Mixing ancient times with Taobao

Chapter 325 Start work
Sunglasses, straw hats on the beach, Tang-style Hanfu improved by later generations...

When Zuo Fu appeared on the streets of Qiongzhou City in such an image, the people were shocked!
Why did the new magistrate get two black discs on his eyes?Is there something wrong with the eyes?
Thinking that the new magistrate might have something wrong with his eyes, a group of people were worried.

This master has not been here for a long time, but they have already gained a lot of benefits from the magistrate.

She brought a lot of people, but Qiongzhou is poor, and there are not so many houses in the city that can be rented out.Therefore, the master built a house for himself.

After building the house, she made a lot of work out.

Those from the south of the Yangtze River are particular about it.Living in such a nice house is not enough.There are also sewers to be dug, drainage ditches to be made, cesspools and roads to be repaired.

God knows why they are so particular about it.But it is a good thing for these local villagers.

Although Qiongshan County is the seat of the prefecture, it is also a relatively prosperous place on the island, but that's all.Compared with the mainland, this place is still very primitive, there are not many permanent shops, and everyone is very poor.

But recently, thanks to the blessings of these Jiangnan masters, their lives are obviously much easier.These people need to do a lot of chores, even women can find work here, and they also eat three meals a day, just like young adults.

This is very attractive to the local residents, and many people have even called some relatives and friends here to enjoy the benefits of the yamen.

And if there is something wrong with the magistrate's body, can they still have a good life?

Zuo Fu didn't know that wearing sunglasses and a straw hat could arouse so many speculations from the public.The sun in Hainan is very strong.In the past few days, I have been visiting around, but the result is that my skin is peeling from the sun, and I also realized prickly heat.

In order to deal with this situation, she had no choice but to buy an improved version of modern Hanfu on Taobao, as well as sunscreen spray and talcum powder, and armed herself up before daring to go out.

Today we are going to Danzhou Salt Fields, where there is an old salt field that has been passed down for hundreds of years.It is said that the people there were the first to use sun-dried salt technology.

Danzhou is in the northwest of Hainan Island, about three hundred miles away from Qiongshan County.In later generations, there was a highway from Qiongshan to Danzhou, but now there is nothing, only a dilapidated official road.

Anyway, the predecessors have walked this road a lot. Although it is a bit rotten, there is no problem with riding a horse.

Sitting in the carriage, Zuo Fu turned on the fully charged portable air-conditioning fan, and a gust of cool wind rushed to her face, making her more energetic.

This thing is not as good as an air conditioner, but there are two water tanks inside. After freezing, the wind blowing out is at least cool.In this small space, there is still some effect.

Not long after she came to Hainan, Zuo Fu was already tanned, and she was very angry, and all kinds of symptoms of acclimatization were reflected in her body.

She has been making herbal tea according to the prescription Sun Xunting gave her since yesterday.Not to mention, it's really effective.I drank herbal tea for a day yesterday, and I feel much better today.

So at this moment, she also filled her oversized drinking bottle with herbal tea, and at the same time, there were seven or eight bottles of herbal tea in the space.

The distance is more than 300 miles, and it takes more than 8 hours to travel in this carriage, plus the rest time in the middle, it is estimated that it will be late at night in Yantian Village, Danzhou.

So she didn't want to go back to Qiongshan today, she had to stay in Danzhou, and then go to inspect the production situation of Yantian the next day.

Along the way, she was observing the situation outside, especially when passing by the village, she had to look more often.On this way, she has to jump over Chengmai, pass through Lingao, and pass through the residential areas of Li people to reach Danzhou.

This is a good time to investigate the local folk customs, which cannot be missed.For this reason, she has prepared some salt and medicine in the car.

The Li people living in this generation are not born in Li, but they are not friendly to the Han people.

The reasons for this are complicated, and the official suppression is also one of the reasons why these Li people are dissatisfied.

No marriage, no indemnity, the emperor ruled the country, and the king died in the country. Although the Ming Dynasty was full of national spirit, in the eyes of Zuo Fu, this dynasty seemed too greedy.

The longer I come to Daming, the deeper this feeling becomes.

Corrupt officials exploit endlessly in inland areas, let alone on Hainan Island.Turn over the history books and look at ancient and modern times, but the places with the worst corruption are often the poorest places.

The people have little knowledge and limited education. Living at the bottom of society, it is difficult to fight for themselves and fight for their legitimate rights and interests.

The more developed the city is, the more the officials and lords have to put on a good show, otherwise they will not be able to eat and walk around when they encounter "troublemakers".

The gentlemen who came to Qiongzhou to be officials fell into this place, and they were already frustrated politically. Apart from making some money, what else could they think of?So the squeeze has become more severe.

The Han people have a relatively strong endurance. After all, they all migrated from the inland and are used to being ruled.The Li people and Miao people on these islands are different.

