Chapter 51: The Battle of the Coal Mine (3)
In order to allow Zonghu to successfully complete the road of coal reform, Chongzhen specially appointed Zong Hu as the first director of the Shanxi Coal Department, with full authority to deal with Shanxi coal mining, processing, transportation and trade. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In Chongzhen's appointment, the Shanxi Coal Division and the Shanxi Chengxuan Political Envoy Department belong to a cooperative relationship, which means that the Shanxi Coal Division has independent disposal rights. This is a critical power, otherwise the coal reform is likely to fail if it is hampered by the local government envoys.
Zong Hu's appointment reached the ears of Shanxi Chengxuan's political envoy at the first time. Shanxi Chengxuan Political Envoy Division, referred to as Shanxi Political Division, has jurisdiction over 4 prefectures and 4 Zhili Prefectures, and the political envoy is stationed in Taiyuan Prefecture.
Taiyuan Mansion, the political envoy of the Yamen. Cao Qiuxu, the political envoy, had just received an urgent report from the Beijing Division, and the emperor had just appointed a new Shanxi Coal Division, which was about to go to Shanxi, and according to the content of the letter, Cao Qiuxu felt a lot of pressure. Chongzhen's seemingly simple reform is not shocking on the surface, but it can't hide it from Cao Qiuxu and the people behind the scenes above the court.
Giving cooperation, Cao Qiuxu's actions in the future will be very passive. But if you don't cooperate, and you will face confrontation with the imperial power, I am afraid that once things get bigger, you will soon become an outcast. This dilemma made Cao Qiuxu not take half a step out of the study from the moment he received the letter.
The sky has gradually darkened, the maid in the study, has already lit the exquisite palace lamp, the study is not very big, so under the light background, the whole study is illuminated as white as snow. Yes, Cao Qiuxu frowned, this unsolvable problem always bothered him. Over the years, Cao Qiuxu himself knows how many things he has done secretly...

Saying that Zonghu is like a dream these days, the emperor's summons is like a pie falling from the sky, fragrant and sweet. But this seemingly sweet pie has a hidden murderous intention, and if you don't get it right, I'm afraid you'll be in a different place.
The turbulent undercurrent makes the weather even colder in November. Zong Hu subconsciously tightened the coat on his body, but it did not slow down the cold feeling in the slightest, as if even the air had become solidified. The speed of the carriage was not very fast, but it was very bumpy, and the treasury was tight all these years, and there were problems in many places on the official road, and it was not seriously repaired for a long time. But Zong Hu, who was sitting in the carriage, didn't feel the slightest bump, and at this moment he was sitting upright, like an old monk who had settled down.
The task assigned by the emperor was too heavy, and the weight was enough to weigh him down. Although he swore in front of the emperor, when he was alone, he couldn't help but be at a loss.
As a native of Shanxi, my ancestors have been dealing with coal for generations. Now I want to take back all the power of coal at once, and if I handle it well, I can make a smooth transition, if it is not handled properly, or someone with a heart is bewitching on the side, I am afraid that it will cause a civil uprising, and it will be difficult for me to escape the guilt of death.

And for ordinary people, they have no idea how enthusiastic the coming storm will be. Before the arrival of this natural storm, there needs to be a brewing process, and people can make judgments by the changes in the weather. And this man-induced storm is silent, but when it erupts, it will hit as a mountain and a sea.
Every day, Wang Chengyu, a coal miner, will mine, pay taxes, sell, and pay taxes on time and on point, and finally, the silver taels in his hand can only support his family. This has been doing this job for ten years, and the high-intensity physical labor and heavy life pressure in the past ten years have left him with no time to think. Because he knew that he could not stop, otherwise his wife and children and his bedridden parents would go hungry because they had no food. Therefore, Wang Chengyu works very hard, no matter how hard he tries, he will still be hungry. What kind of world is this, Wang Chengyu hates this kind of world very much, he hates those officials who only know how to exploit everywhere, all of them are full of brains, but they don't care about the life or death of their own civilians. But even if he hates, he won't show it, and no matter how much he hates, he won't blame Chongzhen, he believes that Chongzhen must have been deceived by traitors.
Ordinary people like Wang Chengyu abound in Shanxi. These ordinary people are a little lovely, they just want a bite to eat, and they firmly believe that there is hope if they are alive. As for who will give them hope, they don't know, they don't dare to think about it, and they don't have time to think about it.
