Great Song Super Scholar

Chapter 360
At dawn the next day, Fan Ning came to the government office. Logically, he could rest for a few more days, but the conflict between the Kun people and the Japanese laborers was like an iron fire thunder that had already ignited the match, and it was about to explode at any time. Fan Ning No mind to rest.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the official office, Yu Xiaonian greeted him out.

"I was about to go to Zhizhou, and Zhizhou came. There is news from the Kun people."

"Go to the government to talk, this is not a place to talk."

The two came to Fan Ning's official room. The official house had been cleaned up, and there was almost no difference from before Fan Ning left. Fan Ning sat down in his official chair and asked, "Tell me! How is the situation?"

"Reporting to Zhizhou, the situation seems a bit bad!" Yu Xiaonian said in a deep voice.

Fan Ning was startled, "What's going on, Wu Gan won't come to see me?"

Yu Xiaonian nodded, "Wu Gan said, you just want to persuade the peace, but he will not accept the settlement, but extend the five-day deadline to ten days, and the Japanese laborers must be handed over to them, otherwise... ..."

"Otherwise, move back to the original location?"

Yu Xiaonian did not speak, and acquiesced to Fan Ning's meaning.

Fan Ning sneered and said: "This Wu Gan really regards himself as a character, and threatened him together with me!"

"Zhizhou, I'm afraid things are not that simple!"

"What do you mean by that?" Fan Ning raised his eyes, staring at Yu Xiaonian sharply.

"Let the courier tell Zhizhou himself!"

Yu Xiaonian walked to the door and waved to the courtyard, "Come in and report to Zhizhou!"

After a while, a young official walked in quickly, bowing and saluting: "See Zhizhou for humble posts!"

This person has a dark and thin face, but his eyes are piercing. Fan Ning knows him. Cai Zhu, a Kunzhou official, was also a Jinshi in the list last year. His duty is to educate the Kun people.

Fan Ning knew that he came back overnight and didn't sleep all night, so he nodded to comfort him and said, "Thank you, Mr. Cai Si!"

Cai Zhu showed a trace of embarrassment, "This is a matter of the humble job, and it is also caused by the humble job not doing enough to teach the Kun people."

"Stop talking about that, tell me what happened yesterday, what's wrong with it?" 1
"Beizhi ran into a wall at Wu Gan's place yesterday, and when he was about to return, he was stopped by Savin and took me to his tent."

Savin is the brother of the former chief of Kunzhou, Sapp, and the uncle of the current chief, Wu Gan, and has a high prestige within the Kun clan.

Cai Zhu continued: "Sa Wen told me that at the beginning of the year Wu Gan married a wife, and he came from Japan."

Fan Ning was startled for a moment, and immediately realized, "The Kun people from Japan?"

"Exactly! It's the daughter of the chief of the Kun tribe in Deyu Kingdom."

Fanning waved his hand, "And then? Continue talking."

"Savin told me that since the daughter of the chief of the Kun tribe in Deyu Kingdom married the Kun tribe in Kunzhou, the two families have had a close relationship, especially since the woman's elder brother has been staying in Kunzhou this year. This time, Wu Gan's attitude is tough. clarify the relationship."

Fan Ning walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, his brows became tighter and tighter, and finally he turned around and asked Yu Xiaonian, "How could he be such a person?"

Of course Yu Xiaonian understood what Fan Ning meant, and bowed and said, "The Kun tribe selects the patriarch based on bravery, and doesn't consider anything else. This Wu Gan is capable of fighting bears, and he is the first in bravery, so he will undoubtedly become the chief, but he does have a brain Relatively simple, and irritable, easy to be provoked."

Cai Zhu also said: "Sa Wen also said that Wu Gan is easy to be provoked, and he doesn't think about the consequences when doing things."

Fanning sneered and asked, "Since Savin knows that his nephew is simple-minded and has a bad temper, has he tried to persuade Wu Gan?"

Both Yu Xiaonian and Cai Zhu were stunned, they looked at each other, Yu Xiaonian cautiously said: "What Zhizhou means is that this Sa Wen didn't persuade Wu Gan, did he intend to kill someone with a knife?"

"Maybe I'm worrying too much!"

Fan Ning said indifferently: "Perhaps Savin is only worried about the safety of the clansmen and being hurt by Wu Gan's recklessness, so he expressed his position to Cai Sishi in time."

Cai Zhu nodded and said: "It should be both. I had this feeling at the time. Savin told me repeatedly that if he became the chief, he would allow Kun children to go to school."

At present, Kunzhou has made very slow progress in the assimilation of the Kun people. Except that the Kun people have adopted some habits of the Song people in terms of clothing and living utensils, and even learned to drink tea, but they are extremely resistant to the education of children. So far no one has been built. School.

Fan Ning pondered for a moment and said, "I'll talk about this later. I'm more concerned now. What do the Kun people in Japan want to do? Why provoke the conflict between the Kun people and Kunzhou?"

Speaking of Japan, that is Yu Xiaonian's home game, he has been paying attention to the trends of Japan.

