Chapter 104: All the Way North 2
readx;?“ Master, what are these 'city management' for? Zhou Rui naturally couldn't figure out the purpose of these people, so he had to ask the master. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Ren Xuefeng smiled mysteriously, "This is our big killer," he suddenly felt that it was not a good idea to damage the chengguan like this, so he had to explain to Zhou Rui with a correct attitude, "Just kidding, the main responsibility of the chengguan is, of course, to manage the city, and they are responsible for ensuring that the market is clean and tidy." ”
Usually, when he went to Wenshan Port, he often saw Xu officials collecting protection money from hawkers on the street under the pretext of managing hawkers, and those who did not comply were either directly smashed or caught by them to the government. However, after he raised this question, Ren Xuefeng laughed, "In our Senate, we can only do things according to law, and whoever dares to be corrupt and cheat will wait to go to the labor camp to dedicate their youth." Although these urban management have the right to fine, but only after the issuance of fines can be fined, and the fines are single and double, have independent numbers, every day there are people in the financial management department responsible for checking whether the fines and fines can be checked, if there are discrepancies, they must find out the problem, and if they can't find it, they will be dealt with according to favoritism. ”
"Then they can't just collect money without issuing a fine?" Zhou Rui was apprehensive about the ability of those officials to exploit the common people, and couldn't help asking.
Ren Xuefeng put the gear on slow driving and slowed down, "Just kidding, who dares?" These chengguan get at least two taels of silver every month, and as long as someone reports and verifies favoritism and fraud, they work to death in the labor camp. Moreover, the whistleblower can also get a reward of ten taels of silver after checking the truth, and he will not dare to embezzle if he lends them the guts. ”
Zhou Rui couldn't help but gasp, such a little official is two taels of silver a month, if he has such a life, he will not dare to embezzle. But is it too expensive for the Senate to pay such a high salary to these petty officials?
Ren Xuefeng knew what he was thinking, "Do you think these two taels of silver are worth it?" Are you wrong, do you know how much the market management fee is in Beiqiaotou Town for a month? In addition, the sales of each shop are subject to tax, two percent, although it is not much, but you must know how many inland merchants and hawkers come here every day to buy goods? Not to mention the Nanban attack this month, I heard last month that the tax alone was more than 300 taels. ”
Zhou Rui was so shocked that he couldn't breathe in at this time, what is the concept of more than three hundred taels, this is just the tax of this small town that can see the head at a glance, what is the Senate for? Can you actually make more than 15,000 taels of transactions a month in this mung bean-sized town? This does not include the market management fee mentioned by the master. Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered taxes, which have always been the things that ordinary people are most afraid of, but these businessmen in front of him did not seem to be affected by taxes, but instead talked with the customers who looked at the goods in front of them with a smile.
Not far away, there was a sudden exclamation, "Catch the thief!" He stole my stuff! Ren Xuefeng hurriedly stepped on the brakes and parked the car in the middle of the road.
A short thin man in a short shirt and trousers suddenly ran out of a shop a few feet away, and ran in the direction of the bridge, and several merchants in long shirts chased after him.
However, this thief obviously has good legs and feet, flashed in front of Ren Xuefeng's Rolls-Royce, and his feet turned like wheels and ran wildly, and the bitter master behind him couldn't catch up at all, and he was about to run to the intersection of the town. Suddenly, a man in an ordinary robe rushed out of the stabbing side, and he pushed the short thin man to the ground, and from a little farther away, several people in ordinary clothes also rushed up, and they all twisted the thief. The next few chengguan who arrived were the city guards, and although they were running out of breath, they quickly borrowed ropes from their belts and tied up the thieves in three or two strokes.
The chengguan asked the thief a few questions, and several people took out a blue wooden sign from their robes and handed it to the chengguan. When the chengguan saw it, he hurriedly saluted them. At this time, several people in black uniforms rushed from the side of the street, and these people were dressed in the same clothes as the chengguan, except that their clothes were black, and the strips of cloth on their chests were blue, and the word "police" was written on them with white paint.
"These people are fast catchers, aren't they?" Seeing that the police who came to negotiate with the chengguan and took away the thief, Zhou Rui was curious and asked again.
