Chapter 139 Dongmen City Police Station ([-])

Before Zhou Shizhai came here, he thought that these people were just like the foreign businessmen in Guangzhou city, only to protect their own mansions, gold and silver treasures were invited to him.

But as soon as he landed, he knew that was not the case.The huge boats laid out by Bobo, the flat roads, the four-wheeled carts without livestock... Unexpected things happened one after another. When he saw the huge scale of Bairen City under construction, he felt a little flustered for the first time.

Are they really just sea merchants?Zhou Shizhai already knew very well that there is no need for bodyguards to protect their property here. As for the ships moored in Bopu Harbor, which power in this sea area can have them?

Then what is the purpose of bringing him here?

He and his two apprentices were temporarily arranged in the small building of Dongmen Industrial and Commercial Office. The room was not big, even a little cramped.The layout is very comfortable, although the furniture is pieced together at first glance.He lives in one room, and two apprentices live in one room.In the evening, the leaders of the sea merchants here, a Dongmen, a man surnamed Dugu, and a woman entertained them together. The meals were simple but very affordable, including fish, meat and vegetables. The leaders were very polite, and he knew This is a newly opened market, and it is a bit chaotic after too many people come.

"—Although some policemen have been recruited, they don't know anything about the Ming Dynasty's Jianghu environment," Dongmen Chuiyu politely toasted, "I would like to ask Master Zhou for more guidance in the future!"

"I will try my best!" Zhou Shizhai drank it down and put down his glass, "I just want to ask some masters, oh, and madam?"

Mu Min waved his hand carelessly: "What about Mrs. Ma'am, you can just call us comrades."

"We are not comrades, you have to figure it out." Dugu jumped up.

"I'm talking about comrades' original intentions, don't pollute them with rubbish colonial culture!" Mu Min was upright.

Zhou Shidi could see that this woman was obviously the boss here, and indeed she had been overseas for a long time, and she had become barbarian.A little contemptuous.

"I would like to ask a few, um, comrades," Zhou Shidi said, "what do you want to make this market look like?"

What does it look like?Several people looked at each other in blank dismay, naturally the more bustling and lively the better.

Zhou Shidi shook his head: "The owners of the market here are the sea merchants, right? If the market is to be prosperous, I don't understand this, but once the market is prosperous, people from three mountains and five mountains will naturally come to profit and want a piece of the pie. How are you going to get along?"

"On the side of the couch, how can you allow others to sleep soundly!" Dugu said firmly.

Zhou Shizhai was silent for a while, and said: "Comrades, Dongmen City is a wild market now, and there are not many shops and merchants. Even if some small thieves come, it is nothing to worry about. In the future, this place will prosper, and people from all walks of life will come here. You have a big backer. Not to mention, when the time comes, you will be a beggar on the street, and you will also have a way to the sky. One mistake can turn your place upside down..."

Mu Min smiled faintly: "Master Zhou, we all understand what you said. However, the first advantage here is that there is no care and no worries. No one is ours. The truth comes out of the knife handle. Whose origin is, if you want to make trouble-" She made a murderous look

Zhou Shidi nodded: "I understand, I should do my best to serve you!"

The merchants of Dongmen City suddenly discovered that a screen wall had begun to be built at the intersection of Dongmen Street, and craftsmen were chiseling something on one of the walls—this was the newly released "Public Security Law".This public security law is basically a mixed version of the "Public Security Management Punishment Regulations" and the "Daming Law". The biggest difference is that all punishments such as detention, boarding, and exile have been turned into reeducation through labor, starting with one year.Reeducation through labor does not need to go through the judicial process, the director of the police station can do it with a paperwork, which has an excellent effect on combating public security crimes.Various departments welcome this policy of providing free labor, but of course it has also been questioned by some democrats: direct execution without trial will hinder judicial justice.But the justice enjoyed by the natives is obviously not the concern of most traversers.

There is a three-story semi-circular high platform in front of the screen wall. This is the rostrum where the public judgment conference is held. Public trials and judgments have always been the most effective form of deterrence in the judicial system of the dictatorship of the proletariat. This tradition can be preserved.Dugu proposes to marry him eagerly hoping to erect a guillotine on the crossroads square, but the death penalty belongs to the national judicial power, and it seems too early for the crossing crowd to blatantly violate the power of the court, and this is just a market after all.

A group of strange people appeared at the same time as Zhaobi: wearing rattan hats, short-haired double-breasted black jackets with stand-up collars, wooden buttons, wide belts around the waist, white leg wraps on their calves, and straw sandals on their feet.A short wooden stick with a short horizontal handle hangs from the buttocks.There is also a shield-like embroidered cloth on each person's sleeve, with some incomprehensible patterns, and only a few words can be recognized: the above is public security, and the bottom is Dongmen City.

"Damn, this looks like an Annan police officer!" Dugu proposed to let out a desperate scream when he saw the clothes and equipment sent by the logistics.The uniform he originally designed for the police force was very beautiful, with a large brimmed hat, a black lapel uniform, a leather armed belt, breeches, boots, and a badge on the chest-how can it make people feel familiar so quickly.

"Committee Xiao, the costume design I sent up is not like this! How can such a rustic look deter bad elements?" Dugu called Xiao Zishan.

"Don't you just make the police look like the SS? No!"

"It doesn't matter if I plagiarize Hitler's idea in advance?! It's 1628, and Hitler is still an atom."

