Section 231, the white lotus floats on the water
At the end of the trial, as the crowd receded, a few people were gathering in a shack by the river, whispering about the case just heard.
"I didn't expect that!" An old man with white hair and hair who looked like he had the temperament of a fairy wind and bones reached out and stroked a few strands of his long hair and shook his head slightly: "Look at him, this Lord Jiang is still a little capable." ”
A young man beside the old man muttered disapprerovingly: "The Dharma Protector also looks down on him too much, these eagle dogs of the imperial court are not a means to invite people to buy people's hearts, I have seen them for a while, and they can be redeemed after a while." ”
The old man didn't answer, he still shook his head slightly, and he didn't know what he was thinking, and a man on the other side who looked muscular and dressed in a short dress muttered for a moment: "The Dharma protector is worried that the dog officer and lion are opening their mouths, and the asking price is too high?" ”
"Alas......" After a long sigh, the old man slowly spoke: "I'm afraid that no matter how much I spend, I won't be able to redeem people." ”
When these people heard this, they first looked at each other, obviously no one understood how this Dharma Protector could think like this, is there still an official in this world who is not greedy for money?
They didn't have to wait too long before an errand boy broke in, first saluted the old man, and then whispered, "Protector, those eagles and dogs didn't let go!" ”
As soon as he said this, the crowd frowned, and the young man hurriedly asked, "Have you made any money?" Are they too little? ”
The messenger shook his head: "Yes, but I didn't want it!" The master said that they despised the prince's roaring court and sentenced him to one month of labor camp without bail! ”
These people are not too unfamiliar with these new terms, after all, the new law is being advertised everywhere, but the young man who asked the question still did not give up and continued to ask: "You didn't say that this money is not bail, just a little tea money for errands?" ”
The errand runner hurriedly explained: "Of course the villain said it, but he didn't dare to accept it, and said that if it was entangled, he would accept the small one in the name of bribing public officials!" ”
The people in the room couldn't help but gasp, and the old man known as the Dharma Protector could only smile bitterly: "Sure enough, I guessed it, but it's a pity that the sixth child will suffer for a month." Now who of you dares to underestimate a feudal official who can make his subordinates dare not be greedy for money! ”
At this moment, everyone looked at each other, even if it was unbelievable, they had to believe it, and this magical thing just happened. At the time of the public trial just now, a few idlers who were noisy and suspicious of the boring trial were their accomplices, and the reason why they wanted to roar in court was because they felt that this kind of thing was not to blame the public, and at most they would be bombarded in the court or hit the board, so they had nothing to fear, just to test Jiang Tian's management ability.
Now that their experiment has been successful, it fully proves that Jiang Tian's new deal is not the same as they thought, and the old man can only shake his head again: "Spread the word, whether it is our people on the construction site, or the sixth child, they will stop during this time, don't let people seize the handle of this outlet." ”
Everyone in the room said yes, and then retreated one after another, only the deep strong man did not leave, and after everyone was gone, he whispered to the old man: "What has the old man noticed?" ”
Seeing that there were no outsiders in the room, the old man relaxed his body and leaned back on the chair: "This Jiang Tian seems to be young and frivolous, and he is acting boldly against officialdom, and he doesn't know how to do it step by step. Originally, this would only make enemies for himself, but now it seems that he has no fear, and he wants to uproot the rules of officialdom for thousands of years! ”
"So, wouldn't we be able to get a bargain for doing it here?"
This time, the old man could only nod in agreement: "Not only can't we get a bargain, but we have been here for a short time, how many people on the street can be used by me?" Whether it is a peddler or pawn, a three-sect and a nine-rate, all of them have red eyes, they just want to have a few more hands to get more oil and water in Tianjin Wei, even if it is a village woman, they are staring at weaving and dyeing, pulping and washing and other jobs to make some living money, but who can listen to our words? If you want to say that the only one who doesn't like the reform is the original saint disciples. ”
"In that case...... the strong man pondered for a moment, "Then why doesn't the master plan more for himself?" ”
The old man stood up, paced to the door, looked at the clear blue sky and muttered to himself, "It's time to make a plan......
In the clear blue sky, the sea breeze blows gently, and the dense ships put away their sails and lower their anchors, swaying slightly on the sea, they are arranged together in an orderly manner according to the order of arrival, waiting for the port personnel to check and release before entering the port.
Because of the geographical convenience, the importance of Tianjin Port has become more and more prominent, and it has become the first seaport in the north, and the problem brought about by explosive growth is the lag of infrastructure construction. Therefore, in addition to highways, the focus of Tianjin's construction is the highest priority of the port.
The port is still expanding, and the berths that can be docked at the same time are limited, so many ships can only anchor in the open sea and wait for berths to be vacated.
As for foreign vessels, no matter how large or small, it is impossible to enter inland waterways without special permission, and in order to ensure the validity of this ban, not only customs inspectors are stationed on the waterways, but also a coastal defense force is stationed on the waterways.
However, as people often say, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are also docks, there are naturally people who live by docks. Whether it is the porters, laborers, or the various forces hidden in the shadows, they are more or less inextricably linked to the dock.
