"Where...... Take a look at what this Great Qing Kingdom looks like! ”

In the corner of the tavern, which is not obtrusive, a middle-aged man sitting alone drinking wine is drunk there.

"Let's take a look! Now it is said that Russia and Russia are at odds with each other, and the imperial court thinks that they are friends with each other, and should be handled according to the practice of external neutrality."

The middle-aged man was blushing and his brain was drunk, but his mouth was yelling.

"What the hell did you do" outside the neutrality rules "and demarcate designated battlefields", which is really a shame to be thrown into the Pacific Ocean. ”

He was yelling there, only to provoke the people around him to really look at him.

"What is Manchuria, that is the land of ancestors!"

Originally, no one paid attention to him, after all, it has been two months since the neutral array was announced, and the news has long become old news. But this sentence provoked public anger.

"The land of ancestors, you haven't drunk too much!"

"That's it!"

"Yan collects Liao, Qin sets up counties, it is clear that the place of our Han people, how can it become the ancestral land of Suolu!"

"Not really!"

"I didn't look at what was written on the revolutionary army, that Suo Lu was just what Tunguska moved over, when do you care about our land in China, this was cut yesterday, and a piece is made tomorrow, this is just that foreigner in the Northeast dog eats dog, of course he will be neutral......"

"No, as long as the foreigner still recognizes the court of the Suolu, they will ......"

Before he finished speaking, as soon as the shadow of the patrolman with a black top on his head and a baton on his waist appeared at the door of the tavern, everyone immediately paused.

"The Han Jan of the dog!"

A worker who was drinking wine sighed through the wine.

"Say who you are! I don't want to live anymore, but! ”

The two patrolmen glared at him and walked over to him.

"Hey! Official, I didn't say anything, but I looked at Qin Hui, who recognized the thief as his father in the play, and was annoyed, so he scolded, Official, what are you ......?"

The workers laughed with them, and the people around them laughed, but the two patrol policemen couldn't stay still in the tavern, scolded and yelled a few words, and then left the tavern. But just now, a few more people spat at him.

"A bunch of doglegs, the company's realm can take their turns......"

"Come on, now you see that our company has let these dogs annihilate the scourge ......"

The people on the side said, but the worker who scolded the two patrol policemen muttered, and Ye Ming went to the cruel words of their dog master, and continued to drink, and the words "Don't talk about state affairs" posted on the wall warned them, and now the company is different from the past.

"This is a tax worth 100 taels according to the rule, and your iron factory sold 73,650,000 taels last year, and 7,365,000 taels according to the rules, but you only pay less than 1,000,000 taels!"

Yin and Yang said angrily, Yan Chongnian twisted his head and ordered the tax collector on the side.

"Write this down!"

"Yes, Lord Yan!"

The tax collector took a brush and wrote it down in his notebook.

But Hu Nianzu suppressed the anger in his heart.

"Lord Liu ...... at the beginning"

"What Lord Liu, you have a king in your eyes!"

Yan Chongnian's eyes widened, staring at Hu Nianzu, this thing actually took a dead person to press himself.

"The contract signed between Ma'anshan and the Governor of Liangjiang is here, please also ask your Excellency to know it!"

As he spoke, Hu Nianzu took over the contract signed with Liu Kunyi from the secretary behind him, which included tax items.

"The Governor of Liangjiang reported to the imperial court and authorized the Jianghuai Road Mining Company to pay a low tax of 100 yuan within 10 years to help the development of the enterprise!"

Picking up the pieces of paper with his fingers, Yan Chongnian saw that the last signature belonging to Liu Kunyi and the official seal of the governor of Liangjiang just sneered.

"Yo, I should be that Lord Liu, that's an old thing that has gone into the ground!"

Hearing him say this, Hu Nianzu suddenly became angry, and when he was about to break out, the secretary next to him gently persuaded him.

"Haven't you heard of the phrase "People die and they are in politics?"

Hu Nianzu, who was looking at Yan Chongnian's waist and face sideways.

