Nanming Engineer

Chapter 82
The sound was like a drum, which made Liu Mingliang tremble coldly. This roar of anger was too shocking, and he kept all his words in his stomach. He was eating and drinking, but he could only look at the angry-eyed man in horror. Wang Huan couldn't say a word.

"I declare that the comfort envoy is concerned about the safety of the people, and would rather let the people of Shizhu save money on food and clothing, but also save on export food, and provide you with two meals a day. How dare you avenge your kindness? Not only are you not grateful, but you even gather people to make trouble. Your surname is Liu Xiangsheng, Tangtang read the seeds, not only did not teach the people with the teachings of the sages, but took the lead in instigating and disturbing the people with words, what crime should he be?" Wang Huan opened his eyes wide with anger, pointed at Liu Mingliang with one hand, and babbled non-stop, and put a big hat on him.

"Big, big, sir..." Liu Mingliang couldn't argue, and he was about to refute with his mouth. How could Wang Huan give him a chance to speak? Another string of words was thrown at him like a machine gun.

"I have little food in Shizhu, and the court is in troubled times. There is no food allocated. You eat and drink, all of which are saved by Shizhu's propaganda and comfort envoy through the teeth. You call two taels of cotton to spin, where is it?" The government has such great kindness?"

"After you have eaten all the food, what will you eat? Do you want to imitate the thieves, gather people as bandits, and steal the food rations of the local people in Shizhu? Shizhu dare not say anything else. He has never blinked an eye at suppressing bandits. How dare you? Ear?"

The crowd of onlookers looked at the group of black leather-armored warriors standing behind Wang Huan in fear, and the circle dispersed a little.

"My King Huan has been entrusted by the Xuan Comfort Envoy to properly arrange for you. However, tens of thousands of people need to eat and drink, and there is no food relief from the court. Even if I have great ability, I cannot conjure food out of thin air! Therefore, I can only spread it widely. To make money, to buy food from outside, to tide over difficulties for everyone, this is mining and mining silver, which is the fastest way to make money."

"Mining sounds like hard work, but it's definitely more affordable than digging in the soil. The notice I posted clearly stated that all miners who go down the mine and dig out five catties of ore will be rewarded with one penny of silver and three cents. It can be cashed out within a few days, how much money can you earn after working hard in the fields for a year? Think about it carefully, this is definitely a quick way to make money, and it is a good thing for the Secretary of Public Security and everyone."

As soon as this remark came out, the refugees in a circle immediately whispered to each other, and there was a buzzing sound. The faces of the people who were afraid to show their atmosphere were happy, and they discussed the good or bad of this matter.

Liu Mingliang, who had been wanting to speak from beginning to end, had no color on his face, because he had read the posted notice. What Wang Huan said was indeed very clear, but he felt that as a scholar, how could he be willing to do that? It's a despicable job to go down a mine, but as the notice says, if you don't work in the mine and you only have one meal to eat that day, won't you starve yourself into a fool?Therefore, he took advantage of the fact that the refugees were generally illiterate, deliberately distorted the contents of the notice, and incited a large number of refugees to come to the door to cause trouble, in an attempt to use the public opinion to forcefully put pressure on the Xuanwei Envoy to withdraw the notice of working in exchange for food.

Liu Mingliang thought he had outstanding eloquence, and as long as he persuaded the native officials of the Xuanwei Commissioner with the principles of a saint in front of everyone, he would be able to achieve his goal.How can the eloquence of native officials compare with him.

Unexpectedly, before he could open his mouth, he bumped into an iron plate. Wang Huan is a contestant who has participated in the debate competition. He is famous for his quick talk. Jump feet.

"My lord, as long as you go down to the mine to mine, can you not only get food, but also get money?" The group of refugees murmured for a while, and a gray-haired old man saw Wang Huan's pause and hurriedly asked. .

"Of course, the Minister of Prosecution and Comfort will not tell empty words or lies. Look at the food that has been given to you in the past few months. It is all white rice and barley, without any chaff or sand. How can a lying government do such a thing? ?” Wang Huan swears.

