Ming Dynasty man

Chapter 362 The Grasshopper on a Rope
Seeing Li Jing's serious face, Ma Wu hurriedly said: "Brother, brother, I know I was wrong, don't be angry, hit me if you should, and punish me if you should, don't get angry."

"Fifth brother, fifth brother, let me tell you what's good about you! How can we do such a thing? What's the difference between doing this and forcing a good man into prostitution?" Li Jing said, pointing at Ma Wu.

After speaking, Li Jing turned his head to look at Yang Liufeng and said, "And you, Shen Xing, you are in charge of the Ministry of Punishment, and you don't know the laws I made? If you take the lead in doing this, the people below still don't follow suit? Then let's What use is the law made?"

Seeing that the two of them lowered their heads and looked like I was wrong, Li Jing sighed and said, "You guys! Why don't you use your brains when doing things? We made the laws, but we take the lead in not obeying them. How do the people below abide by it? The so-called upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked, can Daming be rejuvenated by doing so?"

"Marshal, this matter is my fault, you punish me!" Yang Liufeng continued.

Li Jing glared at Yang Liufeng: "Punish you? Is it useful to punish you now? I originally wanted you to take over from my father-in-law, but how can I feel at ease if you do this?"

Seeing Yang Liufeng's face gradually turning pale, Li Jing suddenly felt a little unbearable, and sighed: "Forget it, it's useless to talk about it now, let's think about how to deal with the aftermath."

Yang Liufeng said quickly after hearing the words: "I'll have someone release these women immediately!"

After listening to Yang Liufeng finish this sentence, Li Jing gave Yang Liufeng another look and said, "What about after they are released? How will these women live in the future?"

Yang Liufeng was stunned, not knowing how to answer.

"Forget it, I guess you can't think of a solution right now. I've already figured out a solution for you! I've already had someone notify Wujie to come over. He'll come later, so let's think about it together." Li Jing sighed.

"Yes!" Yang Liufeng said hurriedly.

"Sit down, I don't invite you to sit down, can't you sit down yourself? Make tea and drink by yourself, I don't want to talk to you today." Li Jing said.

Upon hearing this, Ma Wu hurriedly said, "Brother has caused so much trouble for eldest brother, how can I have the face to sit and drink tea?"

"Don't talk to me about these useless things. Now you know you have no face? Why did you go so early? Sit down quickly and don't stand in the way." Li Jing couldn't help but chuckled.

Seeing Li Jing showing his face, Ma Wu and Yang Liufeng let out a sigh of relief.

As soon as he relaxed, Yang Liufeng's wit came back immediately, remembering that Li Jing called Fang Fang, Yang Liufeng understood what Li Jing was going to do after a little thought.

Sitting down in front of Li Jing, Yang Liufeng said with a shy smile, "Is the commander planning to build a factory in Beijing?"

Li Jing glared at Yang Liufeng and said, "Now you are smart again, and you know how to solve the lives of those women? Why did you go there just now?"

"Hey, Commander, I didn't dare to get angry just now, how could I think of a way?" Yang Liufeng laughed.

Hearing this, Li Jing couldn't help but chuckled.

Seeing that the tense atmosphere in the room eased, several girls hurried out to boil water and make tea.

After the tea is brewed, the equation arrives.

After Fang Fang entered the room, he bowed and saluted, "If there is no solution, please refer to the commander."

"Wujie is here, why are you so polite at home? Come, please sit down!" Li Jing laughed.

Fang Fang smiled, bowed to Ma Wu and Yang Liufeng again, and said, "The two adults are here too!"

Ma Wu and Yang Liufeng smiled awkwardly, and hurriedly returned the gift to Fang.

"Marshal, why didn't you rest? What's the matter with calling us so late?" Fang Fang asked after sitting down.

Li Jing glanced at Ma Wu and Yang Liufeng, waved his hands and said, "I have something to discuss with you."

Ma Wu and Yang Liufeng felt relieved when they heard that Li Jing was covering for them.

"That's right, there's no solution. I plan to open several factories in the capital, such as textiles, clothing, hats, shoes, printing and dyeing, etc. You can think about it and see if it works." Li Jing continued.

"Opening such a factory! I have thought about it before, but the capital city is no better than Pingyang Prefecture. Although there are many people, it is difficult to recruit female workers. I have been thinking about it for a while, and I think it may not be possible for the time being." Fang Fang said.

Li Jingjing nodded and said with a smile to Fang Fang: "No solution, you are right in thinking, it is true, the capital is not like Pingyang Prefecture, there are not so many victims of disasters, naturally it is impossible to recruit female workers, but I think the factory still needs to be opened, as for the manpower? , have you seen these girls? They were in the Jiaofang Division before, and they were all family members of prisoners."

"Jiaofang Division? The commander-in-chief means to let the women in the Jiaofang Division come out to work?" Fang Fang asked suspiciously.

Equation naturally knows what Jiaofang Division is. When he went to Beijing to rush for the exam, he lived in Beijing for a period of time, and he was once absurd in Jiaofang Division.

Seeing Li Jing nodding with a smile, Fang Fang understood that Li Jing had already planned to do this.

