This work does need to be waited for 24 hours, after all, people's ships arrive at the port at night, and they can't just be stuck in the port, of course, there is still a preliminary quarantine.

Huo Yuanjia sighed, it's not like it's not good to earn credits.

Zhang Dai was surprised and said, "Are you a student?" Do you want to work here to subsidize your family? ”

In Zhang Dai's opinion, doing this kind of work as a shipwright who contacts the peddlers and pawns at sea is only done by the lowest level clerks, isn't Chen Youliang doing this, the young man in front of him looks very well maintained, he hasn't done much rough work at a glance, and he is also particular about his clothes, using Jiangnan silk, and he can't help but look up to it in his heart.

"I don't have much money, so I'm going to give a few dollars for food."

In fact, social service credits are a very tangled thing, and the elders hope that students can devote their time to learning a specialized subject, and all the time should be spent on brushing up on the best, at least in a few years, to build the team of engineers and industrial workers they need.

However, for those students who are not well exposed to the natural sciences, it is necessary to think carefully.

They will definitely go to work as the existence of the "master", and in the past many years of visits, the elders fully understand that the problem of the Ming control lies in the loss of control over the low-level officials.

Countless cases have shown that these officials have no loyalty to the state system, on the contrary, everything that comes to mind is how to accumulate wealth, they live in the same place for a long time, collude with each other to marry, and any policy that tries to save the Ming Dynasty will become a means for them to accumulate money.

For this part of the young people who will enter the junior cadre system, the elders have basically spent some effort to transform their worldview, and the focus is, of course, to complain, and after showing the difference between the new world and the old world, the rest of the matter is for everyone to study how to destroy the old society.

Of course, in terms of income, the Ming Dynasty officials have no income, which is simply a natural excuse for them to embezzle, at this point, the elders will certainly not make the same mistake, of course, in order to be ready to introduce high-end talents into the industrial and commercial scientific research circles, the basic salary of civil servants will not be too high.

The elders have very low requirements for the grassroots, don't make trouble, slowly get people overseas, form some kind of basic autonomy similar to the early days of the establishment of the United States, and reduce the cost, of course, it can't be the kind of state in the United States where women can marry at the age of 12, and that state can only be at the age of 18, so pedophiles can only drive Lori to the central states to snap, how hard is it.

As the child of a member of the system, Huo Yuanjia received a very formal education, and was receiving a castrated version of junior high school level education, that is, he abandoned the poetry in the Chinese language, and specially trained the clerks who could write and read official documents.

And what kind of painting and music that cultivates sentiment, what kind of bullshit, if it is in the Celestial Empire in the 21st century, such a school strategy is enough to anger the parents of those hard-working students, but here it has become a good governance that is praised by others.

There is no great sentiment here, the sea of stars, just have a day.

Zhang Dai was distressed and said: "Then how can you do it, who is your teacher, how can you let the scholar fall to this." ”

Huo Yuanjia said: "It's the teacher." ”

"You're going to work here at a young age, don't you have adults in your family?"

"My dad is on a business trip, my mother is busy doing things, anyway, there is no one at home, so I'll just review here."

Zhang Dai felt distressed, another unfortunate but positive child in his own life, he has a school field in his own family, the Zhang family members who have been officials outside for generations, are full outside, and they are all donating a lot of money when they come back......

Here, Zhang Dai obviously misunderstood, but it is not a misunderstanding, in the Ming Dynasty, the term "points" belongs to money, in the ideal pricing of the government, one or two silver = 10 money silver = 100 points of silver = 1000 Wen = consistent,

Therefore, credits, in Zhang Dai's understanding, are some kind of unit of measurement.

He took it out of his pocket, and there was a lot of silver in his wallet, and said, "Use these five taels of silver." ”

Zhang Dai often heard that the scholars here in the north were treated poorly, not only did they stop giving the silver to the endowments, but they didn't even give out the pork when they sacrificed to the holes.

Huo Yuanjia was shocked and refused again and again.

