More than 1,300 taels of silver, in the eyes of Qian deaf old dog, Heshen and Zhongtang, I'm afraid it's nothing.

Compared with the figure of 80,000 taels, to say that these more than 1,300 taels of silver is a drop in the bucket is probably an insult to Heshen and Zhongtang.

But these more than 1,300 taels of silver were enough for Xu Yaozong and Xu Daxian, the magistrate, to go to the execution ground.

Ke Zhiming continued to report Xu Yaozong's information: "Xu Yaozong, whose ancestral home is Lanling, was born in Qian De's 28th year and Qian De's 33rd year. Both his parents died and he grew up eating food from hundreds of families."

"In the 48th year of Qian De's reign, after Xu Yaozong learned the news that His Majesty had launched an army, he took the initiative to join the army in Yuhuang Mountain and participated in the Battle of Anjiazhuang, the Second Anti-Mingxing Encirclement and Suppression War, the Battle of Denglai, and the Battle of Jinan Prefecture.

war until he was discharged due to injuries after the Cochin War.”

"According to the provisions of "Da Ming Law, Military Law, and Retirement", Xu Yaozong was placed as a county official in Yongcheng County after his retirement, and served as the commander of the Yongcheng County Police Uniform Guard. He later solved many cases and was promoted to Yongcheng County in the ninth year of the Holy Emperor's reign.

County magistrate."

"Before this, Xu Yaozong had no record of corruption. When he first took office, he kept himself clean and never accepted any banquets. The root of the change was that the Holy Emperor married a wife in the first month of his tenth year."

"According to the information reported by Jinyiwei, Xu Yaozong's wife is the daughter of Gao Daqian, a wealthy local man. It was only after he married his wife that Xu Yaozong had a close relationship with Gao Daqian, and he used his position to take advantage of Gao Daqian many times.

Conveniently, all the money he coveted was given to Xu Yaozong by Gao Dajin for various reasons after getting the convenience, and the remaining eight hundred taels were accepted by Xu Yaozong's wife."

"Some of those antiques, calligraphy and paintings were dowry from Xu Yaozong's wife, and some were gifts from Gao Dajin later."

"The inspection of the Censor's Yamen in Yongcheng and the Censor's Yamen in Guide Mansion once called Xu Yaozong for questioning, but Xu Yaozong insisted that the conveniences he had done for Gao Daqian before were within the provisions of the Ming Dynasty law, and accepting Gao Daqian's money cannot be considered a crime.

Corruption.”

"In addition, Xu Yaozong's attitude when inspecting the Censor's Yamen in Yongcheng and Guide's Censor's Yamen was extremely arrogant and bad. He claimed that he had followed His Majesty in a bloody battle against the Jianqi, but now he was suspected of corruption by the Censor's Yamen.

I have shouted several times that I want to go to Beijing to redress my grievances."

"It is precisely because of this concern that the inspection censors' Yamen of Yongcheng and Guide Prefecture have not initiated any action. They only asked the Jinyi guards stationed in Yongcheng to help collect evidence of Xu Yaozong's corruption."

Zhu Jinsong hummed expressionlessly, then asked: "What about tall and tight ones?"

Ke Zhiming bowed and said: "Gao Dajin, his ancestral home is Yongcheng. He was born in Qian De's second year. He passed the national examination in his thirty-third year. He has a son named Gao Xiaosong. He was born in Qian's thirty-eighth year and has a daughter. Qian De's forty-third year.

Year-old."

"The ancestors of Gao Dajin once produced Jinshi. They have been farming and studying for generations. The family is quite prosperous. Over several generations, they have accumulated a lot of land."

"Before His Majesty entered Guide Mansion, Gao Dajian took the initiative to sell all his family's property to the tenants. Faced with the situation that the tenants had no food left, Gao Dajong took the initiative to lend money to the tenants without charging interest. For a time, he was rumored to be Gao Dajin.

A good man, after Guidefu was restored and the Peasants' Association began to attack the evil gentry, Gao Da stayed close to the tenants' protection and hid."

"After marrying his daughter to Xu Yaozong, Gao Dajian started a workshop. In addition, Gao Dajong proposed to change the working time of four hours to five hours, and pay double wages for the extra hour.

"

"With Gao Dajin taking the lead, other workshops throughout Yongcheng have also begun to respond. In addition, Xu Yaozong is also preparing to petition for action. Now there is a deep conflict between the people of Yongcheng and the trade unions."

Hearing this, Zhu Jinsong's face slowly darkened, and he sneered and said no more.

I have to admit, this tall and tight move is indeed very clever.

Does the court agree or disagree with this method of play?

Agreeing means making a concession on behalf of the court.

Assets have always been like this. As long as they are given a small opening, they will dare to poke a huge hole in it.

Once the court made concessions and agreed to extend the working hours by increasing wages, they would then find ways to take up more rest time.

If the court gives in again, it is estimated that they should find a way to lower wages, find a way to turn double-wage overtime into free overtime, and then take up more rest time for workers. Next, they should reach out to the court.

.

The problem is, if the court disagrees with Gao Dajian and Xu Yaozu's proposal, they will change their face - look, we are all willing to increase wages, but the court does not agree. The court does not allow you to make more money. This is not possible.

Blame us.

What affected was the image of the imperial court in the hearts of the people.

But if you think about it from another angle, you will know what the heck these assets are.

Why double wages to induce workers to increase working hours?

Because this can save labor costs and compress the same amount of work to fewer workers.

What's even more fucked up is that this seemingly fair gameplay is tantamount to chronic bloodletting for the court - originally the same workload could support a hundred workers, but after overtime was implemented, it could only support 100 workers.

If you feed eighty workers, what will you do with the twenty extra workers?

Does the asset care about the life and death of these twenty workers?

