Chapter 107: Big Stick and Radish
The news of Na Tong's suicide was widely spread through the newspapers, and early the next morning, it caused a sensation in the entire Tianjin Mansion, and there was a lot of discussion in the streets and alleys.
Went to Tianjin, investigated, exposed, suppressed, rioted, only ten days before and after, after a rope hung on the beam, Natong's short political career and the whole life came to an end.
Although Na Tong met the king of Hades in advance, someone had to clean up the mess he left behind, and in the face of Tianjin Mansion, where the situation was still out of control, Ye Kai was facing a difficult problem that was not easy.
The ordinary people did not trust the government, the Consultative Bureau did not buy it at all, the revolutionaries also began to fan the flames, and even took advantage of the chaos last night to loot a batch of goods on the docks, and the development of things to such a field is a thorny problem for everyone in charge of this matter, and it is not possible to watch Tianjin fall into continuous chaos, Ye Kai's actions must not only be fast, but also accurate.
Of course, Ye Kai's first knife can not be drawn in the wrong place, as the first area in the country to implement the reform of local official positions, the heart of Zhili Province - Tianjin is simply too special, from 1906, Tianjin government took the lead in the implementation of local autonomy, judicial independence, and then the establishment of the Shunzhi Consultative Bureau is even more far-reaching, in the local power is so great, even the governor has to tremble to listen to opinions, and set up a special supervision hall to undertake the proposal sent by the Advisory Bureau, which has also caused a strong civil force, constitutional democracy rampant in Tianjin, The official retreat and the people's advance, it is precisely because of this that Natong's previous many brutal decrees have undoubtedly touched their cake.
Therefore, in order to quell this increasingly fierce ****, Ye Kai must not put on a high-minded appearance, and must deal with it according to local conditions, the reason why the people are making trouble is nothing more than asking the government for sincerity, then Ye Kai will give them this sincerity.
Of course, this long-standing resentment has not completely dissipated, and this uncertainty will continue to exist until their vital interests are truly protected, which is the most practical problem.
Therefore, a Tianjin Ye Kai canceled the curfew and clearance order that caused a monstrous disaster, and ordered the governor not to disturb the people's livelihood without reason from now on, in addition, he sent several teams of soldiers stationed in the salt and freight terminals, and restored the previously stagnant shipping trade to normal as soon as possible.
The measure went smoothly and unhindered, and in just one day, Tianjin's vast commercial establishments were largely restored to normal, such as docks, railways, land and water, and other commercial and trading locations, which had previously been out of control.
The feedback is undoubtedly positive, the situation of the hawkers' strike in the afternoon is completely over, fighting snakes and hitting seven inches, Ye Kai's trick is to give priority to solving the problem of interests, the Chinese people are the most realistic group of people, well-fed, warmly dressed, and have money to spend, who will follow you to rebel?
If the restoration of the normal operation of the Jinmen region is the first step, then the next step is to invite people's hearts, imagine that if the governor of a province is willing to take the initiative to start a dialogue with the civilians, the huge contrast between this is enough to make everyone regain confidence, Ye Kai did this, for this reason, his posture is put to the minimum.
At the same time when the curfew and clearance order were lifted, Ye Kai came to the Zhili Provincial Prison non-stop, and personally met with the more than 100 arrested Tianjin newspaper people in the prison.
This military-born governor not only did not have the slightest rudeness, but on the contrary, he had a modest attitude, even well-informed, and there was no obstacle to communicate with those news editors who were full of constitutionalism, Ye Kai praised them for being outspoken and daring, and they were conscientious newspaper people, but he did not acquit these arrested people on the spot, but claimed that everything could only be implemented after legal procedures, and he, the governor, had no choice, but Ye Kai assured that they would be treated humanely during their detention, in short, Return their innocence as soon as possible.
