Chapter 165 Poor Scholar 2

"Oh? Is that true? If that's the case, it's really strange! They are just a bunch of pirates. How can they do this?" Lin Yiyang was even more surprised after hearing this.

"Brother, you don't know this! The head of this sea wolf is not an ordinary person. Although he is a pirate, he is a chivalrous man! Since he joined Nanri Island, the people on Nanri Island have really enjoyed it!

The head of Yu has never allowed his subordinates to harm the poor people. The people on the island are in trouble, and he also reaches out to help. In addition, the area of Fuzhou has become much more peaceful since he has been in charge!

They only attacked some unruly merchant ships, rarely harmed the people along the coast, and rarely attacked and plundered villages. Instead, they cut off many small bandits in this area and made peace along the coast!

I heard that there were several fishermen along the coast in the past, and then they were also killed by the head of the family. Now there are many more fishermen in our area than before, and their lives are much better!

Although these sea wolf brothers are nominally thieves, they are hundreds of times better than officers and soldiers and those government servants!

If it weren't for the old and young people at home, I would have come to do it for the house! You don't know! The sea wolf's brothers are getting a lot more pay! Although the head of the family is strictly controlled by his opponents, he is very generous in paying money. Usually, his brothers have paid money, and if they work, they can still be separated from what they get. They don't dare to say fat oil, and at least they live a good life.

Just the little money you just gave them, it's not that they don't want it. They really can't see it! What a pity! I don't have this blessing to be a head of the family, otherwise, our family's life will be much better than now!"

The boatman shook his head and looked regretful.

After listening to the boatman's words, Lin Yiyang couldn't help but be a little stunned. Although he had heard that the sea wolf gang was different and popular among the people in the coastal area before he came, he did not expect that even the boatman on the boat he was on so much respected the sea wolf surname Yu.

So he couldn't help but be curious about the sea wolf and the head of the family, so as he walked, he chatted with the boatman and kept inquired about the sea wolf gang.

When he entered the inside of the business stack area, he was shocked by the scene in front of him, because before he came here, he thought that although there were some shops here, but after all, this is a thief's nest. It must be a mess and will not be lively. Maybe the people who come here are some extremely vicious people. But I didn't think that after entering this business stack area, I found that it was completely different from what he thought.

The commercial warehouse area does not look like a place inside the thief's den at all. The area here is very large, and the whole commercial warehouse area is divided by four streets in a tic shape.

And the streets here are very neat and clean, not like the streets of the market town at all. Garbage is everywhere, sewage flows, and flies fly around. The streets here are very wide, twice as wide as ordinary market streets, which can accommodate four carriages in parallel and are not crowded.

And every other distance, a bamboo basket will be placed on the roadside. On the street, people with brooms will go back and forth to clean the street and clean up the garbage into these bamboo baskets. Moreover, when he entered the commercial warehouse area, he also saw an ox cart, which picked up the garbage in the bamboo baskets along the street and put the bamboo baskets. The garbage was emptied, poured into the ox cart, and then pulled out of the warehouse area. I don't know where it was sent.

And what surprised him more was that it was not far from the merchant warehouse area, and the boatman went to a place. Lin Yiyang quickly asked him what he was doing. The boatman turned his head and said, "Let's go out!"

Urban management in the Ming Dynasty is actually very backward, even far worse than the previous Tang and Song dynasties. There are few public toilets on the streets of urban market towns. Many people go to some uninhabited places to pay their respect directly. Most of the dead corners of urban streets are coquettish and smelly, and there is no special personnel for garbage. Responsible, it seems that there is garbage everywhere.

Anyone who comes to Nanri Island for the first time on land is very surprised by the cleanliness here, and there are special public toilets at both ends of the street for pedestrians here to pay temporary respect.

Obviously, the boatman has been here many times before. After getting off the boat, he felt a little anxious. As soon as he entered the business trestle area, he went straight to a toilet on the street. On the wall of the toilet, there was also a large public toilet painted with white gray, and there was one on both sides of the street, marked with the word "male and female. The literate person immediately You can see which toilet you should go to.

Lin Yiyang was even more surprised that there was a public toilet here. He had no idea before. When he saw the boatman going to the toilet, he couldn't help raising his legs and followed him in.

After the boatman finished his work, he turned his head and said to Lin Yiyang, who followed him in, "How's it, brother? Is it better than a market town on land? The sea wolves here are really thoughtful. There are such toilets at every corner of the street to save people peeing on the street!

In addition, don't think it's Nanri Island. It's hard to say that this is a nest of thieves, but there are many rules. If someone casually sprays on the street, someone will come over and ask, and at worst, they will be fined five yuan, so no one here dares to pee anywhere on the street!"

