Chapter 121 Things are finally going in a strange direction

When the patriarch of the Gao clan was hung down from the cliff cave with a rope, Yun Zhao was a little dizzy.

The way a ten-year-old child learns to speak like an adult makes Yun Zhao want to kick him into the ditch.

Yun Yang said in his ear: "Back then, each of us had the idea of kicking you into the ditch, and we might even want to bury some soil!" ”

Yun Zhao also turned his head sideways and said in Yun Yang's ear: "The scouts have all been sent out?" We're weak here, don't let anyone really bury me. ”

Yun Yang said softly: "I can see it, you are hungry for Ningxia and Gansu, and you are not here to deal with any mining disasters at all." ”

Yun Zhao smiled: "How can you see it? ”

Yun Yang said angrily: "Do you think I can't smell the stench emanating from Li Dingguo's body?" The silver mill mine disaster is just a trigger for your attack.

If I hadn't been too familiar with you, I would have even suspected that you were responsible for this mining disaster. ”

Yun Zhao smiled: "Delong Wangshu, do you sound familiar with this sentence?" ”

Yun Yang said: "Guanzhong, Hanzhong to Shuzhong seven roads, we have all controlled, including Meridian Road, Fu Luo Road, Bao Chuan Road, Chen Cang Road, Lychee Road, Micang Road, Jinniu Road.

You still want to consolidate the Yīn Ping Dao and the Qishan Dao, so you started plotting here, right?

It seems that Shuzhong is very important to you!

All the layouts revolve around this center, and when I was in Lantian, I really thought you were worried about the silver factory disaster.

Speaking of which, do you know how many people die every day in the coal kilns in Yan'an Mansion in order to supply coal to Lantian County?

Do you know how many people die every year in the caravan that goes to Yunnan and Guizhou to transport lead ingots for us?

Last year, nine people died in the fryer of the Lantian County Steel Mill, and you didn't even have the intention of coming forward, so you let the people below solve it.

That's right under your nose.

Do the math, how many people will be killed or injured in a year in the sum of my Yun's many industries?

Added up, the tiny silver factory is nothing at all. ”

Yun Zhao looked at Yun Yang and said, "How did you become so smart?" ”

Yun Yang patted his chest and said, "Xu Wu doesn't want to be there, I received all your documents, of course I know." ”

Yun Zhao rudely snatched all those documents from Yun Yang's arms, put them in his horse bag, and then said to Yun Yang: "Don't allow it in the future." ”

Yun Yang said: "In the past, there was little money, didn't I deal with it when Xu Wu wanted to be away?" As far as I know, as your lieutenant, I have the authority to supervise you! ”

Yun Zhao said: "Their mouths are not as big as yours!" ”

Yun Yang said with a smile: "It's really interesting to read your paperwork, let me read it for a few more days, I really want to know what Li Dingguo took the Yanbian thief Kou Yangliu to Qingyangwei, but didn't kill him, let him escape all the way to Longzhong." ”

"Get out!" Yun Zhao shouted angrily, and Yun Yang obediently closed his mouth.

The Gao clan in Tiaocheng is very similar to the Yun clan in Lantian County, both of them are in decline and the side branches are prosperous, but there is no master in their family to be thieves, so the orphans and widows are very pitiful.

If Guanzhong was almost given up by the imperial court because of the thieves, then the imperial court has never treated Longzhong well.

It is very interesting to say, this place has been very strong since ancient times, even if it is the middle hall of the house of the person who can't eat enough, there will be a calligraphy and painting, a couplet, it seems that as long as there is calligraphy and painting in the house, it is very different from other poor people.

So, this made a big trouble, working as a miner in a silver factory, a lot of coolies of craftsmen, actually literate!

Because of this, their view of life is very different from that of ordinary poor people, and when the concept of filial piety is deeply rooted in the bone marrow, it is difficult for them to give up rescuing their relatives because of a little money.

The ten-year-old principal of the Gao family, when he saw Yun Zhao's first request, was that the sixty-three people should see people alive and corpses when they died, and they would be buried safely, so he was willing to follow Yun Zhao to the silver factory to persuade those Gao brothers who were pulling flags and rebelling to put down the tools and hoes in their hands and accept punishment.

Of course, this punishment should not be too harsh.

Yun Zhao knew that the people of the Gao clan did not believe in him, the Lantian County Commander whom they had never met, but believed in the benefits that the silver factory had brought to the people here in the past three years.

For the sake of these benefits, coupled with the possibility of solving the matter of the silver factory, people are willing to take risks.

Yun Zhao stayed in Tiaocheng for three days, and never went to the silver factory, during these three days, Yun Zhao visited the ancestors of the Gao family accompanied by Gao Yuan Feng and Gao Zhengmao, the masters of the Gao family.

It can be regarded as a formal friendship with the Gao family.

Gao Yuan Feng did not go to the silver factory, Gao Zhengmao walked tirelessly, and on the afternoon of the fourth day, Yun Zhao finally met Gao Zhengmao, who represented the miners and craftsmen!

At this time, Yun Zhao didn't seem to know this person, and looked at Gao Zhengmao, who was surrounded by a group of miners and craftsmen, and said, "Let's talk about it!" ”

Gao Zhengmao immediately said: "The managers of the silver factory are all alive, and they only survived under the protection of these miners and craftsmen. ”

Yun Zhao said: "I already know these things, and now, I would like to know who let sixty-three miners enter the prospecting pit at one time. ”

"It's Sun Dacai!"

