    In November of the first year of China, Shanghai also ushered in its winter.

    The cold winter in the south of the Yangtze River makes people very uncomfortable, but compared to the harsh winter scenes in the Blackwater area in the north that are mentioned in the newspapers, it is already good.

    Ren Shuhua bought some winter clothes and worked in a factory. She could support herself and still had a considerable income.  She was walking on the street, surrounded by people, making her feel like a dream.

    When one person attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.  After being questioned by Fang Ziyi that day, she was promoted to the team leader of the factory the next day, and then went to a workers' school with pay for three months. Normally, this would give her the full benefits of being a supervisor, and then she would have to pay for her family.  There are things that only people with connections and background can do, but Ren Shuhua did it overnight.

    People around her thought she was lucky, but Ren Shuhua herself felt it was a bit unreal.

    She did not move out of her home because of her fortune, nor did she move to the dormitory for female workers in the factory, because she had a longing in her heart. Yu Guozhen said that her brother would be able to come back to visit relatives in more than a month.

    Thinking of her brother, Ren Shuhua couldn't help but laugh.

    At this moment, she saw a mess in front of her. Pedestrians who were rushing back and forth suddenly gathered in one place.  Ren Shuhua didn't like to watch the excitement. She turned around to avoid it, but the crowd suddenly dispersed. A figure with disheveled hair and a bloody face stumbled out and knelt down in front of her.

    Ren Shuhua screamed and moved away. The man who was kneeling on the ground trembled and got up, trying to run, but was kicked down by someone from behind.

    "This guy still wants to run away!"

    Ren Shuhua was stunned. She did not expect that such a thing would happen in Shanghai, the land at the feet of the emperor.  In her impression, Shanghai's public security has always been very good in recent years, and there is no such thing.

    Then she saw clearly the appearance of the group of people who took action. They were wearing the clothes of ordinary people, except that they had a piece of red cloth wrapped around their arms. The word "city supervisor" was written on the red cloth.

    Ren Shuhua knows who these people are.

    Yu Guozhen's pursuit of order is very strict, but some bad habits among the people cannot be changed in a day or two. For example, in the city, trees in the green belt are cut down at will to serve as  Fuel, streetlight theft and open defecation are among the acts.  In order to control these behaviors, there are municipal prisons in cities, and these people are employed by the municipal prisons.

    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Some people around me had the courage to ask.

    "What's going on? This guy is urinating and littering here Our Shanghai is the capital of the country. How can we tolerate such a young person under the eyes of the Holy Emperor?"

    Hearing the angry roar of the city supervisor, the people around him looked at each other in disbelief. They just wanted to stand up for justice. At this time, they couldn't help but shrink back.

    Ren Shuhua felt a little shameful. These people were just using tiger skin as a banner. She had personally spoken to Yu Guozhen. Although Yu Guozhen attached great importance to neatness, he would never humiliate and beat people like this just for the sake of tidiness.

    "No, I don't have them"

    "You didn't? Whose is the urine on the ground? Also, you are a vegetable seller, who else is it if you didn't get those rotten leaves and mud?"

    "I'm just going to clean it up"

    "Clean up and leave? If you clean up and leave, it will be useful. What do you want us, the city supervisors, to do?" Someone kicked the man again, but the man did not dare to fight back. He dodged and hid behind Ren Shuhua.  When the city supervisor saw Ren Shuhua, his eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "This girl, does this guy know the girl?"

    Ren Shuhua frowned slightly, shook her head, and then stepped aside.  But the city supervisor came up and said with a smile: "Looks like she is a female worker in the textile factory here? Or is she from the watch factory?"

    "Step aside!"

    Ren Shuhua felt disgusted in her heart when she saw his disgusting face and his playful smile.  She was originally a strong woman, so she scolded her. The city supervisor was stunned for a moment, and then smiled even more evilly: "Girl, I'm afraid I can't get out of the way. Now we suspect that the girl has something to do with this rebel who violated the will of the Holy Spirit."  It¡¯s related to the thief, please go back to the city prison with us to accept the investigation.¡±

    "Don't use the tiger skin as a banner. The Holy One has set up a city jail. He only gives you the power to patrol, but he does not give you the right to arrest or beat people!" Ren Shuhua said loudly: "Do you know why the Holy One is here?  Establish an Independent Commission Against Corruption? Do you know why Your Majesty established the Supervisory Yuan? Do you know why the first batch of public laws promulgated by Your Majesty included administrative law?"

    She kept asking questions, forcing the city supervisor to back up continuously. The onlookers around him first held their breath, and then shouted "Okay".

    "This girl is still?Sharp tongue, grandpa, do I have the right to arrest and beat people? How can a little girl like you know?  Do you know what our city supervisor is, but he is a more powerful existence than the factory guards of the previous dynasty. With three thousand city supervisors, he can sweep the world!  "The man was saying nonsensical words, but his eyes were winking at his companions. There were many people watching the excitement today. If they can't calm this woman down, I'm afraid they won't want to do anything in this area in the future.

    "I read newspapers and study every day, and I also went to night school. How could I not know?"

