Chapter 1679, cut off the people's financial road?
"Master Yushi, if you want to take part, that's up to you."
"Our magistrate is the current Crown Prince. He said that he wants to improve the order, transportation and sanitation of the capital. We have no choice but to obey his orders."
Chen Jun is too lazy to pay attention to this Weng Hong, so what about the censor, our prefect is His Highness the Crown Prince, you go and take part.
"His Royal Highness, how could His Highness do such a thing? As the prince and the crown prince of the country, he should work for the benefit of the people and make decisions for the people. How could he do something that would ruin people's wealth?"
"I should read this book carefully."
When Weng Hong heard this, he immediately became even more angry.
The prince had always stayed away from civil servants like them. Yang Ting and the teacher were so angry that he went home to retire. After that, the emperor never found another great scholar to teach the prince.
It's good now. After the prince became the prefect, he actually did such a thing. There is no trace of the prince's demeanor in this.
As a prince, he should be high up in the temple, rule from the top, be close to virtuous ministers and stay away from villains, and have more contact with them, civil servants and upright people. Only in this way can he be a wise king.
But now, they are trying to learn how to manage a small state capital, and they are setting up an urban management bureau here specifically to embarrass and antagonize ordinary people. How can it be like this?
"As you wish~"
"move!"
Chen Jun didn't care about this. He was a retired soldier, so he was naturally hostile to these civil servants. To this day, these civil servants still call them Qiu Ba.
As soon as the others heard this, they immediately started to move tables, stools, briquette stoves, stoves, pots and pans to the car.
"Oh my God!"
"The officials are forcing the people to rebel."
"Official officials bully the common people."
Liu Yishou and others immediately became distressed, shouting and shouting while snatching, and a large number of melon-eating people gathered around them.
But no matter how they shouted, Chen Jun and others remained unmoved and moved all these things cleanly. Later, Liu Yishou and others continued to fight with Chen Jun and others, and even wanted to fight.
stand up.
"I'm warning you, we are doing something under orders. If you continue to make trouble, you will be put in jail, but don't blame us."
Chen Jun looked at Liu Yishou and others and gave a stern warning.
After being yelled at by Chen Jun, Liu Yishou, Wang and others immediately did not dare to mess around anymore. The prestige of the ancient government was still very high, especially when they heard that they would be arrested and imprisoned, they were scared to death.
I could only watch helplessly as Chen Jun and others moved everything, including the vegetables of the old men and women who came here to sell vegetables.
"It's so ordinary. Only then did I realize that the street was actually quite wide."
"Isn't that right? In the past, four-wheeled carriages would pass here, but now it's difficult to walk."
"Now there are no more stalls, which is good. At least it's easier to walk and there won't be any more congestion."
"The officials are not allowed to live anymore, and they are not allowed to set up stalls. How will Liu Yishou and the others survive in the future?"
"Don't worry about him. He can earn 200 taels of silver a year by setting up a stall. How much can you earn a year?"
"What's more, you're not allowed to occupy the street and set up stalls. I didn't say you weren't allowed to open a shop. You can rent a store to open a shop. They occupy the street not just to keep the rent."
"They have saved money on rent, but it has become much more congested when we walk there. And look, look at how dirty the streets have become now, greasy, black and dirty, and there are also people who come to the city.
The old men who sell vegetables here slap their butts and leave after selling the vegetables, leaving behind dirt and rotten leaves on the ground without even sweeping up."
"I have long felt that it is indeed time to take care of it."
"Yes, some places really need to be supervised. The stalls take up half of the street, which is really affecting everyone's appearance. I even bought a bicycle and couldn't ride there."
"Look at how well planned and managed the new town in the southern district is. No one is occupying the road to do business or anything like that in the new town in the southern district. They still have to live a prosperous life and do a lot of things.
Beautiful and so clean.”
"That's right, I haven't seen anyone doing business on the road here in Xincheng, South District. They all rent shops and do business in the shops. There are also many strict requirements, so they are very clean. And it is said that these
If you are a foodie, you have to go to the hospital for regular check-ups to make sure you don’t have any infectious diseases and you need to practice hygiene and so on.”
"That's good. You haven't noticed that there are some businesses that are extremely dirty. They don't even wash their hands. They just keep making noodles as soon as they scratch their noses. If you see it, you won't be able to eat it at all."
"Things with infectious diseases are even more terrifying. If one person spreads it to ten people, or if ten people spread it to hundreds of people, that would be terrible."
""
Many people watching and talking around were talking about it. When the streets were sorted out, the originally congested streets suddenly became much smoother.
As for Liu Yishou and others, all of them were crying without tears. The people who ate there had been moved away, and they were no longer allowed to occupy the road for business. How would they live in the future?
