Su Yonglin believes that he is very strict when it comes to dealing with officials breaking the law, and the punishments are very strict, without any perfunctory or indulgent aspects.
In power for more than ten years, he launched three major purges in a row, launching a massive campaign of destruction against the traditional gentry, bureaucrats, and landlord classes, basically eradicating their power, and the revolution was very thorough.
The third great purge was a concentrated treatment of the corrupted ones inside. Starting from the center, they pulled out the carrots and brought out the mud, and cleaned them all.
During the three major purges, he executed countless criminals and implicated countless people.
There are countless people who lost their lives, were exiled, and were accused of crimes for three, four, or even seven or eight generations.
For an official, if he violates laws and regulations and plays tricks, he must be prepared to suffer consequences for his whole family and implicate future generations. There is a price to pay for everything.
This can be said to be a very terrible and severe punishment, but there are still people who continue to commit crimes and do wrong things, as if to prove how strong their heads are.
This era is not the era where "if you don't have descendants, you are the uncle".
This era is a serious one. "There are three major ways to be unfilial and not having offspring is the worst." Everyone cares about themselves and even more about their offspring.
Every household pays attention to having more children and more happiness, and every household is encouraged by the Ming government's policy to encourage childbirth. This wave of baby boom started in the sixth and seventh years of Hongwu and has still not ended until now.
However, these vested interests seemed to ignore the price they and their descendants might pay, and went directly to Su Yonglin himself, determined to do what they wanted to do at all costs.
How desperate are they to break the law?
If you have this determination, why not engage in revolution but engage in conspiracy?
Is it really a dead end with no solution?
Su Yonglin sighed deeply at this, feeling deeply that his abilities were limited and could not solve this ultimate problem of power and desire.
Maybe he is just an enhanced version of Zhu Yuanzhang, and no matter how hard he fights corruption, he will never be able to solve the problem.
Maybe no matter how he carries out institutional reforms and introduces democratic supervision procedures, he still cannot solve this problem.
But, still the same sentence.
As long as he lives, he will be at odds with these people. As long as he lives, these people will never change things.
So what happens after he dies?
Su Yonglin held the tea bowl, leaning against the door frame in the deep night, sipping tea in small sips.
Times have developed, science and technology have developed, and civilization has developed.
But there are always some things that stay in place, as if to prove their tenacity, and are determined not to be eliminated by the development of the times. They stubbornly exist and grow. If they are cut off once, they will grow again, never ending.
what can we do about it?
Under the pale moonlight, Su Yonglin felt extremely melancholy.
Starting from the next day, Su Yonglin began to leave Jinan Fucheng and headed towards the surrounding collective farms and handicraft workshops, touring and having close contact and cordial conversations with farmers and workers.
The very heated public opinion crisis that is about to get out of control in places such as Yizhou and Juzhou is not without its development in other areas. For example, in Jinan, there are also many heated discussions about these things.
People here are also keen on conspiracy theories, but local officials and cadres are more susceptible to the influence of the Provincial Office in Jinan City, so the situation in this regard has not gotten out of control.
The news of Su Yonglin's arrival in Jinan immediately affected people here.
After Su Yonglin criticized them, the Shandong Propaganda Bureau worked hard to make a comeback for Su Yonglin, so before Su Yonglin arrived, they started to publicize Su Yonglin's arrival with great fanfare to let the local people know.
After the people learned about this, they were inexplicably excited, especially when they heard that Su Yonglin was going to inspect their work place, they became even more excited.
Under the leadership of the grassroots organization of the Renaissance Association, they washed their bodies and clothes, tidied their dormitories and homes, and then cleaned up the entire collective farm and handicraft workshop, doing an all-round cleaning to welcome Su Yonglin cleanly.
The Qihe Smelting Factory in the northeast of Jinan City is an old steel smelting factory. It is also one of the first factories to use the latest smelting methods to smelt high-strength steel. It has more than a thousand workers and an annual output of more than 9,000 tons of new steel.
