Zhu Rouniang was very resistant, she struggled hard.

The mother-in-law was very difficult to get along with, and her husband was four or five years younger than her, and in that house she was the lowest slave...... It was at home that she had tasted too much hardship, so she was able to withstand the pressure of the workshop.

It's just that although the home is terrible, it can't compare to the pressure brought by the foreman.

He is not a good man, and he must not be allowed to succeed.

Rou Niang's hand grabbed everywhere, and finally let her grab a deadbolt.

Bang!

Rou Niang smashed it down, and in an instant, blood splattered on the foreman's head, breaking a large piece. Seeing the blood, Rou Niang was so frightened that she sat on the ground, the worker was crazy, he participated in the attack on the imperial city, and when he saw that things were not good, he ran away first.

"The official promised above is gone, and if you want to ask for a mother-in-law, you dare to run!"

The foreman pounced, grabbed Rou Niang's throat with his hand, and shouted frantically, "Strangle, Lao Tzu strangled you!" ”

Rou Niang rolled her eyes when she was pinched, death was already very close.

Maybe death is also a relief, and you don't have to be tortured anymore......

Just then, the door was slammed open.

Someone rushed in, and the foreman was so frightened that he hurriedly turned back, found out the identity of the other party, and immediately jumped up, trying to jump out of the window and escape. But as soon as he took a step, a steel knife pierced the back of his heart, the foreman struggled and convulsed, and fell to the ground, his eyes widened, and he didn't figure out how the officers and soldiers could come so quickly?

……

"Li Hongji promotes commercial development, rapid urban expansion, population gathering, and many deeper drawbacks, this guy didn't notice ......"

Ye Hua said casually while flipping through the "Pulse Meridian".

Urbanization is by no means simple, just get people to the city and arrange a job to make ends meet.

Within a few years, hundreds of thousands of people poured into Jinling, these people came from all over the world, out of the original familiar environment, into a completely unfamiliar city, without the care of the clan villagers, looking around, all strangers...... In addition to hurrying to earn money and find a place to live.

They also need safe shelter, solace, and communication...... This point is very urgent even in Ye Hua's time, in areas where outsiders are concentrated, the problem of public security will be more serious, and people who are strangers to each other will have a lot of conflicts and contradictions, to name a few.

In the history of the West, the performance has been even more violent, and the violent turmoil and friction of urbanization have given birth to the rule of law, the pursuit of individual rights, and elections, the selection of appropriate people, the voice of oneself, and the protection of one's own interests...... All of this is based on urbanization and industrialization, and if you put the cart before the horse, you will get the exact opposite result, and if you look at those failed countries, this is the reason.

Then again, Li Hongji hastily opened the road to industrial and commercial development, and the bureaucratic system of the Southern Tang Dynasty could not adapt to the swelling population at all, nor could it manage the numerous workshops and workshops.

But people need to be safe...... What to do at this time?

Having to turn to other forces for help, Manichaeism took advantage of the situation and developed and expanded...... According to Ye Hua's observations, the situation in the Southern Tang Dynasty was somewhat similar to that of the late Qing Dynasty, because the imperial court was unable to manage the localities, and in the cities, all kinds of gangs, chaotic Hui Dang, in the countryside, were local tyrants and inferior gentry, and even the new army that had been painstakingly trained was also eroded by the Hui Party and became the main force for overthrowing the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Don't look at the distance for a long time, this principle is the same.

"I didn't expect that the biggest enemy in Jiangnan is not Nantang, but the various forces lurking below the water, and it seems that I have miscalculated sometimes."

Ye Hua rubbed her swollen temples, Fu San sat quietly aside, her lower abdomen was already bulging very high, as if she had stuffed a ball in her stomach.

Fu San pondered: "Since there is such a big risk in developing industry and expanding the city, do you still want to do it?" ”

"What if I said no?"

Fu San paused, "Brother, if you said you didn't want it before, I would have closed all the workshops immediately." ”

"And now?" Ye Hua asked with a smile.

Fu San lowered her head slightly, looking at her abdomen, she pressed her hand on her belly, as if she could feel the movements of the little life inside, and her face was full of joy.

"Brother, when the traitors stormed the official office, what do you think I thought?"

Ye Hua smiled: "Your brother said that if something happens to me, you won't live alone...... But I don't think so, our goddess of wealth is very strong, you will find a way to run away, run away, and then take good care of the child in the belly, let him be born smoothly, pull the adult, all in all, our Ye family can't break the incense! ”

Fu San smiled, "It's true, it's much better than my eldest brother, but I'll go to you when the child is three years old at most!" Because we are three years old in this life, and we are three years old in the next...... If it's too late, I won't be able to catch up with you! ”

Fu San's eyes flickered, pure as stars, Ye Hua had a feeling of being very full and full, what a grinding little goblin!

He really wants to correct Fu San on the spot immediately, but Xiao Nizi still has a child in her belly!

