Wang followed Su Shi and a few people to leave the capital, and also ran to a few places, mainly along the railway, and the results of the visit shocked these young people and couldn't believe it.

They found that after the introduction of the machine, many processes were made easier and could be done by even small children...... Because of this, child labor in factories is increasing.

In some places, it even reaches more than one-tenth, and there are many children who are tens of years old, even seven or eight years old, boys and girls, and the children are sleepy, and before dawn, the foreman pulls them out of the shabby bed, and they are busy all day, often until late at night before they can sleep.

Every child is thin, withered, and insensitive.

According to their understanding, almost every month, news of the death of a child comes out...... In fact, the child labor broke out a few years ago, for which Wang Ningan specially formulated a decree, and later promoted the Juntian Order, trying to take care of the people, but I have to admit that there are still many places, more people and less land, too poor.

Some families have many children and can't afford to raise them, so they send a few to the factory to earn a little money.

There are also people who simply use deception, in the name of recruiting students and conducting internships, and are driven to work in factories by children...... The farther away from the capital, the more obvious this situation becomes.

Su Shi looked at it and had to admit that improving the situation of workers was definitely not a matter of one or two days.

Even if you bring in labor from overseas, it will not be possible to solve the problem, after all, it is much cheaper to use child labor than strong labor from overseas...... At first, a few people left the capital with a little joy, feeling that they could breathe freely after leaving the cage, but it didn't take long for a heart to sink to the bottom.

Su Shi came forward several times to save the toiling children, make them honey water, buy pastries, and the children gobbled up, and their cheeks bulged like hamsters.

Yan inspected their bodies a few times, their small hands and feet were all scarred, and their palms, which should have been immature, were full of thick calluses, which were even rougher than their hands!

At that moment, several people were heartbroken, they sent their children home, handed them over to their mothers, and repeatedly reasoned with them, not to let the children go to work to earn money, to give them reading, so that they could have a happy childhood...... But a few days later, Su Shi found that the child who was sent back had reappeared in the factory.

There is no way, most of the children come out to work, most of them are difficult at home, and there are many children, it is difficult to maintain, and no matter how much reason you talk to them, it is not as good as the reality of hundreds of coppers a month......

Su Shi felt that his heart was crumpled and crushed.

The court is sinister, and the rivers and lakes are even worse!

"As an official of the imperial court, I enjoy the support of the people, but I don't know what the world is like, I only know how to fight for power and profit all day long, I see that all the princes in the court have cut off their heads, and there is no wrong!"

Yan said a few times, "Brother Zizhan, don't scold, Ziyou is still in the court, and his brother-in-law, His Royal Highness King Yan, should they all be beheaded?" ”

Su Shi snorted, "Anyway, they are also corpse vegetarian meals, they should be scolded!" After Su Shi finished speaking, he remembered again, "By the way, what about the king?" Why didn't he come? Going to take care of the kids again? ”

"Nope." Yan Jidao whispered: "Just now the capital sent someone to deliver the news, let the king go back, I heard that it was the queen who sent him, let him go back to Beijing to take care of Wang Xianggong." ”

"What!"

Su Shi was taken aback, "Wang Xianggong is sick?" ”

"I guess it's worse than being sick." Yan Jidao was a little frustrated, "Maybe it's the chaos in the court during this time, otherwise how could it alarm the queen!" ”

Su Shi shook his head, even more speechless, "I hope they can make a result, hurry up and come up with a plan, otherwise, this Great Song is not much better than hell!" ”

……

Wang Bei returned to the capital, he went directly to his father's study, did not see anyone, and went to the back bedroom, as soon as he walked in, he smelled a strong smell of medicine.

"Daddy!"

He trotted to the front of the bed, and saw that his father's face was ugly, his body was weak, and he was more than ten years older than before he left Beijing, and his sideburns and hair were gray.

Wang couldn't help crying, "Dad, what's wrong, how did you become like this?" ”

Wang Anshi reluctantly opened his eyes, looked at his son, and suddenly smiled bitterly.

"Alas, there is still an obedient one, otherwise I would really die of shame for my father!"

Wang helped his father sit up, covered his waist with a pillow, and fed his father two mouthfuls of hot water, Wang Anshi finally had some energy.

"Your eldest brother is so angry with me!"

The reluctant minister didn't hide it, Wang Yan went to Yunzhou, Wang Anshi secretly called Cai Qu and kept torturing him, Cai Qu finally admitted that it was Wang Yan's idea to frame Su Shi in the first place.

Wang Anshi had speculations before, and after confirming it, he was so sad that he fell ill all of a sudden.

"Your eldest brother is obsessed with power and scheming, and he always uses these unseemly means, and he will be angry with him for his father!"

