Chapter 172: Set sail and sail away
In the Kangxi era, Foshan did not have a separate yamen control, only under the jurisdiction of Nanhai County, and even the inspection department was not set up. The prosperity of a large town of two or three hundred thousand people almost catches up with that of Guangzhou, which is a bit strange. The reason why the Qing court did not pay much attention was because Foshan has always been submissive, the management and the people have a set of "rules" in self-discipline, and at the same time, they have been strictly controlled by the supervision and supervision of industry and commerce, so they do not want to do much.
Such a situation is what Li Shi does not want to see, not to mention that Foshan's set of "rules" is not only xenophobic, but also refuses to change. The direct passage of Foshan industry and commerce to the governor is not conducive to the development of his career. Therefore, he had to do what Yongzheng did in advance after he came to power, that is, to put a trap on Foshan, ostensibly to strengthen supervision, but in fact to facilitate his control. After all, he couldn't directly say to the governor of Liangguang and the governor of Guangdong that Foshan belonged to him, but if he said this to the magistrate who only squatted in Foshan, it would be targeted. In this way, he can not only coerce the power of the government to pressure Foshan to change the "rules", but also cut the supervision power of Foshan industry and commerce from the hands of the governor.
The specific thing to be done is very simple, to prove that the proprietors of Foshan industry and commerce have the ability to incite the grass people to make a big disturbance, and in fact they have also made a big disturbance, which is the most taboo point of the Manchu government. The overnight turmoil in Foshan was convincing.
Without the efforts of Ji Heizi and the proprietors of the Iron Line, Li Shi would have to rely on actions such as cleaning up the armor to provoke trouble, but Ji Heizi did him a big favor. Before he came to Foshan, he had already made official preparations, and borrowed his inspection post in Yingde to Nanhai County to act as the agent of the long-vacant canonical history. and then got permission from Li Zhushou to let him carry out the "Foshan Social Security Rectification Special Action", and Ji Heizi transferred the standard people to clean up his methods, but they were also disturbed by this matter, and it was such a big mess, and several goals were all achieved.
Not to mention the Ji Heizi who has been disposed of, what Li Shi has to do now is to write a good document, in the capacity of the Nanhai County Classics, to report the cause of this chaos to the Nanhai County and Guangzhou Prefect, there is a rebellion, the annihilation of businessmen should be peaceful, Foshan local martial arts halls are numerous, 10,000 people can gather in an instant, for the disaster is a lot, so ...... "petition the county government to show the ruling, Foshan, countless warriors, businessmen gathered, there is no patrol inspection here. In this rebellion, if it is not for the lowly job to ask for help from Qingpu Wharf, the urgent fast Ban Ding Zhuang bullet pressure, and the superintendent Deng Wu also arrived in time, I am afraid that the city has been reduced to ashes. Humble and frightened, it is difficult to predict whether there will be such a mess in the future, and if it is not cleaned up at that time, it will be difficult to ensure unspeakable disaster. ”
The Iron Guild Hall is still the same hall, and after Li Shi finished reading the official document he was going to submit, the proprietors of the Iron Guild were all colorless.
Li ...... Canonical history, this can't be helped! To welcome a few officials, our Foshan industry and commerce will be sad! ”
Liang Huan knelt down first, his head pounded, and the other proprietors also knelt down. Li Xi is just a small canonical history, and these proprietors can talk to the governor directly, so they can not care about this threat. But the problem is that they really started the chaos yesterday, and they never dared to directly intercede with the governor, otherwise they would not even have a chance to maneuver after a strict investigation.
As for Ji Heizi's Li Xu's family, there has been no news since the chaos, and the shopkeeper of Sanye Hall is still looking around, and almost everyone is about to find crazy and has not yet disappeared, and there is a spirit awake who secretly looked at Li Xu with a sneer, and his heart is estimated to be this Li Beijiang cleaned up. In this situation, no one dares to mention Ji Heizi again, if this Li Shi delves into the root cause of this chaos, they will not be able to please them. Those martial arts halls that came out to make trouble, they all made noise. Foshan burned down dozens of houses overnight and injured hundreds of people, and they were the masterminds behind it. This matter went up to the official yamen, and the beheading could not be reached, so the house was raided and exiled, and it could be next to each other if it was pulled out.
