There is a home in the depths of the white clouds

July is a busy month in Shanghai County. While picking up the rice, transplanting rice seedlings has to be done quickly. Taking advantage of the hot weather, the rice has to go to the field as soon as possible. The double-cropping rice matures quickly, and the hotter the weather, the faster it will grow.

The progress of the glass factory was slow due to the temperature.

But the textile factory was very popular. After all, Wu Youwei had someone get a new type of textile cart out, and one person could support eight people.

The textile factory of Lao Huang's family has been expanded now, but they are short of manpower. Their family bought more than 200 girls for weaving.

"Well, can't we recruit women from good families?" Wu Youwei suggested to Huang Axing: "It's the same as working."

"I'm afraid...it's difficult!" Huang Axing shook his head.

"I saw that there are many women spinning and weaving in the south of the Yangtze River?" Wu Youwei couldn't understand: "Why is it so difficult to get to Shanghai County?"

What impressed him most was the textile factory in later generations, where there were many female workers, and the wages of each of them were not low.

"It's different, they are spinning and weaving at home, but going to the factory...is a little..." Huang Axing worried Wu Youwei: "After all, there are many people outside.

Only then did Wu Youwei remember, oh, goddamn men and women.

It's okay for a few women to go out to buy and sell needlework, cloth and the like, and it's okay to do business, but it's not good to get together.

The only thing in this world that can bring many girls together is...the Brothel Chu Pavilion.

No matter how nice the workmanship sounds, it won't work.

Who knows what you're doing there?

And no one saw it.

But to let people in... that's even more impossible.

If the factory allows people to enter at will, and it is full of women... Wu Youwei can be drowned just by the spittle of these people.

"The people who bought it were very nice. The young ones promised them that they would be free after ten years of work. At that time, if they still wanted to work in the factory, they would be paid monthly money." Huang Axing said: "If you want to marry someone locally It's also okay, when the time comes, I will ask the master to approve a good registration.

"Definitely, definitely!" Wu Youwei thought for a while: "Why don't you tell them to the navy?"

The navy now has an establishment of 3 people, half of whom have no wives!

Moreover, Wantong does not allow women in the army, that is to say, there is no women's branch in the army.

"Okay!" Huang Ahxing said: "There are more than 50 women in their 20s, but they are not very beautiful, and they are all ordinary."

He can't even afford a beautiful maid!

"Yes, yes!" Wu Youwei nodded: "Marry a wife and a virtuous person.

Besides, the people in the navy don't look very good, they are all chocolate sauce, and they are not very handsome.

After going back at night, it happened that Wantong came back from the barracks with Wang Zhi and his men, and Zhang Shen was sitting in the camp.

Wang Zhi planned to leave tomorrow: "The emperor must want to know about the things here sooner. Our family will go back earlier and tell the emperor that this place is prosperous!"

The child was probably very excited, with a puffy face and sparkling eyes.

Wu Youwei didn't dare to provoke him, so he stayed for three days and prepared some gifts by the way. When Wang went straight, the vehicle that came brought it back, and it was still full of things.

After sending Wang Zhi away, Wu Youwei told Wantong about the female workers at Huang Axing's place that night.

"I can ask, there are really some old bachelors in the camp." Wantong thought for a while and agreed.

He returned to the barracks the next day.

It's just that the next three to five days will be cloudy and rainy. Although the wind is not strong, it is said that the sea is very stormy.

Fortunately, the county seat of Shanghai is quite far from the port, and the wind and waves will not affect the farmland behind the county seat.

Wait until August to prepare for the holidays.

On August [-]th, Shanghai County was very lively, with many sacrifices and even more moon cakes for Wu Youwei.

After August [-]th, when the rice was ripe and ready to be harvested, Wantong sent a letter: There was an enemy attacking the border, and asked him to take good care of his people.

Wu Youwei immediately asked someone to post a notice that the situation has not been peaceful recently, and everyone is guarding the door. At the same time, all kinds of defenses are also actively preparing for battle. Shanghai County is already very familiar with the enemy.

