Then he walked out of the city gate wearing a high head in Tsing Yi cloth, got an old servant outside the door, got ready for an ox cart to go out to Guidemen, and slowly disappeared into the crowd in Xiaoshi Street.
"Is it printed?"
All the county magistrate’s actions were monitored by Zhu Jinglun, and Zhou Shijun’s actions were reported to Zhu Jinglun at the first time. Zhu Jinglun couldn’t help feeling a little funny. Zhou Shijun hung his big seal in the city gate hole, which means that abandoning the official means dissatisfaction with the level means resistance.
Liu Bei hung up the seal and beat up the class and sent it to Du You for a meal. Now Zhou Shijun also hangs up the seal and abandons the official, but he always feels a little neither fish nor fowl.
"It’s still the literati’s bad habits!"
Don’t dare to come out and resist, but show your awe-inspiring justice. There is no good way except to hang a seal in the downtown area. It’s still the same thing. If you are poor, you will be immune to it. Isn’t it a good thing to say that you will come out in the prosperous times and hurry to save yourself in troubled times? If you are a typical scholar, you will not have the courage and courage to turn the tide when the summer is about to fall.
Historical scholars hid in the mountains when the troubled times came, boasting that the hermit country was stable, and then they were invited by the politicians to whitewash the so-called rural legacy.
In Zhu Jinglun’s view, these civilian officials, Zhou Shijun, are more like spoiled young masters who lose their temper and anger, regardless of a kind of appearance. If they really want their emperor to be loyal, they should try their best to fight with Zhu Jinglun. People like Lu Xiufu and Wen Tianxiang deserve to be men of courage.
However, Zhu Jinglun believes that their actions will definitely go into history to praise their integrity, but in fact, what they did was an irresponsible practice. The scholar-bureaucrat class failed to take responsibility for thousands of years in ancient times, but they will be praised by generations of history because they wrote history.
They refuse to choose to hang and print, which has no practical significance. They will praise them for their elegance, but they won’t say that abandoning their official position is tantamount to handing over their strength. They have always believed that they are not afraid of being strong, but the fact is that they are not as knowledgeable as they are, and they can be beheaded after this negative confrontation is completed.
They didn’t dare to use the knife to describe it as elegant, but they were not responsible for it. It was said that the history of leading an honest and clean life has influenced everyone’s world outlook from generation to generation. Zhou Shijun is already a good official, but it is still conceivable that the China scholar-bureaucrat class has fallen to a certain level
Zhu Jinglun received other information the day after Zhou Shijun was printed.
The civil servants’ bodies in fourteen counties in Guangzhou caused a sensation when they abandoned their officials in a busy day.
See Fangshan worry sample Zhu Jinglun instead to comfort him.
"It’s just hanging seals. If they have the guts to hang in front of the county government, it can get me into some trouble. Now? Nothing."
Then he said, "Write a life to find the richest local businessman and let them come out as county magistrate."
Fangshan frowned. "Merchants?"
Zhu Jinglun nodded. "Yes, it’s time to let them go ahead."
For the first time, the unprecedented situation of businessmen being officials in fourteen counties has put businessmen at the forefront of politics. For the first time, they have the power and they should bear the corresponding responsibilities.
"Notice fourteen counties in addition to the next year’s land and grain!"
Commercial tax replaces agricultural tax, which is the responsibility of businessmen. Responsibility is always a combination of responsibility and non-responsibility, which is the law of social contract.
Section three hundred and fifty disadvantages of sea conditions
Looking for a businessman to be an official, they dare not push and shove one by one. They don’t hesitate to take money to dredge one by one. It’s really a bitch. Zhe saved his life and gave them strength at this point. They even dare not deserve it. They have been oppressed by the civilian corps for thousands of years. It’s not without reason that Wu Bingjian kowtowed to officials at all levels in Guangzhou. They are even less responsible than civilian officials.
No one doesn’t want to be an official, because they don’t want to take risks. Now accepting Zhu Jinglun’s life is tantamount to joining Zhu Jinglun’s faction and being involved in Zhu Jinglun’s struggle with the imperial court. They are afraid that in this general trend, they will get burned and eventually crash and burn.
However, Zhu Jinglun’s order will not waver. It is based on the principle that whoever has money will be an official. At this time, there is no time to distinguish between who is good and who is capable. Since they can earn amazing wealth in the local area, their business ability is beyond doubt. Zhu Jinglun forced them not to embezzle a penny of public money during the official period, otherwise the property owners believe that these very rich guys will not be desperate for money.
There is no doubt that they will definitely do so because they have no less power in the process of wealth accumulation. However, in the past, rent-seeking was to bribe officials in exchange for power, but now they have mastered it directly. How can they not play with power when they are powerless? Now it is more convenient to enjoy power directly.