Zhang Dai hesitated a little, but saw that Huo Yuanjia was threatening: "If you entangle like this again, I will call someone, and we are not allowed to collect money!" ”

Huo Yuanjia had some brains, knowing how much the elders hated this kind of gray income, and they had great prospects, so why bother themselves so much.

Zhang Dai felt that the other party didn't want it, but was afraid of something, and sighed in his heart, but his eyes saw the words on Huo Yuanjia's school uniform, and he had some impressions in his heart.

Turning his head out of the customs, it was a crowd of people, all kinds of people soliciting business, of course, all across the railing, and did not come up to pull, all holding signs, which read: "accommodation", "sauna" and other words.

But this is also a different scene, Zhang Dai looked up and down with great interest, and the person who led the way was a scholar who had been to the imperial capital, so it was not surprising that he saw it.

Zhang Dai walked in front, followed by a few servants with large bags and small bags, opened the fan and fanned the wind, the so-called city, living in urban residents, in essence, are all the same, Zhang Dai compared the local situation in his hometown, but it is also eight or nine ten, the output of urban residents in this era is not much, most of them are either service industries, or craftsmen like slaves.

"Who is that?"

Zhang Dai suddenly saw a woman, not young, wearing a red armband between her arms, what words were written on it were far away and couldn't be seen clearly, but she was very angry.

Lin Yinqiang was startled and said: "Shi Gong, that person can't be provoked, I told Shi Gong before I came, here, even spitting is not allowed, they don't say that there is anything disease-causing in the phlegm, it's really a joke, it's nothing more than a trick to coerce the people, but the woman with the red armband on the street can't be provoked." ”

No need to ask, another poor worm who was spitting and littering was severely flattened by the aunt in Chaoyang District.

Zhang Dai already knew that this emperor had a bit of a Legalist taste, and spitting on the street was a fine plus all kinds of humiliating punishments, think about it, how can ordinary workers and peasants have time to spit on the street, and it is not a full-fed study that has the opportunity to show such cowardice?

One pass ten to ten to hundred, even if he is wrong, returning to Jiangnan will naturally completely magnify this matter.

The aunt is really crying on the street, theoretically they are members of the city appearance renovation team led by multiple departments, but they wear many hats, the city appearance must be managed, and the road operation must be dealt with, and even according to the "Interim Reward Measures for the Masses of the Imperial Capital to Report Clues of Terrorism and Violence Violations and Crimes", the bad guys are also paid to report, which can be said to be extremely majestic, many of them are local residents, the men in the family are busy all day long, and their grandchildren are sent to study, and every day at home is really nothing to do. At this time, the elders helped them find work.

However, those shopkeepers greeted each other warmly, but Zhang Dai thought that it would be ...... to order the small people to monitor each other and manage even some private matters

"Well, the ground is really clean."

He had noticed that the ground here was all white and gray.

Later generations of China, once called cement ash, as the name suggests, is naturally imported, but this thing is really good, in fact, some places in China have soil cement manufacturing technology, but basically there is no large-scale promotion, soil cement also lacks technical standards for promotion, the most important thing is that it is too expensive.

In Shaoxing, he heard that there were new things, he once went to see them, and was deeply impressed by the white gray walls and ground.

This thing seems to be like no money, at least Lin Yinqiang took the road to walk like this, he was afraid that Zhang Dai was not used to walking, and explained: "I'm tired of Shigong, this emperor has no superiority and humility, it's a mess, don't hire a sedan chair driver, this road to the train station, and every carriage walks, but it can only be tired of walking." ”

Zhang Dai frowned and asked, "Is it really not even a sedan chair man?" So where do those palanquin men go to make a living, and how do those big and small officials go to the yamen to work? ”

"I don't know, the imperial capital is all upstarts who have rebelled, there are not many old people, naturally they will not sympathize with the elderly, they keep saying that they are not allowed to use people as power animals, but I have my own money, and it is natural to hire someone to carry a sedan chair for me."

Zhang Dai is accustomed to enjoying, and the eight-lift sedan chair he sits in is made of exquisite wood, warm in winter and cool in summer, and can also store tea and snacks, which is really comfortable.