Lin Yiyang looked at the equally clean toilet with a row of toilets in it, so he nodded and said, "It's really unexpected! It's surprising here! By the way, are there people who are specially responsible for cleaning these toilets?

The boatman was obviously familiar here, so he tied his trousers and nodded and said, "Of course! You don't know that not everyone can clean up the toilet here. This feces is a good fertilizer! Nowadays, many people farming in Nanri Island are counting on more grain in the fields. These dungs and urine are good fertilizers. Who doesn't want to get back fertilizer?

So if anyone wants to collect these feces and urine, they don't want to come. They have to pay for the sea wolf to come. Moreover, there are rules that need to be cleaned regularly. Several toilets here are not managed by one family and have been divided into several companies. If they can't manage them well, they will be replaced immediately, so you have also seen this. It's clean and tight!"

Lin Yiyang was no longer surprised to describe his mood when he heard this. He did not expect that a place controlled by pirates could be managed like this. Even the land government may not be able to manage a place so much. Since he went to the island, it has brought him one by one surprise. Surprised, he didn't know what to say at this time.

After getting out of the toilet, Lin Yiyang asked the boatman, "Just now you said there are still a lot of farmland here?" I heard before that Nanri Island is not a desert island? Except for some fishermen who make a living here fishing, there is no farmer!"

The boatman shook his head and smiled, "You really don't know this!" What you said is an old almanac! In the past, when Nanri Island was a shark gang, it was a desert island, and the fishermen were a little bit, but there were only two fishing villages on the island. I heard the fishermen here say that they lived a hard life! Those bastards of the Shark Gang often spoil the women in their village, and there are many women who are forced to jump into the sea to die!

Later, after Yu Dadang came, he was very strict with the subordinates. Once I heard that two guys drank too much and pulled a woman to a place where there was no one was. Later, someone sued Yu Dadang. Even if Yu Dadang arrested these two men and handed them over to the prison hall for disposal, the prison hall did not say anything. The man beat fifty military sticks and tied them to the dock for three days.

I happened to see those two people, and the one who hit them was miserable! No one dares to harm the people on the island again!

In the past two years, the head has recruited many immigrants from the land to come to the island to open up wasteland and farm. The island has now opened thousands of mu of land and planted a lot of grain, and the head has treated these immigrants very well. Their life is much better than when they were on land!

I've thought about it. If I can't live any longer, I will either come to be the head of the family or move my family here!

By the way, I heard that Nanri Island no longer wants to emigrate. I heard that Yu Dangjia occupies a place on Taiwan Yuan Island. Now if anyone wants to come, send it to Taiwan Yuan Island. The three families give a cow and help build a house. If you want to raise pigs and sheep, you can return it to pigs and lambs. After raising them, you can sell them to sea wolves!

Every family also sends farm tools, and the sea wolf department is also responsible for providing protection! If you do a good job in opening up the wasteland, you will also send chicken seedlings, ducks and goose seedlings. There are two families in our village. I heard that life is quite comfortable!"

"Oh? Is that true? So this should be a person with great ambition!" After hearing this, Lin Yiyang nodded repeatedly, and his eyes couldn't help but light up.

"I don't understand and dare not say whether the head of Yu is ambitious, but there is nothing to say about being righteous! As long as you are single-minded with him, the head of the family will not treat you badly!

Look, how long has it been! What has become of Nanri Island? In the past, there were almost no other people here except pirates. Now you have seen it. There are dozens of boats coming and going on the dock every day. If you want to unload the goods, you have to wait in line. You have also seen the commercial warehouse here, which is more lively than the land market town!

This is not going along this street. It is a place where small traders and hawkers gather. The people on the island can come here to buy whatever they need. The brothers of Shanghai wolves on the island also often come here, but they have never heard of forced buying and selling. They are all fair transactions. They can change the price to whatever price, which is better than those in the land market town. Things are cheaper!

You look at my knife, which was bought here and cost a lot of money. If it is on land, it is estimated that you can't buy it without more than a dozen big money!"

The boatman is also a warm-hearted chatter. As soon as he opened the chatter, he couldn't stop it. As he said, he took out a knife with a sheath from his arms and handed it to Lin Yiyang. After taking it, Lin Yiyang took it out the knife. After looking at it, although he did not dare to say that the workmanship was very delicate. But it's not bad. The blade is very sharp. A few big money can't be bought on land. It can be seen that the prices here are really not high.

So the two walked as they talked. After a while, they entered a shop with the Lin family's business name.
