mage in the late qing dynasty

Chapter 922 Yao Jia, the gunman

Jane Simscock was startled and quickly shouted, "Zhao, you can't kill people in the Netherlands. Think about it, you don't want the princess to hear her father kill someone, right?"

Zhao Chuanxin's smile froze.

He never had children.

Suddenly there was a strange feeling lingering in my heart.

But he walked towards Bernhard anyway.

Bernhard was dismissive: "What do you want to do? Do you want to show the evil and treachery of your 'Yellow Peril', or your greed and filth? You are the most deceitful nation on earth, the most ignorant... "

At this time, Zhao Chuanxin was already approaching.

The guard drew his saber, but before he could take the next step, the saber had been snatched away by Zhao Chuanxin.

Hit the point directly and pierce the other guard's palm, making him unable to draw his sword.

Hendrick looked at the Prime Minister, then at the other ministers, and still gave in.

Zhao Chuanxin threw away his saber, lit a cigar, and looked down at Bernhard: "I really envy your courage. Even I don't dare to discuss this in front of myself, but you dare."

Bernhard's triumphant expression ended abruptly.

Hendrick's big face was visibly swollen.

Zhao Chuanxin bared his teeth and smiled: "It's not a big problem."

Zhao Chuanxin didn't stop him either.

Progress sideways, and the other guy gets a wrist injury.

Zhao Chuanxin took out his glasses and put them on: "It only applies to workers in the manufacturing field. The benefits are too narrow. The scope of application should cover all workers except agricultural and animal husbandry workers and seafarers."

Zhao Chuanxin let go, and Bernhard breathed hard on the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood mixed with a lot of teeth.

The Home Secretary frowned: "Then agricultural and animal husbandry workers and seafarers will be ignored?"

Zhao Chuanxin made a big backhand pass.

"I not only beat him, I also beat him." Zhao Chuanxin grinned.

His strike was like lightning, and he suddenly grabbed Bernhard's hair and pressed it down.

"Of course not. Re-establish the Agriculture and Livestock Insurance Law and a separate Seafarers' Accident Insurance Law. These laws make compensatory arrangements for workers' livelihoods, medical expenses, and living expenses of their families after accidents in the relevant industries occur to solve their worries. In addition, the "Pension and Disability Insurance Law" should also be put on the agenda, specifically targeting the elderly and the disabled, and providing living subsidies for the elderly and disabled employees aged 65 and above, rather than allowing the benefits to spread. As long as they are universal, you can start from them. The welfare system releases a lot of financial resources. If conditions permit, the Sickness Benefit Insurance Law will be implemented to allow employees who have lost the ability to work due to illness to receive patient allowances. The allowance is set to be equivalent to 80% of the original salary, and the payment period can be up to 52 weeks. Equivalent to one year..."

Jane Simscock said coldly: "Hendrik, you go out first."

When someone removed Bernhard from the ground, Jane Simscock frowned and said, "Zhao, you went too far."

Prince Husband Hendrik pointed at Zhao Chuanxin: "You, who are you?"

"Why?"

The ministers were as silent as cicadas.

Bernhard screamed: "He is the Dutch king's wife, how dare you hit him?"

Slowly, Bernhard stopped moving.

Bernhard: "..."

"puff……"

Snapped……

"Yes." The Minister of the Interior took over the conversation: "Mr. Zhao, can you tell us in detail?"

"you……"

Next to him, Hendrick glared and shouted: "Presumptuous, I..."

Zhao Chuanxin looked at him with a ferocious smile: "Continue?"

Zhao Chuanxin raised his leg and kicked to the side, causing the last guard to fly backwards and hit the wall.

He held the handle of the knife, turned it upside down, and struck Bernhard in the mouth with the ring.

"Then you have never seen anything more extreme." Zhao Chuanxin sat down again and crossed his legs: "Come on, what do you want from me?"

One, two, three...

Zhao Chuanxin thought about it and realized that there were some things that Wilhelmina couldn't tell them.

"What do you say?"

Zhao Chuanxin tidied up his cashmere vest and shirt: "Do you care about me?"

"Humph." Hendrick thought that Zhao Chuanxin was worried about revenge, and regained some confidence: "You beat Bernhard like this, and this matter will never end."

Bernhard danced and tried to break away, but he was unable to break free from Zhao Chuanxin's grasp.

"Humph!"

