What lawyer? The one who walked over called me Fa, now I call you lawyer."
"Just be a lawyer, I want to litigate."
"A lawsuit? A lawsuit requires money. Do you have money?" A lady took out a handkerchief and carefully untied it. There were two ocean dollars and some scattered coins inside.
The lawyer laughed when he saw it: "This money is not enough."
"Please help me, this is all I can do. I beg you, please, if you don't help me, my house will be gone." The old lady almost begged.
"Tell me, who are you going to litigate with?"
"Even the yamen in charge of railway repairs, I really can't tell you what it's called."
"Building railways? Is it?" The lawyer suddenly became interested: "Ministry of Transportation?"
"Yes, I'm afraid that's the name?"
"Old lady, the teacher asked the old lady to sit down enthusiastically: "Tell me, why do you want to sue the Ministry of Transportation?"
The old lady said everything, and the lawyer listened carefully and kept taking notes. When the old lady finished speaking, he frowned and thought for a while, and suddenly said: "Okay, we will give the Ministry of Communications to
Sue!"
"Litigation..." Lawyer, are you willing to help me? "Help, of course, why not help?" The lawyer said with a smile: "Old lady, I will help you settle this lawsuit. Remember, I am a barrister Xie
Yanyuan, this time I will help you litigate for free!"
"Thank you. Thank you, good man, good man."
"The strength of our army is overwhelming, and the main forces of Beiyang have gathered in Hunan to prepare for a decisive battle with me. Our reinforcements have arrived, with Liu Zhaocheng as the left wing and Zhang Xiaohuai's troops as the right wing, preparing for a decisive battle with the enemy!"
"Chief of Staff, thank you for your hard work. It's not that I care about the decisive battle, but you invited Zhang Xiaohuai here. This contribution is greater than anything else." Wang Hengyue smiled and asked Jiang Baili to sit down: "I have Liu Zhaocheng and Zhang Xiaohuai in charge of the Hunan battlefield.
, it’s worthy of Beiyang to drink a pot of it.
Jiang Baili shook his head and said with a smile: "Heng Shuai, you are planning to catch all the talents in the world!"
"I think so too. It would be great if we could catch all the talents in the world." Wang Hengyue personally poured a cup of tea for Jiang Baili.
Jiang Baili took the tea with a smile. This president was a majestic president in front of others, but in front of those closest to him, he looked like a "rogue".
If you want to help him get things done, he will greet you with a smile, but if you want to mess up the things, you will definitely have a cold face." The decisive battle in Hunan is the key to the victory of the Northern Expedition and is the most important thing.
"Wang Hengyue didn't care what Jiang Baili was thinking: "So recently I decided to tilt all my focus towards Hunan... At this time, he saw his chief minister Jiang Zhongzheng coming in and stopped talking: "What?"
thing?"
"There was a call from the General Headquarters of the Cavalry Corps. Li Houji from Xiamen may retreat without a fight and abandon Fujian.
"Okay, Fujian is ours. Yang Sen and Yang Jie have made great contributions!" Wang Hengyue said with great joy.
"There is one more thing." Jiang Zhongzheng hesitated for a moment: "Someone sued the Ministry of Communications."
"What? Say it again?" Wang Hengyue thought he heard wrongly.
"Someone has filed a lawsuit against the Ministry of Transport, and the Supreme Court of Guangdong Province has accepted the case."
Wang Hengyue and Jiang Baili looked at each other: "What's going on?"
Jiang Zhongzheng smiled bitterly: "The plaintiff is an old lady named Lu Jin. She has entrusted Xie Yanyuan, a famous barrister in Guangdong, to take full responsibility for suing our Ministry of Transportation to court. The court has not accepted the case for the time being. Let's consult the lawyers.
The President’s opinion. “This is really evil!
Wang Hengyue scratched his head and thought for a long time: "What are you suing for?"
"The thing is like this, when we were building the railway, we had to pass through a place called Qiheng Village. In that place, we have discussed with them the relocation according to the instructions of the President, provided them with new residences, and provided them with
They compensated, and the whole village agreed, except for this old lady named Zugejin, who refused to move even if she died."
Wang Hengyue nodded slightly as he listened: "Would it be enough to do more work and give her more compensation? Does this matter need to go to court?"
Suddenly his expression straightened: "Did someone threaten the old lady with violence?"
"I'm not sure about this. "Go and call the Chief of Transportation Zeng Kunhua!"
"yes!"
As soon as Jiang Zhongzheng left, Jiang Baili hurriedly said: "Hengshuai, we finally invited Zeng Jihua back. We lack talents in this field. He has only taken office not long ago. I'm afraid he is not clear about some things. You must be very careful."
Don't lose your temper."
"I know, I know." Wang Hengyue muttered.
As the chief of staff said, he had gone to great lengths to invite Zeng Kunhua, who was an expert on Chinese railways.
