Red Alert 1895

"Boom boom boom boom..."

Wang Guorui had just decided to send mercenaries out to carry out the order to help the Boers fight against the British, but immediately there was a drum beating outside the door. And this drum sound is obviously produced by a special drum, and the sound and timbre are very special. When Wang Guorui heard the sound of the drum, he immediately felt that something big had happened. Because this drum is outside the governor's mansion, and it is only played for those people who have important things to do. This is a channel Wang Guorui made for the people, so that the people can only beat the drum if they are severely oppressed. However, in the end, he found that he had to beat the drums for some trivial matters. Not only would Wang Guorui not help himself, but he would hold the person who played the drums accountable. Because this drum can only be played for major events, otherwise it cannot be played. So now that someone actually beat the drum, something big must have happened.

"Go and call the drummer!" Wang Guorui said.

Soon, the drummers were also brought in, and it turned out that there were quite a few of them. Most of them are wearing very ordinary clothes, only the one in front is more elegantly dressed, but it is only more elegant, not very luxurious. However, these two groups of people are clearly distinct, the ordinary people belong to one group, and the well-dressed people belong to another group. And then, they actually knelt down together.

"My lord, make the decision for us!" The two groups said together.

Wang Guorui immediately said: "Hurry up, we don't have to kneel in Taiwan anymore. If you have any ideas, just say, what we are doing here are all senior officials of the Taiwan Governor's Office. Now we are just in a meeting. It is better to hurry up." Coincidentally, since you guys are beating the drums at this time, all of us can comment on it for you!"

soon. The well-dressed man immediately rushed to say: "Master Wang, I am Wang Tianlin, the boss of our Taiwan Tianlin Construction Company. I am in the same family as you. But these unscrupulous people actually detained my family, and then all Kidnapped. They kidnapped my family. Then they came to extort money! This is absolutely extortion, please Lord Wang decide for us! My two sons and my two wives were detained by them Yes. If Mr. Wang is slower, maybe our family will be humiliated!"

But those ordinary people dressed in ordinary clothes next to him also said immediately: "Master Wang, don't listen to him, we just want to get back our wages. We worked hard for three months and worked for no less than ten hours a day. And they all do the rough and tiring work. But he is in arrears with us for three months of wages. We construction workers are relying on these wages to live, but he is in arrears, which makes us unable to live. So, We just made the wrong decision and chose this method to ask for wages. Please Lord Wang make the decision for us, we hope to get our wages back."

Next, the two sides began to scold each other here, obviously thinking that it was the other party's mistake. That Wang Tianlin thought that these workers kidnapped his family to blackmail, and another group of construction workers also thought they were asking for their wages back. So they all quarrel with each other.

And Wang Guorui and the senior Taiwanese officials who left again also heard something, that is, this is actually a typical labor dispute. The boss defaults on wages, and then workers need wages to survive. And those workers failed to ask for wages, so they chose to obtain wages through this method of detaining Wang Tianlin's family members.

And this matter has caused a sensation outside, but it has not yet spread to the Governor's Mansion. However, Wang Guorui probably understood what was going on here. It was nothing more than that the boss defaulted on wages, and then the workers chose extreme methods to ask for wages, which resulted in such a farce. This kind of thing also happens from time to time in later generations, and in this way, both parties are at fault. Because the boss is wrong in arrears of wages, but there are indeed problems with the way those construction workers ask for wages, because this kind of behavior is very extreme. All kinds of economic production order are also destroyed.

"Everyone, you have a dispute. Why don't you go to the court to resolve it? You must know that our court can meet with you for people with low income. Why don't you go to the court to resolve it?" Ouyang Xuan asked.

A migrant worker immediately asked, "A court? What is a court?"

"..." Ouyang Xuan was speechless.

And Wang Guorui immediately explained to Ouyang Xuan in a low voice: "Many people don't have much legal awareness in their hearts. Many of them don't know where the court is. And they rely on the clan elders in the village to solve the problem. Coming to the city all of a sudden, they are very unfamiliar with the city environment, so they naturally don't know what a court is."

