The mechanic was not tall, but his muscles were very eye-catching, his naked upper body and face were dark, he was carrying a large bag of food, and he was obviously more than able to endure when he walked. Li Ze noticed him because he had a lot of scars on his body. But this is obviously not under his Li Ze.

This person is not yet old enough to retire, and judging by his body strength, he is not retired because of injury.

"This man?" Li Ze pointed at the man.

Wang Mingyi glanced at it and said, "This should be the first batch of Lulong soldiers captured after we fought against Zhang Zhongwu." It should be the end of the hard labor period and the freedom again. ”

"Is that so?" Li Ze suddenly realized.

"When these people have completed their hard labor, they can choose to stay or return to their hometowns, according to your orders at that time." Wang Mingyi continued: "Those who chose to stay accounted for eighty or ninety percent. After all, whether they dig the Wuwei Canal in Wuyi, repair Dezhou City, or build roads, they have all seen the prosperity of our place, so they naturally don't want to go back, but want to stay here and fight. ”

"Fix these things, those who do hard labor have died a lot, right?" Li Ze asked.

Wang Mingyi coughed dryly, "I don't know much about this, but death is inevitable, and it is said that one or two thousand people have lost their lives for various reasons!" ”

Wang Mingyi said one or two thousand, but he was afraid that if it was implemented, this number would be doubled.

"How are these people who stay?"

"It's not good, actually." Wang Mingyi knew that he couldn't hide it from Li Ze, so he said directly: "They have no long skills, and they used to be Lulong soldiers, in the local area, few people dare to hire them, they don't have the capital to do business, let alone money to buy land and real estate, even if they want to be a tenant farmer, it is very difficult." So more often than not, they can only do odd jobs in the city. ”

"And where do they usually live?"

"A place in the west of the outer city, where most of these people gathered." Wang Mingyi said.

The two were talking, but there were some disputes below, four or five men dressed in uniform navy blue clothes, surrounded the man carrying the bag, the two sides seemed to quarrel a few words, and actually pushed and shoved, and immediately, there were some shirtless men in the distance, holding sticks in their hands, and quickly gathered here.

The situation was sudden, but it seemed that Wang Mingyi was not surprised, he just glanced at Li Ze secretly, but saw that Li Ze was also staring at the conflict below with interest.

After a while, the shirtless men gathered more and more, and the men in navy blue coats saw that the situation was not good, and after dropping a few cruel words, they turned around and slipped away.

"Which of the people in navy blue coats are local practitioners?" Li Ze asked.

"Yes." Hearing that Li Ze broke the whereabouts of those people in one mouthful, Wang Mingyi also poured beans into a bamboo tube: "Originally, the loading and unloading of goods and other businesses at the Moon Bay Wharf were monopolized by the local government, but since these people appeared, the whole market has been chaotic. These people are willing to do it as long as they make a little profit, and the local force is naturally unwilling, this back and forth, the business on the dock is taken away by these people, and Moon Bay is mainly the business on the dock. The two sides have clashed several times. ”

"No dead people?"

"Not really. The two sides were still very restrained, and fought several times, at most with sticks. The locals can't win. Wang Mingyi spread his hands and said.

"The locals basically have a family and a business, but those people have nothing and have no scruples. The horizontal ones are afraid of the flute, and the flute ones are afraid of not dying! Li Ze said with a smile.

"I'll have someone solve this problem when I get around!" Wang Mingyi said with some amazement.

"How do you fix it?" Li Ze looked at the other party with a smile: "If you use the name of the official to suppress them, you can manage them for a while, and you can manage them for a lifetime?" Now the contradictions are not intense, such a headache to cure the head, foot pain to cure the foot, the contradiction will only accumulate deeper and deeper, and eventually become terminally ill, then it will become a big trouble. Mingyi, such people, there will be more and more in the future. ”

Wang Mingyi looked at Li Ze with some weakness: "Li Xiang, then how can you say that this matter can be completely cured?" ”

Li Ze took a long breath and said, "A month ago, you also heard about what happened in Texas, right?" ”

Wang Mingyi nodded.

"The case has been closed over there, and this time, a total of twelve people are going to lose their heads." Li Ze said coldly.

Wang Mingyi was taken aback, and his face changed a little.

Li Ze also sighed with some emotion: "It's only been more than two years, and a bunch of moths have grown." Accepting bribes, eating kickbacks, and cutting corners, our supervision is strict enough, but we can't stand these people's tricks! That's a military factory, they dare to do anything! Mingyi, do you have the same problem in the supply and marketing cooperatives you are responsible for? ”

Wang Mingyi didn't dare to answer, he didn't dare to pack a ticket for such a thing, and if he spoke, he would be responsible.

