After wearing the book, she got the wrong script

Chapter 104
He family.

All the stewards gathered together, the gray-haired Madam He half leaned on the main seat in the middle, covering her nose and mouth with a handkerchief and coughing from time to time.

Guo Liulang stood beside Mrs. He with a gloomy expression.

Just now, the people below came to report that a group of people came from the iron forging kiln, rummaged through the workshop, and said that they wanted to take the samples left over from the supply of goods several times to go back for inspection.

Only then did they know that Second Uncle He and his party were detained when they went to deliver the goods.

"Too deceiving!"

One steward said angrily:

"I sent someone to inquire about Wang's and Jin's shops, and there was no one there to make trouble."

How could the coal of the wrought iron kiln be monopolized by their He family? I heard that the Wang family and the Jin family also contributed. Why is it that only the He family is under investigation, but the Wang family and the Jin family have not made any movement?

"Big Steward"

A young man hesitated and said, "Then Guanshi Wang is a bully and covetous master who takes so many benefits from us, so it shouldn't be like this, but since he came forward, someone must be forcing him to do so." If we do this time, we are afraid that we will offend some important person."

big shot.

Now that the He family is so down that they can't even provoke a small person, if this is really a big person, the He family may be doomed.

There was a moment of silence in the hall, obviously everyone was aware of the seriousness of the matter, thinking silently, looking at Mrs. He who was sitting in the main seat from time to time.

Mrs. He half closed her eyes, just like before, she didn't say a word, but the fatigue on her face seemed to be a silent expression.

"Can big people be indiscriminate?"

In the silence, an immature young male voice sounded with resentment, and everyone looked at Guo Liulang who spoke.

But this sight didn't stay for too long, and everyone quickly looked back.

Although Mrs. He has been in poor health for the past two years, Guo Liulang has done some things for Mrs. He one after another, but those are just some simple daily tasks, which cannot be compared with today's things.

Seeing that all the stewards were silent, Guo Liulang turned around and knelt down on one knee in front of his grandmother, saying in a deep voice:
"Grandmother, no matter what, it's important to rescue Second Uncle He and his party now. Let your grandson go."

These years have been struggling to support the He family, Mrs. He's body is very poor, she hasn't come out to discuss matters for a long time, and she has been supporting it since just now, when she heard her grandson's words, she slowly raised her eyelids and looked over.

This silly grandson, now he is the only sustenance of the He family, there is no time for him to act on his own will.

She waved her hand slowly.

"No one is allowed to go. We will give whatever Manager Wang wants. We will take care of things that need to be taken care of. Don't act rashly in other matters."

"grandmother"

Guo Liulang wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by his grandmother.

"Okay, don't panic, just wait and see."

Mrs. He forced herself to finish her sentence, followed by a series of coughing sounds. Guo Liulang didn't dare to say any more, and asked the maid to help his grandmother go back to the house to rest.

Half a cup of tea time passed quickly.

Bai Fu figured out what was going on——
This is a quality dispute where each party has its own reasons, and the two responsible parties shirk their responsibilities and just want to give an explanation to the above.

Steward Wang is the chief steward of the forge iron kiln. Not long ago, he approached the He family to buy a kind of coal with a metallic luster, which he said was for ironmaking.

They were used well, but today they were suddenly arrested because they tampered with the coal, making the newly smelted iron brittle.

After being arrested, Manager Wang insisted that it was the He family's coal problem, and forced them to confess their crimes and be punished. As a loyal He family member, He Er firmly believed that the quality of his products was outstanding, so he was unyielding and would rather die than bend for He's home defense.

But due to the lack of knowledge reserves, He Er couldn't explain why, so he could only insist.

As a result, Manager Wang was angered and he was beaten up.

And then there's this part where she breaks in.

From He Er's explanation, Bai Fu learned that the Hejia Coal Mine was in an absolutely weak position as Party B. Combining the news he had inquired in the town these days, Bai Fu could probably guess what the situation was.

She looked at He Er without words.

Regardless of whether it's the Hejia Coal's problem or not, you, a weak Party B, are arguing with the strong Party A, isn't it because you think you died fast enough?

They don't want to argue about right or wrong, what they want is an explanation!
How could the He family send such an inflexible person?
No wonder he was beaten so badly.

Bai Fu sorted out his thoughts, and pondered for a while about the key points, and he probably had a bottom line in his mind, so he stepped forward to return to Wang Guanshi's words.

"My lord, I don't think this dispute is about the iron kiln."

She first stated the conclusion in a concise manner, and then looked at shopkeeper Wang sincerely and solemnly, "The He family should give you an explanation."

Wang Guanshi's hand holding the tea paused, an imperceptible look of joy appeared on the brows, and his face, which had been stiff for a long time, eased a bit.

Finally came a non-blind mouth.

Then He Er was like a wall, which made his brain hurt.

He Er was shocked.

He looked at Bai Fu in disbelief——
This young master clearly promised him not to let He Jiaping bear the responsibility in vain, why did he change in the blink of an eye?
No hurries?
Bai Fu gave him a wink to signal him to be calm.

"Oh? How do you say that?" Steward Wang asked in a drawn-out tone.

This tone is very much like a good party A's father who is humble and reasonable.

Party A is willing to patiently listen to the following words, and the confrontation state is lifted, which is very good.

Bai Fu straightened his back and spoke eloquently.

"First, for such a large iron forging kiln, the craftsmanship has its own regulations, and it cannot be changed at will, so there should be no sudden problems with the forging iron kiln process."

