Chapter 127 Riot(1/2)
Xu Degong is an uncle. He is old and has experienced many things, which means it is difficult to lie to him.
Xu Chengye is young and ill-informed, impulsive, driven and motivated, which means he is easily deceived.
So, without thinking, the miners targeted Xu Chengye.
I had been planning for several days, but I couldn't decide on the day to take action. I didn't expect that it would be better to hurry up than to rush, and the opportunity actually came to my door.
On a rare day, most of the mine managers were absent. Xu Chengye pretended to be the boss and asked the miners why the ore mining had decreased in recent days, and the copper income had also decreased.
what does that mean?
This means that their Xu family's income has also decreased.
That’s not true!
These miners don't know what to do if they don't use any means to force them.
Xu Chengye showed off his power in front of a group of miners and even whipped people.
Just at this moment, a miner ran out of the mine and started shouting from a distance, "What a happy event, what a happy event!"
"What a happy event? What a shame!"
"Report to Master Xu, there are golden lumps dug out underneath!"
"What did you say?" Xu Chengye forgot to slap someone, and he forgot that today he wanted to establish his personal prestige. When he heard Jin Qiaoda, all he thought about was gold.
He is courageous and has a great imagination.
Gold was dug up, and no one in charge is here today except him.
If he concealed the news, it would be a benefit to the miners present to keep them secretive.
Hahaha... Soon, the Xu family will become the richest man in the world, with so much money that they can't even count it.
"Master Xu, do you want to report this matter?"
"What kind of reward? I'm here, so you don't have to worry." Xu Chengye came to his senses.
He asked the miner carefully, "Is it really a golden lump?"
"Not sure. But the boss of the mine said that it is very likely to be a gold lump, and there may be an associated gold mine underneath. Whether it is true or not still needs to be determined."
"Let's go, take me down."
The miners' faces were startled, and each of them looked trembling, fearful.
"The mine is dangerous, Master Xu might as well wait up there. I'll wait..."
"What nonsense." Xu Chengye interrupted the miner's persuasion.
That was a gold mine. How could he rest assured if he didn't go down to confirm it himself?
The miners who stopped him and refused to let him go down were not well-intentioned in his eyes. They were clearly uneasy and well-intentioned. Could it be that they wanted to report it to other management personnel behind his back?
Once other people in charge know about it, there is no chance that the Xu family will take possession of the associated gold mine.
This matter must not be leaked.
"Before we determine whether it is a gold mine, everyone should keep their mouths shut. If word spreads and it turns out that it is not a gold mine, you know the consequences. Just because I am easy to talk to, does not mean that the people above are as easy to talk to as me."
"We all listen to Master Xu."
"Master Xu really wants to go into the mine?"
"Nonsense! For such a big matter, of course I have to go to the mine to take a look in person."
Ever since, Xu Chengye went down to the mine, and then... he never came up.
In the evening, Xu Degong asked Xu Chengye, and the people below told him, "Sir, the chief secretary said that he wanted to go down to the mine to check the situation, and he suspected that the miners were lazy down there."
"He went to the mines? How long was he there? It must have been an hour or two."
"It has been so long since he has not come up. He is just playing the piano randomly. He thinks the mine is so easy to get into. Send someone down and call him up. I will ask him personally."
"promise!"
Xu Degong looked through his account books and was so busy that he forgot about Xu Chengye.
When I woke up the next morning, I suddenly remembered this matter and asked hurriedly: "Where is Mr. Xu Chengye?"
"Replying to your Majesty, I have never seen Mr. Xiao Xu."
"Go and have a look in his room? Ask the others when he came up last night and why he didn't come to see me."
The servant followed the order and left, but soon returned, looking anxious and panicked.
"It's a serious matter. Mr. Xiao Xu didn't see anyone all night. I'm afraid he's not still in the mine. They all said that Mr. Xiao Xu went down to the mine and no one came up."
"It's over, something happened!"
After all, Xu Degong had rich experience. As soon as he heard about this situation, he knew something was wrong.
If it were the young Xu Chengye, he might be naive and wonder what accident happened down there?
Xu Degong made a quick decision, brought his soldiers, picked up his swords and guns, and planned to go on a killing spree today.
These miners were so audacious that they dared to plot against his nephew. If they didn't take violent measures to suppress them, he would be the next unlucky person.
When the miners who were taking turns saw the soldiers copying the guy and seemed to be surrounding him, those who were smart knew that things would be worse if they were exposed.
As a miner, you do the hardest and most tiring work, and you face danger of life and death at any time. The local area is also a mountainous area, and you have to go up to the mountain to hunt from time to time. In other words, the local people and local miners have their own blood, and they can both
You can be a compliant person, but you can also be a mob person.
In short, his inner ferocity is by no means comparable to that of the obedient people in the wealthy areas of the plains.
"Everyone is copying you guys, the dog officials are here to kill you. If you want to survive, charge at me."
Shovel, iron rod, shoulder pole, wooden stick...
The mine is half a cold weapons depot. The miners picked up the weapons and started working with the soldiers.
There are also cowardly people who hide secretly.
There are also people who protect themselves wisely and hide in the dark to watch the situation. Whoever has the upper hand will take refuge in him.
The miners fought and retreated, "Go to the mine!"
Mines are the main battlefield for miners.
"They are not miners, they are all thugs and rebels. Each of them has two taels of silver on his head. Kill them!"
Xu Degong firmly believed that there would be brave men under heavy rewards.
Two taels of silver for each head really aroused the ferocity of the soldiers. They chased the miners and rushed into the mine.
The mine is dark, hot, and humid...
It's like hell.
The miners were at home in the mines, but the soldiers were miserable.
Xu Degong personally went to the mine to supervise the battle and must annihilate all these miners who dared to rebel.
The two sides fought hard and uncomfortable in the mine, but they both ignored one problem, because the Xu family's uncle and nephew were rushing to meet the construction deadline and only thought about digging more mines, and did not care about safety. Anyway, if something happened to him, he would die.
of miners.
By spending some money, you can recruit batches of miners from outside.

Regarding production safety, Qian Zhiming repeatedly reminded the Xu family's uncles and nephews that they didn't take it to heart at all.
Today, a group of people were fighting in the mine, and then...
Rumble!
The mine collapsed unexpectedly.
The movement was so loud that people several miles away felt it, "Could it be an earthquake?"
Everyone looked in the direction where the movement came from, which was the mine.
An earthquake is no earthquake.
The absence of earthquakes means that something happened to the mine, and it was something serious.
Those who responded quickly rushed to the mine as soon as possible, and at the same time sent someone to report to the Dingwang Mansion.
If something serious happens, the soldiers of Prince Ding's palace must be dispatched, and they must wear armor and be fully armed, just in case.
Something happened at the mine, and the specific circumstances are still unclear.
When the news was sent to King Ding Liu Heng, his face darkened, "I knew that my uncle and nephew of the Xu family were going to cause trouble, but I didn't expect that the trouble would come so early and so quickly. Send the order, and the soldiers will assemble and follow me to the mine."
"Your Majesty, the mine is threatening, those miners don't know etiquette, what if..."
"There is no such thing as a chance. The mine is my fiefdom, and most of the miners are the subjects of my fiefdom. No matter what the specific situation is, I must be present at the scene."
Galloping all the way, King Ding Liu Heng led the palace officials and two hundred soldiers to the mine.
Only then did we learn about the mine collapse.
