Daming: Distribution of Lingnan, you develop the Pearl River Delta?

Chapter 227 The appearance of all living beings in Huizhou Prefecture
Huizhou Mansion, Tianyi Street, No. [-] Hutong.

This is a residential area.

However, judging from the current scale of Huizhou Prefecture, this residential area cannot actually be considered high-end.

Although there are new walls all around, due to poor environmental sanitation and a drainage channel for sewage discharge that has not yet been completed, this area is currently filled with ghosts, ghosts, and gods from all religions. .

Most of these people are refugees from the north and live in this area.

Although they all received money from King Qin to help them settle here, King Qin was not their biological parents.

Just help me once.

The rest of the way is up to them.

It is conceivable that as an outsider, and in a place with advanced civilization and technology, it is not easy to integrate. Of the millions of refugees, less than three out of ten can successfully integrate into that environment.

These people are those who can learn to do business or work in factories.

In addition, there are [-] people, including the elderly, weak, women and children, who are currently staying at home.

These people are the most helpless.

It's okay if there are men at home who can go out and work hard.

If there is no such man, then we can only receive relief food.

Life was not very good either.

All I can say is, I won’t starve to death.

But hunger is inevitable.

There are also [-]% of people who simply cannot integrate.

But among these people, half of them who have strength can work hard to live a life.

But even so, there are still nearly 20 people who are unemployed.

Here, there are women waiting for marriage, as well as some young and middle-aged men.

In fact, these people are okay. They can form a family and work hard to survive together.

The most difficult people to deal with are those who are adults, married and have children, but they are still doing nothing.

Such people will have a name in later generations... Street Liuzi!

The number of street liars in Huizhou can be said to be the highest in the entire Ming Dynasty, and even in the world!
How many people are there?
More than one hundred thousand!

You know, at that time, the capital of the Ming Dynasty, Jinling Prefecture, only had a population of 80.

And Constantinople, which Zhu Xi visited, was the capital of the Byzantine Empire.

As a result, due to the war, the total population was only over [-].

It is almost the same as the number of street runners in Huizhou Prefecture.

A street kid in a state capital can equal the entire population of a country...

All I can say is that it's a bit scary.

With so many street kids, how do they make a living?

Here, many underground occupations have emerged.

Such as gambling houses, brothels, goulan and so on.

And there is...

Pay for protection!

This is something Zhu Ping has always strictly prohibited.

why?
Because only Zhu Xi can collect the protection fee!

If others take it, it won’t be Zhu Xi’s job.

That's to steal Zhu Xi's job!

Can Zhu Ping endure this?

Be it Huizhou Prefecture or Panyu Prefecture.

In the entire Lingnan, no matter where you go for business, just ask anyone who doesn't want to pay business tax to the Prince of Qin's Palace!

To put it bluntly, this commercial tax is the various taxes collected by Zhu Xi, which even includes 'protection fees'.

Zhu Xiang naturally strictly prohibited others from collecting protection fees from these merchants.

But in Huizhou Prefecture, there are still people doing this business of collecting protection fees.

On this day, in front of the bun shop at the entrance of Tianyi Street, Zhu Ming, dressed in casual clothes, was accompanied by the heroic Xin Ying, and there was no one else.

Zhu Ming was also dressed like a young man from a wealthy family. He smiled and asked: "Boss, how do you sell steamed buns?"

Zhu Xi came to Huizhou Mansion.

He got up early in the morning.

As a result, we arrived at Panyu Prefecture around nine o'clock in the morning.Only then did he feel a little hungry, but not too hungry.

Tianyi Street is just opposite the train station.

Therefore, there are many clouds and dragons in this area, but the flow of people is also large.

Zhu Ping chose to get off the bus here.

He asked his personal guards to drive Xu Miaojin to Huizhou University.

And Zhu Xi himself also experienced the feeling of a private visit incognito.

Xin Ying didn't understand it at the time, so when Zhu Xi walked all the way to the door of the bun shop, he explained to her: "We are here to investigate the case. This investigation is to go deep into the grassroots and integrate into the people... Remember it later. , you can only call me Young Master, speak as little as possible, and don’t let anything slip."

Xin Ying naturally agreed.

Seeing Zhu Xi, the shopkeeper smiled and said, "Master, are you here to eat buns too? Hehe, we have meat buns and vegetarian ones. The vegetarian ones cost six yuan each, and the meat ones cost ten yuan each."

"Six cents for a vegetarian dish, ten cents for a meat dish?"

Zhu Xi laughed in surprise when he heard the words, and couldn't help but said: "I have been to Jinling Mansion, and I have also been to Panyu Mansion. The buns in Jinling Mansion cost one penny each, and the meat stuffing is three pennies. Well, in Panyu Mansion, the plain ones are Four cents, meat is six cents...Boss, the buns here are more expensive than those in Panyu Prefecture!"

"no way!"

The store owner grinned honestly and explained: "The land here is expensive. If it is sold cheaply, even a villain can't survive! What's more..."

The shopkeeper hesitated to speak.

"Why didn't you say anything?" Zhu Xi asked.

"Oh, nothing, nothing!"

The store owner waved.

But Zhu Xi felt that there seemed to be a problem.

But what should I do if the other party doesn’t want to tell me?
Seeing Zhu Fang frowning and feeling embarrassed, Xin Ying was about to take out a knife and step forward. Zhu Fang stopped her quickly, gave her a look, then ordered two steamed buns, turned around and left with Xin Ying.

"Why don't you force him to question him?" Xin Ying asked.

"You are stupid!"

Zhu Xi said angrily: "We are on a private visit incognito. If we do this, won't our identity be exposed immediately? I told you not to mess around... If you mess around again, then go back to Panyu Mansion!"

"Oh." Xin Ying nodded softly.

"The boss of this bun shop has some problems... Let's go and check out the rice noodle shop next door."

Zhu Ming took Xin Ying to the nearby rice noodle shop and each ate a bowl of rice noodle.

But this time, Zhu Xi didn't ask anything.

Because there is a waiter in the rice noodle shop, so there is no point in asking him.

This waiter still has bruises on his face!

However, no matter who he saw, he said that he accidentally fell.

When Zhu Ping heard these words, he didn't ask any more questions.

But when he was leaving, he came to the counter to pay, and then Zhu Xi asked: "Seller, is there a place to stay nearby?"

"Yes, there is a hotel opposite!"

The shopkeeper was an old man, wearing a pair of reading glasses, and responded without raising his head.

Zhu Xi looked out the door and found a small hotel.

Without saying anything, Zhu Xi took Xin Ying out of the noodle shop.

"belch……"

Xin Ying took a break.

Zhu Xi smiled and said, "Are you full?"

"Yeah!" Xin Ying blushed slightly.

At this time, some young men on motorcycles flew past the two of them.

Speeding party!

Can you believe it?

It is the early Ming Dynasty, the Hongwu period.

In the originally impoverished Lingnan land, a speeding gang actually appeared!
Xin Ying stopped Zhu Xing behind him and guarded him. Zhu Xing watched the group of speeding gangsters pass by coldly. Pedestrians gave way and cars stopped along the way... But it seems that people here are used to it.

"Walk."

Zhu Xi didn't dwell too much on this matter.

However, his complexion was not very good.
