Chapter 374: Not afraid of thieves stealing, but afraid of thieves thinking
County Magistrate Xi saw the eyes of everyone, and he couldn't help but smile.
The Marquis of the Sea Defense Officer Hao Fenglou once looked for him and talked about the affairs of the Annan family. The Magistrate of Xi knew that the Hao family had tried his best to do this today. Their calculations must be as simple as providing protection to the Annan family, but clearly had other plans.
However... these plans have nothing to do with you. The career of Xi County Magistrate has never been smooth. It is nothing more than being ugly and being ranked last in the imperial examination. In fact, most of the people who can come to Annan to be an official. However, others can still exploit their mission in other prefectures and counties, constantly respecting them and trying their best to strive for the best. Xi County Magistrate is an official in other fiefdoms. To put it bluntly, even if you want to be greedy, it is not your turn. This is the sorrow of the fief officials. This is the private property of others. Their eyes are staring at you on the back of their heads. Apart from being honest, you are about to go to prison for dinner.
The magistrate Xi County can already foresee his future, which is nothing more than a hopeless future. He will always be wandering in such mountainous areas. If he is lucky, he will only be divided into Guangxi or Yunnan and Guizhou. He is already quite old and cannot stand the trouble, so he simply clings to the Hao family. The Hao family is in its prime now. If they are willing to recommend and operate in the temple, they may have a future in the future. Of course, with his qualifications, such a future is limited. If he can go to Huguang to be the prefect of any party, he will be satisfied. If he can be transferred to the three departments of Guangxi and Yunnan and Guizhou, it will be that the ancestral tomb is smoke.
The Hao family's request is now subject to every request. No matter what the Hao family plans, he will do his best and not ask about it.
So in the past few days, he was worried about labor and welcomed and sent off every day, and almost treated these Annan people as their uncles. His words were extremely polite, but he didn't feel bored.
Everyone sat here, and County Magistrate Xi told some jokes as usual to relax everyone's mood. Soon, County Magistrate Xi said seriously: "You are here to take refuge. Alas... Jiaozhi is not peaceful, and the court is also worried. The Marquis of Luzhou share the worries for the king, and also observes the people's conditions. He knows your difficulties. Therefore, he is just Langshan for you to bow down. Fortunately, Langshan. Since he has come, he must take good care of you. You are all kind families and cannot be simple and slow."
After pausing, he said, "I am afraid this war will not be completed in just a few years, so now all the inns, business stores, and marquis in Lang Son have ordered people to keep some places. If you don't think it is simple, you can stay temporarily, but this is not a long-term solution. You can keep your family with your family, how can you stay in that noisy place in the inn? You have to have a long-term plan to accomplish it. There is a prescription on the Hao family. Can you tell me where the Luzhou Marquis Mansion is?"
How many people knew about it and couldn't help but say, "Can you go upstream of Liangshui, between Tongshan Jihe County?"
Xi County Magistrate He nodded and said, "Yes, the mountains and rivers are beautiful and the vast land is also there. The Hao family has a huge land there. Therefore, the Marquis of Luzhou thought, why don't you take it out and distribute it to you, and you will build your own mansion. The place is not only quiet, but also the Marquis' Mansion is located. It is strictly guarded and safe, so it is safe to have it. In the future, the Marquis's contact with you will be more convenient. Of course, the land will not be too big after all, and the family only has about ten acres. After all,
There are thousands of families who come to Langshan here, and the Marquis is not willing to favor one or the other. If you feel dissatisfied, you can purchase land by yourself. As for what you still need, you can also propose it. The Marquis of Luzhou will set up a Civil Affairs Department to let the Chief Secretary Wu Xiong take care of it. If you have any confession, you can send it to the Marquis' Mansion through there. The Marquis of the Marquis has already made a statement. You are a distinguished guest invited by the Marquis. You must be at home and a little neglect is our fault."
Everyone heard that they were still distributing land, but they didn't agree at first. After all, they were planning to take refuge. They rented a house for a year or two and could not say that they could go back to their hometown. But now, after thinking about it, God knows when Jiaozhi will be peaceful, and the land is still based on the Marquis' Mansion. Such land is a big gift. People like them have money and wealth, so it's nothing to build a house. At least they have a place to live in Lang San. To put it bluntly, it's better to live here in Jiaozhi.
So everyone was moved and thanked him one after another. Li Hong said, "But I don't know when I will visit the Marquis. I really want to walk around, but I am afraid that the Marquis will be responsible for everything..."
