Section 25: Supervision

And a new hand was raised.

"Silence!" There was a loud shout from behind, and then Chairman Liu's polite voice came, "Lord Guogong, there is something wrong with the villain." ”

"President Liu, don't do this, if the people below don't violate the rules, don't stop them from questioning."

"It's not early today, the last two questions." Huang Shi raised his voice and said, "Then you might as well go back and drink tea and eat something first, the coming day is long, and we still have time." ”

A lucky one was picked.

"Lord Guogong, you said that as long as you sit in this position. What about you...... In case you retire, ......"

"What is this doctor's surname?"

"His surname is Li." Liu Chang reminded behind his back.

"Despicable surname Li."

"Dr. Li, please take a seat." Every time, Huang Shi politely waited for the questioner to sit down before he could answer with all his faces: "Since ancient times, kings and scholars have shared the world, and His Majesty is benevolent and willing to share the world with all the people." Moreover, His Majesty has decreed that I have countersigned, and this provincial court will never be closed once it is opened. Huang Shi pondered for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "This is the beginning of ***." ”

"What's ***?" Chairman Liu became more and more unbreathable, and he didn't get a chance to ask a question today.

"One more question!" Huang Shi stared at the forest of arms in front of him, and finally picked out one of his old friends: "Doctor Zhu, excuse me." ”

"Guogong ......" Zhu Jiu got another opportunity to ask a question, and he just stood up to ask a question.

I heard President Liu shout, this is towards Zhu Jiu instead of Huang Shi: "What is ***?" ”

Huang Shi glanced back at President Liu: "President Liu, please be quiet. ”

Turned to look at Zhu Jiu: "Doctor Zhu, excuse me." ”

Zhu Jiu looked at Liu Chang, who leaned over from the table and stared at him tightly, and pressed down the question he wanted to ask: "Dare to ask Guogong, what is ***?" ”

"In a word, *** is to believe that the government should be supervised." Huang Shi pondered for a moment and decided to play two more sentences: "Most of the gentlemen here are bosses now, and most of them have been buddies before. So I think you can understand that when the boss is standing behind him, it is often the time when the guy is the most diligent, and at this time, he can't blatantly rub oil into his pocket. And none of the guys want the boss to stand behind them, and they have a lot of sayings, such as, 'I'm diligent and willing to work, and the boss doesn't supervise.'" Or: 'The boss doesn't trust me so much, it makes me feel bad' and 'We can self-monitor' and so on, all of which I guess used when you were your buddies." ”

Yellowstone's words caused some laughter.

"But when you become the boss, you will still supervise, the closer you stare at the guys, the less you dare to be lazy, the more you can't rub the boss's oil, the boss has the right to supervise the guys, remove those who rub oil and are lazy, this is not only the way to govern, but also the right of the bosses. His Majesty wants to share the world with all the people, and all the kings and all the people in the world will be the shareholders and bosses of the country in the future, and the government is the man, and the government is the superintendent, and it cannot prevent the man from rubbing oil and being lazy, but it can be better than not supervising. Your Majesty, it is also the right of all kings and all the people of the world. ”

"Alright, that's all for today." Huang Shi announced, "There will be no meeting tomorrow, I originally wanted to register the names of all the doctors immediately, but it seems that no one has come today," Huang Shi pointed to the empty chairs and said, "This hall has prepared one hundred and fifty-one chairs for all doctors, which is exactly the same as the number of members of the Fujian Provincial Council." ”

President Liu's chair was in the most conspicuous position, and the other one hundred and fifty were a whole: "The meeting will be adjourned for three days, and after three days, the names of the doctors will be officially registered, and the princes will officially have immunity and the right to enter this hall." Three days later, the Fujian Provincial Secretary of the Yuan was officially opened, and it will never be closed. ”

"Qi Gong Rende." Many people praised the world: "I wish to share the world with all the peoples, unheard of." ”

"It is the benevolence of His Majesty the Prison State." Yellowstone Correction.

"Duke Qi," there was a low voice from Chairman Liu behind him, "Do you old man really think that we believe that a three-year-old child will make a holy decree?" ”

Huang Shi smiled slightly and walked out of the hall with his head held high.

Three days later, when the Provincial Council was officially convened, the hall was full of seats early, and almost all the council members arrived, and one who was seriously ill and couldn't make it in time for his eldest son to come to the meeting, but although Huang Shi agreed that this person could register for his father, he did not have the right to enter the meeting.

