Chapter 100: The Enlightenment of the Family (Part II)
It is not only the children of this family who feel the changes around them, but also the families of the merchant family who feel more deeply.
They suddenly found that their goods appeared in Bingzhou, but these goods were obviously not made in their own workshops, strictly speaking, they were a batch of counterfeit and shoddy products in their name.
"Don't you have an anti-piracy law? Why didn't they stop their piracy? At that time, the steward of the caravan approached the government department to complain.
Because of the relationship between those counterfeit and shoddy products, their goods are already notorious in the state. The worst thing is that there are such situations in the surrounding areas such as Youzhou, Qingzhou and Yanzhou, so that their goods cannot be sold except in Jizhou.
The consumer market in a state is easily saturated, not to mention who knows when this kind of thing will appear in Jizhou. Therefore, it must be strictly investigated, otherwise there is no need to do business again.
"Your product is not registered as a product, so it is not protected. In fact, if they register trademarks, at least in the two places of Bingzhou and Youzhou Daijun, you will be counterfeit and shoddy, and your products will be punished. The people from the Patent Office and the Trademark Office replied.
"Is it okay for us to register trademarks and patents?" The steward immediately asked.
"Welcome to register, but I must regret to tell you that we can manage the counterfeit and shoddy products of the state and the county, but we are not qualified to manage the Jizhou. After all, these laws are not implemented in Jizhou, and the most important thing is that there are no relevant regulations in Hanlu that say that this is illegal.
For example, your Zhao Silk, others can also claim to be Zhao Silk, just because the shopkeeper's surname is Zhao. Of course, you can also sell something similar to Li's silk and Xie's silk, but Hanlu has not made clear provisions to prohibit this kind of behavior. The departments replied.
"It's okay, we can handle the affairs of Jizhou by ourselves, what I need is to merge the state and Dai County not to have this situation!" The businessman said proudly, as if he was the second oldest in the world, he was the third.
So, for the rest of the time, he finally registered trademarks and patents in Bingzhou, and then returned to Jizhou.
What should I do to deal with local counterfeiting? It's not simple. You just need to find the county order or Taishou to drink tea, and then let them give a policy. For this reason, they also prepared a big gift, but Taishou and the state assassin Shi actually did not accept their gifts, and only gave an answer: "The Han law does not stipulate that this is illegal." So it can't be banned. ”
Yes, it's that simple. Both Assassin Shi and Taishou were arranged by Fang Yun, mainly because the person recommended by Jizhou did not have enough resume, so he was given the Assassin Shi Taishou at once, not to mention that others were unwilling. Just said that they couldn't help but doubt Fang Yun's intentions.
The question is, the local government Fang Yun almost gives them their own handling, so how to ensure that there will be no chaos here?
To put it bluntly, it's just four words, and that is 'acting according to law'. To put it bluntly, it is to strictly abide by the Chinese law to manage here. This is not to say, after all, at the end of the Han Dynasty, Han law was already like a piece of waste paper. The law can only be used when the strong are molesting the weak, and this last fig leaf on the weak has long been torn off by the strong.
Since it is done in accordance with the law, the Natural Supervision Bureau will also be set up here, in fact, according to Fang Yun. This is the history of the place. Their primary responsibility is to ensure that the Chinese law is just and effective.
Taishou and Thorn Shi had already been warned by Fang Yun, and some of them had been killed for corruption and dereliction of duty, so they naturally knew what to do. Besides, Fang Yun's salary is also very generous, and their family's business has also given a lot of preferential policies, so naturally no one is so brain-dead to spoil a big thing for some small money.
Since Taishou and Thorn Shi can't do it, then find an adjutant or a county order! In fact, most of these are really recommended by the scholars below, and they also have roots in the local area, so they can't withstand the bombardment of that favor.
Many people silently helped them deal with the counterfeit and shoddy products. However, within a few days, the Inspectorate came to their door and invited them to tea. As a result, Jizhou Sima, Beijia and even more than a dozen subordinate county orders were all replaced. Either he was transferred to some remote county seat to serve as a county magistrate, or he was directly dismissed.
What's worse is that at least a dozen county orders have been directly beheaded because of serious corruption and bribery. Confiscation of family property. Not only that, but they also announced their specific embezzlement process, the amount of money, and the things they did for other families, and the big men knew about it as the newspaper spread.
This is an era of heavy reputation, and it is unfortunate that Fang Yun just happened to control the power of public opinion.
He mercilessly reported the sins committed by these people, and even published his resume. What do others think? Why is this not the case in the state, whether it has been in office for a while or for a long time, it seems that this is not the case.
Seeing these tall guys actually doing so many angry things behind their backs, their deaths made the people rarely happy. Nowadays, there is a lack of entertainment, and the people naturally like to see this kind of behavior.
The question is, is this really not the case in the state? Of course there are!
But everything is done in stealth, and then the government will tell the media that it is not allowed to write about them. In this way, in the eyes of outsiders, it is the cleanest place in the world, where corruption and malfeasance are almost non-existent.
