Chapter 251 Things Solved + Li Shimin Looks at Yuezhou (Two in One)

The more Wang Tingchu said, the more strange everyone's faces became, and everyone looked at Li Zhen suspiciously-knowing people and faces but not knowing their hearts, I really didn't expect it, His Royal Highness the Prince, who is humble and peaceful on the surface, and is wise and martial, will actually be the underworld giant in Lingnan, the dark boss on the dock in Yuezhou, this is really unbelievable, if this is not His Majesty the Emperor's personal experience, I am afraid that even if he says it, others will not believe it, right?

However, what everyone doesn't know is that Li Zhen also has a feeling of beeping a husky in his heart at this time, and he also feels that he is very wronged, especially wronged, he doesn't know anything, and he has become the backer of the underworld? When did this happen? How did I not know? is a dignified prince of the Tang Dynasty, and he actually mixed up with the underworld? Isn't that too much of a loss?

Soon, after Wang Tingchu finished speaking, Li Shimin raised his head and looked at Li Zhen: "Zhen'er, you also understand what happened, now you should give me an explanation." ”

"Goo~"

Looking at Li Shimin's flat eyes, Li Zhen seemed to see endless anger in it, swallowed a mouthful of foam with difficulty, and Li Zhen said softly: "...... Father, if the sons say that all this has nothing to do with the sons, do you believe it? ”

"What do you say?" Li Shimin asked rhetorically.

"But this really has nothing to do with Erchen." Li Zhen called Tianqu: "Hu Yinqing used to be Erchen's guard, but after he became disabled, Erchen rewarded him with a large sum of silver, which has nothing to do with him, who knew that he would actually report Erchen's name to do evil?" What's more, the son has enough reason to prove that the matter was not done by the son, and he also asked his father to give the son a chance. ”

"Say, I'm listening."

"Yes, thank you, Father." Li Zhen summed up the language and asked, "Father, please think about it, the sons control a gang, and the sons must have a purpose, right?"

But what is the purpose of the father and the son to support Hu Yinqing?

Take control of the port of Viet Chau? The entire Yuezhou Port is built by the sons, and the Yuezhou City Ships Division is established by the sons, up to the city envoys, down to the ordinary scribes, all of them are the people of the sons, and the poor ones are also sent by the sons, and they all have such and such a relationship with the sons, and the sons want to control the Yuezhou Port, I have a way, why use this unbright means?

Is that making money? That's even more impossible, not to mention how much profit the various businesses under Erchen's name will bring to Erchen every year. Let's just say that the amount of goods handled by this Yuezhou port every day is an astronomical amount, and the sons' money can't be spent, so why not squeeze the hard labor of the port for a little money? How can you look at such a small amount of money and mix with gangsters?

Erchen is the crown prince of the dynasty, and there are many ways to make money, and Erchen still disdains such behavior of oppressing the people.

Also, even if Erchen wants to control Yuezhou Port, even if he wants to squeeze the hard labor in the port, why does Erchen only control one wharf in this area? There are more than a dozen civilian wharves in the entire Yuezhou Port, even if Erchen wants money, he should control all the gangsters in the entire port, but Erchen only controls a small Green Snake Gang, which is too petty, right?

You must know that if Erchen wants to, let alone in a Green Snake Gang, even if it is the entire Yuezhou Port gang, or even the entire Lingnan underworld, as long as Erchen hooks his fingers, they will pounce on Erchen like pugs to serve Erchen, how can Erchen only control one Green Snake Gang......

What the son said is reasonable, and he also asked his father to understand it. ”

"That's it...... It's also reasonable. Li Shimin pondered for a long time, and he recognized Li Zhen's explanation.

"Thank you, Father." With a sigh of relief in her heart, Li Zhen knew that this matter was in the past.