Zhao Chuanxin pointed at him: "Did I let you speak?"

"Can you tell us in detail about the plan you told the Queen?"

"You mean the Industrial Accident Insurance Act?"

The Home Secretary asked Wilhelmina the same question: "So, who will pay?"

"Enterprises and employees pay the bill together." Zhao Chuanxin takes it for granted: "People don't worry about the shortage but the inequality. They pay the bill at the same time, and neither party complains."

Jane Simscock interjected: "Are we going to use the law to force both parties? What if they are unwilling?"

"Yes, you should learn from Wall Street and use financial means to solve problems. Why not establish a "Health Insurance Fund Law" to provide for compulsory medical insurance for wage earners and the elderly, and voluntary insurance for non-wage earners. Compulsory insurance, Individuals pay 8% for pension insurance + 2% for medical insurance + 1% for unemployment insurance + 5%-12% for provident fund. The final individual payment ratio is 16%-30%. The base for pension insurance payment should be based on the average salary in each region. The enterprise contributes a large share and individuals pay a small part. I would like to call it - five insurances and one fund.”

Everyone was talking about it.

The Minister of Finance asked a soulful question: "Mr. Zhao, does the area under your jurisdiction pay workers five insurances and one fund in this way?"

Zhao Chuanxin bared his teeth and smiled: "No."

"Ah this..."

Turns out it was just talking nonsense?
In fact, this was proposed by Xingyue based on her understanding of the welfare system in the Netherlands and Zhao Chuanxin's description of the future.

He hasn't thought that far yet.

The Home Secretary said: “What if it’s not tested and business owners and workers boycott it together?”

Who doesn’t like to make cash?

"Believe me, workers are not stupid. The poor are most afraid of getting sick and losing their jobs. How can they object to preparing for a rainy day? Moreover, when they know that the more they pay, the company will have to bear more, which is equivalent to making a profit. "Zhao Chuanxin said confidently: "For business owners, just tell them that this can mobilize workers' enthusiasm for employment, stimulate their work motivation, and improve work efficiency and productivity. All enterprises can standardize the labor force by paying five insurances and one housing fund. market. Moreover, we can also use this to compete for voice from various trade unions.”

The finance minister shook his head after hearing this: "This will do more harm than good to enterprises, especially small businesses. Excessive burden proportion will affect their development, and they will not agree."

Zhao Chuanxin shrugged: "By the way, I forgot to mention one thing. Once workers start paying for the five social insurances and one fund, they cannot stop paying, otherwise it will have a great impact on their post-retirement security. Moreover, the five social insurances and one fund are to a certain extent It stipulates employee mobility, which can be regarded as restricting workers’ career choices.”

Wow... After everyone thought for a moment, they understood the sinister intentions of Zhao Chuanxin's new insurance law.

For the people at the bottom, even if they have a little more money, when they think about their old life, they must work non-stop and never be idle for a moment. Even if you change jobs, you don’t dare to delay for too long or give up halfway. Workers will not be able to farm, and farmers may compete to become workers first.

It can be regarded as tying up the labor force.

Change jobs? Yes, but you must find a good home first, and you must not delay paying the five insurances and one housing fund in the meantime.

The Chancellor immediately thought of the numerous advantages.

First of all, it will definitely release part of the finance used for various welfare. Secondly, just like Zhao Chuanxin, it can mobilize workers' enthusiasm for employment, stimulate their motivation to work, and improve work efficiency and productivity.

This has a huge impact on the entire Netherlands.

In fact, if Zhao Chuanxin had not proposed it first, the Netherlands would have had to wait until after World War II to complete these things.

It sounds simple, but it took many years to perfect.

Everyone was whispering to each other.

The Netherlands attaches great importance and prudence to various social welfare.

They tabulate the data on various welfare benefits to the people on December 12st every year until the 31st century. The finance minister coughed and said: "Zhao, if the insurance law you mentioned is implemented, it is inevitable for business owners to have resistance. Therefore, we must give them some sweeteners, especially small and medium-sized enterprises, which are the mainstay of the Dutch economy, regardless of quantity. They occupy an important position in the Dutch economy both in terms of revenue and turnover. They have few securities and insufficient means for loan collateral, so they mainly rely on their accumulation to operate, and their own capital ratio is relatively high. Flexible business operations are a characteristic of the Netherlands, and they cannot even compete with large companies like the United States."