It was the first time to talk to the feudal officials on such an equal footing, and those arrested newspaper people were naturally grateful to Dade, and even said that they had come over these days, and they didn't mind waiting a few more days, and at the same time, the former's behavior of respecting the law won the favor of everyone, and many people had already drafted in their hearts how to report on the new governor with a democratic style after being released from prison.
Of course, there is no need for them to remind Ye Kai how to use a good political show, and these news were all published in the newspapers of Jinmen one by one, and it didn't take long for the image of an official with a new style and a peaceful attitude to appear on the paper.
Ye Kai held the teacup, sat leisurely on the chair, and naturally held the newspaper that had just been issued today, with his photo printed on the front page, and a line of eye-catching headlines underneath, "Good Duke Governor, the evil government has been removed, the blessing of Jinmen, and the people celebrate." ”
Ye Kai's hard work was not in vain, the reflection of this issue of the newspaper was unprecedentedly good, on the third day of taking office as the nursing governor, the entire Tianjin area basically returned to the situation before the accident, and the evaluation of Ye Kai by his real name tended to be positive, at least it was a world of difference from the previous Natong.
With a preliminary mass base, Ye Kai can finally implement the last step of the three-step plan to quell the chaos, which is an out-and-out dangerous move, and it cannot be carried out without the successful foreshadowing of the first two steps.
The name of the plan is called, Punishment!
As an important part of the stick and radish strategy, Ye Kai is finally going to wield the stick that has been stored for a long time, those lawbreakers who deliberately make trouble, and the scum and bugs who take advantage of the chaos to rob, do you think you can get away with it by mixing in the crowd? No kidding, since you have done it, you have to pay the price you deserve!
Ye Kai is definitely famous this time, however, in order to avoid causing **** again, the government's announcement specifically stated that this arrest is only for those who violate the law and commit crimes, and if the general public finds it, it can be exposed on the spot, and the Governor's Office will give rewards as appropriate.
A vigorous arrest activity began, when a large number of riot masterminds were tied up and paraded through the streets, no one gave sympathetic eyes to them, waiting for them was the most fair trial, the hand that took the ill-gotten wealth should be chopped off, lest the evil head of the world should be rewarded with a bullet, under the deliberate guidance of Ye Kai, public opinion has always been towards his side.
Twenty days after the incident, the large-scale riots caused by Na Tong's stupid measures have become a thing of the past, and Tianjin, as the throat of shipping, has ushered in an opportunity to regain prosperity.
Ye Kai's follow-up actions are far from over, since the quelling incident has given him enough impression points, then he doesn't mind taking advantage of this good situation to increase his prestige and popularity by several levels
Tianjin Government Official Station, as a temporary office location, Ye Kai has been staying here for the past few days.
The reason why he did not live in the governor's yamen was mainly for security reasons, in recent years, a large number of governors and governors have been assassinated by the revolutionary party, in view of Liangbi's identity in history, Ye Kai can not have the slightest slack, fortunately, there is a security bureau 24 hours guard, his safety has been guaranteed to the maximum.
In the bedroom, Ye Kai hadn't gone to bed yet, he was sitting on the desk, writing something on the paper, after such a long time of exercise, he was used to writing with a brush.
"Chun'er, give this letter to a person named Liu Jixi, he is a celebrity in Tianjin Mansion, it is not difficult to find." Ye Kai put the paper into the envelope and folded it carefully, and then instructed Han Chun on the side.
Han Chun'er took the envelope and didn't ask much, he didn't need Ye Kai's reminder, it was his ability to find someone.
Ye Kai was the only one left in the empty room, he lay on the bed, he hadn't slept for a long time, and his mind kept thinking that the lake in Tianjin Mansion that had just calmed down, with this letter, I believe it would boil again.
The next morning, a shocking piece of news was urgently published in the headlines, and the nursing governor Liang Bi personally went to the council chamber to be questioned by the councillors in person.
The confronting of the governor and a group of common people was an unprecedented miracle, and for a time, the surprised, the suspicious, the curious, the lively, the constitutionalists and the revolutionary party rushed to the Zhili Consultative Bureau.
