2028: Enter Luo
Although Lu Town is called a town, it is actually the seat of Lu County. There are more than 3,000 households in the entire town, with a population of nearly 20,000, most of them live on the Yang family. The workshops in Qi are not like the Ming Dynasty that have fully implemented the assembly line-based large factory model. They basically join in the form of handicraft workshops. Each household is a small workshop, some are fighting alone, and some are organized by relatives and neighbors.
But they all have one common characteristic, that is, they all get orders from Yang's family, get raw materials, and then go home to produce them according to the standards set by Yang's family, and finally hand them over to Yang's family.
When Yang spoke in Lu Town, it was more effective than the county magistrates here. Without Yang, these people even had a problem with eating.
Yang Xun and Yang Su had just entered Lu Town, and immediately many people rushed up and surrounded them. These people were some intermediate foremen in Lu Town. They subcontracted some work from Yang's family and then sent it to retail investors below. Since the beginning of this year, business has been bleak and everyone has barely been wrapped around. As time goes by, checkout has become more and more difficult. So far, Yang has owed them a lot of money, but even so, everyone still hopes to get the work. After all, if you have something to do, you still have some confidence in your heart.
Yang's reputation has always been very good. Although he often owe money, he never misses his debts.
"Boss Wang, can we start work today?"
"Boss Wang, can you settle some accounts first? There are a few families below me who can no longer break the blame."
"Boss Wang, you have a wide range of ways. Can you get some affordable food? The price of grain is one day now, which is too expensive. If the price can be lower, everyone can support it for a longer time."
When he came to Lu Town and saw these people who were relying on him to make a living, Yang Xun's previously gloomy mood finally recovered. He was just a businessman, and he was doing his best to make these people live.
He was already a little desperate, but now he has finally found a new way.
"Everyone!" He pressed his hands and signaled everyone to calm down.
He looked around the people who were looking forward to it with pride and shouted: "I came here today to tell you good news. I have found a way and got the goods. All of us will have work to do next."
The people around him immediately shouted loudly.
"Boss Wang is Gao Ming."
"It's our blessing to follow Boss Wang!"
Overwhelmed by the cheers of the crowd, Yang Xun also had a happy face, "I have to do my best to follow me, Mr. Yang, and I have to do my best. Some time ago, we were in a difficult situation. Mr. Yang owed everyone a lot of money, but everyone trusted me and did not ask me for the account. I would like to thank everyone here. I would like to give it to you and repay it with my pet. Of course, I would not treat everyone badly. Today, I came here, one to arrange the next production, and the other to settle some of the money for everyone. Although it cannot be paid off completely, at least we can celebrate the New Year and not let everyone celebrate the New Year on hungry."
There were cheers coming from around again.
"Let's go to the warehouse, let's sit down and talk slowly." Yang Xun waved his hand, and immediately someone came up to take the horse for Yang Xun and Yang Su. A group of people surrounded the two brothers and walked towards the Yang family's warehouse in the town.
As the Yang Xun brothers walked along the way, more and more people surrounded him on the street, and almost all the county towns emerged. Whether young, strong, old, weak, men or women, almost everyone is closely related to the Yang family's industry. Only when the Yang family is good can they be better. Now that the Yang family has found a new source of goods and has settled their debts. In their eyes, this is the birth of the Wan family.
In the county government office, the county magistrate Cheng Wannian twisted his beard and looked at the scene of the crowds greeting the Yang brothers without saying a word. A master beside him whispered: "Master, this is not a good thing. In this county seat, the master's words are not as good as their Yang brothers!"
Cheng Wannian glanced at Master, "What do you want to say?"
When the master saw Cheng Wannian's face looked very bad, he beat him up and never dared to continue talking.
"The whole form is not very good now. Our Lu Town is in Luoyang. Now it is a unique place. No one fled, no one died of starvation. No matter what the Yang brothers did, the superiors will think that this is my credit. If there is no Yang, how can tens of thousands of people in this county work? I know that your little thoughts are just a loss in Yang's place? I advise you not to think about taking revenge on him, otherwise I will not need to deal with you. The heads of the constables in the yamen will give you the best.
You are stumbling, they are all local people in the town. Those officials are not old people in the town, the iron-beating county government, the iron-beating officials, the flowing officials, the master, I will leave here, maybe I will leave and not cause trouble. If this year continues like this, I am still planning to do another term here. At this time, I will not want to leave as a prefect. Who can be quiet here, and nothing to do, everything is safe, isn't that good?"
