Chapter 90: Trade Unions and Peasant Associations (1)
The "Dirty Dirty ......" train entered the station, and the big guy went home.
When he left, the Fei Group was as stable as a rock, entrenched in the two Huai centered on Shouzhou. He just went to a meeting, and when he came back, he found that the person who greeted him outside the train station was a sea of people waving red flags.
It's just that the words on those flags look so unfamiliar!
"Down with the local tyrants and inferior gentry and protect the rights and interests of the peasants!"
"Sweatshop, give me back my health!"
"Workers must have unions, workers must have safety!"
The square in front of the huge Shouzhou Railway Station was crowded with people - in Fei Jianren's memory, it should have been full of small stalls and vendors, but today it seems to be like a large gathering of tens of thousands of people, and the people and officials sent by the Yamen are trying their best to maintain order, but there are workers shouting slogans in all directionsβand they are definitely not very friendly slogans.
Fei Jianren stopped walking towards his private carriage, and he said to his secretary: "Go and see, what's going on?" β
As soon as the words fell, Zhu Ming came to him. This Shandong big man also had a bad face at the moment: "Master Fei, you can be regarded as back." Shouzhou is about to turn the sky upside down. β
Fei Jianren pestle his cane: "What's going on?" β
Zhu Ming was about to answer, but a big girl finally broke through the blockade of the officials and ran in front of Fei Jianren: "Master Fei! Master Fei! I'm a special correspondent for Jiangnan Junmu Bao, can I ask you a few questions? β
Fei Jianren frowned, he was already annoyed by those political reporters in Bianliang, and he didn't want to be entangled by some tabloid reporters - those political reporters in Bianjing with a well-developed sense of smell had already turned Master Fei's private life into a mess, and even dug out the weaning at a certain age, so he also found a half-immortal to verify whether he had a little devil living in his heart.
But the big girl in front of her is too handsome, those officials don't know if they have never seen a woman in their lives, and they didn't stop this big girl at all, and let her go easily.
Fortunately, at this time, the dog's legs played a role, and a secretary wittily rushed up to block the girl: "If there is anything to interview, we will arrange time for friends." β
Such words could not stop the eldest girl, and she couldn't wait to jump up and ask: "I heard that your seventh aunt was involved in a murder case, and now she has committed suicide in fear of crime." Is the incident true? β
Fei Jianren's face suddenly became particularly ugly, and Zhu Ming said cautiously: "When you were away, something happened at home......
"Get in the car!" Fei Jianren smashed the ground with his cane, and walked to the carriage with a blushing face.
Zhu Ming glanced at the big girl and found a subordinate: "Keep an eye on that girl, see where she lives and who she is in contact with." β
After the order was finished, Zhu Ming also followed into the carriage.
Fei Jianren sat in his seat, and Zhu Ming sat down cautiously facing the direction of the carriage with his back to him. Fei Jianren was still holding his beloved cane, his eyes slightly closed, and waited for the carriage to move before asking, "What's going on?" β
Zhu Ming chose the important one and said the matter of Jinshuiguan: "I didn't expect that Aunt Seven would be too good at ...... It's hard to tell. β
"It's not easy to explain this in the first place." Fei Jianren is not a fool: "Someone wants to turn over old accounts - I don't care about these things at home, someone will take care of them." It's the outside that you have to care about. Where is Half City now? β
"According to the account, he may have gone to Jiangnan."
"Get him back." Fei Jianren said indifferently: "After raising him for so many years, even a pig should come in handy." Zhu Ming bowed his head and agreed. After thinking for a while, he cautiously reported: "These people outside today ...... They were all picked up by a few young people. β
"What little young?"
"Some young people from Bianjing."
Fei Jianren finally opened his eyes: "From Bianjing?" β
"Not all of them are from Bianjing, there are two Jiangdong people, and there are two Liaoguo people, but they are all studying in Bianjing." Zhu Ming said: "When they arrived in Shouzhou, they either provoked the peasants or instigated the workers. β
"Do you know what they're here for?"