President Liu sat on the dean's chair with a spring breeze on his face, his friends looked at him enviously, and today Zhu Jiu wanted to go to that chair to make a while and use that piece of shocking wood, but was unceremoniously rejected by President Liu: "This is the important task given to me by the national bus." ”

"Before reporting my other actions to the doctors, I must first explain the problem of the case of the princes collaborating with the enemy, which will be resolved sooner or later." Huang Shi asked people to put the guilt of each merchant in the hands of the parties, and he didn't want the businessmen to still worry or Shunjun still have the handle to blackmail the Fujian and Guangdong merchants: "I guess there are true and false in it, but as Cao Cao said in Guandu in the past, when Yuan Shao was powerful, he himself was worried and uneasy, not to mention others?" His Majesty's imprisonment of the country is also subject to amnesty, and this amnesty is not a generalization, but before today, all crimes of obedience, embezzlement, and bribery are pardoned, and other crimes such as murder are not pardoned. Like Cao Cao's actions that day, this pardon does not need to be confessed and then pardoned, even if there has been a previous act of collaborating with the enemy, as long as it is not committed after today, it is not guilty, and the government will no longer pay attention to any suspected cases of collaborating with the enemy earlier than today. Everyone can keep it secret, and even if it is accidentally leaked in the future, it will not be investigated, even if Shunjun reports it to the government, as long as the date of occurrence is before today, the government will treat it as defamation and will not pursue it. ”

After the amnesty was announced, Huang Shi began to recount his plan of action, and he did not mention specific military deployments, but told the participants that he intended to allocate another sum of money to eastern Zhejiang, as well as northern Huguang.

"The country can't, there is a bottomless pit in eastern Zhejiang!" Liu Changcai shouted at the beginning of the hearing, he also had business in eastern Zhejiang, and he had been keeping a close eye on the local military situation.

However, Liu Chang was not the only one who shouted, and many other people also shouted.

After Huang Shi signaled Liu Chang to maintain order, he gave up his podium to a maritime merchant who shouted the most excitedly: "Didn't the handbook issued to the doctor say that in this hall, only those who stood behind this podium could speak, and others could only ask questions?" ”

When ordering the doctor to come forward and tell what he knew, Huang Shi stepped aside and sat on the chair prepared for the officials and listened carefully, the businessman had been doing business in Fujian and Zhejiang all these years, and he didn't dare to scold Huang Naiming, nor did he dare to scold Zhao Slowxiong, a famous confidant of the Duke of Qi, so he poured black water on their generals.

After scolding excitedly for a while, the doctor followed the rules in the manual and asked, "Who has the problem?" ”

Huang Shi also raised his hand to ask a few questions, but he immediately found that the doctor's attention was all on himself, so he no longer raised his hand to give the opportunity to ask questions to others, and a few people who did not know much about the military situation asked a few questions according to the content of the imperial court report, the doctor became impatient, pointed to a friend of his and shouted: "Boss Shen still has a timber mill in Hangzhou, he only made up and fled back to Fujian after the fall of Hangzhou, it would be good if you asked him." ”

The man who witnessed the fall of Hangzhou described the Shun army he saw, and from his description it sounded that the losses of the Shun army were minimal, and it seemed unlikely that they would be held back by the Ming army in eastern Zhejiang.

After listening to a large group of people chattering about what they had seen and heard, and the sources of information, he came to the stage and said that he would give Huguang several battle rewards.

"Lord Guogong, the villain actually knows this matter very clearly." Last month, Liu Chang also had a caravan led by his henchmen to Jiangxi and southern Huguang to buy grain, and after he came back, he told the owner about the local situation vividly, and after hearing Huangshi talk about the battle situation in Huguang, Liu Chang immediately felt that the opportunity to perform had arrived.

Huang Shi still smiled and dispelled President Liu's thoughts: "Speaker, you just need to maintain order when you sit in this position." ”

……

Huangshi stipulated that the Fujian Provincial Secretary House could adjourn for three days a month, but the doctors said in a righteous and stern manner that the national crisis was at the head and that they would be flawless. However, Huangshi hopes that these people can use their vacation to travel around and help him expand his influence, so he should act in accordance with the law and resolutely take a vacation. As a result, the first decree issued by the Fujian Provincial Secretary of State against Huangshi was that the doctors of the Fujian Provisional Provincial Secretary unanimously passed a request for urgent overtime and the suspension of all leave of the Provincial Secretary Yuan.

Huangshi's worries did not last long, and a large number of factory owners began to flock to Quanzhou after hearing about the great changes in Quanzhou, asking friends in the courtyard to inquire about the news and help them with advice.

After the first few days, Huang Shi did not go to the Provincial Secretary of State to cause trouble, but worked in the Qi State Mansion, sending some undecided decisions to the Provincial Secretary of State to let those shrewd bosses help him with his staff.

The Provincial Secretary Yuan soon passed several emergency decrees, one of which was to requisition the weapons of the gun factory and send them to the armed militia on the border of Fujian and Zhejiang. Originally, some people tried to requisition them for free, but several doctors who were born as gun factory owners vigorously opposed it, and the Fujian gun factory group had gathered around them, and some people threatened to propose to requisition merchant ships free of charge if they requisitioned guns and guns for free, and some even threatened to go to Shun. In the end, it was decided to pay them the wages and materials of the workers at the first cost, and the rest of the money was owed first, and the government had to pay interest when the government's finances improved.

