Mixing ancient times with Taobao

Chapter 338
It is said that many people are powerful, and unity is strength!

After these state and county lords cared about their official careers, the progress of the project quickly picked up.

And although these gentlemen are in the poorest place in the entire Ming Dynasty, they haven't let go of the knowledge in their stomachs.In order to make the project progress faster and better, some masters figured out the method of building in sections.

With a reasonable organization, work efficiency has been significantly improved.And in order to let the Han, Miao, and Li tribes live in harmony, these gentlemen also spent a lot of effort to solve it.

Taking Zuo Fu's admonitions, before starting work every day, they instilled in the common people the idea that the Han, Miao and Li are brothers of Ming Dynasty, and if they encountered quarrels between the several clans, they would treat them fairly, so as to show that they were in line with it. Like the magistrate, he will not favor any side, as long as they live in Qiongzhou, they are all citizens of Ming Dynasty, and they will be treated equally.

This method may not seem wise, but with the passage of time, the conflicts between the several ethnic groups have really decreased.Those Miao people and Li people also want to integrate into the social group of the Han people. After finishing work every day, they will go to the literacy class to learn how to read.

Yes, Zuofer's word recognition class opened again in Qiongzhou.Of course, the conditions in Qiongzhou are backward, and few people can read.Simply, Changzhou followed more than 3000 people. Apart from guiding the work, these people are also responsible for teaching these Qiongzhou people to read and write.

For this reason, the gentlemen of the local government felt that Zuo Fu's trick was brilliant.

If you enter the barbarians, you will be the barbarians, and if you enter the Huaxia, you will follow the Huaxia.These Miao people and Li people have learned the knowledge of my Han family, so wouldn’t they become my Han family in the future?

These gentlemen highly appreciate Zuofu's behavior of not forgetting to spread the sage's theory when he came to this place.Even, they will send clerks in the yamen to serve as lecturers in literacy classes.

Of course, the money is gone.But since it is extra work, it is still possible to receive a little rice grain from the person sent by the magistrate.

Miao Li stopped making trouble, and the Han people gradually accepted these workers. Slowly, with the exchange of words, everyone really got along with each other in harmony.

Especially, when everyone put on the clothes and safety shoes issued by the magistrate, the feeling of alienation was even less.

Qiongzhou is very hot in summer, and the work is very hard. Many Miao people began to cut their hair.This behavior caused a group of bandits to panic!

Why do these Hmong people start cutting their hair too?Is it to learn from them?

Finished!

If this is investigated, it will definitely be discovered that they secretly cut their hair short!
They were indeed forced to shave their heads at the beginning, but after shaving their heads, they found that the benefits of shaving their heads are too many.

Since I shaved my head, lice can no longer nest on my head; and in this hot Qiongzhou, it is obviously much easier to take care of a refreshing short hair than the long hair before.

Although the body, hair and skin can be taught to parents, these bandits thought about the things they talked about in the nature class, and felt that in this miasmatic Qiongzhou, it might be easier to get sick with hair.

If this physical body is to be completely destroyed, wouldn't it be that I am more sorry for my parents?So losing some hair shouldn't be considered unfilial, right?

Ever since, these people began to avoid people and secretly cut their hair short, so that after coming to Qiongzhou for so long, their hair is still very short, just sticking to the scalp, as if it will never grow out.

Because of their peculiar appearance, the local residents also gave them an affectionate nickname: short hair.

But what is going on with these Miao people now? !Why did you cut your hair too? !This has to be investigated, aren't they going to be unlucky? !

Shangguan really came to investigate!

The results that can be found out are dumbfounding.

It turned out that in the supply of labor supplies, in addition to clothes and rice, the people who came to work could also get soap, toothpaste, toothbrush and other rewards.

These Miao people have always lived in poverty, so it is very rare to get such a thing.I used to live in the mountains, and everyone was dirty.But now after living with these Han people for a period of time, these Miao people feel that they are too dirty.

Seeing that these Han people used that soap to wash their hair and bathe, they followed suit.But these people who are used to being bullied by the Han and Li races always feel that such a good thing will not last long, so this soap should be saved.

Now I do physical work every day and sweat a lot. It takes a lot of soap to wash my hair.Seeing that some of the laborers sent by the magistrate had their hair cut, they cut their hair as soon as they had an idea.

This not only saves soap, but also refreshes, isn't it a double-winner?

After learning the answer, the masters of the states and counties were a little bit dumbfounded.This soap is indeed a rare item, but their magistrate seems to have no shortage of it.

There are always two carts of soap in the materials that are pulled every time.And as far as they know, soap has been listed as a trade list by adults.And in the near future, her old man plans to open several soap workshops, so the worries of these Miao people are completely superfluous.

As long as they work here, this benefit will not be interrupted!

And they don't have to worry about running out of work!Because judging from the decree issued by the magistrate's office, their magistrate has already arranged a series of tasks for them.These jobs can't be done in a few years.

And this "living" is still increasing!

God knows why this new magistrate has so many ideas!According to her plan, I am afraid that all the Miao and Li people in Qiongzhou will not be enough to help!You have to attract people from outside to work!So, these Miao people...

