614 Unusual City Tour
"The people can use it, but not know it... They are humble and honest. Xiao Letian, the monster, actually understands these methods of governance. The great misfortune of the Qing Dynasty..."
Just as the Third Master was visiting the Longxugou Project, a sigh came from them. He turned his head and saw that it was Weng Tonghe, the leader of Qingliu. He had not seen this Wenhua Palace Grand Secretary aged several years in just a few days.
At this time, Weng Tonghe also saw Fuqing. The third master smiled politely and bowed to him. As a result, Weng Tonghe frowned and did not return the favor, just said with a sneer.
"Mr. Qing San, you are also from the Manchu family. Why did Fucha have such a rebellious rebellion? What Xiao Letian did in the capital was nothing more than digging the hearts of the people of the court. He also used the rebellious means of prophecy and song. What does it mean to have food to follow the prime minister? Can Xiao Letian manage a city and manage the entire Qing Dynasty?"
"He can't control it, he just pretends, he just digs the corners of the court, he just bullies the people's ignorance." Weng Tonghe vented his anger on Fu Qing.
Master Qing San didn't have the intention to argue with him, but just said lightly, "People are doing it, God is watching." After that, he ignored him.
"You." Weng Tonghe looked at Master Qing San's back and was so angry that his teeth were itchy, but he had no choice.
"Let's go, let's go into the palace, I'm going to meet the queen mother..." Weng Tonghe's only hope now is to convince the empress dowagers of the two palaces. Looking at Xiao Letian's Longxugou transformation plan, he knew which princes and ministers could betray everything for money.
No matter what methods Weng Tonghe wanted to use, the nature of Qing Sanye and his friends' visit to the city did not weaken at all. They left Longxugou and walked to Dashilan. It was time to find a place to have a meal at noon.
The Qing soldiers were cleaning everywhere along the way. The patrol New Army was wearing brand new military uniforms, carrying foreign guns and shouting slogans, and alleys. At this time, all the people had no fear in their eyes. Children even dared to carry wooden sticks and learn from the new army's queue behind.
"One, two, one...one, two, one..." The tender child voice brought laughter to the adults. This was the military and civilian relationship that the Third Master and the others had never seen in their lifetime. An army that the people respected rather than feared was really rare in history.
The clean streets, freshly painted walls, and the sense of security brought to the people by patrol troops made the people feel like they had entered a dream. There were no beggars begging for food everywhere on the street, and thieves with red spirits, threats from foreign guns and bayonets.
It is true that the new army loves the people as if they are children, but when they see crime, it is really suppressed. There were several gangsters who robbed department stores before, and the patrol army saw that there was a row of foreign guns without saying a word, all of which were nailed to the wall.
In troubled times, the new army does not care whether you are wronged or not. If you call me three times and you still run away, don’t blame us for being ruthless. The dead gangsters’ bodies are hanging on the intersection, shocking all the evildoers.
Public security is unprecedentedly good, a rare clean city history, a price of 40 citrus meters that is rare in a century, and an army that never bullies the people. Such a prosperous scene seems to have only appeared in the dreams of literati.
To be honest, Weng Tong and their literati still admire Xiao Letian's methods. They can't help but be dissatisfied with the capital in just a few days. But unfortunately, these contributions belong to Xiao Letian, not to them. The literati who suffered red-eye illness only hated Xiao Letian even more.
Bang bang bang... After a few gongs, several yamen runners pulled their necks and shouted, "The Prime Minister's order... Hire the bold and bold women to set up red sleeves. As long as they are red sleeves, they will be divided into three liters of white rice per month. It is rare to have a chance. Come early and be better..."
"Red sleeve hoop, what is this?" Mugeji looked puzzled. He waved to the yamen runners. "Come here, I'll ask you what red sleeve hoops are."
The yamen runners carrying the gong recognized Master Qing San, Mugeji and others at a glance, and quickly knelt down and beat Qian Qian. "I have seen you all, the young one pays me a greeting to you... This red sleeve hoop is an organization ordered by the Prime Minister to gather those bold women who are thick-skinned, dare to scold the streets, and dare to fight, and ask them to help maintain the city's public order and tidy."
"How to say, it's just that no one's family is hygienic, spitting, urinating, littering, etc., these red sleeves are responsible for blocking the door and cursing the streets. The ancestors and mothers scold them, and they have to be hygienic for the rest of their lives... Hi, this prime minister is good everywhere, he just loves cleaning too much..."
The Third Master and his group were stunned when they heard this. They didn't expect Xiao Letian to play like this. Is this the power of uniting all the power? Even the power of his wife has to be borrowed.
As he spoke, there was a quarrel in the alley. The yamen runner stuck out his tongue, "Sir, don't you start scolding this red sleeve? These fierce women, when they heard that they curse, they would give three liters of rice, and they all went crazy."
