Jinling City, with the intervention of the army, government officials, policemen, officials, etc., and Wang Shouren personally went to each factory to promise to the workers that everyone would get their wages and go home happily to celebrate the New Year.
The entire Jinling City quickly settled down, and many of the workers who caused trouble were waiting patiently in the factories where they used to work. Wang Shouren sent people to bring food, warm clothes, fuel, etc.
As for the lawless elements on the street who took advantage of the chaos to do bad things, officials, government officials, policemen, etc. also acted quickly and arrested all those who took advantage of the chaos.
Wang Shouren then ordered people to post notices everywhere to appease people, and the whole Jinling City, which was still in chaos, quickly regained stability.
Some bold vendors even started to open their stores normally, and everything gradually began to become more orderly.
On the bank of the Qinhuai River, on the luxurious flower boat, Zeng Qing, Zhang Yuanting, Jiang Cheng and others were still drunkenly drinking flower wine, looking extremely chic.
For these big families, big businessmen, and big gentry in the Jiangnan area, this is just one of their daily lives. In the past, salt merchants, cloth merchants, tea merchants, grain merchants, etc. spent a lot of money on the Qinhuai River. Now they
Those who open factories can make money faster than before. When it comes to being generous, it is even worse.
I spent several days and nights intoxicated on this flower boat. The whole boat exuded an aura of decadence, the rings were fat and thin, and beauties from home and abroad in the Ming Dynasty were carefully serving these benefactors.
"Come, come, drink, drink~"
Zhang Yuanting seemed drunk but not drunk, holding the beauty in his arms, drinking one glass after another. After drinking, he would drink on the beauty's body, enjoying it to the fullest in this cold winter.
"Brother Zhang, we have been playing for a few days, is it time to go back?"
Zeng Qing looked outside. The mountains and rivers were hazy with smoke, and he couldn't tell the difference between morning and night. He thought that the Chinese New Year was coming soon and he should go back.
"Brother Zeng, what are you afraid of?"
"Are you afraid that Brother Zhang can't afford the money, or are you afraid of the tigress in the house?"
Jiang Cheng on the side couldn't help but laugh.
"He must be afraid of the tigress at home. This little money for drinking flower wine is nothing. When Wang Shouren is driven away, the tax money saved will be enough for Brother Zhang to buy a hundred of these things.
It’s a flower boat.”
"That's right, that's right, when Wang Shouren leaves, I will be the host. Please continue to come to this flower boat and enjoy yourself for seven days and seven nights."
"Haha, you must inform us in advance, we will definitely come."
"Haha, that's necessary. Let me tell you, this beauty is better than this beauty from Europe. That's even better~"
"Haha, Brother Li is the best."
While everyone was drinking and having fun, they would occasionally tease the beauties around them, causing a lot of laughter.
"Come here, how is the situation here in Nanjing?"
Zhang Yuanting looked at the scene in front of him and immediately laughed.
After thinking about it, he shouted. Soon, a servant hurriedly walked in and said, "Master, the messenger hasn't come yet."
However, before the words were finished, a small boat hurriedly rowed over. As soon as the boat docked on the flower boat, someone came in in a hurry and said, "Master, Master, something serious has happened."
"As soon as Wang Shouren returned to Nanjing, he immediately sent officials, government officials, policemen, etc. to the streets to maintain order and arrest those who took advantage of the chaos. At the same time, he also requested the Nanjing garrison to enter the city to maintain order."
"Originally, everyone thought he was going to wipe out the rebels, but who knew that he actually went to each factory in person and used his black gauze hat to promise the workers that they would get their wages in small sums and go home happily.
New Year."
"In addition, we also sent food, clothing and other things to people in various factories, so that the originally chaotic Nanjing city quickly settled down."
"What?"
When everyone heard this, no one was in the mood to drink flower wine.
They originally expected that even if it could calm down, there would inevitably be a lot of bloodshed, even hundreds of thousands of workers, and riots might break out. Even if Wang Shouren had a hundred heads, he wouldn't be able to chop it off.
Who would have thought that Wang Shouren could resolve everything so easily and quickly settle down hundreds of thousands of workers.
In this case, even if Wang Shouren will be punished by the above, it will not be a big deal. After all, Wang Shouren has a very wide network of contacts in the court.
"This Wang Shouren is really amazing."
Zhang Yuanting pushed the beauty in his arms away and couldn't help but walk around.
"Hmph~"
"You can get a decent amount of wages and go home for the New Year. We won't give you any money. I want to see what Wang Shouren will use to pay these workers."
"As long as these hundreds of thousands of workers don't get their wages, there will definitely be chaos, and he will die as well."
Soon, Zhang Yuanting thought of the key points and sneered.
"Yes, as long as we don't take out the money, I would like to see what this Wang Shouren will do with the wages of hundreds of thousands of people. By then, let alone a black hat, he won't even be able to save his head."
