Chapter 135: Please Your Majesty to redress the grievances of the grass people
Early the next morning, the sun rose in the east......
Ying Zheng's royal driver came to the shipyard to inspect, and accompanied by Tu Sui, Wang Li, Fusu, Meng Yi, Liu Ji and others, he went to the Nanhai Shipyard of the Great Qin Empire.
Tens of thousands of people are busy in huge shipyards, each with its own division of labor.
Because His Majesty is here to inspect today, the number of guards in various places has increased several times.
Especially every time Ying Zheng went, a large number of armor soldiers opened the way, guarding both sides and guarding His Majesty.
On top of the huge clearing, dozens of large ships are being assembled in an orderly manner.
Some ships have just finished laying their keels, others have already completed most of their hulls, and a few large ships have already completed the exterior assembly, lying quietly there, waiting for the interior to be simply assembled before being launched.
Originally, a group of workers who were busy assembling the ship's planks saw Yingzheng coming over, and hurriedly knelt down one after another, bowing their heads.
"Get up! No need to be polite, I just look at it. ”
Ying Zheng's voice is not loud, look at the east, look at the west.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Everyone immediately bowed their heads, then got up one after another, and they all went about their jobs.
Everywhere he passed, Ying Zheng was very friendly and kind to chat with the craftsmen and prisoners, looking like a parent.
During the month-long inspection, Ying Zheng visited almost every corner of the shipyard, inspiring every prisoner and craftsman.
When building a ship, you need to lay a slipway on high ground by the sea and wait for the completion of the ship.
Each slipway to the sea surface is specially built for large ships to go to sea, and thousands of strong people need to use fiber ropes to drag the big ship into the water little by little along the terrain.
Looking at this scene, Ying Zheng felt a little emotional.
At this moment, a one-armed middle-aged man ran over from afar.
"Escort ......"
Meng Yi's eyes were quick, his face immediately changed, he roared, and then took the lead in stopping in front of Ying Zheng.
Tu Sui, Wang Li and other generals also drew their swords at their waists, vigilant against this sudden change.
Before the one-armed man could rush over, he was knocked to the ground by a group of armor soldiers and firmly pressed to the ground.
A circle of guards holding Changge pointed their weapons at the one-armed man.
As long as His Majesty gives an order, this thief who trespasses into the forbidden area and acts recklessly will immediately be splattered with blood on the spot.
"Stand down."
Ying Zheng also looked at this scene suspiciously, assassin?
It's not quite like ......
"Whoa."
Meng Yi, Tu Sui and others immediately surrendered their orders and retreated behind Ying Zheng.
"Bring him here."
Ying Zheng calmed down and said to a group of guards.
"Whoa."
The two armor soldiers set up the one-armed man and walked directly towards Yingzheng.
"Who are you?"
Ying Zheng looked at the one-armed man and asked lukewarmly.
Tu Sui and the others held the hilt of the sword tightly to ensure that they could be escorted at any time if there was the slightest change.
"Your Majesty...... The grass man was a carpenter who had traveled thousands of miles to the South China Sea at the behest of His Majesty to serve in the Imperial shipbuilding. ”
The one-armed man, honestly detained by the armor, did not dare to make the slightest move.
"Carpenter?"
Ying Zhenghu looked at Dahan's other severed arm suspiciously and said, "A carpenter with one hand, this is the first time I've heard of it. ”
It's not that Ying Zheng looks down on people, but that carpenters not only need exquisite skills, but also strong endurance.
The man looked strong, but the one-armed man was a fatal flaw for the craftsman.
"Your Majesty, the grass people were not crippled before."
The one-armed man looked pained and said to Ying Zhengdao.
Well?
"Let him go."
Ying Zheng said in a deep voice.
The two armorers immediately let go of the one-armed man in their hands, but they still stood behind him and did not leave.
"Your Majesty...... The grass people are wronged! Please ask Your Majesty to make the decision for the grass people's grievances. ”
After the one-armed man regained his freedom, he knelt directly in front of Ying Zheng and cried.
"Tell me about it."
Ying Zheng's expression was unwavering, and his deep black eyes flashed with a dangerous light.