Won't.

Everything was covered up by the higher income of those eighty workers than before.

The eighty workers whose incomes have increased will loyally support this overtime system, while mocking the twenty workers who have been abandoned, and even openly accuse the twenty workers of not wanting to make progress and will always be salty fish.

If you lie down, you will never have the chance to live a good life in this life.

Of course, the existence of assets is not useless. In addition to sucking blood, assets are still useful in promoting productivity.

Zhu Jinsong never thought of killing all the assets with one blow, but for the capital that wanted to ride on the court in turn, he had to kill it with one blow.

If we don't kill them, these bastards will become more and more courageous in the future. They will reach out to the last penny in the people's pockets, they will reach into the court, and they will pour dirty water on them.

On the court.

It wasn't until he wandered along the way to the county seat of Yongcheng County that Zhu Jinsong asked: "Are you all ready?"

Ke Zhiming cupped his hands and replied: "Your Majesty, everything is ready. The Jinyi Guards' manpower has been lurking around the county government office, the Tiandihui men have also been prepared near Gaoda Jinjia, and a thousand imperial guards have also entered the city.

"

Zhu Jinsong hummed and took the lead in the direction of the county government office. When he arrived in front of the county government office, he picked up the drumstick and beat the grievance drum.

If you really think about it, the Ming Dynasty's grievances were more of a display - although the county magistrate was the head of a county, he was no longer responsible for money, food, punishment, corvee and other messy things. He was more in charge of the whole county.

In the government affairs of the entire county, as for those who want to redress their grievances or report a crime, they usually go directly to the police uniform and guard yamen. No one will go to the county yamen to complain about grievances.

Therefore, when Zhu Jinsong banged the grievance drum vigorously, the entire Yongcheng County government office was alarmed. The government officials hurriedly came out to stand on duty. Xu Yaozong and Xu Dazhi also hurriedly changed into the official uniform of the county magistrate and began to prepare for promotion to the court.

.

The gavel had just been struck, and before I had time to ask who was in the hall, Xu Yaozong, the magistrate of Xu Daxian County, who was well-known in Yongcheng County, rolled down from the lobby and ran to Zhu Jinsong.

The person standing next to him shouted: "The boss!"

This sound of being a master reminded Zhu Jinsong of his days at Yuhuang Mountain and Meng Lianggu.

The Xu Yaozong in front of him was one of the first batch of old brothers who came to Yuhuang Mountain to defect to him, and Zhu Jinsong had some impression of him.

But the more impressive it was, the deeper the anger in Zhu Jinsong's heart became.

"Okay, okay, okay!"

Zhu Jinsong gritted his teeth and squeezed out three good words from his heels, then slapped Xu Yaozong on the face and cursed: "You are a loser!"

Xu Yaozong was stunned at that time. He covered his face and was stunned for a long time before he asked stupidly: "Master, what did I do wrong? You old man, please calm down, don't get angry."

Zhu Jinsong became even more angry. He kicked Xu Yaozong to the ground, and then started kicking him shamelessly: "You idiot, what did you do wrong? You didn't do anything wrong!"

"You idiot, when you ran to the Jade Emperor Mountain, you kept saying that you would follow us to fight against the Jianlu, and in the future you would make all the people in the world live a good life. Do you still remember this?"

"You bastard, I asked you to join the army, and you have never been short of rewards for your hard work. You can't fight anymore. The imperial court has placed you in a local place as a commander of police uniforms. You can't say that.

I and the imperial court have treated you poorly!"

"But you are lucky, you are a bitch, and this is how you become an official for me? Is this what you mean by letting the common people live a good life?"

Xu Yaozong curled up into a ball, protecting his head with both hands, and shouted while being beaten: "No, the boss, you killed the younger one, and the younger one didn't even complain, but why did you tell the younger one?

"

Zhu Jinsong stopped angrily, looked at Xu Yaozong and said, "Get up!"

Xu Yaozong continued to hold his head and shouted: "I can't get up! If you want to beat the boss, give it a good beating. Don't get angry again because of the little one. I just ask you to tell the little one what the reason for this beating today is?"

Zhu Jinsong snorted coldly, but let Xu Yaozong lie on the ground like this. He just asked angrily: "I ask you, are you a bitch married to a daughter-in-law? Is your father-in-law tall and tight?"

Seeing that Zhu Jinsong stopped kicking, Xu Yaozong climbed up from the ground and said with a playful smile: "How did the head of the family know? Thanks to the great blessing of the head of the family, my father-in-law's family is engaged in farming and studying, and my daughter-in-law also has a good-looking child.

He is also learned and can marry a wife like this, and my ancestral graves will be filled with green smoke."

There was a pop, but it was Zhu Jinsong who kicked Xu Yaozong down again: "There's still smoke coming out? I'm afraid your ancestral graves are filled with fucking smoke! You fool, why can't you understand such a nice thing?

!”

After scolding, Zhu Jinsong simply asked Ke Zhiming to bring a stool over. After sitting on the stool, he glared at Xu Yaozong and said, "I ask you, are you planning to go to court and ask the workshop owner to allow the workshop owner to increase wages for an extended period of time?"

What are the workers’ working hours?”

Xu Yaozong replied blankly: "Yes, how did you know that, the boss? I figured that regardless of what the workshop owner thinks, at least the workers can make more money and buy two more pieces of meat for the children.

Eat, isn’t this good?”

"By the way, my father-in-law remembered this, and luckily..."

Speaking of this, Xu Yaozong suddenly stopped.

Zhu Jinsong sneered and said: "Thank you for what? Go on, I'm still waiting to hear it!"

Xu Yaozong thought that I was a little stupid, but that was also in front of you, the boss, and I am not stupid.
Chapter completed!
