Chapter 158 The Dead, the Lost, and the Unwanted
After Xia Wanchun listened to the officer's story, he somehow flew up and kicked the thief tied to the pole with a big heel.
The official hurriedly protected the thief and said: "Little minister, our county is not allowed to beat prisoners for no reason. ”
Xia Wanchun glanced at the thief and said, "Not in the future." ”
As he spoke, he kicked the thief on the head, and when the thief got up, he grabbed the pole and howled like a pig.
"Behold, the reader is a bully......"
Seeing that there was a new bustle to see here, everyone gathered around and gave up Zhao Wanli, who was wrapped in a linen sheet.
Xia Wanchun came to Zhao Wanli's tattered corpse, leaned over to take a look, and then covered the linen list and left.
This man really deserves to commit suicide!
Because, he is really cornered.
As early as when the construction of the railway began, Xia Wanchun once called the people who drove the carriage shop in Lantian County to a meeting, telling them that the opening of the railway would have a great impact on their business.
The people in the other carriage shops listened to it, but only Zhao Wanli thought it was nonsense.
Those who listened to it immediately lamented to the government and begged the government to give them a way to live.
Then, the government gave ......
Those with fewer carriages gained the right to pull people at the railway station, and those with more carriages gained the right to travel long distances outside the scope of railway transport.
More horse-drawn carriage shops began to specialize in short-distance transportation between the workshops and the railway station.
Only Zhao Wanli did not give up the short and medium-distance transportation from Lantian to Chang'an, Chang'an to Yushan, Yushan to Phoenix Mountain, and Phoenix Mountain to Lantian.
When the railroad was not built, he made a lot of money, but unfortunately, after the railroad was built, his carriage immediately became an ornament.
By the time he remembered to change the mode of transportation, all the channels he could think of had been occupied by other carriage dealers.
Whether it is carrying passengers, or carrying goods, or going out of the long-distance freight into Shu, or short-distance freight transportation that is only a few miles away, there are people who do it very well, and he can't squeeze in.
What made Zhao Wanli desperate the most was that these people all had license plates issued by the government, and only the carriage shops that had these licenses and were registered with the government could operate special roads.
After the construction of the railway, even on the road from the railway station in Lantian County to various villages, there were horse-drawn carriages that carried people and goods.
At that time, Zhao Wanli, who had the license plate of the fattest cargo pulling routes, couldn't look down on these small business of chickens and dogs at all.
In the deepest part of his heart, he was extremely wary of the government.
It's not just that Yun Zhao once robbed him, but also because he didn't believe in his bones that the government would be kind enough to help these merchants.
He thought that the government was doing this to rob him of his family business......
Zhao Wanli died, and it barely caused any waves in Lantian County, and there was not even a ripple.
Countless commercial banks open every day in the entire Lantian County, and many commercial banks close every day, which is the most normal thing in the eyes of the people of Lantian County.
Zhao Wanli had the slightest trust in the government, he should not dismiss the car shop first, but go to the government to find a solution, after all, the government issued him several license plates that seriously overlapped with the railway line, and after the advantages of the train were fully displayed, the government should have a new placement for him.
Otherwise, it is to compete with the people for profit, which is not allowed by Lantian Law Firm......
In Xia Wanchun's view, a businessman who does not interpret the rules and regulations of the government, does not understand the universal laws, and does not understand what the government is, it is a matter of time before he falls.
Xia Wanchun let out a long sigh and forgot about Zhao Wanli.
Only the officials in the government deliberately recorded Zhao Wanli's affairs, and prepared to take out Zhao Wanli's experience when they encountered the same incident and warn those disobedient businessmen.
Many years later, Zhao Wanli is an indispensable existence for the students of Lantian Business when they are learning business cases.
He used his own experience and life to tragically explain to the younger generations how to be a businessman in the new era.
From then on, the relationship between the government and the merchants is no longer the relationship between exploitation and exploitation, and their relationship will become a symbiotic relationship, which is a new interpretation of Yunzhao's status to the Ming merchants.
This interpretation cannot be said clearly, otherwise, it will be despised by the reader, so it can only be used to moisten things silently, and slowly create a fait accompli.
Because of the railway station, the space from the city to the railway station soon became the best choice for people to build mansions, that is, because of these railway stations, all the city maps with railway stations were consciously or unconsciously pulled out of a raised part by the railway station.
Although it is only a thin line now, it will not be long before the line connecting the station and the city will become thicker, and eventually it will become a piece and become a new part of the city.
This is the change of the city that Yunzhao wants.
