Chapter 42: Lack of Man

Tick –

A hurried whistle sounded, followed by a long pitch, and the crowd began to shout and climb up the embankment with cheers and cheers. On the other side of the embankment, there are large and small ditch boats, as well as neat and square-like sheds.

Most of these sheds are erected with sequoia wood, and the roof is paved with bamboo boards, which are a little closer, and you can see that these bamboo boards are shiny and waterproof.

Dangdangdang......

The sound of the bell rang, and the foreman wearing a rattan hard hat was also barefoot with his sleeves rolled. In Wuhan at the moment, that kind of pullover is becoming more and more popular. The original slave workers' clothes, because of the lunch, have become the people's money-saving treasures.

"A team! A team! What about your captain? ”

"Izuku went-"

"Let's line up first! Let the second team come and get the tickets! ”

The ticket is not a paper one, but a bamboo block, which is also shiny and shiny, and the face value of the ticket is engraved with "Cao's cursive script". A meal ticket is a meal ticket, and a dish ticket is a dish ticket, and there is a slight distinction by color.

These meal tickets cannot be taken away, and each time they are distributed by the foreman of the lump sum area, and the captains of each team in the lump sum area claim them, and then go to the big canteen of the work shed to cook and cook. Meals can be taken away, so many Jiangxia people, especially the young people in the suburbs of Jiangxia, like to bring their own belongings, or wooden barrels or bamboo tubes, take the food away, and bring a copy to their wives and children.

"Ma Wu! How is it whale meat again?! ”

"I'm the foreman! It's not your mother! Love to eat, don't eat! ”

Although the foreman is called a foreman, the responsibility is far greater than the right. They are the ones who are responsible for negotiating with the Wuhan Records Division, but they are the people, even if they used to be small landlords, but they have not yet reached the level of "village sages", and they are extremely humble in the face of the "Xianggong" of the Wuhan Records Division.

However, the progress of the Baogan District was watched by the staff of the Jianghan Observation Mission, and they only asked the foreman for accountability, and would not deal with the teams in the Baogan District.

"How long this river is dug up."

The scene of eating is in full swing, and the male and female workers are divided into different sites, and some strong women can also come to do the work of carrying and digging the earth, so it has become a typical one, working on a gentle slope and soft ground. Because of this incident, there have been constant turmoil, but the Wuhan Records Department has unified its thinking, and whoever dares to make noise in the local counties will be killed!

The county order that broke the family, the order Yin who destroyed the door, who relied on the mouth cannon in the officialdom the whole time?

"The Grand Canal will be long."

"I don't know, the Grand Canal can go from my house to Liaodong!"

"Have you been to Liaodong? Do you know how long? ”

"You're not me, how do you know I don't know how long?"

Although the workers ate roughly, they did not have the habit of fighting in the shacks at every turn.

The folk custom of "having the courage to fight privately" is, in Lao Zhang's eyes, a fart at all, without any positive significance. Fang people were the best at "brave private fighting" back then, but they were overturned by the mud-legged soldiers who couldn't beat a stuffy fart for half a day. Even the most famous wave of water thieves has become a touchstone for others to be promoted and rich.

On the big construction site, who dares to use "private fighting" to prove his awesomeness and bravery, Lao Zhang will never be stingy with the stage, and often provides opportunities for such "heroes" to go heads-up.

Of course, after dozens of such performances, the "heroes" who "have the courage to fight privately" have said that it is indeed beyond their power to single out a group of heavily armed guards......

The "black households" from Huainan have successfully naturalized themselves in the Wuhan Records Division in large-scale water conservancy and agricultural projects such as "enclosing polders to build fields" and "digging canals". As for whether to go to Jiangxia or Wuchang, it is not up to these "black households" to decide, but to change by local needs.

Although the critical point of large-scale and super-large farms is getting higher and higher, and the demand for manpower is getting lower and lower, how to use the excess population stripped from the land depends on whether the conscience of the Wuhan Records Department and the lackeys of the scholars and doctors on the ground have accidentally fallen into the manure pit.