    "I have said that these women should not be allowed to read and write. They should be locked in the boudoir. Look, what have these women become? They are so bold!" The city supervisor knew that he could not let Ren Shuhua continue talking.  Staring, he stretched out his hand to pull her: "Take them all away, these girls are obviously traitors!"

    He is a despicable person, and he reaches out to grab Ren Shuhua's breasts.  Seeing that his fingers were about to grab the bulging breasts under his clothes, a proud smile appeared on his face.

    "Bah!"

    Two positive and negative slaps knocked him awake, and then he saw an angry young man in front of him.

    "Brother!"

    Seeing her brother appear at this moment, Ren Shuhua couldn't restrain the surprise on her face.

    "Sister, you go back. Today I'm going to teach these guys a lesson and let them know the consequences of messing with my sister!" Ren Xu was furious. This is no wonder. He had made a meritorious service and was specially allowed to come back to visit relatives. But he didn't  I thought that this was the situation I encountered.

    "Youwho are you?" After being slapped twice, the city supervisor was speechless. He pointed at Ren Xu, his fingers trembled, and shouted hoarsely: "We are the city supervisor, and we are from the imperial court. The imperial court  people"

    "Soldier of the Chinese Army." Ren Xu shouted sternly: "How dare you stretch your paws on my sister!"

    "Soldiers of the Chinese Army, good, very good."

    Behind the city supervisor, a sullen man walked over with his hands behind his back. He held down the city supervisor, stared at Ren Xu and nodded: "The imperial court has spent so much money to support you Chinese soldiers in order to let  You protect your family and country, but now you actually wave to people in the court! Are you on the side of the court or on the side of the unruly people? "

    Ren Xu was just an ordinary soldier in the Chinese army, and he was not good at speaking. Seeing that the man in front of him had unlimited official power, and looked like he had a strong background, Ren Xu couldn't help but look back.

    Turning around following him, everyone looked over there and saw another young man standing there expressionless.

    There was indeed no expression on Yu Xiang¡¯s face.

    They arrived at the beginning and found Ren Shuhua in the crowd. Because Ren Xu wanted to give her sister a surprise, she kept silent, but she never wanted to see this scene.  Yu Xiang is not an ordinary young man. He also has moments when his blood boils. However, Yu Guozhen once warned him repeatedly that his anger and happiness mean that many people will be unlucky and many people will be lucky. Therefore, happiness and anger can be present, but one must be cautious.

    Yu Xiang didn¡¯t quite understand this sentence before, but now he understands it.  Just because his father likes the market to be neat and orderly, the people below dare to be so overbearing. What does this prove?

    His father has worked hard to build a system that is different from the past, but one thing has not been completely changed.

    But this point is still the key.

    That is that officials at all levels are only top-notch, and they regard the appreciation of their superiors as everything, and do not consider the interests of the people at all.  Those officials who followed Yu Guozhen's hand and started to build from Xixiang were better, but later officials, especially those in the various governor-general areas, were weaker.

    And the lowest-level executives recruited from Shanghai who are not even officials are even more miserable.  Although they have been trained, training can teach them skills and procedures. How can it change their minds in a short period of time?

    Ren Xu looked at him for help, and he knew he could no longer avoid it.

    So he stepped forward, came to the official with his hands behind his back and looked gloomy, and saluted first.

    The officer saw his military rank at a glance and thought something bad in his mind. Someone with such a military rank at such a young age must have graduated from Xixiang Academy. Their classmates and comrades-in-arms were all over the world. Maybe his immediate boss was one of his students.  Brother or comrade.

    Because the gloom on his face suddenly disappeared, replaced by a warm smile: "How dare you do this, this captain, just tell me if you have any orders."

    "This is my ID." Yu Xiang ignored his enthusiasm and handed over his military officer ID. The man glanced at the steel seal on the ID and didn't dare to open it, so he gave it back to him.

    "I want to ask something??, what are you doing here? I never knew that the city supervisor is a law enforcement department with the power to beat and arrest prisoners. I want to see the authorization order given by your superiors and your ID.  As a Chinese citizen, I have this right.  "

    Yu Xiang's words made the official break into a cold sweat. He could intimidate Ren Xu, but he could not intimidate someone like Yu Xiang who was familiar with the working procedures of the Chinese government. He muttered something, but he did not hear it clearly, but Yu Xiang could not.  Ignoring him, just staring.

    This kind of look made the official feel very uncomfortable.

    Citizenship refers to the status classification of Chinese people drawn up by the cabinet after the first joint meeting by Yu Guozhen.  In the past, there were scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, but in the Chinese dynasty, the old scholars no longer had privileges, nor were they divided into classes based on occupation. People were divided into three categories: citizens, common people, and naturalized people.

    The Chinese people are born as common people and have all equal personal rights. Foreigners need to be naturalized citizens for more than five years and pass corresponding examinations before they can become common people.  And ordinary people can become citizens when they reach the age of twenty, or if they can obtain a secondary school diploma in advance.

    The so-called citizens mean "people with public power". As citizens, they have the right to inquire and supervise public power, from the chief minister of the cabinet to the grassroots officials.

    Yu Xiang first proved his identity with a military officer's ID card, and then used his citizen's rights to speak out. The official had to answer, but he was unable to answer.  !  !  !
