Great Song Super Scholar

Chapter 359
After more than [-] days of sea voyage, the summer fleet of the Song Dynasty arrived at Kunnan Bay. The reason why they came to Tang County instead of Han County was because the wharf in Han County was not fully repaired and there were no warehouses. The county is so mature.

Of course, the most important reason is that the state government has not moved to Han County, and it is still in Tang County. The government office and mansion in Han County have not been completed yet, and Fan Ning still has his own house in Tang County.

Fan Ning walked off the big boat with his lovely wife, and was greeted by Yu Xiaonian, the judge of the Overseas Economic and Strategy Mansion, who is also the Sima of Kunzhou. When Fan Ning was not in Kunzhou, he handled the state affairs on his behalf.

"Refer to Zhizhou for a humble job, and welcome Zhizhou back!"

Fan Ning couldn't help being slightly taken aback, Yu Xiaonian's expression was very serious, his lips were pursed into a line, this is not the attitude he should have when welcoming himself.

Did something happen in Kunzhou?
Fan Ning looked at the other subordinates who came to greet him, and everyone looked a little uneasy.

Something must have happened!

Fan Ning turned around and said a few words to Zhu Pei. Zhu Pei nodded and waited patiently with Jian Meizi and Aya.

Fan Ning invited Yu Xiaonian aside, and said in a deep voice, "Just tell me, what happened during my absence in Kunzhou?"

"It's true that something happened, not too big but not too small." Yu Xiaonian sighed.

Fanning did not interrupt him, and listened to him go on.

"There was a firefight between Japanese laborers and Kunzhou people six days ago, and 15 people died." Yu Xiaonian directly stated the final result.

Fan Ning narrowed his eyes and asked coldly, "And then?"

"The situation is a bit tense now. Three people from the Kun clan died, and they refused to give up. We must hand over the fire and Japanese labor to them, otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?"

Yu Xiaonian sighed: "They said that if we shelter Japanese laborers, they will return to their ancestral land."

The so-called 'ancestral land' of the Kun people is the current location of Han County, Fan Ning snorted coldly, he was threatening himself!

It seems that I am too kind to these Kun people, one by one I started to push my nose and face.

"Tell me first, why did they conflict?"

"It's a team of Japanese laborers building roads..."

Yu Xiaonian told Fan Ning about the incident in detail.
The construction between Tang County and Han County has been completed, but there are still some finishing work, which will be completed by 1000 Japanese laborers. These [-] people are divided into ten teams, responsible for the finishing work of each section.

This happened to the fifth team of workers. When they were working, they accidentally found a dead bear on the side of the road. Of course, the hundred Japanese workers were overjoyed. They immediately skinned and cut the meat, and grilled the bear meat for a delicious meal.

But this bear was the prey of several Kunzhou hunters. When they found that their prey was eaten by Japanese laborers, they had a quarrel. Feeling extremely resentful in their hearts, they recruited more than a dozen hunters to help.

The two sides quarreled fiercely, and soon a fire broke out. The Japanese laborers died 12 people and injured more than [-] people, while the Kun people died [-] people and injured [-] people.

Of course the Kun people didn't do it. The leader Wu Gan immediately led hundreds of people to take revenge, and the Japanese laborers also gathered thousands of people. The Song army sent troops in time to separate the two sides.

Yu Xiaonian negotiated with the Kun tribe in an attempt to calm down the incident, but Wu Gan, the leader of the Kun tribe, took a tough attitude and asked the government to hand over the Japanese laborers who participated in the fire war to them. Seventy or eighty Japanese laborers were involved. How could Yu Xiaonian be handed over to them? Things froze.

At the end, Yu Xiaonian sighed and said, "I negotiated with the Kun people three times, and they got tougher each time, and threatened me that if I don't hand over the Japanese laborers to them within five days, they will collectively move back to their ancestral land."

"What day is it now?"

"It's the third day!"

Fan Ning nodded, and said to Yu Xiaonian: "You send someone to tell Wu Gan that I'm back, I'll handle this matter, let him come to me directly, and send someone there now!"

"Humble job understands!"

Yu Xiaonian heaved a sigh of relief, he didn't have a high prestige among the Kun people, and the Kun people didn't think much of him, but Fan Zhizhou was different. When Fan Zhizhou came back, this embarrassing matter might be resolved with a single sentence.

Yu Xiaonian immediately arranged for one of his men to ride to the Kun tribe on horseback.

Fan Ning returned to Tang County with his lovely wife.

