Chapter 536
Qingzhou, Rizhao City!

It is really an industrial miracle created by Wang Hou. In the agricultural era, such a deserted island with no fertile land and no production could create such a big city. The city's population has reached 30.

What is this concept?Xiangping, a large city at the level of the entire region of Liaodong, has a population of only 20. Yecheng reached 50 in Yuan Shao's time, and now it is only about 30. Sun Quan's Jianye only has a population of less than [-].

What's even more miraculous is that in a giant city with a population of 30, the population of grain crops is only 6 to [-], and most of them operate non-staple food farming such as chickens, ducks, pigs, and sheep. There are more than [-] people in the manor, more than [-] workers in the cotton textile factory, the remaining port workers, merchants and other bits and pieces. Wang Hou's Rizhao City has transcended the agricultural era, and can even be regarded as a city in the early industrial era.

But today, the Iron and Steel Workshop, one of the two hearts of Rizhao City, has undergone some changes.

"What? Pay cut? How much?"

"Impossible! Dajiang only pays [-] yuan a month, and he doesn't even have rice! Can't you live?"

"Master Xu, you're doing well! Our little workers just take care of the food and don't pay you! You can't live, we can't live!"

The blacksmiths are middle-aged men who are used to working in front of the stove all the year round. They didn’t even wear their jackets in the morning. Looking at the notices posted at Lianhekou, the shirtless and muscular men were full of disbelief. Chattering in disorder, the scene and the sound are the same as the dwarves gathering in western fantasy.

At this time, the craftsman on the night shift who was on duty last night also came out shirtless and carrying a hammer. The leader was the Rizhao craftsman as the foreman, and he was also Chen Fangtong, the lowest official in the Rizhao yamen. He was the one who dealt with these workers most often. "Official", seeing him coming out, a large group of workers surrounded him in a clatter, and like a group of tall dwarves, they yelled and questioned excitedly.

"Carpenter Chen! Why did you have to cut your salary! You guys did nothing wrong!"

"Yeah! Big guy, why did the Texas Shepherd get upset? Even if you punish him, you can't just drop to this level and let people die!"

"Enough!"

He himself was also full of anger, being babbled so much, it was hard for Chen Fangtou to become Chen Fangtong, and the somewhat literary and rude boss also burst into anger.

"It would be fine if Master Zhou was in charge! He is considerate of the people! Master Zhou has now been dispatched to Liaodong, and he resigned from his post and will not herd us in Qingzhou! The Rizhao blacksmith is in charge of Mr. Cui Cheng from Yecheng, Master Cui from Qinghe. Sikong Cui Lin and Lieutenant Cui Yan are brothers of the gentry clan! This blacksmith’s salary is set by his scum, so what’s the use of you yelling at me!”

"I don't fucking quit! I knew that when the former craftsman Suizhou Shepherd went to Liaodong, I would go with him. Who the hell is serving this kind of skinny iron rooster!"

As he said that, Chen Fangtong really took off the little black yarn on his head and threw it on the ground, turned around cursing and left, watching his immediate boss drop the rake, he stopped scolding the monkey!For several days, the workers, blacksmiths and apprentices were all dumbfounded, but the scene of adding fuel to the fire happened again.

Following behind him, another clerk in a craftsman's supervisor's robe, whom the workers didn't know at all, with a moustache and a sarcastic expression, followed out. He also brought a dozen or so unknown supervisors with him , spat fiercely in the direction Chen Fangtong was walking, and immediately ran to the dumbfounded workers and yelled and cursed.

"Why the hell are you standing there in a daze! Don't go to work and wait to be whipped!"

"My lord! The wages have been reduced by more than ten times at once. We can't live if we work like this!"

The official word is two mouthfuls. After all, the county magistrate is not as good as the current one. Li Tiejiang, the leader of the craftsman group, has a bitter face, and he talks to the new foreman in embarrassment.

"You are always showing mercy, even if it is reduced by [-]%!"

But before he finished speaking, a loud and loud slap rang out. Under the stunned gaze of the workers, he slapped him, and the foreman bared his teeth and yelled and cursed again.

"Pickling and degrading things! You can also bargain for the rules set by the master? It is the grace of the master to give you lowly people something to eat in this world so that you can live! Do it if you want to, and do it if you don't." Get out!"

"Damn it! You fucking think that I don't care about eating your pig, so I'll stop doing it! Brothers, the bitter cold in Liaodong is bitter cold in Liaodong. I want to pack up my belongings and go to the shepherd of our state!"

This is the backbone of the working class. We rely on craftsmanship to make a living, not those few acres of land. Who will we do it for?As soon as a few master craftsmen shouted, thousands of workers shouted and shouted, and more than half of them really dispersed at once!Seeing this new foreman, the fire for the new official to take office has not yet been burned, so he was dumbfounded.

This guy is probably from a wealthy family, and he is used to domineering. Seeing this scene, he was immediately furious, but before he could see who was making the clamor, he saw the honest Li Tiejiang wandering there. It was really a dog biting like crazy, the sharp-billed monkey grinned, and the foreman bared his teeth and pointed at him and growled.

"How dare you incite craftsmen to fight against the government, rebellion! Rebellion! Come on! Catch this traitor for me!"

Li Tiejiang was really called lying on the gun, full of panic, Li Tiejiang was held down by several supervisors and thugs, and he was so frightened that his head was covered with cold sweat, he couldn't help thumping and shouting.

"The little one is wronged! The little one didn't fight against the government!"

"What are you doing? Let Uncle Li go!"

Although honest people are honest, their popularity is generally better. He taught his disciples to never hide their secrets!They have brought up a lot of great work. These days, the relationship between master and apprentice is much stronger than that of later generations. Seeing that his master was held down, a large group of his apprentices quit immediately. Turned back.

Zhengchou let everyone vent their anger, and this sharp-mouthed monkey-cheeked Haonu was really in his arms. Seeing the thumping in front of him, he growled even more fiercely.

"Everyone caught!"

It is also used to running rampant in the countryside. A group of doglegs beat them with sticks and whips without saying a word. They knocked over seven or eight workers on the spot and saw blood directly.

However, they made a wrong calculation this time. These are not artisan slaves who were lowly under the government and were oppressed to the point of being oppressed. They are blue-collar workers respected by Wang Hou!They can even be regarded as the bottom middle class, they are not the ones who are bullied.

With a bang, I don't know who was carrying the hammer with him. The melon seeds on the head of this hero are not as hard as hitting an anvil. With a bang, a 1.7-meter-old living person immediately lay down with his head blooming and limp, and died on the spot. Personally, the two groups of people who were still tearing up the bar were all stunned, and retreated with a huff.

Seeing his seven great uncles and eight great uncles slamming their foreheads on the ground, the eyes of the sharp-mouthed monkey-cheeked supervisor's eyes were red, and he pointed at the noses of the group of workers with great rage and growled.

"Kill the officials and rebel! Kill them all!"

The workers in the Rizhao Iron Works were of good quality and did not scold him, but they quietly picked up the big hammers on their belts one by one. The blacksmiths and apprentices on the night shift quietly surrounded him with hammers...
