Chapter 178: Borrowing Soldiers 2

The ingredients of the simple side dishes are mostly taken from bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest. It is just this ordinary side dish that changes different techniques in Liu Ruyan's hands, turning it into a delicious dish, giving us the feeling of being like a pheasant flying up to the branch and turning into a phoenix. Even Mr. Han, who was not very comfortable in his heart, praised Liu Ruyan's superb skills.

Gongsun and his son were laughing, but I guess they didn't even eat anything. Hey! There is no way. For the two rivals in the dynasty who could sit together for dinner, let alone them, even the ministers in the dynasty rarely saw each other, let alone them. Facing the two most powerful people sitting next to him, except for someone who is not as thick-skinned as me. The rest of the people who can taste it really is

Can't find a few.

After dinner, Gongsun and his son quickly found an excuse to leave, but I didn't stop him. I happened to have something to discuss with Master Han and Yang Linguang, and the content involved the matter of the Fourth Movement Chamber of Commerce. It was somewhat inconvenient for Gongsun and his son to have it.

After he left, we moved to the pavilion of the fairy pavilion. Jing'er made a cup of tea for us, but we didn't see Liu Ruyan.

I felt a little strange and asked, "Why didn't Miss Ruyan come out?"

Jing'er finally filled my teacup and said softly: "You will know later!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a sound of piano broke the quiet night. We looked at the sound of piano. In another pavilion, Liu Ruyan was sitting in front of a small table, posing a piano on the small table, and the sound of piano flowed out of her ten fingers like flowing water.

At first I decided to be familiar with the sound of the piano, but I didn't hear exactly what it was, so I could only listen patiently. The faces of Taishi Han and Yang Linguang also showed attractive expressions. They are different from people like me who have no musical cells and have research on chess, calligraphy and painting. So when I heard the sound of the piano, I heard that the person who played the piano had extraordinary achievements on the piano.

After the piano sounded for a while, she gently opened her cherry lips, and a song that was as familiar to me as "Laughing the Red Dust" entered our ears:

Smiling in the sea

The surging tide between the straits

Only remember the current day

The sky smiles

Trends in the world

Who will lose and who will win will be the best

Smiling in the mountains

Misty rain

How many arrogance are there in the world?

A smile on the breeze

It's a silence

The passion is left

One-piece night photo

...

When I arrived at the back, I couldn't help singing along. Slowly, Liu Ruyan's voice became weaker, and my voice gradually became louder, and the song echoed throughout the bamboo forest.

I sang this song to Jian Rufeng at the beginning. Later, when I was in the pleasure boat, I gave it to Yingying again. I didn’t expect to listen to it here today. This song also aroused my thoughts: the so-called not being in his position or not being a certain rule. In the year when I hid in the mountain village, I seemed very casual. I drank and ate meat with my brothers all day, and as the lyrics meant, I was free to smile and proud in the world. But when I found my place, I saw it in the capital alone, and what I saw was shocking. Until now, the old man’s turbid eyes and the young man with whip marks were supposed to be clear but full of hatred have been in my mind, and I felt that there were countless pairs of such eyes that were always staring at me in the dark.   The hatred in these eyes was scared when I thought about it.

I asked myself that I was not a timid person. I dared not change my face when facing assassination, but these eyes scared me, and it was a chill that aroused from my heart from the bottom of my heart. All of this was caused by our poor supervision and improper employment. The cement kiln, which originally wanted to solve the life problems of more people, has become a nightmare for workers. Now the problem has already emerged, and it must be solved.

So after the song was over, I didn't care that the old man in front of me was the one who asked me to die. He knelt down and respectfully kowtowed, begging: "The student asked the teacher to agree to the student's request."

At first, everyone was listening to my singing seriously, but unexpectedly, as soon as I finished singing, I knelt on the ground. She respectfully kowtowed to Master Han, which shocked everyone present. Yang Linguang's face on one side was even more confused: The person in front of me is really Deng Long, the arrogant, domineering and talented young man on the upper hand?

Mr. Han was also confused by my kneeling, and there was no slight trick in my voice, just like Yang Linguang. He didn't believe it in his eyes. But he immediately realized that I must have something to ask for. He quickly protected me and said, "Get up and talk!"

After I got up, Yang Linguang interjected and said, "If you have anything, just tell me."

Seeing that the prime ministers on the side spoke, I said, "I beg my teacher to say to Gujing Mansion (the department in charge of the capital city security is similar to Shangling's yamen) and lend me the yamen 200."