But he set his posture here, and waited for half a month, but there was no movement.

The same is true for Wantong, but then they received the news.

In September Xinmao, Li Yizhang, the Zhongguan guarding Zhejiang, killed Ma Zhang, the commander of Ningbo Guards!

"Killed?" Wu Youwei was stunned for a moment, "Isn't this guarding the eunuch too much?"

Because he got along well with Zhang Shen, Wu Youwei didn't treat him as an outsider, so he said it in front of him.

Zhang Shen was also puzzled: "Li Yi is not that kind of person, so how come he can't get along with his commander?"

There are many people with this idea.

It's just because I'm busy cleaning up the autumn. I was afraid of the Japanese pirates and pirates before, and people didn't dare to go out. Now that I'm fine, I hurried to the field to pack the rice.

At the same time, the construction of Wu Youwei's new urban area was almost complete, so he began to sell houses in the new urban area, but anyone who bought a house in the local area would be settled. The requirements were still those requirements, but there were many more. Families with more than [-] households can be given priority in settling down in the local area.

As soon as this condition comes out, okay, the matchmaker going to the navy camp almost blocked the gate of the camp!

Wantong came back and glared at Wu Youwei: "Look at the good deeds you have done.

Wu Youwei hugged his belly on the bed and laughed until he fell down: "Is there really someone blocking the door?"

"Isn't it!" Wantong sat on the bed and couldn't help laughing: "Many of them are matchmakers. People with daughters in ten miles and eight villages have entrusted matchmakers to go to the camp, saying that they will kiss each other if they see something good. , I sent people out to maintain order, but after sending 500 people back, more than 300 people... had a target.

"Hahaha...!" Wu Youwei was overjoyed, and after a while he said, "When will we get married?

"Dongyue." This is different from the north. In the north, it is spring and autumn, and the farming is busy before and after marriage; in the south, most of them are winter, twelfth and first month. After February, they start to be busy, and there are no relatives and friends. Free time to attend the wedding. "How about holding a group wedding?" Wu Youwei said enthusiastically, "At the seaside, in front of the statue of Mazu, worshiping heaven and earth..." He thought of a picture with historical significance.

"Who wants to be with others when they get married?" Wantong shook his head: "I know how to think wildly."

"How can it be a wild idea?" Wu Youwei said unconvinced: "This can not only save money, but also make sense. In the future, everyone will be married in one day, and the world of worship in one place will be great! "

Wantong thought for a while: "Unless the other party is an orphan and has no relatives or elders around, I, the boss, will help them out."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Wu Youwei also turned around: "It's the kind of orphan."

Seeing that he was very interested, Wantong also thought this idea was good, so he went to the camp to find orphans, and there were quite a few of them.

Some of these people are orphans of martyrs, and some escaped from disasters. Anyway, they are single people who are neither old nor young, and have no brothers left or right.

Wantong quickly organized them to meet the female workers in Huang Axing's textile factory.

It's not Huang Axing's turn to buy good-looking girls. These female workers are either sold because they can't support themselves, or they sell themselves because they escaped hardship, and some are simply orphans. The people brought by Wantong are pretty good. Good match, both of them were born as bitter children.

Wantong's money is now in Wu Youwei's place, and he usually carries a purse of silver coins and a bunch of copper coins as pocket money.

Now it's time to hold a wedding for his subordinates, so he has to ask Wu Youwei to get the money.

"You don't need to take care of this matter, I can handle it!" Wu Youwei said: "You have no experience."

Wantong strangely thought of the wedding of Wu Youwei's dozen or so righteous sisters: "Okay, then I'll leave it to County Magistrate Wu.

Wu Youwei was very proud of being "entrusted" by Wantong.

Full of enthusiasm to do this meaningful thing.

