Chapter 1535 The power of rumors is really scary

Su Yonglin went south all the way, and also learned about the development status of Daming Station all the way.

In fact, it can be known from the folk rumors that the standard of food in Daming Station is really good or not. Otherwise, it is not enough to be famous among the people, so that in some places, [post station dishes] other than palace dishes have begun to spread.

In terms of specific development, Su Yonglin learned that because of the fine financial management of the post station management system under the Ministry of Finance and the strict auditing of the audit department, although the level of food and drink has improved a lot, the spending has not increased much.

Many high-quality ingredients are purchased from collective farms in the surrounding areas of the inn. The distance from the inn is short, the transportation cost is low, and it is directly negotiated with the collective farm. If you buy a large quantity, you can get a discount, so you will spend less money. .

In addition, because the Ming Dynasty cultivated and employed a large number of mathematical talents, a large number of mathematical talents were often invested in the management of the station.

They will estimate the flow of people in a certain station based on statistical results over a long period of time, and determine the amount of food that needs to be consumed every day according to the flow of people and the content of the menu reported by the station, and then use this as the main standard to guide the purchasing department of the station. Purchase quantity and frequency.

After more precise calculations, the station has made great improvements in the purchase, storage and utilization of food, which has greatly saved a sum of food waste and a lot of money, making Lin Jingchun very happy. Happy.

To this end, the Ministry of Finance also issued bonuses to the post management department.

After Su Yonglin entered the territory of Shandong, he was greeted by the team arranged by Wang Hongjin, the provincial counselor and political officer.

Originally, Wang Hongjin wanted to come over to greet him, but Su Yonglin refused, and let Wang Hongjin handle government affairs with peace of mind, not to be distracted by himself.

So Wang Hongjin did not come in person, but arranged for Ren Pengyi, the director of the Shandong General Public Security Bureau, and Song Rui, the deputy director of the propaganda branch of the Shandong Renaissance Society, to meet Su Yonglin and arrange some things for him.

Ren Pengyi and Song Rui waited for Su Yonglin at the Xinzhen Station in Jinan Prefecture. After Su Yonglin and his entourage of more than 500 people arrived, they held a welcome banquet for Su Yonglin.

Because they knew that Su Yonglin didn't like extravagance and waste, they just asked the inn to prepare ingredients for Su Yonglin in advance according to the standards of the inn. The standard of four dishes and one soup for four people, Su Yonglin greeted Su Yong, and joined Ren Pengyi and Song Rui to join a table. .

Two meat dishes, mutton with onion and lion head, two vegetarian dishes, stir-fried green leafy vegetables and fried shallots, plus an egg soup, did not exceed the quality of the inn.

So Su Yonglin was quite satisfied, and greeted the big guys to bury their heads in cooking together.

After taking a few big bites to relieve the hunger in his stomach, Su Yonglin began to eat slowly, and had a conversation with Ren Pengyi and Song Rui by the way.

Ren Pengyi was an official who had just been transferred from the Central Capital Cabinet to Shandong to set up a public security department. He was close to Su Yonglin. He reported his work achievements in Shandong while eating.

Su Yonglin expressed satisfaction when he learned that he had basically completed the construction of the General Bureau of Public Security in Shandong Province and started to set up branches in various prefectures.

"The formation of the public security department was proposed by me, because only relying on the old unorganized team to maintain law and order is feasible when the population is small, but with the development of Ming Dynasty, the population will continue to rise.

At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the population was only less than 6000 million. Now 12 years have passed, and the population has increased greatly. In the tenth year of Hongwu, the population of the Ming Dynasty had reached 6000 million, and it is obvious to continue to grow.

In the past, a county with a population of 10,000+ was considered a large county, and a county with a population of tens of thousands was not considered a small county. There were also counties with a population of less than 30. It is normal to have a population of 50 in the second county and [-] in the third county.

Therefore, we urgently need a professional public security department to maintain local order and ensure the daily life and life safety of the people. Your responsibilities are very important. You must be cautious about this matter, and you must not slack off. "

Ren Pengyi nodded, indicating that he understood.

Next was Song Rui. Facing Song Rui, Su Yonglin's expression became more serious.

"This time, there is a big problem with your propaganda mouth in Shandong. Regarding these problems, I hope you can be alert and improve. Do you understand?"

Song Rui looked ashamed and nodded again and again.

From the perspective of propaganda outlets in Shandong, the reason why Su Yonglin appeared here is to wipe their buttocks for their propaganda outlets in a sense. If the propaganda department did not respond to this public opinion crisis in time, the situation would not have reached this point. .

As the deputy director, Su Yonglin still understands the danger of coming to Shandong this time.

So he was quite ashamed.

"This mistake, my subordinates have carried out deep reflection, and we have done all the things you explained."

Before he set off, Su Yonglin instructed the Shandong propaganda outlet to broadcast his itinerary every day, informing the Shandong people of Su Yonglin's whereabouts, telling them where Su Yonglin had gone, and telling them that Su Yonglin was approaching them and was on his way to see them.

Because of such news, even if the restless people were still suspicious, they had to be affected by such a detailed and accurate report of the journey. As a result, the gradually warming public opinion was controlled to a certain extent, and some discordant voices were also quiet. a lot.

Before the news of Su Yonglin going south to Shandong came out, there had even been rumors in Yizhou and Juzhou areas such as [Go to Zhongdu to find someone who betrayed the revolution and ask for an explanation], which also affected a considerable number of people and made them angry.

Not only did this happen among the public groups, but also in the grassroots organizations of the revival societies of the collective farms. Many cadres were worried about Su Yonglin's safety and the situation in the Central Capital, and they felt anxious.

Affected by them, the militias affiliated to collective farms in certain areas have even started combat readiness operations, and they are very much on the verge of actually taking action.

As an old revolutionary base, as the place where Su Yonglin started his business and the main source of his army, there is no doubt that the action force of the big men in Shandong has always been strong.

In particular, the local area is also the place where collective farms and industrial workshops were first laid out. It is the area with the highest proportion of collective farms and industrial workers in the country. Coupled with the experienced grass-roots organizations of the Renaissance, the grass-roots mobilization force of Shandong land ranks first in the country. .

Before the Northern Expedition of the Restoration Army and the Southern Expedition of the Ming Army, large-scale transportation forces from Shandong were used each time. The Shandong region mobilized hundreds of thousands of people to help the army transport logistics materials.

The rumors spread so deeply this time that some grassroots organizations of the Revival Society were incited, suspicious of Su Yonglin's decision to abdicate, distrusting China, and feeling that Su Yonglin was in danger.

Therefore, there is frequent contact between grassroots organizations, and there is quite a kind of posture that they want to stir up the situation and go to see Su Yonglin's posture. Although there are different views on this within the grassroots organizations, they do not support the use of force, and try their best to organize, but the power of rumors is really terrifying.

Before the news of Su Yonglin's southward arrival in Shandong, even some county-level revival organizations had such voices.

It was not until the news of Su Yonglin's southern tour came to Shandong, and with the daily update of Su Yonglin's southward route, this voice was temporarily suppressed.
