When Nanjing was in chaos, Wang Shouren, the chief envoy of South Zhili, was inspecting here in Songhu.
"Songhu has changed so much~"
¡°When I first came here, it was still a mulberry field, but in a blink of an eye it turned into a high-rise building and a huge industrial area.¡±
Wang Shouren stood on a high-rise building in Songhu and overlooked Songhu.
The changes in Songhu in front of us are very big. It can be said that it is changing with each passing day. There are a large number of factories and workshops, spacious cement roads extending in all directions, and a large number of ships moored at the docks on both sides of the Huangpu River. It is very busy and prosperous, especially The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and a large number of factories here in Songhu have paid workers a year's wages and year-end bonuses.
Workers who hold a lot of money in their hands naturally want to buy a lot of money when they go home for the New Year, so that the streets in Songhu are full of people, and the business in many shops is very hot.
"If Jiangnan wants to develop, it should learn more from Songhu."
¡°Attach importance to industry and set up more factories and workshops, so that we can develop rapidly.¡±
Wang Shouren is very aware of the power of factories. A small factory can provide jobs for thousands of people, and the wealth created is very huge.
Not only can the court collect a large amount of tax revenue from it, factory owners can also get huge profits, and many workers can also get considerable remuneration, which is much better than farming in the countryside.
"Yes, yes, we must seriously learn from Songhu, pay attention to industry, and build more factories~"
Wang Shouren was surrounded by many officials from prefectures and counties. They all nodded after hearing Wang Shouren's words.
At this moment, an official came to Wang Shouren in a hurry.
"Sir, something big has happened, something big has happened~"
"A large number of rioters appeared in Nanjing. Hundreds of thousands of rioters were smashing, looting and burning in Nanjing. A large number of factories, shops, etc. were smashed and robbed."
The visitor didn¡¯t even have time to take a breath and hurriedly reported the report.
"What?"
When Wang Shouren heard this, his eyes widened immediately.
I have just left Nanjing, and something like this happened in Nanjing. How is this possible?
You must know that Nanjing has always been very prosperous and prosperous, everything is in order, and the work related to the New Year is very well arranged. Now that the New Year is about to come, something like this happened.
"Let's go back to Nanjing immediately!"
Almost without any hesitation, Wang Shouren hurried back to Nanjing.
Wang Shouren's four-wheeled carriage was racing rapidly on the road to Nanjing, and he was filled with anxiety.
"What exactly is going on?"
"Such a thing could happen."
Wang Shouren frowned and thought quickly. He had been working in South Zhili for many years and knew the situation in South Zhili very well.
The land south of the Yangtze River is prosperous and prosperous. It is absolutely impossible to say that there will be chaos and rebellion. What's more, the weather has been smooth in the past few years without any disasters. It stands to reason that it is absolutely impossible to have large-scale chaos and rebellion.
"There must be something going on~"
"Are those people causing trouble?"
Soon, Wang Shouren thought of a possibility. Perhaps it was most likely that those who wanted to get him away were causing trouble behind the scenes, which led to the current events.
Almost at the fastest speed, Wang Shouren returned to Nanjing as soon as possible.
As soon as Wang Shouren returned to Nanjing, before Wang Shouren had time to take a breath, many officials in Nanjing hurriedly found Wang Shouren.
"Master Wang, the whole of Nanjing is in chaos, complete chaos. Hundreds of thousands of rioters are beating, smashing, looting and burning wantonly. This is a premeditated rebellion and must be suppressed by the imperial court immediately!"
"Yes, Lord Wang, we must immediately dispatch the army to suppress it~" At this time 75z hongw en.com Zhang Si
"We have jointly submitted a letter to the Emperor to explain clearly the situation in Jiangnan. I think the imperial court will soon send a large army to suppress it. The most urgent task is to close the old city of Nanjing and carry out strict defense to prevent the rebellion from coming in. ¡±强牺 yunxuange.org 读牺
"Yes, yes, once the rioters come in, we and other officials will definitely die."
