Chapter 61 Worthy of the Name

"Shangguan Gang Master, let's go!"

Li Yuanxiang dragged the reluctant Shangguan Tingzhi, put a turtle shell on his back, drove a carriage, and went to Jiang Xia City.

"Alas......"

Smashing his mouth, Shangguan Tingzhi sighed, looking a little melancholy.

"Tsk, you've been milking for three days, don't you feel the taste in your mouth?"

"What is Brother Li making fun of me?"

Glancing at Li Yuanxiang, Shangguan Tingzhi looked at the blue wave axe lake for dozens of miles, and suddenly sighed with emotion, "Brother Li, how do you look at this Wuhan?" ”

"Now it's just a blind man touching an elephant, so what? How not? ”

His Royal Highness King Jiang, who had a broken mouth, smiled, "I just think it's a lot stronger than Yangzhou, you see" Manager Cui', the management of personnel can be called like silk and water, if you throw it to Hebei and Shandong, how can you make a county order, right?" ”

"I thought that this 'Manager Cui' didn't need to go to the county and county orders. If you nest in Wuhan for the rest of your life, it will be three points stronger than the county order. Just like the rich households in the west of Chang'an City, how can they be inferior to the county orders in the east of the river? ”

The two of them were prodigal and chic, but they were not ordinary people, they experienced a gentle township, and they were not in love with the stack, and they withdrew quickly, so that the soldiers who were secretly protecting after helping were surprised.

"Hey...... These two little men are really unusual. ”

"Brother, these two won't be playing down there, right? In the past, those boys and brothers, when they came to this realm, how could they get out of it without ten days and half a month? 'Manager Cui' has a variety of tricks, and you can get any girl or trick to please you. No matter how high these two insights, how high can they go? ”

"You know a fart, these two are not ordinary. No wonder you can worship under the door of 'Li Jiangbei'. ”

"What else can be unusual about a prostitute? It's all prostitution, and the two of them go to prostitution, and they are prostitute? ”

"Get out of the way, wait until you become Lao Tzu's brigade commander one day, and then make noise."

"Yes......"

The task of the rough men is also coming to an end, and as soon as the day is over, the work of covert protection will be completely handed over to the Jianghan Observation Embassy. In fact, in this situation, on the shuttle bus from Axe Lake to Jiangxia City, there are people among them. In order to prevent the two young people from having a whim, they want to be close to the people and experience hardships, so they ran to squeeze the bus.

After passing the Axe Lake, the official road completely changed its appearance, and there were rows of trees on each side of the road. Most of them are metasequoias, and one foot is one, not too thick, and one is only as tall as a seven or eight-year-old boy.

However, metasequoia is very lively, there are more than ten years, and it grows three or four zhang thick with a pot lid, which is not a problem.

"It's a very comfortable and spacious road."

Hearing the rhythm of the horse's hooves becoming more and more stable, Shangguan Tingzhi poked his head out of the car window, looking at the scenery in the distance, and was a little excited.

"These huts, are they for people to cool off? Is it a short pavilion and a long pavilion? ”

"I saw that outside the hut, there was a sign with characters on it. Hey? ”

Li Yuanxiang was stunned for a moment, stopped at the edge of the hut, jumped out of the car, and went around to the side, before exclaiming: "Jin Hong, come and see, this is iron!" ”

Dangdang, the saber knocked on the rails, "It's still good iron!" ”

"I didn't pay attention to it, it turns out that there are still railroad tracks embedded in this road, this Wuhan is so big, aren't you afraid of people stealing?"

"It's not easy to steal, and you have to cut the cement."

The two of them observed it for a while, and were amazed, "It turns out that this is the truth, I think there is a carriage walking on the track." This hut is estimated to be a short pavilion and a long pavilion, but it was used as a station. ”

"Let's go, let's go to the next stop and take a look, there may be people, but there is no one at this station."

After getting into the carriage, His Royal Highness King Jiang was a little excited, the carriage ran fast, and after a while, he actually caught up with a large carriage with a strange shape.

Although they are all two-horse carriages, this carriage goes unhurriedly, and the carriage behind it is even bigger, and the carriage has window bars, and it is full of people, twenty or thirty people, crowded among them.

Li Yuanxiang's eyes widened, and what surprised him even more was that among these twenty or thirty people, there were men, women, old and young.

"Aren't you afraid of indecency?"

The curious Shangguan Tingzhi asked Li Yuanxiang in a low voice.

"Look at the driver."

If you look closely, it's actually a police ......

Looking at the roof of the carriage of the railcar, there was a flag, but the flagpole was a short spear, the head of which was shiny and shining in the sun.

"These people are dressed like the same."

