Vol 2 Chapter 1410: Moving, it will happen! (Thanks Hans for his great reward!)

　　 "Eh! Have you heard about it? The Jinshi Gang in the southwest of the county seat was given a pot by the county government yesterday afternoon~!"
　　 "What? Did Jin Wanbiao catch it?"
　　 "Catch it! Catch it! It is said that the 58 members of the Jinshi Gang have all been taken to the county jail!"
　　 "Great! Great! The people of the Jinshi Gang have done all the bad things, and Jin Wanbiao is cruel by nature. I don't know how many merchants have been blackmailed by him! They should have been arrested long ago!"
　　 "You didn't want to arrest Jin Wanbiao before you became the magistrate? Isn't there no evidence?"
　　 "What's wrong? Is there evidence this time?"
　　 "Hey! It's different this time! This time, it's not Sun Catcher from the county government office, but the guards of the Hou Mansion. Even if he lends him Jin Wanbiao ten courage, I dare not say anything!"
　　 "Oh! It seems that Master Hou can't understand their bullies!"
　　 "Isn't it? And I heard that the Chengbei Canghai Gang was also destroyed yesterday afternoon! Although their gang leader, Tsunami Tian, ​​is not as abominable as Jin Wanbiao, he also charged a lot of merchant protection fees!"
"It's far more than that! Except for these two big gangs, many small gangsters in the city were arrested yesterday afternoon. I have a nephew who works as an errand at the yamen. He said that the county government's cell is already overcrowded. Hu Dianshi, it is said that I didn't close my eyes last night!"
　　 "Huh! Such an exaggeration! It seems that Master Hou really made the shot! Otherwise, no one can have this kind of thunder method to wipe out all the hooligans in Lantian County!"
　　 "No wonder the Sifang City Gate in Lantian County was suddenly closed yesterday afternoon! It turned out that Lord Hou wanted to completely remove these malignant tumors in the city! Now that these rascals are gone, I feel that the city has a lot of security!"
"And have you found that there are more teams of patrol officers in the city today? I don’t know if they only patrol in the last few days, or if they will patrol like this in the future, if it is the latter, then the city will never again There will be cases of land ruffians extorting merchant protection fees!"
"Haha! What did I say yesterday? The business department established by the county government is definitely a good thing for our business people! Although the business tax payment is more than before, there are no bullies like Jin Wanbiao and Tsunami Tian to extortion protection money. , 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 to study for their children. In general, it is definitely a good thing. !"
"Yes, that's right! If you do business in other states and counties, you will also be blackmailed by bullies like Jin Wanbiao. The monthly expenses are not necessarily lower than the expenses of opening a shop in Lantian County! Ah, the Department of Commerce of this county government, I support it from the bottom of my heart! I just rushed to Lord Hou to clean up the bullies in the city this time, and gave us merchants a sigh of anger. I, Jin Fugui, said to support Lord Hou. ~!"
　　 "Yes, yes~! Must support Hou Ye~!"
　　 The next day.
　　 The people of Lantian County who woke up early couldn't help talking in groups. The focus of the topic was naturally the Lantian County Skynet action yesterday!
　　 Merchants who were dissatisfied with the Department of Commerce and the new Commercial Tax Law have changed their attitudes at this moment and started to talk about the Department of Commerce!
　　 "Go and see! The county government has posted a new notice!"
　　 What a coincidence, at this moment, someone ran over and shouted.
　　 "The new notice? It must be related to the bullies of Jin Wanbiao! Go! Let's go and see!"
　　 I don’t know who screamed, and immediately, the merchants and the common people walked quickly in the direction of the county government!
In front of the notice board at the gate of the county government office, twenty or thirty people were already surrounded by this time. A scholar read while watching, "Members of the Jinshi Gang and Canghai Gang, in recent months, they have been blackmailing merchants in the city. Asked for protection money, and was guilty of wounding, arson and other crimes. After the county government tried, the criminal confessed to the crime. The county magistrate decided to traffic these people to the mine and serve three years in prison! The two big gangs helped the leaders and were directly exiled. Qiongzhou!
