Xinshun 1730

Chapter 1064

Below these rogue talents, there are professional thugs who are responsible for the black hands.

During the long-term struggle in Songjiang Prefecture, these capitalists lacked lackeys and professional thugs, and they also became more and more mature in the struggle.

Many past experiences, discard the dross and take the essence.

In the repeated suppression of employee strikes, they summed up two experiences.

One: When there are too many people, it doesn't matter how serious they are.

Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that professional people do the professional work of beating people until they are temporarily alive and do not need to go to court.

Second: professional people do it, and there must be a professional team responsible for blocking those who are emotionally aroused.

Well, this requires a team of about ten people.

Professional black hands, three people.

Take 50% of all kill costs.

The remaining seven people were responsible for forming a circle to ensure that those who were incited outside would not be able to squeeze in, and would not beat people to death on the spot because of punching and kicking.

These seven people get the remaining 50% of the killing fee.

Assigned by technology.

There are rules here.

For example, if the benefactor asks to die within three or six months, as long as the other party is guaranteed not to die within the specified time, the benefactor will cover the rest of the expenses.

In the future, lawsuits, burning and burying money, etc., have nothing to do with them.

These people, mainly from Ningbo, are called "Ningbo Dalang".These people gathered in Songjiang Prefecture and had a great relationship with Japan.

In the former dynasty, Ningbo was the front line in the war against the Japanese, and a large number of martial arts masters joined to pass on their martial arts.

The Japanese invasion subsided, and the Ningbo Gang, which traded with Japan, rose. It needed to compete with the Zhangzhou Gang and the Fuzhou Gang for trade with Japan. Open the key points of those battlefield killing techniques.

Later, Dashun improved his navigation skills and took the direct route from Matsue to Nagasaki instead of Ryukyu.The Dongyang Trading Company monopolized trade, and the shareholding system collapsed. The Ningbo Gang, the Fuzhou Gang, and the Zhangzhou Gang, many Ningbo Dalangs came to Songjiang Mansion to ask for a living.

Their professionalism was quickly affirmed, and they quickly won the old names in Jiading, Chongming and other places.For example, during the reign of Chongzhen, the Dihuanghui and the Tuanyuanhui were established, and they all quit the ranks of professional fighters and changed their careers to engage in fairy dance.

These Ningbo Dalang.Today I came here to beat people to death.

And they went down, there were more than 80 professional thugs mixed into the Yanto team.

These thugs are mainly from Shandong, especially in Dengzhou Prefecture.

Basically, they are retired sailors.

After all, they have received professional military training and have a certain degree of organization.In addition, the gang battle is a melee, and it is necessary to emphasize the cooperation between the teams.

Relying on their organizational strength, they also quickly won the thugs in Dongyang, Yiwu and other places who were very famous in the previous dynasty and became famous in the crying incident.

These thugs from Dongyang and Yiwu, in the eunuchs and Fushe street fights in the last years of the previous dynasty, defeated Tsingyi from Songsu Nanjing and shined brilliantly.But in the end, they still can't beat professionally trained retired sailors with a certain degree of organization.

The main purpose of these Terengganu thugs is to quickly disperse the opposing thugs in the event of a scuffle, causing the organized thugs on the opposite side to collapse.

At the same time, under the leadership of the talented thugs, in the name of "righteous indignation", they arrested the group of thugs on the opposite side, quickly controlled the market, and ensured that the other side could not make a sound.

It should be said that compared with the excellent resource allocation advantages of the old era, capital has attracted a large number of "talents" through its ability to allocate capital and give full play to its advantages.

From a long time ago, "Xiucai knelt and licked the big salt merchant, and asked yesterday that you were not at home, did your family know?" Orthodox scholars exclaimed that the world has reversed the trend of the times. The "top talents in the rogue world" in Tokyo, Shandong contributed.

After years of struggle experience, we continue to grow in the struggle.

What is reflected behind this is that the organization of the labor class in southern Jiangsu is also constantly improving.

