Inside the police station.

Wang Lu was in the office, it was already autumn at the moment, and it had just passed an autumn rain, which could be said to be quite cool.

But he felt so irritable that he could hardly sit down, and he had to walk back and forth in his office.

"Squeak!" With a bang, the office door was pushed open.

Mo Ling walked in, and when he saw his director's actions, he asked, "Director, what's wrong with you?"

"Alas, wasn't it caused by the Chang'an Iron and Steel Plant?" Wang Lu scolded and scolded: "Why do you say those guys like to make such a fuss? First it was the Daxing Textile Factory, and now it is the turn of the Chang'an Iron and Steel Factory. Who's next?"

In order to ensure that nothing like this happened at the Chang'an Iron and Steel Plant, Wang Lu had to transfer one-fifth of the police force to prevent deaths and injuries.

"Sure enough!"

Mo Ling smiled in his heart, and then asked, "If that's the case, I don't know what the director plans to do?"

"What to do? If I knew, I would have called you?" Wang Lu complained.

He really has no means to deal with such large-scale group incidents.

Mo Ling teased: "Ha, you are the director, if you always come to ask me, isn't it decent? If that's the case, why don't you give me this position?"

"If you want it, just take it, and it will make me happy. Wang Lu said with a smile.

If it is in the locality, the chief of the police department is naturally majestic, but if it is in Chang'an, it is a different matter.

Not to mention the many officials above this, as well as the parliamentarians who will supervise hundreds of officials anytime and anywhere, even those energetic students, they are not something he can provoke, and if he is not careful, he may offend an official or a parliamentarian, and then be directly ousted.

It's a thankless place, so to speak.

"Anyway, right now, I just want to be able to step down normally, and don't make trouble when I'm in office, that's the best. Wang Lu looked tired.

"Well, it looks like the director is ready. Mo Ling smiled, and then asked tentatively, "So it seems that you don't plan to meddle in this matter?"

"That's right. You also know that the affairs of this steel mill are too wide-ranging, not to mention the influence of his owner, the Su clan in the parliament, and the relationship with the army alone is extraordinary. If you want to fight against them, you will definitely not succeed with Su Peng and Feng Gao. ”

Wang Lu is not the melon-eating masses, he knows all this, so after getting the news, he immediately went to the scene and completely blocked the entire factory.

"But what scared me even more was the attitude of the lord. ”

Wang Lu paused, and when he mentioned Su Quan and the others, he was obviously afraid: "According to the attitude of the lord, it is obvious that he will protect those ——, well, the strikers! After all, the lord started by resisting in the first place, and it is obvious that he will protect the other party." ”

"So you're afraid that if the lord finds out, he'll come out directly to protect the strikers?" Mo Ling replied with Wang Lu's words.

In order to avoid touching Xiao Feng's moldy head, even if the lord was not here, the two of them still replaced the so-called "mob" with strikers.

Wang Lu closed his head and replied, "That's right. The most important thing is that it is the Kuomintang's place of influence that has happened this time. And the Kuomintang is entangled with the Kuomintang at the moment, and after the Kuomintang gets this news, it is afraid that it will not turn a blind eye and will definitely take action. I'm really scared of that. ”

"In that case, the situation is clear. I just don't know which side Director Wang are you going to stand on?" Mo Ling said with a smile.

Wang Luyu raised his eyebrows and asked angrily, "Which side are you on?" Of course I am on the side of the citizens, after all, the reason why the lord appointed me is not to hope that I can maintain the peace and tranquility of the entire Chang'an City?"

"Alas!"

Mo Ling sighed, and then asked: "Director Wang, let me ask you, then Su Quan can be called a citizen, but the workers in the steel mill are also citizens, if there is a conflict between the two sides, which side do you plan to stand on?"

"This, why do you get more confused the more you listen to it?"

Wang Lu touched his head and felt a faint pain in his skull.

That's why he always asks Mo Ling, he is really not good at analyzing the situation.

Mo Ling replied: "Hah." It's not complicated, it's actually just a sentence. For you, who do you think is the bad guy and who's the good guy in this matter?"

"Of course it's Su Quan. If it weren't for the wanton behavior of the king Quanbin he appointed, where would these things have come about. Wang Lu shouted.