This level of corruption Zhu Jinglun can endure anti-corruption for the time being, and he is not in a hurry. This is a deep-rooted culture that has to be resolved step by step. The United States barely fought crazy corruption before World War II, and there is no need to blame it in a country where corruption culture has prevailed for thousands of years, trying to eradicate it overnight.
These businessmen are forced to be eager for strength and afraid of danger, and they are almost in a painful and happy mood
Hurd is also a businessman. In the past, Hengqi was in power in Guangdong, and the people in Guangzhou didn’t care much about one foreigner and one foreigner. They saw more of Guangzhou for ten years, and they never saw foreigners saying that foreigners were not allowed to enter the city since their grandfather’s time. That is to say, foreigners were allowed to visit the city on the day of vacation, even in Qianlong. The so-called vacation is foreigners’ Sunday, but one day they can’t stay and live. Usually foreigners live in the foreign-funded area of the city, which is thirteen lines.
Women are not allowed to enter Guangzhou, even if it is 13 lines outside the city. In 13 years, the British East India Company’s large class hoped to take their wives to the business hall in a sedan chair despite the Qing court’s ban. Western women wore clothes, hair ornaments, and bare feet. They shook hands with men at will, which was recognized as damaging the local weathering and damaging the ethics of China, and even led to the joint performance of General Guangzhou, Governor of Guangdong and Guangdong, and Governor of Guangdong, which violated the Chinese system.
The Guangzhou government immediately ordered the expulsion of Mrs. Pan Shi, who summoned more than 100 armed sailors from the British ship moored in Huangpu to land in the Guangzhou Commercial Pavilion with guns. The Guangzhou government threatened to send troops to expel the incident, which made China and Britain tense. If it were not for the last time that Mrs. Pan Shi was sent to Macau, the Opium War would have started ten years ago.
After the first Opium War, foreigners gained the power to enter the city through treaties, but the common people refused to allow foreigners to enter the city, and throwing stones was life-threatening. It was not until the second Opium War that the British and French allied forces occupied Guangzhou that the common people in Guangzhou made their first large-scale contact with foreigners.
This cultural closure naturally broke the period of foreigners’ occupation of Guangzhou through communication. Although there were still conflicts, most people who had contacted foreigners didn’t think that foreigners were special. Most of them were not friendly. Even soldiers bought watermelons, but they also gave money. Although looting happened, they were no different from the Qing army, and they gradually got used to it.
Nowadays, it is not uncommon for foreigners to go in and out of Guangzhou. Hurd’s entry into the city did not cause much disturbance, that is, some streets and lanes criticized it. Neighbors on both sides felt that it was very unpleasant to live next to foreigners, just as the white American community moved as a whole after living in black people, and the Cantonese government also saw the situation of ordinary people selling houses
Hurd is also dissatisfied with his discrimination against these China people who don’t take a bath for ten days and a half months, but he is even more dissatisfied with Zhu Jinglun’s handling of Xin’ an’s move to Guangzhou. He will meet Zhu Jinglun at the first time, and he will negotiate with Zhu Jinglun.
When he walked through the Guide Gate, he also saw a big seal hanging in the hole of the city gate and posted on the side of the city gate. The people were busy watching it, pointing and laughing, and no one dared to tear it. Zhang said that Zhu Jinglun had died and died, and his grace bullied the people. He also called on the warriors to see Zhu Jinglun’s head, and the court would not hesitate to raise him.
Hurd saw that Zhu Jinglun not only didn’t send someone to tear up the notice, but sent several soldiers to protect it against damage.
Hurd is going to the general office in Guangzhou, and Zhu Jinglun now lives in the office with the general in Guangzhou because he will not let Mukden get out of his control.
Mukden’s performance during this period was fairly obedient, especially after hearing that Beijing Yixin launched a coup to get rid of Su Shun and others, he was very obedient to Zhu Jinglun. He believed that Zhu Jinglun had won on behalf of Yixin’s party, which made him more satisfied. Yixin didn’t become an emperor himself, but continued to support Xianfeng’s being an emperor. So it seems that Yixin is not a disorderly party, but he is protecting the banner rather than wanting to be an emperor himself.
Yi Xin stabilizes the overall situation of Guangdong Zhu Jinglun, which is naturally a promising prospect. In Mukden’s view, a Guangzhou magistrate can’t run away, although he can’t compete with him as a general, but people will rise again in the future, at least relying on Yi Xin, the minister of Guangdong and Guangxi, is just around the corner
Mukden decided that even if Yixin didn’t become the emperor, he still kept the Tongzhi emperor, but it was absolutely the same as when Dourgen kept Shunzhi. If Yixin lived for one day, Zhu Jinglun could be presumptuous for one day.
During this period, some civil servants kept complaining to Mukden that he was confused by Zhu Jinglun. At such a time, Mukden automatically ignored him. He took the initiative to find Zhu Jinglun once and admitted that some of the civil servants must be elderly or Su Shun henchmen hoped Zhu Jinglun would get rid of those people. But Zhu Jinglun generously said that just a few literati had now decided the overall situation and let the emperor decide.
