If Duan Fang can choose freely and let Duan Fang choose 100, he would not choose to go to Yongping Prefecture to deal with the civil unrest. If it were simply to deal with the civil unrest, it would not only be simple, but he also had experience and could be easily handled. But the complexity of this civil unrest is not the civil unrest itself, but the confrontation between China and the United States behind the civil unrest is a thankless thing, which made him hesitate and difficult. If it were not for the court's urging, Lin Guangyu issued an edict to severely rebuke it, Duan Fang had an attitude of delaying one day or one day. The reason was also ready-made - Yi Jun was unstable and had a sign of a bigger change. As the chief of a provincial government, he had an unshirkable responsibility. However, the imperial decree clearly dispelled his thoughts. The matters of Yi Jun were handled by a dedicated person, and the direct supervision must resolve the Yongping civil unrest, otherwise the censor would impeach.

Seeing enough of the censor's swearing pen and the emperor's killing knife, Duan Fang had another hundred unpetitions, and Yongping and his party were inevitable. Yi Jun was indeed showing signs of riots, and he did not dare to call them before leaving. He just called Liangjiang and followed his personal followers to ensure that everything was safe and avoid the disaster of the fish in the pond.

When he arrived at Yongping Prefecture, the Zhili Tifadao Special Commissioner had already investigated the situation about the "civil rebellion". In the past month, the commissioner had the best patience, the greatest determination, and the longest carefulness. He read the whole case up and down, inside and out, and thus came up with the truth of the final incident, and wrote a thick passage of papers and handed it to Duan Fang for a review.

As for the truth of the matter, there is no difference between the content depicted by China and the UK. It is nothing more than: miners and managers have clashed, causing large-scale confrontation and even strikes, and the mines fired guns and injured people during the handling, and then there were large-scale riots...

While flipping through the Tiaochen, Duan Fang was thinking about his thoughts: What should I do about this? As he thought about it, his brows were getting tighter and tighter. He asked, "Is there any missing investigation here?"

"Reported to the master, except for the foreign gentlemen who failed to investigate and recorded their confessions after the draw, the other people related to the incident have been asked one by one. All the descriptions on the document are true, and they also have their signatures or handprints..."

"I mean..." Duan Fang didn't know how to speak. What he wanted to ask in his heart was - after investigation of such a matter. What is the UK's opinion?

It was another long time that the commissioner understood what the Governor meant. He laughed in silence, but had to describe it solemnly:

It is not easy to lie in front of many witnesses, and the British also know this well. Decilin and Nasen do not entangle with the commissioner in terms of the details of the case. They only repeatedly declare that the management of miners in the mine is legitimate, and shooting is forced.

The miner group believes that it is a deadly thing. No matter how we make a fuss, you shouldn't shoot, let alone someone else dies. When shooting, who can tell whether you are intentional or "forced"?

But saying this does not satisfy the situation Duan Fang knows what he wants. It is no wonder that the character Sichuan on his brows will become tighter and tighter.

In the heart of the commissioner, his arrival was a great blessing. After removing two prefects in a row, the position of the case handler almost became a nightmare in the judicial circle of Zhili. When the commissioner was selected to take on this position, he still lamented that fate was a mess. The development of the situation was not beyond his imagination. When he investigated the facts and was about to determine responsibility, he found that he could not complete such a mission and task at all. The only thing he could do was to mediate between the two parties, hoping to get a compromise solution - in this sense, this judge was actually weak and incompetent, so where could a judge mediate between the plaintiff and the defendant in a criminal case to judge the case?

Duan Fang also knows this principle well, so he has an abnormal headache.

"Sir, Kaiping's position was very tough at first, saying that if they did not follow their wishes, the case would never be settled, and the diplomatic relations between China and Britain would also be affected. However, according to Beizhi Observation, in the past January and February, the tone of Mr. Decuilin and Mr. Nasen have been eased to varying degrees."

"Why is this?"

"Because of the long-term delay in the case, Kaiping suffered huge losses."

If you carefully investigate the reasons, the loosening of Kaiping's attitude is not because of the conscience of Decuilin and Nasen, nor is it the effect of the public opinion offensive, but because of Kaiping's crumbling production capacity and stock price.

