Refrigerators are not rare. In Sijiu City, this thing is also called an ice bucket. The royal family uses various gold-inlaid jade enamels, and even cloisonne shells. However, ordinary ministers use ordinary hardwood to make them, which does not affect their use.

Every winter, ice pickers in all major seas in Beijing have busy winters, especially the royal family. They take down the ice cubes from the Beihai, Zhongnanhai, Tongzi River, moat and even Kunming Lake, and then transport them to ice cellars in various parts of the capital to store them, and can be taken out and enjoyed in summer.

This is an important matter that continued winters in the Ming and Qing dynasties. Now there is an alley on the east side of Qianmen Street called Bingjiaochang Hutong, which is named because there is an ice cellar there.

In the era when modern refrigerators were not born, being able to use ice in summer was definitely a symbol of identity. The north collected ice in winter and stored in ice cellars, while the south was mostly made of saltpeter. For example, the ice used by Xiao Lotte in Ryukyu was made entirely by the principle of saltpeter dissolved in water to absorb heat, which would be even higher.

Fan Ru could go out with the ice bucket, and his luxury could also be seen from the side. Following Xiao Letian, the cheap son-in-law, this old man really took the ride.

After a few bowls of iced sour plum soup, the old platoon leader breathed a sigh of relief. He asked his subordinates to take the Fan Mansion butler to go through the procedures. He sat in the shade of the big willow tree with Fan Ru, and then talked about it just now.

The old platoon leader pointed at the people who were being driven out of Xishuimen and said, "These people are the second troubles in the Special Administrative Region. They are refugees..."

In ancient farming society, people relied on the weather for their own income, and their living conditions were completely concentrated on a few acres of thin fields. Their ability to resist natural disasters was very weak. Once natural disasters and man-made disasters occurred, a large number of refugees, that is, refugees in the mouths of the government.

In fact, refugees do not necessarily have to wait until those nationwide famines occur. In fact, there are also many refugees in the usual good weather.

Corrupt officials have annexed land, unfilial descendants in their families eat, drink, whore and gambling, and even become extremely poor due to serious illness... These things will cause a large number of extremely poor people who have lost their land.

This is what the unemployed vagrants say. The fixed family business is completely gone, and not everyone can live by being a tenant, so just be a vagrant.

Those who should defect to relatives and friends to find relatives and friends. Those who want to go to Guandong can also take a risk. There are even people who go to sea to become pigs and go up the mountain to become bandits. Anyway, people must live in a word.

Where is the best place in Zhili now? Even the blind man can tell that it is of course the Tanggu Special Zone. This county has become a golden country in the eyes of the people. To be honest, you can get half a string of copper coins for a day when you beg for dinner here. Isn’t this paradise?

At first, sporadic refugees gathered in Tanggu, and there were only 20 or 30 families a day. They hid outside the willow wall and waited for the limited number of recruitment indicators. Because only those inside merchants named whom they wanted, and gave employment indicators they could enter Liugu.

However, officials from the SAR suddenly discovered that this group of refugees were completely different from the people outside the surrounding Liu Wall. After all, the people outside the Liu Wall are native to their hometowns. If you expel them, they will have a home to live in and a few acres of land to survive.

To put it bluntly, these people are refugees who have lost their homes. If you don’t let them in, they will have to sleep in the wild. How cold it is in the north in winter. If a group of prime ministers really freeze to death, they will be scolded to others.

Therefore, special matters are handled. Once the refugees register, they are allowed to live in the Liu Wall. As long as they enter the Ryukyu army, they will give you some basic rations and will also allow you to build a straw shed, with at least a place to settle down.

"Master Fan! Is this a benevolent government? This is our benevolent government! But what happened later became less and less difficult to adjust..." The old platoon sighed, picked up a piece of ice from the ice box and threw it into his mouth and chewed it.

At the beginning, the Special Administrative Region only accepted more than a dozen refugees a day, but as time went by, there were more and more refugees, more than 30 households a day and more than 50 households. Now, hundreds of refugees can gather here every day.

In fact, Xiao Letian and the others also understood that this was the scrupulous officials of the Qing Dynasty. The refugees have been a factor of local unstable since ancient times, and it is not a political achievement after being done well. If they can all be pushed into the Special Administrative Region, wouldn’t they be much more stable under their rule?

Therefore, with the publicity of those who are interested, the Tanggu Special Administrative Region has become more and more attractive.

But I never expected that these refugees would cause such great trouble later, which caused a headache in the entire Special Administrative Region.

First of all, these extremely poor farmers do not understand what abide by the rules at all. They are different from the people around Tanggu, and have completed the running-in with the Special Administrative Region in a few years. The people around Tanggu know that in the Special Administrative Region, you cannot urinate or defecate anywhere, throw garbage, or even spit. You have to walk along the abortion to the right.

Moreover, the people here know that the benefits of the SAR are good, but the military management is also strict, and thieves and beggars are absolutely prohibited. If you are thirsty, there are fountains on the street to provide you with clean water. If you are hungry, you can ask any soldier to apply for relief. Naturally, someone will take you to dinner and help you.

But you are absolutely not allowed to get something for nothing. Even if you are disabled, the Special Administrative Region can find a job for you. If you don’t have legs, you can just paste a paper box? If you don’t have hands, can’t you watch the door at night?

"Master Fan! Look at this simple thing, these people can't do it... Then you come here!" The old platoon leader shook the official document in his hand and called a man in his forties over.

"Once Fan, this guy is Tian Mazi, with two children, a man and a woman. He said he was his own child. I don't think it was like a photo shoot from Huazi, but we have no evidence! The child also recognized him, so he didn't file a case... and stood up!"

Fan Ru quickly covered his nose with a handkerchief. The old beggar was so smelly! The old beggar knelt on the ground almost like a conditioned reflex. "Master, you can give me some money..."

Fan Ru almost subconsciously wanted to pay, but the old platoon leader stopped him, turned around and kicked the old beggar to the ground, "You bastard, do you want to cheat?" He kicked the beggar's waist and then sprinkled copper coins from inside, including more than a dozen silver coins with glittering Ryukyu dragon pattern.

"Ah! Is this a beggar?" Fan Ru was stunned at the time.

"Haha, see, this is a professional beggar..." The old platoon sighed, "These three people are used to having hard sex scenes, and the two children are particularly good at crying. People who cry are soft-hearted, especially those foreigners are soft-hearted, and some even give Yingyang silver coins directly..." Mobile phone users please visit http://m.piaotian.net