Steward Wang nodded subconsciously, and then looked at Bai Fu with some approval.

He is such a cautious person, even if he had ten guts, he wouldn't dare to act recklessly. That's how he replied to his superiors. Unfortunately, the superiors didn't listen to him at all, and wanted to put the blame on him. He was also forced.

Unexpectedly, the young man expressed his heart in the first sentence, and shopkeeper Wang signaled Bai Fu to continue.

"Secondly," Bai Fu continued, "Although charcoal was changed to coal for forging recently, the previous batch of weapons are fine, which shows that it is feasible to use coal to make iron."

Steward Wang nodded again.

In the first half of the year, the iron kiln was short of finances, so the higher-ups gave him an order to reduce expenditure.

After thinking about it, he came up with the idea of ​​replacing charcoal with coal--
Nowadays, charcoal is getting more and more expensive, and coal in Anzhou is plentiful and cheap. The reason why no one wants to use coal to make iron is because old craftsmen say that iron made from coal is brittle.

He didn't believe it, so he asked various coal mines to send coal to try, and was pleasantly surprised to find that the iron smelted from the coal from the Hejia Mine did not become brittle.

Afterwards, he tried a few times in small batches, and the results were good. A few days ago, he had the courage to make a batch of weapons in large batches. The higher-ups were very satisfied, and praised him for his ability to handle affairs and promoted him to a senior manager.

Unexpectedly, before he was too happy, something went wrong with this batch of weapons, and the higher-ups wanted to hold him accountable.
It's not easy to be a low-level official.

He can only get the small head after fighting for everything, but he has to bear the big head when something goes wrong, so He Er dares to contradict him and complain to him.

He is still wronged!Who is he going to talk to?
Bai Fu looked at Guan Shi Wang's expression and knew that the heat was almost ready.

"The boy believes that to properly understand this matter, we must do two things as soon as possible:

First, confirm the problem.First confirm whether the coal mining point and coal preparation process of the two coals before and after Hejia coal are consistent, and analyze the two coal samples to confirm whether there is any difference in composition.

Second, solve the problem.If the coal composition is inconsistent, it is easy to handle, just strive for consistency.

If the coal composition is the same, under what circumstances will affect ironmaking, and under what circumstances will not affect, we must also analyze, so as to prevent the same problem from happening again from the source. "

what what?
Manager Wang didn't understand.

He was not a craftsman, and he didn't even know the craft of his own ironmaking, let alone the craft of coal.

But seeing that Bai Fu spoke with confidence, as if he was more of a master than his master, he admitted that he was bluffed.

He looked at Bai Fu calmly.

It's just a hairy kid who hasn't even grown a hair yet, but he can express his heart in a few words, and he behaves so confidently. If he doesn't have a plan in his heart, he really can't think of any other reasons.

Delay?

Want to escape?
Heh, the He family's wealth is here, where can they escape?

But is it really possible to solve the problem from the source?
When something happened, the higher-ups were blindly asking for responsibility. He was anxious and confused, and didn't have time to think about it. The adults above were probably similar to him.

The regent is about to come, where is the time to find the source of the problem for you!

So it can only be the He family's problem.

Save your own life first.

But what about after saving your life?

As the most basic manager, he knew very well that even if the responsibility fell to the He family this time, he escaped for the time being, but if the matter was closed for no apparent reason, who can guarantee that the same problem will not happen again in the future?
Where would he go to find a second scapegoat?
If it can be solved from the source.
Thinking of this, Wang Guanshi's eyes flickered slightly.

"Are you sure you can fix the problem at its source?" he asked.

Bai Fu nodded seriously, and said:

"The He family will definitely give Steward Wang a satisfactory explanation."

It seems that he is quite sure, even if he is a fool, he is courageous enough.

"He Er, do you think your nephew is right?" Steward Wang rolled his eyes and asked He Er.

He Er was silent.

Reasonable or not, it is a problem.

To say that the nephew didn't make any sense meant that there was something wrong with the iron forge kiln. According to Steward Wang's posture, they probably wouldn't be able to get out of the iron forge kiln today, and the He family couldn't get away with it either.

To say that the nephew is right is to say that there is a problem with the He family's coal, and the He family will be investigated. If there is a problem, or if there is no problem, the whole problem will be revealed
He couldn't imagine.

The He family is not as good as it used to be. Not only is it not as good as the Wang family and the Jin family, but it is difficult to maintain its operation now.

The reason why they can still gain a foothold in Wuhai Town is that a coal mine in their He family produces a kind of coal with a metallic luster, and this coal was selected as the official coal for the forge iron kiln of the Ministry of War a few days ago. As for continuing to decline.

If the official endorsement is not guaranteed, the He family may disappear in Wuhai Town.

So no matter whether he answered rightly or not, the He family had nothing to eat.

But Mrs. He has been kind to him in nurturing him, or should he take this responsibility and leave a glimmer of life to the He family?
Seeing the determination on He Er's face that he was about to die heroically, Bai Fu secretly sighed, walked to He Er's side and whispered:

"Don't worry, Second Uncle He, there is a way to solve this matter, it's important to gain some buffer time first."

He Er's body shook.

There is a solution?
He stared at Bai Fu in disbelief, and Bai Fu gave him a reassuring look.

Steward Wang grew impatient with the wait, and suspicion gradually grew in his eyes.

There wasn't much time for him to think fully, so Bai Fu gave He Er a wink.

He Er understood, gritted his teeth, and said to Guan Shi Wang:

"My nephew is right. My He family will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation."
