- ??On the New Year of the 22nd year of Hongzhi, the gentry, big families, and big businessmen in the entire Jiangnan were all on tenterhooks, the day before the New Year.
The entire Jiangnan officialdom almost collapsed, from the state capital's office, the river censor, to the local magistrate, etc., almost filling the originally empty cells.
Liu Jin, the Minister of Civil Affairs who came from the capital, went on a killing spree. Liu Jin, who had the power to kill first and report later, almost swept the entire Jiangnan officialdom. There were only a few officials from other places. At the same time, he had many conflicts with the local big families, businessmen, and gentry. There is nothing involved, and there is no use of the power in hand to engage in corruption or abuse power for personal gain.
Suddenly, the whole Jiangnan was trembling, and even the atmosphere of the New Year was gone. Compared with previous years, the big households in Jinling City were much more low-key. They even dared not set off fireworks for fear of disturbing whoever was holding them. Lord Liu with Shang Fang's sword.
After severely punishing officials of all sizes in the Jiangnan officialdom, Liu Jin and Wang Shouren had no intention of stopping.
The New Year holidays for officials, yamen servants, and policemen in the government have been cancelled, so they are all waiting for dispatch in the yamen at any time. At the same time, the 30,000 garrison in Nanjing are also at the disposal of Liu Jin at all times.
The first day of the Lunar New Year is supposed to be a day for families to reunite and celebrate the New Year happily. In many places, activities such as temple fairs and ancestor worship are even held to celebrate.
As for the always lively Qinhuai River, it is also very lively on the New Year's Day. In the past, flower boats would be moored at the piers on the bank of the Qinhuai River, and the smell of rouge and gouache could float ten miles away, even Even the fish in the Qinhuai River were dyed with rouge and gouache.
But this year, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, groups of officers and soldiers marched in neat steps, followed by a large number of officials, government servants and police officers. The soldiers were divided into many routes and quickly moved towards every large household in Nanjing. People drive away.
In the high-end houses, with the arrival of the officers and soldiers, the sounds of whining and wailing suddenly became endless. A big businessman, a big gentry, a big landowner, etc. who had a high position in the past were tied up and escorted by these officers and soldiers. Entered the prison car.
The huge mansion was also searched and sealed. What's more, the entire family was taken away. All of a sudden, they were all prisoners and imprisoned. The entire mansion was also sealed with a white seal. , a box of gold and silver jewelry, real estate title deeds, pearls and jade, agate and jade, etc. were transported out by a four-wheeled carriage.
A large number of officers, soldiers and government officials also came to the ports and docks on the Yangtze River in Nanjing. They quickly sealed and impounded the ships on the docks. A large number of gangsters and bullies who were running rampant on the docks were packed into prison cars.
In big cities such as Nanjing, Suzhou, Yangzhou, and Songhu, many large local trading houses in the south of the Yangtze River were directly seized by the army, government officials, and police officers. The shopkeepers and clerks were detained, and a large amount of goods were seized.
The entire south of the Yangtze River seemed to have been hit by the most violent cold current, and it was extremely cold.
Everyone is talking about, for fear that there will be officials, military service, and catching the door in the next moment, get themselves into jail, and seize their own industries.
Of course, the only people who are worried are these big businessmen, big landowners and big gentry. As for ordinary people, whether they should celebrate the New Year or continue to celebrate the New Year, it will not be affected at all.
A large number of local businesses and factories were sealed, which would have had a huge impact on life in Jiangnan, but Liu Jin made arrangements in advance.
In the past, those large commercial banks that could not enter Jiangnan to do business seemed to have prepared in advance and quickly replaced these large local commercial banks, transporting large quantities of goods to various parts of Jiangnan to meet the daily needs of the people.
Although the whole of Jiangnan is in chaos, order is still there. For ordinary people, they should eat and drink. In their spare time, they can also talk about the big shots going to jail.
At a factory building in Nanjing, Liu Jin and Wang Shouren came here on horseback. Behind them, there were officers and soldiers pressing down a rich middle-aged man.
"Liu Jin, there are really so many problems in Jiangnan."
¡°There was no thorough investigation before. This time, after a thorough interrogation of these people, many problems were discovered.¡±
¡°Monopolistic operations, local protected trade, and these factories in front of us.¡±
Wang Shouren sighed while talking,
This time, we carried out a ruthless raid on Jiangnan and struck hard at the big businessmen, big gentry, and big landowners in Jiangnan. We also discovered too many problems.
Comparison of Jiangnan peopleGrouping, to put it nicely, means unity, but to put it badly, it means that the consciousness of a small group is very strong, and everything is done only for the benefit of this small group, with no regard for the overall situation.
