Chapter 121 Things finally went in a strange direction

When the leader of the Gao clan was hung from the cliff cave with a rope, Yun Zhao felt dizzy.

The way a ten-year-old child was like an adult was talking, making Yun Zhao want to kick him into the ditch.

Yun Yang said in his ear: "Each of us had the idea of ​​kicking you into a ditch, and we might also want to bury some soil!"

Yun Zhao also turned his head and said in Yun Yang's ear: "Are the scouts sent out? Our troops are weak here, so don't let people really bury me."

Yun Yang whispered: "I understand. You are greedy for Ningxia and Gansu, and you are not here to deal with any mine accident."

Yun Zhao smiled and said, "How can I see it?"

Yun Yang said angrily: "Do you think I can't smell the odor emitted from Li Dingguo? The Baiyin Factory Mine Crash is just an introduction to your attack.

If I hadn't been too familiar with you, I would have even suspected that you were responsible for this mine accident."

Yun Zhao smiled and said, "I am so eager to see you. Do you think this sentence is familiar?"

Yun Yang Dao: "We have controlled all the seven roads leading to Shuzhong in Guanzhong and Hanzhong, including Ziwu Road, Tangluo Road, Baoxi Road, Chencang Road, Lizhi Road, Micang Road, and Jinniu Road.

You also want to consolidate Yinping Road and Qishan Road, so you start to plot here, right?

It seems that Shuzhong is very important to you!

All layouts are running around this center. When I was in Lantian, I really thought you were worried about the Baiyin Factory mine disaster.

Speaking of which, do you know how many people die in the coal mines in Yan'an Prefecture in order to supply coal in Lantian County?

Do you know how many people die every year when the caravans transporting lead ingots for us in Yunnan and Guizhou?

Last year, nine people died in the Lantian County Steel Plant that time, and you didn’t even want to come forward, so the people below solved it.

That's right under your nose.

Do you think, how many people will be killed or injured in my Yun family’s many industries in a year?

The total number is added up, the small silver factory is nothing at all."

Yun Zhao looked at Yun Yang and said, "Why have you become so smart?"

Yun Yang patted his chest and said, "Xu Wu doesn't want to be here. I have collected all your documents, so of course I know."

Yun Zhao rudely took all the documents from Yun Yang's arms, put them in his own bag, and then said to Yun Yang: "No in the future."

Yun Yang said: "In the past, I had the money, and didn't I deal with it when Xu Wu was away? As far as I know, as your deputy general, I have the power to supervise you!"

Yun Zhao said: "Their mouths are not as big as yours!"

Yun Yang laughed and said, "It's really interesting to see your documents. Let me read them for a few more days. I really want to know why Li Dingguo chased the Yanbian bandit Yang Liu to Qingyangwei, but did not kill him and let him escape to Longzhong all the way."

"Get out!" Yun Zhao shouted angrily, and Yun Yang obediently closed his mouth.

The Gao family in Tiaocheng is very similar to the Yun family in Lantian County. Both of them look like the main family is in decline and the branches are prosperous. However, there is no main family member to be a bandit, so the orphan and widowed mother are pitiful.

If Guanzhong was almost abandoned by the court because of the bandits, then the court never treated this place in Longzhong well.

It is very interesting to say. This place has been very popular since ancient times. Even in the middle hall of a family who cannot eat enough, there will be a calligraphy and painting or a couplet. It seems that as long as there are calligraphy and paintings at home, it will be very different from other poor people.

So, this caused a big trouble. Many coolies who worked as a miner in the Silver Factory and craftsmen actually knew how to read!

It is because of this that their views on life are very different from those of ordinary poor people. With the concept of filial piety and brotherhood in the bones, it is difficult for them to give up saving their relatives because of a little money.

The ten-year-old chief in charge of Gao's family, when he saw Yun Zhao, the first request was that the sixty-three people wanted to see people alive and dead, and they were buried safely. Only then did he follow Yun Zhao to Baiyin Factory to persuade the Gao family's children who rebel with flags and rebels, put down the tools in their hands, hoes and other things, and accept punishment.

Of course, this punishment cannot be too harsh.

Yun Zhao knew that the Gao clans did not believe in the Lantian County Magistrate, whom he had never met, but believed in the benefits that Baiyin Factory had brought to the people here in the past three years.

For these benefits, coupled with the possibility of solving the problem of the Silver Factory, people are just willing to take risks.

Yun Zhao stayed in Tiaocheng for three days and never went to Baiyin Factory. During these three days, Yun Zhao, accompanied by Gao Yuanfeng and Gao Zhengmao, the owner of Gao's family, visited the ancestor of Gao's family.

It was considered to have formally formed a friendship with Gao.

Gao Yuanfeng did not go to the Silver Factory either. Gao Zhengmao walked away with great effort. On the afternoon of the fourth day, Yun Zhao finally met Gao Zhengmao, who represented the miners and craftsmen!

At this time, Yun Zhao seemed to not know this person. Looking at Gao Zhengmao, surrounded by a group of miners and craftsmen, said: "Tell me!"

