Chapter 627 Happy Event in Guangzhou

After a few showers, it was quite refreshing to clean up the midsummer Guangzhou.The streets and alleys are full of flowers, colorful, and everything is flourishing. It is worthy of the title of "Flower City".

At this time in Guangzhou, people used bamboo to tie up tall colorful buildings on the streets, and decorated them with flowers and colorful silks in a colorful and joyful way.From the Tianzi Wharf on the bank of the Pearl River to the foot of Yuexiu Mountain, hundreds of archways decorated with colorful silk and flowers are lined up along the way, immersing the entire Guangzhou city in a joyful atmosphere.

It's not just the city of Guangzhou. The entire Pearl River Delta, from Guangzhou to Foshan, from Huizhou to Dongguan, almost all towns are full of joy.After several years of implementation of the new policy, coupled with crazy road construction, the scene in Guangdong can be described as completely new.The wide official road that allows two carriages to run side by side connects the county towns with each other.The situation where accents and customs are different across a river is quietly changing.The reform of the money and grain system has made farmers and businessmen realize the benefits.

Farmers don’t have so much floating income. Every family has money and food books, and they don’t have to pay people’s silver. Those who rely on the land and forests for food can see at a glance how much food they should receive every year.Rents for renting other people's land did not dare to exceed the upper limit of [-]%. The number of days.Nowadays, food is becoming less and less valuable, and the landlords are very clear about it. Instead of losing face in public and gaining a mean reputation in the village for the rent of a liter and a half, it is better to get the benefits of obeying the law .

What's more, I have gained a reputation and a good impression as a law-abiding and enlightened gentleman in the official family, and the official family always thinks of you first when they have any good things.This is much easier to make a fortune than calculating rent by one liter and one bucket.

In addition to building roads and implementing the New Deal, which are easy to win people's hearts, there is another system that is forcefully promoted, which is not so warm and pleasant.

"It is forbidden to fight privately among the surnames in each village! Violators will be severely punished!"

Private fighting in various parts of Guangdong is also a persistent disease.The so-called fighting between villages and towns, between surnames and clans.Although the superficial reasons are full of tricks, the root cause is actually the so-called contradiction between natives and tourists.In history, it developed to its peak in the Qing Dynasty, and it was often tens of thousands of people. Even with the use of firearms, you would be embarrassed to say hello to others when fighting with hundreds or thousands of people.However, there were endless small-scale weapon fights before.Therefore, fighting with weapons has become a roadblock hindering commercial development.If you are a foreigner without any skills, it is very dangerous.A bigger threat than hindering business development is challenging the authority of the government.

The reason why weapon fighting reached its peak during the Qing Dynasty was because of the piglet trade in Southeast Asia.

Therefore, it is also profitable for people like the patriarch to fight with weapons. In essence, it is a virtue to plunder tribes with slaves in Africa.Therefore, although there has always been the problem of armed fighting, it was not until the Qing Dynasty that there were concentrated outbreaks of armed fighting with a scale of more than [-] people.

But now that Guangdong and Guangxi are under the jurisdiction of Li Shouhan, will he allow this kind of behavior to challenge the regime to exist and let it continue?It just so happens that there are already grassroots regimes everywhere right now, so we use the prohibition of fighting with weapons to test the quality of the grassroots regimes!

The main tasks of the grassroots regimes in various villages and towns are two directions, one is to popularize the law.One is that all villages and towns should be severely punished, and private fighting should be strictly controlled. This matter should be managed by the government. If there is a large-scale fighting, the government will punish it severely according to the law, regardless of the number of participants. .Everyone should know a truth.The hearts of the people are like iron, and the laws of the government are like furnaces.And if there is looting of property in the private fight.Killing and injuring human life, destroying water conservancy facilities, burning houses, insulting graves, human trafficking and other egregious illegal acts are even more serious crimes

At the beginning, neither the squires nor the villagers paid much attention to the similar warnings issued by the officials.But which one has actually been implemented?As the saying goes, don't blame the crowd, I'm afraid that when the time comes, there will be a real fight, with tens of thousands of people, the county town will have to shut the gates tightly and wait for the wind to subside before daring to open the city gate.It is said that the only person in history who dared to blame the public was Shang Yang, who beheaded hundreds of people at a time.But let's not talk about Shang Yang's end.Let’s just say that the number of people is only a few hundred. It’s not uncommon to have thousands of people in these two vast lands. I don’t believe you can do anything.

