Good-natured laughter echoed through the streets of Qingzhou. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Looking at the old man's surprised look, Xiao Ming said: "Uncle, this is naturally true, if you don't believe it, you can go to the government office to inquire about this matter, as long as you abide by the law and discipline in Qingzhou in the future and make a living honestly, you can get Qingzhou household registration in two years." ”
"Xie Langjun, Xie Langjun." When the old man heard this, his expression was excited, he thought that he would definitely die this time, but he didn't expect to get this opportunity again, and he couldn't help but be glad for the choice he made at the beginning.
The newsboy said at this time: "The one in front of you is His Royal Highness the King of Qi, and his words will not be wrong." ”
"His Royal Highness the King of Qi?" The old man looked shocked, and when he came back to his senses, he saw that the young man had ridden away.
Standing up slowly, the old man was excited, he stuffed the three pennies to the newsboy, and said, "I bought this newspaper." ”
"Hey, I don't need any money!" The newsboy said, but the old man walked away without looking back.
This time, he went straight to the government office, and after asking about the displaced people, the official of the government told him about Qingzhou's policy of being homeless, and in the government, he also met many homeless people from other places.
These displaced people came here for the same purpose as him, to ask how to get resettled.
"The history of the exhibition just now said that you can join the construction camp, the transportation camp, and go to the mine, but now there is a shortage of people in these places, and if you have special skills, you can get Qingzhou household registration in one year."
Outside the yamen, several homeless people were discussing, and the old man also joined in.
"The construction camp, the transportation camp, and the mine are all coolies, but you can also go to the workshops of other merchants, but it's a pity that the workshops of the King of Qi don't seem to accept displaced people." One person said.
"Why?" The old man asked.
"I'm afraid that we homeless people are mixed with spies, King Qi's workshop is full of Qingzhou's secrets, it is said that all of them are slaves, unless it is some irrelevant workshop will recruit people, such as this textile workshop, I will go back and prepare to let my insiders go, one or two silver a month, enough to live in Qingzhou."
"Yes, yes." Other displaced people chimed in.
"But you don't have to be nervous, there is a lot of work in Qingzhou, as long as you are willing to endure hardships, it is no problem to eat well, I went to the dock to carry my bag, and I have 500 yuan a month."
“……”
The most important thing is that there is no messy harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes in Qingzhou, and there is no bullying of the people.
It's very free to live here.
The more the old man listened, the happier he became, so many benefits in Qingzhou were equivalent to a paradise, he bent his waist and went out of the city with a newspaper humming a small tune.
Although his stomach was rumbling with hunger, he had just received a homeless certificate, and with this homeless person, he could get two or two meters a day, and three people were six or two meters, and he had to go back and let his son and daughter come to collect this homeless certificate.
At this point, the old man walked out of the city with ease, and there was a makeshift hut in the woods outside the city, which was very simple, that is, four sticks supported some thatch.
In the thatched hut was a blackened and torn quilt, and a young girl was lighting a fire outside the thatched hut.
Seeing the old man coming back, some thin girls asked, "Dad, has you bought the rice back?" ”
The old man's face turned a little red, and he hesitated for a moment and did not answer the girl's question, but asked, "What about your brother?" ”
"My brother went to catch fish in the river." Seeing that her father's face was a little abnormal, the girl couldn't help asking, "Dad, is something wrong?" ”
At this time, she suddenly saw something in the old man's hand, and couldn't help asking, "Dad, what is in your hand?" ”
"Newspapers." The old man felt a little guilty, and regretted that he had spent the only remaining three cents on a spur of the moment.
The two were talking, when suddenly a young man's voice came, "Dad, you're back, hey, see I caught a big fish and boiled a few bowls of porridge, I won't be hungry today." ”
As he spoke, the young man lit up the grass carp in his hand, which weighed at least three catties.
The old man was a little surprised when he saw the fish, and said: "Dad didn't buy rice when he went to the city this time, but he bought a newspaper from Qingzhou, and he also got a temporary residence permit for homeless people." ”
"Newspaper, what is this?" The two wondered.
At this time, the old man told what happened in the city, and the young man looked embarrassed when he heard this, "Really, you met His Royal Highness the King of Qi, and His Royal Highness the King of Qi also said that he exempted us from our sins and let us settle down in Qingzhou?" ”
The old man smiled and couldn't help nodding, "But Your Highness said that your murder will have to be verified by the government, and the conclusion will be concluded after verification." “
The girl said to her brother at this time: "Brother, it is said that King Qi is benevolent, it seems that it is right for us to come to Qingzhou this time, and now we can finally enter the city generously, and we no longer need to worry about being hunted down."
The young man nodded heavily, looking excited, then took the newspaper in the old man's hand and read it, and said: "Sister, this matter of recruiting female workers is still a real thing, and there is a location in the textile workshop on it, but to enter the textile workshop, you have to go through competition and selection." ”
The old man said confidently: "Your sister's craftsmanship in the village is famous, let's not be afraid, let's go, without further ado, you go to apply for a temporary residence permit for displaced people, and at the same time you take your sister to the textile workshop to see if you can get in, if you go in, our family will settle down in Qingzhou." ”
The young man nodded, and took the girl to Qingzhou City impatiently.
……
In the military workshop, Xiao Ming is inspecting the artillery ready to be sent to Chang'an.
In these days when he was in Cangzhou, the military workshop had been busy, in addition to producing artillery for the fiefdom, it was also producing export-oriented artillery.
In order to make the military workshop more hidden, this military workshop Xiao Ming was specially set up in the camel mountain outside Qingzhou City.
There is only one mountain road to enter the camel mountain from Qingzhou City, and the camel mountain is rarely visited on weekdays, so the military workshop is more and more difficult to be spied on.
Because people often enter the mountain, they will be discovered by the guards who protect the military workshop and immediately expelled.
"Your Highness, these hundred guns are here, according to His Highness's orders, in order to reduce the firing range, the barrels of the cannons are shorter, and in general, it would be good to have half the firing range of ours."
The military workshop is located in a valley deep in the mountains, and there is only one road leading to the outside world, and outside the military workshop is a large courtyard where artillery can be test-fired.
Xiao Ming nodded, in addition to shortening the barrel length of the cannon, the gunpowder sent this time was also the traditional black powder, not his particle gunpowder.
In this way, this is enough to guarantee their superiority in military weapons.
It was still shocking that a hundred artillery pieces were lined up in the courtyard of the military workshop, and he said: "Well, it's very good, now pull out a cannon and test fire, let this king see how the performance is?" ”
