Chapter 134 Little Thoughts
"Is there something wrong with the copper and iron furnace?" Ju Zizhou asked in the quilt and looked at the book.
Mo Zheli sat opposite Ju Zizhou, feeling a little discouraged.
He raised his head and looked at the environment inside the room.
A charcoal basin, a desk, a short couch, and a small bed.
It is so simple that even the slightly richer farmer can't bear to look at it...
It is hard to imagine that a talented person as dignified as Ju Zizhou would be willing to surrender here.
"Mr. Ju...you live here..." Li frowned: "Students can pay for another place for you!"
"No need." Ju Zizhou finished reading his plan and threw Shu Jian into the charcoal basin, looked up and asked, "Tell me carefully and see what happened to the copper and iron furnace. It has made all the busy people like you come to me."
"It's... the epidemic." Li Qiang said: "Sir..."
"Plague?" Ju Zizhou's face changed: "Then why are you here to do to me? Why don't you go and look for a doctor!"
"It's not a plague..." Li quickly defended: "Sir, don't be anxious, the student will tell you in detail..."
"That's it... After the King of Qin asked you to leave the copper and iron furnace, the situation and treatment of our Mozhe and some skilled goldsmiths in the Shaofu were improved, but the wages of the workers below were reduced. The above meaning was to make the workers have no spare money and no other intentions..."
"Save wages, increase burdens, speed up progress, and lay off rest time?" Ju Zizhou sighed: "Didn't the workers make trouble?"
"What's the matter?" Li was a little puzzled: "Although there were some complaints, there were a lot of meat added to their food at the construction site..."
"How long can they do a day now?" Ju Zizhou asked.
“Eight hours.”
"Do your best?" Ju Zizhou asked again.
Li thought for a moment: "Only more or less."
Ju Zizhou pursed his lips.
“Where is the monthly rest time?”
"It's cut." Li said immediately.
"If you say so... you won't even give me a bath for three days?"
"I changed to bathing every ten days. Oh, now in the middle of winter, there is no natural hot spring near you, and bathing is very easy to get sick, so it is once a month." Li said.
He didn't think there was any big problem.
Or, he, like everyone in the copper and iron furnace, did not think there was any big problem.
On the contrary, this is a behavior that conforms to Qin's consistent "value concepts".
To the people below, you must be a little more ruthless.
Like the ones Ju Zizhou did in the past, I personally think there is something wrong with me, but I personally think it is too loose.
Ju Zizhou shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Then how many workers have died now?"
"More than forty people!" Li hesitated and sighed again: "At that time, Chuchu discovered the problem, only one person died. The man named Gou, who was working at the time, suddenly fell to his head and saw no blood. However, he died." Li was covered in sorrow: "Then after a few days, he was asymptomatic and died eleven people at once."
"These days... more than 30 more people have died one after another..." Li sighed: "After the lunch ceremonies the day before yesterday, the student went to ask the Imperial Medical Order to help with the diagnosis, but the Imperial Medical Order said, "No illness."
Of course there is no illness!
Ju Zizhou's eyes were cold.
"But..." Li sighed bitterly: "This epidemic does not seem to be contagious to others... At least, we, the goldsmiths of the Shaofu, and the washing women of the farmers' association, have no signs of being infected... Is there any way to do this?"
"Of course there is a way." Ju Zizhou looked at Li: "But can you do it?"
"Sir, please teach me!" Li immediately bowed.
"Treat them as individuals, treat them as individuals. The fire of the big furnace is hot, and you know that it's enough to teach them to work four or five hours a day. Eight hours, death is certain..."
Li looked confused: "But sir, it's time to fight. The king's order should be used as soon as possible..."
"There is only a way to summon workers." Ju Zizhou looked at Li coldly.
Li was a little disappointed: "Sir seems to know about this disease..."
"You worked too much, felt depressed, and the environment was harsh. You wouldn't be able to raise the little meat you rewarded. If you die, what's there to make a fuss about?" Ju Zizhou sneered: "On the contrary, it's more abnormal to not die."
"The dead are the lazy people who work the hardest and do the least knowledgeable, right?" Ju Zizhou asked.
Gou, the young man who personally introduced the copper and iron furnace...
"This... sir is indeed very knowledgeable. Please teach me a way to make some remedies!" Li said this, but he was reluctant to believe that Ju Zizhou had no choice. So he paused and made a full gesture, wanting to find a good way to solve the difficulties he encountered.
Ju Zizhou no longer looked at him, but just looked at the charcoal basin in front of him.
In the basin, the bamboo slips burn quietly, and the cowhide rope exudes a fragrance, like an iron stove roasting flesh and blood, which is tempting.
...
"Chen He." Ying Zheng looked at Chen He, the wanderer who had been away for a long time, and sat down, and said, "Do you wish to die for me?"
Chen He was excited. He looked at Ying Zheng, and no matter what, he could not imagine that he could still see the crown prince.
After being raised as a porcine dog for so long, Chen He thought his ambition had been wiped out.
But today, when Ying Zheng secretly summoned, Chen He suddenly became excited.
Only then did he realize that his passion is still there!
My wish to shine my family is still there!
"I wish to die for the prince!" Chen He held a bronze sword in his hand.
Ying Zheng saw the bronze sword in Chen He's hand at a glance.
It was his sword, but it was sold to Chen He by Ju Zizhou as a teaching aid.
That bastard...
Ying Zheng gritted his teeth: "Go and kill a few people for me."
"Who do the prince want me to kill?" Chen He looked like he was driven.
"Do you still remember the six Confucians who stayed in Nulu with you?" Ying Zheng asked, "Do you have the courage to kill these six people?"
"Crown Prince?" Chen He looked up in shock.
We have been shopping together for more than a year, and although we don’t deal with it, we will definitely be fine if we get along well with each other.
It was precisely because of his familiarity that Chen He was particularly surprised.
Those six people are the team of Ying Zheng who knows the truth!
Chen He didn't understand why Ying Zheng wanted to kill them himself.
Is he crazy if he even kills his own people?
Ying Zheng did not explain, and Chen He was disdainful of his questions: "Why, don't you dare?"
Chen He gritted his teeth.
I want to shine on my lintel.
He lowered his head: "Of course I dare!"
Those six fools have always looked down on Mr. Nai!
"It would be best if you dare to do it." Ying Zheng nodded, very satisfied.
It seems that the senior brother has a good vision, and this sword... is worth it.
"Your Highness, Prince." Chen He suddenly lowered his head: "I want to ask you something."
"Tell me." Ying Zheng said casually.
"My friend, Ju Zizhou, brother Ju, and His Highness, who entered the palace with you, know where he is now?" Chen He asked.
The ink master took two steps back calmly.
Ying Zheng's face suddenly became cold: "What did you ask him for?"
"He is my good friend and is quite brave. I am thinking... If he helps me, I will definitely be able to kill the six-destined Confucian insect as soon as possible." Chen He looked at the bronze sword in his hand and said tremblingly.
Such a thing should be considered a credit, right?
Chen He was nervously waiting for Ying Zheng to speak.
"He is dead. He was talking nonsense when eating fish not long ago and was stuck in death by the stabbing." Ying Zheng said coldly.
