In front of the Kaifeng Prefecture Prison, Wang Hao and Bao Zheng stood side by side, watching Song Renzong Zhao Zhen and his group leave the Kaifeng Prefecture Prison, then turned around and entered the Kaifeng Prefecture Prison again.

"Wang Sicheng, when will we implement your newly formulated plan to build cement roads and modify new traffic regulations?" Bao Zheng walked back into the Kaifeng Prefecture prison and asked Wang Hao, who was walking side by side with him.

Faced with Bao Zheng's inquiry, Wang Hao replied without hesitation: "Bao Gong, in the eyes of the officials, we should be able to act without further ado."

Next, in the prison where Fan Zhongyan was detained in Kaifeng Prefecture Prison, Wang Hao and Bao Zheng discussed specific details with Fan Zhongyan to avoid deviations or errors during the implementation process.

The plan has been decided. In the prison where Fan Zhongyan was imprisoned, Bao Zheng ordered the prison head to bring a pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Wang Hao told him orally, and Fan Zhongyan picked up the pen himself. He checked it on the side and took about an hour to write several concise official documents.

It was almost noon, and Wang Hao and Bao Zheng said goodbye to Fan Zhongyan. They acted separately. Bao Zheng mainly brought a group of Kaifeng government runners to post notices to modify one of the new traffic regulations in the streets and alleys of Tokyo.

The three forms of penalties for violating the new traffic regulations, from previous verbal warnings, criticisms, education, and detention, will be changed to fines. According to the degree of violating the new traffic regulations, the amount of fines ranges from 100 cents, 1,000 cents, 100 cents, 100 cents, 100 cents, 100 cents, and 100,000 cents and 100 million cents.

For those who cannot pay the amount of fined within twelve hours, they can sell labor mortgages to the street department, and every day they work, they can mortgage ten cents, and so on.

The introduction of this newly revised penalty fully reflects a principle: the rich who violates the new traffic regulations will have to support the money, and the poor who violate the new traffic regulations will have to support the individual.

Whether you are rich or poor, you have to support yourself after you violate the new traffic regulations. It is impossible to escape punishment.

Adhering to the principle of not retrospectively, the revised penalty will be promulgated and implemented in Tokyo from 4 noon this day.

In other words, Fan Zhongyan, who had been sentenced to lie in Kaifeng Prefecture for three days, could neither pay a fine nor sell his labor to mortgage his penalties for three days. He could only be released after lieging in the three days of prison.

On this side, Bao Zheng led a group of Kaifeng government runners to post notices written by Fan Zhongyan himself in the streets and alleys in Tokyo. On the other side, after Wang Hao returned to the street yamen, he called Zhang Sanmu and several street yamen, and drove out of the only broken carriage in the street yamen, and headed out of the Tokyo gate and headed out of the suburbs.

Fortunately, there was a very mature printing technique at that time. The manuscript written by Fan Zhongyan had been printed out in less than a moment.

Under Zhang Sanmu's guidance, the group of them drove the carriage and took about an hour and a half to stop in the wilderness of a village.

After getting off the carriage, Wang Hao looked at the place about a hundred places in front of him, and immediately looked at it. He was immediately happy and said to Zhang Sanmu who was standing beside him, "Brother Sanmu, you have helped me a lot after class. Now, it has helped me solve a difficult problem."

Because the road ahead was narrow and the carriage could not pass at all, Wang Hao asked the two accompanying soldiers to wait here to watch the carriage. He, Zhang Sanmu, and four other soldiers rushed over on foot.

After about a moment of effort, Wang Hao walked up to the front and found that this large area was found. Looking around, there were as many as a dozen kilns made of stones.

After stopping, Wang Hao immediately ordered Zhang Sanmu and the four street soldiers who followed him to call the owners of more than a dozen stone kilns within a radius of two or three miles to him to ask questions.

Because at this moment, almost all the chimneys of each stone kiln are emitting blue smoke, which means that these stone kilns are burning things. As the owners of the stone kiln, they are basically supervising the work next to the stone kiln.

Almost every stone kiln is built next to each stone kiln, which is used by stone kiln workers to rest. The owner of the stone kiln who is responsible for supervising the work is naturally here.

As expected, after about half an hour, Zhang Sanmu and the four street officials basically called the owners of the dozen stone kilns to Wang Hao.

