"Hey! Have you heard of it? The Jinshi Gang in the southwest of the county seat was given to a pot by the yamen of the county government yesterday afternoon~!"
"What? Did Jin Wanbiao catch him?"
"Caught! Caught! It is said that all fifty-eight members of the Jinshi Gang have been arrested in the county jail!"
"Great! Great! The people of the Jinshi Gang have done all the bad things, and Jin Wanbiao is even more cruel by nature. I don't know how many merchants have been blackmailed by him! They should have been arrested long ago!"
"Don't you want to arrest Jin Wanbiao before when you were magistrate? Isn't that no evidence?"
"What's the matter? Is there evidence this time?"
"Hey! This time is different! This time, the leader of the team is not the head of the county government, but the guards of the Hou's mansion. Even if he lent him ten courageous Jin Wanbiao, he wouldn't dare to say anything more!"
"Huh! It seems that Lord Hou can't stand these bullies!"
"Isn't it? And I heard that the Chengbei Canghai Gang was also wiped out yesterday afternoon! Although their gang leader Tsunami Tian was not as nasty as Jin Wanbiao, he also received a lot of protection fees from merchants!"
"It's far more than that! Except for these two major gangs, many gangsters in the city were all arrested yesterday afternoon. I have a nephew who is working in the yamen. I heard that the county yamen's cell is already overcrowded. Hu Dianshi, it is said that he didn't sleep a night last night!"
"Huh! It's such an exaggeration! It seems that the Marquis really did it! Otherwise, no one would be able to use such a thunderous method to wipe out all the gangsters in Lantian County!"
"No wonder yesterday afternoon, the Sifang City Gate of Lantian County was suddenly closed! It turns out that Lord Hou wants to completely remove these cancers in the city! Now that these rogues are gone, I feel that the city's security is much better!"
"And have you noticed that there are more teams of yamen patrolling the streets in the market today? I don't know if they are only patrolling in the last few days, or they will patrol like this in the future. If it is the latter, then there will be no more patrols in the market. There will be local ruffians extorting merchant protection fees!"
"Haha! What did I say yesterday? This business department established by the county government is definitely a good thing for us businessmen! Although the business tax is paid more than before, there is no bully like Jin Wanbiao and Tsunami Tian to extort protection fees. , the money saved is enough to pay the business tax! What's more, in addition to the priority supply of the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce, the merchants in Lantian County can also go to the county school to study. Overall, it is definitely a good thing. !"
"That's right! If you do business in other prefectures and counties, you will also be blackmailed by bullies like Jin Wanbiao. The monthly expenses combined may not be less than the expenses of opening a shop in Lantian County! So Ah, the department of commerce of the county government, I support it from the bottom of my heart! Just this time, Lord Chong cleaned up the bullies in the city and gave us a bad breath. I, Jin Fugui, have to support Lord Hou. ~!"
"Yes, yes~! You must support Lord Hou~!"
Day two.
The people of Lantian County who got up early couldn't help but talk in groups of three or five. The focus of the topic was naturally the Lantian County Skynet action yesterday!
The merchants who were dissatisfied with the Department of Commerce and the new commercial tax law have changed their attitudes and began to talk about the good news of the Department of Commerce!
"Go and see! The county government has posted a new notice!"
Coincidentally, at this moment, someone ran over and shouted.
"New notice? It must be related to Jin Wanbiao's bullies! Let's go! Let's go and see!"
I don't know who called, and immediately, the merchants and the common people walked quickly in the direction of the county office in groups of three or five!
In front of the billboard at the entrance of the county government office, there were already twenty or thirty people surrounded, and a scholar read while watching: "Members of the Jinshi Gang and Canghai Gang, in recent months, have been blackmailing merchants, Asked for protection money, and was guilty of wounding, arson and other crimes. After being tried by the county government, the person confessed to the crime. The county magistrate decided to sell these people to the distribution mine and serve three years in prison! The leaders of the two major gangs were directly exiled Qiongzhou!
