505 Taipei (4)

Young Master Huang Yusheng is from Sanming, Fujian.

Sanming is a mountainous area, so the Huang family is a small clan from the valley.

Following successive years of natural disasters, severe droughts, and increasingly harsh exploitation by the government, the Huang people felt that their lives were unbearable, so they decided to flee collectively.

This kind of collective flight from famine was very common in ancient times. Especially in the northern region, whenever there was a major disaster or military rebellion, a large number of Han people would move south collectively - the Western Jin Dynasty, the late Tang Dynasty, the late Song Dynasty, the late Ming Dynasty, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, etc.

The five great migrations of the Han people to the south created the Hakka groups in later generations in various parts of the south.

What is different from the past is that this time the Huang family has a new choice to escape collectively: Tainan.

Fujian and Tainan are separated by a sea, and coupled with Xiong Wencan's "re-opening" attitude, Fujian is the Ming province most severely infiltrated by cross-country people.

The migration process for the Huang family this time is very simple: you only need to go to any city along the coast, find the "labor recruitment points" run by Marshal Cao in various downtowns, consult with the clerks about the conditions, and then the family can set off.

After the refugees set off, as long as they take the voucher issued here, they can find a special reception point in any county along the way, and all food, drink and accommodation will be reimbursed.

So the Huang family came to Tainan, so relaxed that it didn't feel like an escape at the beginning of last year.

After that, the treatment everyone received was quite satisfactory. Not only did everyone live in a beautiful wooden apartment, but they also had a canteen where they could eat a lot of food.

Of course, the premise of all this is to help Marshal Cao pay off his debts.

However, Huang Yusheng's family was treated differently. One morning half a month after arriving in Tainan, the family of four was singled out again, ordered to be packed in soft clothes, and put on a ship to Taipei without saying a word. Lian and He

The clan members were not given a chance to say goodbye.

After the family arrived in Taipei in fear, they were uneasy at first. Especially Huang's father, he judged very firmly that his family was going to be wiped out by the man named Cao... After all, there are also rich abbots in poor temples.

, as the head of the Huang family, he still had a lot of money in his wallet.

Although all this silver was forcibly converted into banknotes before, banknotes are now deeply rooted in people's hearts, and everyone knows that this thing is equivalent to silver in Tainan.

Facts have proved that Huang's father thought too much. Although the environment in Taipei is a bit harsh, the social scene is no different from that in Tainan. It is still in a period of rapid development, and there is no government to extort money from his family.

Father Huang soon found out the real reason: it turned out that this was the place where important members of the clan were exiled!

After learning that the neighbors living in simple houses had the same experience, Huang's father finally found the real reason. However, it was too late to say anything at this time. Information from Taipei flowed in unilaterally, and outsiders had no idea what was going on here.

Condition.

In this way, after being knocked back to his original form and losing the clansman he could rely on in the past, Huang's father, who was accustomed to the increase of power, could not bear the psychological gap and soon died of illness.

But as the saying goes: One dragon gives birth to nine sons.

Huang Yusheng, the theoretical young patriarch, was born with an optimistic temperament, which was different from his father who valued power very much.

From Yusheng's point of view, since everyone has wiped their faces and defected to Marshal Cao, life and death are naturally in the hands of others, let alone being dispersed.

Besides, based on the situation they witnessed in Tainan, their own clansmen must be living a good life now, so they shouldn’t worry about it and let each family take care of themselves.

Therefore, after the death of his father who was the patriarch of the clan, Master Yusheng, the official head of the family, promptly took out his savings and bought a newly built two-story building facing the street in Luangang Town.

At this time, due to the new development and poor environment in Langang Town, there were many people waiting and watching, but not many people were willing to spend their capital to buy properties.

So Huang Yusheng got a bargain: a new brick-concrete building cost only half of his family's savings.

After acquiring the property, his family lived on the second floor, rented out two rooms, and opened a grocery store on the first floor. In this way, Huang Yusheng settled his mother and younger sister.

As for him, he signed up to work as a financial supervisor/supervisor for the second construction company that was currently flourishing in Luangang Town.

Huang Yusheng's two choices are invisibly in line with the "trend" of current development.

First of all, with the arrival of a large number of resources and slaves, Suangang Town has become increasingly prosperous. After just one year, it is now impossible to spend that much money to buy a small building.

Secondly, after working in the Second Construction Company, which is equivalent to a state-owned enterprise, Huang Yusheng obtained far more information than ordinary people, so he gradually recognized the hidden power of the Marshal's Mansion, and gradually integrated into the new system through daily work. In addition,

Young people accept new ideas quickly, so today Young Master Yusheng has become a qualified middle- and lower-level manager needed by an emerging regime.

During this process, Yusheng also met many characters, among whom the one who liked the young master the most was the reckless Mr. Wu.

There is no doubt that Mr. Wu is a man with a story. In addition, Mr. Wu saved Mr. Yusheng’s life twice on a dangerous construction site, which cannot be ignored.

As a result, two people with completely different backgrounds and identities formed a lifelong friendship and struggled together in this land where vitality and crisis coexisted.

.....................

After the lunch break that day, Wu Sanye and others saw off the boat transporting the corpse, then took turns to wash their hands and eat, and then stayed at the construction site until evening before organizing the team to get off work.

After several years of exploration, the Travelers are now quite experienced in how to manage slave camps.

On this isolated desert island, supervisors such as Mr. Wu and others had relatively loose supervision over the slaves - just run away if you wanted. Fugitive slaves could survive in the primeval forests of Taipei in the 17th century.

You'll be able to do it in three days.

Therefore, after the slaves finished work, they all lined up voluntarily and were escorted by guards with firearms back to the slave camp.

Due to the constant relocation of the construction road section, the so-called slave camp is actually a camp made of tents and temporary straw sheds.

Once here, the slaves' work for the day is completed. The large, steaming iron pot has prepared enough calories to feed them.

The most important items in the diet are brown rice and miscellaneous fish, which were later replaced by potatoes and fish. As for vegetables, this is not a problem in Taipei with a mild climate. Just open a few vegetable gardens to meet the food needs of the work section.

After finishing the meal, the slaves had time to completely relax. Of course, there was another hurdle to pass before that: a temperature check.

Malaria is by no means the only disease that can cause widespread population loss. In this era of blending of the East and the West, there are at least dozens of infectious diseases that threaten human beings living in groups at all times.

Therefore, body temperature detection has become the only most effective detection method: any slave with signs of elevated body temperature will be isolated for observation. Once this person continues to have a fever in the next few days, then I'm sorry, Wu Sanye's youthful age

The hammer will knock off...even if it is a simple cold, this will happen, because there is no medicine to treat colds in the slave camp, and it is impossible to tell whether it is a cold.

After such a difficult day, that night, a company clerk who came panting from the slave camp brought a shocking document to Wu Sanye and Yusheng: a new department, the "Pioneering Army", was now deploying manpower from all over the place.
Chapter completed!
