Chapter 117 Mine Disaster
I rode Xiaobai to the Longxing Iron Mine. I wanted to ride Xiaohei, but that guy was so angry that he wouldn’t let me touch him. I was angry and anxious, and I pulled Xiaobai out, viciously. Authentically: "I told you to play your temper, I will take your wife away." Seeing that I took his wife away, Xiao Hei bared his teeth and got angry at me.Speaking of which, Xiao Hei really recognizes his master. The only ones who have ridden him are Er Lun, An Yuanxi and Danny. When Yu Dieer sent Danny to apprentice, he refused to let Yu Dieer ride him. , so Yu Dieer rides the well-behaved Xiaobai all the way.

After running on the mountain road for a day, all the bones in my body were shaking.When it was getting dark, there were bits and pieces of light shining in the mountain depression, Yunde followed closely behind me and said loudly: "Young Madam, the Longxing Iron Mine is ahead."

"Hurry up!" I said loudly, I don't know how Yun Tianchang handles the accident, I hope he can control the situation.When I was about to enter the gate of the mine, I found that there was a hustle and bustle there. Many people gathered around the gate and shouted for the sky. When I got closer, I saw men, women and children, all with sad expressions and crying into tears. Some people angrily patted the closed mine. The gate looks like a miner's family.Seeing a few of us riding over, someone rushed out to stop the horse. I quickly stopped the horse and stared at the young man standing in front of the horse. The young man stared at me and said angrily, "Are you from the Yun family?"

Yun De said angrily: "This is the young lady of our Hou Mansion, get out of the way!"

As soon as I said this, more people surrounded me. Yunli and Yunzhen rode their horses to protect me, and a white-haired old woman threw herself in front of the horse and cried bitterly: "Young Madam, my son and I What happened to the grandson, the people in the mine didn't allow us to go in, it's been three days, and there is no letter, are they dead or alive..."

I was startled, what is Yun Tianchang doing these days?Didn't he do conciliatory work?The young man glared at me and said angrily: "How long do you think you can hide such a big thing? Why don't you let us in?" Suddenly, the crowd was furious, and someone shouted loudly: "Someone of us has already gone to the county government office. Everyone will bring people here soon..."

Aren't all the families of the victims here?I couldn't let the situation continue to expand, so I quickly got off my horse and said loudly, "Everyone, be quiet!"

I helped the old woman who was crying bitterly, and comforted me: "Grandma, don't worry, I will let people solve the mine disaster as soon as possible. I guarantee that your family will see people alive and dead bodies."

The crowd quieted down, I looked around, and raised my voice: "Fellow folks, I am also very sad that this accident happened at Longxing Iron Mine. I know that there are your relatives in it, and your life and death are uncertain now. I am very considerate of you." Mood, please don't worry, I am here this time to deal with this matter, after I go in and understand the situation, I will give you an answer as soon as possible."

"Can you be the master?" the boy asked suspiciously.Yunde said loudly: "She is the wife of our young master, she can definitely make decisions!"

"Yunde, let them open the door!" I smiled faintly, Yunde was startled, his eyes swept across the crowd, "Young Madam..."

I looked at the crowd around me and said loudly: "I know everyone is worried about the situation inside, I will let everyone in, but please don't run around, stay at the place we arranged and wait for news. The situation is still unclear, if everyone runs up the mountain, it is very dangerous, please cooperate, otherwise, if your relatives survive and you have an accident, it will make them very sad. Can you promise me?"

The crowd whispered to each other "buzzing", and after a while, they all nodded and agreed loudly.Yunde stepped forward to send a signal and bounced it into the night sky. After a while, the gate of the mine opened slowly, and the crowd rushed forward. I said loudly, "Everyone, don't rush, go in one by one, and don't get hurt in the chaos."

I rode my horse and ran ahead, and Yun Tian often brought people to wait for me not far from the gate.Seeing that I brought the relatives of the miners in, my face was a bit ugly, I looked down at him, and said loudly: "Uncle Chang, let someone prepare a place for the relatives of the miners to rest, and prepare hot rice and soup for them."

Yun Tianchang ordered people to go with a sullen face, and then took me to the meeting hall.As soon as he entered the door, he complained: "Young Madam, if you let them in, it will be troublesome if they make trouble..."

"Trouble?" I sat straight on the main seat and raised my eyes coldly, "So you are afraid of the relatives of the miners making trouble, so you don't allow them to come in? You don't know that when they are so angry, it is the best policy to appease them Do you know that some family members of the miners have gone to the prefectural yamen?"