"Ah?" Even though the two of them were the chief ministers of the current dynasty, they were still quite surprised by my request. After a brief silence, Grand Master Han asked, "What are you doing with your troops?"

Since I wanted to borrow soldiers, I had nothing to hide, so I said, "I'll tell you, I'm going to borrow soldiers to deal with the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce!"

Then I explained in detail what I saw and heard today. After saying that, I said again: "Although I was named a third-rank general by the emperor today, I am a military officer and have no right to lead troops to arrest people!"

"But you can handle this matter as the main person in charge of your own chamber of commerce." Yang Linguang asked in confusion. "You are like leading your troops to arrest your own people, and then suing your own people. In the end, even if those people are detained and sentenced, you will have a bad reputation."

I shook my head and said, "You don't know that if I use my identity as the head of the chamber of commerce to suppress them, even if the problem is solved in the end, I can expel them from the chamber of commerce and let the chamber of commerce never hire them again. In fact, this is useless at all. This punishment is very light for them. At the beginning, they probably knew that something happened, it would be such a punishment, so they were unscrupulous. When something has not risen to the stage where the law can intervene, it has no effect on relying solely on the chamber of commerce or individual consciousness. Why didn’t the workshop abuse workers in Shangling? At that time, because when they signed the joint use, the government played a supervisory role. If the workers were treated unfairly, they could report to the officials, and if they had a contract, they had the right to hold them accountable. But in the capital, the government did not have such a system, so there was no basis for protecting those workers, leaving workers unable to sue. Even if I came forward as the highest person in the chamber of commerce, I could only suppress them for a while. When I no longer have the capital one, the current situation will reappear.

After I picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea to moisten my throat, I continued, "I joined forces with the other three companies to form the current Fourth Movement Chamber of Commerce. On one hand, I was to make money, and on the other hand, I was to let the people have a meal and don't have to worry about tomorrow's livelihood. The Chamber of Commerce made a lot of money, but most of this money was spent on the local people except for the restaurants every year. The Fourth Movement Chamber of Commerce also gained its reputation today because of this. These people not only destroyed the reputation that the Chamber of Commerce finally built, but what was even more hateful is that they actually sold counterfeit goods, deceived and squeezed workers under the reputation of the Fourth Movement Chamber of Commerce."

Speaking of this, I couldn't help but feel anger in my heart and said viciously: "For these people, whether they are from the Chamber of Commerce or not from the Chamber of Commerce, I will never let them go! For these people, it is too cheap to expel them. I will take them as a dogma and let people from other local branches of the Fourth Movement Chamber of Commerce see the consequences of such people. I also want to tell them that I will not let go of those who dare to bully others everywhere in the name of the Chamber of Commerce!"

After hearing what I said, the Taishi felt cold. He had never understood the character of the person in front of him: looking at what he did, he could be regarded as loving the people as his son and having a good reputation among the people. But once he angered him, the fate of those people must be very tragic, and this is not a matter of time or twice.

I saw that the Taishi always looked at me but didn't say anything, and I felt a little anxious: Although everyone is drinking tea and chatting together, and I also call him the teacher, I know in my heart that if he refuses now, I have no choice. This made me feel very powerless for the first time, and this feeling is very unhappy.

Yang Linguang next to him saw that the Grand Master did not speak, and said, "Actually, I still agree with your opinion. The key question now is how you plan to deal with them."

Mr. Han on the side also said, "Your idea is actually my agreement. Those who oppress the people should also be eliminated soon. But you have never thought that this is the business of your chamber of commerce. Now that the government has to come forward, it is inevitable that there is something wrong with the government. And you might as well tell you that this phenomenon of oppressing workers is very common in some places in the capital. In Shangling, your four chambers of commerce have the greatest influence. If you want to cooperate with you, you must listen to you. Treating workers is exactly one of you. In order to make money, these people have to do this even if they are unwilling to do so. But it is different in the capital. Each family is in charge of their own affairs and only wants to make money. Exploding workers is a shortcut to make money. If your chamber of commerce problems lead to the government, it will definitely make these families suffer. It will not be wonderful to arouse their unification opposition at that time."

Yang Linguang on the side also nodded and sighed: "It's still the Taishi who can see far, this is indeed a problem!"

I was slightly stunned. I had never thought about this problem. It was indeed my negligence. But it was not impossible to solve it. In the original society, workers worked with peace of mind. If their rights were violated, they had laws to follow!

So I smiled slightly: "In fact, it is not difficult to solve this problem. The key is to rely on your help!"