The magistrate of Xi County smiled and said, "The Marquis will have a big banquet in a few days. You are waiting for the news."
Everyone was relieved, so they came out from the Xi County Magistrate.
The vast team continued to move forward. When they arrived at Tongshanji, many servants were waiting here. They began to record the names of each family with books, and distributed wooden signs, asking them to go to the inn to get in. The owner lived in the inn, and the servants had to feel aggrieved and lived in the temporary shed.
These people originally thought Lang Sang was just a county town, and many people had never been here. They only heard that it has been pretty good recently and bustling. Now that we really have arrived here, it is an eye-opener. The wide roads are well connected, and the shops along the way are booming, including antiques, pearls and jade, ready-made clothes, inns, wineries, tea shops, pawn shops, gambling shops, and porcelain shops.
Moreover, the pedestrians here are different from other places. The people here walk quickly and the pace is very fast, not as leisurely as other places. Even the clothes are very different from those in the Ming Dynasty and other places in Annan.
No matter who is here, it seems that they don’t like long clothes. They all like to wear simple and narrow-sleeved clothes. They also have to tie their legs under their feet. They don’t wear crowns and hats on their heads, but wear hats directly, which can protect themselves from the sun and rain, and is also convenient to wear.
This outfit is naturally not very beautiful, but it gives people a strong practicality.
Naturally, everyone was confused and talked down. Several Confucian scholars couldn't help but get together and shook their heads.
A merchant who has been here smiled and explained, "This place is not as good as other places. Here, everyone is pursuing money. Whether you have the strength, knowledge or capital, you can get money here. Whoever is willing to spend time will earn more money than others. Look at the brokers on the way and the bartender, do you know that the bartender here is a reward. The more customers you bring, the more wages you calculate. Here, whether it is a shop or a workshop, it is easy to make money. So in order to attract more people, the store or businessman would rather give more benefits to the people below. So over time, the people here are diligent. You see that shop.
No? That's called fast food. When someone works in another place, the woman will cook for him. He does work outside and can eat it when he goes back, but it's different here. Lang Son's cloth is famous, so women are recruited to textile workshops, and the wages are not low. If there is no woman at home, what should I eat? So some merchants take this spot and simply recruit some chefs to fry a big pot of food for sale. It is said that the name of fast food was still very interesting when the Hou of Hai Pang saw it, so he told people, isn't this fast food? So the name of fast food has spread. There are dozens of such fast food shops, and the business is very good."
"There are also the ready-to-wear shop. Can you tell that people are tall, short, fat and thin. Although there are also ready-to-wear items, there are much fewer things in other places. Who is not a man who farms and women who weaves? They make silk cloth to make clothes for their children and men? This is a matter of course. But the women here in Lang Son don't have time to cook and wash at home and do needlework, so this ready-to-wear shop becomes popular. The most popular clothes now are the kind of tight clothes. Do you know why? It's convenient! Think about it, the world is prosperous for profit. Whether it's rich or ordinary people, who are not running around to earn money? Where can I have the time to take care of clothes every day and straighten their crowns and hats? So the simpler it is and the easier it is to take care of them, the more everyone likes it."
The merchant smiled and seemed to be quite happy with Lang Son's change. However, the Confucian scholars couldn't help but shake their heads and said, "If this happens, this gorgeous clothes are not worn by anyone, will it become a beast of Diyi? Inappropriate, inappropriate, the Han family is full of Chu Ge, is this still Han?"
The merchant was bored and was not his good at talking, so he could only say embarrassedly: "This...this...haha...you guys are joking, this is the Han world. You see, what you are talking about is not Chinese? You are using Chinese characters? You just changed your clothes."
These people will slowly understand the differences brought by Lang Son. They all found the inn with wooden signs and took their wives and servants to settle down.
However... a trouble came again, and this trouble was quite large. After all, they were people with status. Although they were temporarily living in the inn, in order to avoid the war, they came here to bring their own family assets. The car of gold and silver jewelry was obvious. It would be fine if there was a mansion here, but the problem was that they lived in the inn. In this noisy place, even if the security here was good, it would make them very uneasy, uneasy and troublesome.
Many people did not dare to unload the goods in their cars in front of the inn shoppers, for fear of revealing their wealth and being targeted.
If you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves thinking about it. The Han people understand this principle, and the Annan people understand it too!
Thinking about the family wealth they brought, can they still sleep peacefully at night?
