Chapter 50: Change the soup without changing the medicine
Four coal wells, about a hundred acres of land, highlands and hills, are surrounded by a two-person-high barbed wire fence. Although it is not like a large coal mine with built bunkers, miners have to search all over when entering and leaving, and not a single cinder can be found.
Take it out.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, hundreds of coal black men gathered in front of a row of wooden houses in the mining area. The wooden houses were the office areas of the managers.
A dozen mutilated, inhuman black workers have been sent to the health center. These miners have a faint feeling that something terrible is going to happen.
The gray-haired old man standing on a wooden pile, wearing a short-sleeved shirt and shouting at the top of his lungs, was Liu Sili's father, Liu Jingtang.
"Mr. Lu is committed to building a civilized mining area and a humane mining area! Implement a safe underground system! Distribute sufficient safety labor protection supplies!"
The miners were all confused and had no idea what Accountant Liu was talking about.
Lu Ming, who was standing on a higher wooden pile, was also helpless, but it seemed that although the miners did not understand, they still followed this trick. Civilized people like Mr. Liu spoke incomprehensibly. They were too stupid to understand, but everyone
Everyone will respect Mr. Liu.
Liu Jingtang's speech finally came to an end, "Come, we welcome Mr. Lu to give us a speech! Everyone applauds!"
The miners immediately applauded enthusiastically. The new big boss at least seemed to be more affable than Brigadier Hu. He didn't ask whose wife was pretty when he first came to the mine.
"Manager Liu has said everything I want to say, so I will just say a few words!" Lu Ming raised his voice slightly, "There will be a change after I come. Everyone's income will definitely be higher than before. Every month,
If you are over fourteen years old and work, you will get a bonus of two yuan, and if you are under fourteen years old, you will get a bonus of one yuan."
Lu Ming does not want to use child labor, but the current situation is that if you do not use child labor, it will interrupt the livelihood of many people, some families will be unable to make ends meet and go bankrupt, and younger children will even starve to death.
All we can do is take everything slowly.
"What is a bonus? As long as you do the same as before, don't leave early or be late, and complete the normal workload, you can get a bonus of two yuan. In addition, there is a floating bonus to reward workers who perform well every month.
, ranging from 1 to 3 yuan.”
Seeing the confusion on the faces of most of the miners, Lu Ming said with a smile: "To put it simply, if everyone works hard as before, their salary will be increased by 2 yuan per month for those over 14 years old, and 1 yuan for those under 14 years old!"
"Okay!" "Okay!" The miners immediately clapped excitedly, "Mr. Lu is a good man!" "Mr. Lu is a kind man!"
"Mr. Lu, have mercy!" The person who took the lead in shouting this was probably the foreman who had a little ink and half a bottle of water.
Liu Jingtang's slightly hoarse voice shouted again: "Okay, the section chiefs will stay, and everyone else can disperse, and don't leave the mining area. Tomorrow Mr. Lu will officially open the mine. He will invite many dignitaries from the county, and will also release
Everyone is here for the firecrackers, the more lively the better. Tonight, there is a wedding dish at the mine, pork stewed with vermicelli! White steamed buns! Enough!"
"Okay!" "Okay!" bursts of cheers broke out immediately, and the eyes of all miners were green.
If you talk about salary increases or something, many big bosses will write bad checks, and it may not always happen in the end. But if you open a mining meal, pork stewed vermicelli and big steamed buns, if you have enough, this will not be fake. The bosses are all looking for good luck.
Will not cheat on mining vegetables.
Lu Ming smiled bitterly when he saw this scene. It might be a salary increase or something, but it would be better to give them a pound of pork every month to make them feel more at ease and happy. Although 2 yuan can buy more than 10 pounds of pork in Longgang.
.
…
In the wooden house, Lu Ming and Liu Jingtang drank tea and chatted casually.
"Mr. Lu, do you really have to pay all the medical expenses for those illegal workers?" Liu Jingtang looked at Lu Ming in surprise and admiration.
"Advance payment!" Lu Ming smiled: "If the county doesn't issue a wanted order, it will also search all of Hu Ergou's property? When the time comes, just reimburse me from the property that has been searched."
Liu Jingtang nodded, thinking that there are people outside the world.
A bully like Brigadier Hu never expected that within a day of meeting Mr. Lu, he would become a wanted criminal.
In the morning, he also instigated his miners to besiege Mr. Lu. By the afternoon, the county office had issued a wanted order and documents to seize his property.
Right now, Si Li is leading people to seize his residence.
"Mr. Lu, will you leave tomorrow after presiding over the mining ceremony?" Liu Jingtang hesitated.
Lu Ming smiled and said: "Yes, I can't do anything about my business in the East China Sea without me. Come back in a while, and it will be all thanks to you, Uncle Liu. With you here, I can rest assured. In addition, ten muskets will be delivered tomorrow."
