Chapter 871
These Yangcheng people, after hearing the scolding of the Yangcheng police, and seeing their indifferent eyes as if they were ready to kill one or two people at any time, the people of Yangcheng immediately seemed to be quickly suppressed, and did not dare to make further trouble. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Even though there were no less than 5,000 people in this bazaar, they still didn't dare to show their resistance to the 200 policemen.
It's just that although most of these people have enough sense of crisis, there are still some guys who are not afraid of death, or for a specific purpose, and soon speak out in the crowd, which once again caused a small but resentful "public feedback":
"We are not in turmoil, we are not rioters......"
"We just wanted to have a bite to eat. ”
"Without food, we will starve!"
"It's not going to give us a way to live!"
Seeing that the people complained again, and from a few people responding in turns, to gradually adding more and more people to complain and express their opinions, it is clear that if this is not stopped immediately and allowed to continue to ferment, it is likely to erupt into civil unrest again.
Thereupon.
"Who said there was no food! Nonsense!" Just as everyone was making a commotion, all of a sudden, only one Xinghua police officer could be heard shouting angrily.
This Xinghua police officer, named Du Xiaomin, was originally a refugee from Xiguancheng.
After the Xinghua Army captured Xiguancheng, when the security of Xiguancheng was reorganized, Wei Yingcai's department was responsible for recruiting security troops. When he learned that the Xinghua Empire was so benevolent to the world that the aborigines of Xiguan City were allowed to sign up to join the Xiguan Security Force, in order to give his family a stable life, Du Xiaomin also signed up.
Later, the Xinghua army withdrew from Xiguancheng, and in order to show loyalty to the Xinghua Empire, Du Xiaomin also took his family and fled with the Xinghua army, and was finally recognized by the Xinghua army.
After that, Du Xiaomin gradually got reused with his diligent attitude and steady style. Now, Du Xiaomin is a senior inspector of the Yangcheng Bazaar Regional Police Force, leading a police force of about 200 people.
Just today, Du Xiaomin received an order from his superiors and was ordered to lead a team to suppress this civil unrest.
After Du Xiaomin got this order, he had a different understanding of the civil unrest in Yangcheng in his heart.
Because he is also from Jiangzhou, in fact, Du Xiaomin also has a certain understanding of the thoughts of the people of Jiangzhou. To say that the people of Yangcheng, Jiangzhou, deliberately launched a riot to resist the government, this conclusion is too extreme. Therefore, he knows that the root of the problem is not what it seems.
Du Xiaomin knows very well that for the people of Jiangzhou, as long as they can survive, no one in Jiangzhou will dare to do anything to rebel and cause chaos. Therefore, Du Xiaomin had a good idea of this matter; first, Du Xiaomin came to carry out the task of suppressing the turmoil this time, and focused more on trying to find out the root cause of the problem; second, in fact, he never thought at all about how bold the people of Yangcheng, Jiangzhou would be able to rebel; moreover, even if the scene of chaos was too big, it was just a group of people without weapons, and how could a well-armed Xinghua military and police like Du Xiaomin not be able to deal with it? In fact, in Du Xiaomin's eyes, ordinary people are just a group of sheep, let alone the people of Yangcheng who are already living in peace?
So, Du Xiaomin only shouted angrily and controlled the scene. He knew that the moment must be seized to cut off the opportunity for those who deliberately rebelled to continue misleading the population.
"Do you think that the Xinghua Empire deliberately ordered the closure of those grain shops? It was because they were illegal businessmen who, taking advantage of the end of the war, deliberately raised the price of grain and made the hard-earned money of the common people for the sake of their own interests and regardless of the lives and deaths of the people in the same cities and villages! It was precisely because the Xinghua Empire government had ascertained and verified this situation that it immediately took decisive action to stop their behavior of harming the interests of the common people, and this was the embodiment of the Xinghua Empire's intentions for the people. Lord Wei Yingcai, Director of the Imperial Administrative Bureau, has personally ordered that their shops are strictly forbidden to continue to open for business, and they will soon be tried for these illegal facts!" Du Xiaomin said.
"But, my lord, the Xinghua Empire government has closed our original grain shop, what can we do, where can we go to buy food?" For the people, three meals and one night are more relevant to their problems. Sure enough, as soon as this remark landed, it was immediately echoed by many people.
"It's not easy to buy grain, Yangcheng opened two new Xinghua grain and oil shops, which are the shops that the emperor of the Xinghua Empire specially funded to open when he knew the difficulties of the people in Yangcheng. The grain and soybean oil in it are the lowest prices in the city. The two grain and oil shops, one at the end of the street and the other at the intersection of the city gate in Xicheng District. Du Xiaomin said.