Following the sound, the third master walked into the alley, and it turned out that there were already crowds of people inside. All the neighbors were watching the fun. They saw three big-footed women, crossing their waists and cursing at a closed door.
"Hu Xiucai, you have no son, and you have a shameless old turtle who has sores on your head and pus flows under your feet... The snow-white walls are painted with white gray by the Prime Minister. Your family dares to break the dirty water. The sanitation of this alley is contracted by our sisters. If you smash our jobs, we dare to scold you..."
"Bah... the scholar who will never win the juren in his life deserves to be a sacred scholar. Your wife will give you a cuckold... Your daughter-in-law raises a wild man, and you are also a shameless turtle man..."
What a guy, the three red sleeves were spraying with foam, and the people around him were all ventilated. This was so ugly that Hu Xiucai was a literati after all. These red sleeves were so cheerful to curse with the support of the prime minister.
After all, Shishan Shishui is a literati. They trembled and said, "It's past, the prime minister loves it's a bit clean... It's a shameful person."
The three ladies heard the words of Shishan and Shishui. When they saw that it was a group of noble people watching them, they were not afraid of saying "Several noble people don't know that we neighbors live in the Donkey Meat Hutong for generations, and we have grown up here since we were young... To be honest, we never thought that this alley could be so clean in our lives."
"The smelly mud on the street has been shoveled clean, and the walls have been painted fresh. I heard that we will repair the water gutter for us for a while. This is the prime minister's good policy, but the Hu family actually broke the pot water directly on the street like before, and the white wall opposite was dirty..."
"You smell this smell, and there is a smell of rotten water... We began to persuade them to turn me off. People who are so unreasonable cannot be polite. The Prime Minister spends money to make us scold people, and we must let them have a memory for the rest of their lives."
"Scholar Hu, please listen to me... If the Prime Minister supports us, we are not afraid of you. Then the Prime Minister will be able to eliminate your fame. The shameless old turtle will bring a family of little turtle..."
The verbal war began again, and the swear words escalated more and more. In the end, the Hu family couldn't stand it anymore. The female family in the family pushed open the door and started to fight back. But how could they be the opponents of Hongshouhoop? They were scolded and cried without even holding on for a quarter of an hour.
"Master, I'm not alive anymore... I'll die." The Hu family's wife sat on the threshold and kicked her legs, her eyes falling down.
Xiucai Hu really couldn't stand it, "Enough... it's insulting, you are insulting."
"Bah... you are still gentle. The gentleman just throws dirty water and garbage all over the streets. You are reading sages. I'll ask you, the sage's book allows you to throw garbage and dirty water everywhere. Do you still have to scatter and pee anywhere?"
"I'm shameless. If you have a sore urination on the spot, we won't scold you if you dare to pee."
Hu Xiucai was completely defeated. He covered his face with his hands and said, "What do you want, what do you want?"
"Go and buy white ash and clean the dirty walls. That's all." Hongxionghuo said snapping.
Hu Xiucai was stunned, "What, it's that simple. Didn't you send Xiao Letian to deliberately suppress our scholars? Such a big move is to clean it up."
The three red sleeves curled their mouths, "Oh, you deserve to let the Prime Minister suppress it. A sour scholar knows who you are. I tell you, today's big news is to get rid of your family's unhygienic habits... If you don't pay attention to it in the future, we will continue to scold you."
Hu Xiucai covered his face with his hands and agreed, "Immediately, I will ask the servants to buy white ash immediately. I will not dare to do it anymore, I will not dare to do it anymore."
The crowd dispersed. The Third Master and the others looked at the pickled walls on the wall and suddenly realized that Xiao Letian used violent means to make Sijiu City like a paradise on earth. So how can the Qing Dynasty keep it from withdrawing troops in the future?
"It can be imagined that if Xiao Letian withdraws his troops, Sijiu City will become dirty and messy again in less than half a year, and the rice price will not be stable. These goblins will not get three liters of rice. At that time, all the people will miss the period when Xiao Letian was in power... What a terrible method."
The third master listened to his brother's sigh and whispered, "So we need to innovate. The old path has been gone. If we don't actively change, we will end up with a destruction of the country..."
"I am now the second-rank top-notch. I will operate all the Westernization work in the Zongli Yamen. At that time, my brothers around me must help me. I will use Xiao Letian's resources to train a new army for our Qing Dynasty. We will also open our own Western school, and we will take the lead in reserve talents..."
"We also need to intervene in the business of Lotte Foreign Company. We must have our own wealth... In short, our reformists must create our own world and can no longer believe in the empty promises of the court. The coup in the Xinyou period has proved that the court is unreliable..."
"The future of Mankind must be in the hands of our reformists."
A city tour finally became a swearing ceremony for the reformists to firmly believe in. Xiao Letian's numerous methods have stimulated them from his soul.
