Chapter 862 - Asking for Salary
The crowd and Jinyi began to confront each other, and one of the several people in the crowd shouted, "We are not going to rebel!" We just want to see the Admiral! We're going to pay, we're going to eat! ”
The leading hundred households said in a deep voice: "If there is anything you want to mention, you can nominate a few people to come out and ask to see the Admiral, what do you all want to do when you get together?" Do you want to coerce the Admiral? Do you still have the law of the court in your eyes? ”
"This official, it's really because we haven't received a salary for several years! If we go like this, we will have to starve to death! Everyone is starving to death, who will build ships for the imperial court in the future! ”
"That's it!" "That's it!" There was a chorus of echo from the crowd, and these words aroused the desire in the hearts of these people, and overcame the fear in their hearts, and someone shouted: "We will pay!" We're going to make a sound! ”
With these shouts, more people began to shout, and the movement suddenly became louder, and the faces of the hundreds of households who took the lead turned blue one by one.
This voice was very loud, even Zhang Zhijie in the hall could hear it clearly, and now he didn't need to explain to Deputy Qianhu, Zhang Zhijie and they all understood what was happening! Zhang Zhijie couldn't help laughing: "The action is really fast enough!" Let's go, go out with Bendo! ”
When I got out of the hall, I saw a piece of black pressure outside, which looked magnificent in this narrow shipyard, of course, Zhang Zhijie would not be frightened by these thousands of craftsmen, after all, they are all people who have seen thousands of troops!
Zhang Zhijie led a group of people to the front of the crowd and looked at the crowd quietly. The men also noticed, and a group of people came out of the hall, led by a young official, dressed in a gold-woven python robe. That python robe is really dazzling, it only exists in legends, but it is the first time I have seen it.
Zhang Zhijie stood there quietly, but it brought an indescribable pressure, the people standing in front knelt on the ground as soon as their legs were weak, and the people behind them knelt to the ground after him.
Except for the people brought by Zhang Zhijie who pressed the handle of the knife and watched the crowd vigilantly, no one stood at the scene!
Zhang Zhijie was very satisfied, and raised his voice: "Let me introduce myself first, this governor Zhang Zhijie was ordered to supervise Jinyiwei, you should also know that the will of the Holy Lord has just issued a decree to assign the Longjiang Shipyard to the jurisdiction of Jinyi Weinan Town Fusi, that is to say, you will be Jinyiwei's people in the future!" ”
"Therefore, the Governor brought people to the Longjiang Shipyard in order to take over the Longjiang Shipyard from the Ministry of Industry! The Governor also knows that the people are afraid of brocade clothes and guards, and many of them are biased, but they are just rumors! Jin Yiwei just treats the enemy fiercely, and treats the corrupt and perverted the law fiercely! It's not the same to treat your own people! Absolutely kind! And you will be Jinyiwei's own people from now on! Zhang Zhijie raised his voice.
"Don't say much else, Bendu can tell you clearly, our own people in Jinyiwei will not bully our own people, and we will not let others bully Jinyiwei's people!"
There was a commotion from the people below, but no one was silent. Zhang Zhijie said with a smile: "You all gathered together today to ask to see Bendu, I don't know what it is?" ”
The kneeling crowd was in a commotion again, and the few people kneeling in front gritted their teeth and said, "Lord Admiral!" The Admiral has just come to Longjiang Shipyard, and the little ones shouldn't disturb the Admiral! It's just that the little ones can't do it, and the shipyard hasn't issued silver for several years! Everybody can't get by! ”
"Lord Admiral's prestige is famous all over the world, and please be merciful to the Lord Admiral, and give the little ones their hands and salaries! If you don't pay any more, the whole family will starve to death! ”
"Please, sir! Let's get paid! "Please, sir! Let's get paid! The cries came and went, and many were even hoarse.
The scene suddenly got out of control, "quiet" and "quiet", and the hundreds of households present shouted one after another, but compared to the pleading voices of thousands of people, they were simply insignificant, and they were directly annihilated by the pleading!
The brocade guards in front of Zhang Zhijie drew out embroidered spring knives one after another, and the back of the knife and the scabbard struck each other, making a stabbing sound, and the crowd quickly quieted down again because of fear.
The scene quieted down, Zhang Zhijie looked at these craftsmen with vegetable faces and ragged clothes, they were indeed pitiful! Zhang Zhijie raised his voice and laughed: "This is a matter of course, this governor heard about it when he first came to Longjiang Shipyard, you have not been paid for several years!" The Governor can promise you that since you have become a member of the brocade guard, you will definitely be paid! ”
"My lord, don't hide it from my lord, the court has been fooling us for a few years, and it has been delayed again and again, and every time it is said to be good, but in the end, I even saw a silver hair! Dare to ask adults, when will the salary be paid? Please give me a word of approval! ”
The nearby Jinyi guards all glared at this person who spoke, and they dared to talk to Lord Admiral like this! If it weren't for Lord Admiral, this kid would have picked it up a long time ago!
Zhang Zhijie listened to it and smiled and said: "This governor has just arrived, and this account document has not yet been clarified. How much money the court owes you, the governor must always figure it out! ”
Zhang Zhijie paused, and said in a loud voice: "However, this governor still gives you a quasi-letter!" Ten days, ten days later, everyone came here to get paid! How much the court owes you all these years, the governor has sent it to you! ”
The scene was silent, and everyone's faces were full of incredible looks, although they were plucked to ask for salary, but they really didn't get paid! I wouldn't have thought that I would send it all at once!
Even those who fanned the flames and brought the craftsmen didn't expect it to be like this, and even they looked incredulous!
Zhang Zhijie smiled: "What? Don't believe me? This governor is a high-ranking official, and he is an important minister of the court, and he has always been a man of his word! If you say it, you can do it! ”
Zhang Zhijie's reputation is still very good! The name of the person, the shadow of the tree, the fame of Zhang Zhijie, even the naughty boy in the market knows that the big man who holds the power at a young age, how can such a big man lie and deceive these lowly craftsmen?
Looking at the elite people with long knives around him, it was very easy to deal with these unarmed craftsmen, and there was no need to spend effort to deceive them!
These craftsmen just woke up, kowtowed one after another, sang praises and praises, and their faces were full of gratitude and excitement! Being able to pay the salaries that the imperial court should have given them is already a great favor for them!
They thought that the salary in the past few years had been lost, but they didn't expect it to be sent!