"After the Jinshui River is renovated and cleared, it can increase a lot of fertile land."

"Watering the land is expensive everywhere, and if it weren't for the fact that Wuhan still has a little spare money, it really wouldn't be able to dig a ditch, let alone dig a canal."

Zhang Qian, the secretary of Jianghan's observation envoy, looked at the fields that had begun to take shape not far away, and inspected with the officials, and he was also quite emotional.

The vicissitudes of the sea turn into mulberry fields, and the decay becomes magical, nothing more than that.

"At present, there is a great shortage of people in the sugar factories in Jiangxia and Wuchang, and there is also a shortage of people in the hemp rope factories. Zhang Jun, there are not enough people from Huainan. ”

"Where is there enough? Shipyards, pontoon yards, ship repair yards, timber silos, transshipment silos, grain silos and docks...... Fill in another tens of thousands of people who can come in. ”

There are more than 20 new silk reeling workshops set up in Jiangxia this year. Each family lacks at least ten silk reelers, and there are hundreds of silk reelers in Jiangxia, not to mention Suzhou, Yangzhou, Changzhou, Hangzhou and other high-yield areas in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

The new type of silk reeling machine has high efficiency, but the injury to workers is also increased.

As for which workshop you can expect the workers to wear expensive fig gum gloves or eucommia gum gloves, it is better to ask the workshop to throw some money to the Iron Cane Temple and ask for the iron rod to bless them with a calm sea......

Fortunately, the pursuit of profit in these workshops has no bottom line, and the cheapest ones at the moment are the barbarian women in the eastern border of Liaodong in the East China Sea, such as the Japanese women.

The busiest thing on the Yangtze River route in the East China Sea every day is not the ships that transport ceramics, sugar, and raw silk, but the "eight-year-old" that transports Japanese women and Silla women.

The profit of a boatload of widows may not be as good as that of a boatload of Shu brocade Susi, but ...... It's easy for a widow to get your hands on it. Shu brocade to weave, Su silk to produce, the widow only needs to buy it from the widow chieftain or the lord of the princely state. Kaiyuan Tongbao and China Resources Silver Dollar can be exchanged, and even directly exchanged for Susi Shu brocade, which is happy to see it.

So much so that after President Du Ruhui was directly subordinate to, the East China Sea countries exported Datang's fist products, and the most famous ones were the women at the bottom of the East China Sea countries.

The second is gold, silver, copper, iron, coal, or stone, wood, and the like.

"Zhang Jun, I still have to find a way, I heard that one of the party members in the northwest has been wiped out, Zhang Jun will see if you can inquire with the observation and get some party members to come over?"

Zhang Qian was stunned for a moment, pointed at the attendant and said with a smile, "You guy, it turns out that this is the plan." Anyway, but where did you get the shares? ”

Zhang Junming's eyes, in a small home, made a hemp rope factory. There are two shipping companies, both of which are ready to place orders with small ones, but there is a shortage of manpower at the moment. You can't raise wages under the noses of big manufacturers, and you can't go to the construction site to kidnap dozens of strong men. ”

"Okay, I've made a note of that. The party members were indeed wiped out, and they were still a big clan, and they were making trouble for a while, and the imperial court sent troops to encircle and suppress them. There will be news in a few days, if there are those who have been caught by the Fuwei Dart Bureau, you will have to bid for it yourself. ”

When the attendant heard this, he was immediately overjoyed: "Thank you for your care!" If Zhang Jun is free, he will prepare a little thin wine tonight, and ask Zhang Jun to appreciate it. ”

Zhang Qian was about to refuse, but when he saw the attendant, he whispered: "The little one has a woman, who is fifteen years old this year, and has long heard that Zhang Jun is talented and admires her." Originally, I thought that this woman had the posture of Pu Liu, even if she had a reputation as a beauty in the market, how could she enter Zhang Jun's eyes? But I can't resist her......"

"Eh, how can I underestimate people? After I am done with my official duties, I will talk about it in detail. ”

"Good, good ......"
