Chapter 214: Riots
Inside the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate.
"The waterways of Xishan, the wharves of Taicang, what do these merchants want to do? Do you still want them to make it happen? This is still the south of the Yangtze River, the waterway is still cheap, and after some time, these merchants will go to the north of the Yangtze River and want to split the mountains to build roads, and you will not be able to build them too? ”
"If it's not enough, it's not enough after all, how can the court not repair it?"
"If this is a one-hammer deal, the monarch's father is merciful and repairs it after allocating money from within, but is this a one-hammer deal? Is it that they will have to be repaired every year in the future, and the monarch's father will have to spend money in the treasury every year to get used to them? ”
"You might as well say it directly, is there a traitor who is eyeing the emperor's father's internal money?"
"Who do you say is a traitor?!"
“……”
Several imperial historians in the Metropolitan Inspectorate argued day and night about whether to "repair" this pier.
Mixed with this controversy was Hu Shan's screams, but after the execution, Xu Xuan threw down the ruthless stick and came to Ning Jue.
"Hu Xian, that Hu Shan has already finished the execution, a hundred rods, enough."
Ning Jue said casually: "Throw it out after the fight." ”
At this time, Ning Jue was a little depressed in his heart.
Aren't all the solutions written in the notebook? Your old Taoist priest only reads half of the music, right?!
However, Ning Jue was also used to it.
After seeing Hu Shan being thrown out of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Ning Jue took an ox cart out of the city and went to the Taiping Wharf outside the city.
——
Taiping Wharf is located in Jinling Xuanwu Hubei and is the largest wharf in Jinling.
Rao was already mentally prepared, but when he saw the notice posted outside the dock, Ning Jue was still shocked by these merchants.
"Ten cents a day for a laborer? A day of hard work is only one pound or four or two meters? ”
"This gentleman, I see that you are not the one who should be Liba, this is already a conscience price, and some people are rushing to do it." The dock clerk's office casually responded to Ning Jue's words, and walked towards the notice.
Behind him, there were two long-term workers chattering about something.
"Sun Shuban, there are a few relatives in my family, you can arrange a job on this dock casually, as long as it is a long-term job, I will invite you to drink another day."
"Don't talk about the side, you go and move a set of tables and chairs first, and then get a set of pens and ink."
The two long-term workers immediately ran to move the tables and chairs.
Seeing this scene, Ning Jue always felt a little familiar.
Soon the two foremen brought the tables and chairs.
It's just that at the moment when the table was put down, the clerk looked at the two of them and said, "Li San'er, Zhang Quan, right?" ”
The two long-term workers were stunned.
"Yes."
"This is the salary of the two of you this month, a total of 17 days, you take it and draw a charge, the master said, there will not be so many people for a while."
For these two long-term workers, it was like five thunderbolts.
"Sun Shuban, I've only been working on the dock for less than a month, so I'm fired?"
The clerk shook his head, pointed to the dock in the distance and said, "There are many goods, and the lord is also in a hurry, but you also know that there are only so many boats coming in on the dock every day, and there is not so much work!" ”
"You don't have so much work, so you still recruit odd jobs?!"
The clerk was choked and speechless, so he had to stare at the two long-term workers and say loudly: "Yes! The old man recruited odd jobs, which royal law of the court was violated?! Say it, and I'll intercede for you now! ”
"You!"
The clerk pulled the two of them, pressed their handprints on the vouchers in turn, and then waved his hand impatiently: "Let's get together and disperse, don't miss the master's work." ”
"Follow the guy over there to get the credentials, and then I registered my name and surname here."
"*You*."
Hearing these three words, Ning Jue couldn't help but smile.
The more simple the word, the more pleasant it sounds in this context.
The secretary was stunned for a moment, and then raised his head in amazement.
"What?"
The two laborers looked up, looked at the clerk and smiled, "*you*." ”
"You're going to rebel?!"
Before the clerk could come to his senses, the table that had just been set up was overturned.
"Then what if you make this rebellion?! The traitor was imprisoned, and he knew how to give a bowl of swill! ”
The secretary put a head of ink on his head and looked at the people in front of him in astonishment.
It's just that this sentence is like a spark falling into a powder keg.
The long-suppressed force whirlwind gathered together and smashed towards the dock, and the originally silent dock was in chaos in an instant.
Ning Jue, who was squeezed into the corner, suddenly came back to his senses.
This is someone deliberately forcing the workers to make trouble! ——
Soon, someone broke into the restaurant where Ruan Bi and others were often there.
"Ladies and gentlemen, something is wrong, those Liba are making trouble, and they will come over in a while, let's go quickly."
Hu Shan, who had just finished eating the board and was thrown out, hit a spirit when he heard the words.
"Stop fighting! Isn't it just a wage increase? I'm up, can't I go up?! ”
After that, Hu Shan's tears were about to flow out.
Ruan Bijing stepped forward and grabbed Hu Shan.
"Xue Ling, what are you yelling about?! Hurry up, we toss so much, aren't we just waiting for today? ”
Hu Shan was completely stunned.
"Liangchen, what have you been doing in the past few days since I was away?"
"Don't worry about it so much, there are armor guards from the city ship division over there in the big warehouse, these Liba don't dare to move, at most they will throw some scattered silver, let's hurry up and get on the boat and hide in the river!"
