Seeing the heat in Yan Zhen's eyes, Feng Jiuxiao smiled and said, "If I didn't come to Qingzhou, wouldn't you be very depressed?"
Yan Zhen knew about Feng Jiuxiao's past deeds through Gao Li, so he didn't hide it, "It's very repressed!"
Feng Jiuxiao said: "There are a lot of people talking here, let's discuss it in detail later."
Yan Zhen was determined! The deputy envoy was really quick to speak and not sloppy!
He immediately said: "Okay! I am at your disposal at any time!" He is from the fourth grade, which is still a credit to Gao Li, and Feng Jiuxiao's grade is very special. It is okay to say that he is from the second grade, and that he is from the first grade.
OK, because he is so special.
The Imperial City Department has always been outside the jurisdiction of the three yamen, and is under the personal control of the emperor. Although there is no clear rank, no one in the entire dynasty knows how powerful it is. It is acting on behalf of the emperor!
If I were to come in person, I would kill him first and then report him! Isn't this child's play? Even if a Imperial City Inspector's soldier is from the 100th rank, who would dare to look down upon him?
Feng Jiuxiao said: "Are you a student of Taifu Gao?"
Yan Zhen said: "Exactly!"
Feng Jiuxiao said: "Okay!" He pointed to the body of the golden python and said: "This evil beast is running rampant in Qingzhou City and collided with many people. Fortunately, it has some gold on it. I suggest that the prefect can organize manpower to bring it down.
Let’s use the golden section to make statistics on people’s physical injuries and property damage, and compensate them in proportion. What do you think?”
Yan Zhen said solemnly: "That's great. The deputy envoy's proposal is more comprehensive than what I thought. I really admire it!"
Feng Jiuxiao glanced at the surrounding situation and said, "You're welcome, Master Yan. You people in Qingzhou don't have the habit of robbing property, do you?"
Only then did Master Yan realize that the people around him were already crowded. Naturally, they were not here to see him!
The shining golden python at their feet is the focus of their attention!
Yan Zhen has been suppressed by Yue He. He has no soldiers and only a dozen government officials. It is really difficult to maintain order in the face of thousands of people! He can't help but look embarrassed!
At this time, I heard the sound of horse hoofbeats like rolling thunder, and General Cai shouted in the distance: "Everyone, get out of the way!"
General Cai led more than a hundred cavalry into the center of the field and quickly surrounded Feng Jiuxiao, Yan Zhen and others!
Yan Zhen's expression suddenly changed and he instinctively stood in front of Feng Jiuxiao!
Feng Jiuxiao smiled and said: "Master Yan, what do you mean by standing in front of me? Do you know martial arts?"
Yan Zhen blushed, "I just don't want you to be frightened!" He just acted subconsciously, but now he remembered that the deputy envoy's martial arts seemed to be very high!
But General Cai Shen has always followed the lead of his troops and his horses. This time he actually sent out more than a hundred cavalry to surround him. Could it be that he was trying to break up his reputation? Could it be that the Southern Tang Dynasty had already begun to attack? But why didn't he hear the slightest news?
But I heard General Cai clasping his fists and saying: "The general is here to greet the deputy envoy, but I have an order, so don't dare to disobey me!" It turns out that he went to call for someone in just a while!
Feng Jiuxiao said: "Okay! General Cai listens to the order!"
General Cai said: "The last general is here!"
Feng Jiuxiao said: "After a while, Lord Yan will divide the golden python on the spot, provide pensions to those who are injured, and compensate those who are damaged. The remaining property will be paid to the national treasury and divided into two parts. One part will be repaired by Lord Yan to repair the damage caused by the big python just now."
The rest of the public facilities are used to repair bridges and roads, and the other part is used as military pay for General Cai. General Cai's main task is to protect the personal safety of Mr. Yan, maintain order on the scene, and severely punish lawless people who loot property and disrupt order.
!”
These words were said with great force, and all the people present could hear them clearly!
Those who were injured and those who suffered losses were naturally overjoyed. They thought they had suffered an unjust disaster in vain, but now they are better, and the government will personally administer justice!
Those who coveted gold were resentful and cursed, but they did not dare to speak too loudly, lest others hear them and get beaten!
The remaining people were just watching the fun, and they all gave the thumbs up to the boy in white!
"This guy is really not a coward, he thinks so comprehensively!"
"Yes, roads have been built, people have been treated, and things have been compensated. It's quite comprehensive."
"You only know one but not the other."