Zeng Kunhua was a native of Xinhua, Hunan. In 1903, he obtained the qualification of a government-funded student with outstanding performance and traveled east to Japan for further study. He initially intended to study the army, but after reading the Japanese book "The Case of the Division of the China Railway", he became interested in
, Japan took the railway as a new strategy to destroy China, which deeply stimulated the nation's sense of honor and disgrace and the sense of mission to revitalize China's railway industry, prompting him to change his studies to railways and get admitted to Japan's famous Si Tate Iwakura Railway at the time.
In 1906, Zeng Kun completed his studies and returned to China to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the China Railway. He traveled to fifteen provinces across the country for three months and wrote an inspection report, which was known as the "Bingwu Survey" in history. Previously, the China Railway
No bachelor has conducted such a survey, and no relevant government departments have made reports. The details of China's railways are rarely known. In the book "The Current Situation of China's Railways", Zeng Kunhua was the first to put forward a comprehensive and systematic
Management thought. He believes that "management rights are the lifeblood of the railway. If the power belongs to me, I will use it for others; if it belongs to others, I will use it for others." However, China's railways lack management. Foreigners control the management rights of various roads.
They embezzled public funds and trampled on China's sovereignty; at that time, most of the senior and middle-level railway personnel in China had professional backgrounds, and the lower-level employees were only fluent in writing.
〖China〗 Railway schools in China rarely set up management subjects, and there are only a few overseas students studying management majors. 25-year-old Zeng Kunhua was a member of the Postal and Communications Department at the time. Although his position was not high, he was outstanding in his studies.
Full of patriotic enthusiasm, he felt that the shortcomings of China's road administration were stuck in his throat, and he had to express it. So, he drafted a paper full of insights on management overnight, "A Book on the Establishment of a Railway Management School by the Ministry of Posts and Communications".
He made incisive and profound expositions on the theory and advocacy of the establishment of railway management schools, which played a vital role in the birth of China's railway management schools. Zeng Jihua can be called the initiator of the first management school in China.
.
Zeng Kunhua's petition in 1907 eventually led to the establishment of the Beijing Railway Management Institute, which later became Beijing Jiaotong University.
Wang Hengyue pointed at Zeng Kunhua and invited him here specifically to build a railway across the country. Who would have thought that something like this would happen to him not long after he took office.
After waiting there for a while, Zeng Kunhua hurriedly arrived. Jiang Zhongzheng had already told him the general situation on the phone. So when he saw Wang Hengyue, he said straight to the point: "President, when I came here just now, I asked the following,
This is indeed the case. The official responsible for the negotiation in Qiheng Village did it very smoothly at first, but when it came to the Lujin family, it got stuck. Later the official dropped a sentence, saying that you have to move whether you want to move or not.
Move, you are an illiterate old lady, it is useless to file a lawsuit to the sky. I also gave the old lady an order to move within a time limit, saying that otherwise the [police] will be used to lock her in a prison, the house
They all have to be demolished! "Damn it, who gave him this right? Who allowed him to say such a thing!" Wang Hengyue was furious: "I have repeatedly told you that anyone who offends the interests of the people will be punished by me! The Northern Expedition has not yet begun.
Success, for this little thing, you actually want to arrest someone and put him in jail? Do you want to demolish it? I will demolish the official’s house, let’s see if he is happy with it!”
Zeng Kunhua responded: "I was very angry after hearing this. I have ordered the official to be temporarily suspended from his duties and to launch an investigation."
Wang Hengyue then calmed down his anger slightly: "Before the Northern Expedition was successful, some people forgot about it. I will deal with it once this happens in the future. Whoever dares to swing a knife on the heads of ordinary people, I will chop him in the head with the knife."
In your head, you have just put on the official uniform for a few days, and you have forgotten your identity. Do you really think that you are a mighty emperor?"
There was a pause: "Director Zeng, now they have taken us to court, do you think there is any solution?"
"Yes!" Zeng Kunhua spread the map he carried with him on the table: "This railway must pass through Qiheng Village. There are two solutions. One is to increase the amount of compensation and strive to give enough concessions to the Jin family.
Agreed, this is the most appropriate and stable solution. There is also a detour, but it will cost about two million more than the previous budget."
"Two million, that's all money." Wang Hengyue seemed a little hesitant: "I think we should double the compensation to the old lady. If it doesn't work, we can triple or quadruple the compensation. It will save much more than taking a detour."
Zeng Kunhua smiled bitterly: "I heard that the old lady has a very stubborn temper. She has no other relatives and is not willing to interact with people in the village. It is useless to persuade anyone. We don't know the key now.
The inside story, why she refuses to move!"
"I'll go, but I don't believe it yet. I, the president, will go in person to put on a smile and say nice things to her. How can she not give me face? How can she be so strong?" Wang Hengyue said confidently.
Zeng Kunhua was stunned. The president went there in person? This is something unprecedented in the history of Kyrgyzstan. But from one perspective, this is also a good thing. It can let everyone know that the government will never threaten the people with their rights."
I'll find some casual clothes." Wang Hengyue took off his general marshal uniform and said with a smile: "Don't scare the old lady when you wear this!"!
