At the end of Qin, I became a son of the plane

Chapter 335, the mighty trend
Lam Tin Coal Field.

"Clang, clang, clang!" The workers who had just left the mine heard the sound of work stopping. They soon arrived at the main square.

"What's going on? We've only been working for an hour, and it's not lunch time yet." All the craftsmen felt strange.

"Don't know?" All the craftsmen standing in the square began to whisper and inquire about the situation.

At this time, Li Kai from Lantian Coal Mine stood on the high platform and shouted: "Workers, at the sage meeting yesterday, the "Artisan Law" proposed by the Mohist giant was rejected by the sages."

Li Kai pointed in the direction of Chang'an City and said loudly: "We have to speak out ourselves."

"Okay!" the craftsmen shouted.

"Don't go!" At this time, Ouyang Jie, the steward of Lantian Coal Mine, led a group of people over.

He said sternly: "Everyone is assigned to me as the mine director. Anyone who dares to leave the mining area will be fired. You must think carefully."

As soon as these words came out, everyone froze. Although the work in Lantian Coal Mine was dangerous, the salary was really high. The minimum salary in Chang'an City was only 600 yuan, while in Lantian Coal Mine, the salary included food and accommodation was 2000 yuan.

"Knowing what this means, there are millions of people in the cities and towns near Chang'an City Unicom. If they burn 5 kilograms of coal every day, they need 500 million kilograms of coal. The steel plant needs 50 kilograms of coal every day. Other brick kilns, paper mills, etc. It consumes several thousand to tens of thousands of kilograms of coal.

Li Kai said loudly: "I am responsible."

Ouyang Jie said angrily: "You can't take responsibility. If something goes wrong, the court will slap me. Not only will I be responsible for the Lantian Coal Field, but I will also be responsible for the millions of people in Chang'an City and the Chang'an Steel Plant."

Ouyang Jie even said angrily: "Sing whatever you want, let's get to work."

But all the craftsmen glared at Ouyang Jie.

"QL~~~~~~~~~~~~~~."

Yesterday, he was still training heavy cavalry in the military camp, but he heard that the "Craftsman's Decree" that the emperor had been working on for more than half a year had not been passed by the Council of Sages.

Ouyang Jie felt uncomfortable looking at Li Kai. The manager of Lantian Coal Mine was the top leader. This Li Kai was his subordinate, but relying on his relationship with the Mo family, he didn't take him as the top leader seriously at all. Find faults for yourself, or lead the craftsmen to create problems for yourself.

"QL~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~." The craftsmen present also sang this song to see Li Kai off. Just as Li Kai said, the light Li Kai and the others fought for, Sooner or later it will shine on them.

They all looked at Li Kai for a while.

Even for some minor accidents, he believed that there was no need to report them to the court. After all, it would affect the reputation of their coal mine in the court.

This is a craftsman's song taught by Xu Fan to the Mohists, and it has now been spread by the Mohists throughout the craftsmen in Chang'an City.

"Boss, Li Kai also has a background. We can't offend him too much. Let's forget it."

Chang'an City, Jingfu.

"QL~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~." The craftsmen who followed him away also sang loudly, and their voices spread throughout the mining area, deafening everyone.

"Do you think they can succeed?"

In this way, from the workshops and factories in Chang'an City to the craftsmen outside Chang'an City, tens of thousands of craftsmen in the entire Chang'an City came to the streets to support these scholars.

Ouyang Jie roared angrily: "Li Kai, you are standing here with the support of the Shaofu Ling, and you are lawless. I will definitely go to the court to sue you, so that you will not be able to survive in Lantian Coal Mine."

Li Kai said: "If you are willing to go to Chang'an City to participate in the demonstration, just come to the gate of the mining area. Even if the Lantian Coal Mine does not want you, I will go to the Shaofu Ling and ask him to find a new coal mine for us."

After hearing this, hundreds of craftsmen followed Li Kai out.

Ouyang Jie was so frightened that his subordinates pulled him and said, "Forget it, boss, let them sing. If something happens, we won't look good."

Jing Tao immediately asked for leave and returned to his home, wanting to know more about the situation.

Li Kai likes to ask the craftsmen to sing this song when he has nothing to do, so most of the craftsmen here know this song.