Zhao Chuanxin shrugged: "So, these are things you should consider."

What does it have to do with me?

The Chancellor's eyes shone: "Zhao, when you came to The Hague, many small and medium-sized business owners spontaneously went to The Hague Bay to greet you. Later, they came to the Coulhaus Hotel to find you, but were blocked by the Arms Limitation Committee. Later. , they even found me through various relationships, and after some understanding, I learned the truth, they wanted something from you!”

Zhao Chuanxin was surprised: "What are you doing to me? Murder and arson? Do you know that I am not that kind of person?"

Everyone: "..."

The finance minister said with a shy face: "Zhao, you are looking down on yourself. You know, we in the Netherlands have no share in China, and the great powers occupy the major ports. Our products cannot be shipped to the Qing Dynasty at all. And you, not only drove away Portugal It occupies Ao Island and has a say in Shanghai, Tianjin and Hankou, especially Ao Island.”

Zhao Chuanxin understood, and there was a dangerous glint in his eyes: "What, man, do you want to imitate Portugal's idea of ​​attacking Australia Island? Believe me, I will follow suit. Haha, it's no problem to have more warships. "

Jane Simscock was startled.

There is a word called - the ship is strong and the gun is sharp.

The great powers often use their warships to scare people.

This is what poor and weak countries fear most.

But there is only one person who is not afraid, and that is Zhao Chuanxin.

Zhao Chuanxin is capable of scuttling battleships, although no one yet understands how he did it.

He scuttled many gunboats, and there was another instance where he did not scuttle but destroyed a gunboat from the inside. That time it was the Japanese who were unlucky.

Jane Simscock said: "Zhao, you misunderstood."

Zhao Chuanxin smiled half-heartedly: "I misunderstood? When you were still sea coachmen in the 17th century, you invaded our land because of your shamelessness. I understand that you Europeans are despicable and shameless. You claim to be civilized but do the most bottomless things." When someone like me appears who has no bottom line, you slander me as a butcher."

Everyone was extremely embarrassed.

What Zhao Chuanxin said is actually absolutely correct.

The finance minister almost swore: "Zhao, we won't and don't have the ability to do that. Don't worry, we don't need to build a concession on Ao Island."

"Yes, you don't dare to build it even if you want to." Zhao Chuanxin didn't give him any face.

"..." The Minister of Finance said bravely: "Zhao, think about your children and Her Majesty the Queen. If these small and medium-sized enterprises can taste the sweetness, they will support five insurances and one housing fund. Besides, this is also good for you. No harm, right?"

However, Zhao Chuan couldn't get enough. He leaned back in his chair, shook his legs and said, "Let your queen tell me, maybe there is still some hope. But why should I help you?"

Some ideas had already occurred in his mind.

If the Netherlands wants to sell goods, many companies will spring up like mushrooms under Zhao Chuanxin's rule, and the cars developed by Juanwang Technical College will eventually be exported.

Unilateral dumping is definitely not possible, but trade is possible.

Furthermore, even if they agree, they must acknowledge Wilhelmina's love.

Jane Simscock understood. He stood up, buttoned up his suit, and his old face was full of kindness: "Zhao, don't you want to formally meet your child?"

Through today's conversation, Jane Simscock no longer regards Zhao Chuanxin as a simple martial artist, or a butcher in the Western world.

As for Zhao Chuanxin's understanding of the people's livelihood economy, we cannot just regard it as a reckless martial artist. What's more, as the Minister of Finance said, Zhao Chuanxin already has many trump cards, so many that everyone must face them.

Zhao Chuanxin's legs stopped shaking, he also stopped smoking, and his hands and feet were somewhat nowhere to be found: "I'll see you, of course I'll see you."

……

Flos von, the British member of the Arms Limitation Commission, received a telegram from Britain.

The telegram claimed that on board the Lusitania, an Englishman suffered a great insult - he was slapped in the face.

Some people suspected that the person who boarded the ship was Zhao Chuanxin.

Considering the time when Zhao Chuanxian arrived in the Netherlands, don't say it, really don't say it...

Flos Feng went to Bernat angrily: "Sir, take a look, this must be Zhao Chuanxin. While shouting for peace, he killed people and set fires on the ship. What's even more outrageous is..."

Belenat read the telegram and was silent for a moment: "This has nothing to do with peace, at most it is a personal grudge."