"It's a shame that you're still a five-rank official, I really don't know how you brought this top, don't you even understand this rule? It is true that the governor of Liangjiang is the master of my family, that old thing has died a long time ago, and you have not paid your taxes, isn't this not in the eyes of the king's law! ”

After that, Yan Chongnian's face was straight, and he didn't have the aura of a slave at all, but he showed a bit of official authority.

"If it weren't for the fact that it wasn't easy for my master to think of you Hu Nianzu to set up a factory, I'm afraid that your sin would have been cured a long time ago, and how could I have allowed you to ......?"

Yan Chongnian said bitterly there, he came to Ma'anshan to be sent by the uncle, obviously to come here to check the tax, but in fact, he wanted to turn out something from here, but even if it was the tax inspection, Zhang Nanpi of Huguang was annoyed and handed six folds to the Queen Mother.

Don't those dogs know that the Great Wall will not be built!

"Then I want to thank Lord Yan and your master!"

Hu Nianzu snorted coldly, looking at how disgusting these people looked in their hearts.

"Please forgive Nian Zu for being rude, the company still has other things, and I will not accompany you!"

After that, Hu Nianzu turned around.

"I won't play with you bastards!"

When he turned around, he spat at the guys wearing red tops, Hu Nianzu left the company's conference room angrily, jumped into his own wild horse cart when he went out, and drove to the street.

Although he was driving a car, he was still angry in his heart, and the tax collectors sent from the provincial capital to check the taxes were greedy one by one, and their eyes were still looking at them from time to time, so that in order to avoid leakage, the machinery factory had to stop production, the guns stopped, the guns stopped, and even the bullets stopped.

Now Hu Nianzu doesn't think about anything, he only feels that he is close to collapse, there are those eyes staring at this Ma'anshan, not only that the machinery factory can not continue to produce weapons, but also that the production of the steel plant has been affected, thinking of the situation that the company is facing recently, Hu Nianzu's heart is powerless but turned into anger.

As he drove, he looked at the drizzling city, the pedestrian-strewn sidewalks, the countless chimneys that stood on the rooftops like towering trees, and only the clouds of white smoke tumbling on the rooftops and the thousands of carts that were in droves like great chains, still showed the vitality of the city, which carried coal to the factories and to the small stations where the goods were loaded and unloaded.

He looked at the carriages and trolleys running on the highway, which was originally the largest steel city in China, he supplied all the steel and steel in China, and could create hundreds of millions of dollars of wealth here a year, but now China's largest steel mill was stirred up by a group of red-topped people.

The situation in front of him made him feel that he was on the verge of exploding, and if he didn't leave, he believed that he would pull out of his desk and shoot the bastards.

"Dogs, a bunch of bastards who aren't enough of a slave!"

scolded in his heart, Hu Nianzu knew that now he didn't use anything, and for this group of monsters, there was no need for any so-called compromise. The only way to stop destroying this factory is to rebel! Talk to them with a gun, but ...... Occasion! Occasion!

The car was parked on the side of the road, Hu Nianzu looked at these factories with a helpless eye, their thousands of windows flashing golden in the setting sun, and the low, continuous rumbling sound from the factories and workshops that resounded all over the streets and alleys made Hu Nianzu feel the power of industry, the powerful beating of the pulse of urban life, which brought him a kind of hope.

"Black dog!"

Looking at the roadside walking around a few black tops, the dazzling black top is like an invisible sword, stabbing Hu Nianzu's heart, this is the Anhui governor sent to the iron factory patrol police, said to maintain the quiet of the place, but to the root, but to the root, but to take the company, a few days ago, but also in the name of checking the gun, the company's economic police department of the gun to collect.

After spending so much energy, so much wisdom, so much labor, and so much capital for oneself and nature, for what? …… In order to start from scratch again now? In order to build another building, let it end up and fall again.

Those bastards are just trying to destroy my factory!

Thinking that his factory might be destroyed in the hands of those people, Hu Nianzu's heart ached, and he couldn't sit still in the car, so he walked on the steel street.