Every time an accident occurred in the coal yard, before he, the manager, reported it, Li Kai took the initiative to report it without consulting him at all.

"Now everyone listen to my orders and go down to the mine."

It can be said that the entire Chang'an City workshop needs our coal. If our Lantian Coal Field does not dig enough 600 million kilograms of coal every day, it will affect millions of people in Chang'an City and the production of the steel plant. The blast furnace cannot cease fire. , once the fire stops, a blast furnace will be useless. Can you bear this responsibility? "

"Sir, how did you vote? Why was the Craftsman Ordinance not passed?" Jing Tao said sadly.

Youdao is to worry about the minister's labor and to humiliate the minister's death. After hearing the news, the Han soldiers were filled with righteous indignation and wanted to kill the traitor. Who could this traitor be but a sage who has not provided the laws of the world? But his father is the oldest sage among the sages.

"I am the manager of the Lantian Coal Mine. I am in charge of everything big and small here. The task assigned by the court is to dig out enough coal mines to supply the lives of the people of Chang'an City and the steel factory for iron production."

But Li Kai said loudly: "For the remaining workers, you have families to support. I don't blame you. We will definitely succeed in fighting for the rights of craftsmen this time. Sooner or later, the light we fought for will shine on you. I hope there will be One day I can still have a drink and talk, and congratulate us on our victory.”

The miners began to disperse in twos and threes.

All the craftsmen hesitated.

If it were just these little things, Ouyang Jie wouldn't be so annoyed. The key is that this guy is so good at winning people's hearts. He went to the Shaofu Ling and said that the living conditions in the coal field were too poor and were not conducive to the production of craftsmen. The court could completely use coal. The raw materials in the field are sufficient to build cement houses.

So the Shaofu built a small three-story foreign-style building for them, with a better living environment than Chang'an City. Later, Li Kai tried to find ways to obtain welfare facilities such as a large bathhouse for workers to relax and a canteen. The entire Lantian coal mine craftsmen listen to Li Kai. His prestige exceeds that of anyone else, which Ouyang Jie cannot tolerate.

Then the others shouted: "If we don't all go to the mines and do things here, we don't need any salary."

Although there is a certain degree of danger, for the people who have just emerged from the turbulent times of the Warring States Period, this danger is nothing at all. Even if you really die, you will still receive a pension from the court, and you can get a salary of two thousand yuan just by selling your labor force. The whole of Guanzhong can be done here.

"What the imperial court wants us to do is to mine and dig out enough coal to supply Chang'an City, not to do other messy things. With your monthly salary of 2000, most people in Chang'an City have higher incomes, which is even more so. We must have this consciousness and focus on the tasks of the court. If we fail to complete the tasks and are blamed by the court, our golden rice bowl will be gone.”

"I don't know, but I hope they can succeed."

Li Kai said loudly: "I am protecting my own rights and interests, why can't I go?"

But Li Kai didn't care at all and said righteously: "Only by letting the court know about these small things and improve them can we avoid bigger accidents and cause greater damage."

This news frightened him to death. Isn't this just a slap in the emperor's face? A slap in the emperor's face is equivalent to a slap in the face of the entire man.

Jing Yi said cheerfully: "This has nothing to do with being a father. My father voted for it. It's just that this law was so unpopular that most of the sages voted against it, so it was not passed."

Since the founding of the Han Dynasty, he has been suffering from the emperor. Yesterday, he finally regained a victory. He felt a sense of revenge. From the time he came back yesterday to now, he has been in a very good mood.

Jing Tao said sadly: "My lord, my lord, you have always been shrewd, why are you so confused at this time?"

"You have told my child that this sage society is the emperor's jade seal, which is for the people of the world to see. You sages are just decorations. You know it so well. Why do you still make such mistakes? This jade seal can Do you have your own ideas?”

"What does this "Artisan Decree" have to do with us? As long as we are willing, my child can become a prince this year. By then, a feudal country will belong to our Jing family, so what does a few workshops mean?"

"And to establish a vassal state, not only money is needed, but also manpower and skilled craftsmen. I, the Jing family's craftsmen, can't even win over them, and they will treat them harshly. The "Artisan Decree" has no impact on our Jing family. Why are you doing this? It’s ugly to the emperor.”

