Thirty-nine people died, one hundred and twenty seriously injured, nearly two hundred were slightly injured, and more than twenty others were missing.

A disaster cast another dark cloud on Ji'an County and Yuzhou that had just flourished.

Too many families went to work in the mines, which suddenly caused nearly half of the people in the two places to lose their important labor force. More than 30 households were holding funerals, and the whole city was mourning.

Fortunately, all the seriously injured people were rescued. Except for those who died after they were rescued, none of them died of serious injuries. This made most of them very grateful to Feng Yuheng. They also saw that in order to save lives, Princess Ji'an and the Sixth Prince took all the medicinal materials of Baicaotang. Princess Ji'an personally drew blood for the blood donor with such a noble identity. Later, she personally participated in the rescue and followed the officers and soldiers to dig out of the mine.

Feng Yuheng held a collective funeral for all the victims after 72 hours of golden age, and continued to excavate the missing persons in the next few days. However, such a disaster was destined to be some corpses that could not be dug. People also knew in their hearts that it was actually death.

On the first seventh day, Feng Yuheng announced a compensation plan for all victims and seriously injured - each victim was compensated 2,000 taels of silver for one time; the seriously injured received free treatment from Baicaotang for life, and each person was compensated 1,000 taels of silver for one time; each person was compensated 300 taels of silver for one time except for the treatment of the minor injuries for free until it was intact; the missing persons were treated the same as the victims.

In today's era, this compensation is a sky-high price. Even the sixth prince Xuan Tianfeng was a little surprised when he heard it, and he smiled bitterly. His ninth brother and sister are really rich! Little did he know that Feng Yuheng's most lack of money now is money, because before she came out of the capital, she went to Prince Sheng's Mansion and the Eighth Prince's Party to rob her for a long time.

The people had a lot of resentment. Even if Baicaotang tried his best to treat it, their relatives would never come back. They didn’t know if the seriously injured could be healed. If it was not good, the family would lose important labor and bear the medicine money for the injured for the rest of their lives. It was no different from death.

However, when Feng Yuheng announced such a compensation plan, no matter how much people's resentment was gone, two thousand taels, one thousand taels, even if they were slightly injured, they would be given three hundred taels. Not to mention that they would not be able to make these money in their lifetime, even if the whole family worked for two or three lifetimes, they would not be able to make two thousand taels of silver! Princess Ji'an is so kind. This is the good princess who really cares about the people!

For a time, people began a new round of gratitude to Feng Yuheng, and the pain of losing their family was finally slightly calmed down. Feng Yuheng's aftermath was also done well. She investigated the families of the victims and seriously injured. If only the elderly left in the family, they would form a follow-up team, and they would come to the door to help with something every few days, buy some essential rice and grain to send, and absolutely ensure that these people could live a normal life.

A disaster finally came to an end, and people began to devote themselves to the follow-up work. Some continued to handle the funeral, some sorted out the mine and rebuilt temporary residences at the foot of the mountain. Something happened in the mine, and people were killed and injured, and there was not enough manpower, and they had to recruit again. However, this time, recruiting new products was very easy. Feng Yuheng's high compensation plan was equivalent to making a big advertisement for her mine, and people were willing to come here to work, because if something happened, at least their family members were guaranteed. To put it bluntly, it was nothing if they died. Two thousand taels of silver, and the family members could not use it even if they were lying down.

Feng Yuheng also had further contact with the miners through this disaster and got to know many people. Among them, a young man named Xu Jiang looked 25 or 26 years old. He looked very clever and was very smart. He could also recognize many words. He was very popular among the miners. This time he suffered only a few minor injuries, all skin injuries. After being treated by the doctor of Baicaotang, he was no longer hindered work. He also gave 300 taels of silver to those who had only suffered such minor injuries. He felt very sorry for Feng Yuheng, so he kept working hard, and wanted to do as much as possible to be worthy of the 300 taels of silver.

Feng Yuheng saw that this young man was really stupid and he was literate. The person in charge had passed away in this disaster, so she simply brought Xu Jiang up and asked him to be in charge of the mining factory in the future.

Xu Jiang didn't expect that he not only got the money but also got promoted. He was so excited that he kept kowtowing Feng Yuheng, and then solemnly promised her that he would handle the affairs of the mine well so that the princess could rest assured.

Feng Yuheng was not worried about anything. The mines on both sides were close to each other. She could come here often now. If Xu Jiang had not done enough at first, she could teach her step by step.