Mo Ling smiled and replied, "In this case, is Director Wang planning to stand on the side of those strikers? Wang Lu showed a hint of curiosity, and Mo Ling immediately explained: "After all, if you are on Su Quan's side, you only need to send someone to arrest them, so naturally there is no need to be so troublesome." ”

"Standing on striker, what should I do?" Wang Lu was stunned and quickly dispelled his thoughts.

He was quite concerned about whether he could abdicate peacefully, and naturally he was unwilling to risk angering the lord and the Kuomintang to do such a thing.

Mo Ling smiled: "It's very simple. That is to send people to control those strikers, on the one hand, to ensure that they are safe and sound, so that they will not be completely suppressed by outsiders, and on the other hand, to monitor their whereabouts, so that they do not escape our control. ”

"How do you feel like I've become a bad person?" Wang Lu muttered.

Mo Ling replied: "No way, this is the best way to reduce losses." ”

"Okay, then do as you say. Wang Lu took a deep breath, and in order to avoid someone deliberately misleading him, he personally went to the Chang'an Iron and Steel Plant to ensure that the order was conveyed before he breathed a sigh of relief.

The incident of the Dongfang Police Station and Zhang Mao at the beginning made Wang Lu remember it vividly, for fear that the police under his command would have problems again.

Government Affairs District, Prime Minister's Desk.

As always, Xiao Feng sat in this office and handled official business, but Duan Feng, who appeared in front of her, interrupted her work.

"What are you looking for me for?"

Raising his head, Xiao Feng glanced at Duan Feng.

Duan Feng was a little nervous, and he asked in a low voice, "Lord, I have something I want to report to the Lord, and I ask the Lordship to agree." ”

"Say it. ”

Xiao Feng was a little impatient, put down the brush in his hand, and looked at Duan Feng quietly.

"Lord Qi, it's about Chang'an Iron and Steel Plant. Because of the recent changes in the Chang'an Iron and Steel Plant, a batch of munitions delivered to our army has not been delivered for a long time. The minister thinks that it is better to control the iron and steel plant? Otherwise, if this continues, our army really can't wait!"

Duan Feng elaborated in his mouth, while raising his head slightly, he peeked at Xiao Feng, his face was still fair, making people think that the person in front of him was just a girl in her twenties, but Duan Feng was quite clear that the woman in front of him was also in her fifties this year, and she had already entered the stage of old age.

I don't know what I'm thinking, Xiao Feng's dress is quite simple, her hair is tied with a red rope, and it hangs down the back of her head, showing that she is still a virgin who has not yet left the cabinet, and her thin body is draped in a red military uniform, which looks much more energetic, but it does not hide the characteristics of women below.

Duan Feng felt guilty and felt that this world was too ridiculous, but he let such a woman bear such a heavy responsibility.

"So you want my approval to let the Central Guard Army dispatch?"

The words that rang out suddenly interrupted Duan Feng's thoughts, his eyes didn't dare to look directly, and he immediately moved away, but accidentally touched the other party's eyes, which made Duan Feng feel that his entire body was soaked in cold water.

Darkness, coldness, and anger, these things made him afraid, and he quickly lowered his head and didn't dare to look directly, and felt that his previous thoughts were simply a joke, just like the lord, do you still need someone to instruct him?

"This, I'm also thinking about the army. After all, if the Chang'an Iron and Steel Plant does not produce all the time, where should the arms needed by the army come from?"

"I'll deal with that naturally, you don't have to talk too much. Xiao Feng reprimanded.

Duan Feng felt displeased, feeling as if he had been neglected, especially the almost cold attitude, which also made him feel abandoned: "But my lord, the Chang'an Iron and Steel Plant supplies one-third of the army's munitions. If there is a problem with this steel plant, then the military restructuring may have to be abandoned halfway. ”

"I know. ”

Xiao Feng's voice was raised three points, obviously impatient.

"But don't forget that you're still a soldier and you're not allowed to meddle in local affairs. You know what?"

Duan Feng wanted to say something, but Xiao Feng was no longer interested in continuing to explain.

She directly rebuked: "Chang'an Iron and Steel Plant is a local affair, not your jurisdiction, and you should not interfere." Got it?"

"The subordinates understand. ”

Duan Feng was obviously stunned, and only at this time did he dare to raise his head and stare at the lord in front of him, his dark pupils were full of vigilance, and they swallowed his expectations even more.