Really dumbfounding!

At the same time, these masters are also somewhat contemptuous.

What an uncivilized barbarian!

It's really unfilial to cut off all your hair for something!

No, this matter still has to be reported, the magistrate shouldn't have allowed Shorthair to work.Although these short-haired people deserved their crimes and deserved to be punished, these Miao and Li people were not educated and did not know how to punish them. If they tried to imitate others, it would not be beneficial to enlightenment!
After receiving the report, Zuo Fu couldn't help but smile after reading the reports of these gentlemen, threw the official document aside, and said: "The body, hair and skin are taught by the parents... Well, this is true. But there are many snakes and insects in Qiongzhou, and many Where there is miasma, people with long hair are more likely to get sick. If this body is destroyed, wouldn't it be more unfilial?"

With a dark face, Li Xiang said: "Miss, those bandits are secretly cutting their hair. I arrested a person and asked him. His statement is very similar to yours..."

Zuo Fu raised his eyebrows and said, "What? Our brother Xiang has a problem with my statement?"

"My subordinates dare not."

Li Xiang blushed and said in a low voice: "But shaving your hair is really unfilial, only monks who have cut off the kindness of the world will shave their hair."

"Pedantism!"

Zuo Fu got up, took the official document in his hand, patted Li Xiang on the forehead and said: "According to what you said, we shouldn't wear clothes either."

"???"

Li Xiang was dumbfounded.

Seeing him like this, Zuo Fu couldn't help laughing, "Since the body, hair and skin are given to the parents, they should be proud of it, why cover it up? It should be seen by the world!"

Li Xiang: "...Big girl, you, are you making unreasonable words?"

"I've made you fat."

Zuo Fu kicked up, "Dare to question me, your eldest girl? Hmph, be careful, I'll shave your hair too!"

With a bitter face, Li Xiang said aggrievedly: "Miss, I, I did nothing wrong, right? Being tortured by the knuckles is for extremely bad people."

"oops."

Zuo Fu shook his head, "You people are stubborn. Forget it, let's not talk about it. You let people go to the states and counties, and just say that this matter is up to them, and don't block it arbitrarily, and add to our ideas. For them, we must respect the customs and individual ideas of various ethnic groups."

"Yes, big girl."

Zuo Fu got up, stretched his waist, and said: "There are too few people who can read and write in Qiongzhou. Even if I want to publish a newspaper to convey the government order, it won't work. It seems that I still have to find a way to attract some scholars to Qiongzhou. Otherwise, There are so many things to do, but few people can do them. Things that can be done in Changzhou in three months may take a year or so here, and the efficiency is too slow.”

Li Xiang nodded, and then sighed, "Hey, big girl, is it strange to you? I wasn't so stupid when I didn't read and write before! Most of the soldiers I led in Changzhou were also illiterate. , but it’s not as difficult to practice as it is now! Why is it so difficult to practice the soldiers in the Qiongzhou guards?

Not to mention all the stinking problems all over his body, his mind is also very stupid.It is still so difficult to walk in line after tying cloth to their feet. Why is this? ! "

"Affected by the environment."

Zuo Fudao: "Changzhou is a prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River after all. The people are well-informed and quick-witted. But this Qiongzhou has been isolated outside the mainland for thousands of years, with blocked information and poor transportation. After a long time, the knowledge is naturally not as good as that in the interior." Lu. So, you have to be patient. They are human beings just like us, but they were born and raised in different circumstances."

Li Xiang sighed, "I have to come back to drink the fire-reducing soup once I have practiced this time, otherwise I will really burn."

Zuo Fu laughed loudly, patted Li Xiang on the shoulder and said, "Don't tell me, isn't our brother Xiang not afraid of anything? He can't just teach it a few times, and he will learn."

"Big girl, it's not good!"

Zuo Gui ran in, his face pale, "Yes, there are Japanese pirates!"

"what?!"

Zuo Fu was startled, "Where are there Japanese pirates?!"

"Yes, Wenchang County Magistrate sent someone to report!"

"Quick, invite people in!"

"Bring it, bring it!"

Zuo Gui ran to the door, "Come in!"

A yamen servant came in, followed by the cook and guide from Qiongzhou.The two came in, before they had time to salute, Zuo Fu said: "No need to be too polite! Tell me quickly, what happened to Wenchang?!"

"Go back to your lord!"

Cook Wang said: "The yamen servant said that three boats were found in Sanjiaokou Village, Wenchang three days ago, and a group of people got off from them with Japanese heads. The villagers were terrified and all ran away. Close the gates of the city, and send him to ask for help!"

"Sanjiaokou Village?!"

Zuo Fu frowned, "There is a small port there, could it be for trade?"

After Wang Chef asked the yamen servant, he also frowned, and said: "When they entered the village, they searched around, and quickly looted along the way. When the Zhao yamen servant came, he had already arrived at Wengtian Town. .”

"Damn!"

Zuo Fu gritted his teeth, "Request troops immediately, follow me to Wenchang!!"