"Your Majesty, after a warship went to sea half a month ago, there was a problem with the connection of the ship's planks, which caused water leakage and rework."
"After the investigation, it was the grass people who were responsible for the ship's plank that had a problem, and he was sentenced to beheading by the supervisor."
The one-armed man choked up in a voice.
"The edict of the Great Qin Empire, as small as a wooden chopstick, is supported by the name of the worker."
"Since there is a problem with the board of the ship you are responsible for, you are stealing and slipping, and you cut off your hand according to the laws of Great Qin, how can you be wronged?"
Ying Zheng frowned and said coldly.
"Your Majesty, the villain has been learning skills with his father since he was a child, and it has been more than 30 years. Conscientious and conscientious, never slack. ”
"This time, His Majesty ordered the carpenters of the whole country to serve the country, and even if the grass people have ten thousand courages, they will not dare to cheat and slack off."
"Since entering the Nanhai Shipyard, the grass people have been working day and night, for fear of disappointing God."
"Your Majesty promises to be generous, you have no worries about food and clothing, fifteen dollars a day, and it's too late for the grass people to be grateful, how can you make such a foolish mistake."
"The grass people are willing to guarantee with their lives, and there is no problem with the planks they make."
The one-armed man spoke eloquently, looked determined, and knew Ying Zheng with affection, moved with reason, and pleaded.
"Are you so sure, do you think someone is framing you?"
Ying Zheng naturally heard the meaning of the carpenter's words, and said in a deep voice.
"Back to Your Majesty, although the grass people have skills, they are illiterate, so the names of the workers are engraved by the supervisors."
The one-armed man meant something.
"Oh?"
"Do you suspect that your overseer has replaced the fine planks you made?"
"Do you know the Great Qin Law, those who frame are guilty of the same crime. If you can't come up with empirical evidence, you will not just frame, but boast in front of me, and deceive the king, which is a serious crime to exterminate the race. ”
Ying Zheng's eyes were cold, and his voice was extremely cold.
"Your Majesty's grass people are the younger brother of the overseer, and his people are arrogant, his skills are poor, and he is suspected of indiscriminate use, and His Majesty will know when he asks."
The one-armed man was obviously fully prepared, otherwise he would not dare to come and collide with the royal driver, otherwise it would be a suicide.
If you don't take this opportunity to avenge your grievances, I'm afraid that you will never have a day to avenge your grievances.
After abolishing a hand, his career as a craftsman in this life ended here.
And how can you not hate?
How can you swallow this resentment?
Originally, this kind of trivial matter was not Ying Zheng's turn to worry about at all, but seeing so many craftsmen from all over the world working and watching, Ying Zheng's heart moved, and he set his eyes on Wang Li.
Wang Li immediately felt the chrysanthemum tighten, looked at His Majesty's cold and gloomy gaze, and hurriedly comprehended the divine way: "Your Majesty, the last general will immediately go and bring this overseer and his younger brother." ”
"I'm waiting!"
Ying Zheng's voice was flat, and people couldn't hear whether they were happy or worried.
Wang Wei secretly complained, how dare he let His Majesty wait?
Immediately led a group of armor soldiers and ran all the way away, resentful in his heart.
What's more, even if you make these small actions under Lao Tzu's eyes, you will be caught by Your Majesty.
Wang Li's teeth itched with hatred for the little overseer at this time, and he really wanted to pull him out immediately and give him skin and cramps.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks there is something strange about it, how can a little overseer have such great ability to deceive the superiors and subordinates?"
Meng Yi stood beside Ying Zheng and expressed his opinion.
"You're saying the carpenter is lying?"
Ying Zheng looked pensive and said softly.
If this is the case, then the minister has nothing to worry about. But on the contrary, the minister is worried that such an indiscriminate accumulation, greedy for the food and salary of the Mo court, and framing a good craftsman is not an exception? ”
Meng Yi showed a look of deep worry on his face and said bluntly.
"What Meng Qing means, is there a nest of borers that can be pulled out here?"
Ying Zheng's voice is not loud, but it reveals endless power.
Many people seem to have the illusion that the temperature is suddenly getting cold at this moment.