At this moment, Duan Feng didn't know why Xiao Feng insisted so much, but he also understood that it was useless for him to continue to insist, so he had to bow down and leave from here.

Seeing Duan Feng leaving, Xiao Feng felt that his attitude was too strict before, but he had long been used to being alone, so he closed his eyes and leaned on the seat, thinking in his heart: "It's not that I don't want to, it's really a lesson from the Song Dynasty, I have to guard against it!"

Others may not be concerned about the affairs of the Song Dynasty, but Xiao Feng is quite vigilant, and understands that if the Song Dynasty does not sit idly by and watch the rise of local warlords, how can it lead to defeat?

In order to prevent similar things, Xiao Feng had no choice but to strengthen the clamp on the army.

"Lord, lord!"

The delicate voice sounded, and Wang Ke stood outside the door, poking his head out to look at Xiao Feng.

Xiao Feng shook his head lightly, revealing a little helplessness: "What are you doing standing outside the door? Come in!"

"I, I know. ”

Only then did Wang Ke dare to take a step forward, stepped into the office, and held a document tightly in his arms.

"Lord, this is the information you want about the steel mill. ”

Handing over the document, Wang Ke looked at Xiao Feng with wide eyes and curiosity.

Xiao Feng took it, swept his gaze over it, and immediately laughed: "No wonder those workers want to strike, it turns out that this is the case? Eight hours a day, when they are all beaten with iron?"

It has always been Xiao Feng's action to plan and then act, and when he learned about the steel plant, he had already sent someone to investigate, and it was not until now that this document was sent here.

"That's right. It's just my lord, what are you going to do next?"

Wang Ke nodded, her face showing some sadness, as if the things explained on the document touched her.

Xiao Feng's eyes were slightly raised, but he looked at Wang Ke with a little smile, but asked, "What do you think?"

"Arrest those people, of course. Wang Ke's eyes widened, and he said as he should be, Xiao Feng shook her head lightly, which made her feel stunned, and asked, "Lord, did I say something wrong?"

"It can't be said to be wrong, only inappropriate. ”

Xiao Feng's voice paused, revealing a little tiredness, which made Wang Ke even more puzzled.

As a fledgling fledgling, Wang Ke was not yet familiar with the workings of the government.

Xiao Feng explained: "Let me ask you, if Su Quan, Wang Cai, and Huang Fuming are arrested, then who is willing to continue to invest in the new steel plant? You must know that until now, this steel plant is still in a state of loss, and if I don't rely on building railways to maintain it, I can't hold on to it at all." ”

At the beginning, Su Quan, Su Lan and others founded the steel plant in order to be able to rely on the construction of railways to maintain profits.

Of course, this railway matter is indeed due to the community and the people, but its huge investment is unavoidable, especially Xiao Feng's plan to connect all the state capitals with the railway, and its consumption has risen sharply.

More than 5 million pieces are invested every year, and it has lasted for more than ten years, and only 10,000 miles have been built, which can meet the purpose. However, the price of the tickets alone cannot recoup the investment, and only a few lines are currently profitable, and the rest are still in a loss-making situation.

With the profits of the steel plant, it is really impossible to sustain such a huge project, which leads Wang Quanbin and others to rely on reducing the cost of workers to reduce the amount of money consumed.

There is no way, the entire steel industry has only been developed for ten years, and it has not been able to obtain enough profits to support itself, unless it can develop further, it can only be like this.

Wang Ke asked, "Can't you make demands on others?" For example, Wang Xuan and them should have enough strength to take over." ”

"Wang Xuan, as far as they are hostile to the railway, it would be polite not to stop the steel plant. Xiao Feng snorted lightly, feeling quite annoyed.

The Kuomintang was composed entirely of the local gentry, who lived on the land and were not a good person, and had always openly and covertly opposed the construction of railways in order to avoid infringement of their own interests.

Otherwise, why was Zhou Peiling framed by Zhang Feng because of the construction of the Qin Straight Road?

This is the stubbornness of the landlord class, and Xiao Feng understands this quite well.

Wang Ke felt gloomy and asked, "If that's the case, then what's next? You can't just let the steel plant shut down!"

"Alas. For now, we can only wait. Let's see exactly what they're going to do so we can take the next step. Xiao Feng replied helplessly.

I didn't care about it before, but when I really came into contact with these things, I understood what a torrent of history was.

Some things are inevitable after all!
