Chapter 944: Cleaning (2)
Chickens fly and dogs jump, a mess. The wailing of a woman, the crying of a child, the cursing and pleading of a man, or the sound of screams mingling with the sound of a house collapsing. Occasionally, someone ran out scolding, and then was easily shot by birds, bows and arrows. The commanding heights around have been controlled by the long-range fire of the new army, and those who go up are all sharpshooters in the army, among which there are many masters who wear through the Yang in a hundred steps, shooting these Jianghu people is no different from hunting, and no one has escaped.
In this part of the slums, fish and dragons are mixed with dirt and dirt, and there are often vicious /// incidents occur, and sometimes I don't know if I offend a certain fairy, and it is common to be swept away. However, the strength of this kind of sweeping is also limited, and there are a hundred and ten archers on the left and right, looking for some targets to clean up, and the others should live as they should live.
But this time, the imperial court moved seriously, first serious road guidance, took the original road guidance system seriously, fixed people in the slums, and then the new army went into battle.
These people don't recognize their relatives, they have no friendship to talk about, and they are not afraid of your resistance. After Li Wu was taken, the beggar gang did not disappear, it was originally a gathering place for beggars designated by the imperial court, and a large number of beggars lived. Next, there are nameless whites, homeless people, or people who can't live their lives to beg for food. In this kind of place, there must be a leader, and if the government does not designate it, it will find out by itself.
The new leader did not yet have his own prestige, and when the officers and soldiers came, they couldn't even speak, and just thought about explaining a few words, they were arrested by the officers and soldiers. This was followed by a house-to-house search, where residents were indiscriminately checked. Some had no way, no identity, and were then kicked out of their homes. There are also some fugitives themselves, and in this kind of place, if they want to hide in the city, they can't hide it at all this time.
Some were captured, while others drew their knives and tried to resist, and were then hacked to death. For these dark forces, the imperial court slashed hard this time, and after noon, thousands of people with problematic identities in the entire slum were arrested, and the strength of the entire beggar district was uprooted. Li Zongyun waved his hand and pulled these people out. The entire slum was as if it had been swept away by a typhoon, and it was in dilapidation and miserable.
The beggars who originally lived here, except for the crippled and immovable, were basically pulled away, and they were not necessarily all beggar disciples, and perhaps they didn't know about yesterday's attack. So I don't know what medicine the government took wrong, came to such a big sweep, and then looked at the weapons in the hands of the officials and soldiers, and the dead bodies on the ground, all of them were panicked.
An officer asked, "Li Shenrong, I heard that the Metropolitan Governor was ambushed here yesterday?" These people dare to hurt our father-in-law, and they should all be killed. If we are angry with the governors, we can just do it in the slums, so what's the use of catching them? ”
"I don't know how useful it is." Li Zongyun, who had an indifferent face, only looked at his expression, giving people the feeling that everything was under control. In fact, it is not clear the intention of the above arrangement, and it is just acting according to orders. Fortunately, the new army has developed the habit of only listening to orders without considering reasons, and can carry out such inexplicable orders without pressure.
It wasn't until these prisoners were taken over by Yang Ji that they figured out that most of these people would become coolies, doing all kinds of dangerous jobs for Yang Ji. A few people with craftsmanship may have a better life, but they also have to work hard for Yang Ji. Unlike the regular workers of Yang Kee, they have no benefits, no salary, and no retirement or vacation, and they are purely labor. Part of Yeung Kee's profits was built on the exploitation of the labor of these prisoner workers.
This sweep of the slums provided Yang Ji with thousands of unpaid laborers or workers. And the beggars, who were the former owners of the slums, have disappeared so far.
On the other side, Yang Chengzu took Qingqing to a store and looked at the contract in his hand. The location of this restaurant is good, and it is profitable, which is the most profitable one in the serious business under the name of the Zhang family. The shopkeeper is also an eight-sided and exquisite character, but in front of this unreasonable barbaric force, it does not mean that there are many means, there is a way to solve it, and in the end, he can only reluctantly admit bad luck.
"You decided to join the store under the name of Yang Ji and accept the management of Yang Ji? Have you always run with the Zhang family, I know that you are a loyal minister of Zhang Qiansui, why now, you have defected to Yang Ji, are you not afraid that Zhang Qiansui will be unhappy? ”
The Governor joked. The villain is just a businessman, who is qualified to say that he is loyal to whom. Guibao wants to dominate the restaurant of Jingshi, this ambition is admired by the villain. In the past, I didn't figure it out myself, but I hope that you have a lot of them, raise your noble hand, and give the villain a way to go. The villain promised that he would act according to Yang Ji's arrangement in the future, and would never dare to disobey. ”
Yang Chengzu nodded and put the contract down, "Very good." Those who know the times are Junjie! Originally, I wanted to smash your store three times so that you could no longer do business, and then talk about the takeover. It's rare for you to know so much, and I don't embarrass you. You are a decent man, let you be the treasurer under me, you will not be satisfied, and you will not do my bidding. So this restaurant, I bought it. You say a price, everyone can talk about it, I will ask my subordinates to give you the money, if you can't talk about it, then I will bring someone to smash it three times, and it's the same. ”
When Hao Qingqing negotiated with people in the green forest, he was much more domineering than this, and he had no opinion on this way of negotiating, but he was more strange about Yang Chengzu's attitude.
"Husband, this person has some skills in business, haven't you always said that you want to use talents, why don't you let him be the shopkeeper?"
"Be a shopkeeper. People like him are used to being the owner, how can he come out and work for others? Let him do what I command, and there will definitely be problems in the future. Yang Ji certainly wants talents, but the premise of talents is obedience. I don't want a talented thorn. Qingqing, those gambling halls, Qinglou, how is it, do you have an attitude? Those places are all side businesses, and after they are collected, they are also handed over to the East Factory to do. If they are willing to come and run for it, it is best, if they don't, you bring someone over, lock the door, and set it on fire. This kind of thing, you have a group of people in your hands who are the best at doing it, no problem, right? ”
Hao Qingqing smiled and took out those contracts, "They all sent them early in the morning, these people are very cowardly, scared, and they are willing to do anything." Now they are willing to join our door, and in the future they will pay us the money on a monthly basis. These places, although they have a bad reputation, they still have the ability to make money, so do they really have to hand them over to Dongchang? ”
Among the daughters of the Yang family, Hao Qingqing is not taboo in meat and vegetarians, and these businesses are no different from silk and grain for her, and they are all ways to make money. She doesn't really care about the right and wrong in it.
If it weren't for the status restrictions, she would even be interested in visiting a few gambling halls herself. In the Yang family, it is also easy to cultivate people into a way of thinking that takes interests as the criterion for judging things, and there are some opinions in their hearts about the transfer of these money-making businesses.
Yang Chengzu took her hand and pulled her to his lap, "Dongchang needs to have its own financial resources, and there are many masters with bad reputations in it. Doing these businesses, they are very good on the road. Yang Ji wants to make a lot of money in the future, I can't look down on these small money, and I don't bother to touch these businesses. If you want to make a fortune, I will give you the Zhang family's shop as a private house. ”
"I don't want it, I'm not short of money." Qingqing smiled sweetly, with the favor of her sweetheart, the income is much stronger than the income of money. At this time, a brocade guard at the door walked up and muttered a few words, and soon after, He Zongli, the head arrester of the Criminal Department, appeared in the restaurant.