Previously, when Wang Hao was in the Kaifeng Prefecture Prison, he was wearing casual clothes. When he returned to the street yamen, he immediately changed into public uniforms, including Zhang Sanmu and the accompanying street yamen. Each of them was wearing public uniforms.

For the owners of these stone kilns, each of them is a commoner. When they see people in public uniforms and are called to ask questions, they dare not refuse to follow them, so they naturally agreed happily.

"Brother Hao, I just counted it. There are a total of sixteen stone kilns here. Four brothers from the Street Division found the owners of the fourteen stone kilns. The owners of the other two stone kilns were not here. I asked the people who were working in the two stone kilns to report to their stone kiln owners." Zhang Sanmu reported to Wang Hao about finding the owner of the stone kiln.

After listening to Zhang Sanmu's report, Wang Hao nodded slightly, glanced at him, and asked, "Do you know who I am?"

The fourteen people standing in a row, after hearing Wang Hao's question, looked at each other in front of each other, then shook their heads and replied in unison: "I don't know."

Immediately afterwards, Wang Hao asked again: "Do you know that there is a street yamen in Tokyo?"

Facing Wang Hao's inquiry again, the fourteen people looked at each other again, then shook their heads again, and replied at the same time: "I don't know."

Next, Wang Hao continued to inquire: "How do you transport the lime burned from the kiln to Tokyo for sale?"

For Wang Hao this time, a middle-aged man standing in the middle who was about to know his destiny, answered first: "Report to the officials that after the lime fired in our kiln, the buyers in Tokyo sent carriages to take them away. We rarely go to Tokyo on weekdays, and only a few times have been to Tokyo within a year."

After listening to the middle-aged man's answer, Wang Hao realized that they didn't know that there was a street yamen because they rarely went to Tokyo, and they didn't know that he, the Si Cheng, had just taken office for less than a month.

After thinking for a while, Wang Hao immediately announced to the fourteen people solemnly: "I am the secretary of the street in Tokyo. I am ordered by the official to build a cement road in the Tokyo yard.

"The lime fired in the kiln by all of you is one of the important raw materials for cement. From now on, all the lime fired in the next month have been requisitioned by our officers and must not betrayed and sold to the outside world. Once discovered, they will be detained in Kaifeng Prefecture prison for punishment."

When these fourteen people heard that they were standing in front of them, this little official who seemed to be just in his prime, claimed to be the secretary of the street in Tokyo. He was ordered by the officials to requisition each of them for thirty days. Suddenly, all of them were mixed.

"The villain took the liberty to ask this official Sicheng. Every time you sell a truck of fired lime, the buyer will pay 5,000 yuan. I wonder how much money can a truck of lime be given to us after requisitioning all the lime fired in the kiln?" The middle-aged man was still the one who strengthened his courage and asked Wang Hao, who stood against him, without any hesitation.

Just as the question of this person fell, Wang Hao, who was facing him, had no time to think too much, and replied without thinking: "After the expiration of the requisition period, I will pay you the money for requisition of lime. As you said just now, each truck of lime is 5,000 yuan. No, I will give you another one hundred yuan per truck of lime.

"In order to prove that I will not be able to pay back my debts, you can count how many carts of lime have been pulled away every day. I will sign and write an IOU for you. Thirty days later, you will take all the IOUs I made and go to the street yamen not far from the west of Liangmen in Tokyo to get the money. I hereby assure you that you will not lose a penny at that time."

Just now, the expressions on each of these fourteen people's cheeks can be described as "mixed and mixed". After hearing Wang Hao's words on credit for 30 days, each person's cheeks immediately showed complex expressions such as astonishment, panic, and sorrow.

Seeing the owners of the fourteen stone kilns standing in front of them, they all looked very difficult, Wang Hao rushed forward and approached them, questioning: "Why, do you think it's not feasible for the proposal I just made?"

Whether in ancient times or in modern society, the old saying "the people do not fight with officials" is very applicable.

The owners of the fourteen stone kilns naturally knew that as powerless people, they could not fight the young man in front of them who claimed to be the street chief. What's more, this young man was ordered by the Zhao official family, so they naturally did not dare to act rebelliously. They could only break their teeth and swallow them into their stomachs. As the saying goes: A mute eats coptis chinensis - it is difficult to say.

However, there are still some of them who don’t want to just let the small official in front of them do so and want to win some benefits for themselves. For them, they have to spend 30 days on credit, and the money accumulated together is not a small amount.
