The city of Nanjing still looks depressed, more than half a month has passed since the abolition of the Chamber of Commerce, it seems that the confrontation between the Nanjing government and the merchants is still continuing, but the factories that have been directly shut down are gone, after all, except for the big businessmen, few people can bear the loss of long-term shutdown.

Shi Kefa had no intention of giving in, and with his temperament, it was impossible for him to compromise with the merchants.

Although Liu Lan and Liu Weimin did not tell him about their analysis, Shi Kefa seemed to understand a lot, and these days they have to find Liu Lan and Liu Weimin to talk together after work these days, and the meaning of the words is not too far from the analysis of Liu Lan and Liu Weimin, which makes Liu Lan and Liu Weimin look at Shi Kefa with admiration.

As an immature politician, Shi Kefa's ability to analyze problems is indeed very strong, and he can often find the essence of problems quickly.

The citizens of Nanjing were also extremely curious about this strange "war", and the debate in the newspapers continued, and later Shi Kefa no longer bothered to write articles in person, and Liu Lan also instructed Huang Zongxi to let the "China Daily" stop talking about this matter, and the "China Daily" died down, and it seemed that the businessmen's side had the upper hand in the war of public opinion.

On the third day, Shi Kefa, who discovered the problem, ordered the opening of several large granaries near Nanjing, and Nanjing's grain prices were quickly suppressed.

Nanjing's Qinhuai River is no longer as famous as it used to be, because the Nanjing government imposed heavy taxes on these places, and many merchants who opened Fengyue Farm were overwhelmed by the heavy taxes and switched to other businesses, and the huge commercial value of these lots was also discovered by them, and it has now become a commodity distribution center. I will no longer see the wine and green lights and night songs.

However, the painting boats on the Qinhuai River still existed, and since the Nanjing government did not explicitly prohibit it, there would always be these businesses.

Tonight, an ordinary painting boat on the Qinhuai River was still driving slowly on the Qinhuai River as usual, and no one paid attention to the difference between such an ordinary painting boat and usual.

In fact, the difference between this boat and other boats is that the beautiful singer is actually playing a tune and singing on the bow of the boat, and the captain on the boat does not seem to be the old man who has been looking for a livelihood on the Qinhuai River all the year round, and his attention is not on the painting boat. The eyes are always on the surroundings.

There were seven or eight people sitting around the painting boat, all of them were dressed in ordinary clothes, and they all looked like ordinary people, but as soon as they spoke, their identities were immediately revealed.

"President Shen, why do I think this won't be so simple?" A middle-aged man in his forties said to Shen Tong, the former president of the Chamber of Commerce who was as fat as Maitreya.

"Liu Dongjia, are you too worried? Now they don't have anything they can do, and if we hold on any longer, they have to give in. We've accomplished our goal. A middle-aged man who looked about the same age next to him took Liu Dongjia's words and said.

"I heard that he is about to come back from Hebei, maybe something will happen when he comes back?" One next to Liu Dongjia said.

"If he doesn't come back, our matter will not be solved, and only he can do it." Shen Tong glanced coldly at the middle-aged man who was speaking, and at this time, Shen Tong's chubby face could no longer see the usual simple smile, and there was a cold light in his eyes.

In fact, people who are familiar with Shen Tong know that don't look at his usual submissive behavior in front of the officials of the Nanjing government, low-voiced and even nodding his head every time, if anyone thinks that this is the real Shen Tong. That's a big mistake.

A few of you know Shen Tong very well and know that he is notoriously unforgiving in the business field. Once one provokes him, if he doesn't bankrupt the other party, he will generally not give up.

"It's just that we're always like this underground, and they can't find anyone to talk to?" It was the middle-aged man next to Liu Dong's house who said.

"You don't have to worry about this, someone will naturally come forward to talk to them when it's time to come forward, but you must not back down. If anyone retreats, the losses in front of us will naturally not be able to make up for it, let me say it again, if anyone betrays us, don't blame me Shen Tong for turning his face and not recognizing people at that time. Shen Tong looked around at everyone in the field. The cold air in the voice made the atmosphere in the field suddenly cool down.

"This is natural, but if they don't agree to our request, our losses will be great, and this factory will stop working like this, so it's not a solution?" Liu Dongjia looked at everyone, and finally couldn't help but say what he wanted to say.

"I said Liu Dongjia, what is your loss? If they had agreed to our terms, a hundredfold or a thousandfold would have returned. The person sitting across from Liu Dong's house said.

"What if they don't agree to our terms?" As long as Liu Dongjia didn't speak to Shen Tong, he was generally not too scared and continued to ask.

"Now it's up to them not to agree, if they still want to fight the war, they have to listen to us." Shen Tong said coldly.

"Alas, I'm afraid that one is not easy to deal with!" Liu Dongjia sighed and said.

The next morning, just after breakfast, there was a new thing in the city of Nanjing, it is impossible to talk about it as a new thing, but everyone has not seen it for a long time, and the "magic car" taken by several "angels" actually appeared on the streets of Nanjing again, and Luo Jian, the governor of the capital, sat on the car.