On today's Zhigu wharf, there is an inconspicuous small fishing boat slowly approaching up, this wharf is further north is the famous Sancha River estuary, most of the merchant ships and passenger ships will go there to dock, and this primitive, history is longer than Tianjin Wei, only some fishing boats will dock.
So the boat didn't attract the attention of others at all, and after it stopped, a few young girls dressed as village women came out of the cabin, and a man who had been waiting for a long time on the dock took the initiative to go over to greet him: "Sister, you're here, the third uncle is in a hurry!" ”
One of the girls in this group answered: "Second brother, don't blame, the official government more than ten miles away has blocked the waterway with private businessmen, so it has been delayed on the water for a while. ”
The man nodded, walked over and took the salute from a few girls: "It's good that safety is here, hurry back and don't let my uncle be in a hurry." ”
No matter how you look at it, this looks like a plot of ordinary people joining relatives and friends, and now Tianjin Wei is engaged in large-scale construction and does not stick to the original household registration system, so this kind of foreign relatives who have taken refuge in the surrounding villages almost abound, and no one will doubt them. The only thing that can attract attention is that there are more women in this line.
But this is not a big problem, although other places may be very concerned about things like men and women's defense, and women will not leave home without showing their heads. But there are too many jobs that can be handed over to women in Tianjin, that is, many local big girls and little daughters-in-law are more or less dependent on their crafts to earn some change. Therefore, the atmosphere in this neighborhood no longer cares about such a thing as women coming out to work, and the so-called economic base can determine the superstructure.
But they didn't know that this seemingly normal rhetoric had attracted the attention of some people, the boatmen, the mooring workers, and the vendors squatting on the banks of the river carrying their burdens to sell groceries, several of whom glanced at them a few times, and then looked away as if they were not interested at all.
There was a lazy man named Hanako lying on the side of the road, stretching out his hand to rub the mud on his chest, staring at a few girls unscrupulously, and there were not a few copper plates in the broken bowl in front of him, so it could be seen that today's business was relatively bleak. After these people walked away, he shouted to the merchant not far away: "These are enough water spirits just now!" ”
The merchant snorted disdainfully: "Why didn't you dare to say that when you were here just now?" ”
"You're stupid to me!" The beggar's hand was withdrawn from his chest, and he just grabbed a lice and twisted it vigorously: "Didn't you see that the other brother came to pick it up?" Master, I can still see that it is a practitioner, our beggar gang is not good now, if you want to put it before, these girls from the countryside may not have the creation to serve grandpa! ”
"You just blow it......" The merchant didn't bother to pay attention to him, and shouted to himself and stopped looking at him.
This little episode did not make any waves at the dock, when the group walked into a simple adobe wall courtyard, the man, who repeatedly confirmed that no one was following, hurriedly bowed to the group of women on one knee: "The villain greets the holy aunt, I was offended just now, and I hope the holy aunt will punish him." ”
"Get up" Among the women, a girl who was younger and looked very ordinary said: "The matter is in a hurry, and this is also to avoid the eyes and ears of the court, where is Liu Hufa now?" ”
After thanking Kai En, the man stood up: "The Holy Aunt doesn't know, the local eagle dogs are no better than others, all of them are better than dog-nosed Turin, and the elders we originally planted in the beggar gang have been dug up by them, so they don't dare to come to visit them with great fanfare during the day, and tonight the Dharma Protector will definitely come to greet him." ”
The girl nodded: "In that case, I'm also a little tired, so you can retreat first." ”
After the man had gone, a young man sneakily approached the courtyard, and after making sure that no one was watching, he knocked lightly on the door, and after answering the code, he flashed into the house. These seemingly unaware small movements, in fact, on a large locust tree more than 100 meters away, a person is clearly seeing with a telescope.
The man on the tree muttered to his companion, who was also lying on the branch and observing other directions: "This treasure made by the big man is good, you can see it clearly from such a distance, but unfortunately you can only see but not hear what they say." ”
The other pouted: "You are still not satisfied, if you could only approach at the risk of being discovered before, are you sure of this time?" ”
"It's confirmed, it's one of the people who plotted in the small black room on the day of the public trial, what do you say is the origin of those girls, and these big men still salute them?"
"It doesn't matter what he came from, anyway, they messed with people who shouldn't be messed with!"
Once the target was determined, one of them slowly slid down the tree, leaving only one on top to continue watching. And this big tree grows right in a large courtyard, which looks like a big family in the village at first glance, but now it is dilapidated.
There was a middle-aged man in the courtyard who looked like a businessman with eight figures, his short and fat figure kept fanning a big fan because the weather was getting hot, and when he saw the people coming down from the tree, he didn't show any surprised expression, but picked up the teapot on the low table next to him and took a sip to his mouth.
The man in the tree was dressed in a dyed leotard, his face was covered with black and green paint, and he had a circle of branches with green leaves stuck in his head. I saw this man walk quickly to the Humpty Dumpty man, snapped his heels together, stood straight, and put the five fingers of his right hand together when he was about to raise them in front of his eyebrows, but he couldn't complete the next action. Because he saw the smiling face of the short and fat rich businessman, a cold gaze shot out of him stared at him tightly, so that he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat in this hot weather.
