Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty Chapter 1410: Moving, it will happen! (Thanks Hans for the reward!)
"Eh! Have you heard that? The Jinshi Gang in the southwest of the county seat was given a pot by the county government yesterday afternoon~!"
"What? Did you catch Jin Wanbiao?"
"Grab! Grab! It is said that the 58 members of the Jinshi Gang have all been arrested in the county jail!"
"Great! Great! The people of the Jinshi Gang have done all the bad things, and Jin Wanbiao is cruel. I don't know how many merchants have been blackmailed by him! They should have been arrested long ago!"
"You didn’t want to arrest Jin Wanbiao before you became the magistrate of He? Isn’t there no evidence?"
"What's up? Is there evidence this time?"
"Hey! This time it’s different! This time it’s not Sun Catcher from the county office, but the guards of the Hou Mansion. Even if he lends him Jin Wanbiao ten courage, he dare not say anything. Ah!"
"Huh! It seems that Master Hou can't understand their bullies!"
"Isn't it? And I heard that the Chengbei Canghai Gang was also destroyed yesterday afternoon! Although their gang leader, Tsunami Tian, is not as abominable as Jin Wanbiao, he also charged a lot of merchant protection fees!"
"It's far more than that! Except for these two big gangs, many small gangsters in the city were all taken to prison yesterday afternoon. I have a nephew who works in the yamen. I heard him say that the county government’s cell is already overcrowded and is responsible for the trial. The history of Hu Dian of these prisoners was said to have not closed their eyes last night!"
"Huh! Such an exaggeration! It seems that Master Hou really made the move! Otherwise, no one can have this kind of thunder method to wipe out all the rogues in Lantian County!"
"No wonder the Sifang City Gate in Lantian County was suddenly closed yesterday afternoon! It turned out that Lord Hou wanted to completely remove these malignant tumors in the city! Now that these rascals are gone, I feel that the city has a lot of security!" /
" And have you noticed that there are more teams of patrol officers in the city today? I don’t know if they only patrol in the last few days, or if they will patrol like this in the future, if it’s the latter, then the city is There will be no more cases of land ruffians extorting merchant protection fees!"
"Haha! What did I say yesterday? The business department established by the county government is definitely a good thing for us businessmen! Although the business tax payment is more than before, there are no bullies like Jin Wanbiao and Tsunami Tian. Extortion protection fee, the money saved is enough to pay the business tax! What's more, in addition to the priority supply from the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce, the merchants in Lantian County can also go to the county to study. In general, absolutely That's a good thing!"
"That’s right! If you do business in other states and counties, you will also be blackmailed by bullies like Jin Wanbiao. The monthly expenses are not necessarily higher than the expenses of opening a shop in Lantian County. Little! So, the commerce department of this county government, I support it from the bottom of my heart! I just rushed to Master Hou this time to clean up the bullies in the city and give us merchants a sigh of disgust. Support Hou Ye~!"
"Yes, yes~! Must support Hou Ye~!"
the next day.
The people of Lantian County who woke up early couldn't help talking in groups. The focus of the topic was naturally the Lantian County Skynet operation yesterday!
Merchants who were previously dissatisfied with the Department of Commerce and the new business tax law have changed their attitudes and started talking about the Department of Commerce!
"Go and see! The county government has posted a new notice!"
What a coincidence, at this moment, someone ran over and shouted.
"The new notice? It must be related to the bullies of Jin Manbiao! Let's go! Let's go and see!"
I don’t know who screamed, and immediately, the merchants and the people walked quickly in the direction of the county government!
In front of the sign in front of the Yamen in County, twenty or thirty people were already surrounded by this time. A scholar read while watching, "Members of the Jinshi Gang and the Canghai Gang, in recent months, they have been in the city. Blackmailing merchants, demanding protection fees, and guilty of wounding, arson, and other crimes. After the county government tried, the offender confessed to the crime. The county magistrate decided to send these people to the mine and serve three years in prison! , Directly exiled to Qiongzhou!