Ye Hua gritted his teeth, "What you mean is nothing more than that now that you have a child, you have to take care of the child as a mother, and you want to leave something for him!" ”

Fu San glanced at Ye Hua, "Why are you talking so white, no wonder it's a big pig's trotter who doesn't understand the amorous feelings!" Xiao Nizi was so angry that she turned her head and didn't bother to look at Ye Hua.

"Okay, the workshop doesn't need to be closed, what needs to be done is to repair and reform! Remove all those miscellaneous pieces, and return everyone to a good day! ”

After Ye Hua finished speaking, he patted his ass and went straight to the political hall.

Good news has been reported from all walks of life.

Zhao Kuangyin raided hundreds of silk workshops in one go.

These workshops are all staffed by thugs, foremen, supervisors, bodyguards, nurses, and so on, the largest one workshop has 500 people! There were thirty or fifty of them.

Some of them supervised the weavers' work to prevent escape, but it was also true that many were Manichaeans.

"At least half!"

Zhao Kuangyin truthfully reported to Ye Hua, even if he was as thick as him, he also felt frightened, just in the capital, under the nose of the Son of Heaven, there was such a power hidden.

If you don't realize it in advance and let them take the opportunity to make trouble, the consequences will be unimaginable!

"Master Hou, when you said that when you attacked the government office, why didn't they follow suit? Otherwise......" Zhao Kuangyin didn't dare to continue.

Ye Hua knew in his heart that the other party had misjudged the situation, and they also had too much appetite, so they wanted to take Runzhou first, cut off the north-south passage, and then take Jinling.

These people are the ambushes they hid!

It's a pity!

You're not my opponent at this point!

"Immediately send an order, the whole city will be thoroughly investigated, and all the armed forces, even the family guards, the car dealership bodyguards, don't let go, all of them will be arrested, except for the officials and soldiers of the imperial court, as well as the officials of the government, I don't want to see any strength!"

"Understood!"

Zhao Da decisively ordered, this time even the princes in the city had nothing to say, on the contrary, they were more active than Zhao Kuangyin, it was related to their own heads, who dared to be careless.

Several ministers are separated, each of them is responsible for a district, the city gate is closed, the officers and soldiers of the government, blocking the intersection, and conducting door-to-door investigations, especially large households, workshops, commercial house ticket numbers, all bodyguards, thugs, not one is spared.

After a day of investigation, a total of more than 50,000 people were arrested, and they were divided into five areas, which were guarded by officers and soldiers.

In the second half of the night, several ministers dragged their tired bodies back to the political hall, and they were all dumbfounded, especially the original ministers of the Southern Tang Dynasty, who were even more dumbfounded.

Xu Xuan raised his slap and slapped his two mouths hard, swelling his old face.

It's time to fight!

It's time to fight to the death!

Xu Xuan really couldn't believe that Jinling City, which was so good, actually hid so many weapons.

What were they doing before?

Do you want to die by eating together?

Why didn't you notice it at all!

Looking at this situation, even if there is no Great Zhou calling, after a few years, the Manichaean people will be enough to cause trouble and destroy the Southern Tang Dynasty!

"Among the 50,000 people, at least about 30,000, there are sun and moon tattoos, we don't know anything, it's really faceless!" Xu Xuan shook his head again and again, sighing.

Li Yu, who was sitting at the back, said in a sullen voice: "There is nothing unusual about this, who of you is willing to go to the workshop to see, and who is willing to talk to the weavers!" In your eyes, these people are all lowly and inferior people, Shinong and industrialist, in your eyes, the first thing you see is the scholars, and at most you care about the peasants. You think, since ancient times, there have only been rebellious peasants, not rebellious merchants! But when did you think that a workshop with thousands of looms, working day and night, would require 2,000 weavers, and in order to take care of 2,000 weavers, hundreds of foremen and hundreds of thugs would be needed. Besides, buying raw silk from the countryside and selling silk to the outside world, are ordinary people capable? Do you think it's all fair trade? ”

Li Yu said unceremoniously: "Wrong, big mistake, businessmen will frantically squeeze the people for the sake of profit, they will use thugs, hire scoundrels, and force the people to sell raw silk at a low price." These thugs would also huddle together to keep warm and fight against the imperial court, so they were all attached to the name of Manichaeism...... Judging from the current situation, there are at least more than 20,000 Manichaean thugs in the workshop, and there are more than 10,000 people in the trading dock, fortunately, Hou Ye noticed it in time, otherwise this group of people is enough to overthrow Jinling City! ”

In the face of Li Yu's accusations, Chen Qiao, Xu Xuan, and even Han Xizai lowered their heads and were speechless...... It seems that the defeat of the Southern Tang Dynasty was not only defeated by Li Hongji, but also by these officials who are not grounded and practical!

Xu Xuan's neck swelled thicker than his face, "Master Hou, I, I am willing to go to the workshop to have a look, work with the weavers, ask them what they think, understand their conditions, read thousands of books, and travel thousands of miles." The world in the book is too different from the real world! ”

Ye Hua bowed slightly, "It's very rare for Master Xu to have this heart." The world we are facing is indeed changing rapidly, and the previous set may not work. But at the moment, we still have to deal with the traitors, Jinling is safe, and I don't know how it is in Runzhou! ”