He was willing to spend money. This time there were a hundred couples getting married. He made a wedding dress for each couple. Each bride had two silk head flowers, a gold hairpin, a silver hairpin, and a wedding dress. A pair of silver bracelets and a pair of gold rings.

Since not all girls have their ears pierced, Wu Youwei didn't prepare any earrings.

The groom gave a uniform buckle made of high-quality mutton fat jade.

The new house is of course on Yingdao, where there is a fixed family area. Wu Youwei built all three-story small buildings inside, and he dared not build too high. First, there is relatively strong wind there; The quality also feels not as solid as later generations.

However, the unified residential area is almost the same as it was in the 70s and [-]s.

The bed, wardrobe, suitcase and a set of tables, chairs and benches are uniformly distributed in the room.

Two sets of bedding, one hundred catties of rice, one hundred catties of white noodles, twenty catties of bacon and five salted fish.

As well as the ten taels of silver at the bottom of the press box, and two strings of Zhanzhanxin copper coins, these are things for them to live in. As for how to live in the future?It doesn't matter how to distribute these things.

As soon as he saw it, the whole Shanghai County was in motion. The Dahong Xibu was almost sold out, and various ingredients were also prepared.

They finally decided to hold a wedding banquet at Mazu Square next to Wusongkou Wharf. They opened 1 seats generously, and each table sat [-] people, which is [-] people!

Each table is also a standard six dishes, one soup and one staple food.

Three meat and three vegetables, fish soup, rice.

One hundred couples, the bridegroom holds the sedan chair, the bride sits in the sedan chair, and the small sedan chair for two people is newly made, with big red flowers wrapped on the top, and the names of the bride and groom are pasted on both sides of the sedan chair.

The hired more than 20 joy teams walked all the way from the dormitory building of the textile factory to Mazu Square.

Well, along the way, there are so many people watching the fun!

At the same time, Wantong and Wu Youwei attended the wedding as witnesses.

The master of ceremonies, Zhang Shen himself, held a loudspeaker and shouted amidst the sound of firecrackers at the auspicious time: "Bow to heaven and earth!"

All the newcomers worshiped heaven and earth.

The sound of firecrackers stopped, and Zhang Shen shouted again: Second worship to the emperor!

Everyone "coaxed" all of a sudden, dumbfounded!

The emperor is here?

It turned out that the new people bowed in the direction of the north, and only then did they understand that this meant kneeling in the direction of the imperial city, not that the emperor was coming.

The third worship is the husband and wife worship.

After the completion of the ceremony, flowers and petals floated down from the sky. Shanghai County lacks everything, but this kind of thing is not lacking.

The wine is all water and wine, and it is not on the top. It is only for those who come to the wedding. Even if each person only brings one copper coin, the 1 people are 1 copper coins.

One hundred taels of silver is here.

Once a couple gets married, the gift money they receive is enough for three years.

What's more, most of these visitors are locals from Shanghai County. Now that they have a lot of money, they are willing to give face to their hometown.

The new people's red envelopes are soft.

Wantong and Wu Youwei were sitting among the one hundred tables in the first row, and some people were also sitting together. Wantong looked at it for a long time and asked Wu Youwei: "How much gift money did they give?"

"It doesn't matter how much you give." Wu Youwei said, "Anyway, it's not named."

"Anonymous?" Wantong was surprised: "What will happen after that...?"

He couldn't go on.

"How to give the gift?" Wu Youwei curled his lips: "The group wedding I hold is to give these orphans and orphans a chance to get married, not to win connections. If it is for this, how many gifts do they give today? Do you want these officers and soldiers to return gifts one by one? They will be bored to death if they are exhausted, and this is like forming a party for personal gain, and it is also linked to military power. "

Wantong thought about it, isn't it!

"But such blatantly forming a party for personal gain is unjustifiable." Zhang Shen said from the side: "Who would impeach you for such a thing?"

"You can't tell!" Wu Youwei ate a mouthful of cold day lily: "I got so many people here, but I didn't want to blame the crowd."
