Chapter 348: Hero Outer City
This round of speeches outside Suzhou did not cause much of a sensation, and certainly did not cause much resistance. In general, there are many people who feel relieved, and there are also some people who feel that many things are determined by basic human nature, and they don't even know how many years of rules they have, or things that the government can't control at all. By this time, as a result of many events over the past few years, people had learned that even the so-called nascent "revolutionary regime" was not omnipotent, and could evade objective laws.
Therefore, although the speech was sent to many people, it did not have too much impact on the entire Suzhou City, of course, after learning some lessons and lessons in between, many city fox society rats or gray and black businesses knew that maybe the limelight came up again, and it also stopped for many days.
However, not long after such a new law along the river, an explosive article spread throughout Susong, Beijing, Hangzhou and other cities and towns in the southeast. It stipulates three types of violations that focus on rewarding whistleblowing: First, the crime of private gain: for example, "illegal marriage" refers to the marriage between a wealthy person who has more than 10 employees or more disposable wealth and a public official or a member of the Academia Sinica within the three ethnic groups. Even bribery, including sexual bribery, is included. However, in order to prevent counter-effects, only the punishment for reporting within the scope of bribery and bribery is stipulated. The second is the crime of infringement and counterfeiting: including the production and sale of counterfeits, health issues, trademark infringement, intellectual property infringement, academic fraud, etc. The third is the crime of collusion with bandits and illegal armed forces. This includes not employing thugs in accordance with regulations, building excessive walls, and organizing underworlds.
According to Xiao Xuan's recollection of modern history and various considerations, in the various chaos that is likely to pose harm to society in the early stage of capitalism, or a certain stubborn disease from China's feudal society to the transition stage of capitalism, collusion between officials and businessmen, private violence, administrative and judicial marriage, and counterfeiting and infringement are the three biggest obstacles to the development of industry, science and even society. In fact, Xiao Xuan once wanted to add one more: that is, the protection of labor rights and interests and the restriction of working hours. However, considering that too many interests involved in the latter will bring about policy instability, and whether it is for the progress of the productivity system, Xiao Xuan at this time cannot be completely sure, so he will give up for the time being.
As for the reward fund for reporting with land rights as a supplement, it was finally put on hold for the time being under Xiao Xuan's own consideration, not to mention what problems it would involve. People are afraid to report their relatives, friends and even interest groups, and their biggest concern is that they will be retaliated against and lose their sense of security, so the establishment of a "hero city" outside Nanjing is more important than the land to be given to the land. It seems that in Xiao Xuan's impression of some modern land reform movements, even for the lower classes, not all people are very interested in land, and the attraction of floating wealth is still not small.
Moreover, the long-term meal ticket of the Eight Banners knighthood can also delay many one-time costs to a later date. Feeding 100,000 to 200,000 Russian-style nobles or the Eight Banners was something that the Ming Dynasty could afford at this time, but there were undoubtedly many problems in taking out 100,000 to 200,000 hectares of high-quality land in the Jiangdong area.
The final criteria are: those who receive the whistleblower reward fund plan can receive the title of imperial grain ranging from 60 taels of silver or stone rice to 1,000 taels of stone rice per year according to the size of the contribution, and pass it on forever without diminishing; You can also move to live at the foot of the Son of Heaven near the city of Nanjing, and build a militia guard with like-minded people to be responsible for security. From medicine to children's schooling, there are also certain conveniences and benefits. On top of these benefits, 70 percent of the illegal gains will be used for rewards, and 30 percent will go to the government. At the same time, in order to allow the subject of the report to get sufficient personal safety protection in the process of reporting. Xiao Xuan will also regularly dispatch inspectors to take turns to screen and interrogate hundreds of thousands of officials and business personnel every year for special screening and questioning. It also makes many methods of interception, obstruction, or control unfeasible.
And almost at the same time, the construction plan of the "Hero Outer City" outside Nanjing City also began to be carried out one after another.
At the beginning, Xiao Xuan didn't feel too good results. Although in less than a month, in Suzhou, Hangzhou, Songjiang and other places, hundreds of cases were cracked one after another, hundreds of people involved in the case were arrested, and the amount involved was 340,000 taels. There are only about 200 whistleblowers involved. It's a far cry from how effective it is.
However, when these 200 people were strictly escorted by the army to the outer city of Nanjing, and were arranged to live in Xincheng under heavy protection, the news that Lang Zhong and the cooks in Xincheng were obviously better than other places began to spread throughout Jiangdong, the effect was different at once.
In the second month after Suzhou's speech, inspectors and members of the intelligence group directly under the central authorities relied on more than 1,100 whistleblowers to crack more than 1,700 cases of smuggling, counterfeiting, and infringement, involving a sum of 7 to 8 million taels.
More than 1,100 people were also gathered in the outer city of Nanjing under strict escort and began to settle down quickly, along with thousands of family members who were ready to be transferred in advance. In this way, from within the system to outside the system, the vast majority of people feel a storm coming.
Instead of first feeling the benefits of a strict legal system, many people find that many of the unspoken rules that they were used to suddenly become dangerous. Even the children, even the parents, suddenly became unreliable. Only then did the middle and upper strata in the entire Koto area begin to feel that a huge crisis was coming.
However, unlike the previous imperial society, there were no palace maids and eunuchs or even internal and external courts, and even the cabinet began to be monopolized by some people around Xiao Xuan who did not belong to the lower classes, and the entire scholar class and even the middle and lower bureaucrats suddenly found that not only had they lost the means to control the situation in the palace or the central government, but even the channels of advice suddenly became much narrower.
Of course, it seems that the more reliable persuasion channel leading to the central manor has not been completely closed, from Zhou Yufeng, who has restored his identity in the palace, to Yuan Guifei, and even Zhang Yan, the quasi-foreign relatives group has become bare for a while. Even the distant relatives of the women who were once recruited into the palace have become fragrant sweets that can be listened to by the heavens for a while.
At this time, many people have already understood that if this "heroic outtown turmoil" cannot be stopped as soon as possible, many people will face greater risks and even threats to their interests. Even the rebellion plots that had just subsided began to regain their vitality at this time.