From now on, if anyone dares to extort merchants, the county government will punish them severely! And in order to maintain the security of the city, there will be yamen patrolling every day in the city, and at the same time, the city will also strengthen patrols to ensure that the merchants have a good business environment, and that the people have a stable living environment! "
A careful examination of the relevant laws of the Tang and Song dynasties shows that the longest sentence in these two dynasties generally does not exceed three years. shall be sentenced to two years in prison. The laws of the Tang and Song dynasties set three years as the upper limit of the sentence, and divided them into five levels of criminal law from one to three years.
The reason why there are no longer prison sentences is mainly because the population in ancient times would not be as large as in modern times, and human resources or anything like that would not be as worthless as in modern society. In this era, everyone is a very precious labor force for the development of production and farming and weaving operations. Once the prisoners are detained widely and for a long time, it will have a great impact on the production operations of the whole society.
Moreover, fixed-term imprisonment in this era cannot be confined to 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 plus labor reform practiced in modern society!
Therefore, the county government's punishment for the local gangsters arrested yesterday is still very heavy!
"It's great! It's great! No one in the market will dare to charge protection fees in the future!"
"
Lord Hou is really considering me and other merchants! This business department is well built! "
"That's right! You can do business with peace of mind in the future! Although there are a lot of business taxes, the old man is willing to pay!"
"No! The old man also has to buy a shop in Lantian County. Who wants to resell the shop? The price is easy to negotiate!"
After seeing the notice at the entrance of the county government office, the people and merchants finally fully saw the determination of the county government office to rectify the law and order in Lantian County. The merchants were all relieved and rejoiced!
"Hey? Isn't that Boss Cao from Chang'an City? Why did he bring so many cars here? What's in that car?"
"Don't you know if you go and ask? Boss Cao is still very good at talking!"
When everyone was talking about it, they caught a glimpse of a convoy on the road to the west of the county government. The leader was Cao Wendong, the largest cloth merchant in Chang'an City! Seeing that Cao Wendong came to Lantian County with so many carriages, the people at the gate of the county government couldn't help but talk about it.
Naturally, someone with audacity and good deeds stepped forward to ask: "Boss Cao, what are you going to do when you are making a move?"
Cao Wendong didn't put on airs, he said with a smile: "Cao heard yesterday that Lantian County has established a Commerce Department, which treats merchants, commoners and craftsmen equally, and the children of merchants can also participate in the county school, which makes Cao very excited! Because of the Department of Commerce, we businessmen will no longer suffer from scorn and bullying! So after thinking about it, I plan to completely move my family to Lantian County. Anyway, there are several shops of Cao Mou in this city, so I can take advantage of this. Let the dog enter the county school!"
When the Yanhuang Academy was not established last year, Cao Wendong approached Li Zexuan several times, wanting the latter to set up a chamber of commerce and help businessmen improve their social status. At that time, Li Zexuan rejected his request due to personal reasons. Later, Li Zexuan established himself. After joining the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce, although Cao Wendong also joined the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce, the status of businessmen in society has not changed!
In any place, businessmen are lowly pariahs, despised existences!
Now Li Zexuan intends to set up a Commerce Department in Lantian County, which is specially used to protect the social status and interests of businessmen, and it is clear that the status and class of businessmen are no different from ordinary people. After getting the news, Cao Wendong was very happy, and then quickly cleaned up After cleaning up, the family moved directly to Lantian County!
After all, Lantian County can be regarded as the only and possibly the last piece of pure land for the businessmen of Datang! Only here can businessmen get fair and just social treatment and social status, and can get the opportunity to enter the county school. In Cao Wendong's view, these two are good things that cannot be exchanged for money.” "ah!
"What? Boss Cao? Are you moving to Lantian County~?"
After listening to Cao Wendong's words, the merchants couldn't help exclaiming one by one.
