Chapter 217 The Black-hearted Official of Coal City

The king left the Jinxiu Tower and hurried back to Meyer's house. As soon as he entered the house, he felt that the atmosphere was wrong. The family members who opened the door smiled and said, "Sir, you can come back. Go to the hall and have a look."

I didn't enter the hall yet, but I heard the excitement inside. It seemed that there were many people in it. When Wang opened the door, he suddenly felt a burst of warmth. There was a strong fire burning in the furnace tripod in the middle of the hall. In addition, there were six or seven people in the room.

Seeing Wang's side coming in, these people greeted him. He Xingyuan, Wu Ling, Jiao Deyou, and Yu Danian were all there, as well as Lu Shenyan and Cai Jing. Wa Zhuang were also in the house at this time. Wang's side suddenly saw so many people appearing in front of him, and suddenly he was so excited that he couldn't speak.

Lu Shenyan said, "Son, that's all right. You see, everyone is here, just waiting for you to come back."

"Good, good." Wang saw the kindness of these people: "What's going on? I've confused you. Let's sit down and talk about it."

Everyone sat down one after another, and then talked about their experiences. Originally, He Xingyuan handled the teahouse in Yanzhou. The court changed for a while. Finally, the Yanzhou teahouse was taken over by the court. He Xingyuan went to Xixia and saw that several apprentices Zhang Luowang's salt farm and medicine farm in Xixia were ready, and the relationship with Xixia's officialdom had moved. Wrong, just wait for the salt season and the medicine picking season, which is also mixed. He Xingyuan is ready to return to Beijing and wait for the king to arrange the next plan,

Returning from Xixia to the territory of the Song Dynasty, I first heard that there was an accident in Jinxiang Mansion, and then I heard that there was also an accident in the capital mansion. He Xingyuan inquired about the progress of the matter while walking to the capital. On the way back, He Xingyuan deliberately took a detour to Jinxiang Mansion to have a look, but unexpectedly met Wu Ling and Jiao Deyou there,

Wu Ling and Jiao Deyou were on the same road. As soon as they arrived at Jinxiang Mansion, they learned that Jinxiang Mansion was going to send coal to the capital, and there was news that someone saw Wang on the way back to Bianjing, so Jiao Deyou called about the dock and asked Yu Danian to follow the coal transportation team of Jinxiang Mansion to the capital together, and they also Two trucks of coal were smuggled and mixed in the convoy, and the escorted officers and soldiers were spent a dozen of silver to send the coal to Meyer House. These two trucks of coal were at least enough for Meyer House and Jinxiu Building for a winter,

Well, Wang turned to Yu Danian and asked, "I heard that Jinxiang Mansion has stopped work. Where did the coal come from?"

Yu Danian sighed and said, "Sir, the work of Jinxiang Mansion has been suspended for a long time. When you were away, the court suddenly came to the article, saying that Jinxiang Mansion was suspected of colluding with the local magistrate to sell land privately, and we were not allowed to use the signboard of Jinxiang Mansion. At first, everyone didn't know what was going on. Later, an official surnamed Qin came and said that the land was filled. Public, the court that is willing to stay and continue coal mining is responsible for the pay and resettlement,

At first, everyone didn't understand. Later, I heard that the magistrate of Cheng County in Jincheng was suspected of taking bribes. Fortunately, the magistrate of Cheng County had an account. Every time the silver that the prince gave to the county government office was used to run a school and donate to the son to Beijing. The local students went to the county magistrate to support him, as well as the people of Jincheng, and the people in the villages near Jinxiangfu were also When he went to the county to protest, the official surnamed Qin was afraid of making a big deal, so he did not criminalize the county magistrate.

Wang Zhuan thought that Cheng Hao was not a good talent, and the Cheng brothers and Zhang Zai were also relatives. If this circle of friends were implicated, he also felt guilty, so he hurriedly asked, "How is the county magistrate of Cheng Hao now?"

Yu Danian said, "I heard that the county magistrate resigned. He traveled and lectured with his brother. It seems that he went to Yanzhou. I don't know if Brother He heard about it in Yanzhou." He said to see He Xingyuan,

He Xingyuan shook his head: "I didn't pay attention to these when I arrived in Yanzhou, but when I came back from Yanzhou and passed by Jincheng, I saw the situation in the villages near Jincheng and Jinxiangfu, which was very different from when I went with Wuling."

"Yes." Wu Ling also interrupted, "Sir, you don't know that those villagers are desolate now. For more than a year, Jinxiang Mansion has changed."

Wang asked, "How to change." Wang Bian asked with concern. Yu Danian sighed and looked at Wu Ling: "You'd better say it."

Wu Ling frowned: "I can't say the specific situation, but when I went there, I saw the people guarding the coal mine, but they didn't dare to burn coal. The house was very cold, especially the mountain, which was even cold. Some of them were not wrapped in clothes and food, and there were many beggars on the street, not to mention that there were children who stole coal. Son, be beaten by the officers and soldiers.