As a result, these people soon realized that it was not a big deal to have thousands of people in the Southern Guangdong Army if they dared to violate the criminal law.Of course, in the face of widespread private fighting at the beginning, the Southern Guangdong Army did not indiscriminately kill people indiscriminately. Instead, it first asked the cadres of the grassroots government in various villages and towns to patiently popularize the law and repeatedly preached the laws of the Southern Guangdong Army to the villagers.

Those team members patiently and carefully told the villagers and squires that the laws of the Southern Guangdong Army are different from those of Ming Dynasty, and that there is no law that does not blame the public.One person is punished for breaking the law, and one village is punished for breaking the law. Firstly, the criminal law violated, and then the sentence can be aggravated or reduced according to the circumstances.

This round of popularization of the law has calmed down the private fighting a little bit. After all, the general public is still afraid of officials, but there will always be ghosts in this world who are not afraid of death.After the popularization of the law, some people still provoked large-scale fighting for various reasons.

For these people, the Nanyue Army is not so polite. Referring to the experience of Jiqingwei and Taoyuan Dasha, it first sent a brigade to carry out armed suppression, and then conducted an in-depth investigation to arrest and punish the gentry and patriarch who organized the fighting according to the law. Everyone preaches the reasons behind these people's private fights.The patriarchs and squires who organized the fighting were paraded in the streets of various towns and towns, and the gongs were played to gather the crowd to listen to them talk about their crimes. After parading, they were punished according to the law.The key elements at all levels who participated in the fighting with weapons were issued as official slaves, and went to the deep mountains and old forests of Nanzhong to engage in activities such as cutting wood and mining in the mines, which consumed a lot of human life.

By parading the streets and telling about their crimes, which is a popular form, not only the prestige of the patriarchs and squires was knocked to the ground, but more importantly, the villagers discovered that many private fights were only due to the private conflicts between the patriarchs and squires. Enmity or entanglement of interests.After the two-pronged governance, the atmosphere in Guangdong and Guangxi has changed. It is estimated that even if Shang Yang is reborn, he will feel that what he did is too childish.

After this plowing and sweeping governance, small merchants and hawkers in Guangdong and Guangxi can walk alone in the countryside without worrying about looting and killing, let alone currying favor with tyrants everywhere in order to pass smoothly.In modern terms, logistics costs are greatly reduced.I believe everyone is very clear about the significance of reducing logistics costs.

The weather in Guangdong and Guangxi is one of the new ones.

It's a pity that Li Shouhan, who ruled Guangdong and Guangxi, was lying on the bed very sick at this time.

On the way south from Shandong, Li Shouhan fell ill.The approximate root cause of the illness is the same as that of Huang Taiji in Shengjing and Zhu Youjian in Beijing. It is because too much effort and energy have been invested in the Liaoxi War, but such an ending is what he does not want to see.What's more, there is a fundamental rebellion?

Ship to Guangzhou.Everyone refused to go any further, worrying that the lord's body would not be able to bear it.After some disputes and compromises, Li Shouhan lived in Yuexiu Mountain to recover from his illness, and at the same time organized to quell the rebellions in Nanzhong.

The rebellion is mainly divided into several parts, and the rebellion that caused the most headaches to the senior officials of the Southern Guangdong Army was concentrated on the original territory of the Zheng family.This can be regarded as the top priority of the Southern Guangdong Army.A large number of factories, mines and smelters are concentrated in this area, and Hejing, the place where it started, is also adjacent to it.Once something happens, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Among the many rumors, one rumor most frightened the senior officials. "He Jing was burnt to a piece of scorched earth! Hundreds of thousands of people wrapped their heads in red scarves!"

"Expel the northern bandits, give me back my country!" This is the slogan shouted from the remnants of the Zheng family who organized and led the rebellion.

"You might as well check to see if there is a demon from the White Lotus Sect among these people, and is there a guy named Liu Futong among the leaders of the bandits? ?”