Otherwise, how could a rogue organization that was born out of a fight against the strikes of hired workers have the motivation to grow and progress?

Under such a professional hooligan organization, the Kickmaker Association in Songjiang Mansion still went on strike successfully, which shows that it is also making continuous progress.

Today, these "masters of a hundred battles" in the hooligan world are naturally full of confidence when they want to fight against those old gangs that have not made much progress in a hundred years after they have stabilized in Dashun.

As for the salt households who really have a stake in this time, it is hard to say that they are the protagonists of this struggle.

In fact, no matter whether it is these individual people who want to reclaim wasteland for salt; or those salt households who do not want to reclaim wasteland for salt, or those who have been cheated by Liu Yu may not get a penny of compensation.

Their existence is the same as that of the "people" in the stories of many fanciful and highly enlightened citizens rebelling against Jiangnan in the past.

And the truly powerful "slaves" are not the people, but "bandits" and "thieves" in the records of scholars.

It is very easy for these salt households who support land reclamation to organize and go to the county to seek justice.

Because, the reclamation company only needs to do a binding to incite these people.

Waste salt reclamation.

Cotton enclosure.

It's two things.

Reclaiming wasteland with waste salt is the basis for growing cotton in enclosures.

However, is it necessary to enclose the land for cotton planting in order to reclaim wasteland with waste salt?

Yanhu had no way of knowing the imperial court's policies through normal channels.

Therefore, the wasteland reclamation company only needs to forcibly bind "waste salt reclamation" and "enclosed land to grow cotton", and these salt households will naturally be excited.

Theoretically, if the imperial court had introduced the policy of waste salt reclamation, then this big policy should take care of the small ones.

The issue of ownership and use rights here is ambiguous in the imperial court.The right to explain is in Liu Yu's hands.

If it’s just a waste of salt to reclaim wasteland, then one problem must be solved first, that is, “Can I reclaim wasteland by myself”?
Why do I have to sell the grass to the land reclamation company?To be a tenant farmer under the management of the land reclamation company, or it can also be called a sub-land contractor.

Obviously, the court did not clarify this issue.

It is also not clearly stated that the waste salt reclamation order means that the ownership of Caodang was bestowed on the salt households by the imperial court.

In fact, the court was so ambiguous, or Liu Yu deliberately did not explain the policy, in order to let the land reclamation company reduce costs.

Once the policy is explained and it is clarified that the ownership of the grasslands belongs to the salt households, then a large number of cover will choose to refuse to sell the grasslands and reclaim wasteland by themselves.

Liu Yu did not provide a policy explanation, but he did not issue a policy saying that the grassland must not be given to salt households.

This gave the land reclamation company the opportunity to take advantage of the loopholes.

They sent people to tell these salt households who had already negotiated: the deed and the course completion ticket will be returned to you; the compensation promised to you will also be voided; we will not enclose this land, you can continue to cook salt.

Because someone forbids us to cultivate wasteland.

Here, the enclosure and reclamation are skillfully bound together, as if only enclosure can reclaim wasteland.This kind of binding narrative is very effective.

The cruelest thing in the world is not to fall into darkness forever from birth.

It's about giving people hope and then letting that hope be dashed.

It’s like a blind man, someone brought medicine and healed his eyes, and the blind man saw the light for a moment and saw the colorful world, but the person who delivered the medicine said: Someone said, you should stay blind forever.sorry.

Then the person who delivered the medicine stabbed the man's eyes.

From the beginning to the end, the decision-makers and professional managers of the reclamation company knew their strategy very well.

It is also very clear that their purpose is to bankrupt these salt households who have turned into small farmers in the future and take away their land.

Because this is not the end of the Qing Dynasty, investors and hosts do not have the traditional feelings of "saving the country by industry, developing agriculture and commerce, and developing education".