"Yes," Ren Xuefeng replied with a smile, "These are plainclothes policemen in long robes, who specialize in lurking in the crowd to catch criminals; Those in black uniforms are patrol officers, who have to fight directly against criminals to protect the Senate and the safety of people's lives and property. ”
Zhou Rui didn't know what a criminal was, but he must have known that it must be a bad guy who dealt with those thieves and gangsters. At this time, the plainclothes policeman who was the first to do it came over, saw Ren Xuefeng driving a Rolls-Royce, and saluted him first, "Hello! I am Sergeant Zhou Botong of the Beiqiaotou Town Police Station, can I take a look at your ID? ”
Zhou Botong was captured by the special investigation team after leaving Wenjiazhuang with a group of brave villagers with a sense of justice, and entered the civil affairs department after a long period of purification and cultural study. But then the establishment of the Beiqiaotou Town Police Station and the emergence of the first batch of police careers deeply attracted him, to serve the people for justice, in the name of the law to fight against criminals, this is his dream career! Regardless of Yu Sha's hard work, he resolutely applied for transfer to the Beiqiaotou Town Police Station and became a policeman under the director Zhang Tao.
As a martial artist, he has a lot of kung fu in his hands and feet, not to mention the experience of being a dart master, he is familiar with dealing with criminals, and he has gradually received Zhang Tao's attention after dealing with several public security cases. In the operation to arrest several robbers some time ago, he pursued two robbers alone, and captured them all alive, which made him directly promoted from a corporal to a sergeant. At present, the police system of the Senate is still distinguished by military rank, and even Zhang Tao himself is now only a lieutenant.
Ren Xuefeng nodded with a smile in return, took out his wallet from his pocket, took out his ID card, and Zhou Botong saluted again, "Salute to the veteran comrades!" Then he took the ID card with both hands.
The ID card is printed on a cardboard card, the outside is plastic, the upper left is a color photo of the patriarch himself, and the right is the name of the patriarch, gender, height, and body shape, in order to prevent loss or seizure by people with ulterior motives, there are English annotations next to it, anyway, thanks to Chinese education, the patriarchs who came more or less understand English, and these are even more obvious on the ID card. At the bottom is the patriarch's ID number. As for the back, it is the symbol of the Senate - the Dongfeng that rides the wind and waves in the dawn. In the lower right corner of the back is a QR code, which can be scanned with the mobile phones of the veterans to obtain the personal information of the veterans.
Zhou Botong took a closer look at his ID card, this must be true, and the strong man in front of him who is 1.55 meters tall is definitely not a local native, who is only 1.55 meters tall, can pretend to be.
He handed his ID card to Ren Xuefeng with both hands, "May I ask if the veteran comrade is there with his ID?" ”
Ren Xuefeng stretched out his hand and smiled, "This is the apprentice I accepted from the refugees in Champa Port, and I am about to go back to register." ”
"Okay." Zhou Botong saluted Ren Xuefeng, "I wish you a smooth journey!" ”
Ren Xuefeng smiled back again, then got into gear, and then drove forward.
"Master, is that plainclothes policeman the chief just now?"
"No, what's wrong?" Ren Xuefeng replied with a smile.
"Then how can he check the documents of the patriarch?" Zhou Rui was a little indignant, "The chief is an official, how dare these officials trouble the official?" ”
Ren Xuefeng was really convinced that this apprentice was not a traverser, and explained to him with a smile, "You are wrong, didn't the ancients say it?" The prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, and everyone is equal before the law. ”
Zhou Rui couldn't help but be stunned as if he had been struck by lightning, is this still what the official master should say? He had heard this a long time ago, but when had those officials put themselves in the same position as the common people? Aren't they supposed to protect their privileges?
"You must know that power will breed **, absolute power will only produce absolute**, only by using the law to regulate power, so as to protect social justice, our Senate is not here to establish a slave country or to be a big landlord, we are here to build a fair and just country, rich and strong new China. Everyone who has made efforts to build this new China is the master of this country and will be the future patriarch of China. ”
Zhou Rui couldn't help but be in a daze when he listened, he stepped on the drive pedal mechanically, his eyes were full of passion, and all kinds of thoughts flew in his head. What he sees today is a beautiful society that he never even dared to dream of before, a country without corruption and corrupt officials, and he is even more excited that he can become the master of this powerful country, and he is more likely to become the elder of the country in the future.
Of course, Ren Xuefeng didn't say that everyone was equal, but the elders were more equal, but the words he said at this time were what he had always wanted to say, and he really came to this new time and space with this idea. He knew very well that only by mobilizing the sense of ownership of these planners could they play their greatest role and make the Senate stronger and more united.
Both of them pondered their respective problems, and the Rolls-Royce sped down the paved road at a speed of twelve kilometers per hour, and soon left the town of North Bridgehead.
The road in front of you is flat and straight, drainage ditches have been dug on both sides of the road, and weeds have been removed from the road and on the side of the road. Along the way, one or two people wearing yellow vests and rattan helmets will appear on the side of the road from time to time to weed on the side of the road. On the right side of the road is the South China Sea, where the sea breeze is gently blowing across the road towards the jungle to the west. At least for now, although the Vostochny Harbor Timber Mill has been continuously operating, the big axe of the logging team is nothing to do in the destruction of this primeval jungle.