In a few moments, he disappeared into the crowd that flowed on the sidewalk, pushing and shoving as they pushed. He couldn't help but look at the windows of some shops, the current Ma'anshan is far away and more prosperous in the past, and the workers with full pockets have enough spare money to buy all kinds of goods, such as ready-to-wear clothes for wives and children, candy for children, and even washing machines from the Shanghai Yangzi Electric Appliance Factory.

The company has been supporting its workers for more than a year, and at this time it has shown its effect, and now 20% of the industrial products produced by some small factories invested by the Industrial Bank are sold to the industry's own workers.

Walking on the street, Hu Nianzu met a group of several off-duty workers crowded into a tavern, thinking that these workers didn't know if they were avoiding the mother-in-law at home to drink here, but when he saw someone trying to go in, the two workers standing at the door of the tavern pushed away.

The actions of the workers attracted Hu Nianzu's attention, and just as he was walking towards the tavern, and when he was about to walk to the door and wanted to enter, a person dressed as the company's economic police came forward in front of him, "Manager Hu! ”

The policeman had a smile on his face, and there was no compliment in the smile.

"It's not convenient here! Come back another day! ”

The policeman was still laughing, as if he wanted to stop Hu Nianzu from leaving.

"What's going on?"

"It's nothing, it's just that the big guys are gathering here!"

"And what if I want to go in?"

Hu Nianzu said coldly, but he remembered the police alarm in his heart, it is difficult to open a township here, the miners and iron factory workers in Ma'anshan are divided into the northern Anhui gang and the Shandong gang according to their origins, and the mechanics are generally from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the northern Anhui gang is good at climbing the hole, although the gang is two, and the iron factory workers are also mostly in northern Anhui and Shandong, and the factions are divided into a number of small groups according to the specific counties and places they come, among which the surname is extremely bold, and the workers are pushed to be big foremen, and the food is "plus one", that is, the workers earn ten yuan and can be divided into one piece.

In order to eliminate this kind of big foreman, the company often expels the big foreman from the company as soon as it is discovered, but it is not forbidden for the private village association, but it is inevitable that the township association will always involve some things that violate the company's regulations, such as the party.

"If the manager insists on wanting to enter, I don't dare and can't stop the manager, but I'm afraid that this will cause some trouble for the company!"

The policeman's face was pleading, and his words seemed to be unspeakable.

"Please be considerate of the manager!"

As he spoke, the policeman was still standing in front of Hu Nianzu, with no intention of getting out of the way, and at this time, there were still workers entering the tavern, including some policemen on duty.

Faintly feeling that something was wrong, Hu Nianzu looked directly at the police in front of him.

"What do you want to do!"

"Manager, don't worry, what we have to do is definitely for the good of the company!"

"For the good of the company?"

Frowning, Hu Nianzu looked at the tavern with the sign of "Hesheng Township", which was a township tavern of the Northern Anhui Gang, and obtained the meaning of Liu Xia Hui.

"Manager, don't ask, wait until you know!"

The policeman was talking there, with a smile on his face, but his words and expression made Hu Nianzu a little curious, and he walked away from the policeman, but he just wanted to enter the tavern, but was stopped by two workers at the door.

The faces of the two workers were begging, but this appearance made Hu Nianzu understand in his heart what was being discussed in this tavern, but what were they discussing?

Strike?

No way! Not to mention that they don't know what the strike is, even if they do, what will happen, the company treats the workers well for not a day or two, these workers are not grateful for virtue, and they are grateful for virtue!

Thinking of these words, Hu Nianzu Yin understood what they wanted to do, after the New Year, those red top sons entered the company, and the company from the management to the workers were talking about the government for fear that it would be unfavorable to the company, could it be that these workers thought, their hearts tightened, for fear that they would miss a big thing, and forcibly pushed the two workers away, and walked into the tavern.

There was a group of workers standing in the tavern, and the workers were drawing lots, and Hu Nianzu didn't have to think about it to know what they were drawing, and it was definitely the life and death lots.

"Hu ...... Manager Hu! ”

Shi Nanlin, who had already drawn lots, saw the manager, his face suddenly changed, and he watched Hu Nianzu walk into the tavern in surprise.

