Officials from all levels of military and government yamen, schools and dispatched offices are now feeling the situation is in danger. Under the severe and heavy pressure of the Sichuan Governor's Office, they finally launched a vigorous and decisive comprehensive suppression action at an unprecedented speed and strength, and finally achieved immediate results.
At dawn the next day, nearly a hundred teams of yamen runners sent by various yamen walked into various streets and alleys, ringed gongs, and read out loudly various announcements from the Chengdu government office and the Admiral's Office. Countless people soon learned that the General Office of the Arsenal and the Council Office were arrested and interrogated, and the workers' complaints were properly resolved.
Immediately afterwards, the news of the arrest of dozens of "disturbing party members who instigated and deluded" was fully informed, and all public schools jointly issued a statement of abiding by the law and discipline. A riot that was about to affect the entire Chengdu Plain was quickly and effectively curbed.
The crisis is resolved, and Xiao Yiming doesn't need to worry about the rest of the matter.
From top to bottom, Sichuan officialdom has been an old man who has been ups and downs in the officialdom for many years. No one has experienced such a scary and large-scale civil unrest before. They are frightened and helpless. Now that the situation has calmed down, the intelligence of the bureaucrats has been shown, whether to beat or pull, protect or kill, things have become very simple. How to wipe your butt, how to summarize experience and lessons to prevent it before it happens, and no one has to worry about them at all.
The Army Crash School was the most stable in this riot. Although there were more than 30 students secretly joining the Tongmenghui, nothing happened with the efforts of Supervisor Xu Xiaogang and Military Affairs Chief Xiao Yiming.
The next morning, yesterday, the five young men were in high spirits and rushed out to mobilize the students who took to the streets. As soon as Xiao Yiming rode a horse to school, he immediately found Xu Xiaogang and said that Xu Xiaogang had just written an announcement to expel the five students on the grounds that "you must not make a big noise and erase the achievements we worked hard yesterday."
Xu Xiaogang, who was in a sensible mind, thanked Xiao Yiming for reminding him and immediately pulled all the students to the 20-kilometer exercise area in the western suburbs on the grounds of "engaging in field training according to the teaching plan", and held a series of trainings such as camping and fortification construction.
Xiao Yiming did not follow him and returned to his territory and started to supervise the work.
Since the newly built courtyard covering a five-acre area uses a large number of reinforced concrete columns, beams and floor slabs, the construction standards are high and the time is long, Xiao Yiming had to keep the old house for the time being.
The six-meter-wide road in front of the old house has been completed, connected to the new and wide Zhenxing Road in the east, and the western section extends to the large pond. The total length has changed from the original 120 meters to 250 meters. All the land on both sides of the road belongs to Xiao Yiming's private ownership. The next step will be to build ten new-style courtyards covering an area of two to four acres. At that time, this road will become a dedicated road for Xiao Yiming and his brothers.
The new courtyard is built more than fifty meters behind the old house. It turns out that the towering camphor tree is located in the front yard of the new house. The hill bun on the north, which is 16 meters high and 70 meters in circumference, has become a landscape in the back yard: all the trees with a diameter of ten centimeters on the mountain bun are preserved, and a simple and elegant hexagonal pavilion is built on the top, and stone steps are connected to the upper and lower parts. After everything is built, arhat bamboo, wintersweet and peach trees will be moved in spring to embellish the beautification.
In the blink of an eye, the day passed again. The next morning, Xiao Yiming and Wu Sangang came out of the wide basement below the new yard, and heard from the servants who came to report to the Governor's office to look for him.
Xiao Yiming had no time to change his clothes, so he hurried back. Seeing the Governor's guard Guo Tiecheng sitting on a chair in the hall drinking tea, he hurried forward and shouted to the old man.
Guo Tiecheng made a few random jokes and told the story of the Governor's inspection of the arsenal. Seeing Xiao Yiming's face full of confusion, he whispered:
"Your sir said you have many ideas and asked you to go with you. How to rectify and calm the anger of thousands of workers are all things that must be faced."
Xiao Yiming immediately understood:
"So, the chief officers who were arrested were all arrested, and the section chiefs were not guaranteed?"
"The adults have not finally made up their minds... I think privately that if they are all taken over, the arsenal will probably not be able to relieve themselves in less than half a year, so it is very difficult for me to deal with it. I guess I will ask you for your opinion later. You will think carefully about how to answer along the way."
Guo Tiecheng is very righteous and takes good care of this little brother who is good at being a good person and doing things.
