Begging in late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 387 Another riot?

The silkworm is really a miraculous species. From the leaves, it can be transformed into the white and slender silk thread like jade, which is spun into silk and satin as smooth as a waterfall. That is silk.

Since the time of Leizu in ancient times, he has been engaged in the ancient industry of raising silkworms and drawing silk. Suzhou has been operating silk for thousands of years. The silk industry is not only a commercial activity, but also a life course. , the small silkworms just hatched from the eggs are eating the newly collected mulberry leaves, and the other silkworm room slightly outside, the white silkworms that have grown up a lot are lazily basking in the sun, and it will take a few days , they should spin silk and cocoon.

Sericulture is very particular about temperature, humidity, and different stages correspond to different environments. The two silkworm farmers recruited by Song Qingshu just didn’t pay attention to the humidity, which caused a large number of silkworm seedlings to suffer from Beauveria. , squatting in the silkworm room and watching a lot of chrysalis lying quietly in the dustpan, Song Qingshu really wanted to go back and scold those bastards, it was money!
It’s really like the great sword of Dongguan in the later generations. No acquaintances take it with you, and it’s normal everywhere. If you have someone who enters the industry, pushing oil, sitting on the lotus, and having happy sex, it’s not a problem. It’s just catching up with the depression in Suzhou. In the name of Jinxiufang, Jiaduobao's strong capital was acquired everywhere. Within a few days, a large area of ​​mulberry gardens near the canal had all been under the name of Song Qingshu, and the small-scale farming economy was half-cultivated and half-silkworm. There are more than 2 workers who specialize in sericulture and burning silk.

Even in Suzhou as a whole, one-tenth of the industry fell into Song Qingshu's pocket. Even if the remaining silk merchants resisted him, Song Qingshu didn't care anymore.

Song Qingshu watched with great interest as the skilled old man picked out the best silkworm eggs from a large pile of silkworm chrysalis, reserved them for mating and laying eggs, and skillfully tore apart the rest to pour out the formed chrysalis , silkworm clothes were boiled in a large pot, and finally a worker miraculously pulled out the fine silk from the balls of silkworm clothes. At the other end, large bundles of raw silk were neatly stacked on a dustpan to dry, and the whole Although there is no machinery in the process, even if it is done manually, it is like a smooth flow of water, which is pleasing to the eye.

But when Song Qingshu was fascinated by reading it, Qian Dazhuang, who had been appointed as the field manager, ran over sweating profusely, shouting crazily along the way.

"Boss, the boss is not good! The mulberry garden in the east is on strike!"

Song Qingshu almost didn't spit out what he said. Now that the whole of Suzhou is in a depression, he is the only one who pays out money on time, and he never refuses anyone who comes. There are also prosperous business routes. How can he let himself suffer every bad luck Woolen cloth?Even local conservatism, this is going too far, right?

"Let He Jin assemble the team immediately, it's against me, if you don't want to do it, I will drive you away! I have no shortage of people!" Song Qingshu yelled angrily, his cheeks puffed up, holding a stick for smashing silkworm clothes.

Just like landlords and squires raising and running businesses these days, if you don’t have some armed forces, you can’t really play anywhere. Suzhou is considered the stronghold of the Donglin Party and those conservatives, and there are many squires in the countryside. In order to protect Suzhou The industry that was finally built, Song Qingshu mobilized all the remaining manpower of the Gezuo Third Division here, and stationed at the Jinxiufang headquarters in the name of family members to prevent any repetitions. Unexpectedly, the next day, he sent It's time to use it. With a large group of soldiers, Suzhou was angered. With a large group of soldiers, Song Qingshu walked to the front in person.

But as soon as he left the old house of Dong's family in Jinxiufang, he was stopped by a carriage.

"Officer, where are you going, you aggressive man? Take me with you!"

It was Little Pepper who came, followed by Yuer, Qiaoyan and the others, Song Qingshu slapped his head suddenly, today is the day when Little Pepper comes to Suzhou.

Song Qingshu went to Suzhou to set up a new business, and within a few days, Little Pepper was eager to follow him. He pretended to be holding a concert for the Qinhuai Orchestra in Suzhou. In fact, Song Qingshu could guess it with his toes. This girl is sure Don't worry about bringing Li Xiangjun and Dong Xiaowan out alone, so you have to follow anyway.

But right now, she is going to fight in groups. The last time she was beaten, she looked bruised and swollen. Song Qingshu has never forgotten that murderous look, and he slapped his thigh helplessly and sadly: "There are few things between men and women." Shen He, obediently wait for me to come back in the mansion, or I will slap your ass at night!"

Listening to Song Qingshu's private words in such a large audience, even the carefree little pepper couldn't help but blushed and stamped her feet angrily, but at this moment, Yu'er got out of the carriage again.

"Master, what happened? Do you need Yu'er's help?"