"Li Xiang, how did the Texas side solve the next thing?"

"The military factory has its peculiarities, in addition to stricter supervision, many raw materials, Guo Fengxiao is ready to use public bidding. Like steel and iron, there is no way to do this, but some other auxiliary materials are ready to be tendered to the private sector, and anyone can supply them, depending on whose goods are good and cheap. Li Zedao.

"In addition to this, Guo Fengxiao is also ready to split some of the original large factories, and then strictly use performance appraisal, for example, a large factory to build armor is split into two factories, whose cost is lower, whose products are the most popular with the army, then whoever eats meat and drinks soup, and the other, hehe, just wait to eat!"

Wang Mingyi was blessed to his heart, and he reacted at once: "Li Xiang, do you want me to adopt this method in the supply and marketing cooperative?" ”

"The supply and marketing cooperatives now control almost our entire business, and there are many bulk products related to the national economy and people's livelihood. Li Zedao: "However, you are in charge of this stall, you might as well take the matter of the Texas military industry as an example, first clean up the interior, and then take the opportunity to launch this series of reform policies." With those twelve bloody human heads, the resistance will be much smaller. Mingyi, Xia He is very busy now, you can't point to her in everything, you are the left waiter, when it is time to decide, you have to decide. ”

"Yes, Li Xiang!" Wang Mingyi was a little ashamed.

"It's like the management on this dock." Li Zedao: "I still know some more or less, but I am too lazy to pay attention to it, there are a lot of kittens in it, the local practice, the initial monopoly operation, other people's goods arrived, if you want to give the goods, you have to give a hard money first, and then the money, some merchants have to bribe the head of the line first, otherwise when you enter the port, no one will give you the goods." And the price is so high, if not, how can they be easily squeezed out? ”

"It's time to put things in order."

"Let's just talk about these former prisoners of war, I guess it won't be long before they will taste it and grow into another such force and start to run rampant on the docks."

"So, we have to let them compete, of course, in an orderly way. In this way, both parties have something to do, and the merchants benefit from it. Wang Mingyi said.

"That's it!" Li Zedao: "Corruption is inevitable everywhere, and what we can do is actually to reduce the space for these people to operate as much as possible." Create an environment where they can't be greedy, warn them with bloody heads not to be greedy, and of course, give them enough salary and benefits to make them not want to be greedy. ”

"You can't be greedy, you don't dare to be greedy, you don't want to be greedy. Li Xiang's words are always thought-provoking! Wang Mingyi said with a smile.

"Also, these prisoners of war also have to think of ways to solve practical problems for them." Li Ze nodded: "Since I met you today, you will take the lead and work with the Ministry of Industry and Wuyi County to solve some problems." ”

"I wonder what problem Li Xiang wants to solve them?"

"These people, they used to be soldiers, they were already rebellious, they were willing to stay in Wuyi, they were rushing to live a good life, but now, are they having a good life?" Li Ze glanced at Wang Mingyi, "These people gather together, live in those thatched huts, like ice cellars in winter, like stoves in summer, and have to be scratched by mosquitoes, snakes and ants, I think about what kind of environment the place they live in." If this goes on for a long time, they see that the gap between their lives and the locals is getting wider and wider, so what will happen? ”

"Rebellion!" Wang Mingyi blurted out.

"It's impossible to rebel, this is Wuyi!" Li Ze said with a smile: "But it is a sure thing that they will become unstable elements in society. ”

"Then Li Xiang, what are we going to do?"

"Separate them first!" Li Zedao: "Find some places in Wuyi, build some houses, the houses don't need to be big, they don't need to be too comfortable, these houses are not sold, they are only rented, and they are only rented to specific groups of people, for example, how long have you lived in Wuyi, and the poor people whose income is below how much, such people, not only these people, but also locals, I am afraid there are also people." ”

"Spread out and prevent them from gathering to make trouble. Let them have a house to live in and something to do, to give them hope. Li Ze said: "As long as they can do this, they will naturally settle down, which is also an example for the same kind of people in the future." With us, as long as you work hard, you can live a good life. ”

"It's really good governance." Wang Mingyi said: "Li Xiang, what is the name of this project?" Next, let's publicize it first, so that everyone knows that Li Xiang is thinking of these people. ”

"Let's call it low-rent housing! Once the income exceeds a certain threshold, it is no longer eligible to rent the house. This kind of house is only for the poor. Li Zedao.
