Li Quan clapped his hands nonchalantly: "Okay, okay, he's a good guy. But I really want to see if he won't admit to death as you said. Mr. Zhu, I'll leave this to you."

"Yes!" Zhu Teng replied in a low voice, and then violently pulled the whip in his hand.

Li Quan turned around and left without staying in the prison. Zhao Zhao's screams and curses came from behind him, all of which were automatically filtered by Li Quan.

"Master Zhang, do you think it is too cruel for me to do this?" Li Quan asked Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei shook his head in fear: "Hey! How can there be? What are the torture instruments in the prison used for? Isn't it used to deal with such thorns? The adults' actions are well-founded and in line with the rules. Reason, why are you so cruel?"

"That's good."

……

……

Bizhou prison is still some distance away from the magistrate's office.

When he returned to the Yamen, he saw that the gate of the Yamen was full of people.

The scene was a bit chaotic, and someone in the crowd seemed to be shouting something.

But when Li Quan came back, the common people chose to be quiet when they saw the official robe.

A yamen servant stepped forward and whispered in Li Quan's ear, "My lord, all the ferrymen have come and told us to let Zhao Zhao go."

Li Quan frowned: "There are so many boatmen in Bizhou?"

"No, there is only a part in the middle, and the rest are people who came to watch the fun. My lord, what shall we do now?"

Before Li Quan could think about it, the field started to become noisy again, and someone shouted:

"Let Zhao Zhao go, he is innocent! Why are you arresting him without evidence? Everyone, take a look! Our magistrate arrests people without evidence. This is a trick of torture! This Bizhou is still Is there any royal law?"

Someone in the middle echoed loudly: "Quickly release people! Quickly release people!"

But the people in the periphery looked suspicious, looked at the magistrate, and did not express their opinion.

Li Quan frowned, not because he thought the matter was difficult, but because the boatmen's behavior was extremely arrogant, far beyond Li Quan's imagination.I don't know if it was influenced by personal emotions, anyway, Li Quan didn't treat these boatmen as good citizens.

I thought it would be enough to deal with Zhao Zhao alone, but it seems that these ferrymen are also a cancer in Bizhou, and they have to be treated after this matter is over.

As for the boatman's so-called demands, Li Quan didn't take them seriously at all.He knew that it was obviously unrealistic to convict Zhao Zhao like this, and the reason why he was brought to the Yamen was just to give Zhao Zhao a loose bone.It's fine if he recruits, it doesn't matter if he doesn't recruit, the big deal is to let him go.

Since ancient times, the people did not fight with the officials. Even if Zhao Zhao had great ability to clear up all the evidence, if an official wants to deal with a commoner, there are countless ways to make his life worse than death.

So Li Quan seems to be very free and easy in the face of the current situation. Since they want to let him go, you can let him go.

Zhao Zhaoye is indeed a hard-headed person, and he insists on gnawing his teeth.

However, when he got out of the prison, he only had half his life left.Although he hates it, he also has self-knowledge and knows that he is not the opponent of the government.I just hope that after being beaten half to death this time, the magistrate can calm down and stop making trouble for me.

Obviously, this alone will not completely dispel Li Quan's anger.

Not long after Zhao Zhao left, Li Quan called everyone together to start a discussion, planning to punish the boatmen on the edge of the Bijiang River.

First of all, Zhao Zhao's criminal process can already be deduced.It must have been after the natural disaster, Zhao Zhao had no choice but to start a ferry life. Unexpectedly, the money earned from the ferry was much richer than before, and with some small skills, he formed gangs and recruited many younger brothers.So after resuming life in Bizhou, he did not return to his old business.However, the completion of the Qin Bridge was undoubtedly a major blow to the ferrymen. Zhao Zhao cut off the bridge cruelly, causing chaos and making the people feel that walking on the bridge was not safe, so they chose to ferry across the river.

