Chapter 131 Parade
In the afternoon, food prices rose again.

After the brief gap caused by looting, the imperial court sent people to set up stalls at various intersections to sell grain, vegetables, and fruits at a low price.

I heard that there are fresh seafood and slaves selling at the port.

And all are cheap.

The regular black slaves have now dropped from [-] yuan to [-] yuan, but the price has not changed since the imperial court sold them, but even if it has not changed, the slaves, seafood, food and vegetables, etc. have also been snapped up.

Chu Tianshu felt that something must happen.

But he was completely clueless.

People from the Jurisprudence School were involved in something today, and they were sacrificed by King Li on the spot.

Cui He's posthumous reputation has also been added to this.

No one knows why a person who has been dead for a long time should take the blame for this kind of thing.

But someone always takes the blame.

Dead people are definitely easier to bully than living people in this situation.

That night, people in the factory got together to discuss the changes.

The court did not issue a ban on alcohol, nor did it order a curfew, and the number of people patrolling the streets did not increase, but everyone still voluntarily did not go out.

Now the streets are deserted, and the usual bustle is gone.

The children also obediently ate and worked for a while before going to bed.

Chu Tianshu pushed for a long time according to the existing information, but he couldn't deduce anything, only felt that the situation was very chaotic.

But the order is clear and the same stability as usual.

Moreover, there is no shortage of supplies, and there are not even big rumors recently.

This is very strange.

After thinking for a long time, because of the lack of information, I don't know what will happen, so I can't make a targeted response.

In the early morning of the second day, the shouts outside the window were like waves, and someone knocked on the factory door, so the children also came here to knock on Chu Tianshu's door.

Chu Tianshu simply washed up, followed the guidance of the workers and looked out. The streets were already full of people holding banners and banners.

Judging by their clothes, these people are all poor people.

In this year, the poor were generally illiterate.

That is to say, these people are either led by some learned people, or they are simply hired by some caring people with money.

Looking at the banners again, they generally asked for reductions in working hours and increases in wages.

Chu Tianshu watched a few more, and his heart surged immediately.

But he knew in his heart that this was probably a bait.

Seeing Chu Tianshu's appearance, some parade workers came to distribute flags to Chu Tianshu, and put the banner on the plaque of Chiyang Iron and Steel Factory.

"Are you holding a parade without hurting people?" Chu Tianshu asked while these people were hanging banners.

Several people who helped put up the banners heard this, so they replied: "Before we came, we had already checked the working hours, work content, salary and factory owner's internal system of each factory."

"Only the factory?"

"Of course it's not just factories." The man replied, "We've checked out all the factories and shops in Tianjing."

"What about small restaurants, dental shops, rice shops, brothels, car dealers, boat dealers, hotels, etc.?"

"What are those investigations doing?" The man gave Chu Tianshu a strange look.

"Chu Gong thinks those should be investigated too?" A voice sounded from behind.

The people who put up the banner in front of them finished printing the banner, closed the door for Chu Tianshu and left.

Chu Tianshu turned around and looked.

The person in front of him was Cui Yin.

"Probably should be investigated." Chu Tianshu smiled: "After all, if we can unite more forces, the matter will be more sure of success."

"Gong Chu's opinion." Cui Yin smiled.

Chu Tianshu waved his hand: "Let's go back to eat first."

Saying that, he turned his head and looked out.

The mighty parade is still going on.

After eating, Chu Tianshu went out to visit several national factories.

These factories have also been shut down, and the factories are deserted. According to the lame doorman, the workers in the factories have also gone on strike.

After turning around a few more times, I still didn't find any official person who came forward to stop the parade.

From here, Chu Tianshu was more and more sure that behind this parade was some people in the imperial court.

But no matter who set out to promote and brew such a huge demonstration, in short, things have happened, and the situation of the workers can be changed for the better.

Chu Tianshu thought, after going back, he set up a small stall at the entrance of the factory, and asked Master Zhou, who was in charge of the kitchen in the factory, to prepare herbal tea and some small pieces of bread and pickles in the stall, and let the workers in the procession take whatever they wanted. use.

Then they walked around with the parade team and roughly found the general destination of their parade.

——The Metropolitan Council next to the Imperial Palace.

Of all the seven major proposals of the Yun Dynasty, only the proposal of the kings to mobilize troops was completed in the palace.

For the remaining six meetings, the general procedure is that the sub-divisions of the parliament submit specific matters, and then the leader of the meeting decides the topics, which are handed over to the division meeting to convene and select materials.

Afterwards, the attendants collected materials and submitted files. The leader of the meeting reported to the imperial court, and the emperor used the seal. Then the council discussed the results and submitted them.

These two crucial parliamentary deliberation processes were carried out in the Metropolitan Council.

The workers' parade finally gathered at the Metropolitan Assembly Hall. It cannot be said that they found the wrong place, but they did not find the right place either.

However, in matters like parades, the important thing is not to find the right person, but the parade itself.

Only by making demands and showing strength can we gain the attention of the government in power.

Of course, all the purposes of the parade can never be fully realized.

But the situation will improve.

Because the government is bound to be afraid of the united bottom.

So in theory, within a fixed system, the more things like demonstrations are done, the better the situation and living conditions of the marchers will be.

Wages are raised, working hours are reduced, and personal dignity is gained...

For this kind of thing, although Chu Tianshu knew that the parade could not solve the fundamental problem, he still supported it.

It's better than working hard blindfolded.

After leaving the capital, Chu Tianshu did not go to the palace, but went to the Qin Mansion to find Qin Yi.

"Young Master Qin said before that he would sort out a copy of Song State's materials for me, but I don't know if it's finished."

"Not yet, I only sorted out the situation that some domestic businessmen brought back when they did business in the past. These are definitely not enough." Qin Yi shook his head: "And you also know that after a while, the Kingdom will use troops against the Song Dynasty. The situation will definitely change again... Sigh, I really don't know if Ying Zhi's going to the Song Kingdom is good or bad."

"Then I don't know." Chu Tianshu shook his head: "But anyway, if you don't go, Young Master Qin, it must not be a very good thing."

"I want to go too." Qin Yi shook his head: "I want to go..."

But can't.
