Temporary workers in the war

Back at the compound of the Nanjing Nationalist Government, Dai Li dragged Feng Quan to his room.Wanting to know about Feng Quan's movements, wanting to explore the wind, "It would be nice to have another "Tianzhong Memorial" incident, wouldn't I have a higher status in Jiang Gong's mind?" Dai Li kept yelling in his heart.Unexpectedly, he was stopped by Feng Quanlei, "What's so good about Chongqing? There are mountains everywhere, and the road is so difficult."

"Hehe, brother Yunong, it's nothing. On the way to the northeast, I took in a servant. There are five people in my family including him. I sent them to buy a house in Chongqing. I haven't visited it yet. Let’s go and have a look this time.”

With that said, Feng Quan took out two large gold bars and handed them to Dai Li.The agent declined for a while, but didn't insist anymore, and skillfully put it in his pocket.Hehe, what are you pretending, do I want to tell you that I know your greedy and lustful character?

After chatting for a while, Feng Quan was tired and had to go to Chongqing tomorrow, "Brother Yunong, I'm going back, so you should go to bed earlier."

"Okay, this time you go and take Lin Chiling with you. Chi Buzhou has something else to do. After about 20 days, I will send him to you and let him take the train. You will pick him up. Lin Chiling, send Commander Feng back to rest. "

Lin Chiling took Feng Quan to a room, Feng Quan looked at it, it was good, it was clean, and the facilities were complete.The feeling is also very good, I haven't had a good rest for several days, and I will never come to Nanjing again next time.

"Lingling, there's nothing else to do now, you go out, I want to rest."

"I... I dare not? Officer Dai sent me to be your secretary to serve you. You... you can do whatever you want?"

Lin Chiling hesitated, her face flushed.

Feng Quan was stunned, where is this going?

"Well, don't worry too much. I'm not that kind of person. I won't make things difficult for you."

Feng Quan waved his hand, motioning for her to back down.Lin Chiling did not expect to meet a good person, and left with an expression of disbelief.

Early the next morning, Feng Quan took Lin Chiling on the big boat to Chongqing.On the way, I learned about Lin Chiling's situation. It turns out that this person should not be underestimated.She is an only child, and her family conditions are average, and she is regarded as the apple of her eye by her parents.After graduating from a rural elementary school, because she was not used to rural life, her parents had no choice but to sell their property, so they took her to the big city of Nanjing.After finishing middle school, she was admitted to Jinling Women's University in Suiyuan, Ninghai Road, where she majored in English.When I was about to graduate, my father died of illness, and my mother also passed away half a year later with sadness and worry for her daughter.

After graduation, Lin Chiling was only 19 years old, with no relatives, and her hometown's property was gone.It happened that the Fuxing Club was recruiting workers, and I felt that the treatment was good, so I signed up. . .

As she spoke, Lin Chiling couldn't control herself anymore and burst into tears.Feng Quan was at a loss and didn't know what to do, so he had to comfort him.Unexpectedly, Lin Chiling cried even harder. She threw herself into Feng Quan's arms, crying loudly, and many people around her turned their gazes over, bewildered.

"Okay, okay, Lingling, don't cry, I will protect you from now on..."

In his previous life, Feng Quan was very soft-hearted, and the last thing he could do was to see others cry.When I was young, I felt very sad when I saw other people's funerals.After time travel, Feng Quan finally got this beautiful secretary, but he didn't expect to cry so hard.The pear blossoms are raining, let alone Feng Quan, even the hard-hearted can't stand it.

"Lingling, don't cry, look at the shore, those stretchers are all shirtless, the rope is so thick, the road is not easy to walk, it's so hard.