As for Gao Shilin, Zhu Sheng, the Yang family, the Pang family and others, Mingren took them to inspect the gold mine first, and Fan Ning could not take care of them for the time being.

Tang County is still so prosperous. Compared with two months ago, there seem to be a few more shops in the city, a carpenter's shop and a blacksmith's shop.

There is a big wheel in front of the carpenter's shop. Two men, one old and one young, are installing a carriage. It looks like father and son.

The most serious team problem in Kunzhou is the lack of labor. Kunzhou has always refused to allow ordinary households to hire Japanese laborers. As a result, almost no shops can hire people, and the owners can only sit in charge.

In addition to the busy carpenter's shop, the sound of tinkling irons adds a bit of popularity to this quiet small county.

The blacksmith shop is a brick house, which is a special regulation in Kunzhou. Any shops involved in the fire must use brick or mud houses, and wooden houses are not allowed.

The problem of fire prevention has always been a major hidden danger in the counties of Kunzhou. They are all wooden houses.

As early as the year before last, Fan Ning formulated Kunzhou's first state law, "Kunzhou Fire Prevention Rules". Everyone must strictly abide by it. Once they violate it more than twice, they will be expelled from the county and live in the countryside.

For example, the county is divided into [-] fire prevention areas. As long as a house in this area catches fire, all the families in the area must come out to fight the fire.

Another example is that each area has military patrol shop houses and fire watch towers, that is, the fire brigade of the Song Dynasty. Every house is equipped with fire forks, big ropes, iron cats and other fire-fighting equipment, especially large and small buckets and sprinklers.

In addition, starting this year, Fanning intends to gradually transform the wooden houses in the county into brick and tile houses. This is the measure to fundamentally reduce fire hazards.

Fan Ning brought Jupe to his house soon. Fan Ning's house has been slightly remodeled. It covers an area of ​​about two acres of land and has walls built around it. It consists of three wooden houses, one big and two small. Font distribution.

The big wooden house is the living room, dining room, living room, etc. There are two smaller wooden houses at the back, one is the bedroom of Fanning and Zhu Pei, and the other is for Jianmeizi and Aya.

After the official residence in Han County is repaired, the courtyard will either be handed over to the county government, or bought with its own money. It will not be cheap, and it will be calculated according to the market price.

Fan Ning was going to buy it, and he also had a place to stay when he toured Tang County.

Soon, the soldiers brought his luggage, and dozens of large boxes filled the room.

"You get out! You get out!"

Ju Pei pushed Fan Ning out of the room, "It's our women's business to pack our luggage, you, a big man, don't get involved!"

Talked as if she used to pack her bags a lot.

Fan Ning scratched his head and smiled, "Shouldn't you take a bath first, and then go eat?"

"Yes!"

Speaking of taking a bath, Zhu Pei became excited. She found that she liked the taste of taking a bath in the hot spring here more and more, and she never forgot the comfort of taking a bath in Xindao.

Although there are special bathhouses on the street, they don't go there. They meet a bunch of aunts and aunts, and there are even Japanese prostitutes in them, and they don't go if they kill Zhu Pei.

Just do what you say, Fan Ning and Jian Meizi ran to fetch water, Aya was in charge of cleaning the bathing pool, Zhu Pei, of course, was in charge of directing.

The bathing pool is actually an extra-large wooden barrel, almost every household has one, especially in winter, every household takes a hot spring bath every day.

The wooden barrel in Fanning’s house was added later. It is still a new wooden barrel. It has not been used, and it is four square meters. It takes at least two dozen barrels of water to fill it. There is a cork under it. The water flows directly into the stone ditch on the street and continues to the outside of the city.

However, as the magistrate, Fan Ning still has some privileges. His house is less than fifty steps away from the mouth of the hot spring. The government specially installed an elevated stone trough for water diversion. As long as you step on the water wheel at the hot spring, the hot spring will flow through the stone trough. When you go to the yard, you can just pick up the water directly in the yard, instead of running to the hot spring with a bucket to fetch water.

Two soldiers stepped on the water cart at the hot spring, and streams of boiling hot spring water flowed into Fan Ning's courtyard. Fan Ning and Jian Meizi took turns carrying the water. In just a moment, dozens of buckets of hot water filled the big bucket pool.

"Husband, why don't you go to the dormitory for a while! You are not needed here."

Fan Ning was kicked out of the house by Zhu Pei again, Jian Meizi and A Ya also had to take a bath, what is he here?
"I'll go to the store to take a shower, and then I'll wait for you at Lao Luo Ji Restaurant!"

Fanning left a word and went out.
