou today, why didn't my grandfather mention it to me?"

Xu Wei did not answer her most important question, but instead asked her three questions in a row. In her words, she revealed that Mr. Xu had come to Hangzhou. Wang Fulin was surprised. When she learned that Xu Wei was just curious about the Shou'an Night Market, she took a walk around in a sedan. Mr. Xu was still here in a famous theater and would go back together. He thought about it and asked, "Since the old man is here, I can't pretend I don't know. I'll go with you to visit the old man later."

Xu Wei was immediately overjoyed. However, her eyes rolled and she immediately said pitifully: "My grandfather was so forgetful as soon as he entered the theater. Besides, he liked that drama very much and would not leave immediately. I haven't even had dinner yet. Brother Fulin, you have been in Hangzhou for so long, and you must be more familiar than me. Is it good to find a place to eat something first?"

ps: On the 26th, everyone searched and saw if the five tickets were clean? Recently, my number has more than doubled every month, except for my own books, I have given the original war records (to be continued...)