Du Xiaomin quickly calmed everyone down, and he also pointed out where the people of Yangcheng should go to buy grain and oil.
Listening to Du Xiaomin's conclusive and imposing words, many people present immediately calmed down, and it shouldn't be a lie to be able to have such a clear and specific arrangement. Therefore, seeing that the matter has been resolved, the emotions of the people of Yangcheng have gradually calmed down.
Even if there are still people who suspect that this is the Xinghua Empire's military and police fooling the people, it is not difficult, Du Xiaomin's words, whether they are true or lies, are easy to verify.
Therefore, either to prove this statement, or to find a place to buy grain immediately, many people immediately went to confirm it.
After a while, news came from the people. At the end of the street of the bazaar, there is indeed a Xinghua grain and oil shop.
More than 5,000 people are not a small number.
When everyone walked to the end of the street, they found Xinghua grain and oil shop.
The price of grain and oil sold by Xinghua grain and oil shop is not high, and the price is almost the same as in the past. At least, the price was much lower than that of the grain merchants in Yangcheng, and the people's grievances were suddenly dissipated a lot. Ordinary people are sometimes ignorant, and sometimes they are reasonable. Who let them live, who made them not live, they go back and think.
"In order to prevent illegal reselling of grain, illegal accumulation of grain. The Administration Bureau stipulates that Yangcheng residents must carry temporary ID cards to buy grain and oil, and each resident is limited to one bag of 10 catties of rice, one bag of five catties of cornmeal, and one bottle of soybean oil within three days. In addition, there are some pickled vegetables, salt-baked peanuts, and smoked meats that are sold together. Without a temporary ID card, you cannot buy grain and oil. ”
The clerk of Xinghua Grain and Oil Store shouted at the door, instructing everyone to watch the announcement at the entrance of the store, and explaining the rules of the store.
Some time ago, the Yangcheng Administrative Bureau forced Yangcheng residents to apply for personal household registration and issue temporary identity documents. Today, most Yangcheng residents have temporary identity documents. Therefore, many people heard about the conditions of the grain and oil store, immediately turned around, ran home, and went to get their documents. Others, with their documents, began to queue up to buy grain and oil.
After a while, someone bought grain and oil from Yangcheng.
"Wow! This is all good rice! This soybean oil is so clear, it looks like good oil! There are also salt-baked peanuts, mustard is not expensive, and it can be eaten with bibimbap. ”
"This corn flour is very white and can be used to make white flour cakes. ”
"It's not expensive at all, Xinghua people live a good life, it's great. ”
"No wonder the people of Yunzhou support Emperor Xinghua so much. ”
The people of Yangcheng enjoyed the kindness of Emperor Xinghua, so naturally they would not fail to say a few words about the benefits of the Xinghua Empire. It's just that no one has dared to question the Great Xia Emperor yet. After all, the emperor of Great Xia was the Son of Heaven and could not be offended easily.
With the grain and cooking oil from Xinghua Grain and Oil Store, the situation in Yangcheng is more stable. However, the grain merchants in Yangcheng were taken aback. If Xinghua had been providing relatively cheap grain, their grain would not have been sold, not a single grain of rice would have been sold. As a businessman, there is no buying and selling, which means going out of business.
"Xinghua people are hateful!"
"I'm going to quit the alliance and open my door to business, or the food in my hand will be smashed. ”
"Do you think you can quit now? If you quit, will the Xinghua people accept you?"
"Really?"
"There have been several grain merchants, who have been to the administrative bureau, and they have refused to issue us business licenses. Once we open our doors to do business, the Xinghua people will deal with us for violating the law. ”
When many grain merchants heard this, they collapsed.
The Xinghua people are very desperate at doing things, and they don't give the grain merchants a chance to relieve. Wei Yingcai's administrative bureau wants the grain merchants in Yangcheng to completely swallow the bitter fruit of their own brewing.
"We don't need to respect those who don't follow the orders of the Executive Bureau. Everything that is old will eventually be broken, and we will establish a new order......," Wei Yingcai said to all the administrative officials of Yangcheng at a Yangcheng government work meeting.
Yangcheng is the Yangcheng of the Xinghua Empire, this is Yi Xingchen's requirement for Wei Yingcai to govern Yangcheng. Governing a city not only makes the people rich and live a good life, but also makes the people feel a sense of belonging to the country.
Therefore, Wei Yingcai was obsessed with breaking the concept formed by Yangcheng during the reign of the Xia Kingdom.