Although the words are easy to say, Li Shouhan doesn't care if it's just those remnant soldiers and defeated generals who rise up to make trouble under the banner of reopening the Great Song Dynasty.but.There are many tribes in Nanzhong. What is the potential state of the various regimes, large and small, that were originally wiped out by the Nanyue Army?No matter what attitude, Li Shouhan and his intelligence department dare not take risks.What's more, there are places such as Myanmar and Siam. Myanmar is newly defeated. Although they signed the treaty and were canonized by the imperial court, God knows what will happen to these Buddhist disciples who wiped out tens of millions of Chinese troops at every turn?

And next to it there are Japan and North Korea.In Lu Song and other places, in order to frighten this group of guys who may have ulterior motives, Li Shouhan presided over the wedding of Li Huamei and Shi Lang regardless of his serious illness.

Li Huamei and Shi Lang were firmly opposed to it, but Li Shouhan had an idea and said that he would use marriage to celebrate.So the two had to reluctantly agree.

The layout of the cities and towns in the Pearl River Delta was celebrated by officials, gentry and common people everywhere for the great event of the Duke marrying a daughter.

But I don't know if it's really effective. After the news of Li Huamei and Shi Lang's wedding came out, Li Shouhan's health gradually began to improve.But what is more credible is the doctor's statement that the Duke's illness is caused by anger, and now that his children are getting married, he feels a little better, so the illness will naturally heal.

As Li Shouhan's body recovered day by day, the guests and friends who came to attend the wedding ceremony of the Princess Princess from all over the place gathered in Guangzhou like a cloud of clouds.

As far as the Pacific Rim is concerned, unless the United States passes through as a whole, there will be no family that is more powerful than the Li family.What's more, who is Li Huamei, the eldest daughter of the powerful Duke Li Shouhan, the most capable sea scarlet-winged tiger among the sailors of the Southern Guangdong Army, and the princess certified by the Ming Dynasty Quality System, these three titles are enough to put the former The well-known Qin Liangyu's general soldiers flung out ten thousand li.

And Shi Lang, who married Li Huamei, was also a remarkable figure. In his early years, he was a well-known young hero in the sea. Later, he followed Li Huamei to Liaodong. Thousands of people went to 10 people. He conquered Liaoyang and swept Liaodong. The town was burned to ruins. This record is enough to leave Qi Jiguang and Li Chengliang far behind.Therefore, the wedding of these two people is not so much the union of the golden boy and the jade girl as the alliance of two monsters.It is also a symbol of the thorough integration of the Li family with the Fujian Maritime Group.

Therefore, even though Li Shouhan ordered everything to be kept simple, it's no wonder your sister can keep things simple.As soon as the news came out, the entire Western Pacific region was moved by the news, and it was the navy who made the first move.Among the ministries of the Southern Guangdong Army, the naval division seemed to regard itself as the natal family and direct line of the princess, and it was very tough when it came to speaking.From Zhang Xiaohu to Xu Huanshan and others, the veterans of the Navy Qiyue unanimously suggested that a second-class ship that was about to be launched should be named Langmei to commemorate the wedding.This move was immediately rejected by Shi Lang and Li Huamei. In addition to not wanting to play this kind of vanity, the two of them also had a faint feeling that this naming sounded awkward.Langmei number?How is Lang? !Is this a curse on me? !Naval officers and soldiers haunted the storm, living in the midst of guns and waves, and paid more attention to lip service and omens.Such an unlucky name, whoever you want to take it away, anyway, I don't want it!

Seeing that the flattery was not accepted, the sailor had no choice but to settle for the next best thing. He suggested that during the wedding celebration, the sailors from Guangdong waters should gather in the Pearl River.Gun salutes were fired along the way to celebrate.This proposal was generally approved and passed.

Amidst the thunderous sound of firecrackers, a gift-wrapped bundle of joy was loaded onto a clipper ship and sent to Guangzhou from the Hue Palace at the fastest speed.

The gifts were given by the employees of the company directly under the Li family in Nanzhong. After they heard about Li Huamei's wedding, they decided to use donations to build a carriage as Li Huamei's wedding car.The cost of this carriage is that each person donated a day's wages.