Yun Tian often said indifferently: "Then what's the matter? Lord Fu Ya will suppress it."

It seems that the friendship between the Yun family and the government is indeed good, I snorted softly: "Nothing? If someone with good deeds picks up a little bit, it may stir up a civil uprising! I'm afraid the lord of the government office will not be able to suppress it."

Yun Tianchang's expression changed: "It's not that serious, is it?"

"Not so serious?" I sneered, "If it's true, can you afford the consequences?"

"This..." Yun Tianchang's expression changed, and he couldn't answer.I waved my hand: "Tell me about the situation in the mine first."

"It was a sudden collapse of the Tianzi No. [-] mine. The cause is still unknown. All the miners were buried inside. We are currently digging and rescuing them." Yun Tianchang said simply.

"How many miners are buried in there?" I pressed.

"About nearly 100 people!" Yun Tianchang said.

"Probably?" I looked up at him, and said angrily, "It's been three days, and you're still giving me a rough idea? What's the exact number? Who are they? Is there a list?"

Yun Tianchang was stunned: "Young Madam, we are still investigating, and I just arrived this morning. There has never been such a big accident in the mine, and it will take some time to deal with it. You don't know the situation in the mine. Condition……"

"Search?" I cut him off with a cold look.Is the management of this iron mine really so chaotic?Say I don't understand the situation, and use my seniority to pressure me?I looked at Yun Tianchang coldly, and said coldly: "Uncle Chang, there is no general list of miners, right? How many people are in charge of each mine? How many groups are they divided into? Which group was it at the time of the incident?" Working underground? If you don’t even know this, then ask someone to count the names of the living people in the mine, and record the list of those who are not there, who are not working, and who are missing. Get the exact number and list of the missing miners.” He may not take the lives of the miners seriously, but I know too well how terrible the power of the outbreak will be if the people living at the bottom are in turmoil.

Yun Tianchang's eyes showed surprise, the more he listened, his face became paler, and he turned around to leave, I called him: "Wait a minute, call all the supervisors of the iron mine, I want to see who is in charge!" I came to deal with the mine disaster, but I didn't bring the mine stewards to see me, did I think I could be dismissed with a few words?
Yun Tianchang went out with a pale face, Yunde looked at me, a little surprised and said: "What does Young Madam want to do?"

"Let's not talk about the cause of the accident. After the accident, they did not actively organize the aftermath work to appease the relatives of the miners. They couldn't find out the number of miners buried in the mine. This shows that their usual labor organization and safety management are seriously chaotic. Why are the people angry?" I said calmly.

Yun Tian often brought in the stewards and foremen of the Longxing Iron Mine.I looked at the dozen or so people in front of me, and said calmly, "Who is the foreman of Tianzi No. [-] Mine?"

"It's me..." A foreman stood up, I glanced at him, and said calmly, "Tie him up!"

Yun Tianchang was stunned, the rest of the people looked suspicious, and the foreman was even more shocked: "Why did you tie me up?"

"You are in charge of the mine, but you don't know who is digging in your mine at what time. Isn't it enough to punish you?" I said coldly.

"I, I..." He turned his head and looked at the manager with a cold sweat on his face, "Manager Zhao..."

"Don't call him. I still have something to ask him." I glanced lightly at Manager Zhao, who was in charge of the Longxing Iron Mine, and saw that his face was pale, and he didn't dare to look at me with his head down. I smiled lightly and said, "Zhao Manager, tell me about the rescue situation."

"We organized a team of people to be responsible for the rescue. Now we have dug some of the blocked mine shafts, but at the beginning there was not enough manpower, so the progress was relatively slow. After Deacon Yun came, he ordered a stoppage of work and sent additional manpower. Now the mine has been rescued. A dozen people came out..."

"Insufficient manpower at the beginning?" I interrupted him, "Why not enough?"

"Yes, in order not to affect the mining of iron ore, we recruited more than a dozen people from each mine to rescue..." Manager Zhao hurriedly said.

"You mean, after such a big accident, you still let other mines continue mining?" I glanced at him.

"Yes, the mine has been doing this before..." Manager Zhao hurriedly said when he saw my face darken.

"You gave this order?" I asked lightly.

"Yes..." Manager Zhao glanced at me anxiously, and quickly lowered his eyelids.

"Tie him up too." I waved my hand, Yun Li immediately stepped forward to arrest him, Manager Zhao panicked and said, "Young Madam, what did I do wrong?"

"Uncle Chang!" I looked up at Yun Tianchang's ugly face, and said calmly, "You didn't tell him, what did he do wrong?"

