"The so-called revolution is not a foreign word, nor a modern word. It has a long history, so I won't go into details. In the modern sense, revolution is a profound qualitative change that occurs in the development process of nature, society or thought.
——Everything we did when we came to Guangzhou was revolution."
Zhang Yunmi was overwhelmed by the large number of words and nodded involuntarily.
"Revolution is a very complex social movement, full of a lot of derogation of power, emergency and slow measures, and even a lot of iterations and even mistakes. In the final analysis, governing a city or a country is not about treating guests to dinner or making a fuss. No matter what
Everything must be viewed from the realistic perspective of social environment and self-ability.”
Zhang Yunmi looked at him half-understanding, which made Liu Xiang even more proud.
"We have two purposes in rectifying the custom industry. One is indeed out of financial considerations. Through governance and rectification, we can seize this huge gray financial source that is outside the mainstream of society and make it "clarified"; the second is indeed
It is to 'liberate women'." Liu Xiang said, "These two purposes are somewhat self-contradictory when put together, but they are connected."
The issue of women's liberation is not a decision made by Liu Xiang because he was influenced by Du Wen. In Liu Xiang's view, women's liberation means the liberation of the labor force, and women's liberation will inevitably accelerate the collapse of traditional patriarchal society. These two
Each of these is extremely beneficial to the Australian and Song Dynasty regimes and must be pursued with all efforts. However, women's liberation must be carried out step by step - this is not only because of the great resistance caused by social habits, but also because the new regime in Guangzhou currently lacks cadres.
Especially women cadres. So he can only start by rectifying customs and industries.
"Is it because the rectification of custom industries has encountered the least resistance in traditional society, but the benefits have been particularly large?" Zhang Yunmi said.
Liu Xiang nodded, children can be taught!
"That's right. Even in traditional society, the mainstream moral concepts have a negative view of pornography. Don't look at the extremely corrupt social atmosphere in the late Ming Dynasty. The Eight Beauties of Qinhuai even became famous among scholars. They seemed to be very open, but
.On the entire social and moral level, **** has always been a gray business."
Therefore, the Senate has the reputation of "righteousness" on the entire social level to ban and rectify the prostitution industry. The middle and upper classes of society will never jump out and openly oppose it, otherwise they will directly destroy themselves.
Smelly.
"Although the custom industry is looked down upon by people, the profits in it are very considerable, and it has been a piece of fat since ancient times." Liu Xiang said, "So all custom industries need some kind of protection: you see, in the old time and space
Most young ladies have a so-called 'boyfriend'. This boyfriend is actually a disguised 'bodyguard'. When it comes to a commercial organization like a brothel, the problem is not something that one or two thugs can solve.
It can be endured. This backer must have both black ones - local evil forces, and white ones - Baojia, officials and gentry.
"Even if there is a backer, there is no guarantee that the brothel owner will be safe, because the business he is engaged in is itself a sinful business, which must involve 'forcing girls into prostitution', 'lynching and torture', 'trading people', 'forcing people to die' and many other illegal activities
——Even in feudal society, it was illegal, so the protection they needed was even stronger. From a certain point of view, their environment was more sinister than ordinary traders. They were "gods" who were "received by incense"
The more you have, the bigger your appetite will be. Once you fail, anyone can give you eye drops. Therefore, the profit transmission channels behind a brothel industry are very complicated."
Zhang Yunmi didn't seem to understand, so he had no choice but to nod.
"If we want to get rid of all the 'gods' in Guangzhou, we have to cut off their financial resources. Not only must they be cut off, but this wealth must also be used by me - otherwise we will not be able to afford the funds required for such a social transformation.
In addition, brothels are often natural sanctuaries and hiding places for various criminals, so we must take down this area that is hardest hit by social governance first."
These words were not sincere, and it took a lot of effort to finish the words. Liu Xiang's forehead was already sweating. But judging from the effect, it seemed that he had frightened the girl in front of him.
"It seems that administrative work is really not simple. Decision-making is so complicated!"
"That's right." Liu Xiang said, "In decision-making, we must not only consider the goal, but also consider our own capabilities and positioning. Even if the goal is short-term, mid-term or long-term, we must consider it." He almost couldn't go on at this point, so he hurriedly
Keep your head down and continue working on the files.
After reading more than half of the official documents on the table, Liu Xiang found that Zhang Yunmi's work was getting better and better. Not only was the summary written more concise and to the point, but he could also classify the official documents according to the different contents and arrange them sequentially, which provided Liu Xiang with a better understanding of his work.
The reading work has created better conditions. At present, the main content of the official documents is still no more than the third one: showing merit, complaining, and asking for resources. After Liang Xinhu and the court system team joined in, the power department can finally be fully self-consistent.
