Chapter 26: Taking Over Jinan (19)
In fact, the focus of rectifying the customs industry is actually the health certificate, first of all, the women engaged in the customs industry in Jinan to conduct a physical examination, only the physical examination is qualified, there is no major disease of the woman, can be issued a health certificate to practice. Of course, after obtaining the health certificate, you must also have regular physical examinations, and only after passing the examination can you continue to work, otherwise you will have your two certificates revoked and you will not be allowed to engage in customs and business.
The physical examination is divided into two situations, one is a general gynecological disease caused by living habits and hygiene habits, and it is not contagious, and it is usually curable, so it can be treated and passed the physical examination, and it can still be re-certified to work;
In addition, in addition to the normal tax payment, the custom shop also has to pay an additional special industry business tax, which is used for the physical examination and treatment of employees and the compensation and resettlement expenses for those who change jobs, because it is impossible for the government to pay for the customs industry.
In fact, the proprietors of custom shops do not have much objection to the additional payment of special industry business tax, because in the past, running a brothel required a large amount of money to open up various relationships, and the upper and lower levels of the yamen, as well as local gangs, etc., the amount of money required was actually much greater than that of the special industry business tax, so if all other expenses were abolished, then the actual burden would be much reduced.
In addition, the business of the customs industry, but also really afraid of the women who are engaged in the industry, because once the guest is infected, no one dares to come to the door again, there will be a business crash, so the Jinan government issued two certificates to the practitioners, to a certain extent, but also played a role in guaranteeing.
Of course, most of the operators of custom shops are skeptical of what the Jinan government said that in addition to the regular tax, other expenses such as dotting, dredging, and protection will be canceled, and overseas Chinese can really do it, or just say beautiful things, but now who dares to question the resolution of the Jinan government, and the operators of custom shops only hope to reopen as soon as possible, so naturally there is no objection.
After nearly a month of rectification, nearly 70 percent of the customs operators who have obtained the two certificates need to receive treatment, and more than 10 percent of the customs operators suffer from serious occupational diseases and are not suitable for continuing to work. As a result, most of the shops can be reopened.
On the other hand, the Jinan Land Reform Commission was also formally established, and land reform activities were carried out in the villages around Jinan. After all, most of the squires are also big landlords, and at this time they can only pinch their noses and cooperate with the work of the Land Reform Committee, so the land reform work in Jinan has been carried out very smoothly and has not encountered any major obstacles. Of course, in this way, there are many fewer landlords who have been tried, criticized, and confiscated, and the Jinan government has also paid a lot of expenses for the land reform work. Fortunately, the Jinan government now has sufficient financial resources and can fully afford to pay.
As all the work in Jinan was on the right track, the government personnel were also much more relaxed, and it was the end of 1901.
In 1902 New Year's Day came, the Jinan government also held a warm celebration, after all, the situation in Jinan was finally successfully opened, and there was no big chaos, although the Jinan government has a strong military support behind it, but after all, it is the first narrow, and the opponents are the squires born and raised in Jinan, whether it is local connections or influence, are far stronger than the traverser, in fact, the squires have planned the city's businessmen strike, An Luotang also plans to mobilize all the disciples to make trouble in the city, fortunately they are all stopped in advance by the traverser, otherwise it will cause great difficulties to the Jinan government, so such results are indeed hard-wonγ At the same time, it also accumulated considerable experience for the East China government to take over other parts of Shandong.
Of course, China in this era is still the implementation of the lunar calendar, and there is no consciousness of New Year's Day, the New Year is calculated by the Spring Festival, and the Spring Festival in 1902 is on February 8, there is still more than a month away, so when the Jinan government celebrates the New Year, it also makes the locals feel very puzzled, it seems that overseas Chinese have indeed stayed overseas for a long time, and the customs and habits are very different from China.
A few days after New Year's Day, Wang Sheng received a notice from the Executive Yuan of the East China Government sent by his secretary Zhou Hui in his office, asking Wang Sheng to rush to Qingdao to attend the annual government work meeting before the 10th.
It turned out that after New Year's Day, the East China government also officially moved from Tianjin to Qingdao, and all the work would be on the right track, and for the past year, there was a large amount of summing up work, such as the government work report, the annual financial report, the military report, and the summary reports of various ministries and commissions, and so on, and at the same time, the work plan for 1902, the financial budget, and so on had to be determined.
Although according to the convention, these works should be completed by the end of 1901, since the East China government was busy moving at the end of the year, the Executive Yuan and the Senate unanimously decided to put these works in Qingdao at the beginning of 1902.