Cao Wendong smiled lightly: "What? Doesn't it look like it? The old man has already built a mansion in Lantian County, right in Yonganfang, so he can be a close neighbor of the Hou Ye!"
"But Boss Cao, what should you do in the cloth workshop in Chang'an City?"
Then someone asked again.
Cao Wendong said indifferently: "Then consider it as a branch store. In the future, the Cao family's store in Lantian County will be the main store!"
When everyone heard the words, they immediately looked at each other in dismay. After all, although the scale of urban business in Lantian County has grown many times than before, compared with Chang'an City, Lantian County is still far behind! But 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 willful!
………………………………
"Now that most of the gangsters in the city have been captured, the Department of Commerce will officially begin 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. The stable and stable Lantian County will be really difficult to manage once the chaos begins again!"
The Queen's Office of Lantian County, Li Zexuan said to all the officials in the county office.
Yesterday, he asked Liu Feng to take the lead to help the county government arrest people. It was indeed Li Zexuan's instruction. Although he failed to arrest all the rogues in the city, most of the rogues he arrested can at least be shocking. The effect makes those Xiaoxiao who have slipped through the net not dare to do things in the city again!
Of course, the reason why he chose this time to rectify the law and order in Lantian County, in addition to giving credibility to the Department of Commerce and making more merchants trust the Department of Commerce, Li Zexuan also has a small selfishness, that is, his family has now all moved We arrived at the Hou Mansion in Yonganfang, including Laner and Han Yuxi, who all moved here two days ago! Li Zexuan didn't want those rascals in the city to affect his family!
Although people in the Hou Mansion usually have followers or guards when they go out, who can guarantee that they will be accompanied by guards every time they go out? How bad would it be if you encountered some unsightly rogues when there were no guards?
Therefore, instead of guarding against day and night, it is better to directly bring all the main evil forces in the city to one pot. In this way, those little scum fish that slip through the net will stop for a long, long time, and there is no chance to continue to be evil! !
"Xiaguan, remember Hou Ye's teachings!"
The magistrate He bowed his hands to Li Zexuan and replied.
Li Zexuan nodded and asked again: "How is the construction progress of the canal in the county? How is the installation progress of the waterwheel?"
It's almost mid-May now. Seeing that the weather is getting hotter every day, Li Zexuan said in his heart that he is not in a hurry, that is impossible!
The magistrate He handed over excitedly and replied, "Master Hou.
, With the joint efforts of the people in 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, there are only less than five waterwheels left. Installation is complete! It is expected that at the latest the day after tomorrow, the reservoir will be able to open the gates to release water, and test whether our canals and waterwheels can operate normally! "
"So fast?"
Li Zexuan raised his eyebrows, surprised.
Counting the days, it's only been ten days! A county's cement ditch is almost finished? The progress of this project has made countless modern people feel a little ashamed!
The county magistrate laughed and said:
"Master Hou, you don't know something. After the people of Lantian County learned that you built a waterwheel that can transport water automatically, the enthusiasm for repairing the canal suddenly came up. Men, women and children, regardless of age, all All joined the team to build the canal.
Even if they don't get paid, those people are still willing to help repair the canal! In addition, some Zhuangzi even adopted a working mechanism of two shifts in the day and night in order to rush work. "
In this situation, thanks to the news on the "Datang Daily" a few days ago, it completely inspired the enthusiasm of all the people to build the canal! Compared with the number reported to the county government before, the number of people who are now building the canal is three times more than before!
Hearing this, Li Zexuan smiled with satisfaction: "Okay! Very good! Once the canal is completed, send someone to notify Ben Hou! Time waits for no one, our county must start diverting water as soon as possible!"
"Subordinate to the order~!"
Hu Dianshi, Sun Zhaotou, Meng Xiancheng, Wang Xianwei, Zhang Zhuzhu and others saluted and responded.
