Chapter 117: Be open and honest
Faced with the pleading voices one after another, Wang Feng glared angrily and shouted, "Shut up!" The smoke poisons the body, wears out the will, at first glance it is a personal matter, I don't know what to do, I deserve to die in poverty and illness, but the smoke actually destroys the backbone of the whole nation, if the country wants to be rich and strong, and the people want to be self-reliant, we must ban smoking! ”
As he was talking, Wang Feng looked at the refugees again, and said coldly: "Everyone, I am Wang Feng, the second right Xuancheng and the third commander of the right army in the East Hall of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Anyone who secretly possesses or sells one or two large cigarettes, whether Chinese or foreigners, will be shot immediately!
As soon as these words came out, some people's faces suddenly changed greatly, and they didn't smoke a lot, which cost them their lives!
Although Wang Feng's fierce and vicious appearance calmed the scene, no one dared to say more, but there was dissatisfaction in his eyes!
Wang Feng stretched out three fingers and shook them: "I know you want to peel me and cramp, don't you?" I don't care, you can't help me, I tell you, unless you hide in the concession and don't come out, or I catch you, and none of them can escape, below, I will talk to you about business, one is the return of gold and silver treasures, the second is the problem of your homecoming, and the third is the future of Shanghai County, I think everyone will be very concerned! ”
"Boom!" After all, the smokers are only a few, and most people know the danger of crow~~ pieces, and they can avoid it, Wang Feng's smoking ban has nothing to do with them, and these three questions are the real concerns, and for a while, they all put their ears high.
After a short while, Wang Feng turned around and pointed: "Everyone, this pile of treasures belongs to you in theory, as long as you can come up with evidence, such as the purchase of bills, the ancestor's suicide note, or the form system, you can take it, but some people may not be able to take anything, which is very unfair to them, but how to prevent fraud?" Looking at this mess, I also have a headache, I can't tell it, I can't give it to you, right?
Of course, if you have another good way, please put it forward, as long as it is reasonable, we will adopt it as appropriate, and if you really don't claim it, it will also be used in Shanghai, in short, my Taiping Army will never take a penny, please rest assured!
Second, anyone in Shanghai can go back, but there is a premise, men must cut their braids, women are forbidden to bind their feet, these two conditions cannot be changed, when to do it, when to go home, if you can't do it, stay in the concession!
Thirdly, regarding the future of Shanghai, I have reached an agreement with Mr. Bonham and the three consul gentlemen today that the county seat of Shanghai will be handed over to the people of Shanghai to be managed, and the people of Shanghai will elect the Management Committee of the Shanghai County People's Government and the Shanghai County People's Assembly, which will be in charge of industry, agriculture and commerce, foreign trade and urban development, for a tentative term of two years.
Our Taiping Army does not station a single soldier in Shanghai, but it has set up a police organization, recruited and trained policemen among the people of Shanghai, maintained law and order, and mainly focused on banning smoking and anti-narcotics, and at the same time exercising supervisory power in Shanghai County on my behalf.
In addition, in addition to the police, our Taiping Army has also set up an education bureau to focus on science, education, culture, health, and external propaganda work.
Everyone think about it, I will stay in Shanghai for a day or two, everyone is welcome to negotiate with me, now as long as the man cuts off the braids, the woman unties the footcloth, you can go home, and finally I solemnly reiterate that the knife will be a thing of the past, no one will rob your property anymore, you can rest assured and bold to return to the city! ”
In the crowd, there was a loud uproar, and the refugees were arguing in groups, and Hong Xuanjiao couldn't help but ask: "Wang Feng, didn't you claim that you didn't force the people?" Why are coercive measures being taken against Shanghai? ”
Wang Feng patiently explained: "Sister Xuanjiao, we don't garrison troops in Shanghai, if the Shanghainese collude with the Qing court to secretly cause trouble, I am afraid that the limited number of police will not be able to deal with it, so only by cutting the braids and cutting off the back road can we go home, and women are not allowed to bind their feet is a convenient way, so they simply solve the two things together." ”
"Oh~~" Hong Xuanjiao nodded.
Wang Feng looked at Chen Alin again, and said in a deep voice: "Chen Alin, if you join my Taiping Army, there will be no turning back, don't even think about accepting the Qing court's recruitment, I hope you take the lead, mobilize the knife and take the initiative to cut the braids, how about it?" ”
Chen Alin's face turned blue and white for a while, and after a while, he arched his hand, pulled his braid and cut it off, and then walked into the captives with several high-level officials.
Although Chen Alin didn't say anything, he showed his attitude of accepting the status quo with his actions, but he couldn't pull his face for the time being, Wang Feng didn't want to push too hard, moved his satisfied gaze to Zhou Xiuying, and smiled: "Big sister, are you bound to your feet?" You also take the lead and unwrap the footcloth. ”
"Humph!" Zhou Xiuying snorted disdainfully: "Who is bound to the feet?" Keep your eyes open, but don't scare you! ”
Zhou Xiuying kicked off the cloth shoes and kicked her feet forward!
This is a small Longling's right foot, thin and white, pale cyan blood vessels are hidden under the thin skin, and the five toes are round as long as a sucker, which is cute, Wang Feng stared straight at it, looking unscrupulous.
"Shameless!" Zhou Xiuying seemed to think of something, and suddenly blushed, and hurriedly put her feet back into her shoes.
Hong Xuanjiao also sighed secretly, she suddenly realized why Wang Feng teased Zhou Xiuying, it was uncomfortable, her beautiful eyes couldn't help but be full of sympathy, at this time, several people among the refugees came out, so she pointed forward: "Wang Feng, someone is coming, they should be the representatives elected by the people of Shanghai." ”
Five people dressed as gentry walked on, led by a sixty-year-old man, and from a distance, the old man arched his hand: "Old man Xu Maode, first congratulate your army on the adoption of the Little Knife Club and the capture of the county seat of Shanghai." ”
"Well said, well said!" Wang Feng returned the salute and asked, "Why did Elder Xu come?" Can you negotiate the results? ”
Xu Maode said quietly: "The old man was elected by the township, and on behalf of the people, he has some questions to ask the adults, if there is any offense, please forgive the adults." ”
Wang Feng smiled slightly: "The world has a lot of misunderstandings about my Taiping Army, this time I will talk to Xu Laochang happily, hoping to be open and honest, deepen understanding, and finally clear up the misunderstanding. ”
"Well said!" Xu Maode nodded: "My lord is still in charge of the people of Shanghai, although he has created a feat of five thousand years in China, but recently, we have some understanding from foreigners, this should be called democracy, the leader is elected by the people for self-government, if he is incompetent, he will not be elected next time, may I ask the old man if he guessed wrong?" ”
