Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 971, Old Fly and Tiger

"Catch the school?"

When Zhang Mao heard this, he couldn't help being slightly taken aback.

"You seem to like to build all kinds of schools, starting from Tianjin Maritime Academy, Shipbuilding Academy, Royal Military Academy, Medical Academy, New School, Mechanical Academy, Engineering Academy, counting it all, big and small, all kinds of schools You don’t know how many colleges like this have been built.”

"Now we're going to build a police school again. I really don't understand you."

Zhang Mao looked at Liu Jin in front of him. To be honest, he really didn't understand Liu Jin. What was this Liu Jin after?
"Mr. Zhang, I wonder if you have heard a word?"

"Set up your mind for the heaven and earth, set up your destiny for the life and the people, follow the sages of the past, and create peace for the world!"

"I hope that after thousands of years, everyone will remember Liu Jin, an educator, not Liu Jin, Duke of Liao in Ming Dynasty."

Liu Jin replied with a smile.

"That's it~"

Hearing Liu Jin's words, Zhang Mao couldn't help but nodded, and then sighed: "As expected of a disciple of a master, it's far beyond what ordinary people like me can understand."

"Haha, Mr. Zhang is overrated."

"I just thought that Beijing, Tianjin, and Songhu have a lot of land. If some schools are not built, these lands will not be available until the Year of the Monkey."

Liu Jin said with a happy smile.

"...Are you deliberately angry with me? When it comes to those lands, I regret it. I sold you a few taels of silver for an acre. Now the land around the capital costs hundreds of taels of silver for an acre. Don't you It’s okay, if you say so, hurry up and sell some land and return it to me.”

When Zhang Mao heard this, he was speechless.

When it came to the land, he really regretted it. In order to raise money to go to sea for business, he almost sold all the land in the British government to Liu Jin.

At the beginning, it was a few taels of silver per mu of land, but now the land around the capital has risen to several hundred taels of silver per mu of land, a difference of hundreds of times, and the land in the capital is still continuously appreciating.

"Old Zhang, you are acting like a hooligan. You sold the land back then, and now you don't know how much money you have made by relying on the money. When you were ashamed to tell me about this land, the land in South Africa and the big island of East Africa As much as you want."

When Liu Jin heard this, he immediately curled his lips and said.

"Sell some at the market price to my head office. You are a man who is full and doesn't know how hungry a man is. You hold a lot of land in your hands. You and His Royal Highness have bought up all the land in Beijing, Tianjin, and Songhu."

"You can engage in real estate and sell houses in a leisurely and planned manner. As for us, we have no land, and now we almost have no land to build houses."

Zhang Mao shook his head helplessly, talking about business with Liu Jin, it is better not to try to take advantage of him, otherwise he will not know how he will die, just like when he thought he sold the land to Liu Jin and took advantage of himself, As a result, my intestines are now green with regret.

"Old Zhang, let me tell you, you are too eager for quick success. You have built so much land in a very short period of time. No amount of land is enough for you to do this."

"This house is not just a house. If you want to sell it at a good price, you can't rely on cement and steel bars alone, and you need supporting facilities."

"Like this school, factory, street, vegetable market, etc., you built it too quickly. Many supporting facilities are not available, and it is a mess. Look at these properties under my command. All the supporting facilities are neatly arranged. The houses are sold. The ones are more expensive than yours, and they sell faster than yours, and the annual income of the store is enough to lie down and eat."

When it came to selling land, Liu Jin couldn't help shaking his head.

In the past few years, the real estate industry has become more and more popular. There are too many people coming in from Beijing and Tianjin. The two places in Beijing and Tianjin have a population of tens of millions. There are too many houses in need.

This has also led to the rapid development of the real estate industry in Beijing. No matter how many houses are sold, housing prices and land prices are also rising, which also makes Liu Jin earn a lot of money.

"Standing and talking doesn't hurt my back. If I hold a large piece of land in my hand like you, I can plan it neatly."

Zhang Mao curled his lips, then thought for a while and said, "I will bring up the issue of the police school to His Majesty, and it is indeed necessary to build a professional school for police officers."

"Especially in big cities, there are more and more crimes. However, the arrests and guards in the yamen are not professional enough, their level is limited, and their manpower is also limited. The detection rate is often very low. This is also an important reason for the rampant gangs. Because they have no scruples."

"In addition to these, look, these are the problems reflected from below."

"Gangs, road thugs, road bandits, pirates, etc. are all easy to attack. Once the army arrives, almost all of them can be wiped out. But among the local evil forces, many of them have backers."

Zhang Mao handed a document to Liu Jin and said.

