Chapter 51: The Parasite of Righteousness

The concept of "book province in the line" has gradually become familiar and understood after a flood fight and rescue. Regarding the fact that the circulation of people in the province is more convenient than before, even the people of Chang'an and are quite envious.

Of course, what they envy is only their freewheeling, and the chaos and slight turmoil caused by this are naturally not envied by them.

After all, there is no local area like the capital, which is currently guarded by the most powerful army in the world.

"Observe, there are more and more idlers worshipping the Iron Cane Temple in the south and north of the Yangtze River."

"Under our rule?"

"That's not true, Wuhan is strict, and Qingpi doesn't like to come here to mess around. However, there are still some small businesses who are willing to contact them outside. ”

"Don't think about anything you can't forbid, just ignore it." Zhang De closed the documents in his hand, handed them to the checking documents, and said to the staff with a puzzled face, "You also know what these market rangers who formed associations and formed associations used to shout righteousness on their lips, but what they actually were. ”

As he spoke, Zhang De stood up from behind his desk, stood with his hands in his hands, walked to the front, and said to the staff: "These people seem to be far away from us. After all, in the final analysis, we are officials, and they are the people. But you have to figure out the truth of this, and don't be fooled by these worm-like beasts. ”

"Observation, I see a lot of Jiangnan rangers, and they are still a little famous."

"It's a thin name, it's just a nest of snakes and rats to pick up the praise, what kind of way are you doing these goods?" Lao Zhang smiled disdainfully, "Three days and five days, a year and a half, I can't see the scourge during the period." After all, you officials can't stay in the market every day. Most of the leaders of those rangers are well-dressed like dogs, and they may have a good family background, but only this glamorous and decent can deceive people. ”

"But every trader, or who smashes a wall and does business on the street. And who is waiting to see such beasts? If you frolic for a day, you will ruin your livelihood for a day, not to mention that these small households, or peddlers and pawns, will be afraid for ten days and half a month......"

Speaking of this, some people have already recalled: "The observation is good, in the final analysis, these people do not produce, and after all, they do not pay taxes." The officials mingled with them, received the gold and silver, and naturally turned a blind eye, so these people had a plan, relying on the prestige of the public gate, to intimidate and deceive the people in the market. ”

"One or two are not afraid, ten or twenty are not afraid, but if it is fifty or one hundred, not to mention nonsense such as Xiaoju and where to gather, it is only said that there are hundreds of rangers, extorting money in Fang City all day long, even if they don't want much, they can accumulate a lot, and they will accumulate sand into a tower."

Zhang De recalled the experience and said, "You may not believe it, more than ten years ago, I was in Chang'an Wubenfang, and I only had one name, and there were still hundreds of times a month. The children of the Mendi House are still like this, and those who are adults can be more stupid than children? ”

"That observation means ......"

"Don't support any rangers to do dirty work, that is, to offend the people and damage the reputation of the official, what is it?" The most important thing to be an official is whether they can be promoted, local petty officials are afraid that the official reputation will cause a fishy body, and they like to use rangers to do something unsightly, and when the matter is over, let them carry the black pot and earn a lot of praise from the people.

But here in Wuhan is a little different, the rangers have harmed the interests of the market, that is, they have harmed their interests. For example, those who are officials in Wuhan are involved in emerging industries in their families, and they are implicated.

And they originally needed this kind of goods in the gutter to do things, but now Zhang De told them that there was no need for this.

"If you want to be promoted, is it useful to rely on official reputation? There is only one Wei Xuancheng in the world, can any of you become Wei Xuancheng second? Could it be that Li Liangzhou's official voice and Li Liangzhou's uprightness are worse than Wei Xuancheng's? Why is Li Liangzhou still nesting in Liangzhou and counting wool with the Qiang people? ”

At this point, the staff members all clasped their fists and saluted.

In the end, this is also the truth, what really matters to be an official is that in these years, it still depends on whether the backer is hard or not......

"Wuhan is not the old Jingzhou, don't learn the usual methods. In the past three to five years, if the two sides of the strait have made a rich living, all of you here today will have to say that you will be making less money every day. For the sake of local officials, they are not willing to do sinners, for fear of dirty hands, so why do they have to be officials in Wuhan? Go to Chang'an as soon as possible to get a six-part errand. ”

After that, Zhang De gave a reassurance, "As long as the government is in Wuhan for a day and waits for the future, it is definitely not the praise of the local villagers." Don't think too much, and do things. ”

"Yes, observe."

With Zhang De's explanation and assurance, the Wuhan Records Department and the surrounding counties will crack down on the "Xiangtang Huishui" in the industrial and commercial areas.

Rao is a village elder who formed a Xiangtang, but he was also arrested and sent to Leiba for a month, which can be regarded as a sentence of re-education through labor.

In just a few months, in the surrounding areas of Wuhan, only the lazy people in the market can still haunt. Crowds of market greenskins, that will never be public.

Wuhan can do that, but nowhere else.

Because the construction of the Iron Rods Temple involved the political disputes of the year, the later victories in several wars made the Iron Rods Temple a very special location.

The imperial court recognized the legitimacy of this "temple", and successively endowed the wheat rod with the attribute of "loyalty", which made most of the rangers in the wealthy areas love to burn a stick of incense in the iron rod temple.

As a result, the new type of "Xiangtang Huishui" that has gradually developed has been flooded in a large number of labor-intensive industries such as shipping and logistics.

So I often see the bow of the Caoyun ship in Yangzhou, and after running to Jiujiang, I will use the unneat Luo lower voice to visit the Mincang Cangtou on the dock when docking at the Jiujiang wharf.

The opening is "In Xiayangzhou, a piece of loyalty incense has been burned in the Iron Cane Temple, and I have come to see it", if the other party also relies on the official "loyalty" attribute of the Iron Cane Temple to envelop the idle green skin, he will respond "burn a stick of incense and drink a river water together." They are all brothers from all over the world, Jiujiang is polite......

It sounds like they are full of righteousness, and they all go around with a great heart, but in fact, they are all bullshit, made for the younger brothers.

The young ranger longed for such "dignity and grandeur", as well as the unattainable "mysterious righteousness", as for life and death...... What's the use of that thing?

In this situation, Zhang De could not control or suppress it, so he could only fight while building. This kind of organization, this kind of gang, they are lingering parasites, and they are constantly evolving, in the era of small peasants they rely on the land, and when the era touches the threshold of the handicraft industry or industry at the slightest bite, they immediately bite the industry and commerce, and they cannot shake off.

However, these parasites attached to industry and commerce were what the vast majority of rulers were happy to see and even secretly supported.

Unlike Zhang De, the already crazy engineering dog, those bureaucrats who are fighting under Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng, and Changsun Wuji need these to strengthen their "authority" in the industry.

It really ...... when it comes and when it is called, it is really Good.