Next, Wei Yingcai began to promote culture.
First of all, the Chinese language of the Xinghua Empire, Chinese Chinese, was persistently promoted by Wei Yingcai. Wei Yingcai set up a cultural and educational group within the Yangcheng Administrative Bureau to promote the culture of the Xinghua Empire.
"We want to build at least 10 primary schools and one middle school in Yangcheng. Children aged 4 and above are required to enter primary school, which provides free meals a day and a corresponding scholarship. If a child over the age of four refuses to attend school, the parent or guardian shall be held accountable and sentenced to six months to two years of hard labour or imprisonment. Children who are learning are protected by the Xinghua Empire. Wei Yingcai said to the officials of the Culture and Education Group, "If you are in trouble, you can seek the assistance of the police department, and the police department must not take the request of the Culture and Education Team lightly." ”
"Yes, the Police Department will do its best to help the Culture and Education Unit to promote Chinese language education in Yangcheng. The chief of the police station stood up and expressed his attitude to Wei Yingcai.
Wei Yingcai nodded, waved his hand to sit down with the police chief, and he continued.
"The establishment of primary and secondary schools in Yangcheng is one aspect that requires a large number of teachers. At the moment, we don't have many good teachers. There are not enough teachers in Yunzhou, and I'm afraid we don't have many teachers. It doesn't matter, though. As long as it is a soldier of the Xinghua Army, who does not know some words? I will propose to General Lyon that some wounded soldiers be sent to Yangcheng for cramming teaching, so as to quickly popularize the Chinese language. In addition, the Culture and Education Section is also responsible for printing all kinds of textbooks as much as possible, as well as related books, such as novels, literary works, etc. ”
"At the same time, the Executive Directorate has to issue an order to rectify the culture. We will ban colleges, private schools, and bookstores in Yangcheng City. It is strictly forbidden for these places to publicly release books that praise the Xia Kingdom. By all means, it is forbidden to spread Xia Wen. ”
"My lord, are we going to confiscate the private Xia Wen books?"
The official of the culture and education group stood up and asked Wei Yingcai.
Wei Yingcai smiled: "That's a good question! We won't touch personal belongings." I respect all personal belongings, but I don't run private people to take out personal belongings and spread them without permission. In short, they can collect it, but they can't take it out for public sale, can't display it publicly, and teach and other activities. ”
"After all, if we push too hard, the scholars may make some stumbling blocks for us, which will not help us control Yang City. However, you must remember that the Xinghua Empire respects the scholars, but we respect the scholars of the Xinghua Empire, not the scholars of the Great Xia Kingdom. Readers who do not know Chinese are not considered scholars. ”
"Yes, I see.
In the conference room, the officials said that they would follow Wei Yingcai's instructions and cooperate with the Executive Bureau's next move.
Just when Wei Yingcai was going step by step and strengthening the rule of the Xinghua Empire in Yangcheng.
The dean of the Xinghua City Alchemy Research Institute hurriedly felt the palace and reported good news to Yi Xingchen.
"Your Majesty, ten pairs of green dragon battle armor, my alchemy research institute has been completed. ”
"Great!"
Yi Xingchen jumped up happily, now Xinghua Group is in Blue Mercury, and it can have a hard-to-hard collision with the American army.
"Yan En, the person to wear the Blue Dragon Battle Armor needs to be strictly selected. The palace guards and the royal guards must select at least fifteen qualified candidates. Yi Xingchen turned his head and said to Yan En.
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the minister will definitely choose the best Blue Dragon Warrior!" Yan En said.
"Chekov, how do you want me to reward you?" Yi Xingchen asked the director of the Alchemy Research Institute.
Chekov was a third-level alchemist and an important figure who followed Yi Xingchen in the early days.
Chekov smiled and said: "I don't matter, please Your Majesty reward the alchemists and alchemy apprentices who tackle key problems day and night, they are all very hard-working, and it is the main factor in the early completion of the Blue Dragon Battle Armor." ”
"I understand!" Yi Xingchen thought for a moment and said, "The members of the Alchemy Research Institute who participated in the development of the Blue Dragon Battle Armor will all receive a letter of thanks written by me and a badge, as well as the corresponding bonuses. Eli, how much is the reward, your cabinet will discuss it, and the Ministry of Finance will also contribute some money. In addition, the Imperial Royal Treasury will also contribute a sum of money to give a great reward to the great alchemists with the highest contributions. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward, and we will definitely try to make more contributions to the Empire!" Chekov said.
