I really don't want to be a rebel [infrastructure]

Today's canal construction site is full of men, not a single woman!

When Luo Shixing estimated the progress before, he estimated it according to the labor force of women. After all, there are many boys and girls in Jiaozhou now, so there must be many women involved, but what's going on now?

It doesn't matter if they are all men, and there are even disabled people. These disabled people do things very slowly, not to mention very strenuous, and such heavy work is also a burden on their bodies.

Luo Shixing's expression darkened immediately, and he turned to the secretary and said, "Go, call me all the people who are in charge of this recruitment and project."

He didn't let anyone call Cui Shenji. Cui Shenji has been very busy recently, and this kind of thing must be handed over to his subordinates.

Cui Shenji should not have done such an outrageous thing, so it must be done by the people below.

After a while, a dozen or so people were brought in front of Luo Shixing, with Si Tu joining the army at the front.

Among the officials at the first level in Datang Prefecture, there are also officials in charge of various departments like the Six Departments of the imperial court. For example, the person in charge of engineering construction is Situ. Now the position of Situ is apparently vacant, but Cui Shenji is actually holding it. Si Tu joined the army as his assistant, responsible for the implementation of various affairs.

This time, the construction of the canal was made by Situ joining the army.

Many of these mid-level officials in the state city survived. This one was the original Jiaozhou chieftain who joined the army. Luo Shixing had never heard of his bad deeds, and no one had come to sue him before. Did not change.

It was the second time for Situ to join the army to see the governor. On the one hand, he was a little nervous, and on the other hand, he was a little bit aggrieved, and he was very awkward to salute such a young child.

It's fine if the other party is of noble birth, but it's obvious that the other party is of ordinary background, and he was even an exile before, which makes people feel very unbalanced.

Luo Shixing turned his gaze to him, and Situ Jianjun, who had just finished his salute, couldn't help shaking.

It's strange, when Mingming met for the first time, the little governor seemed very gentle, so gentle that it made people feel easy to be fooled.

Why this time, it feels like the other party's eyes can shine into the bottom of my heart, making all the ghostly tricks in my heart invisible?

Luo Shixing asked in a deep voice, "Why delay the construction period?"

Si Tu joined the army and immediately said: "I have to report to the envoy, there is nothing we can do about it. There are too few males left in Jiaozhou now, and even the handicapped ones have been used. It's really... can't get up soon." .”

Luo Shixing looked down at him and asked in a cold voice: "Aren't there too few men and women? Did I say that women are not allowed when I gave the order?"

Situ Jianjun immediately said: "How can this woman do these things? They just wash clothes and cook. For the same salary, men can do more, not to mention the difference between men and women..."

Luo Shixing became angry when he heard this, and he whipped it away, then turned his head and said to the recorder next to him, "Take him down for investigation! I want to see if you can make trouble for me with a small recruiter." How many moths are there?"

Si Tu's joining the army was already stupefied. He never expected that the new governor, who seemed particularly friendly, would do it as soon as he said he would do it, and he wanted to be thoroughly investigated. , Your Majesty, I will act according to the orders above!"

Luo Shixing ignored him, looked at Si Tu Zuo next to him, pointed to him and said, "Let everyone suspend work, and the list of those who have been hired has been sent for review. I really gave you face!"

Situ Shuzuo's face suddenly changed, and he asked with some fear: "This... this... If you are unhappy, we will do as you say. Why are you so angry?"

Luo Shixing sneered and said nothing. What Situ said about joining the army seemed to make sense. Nowadays, wages are settled on a daily basis for digging canals. With the same amount of money, it is natural that people with strong strength and hard work are more suitable.

No one can deny the difference between men and women, but the question is, isn't it clear at a glance which one is more efficient, a man with a disability that even affects his actions, or a healthy woman?

How can a normal person ignore his physical condition and hire directly just because the other party is a man?He wouldn't believe it if there was no problem.

Luo Shixing didn't look very good when he went out, and he was even more unhappy when he came back. He already felt a little unhappy when Cheng Jingwei went out to suppress the bandits these two days, but these people added fuel to his fire.

When he came back, Cui Shenji seemed to have heard something, rushed over and cupped his hands and said, "I didn't notice, I didn't expect the people below to be so sneaky and cunning."

Luo Shixing softened his expression and said, "It's not your fault. You didn't know them before and didn't understand them. Who would have thought that even small officials in Jiaozhou would dare to obey others?"

Cui Shenji secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He also knew that Luo Shixing was not someone who would vent his anger at will, but he heard people say that Luo Shixing's complexion was very ugly. You must know that since he knew Luo Shixing, he rarely saw the other party's mood so bad that he didn't even cover it up. .

Compared with Luo Shixing's blame, he was more worried that the other party would be angry.

What's more, Cheng Jingwei is not here yet, if Cheng Jingwei comes back and finds out that he is not there, the little lynx will be choked with anger, and maybe another life will be lost.

It looks okay now, although he is angry, but it doesn't seem to be that exaggerated.

