"You are all students of the academy. You should be knowledgeable and polite. Why do you gather people to cause trouble and roar at the county government?" Han Wen asked with a stern face. As the county magistrate, he must first show his majesty and make the students have some scruples.
This will help solve the problem.
The three student members looked at each other, and Wang Shengxian stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, this happened all because of the students. It was the student's brother who was killed in the gold mine collapse. All students want to seek justice for the student's brother. Yes.
Then go to the county government to complain."
"Oh, you are the worker whose brother died." Han Wen nodded, "I just heard about the accident in the gold mine. I express my deepest condolences for your brother's misfortune, and I hope you will forgive me and help you in the future."
Your brother should take good care of his family."
"Thank you, Lord County." Wang Shengxian bowed and thanked him, then returned to his companion.
"This mining accident caused the death of five miners. This county is deeply saddened. I have just ordered the households to prepare silver coins to use to compensate the families of the deceased miners. I wonder if the three living members have any advice on the issue of compensation?" Korean
road.
Peng Shiji said: "Your Majesty, we have already inquired with the miners. This mining disaster was all caused by the eunuch Chang Wu who wasted no time on human life. He ignored the safety of the miners in the cave and ordered the excavation to be accelerated. After the mining disaster, Chang Wu only gave every victim
The miners were compensated with five taels of silver, which shows how low human life is in the eyes of this eunuch..."
"Mr. Peng Sheng, be careful what you say." Han Wen said, "Eunuch Chang is the mine supervisor sent by the emperor. You must not speak rudely."
"Student knows his mistake." Peng Shiji nodded. He said he knew his mistake, but there was no sign of remorse on his face. Scholars have always looked down on eunuchs, especially eunuchs with a poor reputation like Chang Wu.
Among the students, he was always called a vertical eunuch. Peng Shiji was used to saying it, so he blurted it out at this time. Han Wen scolded him like this, but he didn't feel that he had done anything wrong. He knew that Han Wen said this just because of him.
As a county magistrate, you can't slander eunuchs in public. In a private situation, maybe the Korean language would be spoken one by one.
"As for the pension, I plan to refer to the imperial court's standards for pensions for fallen soldiers and add a few more. An additional 20 taels of silver will be added to each dead miner. Do you think this is acceptable?" Seeing that the workers were silent, Han Wen simply stated his conditions.
20 taels of silver per person is a reasonable compensation standard. I believe everyone has nothing to say.
The three people looked at each other again, and Wang Shengxian said: "Thank you, Lord County, the students have no objection to this, but whether other families accept it, I have to ask the students."
"Okay." Han Wen said, "I also know that no amount of money can buy back the lives of your loved ones. The money just represents some of the wishes of the county. The county hopes that after the compensation, you will not have any more troubles about this matter.
It’s a minor detail, after all, people cannot be resurrected after death, what do you think?”
Both Wang Shengxian and Peng Shiji remained silent. Cheng Dong clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, the students came to the county office this time to ask the County Lord to provide justice. There are two kinds of justice. One is to provide compensation to the miners who died. Just now
The students have no objection to what the county magistrate said. But for the second matter, the students would like to ask the county magistrate to continue to make decisions for the people."
Han Wen said expressionlessly: "Mr. Cheng, please speak."
Cheng Dong said: "This mining disaster is an unreasonable disaster for the people of Fengcheng County. Fengcheng County has never had the reputation of gold mining. If it hadn't been for the Soviet Union to change it for his own selfish interests, he would find gold mines and dedicate them to Chang Dong."
Eunuch, what happened today?"
"You mean, Su Hao is the culprit of this matter?" Han Wen asked slightly surprised. He had heard the students shouting slogans such as polite scum before, but he never expected that Cheng
Dong Dong is actually a member of the anti-Soviet faction, and looking at his attitude, he is quite active in anti-Soviet style.
The Cheng Dong siblings were brought back to the county by Han Qian at the request of Su Hao. Han Qian asked Fang Mengjin to introduce Cheng Dong to Longguang Academy, and she also polished her Korean skills to keep Cheng Yi in the county government office as a cook. All of this
Everything was done for Su Hao's sake, and Han Wen knew all this. According to Han Wen's imagination, Cheng Dong should regard Su Hao as his benefactor, but who would have expected that he would point the finger directly at Su Hao at this time,
What is the reason for this?
"The students just stated the truth and did not mean to target anyone." Cheng Dong said, "Chang Wu has been searching for gold in Jiangxi for many years. Other counties have never heard of gold mining, except Fengcheng County.
Within a few days, a gold mine was found and presented to Chang Wu. In Cheng Dong's humble opinion, it was not that there were no such talented people in other counties who could find gold mines, but that they were unwilling to succumb to power.
, trapping the people in water and fire. This Su Hao is called a scholar, and in order to seek superiority, he does not hesitate to do this and donate money. It is really a shame for a scholar!"
No way! Han Wen shouted in his heart, you don't mean to target anyone, you are clearly determined to blackmail Su Hao, how much hatred do you have to have with him!
From Han Qian, Han Wen learned that Cheng Yi had left the county government and worked as the chief accountant of Su Hao's coal mine. This was a very good job. Han Qian once brought Cheng Yi home to play, and Han Wen also
When I saw it, I found that Cheng Yi was fatter than when she was a cook, and her complexion was much better. Especially the light flowing in her eyes showed that she was living a comfortable life and in a happy mood now. Compared with the past when she was growing crops in the countryside,
In the days when she had to support her family on two acres of thin farmland, she was finally out of the sea of misery.