After listening to this, Wang also shook his head, "Dad, let the child say that you're welcome, the eldest brother is pampered and pampered, he doesn't know the people's sufferings at all, if you let him go down for a walk, take a look, and work for a few days, he will be clear!" It's unacceptable to toss around! ”

Wang scolded twice, changed his words, and comforted: "Dad, don't get angry, Zizhan doesn't care much about this matter, let the eldest brother go and tell him the truth, explain the misunderstanding clearly, maybe it'll be fine." ”

"I'm afraid I can't explain it clearly."

Wang Anshi sighed and told Wang Yan about going to Yunzhou to investigate the case.

"Dad, is my eldest brother involved in this?"

"Hmm!"

"So, why did you send him?"

Wang Anshi sighed heavily, "The sage stared at the lost wealth, and King Yan was angry that he was plotted, and they all held on to it, just let your eldest brother go, which is quite kind...... They should be trying to force your eldest brother to open the case, and then recover the money, if he is honest, maybe there is still a way to live, but after going for so long, the case is getting bigger and bigger, he is a Hanlin bachelor, and his knowledge is not as good as Zhang Yun, who was born in the cell, it is really embarrassing! ”

Wang Anshi was excited for a while and coughed again.

Wang Bi hurriedly patted his father on the back, and he persuaded: "Dad, if you don't do this, immediately repair a book, let the eldest brother do what his father wants, quickly settle the case, and go back to Beijing to confess." ”

Wang Anshi shook his head, "No, it's late!" ”

The king was puzzled.

"If I could guide him, my father would have said a long time ago that this case was originally just a matter of counterfeit money, and then tens of millions of yuan were made...... With your eldest brother, he can't do such a big thing. ”

"Dad, so there's another black hand?"

Wang Anshi grinned bitterly, "In the eyes of outsiders, maybe that black hand is your father!" ”

"Ahh

Wang Fang desperately opened his mouth wide and kept shaking his head.

"Impossible, impossible, my father's character, known to the whole world, how could he do such a thing?"

Wang Anshi shook his head again and again, full of desolation, "Father and son are one, what he does, can he run for his father!" Pun'er, a few days ago, the sage issued an order to increase the number of draft girls to enter Beijing, and many people in the court are saying that your father and son have no way, and they are targeting our family! ”

Wang Bi was really frightened, he had heard Zhao Shu mention it more than once in the past, and between him and Wang Qing, Qin Se was harmonious, and there was a prince, so he didn't want to increase the harem at all.

This time he took the initiative to break his oath, is it possible to abandon the Wang family?

Also, it was my sister who notified me to come back, think about it, she must have known about the draft girl at that time, how sad she should be! But I still have to think about my father, and my sister has suffered a lot of grievances!

Big brother, you're a bastard!

Wang Bian has always respected his eldest brother Wang Yan in the past, but at this time, he gritted his teeth and wanted to tear Wang Yan apart!

"There is no way to be a father, at this time, whatever I say, what I say, will be used to make a fuss, saying that it is for my father to instruct Wang Yan to do it, when the time comes, not only can I not save him, you, but also your sister, your uncle, and so many people under your father's door will be implicated, and your father is really shameless!"

The husband was agitated for a while, and coughed again.

Wang Fang patted his father on the back while thinking of a way.

"Dad, it's inconvenient for you to let the child go to Yunzhou."

"You're going?"

"Well, the child went to the eldest brother and asked him in front of everyone, do you still want this family, and is there any father-son relationship? How much more do you have to do without your father? ”

The king was grieved and indignant, and the way he said it seemed very naïve.

But Wang Anshi thought about it calmly, at this time, he might really be able to get miraculous results.

Wang Fang has always been an honest child, he went to scold Wang Yan, at least he could resolve the suspicion of the Wang family, and he also went to warn Wang Yan, don't toss anymore, even your most honest brother can't stand it.

If Wang Yan can change his mind and rein in the precipice in time, maybe it won't be a catastrophe!

Thinking of this, Wang Anshi got up supportively, went to the front of the table, picked up the brush, and wanted to write a few words for Wang Yan.

"You must hurry, he can't listen to other people's words, you must not let him toss anymore, there are thousands of mistakes in the world, the biggest mistake is to know the mistake and not change, mistake again and again, then no one can save him......"

Wang nodded beside him, "Father, don't worry, the child will definitely be brought." ”

While they were talking, someone suddenly ran in in a panic.

"Oh no, big deal!"

"Ahh

Wang Anshi was so shocked that the pen fell to the ground.

"What, what's wrong?"

"Xiangye, just now there was news from Yunzhou that the eldest young master was arrested!"

Wang Anshi's eyes were dark, and he almost fainted, he barely stood up, his breath was heavy, and asked, "Why, what did he do?" ”

The housekeeper was so frightened that he kept retreating, but he didn't dare not say anything.

"Xiangye, the news that came said that the eldest young master had poisoned Qin, but as a result, Xianggong Wen was arrested and has been imprisoned!"

"Rebel!"

Wang Anshi screamed in pain, his body fell straight down, and dark red blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, which was extremely dazzling......