"You make the Emperor look bad in this way. You are on the opposite side of the Emperor. Don't you know what happens to the Emperor's enemies?"

At this time, Jing Yi said with some panic: "This has nothing to do with being a father. If other wise men want to oppose it, what can a father do?"

At this time, it was extremely noisy outside Jingfu.

"Give producers enough rest."

"Four hours to rest, four hours to sleep, four hours to yourself."

The sound was deafening. "Something happened outside."

At this time, Jingyi's housekeeper ran over in a panic and said, "Sir, something is going wrong. There are many people outside the mansion and the street has been blocked. It seems that they are coming for us."

"Hurry up and ask your generals to stop them!" Jing Yi said in a panic.

"Slow down!" Jing Tao stopped him, "You must not take action at this time. As long as we take action, our Jing family will really be on the opposite side of the emperor. It is inevitable that the emperor will kill the chicken to scare the monkeys and kill us like chickens."

"Come here, protect me and leave through the back door!"

"promise!"

"The housekeeper hides valuables, account books and other things in the house."

"promise!"

"Remember not to retaliate when scolded or hit. If you can't handle it anymore, just run away."

"promise!"

After saying that, Jing Tao took his father and fled here.

At the same time, outside Jing Mansion.

Fang Hao stopped the parade and shouted: "This is the residence of the sage Jingyi. He was originally one of the aristocrats of the Chu State. His family owned thousands of acres of fertile land, as well as a shipyard, textile factory, paper factory, sugar factory, etc. There are thousands of craftsmen in this workshop, and with the work of these thousands of craftsmen, the Jing family can earn tens of thousands of gold every year. "

"Such a person becomes the sage of my great Han Dynasty. How could he agree with the Craftsman's Law? If the craftsman can rest more, he will make less money. He is not our sage, but the sage of the rich."

"Well said!" Everyone cheered.

"The wealth of the Jing family is obtained by exploiting thousands of craftsmen. If his family is rich, thousands of families will be poor. If there are more families like the Jing family, how will the world of Datong be built?"

"Down with the exploiter Jing Yi, the goods belong to all producers!" Fang Hao roared.

Everyone followed Fang Hao and roared: "Down with the exploiter Jing Yi, the goods belong to all producers!"

"Let's rush in and catch Jing Yi, the fake sage."

As Fang Hao shouted, everyone began to rush towards the gate of Jing Mansion.

"Hurry up! Find rocks to block the door, don't let them rush in," Butler Jingyi shouted.

But even though there were more than a dozen servants standing in front of the gate, it was not a city gate after all. People outside bumped into it more than a dozen times, and the gate was knocked open.

"Catch Jingyi!"

Everyone rushed into Jing Mansion.

"How dare you? This is the residence of the Marquis of the Han Dynasty."

As a result, a scholar directly punched the housekeeper and said: "You are the ones who are being beaten. You can't do anything loyal to the emperor even if you eat the emperor's salary. You also have the nerve to eat the salary of a big man. We and the people have fed the dogs with their wealth and wealth."

But these people didn't find Jing Yi, so they had no choice but to find the next sage's home.

Chang'an City, Zhuque Street, Fan Tower.

The princes of the Han Dynasty were watching and causing trouble, and the streets were filled with people.

Yingbu smiled and said: "No wonder Your Majesty didn't take action. It turns out that he had already prepared. Now the sages in Chang'an City are all in trouble."

"You deserve it. You even dare to disobey the emperor's orders. I really don't know what to say. The emperor said that the world belongs to the people of the world, but they really think that the world is in their hands."

"Ah! We brought down this world with one sword and one sword. If it's Yuxi, then we should do Yuxi's things well. They dare to rebel against Tiangang. If you really think that your majesty doesn't dare to kill anyone."

Only Ji Bu frowned and said, "The emperor did it so fiercely. There are hundreds of thousands of people here. A little carelessness will lead to catastrophe."

Such things were still very taboo in the feudal era. The organizational power in the feudal era was so poor that protests by hundreds of thousands of people could easily turn into riots.

Lu Chen said with a smile: "Do you think Chang'an City is in turmoil now?"