"Forget it, don't mention it again." Seeing that there were more and more onlookers, Li Shimin didn't want to entangle this matter in broad daylight: "But the underworld forces on the dock, Zhen'er, you have to take care of it, the underworld forces are too deceitful, if I hadn't been here today, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it, and the officials below were actually so dark." The small officials are the link between the court and the people, if they are blackened, even if the people are greatly wronged, they are afraid that there will be nowhere to redress their grievances. ”

Li Zhen assured loudly: "Father, rest assured, this matter is handed over to Erchen, and Erchen guarantees that after five days, there will never be an underworld force in the entire Yuezhou port, and after a month, there will be no underworld organizations under Yuezhou. ”

"Well, then it's up to you to perform."

"Your Majesty, Your Highness, the minister requests that the affairs of Yuezhou Port be handed over to the minister to deal with." Feng Zhibao, who was punched a few times by Li Zhen next to him and had been falling to the ground, suddenly got up and said: "This time it was the minister's negligence that led to the occurrence of such an ugly thing, and I also ask Your Majesty and His Royal Highness to give the minister a chance to reform himself, and the minister will do his best to level the underworld forces in the port as much as possible and sweep away the moths inside the city." ”

Li Zhen said coldly: "This palace doesn't need you to do your best, let alone your best, what this palace wants is certain, you want to take over this task, you can, but you must guarantee to complete this task, otherwise it will ......"

Feng Zhibao gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Yes, the minister promises that the task will be completed, if it can't be done, the minister will come to see the prince." ”

"Very well, then I'll leave this matter to you, I hope you can remember what you said. Also, the palace only gives you three days, if you don't see results within three days, don't blame the palace for being polite. ”

"Yes, after three days, the minister will definitely sweep the port of Yuezhou, and he will never live up to His Highness's trust, otherwise His Highness can cut off the minister's head." Three days is actually very tight, but Feng Zhibao also knows that this is his only chance to remedy, if he can't do it, Li Zhen will definitely not cut himself, but his future will be ruined.

"So be it, in addition, the labor organization is chaotic, and it does need to be managed and coordinated, otherwise it is easy to cause fights or firefights for the sake of life or other reasons, which will bring great chaos to the docks, which has to be prevented." Speaking of this, Li Zhen suddenly remembered the trade union system in later generations, so he suggested: "In this way, you can set up a labor association when you go back, the labor association is responsible for the communication between the labor and the government, all the workers are managed by this association, and the court is selected from the laborers, and the people with high moral standing are selected from the laborers, and the association only has the right to mediate, but not the right to dispose of it, and it is not possible to accept the hard-earned money of the laborers and squeeze the laborers who are not easy, you should pay special attention to this...... As for the specific rules and regulations of the association, I will list them for you when I go back, and you can go to me to get them when the time comes. ”

"Yes, the minister went back and began to plan for the association." At this time, Feng Zhibao only had to nod, anyway, he couldn't afford to offend the two in front of him, and he himself was also at fault, the best way now is what these two say, do what he does, and there must be no mistakes.

"Well, the model of this labor association is very good, much better than the gangsters, and we may be able to follow suit in other industries in the future." Li Shimin's face finally softened a little, and he was very satisfied with Li Zhen's disposal method, and at the same time agreed with the model of the labor association, feeling that this model can be used in other industries and is a good system.

"What my father said is very true, but different industries are different, and the specific association system needs to be handled by themselves." Li Zhen affirmed that although trade unions also have the possibility of blackening, they still do a good job of working for the welfare of workers - otherwise, the existence of trade unions would not be allowed in capitalist countries that are extremely hostile to the G system.

"Yes, the minister will get a charter when he goes back." Feng Zhibao became a nodding worm, no matter what Li Shimin and Li Zhen said at this time, he had only one reaction - nodding and saying yes.

Li Shimin added: "Also, there are many unrealistic places in the "Port Management Regulations" that you formulated, in order to maintain harmony on the wharf, each stall can only sell one thing, which is very bad, because some things are liked by some people, but some are not popular, which will lead to the street vendors being full to death, starving to death, so that the vendors have to secretly sell other things in private, although the tax and silver are not less, but it is easy to be caught." Just like today, if it weren't for me, all the stalls on this dock would have fallen into the hands of the Green Snake Gang.

