Chapter 40 Small fishing village
In a blink of an eye, it has been three days since Zhong Yang brought the other three people to Guangzhou.
Because the situation in the city seemed a little nervous, Zhong Yang and the others did not dare to stay in Guangzhou, but found a small fishing village around the city and settled down. The head of the household was Li Adong, a fisherman who took his wife and five children to make a living by fishing. The family was not rich, and they had to raise five children and had to work hard all day long to make a living, so the couple looked very dark and thin.
Li Adong is so stubborn that he has a gibberish eyes all day long. He is a shrewd guy, although he has no knowledge. Because there are fewer people in this fishing village and not too far from Guangzhou City, Zhong Yang decided to live here. However, the living facilities are indeed a little simpler.
Transportation is basically based on walking, communication is basically based on roar, heating is basically based on shaking, and public security is basically based on dogs. This is the small fishing village called Tangwei, with a population of only 100 and is well-known for its poorness. It is a place where even thieves will burst into tears when they encounter it.
In the village, Li Adong's wooden house was a little bigger, and he could vacate two rooms for Zhong Yang and the others. In fact, Li Adong and his wife didn't understand what the rich people in dress were doing in front of them, but Li Adong was too lazy to ask so many questions about the extra income.
"Zhong Yang, why do you have to choose such a place to live?" Yi Zhongming was a little depressed. He was just a straight guy. After getting familiar with Zhong Yang and the others, he became talkative.
"Because this is remote, I don't want to go to the city yet." Zhong Yang smiled and answered Yi Zhongming's question. Seeing that he was still a little depressed, Zhong Yang walked over and patted his shoulder and smiled and continued, "I know, you think the living environment here is not good, but you won't care about these things soon."
After hearing Zhong Yang's words, Yi Zhongming still couldn't fully understand, but he didn't say anything. After all, this place was mainly based on Zhong Yang's ideas. In fact, Zhong Yang chose this place because he wanted to try to transform this small fishing village and make it a suitable base.
After so many days of exchange, although I didn’t know the specific background of the other party, Zhong Yang had decided to tell him about the existence of the smart factory. Zhong Yang felt that Yi Zhongming was a trustworthy person, and Zhong Yang also believed that he could defend himself. Now he had to gain a foothold here before he could fully develop to support Sun Dapao’s Northern Expedition.
Liu Jinyang has already been assigned to the liaison with the revolutionary party, and the more important thing about Zhong Yang now is to recruit more talents. You can also hold an education pilot in this small fishing village first, and then observe the actual results.
"Zhongming, I know what you think. You think the conditions in this fishing village are too poor. If we want to do something, we can't do it at all, right? If you are in general, your ideas are undoubtedly correct, but for me, these are not problems, and you will understand it soon."
After Zhong Yang finished speaking, he looked at Yi Zhongming who seemed a little confused in front of him. As long as he let the other party see the existence of the smart factory, he will no longer have doubts about the future.
Just as Zhong Yang and Yi Zhongming were saying these words, Li Adong came to find them. Mandarin with a strong accent came out of his yellow-toothed mouth: "Several guests, the room you want is cleaned up, you can go and have a look."
It turned out that the two marinade rooms that Zhong Yang ordered had been packed, and the bedding needed were also purchased by Li Adong's wife with the silver dollars that Zhong Yang paid in advance to the market, and also invited two older children from the village to help. This incident spread very quickly. Everyone in the village knew that Li Adong's family had lived in a few generous young people, and many were vaguely envious.
In the evening, Mrs. Li and the two children who had completed the procurement task came back with a wheelbarrow. According to Zhong Yang's request, they bought four thin beds and four mats, and four mosquito nets. There are also many mosquito nets in the coastal areas, so it is definitely a tragedy if you don't get off the mosquito net.
Taking the reward given by Zhong Yang, the two children left happily. Seeing them happy, Mrs. Li smiled happily. Although she had never been to school and could not read, Mrs. Li was a typical Chinese woman who was very good at managing the family and was diligent. The cost of buying these daily necessities was much more cost-effective than Zhong Yang's own purchase, but Zhong Yang also took out part of the money to thank the other party. After a little refusal, Mrs. Li still smiled and accepted it.
After taking Zhong Yang's money, Mrs. Li diligently helped them organize the room. Because of the food and accommodation here, Zhong Yang paid the food fee in advance and asked Li Adong to buy some cooked food and add food. It's time to come back to see the weather.
Because Li Adong came back late, the dinner time was postponed to 8 o'clock. Fortunately, the season has begun to warm up and it has become a little late. Although the sky is still dark, it does not affect the atmosphere of the meal after lighting the oil lamp.