　　 From now on, if anyone dares to blackmail merchants, the county government will punish them severely! In addition, in order to maintain the public order of the city, there will be patrols in the city every day. At the same time, patrols will be strengthened in the city to ensure that the merchants have a good business environment and the people have a stable living environment! "
A close examination of the relevant laws in the Tang and Song dynasties reveals that the maximum period of punishment in these two dynasties generally did not exceed three years. Will be sentenced to up to two years in prison. The laws of the Tang and Song dynasties set three years as the upper limit of the sentence, from one to three years divided into five criminal law levels.
　　 The reason why there is no longer term imprisonment is mainly because the population in ancient times would not be as large as in modern times, and human resources would not be as worthless as modern society. In this era, everyone is a very precious labor force used to develop production and farming operations. Once the prisoner is detained extensively and detained for a long time, it will have a great impact on the production and operations of the entire society.
　　 Moreover, the fixed-term imprisonment of this era cannot only imprison prisoners. In addition to being detained, these prisoners must complete compulsory high-intensity labor. This practice is roughly the same as the fixed-term imprisonment and labor reform practiced in modern society!
　　 Therefore, the county government's punishment for the gangsters caught yesterday is still very heavy!
　　 "Great! Great! In the future, no one in the city will dare to collect protection fees!"
　　 "Master Hou is really thinking about the merchants waiting for me! This commercial department is well established!"
　　 "That's right! You can do business with peace of mind and down-to-earth in the future! Although there are a lot of business taxes, the old man is willing to pay!"
　　 "No! The old man has to buy a shop in Lantian County. Who wants to resell the shop? The price is easy to negotiate!"
　　 After seeing this notice at the gate of the county government, the people and the merchants finally saw the county government's determination to rectify the law and order of Lantian County. The merchants all breathed a sigh of relief and rejoiced!
　　 "Hey? Isn't that the boss of Chang'an City? Why did he bring so many cars? What is in that car?"
　　 "Just ask, don’t you know? Boss Cao is still very good at talking!"
　　 When everyone was talking about it, they caught a glimpse of a motorcade on the road west of the county government. The leader was Cao Wendong, the largest cloth merchant in Chang'an! Seeing Cao Wendong brought so many carriages to Lantian County, the people at the county government office could not help but talk.
　　 Naturally brave people approached and asked: "Boss Cao, what are you going to do, you are so exciting?"
Cao Wendong didn't put on airs, he said with a smile: "Cao heard that Lantian County had established a Department of Commerce yesterday. He treats businessmen, people, and craftsmen equally, and that the children of merchants can also participate in county schools. This makes Cao very excited! Because of the Department of Commerce, we can stop our businessmen from being blinded and bullied! So after thinking about it, I plan to completely move the family to Lantian County. Anyway, there are several Cao shops in this city. You can take this Let Inuzi enter the county school!"
When Yanhuang Academy was not established last year, Cao Wendong approached Li Zexuan several times and wanted the latter to establish a chamber of commerce and help businessmen improve their social status. At that time, Li Zexuan refused his request due to personal reasons. Later, Li Zexuan established himself. After the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce, although Cao Wendong also joined the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce, the status of the merchant in society has not changed!
　　In any place, merchants are lowly untouchables, despised by others!
Now Li Zexuan intends to establish a Department of Commerce in Lantian County to protect the social status and interests of business people, and he has made it clear that the status and class of businessmen and ordinary people are the same. After receiving the news, Cao Wendong was very happy, and then he quickly cleaned up After cleaning up, the family moved directly to Lantian County!
　　 After all, it can be said that Lantian County is regarded as the only and possibly the last piece of pure land for the merchants of Datang! Only here can business people 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 things are good things that can’t be exchanged with money. "Yeah!
　　 "What? Boss Cao? You are moving to Lantian County~?"
　　 After hearing what Cao Wendong said, the merchants couldn't help exclaiming one by one.
　　 Cao Wendong smiled faintly: "Why? Doesn't it look like? The old man has already set up a mansion in Lantian County. It is in Yong'an Fang, and he will be a close neighbor of Lord Hou by then!"
