Chapter Ninety-Five: Wuxi New Deal (2)

Although there was a military government and a military court, at first, everyone did not recognize these two departments.

At present, the military court is relying on the military justice department of the Jingwu Army, and it can be regarded as a local branch of the military justice department of the Jingwu army, and most of the citizens of Wuxi feel that it has little to do with them, so they don't care much, but the military government is different.

Everyone is not stupid, the military government does not have the appointment of the imperial court, but it performs many official functions, on the surface it seems that the power is not small, but the so-called improper name is not good, this institution will inevitably conflict with the government in the future. The Jingwu army is fine here at the moment, and if the time comes, it will be a big joke to pat the ass and leave, leaving the military government alone to face the government.

Therefore, not to mention those Confucian gentry, even those small businessmen are not willing to join this military government at this time, and become any government civil servant.

Everyone thinks that the junta is a scapegoat for the Jingwu army to find in order to facilitate the accumulation of local wealth, and when the time comes, the Jingwu army stays out of the matter and reaps benefits from this junta, but everyone focuses their resentment on the junta, and the people who join the junta will not have good fruit to eat.

As for the police force, this is a temptation, now that the army is in chaos, if there is a strong soldier in hand, it is naturally excellent, but unfortunately if you want to change your own reputation for ruin, then everyone is not happy.

I found that everyone was not happy to join this military government, and Li Yongji was not happy either, is it easy for me to work so hard to do so many things? So he no longer persuaded him, but simply sent cruel words, and asked those businessmen who joined the alliance to forcibly designate a group of people to come out as civil servants in the military government, otherwise don't blame him for being polite!

Li Yongji made cruel remarks, and everyone began to pay attention to it, remembering that Li Yongji was the leader of the troops, reasoning was not people's job, playing brutality was their essence, and reasoning with them was purely uncomfortable, and in the end they could only push out a few unlucky ghosts and become civil servants of this military government.

The office of the military government was chosen in Chong'an Temple, before the invasion of the Taiping army, most of the local monks ran away, and they have not returned, and most of the houses are vacant now, just used as the office of the military government. As for what happens if that group of monks runs back in the future? It's simple, cold salad!

Li Yongji has already inquired, at this time, most of the monks in Chong'an Temple are a group of rotten people who collude with the government to oppress the people, and they will eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, and they are not qualified monks at all, and their reputation is very bad.

The first chief executive of the Wuxi military government was named Su Jianhua, a thin man in his forties, and he was not good-looking, looking at his sad face, Li Yongji felt funny, so he smiled and said: "Old Su, everyone unanimously recommended you to be the chief executive, it seems that you are very popular." ”

As soon as he heard this, Su Jianhua's face immediately became even more bitter: "My lord, don't bury me, where is my popularity, everyone purely sees that I am soft and easy to bully, and I am alone, so there is no drag, so I am asked to be this substitute...... No, no, no, I mean, if you have any orders, I will do it. ”

"Hehe, I understand." Li Yongji walked a few steps and patted him on the shoulder, "Don't worry about doing it boldly, with the support of my elite army, don't be afraid of that." Now they don't look down on this position, and later, they will be envious and jealous of you. ”

"Forget about envy and jealousy, if you don't hate me, you can burn high incense." Su Jianhua smiled bitterly and shook his head, "In short, if you have any instructions, my lord, I will try my best to do it, I just hope that you can see my hard work and obedience at that time, pull me when you leave, take me with you, don't just throw me away as an outcast." ”

The first thing the military government had to do after its establishment was to organize a manpower to check the household registration, that is, to hold a census of the entire city of Wuxi in the name of strictly investigating spies.

To put it simply, it is to put up notices everywhere and send people to beat gongs and drums to publicize that everyone should go to the military government's yamen to re-register their household registration within the specified time.

Locals in Wuxi will be issued a household registration book to the head of the household, and each person in the household will also be issued an ID card, and a temporary residence permit will be issued to outsiders who come to Wuxi to do business and work.

These ID cards and temporary residence permits must be carefully kept, and once they are lost, they must be reissued by the military government, otherwise when the elite military forces carry out a large-scale search of the whole city in the future, anyone who does not have an ID card and a temporary residence permit will be arrested and severely tortured.

In addition to this threat, there is also an inducement, that is, Li Yongji ordered that in order to prevent bandits, the Jingwu army intends to build a large-scale militarized fortress on the outskirts of Wuxi, which requires a large number of civilian workers, as long as those who are willing to work, can register with the military government with their ID cards.

Once registered, you can become a hired worker of the Jingwu Army, go to work for the Jingwu Army, and the hired workers who work can eat and live, and they can go home to see once every seven days, and they can get a salary of half a tael of silver every month.

Considering that the impact of the hired workers going out to work as a trade union on their own families, in order to make compensation, all the families who work for the Jingwu Army will be protected by the Jingwu Army, and once the family members have an accident during the work of the hired workers, they can go to the military government for help, or they can go to the military court to appeal and file a lawsuit, and the Jingwu Army will defend it to the end.