"Come on, let's just sit and eat together." Seeing that the two Dong's family were standing aside and seemed a little restrained, Zhong Yang smiled happily and called them to come and eat together.
"It's not suitable, let's wait." Although Li Adong was a little shrewd, his life and identity were limited to his cognition. When he met Zhong Yang's warm greeting, he still seemed a little shy.
"If you have any inappropriate things, come and sit here. Let's eat together. Don't let the child get hungry, come here quickly. This meal is not for nothing. In the future, we will ask Mrs. Li to take charge of all three meals a day."
It was really hard to resist Zhong Yang and the others' enthusiasm, so Li Adong and his family of seven also sat down. Because the table was too small, several more tables were brought together, and it was only a person who sat down around a table full of dishes.
After a greeting, everyone started to eat. Three men, two women and five children, looking at the table full of meat, all desperately putting vegetables into their mouths. It shouldn't be the way they could eat meat often. In this era, it would be great for the lower class people to eat two or three meals with some meat in a year and a half.
Seeing the children's voracious devour, Li Adong and Li Sao were a little embarrassed and were busy apologizing to Zhong Yang. Especially Li Sao, she directly scolded several children.
"Haha, it's okay, it's okay, and I can't eat much. If the children like to eat, let them eat more. It's the time to grow up." Zhong Yang smiled and stopped Li's rebuke to the children. He looked at these childish children kindly, and looked at their bright eyes, and felt a heavy responsibility.
Although I feel disdainful of the prisoner theory of many people, providing the people with relatively abundant living conditions is indeed the country's top priority. If the government fails to do this, any reason is dog shit. Zhong Yang is committed to being such a big businessman, the chaebol behind China, working hard for the basic survival of hundreds of millions of people. Instead of being a politician or military strategist, these people cannot save China.
Zhong Yang is not sure that he can shoulder this important task himself, but there are always some things that people have to do. Whether others do such thankless things is something Zhong Yang cannot control, but he can manage himself well, that is enough.
Amidst a pleasant laugh, they finished this sumptuous supper. Several half-aged children were full of meat and greasy mouths, and their stomachs were full of bloated food. Seeing their happy appearance, Zhong Yang felt a warmth in his heart. In this cold time and space everywhere, he had new expectations for the future for the first time. Adults have been tortured by life, but these still retain childish children and different hopes.
"Adong, what do children do usually do?" Zhong Yang asked in a tentative tone. Although Zhong Yang also wanted to open a few early childhood education versions, he didn't want to appear too abrupt after all.
Hearing Zhong Yang's question, Li Adong quickly put down the porcelain bowl with hot water in his hand and replied nervously: "I didn't do anything. Azhen and Ayu are still older and can help the family do some housework. The other three children are still young, and they stay in the village every day without any trouble, so we don't have time to care."
"Didn't you think about sending them to school?"
"Oh, when the scenery was good in the past, there were hundreds of people in the village. At that time, the village raised a sum of money and specially invited a private school teacher from the county to teach the children to read some books and read a word. But in recent years, the military has been in chaos, and the taxes have been getting heavier year by year. Most of the capable people in the village have fled to famine. If you have spare money, who doesn't want the children at home to have a future? Isn't this impossible?"
Under Zhong Yang's patient inquiry, Li Adong sighed and expressed his depression. He was a little shy at first, but now he completely opened up and talked about these old past events. He talked about the past from the past to the present in the village.
The fragmented memories, coupled with Li Adong's description method without any professional skills, would have been confused for a long time and would not want to pay attention to this down-and-out fisherman.
But Zhong Yang didn't think so. In his opinion, what Li Adong said might be a bit messy, with many places being repeated and overlapping, and some even not real. But no matter what, the situation in the village is indeed getting worse every year. The change in the state of the small fishing village in Tangwei is not an individual case, but a microcosm of the development of various villages in China in this time and space. The melee brought about by warlord separatism, which led to a huge military expenditure that is high. Warlords with no economic and business philosophy are the only thing they are good at is increasing taxes.
Under the dual oppression of imperialist powers and domestic warlord forces, more than 90% of the peasants in China were ruthlessly exploited. This accumulation of hatred will surely be completely stimulated one day in the future. Unfortunately, only the Social Democratic Party, who has returned from the Soviet Union to learn from the Soviet Union, had always been only intellectuals and a small group of celebrities.
Even the Social Democratic Party has only had the intention of making use of the situation and has not really considered the interests of farmers. Zhong Yang was thinking about changing this normal situation in China. Tangwei Village is a pilot project for Zhong Yang.
