Chapter 120 No Voice, No Investigation

Yun Zhao's line was placed in Tiaocheng on the edge of the Yellow River.

This is not so much a city as a large village with earthen enclosures.

When the Yellow River flows through here, the water is turbulent and cannot be frozen, so in the dry yellow world, there is a blue river.

The water of the Yellow River is not always yellow, it is very clear in winter, and when you get closer, you will find that the whole river is like a jade belt made of jade liquid that can flow.

When Yun Zhao and his entourage arrived at Tiaocheng, the women in the city, young and strong, had already gone up the mountain, and Yun Zhao could even use binoculars to see them guarding the shelter on the cliff, looking at the city vigilantly.

There were only a few old and weak people left in the city, some expressionless old men with small feet, and old women in thick black cotton jackets leaning against the wall and basking in the sun.

For life and death...... They don't care, and he has nothing to lose.

There are still people who know this point, chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep, cows, horses, mules and donkeys are all nowhere to be found, so Yun Zhao has to eat the dry food he brought.

Seeing those old people looking at them with cloudy eyes, some of the Yun clan's disciples habitually distributed the dry food from their mouths to that group of people.

Somehow, there are more and more old men and women who have gathered.

Seeing that Yun Zhao waved his hand, the man simply took a pot of mutton soup and a stack of dry pot helmets to the crowd, and handed it to one of the most imposing old men among them, and he distributed it.

After the meal was over, Yun Zhao asked the man to find the most imposing old man to come over for questioning.

Looking at the calluses on the old man's index and middle fingers, Yun Zhao smiled and said, "The old man is a scholar? ”

The old man arched his hand and said: "Jiajing is in the twenty-third year of Jiachen!" ”

Yun Zhao was taken aback, got up again and saluted: "Lantian County, Shaanxi Province Ling Yunzhao has seen Brother Nian, and he dares to ask Brother Nian's name!" ”

When the old man heard that Yun Zhao was a county order, he also stood up, and arched his hand towards Yun Zhao and said: "The old man is tall and Zhengmao, the words are gorgeous, and I have seen the county honor." ”

After the two talked about the New Year, they sat down again.

It can be seen that after learning that Yun Zhao was a scholar and was born as a prisoner of Nanjing Guozi, his demeanor immediately changed.

Perhaps because of many years of studying, a rickety old farmer has the confidence that a reader should have in an instant.

He thought to himself that Yun Zhao, the prisoner, was no better than him, so the hand holding the teacup was no longer trembling.

"I never thought that there would be a lost pearl in the literary world in this deserted place, Yunzhao Menglang."

Gao Zhengmaopin took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Yunxian Zun is indeed Meng Lang, but not to the old Meng Lang, but to the Gao clan Meng Lang in Tiaocheng, and to this Gao clan Meng Lang who is a four-jinshi and a six-man man in two generations." ”

Yun Zhao arched his hand and said: "Then I will go to the lintel of the Gao family to ask for guilt." ”

Gao Zhengmao smiled bitterly and said: "The people of the Gao family have all become cavemen now, and the county has this heart, and the Gao family may not have the courage." ”

Yun Zhao laughed and said: "Lantian County has strict laws, and there will never be anything that disturbs the people. ”

Gao Zhengmao said with a smile: "This is going to be done by the Labor County Zun himself." ”

Yun Zhao looked at Gao Zhengmao and said, "The old man doesn't seem to have something to say. ”

Gao Zhengmao said: "This forty miles is the famous Lantian County belongs to the silver factory, the nearby Thai half of the people work in the silver factory, the mining disaster, the fall of sixty-three people, the crowd is excited, plus the people here are fierce, if the county is strong, there will be serious casualties."

Even if the county is heroic and puts down this rebellion, if Lantian County still wants to get involved in the silver factory in the future, it will be in constant trouble and there will be no peace.

If the county respects the Gao clan of our city, it can smoothly quell the disaster, and the silver factory will also benefit the township, without worries. ”

Yun Zhao looked at Gao Zhengmao in surprise and said, "Is it because of the pot of mutton soup just now?" ”

Gao Zhengmao laughed and said: "Exactly, exactly, I want to add this bowl of Biluochun." ”

Yun Zhao Zhengse said: "Please ask ......"

Gao Zhengmao also sat up straight and said to Yun Zhao seriously: "A day ago, a strong cavalry passed through Tiaocheng, and when everyone in my Gao clan was in danger, the cavalry crossed the city and went straight to the silver factory without disturbing the people.

