Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1678, Cut off people's wealth?
"Master Yu Shi wants to participate, that's up to you."

"Our magistrate is His Royal Highness the current Crown Prince. He said that he wants to improve the order, traffic and sanitation of the capital, and we can only obey orders."

Chen Jun just doesn't bother to pay attention to this Weng Hong, so what about the censor, our magistrate is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you go and participate.

"His Royal Highness, how could His Royal Highness do such a thing? As the crown prince and the heir apparent of the country, he should seek benefits for the people and be the master for the people. How could he do something that would cut off people's fortunes?"

"I have to take a good look at the book."

When Weng Hong heard this, he became even angrier.

The prince has always been far away from these civil servants, and Yang Ting and the teacher were annoyed by him and went home to retire. After that, the emperor did not find a great Confucian for the prince to be a teacher.

It's good now, after the crown prince became the magistrate, he actually did such a thing, there is no trace of the demeanor of a prince.

As a prince, he should be at the top of the temple, rule from the top down, be close to virtuous ministers and stay away from villains, and get in touch with them, civil servants and upright people, so that he can be a wise king.

But now, they have learned how to manage a small state capital, and even set up some urban management bureaus here to embarrass and oppose the ordinary people, how can this be the case.

"As you like~"

"move!"

Chen Juncai didn't care about these things, they were all retired soldiers, and they were naturally hostile to these civil servants. So far, these civil servants still refer to them as soldiers as Qiu Ba.

As soon as the others heard this, they immediately started to act, moving tables, stools, briquette stoves, stove tops, pots and pans to the car.

"My God!"

"The government is forcing the people to rebel."

"Officials bully the common people."

Liu Yishou and the others immediately became distressed, yelling and yelling continuously while robbing, and a large number of people eating melons gathered in a short distance.

But no matter what they called, Chen Jun and others remained unmoved and moved all these things clean. Later, Liu Yishou and others kept fighting with Chen Jun and others, even wanting to fight stand up.

"I'm warning you, we are following orders. If you continue to make trouble, you will be taken to jail at that time, so don't blame us."

Chen Jun looked at Liu Yishou and the others, and gave a stern warning.

After being yelled at by Chen Jun like this, Liu Yishou, Wang Shi and others immediately didn't dare to mess around anymore. The prestige of the ancient government is still very high, especially when they heard that they were about to be arrested and put in jail, they were even more frightened to death.

He could only watch helplessly as Chen Jun and others removed everything, including the vegetables of the uncles and ladies who came here to sell vegetables.

"That's average. Only then did I realize that the street was actually quite wide."

"Isn't that right, there used to be four-wheeled carriages here, but now it's difficult to walk."

"Now there are no such stalls, which is pretty good, at least it is convenient to walk, and there will be no more congestion."

"This official post also doesn't allow people to live, and they don't let them set up stalls. How will Liu Yishou and the others live in the future?"

"Don't worry about him. He can earn 200 taels a year by setting up a stall. How much can you earn a year?"

"What's more, you are not allowed to occupy the street to set up a stall. I didn't say that you are not allowed to open a store. You can rent a storefront to open a store. They occupy the street, not to save the rent."

"Their rent has been saved, but we have become more congested when walking in the past, and you look, look at this street, how dirty it has become now, it is greasy, dark and dirty, and those who come to the city The old man who sells vegetables in the street, they patted their buttocks and left after selling the vegetables, leaving behind a lot of soil and rotten leaves, and they didn’t even sweep some.”

"I have long felt that it is indeed time to take care of it."

"Yeah, some places really need to be taken care of. The stalls take up half of the street, which is very affecting everyone's appearance. I bought a bicycle and couldn't ride it."

"Look at the new city in the South District, how well planned and managed it is. There is no one occupying the road to do business in the New City in the South District. They have to make a living, and they also want to live a prosperous life. They do a lot of things. Beautiful and so clean."

"That's right. I haven't seen any business on the road in the new city of the South District. They are all renting shops and doing business in the shops, and there are many strict requirements, so they are very clean, and it is said that these Those who cook food have to go to the hospital for regular checkups, saying that there must be no infectious diseases, and they must pay attention to hygiene.”

"That's pretty good. You haven't noticed that some businesses are dirty to death. They don't wash their hands, and they continue to knead dough as soon as they catch their nose. You can't eat it when you see it."

"It's even more frightening to have an infectious disease. One spreads to ten, and ten spreads to hundreds. That's terrible."

"."

Many melon-eating people around watched it while discussing it. When the street was sorted out, the originally congested street suddenly became much smoother.