Fortunately, this person reacted very quickly, glanced at his raised right arm out of the corner of his eye, and then quickly changed his posture and waved it out of thin air next to the fat man, waving and chanting: "These nasty mosquitoes, stay away from my master!" ”
The fat man's expression remained unchanged, but the substantial gaze softened: "Count you brilliantly smart, or I'll tie you to a tree and feed the mosquitoes tonight." ”
The man grinned and smiled flatteringly: "It's not that you teach well, the little one just learned a little bit of fur." ”
"Don't do this!" The fat man looked angry: "Tell me, what did you see." ”
After listening to the report, the fat man fell into a deep thought: "It can't be her, right?" ”
The fat man, who felt that things were not simple, hurriedly ordered: "You have kept an eye on people for me, especially who they have met with and what dealings they have, they must be checked clearly, but don't startle the snake, I have to ask what to do next." ”
This big flower face also noticed that this matter was extraordinary, but he asked with a little excitement in his eyes: "Master, let's do a big job?" ”
Humpty Dumpty was almost half angry when he asked him like this, so he could only hold a fan against the other party's head and count: "Don't think about those who don't have it, it's serious to tell you that the world is peaceful." ”
Jiang Tian didn't know how the city fox society rats hidden in the shadows inside and outside Tianjin Wei were agitated because of the public trial, and he was more concerned about whether the people in his jurisdiction had received a certain degree of legal education through this case, so he asked Zhao Zhi to pay attention to this aspect of the content.
What made him relieved was that it was not only the ordinary people who were shocked by this incident, but also the ghosts, snakes, and gods from all walks of life who came to invest in it also restrained a lot, after all, the prince listened to the verdict of the case, that is, an iron case that could not be reversed, unless the current Emperor Zhang still has an heir to the throne of the right age, no one can risk offending the future emperor to speak for the capitalists.
Jiang Tian and Zhang Huan are also listening to the report, but it is Zhao Zhi's report, and now Zhao Zhi is no longer like the previous two years, although Jiang Tian does not force him to walk like the wind and sit like a clock. But after all, I have been in contact with these rich sons and close scholars for a long time, especially the prince often serves as his cultural teacher, even the small ruffians who used to beg for a living in Sijiu City have also learned the rules of walking, sitting and lying in large households.
Although Zhao Zhi, who has already become a little old and steady, sits at the bottom, his waist is straight, and he bows slightly to Jiang Tian, who is sitting in the main seat, and says: "Although no one has made trouble among the current long-term and short-term workers, the owners of those employers are obviously a lot more polite to the below, and the weather has been hot recently, and mung bean soup, watermelon and other things to relieve the heat have also been supplied according to the construction site, but the young apprentices are still the same as before......
After listening to Jiang Tian's jaw head, he nodded: "It's good to have improvements, I was afraid that they wouldn't be able to eat oil and salt." ”
Liu Baokai, who was also concerned about this matter, shook his head slightly: "With all due respect, this is not all a knock on the mountain after the verdict, but more because there are more and more people looking for partners on the construction site, and these traders are afraid that the skilled workers will run away so they can only improve their welfare, otherwise how can the apprentices be excluded." ”
Tian Xuhai because he didn't shoot the sycophants right last time, he has always wanted to find an opportunity to show himself again, and when he saw Liu Baokai put forward his own opinions, he hurriedly said: "What Yijian said is good, but Mr. also said that this is caused by the normal contradiction between supply and demand in the market, and it is precisely because this judgment is fair and open that those ordinary people know that it is guaranteed to work on the construction site of the road, and the attraction is naturally stronger than the workshop with empty and inflated wages but no other guarantees, which forces the capital to improve the treatment of workers." ”
His analysis is reasonable, and at the same time caters to Jiang Tian's market regulation theory, which can be regarded as a seamless sycophant, after he finished speaking, he glanced at the prince with the corner of his eye, and sure enough, he saw the prince nodding in agreement, so he put down his hanging heart.
Jiang Tian was also nodding, but he shook his head again: "Market regulation can only be achieved under perfect conditions, and we happen to be in a relatively perfect environment for capital development. Once an economic recession occurs, the endogenous contradictions of capital will inevitably erupt. ”
As soon as he mentioned the endogenous contradictions of capitalism, Tian Xuhai wanted to complain, it was Jiang Tian who clearly advocated the development of @ capital @ this @ lord @ righteousness, and it was Jiang Tian who sentenced @ capital @ @ lord @ righteousness to "a two-hundred-year reprieve", you said that since you have to die sooner or later, why do you have to develop?
I only heard Jiang Tian continue: "Therefore, for example, education, medical care, pension and other matters related to the people's livelihood must not be allowed to develop freely, and some key industries must not give up the government!" When necessary, even if you lose money, you must stick to this bottom line. ”
Hearing this, Song Yi interjected with emotion: "That's why the private school you opened was classified by Your Majesty into the Guozijian." ”