"Riding boots, armed belts? Wearing these things in Hainan? It's too wasteful. Now that supplies are not abundant, it's better to save some money. Back then, the red guards wore red cuffs to make a revolution, and I never heard that they had to have all uniforms before they could fight. "

The Hard School was hit hard for the first time, but other Hard Schools also raised serious doubts about Xiao Zishan's aesthetics.

The first appearance of the police team in Dongmen City attracted a large number of onlookers. Although everyone didn't know what the police meant, the common people quickly guessed it: this is the short-haired "fast class"!But the short-haired fast class is not the same as the county yamen's guards. One is that they move uniformly and walk around the street at regular intervals every day. This Dongmen City is not big in the first place, so you can see them once in a while; The second is to control it leniently - "dogs on the street" control everything, even littering on the ground, business disputes, if the voice is a little louder, they will immediately intervene.

These ten police officers belonged to the "uniform team". Outside the uniform team, Zhou Shizhai led the team, his two apprentices, and two or three people from the labor force were recruited as the "plainclothes team."Scatter everywhere and pay attention to movement secretly every day.

Dongmen Chuiyu originally suggested to organize group defense among the merchants in Dongmen City and organize shopkeepers to carry out night patrols and the like.But there are many merchants here, but few merchants.There are not many shops in total, so of course we can't organize anyone to come.However, some traditional security measures have been applied.

The inn implements a guest check-in check-in system.Every day the shopkeeper of the inn has to go to the Dongmen City Police Station to report the situation of the guests that day and see if there is anything suspicious.

Ma Peng's mother actually also contributed to the security of Dongmen City: as a simple copy of the mass defense plan, she and several elderly women from the workers' families were sent to the market to set up stalls as secret sentries.Several salespersons under Li Mei of the welfare agency also participated in this "group defense". As a reward, they can get some extra food.As Mu Min's mother-in-law, Li Mei is very enthusiastic about this plan, and the expenses of these "group defense" are all paid from the welfare agency.

After everything was in place, the 1628 Public Security and Illegal Action jointly conducted by the Dongmen City Industrial and Commercial Office and the Dongmen City Police Station officially kicked off. They all sent people to participate in this unified operation. Firstly, the blockade was set up, and then each team began to carry out large-scale arrests in the market based on the investigation results of the plainclothes team in the previous stage. Mu Min demanded that the entire operation be carried out quickly. And quiet, try not to disturb irrelevant personnel.

On the roof of the industrial and commercial office, a huge voice kept playing announcements in various dialects:

"Listen people, this market is arresting bad guys. We will never let a bad guy go, and we won't catch a good guy by mistake... Now everyone please stay where you are and don't move around... No one can resist, otherwise we will fight Die no matter..."

Teams of people wearing first-year-style rattan helmets and holding first-year-style batons or rifles with bayonets patrolled the market under the high-pitched sound of tweeters, arresting people according to lists and photos.All those who resisted and escaped were beaten to the point of bleeding. After several policemen who thought they were strong and strong defeated a few policemen, they were finally stabbed to death with bayonets.Those who were caught were all tied up with ropes, and they were escorted to squat down in front of the police station, and they were not allowed to raise their heads or speak. The young men who had just become police officers were happy to show their prestige on them.

Those caught were mainly thieves from all walks of life, including thieves, pickpockets, liars, and collectors of stolen goods.After a simple public sentencing meeting, these people were all sentenced to one year of forced labor, and Wu De led a few heavily armed soldiers to escort them away—the Bairentan quarry is in need of hard labor.

Gambling has a great impact on social security, so the police station was the first to ban gambling. All the stalls in Dongmen City were banned in action, the money was confiscated, and the stall owners were expelled.Before the expulsion, they recorded the statement according to the procedure, pressed their fingerprints, wrote a statement of guarantee (guarantee), and held up a sign to take pictures-as a case record.

"Next time we come to gamble, it won't be so cheap, get out of here!" Dugu proposed to marry with one foot on the bench and shouted viciously.Several stall owners were already scared out of their wits - the flash light when taking pictures made them think that they had been bewitched by some kind of magic spell.

During the whole process, the loudspeaker kept playing the "Notice on Cleaning up and Rectifying the Public Security Environment in Dongmen City": In addition to the banning of the gambling industry, small pawns and loan sharks closely related to gambling were also allowed to leave the market within a limited time, and those who continued their activities Severe punishment.Prostitutes must register at the police station within a limited time, and those who fail to register within the time limit will be expelled from the market...

**The industry survived.Those who operate this industry in the market are nomads or nearby "half-closed doors" (secret prostitutes). Stealing or stealing money from clients happens from time to time, but considering the disparity in the ratio of men and women in the local area, this industry is tolerable category.After discussing with the civil affairs and health departments, it was decided to issue prostitute licenses in Dongmen City.All prostitutes must be registered with the police station to be issued a license.Those who committed suicide without a license were found to be deported once and reeducated through labor the second time.Originally, the civil affairs department hoped that the health department would carry out the monthly physical examination, but the health department has a serious shortage of manpower, equipment, and medicines, so it will not be implemented for the time being.

The entire operation process was carried out in an orderly manner, which impressed Zhou Shidi.Don't look at this group of "Australian comrades" who don't know much about the world.This hand is much more beautiful than the government office.Not only is the action clean and neat, but everything is prepared.Deal with leniency and strictness.Compared with the dark, greedy and cool yamen, it is nothing more than cloud and mud.

Such a small Dongmen City can do so well, what if they manage the whole of Lingao and the whole of Guangzhou?Zhou Shidi shook his head, this is too absurd.