, so the work efficiency has improved a lot recently. The beggars who have the strongest reaction from the merchants have been greatly curbed after the police strengthened daily patrols and several public trials. The matter of setting up a "petition police" has been
Through the wind at the General Chamber of Commerce and Industry, large merchants and guilds in the capital showed great interest; the attack on several arrested leaders in the Chaoshan guild hall and the interrogation of the former Yamen officers in custody enabled the police system to grasp more information
Information: The entangled chain between various guilds and the underworld in Guangzhou has been fully exposed. Mu Min is very interested in launching a larger-scale "cracking down on gangs and eradicating evil" operations. Many of today's official documents are these
The system expresses merit and prompts further action.
The ones complaining mainly are those who go to work in the countryside: the situation in the countryside is very complicated. Although the army can easily collect reasonable burdens wherever it goes, and it can handle food and errands smoothly, the staff are completely unable to "settle down".
"Go down." Except for those villages and towns that were purged in the Battle of Pearl River Estuary, the remaining villages and towns are extremely tightly controlled by local forces, and most of the local forces here are clan forces with extremely strong cohesion. Common methods of differentiation and disintegration
It was almost useless. The social survey by the staff was almost impossible to complete, and even the household registration was very difficult. The village elders could only say what they said.
The public security situation between villages and towns is poor, and a large number of small groups of bandits have emerged. The National Army can currently only control county towns, large towns and transportation hubs. It only has "point lines" and cannot control transportation between more remote villages and towns.
It is difficult to ensure safety without armed escort. The circulation of people and goods has been stagnant. Many special products are difficult to export and food cannot be transported in. In some places, food shortages have begun to occur and food prices have risen. There are many rumors in the countryside, and people are unstable.
...The working group believes that there is an urgent need to "catch typical examples", use violent means to clean up banditry, and at the same time "kill chickens to scare monkeys" from local forces - the team member who wrote the report pointed out that almost all bandits are in collusion with local forces.
While Liu Xiang was reading, he drafted the work content in his notebook: sending cooperatives to the countryside as soon as possible to purchase goods, transporting grain, and stabilizing the market; how to further coordinate the National Army's anti-bandit work; the recruitment and rectification of rural regiment and company armed forces...
At this moment, there was a "dong" sound, and the office door was pushed open - after all, he and the little girl were alone in the same room, and Liu Xiang couldn't lock the door - generally speaking, no one would seek death and break into Liu's mansion directly.
door, but this "general" does not include another elder. As soon as Liu Xiang raised his eyes, Zhang Yunmi turned back and stared at the person at the door almost at the same time.
Here comes a rare visitor: Tintin. After the reorganization of the upper class, there were suddenly more unfavorable rumors about Tintin among the senators. It is said that some rumors were circulated at the maids' tea party and slowly penetrated into the senatorial class. Of course, this phenomenon has been criticized.
The new government paid attention to it and took a number of measures, asking all the senators to "not play tricks like pillow fights." At this time, some of his wife Penny's remarks suddenly began to circulate secretly, causing many senators to express their anger.
Dissatisfied with being directly targeted, Ding Ding did not want to continue to stay in Lingao and attract attention, so he sent a telegram and came to Guangzhou to "supervise and guide the propaganda work of the Guangzhou Liberated Area". In fact, his main job was to prepare the "Yangcheng Express"
.
When Ding Ding broke in and saw Liu Xiang and Zhang Yunmi, he was startled for a moment, then he looked excited about discovering the big news, then he looked disappointed that he hadn't caught anything useful, and finally turned into some kind of jealousy.
In just a moment, his expression had gone full circle. Liu Xiang also knew that many of the dozens of elders in Guangzhou were discussing his "wanting to eat young grass" in private, but Liu Xiang did not
Concerned, he put down the official document in his hand, stood up and went to greet him.
"Minister Ding is a rare visitor!" Liu Xiang stretched out his left hand to shake Ding Ding's hand - Ding Ding held some documents under his right arm, and it was obviously inconvenient to stretch out his right hand. "We are all ears to hear any instructions from the minister!"
Being overtaken by Liu Xiang, and Zhang Yunmi was present, Ding Ding had no choice but to follow Liu Xiang's pull and sit on the guest sofa first. "How dare you give instructions to Mr. Liu! Xiao Qiu from the Publicity Department was sent here by my choice.
You are a capable person. You don’t approve or comment on the publicity plan made by the department, and you are still stuck in the department and don’t allow the mobilization of publicity materials. Old Liu, is it Xiaoqiu or our Propaganda Department who has offended you? Just give me a warm word!"
After saying angrily, Ding Ding put the documents he brought on the coffee table next to the guest sofa and pushed them in front of Liu Xiang: "I know you are not interested in the situation and the person. I will watch them and make this plan again. You first
Take a look and tell me what you think first!" (To be continued.)