After that, Ruan Bi didn't forget to open the window and scolded a few times outside.
"What is the use of you looking for Lao Tzu? The imperial court does not build a wharf, what does it have to do with us! We're in a hurry! ”
The servant carried Ruan Bi and the others in a panic and ran towards the cruise ship in the distance.
Ruan Bi didn't forget to shout behind him, and he didn't notice that Hu Shan was missing from his side.
Ruan Bi, who climbed onto the boat, panicked and ordered: "What are you doing in a daze? Hurry up, hurry up and report to the official! Take the waterway directly back to Jiangning! ”
"Whoa."
The imperial court didn't care about the merchants, and the officials didn't dare to speak, so the new law was stuck here.
But once the popular uprising was provoked, the court couldn't pretend to be blind even if it wanted to.
——
"Hu Er, where are you taking me there?"
Hu Shan looked at Hu Er who was carrying him with a stunned expression.
Hu Er gasped and said, "Aren't we running up the river?" ”
"Look up, are you running up the river?"
Hu Er raised his head in confusion, only to see that he and Hu Shan appeared in a clearing, with some sundries piled up in the clearing, and there were no rivers and boats in front of him.
"Master, we shouldn't have to keep running."
Hu Shan, who was on Hu Er's back, also swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then said, "I can see it." ”
One hundred and ten hungry eyes glowing green "Liba" had already surrounded the master and servant.
Hu Shan's expression was distorted and he said: "Ladies and gentlemen, I said that I was just released from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, do you believe it?" ”
"Believe, forcing the three widows to go to heaven and enter the ground, your name has already spread all over the eight provinces in the south of the Yangtze River."
Hu Shan took a deep breath, and then forcibly calmed down: "Can you not fight?" I have wounds on my body, and I can give money. ”
These "Liba" in front of them are getting closer and closer to Hushan.
Hu Shan finally couldn't help but scold angrily: "I really don't know what's going on!" As soon as the Metropolitan Procuratorate threw me out, he Ruan Liangchen pulled me to the dock. ”
"Where's the surname Ruan?!"
"He has already run to the river!"
As soon as the words fell, the chaotic people who had just been emotionally upset calmed down.
"Brother Zhang, I'm afraid that the surname Ruan will go by water to report to the official, so we are ...... now Anti-thief? ”
"Don't mess around!"
The long-term worker named "Zhang Quan" roared, and the laborers who were still a little flustered found the backbone a little.
"Hu Yuanwai, we don't want to rebel, we are all forced by the brute surnamed Ruan, we just want a way to live! A bowl of rice to eat! ”
Hu Shan hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, I know that you are all good citizens of the Ming Dynasty, I can testify to you, I also have a small network in the imperial court, the two cabinets of the cabinet are always my mentors, and the eight Shangshu of the six departments of the two capitals are my father's ......."
"Do you have a way to intercept the surname Ruan?!"
Hu Shan, who was stopped by a loud roar, opened his eyes in astonishment, but what he saw was Ning Jue.
Under this situation, Hu Shan felt that Ning Jue was a little kind.
"You Xian, you save me, you save me!"
Zhang Quan and the others, who learned of Ning Jue's identity, were also stunned.
Ning Jue grabbed Hu Shan's collar and said angrily: "Lao Tzu asked you if there is a way to intercept the surname Ruan?" Can't hear clearly? ”
Seeing Ning Jue's appearance, Hu Shan couldn't help but show bitterness on his face.
"How can I have that ability, it is estimated that his surname Ruan has already entered the city from Xuanwu Lake."
Before Hu Shan could finish speaking, there were bursts of fire outside the dock, followed by a rapid sound of horses' hooves.
"Brother Zhang, it's a soldier! There is also a horse team, the soldiers of the court are coming, and we are surrounded on the dock. ”
Rao is Zhang Quan, who was still calm, had no idea the moment he saw the soldiers and horses of the imperial court coming.
Ning Jue, who dragged Hu Shan like a dead dog, spoke: "Do you want to live or do you want to die?" ”
"Naturally, I want to live."
"Then listen to me, go find the high place of the dock, where is the high place of the dock? As long as the soldiers of the court see me, this matter has nothing to do with you. ”
Zhang Quan subconsciously blurted out: "Restaurant! ”
Under the leadership of Ning Jue and Zhang Quan, all the laborers who rushed into the dock in their emotions rushed into the restaurant where Ruan Bi was hiding before.
Ning Jue also found a chair and sat in the most conspicuous place in the restaurant.
Since ancient times, the old principle of chaos is to only punish the first evil, and the rest do not ask, as long as they are not mad, they will not connect everyone.
One is the imperial history of the four products of the imperial court.
One is the laborers on the docks.
As long as the intelligence is normal, I will not think that this matter is led by illiterate laborers.
Zhang Quan and the others didn't know the deep meaning, but after all, there was no better way at the moment, they could only do whatever Ning Jue said.
To their surprise, when Ning Jue appeared in the restaurant, the armor soldiers of the imperial court really stopped after surrounding the restaurant!
What Zhang Quan didn't know was that several little eunuchs were rushing towards the palace.
Just to pass Zhu Zaili a shocking news.
Ning Ke finally rebelled!