Before Gao Zhengmao could speak, a voice came from the crowd.

Yun Zhao glanced at the list of Yun clan stewards, and didn't find this Sun Dacai, so he said in a deep voice: "Where did he come from, how did he become a steward?" ”

Gao Zhengmao said: "There are 1,135 miners and 897 craftsmen in the silver factory, and more than 2,000 people are responsible for all the processes of the entire silver factory from mining to beneficiation, crushing to grinding and finally smelting blister copper, and it is impossible for all of them to be managed by 28 people from Lantian County.

Therefore, let the craftsmen and miners here select some stewards by themselves, and this Sun Dacai became the steward in this way.

The old man thought that Sun Dacai was also a member of the nearby clan, and after investigation, he found out that this person was a homeless person, but he was clever and spent money like running water, and he used some small favors to buy a lot of people, and then he was selected as the leader.

He said that the labor cost of going down to the pit was high, so he sent more people down. ”

"What about this man?" Yun Zhao asked lightly.

Xu Wu, who came back with these people, thought: "They all hid in the exploration pit and refused to come out. ”

"Them?"

"Returning to the county, when the people of Gao Ju cooperated with me to screen the miners and craftsmen one by one, Sun Dacai led a group of people to seize the walled city behind the silver factory, and after we broke it, they drilled into a pit and resisted stubbornly.

Uncle Leopard was worried about the danger of exploring the pit, so he did not send someone to attack it. ”

Yun Zhao looked at the ragged miners and craftsmen and sighed and said, "Sixty-three lives, how can they hide in the exploration pit?" ”

Xu Wu thought and said: "As far as we know from our investigation in the past few days, it is not only Sun Dacai who has a problem, but even the Guanlong swordsmen we hired to protect the walled city also have problems, when I arrived at the Baiyinchang Walled City, Zhou Cheng, the leader of the swordsmen, actually guarded the head of the city and did not allow us to enter, and after we braved the rain of arrows to tear down the outer wall of the walled city with hook locks, they disappeared." ”

Yun Zhao shook his head slightly and said, "Stupid guy, you hurt my sixty-three subordinates, do you think you can escape punishment by disappearing?"

What about Yun Fang? He's not doing a good job as a big shopkeeper, a good silver factory has been made into a sieve, but he doesn't know anything, he can't do it if he doesn't come forward! ”

Xu Wuxiang sighed and beckoned, and immediately a miner walked in with a stretcher, Yun Fang, who was lying on the stretcher, saw Yun Zhao and struggled to sit up, so he heard Yun Zhao say coldly: "Lie down, reply to my words, and give these miners and craftsmen who have no relatives an answer." ”

Yun Fang, who was thin and only had a handful of bones left, said weakly: "Back to the head of the family, everything is Yun Fang's fault, I only thought about asking the miners, the craftsmen want more copper, and I didn't treat them as people, it's all Yun Fang's fault, I shouldn't just focus on the output."

Let Sun Dacai and Zhou Cheng take advantage of the loopholes, and the fault is me, I just ask the head of the family to dispose of Yunfang alone for the sake of my hard work for a few years, and don't implicate too much.

These miners and craftsmen are all good, and they are willing to work hard and obedient on weekdays, and if it were not for the wicked people, they would not have gathered to make trouble. ”

Those miners and craftsmen heard that Yun Fang was still talking to them at this moment, and they all lowered their heads and whispered to defend Yun Fang.

Gao Zhengmao said: "County Zun, listen to these people, the cloud shopkeeper is in the workshop day and night on weekdays, and you also know that smelting copper is equivalent to refining money, and when copper is produced, the most unclean hands and feet are those swordsmen."

To put it mildly, some people will even stuff the copper bars containing gold and silver that appear in the copper smelting process into the valley road and take them away...... It is impossible to prevent it, and the cloud shopkeeper must personally watch it so that there will be no mistakes.

Therefore, when there was such a big thing as sixty-three human lives, these people did not embarrass the cloud shopkeeper too much, but just locked them up in the mine to eat and drink, and never thought of harming them.

When Sun Dacai, Zhou Cheng and others saw that the army was beginning to attack the city, and wanted to force the army to retreat with the cloud shopkeeper and others, it was also this group of people who desperately beat away those swordsmen and Sun Dacai, and six people died for this.

The county honor, the fault is not in the cloud shopkeeper, nor in these coolies, but in Sun Dacai and Zhou Cheng, these dog thieves.

Please bring them to justice, punish them clearly, and give them a precept for those who come after! ”

Yun Zhao looked at Gao Zhengmao in a daze, listening to the group of miners, the roar of the craftsmen who wanted to tear apart Sun Dacai, Zhou Cheng and others.

sighed and said: "Hold people high, do you have the heart to join the ranks in my Lantian County?" ”

Gao Zhengmao straightened his back and said loudly: "The old body, although it is weak, can have a bucket of rice and ten catties of meat, and it is the duty of the family to protect the people and the old decay!" ”

Yun Zhao said with a smile: "The subordinate officials of Lantian County have never had a precedent for being officials locally, and people can enter Guanzhong as officials, and Guanzhong will also send people to seek a position in this Longzhong." ”

Gao Zhengmao hugged his fists and said: "I, Gao, will definitely fully support it!" ”