"Maybe I went to a realm."

"Follow."

"Okay."

Dada......

Li Yuanxiang followed behind slowly, and soon, after two or three stations in a row, the already crowded carriage continued to be stuffed with a few more people, and then he went steadily and unhurriedly along the tracks in one direction.

"Was it a workshop?"

"It's Jiangxia City over there, it's already so lively here?"

The south of Jiangxia City, stretching out for twenty or thirty miles, are all rooms and houses with special regulations. In addition to the smooth road, the original moat actually extended out of seventeen or eighteen ditches, all of which were passable by boats. The boats were lined up, each with supplies on it.

Shangguan Tingzhi took a closer look, these ditches were all classified. A ditch that seems to transport only the same kind of material. If there is fruit, they see a basket of oranges on the boat, which leads to a certain Watergate bayonet, where large carts and carts are gathered, and the fruit is immediately kicked away.

If there is a textile, there is linen, hemp, twine, hemp rope, etc., which stops at another bayonet.

There are also those who transport grain, and the wheat from the north is traded here, and a small boat is 10,000 catties, and the documents of the bayonet collusion do not even lift their eyelids.

There are also Liaodong leather goods, not limited to bear skin and wolf skin, even tiger skin can be seen, and then there are all kinds of sheepskin, cowhide and even pig skin, one by one, the scale is so large, Jiang Wang Rao is in the Chang'an Mansion, I have never seen it.

"It's not in the city, it's just a suburb of the southern city, how can it be so powerful? I'm afraid it's enough than Yangzi County. ”

Li Yuanxiang thought he was well-informed, and he was a little overwhelmed at this time, where could he finish it when he entered his eyes? I haven't even seen Hanyang Iron and Steel Plant and Jiangxia Textile Factory. As soon as their carriage arrived, they already saw some small jams, and there were policemen and white servants at the intersection to maintain traffic, but unlike other places, they all drove on the right side of the road, and they did not shuttle indiscriminately, so they looked at it and were not chaotic.

"Huh? Is that a factory? ”

Shangguan Tingzhi pointed with his hand, and saw an entrance not far away, with a sign erected, which said "Jingren Linen Spinning", the scale of the factory is not small, in addition to ordinary looms, there are strange machines that have not been seen.

"Is that smoking, is it the Yongxing Elephant Machine?"

"It's a lot smaller than the elephant machine, could it be an improvement?"

"Huh? How come many of the people here have even changed their head shapes? ”

"Brother Li, why don't you ask?"

"Just go!"

Li Yuanxiang was full of interest, jumped out of the carriage and stopped a male worker who was using a cart to transfer twine spindles: "Brother, this is polite, ask about the matter, is it done?" ”

"Xiao Langjun, I'm busy here, if it's been a long time, it's not good."

"Oh, it won't be long before I dare to ask. I see that in that factory, many male workers have returned their heads? Parents who suffer from the body, won't this be said to be unfilial? ”

"Oh? You say this? ”

The male worker smiled and wiped the sweat on his cheeks with a cloth towel, "Xiaolang doesn't dislike me for being rude, so I'll just talk about it." ”

About to take a break, the male worker said: "This machine is not as good as other places, and I was reluctant to cut my hair earlier, but often some people's hair is rolled in it, and female workers are fine, male workers are more rude, and some of them use strength, and they don't need female workers, so there are more male workers who are curled up." This was curled hair, and it was not for nothing that even the scalp was curled at that time. Too many times, what can I do? ”

I wanted to ask why I didn't use a towel to pick up my head, but as soon as Li Yuanxiang's mind turned, he felt that asking would only make him look stupid, so he sighed: "I see......

"How not?"

The male worker smiled, "If someone else forces it, then it will be a fight." In this situation, they are all begging for an errand to make a living, and they receive wages to support their parents and children and grandchildren, and when they see their hair, it is nothing. ”

"Yes, this is filial piety, not unfilial piety."

Li Yuanxiang arched his hand, "I'm bothering my brother, thank you." ”

"It's okay, it's okay, I still have to do things, Xiaolang is it."

His Royal Highness King Jiang, who was in a somewhat complicated mood, turned back to the carriage, and Shangguan Tingzhi hurriedly asked, "What is the reason?" But someone is persecuted? ”

"It's not that someone forced it, they all cut it themselves."

Then Li Yuanxiang told Shangguan Tingzhi about the reason for hearing it, and the "Shangguan Gang Master" suddenly looked complicated, and said with emotion: "What Brother Li said is right, these people are filial, not unfilial." ”

The carriage drove past the hemp mill, and before the two entered the city, they said in unison: "'The Demon Capital on Earth' is worthy of its name. ”
