Zhang Wei made a short stay in Hawaii, leaving 50,000 people behind in Hawaii, and returned to Beijing on the afternoon of March 12. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

I'm going to see a few children first, especially Zhengzheng is too cute, he is Zhang Wei's first child in this world, after the system is strengthened, he has never been sick until now, his body is very healthy, he grows very fast, he can already walk around on his own, and can express his meaning in simple language, and he feels that he has developed a few months earlier than children of the same age.

When Zhang Wei arrived at the queen's villa, Xiao Yu'er was sleeping with Zhengzheng.

Seeing Zhang Wei coming, Xiao Yu'er hurriedly got off the bed, "Your Majesty is back, why didn't you notify me in advance?" ”

Zhang Wei smiled and said, "I'm not afraid that you will worry!" Then he gave Xiao Yu'er a hug.

Xiao Yu'er is 170 tall, and now she is half a head shorter than Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei kissed Xiao Yu'er gently, Xiao Yu'er's face was red, and she broke free from Zhang Wei's embrace. Zhang Wei walked to the bed and looked at the sleeping child.

Zhengzheng's chubby face was almost as tall as his nose, and his white skin was as smooth as satin; The small arms and legs are fat one by one, like peeled lotus roots.

Zhang Wei couldn't help but kiss him on the forehead.

"Don't wake the kid up, just go to sleep."

"It's all old husbands and wives, and they're still so shy!" Zhang Wei teased.

"Who is like you, it's daytime, let outsiders see it and make people laugh."

The two walked to the living room as they spoke, and Xiao Yuer poured a glass of sour plum juice and handed it to Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei took a sip, added white sugar to it, sweet and sour, sweet and sour, cold and refreshing, clicked his mouth, it felt good, and he drank it in one go.

"It's a good job! It's a lot better than before. Zhang Wei praised.

"Your Majesty likes it, do you still drink it? I stayed up a lot at noon today. Xiao Yu'er asked after taking the cup.

Zhang Wei sat on the sofa and said, "Don't drink, is there anything big in the country during the time I'm not at home?" ”

"I heard Concubine Ya say that something happened to Lelang, and it has been dealt with, and the Northern War Zone just reported the incident." Xiao Yu'er said.

It turned out that the three directors of the royal office were all transferred, and now the affairs of Zhang Wei's office are handled by Xiao Yuer and the two imperial concubines Zhao Meiling and Chen Jingya; Zhao Meiling is good at military affairs, and Chen Jingya is good at administration.

Zhang Wei stood up and said, "Then I'll go to the office first." ”

"Let's go see the other children first, I'm afraid that the children won't know Your Majesty after a long time." Xiao Yu'er said softly.

"Let's talk about it in the evening!" Zhang Wei left the queen's villa and walked in the direction of the office.

Zhang Wei had a lot of documents piled up on his desk, picked up the folder in the Northern War Zone, and began to look through it.

In fact, it is not a big deal, it is the workers' rebellion in the Lelang Maoshan Iron Mine, which was suppressed by the officers and soldiers of the guards, but this is the first time that there has been a riot within the empire, which makes Zhang Wei feel a smell of conspiracy.

North Korea's Maoshan Iron Ore Mine is located in Maoshan County, Xianjing City, Lelang Special Economic Zone, which is the first in Asia in terms of reserves, with proven industrial reserves of 3 billion tons and prospective reserves of 7 billion tons, which is high-grade high-quality iron ore with a grade of 66%, and reserves suitable for open-pit mining of about 1 billion tons; Five sorting plants have been built, producing 12 million tons of fine powder per year, which are transported by train to the Incheon Iron and Steel Plant.

The reason for this riot was the workers' protest against the increase in the price of food, which led to an increase in their cost of living.

The aftermath of the riots was the destruction of a refinery, which prevented normal production for at least four months, the burning of more than 100 workers' dormitories, the looting of food from the kitchen warehouse, the escape of 120 miners, the death of 718, and the insurrectionists' possession of dozens of rifles.

Zhang Wei held his chin with his left hand, closed his eyes slightly, frowned, and thought about this matter carefully.

The price of grain has risen, the price of iron powder has also risen, and the wages of workers have also risen. Is someone embezzling workers' wages? Or are food prices higher than expected? Or is there an external force interfering?

The whole process is full of doubts, and it will not be as simple as writing a report.

Over the years of the occupation of Lelang, the empire has recruited a large number of mercenaries from Lelang, and because of their combat effectiveness, they have been assigned to various units as baggage soldiers, and these people are profiteering class and will not participate in riots; In addition, as long as they learned Chinese and were willing to join the Chinese ethnic group, they were emigrated to different regions, allocated land and houses and other means of production and livelihood, and lived a Chinese life, and these people should not be the force behind the riots; Either the landlord class whose property was confiscated, their families were all imprisoned in the mines for labor reform, and there may be members of the landlord family who escaped the net to organize and plan this riot, but where did their weapons come from?