Yun Tian often looked up at me, and finally there was no disapproval in his eyes. He turned his head to look at Zhao Guanshi, and said in a deep voice: "First, after a mining accident occurs, work should be stopped immediately, otherwise the miners who start working will panic and easily cause accidents. Second, the mine collapsed, the reason is unknown, and it is possible that other mines will also collapse. Third, knowing that there are not enough manpower, but did not deploy more manpower for rescue, delaying the rescue time..."

"Enough!" I looked at Guanshi Zhao, "You understand what you did wrong now, don't you?"

"Young Madam..." Manager Zhao broke out in a cold sweat.Yun Tian often glanced at me, and said: "Young Madam, there has never been such a major accident in the mine before. Although Manager Zhao mishandled it somewhat, if he is locked up now, there will be fewer managers in the mine, and many things will not be corrected." Easy to handle..."

"With his kind of management, it's hard to deal with!" I interrupted Yun Tianchang and sneered, Yun Tianchang spoke for him like this, this manager Zhao seems to have some background, so he didn't deal with him, right?I looked up at the group of foremen, and saw that everyone looked terrified, only one young man looked calm, and I pointed at him: "What's your name?"

He was startled: "Song Qiu."

"What the hell?" I looked him up and down.

"Dizi No. [-] Mine Shaft." He said immediately.

"What's the situation in your mine now?" I stared at him, he met my eyes, and said calmly: "All work has been stopped under the order of Deacon Yun. There are a total of 150 people in the No. 50 mine, and they are currently divided into three mines. Groups, [-] people in each group, take turns to carry out rescue and excavation, and change groups every two hours. Thirteen miners have been rescued so far, one seriously injured and twelve slightly injured."

Well organized.I continued to ask: "If you were in charge, how would you handle this accident?"

"After the accident, stop working first, then quickly sort out the number and list of miners buried in the mine, and then divide the other miners into three groups, one group is responsible for rescue and excavation, and several groups are responsible for digging day and night; For emergency treatment, go to the bottom of the mountain and ask a few more doctors to go up the mountain for on-site treatment, and send the seriously injured down the mountain for treatment in time; a group is responsible for appeasing the relatives of the miners and reporting the rescue situation in time to prevent them from guessing randomly because they don't understand the situation, causing bad accidents. impact, and evacuate the families of those who are safe."

I laughed and looked at Yun Tianchang: "Uncle Chang, what do you think?"

Yun Tianchang seemed to understand my intention, and nodded: "Everything is arranged by the young lady."

"Very well, Song Qiu, from now on, you will be the agent of the Longxing Iron Mine." I looked at the dozen or so foremen in front of me, and raised my voice, "These people are all at your disposal. In an hour, report to me the progress of a rescue."

Song Qiu was stunned, then bowed calmly and said, "Yes, Young Madam!"

"Let's all go out." I waved my hand, glanced at Manager Zhao and the foreman who were tied up, and said, "Lock these two up for me. Uncle Chang, you stay here."

Seeing them go out, I raised my eyes and said, "Uncle Chang, what is Guanshi Zhao's background?"

There was surprise in Yun Tianchang's eyes, he looked at me for a while, and then said: "He is the brother-in-law of Mr. Yi in Tieshan County."

No wonder!I smiled lightly: "Does Uncle Chang blame me for mishandling it?"

"No, I didn't think carefully about this matter. If the consequences that the young lady said really happened, no one would be able to bear the responsibility." Yun Tianchang said seriously, with a trace of respect in his eyes, "Young lady, you handle it That's right."

"Then I'd like to ask Uncle Chang to do a few things, is that okay?" I knew he wouldn't underestimate me anymore, after I became powerful, I should be gentle.

"Young Madam, please tell me." Yun Tianchang became respectful.

"I want you to rush to Tieshan County, communicate with the government, and comfort the relatives of the miners who went to make trouble, and be friendly. In addition, prepare some cash and be responsible for compensating the families of the victims. The money must not be saved, and The sooner the better, and we should make a big noise so that everyone knows how well we compensate the miners.” I muttered, “Although the cause of the accident has not been investigated clearly, Manager Zhao and the foreman will definitely be punished. Master Ya must take care of it to avoid any trouble."

Yun Tianchang nodded: "Young Madam is very thoughtful, I will do it right away!"

After he left, I briefly wrote down today's situation and asked Yunde to take Feige to pass the letter to Yunzheng.Yun Zheng, I hope I didn't let you down, I really want to come back to you soon, are you feeling better?