Wang Sheng is now a local official, and it is said that he should not attend the annual work conference of the East China Government, but first, the organs of the East China Government are not yet perfect, and there are actually only three real places: Jinan, Tianjin, and Weihai, and Weihai is still under military control; second, in 1901, Wang Sheng spent most of his time working in Qingdao, and third, this meeting should not only arrange the work plan for 1902, but also draw up the "five-year plan" for the development plan of the East China Government for the next five years There will be a large number of construction projects to be determined, and Jinan, as one of the three major cities of the current East China government, is certainly one of the key areas of the five-year plan, and will undertake a large number of construction projects, which does require the top person in charge of Jinan to attend and participate in the discussion. Therefore, the Executive Yuan finally unanimously decided to notify Wang Sheng to come to Qingdao for a meeting. Of course, not only Wang Sheng, but also Li Songchen, the mayor of Tianjin, will also come to Qingdao to attend the meeting.
After reading the notice, Wang Sheng thought about it for a while, and then looked at his little secretary with affection, and couldn't help but feel tender and sweet in his heart, it turned out that on the night of the New Year's Day celebration, Wang Sheng finally pulled Zhou Hui to his bed with a little bit of wine, and turned this little secretary into a little woman. And Zhou Hui's obedience, with a little bit of green body, also made Wang Sheng get great enjoyment in both physical and mental aspects, so after a night, Wang Sheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart, there is still a good woman, he used to be too hypocritical, he should have pushed down this little secretary earlier, and he could also enjoy the life of sexual happiness as soon as possible.
And from that day on, in addition to working during the day, Zhou Hui couldn't even rest at night, and had to cooperate with Wang Sheng's bed activities. However, this is also the result that Zhou Hui wants, so he regards Wang Sheng as his lifelong dependence, and takes care of Wang Sheng's daily life more dedicatedly.
In fact, Zhou Hui is now only 18 or 9 years old, it is the age of youth, cardamom, after the development and moisturization of Wang Sheng in the past few days, although the youth has not completely disappeared, but it has a few more points of temperament, the whole person is also radiant, radiant, it turned out that there were only five points of beauty, and now there are seven or eight points.
Thinking of this, Wang Sheng couldn't help but have another impulse in his heart, reached out and grabbed Zhou Hui's hand, and pulled her into his arms, and Zhou Hui just looked at the door of the office and confirmed that the door was closed, so he sat on Wang Sheng's lap very obediently, and the whole person fell on Wang Sheng's body. After all, Zhou Hui has only been broken for a short time, and it is the time to eat the marrow and know the taste, and I also hope to have more intimate contact with Wang Sheng.
Wang Sheng put one hand on Zhou Hui's waist and said, "Xiaohui, prepare tonight, go to Qingdao with me the day after tomorrow, and take advantage of this opportunity to complete the formalities for registering marriage." β
Zhou Hui was stunned for a moment and said, "Registration?" She has been following the traveler for 4 months, and she knows a lot about the traveler, and knows that "registration" is a necessary procedure for overseas Chinese to get married, which is similar to the need for three relatives and six certificates for private marriage. However, of course, the "registered" are all wives, which is equivalent to the Ming media being married.
Although Zhou Hui has given her body to Wang Sheng, she has never thought of being Wang Sheng's wife, she positions herself in the position of a personal maid, and after Wang Sheng has a wife in the future, she will be satisfied with giving herself the title of a side room. After all, his identity is too far from Wang Sheng, he is just a subordinate, and he has no color, and Wang Sheng's young age is already the prefect's master, in Zhou Hui's eyes, this is a great official. Therefore, Zhou Hui didn't have that idea at all.
Seeing Zhou Hui's stunned state, Wang Sheng couldn't help but be a little strange, and said, "What's the matter, aren't you happy?"
Zhou Hui hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, how can the chief want to be with the slave... Register with me?"
Wang Sheng said with a smile: "If you don't register with whom, since we have a relationship, of course I want to give you a name, just take the opportunity to go back to Qingdao this time, otherwise I don't know when I will have to wait until I have the opportunity to return to Qingdao again." β
Zhou Hui said: "But my background is low, and I have no material and no virtue, how can I be worthy of the chief, in the future, the chief will definitely marry a woman who is the right person and has both materials and appearances, at that time, as long as the chief can give me the title of a concubine, it is enough, I really dare not be the chief's wife." β
Wang Sheng understood Zhou Hui's psychology at this time, and thought in his heart that this kind of feudal thinking was really harmful, so he held her hand and said with a smile: "What is the right door, I said that you are worthy of it, even if you are worthy of it in the future, even if you take a concubine in the future, you are also a wife, don't think about it too much, hurry up and pack up your things in the past two days, I don't have to manage these things, I will leave them to you." β
Zhou Hui realized that Wang Sheng was not joking with himself, but was really serious, and he couldn't help but be happy and grateful in his heart, but he didn't expect that he really flew on the branch and became a phoenix, so he hurriedly said: "Okay, I'll clean up after work, don't worry, chief." β
And looking at Zhou Huiyi's shy and happy little woman's appearance, Wang Sheng's heart couldn't help but feel hot, and the hand around his waist couldn't help but tighten, and he leaned into her ear and said, "Let's change the method tonight, okay." β
The heat flow from his ears had already made Zhou Hui's body soften by half, and Wang Sheng's words made Zhou Hui's ears burn, and he lowered his head and said vaguely: "Everything is up to the chief." β
