Chapter 452: The Blind Man and the Blind Horse

After the initial ignorance, the people soon reacted to the idea of self-control. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The yamen ceased to work because these yamen in the pre-Jin era did not recognize their legitimacy. The first thing that those officials of the yamen should ensure is their own personal safety, not the official affairs of the yamen. So the county order fled with the big seal, and the prefect fled to the foreign bank, and outside the gate of the three divisions, he invited foreign soldiers to protect him. Although it will not be rushed in for a while, the work can no longer be discussed.

The so-called self-control, specific regulations and rules are still in the process of being formulated, but in fact, the operation of public security and sanitation must be completed by one's own strength.

Shandong's previous public toilets and road widening system were paralyzed due to the lack of the power of the government. As for the public toilets, the people who collected the dung were beaten because they had their braids cut, and some were beaten with boards for resisting to cut their braids, so that the others did not dare to enter the city. The smell of the city is getting worse day by day. Various projects led by the government have also come to a standstill.

Some of the contracts were signed to foreigners, whose contracts could not be enforced, and began to angrily complain to the consuls of their own countries. Another part of the foreigners, with the attitude of watching the fire from across the strait, observed the development of the situation in Shandong and looked for their own opportunities.

Zhao Guanhou previously ran a new policy in Shandong, focusing on culture and education, and Jinan University, middle school, and primary school are readily available. At the same time, the literary style of Shandong Province is quite prosperous, and there are many students in Jinan. Most of these students were supporters of constitutionalism, but because of Shandong's good law and order and strict school control measures, the students were not likely to make a disturbance.

The restless emotions are like energy accumulation, with the assassination of Zhao Guanhou and the change of banner in Jinan, this energy broke out in an instant. Excited students left their schools and homes and rushed into the streets.

They held hands, waved flags, and shouted slogans such as "Support Shandong's self-control, expel the Tatars" and similar slogans, and circled around Jinan to celebrate the arrival of the sun. The unpleasant stench in the air, the unfinished roads, and the half-covered warehouses are tolerable for the time being. They firmly believe that as long as self-control can be implemented, these problems can be solved smoothly.

More people chose to close their doors and watch the scenery. For them, it doesn't matter whether they are self-made or imperial, Han or banner. What I am most worried about is the change of dynasty and the unquiet market, and once some bandits take advantage of the fire to rob, their lives and property will not be guaranteed.

Several young female students, excitedly taking to the streets, were holding flags and shouting "Restore the Han Dynasty, expel the Tartars." They were greeted by more than a dozen men armed with knives and guns, and surrounded them.

Several female students have a good family background, so they are not too afraid of the group formed by these villagers. One of them puffed out his chest and asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

"What? I don't know, Shandong has made its own, and the rules of Qianjin should be changed. If you have braids, you are not allowed to keep them! A dough pointed to a girl's braided braid.

The other group pointed to the woman's feet, "Also, we will have rules for self-made feet, prohibiting foot binding." All those who bind their feet must put their feet down. ”

"Do you need to say this? A group of dirt buns, I haven't seen a hillbilly on the market! The girl glanced at these group members with disdain. When Dashuai ran a girls' school in Shandong, he said that he encouraged us to let go of our feet, and we had already put our feet down. This braid, and it's not a big braid that the Jin people forced to keep, it's what we have to do with it, what does it have to do with you? Get out of the way, don't stand in our way in favor of self-control. ”

It is true that a few of the group members are from the countryside, and they don't know much about the rules in the city, but they rushed to the city and got the news that they came to be the masters. A few good-looking girls wore skirts that showed their calves, which was a bad custom in the countryside. It also makes them believe that these girls are easy to get started with and are not considered women of good families.

With a knife in his hand, he felt confident, and he dared to do what he didn't dare to do, but now he dares to do it. Originally, they just wanted to strike up a conversation, say a few words, and ask for names, but this hillbilly angered everyone.

The leader shook the knife in his hand, "No!" I don't care if you love beauty or not, anyway, there is an order from above, and all the braids have to be cut. And, your feet! You say it's not entangled, it's not entangled? Come back to the regimental headquarters with us, we have to check. ”

"You...... You bastard! "The schoolgirl's face is flushed with shame" A woman's feet, can you also see it? ”

"Why not? What kind of kind of girls are you, we don't know yet? The handsome can touch your feet, and those who are officials can also touch them, why can't we? Take them all away, and they all go back to the regimental headquarters! ”

The schoolgirls screamed and cursed, and the flag in their hands fell to the ground, and was immediately trampled by the big feet of the barefoot group, and the flag was smashed. Several women were pushed and walked towards the regimental headquarters, and the leader of the regiment looked at the female students with vicious eyes as he walked, thinking about how to clean them up.