Luo Jian actually secretly rushed back to Nanjing the day before yesterday, and carefully investigated and understood the causes and consequences of this incident, and only then did he appear in Nanjing City in a high-profile manner at the suggestion of Liu Lan and Liu Weimin.

The warrior car can be reused, because Liu Weimin's oil fractionation has made a breakthrough, in fact, it is not a breakthrough, with the technology of making ammonia, the fractionation of oil is just pediatrics, but now there is no oil field to exploit, and what can be collected is only the "fierce fire oil" commonly used in the Ming army in the past.

Previously, because all the diesel fuel transmitted by the intelligent system was used up, Luo Jian's computer was not turned on for a long time, but now with diesel, it can be restarted.

Now everyone no longer has the previous sense of mystery about the "magic car", everyone understands that this is the product of science and technology, and there will be countless such "magic cars" on the streets of Nanjing in the future.

But after all, there is no yet, and the reappearance of the warrior car in Nanjing has caused widespread discussion among Nanjing citizens.

Luo Jian, who was sitting in the warrior car, was not in a good mood, when he had just finished the combat deployment meeting in Cangzhou and was about to continue to march north, he had received Lai Fu's report, Liu Lan's long letter and Shi Kefa's briefing, Luo Jian didn't expect such a thing to happen at this time.

Luo Jian was very reluctant to let the divisions stop, and all the troops were training and resting near Cangzhou, the next battle of the Northern Expedition would be more complicated, and without him to grasp the overall situation, what would the battle be like was really unreassuring.

Sitting on a small steam merchant ship specially arranged by Liulan, Luo Jian set off overnight and rushed back to Nanjing along the canal as fast as possible.

In fact, during this time, Lai Fu and the Ministry of Security were not idle, although this incident happened accidentally, but the process since then is indeed extremely weird, if Lai Fu does not even have this sensitivity, then he is really like Shi Kefa scolded, is too incompetent.

Fortunately, Lai Fu is not so incompetent, after more than half a month of in-depth and meticulous investigation, all the spearheads began to point at Shen Tong, the former president of the Chamber of Commerce, as if he was the mastermind of the whole incident, as for what their specific purpose was, the Ministry of Security failed to understand.

Luo Jian's return to Nanjing made many people breathe a sigh of relief, including Liu Dongjia, who talked the most that night, Liu Dongjia opened a silk factory, these days his factory has all shut down, and the loss of silver money has been a lot, but he is distressed, if it were not for the fact that there is still a "big pie" in the future, he may have given up against the government and let the factory start.

However, Luo Jian, who returned to Nanjing in a high-profile manner, did not immediately deal with the shutdown of factories and the boycott of merchants, and for three days he was talking to people everywhere, including some businessmen, some government workers and even some people in Nanjing, and no one knew why.

Talking to businessmen is understandable, after all, it solves the problem, and talking to government officials and ordinary people does not seem to do the slightest good to solve the problem.

Although Luo Jian's return to Nanjing did not seem to make things better, the factories that had stopped working were still suspended, the market still looked depressed, and the ships on the Yangtze River and the canal were rarely seen except those owned by the government.

On the first day of Luo Jian's return to Nanjing, the situation finally changed somewhat, and the front page of the "China Daily" actually republished Luo Jian's article "Businessmen Should Be Patriotic" a few years ago, and many people seemed to smell something from this small incident.

The next day, not only did the "China Daily" publish notices, but also many notices were posted on the streets and alleys, and a public trial meeting will be held in the morning of the next day, and everyone can go and watch it.

Shen Tong was a little surprised, and what surprised him was that no one else received a notice that they had to participate in this public trial meeting, that is, all the eight people who discussed on the painting boat that day had received it.

Shen Tong was originally ready to "sell and sell" with the government, and he didn't want to "show up" so soon, but now the Nanjing government suddenly came so suddenly, which caught him a little off guard.

However, Shen Tong soon thought about it, anyway, sooner or later he had to face it directly, this metropolitan governor rushed back from the front line, he didn't believe that the Nanjing government had any other way to make so many businessmen compromise, not to mention that his demands to the government were reasonable.

To say that the biggest common denominator of the Chinese people is that they like to watch the excitement, it was not yet 8 o'clock in the morning of the public trial meeting, and the Nanjing University was already crowded with people, and many people still came over with stools.

Except for a group of soldiers who were maintaining order, no one from the government had yet arrived, and everyone seemed to have arrived a little early.

But people soon found that today's stage is quite different from the scene of the previous official trial, the stage must be the presiding judge sitting, but why are there so many stools placed underneath? Could these prisoners be able to sit?

Everyone began to talk about it, but some people soon found that there were two large pillars standing in front of the platform, and the top of the pillars looked like tin horns. Do you want people to climb to the top of a pillar and shout?

Anyway, the public trial has not yet begun, and the curiosity of the people in Nanjing has been completely aroused. (To be continued.) )