Kaiping, after more than 10,000 miners went on strike, turned into a dead mine.

No one is paying coal, no matter how good the two men use, the mine is one - after the mine does not admit their mistakes and returns the unreasonable deduction, the strike will never resume. In the face of the sound, Kaiping made a fatal misjudgment, thinking that these mud legs were just talk. In a few days, they would beg for mercy automatically because they were in trouble in their lives, so they insisted on a rigid stand without loosening.

If there were only these two entities in the market, Kaiping's strategy might be successful, but he forgot that there was still a Kai. During the stalemate between Kaiping and the miners, Kai seized the opportunity and used the call to expand production to collect all the miners. Not only did it solve the labor shortage caused by the expansion of production scale, but it also sent Kaiping's army. Faced with the rising coal prices, the two were stunned. They never dreamed that Kai would have such a move - it can be seen that "taking advantage of others' danger" is not the patent of the foreign devils.

Kaiping also tried to recruit new people to take on mining tasks, but the locals did not sell the accounts. After the foreigners who had worked hard to recruit arrived in the state, they would inevitably be panic when they heard similar rumors. Moreover, the foreman did not dare to speak too seriously to the workers due to the lessons learned from the last situation. These are almost all novice workers who are terrible in terms of labor efficiency. The quantity and quality of coal produced in Kaiping have been severely reduced, and some mining areas have not even resumed production, so they can only watch the groundwater flood the entire operation surface.

Since the price war began, Kaiping has suffered nearly 500 yuan in losses. Kaiping’s losses were originally comparable to that, but now he seized the opportunity and used the market vacancy to sell in large quantities to recover a considerable degree of losses. On the other hand, he has made a major breakthrough in recruiting commercial stocks. On the one hand, he is suffering and embarrassment of the economy, and on the other hand, he is aggressive with competitors. Kaiping finally feels completely fear.

The price of Kaiping stocks in Tianjin Stock Exchange fully reflects the manifestation of this fear, almost becoming a garbage item that no one cares about. Everyone is speculating when Kaiping will go bankrupt and when the British will get out.

Zhou Xuexi and others were also looking forward to this day, but he had deeper considerations. The Kaiping stocks that no one cares about were quietly absorbed by him in a hidden and clever way, and the total share had exceeded 15%. This is a powerful deterrent based on capital. Although it is not enough to shake the actual control of the foreign devils' equity, the other side also verifies Kai's influence.

In the situation where the two sides were stalemate and continued to confront each other, Duanfang received a package of plans to acquire Kaiping shares - that is, Kai will give Kaiping shareholders an additional 200 yuan to acquire Kaiping shares on the basis of taking on Kaiping's total liabilities.

In this plan, Duan Fang's task was much lighter, and the role he played was only responsible for proposing it and negotiating with foreign devils. Compared with the sky asking price of De Cuilin and others at that time, the price was obviously relatively low. His value dropped sharply from 17 million yuan, and his depreciation rate reached nearly two-thirds. However, with De Cuilin and Nasen and others, the national rights paid for 80% of the time, he now has to pay tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of times more redeemed. All of the things in between are regrettable.

Zhang Yi naturally strongly opposed this condition, because it would affect his status as "lifelong supervision". He, a fool, never saw it clearly. The reason why his foreign master valued his "power" so seriously was just to cover up their ulterior motives. He needed to express his objections without breaking up, Zhang Yi was treated as a gun for their interests - this is the sorrow of a slave.

Duan Fang saw it very clearly that the focus of the contradiction gradually shifted from the opposition between Kaiping and Kai's two major mines to the conflict between Zhou Xuexi, De Cuilin, Nasen and others, and now it has turned into a diplomatic dispute between Britain and China.

In Jurden's mind, the interests and values ​​of the British Empire were not based on profit-seeking people like Decilin and Nassen. On the contrary, their actions were discredited by the glory of Great Britain. The reason why he agreed to the request of the two and released it through different diplomatic occasions was actually to look at a value that could be used for exchange.

The price of 200 yuan depends on how people understand it. He is waiting for a more appropriate bid, and the profoundness and knowledge of this bid has made the main battlefield of Yongping Mansion a decoration.

Not only Zhu Erdian, Duan Fang was also anxiously waiting for the final trump card to appear.