"Where are you taking people? Let everyone go! At first, I thought it was a comprador of a foreign firm, but when I looked closely, I saw a woman in a suit. A few big men were even more surprised, why are the rules in this city so different from those in the countryside? Not only can a woman show her face, but she can also wear a man's clothes, and no one cares?

"Who are you? Don't mind our business, we are under the orders of the self-control society, and anyone who resists to cut his braids will be arrested! Let me tell you, even the county lord is useless now, and we will catch it correctly. No matter how much nonsense you talk about, I'll arrest you too. ”

"Want to catch me? I'm afraid it's not that easy! Zou Long! ”

Behind this beautiful woman in a suit was a very capable young man in his twenties, who stepped forward at this time and made a whistle, and in a short time, more than twenty sturdy men surrounded him, also holding spears and darts in their hands, and surrounded this group.

"This is Miss Zou! The eldest daughter of the self-made old lady Zou, dare to be disrespectful to our eldest lady, you have a few heads! ”

That group Ding did not show weakness, "We are the guards of the Liuyuan Foreign Mansion, this time Shandong is self-made, we are outside the staff and said, in the future, my family will be the king of Shandong!" There are not as many people in your Zou family as there are us, everyone is called people, and you must be at a loss. ”

"But now, it seems that I have more people!" Zou Xiurong said coldly: "I order you to release people!" I'm going to talk to you Liu family head about raising military salaries now, if it is destroyed by you, you can't afford the consequences! ”

Hearing the military salary, these regiments finally softened, and several female students came behind Zou Xiurong crying, Zou Xiurong comforted them one by one, and told them: "Go home, don't go to the street during this time, it's not safe." Tell your classmates not to go out on the streets......"

Liu Feng, the head of the Liu family, has an annex in Jinan, which became his temporary residence at this time. As soon as Zou Xiurong arrived, he greeted him with a smile, "Xiurong, are you here?" I'm so tired of waiting. The last time we met, was it five years ago? At that time, you and Siyuan came to my house to talk about buying land, do you still have an impression? ”

He is a few years older than Zou Xiurong, his body is extremely strong, and he has a tiger body and a bear's waist, as if he is a martial artist. His appearance is very heroic, both manly and the accumulation of years, which brings him maturity, and he is a very lethal kind of man. But Zou Xiurong only smiled at him politely, "I'm sorry, there have been too many things in the past few years, too messy, and so many things, I have forgotten them." Mr. Liu, didn't you come to me today to discuss cooperation with me? ”

"Yes...... Cooperate. ”

Liu Feng smiled and leaned back on the Taishi chair, "Miss Zou, your second textile factory, many people have opinions." First of all, the Zhoucun silk reeling factory is under your control, right? The women workers there are really ...... How to put it, it's not like words! There are a large number of self-combing girls who do not marry and have children. This is a bad problem to learn from the southerners, and in our hometown of Confucius and Mencius, such a problem must not exist. Men and women perform their own duties, men are responsible for working and contributing to the world, and women are responsible for housework and giving birth to children, which is a truth handed down by our ancestors. Think about it, if women refuse to marry and have children, how can there be anyone in this world? ”

"That's their power!"

"Don't mention power to me, women's power, that's Zhao Guanhou's heresy, we make our own Zhengfu, I don't believe in this. If there is any power, it can only be decided after everyone meets and votes. In short, the silk reeling factory had to be closed first. The second is your textile factory, which also has too much to do with the Dajin court, which is not good. Besides, Siyuan opened a textile factory, and you also opened a textile factory, isn't it a waste? In Shandong, it is enough to have a big textile factory, and the two of you will fight in the ring, and in the end it will hurt our own foundation. What I want to talk to you about is this kind of partnership. We bought the second textile mill, compensated you, and you quit the business. Isn't it good that part of the funds you own can be converted into shares and give you dividends every year? Besides, sooner or later, you are going to get married, and you are always showing your face outside, and the future will not be good for you. This is also what Zou Lao meant. ”

He was afraid that Zou Xiurong would misunderstand, and explained: "Zou Lao is a senior, and we will not take away your property if we look at his face." There will be no less compensation, we will compensate according to the market price, and we will not let you suffer. That's it...... But we can give you bonds, we have railways and minerals in Shandong, and some are sources of income. As long as we keep the situation under control and turn these things into cash in the future, we promise to pay dividends on a monthly basis, and we won't make you suffer. ”

Zou Xiurong's face turned ugly, and he looked "Liu Yuanwai, didn't you come to me to talk to me about jointly forming a self-made council?" ”

Liu Feng was a little inexplicable, "Self-made council? This one does exist, and we still have to elect representatives. However, this is a man's business. What we did was Ge Ming, if we failed, we would kill our heads, could we involve women? You will be involved in the future. I will never let a woman enter the council, I want to kill the head, before the old men in Shandong die, it will not be the turn of the woman to be on top! ”

"Okay, I won't talk about this issue for now, today on the road, I saw your regimental member, a female student, I hope Liu Yuanwai will restrain your subordinates!"

