Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

Both Wei Anguo and Yang Xiaolin asked, "Is there any way you can intervene in this matter?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Aren't they going to liquidate the land area? Wouldn't it be good for me to become a craftsman?"

Yang Xiaolin and Wei Anguo were shocked when they heard Lin Yuan's words. Wei Anguo said, "You are going to be a craftsman? How can you be a craftsman with your status? They will definitely not let you be a craftsman!"

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "To be more precise, I am not going to be a craftsman, but I will take full responsibility for the clearing of the land area. At that time, it will be up to me to decide whether a piece of land will be ten mu or twenty mu!"

Yang Xiaolin said: "If you take over this matter, it means that they have to go through you every time they delineate the ownership of the land, and they have no room to do anything! Xiao Dezhang has a deep grudge with you, and Yuan Yulin is Yuan Shikai's henchmen, they came this time with a conspiracy to seize the land, how could you easily take over the matter of liquidating the land area?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "It's all about human effort. I'm going to use a series of methods to take care of this matter! Have you investigated the situation of those craftsmen?"

Yang Xiaolin said: "We haven't investigated the specific situation of each person, but we have already found out where they live, and they often go out to drink and eat, so it is very easy to find out their situation."

Lin Yuan asked, "Where do they live?"

Yang Xiaolin said: "Yuan Yulin and his group live in the governor's office in Shaanxi. There is an inn run by the government next to the governor's office. It's called Longmen Hotel. It was originally for the poor students who came to take the provincial examination. It means carp leaping over the dragon's gate , but because of the war some time ago, the township examination was interrupted for a while, so the Longmen hall was empty, and those craftsmen lived in the Longmen hall."

Lin Yuan said: "If you know your enemy and your friend, you will never end in a hundred battles. The first thing we need to do is to understand the situation of these craftsmen. It's getting late today, and we will go to the Longmen Museum early tomorrow morning."

Early the next morning, Lin Yuan and Yang Xiaolin came out and walked towards the Longmen Pavilion. The road was quite busy, and the transactions were all in Renminbi issued by Lin Yuan Bank. At a crossroad, Yang Xiaolin pointed to the side with his hand and said with a smile : "Turning this corner, the recruiting hall is in front of you."

As soon as Lin Yuan turned the corner, he saw a long queue lined up on the street in front of him. The people in the line were either sitting or standing. What is the long line for?"

Yang Xiaolin said: "I'll ask, you wait for a while." So Yang Xiaolin walked to the middle of the line, wanting to ask someone to ask, just approached the line, before he could speak, he heard a loud Chinese shouting in a bad tone: " Boy, do you want to jump in line? Go to the back!"

Yang Xiaolin was taken aback, and hurriedly laughed: "I don't want to jump in line, I just want to ask, what are you doing here in line?"

The big man snorted coldly, and said disdainfully: "What are you asking! Does it have anything to do with you?"

Yang Xiaolin was turned away, but he didn't get angry. He asked someone else to ask, so he walked to the front of the line. At this moment, he heard an old man behind him say, "Why are you making things difficult for him?"

Yang Xiaolin turned around and saw an old man talking to the big man. The old man seemed to be the elder of the big man. The big man listened to the old man's words and bowed his head in silence. What are you going to do?"

The old man cupped his hands and said with a smile: "My lord, you are welcome, we are waiting in line here to receive our salary."

Yang Xiaolin said: "It turns out that's the case. I don't know how much to give?"

The old man replied: "Five yuan per person."

Yang Xiaolin nodded his thanks, at this time the old man said with a smile: "My nephew has a bad temper, he just offended you, don't take offense."

Yang Xiaolin smiled and said, "It's all right."

At this time, I heard the big man say: "If you want to blame, you have to blame the people in the yamen. It is said that the salary is eight o'clock, but now you see," he said, pointing to the big clock hanging by his side, and said: "It's already eight o'clock. It's forty o'clock! The payers haven't come yet!"

At this moment, I saw the line in front of me move slowly, and everyone who was sitting stood up, and the big man hurriedly said: "Stop talking, stop talking, I have to pay my salary."

Yang Xiaolin nodded his thanks, returned to Lin Yuan, and said, "They are all craftsmen, waiting to be paid."

Lin Yuan nodded and said, "Looking at the anxious looks of this group of people, now is not a good time to inquire about news. Let's sit at the nearby breakfast shop for a while and see what's going on."

So Lin Yuan and Yang Xiaolin sat down at the breakfast shop on one side, the breakfast time had passed, and no one came to greet Lin Yuan, Lin Yuan didn't care, and asked Yang Xiaolin, "I think there seems to be a conflict just now? "

Yang Xiaolin said with a smile: "It's not a conflict. A big man was in a bad mood because he was late for paying his salary by more than 40 minutes. He regarded me as someone who was about to jump in the queue and said a few hard words to me."

Lin Yuan smiled inwardly: "It seems that it is the same in every era. In my era, it is good to start at 08:30 for anything that starts at [-] o'clock." Lin Yuan was thinking about it when he suddenly saw the The two walked from the end of the line to the front, and then stopped at the place where the salary was paid. The person inside handed out a bulging envelope, and the two walked along the line with it.

Lin Yuan knew the price level of this era, and things were usually sold on the basis of "points", so their envelopes should contain small change, which is why they were so aggressive, but what he didn't expect was that these two people not only He blatantly jumped in line, went to the front of the line, took his salary in front of everyone, took his salary but didn't sneak away, and walked away swaggeringly in front of everyone!What's even more strange is that no one in the team dared to speak out, even the big man who had just scolded Yang Xiaolin shut up, as if it was only natural for them to do so!

Lin Yuan felt strange, and said to Yang Xiaolin, "Let's go to the front and have a look." When he got to the front of the line, he found that there were actually two windows where the salary was paid. Lin Yuan was very surprised, but there was an old man next to him who received his salary. Lin Yuan called him down with a smile, and asked, "Why is no one at this window receiving a salary?"

The old man said with a look of panic: "That window is dedicated to paying salaries to the gentlemen of the Rent Collection Bureau. Their salaries are higher than ours. Ours is five yuan, and theirs is 50 yuan."

Lin Yuan was even more puzzled, and took the old man to a nearby tea shed, and asked, "What is a rent reminder bureau?"

The old man said helplessly: "The rent collection bureau is for rent collection. The landlord rents the land to the peasants. When it comes time to harvest grain and collect rent, the landlord's family is small, so how can they collect rent door-to-door? So there are reminders." Rent bureaus, they collect rent for the landlords, this group of people is nothing! For example, if the rent is a stone of grain, they insist on charging one stone and two buckets, and keep the extra two buckets for themselves.”

"If a family suffers from a disaster and cannot pay the rent, they will find ways to torture them for fun, such as 'bocce ball', 'exhausted cow' and other torture tricks are all figured out by them!"

Lin Yuan asked: "What are 'ground ball' and 'tired cow'?"
