When Zhang Mao heard this, he couldn't help being slightly stunned.
"You seem to like building all kinds of schools, starting from Tianjin Maritime Academy, Shipbuilding Academy, Royal Military Academy, Medical School, New School, Mechanical School, Engineering School, all kinds of schools, big and small, etc.
You have built countless colleges like this."
"Now that we are building a police school again, I really don't understand you."
Zhang Mao looked at Liu Jin in front of him. To be honest, he really didn't understand Liu Jin. What did Liu Jin pursue?
"Mr. Zhang, I wonder if you have heard of this sentence?"
"Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a destiny for the living people, carry on the unique teachings of the past saints, and create peace for all generations!"
"I hope that thousands of years from now, everyone will remember Liu Jin as an educator, rather than Liu Jin, the Duke of Liao in the Ming Dynasty."
Liu Jin smiled and replied.
"That's it~"
Hearing Liu Jin's words, Zhang Mao couldn't help but nod his head, and then sighed: "As expected of a disciple of a master, it is far beyond what ordinary people like me can understand."
"Haha, Mr. Zhang is overly praised."
"I just think that there is a lot of land in Beijing, Tianjin and Songhu. If we don't build some schools, it won't be until the year of the monkey that the land can be used."
Liu Jin said with a happy smile.
"...Are you deliberately angry with me? When it comes to those lands, I feel regretful. I sold you an acre of land for a few taels of silver, but now the land around the capital costs hundreds of taels of silver an acre. Why don't you
If you say it's okay, sell some land and give it back to me as soon as you say so."
When Zhang Mao heard this, he was speechless.
Speaking of land, he really regretted that in order to raise money to go overseas for business, he sold almost all the land in the British government to Liu Jin.
At first, the land cost a few taels of silver per acre, but now the land around the capital has increased to several hundred taels of silver per acre, a difference of hundreds of times, and the land in the capital continues to appreciate in value.
"Old Zhang, you are acting like a hooligan. When you sold the land, you don't know how much money you made now. You still have the nerve to tell me about this little land. The land in South Africa and the big islands of East Africa
As many as you want."
When Liu Jin heard this, he immediately curled his lips and said.
"Sell some at the market price to my head office. You are a well-fed man and don't know how hungry a man is. You hold a lot of land in your hands. You and His Highness the Prince have bought up all the land in Beijing, Tianjin and Songhu."
"You can engage in real estate and sell houses slowly and in a planned way, but we don't have land, and now we almost have no land to build houses."
Zhang Mao shook his head helplessly. When discussing business with Liu Jin, he had better stop trying to take advantage of him, otherwise he would die without knowing how he would die. Just like when he thought he had taken advantage by selling the land to Liu Jin,
As a result, my intestines are now full of regret.
"Old Zhang, let me tell you, you are just too eager for quick success and quick success. You have built so much land in a short period of time. No matter how much land you have, it is not enough for you to do this."
"This house is more than just a house. If you want to sell it at a good price, you can't just rely on cement and steel bars. You also need supporting facilities."
"You built schools, factories, streets, vegetable markets, etc. in a hurry. Many supporting facilities are not available and are in a mess. Look at the real estate under my command. All the supporting facilities are in place. The houses are for sale.
It's more expensive than yours, and it sells faster than yours, and the store's annual income is enough to live on."
When it came to selling land, Liu Jin couldn't help but shake his head.
The real estate industry has become more and more popular in recent years. There are too many people coming into the Beijing-Tianjin area. The two places together have a huge population of tens of millions, and there are too many houses in need.
This has also led to the rapid development of the real estate industry in the capital. No matter how many houses there are, they are not enough to sell. House prices and land prices have also risen, which has also allowed Liu Jin to make a lot of money.
"I can stand and talk without pain in my back. If I were like you, holding a large piece of land in my hand, I could also plan it neatly."
Zhang Mao curled his lips, then thought for a while and said: "I will bring up the matter of the police school to His Majesty. It is indeed necessary to build a professional police school."
"Especially in big cities, there are more and more crimes. However, the police officers and police officers in the government offices are not professional enough, their skills are limited, and their manpower is limited. The crime detection rate is often very low. This is also an important reason for the rampant gangs.
Because they have no scruples.”
"Besides these, you see, these are the problems reflected below."
"Gangs, road bullies, road bandits, pirates, etc. are all easy to deal with. Once the army arrives, they can almost all be wiped out. However, among the local evil forces, many of them have backers."
Zhang Mao handed a piece of information to Liu Jin and said.
Zhang Mao and Xiao Jing are responsible for the campaign against gangs and evil. The factory security force led by Xiao Jing is mainly responsible for intelligence work. To truly understand the evil forces in various places, there are still five people responsible for Zhang Mao.
