However, Xianghe County has suffered continuous military disasters in the past two years.

First, there was a mutiny in Jizhen. The rebels and the officials fought for a long time, and the sky was dark. The dead people were full of corpses. When they were anxious, both sides began to capture soldiers to prevent the war resources from being taken away by the enemy.

These military disasters completely destroyed the local small peasant economy, causing many farmers to die.

When their family was in chaos, my father saw that the situation was not good. They decisively made all the food into dry food, and fled to the capital with one person and a sack of dry food on their backs.

In the past two years, their family has worked odd jobs everywhere in the capital and slept in dilapidated temples. At least it has been maintained. It is also because of the industrialization of the Yang family in the capital, the capital has become much more prosperous and has relatively more job opportunities.

Wang Zhuer found a job to carry a large bag of money on the wharf and calculated the money according to the piece count. This job is not available every day. Only when a boat comes can there be a chance to unload the boat. They were a group of coolies standing on the shore and waiting.

His husband's family and the refugee's family all ran to the North Street of Imperial City to find a livelihood, because this is the easiest place for the people to find a way out.

This place was developed by Dingyuan Hou, and the yamen runners and gangsters dare not come to blackmail. Some of them were blinded before, but they were beaten by the security team and could not get up. After that, no one came to blackmail again.

There is no need to pay taxes when setting up street stalls here, which makes the people happy. Moreover, if you make money, you don’t need to respect the yamen, servants, and thugs. They are all their own. How can such good things happen in the world?

Not long after, this paradise-like good place became completely prosperous. It was a paradise for setting up street stalls. On both sides of the eight-kilometer road, beside the green belt, under willow trees, and under street lights, there were street stalls full of street stalls. I couldn’t find a place if I came late.

As soon as the sky was dawn, many people came to take up space. At night, there were street lights here. They were brightly lit all night long. However, street stalls were only allowed to open until the end of the middle. After all, the curfew was not completely cancelled, so Chongzhen here specially made a favour and allowed to open until the end of the middle.

The main ones are those commercial streets that can bring taxes. The commercial street developed by Yang Fan was the only business that was willing to pay commercial taxes in the Ming Dynasty. There is a commercial tax of 200,000 taels a year.

On both sides of the cement road on the north street of Huangcheng Street, on the sidewalks, there were many people occupying the road and setting up street stalls at the beginning. The order was very chaotic. Residents in the community complained.

The security team in the community went to drive it away in the early days, but was later stopped by Yang Fan.

Although these people occupy the road and set up street stalls, they lower the surrounding environment of the community, after all, they also give lower-class people a chance to support their families.

Yang Fan instructed the security team not to cause trouble for them as long as they close the stalls, take the garbage away when they take it away, and do not add burden to the cleaners.

However, it is not possible to manage it.

The security team used paint to mark the outside of the sidewalk, two meters wide and three meters long, as the area of ​​a street stall. Moreover, it would be charged a copper coin a day. This money was used to subsidize the cleaning workers who swept the streets. After all, it added a work burden to them.

The security team will also protect the safety of these small vendors after collecting money, ensuring that no one comes to blackmail or destroy.

Now, the eight-kilometer-long Huangcheng North Street has four meters wide on both sides of the north and south sides, and is covered with cement-hardened pavement. Because people are still walking in this era.

That's why Yang Fan set the sidewalk to four meters wide and separated from the three meters wide bicycle lane with green belts. Now Yangfu's bicycle factory has been listed for financing. There is nothing difficult about bicycles.

Bearings and rubber tires are difficult points. However, they have been solved. Recycled waste rubber is used to make solid tires. The gear structure is used for bicycle transmission. The gear structure efficiency is much higher than that of the chain.

Nowadays, bicycles and human-powered tricycles have begun to be launched. Tricycles have become a new professional group. Rickshaws in the Republic of China have not appeared, and tricyclists are all over the streets by then. Now, people in Beijing can choose to steam cars or take taxis when traveling, which is a human-powered tricycle that can be parked on the street.

What makes Beijingers even more popular is that there are calcium carbide street lights and green belts on both sides of this high-end road, which is the favorite place for Beijingers to take a walk.

The calcium carbide lamp is very strong, illuminating the road and far away from both sides. It is the same as during the day. It is just a bit of gas smell. It is a bit of a flaw.

There are now two options for lighting: whale oil and calcium carbide lamps, but calcium carbide lamps are cheaper. Modern calcium carbide is about 2,700 yuan per ton of soft girl coins. One ton of calcium carbide is enough on this street. The entire Huangcheng North Street and the communities on both sides of the world, plus the commercial streets on three sides of the Gulou, as well as the Grand Theater, Exchange, Xinghe Department Store, Xinghe Supermarket, and library, etc., consume less than two tons of calcium carbide in a day.

The place is clean and lively. The most important thing is that the security team is very good. There are often people from the security team riding bicycles, carrying sticks, and patrolling.

There are lawns and willow trees, bus stations, public toilets, and free drinking water points. There is a steam engine well house on each side of the road, which uses a steam engine to pump water. These well houses are all opened on the street. Many people in Beijing come here to buy water.

Because of the good environment and perfect facilities, this place quickly became a night market and a flea market.

The people spontaneously make a living here, and it is also a good place for leisure and entertainment.

Wang Zhuer's wife's family is poor on the streets on the south side of Jiaodaokou area.

Sewing poverty is an ancient profession, which is to set up street stalls on the street and sew damaged clothes.

There are many bachelors in the capital, or men who work here from home. In this era, men not only do not go to the kitchen, but also do not have any work such as needlework and thread.

When their clothes were torn, they went to the street to find these poor women who were sewing them.

They don’t charge much, usually only one copper coin. If they work more, they will just charge two more copper coins.

When Jiannu besieged the city, the wharf and the shipping warehouse were all stopped. Wang Zhuer had no plans to work. Fortunately, his family had a poor business, and he barely starved to death when he worked odd jobs everywhere.

Wang Zhuer's wife had just sewed a threaded pants for a customer and collected a copper coin. She was about to continue sewing the next one. When she saw her head, she came over quickly.

"Xiu'er, don't sew anymore, follow me quickly." Wang Zhu'er pulled the whole family up and ran away.

The person waiting for is a teacher.

When walking, I accidentally hung it on the thorns and opened my pants. Scholars are very particular about decentness. How can they see people when they are exposed fur pants? I quickly clamped my legs and walked here with a twisted look for someone to mend them.

Seeing that he was in line, the woman was pulled away.

He immediately said anxiously: "That sister-in-law, you can't leave. I paid the money. What should I do if you leave?"