When Liu Feng heard this, he didn't get angry but laughed, "Oh, female student, that's nothing." I told them to go and have fun with the schoolgirls. They are all a group of singles, and after entering the city, they have no military pay, and if you don't give them some fun, aren't they going to rebel? This Jinan is not a country, it is full of gold. They have knives in their hands, and if they rob them, won't the common people be unlucky? It is good for everyone to give them a little sweetness and maintain discipline. Those female students are not serious women, what are they afraid of? ”

"Schoolgirls aren't serious women?" Zou Xiurong looked at Liu Feng inexplicably, "They are all Western-educated, how can they become indecent women." ”

"It's because I've received a Western-style education, so I'm not a serious woman. Serious women, all look at the boudoir rings, women's training, the door does not go out of the two doors, like my sister, that is called a serious woman. Follow your father at home, marry your husband, and start from the beginning...... I'm sorry, I didn't mean that, Miss, this is a special case and can't be used as an example. Those female students can't compare with you, they run outside all day long, and I heard that there are many people who are not clear with Zhao Guanhou, and they are not good women. Just look at the skirts they wear, isn't it just to seduce men, so they deliberately show their calves? Besides, among those female students, I also heard that there were girls who went to girls' schools to study in order to make more money. You don't care about their business, it's not appropriate to turn around and hurt you. At most, I will give you a face, telling the group that you are not allowed to play for nothing, and you should give money and money. ”

"What about the peasants? Why do I see only students as supporters, neither workers nor peasants. ”

Liu Feng spread his hands, "The workers are working, the farmers are farming, they want to rise up to support Ge Ming, who will do the work?" You see, I haven't been in Xingzhong for a long time, but if you want to be reasonable, I'm afraid I know better than you. This is Ge Ming's business, which is the business of the gentry and the rich people. We have money, we have read books, and we know how to govern this country. The poor people, they think that they have two meals and one night, and whoever gives them food to eat, they will look at whomever they want, and they will not distinguish between right and wrong. If they were to participate in Ge Ming, then Ge Ming would be sour. Not only can the peasants and workers not be allowed to participate, but if anyone wants to take advantage of Ge Ming's resistance to donations and taxes, I will arrest them and behead them. ”

"Then there's no need to talk about it." Zou Xiurong Huo Ran got up, "I am not a member of Xingzhong, but I have also read the books of Xingzhonghui. Gan Geming, if the ultimate pursuit is to seek the welfare of all the people and a way out for all people in the world, I agree. But if you do this, I'm the first to object! As for the matter of military pay, there is nothing I can do to help. The second textile mill is my brainchild, and I will not sell it. I would like to remind Mr. Liu that there are 30 percent of the shares of Warby Bank in the No. 2 Textile Factory, and if you want to use any illegal means to disadvantage the factory, the consuls of various countries will not sit idly by. ”

Seeing that she was leaving, Liu Feng hurriedly stopped her

"Wait a minute! I'm ...... I haven't finished saying this yet, why do you have to leave? I also want to explain to you that the matter between my sister and Siyuan was not something I did. Xiurong ...... Listen to me......"

Zou Xiurong didn't say a word, turned around and strode out, Liu Feng sent it all the way to the door, and said loudly: "If it doesn't work, can't I ask Tuan Ding to give those female students more money?" Give ...... the price they will pay for their pick-up."

The coachman shook his whip and burst a whip in the sky, and the wheel rolled and left the willow house. Liu Feng stomped his foot in annoyance, "Blame me!" If I had told him that after my wife died, I wouldn't have married much better. Her brain is really weird, I gave her such a big face, why doesn't she know gratitude, let alone motivation. Could it be that she really has a personal relationship with the person surnamed Zhao? ”

At this time, a family member ran in from outside, "Outside, let's have some trouble cutting braids, there is an old man in his seventies, I heard what kind of talent he is, and he won't let him cut his braids." said that whoever cut his braids, he would hang himself at the door of his house, how good is this? ”

Liu Feng waved his hand impatiently, "If he hangs himself if he is willing, can he still be afraid of the dead?" Tell the following, cut the braids when you see them, and don't let go of any of them. It is a woman's feet, and you are not allowed to touch them again. Whoever dares to touch it again, I will shoot him on behalf of the people of Shandong! (To be continued.) )