"This is Chang'an City. Qin Mo has taken root here for decades. Qin Bo has led the Mo family to develop here for three years. If he can't even do this, Qin Bo, a giant, might as well abdicate in favor of others."

Chen Xiao wondered: "This is a very small matter. If His Majesty asked for a show of hands at the sage conference, those sages would have dared not to raise their hands? Why would Your Majesty bother to do so?"

In fact, he still has a question. The people of the Han Dynasty are already living very well. Is there no reason for the emperor to break the current situation?

Ji Bu shook his head and said: "It is always difficult to guess what His Majesty is thinking, but this is not the normal state of the court after all. If every time the court makes an unfavorable decision, someone will cause trouble. How can the Han Dynasty maintain its status?"

At the same time, such a large-scale demonstration in Chang'an City was unprecedented, and naturally attracted the attention of the Han court.

Zhou Zhang, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, summoned the three ministers and nine ministers to discuss how to deal with the matter.

He looked at Qin Bo and said angrily: "Do you want to rebel?"

Qin Bo's behavior has touched Zhou Zhang's bottom line.

The Council of Sages was an organization where all parties in the Han Dynasty competed for power. As a result, Qin Bo staged such a massive demonstration because the Council of Sages dismissed his proposal.

This is not about losing and overturning the table, this is already about breaking the political system of the Han Dynasty. For Zhou Zhang, who established this system, this is intolerable.

Qin Bo said calmly: "This is a spontaneous act by the scholars of the Han Dynasty. Our Mohist family has no organization. We can only say that there is something wrong with the sages selected by the court. They cannot represent the people of the world. Now the people are beginning to express their own opinions." Voice, I think the court should review the selection system and why the selected sages cannot represent the interests of the people. "

Zhou Zhang glared at Qin Bo for a long time, but Qin Bo remained unmoved.

He could only say to Education Ling Fusheng: "Go and organize the masters of the college and ask them to bring back students from various colleges. The imperial court spent so much money to train them because it wanted them to become the pillars of the great man, not to let them Let them interfere in the government affairs. They want to govern the world and complete their studies first, instead of unscrupulously destroying the laws of the court. "

Fu Sheng said: "The imperial court has decided to build a world of great harmony, and the "Artisan Decree" is moving towards this goal. We don't think there is any problem with the students. Unless the imperial court does not build a world of great harmony, then we will Get the students back."

Fu Sheng was opposed to the "Artisan Law". He believed that Qin Bo Nong's law was too ambitious.

But at this time, he also felt that the world was in a state of great power. Scholars throughout Chang'an City agreed with the "Artisan Law", and the sages who opposed the law were now regarded as traitors by the students. Now even he could not oppose the trend.

Zhou Zhang said coldly: "Since the college feels that it has violated the imperial court's order, don't blame the imperial court for cutting off your money and food."

At this time, Shusun Tong stepped forward to calm down the atmosphere and said: "Prime Minister, why do you have to force others to make things difficult? How can this situation be solved by just a few masters?"

The fake Zhang Liang said: "Prime Minister, the most important thing for the court now is to maintain the stability of Chang'an City. If hundreds of thousands of people are in turmoil, the consequences are unimaginable."

Zhou Zhang looked at Wu Sheng, the general who joined the army, and Deng Zong, the general who oversaw the army, and said, "Please also ask the two generals to send the imperial army to maintain order in Chang'an City."

Wu Sheng and Deng Zong said: "We must have an order from the emperor before we can send troops."

Prime Minister Zhou Zhang had too much power. After he became prime minister, he had little contact with the Han military, and the generals of the Han Dynasty were also very wary of interacting with Prime Minister Zhou Zhang.

Zhou Zhang could only send someone to explain the current situation to the emperor and ask the emperor for orders to maintain order in Chang'an City.

Not long after, Wei Wei Chen Sheng came here and said: "The Emperor has an order to appoint Lu Hou Ge Ying as the general of the town army, leading 2 forbidden troops to maintain order in Chang'an City. Our rights as a Han Dynasty come from the people. Parades and demonstrations are the rights of the people in the world. The forbidden troops are not allowed to The imperial troops who harm the legitimate rights and interests of the people and maintain order are wearing armor and do not carry weapons, so they must not harm the soldiers and people of Chang'an City. "

"promise!"