Seeing this slim and good girl respectfully holding two small hands and bowing to him, Song Qingshu suddenly had a light bulb in his mind.

The mulberry garden in the east was newly acquired, and it is also the place where the workers are most concentrated. Song Qingshu arrived in time, and Dong Xiaowan brought the original Dongjiasi garden guys with him at this moment, and they couldn't hold back any longer.

"Song, get out of Suzhou!"

"Jiaduobao is not welcome!"

The silk workers yelled and crowded forward angrily, Dong Bai's little face was pale with fright at this time, but this was the property that Song Qingshu entrusted to her to manage, even so, she stood at the front, repeating shouted.

"Everyone, calm down! Even if Jiaduobao buys it, everyone's wages will not be short! Why do you reject our company so much?"

"Miss Dong, we respect your father as a good man, so don't meddle in this matter! Otherwise, don't blame us for losing face!"

Bravely, a guy who is rare among the southerners to be regarded as a big man unexpectedly squeezed seven or eight silk workers down at once, and roared at Dong Xiaowan like a beast, so frightened that Dong Xiaowan sat down on the ground directly.

At this time, the third division of Gezuo arrived. Gezuo was originally mostly from the north, and those who survived were even the best in the army. In recent years, he joined the begging army and kept up with nutrition. Strong, but did not hold firecrackers, Wubaizuo Third Division was still riding a stick like a tiger descending the mountain, and the protesting workers who were still storming the gate of the embroidery workshop just now were swept away in a large area.

When Qi Jiguang was recruiting troops back then, he commented that Shaoxing soldiers obeyed orders and endured hard work, but they had no courage to fight. If they were about to fight hand-to-hand with the enemy within [-] steps, they would usually retreat with their entire army. In short, they were unreliable!Lishui soldiers fight with their lives and charge bravely, but they are too good at negotiating conditions. They will definitely chat with Qi Jiguang before the battle. Knowing the opponent and the number of people, once it is a hard battle, they will definitely not work hard.

After evaluating these two, Qi Jiguang added another sentence, Su Songchang is the most unbearable, and the soldiers here are at most half of Shaoxing soldiers after training, and they can defend the city and maintain law and order. It is impossible to fight in the field!
The industry and commerce here are well developed, and the style of writing is at its peak. Relatively speaking, Wufeng is weaker than the people of Yingtianfu. Five hundred big men rushed into the crowd like wolves and tigers, with big sticks on the front wheel. The aggressive crowd ran faster than last time The factory protesters ran fast, which is called neat, except for the unlucky ones who were beaten to the ground, and if they wanted to fight, they had to shoot with firecrackers.

However, with the experience of the last fight, Song Qingshu was well prepared. On the other side of the exit from Sangyuan, He Jin personally led the [-] Ge Zuo troops into a column, holding a big stick in his hand, as big as a real battle formation. Stepping forward, with such momentum, the rioting crowd who ran back in fright did not dare to fight, and crouched on the ground with their heads in their hands without a teacher.

Looking at the east and west sides, 1000 people stabilized the [-] to [-] rioting crowd in the field, Song Qingshu finally let out a sigh of relief, and immediately nodded to Yu'er.

Seven or eight concerts have already been held, and Yu'er is really not stage-frightened like a public figure. She smiled sweetly at Song Qingshu, and immediately walked in front of those workers. Not to mention, a miraculous scene happened immediately , the crowd who had been in commotion just now suddenly calmed down, and the young man shouted with love in his eyes.

"It's Yuer! Qinhuai Yuer! I've heard her concert, it's really her!"

"Yu'er! Yu'er!"

Crazy fans surrounded me with a whoosh, and someone actually held a small book and shouted for the goddess to sign my autograph!Fortunately, Song Qingshu had the foresight to send a few big men to protect her first in a Roman tortoise shell formation. Yu'er couldn't take it anymore with such warm hospitality, and yelled helplessly at the fans who were desperately squeezing in from outside the shield.

"Everyone be quiet and listen to me!"

"Yu'er was ordered by the boss to come here to negotiate with everyone. Yu'er's boss has never been to Suzhou. Why do you hate the boss and the company so much?"

With the aura of idols, it is rare that these rioters did not start cursing, but they were still silent for a long time, and finally the big man who rushed to Dong Xiaowan just now also rushed forward with a very helpless expression.

"Miss Yu'er, it's not that everyone wants to get along with Song and the company. It's really, it's your company that makes everyone unable to survive!"

…………

"What?"

Song Qingshu was also poor. He didn't think he was a cold-blooded capitalist. The workers under him had normal wages, holidays and overtime subsidies, and free medical care. He said that he made people unable to survive. Song Qingshu really felt it. Too wronged, listening to Yu'er's narration after the negotiation, he pointed his nose in disbelief.

"My lord, this matter has something to do with our company!"

At this moment, Yu'er also showed embarrassment on her cheeks.

"This matter, we have to start with Lianghuai grain..."