Their way of life is already in a state of half farming and half hunting, and some are still in hunting mode.In this way of life, not to mention men, even women are very wild.

The same is true for those Shuli who came into contact with the Han people and learned the way of life of the Han people, their personalities are extremely unstable.Once oppressed by the Han people, they immediately partnered with Sheng Li to make troubles, which caused headaches for the local government, and the hostility became more and more serious.

Zuofu went back to Danzhou this time, passing through Lingao, both of which are places where Li people gather.There are more than 500 cave villages in these two places.

The so-called "dong" is a social organization of the Li people, with the nature of clan and tribe.Dong has a fixed area, and there are large and small villages in Dong. These villages are attached to Dong, which is a subordinate relationship.

There is a cave owner, who belongs to the top class in a cave.They are in charge of the production in the cave, and have their own set of rules and regulations in the cave. They communicate with the government on weekdays, pay food and serve, and the cave master comes forward. In the cave, the cave master is like an emperor, and has the power of life and death over the tribe.

And Li people made troubles throughout the entire Ariake generation, and the troubles became bigger and bigger every time.Just a few years before Zuo Fu came here, there was a large-scale riot of Li people here, and the leader was actually a Han Chinese.

So when Zuo Fu went to Danzhou this time, besides being careful with the guards, he also wanted to meet with these cave masters and convey his goodwill.

We're all living in one place, and it's no good for us to fight each other.And no matter what Ming people think of these Li people, for Zuo Fu, these people are all compatriots, and it is best if they can live in harmony.

My own car was loaded with medicine and medical tools, and the cars behind me were loaded with salt, cloth, sugar, farm tools, etc.

Qiongzhou is poor, and life is difficult for Han people, let alone these Li people.They often need to use several cows to exchange an iron farm tool from the Han people.Moreover, it is still a very bad kind of farm tool.

So Zuo Fu took these things with him after studying the relevant materials.

She not only needs these Li people not to make trouble, but also needs their labor force.

The population of Qiongzhou is too small.On such a huge island, the registered population is not even 26.

Such a person, even if she plows her head to death on the ground, she can't do anything.So she wanted to go through these familiar people, to see if she could bring those young people over, as well as those more pitiful Miao people.

If these people are willing to come out of the mountains, at least they can increase the population, right?
Of course, she was just planning these things.In the end how to do it, you still have to get in touch before you know.

The carriage was leisurely, and the wind gradually picked up.

The sky, which was still cloudless just now, suddenly darkened.

The wind was getting stronger, thunder came for a while, and heavy rain fell.

Li Xiang and others hurriedly took out the camouflage one-piece raincoat in the marching bag and put it on.Ever since they came to Qiongzhou, they had an extra set of raincoats in their backpacks.

The weather in Qiongzhou is changeable, and this month is the rainy season, sometimes it will rain several times a day.This raincoat is indispensable when going out.

The rain came fast, and it fell so hard and fast that Zuo Fu had to stop the car and wait for the rain to calm down before leaving.

Fortunately, the summer rain came and went quickly, and it stopped for a while before the rain stopped.In an instant, the sun came out, and the earth was steaming, and it seemed to be hotter.

Zuo Fu bought two boxes of mung bean popsicles from Taobao, and asked Chunya to send them out.If you don't have some frozen cold drinks this day, you must suffer from heat stroke.

Li Xiang was biting the popsicle happily, and in a blink of an eye, he saw Yu Shan beside him licking the popsicle desperately like a puppy, he couldn't help being happy.

"Boy from the Yu family, your food looks really ugly! After all, it was carefully taught by the eldest girl, why do you look like a reckless man?"

Yu Shan stuck out his tongue, and couldn't help but said: "If you can die in the sun this day, how can you care about eating at this moment?"

He talked poignantly, and said: "Here, our Qiao Si is a gentleman, but look at him, the speed of his mouth is not slow at all."

Li Xiang laughed for a while, and said: "It's still you, kid, Qiao Si is such a boring gourd, I can't pee with him very quickly."

Qiao Si concentrated on eating the popsicle, and seemed to not hear Li Xiang's ridicule.

He wanted to study, and Yu Shan wanted to be a soldier. However, after learning skills from the eldest girl for a few years, no matter whether he worked hard or not, all of them were thrown into the guards.

The reason is simple, neither of these two people is material for reading.Read on, the future may be affected.So Zuo Fu thought about it and sent the two into the barracks.You can study in the military camp, and you can also improve your military literacy, and you will have a better future in the future. This is the best arrangement for the two.

Yu Shan was naturally happy when his wish was fulfilled; however, Qiao Si was a little depressed.So after coming here, I talked less and didn't get along very well with everyone.

Seeing that Qiao Si was still eating popsicles with a sullen head, Li Xiang lost interest, took another mung bean popsicle, and then peeled off the paper. Suddenly he stood up, pulled out the knife, stared at the grass on the side of the road and said: "Who?! Come out!!"