Secondly, because of the existence of Zhao Zhao, all the boatmen were tied together to form a monopoly, controlling the ferry price to make huge profits.If you want to cross the river, you must pay a high fee. Such a sick economy obviously cannot allow it to exist.

The key is because these boatmen directly affect Li Quan's development plan for the south of the city.

Therefore, these unscrupulous people must be treated with injections.

Chapter 375: Important decision

"In order to make it easier for the people of Bizhou to travel between the north and the south, the imperial court specially recruited [-] boatmen to ferry the people across the Bijiang River. Three liang of silver per month will enjoy the imperial salary. Those who are capable, please register with the county government within two days."

Overnight, such notices were plastered everywhere in Bizhou City.All the people knew the news.

The people are very strange. They have heard that the imperial court recruited Yamen servants and grooms... This is the first time they have heard of recruiting boatmen, and they recruited 30 people in one move!

Although the salary of three taels of silver per month is not much, it is definitely not much.There are many poor people in Bizhou, and there are many boatmen among the poor. After receiving such news, many people went to sign up.

Li Quan's idea is very simple. The business of ferrying can be turned into a state-owned enterprise. There is no extra 100 taels of expenses. It will make the ferry in Bizhou more standardized, break the current monopoly of boatmen, and make the city more harmonious. This is absolutely cost-effective. buy and sell.

After investigation, the price of the Bizhou ferry has risen from five yuan to thirty yuan.Li Quan was taken aback by this price.

If this momentum continues, people who originally wanted to go to the south of the city, who would want to go after hearing the price?It directly affects the popularity of Chengnan, and even affects Li Quan's grand blueprint.

If you want to break the situation of sitting on the ground and starting the price, the best way is to leave the price to the court to decide.As for how much, of course, it is necessary to consider the enthusiasm of the people to go to the south of the city.

Ever since, the ferrymen arranged by the court became volunteers, ferrying people for free and enjoying the court's salary.

Although this method is not perfect, it can definitely deal a heavy blow to the existing boatmen.It is also a way to benefit everyone.

What Li Quan has to do now is to wait until those boatmen can't bear it. As long as they can't help making trouble, they can be charged with hurting court officials.

……

……

In recent days, there has been a lot of news in the city. It is only a small problem that the court has recruited boatmen, but it is because the notice posted by the court spreads quickly.Within two days, when the imperial court's boatmen arrived at the edge of the Bijiang River and officially started ferrying, the Li family suddenly spread the news of raising funds for investment in the amusement park.

If the Li family wants to establish a real estate group, they need people to buy shares and cooperate.

The first project is the amusement park, which is widely concerned by the people of Bizhou.

For this new type of business model, no one understands, or even knows why the Li family is looking for someone to cooperate with.

Because they don't understand, few people really care.

Li Quan is not in a hurry, because fundraising should be one of the more difficult tasks in ancient times, so it takes time to wait. He believes that even if no one is interested in Bizhou, there will always be curious people in other places who want to do it. You need to know what are the benefits of investing in a joint venture.

The drawings of the amusement park have already been drawn by someone, and many craftsmen have been asked about the difficulties that need to be overcome for each facility in the amusement park.There is also how the water park uses the water from the Bijiang River to establish a circulation system for artificial water diversion.How much money is needed to build an amusement park, how much time is needed, etc., these tasks are being carried out simultaneously.

The problem now is that there is no money. As long as there is money, the work of the amusement park can be carried out immediately.

……

……

Under such a general environment, not only the servants of the Li family were extremely busy, but also the folks in the Li family cloth village who had not resumed their livelihoods were called to work together.

As the commander-in-chief of the amusement park, Li Quan should have been extremely busy, but now he put all the work on his hands aside, and came to the small thatched hut by the river in the south of the city alone.Drink, eat and chat with the green bamboo girl.

It seems very comfortable, but the heart is very heavy.

After what happened last time, Li Quan knew that this girl had paid far more for him than what he had seen, and he didn't know how much this girl had suffered secretly because of him.