　　 "But Mr. Cao, what should you do at the cloth workshop in Chang'an City?"
　　 Then someone asked again.
　　 Cao Wendong said indifferently: "Then treat it as a branch. From now on, the Cao's store in Lantian County will be the head office!"
　　 When everyone heard the words, they looked at each other immediately, and they thought Cao Wendong was a "rich and willful" type of person! After all, although the commercial scale of Lantian County has grown many times before, compared with Chang'an City, Lantian County is still far behind! 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 self-willed!
　　……………………………………
"Now that most of the rogues in the city have been captured, the Department of Commerce has officially begun to perform the tasks it should perform. However, the public security environment in the city must always be paid attention to to prevent the resurgence of evil forces like Jin Wanbiao. After all, this is not easy. The stable management of Lantian County, once chaos once again, it will be really difficult to manage!"
　　 Lantian county post office, Li Zexuan said to the officials in the county office.
Yesterday, let Liu Feng take the lead to help the county government arrest people. It was indeed the instruction of Li Zexuan. Although he could not catch all the rogues in the city, most of the rogues he caught could at least be shocking. The effect made those Xiaoxiao who slipped through the net not dare to do things in the city anymore!
Of course, the reason why he chose to rectify the law and order in Lantian County at this time was that in addition to giving prestige to the Department of Commerce and allowing more merchants to believe in the Department of Commerce, Li Zexuan also has a small selfish heart, that is, his family has now moved. We arrived at the Hou Mansion in Yong'an Fang, including Lan'er and Han Yuxi, they all moved in two days ago! Li Zexuan didn't want the rogues in the city to affect his family!
　　 Although people in the Hou Mansion usually have entourage or guards when they go out, who can guarantee that they will have guards every time they go out? What if you encounter some rogues who don't open your eyes when you are not guarded?
　　 So instead of defending against day and night, it is better to directly give all the main evil forces in the city to one pot. In this way, the little scum fish that slipped through the net will stop for a long, long time without the opportunity to continue to be evil! !
　　 "The next official, remember the teachings of Lord Hou!"
　　 He county magistrate arched his hands towards Li Zexuan and responded.
　　 Li Zexuan nodded, and then asked: "How is the progress of the construction of the water canals in the county? How is the progress of the installation of the waterwheel?"
　　 It was about mid-May to look at it. Seeing the hotter weather this day, Li Zexuan couldn't say that he was anxious, it was impossible!
The county magistrate He replied with a bit of excitement: "Hou Ye, 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 installation of waterwheels at various key nodes, There are only less than five waterwheels that have not been installed yet! It is expected that at the latest the day after tomorrow, the reservoir will be able to open the gates to release the water and check whether our canals and waterwheels can operate normally!"
"So fast?"
　　 Li Zexuan raised his eyebrows, very surprised.
　　Counting days, it's only been ten days! The cement ditch in a county is almost finished? The progress of this project ~EbookFREE.me~ makes countless modern people feel a little ashamed!
　　 He county magistrate smiled and said:
"Master Hou, you don't know anything. After the people of Lantian County learned that you built a waterwheel that can transport water automatically, their enthusiasm for ditch repairing suddenly came up. Men, women and children, regardless of age, They all joined the team building the canal.
　　 Even if they can’t get paid, those people are still willing to help repair the canal! In addition, some Zhuangzi even adopted a double-shift work mechanism during the day and night in order to catch up with the work. It is precisely because the villagers on the various Zhuangzi are desperately rushing to work that the project progress is so fast today! "
　　 In this situation, thanks to the news in the "Datang Daily" a few days ago, it has completely inspired all the people to build canals! Compared with the number of people previously reported to the county government, the number of people who are now repairing canals is three times the previous number!
　　 Such positivity, and such a choice of accumulated power.
　　 Li Zexuan smiled satisfied: "Okay! Very good! Once the canal is completed, immediately send someone to notify the benefactor! Time is not waiting, our county must start diverting water as soon as possible!"
　　 "The official follow the order~!"
　　Hu Dianshi, Sun Butou, Mengxiancheng, Wangxianwei, Zhang Zhubu and others saluted and responded.