There is a comparison, but it makes those officials in Jizhou look even more ugly.
Even with them, the family to which they belong has also been hit hard, and sometimes before dawn they will find that a lot of filth has been splashed on the gate. It's just that due to the imperfection of the organization, the efficiency of law enforcement is very low, and in fact, even if they replace all the officials with their people, there is no way to stop the 'small group of people' who are already dissatisfied with the family.
Of course, they can torture them to extract confessions, but they will find that the next day the newspaper has a special report on it. The newspaper was sold in Jinyang, mainly through enthusiastic people who brought it to Jizhou for sale. Therefore, Lord Assassin Shi will not ban this newspaper, after all, Jinyang did not say anything wrong with the content of this newspaper.
The result was normal, the little official was besieged by the masses as soon as he went out, and his life and death were unknown, and then he had to be dismissed, and the case was retried.
It's just that since everyone else has been wronged, it is natural that you have to wipe your ass clean, otherwise the government's face will also be lost. The worst thing is that I can't say that this official has to be replaced again.
Now in Jizhou, officials are beginning to not know how to be officials. I'm afraid that if I say it, I'll laugh off other people's big teeth.
The most heartbreaking thing about the family is those original friends, who came back in Bingzhou and brought back a lot of gifts. Then there are some policies on what Jinyang has seen and heard. Showing them off in a subtle way; Then he vaguely said how chaotic Jizhou is, how bad the order is, and how depressed the market is.
Looking at the family with similar conditions to himself before, it is not now that his children and grandchildren have entered school. It's a master. Otherwise, how much money is made in industry and commerce. Although they are all some stuff, they can't help but admit it, and it's really not good to be missing.
Just look at the fact that they are wearing gold and silver now, they are not magnificent, but they are still as shabby as before, not to mention two meals a day, and they can't eat meat a few times a month, and the days can't be compared.
It was even worse when I returned to the room, the wives and concubines at home were given a lot of gifts by others during the day, and the pillow wind at night was constant. I was in a bad mood, but now it's really bad. It did not escalate directly into domestic violence. That's what they are good at.
After a while, they found that there seemed to be fewer tenants in their homes, and many of them quit. The willingness is very simple, they have to go to Jinyang, where even if they don't farm, they can earn a lot of wages by working. Fang Yun stipulated that the working hours should not exceed five hours a day, and he also stipulated that he must take one day off every six days.
The most important thing is that the salary is good, and it is more cost-effective than farming. The land is not theirs in the first place, so giving up is also giving up. What's more important is when the green and yellow are not connected. There was a lot of grain brought there, a lot of corn and potatoes that they had never seen before, but very cheap corn and potatoes, and of course the taste was not bad. In particular, potatoes are also vegetables and rice, and the people like them very much.
The large amount of grain input has made Jizhou's own grain unable to sell at a high price, not to mention that the government has just announced that the future tax will not be levied on grain, but directly on money. Other words. They had to sell their grain for money before they could pay their taxes.
But if the grain can't be sold, how much money do they have to pay for taxes? How much money do they have left after paying their taxes? Everyone has a business book in their hearts, and when they find that they can earn more money from work than from ploughing, they will naturally know how to choose.
Not to mention, others have a perfect education system and perfect cultural facilities, and I can't say that my son will be able to learn some achievements in the future, and then become an official or something, then it will really be a glorious ancestor.
This thing is supposed to be a quick hand, so the people naturally quit and leave, and they want to go to the state to make a living no matter what.
And the family has thousands of hectares of fertile land, but no one has cultivated it for them, so what's the point? To make matters worse, the government has ordered that if it is sold within two years, the land will be repossessed by the government at the base price.
After all, land has always been a very precious resource, especially arable land. It is impossible for the state to allow arable land to be abandoned for a long time, so if such a situation occurs, it is necessary for the state to reclaim it, even if it already belongs to someone else.
As for others will complain, then why don't you find tenants to cultivate?
Yes, the families have understood, it turns out that if you are backward, you will be punished, and you will be beaten! They may not have lived through those times, but they understand it!
A small number of families have begun to contact the government and are willing to give up preferential treatment and assimilate in advance.
Then the newspapers began to announce the news, and even the common people began to demand an early end to one country, two systems and early assimilation.
In the end, the family in Jizhou compromised, and they chose to assimilate! As a result, the one country, two systems, which had been maintained for less than half a year, began to be abolished under the consciousness of the family. During this time, Fang Yun has also completed the accumulation of materials and funds, and can start rectification and governance in phases for these new sites in Jizhou.
And when Fang Yun read this week's newspaper, he couldn't help but sigh:
If Hong Kong and Macao were the mainland, and the mainland was Hong Kong and Macao, then I am afraid that there would be no need for one country, two systems, and there would have been direct integration in the year of the return. Of course, Fang Yun refers to the degree of prosperity and sophistication...... (To be continued.) )
PS: The assimilation of Jizhou began, and it was really effortless.