, Blackhead will stay, train us miners and their families to use guns, select loyal and reliable ones, and maintain a mine protection team of ten people at ordinary times, so there should be no trouble. "
Liu Jingtang was worried about the safety of the mine. He smiled and said, "Mr. Lu has thought of everything. The old man has nothing to worry about except helping Mr. Lu with his heart."
Lu Ming glanced at Liu Jingtang and smiled: "Uncle Liu, I heard that when the Jingyang Mine was first discovered more than 20 years ago, you helped the first mine owner run it? You should also treat the current Jingyang Mine
Do you understand it very well?"
Jingyang Mine is the largest coal mine outside Longgang's four major coal mines. The coal seam is extremely shallow, but it was discovered the latest. Mining began more than 20 years ago, and now it uses open-pit mining.
Jingyang Town is also a town established in Longgang County ten years ago. It is located in the easternmost part of Longgang, and further east is the Heishan Mountains.
After several decades, bandits broke out again in the Montenegro Mountains.
It seems that the Jingyang Mine today pays monthly tribute money to bandits for safety reasons.
When Liu Jingtang heard Lu Ming talk about the Jingyang Mine, he sighed deeply, "My old employer was pretty good, and we were very harmonious back then. But later on when a new major shareholder came in, the accounting office had to let his people go. That person and I
We had to argue every day, and I knew clearly that they were trying to get rid of me, but at that time I just couldn't calm down, so I resigned angrily, and speaking of it, I felt sorry for my employer."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! His eyes flickered, as if he was recalling many past events, and he sighed: "I still communicate with him occasionally. When the province changed its governor five years ago,
The major shareholder who forcibly bought the shares withdrew his shares, and my boss almost went bankrupt, so I redeemed the major shareholder's shares. If I don't redeem them, that's not enough. You say, well..." Liu Jingtang shook his head.
After a pause, he continued: "Now my old friend has not recovered yet. In the past two years, he has to give half of his income to bandits. My old friend is not in good health. Last time he corresponded, it seemed that
It means that most of the affairs of the coal mine have been left to the younger daughter-in-law, who is very capable and maintains all aspects and can barely survive."
"His daughter-in-law's name is He Mojun. She has a very bookish name. She went to school at first glance, so I remembered it. I hope that there will be a successor to my old friend's family!"
Lu Ming nodded, and was slightly startled. He Mojun? The same name as his ex-sister-in-law. Four years ago, after his eldest brother fell into the lake drunk, his eldest sister-in-law remarried, but she probably married to Linxian County.
Nowadays, when new women in the north are given names like Aijun, the name Mojun is also very common.
Liu Jingtang hesitated for a moment, then said after careful consideration: "Mr. Lu, will you stay in the county next time you come? Just listen to the old man's lies. I think you should have a place to stay in this town. Are you?
Boss, you should come back often to see me."
Lu Ming smiled and said: "Uncle Liu is right. I originally wanted to buy a house in this town. Now is the time. Isn't Hu Ergou's house sealed? After a while, I saw Sili and told him that the house will be sold.
Just give it to me, according to the market price, so that when he pays the property seized by fugitives to the county treasury, he can still be commended and do things cleanly."
Liu Jingtang was stunned. This was a good idea, so he said, "Mr. Lu, you don't have any taboos..." Liu Jingtang praised.
Lu Ming smiled: "There is nothing taboo about a little gangster's crime and punishment!"
"Oh, Cao Cao will be here soon!" Lu Ming raised his head and smiled.
Outside the wooden house, Liu Sili was striding over. Judging from his walking posture, he had become more confident than in the morning.
…
Brigadier Hu's house is extremely prominent among the earthen huts and huts in the town. It is a large courtyard surrounded by high blue brick walls. The black wooden door on the stone steps has a huge door knocker. Under the steps, on both sides, are two ferocious stone lions.
.
There are two wing rooms in the east and west, and six main rooms. Entering into the main room, there is a main room in the east and west. Going inside the main room, there are three more inner rooms.
Today, the high-hanging tile lamps in the courtyard are bright, and many women and children are cleaning every room and flushing it with clean water.
Lu Ming was wandering around inside, followed by a buck-toothed woman, Zhang Agou's mother-in-law, also named Zhang.
Blackhead will live here temporarily, and Mrs. Zhang will cook and clean the room for her. The salary is 6 yuan a month, which is the same salary as an adult worker in the past.
She found all the women and children who came to clean up the house. She cleaned up the house in one night. She found a dozen women and children and paid 1 yuan each. Where could she find such a lucrative job? So everyone did it.
They were so excited that when they saw Lu Ming, they all stood aside and bowed their heads in silence.
However, in the woodshed in the west wing, women's curses could be heard from time to time, but no one paid attention to them, but they seemed to be a little afraid of the people inside and stayed away.
It was Hu Ergou's mistress, Mrs. Wang, who was the head of a clandestine brothel in Longgang. But she was getting older and older, and Hu Ergou was getting rich, so he brought her to Sansha Town.