After pondering the equation for a while, he said: "It's not impossible to let the women in Jiaofang Division come out to work, but there are many problems involved in it. First, the marshal wants to pardon the family members of these prisoners. Second, most of the family members of these prisoners have no After working, it takes a period of training for them to work, and thirdly, they need to solve the problem of food and housing for them.

The first problem is easy to solve, the commander-in-chief can do it with just a pardon, the second point is more troublesome, I need to transfer some skilled workers from Pingyang Mansion to teach them, the most difficult thing is the third point, so many people Board and lodging is not a good solution.These people are family members of prisoners, their property has been confiscated, I guess they are homeless, so where should they live?They can only be allowed to live in the factory.In this way, the scale of the factory must be large enough, but it is not easy to find a place in the capital that can accommodate so many people, and we are not a factory, so it may not be easy to open so many. "

Li Jing couldn't stop nodding when he heard the equation. After the equation was finished, Li Jing said: "There must be difficulties, but I think the way you think about the problem is not right. Think about it, what is the biggest problem for us to build a factory? We can't recruit female workers, but now we have people, which means that the biggest difficulty has been solved, so what kind of difficulty is left? Isn't it just building factories?
With so many officials being raided last time, the confiscated houses wouldn't be all sold, right?The residences of these prison officials are not small, and it should not be a big problem to convert them into factories. If you think it is not enough, you can buy the adjacent courtyards, and I think it will be fine with a little tidying up.what do you say? "

"Hehe, this matter has to be dispatched by the commander-in-chief, because it also involves the affairs of the Ministry of Household Affairs. If you don't speak up, how dare they hand over the prisoner's house to the Ministry of Industry without permission." Fang Fang laughed. .

Li Jingwen said with a smile: "It's no problem, I'll tell my father-in-law later, let him send someone to show you the houses that haven't been sold, and then you can choose a few."

"Hehe, if the commander-in-chief said so, then there is no problem." Fang Fang laughed.

After a pause, Fang Fang continued: "As for the matter of pardon, you have to let me handle it. You have to hand over the pardon to me. Don't let people go here, and they will run away without a trace."

"Hahaha, people are still precious, right? Okay, I'll give you the pardon, and you take the pardon to the Jiaofang Division to lead people. In addition, it's not enough to have only women, and a lot of physical work has to be done by men. In this way, I will give you If you give me a pardon, all the male criminals who have committed minor crimes in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice will be given to you. But you have to check this matter carefully with Shen Xing, and don’t let me release those who shouldn’t be released." Li Jing said with a big smile .

"Is it appropriate to work with prisoners?" Fang Fang hesitated and asked.

"There is nothing inappropriate or inappropriate. These people have committed crimes, and they have to be supported while staying in the prison. It is also a punishment to come out to work, and it is only right and proper to work and eat, so we can save a lot of wages. But we have to reduce the sentence for those who work hard." Li Jing laughed.

After hearing this, Fang Fang burst out laughing: "The commander-in-chief is so clever, so why don't those prisoners work hard?"

Li Jing smiled and said, "That's the truth."

After a pause, Li Jing continued: "However, you have to remember that although those people are criminals, we can't be harsh, and we must treat them equally as normal workers within the rules."

Fang Fang nodded and said: "I understand. The prisoners we use are all criminals with minor crimes. They will be released in a short time. If you want to keep them working, you have to treat them as human beings, otherwise you will definitely run away."

"Yes, this is the human heart. If the workers in a factory change frequently, it won't work. The reason why those factories in Pingyang Prefecture are doing better and better is because the workers are getting more and more familiar with them. These skilled workers are the most valuable asset of the factory. .” Li Jing laughed.

Fang Fang nodded silently upon hearing this.

After thinking about it, Li Jing took off the pen on the table, found two pieces of paper and wrote his name on the bottom, and then ordered Xiao Wu to stamp the seal.

Asking Xiao Wu to hand over two pieces of paper to the equation, Li Jing said: "There is no solution, you know better than me who and how many people you need, so you can do it yourself, I will not give you any restrictions."

Seeing that Li Jing actually gave the equation two blank slips with Li Jing's signature, Ma Wu and Yang Liufeng were shocked.

The two never expected that Li Jing would trust Fang so much, because these two rules can mobilize all of Daming's resources, not to mention releasing a few people, even all the prisoners in Daming can be released. .

"Marshal." Fang Fang saw that Li Jing trusted him so much, his hands trembled for a while.

Waving his hand, Li Jing smiled and said, "Do you feel a little pressure? You don't need to do this. Tell me, if I don't even trust you guys, who else can I trust? To be honest, our brothers are all a rope The grasshopper on the ground can't run away and you can't jump me."

"Hey!" Ma Wu and the others immediately laughed when they heard this.

"Okay, it's getting late, let's all go back and rest. I won't keep you guys here." Li Jing got up and smiled.

"Brother, don't be so busy, go to bed early." Ma Wu said hurriedly.

Gently patted Ma Wu on the shoulder, then looked at Yang Liufeng and Fang Fang, Li Jing smiled and said: "Fifth brother, be careful, you are the same if you have no solution, pay attention to your body."

Ma Wu and the others nodded slightly when they heard the words.

After sending Ma Wu and the others away, Li Jing was about to go back to his study when he suddenly heard Xiao Wu say, "Father, are you still not resting?"
