The streets and alleys in the Nanjing Industrial Zone are in a mess. You can see smashed shops and shops everywhere. The roads are also full of garbage. You can even see traces of being burned in many factories and shops.
In less than three days, the originally prosperous and busy city turned into what it is now. A large number of workers who could not get their wages and were unwilling to go back gathered together, forming a huge crowd. .
Inside Jinling Cement Factory.
"Li Hu, you should run away quickly. I heard that the government troops have entered the city and set up checkpoints in various places to arrest those who were beating, smashing, looting and burning."
"They will definitely come to arrest you then. If you are caught, you will definitely die."
Ding Laosan, who was sitting in a wheelchair, looked at Li Hu and tried his best to persuade him to run away as far as possible.
"Yes, yes~"
"Brother Tiger, run away quickly."
"If I don't leave, I really won't be able to leave. I know a way out of the city. I can leave the city easily. Now I can leave the city and get on a boat to go overseas. I can still live a good life."
"I heard that in overseas colonies and vassal states, as long as they are willing to immigrate there, they will not only be given land, but some will also be given a few barbarian women."
"Yes, yes, I'm thinking of just going overseas next year. Is this still how people live here in the Ming Dynasty?"
"We have worked hard for a year and it doesn't matter if we don't get a penny. We just want to get our wages back. Now we may be treated as rioters by the court."
"How about we immigrate overseas next year? I have a compatriot who went overseas. It is said that his life is very good now."
Around Li Hu, everyone was persuading Li Hu to leave now.
Because everyone has received the news that Mr. Wang, the Chief Envoy of Southern Zhili, has returned to Nanjing. Officials, servants, policemen, etc. from various government offices have been on the streets to arrest those criminals who were beating, smashing, looting, burning, and stealing. .
At the same time, the Nanjing garrison has also entered Nanjing City, set up checkpoints, and blocked Nanjing City. Invisibly, it seems that there is a big net opening to everyone. If they don't leave, it is very likely that they will never be able to leave again.
"I won't leave. I haven't broken any laws. I just want my wages back. What's wrong with this?"
Li Hu said stubbornly.
He felt that he had done nothing wrong and just wanted his wages back. He did not let the workers in the factory destroy, smash, loot, or burn. He just waited quietly in the factory for the officials above to make the decision for him.
"Ouch~"
¡°You said it¡¯s not illegal, but it¡¯s not illegal. When the time comes, if you¡¯re labeled as gathering a crowd to cause trouble, it will be enough to make you lose your head.¡±
"Since ancient times, what the imperial court has been most afraid of is people gathering to make trouble. This time, the trouble is indeed a little too much. In all the large and small factories around us, there are at least hundreds of thousands of people making trouble together. Otherwise, there would be no It¡¯s going to be as chaotic as it is now.¡±
"At that time, the leaders in each factory will not be able to leave. I am disabled, and it doesn't matter anyway. I will stay and support everyone."
"You are still young, so you can't be arrested like this. There are seniors and juniors in the family, but they are still counting on you."
Ding Laosan looked at Li Hu, with helplessness in his voice. They were all honest people, but they were forced to this point.
The officials forced the people to rebel, and they finally understood what was going on.
"Yes, Brother Tiger, hurry up and leave~"
"Hurry up, hurry up and leave~"
"You guys all leave. Those gangsters were all beaten to death. If you don't leave now, you will inevitably be exiled overseas. It's better to leave now and go quietly."
"Don't worry at home. In this era, life is easy, and you won't starve to death if you do whatever you want. When the time comes, brothers will help each other, and you will definitely be able to raise your children. Once you are stable overseas, you can also They all took it.¡±
"Yes, yes, hurry up and leave~"
Just when everyone was trying to persuade Li Hu and others to leave, armies of troops were walking in neat steps on the streets of Nanjing Industrial Zone.
¡°Tap tap~ tap tap~¡±
The neat footsteps, uniform uniforms and outfits immediately attracted everyone's attention. In each factory, many workers immediately shrank back in fear, and some even trembled with fear and hurriedly hid.
Wang Shouren was riding a horse and walking on the street with a stern look on his face.Wear warm clothes and stay inside the factory first. Don't move around, and don't follow others outside to smash, loot, burn, steal, or the like. "
"There are some thieves who are taking advantage of the chaos to loot, burn, and do all kinds of bad things. As long as everyone stays in the factory, I will soon let everyone get the money and go home happily to celebrate the New Year."
Wang Shouren looked at the people crying in front of him, took off his official hat and assured everyone.
"Sir, we believe in you~We believe in you~"
"I would say there must be good officials who will make decisions for us people."
"Sir, we are all law-abiding people, and no one will take advantage of the chaos to do bad things."
When Ding Laosan, Li Hu and others heard this, they immediately said.
"Okay, okay~"
Wang Shouren nodded happily, and with a wave of his hand, an official drove a four-wheeled carriage into the factory. The carriage was filled with grain, vegetables and meat.
"Let's go to Jinling Textile Factory~"
Wang Shouren mounted his horse and hurried to the next factory. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
