My Wife is a Counsel Chapter 50: Change the soup without changing the medicine
www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of My Wife is an Archon!
Four coal wells, about a hundred acres of land, highlands and hills, are surrounded by a two-person high barbed wire fence. Although it is not like a large coal mine with a bunker or something like that, miners have to be searched all over when they come in and out. No cinders can be taken out.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, hundreds of coal black men gathered in front of a row of wooden houses in the mining area. The wooden houses were the office areas of the managers.
More than a dozen mutilated, non-human black workers have been sent to the health center. These miners have a faint feeling that something terrible is going to happen.
The gray-haired old man standing on a wooden pile wearing a short-sleeved shirt and shouting at the top of his lungs was Liu Sili's father Liu Jingtang.
"Mr. Lu is committed to building a civilized and humane mining area! Implement a safe underground system! Distribute sufficient safety labor protection supplies!"
The miners were all confused and had no idea what Accountant Liu was talking about.
Lu Ming, who was standing on a higher wooden pile, was helpless, but it seemed that although the miners did not understand, they still followed this trick. Civilized people like Mr. Liu spoke incomprehensibly, and they were too stupid to understand. But everyone will respect Mr. Liu.
Liu Jingtang’s speech finally came to an end, “Come, we welcome Mr. Lu to give us a speech! Everyone applauds!”
The miners immediately applauded enthusiastically. The new big boss at least seemed much nicer than Brigadier Hu. He didn’t ask whose wife was pretty when he first came to the mine.
"Manager Liu has said everything I want to say, so I will just say a few words!" Lu Ming raised his voice slightly, "After I come, there will be a change. Everyone's income will definitely be higher than before. Months, if you are over fourteen years old, you will get a bonus of two yuan, and if you are under fourteen years old, you will get a bonus of one yuan.”
Lu Ming does not want to use child labor, but the current situation is that if you do not use child labor, it will interrupt the livelihood of many people, some families will be unable to make ends meet and go bankrupt, and younger children will even starve to death.
Everything can only be done slowly.
"What is a bonus? It means that as long as you do not leave early or be late as before, and complete the normal workload, you can get a bonus of two yuan. In addition, there is a floating bonus to reward monthly performance. Excellent workers, ranging from 1 to 3 yuan."
Seeing the confusion on the faces of most of the miners, Lu Ming said with a smile: "To put it simply, if everyone works hard as before, their salary will be increased by 2 yuan per month for those over 14 years old, and 1 yuan for those under 14 years old. ! ”
"Okay!" "Okay!" The miners immediately clapped excitedly, "Mr. Lu is a good man!" "Mr. Lu is a kind man!"
"Mr. Lu, have mercy!" The person who took the lead in shouting this was probably the foreman who had a little ink and half a bottle of water.
Liu Jingtang's slightly hoarse voice shouted again: "Okay, the section chiefs will stay, and everyone else can disperse, and don't leave the mining area. Mr. Lu will officially open the mine tomorrow and will invite many dignitaries from the county. There will also be firecrackers, everyone comes, the more lively the better, tonight there is a special dish for the mine opening, pork stewed vermicelli! Enough! ”
"Okay!" "Okay!" bursts of cheers broke out immediately, and the eyes of the miners, big and small, turned green.
If you talk about a salary increase or something, many big bosses will write a bad check, and it may not always happen in the end, but the mining meal, stewed pork vermicelli and steamed buns, is enough. This will not be fake, and the bosses will If you want to be lucky, you will not cheat on mining vegetables.
Lu Ming smiled bitterly when he saw this scene. It might be a salary increase or something like that, but it would be better to give them a pound of pork every month to make them more secure and happy. Although it costs 2 yuan, in Longgang, it can buy 10 yuan. That’s a lot of pounds of pork.
……
In the wooden house, Lu Ming and Liu Jingtang drank tea and chatted casually.
"Mr. Lu, do you really have to pay all the medical expenses for those illegal workers?" Liu Jingtang looked at Lu Ming in surprise and admiration.
"Advance payment!" Lu Ming smiled: "The county will not issue a wanted order, but will also search all of Hu Ergou's property? When the time comes, just reimburse me from the seized property."
Liu Jingtang nodded, thinking that there are people outside the world.
For a bully like Brigadier Hu, he never expected that within a day of meeting Mr. Lu, he would become a wanted criminal.
In the morning, he also instigated his miners to besiege Mr. Lu. By the afternoon, the county office had issued a wanted order and documents to seize his property.
Now Si Li is leading people to seize his residence.
"Mr. Lu, will you leave tomorrow after presiding over the mining ceremony?" Liu Jingtang hesitated to speak.
Lu Ming smiled and said: "Yes, I can't do anything about my business in the East China Sea without me. If you come back in a while, it's all your fault, Uncle Liu. With you here, I can rest assured. In addition, there will be ten shots tomorrow." The muskets will be sent over, and Blackhead will stay to train the miners and their families on how to use the guns, and select loyal and reliable ones. There will always be a ten-person mine protection team, so there should be no trouble."
