Chapter 38 Shatuo Remains
Zhao Kuangyin didn't care about anything else, he was only responsible for Ye Hua's safety.
When someone raised his dagger and was about to assassinate Ye Hua, Zhao Kuangyin took action. He poked his finger and grabbed the other party's wrist. He twisted it hard. The dagger landed on the ground. His body rotated and his elbow hit him hard, just behind the other party's head, and he immediately pounced!
With one move, two more guys rushed up. Zhao Kuangyin waved his arms and his fists were like iron hammers, and he knocked them to the ground in a blink of an eye.
The three guys who rushed out were all very agile. Unlike ordinary craftsmen, Ye Hua saw it and became more and more confident.
Guo Wei handed over the affairs of craftsmanship to him. If he still couldn't handle it well, it would be better to be successful. Ye Hua had learned his lesson and he found the stonemason to inquire about the situation of craftsmanship.
From the stonemason's mouth, Ye Hua learned that all the officials in the craftsman's office were Shatuo people. They usually exploited and bullied craftsmen to the point of being outrageous.
When it comes to these people, all the craftsmen hate them.
Ye Hua remembered it in his heart. When he entered the craftsmanship supervisor, he found that there were many people who looked like officials and soldiers, and he had a solution.
"Everyone has suffered. Don't you know who bullies you and who exploits you? Now it's Mr. Guo who has the final say. He is a man from the Han family. He has taken up weapons and takes revenge and revenge. Don't follow the enemy, do things that make the enemy happy!"
Ye Hua's voice was pretty good. The craftsmen present could hear it clearly, and they couldn't help but clench the wooden sticks in their hands.
The Shatuo officials and supervisors who were mixed in the crowd also felt a pair of vicious eyes. A cold air came from the back of their necks, and someone shouted wildly, "Don't listen to him, kill him quickly, there will be a reward!"
As soon as the man finished calling, he suddenly felt something was wrong and hurriedly turned around. The hammer just hit the face, the door collapsed, and his eyes were all smashed out!
It was the mute old blacksmith who took action!
He smashed this guy to death, raised the hammer high, and made a whimpering sound in his throat, as if he was crying and laughing, as if he was crazy. Looking at the old blacksmith, everyone's heart seemed to be stabbed by a needle!
There are faults and debts and there are masters!
It doesn’t matter to Mr. Guo!
"Kill!"
In an instant, all the craftsmen rushed towards the Shatu people.
Although they were strong and strong, they were not useful in the face of crowds and crowds, and were directly submerged. Zhao Kuangyin beat five or six people to death, and was stunned in the face of this situation.
He hurriedly came to Ye Hua's side.
"I'm talking about Ye Changshi, what's going on? Why did they fight by themselves?"
Ye Hua grinned and said, "This is called "I will die if I do unrighteous things." Ye Hua yawned and said lazily: "I can finally explain to the governor."
...
Not only an explanation, but it shocked Guo Wei.
Chai Rong introduced the situation, "Ye Hua entered the craftsmanship prison, and the craftsmen fought back one after another. The remnants of Shatuo, who took the lead in the rebellion, had a total of 236 people, 213 people were killed, 20 seriously injured, and 3 three people were slightly injured. They have been imprisoned and severely questioned!"
Guo Wei was a little confused, "A little craftsman is so good at hiding so many Shatuo people? Why didn't anyone report it in advance?"
Chai Rong explained: "It is crucial to be the supervisor of craftsmen, the supervisor of the military, and the supervisor of the weapons and armor. Since the Emperor Zhuang of Tang, Li Cunxu, the people of Shatuo have been in charge. There are more and more Han officials in other yamen, but these two places cannot be poured into water!"
Although Guo Wei was the Privy Councilor, he had been leading troops outside and was not clear about the matter in the capital. In addition, Feng Dao was not in the capital, which almost made Guo Wei make a big mistake!
"Those wastes from the Ministry of Works! They were all blinded by lard! It was clearly the Shatuo people who were instigating trouble behind their backs. They actually wrote a letter to impeach Ye Hua, saying that it was his contract. Do these beasts still have the face to be officials? They have all been dismissed!"
Chai Rong agreed and was about to give an order.