From now on, if someone dares to blackmail merchants, the county government will punish them severely! And in order to maintain the public order of the city, there will be patrols in the city every day. At the same time, the city will also strengthen patrols to ensure that the merchants have a good business environment and the people have a stable living environment! "
A close examination of the relevant laws in the Tang and Song dynasties reveals that the maximum period of punishment in these two dynasties is generally not more than three years. In other words, prisoners will only be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of less than three years, even most Prisoners are only sentenced to imprisonment of up to two years. The laws of the Tang and Song dynasties set three years as the upper limit of the sentence, from one to three years divided into five criminal law levels.
The reason why there is no longer term imprisonment is mainly because the population in ancient times was not as large as in modern times, and human resources or anything would not be as worthless as in modern society. In this era, everyone is a very precious labor force used to develop production and farming operations. Once the prisoners are detained extensively and detained for a long time, it will have a great impact on the production and operations of the entire society.
Moreover, the fixed-term imprisonment of this era cannot only imprison prisoners. In addition to being detained, these prisoners have to complete forced and high-intensity labor. This approach is roughly the same as the fixed-term imprisonment and labor reform practiced in modern society!
Therefore, the county government's punishment for the gangsters caught yesterday is still very heavy!
"Great! Great! In the future, no one in the city will dare to collect protection fees!"
"Master Hou is really considering me and other merchants! This business department is well established!"
"That's right! You can do business with peace of mind and down-to-earth in the future! Although there are a lot of business taxes, the old man is willing to pay!"
"No! The old man has to buy a shop in Lantian County. Who wants to sell it? The price is easy to negotiate!"
After seeing this notice at the gate of the county government, the people and the merchants finally saw the county government's determination to rectify the law and order of Lantian County, and the merchants all breathed a sigh of relief and rejoiced!
"Hey? Isn't that the boss of Chang'an City? Why did he bring so many cars? What's in that car?"
"Just ask, don’t you know? Boss Cao is still very good at talking!"
When everyone was talking about it, I caught a glimpse of a motorcade on the road west of the county government. The leader was Cao Wendong, the largest cloth merchant in Chang'an! Seeing Cao Wendong brought so many carriages to Lantian County, the people at the county government office could not help but talk.
People who are naturally brave and good deeds approached and asked: "Boss Cao, what are you going to do, you are so exciting?"
Cao Wendong didn’t put on airs, he said with a smile: “Cao heard that Lantian County had set up a Department of Commerce yesterday. He treats businessmen, people, and craftsmen equally, and the children of merchants can also participate in county schools. This makes Cao very My heart is moved! Because of the Department of Commerce, our businessmen will no longer suffer from blind eyes and bullying! So after thinking about it, I plan to completely move the family to Lantian County. Anyway, there are several shops of Cao in this city. You can use this to let the dog enter the county school!"
When Yanhuang Academy was not established last year, Cao Wendong approached Li Zexuan several times and wanted the latter to establish a chamber of commerce and help businessmen improve their social status. At that time, Li Zexuan refused his request for personal reasons. Later, Li Zexuan himself established the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce, and although Cao Wendong also joined the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce, the status of the merchant in society has not changed!
In any place, merchants are lowly untouchables, despised by others!
Now Li Zexuan intends to establish a Department of Commerce in Lantian County, specifically to protect the social status and interests of business people, and has made it clear that the status and class of businessmen and ordinary people are the same. After receiving the news, Cao Wendong was very happy, and then So he hurriedly cleaned up and moved to Lantian County with his family!
After all, it can be said that Lantian County is regarded as the only and possibly the last piece of pure land for the merchants of Datang! Only here can business people get fair and just social treatment and social status, and can get the opportunity to enroll in the county school. In Cao Wendong’s opinion, these two things are good things that can’t be exchanged with money. "Yeah!
"What? Boss Cao? You are moving to Lantian County~?"
After hearing what Cao Wendong said, the merchants couldn't help but exclaimed one by one.
Cao Wendong smiled faintly: "What? Doesn't it look like? The old man has already set up a mansion in Lantian County, in Yong'an Fang, and he will be a close neighbor of Lord Hou by then!"
"But Mr. Cao, what should you do at the cloth workshop in Chang'an City?"