At the same time, families whose families have people working for the elite military can also go to the military government to buy special grain with their household registration booklets, ID cards, and copies of employment labor contracts.

This so-called special grain refers to the ultra-low price of 15 yuan per liter of rice, each person is limited to 100 liters of rice per month, not only adults, even children, but also according to this level, provided that someone in the family works for the elite army.

Li Yongji had already found someone to calculate, at this time, the standard one liter of rice is about 0.63 kilograms of rice, and 100 liters a month for one person is 63 kilograms of rice, which is equivalent to 2.1 kilograms of rice to eat a day according to the calculation of 30 days in a month, which is more than enough for ordinary people to fill their stomachs at this time.

Now in the market in Wuxi, the price of grain has reached the price of 40 wen a liter of rice, and Li Yongji is engaged in a limited amount of grain of 15 wen yuan a liter of rice, which is definitely a moral policy, even if this is the case, the common people will rush to register their household registration.

You know, that's 100 liters of rice per person per month, buy it, save some food, and sell the excess for money, what a good thing.

With this, those grain merchants who hoarded Juqi were miserable, because they couldn't sell it at all, no matter how much they lowered the price, it was impossible to sell it at 15 yuan a liter of rice, and the cost would not come back.

Li Yongji dared to do this, also because he had just swallowed the grain depot of Suzhou Prefecture, which would be enough to support it in at least two years, and after two years, his high-yield rice would have been promoted locally, so he was naturally not afraid of not having enough food.

In fact, this is to cultivate the working class, but at the beginning, it was just in the form of organizing people or long-term workers, so that the locals in Wuxi are more acceptable, and as long as they continue this preferential policy in the future, when they taste the sweetness of work, they will not be willing to give up these benefits, and will continue to work for Li Yongji.

Not to mention, in this way, in addition to those large families, the middle and lower class people in Wuxi are enthusiastic to sign up, usually here to apply for a household registration book and ID card, and there to ask to be an employee of the elite army.

Although large families will not sign contracts as employees, in order to prevent being arrested, they still go to the honest registration and get a household registration book and ID card.

Facts have proved that coercion and inducement are the most effective, and in this way, there is no need to knock on the door from door to door, and the people themselves come to ask for registration. After recruiting a large number of account staff, it only took ten days, that is, less than two weeks, to complete the census activities in Wuxi City, and after a summary, it was found that there were 380,000 people in a small Wuxi city!

This is the people in the city of Wuxi, not including the suburbs outside the city and people from other counties, strictly speaking, it is only the population of a county, no wonder it is said that the Jiangnan area is densely populated, looking at this population density, if other places are similar, then the entire Wuxi area is estimated to be less than two million people.

Among the 380,000 people, there are as many as 60,000 people who have signed labor contracts, and almost all the young and strong people in Wuxi have been wiped out, and most of them are going for cheap grain, not entirely for money.

You must know that Wuxi has always been wealthy, and most of the people in the city are workers, usually weavers or other dock workers or craftsmen, and most of the real farmers live outside the city.

These people usually work in the city, and on average, they have to earn at least one tael of silver a month, and half a tael of silver, even if they include food and housing, to be honest, it is not very attractive. However, Wuxi is currently short of grain, grain prices remain high, if according to the work for the elite army, the family can receive cheap grain, it is very suitable, even if you don't sell money, save some food and save it, you can also increase the ability to resist risks.

Most of the people in the city of Wuxi have read some books, and they know a lot about things outside, and they know that it is not peaceful now, and in troubled times, it is better to have money than food, so Li Yongji's cheap grain policy just hit their weakness.

At present, there is no ready-made factory for them to work in, so Li Yongji organized them according to the military system and sent them to Lihu Lake, that is, on the edge of Wuli Lake, which is roughly equivalent to the vicinity of the Binhu District Government in later generations, to build roads and open up wasteland, cut down trees and blast stones, open kilns and burn bricks, and also set up cement factories and lime factories, and organize manpower to build infrastructure.

Li Yongji plans to regard this as the first emerging industrial zone in Wuxi, use the manpower here and the facilities of modern society, first build a five-way and one level, and wait for the infrastructure of the industrial zone to be completed, and then gradually build factories and family buildings, and build a real industrial zone!

Of course, the people of the military government are responsible for organizing these people to work, and Li Yongji is only responsible for providing goods and materials and supervising the accounts, and in addition, he sends a platoon of soldiers in turn to show the display and save in the past to support the military government's clerks, and as for the main force of the Jingwu Army, as well as those recruits recruited before, they are basically busy doing closed training in the temporary military camp.

However, others don't know that Li Yongji is planning to build an industrial zone, especially Li Xiucheng, who has been paying attention to this place, and when he found out that Li Yongji had actually set up a strict household registration system in Wuxi, and also organized more than 60,000 strong men to come out to work, and there seemed to be no shortage of grain and grass, he was immediately shocked, thinking that this was to accumulate strength to prepare for the expedition, so he no longer hesitated, and quickly sent a liaison envoy over.
