Chapter 23: How to Deal with Troubles (1)
It was already late at night, and Han Gang was still waiting for the statistical report of Chengxi Hospital.
The lights in the study were always on, and after hearing the news, Han Gang did not immediately come back from the racecourse outside the city, but asked He Ju to go to the scene to confirm. After getting a more detailed report from He Ju, he sent Han Xin to inform the Chengxi Hospital, so that they were ready to receive the wounded, and asked Han Xin to stay there and deliver the news in the center.
According to Hanoka's charter, it is the responsibility of the Department of Health and Welfare and its dispatched agencies to dispatch additional medical personnel to treat them and to keep statistics on the number of casualties in the event of any large-scale casualty caused by a disaster or accident in the local area.
However, this was supposed to be a clear confirmation of the responsibility of the previous Department of Health and Welfare in natural disasters, and by the way, an accidental casualty was added, but I didn't expect it to come in handy so soon.
He Ju stood opposite Han Gang, and Han Gang asked him to sit down, but he still insisted on standing. Hanging his head, a sad face was placed in front of Han Gang.
Although the number of dead and wounded has not been confirmed, more than 100 is certain, and by the time He Ju came to report, it was already certain that there were 10 dead, and 10 times as many wounded.
On one side is a door frame made of wooden tenons, and behind it there is a net with balls in it. The course is divided in two by a line in the center of the course, and the tee off is right in the middle of the line. A letter incense used for timing is lit to determine the time of the race. Kemari is as simple as that. There are no goalkeepers, no offsides, no penalty areas or anything, just rules prohibiting arms and hands from touching the air. There are also red and yellow cards, which are used to punish players who maliciously hurt others. And the problem happened with a red card.
This is a match between the Cotton Bank Xilefeng team and the Fuqing team of Jingbei Second Carriage First Fang Fuqing Fang, both teams have hopes of competing for a playoff ticket, so the result of this game will largely determine the final ranking of this sub-division in Xiangfu County.
Disaster struck after the end of the game. In this game, the Xilefeng team won by a large score, but in the middle of the game, the referee sent off a main player of the Fuqing team. Therefore, the worst result aroused the anger of the supporters of the Fuqing team. From the quarrel, to the throwing of debris and stones, to the brawl on the court, and finally to the riot that spread throughout the court, it took only half an hour.
Han Gang looked down at the book, and the faint yellow candlelight shone on the manuscript in his hand.
Instead of the old candlestick shrouded in a gauze shroud, the light on Han Gang's desk was a transparent glass cover, and the unobstructed light was brighter, and the handwriting on the book was clearer. However, Han Gang was not prepared to let the workshop in Longxi make a large number of candlesticks made of glass lampshades, what he hoped to see was a kerosene lamp, and it was the kind of kerosene lamp that glowed more steadily in later generations and would not leak oil due to shaking. The glass workshop in his hometown is now gathering first-class craftsmen to develop according to Hangang's requirements. Maybe in a year or two, we will see results.
He flipped through the pages of the book, but he didn't read much, for today's tragedy, it really made him regret a little, if only he had persevered more.
"If only the race had been played on a racetrack." Han Gang suddenly put down the book and sighed loudly.
The smile squeezed out of He Ju's face was more ugly than crying, "The two families couldn't get along from the beginning, where would I have thought that there would be today." At the beginning, Feng Dongzhu also mentioned this matter in the two societies, but both sides had a view of the door and refused to agree. ”
"This is not the opinion of the portal......," Han Gang shook his head, "I am afraid that my share of money will be shortened." ”
In the end, it's all about profit.
Hangang had the intention of putting the two events on the same field to create a comprehensive stadium. The open space in the racecourse can also be used as a venue for Kemari races - but not the other way around, the racecourse requires far more land than the Kemari race field, and there are several open spaces in the city that can be used as a stadium, but the racecourse can only be arranged outside the city - the huge field cannot be wasted, and the open space in the middle of the racecourse can be converted into a Kemari course. Anyway, the requirements for the field in today's competitions are not as strict as those in later generations, and a piece of flat land is no problem whether it is for horses or people.
There's a lot of money in Tokyo, and it's not much better outside the city, and the prices are just a little cheaper. To buy an extra piece of land, you will have to spend tens of thousands of dollars more. It is enough to borrow a racecourse and pay some rent. Whether it's horse racing or Keju, in fact, they are all profitable transactions, and in Han Gang's view, it is a little bit that can be saved, and there is no need to waste it. In between horse races, using Keju racing as a cushion is a good thing for both parties.
It's just that Han Gang didn't expect the view of the portal to be so deep-rooted, and the Horse Racing Headquarters refused to borrow the racecourse for Keju Race, and the Qiyun Headquarters also warned everyone not to have anything to do with the Horse Racing Headquarters. The two associations, which came from the same source, turned out to be enemies in the ring. Feng Congyi tried his best beside him, but he could only watch the two sides become enemies, and he couldn't twist it over.