Of course, this is not right or wrong in itself, but they often start to violate the laws of the Ming Dynasty after they become powerful. Moreover, Jiangnan places great emphasis on education, with numerous literati and officials. They use their power to provide support to small groups behind them. The pursuit of personal gain led to the emergence of the famous Huizhou merchants, salt merchants, grain merchants, and the Donglin Party members who were deeply hated by later generations and were characterized by regionalism.
¡°What¡¯s happening to these factories in front of you?¡±
¡°Have you not paid workers¡¯ wages yet, or are they still operating during the Chinese New Year?¡±
Liu Jin looked at the factory in front of him. The factory in this area was very large. It was not small in scale. It was a big factory, and at this moment, the big chimney inside the factory was still billowing thick smoke.
¡°Obviously, this factory is still operating normally even during the Chinese New Year, and even though Jiangnan is already so turbulent, it doesn¡¯t seem to have much impact here.
"Master Liu, Master Wang~"
"I, Lu Daquan, have always abided by the law and have never done anything harmful to nature."
Beside Liu Jin and Wang Shouren, the wealthy middle-aged man who was being escorted saw the factory in front of him and said anxiously.
"If you abide by the law, we won't take you here."
"Although we have arrested many people, every one of them is a person who deserves to be arrested. We have not touched any businessmen or gentry who truly abide by the law and operate legally."
Wang Shouren looked at Lu Daquan, smiled and replied: "During the Chinese New Year, all other factories have stopped working to give everyone a holiday to go home for the New Year. Why is your factory still in operation until now? There is no holiday to give back to the workers. Celebrating the New Year at home?¡±
"I, I, the people in my factory don't need to go home for the New Year, so I don't give them a holiday."
Lu Daquan didn¡¯t know how to answer for a moment, so he could only say this hesitantly.
¡°Don¡¯t you need to go home to celebrate the New Year?¡±
When Liu Jin heard this, he immediately became more interested. He rode his horse and quickly arrived at the gate of the factory.
The gate of this factory is also different from other factories. The gates of other factories are basically open to facilitate the entry and exit of carriages, but the gate of the factory in front of me is tightly closed even during the day.
At the same time, I looked at the factory walls again. These walls were built very high and had sharpened bamboo pieces on them. It seemed to be to prevent people inside the factory from escaping.
"Open the door~"
With the arrival of the officers and soldiers, many people also appeared in the factory. Each of these people looked fierce. Many of them looked like ruthless characters, and their hands may have been stained with blood.
But when they saw the heavily armed officers and soldiers coming, and when they saw their boss Lu Daquan being pressed over, a look of panic flashed across their faces.
Wang Shouren yelled angrily, and these people had no choice but to open the door obediently, and then stood together obediently and were taken into custody by the officers and soldiers.
Seeing this, Liu Jin had already guessed something. He frowned and strode towards the factory.
The factory is very large, and the doors of each factory building are closed tightly, but the roar of machines and the busy voices of workers can be heard inside.
Opening the door of the factory, a smell of sweat mixed with various unspeakable smells came to the face. At the same time, the scene inside was also displayed in front of everyone.
I saw a large number of machines rotating in the huge factory building. On the assembly line-like production line, a large number of workers were working non-stop like numb machines. On the top of the factory building were whale oil lamps, providing lighting. It looked very Dim.
"Kunlun slave!"
Looking closely at these numb workers, Liu Jin couldn't help shouting.
Walking into the factory, I looked up and saw that the entire huge factory was full of Kunlun slaves, all numbly doing their jobs.
Someone saw the factory door being opened, and when they saw Liu Jin and others, there was a look of fear in their eyes, and they did their work faster, as if they were like little ghosts who had seen the King of Hell, for fear of being punished. generally.
"Sir, this factory has a total of twelve factories, nine of which are all made of Kunlun slaves, and three of which are all made of white slaves."
An official hurriedly came to Liu Jin and Wang Shouren to report the situation.
Liu Jin originally thought that this continent had imprisoned a large number of ordinary people, using local gangsters, bullies and the like to forcibly detain ordinary people and let them work for their own factories, just like the bullies in Huairou County imprisoned ordinary people to dig coal mines.
But I didn¡¯t expect that although Lu Daquan imprisoned people to do work for him, he actually used slaves.
Liu Jin checked in each factory and found that they were almost the same. The slaves inside looked numb and worked tirelessly. When he saw Liu Jin and other people wearing gorgeous clothes, they were even more frightened and did not dare to work hard. The slightest bit of laziness.