Now they have entered the mountainous area. During the period of the Republic of China, most of the transportation vehicles on the mountainous waterways were wooden boats, while the water transportation vehicles in Yanhe, Dejiang and Sinan were wooden boats called crooked buttocks.Wooden boats traveling upstream have to rely on trackers to pull the fibers on the shore to sail slowly due to the rapids.The fiber pulling behavior of the boatman can be said to be intermittent, and it is necessary to rely on fiber pulling when the boat travels upstream through rapids and dangerous shoals.Under normal circumstances, a boatman is at the helm, and sails are used to control the movement and direction of the wooden boat.

Compared with the coastal and plain areas, Sichuan has too many mountains and the road is difficult to walk.It will be 30 years now, and transportation still mainly depends on water transportation.In particular, the Three Gorges area is a famous complex mountainous area with high mountains and steep slopes, multiple mountains and ravines. The folks often say that the environmental layout here is "eight mountains, half water, one field, half roads and manors". The social activity space of the Three Gorges trackers is in On top of this "half-divided water", this half-divided water stretches for thousands of miles from Yibin to Yichang.

Compared with the vast majority of peasants who work at sunrise and rest at sunset in the rural land of China, the Three Gorges trackers have seen a much wider world, and they have done many things that people living in the mainstream society could not have imagined.As the people of the rivers and lakes, the Three Gorges trackers have a wider social space than their geographical space. They go to Chongqing, go to Wuhan, go to the post station, visit the flower street, cross the pawns, transport the arms...

Lin Chiling looked in the direction of Feng Quan's finger and stopped crying.Feng Quan had never been here before, looking at the great rivers and mountains of the motherland, he was filled with emotion.I hope that my arrival can change history a little bit.

Soon, the two came to Chaotianmen Wharf. Chaotianmen was built in 314 BC when Qin General Zhang Yi destroyed the Ba Kingdom when he built the city of Bajun.In the early Ming Dynasty, Dai Ding expanded the old city of Chongqing and built 17 city gates according to the number of nine palaces and eight trigrams, among which the largest gate was Chaotianmen.There are four big characters in the original book on the door: "Ancient Chongqing Xiongguan".Chaotianmen is the place where the officials of all dynasties received the emperor's imperial decree. In ancient times, the emperor was called the son of heaven, so it got its name.

In 1891, Chongqing was turned into a commercial port, and Chaotianmen began to set up customs. In 19', Chongqing was established as a city. In order to expand the size of the city and solve the problems of narrow streets and traffic congestion, Chongqing began to carry out modern municipal construction. Being demolished in batches, the changes in the original urban pattern accelerated. Chaotianmen was the first city gate to be demolished due to its importance in transportation.Since then, the symbol of the ancient Chongqing City, which has a history of at least 550 years, Chaotianmen Tower, has disappeared from the world, and there is not even a photo of the city gate left.

Chongqing's prosperity, to a certain extent, is concentrated in this water portal - Chaotianmen.Chaotianmen is the hub of the two rivers, and it is also the largest water terminal in Chongqing. Since ancient times, there are many masts and sails on the river, boats shuttle, and the riverside piers are densely covered with people walking like ants. ears.Outside the gate, there are many streets and alleys along the river banks on both sides. Although most of them are shantytowns and stilted buildings, they are also a bustling city with prosperous commerce.So until today, this area is still the most prosperous commercial wholesale and retail area in the city.

Following the steps that appear from time to time, Feng Quan and the two came to Tongyuan Gate.The city of Chongqing prospers because of the water wharf, and there are many shops in the city, which are constantly learning from the old and absorbing the new.The prosperous world is limited to the urban area. As the dividing line between urban and rural areas in Chongqing, the two sides of the city wall of Tongyuanmen are completely different worlds.Vendors selling snacks yelled loudly, pedestrians on the road hurried away, mules neighed and horses screamed, and there was a lot of traffic.

Before Feng Quan entered the city gate, Zhang Laosan saw a familiar figure from a distance, and there was a lady next to him, probably a lady he had never seen before, she was too young.He quickly greeted him with a bamboo stick.

"Master, madam, you are finally here! I have been waiting for you for more than half a year. Madame has had a hard time on the road. Let's go home quickly."