However, at that time, in Han Gang's opinion, it was just a small episode, whether it was contention or peace, whether the relationship between the two associations was harmonious or not, it was not in Han Gang's consideration. Sports such as horse racing and kemari were able to be organized and formalized all over the world, and this was Hangang's victory. Who would have thought that the problems in the field would cause such a big casualty at the least.
There are many exits to the racecourse, and due to the existence of the central box, the stands are divided into two parts, which can completely separate the fans of the two teams. However, most of the other Kemari stadiums are school grounds for military exercises, so it is impossible to change the venue, and if thousands of spectators riot, the damage caused cannot be stopped.
It was an unbelievable disaster, and if it was just a brawl, it would not have hurt so much, and after the commotion, the stampede killed and injured the vast majority due to the panic in the crowd.
Regarding this matter, Kaifeng Mansion should have received the news as soon as possible, but so far, Han Gang has not received a report from Kaifeng Mansion that has reacted to this matter.
"I don't know what to do with Kaifeng Mansion?" He Ju asked Han Gang in a low voice.
"It happened outside of Tokyo and belongs to Xiangfu Prefecture. After all, it's a layer apart. It is not as good as the city, which is directly managed by the Kaifeng Mansion. At most, Kaifeng Mansion will only send someone to Xiangfu County now, and instruct the county to sort out the whole matter and then report it. Qian Zao also took time to understand the background of Qiyun Headquarters. ”
He Ju could hear the faint anger in Han Gang's words, and directly called the name of the current Kaifeng prefect, did not dare to say more, and bowed his head and waited for Han Gang's instructions.
Han Gang is indeed a little faintly angry, Kaifeng Mansion collects more than 10,000 taxes and fees from Qiyun Headquarters every year, and the benefits of Kaifeng Mansion are more than ten times, now that something happens, no matter from which angle it should not sit idly by, it is a good thing for the league and the victims to take the disposal of the whole matter into Kaifeng Mansion as soon as possible, "Even if this incident happened under the rule of Xiangfu County, it was also in Kaifeng Mansion, and Qian Zao took over, and there were not too many problems." It can even be said that Xiangfu County is eager to hand over this hot chestnut to Kaifeng Mansion. But the appearance of Qian Zao, I definitely don't want to mix it up now. ”
"What do you think Duan Ming should do?"
"It goes without saying that murderers are punished by law, and troublemakers are severely punished. But what happened in the stadium was a match between the Xilefeng team and the Fuqing team, and the Qiyun headquarters was also inseparable. Han Gang narrowed his eyes, "Originally, there was a rule in the club that if the fans of any team made a mistake and interfered with the game, the team would be punished. This time, don't expect to get out and be ready for relegation. And in terms of human feelings, if you want to be successful, don't forget, it's the fans of the team who have accidents. ”
Although no one knows where the term fan comes from, and there are many new words in the Keju League, everyone has become accustomed to it after a few years, and it is easy to say.
He Ju is the chief executive of the capital and the agent of SF in the cotton industry, while the Xilefeng team is the image spokesperson of the cotton industry, and he is most concerned about the team's situation. Hearing Han Gang's words, he nodded yes, "The villain understands that there will be no less bereavement benefits." ”
"It's not a matter of money, it's a matter of human life that money can't buy, it's a question of people's hearts. Take the whole team to pay respects to the fans who have had an accident, compensate the injured, and ask someone to do a ritual at the beginning of the next game......"
Han Gang said, He Ju nodded and wrote them down one by one.
"Don't let me say anything, what do you do, how to soothe the hearts of the fans, you also have to think about it......" Han Gang shook his head, "But this time, I really can't say when the next game will be." He sighed and leaned back in his chair. It's not that I'm sorry for the game, but today's incident has exposed the hidden dangers in the safety of the Keju League.
"The villain will tell Duan Ming's instructions to the head office." He Ju nodded, indicating that he understood.
He understood that Han Gang wanted him to tell the leaders of the Qiyun Headquarters and their backstage that they should not be too anxious for money, otherwise the result would only be worse.
Without addressing the security hazards, the league cannot continue to be played. It is impossible for the Son of Heaven and the court to agree, no matter how deep the background of the Qiyun Headquarters is.
Due to the limited number of stadiums in and around Tokyo and the large number of teams, the stadium is basically shared by multiple teams. A division, i.e. a team in a box, will play in one or two stadiums. If the problem of the venue is not resolved, the same situation may happen in the future.
Over the past few years, the fans' feelings for the team have become deeper and deeper, and the money invested in it has become more and more numerous, and they have become extremely unable to accept the defeat situation, and the anger has become heavier and heavier. Han Gang would not be surprised by today's scene, sooner or later, it was even more expected.
Since previous years, there have been cases of supporters of the two opposing teams fighting each other before, after and during the game. In order to distinguish the fans of different teams, the two sides should be arranged clearly in the seats, and the Qiyun headquarters has formulated a lot of rules for this. Today's fans, even the clothes on their bodies are the same color as the teams they support, and they have begun to have logos, which on the one hand makes fans feel more deeply attached to the team, and on the other hand, it is easier to distinguish their identity. It's just that because of the problems on the field, the tragedy still hasn't been avoided.
