Chapter 34: The Procession

In the afternoon, food prices rose a bit.

After a brief shortfall caused by looting, the imperial court sent people to set up stalls at various intersections to sell grain, vegetables, and fruits at affordable prices.

I heard that there was still fresh seafood and slaves sold at the port.

And it's all at parity.

The regular black slaves have now dropped from four yuan five to four yuan two, but the price has not changed when the court sells them, but even if they have not changed, slaves and seafood, grain and vegetables have also been snapped up.

Chu Tianshu felt that something must have happened.

But he had no clue at all.

The people of the Confiscation School were doing things today, and they were given blood sacrifices by the king on the spot.

Cui He's posthumous name has also been added to it.

No one knows why a person who has been dead for a long time is responsible for such a thing.

But the pot always has to be carried by someone.

The dead are certainly better bullied than the living in this case.

That night, people in the factory got together to discuss the change of events.

The imperial court did not issue a ban on alcohol, nor did it order a curfew, and the number of people patrolling the streets did not increase, but everyone still spontaneously did not go out.

Now the streets are deserted, and the usual bustle is gone.

The children also obediently ate and worked for a while before going to bed.

Chu Tianshu pushed it for a long time according to the available information, but he couldn't deduce anything, he just felt that the situation was very chaotic.

But the order is clearly the same stability as usual.

And there is no shortage of supplies, not even big rumors recently.

It's very strange.

After thinking about it for a long time, I didn't understand what was going to happen because of the lack of information, so I couldn't respond to it in a targeted manner.

Early the next morning, the shouts outside the window were like waves, and someone patted the door of the factory, so the children also came here to pat Chu Tianshu's door.

Chu Tianshu washed up briefly, followed the guidance of the small workers and looked out, and the streets were already full of people holding flags and banners.

Judging by their clothing, all of them were poor.

During this year, the poor were generally illiterate.

That is to say, these people are either led by some learned people, or they are simply hired by some well-intentioned people.

Looking at the banners again, it is generally written that the words are asking for a reduction in working hours and an increase in salary.

Chu Tianshu looked at a few more, and his heart was suddenly surging.

But he actually knew in his heart that it was mostly a bait.

Seeing Chu Tianshu appear, some marching workers came to give Chu Tianshu a flag and put the banner on the plaque of the Chiyang Iron and Steel Plant.

"Isn't it hurtful for you to hold a march?" Chu Tianshu asked while these people were hanging banners.

When a few of the people who helped with the banners heard this, they replied, "Before we came, we had already found out the working hours, work content, salary, and the factory owner's internal system of each factory. ”

"Is there only a factory?"

"Of course it's not just factories." The man replied, "We have checked all the factories and shops in Tianjing. ”

"What about the small restaurants, tooth shops, rice shops, brothels, car dealers, boat shops, inns, etc.?"

"What do those check them do?" The man glanced at Chu Tianshu strangely.

"Chu Gong thinks those should also be checked?" A voice rang out behind him.

The few people who set up the banner in front of him finished the banner and helped Chu Tianshu close the door and leave.

Chu Tianshu turned to look.

The person in front of him was Cui Ma.

"It's probably supposed to be checked." Chu Tianshu smiled: "After all, if you can unite one more force, you will have a better chance of success." ”

"Chu Gong Gao Jian." Cui Ma smiled.

Chu Tianshu waved his hand: "Let's go back to eat first." ”

As he spoke, he glanced back and looked out.

The march continued.

Chu Tianshu went out after eating and went to several national factories to see.

The factories have also been shut down, the factories are deserted, and the lame janitors say that the workers in the factories have also gone on strike.

After a few more turns, I still didn't find any official to stop the march.

From here, Chu Tianshu became more and more sure that behind this parade was promoted by some people in the imperial court.

But whoever started to promote and brew such a huge march, in any case, it had already happened, and the situation of the workers could change for the better.

Chu Tianshu thought that after going back, he set up a small stall at the gate of the factory, and asked Master Zhou, who was in charge of the kitchen in the factory, to prepare herbal tea and some small pieces of flour and pickles in the stall, and let the workers in the march take them at will.

Then he followed the procession and walked around, and roughly found the general destination of their parade.

- The Metropolitan Assembly next to the Imperial Palace.

All the seven major discussions of the Yun Dynasty, only the discussions of the kings who mobilized troops, were completed in the palace.

The remaining six meetings, the general process of deliberation, is that the subordinate departments and yamen of the parliament submit specific matters, and then the presiding officer determines the topic and submits it to the council for selection.

Then the chamberlains collect materials and submit files, the council reports to the imperial court, the emperor uses the seal, and then the council deliberates the results, submits, the emperor uses the seal again, and the council again discusses the specific implementation plan, and then decentralizes.

These two crucial parliamentary deliberations took place in the Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly.

The workers' march eventually converged on the Tokyo Metropolitan House, and it cannot be said that they were in the wrong place, but they were not exactly right.

However, the important thing about the parade is not to find the right person, but to the parade itself.

Only by making demands and showing strength can we gain the attention of the government in power.

Of course, all the purposes of the march never can be fully achieved.

But the situation will improve.

Because the government is bound to fear the bottom of the union.

So theoretically, within a fixed system, the more such things as demonstrations are done, the better the situation and living conditions of the marchers.

Wages have been raised, working hours have been reduced, and human dignity has been ......

For this kind of thing, although Chu Tianshu knew that the march could not solve the fundamental problem, he also supported it.

It's much better than trying desperately blindfolded.

Leaving the capital office, Chu Tianshu did not go to the palace, but went to the Qin Mansion to find Qin Yi.

"Young Master Qin said before that he wanted to sort out a copy of Song Guo's information for me, I don't know if it's sorted out."

"Not yet, only sorting out the situation brought back by some domestic businessmen when they used to do business, these are definitely not enough." Qin Yi shook his head: "And you also know that after a while, the national dynasty will use troops against the Song country, and the situation will definitely change at that time...... Hey, I really don't know if Ying Zhi went to the Song Kingdom, whether it was good or bad. ”

"Then I don't know." Chu Tianshu shook his head: "But no matter what, if you don't go, Young Master Qin, it's definitely not a very good thing." ”

"I'd love to go too." Qin Yi shook his head: "I want to go......"

But no.