Most of the other requisition orders were also handled in this way, and the conscription orders were the most noisy, and all the merchants thought that their factories needed the most strong labor, and finally a compromise was reached, but the military pay had to be observed by the provincial secretary of state, and the use of military funds had to be supervised.

"How?" Huang Shi asked Jin Qiude: "Is it better than your method?" ”

"Indeed," Jin Qiude admitted that although the Provincial Secretary House was noisy, the implementation of the policy with these businessmen was much easier than robbing, and it would not cause major turmoil and panic, and the people in the House of Secretaries were all big leaders from all walks of life, and it was better for them to persuade other businessmen to cooperate than for the government to rely on authority, especially when the court was shaky: "It's just, my lord, this is an expedient measure, right?" When we get over the crisis, the adults will take back the power, right? ”

"Of course." Huang Shi replied without thinking.

……

A month passed in the blink of an eye, and Fujian was like a big buzzing beehive, and after mobilizing a large number of troops, the whole province became a big military camp.

When Liu Chang came to visit Zhu Jiu today, his old friend, who usually came to meet him immediately, left him in the living room to drink tea for a long time.

"Gentlemen." Zhu Jiu was busy in the courtyard receiving a group of old friends from Xiapu who came to see him: "The contemptible people have been fighting for everyone in the Qing Courtyard, whether it is a maritime merchant or not, as long as it is my Zhu Jiu's friend, none of them have suffered a loss, right?" ”

Although he has only been a temporary provincial secretary for a month, Zhu Jiu, who has tasted the sweetness of power, has already decided to run for next year's official provincial secretary of the court, Zhu Jiu has asked the housekeeper to rush back and announce in the whole factory: as long as Boss Zhu is elected as a member of the parliament for two years, every worker can get a reward of two taels of silver plus five days of vacation, and he also encouraged his relatives and friends to make similar promises, the workers and their families in Xiapu account for the absolute majority of the population, with the support of these factory owners and workers, Zhu Jiu feels that it is effortless to win a place.

"Ninth Master, I have always supported Duke Qi, but this gunpowder requisition order ...... Will the government really pay it back in the future? ”

"I must pay it back, as long as I, Zhu Jiu, am still in the Provincial Courtyard, I must not let the government lose a copper plate from Boss Chen."

"This requisition is more than once, can the ninth master talk about it in the Qing Yuan, requisition once, buy it once."

"Boss Chen, if you can't repel the thieves, then your gunpowder was really in vain before, and if you repel the thieves, isn't there still money?" Zhu Jiu unceremoniously borrowed Huang Shi's words: "Even if Boss Chen didn't have a requisition order before, did you have less silver taken away for nothing?" After repelling the thieves, you will have friends who speak up for you," Zhu Jiu pointed to himself: "There are people you trust to help you ask for debts, and one less copper plate will not give up with the people who owe you money, isn't this worth your defense?" Isn't it worth fighting for? If it were me, I would be willing to die. ”

After mobilizing, Zhu Jiu asked a friend who had business in northern Fujian: "Xianxia Pass did repel the thieves, right?" Tomorrow the Qing Yuan will discuss this matter, and I don't want to be embarrassed. ”

"It's true that we won, but it's not the main force that takes the lead."

"Well, I see, thank you."

Finally sent off the last batch of guests, Zhu Jiu wiped his sweat and came to see Liu Chang, and when he met, he smiled bitterly: "Serving the country, oops, hard, hard." It's still Speaker Liu's idleness, it's really enviable. ”

Originally, Liu Chang was very majestic in the Provincial Academy, and everyone envied the eye-catching chair he sat on, and according to Huangshi's initial rules: when the number of votes is the same, the speaker will make a decision. Everyone was even more jealous, feeling that this speaker was really a high authority, and one vote was worthy of dozens or hundreds of votes from others, and he was not on good terms with Chairman Liu and privately discussed proposing a replacement.

As a result, after a month, everyone understood that the speaker was actually a paper tiger, and it was useless except to take a piece of broken wood and shoot blindly. They could neither speak nor ask questions, but could only sit there and listen to the generous statements made by others.

Same number of votes? Seventy-five to seventy-five, go dream, everyone carefully calculates that this thing may not happen once in a hundred years.

These days, there are already a lot of people in front of Liu Chang's house, and when he visits the door privately in his spare time, every time he is either hung for a long time or persuaded to leave: the contemptible people still have to serve the country, Speaker, you go back to work first.

"I've been sitting in the position of council chair for a long time." Liu Chang said to Zhu Jiu earnestly: "I think it's time to abdicate and make way for Xian......"

"No, no, no," Zhu Jiu, who guessed what Liu Chang was going to say, hurriedly jumped up and waved his hands: "President Liu is highly respected, the position of the speaker belongs to you, and I Zhu Jiu will be the first to disagree with someone else!" Besides, this is the heavy responsibility that Qi Bus gives you. ”