Looking at Cheng Dong again, the clothes he was wearing were obviously much better than when he first came from the countryside. The academy only provided him with food and drink, and Cheng Yi had obviously bought the clothes for him. And Cheng Yi could help with the money.
The younger brother's making of new clothes was also due to Su Hao's help. In other words, whether it was from his sister's side or from his own side, Cheng Dong should think of Su Hao's kindness.
As the county magistrate, Han Wen certainly could not question Cheng Dong in court as to why he repaid kindness with enmity, nor could he even go too far to excuse Su Hao. He knew the cause and effect of Su Hao's search for gold mines. It was obvious that Su Hao had no idea of following others.
In order to relieve the people of Fengcheng from the burden of mining taxes. But he couldn't say it clearly. The shortcomings of eunuchs were, to put it bluntly, a system problem. As a member of the system, how could he say so to a group of students?
Do you understand?
"Mr. Cheng Sheng is serious." Han Wen said, "Su Hao is a workshop master hired by this county. Prospecting is his duty. The mine supervisor is often ordered by the court to come to prospect for ores. If there is no gold mine in Fengcheng, there will be no gold mines.
That's all, since there is indeed a gold mine, if we knew about it and failed to report it, it would be a serious crime of deceiving the emperor. What Su Hao did was his duty, and Mr. Cheng cannot maliciously blame it."
Cheng Dong said: "As far as the students know, on the day Eunuch Chang arrived in Fengcheng, Su Hao took people to Yuanli Village and found the gold mine within two days. How can this be explained by ordinary duties? If he has no desire
If you want to make progress, you can delay it for a while, thinking that Eunuch Chang has nothing to say, so why is it happening today?"
"Let's stop this matter!" Han Wen patted the table lightly, with a displeased look on his face. Previously, he had a boss opinion of Su Hao because of Han Qian's incident, but when he heard Cheng Dong treat Su Hao like this,
Despite the stalking, he was still annoyed.
Putting his children's affairs aside, Su Hao can be regarded as the number one in the county government when it comes to working hard. He dug wells to fight drought, promoted firewood-saving stoves, improved low-yielding fields, and now he is planning a reservoir in Luoshan, so
Where can I find people who work diligently? Cheng Dong poured dirty water on Su Hao without hesitation, which made Han Wenqing feel embarrassed.
"What do you two think of what Cheng Shengyuan said?" Han Wen asked.
Wang Shengxian and Peng Shiji replied at the same time: "We all agree with what Cheng Dong said. Gold mining is a harm to the people. The county leader should persuade Eunuch Chang to abandon it. As for Su Hao, he is the initiator of the gold mining. If not
An explanation will probably make it difficult for the people to quell their resentment."
"Haha, who is the initiator?" Han Wen laughed angrily. He really had nothing to say to these offenders. He could only ask with a smile: "In your opinion, how should this county deal with Su Hao?"
, can we have an explanation to the people?"
"Remove the reputation of a scholar, drive him out of the county government, and never use it again. This is a warning to all the scholars in the world." Cheng Dong said first.
"Is this a request of all your students?" Han Wen asked, looking at Wang Shengxian and Peng Shiji.
Wang Shengxian hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, this Su reformer is proficient in the Western Yi method of studying things, and Wu Jiaoyu also appreciates him quite a bit. In the opinion of the students, it is a bit heavy to remove him from his honorary title, but he is exempted from it."
It is still appropriate for an envoy in the county government to order him to study hard in an academy and change his mind. With Su Gai's talents, if he can change his past mistakes and study the ways of saints with concentration, he can still become a pillar of the country in the future."
"Yeah." Han Wen nodded. This can be regarded as an opinion. It seems that Su Hao has not offended everyone. He turned to Peng Shiji and asked: "Member Peng Sheng, what is your opinion?"
Peng Shiji said: "Students have always admired the Soviet Union's method of investigating things. However, the donation of gold mines to eunuch Chang showed that he had gone astray. The county respected the intention of caring for talents and ordered him to return to the academy and close the door.
It’s better to study.”
"Okay, how about we listen to Su Gaizhi's own thoughts on this matter?" Han Wen said. He was too lazy to defend Su Hao, so he should let Su Hao listen to the voices of the students. Su Hao is now
He is so arrogant that he dares to refuse the marriage offered by the magistrate of the county. It is time for him to be hit and understand what is going on with him.
Thinking of this, Han Wen turned to Fang Mengjin who was standing aside and said, "Mr. Fang, could you please make a trip and ask Su Gaizhi to come to the county office for a reply. Mr. Fang can first explain to him what is going on here.
Second, let him know what to do."
"Yes!" Fang Mengjin bowed and agreed, then turned around and went out to find Su Hao.
There was no need to let someone like Fang Mengjin go when someone came to the county government to speak, but Han Wen was worried that when Su Hao came over for a while, he would not be able to weigh the importance and say the wrong thing, which would cause trouble.
Unnecessary trouble. Let Fang Mengjin deliver the message. Fang Mengjin will naturally give Su Hao secret instructions first, telling him what should be said and what should not be said. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature for better and updated novels.