"Zhang Laowen, what else do you have in mind?"
Zhang Laowen whispered: "Don't you see the problem?"
"what is the problem?"
"General Yue didn't show up, Lord Yan is here."
"So what?"
"In the past, Mr. Yan rarely showed his face, except for various sacrificial ceremonies and the Double Ninth Festival during the Spring Festival. He would show his face. How many times have you seen him?"
"Yes, in the past it was General Yue who showed his face in big and small affairs. This time Master Yan dares to come out, so he must have strong reinforcements!"
"Oh, where is it?"
"Right before your eyes!"
"The boy in white?"
"Exactly!"
"He is a young scholar, how can he be regarded as a strong support?"
"Huh, General Cai Shen used to be General Yue's follower. Did you hear what he said just now?"
"I heard it, wasn't it just listening and drinking?"
"Whose drink will you listen to?"
"Just listen to the boy in white and drink!"
"Why should you listen to the boy in white?"
"Well..."
Zhang Laowen sneered: "How about you guys who are usually short-sighted! This young man is probably an imperial envoy! He is most likely here to deal with General Yue!"
"But General Yue is very kind to everyone. He gives everyone money, pork, and rice every festival. Why should we deal with him?"
Zhang Laowen smiled and said, "Hey, you finally got to the point! He is giving money to everyone, isn't it just three taels of silver?"
"Three or two is a lot!"
"But do you know how much money he makes from the Houshan Iron Mine every year?"
"They are officials, so they can hug each other. What does that have to do with us?"
Zhang Laowen was speechless, "You're just a coward! Even if the money they make has nothing to do with us, do you know where their money is spent?"
"What does it have to do with us where the money went? We didn't work for them, they didn't owe us wages, we didn't lend them money, and they didn't owe us any debt. If they have money, they can spend it!
"
"You are really born to be slaves!"
"Zhang Laowen, why are you swearing?"
Zhang Laowen was so angry that his teeth itched, "The iron ore they only occupied belonged to the imperial court, even if it didn't belong to everyone! Who did they sell it to? To our feuding Southern Tang Dynasty! What did they sell it to them for? In addition to making swords, guns, bows and crossbows,
What can they do? What are these swords, guns, bows and crossbows used for? Don’t you fucking know? When the Southern Tang people come and kill you in two days, your house will be burned down by them, your wife will be snatched away, and your son will be killed.
When you kill people alive, you will happily say, look, that knife is made of our Qingzhou iron! Look, that gun is also made of our Qingzhou iron! It’s so sharp and hard.
!”
After he finished speaking, the surrounding area gradually became quiet!
A young man said: "I heard that all the iron ore is transported to the capital. How could it be transported to Southern Tang?"
Zhang Laowen said: "This is easy to handle! If you go back and ask those responsible for transporting the ore, wouldn't you know?"
"But those people are all from Yunmen Villa. If we go and ask, won't we get beaten?"
"If they are honest, why are they afraid of being questioned? The more they beat people, the more it means they have something evil in their minds! Besides, they don't receive any reward for nothing. Why do they give us money for the holidays? Isn't it just to let us turn a blind eye? In fact, everyone
If I had known they had a problem, they would have blocked their mouths! In fact, according to dynasty laws, if ore is mined locally, the region will have a certain proportion of mining rights. In this way, if a big businessman is responsible for mining, he must
Recruiting workers, our local people can earn money by working as miners, mining, smelting, transporting, eating and drinking. This is a long-term industry, almost everyone can benefit, and the money everyone earns is far more than this! Now they have a monopoly
In order to mine, it’s okay to take away the bulk. The key point is that they also colluded with foreign ghosts to destroy my Great Wall and destroy my homeland. Can we agree?"
"I can't agree!" Some young people were already angry!
"Can you agree?" Zhang Laowen shouted again.
"I cannot agree!" Thousands of people roared together like a mountain roaring and a tsunami roaring!
Yan Zhen and Feng Jiuxiao looked at the crowd over there and were attracted by one of the middle-aged down-and-out scholars who raised his fists and shouted!
His body is thin, but he bursts out with earth-shattering power! When he shouts, the people respond with such momentum that the earth shakes and the mountains shake!
Yan Zhen said: "I didn't expect that he could do what I couldn't do!"
Feng Jiuxiao said: "Master Yan, please don't belittle yourself. That person just did the right thing at the right time! If you hadn't shown up today, maybe they wouldn't have dared to do this. You are actually their backbone!"
