All kinds of meetings, in fact, life is not very good, especially after a few blows, it is even more depressed.

However, their vitality is really strong, and after all, there are always many gray areas for them to wander in, so although they have not grown, they have not disappeared.

This group of unscrupulous people who used to lend money in the gambling house or watch people in the green building every day have now found a way to make money.

Hundreds of thousands of these people began to enter the inland by various means, going to Guangxi, Yunnan, Guizhou, Fujian and Guangdong, and other places, and all the checkpoints and inspections along the way were bought by various means, or bought, or bribes, and soon, they and the guards of various inspections and checkpoints were in cahoots with them, and even in Fujian and Guangdong and other places, these people privately got sea boats, opened up the joints of sea inspections, and then began to frantically recruit coolies.

Although the gentry and officials scoffed at it, some of those who had already gone to Langshan to find a way out always had some letters sporadically, and those who had hooked up with the local Laizi together, these markets were all exaggerated, saying that Langshan was a mountain of gold, and people as long as they went, they had enough food to eat while lying down, and they had no worries about food and clothing, and the grain there was all knotted on the trees, and there was no need to cultivate, just pick it by hand, and it was not even necessary to remove the shell, and it could be eaten directly.

It seems that as long as you go to Jiaozhi, you can have no worries about food and clothing in this life, eat and drink spicy food, and feel very comfortable.

This is a gray industrial chain, from the meeting gate to the officials, and even many local pundits collude with each other, and then 'trick' people into the ship and sail out to sea. A boatload of people went directly to Haiphong to land, or to guò by land, and the road guide was secretly issued. Some even forged them directly, and even if they did not forge them, the officers and men along the way did not make it difficult, turned a blind eye to them, and allowed them to pass at will.

In this meeting, there is also a certain amount of organization, which people are in contact with the workshop. How much money is willing to pay for people in the workshop, and how to contain these people when they get to the place. There are also those who specialize in dealing with officials from all over the world, and even according to the size and importance of officials, there are strict rules on how much ice and carbon are usually respected. These provisions. As for the cooperation with the provinces in the Popi and Daomen, Huimen, how to share the profits, there is no sloppiness, at first they were just a small fight, but later, because of the more and more tense manpower of Jiaozhi, they began to intensify their efforts, Jiaozhi here. Most of them turned a blind eye, and they even began to build private ships on a large scale. They are all huge fortune ships, occupying the islands along the coast, using these islands as a base for supplies, frantically transferring a boatload of people to Jiaozhi, and when they arrive at Jiaozhi, they have someone to answer, and after arranging all of these, they will inevitably begin to show their original colors, suing them, people are in a foreign land, you are helpless, and you want to settle down, we can help, but you need to sign a contract of sale, five years, and then someone will provide you with food, clothing, and accommodation, but in these five years, all the wages will inevitably belong to the gate.

In fact, most of the people who were resold were poor people who had no food and clothing, they had no roof tiles, no food and clothing, for them, when they came here, they could have a bite of food to eat, it was already the ancestor of the accumulation of virtue, at this time they heard that the rice was full, but they wanted to work for people, they actually felt that this was a gift, but they were also happy. Some people who are not happy, naturally there are also people who specialize in 'teaching', and the means of meeting are probably the same.

This kind of business, as Lang Son has an increasing demand for the population, especially the Han people, who are even more thirsty for 'people', because the Chinese dialect is spoken in Jiaozhi, and if it is other people, the language is not understood, and the workshop needs to cooperate with the work, if they can't even understand the language, how to make the laborers cooperate with each other.

As soon as these people landed, they either went directly to various workshops to do apprenticeship, or they went to various mines, from Siam to Cochin.

As the trade became more and more prosperous, the business naturally grew, and the Huimen took this opportunity to develop vigorously, so that the number of people who landed on the shore increased like a snowball, and even the number of people entering the customs every day was as high as thousands.

For these gates, on the one hand, the government is turning a blind eye, on the other hand, there are also guidance, such as if the door is too presumptuous, it will inevitably knock one or two, if you dare to make trouble, or the homeless people are too ruthless, they will never be polite, and they will have to seal your property and teach you to have nothing to hide.

Therefore, everyone gradually, but also figured out the rules of the government, know the rules of the Hao family, although this line is profitable, but it must be long-term, but it must not be excessive, cross the red line, patrol and arrest to teach you to be a man in minutes, since you don't want to do this business, cut you off today, and some people will do it tomorrow.