Guo Wei said again: "They will be removed from the ground and will be sent to the Heavenly Prison. Check it out to see if they collude with the Shatuo people! If so, kill them immediately!"
"yes!"
After dealing with this matter, Guo Wei's old face turned red.
What should I do with Ye Hua?
He believed the Ministry of Works and scolded Ye Hua. As a result, behind the troublemakers, the Shatuo people turned out to be counterattacked. Guo Wei was embarrassed.
Ye Hua suffered aggrieved and ignored the danger and ran to quell the chaos. He not only eliminated the remnants of Shatuo, but also protected thousands of craftsmen, and avoided the chaos in the capital... This credit is not enough to be rewarded, but what can be rewarded?
Guo Wei couldn't think of it for a moment.
Chai Rong said, "Father, my child observes Ye Hua's business methods and has some experience. My child is preparing to dredge the Bian River, encourage business, build an outer city, and place merchants from the south and north. If my father allows, he might as well give all the thousands of craftsmen to Ye Hua and ask him to be responsible for dredging the Bian River and building a new city. My child believes that with Ye Hua's ability, he will definitely make the national treasury rich and sufficient expenses."
Guo Wei grabbed his beard and smiled slightly, "That boy's waist bag is also guaranteed to be full! For nothing, let him do it. But for such a big thing, he, a child, cannot coordinate the overall situation, so send another person!"
"Father, the child recommends Fan Zhi, he is a clerk!"
Guo Wei had heard of Fan Zhi's fame, but when he entered Kaifeng, he did not find him, which was very regretful.
"Where did you find Fanzhi?"
"Returning to his father, Fan Zhi hid in Daxiangguo Temple in order to avoid disaster. The child went to visit him. He finally agreed to come out of the mountain to assist his father."
When Guo Wei heard this, he smiled and quickly asked someone to bring a cloak and give it to Fan Zhi. At the same time, he appointed Fan Zhi as the deputy envoy of the Privy Council and the Minister of Works, supervising the construction of the Three Departments of the River and Canal Departments and the Three Departments, and taking charge of the construction of rivers and city construction.
Ye Hua also obtained a new official position and was appointed as the deputy envoy of the river and canal to assist Fan Zhi in completing the project.
After receiving the order, Ye Hua was not very happy.
What is this? I slap it and give it a sweet date. I don’t know how to apologize. I just want to send you a job at any official position. Believe it or not, I will build the Bian River into a tofu project!
Ye Hua was very unhappy, but the craftsmen seemed to have been injected with chicken blood and were full of energy.
"That... Ye Changshi, do you need people to repair the river?"
"It's a lot of use!" Ye Hua said angrily: "You are all guilty now. Show me well and repair the project. You can not only get rewards, but also have a place to settle down. If anyone doesn't work hard, they will probably be slaves for generations and will be a slave forever. Do you understand?"
"I understand, understand, understand everything!"
The craftsmen nodded obediently. To be honest, Ye Hua's attitude has never been very good, but the craftsmen just took this trick. They were instigated by the Shatuo officials, saying that other craftsmen received special treatment, but they had nothing. They were immediately angry, and many people were confused and made trouble.
Looking back now, I feel chill.
If Ye Hua was not appearing, but Wang Jun was responsible, I am afraid that many of them would have turned into cold corpses... They would have lived, worked, and hoped, and they would have been very content. If anyone was too enthusiastic about them, they would scare these poor people. They were like people who had just figured out from the darkness, and it would take some time to adapt to the light to live a normal life.
But the craftsmen didn't know that this very unsuccessful counterattack caused more trouble. After interrogation, it was found that two people who instigated the rebellion came from, one was the general Murong Yanchao and the other was the guest provincial envoy Yan Jinqing.
This Murong Yanchao is the half-brother of Liu Zhiyuan, the Emperor Gaozu of the Later Han Dynasty. He didn't care about these things in the troubled times of the Five Dynasties. Murong Yanchao was still valued. He was very cunning and cunning.
As for the Guzhou Envoy Yan Jinqing, he was an upright gentleman, but this man was very foolish and loyal to the Later Han Dynasty and was stubborn.
"So these two beasts are doing the trick!"