Zhu Jinglun’s generosity was understood by Mukden as magnanimous. Moreover, Zhu Jinglun was not suspected of disorderly ordering officials to talk to foreigners privately. But he heard that Yixin was closer to foreigners and that foreigners wanted to support Yixin’s administration.
So he took it for granted that Zhu Jinglun was ordered by Yixin, otherwise how could a person like Zhu Jinglun give foreigners a good face? Mukden still remembers that Zhu Jinglun kidnapped the foreigner leader Parkes, that Zhu Jinglun risked his life to ignite gunpowder and killed the commander of the Anglo-French Coalition forces in Polo Temple, that Zhu Jinglun helped recover Guangzhou, that Zhu Jinglun linked the countryside in Xin ‘an and risked his life to protect the land. Today, foreigners didn’t cut off the Kowloon Division. This is all Zhu Jinglun’s credit. Mukden understands that Zhu Jinglun has done so many things against foreigners and it is impossible to unite with foreigners.
So he turned a blind eye to lobbying his civil servants one by one, and he didn’t want to be associated with these pedantic civil servants. Although Zhu Jinglun expressed magnanimity, he didn’t think Yixin wouldn’t clean up these people. Besides, even if Zhu Jinglun really rebelled, why didn’t he have a soldier in his hand, even the flag soldiers, go to Zhu Jinglun to get paid, and let him fight with Zhu Jinglun with both fists and four hands? Let him fight Zhu Jinglun’s guns with his bare hands? Mukden Nagan wouldn’t consider such a thing.
Hurd went to the general’s office. He met Zhu Jinglun and expressed his dissatisfaction.
As a result, Zhu Jinglun was more dissatisfied than he was.
"What’s the matter with China people? China people are not your management staff? Don’t forget that you are also a government employee! "
Zhu Jinglun has long been dissatisfied with Hurd’s practice.
At the beginning, he agreed with Hurd to increase Hurd’s force conditions and redefine the sea management mode, that is, the proportion of China people and foreigners’ employees should be less than 70%, and foreigners can reach up to 30%. Hurd and Zhu Jinglun are both very profitable, so they re-signed the entrustment agreement.
After Hurd, the number of employees of foreigners in the sea has been greatly reduced, and the number of China people has been greatly increased. However, he has taken an ingenious method to divide foreign classes in the sea. Foreigners are mainly managers, while China people are mostly foreign classes and bottom-level employees.
Although Hurd preached the high salary system and thought that it was better to hire a group of people with low salary than to hire talents with high salary, the salary gap between Chinese and foreigners was quite large because of their different status.
The tax department for foreigners in the class has risen from 3 Liang to 9 Liang per person per year; The deputy tax department has increased from 24 taels to 3 taels per person per year; The first-class deputy is promoted from 24 to 3 Liang per person per year; Second-class deputies are promoted from 15 taels to 21 taels per person per year; Third-class deputies are promoted from 9 Liang to 12 Liang per person every year.
The highest super-class assessment of Chinese in foreign classes is 24 Liang per person per year; First-class inspection estimates 1 Liang per person per year; Second-class inspection and evaluation; 12 Liang per person per year; Super-class inspection is 12 Liang per person per year; First-class inspection is 1 Liang per person per year; Second-class inspection is 96 Liang per person per year; Super bell player 44 Liang per person per year; The first bell player is 72 taels per person per year; Second-class bell players are 6 taels per person per year.
But even at the top of the foreign class, it is still foreigners who invite a large number of Chinese who know English from Hong Kong.
The minimum annual salary of these generalists is two; You can only get an annual salary of two if you enter the deputy general level; When reaching the general level, the annual salary is two
Such a high salary stimulates the enthusiasm of the staff, improves their work efficiency and urges them to work for a long time and continuously, so they get extra bonuses.
Especially for China people with low salaries, a few hundred and two years’ salary is enough for those small businessmen engaged in foreign trade to give up their careers in exchange for a relatively stable long-term income. It can be said that Hurd can almost recruit the talents he wants.
Zhu Jinglun doesn’t care about Hurd’s salary, but he is very concerned about this kind of differential treatment. In the short term, he can’t see anything, but in the long run, it will create such a psychological consciousness in the sea that Chinese people are inferior to foreigners, and these Chinese talents are talents that Zhu Jinglun can rely on. Zhu Jinglun insists that Hurd hire Chinese people in order to let Hurd help them cultivate talents instead of letting Hurd destroy their psychology and undermine their national confidence.
Then he took out a piece of blood-white cloth and put it on the side of the people entering and leaving the city gate, recounting Zhu Jinglun’s evidence. A good essay described Zhu Jinglun as an unforgivable rebel.
