Gongsun Hao approached the black men, and then raised his hand and shouted to the black man who looked like a Chinese person: "You, come here!" ”

He thought that this black man would not understand his words, but what he didn't expect was that this black man really understood, so he stopped what he was doing and came to Gongsun Hao.

"You're from Huaxia?"

The man respectfully saluted Gongsun Hao and said, "Back to this master, the criminal minister is from Huaxia. ”

"Sinner? What's your name? Gongsun Hao asked curiously.

The man replied, "The guilty minister has no name, the guilty minister is number 189." ”

Gongsun Hao understood that this was a sentenced official, he took a serious look at the man, and sure enough, he had a "crime" tattooed on his face.

"What crime have you committed?"

"Back to this lord, the criminal minister was originally a spokesman of the two dynasties, and the crime should not be impeached by the current emperor."

Officials of the two dynasties? This means that in the Ming Dynasty, he was already a speech official. Gongsun Hao couldn't help but glance at that person more, at most, he was only about forty, this person should have been a young official before.

Gongsun Hao asked again: "How long have you been convicted?" ”

"The criminal has been sentenced to ten years in prison, and he was on the border of the western frontier before."

He was sentenced to ten years in prison, and he should have been about thirty years old when he was convicted.

"Why did you impeach the emperor?"

"This, this ......"

This person was embarrassed to say that his actions aroused Gongsun Hao's curiosity, and he didn't stop asking why.

"Don't want this or that, say it happily!"

This person had no choice but to truthfully report his crime to Gongsun Hao. He was the first batch of former court officials who were enabled by Gao Junshan after the fall of the Ming Dynasty, and he was originally a good official in the capital, but he was impeached because he was dissatisfied with the emperor's behavior of not going to court.

Gongsun Hao asked: "What is the matter with you if the emperor doesn't go to court?" ”

"How can the emperor govern the country if he doesn't go to court? The emperor not only does not go to the court, but also travels all day long, the emperor is not in the capital, and the country will not be a country in the long run. ”

Gongsun Hao said: "Pedantic! Do you think that if the emperor is not in the capital, he can't give orders to the world? ”

"The emperor is not in the capital, how can he give orders?"

"I see that your book has been read in vain, we have long entered the era of telecommunications, do we still need to be in the capital to issue an order?" Gongsun Hao was very contemptuous of this person.

"What is the Age of Telecommunications?"

Only then did Gongsun Hao understand that the person in front of him was not a disciple of Chongwen, and he didn't even know about the telecommunications era, no wonder he was so pedantic and deserved to be assigned to this kind of person.

Gongsun Hao waved his hand: "Since you don't understand anything, go back to work!" ”

"Yes!"

The man turned around and joined the African slaves to work.

Gongsun Hao trembled, thinking, what else do you want to harm Lao Tzu? Compliance? He glanced behind him, but fortunately no one heard.

Engineer Zhou was being entangled by Secretary Xing at this moment, and the two didn't know what they were talking about.

"What are you talking about?" Gongsun Hao walked up to them and asked.

Secretary Xing said: "I am asking Zhou Gong how this coal is formed. ”

Gongsun Hao understood, Secretary Xing asked him in order to drag Engineer Zhou, as a disciple of Chongwen, he didn't even know how coal was formed, is this reasonable? Does this live up to the training that the mountain chief has cultivated for us?

Gongsun Hao asked Secretary Xing: "Now you know, right?" ”

"Got it."

"Let's go if you know, Zhou Gong, you lead the way, let's go to the open-pit coal mine to have a look."

……

Gongsun Hao and Secretary Xing looked around the open-pit coal mine for a while, and then returned to the mine manager's office.

"Assistant Gongsun went to the coal yard for a trip, did he gain a lot?" Mine Chief Chen was full of smiles when he saw Gongsun Hao.

Gongsun Hao said: "We have taken a serious look at your open-pit coal yard, and according to the progress of this coal production, there is no problem with 10,000 catties a month." ”

"Drink tea, drink tea!" Mine Chief Chen poured tea for Gongsun Hao and said, "Gongsun Assistant doesn't know, don't look at the speed at which we produce coal, but there are not many people who come to buy coal now." ”

Gongsun Hao nodded in agreement: "This is the truth. Since there are not many people who buy coal, why do you want to develop underground coal? ”

"Underground coal is high-quality coal, which is mainly used for steam engines and ships and steam generators. ”

"Oh, I see, I see." Gongsun Hao said in an affirmative tone, "After the underground coal is mined, your sales volume can be doubled. ”

Mine Chief Chen said without denying it: "Yes. The Electric Power Division and the Terminal Management Office are waiting for our high-quality coal. ”

Gongsun Hao said: "Mine Chief Chen, you can go and invite Tai Shiliang from the Electric Power Department and them over, I know how your dispute should be resolved." ”

Mine Chief Chen's face was full of smiles, this smile was sincere, he asked people to invite people from the electric power department, and then asked Gongsun Hao in a low voice: "May I ask what trick Lord Gongsun has come up with?" ”

Gongsun Hao said: "Let this matter go for a while, Mine Chief Chen, I have another thing to ask you." ”

Mine Chief Chen said: "If Assistant Gongsun needs my Mine Chief Chen's help, as long as I can help, I will definitely not ask you to do it." ”

Gongsun Hao asked: "The Ministry of Labor stipulates that we Chinese are not allowed to engage in heavy and dangerous manual labor, I think you will not know about it, right?" ”

"Yes, of course I do."

Gongsun Hao asked again: "Now that you know, why do Chinese people appear among those African black slaves and work with them?" ”

Mine Chief Chen looked aggrieved: "It's impossible, there will never be such a thing." ”

"Impossible? I've seen it with my own eyes. ”

Mine Chief Chen said confidently: "Witness it with your own eyes? Lord Gongsun, you take me to see if you recognize the wrong person. ”

Gongsun Hao said: "I saw a Chinese who committed a crime. ”

Mine Chief Chen suddenly realized: "You mean that No. 189, he is our prisoner, shouldn't he be let undergo labor reform?" ”

Gongsun Hao explained: "It is okay to reform through labor, but it is not possible to put him with the third class, although he is a prisoner, he is first and foremost a Chinese, and if he is Chinese, he is not allowed to engage in heavy and dangerous labor." ”

Mine Chief Chen said: "Please understand Lord Gongsun that we are currently short of labor and manpower, so we have put the prisoners on top." ”

Gongsun Hao said bitterly: "The shortage of labor is not a problem of one of your coal mines, and now our city hall is working to solve this problem, and has requisitioned three transport fleets to Africa in China, and within half a year, 500,000 African black slaves will be sent to our Americas." ”

"That's good news!"

Gongsun Hao asked, "What are you going to do with No. 189?" ”

Mine Chief Chen said: "Immediately transfer No. 189 to another job, and let him engage in light work such as guarding the door or guarding tools." ”

"What's so hilarious?" Taishi Liang has not yet arrived, and the voice has arrived.