It took Xia Wanchun a long time to figure out this truth.
From then on, he had a new perspective on his master, and he also found that politics was more esoteric than he thought.
"The country is to be used for construction, only a little bit of construction, do not stop, there will always be changes in quality because of changes in quantity.
The emperor should have invested a lot of money in the construction of the country, instead of hiding in the treasury and waiting for the money to mold.
Whether it is building water conservancy, leveling farmland, digging mountains and building bridges and roads, dredging rivers, and connecting water transportation, it is a good investment for the country.
This thing must be persistent. ”
Yun Zhao put this truth very plainly.
However, the associations of his courtiers are extremely rich.
Some people think of Dujiangyan, some think of Zhengguoqu, some think of the Grand Canal, and some people think of the towering Great Wall...... In short, each of these projects has made an indispensable contribution to the Chinese nation.
Yun Zhao's will is very good, but the Ming Dynasty's current poverty can not be changed overnight, Yun Zhao changed Lantian County for fifteen years, and if you want the Ming people to live the life of Lantian people, it must be a generation.
Spring in Liaodong always comes later than other places, but fortunately, it still comes, and on this point, Liu Zongmin doesn't have much to complain about.
What he complained about was that there were fewer and fewer women in his military tent.
These women are so fragile that they are almost dead after only one winter.
He didn't understand that these women were obviously well fed and warmly dressed, but they died very simply.
The reason why he exclamated was simply because his guards had carried a corpse out of a tent and into the woods.
Unbeknownst to him, the corpse would normally come to life when it reached the woods, and the guards hurried away after handing the woman over to a group of men wrapped in various warm clothes.
And these ragged men will take turns to carry this woman straight to Beacon Hill and Skyscraper.
No one offended the woman, and even though she looked clean and beautiful, these people didn't even bother to look at her more, but just carried her on their shoulders and hurried through the dense spring forest.
Liu Zongmin is now in command of the rear army, that is to say, he is the one who faces Li Dingguo's army.
In many cases, Liu Zongmin hopes to have a real fight with Li Dingguo, no matter whether he wins or loses, he doesn't feel that he has any regrets.
However, after Li Dingguo captured Beacon Hill and Motianling, he did not move, and he once commanded his subordinates to storm this military fortress several times, but unfortunately, except for leaving a pile of corpses, it had no effect.
What made Liu Zongmin most angry was that this seemingly impregnable military fortress was once in his hands, but it was easily captured by Li Dingguo.
For this reason, Liu Zongmin could not be stationed in Jinzhou with other rebels, so he could only stay in the deep mountains and old forests to build a wooden fortress to guard against Li Dingguo's sudden attacks.
Before coming to Liaodong, Liu Zongmin still had more than 60,000 people under his command, and after only a year, the number of people under his command had decreased by more than half.
To this day, Liu Zongmin has not counted the army for a long time, not that he does not count, every time after the count, more people flee, which makes Liu Zongmin's heart like ashes.
It's not that there were no escapes before, but the army is in the Ming Dynasty, how many people flee, and how many people are coerced, in Liaodong, in addition to enough blind bears, it is difficult to find superfluous people.
Now, Liu Zongmin was standing on a high slope, watching the group of guys in tattered clothes carry the woman to Motianling.
After a few gunshots, some fell to the ground, and many more poured into the narrow canyon carrying the woman......
Liu Zongmin looked back at his guards, who didn't seem to have much fear of the general's oppressive eyes, and looked at the dirt under their feet one by one, not knowing what they were thinking.
In fact, you don't need to ask Liu Zongmin to know what they are thinking.
These are the people who have followed him all the way from Guanzhong to the present.
It is very unreasonable to say that these people betrayed him, after all, if these people betrayed him, he would not be alive now.
These are all life and death brothers who are willing to come to the water and go to the fire with him, they think that they can die with him Liu Zongmin, but they don't want their own brothers, or sons, and nephews to die with them, so there is a woman who borrows the boss and sends her relatives out to give her a chance to survive.
"We don't necessarily die, King Chuang is trying to find a way, we can always have a way to live, brothers, think about it, is it more difficult now than when we only had a hundred or ten people left in Shanxi?
Since you believe in me Liu Zongmin, then continue to believe in me, and you will definitely be able to find a way out for the big guy. ”
These guards still lowered their heads, what they said to Liu Zongmin was numb, the Ming in Liu Zongmin's mouth was dead, and the weak and failed Ming was gone.
In their place was a brand-new Ming, a Ming who was more like a robber than they were.
This Ming has closed the door to them, and they will never go back......