Yu Xiaonian thought for a while and said, "Could it be related to the battle of Mutsu Kingdom?"

"What is the situation of the Abe family now?" Fanning asked.

"At present, Abe Yoshitoki personally leads [-] troops to fight against Minamoto's [-] troops in the southern part of Mutsu Country. The war has lasted for more than a month."

Fan Ning walked back and forth a few steps, then turned to the two of them and said, "If the troops of the Qingyuan family from the Izuha Kingdom attack the Abe family's lair from behind, do you think the Abe family will ask us for help?"

"If the Abe family is attacked by enemies, there is indeed such a possibility!"

Yu Xiaonian suddenly understood, "What Zhizhou means is that the Qingyuan family wants to send troops to attack the Abe family, but they are afraid that we will send troops to interfere, so they stir up conflicts between the Kun family and the government, so that we can hardly be distracted?"

Fan Ning smiled faintly, "This is just my guess. I don't know if this is the case."

"So how do we deal with the current crisis?"

"Crisis?"

Fan Ning shook his head and smiled, "It's not a dangerous situation yet, we don't need to do anything, just wait patiently!"

Speaking of this, Fan Ning said to Cai Zhuo again: "Master Cai Si, please keep an eye on the Kun people. If there is any change, please notify me immediately!"

"Subordinates obey!"

At dawn, a few horses galloped out from Tang County to the labor camp twenty miles away. The man on the horse was Fan Ning, who had just arrived in Kunzhou yesterday. He was going to the labor camp to learn more about the conflict. This matter is not big, but it is not small. If it is not handled properly, it may cause large-scale conflicts. This is definitely not what Fanning wants to see.

Not long after, Fan Ning arrived at the labor camp. At present, there are about 2 Japanese laborers in Kunzhou, who are distributed in road construction, city construction, mining, logging, and brick burning. At present, the largest number of Japanese laborers engaged in mining is about 1 Ten thousand people, followed by the construction of the city. Although the main body of the county seat of Han County has been completed, there are still docks, warehouses, houses in the city, etc. About 6000 people are busy in Han County, followed by burning bricks and tiles, and about 3000 people are in Tang County. The large-scale burning of bricks nearby will gradually replace the wood. Finally, 1000 people will be the finishing touches for road construction.

Of course, Kunzhou will soon start building a road from Han County to Jin County in the future. Once the warehouse and wharf in Han County are completed, road construction will begin.

In Fan Ning's plan, [-] Japanese laborers are enough. If there are too many laborers, not only will management be troublesome, but also a little bit of foreign population will take over, which may not be a good thing for Kunzhou.

After a while, they came to the gate of the camp. There are currently [-] Japanese laborers living in this camp. They are mainly engaged in burning bricks and building roads. Dozens of Japanese laborers who have clashed with the Kun people are currently living here.

As soon as Fan Ning got off his horse, a burly young official with a dark face came out to meet him. It was Li Dashou, an official from Jingzhou, but Jingzhou had not yet been developed, so he was doing temporary errands to manage Japanese laborers.

"See the magistrate for a humble job!" Li Dashou bowed and saluted.

Fan Ning patted his arm with a smile, "How long have I been here, why don't I know?"

"Not long after Zhizhou returned to the capital, I was transferred here and only worked for more than a month."

Fanning nodded, "Let's go in and talk!"

He walked quickly into the camp, several officials followed behind him.

"Dashou, manage Japanese workers here, do you speak the language well?" Fan Ning asked with a smile.

"There was an interpreter, and I learned a few words myself."

"But I'm afraid you won't be here for too long."

Li Dashou's eyes lit up, and he was pleasantly surprised: "Has the imperial court approved the establishment of a county in Jingzhou?"

Fan Ning smiled and said, "The court hasn't approved it yet, but I have some ideas."

Of course, the imperial court has not yet approved the establishment of a county in Jingzhou, but Fan Ning has found a workaround. They can build a town in Jingzhou first, but this is the power of the state government. As long as it is profitable, people will gather more and more , the county is a natural success.

The crowd surrounded Fan Ning and walked into the official tent. Fan Ning sat down on the big chair in the middle, and there were more than a dozen chairs at the bottom. Fan Ning called everyone to sit down.

At this time, Li Dashou asked cautiously: "Did Zhizhou come for the conflicting Japanese laborers?"

Fanning nodded, "I want to know the most basic situation, preferably the dictation of the direct participants."

He had read the detailed report of the conflict last night, but he felt that some key details were missing in the report, so he wanted to ask about it today.

"Should Zhizhou need a low-level job and find someone now?"

"can!"

Li Dashou hurried out, and soon brought in two Japanese laborers in blue coarse work uniforms. They were very short, less than 1.5 meters tall, but they were quite strong.

The two already knew Fan Ning's identity, and they knelt down and kowtowed when they came in. Li Dashou introduced from the side: "These two are the laborers who first discovered the dead bear. They were slightly injured in the conflict, and they are fine now."

Fanning nodded and asked, "What's your name?"