Through the replacement of the past few years, Lelang now has more than 12 million people, more than 4 million Chinese, and 8 million are the original locals, excluding the families of mercenaries, there are more than 6 million locals.

Zhang Wei called Li Minmin's office and asked him to come to the palace once.

Half an hour later, Li Minmin arrived at Zhang Wei's office in the palace.

"Your Majesty!"

"Sit!" Zhang Wei pointed to the chair opposite the desk and said, "Do you know anything about the Lelang miners' riot?" ”

"Your Majesty, our people are cooperating with the garrison to investigate, and the available information shows that Russia sent people to organize and plan this riot, and the people sent are the remnants of the former Korean royal family and some fugitive members of the big landlords, but the details have not yet been mastered." Li replied.

Zhang Wei frowned and said: "According to normal reasoning, the Russian Empire is now suffering from internal and external troubles, and it simply does not have the courage to go against the Empire, and it is already very good that the Empire does not make trouble for them, will they do such a thing that provokes the fire?" I think you still expand the scope of investigation, all European countries are suspicious; We must continue to investigate the whole territory of Lelang, are there any signs of riots in other places? Are there any other foreign forces that are active? Let intelligence agents in Europe keep a close eye on this matter. “

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Zhang Wei arranged: "You will communicate with Director Jiang Wen of the General Bureau of Economic Investigation in a while, are there any imperial personnel involved in this riot?" See if there are any foreign powers in the rest of the country? Are there any signs of riots elsewhere? Does he have any new clues there? “

"Yes, Your Majesty, are there any other arrangements?" Li asked civilian.

"By the way, your General Military Investigation Bureau should pay close attention to the contacts between European countries and South American countries, as well as the relations between South American countries, okay, you go and get busy!" Zhang Wei added.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Jiang Wen managed the General Bureau of Economic Investigation, which was in charge of the empire's domestic intelligence; The General Directorate of Military Investigation, run by Lee, is in charge of foreign intelligence.

After Li Minmin left, Zhang Wei stepped up the processing of the official documents on the desk, although he had greatly delegated power, there were still many things that he had to sign.

Two days later, Li Minmin came to report: "Your Majesty, it has been completely ascertained that Vladivostok's intelligence officers have secretly captured the planner and supporter of the uprising, the Russian businessman Vtoriak Ivanovich Ivanov, who is a businessman by profession, but in fact a spy bribed by the British, this riot was financed by the British, and Vtoriak organized and planned it, and the participants were members of the former Korean royal family in exile in Russia and members of the landlords who had fled, and the guns were purchased from the Russian officers and soldiers in Vladivostok. The aim is to create problems for the Empire, preferably into chaos or civil war, which will lead to the fragmentation of the Empire and the loss of its strength to confront Europe. “

"Go on!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, Fertoriac is only responsible for creating a riot in Lelang, and he doesn't know much about anything else; The telegram sent back by the intelligence officers stationed in London showed that the British had also sent spies to Vietnam, the Southwest Dominion, Aceh in Sumatra, Kalimantan Island, and the Western Xinjiang Special Region to plan a riot by local personnel. “

Zhang Wei said: "It's good that you can find out these things, but you have to continue to work hard, the Acehnese, Thais and other natives will not be at ease, you and the Economic Investigation Department must cooperate closely, this time to clean up the fleas inside and outside the empire." ”

Li civilians said: "Your Majesty is right, the Acehnese have rebelled against the Dutch colonial rule for hundreds of years, and I feel that as long as this nation exists, they will become independent, and I think it is better to completely eliminate them, which is the most unstable factor within the empire; The Thais, especially the royalty in Europe, are very numerous, and there are certainly restless among them. ”

Zhang Wei said: "The Thai people are easy to do, as long as they are dispersed, and the empire is stepping up immigration, when the Chinese make up the majority of the local population, they lose their mass base; The Acehnese people are not easy to do, their resistance is too strong, so the empire has always gathered them together, put them under residential surveillance, let them cast rat traps, and if they really dare to riot this time, they will wipe out this people from the earth, kill the old and young, sell the women, and go to the mines for the men. ”

Li Minmin said: "In fact, the Lelang natives also have a similar mentality to the Aceh people, their country has existed for a long time, and they will definitely not be willing to be destroyed after being destroyed, and there will be no external force in the future, and their resistance will not be less, I suggest that they should also use this method to deal with it." ”

"Lelang doesn't need to worry here, more than 10 million locals have been divided in recent years, some have been secretly executed, some have been sent to the Southwest Dominion, some have been relocated to various parts of the empire, some have joined the mercenaries, and some have been used as free labor, it seems that the empire is still too merciful." Zhang Wei said.

Subsequently, Zhang Wei sent a telegram to Xiao Xuguang, saying that all the miners who participated in the riot were shot, and all the miners of the Maoshan Iron Mine and their families were gradually transferred to the Peninsula Special Zone, and let them dig coal and iron ore for free until they died of old age; Within 3 years, all the locals who could not be sinicized were secretly executed, except for those who could be used as free labor.