Luo Shixing raised his chin: "I asked someone to investigate, there must be something wrong with it, just wait."

Because Wang Antong's previous simple and crude methods were very effective, so now basically as long as Luo Shixing has certain evidence and thinks there is a problem, then he will be taken directly for interrogation without wasting words.

Sure enough, some people reported it after a while. These people did have problems, but their biggest problem was bribery and clique.

After hearing this, Luo Shixing was incomprehensible for a moment: "Accepting bribes? How can you accept bribes?"

Spend money to bribe Situ to join the army just to dig aqueducts?What are you kidding?

In fact, this is true. After Luo Shixing combined the previous economic situation of the state capital, he set the salary at a medium level. He didn't set it too high for fear of causing inflation, and he didn't want to set it too low.

Isn't it a joke that people have worked so hard for a long time, but they can't even eat enough?

However, he thinks that the relatively fair salary is a fat job nowadays, and many people immediately sign up when they hear about it.

It's just that Luo Shixing didn't want to delay the land reclamation, so he didn't recruit many people. At the same time, he gave a certain number of temporary workers. These temporary workers just had time to come and sign up to work, and they paid for each day they worked.

Of course, the wages of temporary workers must be lower, but even so the number of temporary workers is full, and many people want to sign up but can't apply.

They have already given up farming. After all, there have been too many natural and man-made disasters recently. After working hard for half a day, they may lose everything in an accident. But now at least the wages they are paid are real.

So someone started to bribe the people in charge of these, just to be able to dig the canal.

When Luo Shixing saw this place, he felt it was very magical. Who would have thought that hard work that few people would like to do in later generations would be a favorite these days?

However, the more magical thing is below. Logically speaking, since you can use money to buy places, then not only men will do this, but women will also grit their teeth and think of ways to make a living.

It's just that no matter how much money the women pay to buy the places, these people are not hired. There is a very simple reason-the latest policy to be issued by the state government means to help orphaned women establish female households.

No matter when the more backward areas oppress women, the more civilized and economical areas are not oppressed, but there is a bottom line no matter how oppressive it is, and the bottom line in poor areas will be very low.

When Situ joined the army, they all thought it was a very bad custom. Although they heard that there was such a custom in the Han people, they did not have it here.

How can a woman be the head of the household?It must not work.

If a woman wants to set up a female household and wants to be independent, she must be able to survive. If she has no money, can't work if she wants to, and has no other means of getting money, then she can only rely on men?

A married woman cannot establish a female household. As for the fact that there are more women than men, there is no problem. At worst, every man should marry two more.

What?Disabled no one to marry?What happened to the disability?Disabled people are men too.

Although Situ joined the army and they were not civilians, they felt a sense of crisis that resources were being taken away, so this was their way to fight against the state capital's policy of female households.

Can't they object and can't do something else?At that time, there will be no orphans who take the initiative to apply for the establishment of a female household, so this one will just go away?

When Luo Shixing saw this, his blood surged, his temples throbbed, and he was even more angry than these people taking bribes before.

He sat aside without saying a word, but kept taking deep breaths to calm himself down, trying to restrain himself from yelling.

Seeing that he was almost scared to death, Cui Shenji quickly stretched out his hand and patted him on the back and said, "I'm not angry, I'm just a bunch of foolish people. At worst, I'll change them."

Luo Shixing turned his head and asked, "When will our people arrive?"

Cui Shenji made some calculations and said, "It's only been two days."

Luo Shixing nodded: "Okay, in the past two days, let Wei Weng take people to check all the people left in all departments. No matter what method I use to investigate, I must check it out. I don't care if they have read or not. But you must obey me!"

He has already asked the small officials in the state capital to relax a lot. You must know that even the gatekeepers in the manor are literate!

Cough, the gatekeepers are usually soldiers, and when enlisting in the army, they will be able to literacy.

As long as they are obedient, they can do whatever they want, but in the end, even such a small request cannot be fulfilled.

If you can't do it, don't do it!He is short of people, but not to this extent.

Call for injustice?Shout, go to Guangfu if you have the ability, go to Luoyang if you have the ability to shout, see if anyone takes care of you?

Luo Shixing went back to his study angrily, and after the anger passed, he smacked his lips and felt that he was like the Tu Emperor.

Isn't Emperor Shangao a reflection of Jiaozhou City now?

In fact, Luo Shixing is not looking for trouble for nothing. The group of Si Tu joining the army basically represents a certain group of people, especially when they are doing this, no one dissuades them, which means that other grassroots responsible for cooperation may also be the same idea.

What's more, they may even be complicit in accepting bribes together. Before that, he felt that no one had reported these people to show that these people were okay as officials.

Thinking about it now, everyone said that the county magistrate is not as good as the current one, and no one knows if everyone dared not sue.

Because of the thorough investigation of these officials, the atmosphere in Jiaozhou City became tense again, and at this time, Cheng Jingwei brought a group of captives to Jiaozhou with a large number of people from Beidai County.