Therefore, although they also know that they are more rude and earn more money, such as forcing good people to become prostitutes, using labor as private slaves, signing a deed of sale for more than five years, or beating and scolding labor at will, etc., but they already have huge profits, if the means are too much, they may be attacked by the government at any time. Chief', dozens of shops were closed, directly copied the house, people took it, and threw it to the Siam mine to do coolies, and soon, the trade of this meeting door was replaced by another meeting, in this way, it gave each meeting door enough vigilance, if you want to be long, if you want to live in peace, you have to follow the rules, within the allowable range, people follow how you get rich, cross the line, even if the patrol bureau can't hold you, Lang Shanwei will also be dispatched, and when the time is hit by the target, then it will really want to cry without tears and regret it.

Lang Son Yamen here, there are also statistics on household registration, according to their predictions, the population continues to grow like this, I am afraid that it will not be long before the population of Hermes-Epitek will exceed five million, this is just a place of Jiaozhi, Siam, the population is also growing steadily, the increase in population has indeed greatly promoted the prosperity here, the storefronts began to become insufficient, not only that, the supply of many daily necessities has also begun to become difficult, but fortunately, this is the thoroughfare of the world, where there is a lack of anything, the price will inevitably rise slightly, When some people see that it is profitable, they will naturally try their best to transport these things over and make a lot of money, so although the recent price fluctuations are very strong, it has also indirectly made commerce and trade more prosperous.

The construction of the railway, has begun to have an eyebrow, the first railway, after the financing has begun to start, fortunately in the engineering bureau, there are some specialized talents have been called here, so the terrain has been explored in advance, yes, the progress is quite smooth, money, grain, craftsmen, labor have been prepared, the first railway from Lang Son to Haiphong has also begun to build, the railway bureau here, Xia Yuanji is in charge, step by step, there is nothing wrong, but in the process of the project, it is inevitable to encounter trouble, This matter of splitting the mountain and building a bridge is by no means easy, but this railway, in fact, has some experimental elements, but there is no limit to the construction period, just to improve everyone's skill level, in the process of construction, find some problems, and then think of solutions.

Xia Yuanji's role is also highlighted, his sleeves are clean, the greatest amount of time to put an end to the greedy ink, if the track is shoddy, or someone cuts corners in the process of building the bridge, the impact on the project is huge. In addition, he had experience in river control in the past, so he was also quite pragmatic, and took some bookstores to inspect the line every day and led people to overcome problems. As for the dispatch of money, it is his forte, this former minister, handy, slowly surged into it, but also happy and happy.

At this time, Hao Fenglou had already left, and half a month ago, he had already crossed Guangxi and went directly to Jinling.

On the third day of the ninth month, Jinling had arrived in front of him, and returned to the familiar Chaoyangmen, and the dusty Hao Fenglou led a team of people to the city gate, and saw the old acquaintance.

The person who came was wearing a python robe, and behind him were some civil and military officials, all smiling, and the idlers nearby had already been driven away, so they looked very empty.

The person who came was the crown prince Zhu Gaochi.

Zhu Gaochi stepped forward, Hao Fenglou didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said: "Weichen Hao Fenglou, I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Zhu Gaochi waved his hand very magnanimously, and said: "No need to be polite, no need to be polite, this palace is ordered by my father to welcome our great heroes of the Ming Dynasty, how about it, I'm afraid I'm tired all the way, hey...... My father has always said that you are a model for hundreds of officials, and it is really hard to fight in the south and the north, and we are Ming, what we lack is a loyal and good general like you......"

Zhu Gaochi was like a spring breeze, and he didn't show any alienation, but Hao Fenglou didn't dare to be careless in front of him, and said with a smile: "Your Highness has a good reputation, and Weichen is just within his ability." ”

Seeing that Hao Fenglou was neither hot nor cold, Zhu Gaochi didn't care, so he invited Hao Fengupstairs to a specially arranged soft sedan chair, and he also got into the sedan chair, and the group entered the palace without mentioning it.

Sitting in the sedan chair, Hao Fenglou was indeed a little tired, leaning on a nap, and at some point, someone outside called: "My lord, I have arrived at the noon gate." ”

Hao Fenglou took a deep breath and got out of the sedan chair.
