"Knock knock ......"

Wang Guorui had just decided to send mercenaries out to carry out the order to help the Boers against the British, but the drums immediately sounded outside the door. And this drum sound is obvious, it is made by a special drum, and the sound timbre is very special. And Wang Guorui heard this drum beat, and immediately felt that something big had happened. Because this drum is outside the governor's palace, it is played for those people who have important things. This is a channel that Wang Guorui did for the people, so that the people can beat this drum if they are seriously oppressed. However, in the end, he found out that he had to beat the drum for some trivial things, and Wang Guorui not only would not personally help, but would hold the person who played the drum responsible. Because this drum can definitely be beaten for a big event, otherwise it can't be beaten. So now that someone is beating this drum, there must be something big going on.

"Go and call the drummers!" Wang Guorui said.

Soon, the drummers were brought in, and it turned out that there were quite a few of them. Most of them were dressed in very ordinary clothes, only the one in front of them was dressed more elegantly, but it was only more elegant, not very luxurious. However, these two groups of people are obviously distinct, the group of ordinary people is one group, and the other well-dressed person is the other group. And then, they actually knelt down together.

"Lord Wang, let us call the shots!" The two groups of people said together.

Wang Guorui immediately said: "You guys hurry up, we don't have to kneel in Taiwan anymore." If you have any ideas, we are all high-ranking officials of the Taiwan Governor's Office here, and now we are in a meeting just now, it is better to be in time than to be in time, since you are beating the drum at this time, then we can all give you a comment! ”

Soon. The well-dressed man immediately rushed to say: "Lord Wang, I am Wang Tianlin, the owner of our Taiwan Tianlin Construction Company, and you are my family." And these people actually detained my family and kidnapped them. They kidnapped my family and came to extort money! This is absolute extortion. Please let us call the shots! My two sons, as well as my two wives, were held by them. If Lord Wang slows down, maybe our family will be humiliated! ”

But the people in ordinary clothes next to him immediately said, "Lord Wang, don't listen to him, we just want to get our wages back." We worked hard for three months, working no less than 10 hours a day. And it's all the menial work he does, but he actually owes us three months' wages, and we construction workers rely on these wages to live. But he was in arrears, and we couldn't live anymore. That's why we came up with this strategy and chose this method to ask for wages. Please let the king call the shots for us, and we hope to get our wages back. ”

Next, both sides began to curse each other here, apparently believing that it was the other's fault. Wang Tianlin believed that the workers had kidnapped his family for extortion, while the other group of construction workers also believed that they were trying to get their wages back. So they all quarrel with each other.

And Wang Guorui and the senior Taiwanese officials who left again also heard some flavors, that is, this is actually a typical labor dispute. This boss is in arrears of wages. Then the workers needed wages to survive, and those workers begged for wages to no avail, that is, they chose to obtain wages through this method of detaining Wang Tianlin's family.

And this matter has also caused a sensation outside, but it has not yet reached the Governor's Palace. However, Wang Guorui also roughly understood what was going on, which was nothing more than that the boss was in arrears of wages, and then the workers chose extreme methods to ask for wages. As a result, there was such a farce. This kind of thing also happens from time to time in later generations, and everyone is at fault for both sides. Because the boss is undoubtedly wrong in arrears of wages, but the way those construction workers ask for wages is also really problematic, because this kind of behavior is very extreme, and it also destroys all kinds of economic production order.

"Everyone. You have a dispute, why don't you go to court to resolve it? You must know that our courts are discretionary for people like you with little financial income. Why don't you go to court to settle it? Ouyang Xuan asked.

A migrant worker immediately asked, "Court?" What is a court? ”

"......" Ouyang Xuan was speechless.