"I, Li Xian, act impartially, this official document must be submitted, otherwise how can it be regarded as this classic history? As for whether you are sad or not......"
Li Shi snorted.
"As long as you enter the Fogang Company, you are still waiting for you. Of course, if anyone still disagrees with me, I will have to settle the account of the Foshan rebellion this time! ”
Hearing Li Shi's words, the proprietors of Tiexing were stunned, and said in their hearts that this Li Shi was waiting for them here.
Thinking about it carefully, since Li Shi wants to open a "Foshan Iron and Steel Company" here, then even if he sets up an official yamen in Foshan, Li Xi will help take care of it, otherwise his own business will not be good, and the proprietors of the iron industry think about it again and again, and finally reluctantly "give in". Before the "Foshan Iron and Steel Company" was established, there were already forty or fifty proprietors of iron shops who recognized their shares and divided out craftsmen.
"Li Dianshi, the Liang family's garden is not worth three thousand taels, thirty taels is enough......"
Liang Huan hurriedly offered his sincerity, and Li Huan glanced at him and accepted it with a smile. Since it is a wall grass, why do you have to break it, it is better to use it for yourself.
"Shang Jun, you will report directly to Yu Hanyi in the future, and you will take over the booth of the special service team first."
Li Shi has gained a lot in Foshan, and this Shang Jun was implicated in the previous Fan Jin incident, and was exiled to Panyu County, Qiongzhou. In this operation, Luo Tangyuan, who took the original group of fast brothers and cooperated with the special service team to solve Ji Heizi, the weight of the name is not light, and it is worthy of his expectation that he will secretly fish them out from Qiongzhou.
"General Secretary Xie trusts, our brothers, just follow the road of General Secretary to the dark, and see what the situation is!"
Sangjun replied in a deep voice.
The next person is Cai Fei of Yinguangtang, he helped Li Shi to stir up the situation that night, causing chaos in Foshan, and now he still doesn't understand what Li Shi's intentions are, so Li Shi is not ready to include Cai Fei in the core system, and first put it in Foshan to continue to exert residual heat.
"Foshan Iron and Steel Company is about to open, and it will give you and your apprentices a job, and your Yinguangtang will continue to open. The only thing to do is to watch the masters who have a heart for me. ”
Hearing Li Shi's arrangement, Cai Fei responded with some bitterness, this is to be the eagle dog of the imperial court, but there is no way, now he is already a "traitor" of the Foshan people, and he can only follow Li Shi to the black. If you think about it carefully, you and your apprentices have a good future, why should you think so much if you go to a high place.
"Let's ...... Go home! ”
After taking care of the big things, Peng Xianzhong of Foshan Iron and Steel Company continued to come forward, and Li Xian beckoned everyone to retreat, in an unfamiliar environment in the past few days, his brain was running rapidly, and he was really tired.
"Okay! This place is really noisy, or our house is clean! ”
Yan Sanniang was happy, looking at the girl's red face, Li Xianxin said that he had forgotten one gain, that is, ...... "Come, reward one!" ”
Seeing that everyone was dispersed to prepare, Li Shi pointed to his mouth and beckoned to Yan Sanniang.
"Where are you that big...... Addiction!? ”
The girl's cheeks were red, she wanted to escape but didn't move, and when she was taken into Li Shi's arms, she sighed, and her arms wrapped around Li Shi's neck no matter how familiar she was, and she let her fragrance be picked by Li Shi, and it seemed that there was someone else who was addicted.
Li Shi was full of harvest, and the aftermath of the overnight chaos in Foshan gradually unfolded. Li Zhushou's inscription went to the governor, and the governor also got involved. Although he didn't think through the joints for a while, the governor agreed with Li Zhushou's proposal. Foshan really lacks governance, and thousands of people gathered overnight, burning almost the entire town. Foshan can no longer be as "free and casual" as before.