"What, what's going on today!"

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Hu Nianzu asked with a straight face.

"What kind of lottery is this!"

As he spoke, Hu Nianzu walked forward, took out a stick from the bowl, spread it out, and saw that there was a "live" word written on it.

"Who's going to talk to me!"

Throwing away the paper stick in his hand, Hu Nianzu asked solemnly.

The workers looked at the manager's appearance but just muttered nothing, Shi Nanlin looked left and right, gritted his teeth and took a step forward, and gave his hand first, they had practiced Han etiquette during training.

"Manager! The company treats me well, and now the company is useful, and we will not retreat! ”

"The company is useful?"

"It is clearly written in the newspaper that the end of the party intends to attack the company, we are all poor and lowly people, and we have a cheap life, that is, we live like a human being when we get to the company, and the other end wants to destroy our industry, not to mention that the boss and manager do not agree, even I will not sit idly by and wait for these workers."

Shi Nanlin was calm and glanced around.

"As the saying goes, raising soldiers for a thousand years, using soldiers for a while, the company treats us well, how can we not know! This time, Shandong, northern Anhui, Jiangsu and Zhejiang have elected 60 capable people, and we will draw life and death lots......"

In the next sentence, Shi Nanlin didn't say it anymore, but Hu Nianzu understood what he meant.

"You're a repeat of the assassination of the horse, aren't you?"

"Please rest assured that this matter will never have anything to do with the company!"

Shi Nanlin lowered his head.

"The person who draws the death lottery will resign from the company and go to Jiangning to follow Jing Ke's assassination of Qin! I wait for my co-workers, each of whom will pay one yuan, and support the dead and sign the family for the rest of their lives! ”

"Please rest assured, we will never affect the company!"

There were a few more people next to him bowing and talking, and this was the person who drew a dead lot.

"Why don't you get involved!"

"No matter whether we succeed or fail, we will kill ourselves on the spot, and we will never harm the company, not to mention that this is just our personal doing, and it has nothing to do with the company!"

Looking at these dark-faced workers, Hu Nianzu was moved but speechless, no one asked them to do this, but they felt that sitting like this could save the company.

The company has paid off for its workers, and this time it has finally paid off! If Chen Moran heard the news, he wouldn't know...... Although he felt it in his heart, Hu Nianzu, who knew that they would do bad things like this, asked again with a serious expression.

"If the matter fails, Duan Fang is still alive, and after the fact, he instructs the company to assassinate you, what should the company do! Even if it is done, what if the next governor is still like Duan Fang and does not mean good for the company? ”

Listening to the manager's words, Shi Nanlin and the others looked at each other stunned, they only thought about killing Duanfang, and then the imperial court would change the governor of Liangjiang, even if the company was stable, but they didn't think about it at all.

"Manager, are we going to let those dog officials bully us!"

Shi Nanlin was annoyed, and his voice became louder.

"What is that dog official, the brothers saw it when they were in the township, originally our company was a quiet place, the company made money, and increased the salary level of the big guys, those dog officials were red-eyed, and they all wanted to pounce and tear the company's flesh and drink the company's blood...... If you don't kill them, you can't just let him bully them! ”

When Shi Nanlin spoke, the faces of the people around him were sad, and anger was suppressed between their eyebrows.

"The company treats workers well, it is the company's duty, and it is also the efforts of the workers, if there is no you, the company would not have today's prosperity!" Hu Nianzu said earnestly, and then spoke to persuade them.

"Fellow workers, Nian Zu has thanked everyone here for their righteous deeds, but now is not the time to act rashly, if you do, I am afraid that you will fall into the trap of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and at that time, it will not only be unfavorable to the company but may even harm the company. Speaking of which, the ancestral company thanked everyone for their righteous deeds! ”

After saying that, Hu Nianzu gave a salute, but Shi Nanlin and the others were full of grievances, but they were a little helpless.

"If you really can't do it, it's against the fuck!"

Suddenly, there was an angry voice from the tavern, which only made everyone's shoulders tremble, as if they had seen something again.