Floss Feng: "..."

Seeing that he was aggrieved, Bernat suggested: "Besides, we can't be sure that the Asian man is Zhao Chuanxin. Maybe you should ask him in person. Obviously, you have also discovered that Zhao Chuanxin is not the legendary one." So rude and unreasonable.”

……

Lubin Mansion.

The fighting lasted from noon to night.

It was the patrol at first, but after the patrol failed to catch him, they called in the Gray Ax Army.

Hu Da immediately led his cavalry to block all exits of Lubin Mansion.

The fierce fighting continued into the evening, and the joint tiger hunting team gathered men and horses to break out.

People in Lubin Mansion were in panic, and every house locked its doors tightly.

Hu Da found that this group of people can be called the elite of the elite, each of them is a sharpshooter and experienced in hundreds of battles.

This was definitely a well-planned attack.

But why did they attack Yao Shijie?

Everyone was puzzled, even Yao Jia himself didn't understand.

Hu Er said: "Brother, I asked people to examine the bodies. There are Japanese and Maozi. Zhang Shouzeng called the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Tsarist Russia and Japan, but they refused to admit it. If what they said is true, these must be mercenaries, and they are Yao Shijie. The enemy paid for it. But Yao Shijie said that no one wanted to kill him. If they lied, how could the Japanese conduct a joint military operation with Mao Zi just to assassinate Yao Shijie? Brother, please take a look. "

Hu Da took the booklet, which contained a hand-drawn map of Lubin Prefecture, marking the telegraph poles and telephone poles of Lubin Prefecture, as well as the distances of surrounding protrusions and various highlands.

Some Hu Da can understand, some cannot.

For example, the distance of 600 meters is marked, there is a crosshair, and the crosshair is marked with scales.

There is a little man riding a horse in the crosshair. The crosshair is offset by 0.06 from the front of the little man's head. What is this?

Hu Er was very clever. He pointed at the horse and said, "Brother, look, this horse is running. It takes time for the bullet to hit. This person will move the muzzle of the gun forward. When the bullet arrives, the horse will also arrive, and then he can shoot." The middle man. But how to calculate this?"

Hu Da tugged at his beard and said: "I heard from the prefect that a sharpshooter should be equipped with an observer and a range card. Is this the range card? But I have never heard anyone mention it except from the prefect. Pass."

Hu Er added: "They also had bombs that could be thrown. Two patrol officers were killed by these bombs. It was impossible to prevent them."

Hu Da pointed at the map and said: "They couldn't have sneaked into Lubin Mansion quietly. They must have taken a train. But with so many people carrying so much fast-fire ammunition, how could the Dongqing Railway not notice it?"

"Brother, are you saying that this matter has something to do with Tsarist Russia?"

"Exactly, Japan can't escape its involvement. However, I still don't know why I attacked Yao Shijie."

Hu Er rolled his eyes: "Brother, I heard that the prefect is related to General Manager Yao, and the two have somewhat similar faces. Could it be that they mistake General Manager Yao for the prefect?"

"Eh?" Hu Da's heart tightened: "It makes some sense."

Hu Er added: "In Lubin Mansion, we are not allowed to use artillery. We have to be careful with our electric guns. We can't take them down with our hands tied. Why not use a plan?"

"What's the plan?"

"Since they mistook Yao Shijie for the prefect, why not spread the word that the prefect was seriously injured, but could still be saved, and wait until they come to the door?"

"Hmph, that's a bad idea. The prefect is the god of war, how can he wait for the soldiers and crabs to get hurt? It really damages his reputation."

"Brother, I secretly believe that the prefect doesn't care about this reputation at all." Hu Er continued: "Besides, a soldier never tires of deceit, brother."

Hu Da couldn't make up his mind.

He said: "Let me discuss it with Zhang Heyan, Yao Shijie, Mo Ci and others."

Several important people in Lubin Mansion held a small meeting in Yao Jia's ward.

After hearing the analysis of the Hu brothers, Yao Jia's eyes widened: "Zhuo, I took the blame for the prefect? ​​Did you know I had a beard?"

To say that he was also very lucky, both bullets avoided his vital organs and arteries. He was not dead, nor was he disabled, but his muscles and bones would be damaged at least. It was hard to say how strong that arm would be in the future.

Hu Da asked: "Do you want to spread the news that the prefect was seriously injured?"