As for Liu Yishou and the others, they all wanted to cry but had no tears. The guys who eat have been moved away, and they will not be allowed to occupy the road to operate in the future. How will they live in the future?

On the other side, in the hall.

"Your Majesty, I want to impeach the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture!"

Weng Hongna was the first to stand up, his face full of indignation.

"The magistrate of Shuntian Prefecture?"

As soon as everyone heard this, they immediately looked at Weng Hong in unison. You are probably a fool. The prefect of Shuntian Prefecture is the current prince. He has only been in office for a few days, and you impeach him?

You're probably out of your mind.

The prince has offended you after only a few days as magistrate?
So much so that you are about to stand up and impeach him.

"Oh?"

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Weng Hong and motioned him to continue.

"Your Majesty, when I came to the court in the morning, I saw that the servants of the so-called urban management bureau established here in Shuntian Mansion disregarded the life and death of the people, cut off people's way of making a living, and forcibly confiscated the tools of the people for small business, so that people's resentment boiled over. , the people are extremely wronged."

Weng Hong was also very angry and told what he saw in the morning.

"Break people's way of earning a living, and people's resentment boils?"

When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he frowned immediately.

He knew about the Prince's establishment of the Urban Management Bureau.

The prince also made it clear in detail in the memorial, saying that for the traffic order, sanitation and image of the capital, he also set up a series of rules and regulations.

Unexpectedly, it would involve breaking the common people's way of earning a living and arousing public resentment.

"Your Majesty, I have a few questions and I want to ask Sir Weng."

Liu Jin thought for a while, then stood up and said.

"Hmm~"

Emperor Hongzhi nodded slightly, motioning for Liu Jin to ask.

"Master Weng, this way of cutting off people's livelihood, should we first distinguish whether this way of earning a living is legal and compliant, right?"

Liu Jin looked at Weng Hong, thought for a while and asked.

"Of course, illegal and criminal things will naturally be severely cracked down."

When Weng Hong heard this, he immediately nodded solemnly and said.

"The thing you just said should be that the city management is cleaning up the stalls and vendors that occupy the road?"

Liu Jin asked again.

"Yes, they are small vendors who set up stalls on the street to do business. They are the people at the bottom of our Daming. The lives of the neighbors in the neighbourhood."

Weng Hong nodded and replied.

"These hawkers have not done anything illegal or criminal, and the stalls they operate have also brought some convenience to everyone."

"But is this street a place for doing business and setting up stalls?"

"If everyone sets up a stall on the street to do business, can this road pass people?"

"The street is a place for people to walk and pass by, not a place for people to set up stalls or pile up sundries."

"Now in many streets in the capital, there are a lot of small stalls and hawkers who occupy the roads indiscriminately, which has seriously affected the traffic order in the capital. It's dirty and smelly."

"The prefect of Shuntian prefecture established the Urban Management Bureau for the purpose of rectifying these small stalls and hawkers operating indiscriminately, and maintaining the order and sanitation of the capital."

"It's not about cutting off people's wealth and stirring up public resentment as Mr. Weng said. If this trend continues, will this small stall be able to be placed at the gate of the palace in the future?"

Liu Jin looked at Weng Hong, this Weng Hong is a typical guy who can't do anything, but the shit-stirring stick is definitely the number one, these censors and the like are basically like shit-stirring sticks exist.

"What Liu Gong said is reasonable."

"It's the same in the place where I live. Small vendors occupy more than half of the road to set up stalls. Although it is convenient for everyone to have breakfast or something, it is really inconvenient to travel, and even bicycles are not allowed to go there."

"In addition, I also feel that these small vendors really don't pay attention to hygiene. The streets they make are dirty and smelly. Sometimes the garbage is not cleaned up. In summer, it emits an extremely unpleasant pungent smell."

"I also thought it was time to take care of it. There are more and more people in the capital, but the roads are getting narrower and narrower, making it extremely inconvenient to travel. In addition, the Jiangnan epidemic is also a reminder that we should always pay attention to infectious diseases. Many stalls and hawkers themselves are constantly coughing, runny nose and so on, but they are still operating normally."

"It's okay if there are no infectious diseases. If there is an infectious disease like Jiangnan schistosomiasis, wouldn't it infect many people at once?"

"I also thought that we should take care of it. There is no one in the new town of the South District to run the business. I also heard that the people who do small business here are starving to death. Everyone rents a shop to run the business. It's the same, and it can be better. Conduct regular management and inspections."

"In the old city, there are many people and little land, and the streets are narrow. It will be even more inconvenient to travel here if you allow stalls to be set up at random."

After Liu Jin's words fell, many ministers immediately stood up to express their support.