At the beginning of the fifty-third year of Kangxi's reign, the court quickly approved the inscription of the governor of Guangdong, and Kangxi's two Zhu criticism characters were very eye-catching: "quasi-playing". Since this year, Foshan has been set up by the Guangzhou Prefecture to pass the judgment, Nanhai County has set up the Wudingkou Inspection Division, by the Fubiao to set up the Foshan City Xun, and the Supervision Standard has set up the Division of Defense.
At this time, it was only the establishment of the yamen, and the finalization of the candidates for each function was still in the process. Just before the arrival of these new officials, a young man who was always smiling and a half-old man whose eyes turned faster than abacus beads, the two came to Foshan together. One by one, he visited the principals of the guilds in Foshan, and when they met, the young man called himself Qingtian Xiao Xie, and the half-old man said that he was Qingtian Laoxiang.
"Our general director said that if you want not to be oppressed by the new official, in addition to his help and care, you have to work hard yourself, and we can serve specific things."
Both of them said this with a slight smile, behind them, the gongs and drums were noisy, and there was an endless stream of teams of green lions, Foshan seemed to be the same Foshan, but the rules had changed.
This is a month later, before Xiao Xie and Lao Xiang were in Yingde Li Zhuang New Year's Festival, Kangxi 53 years of the New Year's Festival, Li Xi recruited his subordinates to return to Li Zhuang and held a lively meeting, so that everyone thought that Li Xi was going to prepare for something.
The plenary meeting was held on the small long building in the center of Li Zhuang's inner fort, and Guan Fengsheng expressed everyone's questions while Li Shi had not yet stepped onto the podium.
"No, no, I'm happy about another thing, as for what Uncle Guan said...... Wait another year or two, Guan Xuan's age is not enough. ”
Li Shi's answer made Guan Fengsheng a little puzzled, how did your marriage with Yan Sanniang get involved with Guan Xuan?
He wanted to ask again, but Tian Dayou happily grabbed him, and said in his ear: "What the fourth brother wants is to marry several together, and when the time comes, regardless of size......
"How does this work! There are no rules at all! Guan Fengsheng took a sip, but vaguely felt that this was the most ideal.
I don't know what Guan Tian and the others are calculating, Li Shi is simply happy, his Beijiang boat line, and built his first batch of boats, sea boats, before the New Year's Festival. Coupled with the smooth strategy of Foshan, his rebellion can enter the next stage.
"After the New Year, after the placement is complete, I will give the things to Xiao Sheng."
Before taking the stage, Li Xi explained to Han Yi again, Xiao Sheng was busy patrolling the sea this year and had no way to come back.
"Hello uncles, folks, everyone......"
On the podium, looking at the dozens of deacon-level backbones of Qingtian Company below, Li Xian just greeted him, and he ushered in warm applause and cheers.
"Now, join me in reviewing this year's harvest and then looking ahead to our goals for the new year."
As Li Xi spoke, every backbone listened attentively, and each of them had the expectations of dozens of people under them, how many bonuses they could get this year, and how much room for promotion and salary increase they would have in the coming year. And those subordinates, each of them is the hope of dozens or even hundreds of people. Qingtian Company has now integrated the expectations and sustenance of tens of thousands of people. In the past two years, the government has almost been cut off from them, whether it is life, or work, whether it is hard work, or joyful harvest, and it has nothing to do with any government. Qingtian Company is their world.
"All in all, if you want to keep the current situation and earn a better job, you have to keep up with the company's ......."
Li Xian said in a deep voice, and everyone nodded heavily in agreement.
"This year, we're going to be ready to bleed!"
Not long after, in the Siwei camp at the foot of Jiguan Mountain, Li Xi said this to hundreds of Siwei, everyone was short of breath, nervous, and more expectant.
"If we shed a drop of blood, the enemy will shed a vat of blood!"
Then Li Shi added such a sentence, and everyone laughed loudly and proudly, of course. Bloodshed is inevitable in war, but it would be extremely costly to let them bleed.
"The sails are up, and now we're ready to sail."
Li Xian said this leisurely, and his eyes turned to the southeast.