The master quit and retreated.
Cheng Wannian let out a long breath. In addition to the benefits he mentioned above, he also has disadvantages, that is, he is not responsible for his words. Here, he is almost the head of the Yang family, and he is just a decoration.
If it was in the peaceful years, he would certainly not be able to endure such a thing, and let a merchant ride on his head. But now, it is necessary to say that in the territory of Qi, there have been countless officials killed by mobs in the past two years. Not to mention the county magistrate, even the prefect and the county magistrates would have their lives lost.
In the chaotic times, peace is better than anything else. After surviving this time and truly peace is the time to seek advancement. Now I yearn for climbing up, that is, I don’t take my life seriously!
Thinking of this, I felt balanced and decided to have a few drinks after returning to the Houya. Anyway, the Yang brothers were back, and the people in the county had something to do and money to get it, and everything was back on the existing track.
All he had to do was to send the squads to various intersections and block the refugees who wanted to go into Lu Town. Those people were the source of chaos and they would never be allowed to enter Lu Town.
The county master can be lazy and can drink beautiful wine with beauties. The Yang brothers are not as comfortable as this. Although the Yang family's production base is in Lu Town, they only have a few large warehouses in it, which are used for delivery. In the past few months, both the raw material warehouse and the finished product warehouse are empty and deserted. After the two arrived here, the people guarding the warehouse quickly made fires and boiled water for their usual residences. After working for an hour, the house became warm and warm.
At this time, although the people sitting in the house discussing matters were so cold that their faces turned blue and their noses were bubbled, they were all very excited. According to the arrangement of the boss, there was no need to worry about anything this winter this year.
They were busy until late at night, and the Yang brothers finally distributed the work plans one by one according to the raw material lists brought back by Yang Su, and settled some of the previous debts. In the entire county, laughter and joy finally returned to the entire county town. When smoke from each household was emitting smoke again, the Yang brothers fell asleep tiredly.
Some people just enjoy their lives, like Cheng Wannian, and do nothing, just keeping ready-made enjoyment. Some people are born to be hard-working and busy, and have to bear countless risks.
Three days later, the first batch of goods finally arrived in Lu Town. When they saw trucks of cotton, trucks of cotton cloth, trucks of wire, and trucks of hemp ropes entering the warehouse, Yang Xun's heart, which was still a little nervous, finally settled down.
Entry into the warehouse.
The Ming people are indeed very good at it. It is actually easy to tell that these goods are not produced locally in Daqi, because the quality is just where it is placed. Even if the Ming people come with their domestic unqualified products, they can definitely meet the production standards of the Qi people in Qi.
What really made Yang Xun a little scared was the person who came to the goods. This person was Yu Changyuan, and he actually returned to Luoyang without much concealment.
Although more than ten years have passed, Yu Changyuan was a sensible figure in Luoyang back then, and there were definitely many people who knew him.
He asked Yang Su to arrange Yu Changyuan specifically, but he called all the managers and sub-contractors over as he had nothing to do and distributed the things according to the plan agreed earlier. After finishing all this, the day passed like this.
"Master Yu, you are really brave. If those people know that you are back, you might as well get a treasure!" Yang Xun, who returned to the hut, greeted Yu Changyuan with a glass of wine, and was still a little scared. "Master Yu, after this trip, you stayed in Lu Town. Here, although I, Yang, cannot cover the sky with one hand, there is still no problem covering most of the sky. There is absolutely no problem with your safety here."
Yu Changyuan laughed: "I appreciate Brother Yang's kindness, but when I come back, it's not for nostalgia, but for something to do. I have to go back in Luoyang."
"Brother Yu, Luoyang City is not as good as Lu Town. Although it is not far apart, it is actually two worlds!"
"It doesn't matter, Brother Yang, aren't you also looking for our Ming Dynasty now? I believe that in Luoyang City, there are definitely not a few people looking for our Ming Dynasty." Yu Changyuan smiled.
"Brother Yu, I'm going to tell you that there are more people in Luoyang City who are stubborn." Yang Xun sighed: "After all of us who can clearly understand the real situation is a minority."
"It's okay!" Yu Changyuan smiled: "In less than two days, everyone in Luoyang City will know what the real world is like like you. At that time, when I go to Luoyang again, there will definitely be more people coming to hug my thighs."—