It should be said that the appearance of the carriage is not too dazzling. It is not decorated with too much gold, silver and jewelry. It can even be described as unpretentious, just like a 500 million sports car and an Alto have the same success rate in chatting up beautiful women on Bar Street. .If Ye Qi used this car to pick up girls on the Qinhuai River back then, he probably wouldn't have the reputation of chasing after the trend Mr. Ye.However, the experts watch the way and the layman watch the excitement.If a knowledgeable person pays attention to the details, darling, this is definitely a masterpiece beyond the times.

First look at the axles of the carriage. The hardened rollers that have just been completed by Nanzhong are used to make the axles of the carriage strong and durable.The tires are made of vulcanized rubber, and the revolutionary use of pneumatic tires.This is a very bold approach.Originally, the representative who presented the gift was extremely opposed, but after countless trials.It proved the superiority of the new tires before it was finally passed.Compared with these two revolutionary achievements, others such as the new spring shock absorber and the new door lock system are not worth mentioning.

Compared with the above-mentioned achievements, a more subtle gadget fully reflects the current industrial technology level of the Li family.The valve core of the tire adopts a screw-type design.and.On many parts of the vehicle itself, screws are also creatively used to fix the installation.

In the non-industrial era, the cost of standardized screws was very high. (Don’t forget, Uncle Lei Feng specialized in collecting screws back then. In 1962, China had gone through the Great Leap Forward and had a certain industrial foundation. But screws are still relatively expensive things. Don’t think that Uncle Lei Feng is an idiot for collecting screws Behavior, the screws in the 1960s are almost equivalent to the accessories of luxury cars today. Although the screws in the 60s are much cheaper than before 1959, they are definitely not like the high-end goods after 1974. So don’t laugh at Lei Feng for collecting screws. Screws are high-end products. Basically, they can be equated with the parts of the current high-end luxury sports cars. Therefore, the spirit of screws must be viewed dialectically. It is also very inspirational in the environment at that time.) The 80s promoted the behavior of workers as masters, Things also started from collecting small parts such as screws. In the 80s, a large enterprise maintained the habit of collecting screws, and the accumulation was not a small sum of money.However, after entering the 80s, the quality of Tianchao screws began to decline. Screws before the 80s are completely incomparable with those after the 80s. The electric poles before the 80s, no matter where they are, no matter how many years they have been exposed to wind and rain, the screws and screw caps will not rust, and they can be removed with a single twist with a wrench.But if it is after the 80s, it will be miserable. As long as it has been used for more than three years, you must use an electric drill to remove it.

Therefore, as soon as this humble carriage was delivered, it was well received by the high-level officials of Nanzhong, including Li Shouhan and Li Huamei Shilang, and asked the enterprises directly under the central government to promote the use of these new technologies as soon as possible. The relevant craftsmen were naturally greatly commended.

On the day when the auspicious day for the wedding was chosen, the Aomei, with Li Huamei’s handsome flag flying high on its mast, slowly sailed into Guangzhou Port amidst the rumble of salutes fired by dozens of gunboats moored on the water of the Pearl River. Moored at Tianzi Wharf.

Today's Aomei has washed away the dust of the past and replaced it with flowers and brocades as decorations, just as Li Huamei has removed her military uniform and reappeared as a daughter.The moment they entered the port, music sounded, and all the sailors lined up neatly on the deck, raised their firecrackers and fired them into the air, expressing their respect and blessings to Captain Li Huamei.

Afterwards, Li Huamei, who was dressed in auspicious bridal attire, walked down the Aomei along the steps accompanied by Pangtouyu.What I saw head-on was my female soldiers standing on both sides of the road to greet them.These female soldiers who followed Li Huamei to the north and south are still wearing military uniforms today. The relationship between the female soldiers and the eldest lady has already surpassed that of monarchs and servants. The experience of facing the gunfire together made them happier than anyone else today about Li Huamei's marriage.However, the roles they played today were slightly different, somewhat similar to Li Huamei's girlfriends and natal family members.

They came here specifically to cause trouble for Shi Lang's wedding reception team! (To be continued..)