"As long as the silver mines are produced, the Xuanwei envoy will be able to buy more food with the silver. Let alone more than 2 of you, we can accommodate even more people. I know that you left your hometown , What is the purpose of running away from home? Isn’t it a way to survive! Now there are wars everywhere outside Shizhu, and there is no way to sacrifice thieves. Apart from Shizhu, which other counties are as peaceful and safe as this? You don’t want to work to earn money, I naturally You are not welcome, eating and drinking for nothing is a lazy parasite, I will not force you, if you are willing to stay, you can sign up now, if you are not willing, please leave by yourself tomorrow morning, I will not support idlers!" Wang Huan Be persuasive.

After a pause, Wang Huan finally stopped talking. He had to give these refugees some time to think.

"Fellow folks!" Liu Mingliang finally waited for Wang Huan to take a breather, raised his hands quickly, and shouted loudly: "It's only natural for the court to help the hungry people! How can the hungry people be required to work? This is against the law of heaven! I'll wait a thousand miles!" Isn't it because we are all citizens of the Ming Dynasty that we have come all the way to the stone pillar? This move of the imperial court will chill the hearts of the people all over the world!"

When he encouraged like this, people who looked like Xiangsheng and Gongsheng immediately responded, and some people in the crowd dressed in brocade clothes also echoed. For a while, Wang Huan's already calm scene became a little commotion again.

Wang Huan narrowed his eyes and looked at the group of people headed by Liu Mingliang, thinking a little. However, Liu Mingliang and others thought that this young local official was speechless by him. As a scholar, even the Ming government did not dare to deal with it at will. , these local officials in the mountainous areas could not do anything. At this moment, they became proud, licked their lips, raised their arms and shouted: "We swear not to exchange work for food, and would rather starve to death in front of this hall, let's see what the court can do to me!!"

"Presumptuous!" Another yell broke out, piercing the sky, and Liu Mingliang and the others were shocked again, feeling that the yell was so familiar.

Wang Huan stepped forward, grabbed the hem of Liu Mingliang's clothes who was looking excited, and shouted: "If you don't want to live, you can leave. Why do you want everyone to follow you and make a fool of yourself? The official document of Xuan comfort has been issued, and anyone who refuses will be regarded as treason." , as a scholar, don’t you even understand this?”

He threw Liu Mingliang backhandedly, threw him to the ground, and shouted, "Take it! Throw him into the dungeon!"

Wang Huan used all his strength to catch and throw Liu Mingliang, who had no strength to restrain the chicken. Chen Ergou and Xu Goudan jumped on them like wolves and tigers, pressed firmly, and took out Rope, on the tied.

The people who had just shouted along with Liu Mingliang were stunned, and then became furious. They were scholars of the Ming Dynasty, the pillars of the country who were treasured by every dynasty and every generation. How dare this barbarian treat him so roughly? It’s crazy!

Immediately, more than [-] people ran out from the crowd crying and shouting, trying to rob people, shouting: "Master Confucius, open your eyes, there are evil officials who dare to torture disciples and others like this!" Shouted: "You little official, aren't you afraid of being punished by the court? How can you allow such a waste of money for a scholar!"

Wang Huan watched them rush out from the crowd coldly, a cruel smile appeared on his indifferent face: "They all came out? Just right."

He nodded slightly to Ma Xintian who also had a cold face behind him. Ma Xintian understood, clasped his fists to accept the order, and rushed forward with a group of soldiers.

The group of people who rushed out were obviously stunned for a moment. They never expected that the big-headed soldier on the opposite side would really dare to take action. They originally thought that there were many people on their side and the law would not punish them. However, they did not expect that the young native official would really dare to take action. This is not the case. It's fun.

Before they could yell again, Ma Xintian slashed at the face of a scholar who was running in front with a long knife with a sheath in his hand, and spun him around, leaving a striking line on Bai Shengsheng's face. The scholar was stunned for a moment, and then let out a loud howl.

Soldiers in leather armor gathered around them and formed a circle to isolate the group from the people behind them. Then they beat them with long sticks and short sticks, making the people in the circle cry for father and mother. The stern and upright look they had just now completely disappeared, and they all knelt on the ground begging for mercy. They only regretted that they had lost a mouth, and they kept crying and yelling, "Don't fight, don't fight."

Wang Huan beckoned, and Ma Xintian led the soldiers to tie up all the people in the group, and drove them into the yard.

The other refugees watched this scene dumbfounded, and none of them dared to speak out. Who was the one who was beaten just now?They are all talented masters, the master who usually walks with his nostrils turned upside down, and the young official beat him up without hesitation, who would dare to sing the opposite tune again?