Wang Shouren is coldThere are a lot of things going on, after all, there have always been some turbulent elements since ancient times.
"Give me my wages, give me my wages~"
"You black-hearted boss, pay me back my wages~"
¡°All workers are one family and should unite to fight against the evil employer!¡±
¡°We are united and we are in the same boat!¡±
Wang Shouren looked at all this with a stern expression, and soon heard a chorus of shouts. He saw a large number of workers gathering on the road, shouting as they walked around.
¡°Fellow fellow, I just came to Nanjing from another place. Did something happen?¡±
Wang Shouren stopped a few workers and pretended not to know anything.
"Alas~"
"Forget it, we are all workers in the surrounding factories. We have worked hard for the factory for a year. Who knew it was the end of the year and they didn't give us wages."
¡°Even if we don¡¯t pay wages, they hire gangsters to beat us workers, and we have to work in the factory for another year before we can get wages.¡±
"We were so angry that we started fighting with them, causing a lot of deaths. Now they are threatening to report us to the government, and they will arrest us all as rebels, and then the nine tribes will be killed or something."
"We are scared to death now, so we are all ready to unite and ask the government for an explanation. If we are really pushed into a hurry, at worst we will really rebel, and we will not even be given a way to survive."
The workers who were stopped had no choice but to express their sadness to Wang Shouren. All of this was forced by others.
"No one can get paid?"
Wang Shouren widened his eyes and asked quickly.
"That's right, we are workers at the Jinling Cement Factory, they are workers at the Jinling Textile Factory, as well as the glass factory and the car factory. We don't get paid."
"But in those factories run by Yankees, they got paid their wages for nothing."
Many workers also followed suit.
"There is such a thing, why don't you file a lawsuit?"
Wang Shouren frowned, thought for a while and asked.
"Some of us have gone to high-ranking positions, but those officials don't make decisions for us ordinary people at all. They said that these are matters between us and the factory owners, and they have nothing to do. Let us find our own solutions."
"Some people were beaten by government officials."
"The owners of those factories are so shady. They hired a lot of gangsters. When I went to ask for money, they beat us. Many people had their hands and feet broken, and some were killed."
"We really have no choice, and we are really angry. How can there be such a reason in the world? We have worked hard for a year, just forget about it without getting paid, and we were beaten. Now they are saying that we are rioters and want to start a rebellion. Well, many people were so frightened that they didn¡¯t even want their wages and quickly went back to their hometowns.¡±
"Yes, yes, we have no choice. We don't have any money. It's such a winter and we don't even have money to buy food. If we go back, we will definitely starve to death or freeze to death on the road."
"What kind of world is this~"
"I really hope that the emperor can hear our words, make decisions for us, and let the employer give us the money, so that we will never come out to work again in the future."
The workers told Wang Shouren the pain in their hearts one by one.
¡°So that¡¯s what it is~¡±
Wang Shouren understood immediately.
"Let's go back~"
After figuring out the cause of the incident, Wang Shouren immediately returned to his yamen without stopping, and then quickly wrote a memorial to the emperor. He also wrote to Liu Jin to explain the situation in Nanjing and explain his next actions. and reporting.
"Hurry, send this memorial to the capital with eight hundred taels as a rush~"
"There is also this letter, which must be sent to Mr. Liu Jin Liu as quickly as possible. He should take the train south at this time and plan his itinerary in advance."
After Wang Shouren wrote the memorial and letter, he quickly ordered his cronies and confidants to handle it. He no longer believed in the ordinary officials and government servants here in Nanjing. This was definitely a premeditated conspiracy.
"Yes~"强牺 baolaixsw.com 读牺At this time 75*zhongw en. com* Zhang Si
When the confidant heard this, he hurriedly went to deal with it.
Seeing his cronies leaving, Wang Shouren thought for a while, then took out his pen and ink and quickly wrote a letter home to his father Wang Hua in the capital, explaining the situation to them, and at the same time clearly stating his guesses and thoughts in his heart. Worrying, I hope Wang Hua can help him stabilize himself in the capital so that he can have time to deal with it.