Jiang Cheng also followed suit.
"I heard that the Wang family has several large factories in Beijing, Tianjin, Songhu, and Zhejiang. The Caiyun Textile Factory is the largest textile factory in the Ming Dynasty. Maybe he can pay for it himself."
Zeng Qing thought for a while and said.
"That's impossible. No matter how rich you are, you can't come up with so much money at once. What's more, this is Nanjing. Even if the Wang family has money, it will take time to transport it."
Someone thought for a while and said.spanstyle>谷/spanstyle>
"So, this Wang Shouren still can't break our game?"
"Haha, what did he use to break it?"
"Come here, please contact Mr. Zhang, Mr. Liu and the others. If there is any trouble on Wang Shouren's side, come over and report it to us immediately."
"In addition, I will contact the Ministers and Ministers of the Six Ministries in Nanjing and ask them to continue to submit memorials to them. I heard that the imperial court has sent the imperial ministers south and mobilized a large army to Nanjing to suppress the rebellion. We must give them
Find something to do, otherwise wouldn’t this army be in vain?”
Zhang Yuanting smiled and ordered to go down.
"Come on, come on, keep drinking, keep drinking~"
"Fine wine, delicious food and beauties, let's all enjoy it."
"Haha~"
Everyone soon continued to drink happily.
But before they could be happy for a long time, small warships were seen on the Qinhuai River quickly surrounding the flower ship. Then the soldiers on the ship ignored the warning of the flower ship's madam and boarded the ship directly, which suddenly caused a stir.
There was a scream.
Wang Shouren, wearing a crimson robe and holding a sword, took the lead and jumped onto the flower boat.
"Surround them all, don't let anyone go."
After saying that, he rushed in with his men, and soon came to where Zhang Yuanting, Zeng Qing, Jiang Cheng and others were.
"It's true that the Zhu family's wine and meat are so stinky that their bones are frozen to death~"
"The workers in the factory are not paid, but they drink wine here."
Wang Shouren looked at the scene in front of him. There was the smell of rouge and gouache everywhere, mixed with the smell of wine and meat, and it was all white flowers. A large number of women were wearing very few clothes, but it was as warm as midsummer inside.
In this cold winter, I can't feel the slightest bit of cold on the Qinhuai River.
"Who are you? Do you know who we are?"
Zhang Yuanting looked very panicked at this time. He looked at the officers and soldiers who rushed in, then looked at the frightened beauty whose beauty turned pale, and he quickly scolded her.
"Are you Zhang Yuanting?"
Wang Shouren looked at Zhang Yuanting and asked.
"It's me, are you Mr. Wang?"
Zhang Yuanting looked at Wang Shouren carefully, and immediately recognized Wang Shouren, and was frightened to death.
He was planning to deal with Wang Shouren just now, but he didn't expect that the deal would suddenly appear in front of him.
"It's good to know me~"
"Catch them all and take them immediately to search their homes."
Wang Shouren looked at the opponent, smiled slightly, and then gave the order coldly.
"Master Wang, Master Wang~"
"We are all sons of a scholarly family, how could you arrest us for no reason like this, and even have our house ransacked? Is there any royal law?"
When Zhang Yuanting and others heard this, they immediately roared angrily.
"Do you still know the king's law?"
"I will let you die clearly and take you away~"
Wang Shouren sneered and waved his hand. The officers and soldiers didn't care whether they were wearing clothes or not. They just grabbed them all like chickens and took them outside.
"Wang Shouren, Wang Shouren~"
"You can't be so lawless. My father is the Minister of Civil Affairs in Nanjing. I will definitely let my father participate in your book."
"I am a civil servant, and I can meet officials without kneeling. How could you let these Qiu Ba arrest me?"
Everyone was dragged outside, struggling and shouting one after another. However, Wang Shouren was too lazy to pay attention. When they got outside, a cold river breeze blew.
Zhang Yuanting, Zeng Qing, Jiang Cheng and the others were not wearing any clothes, and all of them were suddenly shivering from the cold and shivering.
"Let's go~"
"Reach the house~"
Wang Shouren boarded the boat and returned to the shore. He immediately rode without stopping and led groups of officers and soldiers toward the residences of Zhang Yuanting, Zeng Qing, and Jiang Cheng.
To come up with enough money to pay the workers, Wang Shouren himself would definitely not be able to advance the money. What's more, it was not Wang Shouren's turn to advance the money.
It was the factory owners who were supposed to pay the money, and they had plenty of money, so Wang Shouren was very direct. He led people to search their homes and took out all the money of these guys. In order to collect enough money to pay the workers, he first transferred the money of hundreds of thousands of workers.
Once wages are paid, everyone can go home happily to celebrate the New Year.
As long as these hundreds of thousands of workers get their wages and go home for the New Year, the rest will be much simpler.