When Su Yonglin came here for inspection, he saw all the managers and workers lined up neatly to greet him.
Su Yonglin showed an extremely helpless smile at that time.
He looked at Fan Kai, the magistrate of Jinan Prefecture, beside him, and said helplessly: "Did you stop the factory to greet me?"
Fan Kaidun felt wronged and immediately took the blame.
"Absolutely not. I just asked them to prepare and said you were coming to inspect. Who knew they stopped work directly? I was also surprised. This... don't you like this?"
"There's no need to stop work just for me. It's still so decent. Can't you just send a few people to take me around?"
Su Yonglin shook his head and slowly stepped forward.
Factory director Fangyuan and factory instructor Tang Zhi quickly stepped forward to greet Su Yonglin, with smiles on their faces.
"Director Fang, instructor Tang, your bodies are so clean."
Su Yonglin started to get angry, and as soon as he started talking, Fangyuan and Tang Zhi's expressions changed drastically, and they looked confused.
"Not only are you clean, but the workers are also so clean, and their clothes are spotless."
Su Yonglin walked up to a few workers with stiff expressions nearby and looked at their clothes.
"You spent a lot of time washing clothes and taking a shower, right?"
"Forehead……"
The stiff-faced worker didn't know how to answer, and stared at Fangyuan and Tang Zhi.
Su Yonglin shook his head helplessly, with a wry smile on his face.
"Forget it, let's not talk about anything else. At least it can make our workers cleaner and more energetic. That's it. Don't do this next time. I just came to see you and chat with you. What do you want to do? Just do whatever you want, don’t worry about me.”
Fangyuan and Tang Zhi were originally filled with annoyance, but when they heard Su Yonglin's words, they felt that Su Yonglin didn't seem to be blaming them.
Magistrate Fan Kai stepped forward with a look of complaint on his face.
"I'm asking you to prepare, not to stop working. What do you want to do like you are facing a powerful enemy? What the chairman wants to see is the way you work hard, not the way you are fully loaded and clean. This doesn't matter. clear?"
Fangyuan and Tang Zhidun felt wronged.
Isn't this what you asked us to prepare?
Not to mention how to prepare, after much deliberation, we have no other way, right?
But they dare not shirk the blame, so they can only admit that they are unlucky and shoulder the blame.
Su Yonglin looked at Fang Yuan and Tang Zhi who were not daring to say anything, shook his head and patted Fan Kai on the shoulder.
"Don't blame them. You didn't tell them in detail and asked them to prepare. To what extent? You didn't make it clear. Of course they don't dare to slack off."
Fan Kai quickly expressed his mistake.
Su Yonglin did not blame him, but said that after returning, he would draw up a charter. When cadres come to inspect, all collective farms and state-owned factories, regardless of their level, must use the same and unique process to greet them.
Don't go back and forth and end up creating some boring pomp, wasting resources, and delaying work.
Now that it has reached this point, there is no need to let the workers go back to work. Su Yonglin thought that since he wanted to have cordial talks, he might as well have cordial talks and have a thorough discussion.
He showed the spirit of leading farmers to hold public trials and grievance meetings before, and talked closely with workers.
Although Su Yong and others were very nervous, Su Yonglin didn't care.
He asked the workers around him if they had heard any rumors about him. The workers all nodded and said they had.
For example, Su Yonglin was placed under house arrest.
The group of nine usurped power.
The Ming Dynasty is about to change.
Su Yonglin is waiting for their rescue in Zhongdu.
All kinds of things.
Su Yonglin didn't know whether to laugh or cry about this. He sat on a high ground and asked the workers to sit around him and listen to him slowly explain these things and the causes and consequences of this series of events in his eyes.
"Everyone should already know about this system reform, right? Regarding public representatives, has your factory notified you of selecting worker representatives?"
"Invincibility starts with sacrificing the ancestor"
The surrounding workers all looked at a strong, dark-faced worker on Su Yonglin's left.