Many new miners have been recruited in recent days. Feng Yuheng has launched a contract system. Whether it is new or former miners, whether they are mining in the mountains, or ensuring logistics at the foot of the mountains, even those daughters-in-law and mother-in-law who cook and wash clothes are included. All mine workers have to sign labor contracts, and they have to write down everyone's information, the year of work, the monthly wages, the deduction for absences, the rewards for overtime work, and the benefits promised by the mine to everyone are clearly written on the contract. After signing, everything will be based on the contract provisions, and no one will be confused.

Because the mine is in Yuzhou, these contracts were taken to the Yuzhou Yamen to prepare for the case. Qian Fengshou actively cooperated. He thought this idea was really good, so he discussed with Feng Yuheng that he wanted to try to implement it in Yufu. Feng Yuheng also had this meaning, but Yuzhou was too big after all, and was under the jurisdiction of Dashun, so he was afraid that the promotion in Yuzhou would be boycotted by merchants. So after the two discussed, they decided to try to implement it in Ji'an County first. Feng Yuheng came forward, and the sixth prince Xuan Tianfeng took the lead and introduced the "contract system" from the county government, and ordered all merchants to accept it, and there was no room for negotiation. Merchants would have to sign such a contract from now on, and the contract would be registered in the county government government. Merchants who did not act according to the contract would be severely punished.

In Jun'an County, Feng Yuheng's words were imperial edicts. Even if the merchants were a little difficult to accept at the beginning, they had no other way. Who would have let their store open in Ji'an County? Not only merchants, Xuan Tianfeng's school also had the same system. He could not support a school by himself, and he also invited many gentlemen to teach together. These gentlemen had to sign a contract, and as much as they should get, no exception.

In just a few days, those merchants who originally felt a little awkward had tasted such benefits. With the contract, the workers had a sense of security and belonging, worked harder and more serious in their work, and their mental outlook was much better than before, and their business became better. So people understood that they didn’t need to think much about doing things in Ji'an County. As long as everything follows Princess Ji'an’s ideas, it would be correct.

After the disaster, everything calmed down again, but for Feng Yuheng, the mine disaster really began!

She always thought that this was a man-made disaster, and she could basically guess what kind of person was using so many lives to make her trouble, but she was suffering from no evidence.

However, this evidence is said to be fast. On the third day after everything was handled, two middle-aged men in their forties came to Princess Ji'an's house and asked to see Feng Yuheng. The two were no one else, but were from the Eighth Prince's Party whose son died in the mine disaster. They pretended to be miners and lurked in the mine for several months, in order to destroy the entire mine at the order of the Eighth Prince, in order to attack Feng Yuheng and also attack the Ninth Prince. However, they did not expect that Xuan Tianmo's man was far beyond their expectations. The destruction was destroyed, but it also took the life of their only son.

The two of them could not bear it anymore and sued Feng Yuheng, exposing the crimes of the Eighth Prince one by one. At the same time, they also provided a list of twenty-three people, all of which were the Eighth Princes lurking in the mine. One of them even told Feng Yuheng: "The princess gave a sky-high compensation, and the news has been handed back to the capital. The Eighth Prince's side should have received the news. With our understanding of the Eighth Prince, he will definitely try to use this method to drag down the Princess. A new round of attacks on the other side of the mine should be coming soon, and the princess must be prepared."

Feng Yuheng heard these words and felt coldness gradually arose in his heart. In order to fight against her and Xuan Tianming, Lao Ba actually used such a method? He did not hesitate to save so many lives. If such a person is on the throne in the future, what would the world be like? She couldn't imagine that hatred suddenly arose, and the urge to kill people swelled up, and finally suppressed it.

To be honest, it would be too easy for her to kill Xuan Tianmo. No matter how many masters in Prince Sheng’s Mansion could not stop her, who had room for cheating and advanced weapons in the 21st century. But she could not do it. That was the son of Emperor Tianwu. If this killer was taken down, Emperor Tianwu would not forgive her even if he knew the truth in his heart. In the confrontation between Xuan Tianming and Xuan Tianmo, Emperor Tianwu supported the struggle on the table. No matter who these two sides were, once they used assassination to kill each other, then no one would be able to sit on the throne. Emperor Tianwu would choose another among other princes.

Feng Yuheng understood the mood of a father, but it did not mean that she let the eighth brother go. She asked the two people in front of her: "Do you dare to go to Beijing to sue the emperor if you can guarantee your personal safety?"

The two were stunned and hesitated, but in the end they gritted their teeth and said, "Dare you! The only son is gone, what hope will we have when we are alive? Just treat it as avenging our son, we will do it!"