Xiao Yiming no longer delayed and quickly changed into a clean military uniform, took two guards and followed him.
After passing through the still deserted street and entering the Governor's Office, the Governor happened to walk out of the court. When he saw Xiao Yiming, he said, "Follow my sedan chair", got into the sedan chair, surrounded by a team of guards and dozens of relevant civil and military officials, he drove to the arsenal in the southeast corner.
Zhong Ying's guard was still guarding the periphery of the arsenal. When he saw the arrival of the Governor's team, he saluted in a hurry, and led the team into the gate. He stopped in front of the tallest houses in the arsenal. More than a dozen middle and lower-level officials in the factory had already knelt in a row to greet him.
After Zhao Erxun got out of the sedan chair, he only said "leading the way forward". A group of officials immediately became in a hurry and got up and bent down to lead the way.
Xiao Yiming and Guo Tiecheng walked side by side behind Zhao Erxun, passing through workshops, warehouses and semi-finished products storage areas that had been shut down. Looking at the rusty machinery and equipment, I couldn't help but shake my head.
Zhao Erxun stopped in front of a German horizontal lathe more than four meters long and two meters high, and looked at the Governor's Office in charge of the arsenal with great anger.
The supervisor knelt down with a "pubo" sound, raised his hand and slapped himself in the face. After two slaps, his nose and mouth were covered with blood, and he still dared not stop.
Zhao Erxun was so angry that he trembled:
"Enough! Zhao Zhikang, you have disappointed me so much. From the premier Governor Xi to me, the amount of funds invested in the arsenal is as high as 400,000 or 500,000 yuan a year. But look, what has the arsenal you manage become? The person--"
"exist!"
"Push it down and send it to the inspection room for a good review!"
"yes!"
Two burly and tall guards rushed up and quickly carried Zhao Zhikang away like a chicken. Hundreds of officials around him were trembling and silent. The heavy breathing sound was as clear as a bellows.
Yuan Jinkai quietly advised Zhao Erxun: "Sir, please calm down, your health is important."
Zhao Erxun sighed, looking at the dusty machine tool, and after a while, he whispered: "Fei Ming."
"I'm in a humble position!" Xiao Yiming hurriedly stepped forward.
Zhao Erxun asked hopefully: "You are proficient in foreign machines. In your opinion, can this factory still be saved?"
Xiao Yiming hesitated for a moment, according to fact:
"Bizhi is not an expert in this regard. However, based on the current situation, as long as we work hard, we should be able to save it! According to Beizhi, our factory was able to successfully imitate Krupp's seventy-five guns four years ago and successfully produce flowering bullets and mother bullets. Two years ago, our factory successfully imitated the German Mauser 98 long rifle. Although there are many problems, it is already quite good to do this without drawings and guidance from foreigners. It proves that the officials and technical backbones of our factory have put in their efforts...
"From now on, if our factory can re-enforce discipline, standardize the charter, formulate plans, and implement them steadily, and then invite foreign technicians who are proficient in mechanical equipment to repair and maintain all the equipment at once, the factory may be able to restore the old view."
When the officials heard that Xiao Yiming had so cleverly excused officials at all levels in the arsenal, they immediately felt a great impression of him.
Everyone is a man who is in the officialdom, who can guarantee that he has no mistakes? Not long after entering the officialdom, Xiao Yiming, who was still a small army, has no relationship with officials at all levels of the arsenal, but he is kind-hearted and takes care of him quietly. Not only are officials at all levels of the arsenal grateful to him, but other officials also secretly admire him.
Sure enough, the Governor looked much better. He walked to the admiral and the vassal platform. The three old masters gathered together and whispered a few words, just one or two words and a few eyes. The Admiral stood up, cleared his throat, and announced loudly:
"Xiao Yiming, the Governor's Office, is young and proficient in the law. He is now appointed as the prosecutor of corruption and dereliction of duty in the arsenal and also serves as the arsenal. He is committed to verifying and collecting evidence and resume work as soon as possible. All relevant yamen must work together and not make any mistakes!"
Xiao Yiming was shocked, but the officials breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the Governor's board was raised high and gently put down. Otherwise, how could Xiao Yiming, who sympathized with the dereliction of duty, suddenly appointed Xiao Yiming, who sympathized with the dereliction of duty, be fully responsible for the investigation of the case? This is not just as simple as promoting trust!
"Okay, I've looked at it, let's go back and think about it."
Zhao Erxun hummed, shook his sleeves and lifted his legs and left.