Wang Guorui immediately whispered to Ouyang Xuan: "Many people don't have much legal awareness in their hearts, and many of them don't know what the court is. And they all relied on the clan elders in the village to solve the problem, and they came to the city all of a sudden, and they were very unfamiliar with the environment of the city, so they naturally didn't know what the court was. ”

Wang Guorui has also heard of some of these situations in later generations, such as those migrant workers who came to the city, they left their hometowns to work outside, and then once they were owed wages, they did not know where to find who was responsible. Because they don't know much about the city, and they don't have much awareness of lawsuits. I have to say that those officials in ancient China were a bit fucked, and in terms of law enforcement, most people were indeed biased towards those rich people, and the law was also used to oppress the people in their eyes, so ordinary people were naturally at a disadvantage in front of the law. In this way, the people do not believe in the law very much, so that ordinary people do not understand the knowledge of the law, and are even unwilling to use the law to protect their own interests. And they all use their own methods, such as making trouble, or some radical behavior. And the most serious is the rebellion, through which the dynasty is overthrown.

Of course, this is also related to the lack of legal popularization and propaganda, coupled with the cultural aspects of the migrant workers themselves, as well as various social networks, and even their own economic strength are also in a serious disadvantage, belonging to the disadvantaged group, so they are also at a serious disadvantage when fighting against those bosses.

Therefore, they did not know that the court could make decisions for them, and they did not dare to go to the court, because in the past, the government in the feudal era was set up to help the rich oppress the people, and the law was also to rule the people as the purpose, not to maintain social fairness. And those who have just come to Taiwan naturally do not know that this place has changed, and they still subconsciously think that the judiciary here is the same as the Manchu government on the mainland, so they either do not know the court, or they dare not go to the court.

"I understand what you mean. Now, I just want to ask, Wang Tianlin, why are you in arrears of wages? Don't you know that you need to be paid on time? Tell me, why the hell are you in arrears? Wang Guorui said angrily.

Wang Tianlin heard Wang Guorui's words and immediately told the truth. And this truth is actually that he is the boss of the construction industry, he wants to bid for the right to build a building, and he must advance the capital first. Generally speaking, the customer pays a part of the wealth first, and then uses it as the start-up capital to start construction. And then the construction reaches a certain level, and then it will continue to pay for the funds. After the building is built, it will be accepted and all the funds will be transferred to the other party's account. However, it is inevitable that he will have to take out a part of the money to advance, and of course this Wang Tianlin cannot come up with his own money to advance, so he chose to owe the wages of migrant workers and then use it as an advance for development.

"Why don't you go to the bank and choose a loan, if you want to advance money, you can borrow through a mortgage. Then you are not without a method, why do you choose the method of arrears of wages to make up for this advance? Wang Guorui asked again with righteous words.

"This ......" Wang Tianlin was a little speechless.

Wang Guorui immediately snorted coldly again: "Don't think I don't understand your thoughts, because you think that these migrant workers are all from the mainland, and they are all from the countryside, so they are easy to bully, right?" Even if you bully them, then they can't do anything to you. They have no relatives in the city, and they can't do anything to you, the boss. They don't know how to go to the courts, and they don't have high-ranking officials to act as backstage for them, so if you think they are in arrears, they can't do anything. Then, you choose to be behind pay, which is a big benefit over taking out a loan. In addition to the fact that migrant workers are easier to bully than banks with government backgrounds, the main reason is that bank loans require interest, and the interest is not low. If you have to pay interest on the loan, your profits are reduced and your risk is increased. If you choose to default on the wages of migrant workers, not only is the risk much less, but you don't have to pay additional interest, right? ”

And Wang Tianlin immediately had nothing to say, obviously silent, because Wang Guorui had analyzed everything he was thinking in his heart, what else did he have to say?

"You go and give these migrant workers their wages immediately, even if it is a loan." Wang Guorui said.

And Wang Tianlin immediately said: "Yes, yes, I will give it immediately." But what about my family? ”

Wang Guorui thought for a while, and then said: "You go and let their family go, he should pay you now, and he dares not to clean him up for me." However, don't do this kind of excesses in the future. However, you are also gathering crowds to pick quarrels and provoke trouble, and you should be detained for three days. You can go to the detention center for the next three days to study hard, and see if there are any laws that need to be studied. ”

The migrant workers immediately knelt down and said, "Thank you, Lord Wang! Lord Wang is indeed the reincarnation of the blue sky! (To be continued......)