Zhang Mao and Xiao Jing are in charge of the anti-criminal and evil operations. The factory guards led by Xiao Jing are mainly responsible for intelligence work. It is Zhang Mao who is responsible for the five who really know the evil forces in various places. The military governor's office came to execute.

Now all over the country are launching a swift and vigorous anti-crime work, and the progress of each place is constantly gathering up, and at the same time, there are also problems encountered by each place.

One of the big problems is that the evil forces in many places, local hooligans and the like, all have backers behind them.

"What's so strange about this, how can someone without a backer be able to be domineering."

Liu Jin smiled and took the information, and read it carefully.

There is no need to say anything about this. This phenomenon is very common in later generations. The so-called tiger and fly swatting together are talking about the tiger behind the fly.

Opening the file, Liu Jin looked at it very casually.

So-and-so in a certain place is domineering, bullying the market, bullying the fish and meat township, bullying men and women. The factory guard checked and found out that he is the younger brother of the local magistrate's concubine.

There are also people with a certain surname occupying one side, in broad daylight, robbing women from the people, etc. After careful investigation, it turns out that there are people from the clan who are officials in the court.

There is also a bully in a certain place, relying on the support of the people behind him, to monopolize all the sales of one side, while buying goods from the common people at low prices, and on the other hand, forcing foreign businessmen to buy at high prices.

There are too many things like this, and the entire Ming Dynasty is far from being as peaceful and prosperous as imagined, and there are similar situations in almost every place.

The better places are some hooligans who bully men and women, and bully the common people. In some remote areas, the local local snakes have even become lawless. The common people dare not speak out, and there is nothing they can do.

"Changli county bully Tang Huhu..."

Looking at and looking at Liu Jin, he saw the situation of some state capitals in Beizhili, and he naturally cared about his hometown, and immediately saw Tang Huhu.

"Tang Tiger~"

Seeing this name, Liu Jin couldn't help but feel a slight pain in his head, and then he remembered that the original owner of this body before he transmigrated was actually killed by Tang Huo, and as a result, his soul transmigrated, and the dove occupied the magpie's nest .

Thinking of this, Liu Jin looked carefully again.

Tang Huhu was a well-known bully in Changli County. He was able to run rampant in the village only because he had a younger brother of a fifth-rank official. When Liu Jin was a scholar, he ordered people to murder Liu Jin just to establish his dignity.

"Tang Yun, magistrate of Yanqing Prefecture!"

"It's pretty close."

"I've always forgotten about this matter, mainly because I am a time traveler, so I don't have much hatred for this Tang Huo, but since I have inherited all this, I will naturally vent this anger on your behalf. "

Liu Jin pondered for a while, thinking carefully in his mind.

At first, I almost forgot about Tang Huhu, but now I recall it again. Even so, I still want to take revenge.

"Mr. Zhang, how do you think this matter should be done?"

Liu Jin thought about it and asked.

"Didn't I come to ask you? In your words, the local hooligans are easy to get rid of. The key is that the backers behind them are all local officials. They didn't commit any crimes themselves. Even if they did, they didn't I will take care of it, and you, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, will take care of it."

Zhang Mao replied with a smile.

The eradication of evil is also slowly sweeping away from big evil forces such as bandits, road thugs, gangs, pirates, and kings of the mountain to small evil forces such as hooligans and bullies.

Compared with the big black and evil forces, these small black and evil forces are more troublesome, because there are too many of them, and they all have backers, so they can easily offend other civil and military ministers, and Lao Zhang has always People who are all slick and slick don't like to offend people.

"I don't know how to do it, I'd better leave it to His Majesty for the Holy Order."

Liu Jin pondered for a while, and said after thinking about it.

Officials in the Ming Dynasty, in fact, are mainly corrupt. There are many corrupt officials, but there is no way to do it, because the salary of the Ming Dynasty is too low. Among the official salaries of all dynasties, it is the lowest in the Ming Dynasty.

Hai Rui, an upright official, was so poor that he almost starved to death. This shows how low the salaries of officials in the Ming Dynasty were. You must know that Hai Rui's officials are not small.

Salaries were too low, so there were many corrupt officials in the Ming Dynasty, and many officials would wantonly annex land after they became officials. There is a lot of land behind the officials.

Similarly, behind almost every official, in the hometown of his hometown, the family members of these officials are all over the top, annexing land, and monopolizing some local businesses. This is a very common thing.

Compared with later generations, the officials of the Ming Dynasty still lack restraint in this matter, not only restraint on themselves, but also restraint on the families of these officials, coupled with the existence of clan power, in this regard, the problem is still quite serious.