Now that he has been arrested, there is no place to lock him up in the town hall, so he is temporarily locked in the woodshed here.
Once Liu Sili's seized property is sorted out, they will be escorted to the county together.
Lu Ming ignored her, and Lei Bao and Hei Feng stayed nearby. If Hu Ergou came to rescue his mistress, he would be captured.
"Sir, let me tell you, such a bitch should be stripped naked and paraded through the streets!" Sister-in-law Zhang said through gritted teeth, "Later, we will clean up Wei Chunli's little prodigal hoof!"
Lu Ming was startled, but didn't say anything.
…
The mining ceremony on the second day was grand and grand, and almost everyone from the county office came.
It was reported that after receiving the Sansha Coal Mine, Mr. Lu Xiao, a relative of Director Gong, returned to the East China Sea. Naturally, many people were relieved and happy.
Mr. Lu also left Sansha Town in the afternoon. What puzzled the people in the town was that Miss Hei, the attendant left behind by Mr. Lu, was originally said to be Mrs. Zhang as his servant, but in the end, it was replaced by the dead Wei San.
And just last night, the young lady of Wei San had her hair cut off and tied to a tree by a group of people. She had dog feces thrown at her and pissed on her. Just when people were clamoring to take off her clothes.
, Miss Hei came and rescued him, and then Mrs. Wei became Miss Hei's maid.
…
The private room of Friendship Hotel in Longgang County.
The middle-aged man in a long gown sitting opposite Lu Ming is called Li Yulong, who is also Li Youmei's distant cousin.
Working as a foreman in Jordan Coal Mine is considered a good job in Longgang County.
Lu Ming sipped the tea and sighed softly in his heart. When the people are not enlightened, the upper ruling class often changes the soup without changing the medicine. In fact, sometimes, it is a last resort.
Sister-in-law Zhang, for example, has no sense of propriety at all and has been suppressed for too long. She really became a black-headed maid. In Sansha Town, even if she immediately became arrogant, her ferocious and domineering energy would be even worse than that of Brigadier Hu's gang in the past.
The original group of wives were more or less educated and had seen the world, but Mrs. Zhang only acted according to her instinctive likes and dislikes.
Let’s talk about Wei Chunli. She had attended a school in the county for a few years and was occupied by Wei San. She was originally a pitiful and docile person, but as soon as Wei San died, she became the target of arbitrary bullying, as if she was afraid of Wei San.
, now it will all come back and be vented on her.
However, the Wang family, who is always domineering and domineering, still retains her power, and many people are still afraid of her.
Although most of the time, bullies and even relatives of some criminals are never completely innocent, at least they have received great benefits, and some combinations of ancient punishments are not unreasonable.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! However, specific cases still need to be analyzed in detail, not to mention that relatives and criminals are equally guilty.
In Sansha Town, I have already made plans to build a primary school for the children of miners, but many changes do not happen overnight.
Thinking about it, Lu Ming shook his head.
Li Yulong was talking about the situation in Jordan Coal Mine.
The cousin's letter said that Mr. Lu was a high-ranking figure in the East China Sea.
After all, I knew that when Mr. Lu saw me, he might have become interested in the Jordan Coal Mine.
The current situation at the Jordan Coal Mine is really not very good. Within three or two days, the Montenegro Mining Bureau came down and notified it to suspend operations for rectification.
It seems that after Commander Hu from the provincial capital occupied the Nanping Mine, one of the four major coal mines, he set his sights on the Jordan Coal Mine.
The boss is also stubborn, but does not agree to his investment.
Li Yulong sighed in his heart and did not hide anything. He told Mr. Lu everything in detail.
Lu Ming listened silently.
There were footsteps outside the private room, and Uncle Sun said softly: "Young Master, this is the messenger sent by Director Gong."
Lu Ming responded, and Uncle Sun came in with a letter.
After taking it apart, it was indeed Master Gong's handwriting, saying that Hu Dewang, the secretary-general of the Montenegro City Government, called him and asked him to withdraw the arrest warrant against Hu Ergou and re-investigate Hu Ergou's case.
Master Gong said that he had quickly written a formal reply and rejected the other party's request.
Lu Ming looked at the letter and nodded. It seems that Brigadier Hu can still have some relationship with the Hu family. Moreover, if he is soft-eared, he will definitely feel that Brigadier Hu is using a tiger skin as a banner outside, but that is not the case.
Under the banner of the Hu family, their home is being searched and wanted, and the Hu family doesn't look good.
He raised his head and glanced at Li Yulong, "Yulong, thank you for today. Come on, let's have a drink. I'll have to trouble you later." Lu Ming smiled and raised his glass.
Li Yulong hurriedly held the cup with both hands, stood up and drank it all in one gulp, "If Mr. Lu has anything to do in the future, just ask me to do it."
