Tobero

Chapter 229

Tu Hao originally planned to return to Tu's house on the tenth day of the first month, but he waited until the fourteenth day of the first month.

One day at home was to pack their things, and then they went to work immediately, and they didn't forget to pack a group of Xu's children before leaving.

Most of this group of people are young, that is, twenty Langdang.Among them are some old dandies, such as Xu Hongxuan, the biggest dandy of the Xu family.

As long as Xu Mingxu thinks that his own father will follow him for a long way, he will feel awkward, and after getting off the carriage, his face will still be stinky.

Tu Hao wanted to laugh, and put his elbow on his waist: "Okay, have a smile? Today's weather is so good."

After more than a year of construction, the fish wharf in Jing County is no longer what it used to be.The fish pier where fishermen moor, and the passenger and cargo wharf for passenger and large ships have been completely independent.In order to prevent people from going wrong, there are also guide signs with simple pictures in prominent positions.

It's not yet spring, the willows by the river look a little green from a distance, and the peach branches are also a little pink.Occasionally, there are a few exquisite or rough pavilion stone benches mixed in it.I don't know if it's the early visitors or the passing guests, wandering in it, there are some vague laughter and silk and bamboo sounds.

Some women are washing vegetables by the river.At the fish market not far away, the cries of fishermen with a Yurao accent could be heard.

There are many teahouses, restaurants and guest houses.There are a few that haven't opened yet, and they are neatly tidied up.Along the warehouse by the river, they walked neatly for a long time, and Tu Hao couldn't see the side even if he stood on tiptoe.Some coolies who moved the goods sat in groups under the wall where the sun could shine, speaking in various accents.

Xu Hongxuan and the other two generations of young and middle-aged dudes got out of the carriage one after another, and all of them had already put on their spring shirts.Ignoring the current weather, let the cool breeze by the river bring up the silky and light robe corners on their bodies, making each of them look ecstatic.

There are not many embroidery on the clothes, replaced by buttons made of shells, pearls and precious stones.

Tu Hao took a closer look, and found that there were still sequins—it should be sequins polished from shells, embroidered all over the entire belt like fish scales, it was not so conspicuous under the blouse, but once reflected by the sun, it would smudge. The colorful color is extraordinarily low-key and luxurious.

Such novel and elegant clothes, coupled with the good looks of the Xu family, turned an ordinary wharf into a runway for catwalks, attracting many people to stop and watch.

In the nearby teahouse and restaurant, people poked their heads out one after another, and some directly greeted them loudly, obviously they had acquaintances.This group of dudes had a lot of friends on weekdays, and they chatted with people very quickly.

It's not yet time for the boat tickets they booked.Xu Mingxu didn't want to get in touch with his own father, and was willing to help the leader and the boy carry things. When he heard Tu Hao's words, he just grinned, "Hehe."

"Pfft." Tu Hao was amused by his appearance, "Okay, I won't bother you anymore. I'll go take a look around."

If it was in the past, Xu Mingxu would definitely follow. Now, after struggling a lot, he still decided not to go. He just told Tu Hao: "Don't go too far, let's go to the teahouse in a while."

"Okay." Tu Hao agreed, pacing with his hands behind his back, looking like a lieutenant, he returned to his normal walking posture after taking two steps.

A notice board is erected on the passenger and cargo terminal, posting the time and route of the daily ferry, as well as a simple small map of the terminal.

There is also a decent ticketing and waiting hall next to it.

The content on the bulletin board here is more detailed.In the past, there was one boat every day from Yurao to Jing County, but now there are three boats every day.There are also some other short-distance routes, as well as some special routes and charter services that can be booked, all of which are clearly marked.

Tu Hao thought that when he was free, he could get a luxury yacht for fun, it must be very cool, very rich!Yachts are usually tied to the pier for people to admire~

The waiting hall is very large, and there is also a waiting hall for female guests.Most of the people probably left on the first boat, but now there are not many people in the hall, and it looks even more spacious.

Tu Hao glanced casually, and noticed that there were not a few people wearing new-style clothes with buttons.Some are shirting coats that are completely similar to modern clothing, and some are just elements that have buttons added to the shirts.Perhaps it is because most of the people who can travel by boat these days are wealthy families, or it may be because the capital city is the popular center of this era, and people accept new things without any effort at all.

Two teenagers dressed as soldiers patrolled the waiting hall with serious expressions.

Tu Hao took a closer look: "Zeng Shiqi?"

Heitan NO.17, who hasn't gotten much whiter in the winter, grinned: "Master Xiaotu, are you going to take a boat?"

Tu Hao stared at the white teeth, always feeling very sharp, and he calmed down and said, "Yes. What are you doing?" He remembered that Zeng Shiqi was in charge of giving military training to dudes ?

The uncle from the family wants to marry the eldest girl from the Ye family. Although this matter has not been publicized yet, it is almost certain.Zeng Shiqi felt that he was already Tu Hao's legitimate younger nephew, so he became a little closer when he spoke: "Isn't this the bandit suppression last year, so I didn't tell anyone." Then he was punished.

He was considered good, and the rest were fined to guard the embankment and the market.Mainly catching thieves.The bricks and stones used on the embankment, newly planted seedlings, and even stone tables and benches, as long as they can be moved, can be stolen.There are everyone in the market. "Thanks to this", there is no shortage of coolies now.