This is the mid-term of Dashun, when the sun is rising and the fire is cooking, investors only have the feeling of "profit"
But these salt households don't know the trap inside, they only know that they are going to get rid of the fate of boiling salt.

Yanhu is not afraid of hard work, but hard work can't bring money, and labor can't get rich at all. They are really poor.

Theoretically, they can also cut grass and reeds on "unowned" land, cook private salt, and improve their lives.

But in a state where the grassroots has basically collapsed and the imperial power does not come down to the county, is there any "ownerless" land?
No owner in law does not mean no owner in reality.

When poor people go to the mountain to cut firewood and cut grass, they are beaten up and said that the mountain belongs to their family. Later generations find it difficult to understand and feel that it is false.

Because later generations can really realize that mountains belong to the country and the collective, not to individuals.

A New Three Views that has been popularized by later generations for decades, people in mountainous areas still can’t understand why it’s wrong to reclaim wasteland at will and go up the mountain to cut trees?
And behind this is the unspoken rule awareness of private property rights that has been hidden for more than a thousand years - there is no public land, no public forests, no group property rights or state-owned property rights, only mine and others.

In this old age, it is nonsense to only look at the law to reverse the logic of life at the bottom.

According to the law, the grass that has not been handed over to the grass and has not been stamped by the government cannot be moved.

But the result is the flood of private salt in Huainan. There is no coal mine in Huainan, and there is no sun-dried salt method. How did these salts crystallize when heated?
These independent small salt households would be beaten to death if they dared to mow grass on "unowned" land.

Even if he cooks his own private salt, there are salt tyrants oppressing him.

Even the Yanba here are good people who don't bully the locals, they are all chivalrous, and they borrowed money to survive after the famine.

The imperial court, and even the emperor's internal funds, were lent out to support the salt industry.

However, you will definitely choose to lend to merchants.

Because the merchant can pay back the money.And lending to small salt households and small farmers cannot afford to pay back the money.

The Qingmiao loan in the Song Dynasty can theoretically rely on debt collection such as raising cows and selling land.

But what about Xiaoyanhu?The grass yard does not belong to them, neither the stove nor the ash pit belong to them, but to the imperial court. There is no hanging hair, so how can I repay the loan if I lend it to them?
The reality is that the imperial government controlled and recruited salt households, often recruiting 1000 people, and after a few years they ran away and only half of them were struggling to support them.

The Yanhus who came to the county now are all Yanhus, but they are very different from the Yanhus who came to the county a few days ago.

Now in the hands of these salt households, they have the right to use the grassland and finish the lessons by themselves.

In other words, they can get the compensation from the land reclamation company and the promised land.

The land reclamation company gave them a seemingly good hope, but after just a few days, it turned this hope into despair.

Naturally, these salt households were easily incited, organized, and came to the county seat to discuss the matter.

Before, they couldn't win the argument, because before they could only rely on themselves to fight against salt tyrants and merchants.

And now, standing behind them is a new capital group.This emerging group has money and low-level hooligans.

There is also an honorable man who gave them a platform in the court, and a series of officials who support reform.

They had no choice but to come to the county seat to seek justice.

A beautiful and colorful picture scroll, it seems that the most useless thing is the white paper that bears the color of the strokes.

But without this most common white paper, no matter how beautiful the lines are, there is nowhere to write.

These salt households are just this blank sheet of paper.

Those who oppose salt reform do not care about the survival of these salt households.Because these Yanhus are not suffering today, they have been suffering for hundreds of years, and no compassionate generation has ever really tried to change the living conditions of Yanhus.

Those who support the salt reform are even planning to let these salt households go bankrupt within a few years and take over their land as hired labor.Because they didn't come to land reclamation to improve the lives of salt households at all, but to invest in land reclamation for the saying that "the overseas market is in urgent need of cotton cloth, and the price of cotton will rise sharply this year."

The two sides are only using these salt households to achieve their respective goals.

The blank paper is already in place, and it only depends on who wins in the end and who puts pen to paper to paint and transform according to their needs.