"There is such a thing. What's going on?" Although Wang Ben thought that Jinxiang Mansion was not managed by himself. If the court officials took over, it would not be as humane as his own management, but it would not be so desolate. He was not a little shocked to hear this, so he asked Yu Danian,

Yu Danian saw Wang and forced him to ask, but to say, "Sir, I didn't want to take care of the matter of Jinxiang Mansion. After the court took over, I went back to the Zhou family dock. When I married the second lady of the Zhou family, Brother Jiao took one or two copies of the family property. I was worried about food and clothing at this time. Not long after returning to the dock, Yin Shijie went to look for it. I, saying that everyone was in trouble, I went to have a look and found out that the officials who originally took over Jinxiang Mansion not only deducted their pay, but also stopped our original school and canteen, saying that those cost a lot of money, so that the income of each household was much less,

This is the beginning. Later, the officials, regardless of the rain and snow, did not wait for the new pit to detoxify, and let the village name go down the well. As a result, there were people, and they did not report it. As a result, Jinxiang Mansion ran a lot of labor. Those who were still there were old villagers there all year round. There was no other place to go, and I had no other way, just Zhou Ji, who can change the law, but after all, my ability is limited,

Later, the coal could not come out of Jinxiang Mansion, so the official asked to fill the well and let it die by itself. Some time ago, the official went there and said that he would ask for coal soon, so there was a sporadic point. In addition, all the remaining coal in Jinxiang Mansion was pulled to the capital. Moreover, there were officers and soldiers watching the well, that is, the villagers who were mining coal. You are not allowed to bring coal home. I think this is the last one. I stole two cars and brought one with me.

Wang felt stuffy when he heard it, and he was not angry. What kind of dog official is this? It's not only the coal boss, but also the black-hearted officials and the court. What's more, Jinxiang Mansion is the painstaking efforts of the king, so he ruined it. Wang can't help scolding: "It's a bitch, it's really abominable." But it's troublesome to think about it. If this is really the last available resource, what can he do with the people's coal?

The king was frowned and meditating. Yu Danian asked, "Sir, now the Jinxiang Mansion is waiting for you to speak. If you say to give up the Jinxiang Mansion, everyone has discussed it. Everyone in that place will not stay in that place. Whoever likes to dig coal will dig. Anyway, we are not waiting."

This is not a way. There are still a lot of things to be solved by Wang. Yu Danian saw Wang and said without saying, "Sir, that's the foundation of Jincheng and the people nearby. Our efforts for so many years can't be in vain. It's a pity that everyone has a few years of down-to-earth life. It's a pity to give up like this. Alas, now we have no idea, so we will listen to you.

Wang looked at Yu Danian and thought that this boy had been following him for some years. Although he looked simple and honest, he was definitely not a scheming person. These people around him are loyal to himself, but at present, after experiencing these things, everyone can take the lead alone, one thing at a time, and the judgment of these people is not It can be summed up in a few words. Yu Danian and others can secretly carry two cars of coal to the house, and they must still have their back hands,

Thinking of this, Wang said, "New Year, I have a way to find the imperial court to return to Jinxiang Mansion. In those years, Emperor Renzong gave me a hundred hectares of land, and now I still have an order. I just need to go back to the land, but if the officials fill in all the wells, it is no different from reopening it no matter what we want to do."

Everyone's eyes widened and mouths as soon as they heard it. Yu Danian shouted, "Baiqing, it's enough for Jinxiang Mansion. You should cash it quickly, so that the people of Jincheng can save their livelihood."

The king shook his head: "I'm afraid that this paper oracle can only be used once at a critical moment. If this imperial oracle is taken out, I'm afraid the court will find a way to stop the increase of land, and it can't solve the coal burning needs of the people in the capital."

Yu Danian nodded and said, "That's true, but you don't have to worry. As far as I know, the suspension of the labor union in Jinxiang Mansion had an impact, but before the suspension of work, the official surnamed Qin sealed a large number of coals. One part of them was paid tribute to the palace, and the other part he hid up to make a premium for profit. That part was enough for this winter. What the capital needs, and he transported them all to the Weizhou Gate in the north of the capital. In addition, when the government ordered the government to landfill the wells, we filled in the unsafe wells in the future. Several good wells were all marked by the villagers, and they were all buried falsely. In addition, we didn't add any ingredients to the incense cakes used by the government. I guess it was already felt in the palace. I feel that it is different from the fragrant cakes offered in previous years. Yu Danian said with a cunning smile,

Wang pointed to him and said, "Well done, I knew that you must keep your hand."

"That's right, I've been with the prince for several years, and I know that the prince will definitely be able to turn the tide at the critical moment." Yu Da Nian smiled,

Wang saw that although there were many ups and downs, but when he saw everyone there, Wang's heart was clear. The old shopkeeper Cui Fu also said that he didn't worry about the green mountain without firewood. Wang sent someone to call Ruan Xing, introduced Ruan Xing to everyone, and then said to Ruan Xing, "Aren't you going to return the favor of the magistrate of Dongping Mansion? You take a car away. Emergency use first, and deal with the magistrate of Dongping first. When I have time to go, let's make a big plan for the development of Liangshan.

Ruan Xing was so happy that he couldn't agree: "Wang Shilang, you are really raining in time. No wonder people say that you are Xiao Mengchang. First of all, I would like to thank you on behalf of Shijie Village. Don't worry, only you are useful in our land. We can do it wherever you say."

Rain in time. That's Song Jiang, not Wang's side, but it's useless. They certainly don't know who Song Jiang is. Forget it. Let's get a trademark first. "Well, you don't have to praise me anymore. This time I'm in Liangshan thanks to take care of you. You go back to do things first. I'll deal with the things at hand and go again when I have a chance. Visit." (visit)

"Then buy a silver tael of coal." Ruan Xing estimated that

"You can give these silver taels to Yu Danian at a par price. Now it's not easy for the villagers of Jinxiang Mansion. Let's get through the difficulties for a while first." Arranged by the king,

Ruan Xing was even more happy to hear it. It was good to buy it, not to mention that he bought it at a cheap price. Lu Shenyan took two people to hand it over. Ruan Xing happily called the people from Shijie Village to drive the coal truck back to Liangshan,
