Chapter 391: People's hearts are impetuous
According to Ji Aojian's blueprint, this year is a critical year for California to establish a strong government and implement the governor's governance.
"The people of California like self-government, so cities are independent of each other, like a divided mountain. "From the perspective of the entire state, this is like a plate of loose sand. We wiped out all the upper echelons of San Francisco, and no one stood up for them, and no one cared about them. ”
Now that the city of San Francisco has become a gold rush place, that's the focus of attention. If there is chaos in the city, it may make outsiders happy, and feel that there is a chance to fish in troubled waters.
"We first took full control of San Francisco and made it the capital of California. Then, from this point of view, expand the power of governance to other cities. ”
Quan Xiaohui asked, "Young Master, for other cities, are we also going to clean up the upper-class people there?"
"We don't have roots in those cities, and this kind of cleaning is not universal. Ji Aojian said, "For other cities, they should strengthen their attractiveness and slowly hollow out." ”
"So what should I do?"
"When the gold rush is in full swing, the whole of California will fall into an impetuous atmosphere of getting rich overnight, right?"
"yes. ”
"Poor people in other cities will naturally come in large numbers to pan for gold, yes or no?"
"yes. ”
"In the sparsely populated western part of North America, human resources are the most valuable asset. Ji Aojian smiled, "Those cities have lost a lot of blood due to their population. Development will be sluggish or even shrinking, and the gap between the strength of the capital and the capital will be even greater. ”
The intermittent flow reminded, "Ji Gongzi." No matter how many people come, they are just gold diggers, and they cannot be regarded as human resources in the city. ”
"How can it not be counted?" Ji Aojian shook his head, "Since we have the wealth of gold mines here, we can naturally build many factories and accommodate a large number of laborers. When the industrial development of the city formed a significant scale, it became a developed area. Very few people leave this rich and bustling metropolis again. ”
"How many people can this metropolis have?"
"Now California has a population of only a few million, a world-class metropolis. It is normal to have a population of 10 million. Ji Aojian said casually, "Even if I fill in everyone in California, I don't think it's enough." Many, many more immigrants are needed. ”
"Millions of people. Tens of millions of people?" Shi Xuanliu was surprised, "This consumption is too great, how can our municipal services keep up?"
"If there is demand, there is a market, the more population, the greater the market potential, and the more prosperous it will be in the future. Ji Ao Kendao, "Now it's neither bad money nor bad people." What we need to do is build a series of service industries. Put the municipal construction, the construction of houses. These areas of grain trade have been eaten. ”
Quan Xiaohui listened and couldn't help asking, "Young Master, listen to what you mean, it seems that if you concentrate on developing one city, won't the rest of California be desolate?"
"Resources are limited, so of course we have to focus on big things. Ji Aojian waved his hand, "Only in this city do we have absolute control, why bother to throw money outside and develop for others." When San Francisco's economic share accounts for more than eighty or ninety percent of the western part of North America, turning other cities into supplementary links in the industrial chain, it will completely control the economic lifeline of other cities, and the city will naturally become the absolute political center of California. When the time comes, these cities will also be recognized as our vassals, both physically and psychologically, and it will be much easier to accept the governor's rule. ”
"If we're just going to develop the city first, why do we want to use it in the name of the state government?"
"If the name is not right, it is not right. We have now set the name, and through the subtle psychological transformation of the people, we will basically be able to cover the entire region with the right to govern in the future, and we can basically do it in one step. ”
Ji Aojian said, "We don't completely ignore the outside, and those who verbally recognize the governor will be bound to more interests, and those who don't recognize the governor will be excluded from our economic circle." ”
The mayor and sheriff nodded together.
"You all understand now, don't you?"
"I don't understand at all. Ah Ke looked over blankly, "Young Master Ji, what did you just say?"
Ji Aojian didn't care, "If you don't understand, forget it, the person I want to talk to is not you." ”
At this moment, a big man suddenly broke in and shouted, "Childe, your old man is going to be the master for us!"
"Why are you so flustered?" Ji Aojian saw that it was Commander Ling and reprimanded, "Don't you see that the people sitting here are all high-class people, you come out with some grace." ”
Ling Tan glanced at the room and said disdainfully, "The so-called upper-class people are playing cards during working hours?"
Quan Xiaohui coughed and hurriedly put away the cards.
Ji Aojian asked, "What kind of dispute did you have? If you have a problem, you have to find the police first." ”
"If the police are useful, what else do we do?"
Shi Jian snorted, "We police only arrest people, and we don't care about solving cases." ”
Ji Ao said, "Then go to the judge to fight a lawsuit." ”
Ling Tan said, "The judge of this city heard that he has rolled up his bed and gone to work as a miner. ”
Ji Aojian was stunned, how could I forget this stubble.