The military governor's office will execute it.
Nowadays, various places are carrying out rapid anti-gang and anti-evil work, and the progress in various places is constantly gathering. At the same time, there are also problems encountered by various places.
One of the big problems is that in many places, the evil forces, hooligans and the like have backers behind them.
"What's so strange about this? How can a person without a backer be so arrogant and domineering?"
Liu Jin smiled, took the information, and read it carefully.
There is no need to say anything about this. This phenomenon has become very common in later generations. The so-called tiger swatting the fly at the same time refers to the tiger behind the fly.
Opening the information, Liu Jin read it very casually.
So-and-so from a certain place is domineering, bullying the market, and bullying men and women in the fish and meat village. When the factory guards checked, it turned out that he was the younger brother of the local prefect's concubine.
There are also stories about people with a certain surname occupying a place, robbing women of the people in broad daylight, etc. After careful investigation, it turns out that some of the tribesmen are officials in the court.
There are also bullies in a certain place who, with the support of people behind them, monopolize all transactions in one place. On the one hand, they buy the people's goods at low prices, while on the other hand, they forcefully require foreign businessmen to buy them at high prices.
There are too many things like this. The entire Ming Dynasty is far from being as peaceful and prosperous as imagined. There are similar situations in almost every place.
The better part is that some local gangsters bully men and women and bully the common people. In some remote areas, the local gangsters have even become lawless. The common people dare to be angry and dare not speak out, but there is no way.
"Changli County Bully Tang Laohu..."
Looking at it, Liu Jin looked at the situation in some state capitals in Beizhili. He naturally cared about his hometown, and immediately saw Tang Laohu.
"Tang Tiger~"
Seeing this name, Liu Jin couldn't help but feel a slight pain in his head, and then he remembered that the original owner of his body before he time-traveled was actually killed by Tang Hu, and as a result, his soul traveled through and occupied the magpie's nest.
.
Thinking of this, Liu Jin looked carefully again.
Tang Laohu was a well-known bully in Changli County. He was able to run rampant in the countryside because he had a younger brother who was a fifth-rank official. When Liu Jin was still a scholar, he ordered someone to murder Liu Jin just to establish his authority.
"Tang Yun, the magistrate of Yanqing Prefecture!"
"It's quite close."
"I have always forgotten about this matter, mainly because I am a time traveler, so I don't have much hatred for Tang Huhu, but since I have inherited all this, I naturally have to vent my anger on your behalf.
"
Liu Jin pondered for a moment and pondered carefully in his mind.
I had almost forgotten about Tang Laohu, but now I recall it. In this case, I still want to take revenge.
"Mr. Zhang, how do you think this should be done?"
Liu Jin thought for a while and asked.
"Aren't I here to ask you? In your words, the gangsters are easy to eliminate. The key is the backers behind them. They are all local officials. They have not committed any crimes themselves. Even if they have committed crimes, they will not be punished.
It's under my control, and it's under your control, as the Minister of Civil Affairs."
Zhang Mao smiled and replied.
In the eradication of crime, the big evil forces such as bandits, road bullies, gangs, pirates, and mountain kings slowly swept away the smaller evil forces such as local ruffians and bullies.
Compared with the big evil forces, these small evil forces are more troublesome, because there are too many of them, and they all have backers, so it is easy to offend other civil and military ministers, and Lao Zhang has always
They are all well-rounded people and don't like to offend others.
"I don't know how to do it. I'd better leave it to Your Majesty to judge."
Liu Jin pondered for a while, then thought about it and said.
In fact, the most important thing about officials in the Ming Dynasty is that they are corrupt. There are many corrupt officials, but there is nothing that can be done about it because the salary in the Ming Dynasty is really too low. Among the officials in the past dynasties, the salary in the Ming Dynasty was the lowest.
The upright official Hai Rui was so poor that he almost starved to death. This shows how low the salary of officials in the Ming Dynasty was. You must know that Hai Rui's official position was not small.
Salaries were too low, so there were a lot of corrupt officials in the Ming Dynasty, and many officials would annex land wantonly after becoming officials. Because as an official, you don't have to pay taxes if you have a title, so a large amount of land will naturally be gathered under your command.
Officials have a lot of land behind them.
Similarly, behind almost every official's hometown, the families of these officials are local smugglers, annexing land, and monopolizing some local businesses. This is a very common thing.
Compared with later generations, the officials of the Ming Dynasty still lacked restraint on this matter. They not only restrained themselves, but also restrained the families of these officials. Coupled with the existence of clan forces, in this regard, the problem is still