Tu Hao was stunned for a while, and then asked: "Are there still many people here in Jing County who can't get enough to eat?"

People have evil thoughts in their hearts, more or less.But there are very few people who can put this kind of evil into practice.Petty theft may seem like a petty evil, but the nature is the same.

He believes that when life is passable, few people will do evil.Now that this problem is to be treated as a matter that requires additional manpower, it is obvious that the situation is more serious.

Xu Mingxu used to be the county magistrate in Jing County, and the current county magistrate is also practical.As a place under the eyes of the emperor, there is no room for falsification in the data reported by Jing County every year.

The rise in the overall living standards of the people in Jing County is obvious to all.Among the so-called white men, there are indeed a small number of people who can earn a consistent amount or more in a month; but there are quite a few who can earn more than five hundred yuan; Having an income of three or four hundred wen is enough for them to live a decent life in Jing County.

How much is the sapling on the edge of the river bank?The seedlings that those shopkeepers planted by themselves may be older, and the seedlings that Master Baiyun and his students go to wholesale are only three to five yuan a tree.What's more, if you steal it, you have to sell it to make money.Anyone want this sapling?

In the past, when life was difficult, there was no such serious theft. Now that life is better, how could the situation become worse?

Zeng Shiqi said: "Except for some bums, most of them are foreigners."

As he said, it was time to hand over the shift, so he simply took Tu Hao to the fish pier.Just now when Tu Hao got off the carriage, he didn't pay attention to it. When he walked in, he realized that a small seafood food street had naturally formed here. There are octopus balls, shrimp crap and so on.

He took a closer look, and sure enough, he saw the snack shop with the emblem of Liangchen Restaurant, and immediately sat in with Zeng Shiqi.

He ordered a bunch of food according to the menu, all the bums and outsiders forgot.

When Xu Mingxu came to find him, he saw his mouse fell into the "rice bucket" again. He wanted to take care of it, but he could only press the button for the time being because he was in the way of outsiders. After exchanging greetings, he heard Zeng Shiqi talking about the current situation in Jing County .

"Most of these foreigners came from a few neighboring counties. Many people just heard that it is easy to find a job in Jing County and the wages are high, so they came here. Some of them have relatives in Jing County at home, so they come to join relatives."

Xu Mingxu didn't quite understand: "Is the road guide issued? It costs a lot to come this way, right? Maybe they can find a job?"

He has traveled to many places and knows the differences between places.For example, Yurao and Jing County, two counties that are almost adjacent, both have good economic conditions, but the difference is huge.

It is indeed easy to find a job in Jing County, but this ease is actually more for the locals.In addition to some considerations of basic knowledge, most of the local people have participated in training courses, are literate and have mastered a skill.

Here in Jing County, there are various training courses, and it is very easy to sign up for it, and the cost is also very cheap.

But in Yurao, there are training classes, that is, basic literacy and literacy classes, and there are very, very few other specialized vocational trainings, let alone some training classes such as calligraphy and painting.

This is because Yurao's conditions are good. Zheng Han, as a local official, has greatly improved the local economy after two years of operation. The county government has become rich, and he has the consciousness and spare capacity to develop in this area.

But what about other places?Like Rao Song, or the place west of Rao Song, the gap is not a little bit.People from these places come to Jing County to find jobs, and it is difficult to compete with ordinary people in Jing County.

The wages paid for jobs in Jing County are indeed high, but the requirements are also high, and the prices in Jing County are even higher.Can you survive without any skills, so blindly looking for a job?Even, do they have enough money to go home?

Tu Hao understood.In later generations, these people have a proper term called blind flow.

"Most people still have guides, and some don't. Now the county government is also in a dilemma. There are too many people, and there is no way to guard them. Leave them alone, and they live on the streets again. These days it is still cold at night, and the county government is still waiting. We have to keep an eye on them, otherwise many of them will freeze to death. Some of them were caught committing crimes and directly served as Xiang troops. There is no good way for the rest.” A teenage boy, who met Things only know the front, and I have never encountered such a difficult thing.

Tu Hao ate his food slowly. The octopus inside the small meatballs was big and numerous. It was almost a ball made of pure octopus meat. Compared with the cosplay version of the vegetable-only octopus balls he ate before, he didn’t know. How many.There is even mayonnaise, seaweed and sesame seeds, the only thing missing is that there is no ketchup.

There were ten small octopus balls in a serving, and Tu Hao ate two, but Xu Mingxu moved the bowl away. After waiting for a while, he found that Xu Mingxu would not give him any more, so he could only say angrily, "How many are there in total?" People? Why don’t you ask the county magistrate, how about replacing a small octopus ball with another person?”

Zeng Shiqi looked confused.In his impression, the little butcher was a very serious person, despite his tender appearance, he was actually extremely cruel.How...how could he be a foodie? !

its not right.The meaning of the little butcher's words must be to give him a step down.Thinking of the group of people who are annoying them so much now, he didn't need to discuss with the county magistrate, and he agreed directly: "Deal!"

The author has something to say:

Little Mouse (⁠”⁄): Do you think we are missing something?