Wang Guorui has also heard about some of these situations in later generations. For example, when migrant workers came to the city, they left their hometowns to work outside, and once they were owed wages, they didn't know where to go to take responsibility. Because they know less about the city, and they don't have much awareness of litigation. I have to say that those officials in ancient China were a bit of a jerk. In terms of law enforcement, most people are biased towards those wealthy households, and in their eyes, the law is also something used to oppress the people, so ordinary people are naturally the same in front of the law. In bad situation. In this way, the common people do not believe in the law, and ordinary people do not understand legal knowledge, and are even unwilling to use the law to protect their own interests. And they all use their own methods, such as causing trouble, or some extreme behavior. And the most serious thing is rebellion, hoping to overthrow the dynasty through rebellion.

Of course, this is also related to the lack of publicity of the law. In addition, migrant workers have their own cultural aspects, various social networks, and even their own economic strength. They are also at a serious disadvantage and belong to a disadvantaged group. In this way, they are also at a serious disadvantage when fighting against those bosses.

Therefore, they do not know that the court can make decisions for them, and they dare not go to the court, because the government in the feudal era was established to help the rich oppress the people, and the purpose of the law is to rule the people, not to protect the people. Social fairness exists, and such laws and judicial organs will naturally create an unfair society. Those who have just come to Taiwan naturally don’t know that this place has changed. They still subconsciously think that the judiciary here is the same as the Manchu Qing government in mainland China, so they either don’t know the court, or they dare not go. Go to court.

"I also understand what you mean. Now, I just want to ask, Wang Tianlin, why are you in arrears of wages? Don't you know that wages should be paid on time? Tell me, why are you in arrears of wages? " Wang Guorui said angrily.

After hearing Wang Guorui's words, Wang Tianlin immediately told the truth. And the truth is that, as the boss of the construction industry, he wants to bid for the construction rights of a building, and he must advance the capital first. Generally speaking, the customer pays a part of the wealth first, and then it is used as the start-up capital for the start of work. And after the construction reaches a certain level, it will continue to pay as much money as possible. After the building is built, it will pass the inspection and then transfer all the funds to the other party's account. But it is inevitable to take out part of the money to advance funds, and this Wang Tianlin is of course impossible to use his own money to advance funds, so he chose to default on the wages of migrant workers, and then used it as an advance fund for development.

"Why don't you go to the bank to choose a loan? If you want to advance funds, you can get the loan through mortgages. Then you are not without options. Why do you choose to pay wages in arrears to make up for this advance funds?" Wang Guorui once again spoke righteously asked.

"This..." Wang Tianlin was a little speechless.

Wang Guorui immediately snorted again: "Don't think I don't understand your thoughts, because you think that these migrant workers are all from the mainland, and they are all rural people, so they are easy to bully, right? Even if you bully them, Then they can't do anything about you. They have no relatives and no reason in the city, so they can't do anything about you, the boss. They don't know how to go to the court, and they don't have high-ranking officials to back them up, so you think you are in arrears of wages , they have nothing to do. Then, you choose to default on wages~www.readwn.com~ It has great advantages compared to loans. In addition to the fact that migrant workers are easier to bully than banks with government backgrounds, the more important thing is that It is because bank loans require interest, and the interest is not low. If you have to pay interest on the loan, your profit will be reduced, and the risk will also increase. If you choose to default on the wages of migrant workers, not only the risk is much smaller, And without paying extra interest, yes?"

And Wang Tianlin immediately had nothing to say, obviously silent, because Wang Guorui had analyzed everything in his heart, so what else could he say?

"Go and pay these migrant workers immediately, even a loan," Wang Guorui said.

And Wang Tianlin immediately said: "Yes, yes, I will give it right away. But what about my family?"

Wang Guorui thought for a while, and then said: "Go and release their family members, he should pay you now, dare he not clean him up for me. However, don't do such radical behavior in the future. However, you They are also gathering people to pick quarrels and make trouble, so they should be detained for three days. You go to the detention center to study hard in these three days, and see if there is any law that needs to be learned, you can study it.”

And those migrant workers immediately knelt down and said: "Thank you, Mr. Wang! Mr. Wang is really reborn!" (To be continued)