On the other side, in the court hall.
"Your Majesty, I want to impeach the magistrate of Shuntian Prefecture!"
Weng Hongna was the first to stand up, his face full of indignation.
"Prefect of Shuntian Prefecture?"
As soon as everyone heard this, they all looked at Weng Hong. Are you a fool? The magistrate of Shuntian Prefecture is the current prince. He has only been in office for a few days, and you want to impeach him?
I'm afraid your brain is burned out.
This prince has only been the prefect for a few days and yet he offended you?
So much so that you are about to stand up and impeach him.
"oh?"
Emperor Hongzhi looked at Weng Hong and motioned for him to continue speaking.
"Your Majesty, when I came to attend the morning court this morning, I saw that the officials of the so-called urban management bureau established here in Shuntian Prefecture actually ignored the life and death of the people, cut off people's livelihood, and forcibly confiscated the tools of the people doing small business, so that the people were filled with resentment.
, the people are extremely unjust."
Weng Hong was also very angry and told what he saw that morning.
"People's livelihood is cut off and public resentment boils?"
When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he immediately frowned.
He knew about the Prince's establishment of the Urban Management Bureau.
The prince also made it clear in detail in his memorial, saying that he had established a series of rules and regulations for the sake of traffic order, hygiene and image of the capital.
Unexpectedly, it was involved in something that cut off people's livelihood and aroused public resentment.
"Your Majesty, I have a few questions that I would like to ask Mr. Weng."
Liu Jin thought for a while and then stood up and said.
"Hmm~"
Emperor Hongzhi nodded slightly and motioned Liu Jin to ask.
"Sir Weng, before we cut off a person's way of making a living, we must first distinguish whether this way of making a living is legal and compliant, right?"
Liu Jin looked at Weng Hong, thought for a while and asked.
"Of course. Illegal crimes must be severely punished."
When Weng Hong heard this, he immediately nodded solemnly and said.
"What you just said is probably that the urban management is cleaning up the small vendors operating on the road, right?"
Liu Jin asked again.
"Yes, they are the hawkers who set up stalls on the streets. They are the lowest level of the people in our country. They have always been honest about their duties and have not committed any crimes. The places they set up stalls are also convenient for the surrounding neighbors.
The lives of neighbors."
Weng Hong nodded again and replied.
"These vendors have not done anything illegal or criminal, and the stalls they operate also bring some convenience to everyone."
"But is this street a place for business and stalls?"
"If everyone is setting up stalls and doing business on the street, can this road still be passable?"
"The street is a place for people to walk and pass by, not a place for people to set up stalls or pile up debris."
"Nowadays, in many streets in the capital, there are many small stalls and hawkers operating indiscriminately occupying the roads. This has seriously affected the traffic order in the capital. At the same time, these stalls and hawkers are extremely careless about hygiene, which often makes the streets become dirty.
It’s dirty and smelly.”
"The prefect of Shuntian Prefecture established the Urban Management Bureau with the purpose of rectifying these small vendors who occupy the roads indiscriminately and maintain order and hygiene in the capital."
"Not to mention cutting off people's financial opportunities and stirring up public dissatisfaction as Mr. Weng said. If this trend continues to be encouraged, will this small stall hawker be able to set up in front of the palace in the future?"
Liu Jin looked at Weng Hong. This Weng Hong is a typical person who doesn't know how to do anything, but he is definitely the number one troublemaker. These censors and officials are basically like troublemakers.
exist.
"What Liu Gong said makes sense."
"The same is true where I live. Small vendors occupy more than half of the road to set up stalls. Although it is convenient for everyone to have breakfast and so on, it is really inconvenient to travel. Even bicycles are not allowed to pass."
"In addition, I also feel that these vendors really don't pay attention to hygiene and make the streets dirty and smelly. Sometimes the garbage is not cleaned up. In the summer, it emits an extremely unpleasant and pungent smell."
"I also thought it was time to take control. There are more and more people in the capital, but the roads are getting narrower and narrower, making travel extremely inconvenient. In addition, the Jiangnan epidemic also reminds us that we should always pay attention to infectious diseases.
Many stall vendors themselves are coughing constantly and have runny noses, etc., but they are still operating normally."
"It would be fine if there were no infectious diseases. But if there was an infectious disease like schistosomiasis, it would infect many people at once."
"I also think it should be taken care of. No one is occupying the road for business in Xincheng, South District. I also heard that people doing small business here are starving to death. Everyone rents shops for business. It is the same, and it can be better.
Carry out regular management and inspections.”
"There are many people but little land in the old city, and the streets are narrow. If stalls are set up randomly, it will be even more inconvenient to travel."
As soon as Liu Jin finished speaking, many ministers stood up to express their support.