The reason why the princes and nobles are more and more fond of the sedan chair is because of sitting on this special means of transportation, no car and horse fatigue, stable and comfortable, in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, basically all sit in the sedan chair and no one rides a horse, of course, there are technical reasons, riding a horse requires a certain amount of training, and it is also very hard, but the sedan chair is directly comfortable in it.

Of course, the elders banned the sedan chair under the guise of humanitarianism, but it was also extremely legitimate, in fact, a small number of conscientious scholars opposed the sedan chair, Wang Anshi did not sit in the sedan chair, only rode a donkey, said that since ancient times, although the prince did not dare to replace animals with people, he has dealt a heavy blow to the use of the so-called sedan chair.

Of course, the scholars who sit in the sedan chair don't care about this, the manpower is too cheap, so that they can drive a dozen young strong laborers as slaves at a time, always follow and replace, it can also be said that the appearance of the sedan chair has made China's national fortunes plummet, nothing more.

After careful calculation, you can know that there are about 80,000 civil and military officials in the Ming Dynasty, except for a few fierce military attachés, most of them are sitting in a sedan chair, a sedan chair will cost at least four sedan chairs, and more people are eight or even dozens, not to mention what officials, family members and wealthy businessmen are also happy to do.

After being a sedan chair driver for a long time, then basically people will be abolished, joint diseases are commonplace, not to mention going to war, normal farm work is not wanted to do, and the magistrates often use hard labor to be a sedan chair man for free, often young and strong, and once it is scrapped, it will be replaced immediately.

In other words, just on the hobby of sitting in a sedan chair, the Ming Dynasty turned million-level sturdy young people into wasters.

From the view of Confucianism in the Ming Dynasty, the common people are either criminals who need to be guarded against, or foolish people who need to be educated with dull IQ, and the sedan chair husband system can confine a large number of people in a wasted position, so as to achieve their consistent goal of fooling the people and weakening the people.

The imperial capital's reaction to this is naturally dissatisfied, they can't replace animals with people, how to show their status as people, but when a certain young master forced people to carry a sedan chair to bring himself to appear, he kept saying that I spent my own money, why not take a sedan chair.

Later, the young master was put on a board car, pulling the car around the city every day, no matter how noisy his family was, the elders were determined not to agree.

Coming out of the customs, not far from the train station, it is even more lively here, the dense flow of people almost washed away Zhang Dai's servants, fortunately, Lin Yinqiang arranged for Zhang Dai to eat in a store, and he went to buy a ticket.

The railway station is a place where every inch of land is expensive, but unfortunately the elders only rent and do not sell, those who are eager to collect protection fees here or eat dry stocks and heroes are all deflated, but what can be kept here, basically there are not many serious restaurants, you think about it, there are only a few minutes to drive, you want to pad the bar to eat, but the cook tells you that the tamales still need half an hour.

Therefore, in the small restaurant at the train station, either the elders are thirsty for shares, or quick and convenient meals such as ramen and wontons, all of which are waiting for the train.

At this time, the train had already passed through Hebei, but the busiest line was still from Tianjin to the imperial capital.

There are a lot of people in the noodle restaurant, Lin Yinqiang naturally knows what kind of master Zhang Dai is, and asked Zhang Dai to eat noodles here, just to pass the time, by the way, there is a place to sit, and the noodles can be eaten or not.

However, as a gourmet, Zhang Dai is also very interested in the food of the poor, the first impression of this ramen restaurant is that it is clean, the walls are whitewashed, and the store is a compartment composed of several pieces of glass, and you can see that the people inside are cooking with their hands and feet, and there is a large cauldron, I don't know what is boiling inside.

The handover was naturally done by the servant, Zhang Dai dominated the table, and the servant asked, "What is there to eat?" ”

"What else can there be, isn't it just noodles?"

A mouthful of Shanxi dialect, this Shanxi is also a unique advantage, before the army went north, Shanxi was basically looking at the wind, without major trauma, and the emperor was swept by the elders, and the business circle cleaned up also gave Shanxi people a great opportunity.