Liu Jingtang was worried about the safety of the mine. He smiled and said, "Mr. Lu has thought of everything. The old man has nothing to worry about except helping Mr. Lu with his heart."
Lu Ming glanced at Liu Jingtang and smiled: "Uncle Liu, I heard that when the Jingyang Mine was first discovered more than 20 years ago, you helped the first mine owner run it? As for the current Jingyang Mine, You should know it well, right?”
The Jingyang Mine is the largest coal mine outside the four major coal mines in Longgang. The coal seam is extremely shallow, but it was discovered the latest. Mining began more than 20 years ago, and now it uses open-pit mining.
Jingyang Town is also a town established in Longgang County ten years ago. It is in the easternmost part of Longgang, and further east is the Heishan Mountains.
After decades, bandits broke out again in the Montenegro Mountains.
It seems that today’s Jingyang Mine pays monthly tribute money to bandits for the sake of safety.
Liu Jingtang listened to Lu Ming talk about the Jingyang Mine and sighed deeply, "My old employer was good, and we were very harmonious as guests and hosts back then. But later, when a new major shareholder came in, the accounting office must let his people go, then He and I had to quarrel every day, and I knew they were trying to get rid of me, but at that time I just couldn't keep my temper, so I resigned angrily. Speaking of which, I felt sorry for my employer."
His eyes flickered, as if he was recalling many past events, and he sighed: "I still communicate with him occasionally. When the province changed its governor five years ago, the major shareholder who had forced the investment withdrew his shares, and my employer almost went bankrupt. , I just redeemed the major shareholder’s shares. It’s not enough if I don’t redeem them. You said, alas..." Liu Jingtang shook his head.
After a pause, he added: "Now my old friend has not recovered yet. In the past two years, he has to give half of his income to bandits again. My old friend is not in good health. Last time His correspondence seems to say that most of the affairs of the coal mine have been left to his younger daughter-in-law, who is very capable and can barely survive in all aspects."
"His daughter-in-law's name is He Mojun. She has a very bookish name. She went to school at first glance, so I remembered it. I hope that there will be a successor to my old friend's family!"
Lu Ming nodded and was slightly startled, He Mojun? He has the same name as his ex-sister-in-law. Four years ago, after his eldest brother fell into the lake while drunk, his eldest sister-in-law remarried, but she probably married to Linxian County.
Nowadays, new women in the north all choose names such as Aijun, and the name Mojun is also very common.
Liu Jingtang hesitated for a moment and said after careful consideration: "Mr. Lu, will you stay in the county next time you come? The old man is lying. Just listen to it. I think you should have a place to stay in this town. , you are the boss, you should come back often."
Lu Ming smiled and said: "Uncle Liu is right. I originally wanted to buy a house in this town. Now is the right time. Won't Hu Ergou's house be sealed up? After a while, I saw Sili and said to him, Just sell the house to me at the market price. In this way, when he pays the property seized by fugitives to the county treasury, he can still be commended and do things cleanly."
Liu Jingtang was stunned, this was a good idea, that is, "Mr. Lu, you don't have any taboos..." Liu Jingtang praised.
Lu Ming smiled: "There is nothing taboo about the punishment of a little gangster!"
"Oh, Cao Cao will be here soon!" Lu Ming raised his head and smiled.
Outside the wooden house, Liu Sili was striding over. Judging from his walking posture, he had become more confident than in the morning.
……
Brigadier Hu’s residence is extremely prominent among the earthen huts and huts in the town. It is a large courtyard surrounded by tall blue brick walls. The black wooden door on the stone steps has a huge door knocker. Under the steps, on both sides, are two ferocious beasts. stone lion.
There are two wing rooms in the east and west, and six main rooms. Entering into the main room, there is a main room in the east and west. Going inside the main room, there are three more inner rooms.
Today, the high-hanging tile lamps in the courtyard are bright, and many women and children are cleaning every room and flushing it with clean water.
Lu Ming was wandering around inside, followed by a buck-toothed woman, Zhang Agou's mother-in-law, also named Zhang.
Heitou will live here temporarily, and Mrs. Zhang will cook and clean the room for her. The salary is 6 yuan a month, which is the same salary as an adult worker in the past.
She found all these women and children who came to clean up the house. She cleaned up the house in one night and found a dozen women and children for 1 yuan each. Where can she find such a generous job? Therefore, everyone worked extremely hard. When they saw Lu Ming, they all stood aside and bowed their heads in silence.
In the woodshed in the west wing, women's curses could be heard from time to time, but no one paid attention to them, but they seemed to be a little afraid of the people inside and stayed away.