Gao Zhengmao immediately said: "The managers of the Baiyin Factory are alive, and they survived under the protection of these miners and craftsmen."

Yun Zhao said: "I already know these things. Now, I really want to know who brought sixty-three miners into the prospecting tunnel at a time."

"It's Sun Dacai!"

Before Gao Zhengmao could speak, a voice came out of the crowd.

Yun Zhao looked at the list of Yun's managers. He didn't find Sun Dacai, so he said in a deep voice: "Where did he come from? How did he become a manager?"

Gao Zhengmao said: "There are 1,135 miners and 897 craftsmen in the Silver Factory. These more than 2,000 people are responsible for all the processes of the entire Silver Factory from mining to ore dressing, crushing, grinding, and finally smelting of crude copper. It is impossible for all 28 people from Lantian County to manage them.

So, the craftsmen and miners here selected some managers themselves, and this was how Sun Dacai became managers.

I thought Sun Dacai was also from a nearby clan. After investigation, I found out that this person was a refugee, but he was very polite and spent money like water. He just used some small favors to buy a lot of people, so he was selected as the leader.

He said that the labor costs of going down the pit are high, so more people will be sent."

"Where is this person?" Yun Zhao asked faintly.

Xu Wu, who came back with these people, thought, "They all hid in the pit and refused to come out."

"them?"

"Reported to the county magistrate, when the high magistrate cooperated with me to distinguish miners and craftsmen one by one, Sun Dacai and a group of people seized the back city of Baiyin Factory. After we were captured, they got into a pit and fought stubbornly.

Uncle Bao was worried that there would be danger in the pit, so he did not send anyone to attack."

Yun Zhao looked at the ragged miners and sighed to the craftsmen, "Sixty-three lives, how can they hide in the pit?"

Xu Wu thought: "As far as we have found out in the past few days, it is not only Sun Da who has problems, but even the Guanlong swordsmen we hired to protect the city wall. When I arrived at the Baiyinchang City Wall, the swordsman leader Zhou Cheng actually guarded the city and refused to allow us to go in. After we braved the rain of arrows and rain, they disappeared."

Yun Zhao shook his head slightly and said, "Silly guy, I have harmed my 63 subordinates. Do you think you can escape punishment if you disappear?

What about Yun Fang? He, the big shopkeeper, is not very good. He has made a silver factory well and has no idea. He won’t be able to do it without showing up!”

Xu Wu wanted to sigh and waved his hand. Immediately, a miner walked in with a stretcher. Yun Fang, who was lying on the stretcher, saw Yun Zhao struggling to sit up. Then he heard Yun Zhao say coldly: "Lying down, reply to my words, and give these miners and craftsmen an answer."

Yun Fang, who was so thin that he was only left with a handful of bones, said weakly: "Reporting to the head of the family, everything is Yun Fang's fault. I just want to ask the miners that the craftsmen want more copper and do not regard them as human beings. It is Yun Fang's fault. I shouldn't just focus on the output.

I asked Sun Dacai and Zhou Cheng to take advantage of the loopholes. The mistake was because of me. I just wanted the head of the family to deal with Yun Fang for the sake of my hard work for several years. Don’t involve him too much.

These miners and craftsmen are all good. They are willing to work hard and obedient in their daily lives. If it weren’t for the evil people, they would not have gathered to cause trouble."

When the miners and craftsmen heard that Yun Fang was still talking to them at this moment, they all bowed their heads and whispered to defend Yun Fang.

Gao Zhengmao said: "County Master, I heard from these people that Manager Yun stays in the workshop day and night on weekdays. You also know that smelting copper is equivalent to smelting money. When copper is produced, the most imperfect swordsmen are the swordsmen.

To put it bluntly, some people even stuffed copper strips containing gold and silver that appeared during the copper smelting process into the valley and took them away... It is hard to be guarded, and Manager Yun must keep an eye on them himself to avoid making mistakes.

Therefore, sixty-three lives have happened, and these people did not make things difficult for Manager Yun. They just locked them in the mine and were so delicious that they were locked up, and never thought of harming them.

When Sun Dacai, Zhou Cheng and others saw that the army began to attack the city and set up the village and wanted to force the army to retreat with Manager Yun and others, this group of people fought to the death to beat the swordsmen and Sun Dacai away, and six more people died for this.

The county lord, the fault is not on Manager Yun, nor on these coolies, but on the dog thieves like Sun Dacai and Zhou Cheng.

Please bring them to justice and make a clear punishment for later generations!”

Yun Zhao stared at Gao Zhengmao blankly, listening to the group of miners, the craftsmen roared the roars that Sun Dacai and Zhou Cheng and others were about to tear them apart.

He sighed and said, "Highly, can you be the one who is in my Lantian County?"

Gao Zhengmao straightened his back and shouted: "Although he is weak, he can eat a dou and eat ten kilograms of meat. I have no choice but to protect my family and the people!"

Yun Zhao smiled and said, "The officials of Lantian County have never had the precedent of being an official in the local area. They can be promoted to Guanzhong as an official, and Guanzhong will also send people to find a position in this Longzhong."