Then someone asked again.
Cao Wendong said indifferently: "Then treat it as a branch. From now on, the Cao's store in Lantian County will be the head office!"
When everyone heard the words, they all looked at each other, and in their hearts they attributed Cao Wendong to the "rich and willful" category of people! After all, although the commercial scale of Lantian County has grown many times before, compared with Chang'an City, Lantian County is still far behind! Now Cao Wendong is willing to use the store in Chang'an City as a branch and move his family to Lantian County. He is really rich and self-willed!
……………………………………
"Now that most of the rogue gangsters in the city have been captured, the Department of Commerce has officially begun to carry out the tasks it should perform, but the public security environment in the city must always be paid attention to to prevent the resurgence of evil forces like Jin Wanbiao. After all, this It was hard to manage the stable town of Lantian County. Once the chaos once again, it will be really difficult to manage!"
Lantian county post office, Li Zexuan said to the officials in the county office.
Yesterday, let Liu Feng take the lead to help the county government arrest people. It was indeed the instruction of Li Zexuan. Although he could not catch all the rogues in the city, at least he caught most of the rogues. The deterrent effect made those Xiaoxiao who slipped through the net not dare to do things in the city anymore!
Of course, the reason for choosing to rectify the law and order in Lantian County at this time is that in addition to giving prestige to the Department of Commerce and allowing more merchants to believe in the Department of Commerce, Li Zexuan also has a little selfishness, that is, his family now They have all moved to the Hou Mansion in Yong'an Square, including Lan Er and Han Yuxi, they all moved in the first two days! Li Zexuan didn't want the rogues in the city to affect his family!
Although people in the Hou Mansion usually have entourages or guards when they go out, who can guarantee that they will have guards every time they go out? What if you encounter some rogues who don't open your eyes when you are not guarded?
So instead of defending against day and night, it is better to give all the main evil forces in the city to one pot. In this way, the little scum fish that slipped through the net will stop for a long, long time without a chance to continue. For evil! !
"The official, remember the teachings of Lord Hou!"
He county magistrate arched his hands towards Li Zexuan and responded.
Li Zexuan nodded, and then asked: "How is the progress of the construction of the canals in the county? How is the installation of the waterwheels?"
It was about mid-May when I looked at it. Seeing the hotter weather this day, Li Zexuan couldn't say that he was anxious, it was impossible!
He county magistrate replied with a little excitement: "Hou Ye, with the joint efforts of the people of the county, the construction of cement ditches in our county has basically come to an end. As for the placement of waterwheels at key nodes The work, there are only less than five waterwheels that have not been installed yet! It is expected that at the latest the day after tomorrow, the reservoir will be able to open the gates to release water and check whether our canals and waterwheels can operate normally!"
"So fast?"
Li Zexuan raised his eyebrows, very surprised.
count the days, it's only ten days! The cement ditch in a county is almost finished? The progress of this project~IndoMTL.com~ makes countless modern people feel a little ashamed!
He county magistrate smiled:
" Lord Hou, you don’t know. The people of Lantian County became motivated to repair the canal immediately after they learned that you built a waterwheel that can transport water automatically. Men, women, young and old, regardless of age Big and small, all joined the team to build the canal.
Even if they can’t get paid, those people are still willing to help repair the canal! In addition, some Zhuangzi even adopted the work mechanism of two shifts during the day and night in order to catch up with the work. It is precisely because the villagers on the various Zhuangzi are desperately rushing to work that the project progress is so fast today! "
The current situation is thanks to the news in the "Datang Daily" a few days ago, which completely inspired all the people to build a canal! Compared with the number of people previously reported to the county government, the number of people who are now repairing canals is three times the previous number!
is so active and has such a choice to accumulate power.
Li Zexuan smiled satisfied: "Okay! Very good! Once the canal is completed, immediately send someone to notify the benefactor! Time is not waiting, our county must start diverting water as soon as possible!"
"The official follow the order~!"
Hu Dianshi, Sun Butou, Mengxiancheng, Wangxianwei, Zhang Zhubu and others saluted and responded.