It was Hu Ergou's mistress Wang, the head of a secret prostitution house in Longgang. However, she was getting older and older, and Hu Ergou was getting rich, so he brought her to Sansha Town.
Now that he has been arrested, there is no place to lock him up in the town office, so he is temporarily locked in the woodshed here.
When Liu Sili's seized property is sorted out, he will be escorted to the county together.
Lu Ming ignored her, and Lei Bao and Hei Feng stayed nearby. If Hu Ergou came to rescue his mistress, he would be captured.
"Master, let me tell you, such a **** should be stripped naked and paraded through the streets!" Sister-in-law Zhang said through gritted teeth, "Later, we will clean up Wei Chunli's little prodigal hoof!"
Lu Ming was stunned, but didn't say anything.
……
The mining ceremony on the second day was grand and grand, and almost everyone from the county office came.
It was reported that after receiving the Sansha Coal Mine, Mr. Lu Xiao, a relative of Director Gong, returned to the East China Sea. Many people were naturally relieved and happy.
Mr. Lu also left Sansha Town in the afternoon. What puzzled the people in the town was that Miss Hei, the attendant left behind by Mr. Lu, originally said that Mrs. Zhang was his helper, but in the end, she died instead. Wei San's young wife. And just last night, Wei San's young wife had her hair cut off and tied to a tree by a group of people. She had dog feces thrown at her and **** on her. When people were clamoring to take off her clothes, Miss Hei came. He rescued her, and then Mrs. Wei became Miss Hei's maid.
……
The private room of the Friendship Hotel in Longgang County.
The middle-aged man in a long gown sitting opposite Lu Ming is called Li Yulong, who is Li Youmei's distant cousin.
Working as a foreman in Jordan Coal Mine is considered a good job in Longgang County.
Lu Ming sipped the tea and sighed softly in his heart. When the people are not enlightened, the upper ruling class often changes the soup without changing the medicine. In fact, sometimes, it is a last resort.
Sister-in-law Zhang, for example, has no sense of propriety at all and has been suppressed for too long. She really became a black-headed maid. In Sansha Town, even if she immediately becomes a straight-talking person, her ferocious and domineering energy will be worse than the Hu before. The wives of the brigade commander's gang were even worse. The original wives were more or less educated and had seen the world, but Mrs. Zhang could only act according to her instinctive likes and dislikes.
Let’s talk about Wei Chunli. She had attended a school in the county for a few years and was occupied by Wei San. She was originally a pitiful and docile person, but as soon as Wei San died, she became the target of arbitrary bullying. It seemed that Wei Chunli was San's fear will now come back and be vented on her.
However, Wang, who is always domineering, still has some power, and many people are still afraid of her.
Although most of the time, bullies and even relatives of some criminals are never completely innocent, at least they have received great benefits, and some combinations of ancient punishments are not unreasonable.
However, specific cases still need to be analyzed in detail, let alone saying that relatives and criminals are equally guilty.
In Sansha Town, I have already made plans to build a primary school for the children of miners, but many changes do not happen overnight.
Thinking about it, Lu Ming shook his head.
Li Yulong is talking about the situation in Jordan Coal Mine.
The cousin's letter said that Mr. Lu was a high-ranking figure in the East China Sea.
You know, Mr. Lu may have become interested in Jordan Coal Mine after seeing him.
The current situation at the Jordan Coal Mine is really not very good. Within three or two days, the Montenegro Mining Bureau came down and notified it to stop work for rectification.
It seems that after Commander Hu from the provincial capital occupied the Nanping Mine, one of the four major coal mines, he set his sights on the Jordan Coal Mine.
The boss is also stubborn, but does not agree with his investment.
Li Yulong sighed inwardly and did not hide anything. He told Mr. Lu everything in detail.
Lu Ming listened silently.
There were footsteps outside the private room, and Uncle Sun said softly: "Young Master, this is the messenger sent by Director Gong."
Lu Ming responded, and Uncle Sun came in with a letter.
After taking it apart, it turned out that it was indeed Master Gong's handwriting. It was said that Hu Dewang, the secretary-general of the Montenegro City Government, called him and asked him to withdraw the arrest warrant against Hu Ergou and re-investigate Hu Ergou's case.
Master Gong said that he had quickly written a formal reply and rejected the other party's request.
Lu Ming looked at the letter and nodded. It seems that Brigadier Hu can still have some relationship with the Hu family. Moreover, if he is soft-eared, he will definitely feel that Brigadier Hu is just using a tiger skin as a banner. But that was also under the banner of the Hu family, and now their home is being searched and wanted, and the Hu family's faces don't look good.
He raised his head and glanced at Li Yulong, "Yulong, thank you for today. Come on, let's have a drink. I'll have to trouble you later." Lu Ming smiled and raised his glass.
Li Yulong hurriedly held the cup with both hands, stood up and drank it all in one gulp, "If Mr. Lu has anything to do in the future, just ask me to do it."