"Yes, now that there is a shortage of judges in this city, how can we get it in the long run?" Shi Xuanliu clapped his hands, "Let's follow my idea just now, according to our Chinese practice, the county government master is also in charge of judicial trials." Now, as long as Xiao Hui is allowed to hold a court session, it must be a mirror hanging. ”
"Even if Miss Xiaohui can try the case. Ling Tan still shook his head, "But our navy has made a mistake, and it should be tried by a military court, not a local court." ”
Ji Aojian became curious, "What happened to our navy?"
"Childe, we have a brother who has itchy hands today and went into the casino. ”
Ji Aojian nodded, "Then?"
"When the deputy commander saw him, he arrested him on the spot and tried to cut off his hand. ”
"Huh, chopping hands?"
"Master, this is your command. Tiandaoquan walked in from outside the door and said in a cold voice, "The last time you went to Mexico City, you personally ordered that if anyone in the navy entered the casino, he would have his right hand chopped off. ”
Ji Aojian thought for a moment, "That's right, that's what I said. ”
"Childe, there's a premise for this. Ling Tan hurriedly said, "At that time, you said that such an article would be added to the fleet regulations after the year. We haven't had time to amend the ordinance yet, and those who don't know are not guilty, so we don't need to cut off our hands this time. ”
Shi Xuanliu said, "Commander Ling, why haven't you revised the regulations yet, you haven't taken Ji Gongzi's instructions to heart." ”
"Because the times are progressing, civilization is developing. Ling Tan said solemnly, "Now that the world trend is to abolish corporal punishment, how can we still use such a barbaric punishment as cutting off hands? ”
Shi Xuan Liuden sneered, "If you don't cut off your hands, what kind of underworld are you going to be? ”
"Our Dragon Soul Gang's torture hall originally made a mistake by whipping. Ling Tan said, "After the little boy interceded for everyone that year, the helper abolished the whipping. Now it's hard for everyone to accept that there is a chopping hand all of a sudden. ”
Tiandaoquan said coldly, "I didn't let him cut his abdomen and cut himself, he was already very tolerant." ”
"......" everyone was speechless at the same time.
Ji Aojian thought for a moment and asked, "What about ruining people tirelessly in the casino, what did she say?"
Ling Tanqi said, "Destroying people tirelessly?"
"It's my fourth sister. ”
"Oh. Ling Tan replied, "The fourth lady said that cutting off her hands was too terrible, she was so frightened that she didn't dare to say anything, let us come to the city hall to find you to decide." ”
"......" the audience was speechless again.
"Before you make a decision, you should understand the background. Ji Ao Kendao, "Why can't this person control himself and want to enter the casino?"
"Childe, now the city is full of gold panning topics, and after many people dig up gold, they go into the casino and spend a lot of money at will. Ling Tan sighed and said, "In this impetuous atmosphere of getting drunk and getting rich overnight, some people lack concentration and make mistakes." ”
"Hmm. Ji Aojian pondered, poisoning the social atmosphere is a double-edged sword, but it will not only be the foreign devils who suffer, but also his own people will be affected to a certain extent.
"It is precisely because people's hearts are impetuous, so it is even more necessary to strengthen punishment to curb it. Shi Xuanliu said with a smile, "The ancients said well, use heavy codes in troubled times." ”
In her mind, if corporal punishment can be resumed, at least torture should be resumed, and those skills of this head catcher back then will be useful.
Quan Xiaohui disagreed, "But the fleet regulations don't stipulate that you have to cut off your hands, and if you want to punish it, it will be punished without teaching." ”
Ling Tan was overjoyed, "What Miss Xiaohui said makes sense, this is punishment without teaching." ”
In fact, this is the result of the failure of political and ideological work to keep up. Ji Aojian sighed, "We must hurry up the development of various industries, let everyone be busy, and resist the impetuous atmosphere of the supremacy of money with a vigorous and enterprising spirit of career." ”
"Childe, what is political and ideological work?"
"It's virtue education. ”
Ling Tan asked, "What about today's incident?"
Ji Aojian shook his head, "No need to cut off your hands, whoever enters the casino once in the future will be fined a year's salary." ”
"Master, if you don't cut off your hands, won't it shake your prestige?"
Ji Aojian looked at her helplessly, "If you really cut off your hands, you will also be affected." ”
"What does that mean?"
"You're also an admiral, and now you're in and out of the casino......"
Tian Daoquan was puzzled, "I didn't go in to gamble as an individual, I was a casino staff. ”
"People don't think so, they'll just see you in the casino as the deputy commander of the navy. Ji Aojian said, "So you don't have to cut off your hands, it's good for you and for him, and it's good for everyone." (To be continued......)