"They set up a workers' and peasants' federation, saying that they wanted to help the workers and peasants fight lawsuits for free, and they also opened night schools, which really attracted many poor ghosts to participate."
"Today, this is for me to pay someone to get off the horse."
Zhu Ming said: "Indeed, they don't know what ecstasy they have poured into the government recently, and they actually said that they moved the Yu Governor Mansion and asked our Fei Group to take money out to supply the farmers." β
Fei Jianren's face became even more ugly: "Take the money? Why! β
Zhu Ming said: "Those poor people dislike the fact that the money was too small when they were requisitioned for land, and they spent it in two or three years, and now they have put the idea on our group." β
Fei Jianren snorted coldly: "The poor ghost is poor and sick, and he is delusional." β
Back in the Fei family's compound, before Fei Jianren could call those concubines out to ask them one by one, the porter came in and said that he had received an invitation from the Yu Governor's Mansion.
It's better to come sooner rather than later. Fei Jianren didn't care about the fatigue of the car, and called his confidant confidential secretary - a tall beauty with blonde hair and blue eyes and turbulent waves - the so-called henchman had to fall on the person next to him in the end to be down-to-earth. He said to the daughter of the duke, who was originally from the Kingdom of France, "Sophia, do you think there is something strange in this? β
"Master, do you still need to ask me?" Sophia has lived in Nanyang since she was a child, and her wet nurse, nanny, tutor, and playmate are all Chinese. β
Fei Jianren pondered for a moment: "It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided." On the loess of the Great Song Dynasty, the business owner still has to have a good relationship with the yamen after all. Let's go and see what the Uprefect means. β
Fei Jianren changed into a new clothes and brought another secretary of his own, this is a young man with gold wire clip-nose glasses, Si Swenwen, and he is also a high-achieving student who came back from Nanyang study, he writes a good hand, and the article can't be done, Fei Jianren takes him out very useful.
When he arrived at the prefect's yamen, Yuxing had already opened the middle door and waited for a long time. This made Fei Jianren feel a little at ease: it seems that this old dog is still interested.
The housekeeper of the Yu family took Fei Jianren and his entourage to the study. Yuxing was also dressed in civilian clothes, holding a scroll, obviously waiting for a long time.
"Yo, Boss Fei is here."
"It's been a long time since the Uprefect Mansion."
"Hey, Boss Fei worked hard, it was Yu who was abrupt, Boss Fei just arrived today. I'm sorry to invite you here. β
Fei Jianren didn't bother with him, and sat straight down: "It's for the rebellion of those workers." β
"Shh......h Be cautious, be cautious. This is not a rebellion. You and I can't afford the word rebellion. Yuxing looked frightened: "Don't you know, the workers are making a lot of trouble now." β
"Hmph, how come I don't know." Fei Jianren said: "When the meeting was held in Bianjing, someone spoke for these poor ghosts, and wanted to give them better welfare benefits, a higher level of labor insurance, and legislation to protect them!" β
"Huh?" Yuxing was taken aback, thinking that it was fortunate that he didn't do anything to the committee, otherwise he would have become a meal for the bigwigs.
Fei Jianrendao; "It's all up and down, although I'm not talented, but I'm also fighting with those idiots in the Legislative Council, fighting wits and courage. Now they are coming to my hometown to make trouble, and I think they want to give me a disadvantage. β
Fine sweat oozed from Yuxing's forehead, and he knew how big a storm Bianjing's vat of water could stir up. He is the most innocent one in this storm.
He whispered, "Look at the petition that the so-called committee, which looks like it should be in league with those who have different political views from Bianjing and yours, you ......see."
"I see?" Fei Jianren looked aggressive: "What do I see? They want my money! That's what kills me! I don't steal, I don't rob, these lands are bought openly, I have given money! Why give a second payment? Besides, whose land does it belong to? Is it the mud legs? It's from the government! The government only rents the land to them! Yu Zhifu, do you say that there is still such a truth in this world? β