By yesterday evening, news came from the silver factory that the cavalry had attacked the city, but they did not kill or injure anyone, but only dragged the walled wall with hook locks.

The old man doesn't know what the situation is now, but when the county comes, it is impossible for the county to not know the connection between Tiaocheng and the silver factory, stationed in Tiaocheng, and still has no offense in autumn, and also gives lamb food and stays behind the lonely old.

Only these two points, the old man knew that the county was an official, not a martial artist, and he came to the silver factory thousands of miles away to kill all those miners and craftsmen.

The old man was treated leniently by the county, and the silver factory has a lot of children of my Gao family, the old man has seen the county respected soldiers and horses, so he naturally does not want the children of the Gao family to suffer, and naturally wants to find a way for the people there. ”

Yun Zhao sighed and said, "If you want to say that my Lantian County Silver Factory manager cares about people's lives, I still don't believe it." ”

Gao Zhengmao hugged his fists and said: "Fifteen yuan a day, four hundred and fifty yuan a month, three years have been the same, and there is no half of the waste."

A load of wheat is four taels of silver, a load of millet is three taels of silver, a load of buckwheat is one or two seven dollars of silver, and the rest of the miscellaneous goods are the same, and there is no arrears between the goods and the silver factory, or they are filled with variegated silver, one hand is delivered, the other hand is paid, and Tong Su is not deceived, which is the first time that the old decay has been waiting for twenty years as an alternate official in Tiaocheng. ”

Yun Zhao sighed and said, "Since the silver factory's retention of Tiaocheng is of great benefit to the villagers here, why is there such a thing of kidnapping people and gathering people to rebel?"

To put it unfairly, but if it is reasonable, in Tiaocheng, the salary of fifteen dollars a day, what do the old people think? ”

Gao Zhengmao sighed slightly and said: "If it is just to exert strength, such wages are high, and if you add the money for selling your life, these wages are a little low."

Lao Yu understood the meaning of the county's words, do you mean that there is a life money in the middle of these fifteen dollars, and the high wage price of the silver factory in Lantian County has bought out the lives of these absentees, and if there is a mining disaster, you should take compensation and shut up, and continue to work hard for Lantian County. ”

Listening to the old Confucian words, Yun Zhao couldn't answer confidently after all, although it was said that Longzhong was barren and bitter in the world, although it was said that Longzhong was in constant war and bandits, but after all, he couldn't say that he could buy people's lives with money.

Gao Zhengmao saw that Yun Zhao was no longer talking, and said again: "Can the county know that most of the pits of the silver factory are open-pit mining?"

Although there are not many mines, and most of them are caves, that is, the mines that explore the direction of the ore veins, although such a mine is deep but also narrow, the lives of people in Longzhong are poor, even if human lives are like ants, a small exploration hole is stuffed into sixty-three people at a time, doesn't the county think it is strange? ”

Yun Zhao was stunned when he heard this, he really didn't take into account the matter of the pit and the mine, and thought that copper mining here was no different from coal mining, digging a hole, and people would drill into it and carry the ore out.

He never thought that copper mining was digging a hole in the ground! ”

Yun Zhao glanced back at the Yun clan's steward who had left in Tianshui.

The steward immediately stepped forward and said: "The silver factory is indeed open-pit mining, although there are caves, it will be closed after the direction of the ore veins is discovered.

There are only three caverns in use today!

Digging such a mine usually only requires six people, otherwise the gas in it will not be enough for people to breathe, and the mine is the most dangerous after it is dug.

At this time, the people who enter the mine are generally not more than three people, a master, with two apprentices, the master determines the direction of the ore vein, and the little apprentice is responsible for carrying the ore samples. ”

Yun Zhao's expression was gloomy, and he said to his soldiers: "Tell Xu Wuxiang of this news." ”

Gao Zhengmao waited for Yun Zhao to finish his instructions, and then arched his hand and said: "Please go to the cliff with the old man to invite the head of the Gao family to come down the mountain and discuss this matter."

The old man thinks that my Gao family children and even the people who work in the silver factory have no intention of confronting Lantian County, they are just being bewitched by others and doing foolish things in a panic.

As long as the county lord and the head of the Gao family go to the silver factory together, they will definitely be able to get to the bottom of these man-made things! ”

Yun Zhao arched his hand and said, "I'm tired." ”

After speaking, Yun Zhao glanced at the clouded leopard coldly, and the clouded leopard nodded, and left Tiaocheng with a hundred cavalry, and went straight to the silver factory.

Yun Zhao's cold eyes had already explained everything, and he wanted to find out the cause of this incident thoroughly.