You officials, one by one, look at the people as people, and don't go below to understand the people's livelihood, as long as the taxes and silver that should be paid are not less, you don't care about anything, completely ignoring their lives and deaths, and if this goes on like this, the future of Datang is worrying. ”

"The minister is afraid of ......" is too serious, it is directly related to the stability of the Tang Dynasty, not everyone can follow this, everyone knelt down, grabbed the ground with their heads, and did not dare to answer Li Shimin. The onlookers saw that the old men knelt down, yes, let's kneel down too, so they knelt down again, and the scene was quite spectacular.

Li Shimin shook his head slowly and said: "Forget it, I don't mean that, I just want to say, you officials, you have to come down and take a look more on weekdays, if you don't experience it yourself, how can you know what the people need?" ”

"The ministers obey."

No matter what everyone thinks in their hearts, now the emperor is obviously in a bad mood, and if you have a conflict with him at this time, you are looking for death, and you will deal with the emperor first, as for what to do in the future, that will be a matter for the future.

"That's what happens here, I'm tired, go back." Of course, Li Shimin is not sleepy, he still has something to do when he goes back - he is an emperor, although he came to Lingnan, but this does not mean that he can be lazy, and the official business that should be handled still has to be handled, but the twists and turns from all over the country are no longer sent to Chang'an, but to Yuezhou.

"Get driven~" Wang Tingchu's sharp voice sounded, and the chariot moved slowly.

"This Yuezhou is really good, although it is still a little messy, but it is full of life, and I have reason to believe that in five years at most, a metropolis no less than Chang'an will be erected here. No wonder Zhen'er promised me before coming to Lingnan that he could build a big city that was not inferior to Chang'an in seven years, and I originally thought he was bragging, but who knew it was true. ”

After entering Yuezhou City, Li Shimin's mood finally improved a little, especially looking at the scenery on the side of the road, his mood was much more relaxed.

At this time, the city of Yuezhou was being expanded, according to Li Zhen's design, the entire city of Yuezhou should be expanded to at least three times the size of the old city, and the original old city became the inner city of Yuezhou after renovation and construction, and correspondingly, the new city became the outer city.

If the entire new city is completed, then the area of this Yuezhou city will be more than 70 square kilometers, which is quite an amazing area - you must know that Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty is only 84 square kilometers, and 70 square kilometers of Yuezhou is not small, much larger than Luoyang (Luoyang is only more than 50 square kilometers).

Moreover, Yuezhou is different from Chang'an City, Chang'an City is the political center, and the main people living in it are dignitaries, and there is no need to be developed commercially, and the area is not too large. Yuezhou City is different, this is a purely commercial city, and it is also a port city, and it should cover a larger area.

Even 70 square kilometers is not Li Zhen's psychological limit, you must know that those international big cities in later generations, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, which one is less than 2,000 square kilometers? Even apart from Shenzhen, which of the four major cities is less than 5,000 square kilometers at full level?

Thousands of square kilometers, Li Zhen doesn't want to do it, to govern such a city, you must use the most advanced scientific methods, which is not possible at least in the Tang Dynasty, but a hundred square kilometers or even two square kilometers, this should be possible, right? Even if there is a problem with management, it is still no problem to divide Yuezhou into several districts and manage them separately.

To get back to the point, Yuezhou City at this time is equivalent to a construction site, although it is not messy, but it is not much better, at least the dust in the sky is inevitable, especially in the old city, because the old buildings are to be renovated, and some even have to be demolished and rebuilt, all kinds of noise can be said to be from morning to night, quite disturbing the people. It is said that the Yuezhou government has accepted several complaints and cases, but it is a pity that Li Zhen has not been there when he went to sea before, and the officials below can only appease the main thing, and reason with everyone with the facts, and finally appease the people's grievances.

Li Shimin watched it with relish, because he had already seen how prosperous Yuezhou City would be in the future just from such chaos, and perhaps after Yuezhou was really developed, the name of Chang'an, the first city in the Tang Dynasty, was estimated to be unable to be kept.
