Chapter 425: The Great Wave (Part II)

At this moment, it was silent, and the next moment, suddenly a big red flag was raised half a day high, and almost at the same time it was deafening, all of them were united, and one voice -

"Murder pays for life! Punish the murderers! Wang Fa does justice for me! If the murderer is not punished, he will never return to work! Never return to work! Never go back to work—"

The wind was blowing, the flag was fluttering, 100,000 people gathered into a vast sea, the sound of the waves rolling, the scorching waves were raging, and the surging swept through the defensive wall surrounded by 10,000 soldiers, and pounced on the frightened and conscientious management camp.

Pea couldn't help but feel excited, and like the other women who were standing shoulder to shoulder and silently supporting, she clenched her fists and glared at Guan Ying.

There are still ten days before the autumn ceremony, and seeing that the last phase of the arena is about to be completed, it is not a problem to deliver the work on time. At this juncture, there was another conflict between the servants and the overseers.

At the beginning of the promulgation of the new service law, the supervisors did not intend to pay attention to it, but still acted according to the old rules, used the old methods, beat and scolded at every turn, brazenly exchanged good rice for moldy rice, arbitrarily deducted two meals from the workers, and did not improve the accommodation conditions at all.

But soon, the overseers relented, because of the appearance of the Lan camp. Nanyue Lansheng in the Lan camp, even if she is a female servant who has no freedom, but she is valued by the emperor and unified the northern union, and the new capital is almost designed by her alone, in the labor camp known as the living prison, they dare not touch her at all. And she will fight for whatever she wants, without blinking her eyelids, new quilts, new rice grain, two full meals a day, enough hot water supply, keep the camp hygienic and clean, and add a sentence to each mention of the whole camp.

It's also strange that the overseers don't actively comply. Within a few days, the emperor issued a document urging him, and a few days later, the treasury Shaofu directly bought quilts and rice grains and sent them in, and Shangguan came to inspect them twice in three days. Therefore, the overseers squatted with their breath, beat people less, abused people less, and were ruthless in the open and in secret, and lived a period of time when the camp was never peaceful.

However, Nanyue Lansheng, along with the entire women's camp, let the emperor merge into the craftsman camp. As the deadline for the delivery of the arena is approaching day by day. She didn't have the energy to take care of the camp anymore, and the eunuch of the camp shouted again. However, he is also smart and does not mess with the 20,000 people under Nan Yuelansheng. But there is no other kind of servitude.

Food deterioration. Accommodation deteriorated. Headed by the chief eunuch. Most of the overseers are minions, and in order to make up for the oil and water in the early stage, they have intensified their efforts to make money. Moreover, on the construction site, he began to beat and scold the laborers at will, bullying the weak. And when these became commonplace, there were several incidents of serious injuries, and the lives of the servants were in danger.

But these incidents were all forcibly suppressed by the chief eunuch and the general general, Fan Qi didn't know, and Nanyue Lansheng didn't know either, so it seemed that the clouds passed lightly. However, in the past two months, the camp has been re-immersed in hell, and suddenly a wind has emerged that has made the overseers unstable. A heavier whip from the overseers provoked fierce protests from small groups; If they are not obedient in private, the next day there will be another group of workers who will come out and be lazy on the construction site, and all the overseers in the jurisdiction where the overseer is located will be unlucky, fall and eat shit, be stunned for half a day, and so on. I can't find out the name of the office, and all the servants said that they didn't see anything abnormal, and how to beat and punish is also a unified caliber.

There were many such conflicts, and they naturally spread to the craftsman camp, so Fan Qi and Nanyue Lansheng personally came to the camp several times. Because they were completely on the side of the service workers, talking about things with the new service law, the eunuch did not give a good face, and the officers of the service camp took care of themselves and sent the two away. The last time, in front of the big tent, the eunuch not only scolded, but also asked his subordinates to throw Fan Qijia out, and told Nanyue Lansheng to be nosy. He wanted to stand in front of the, warning them not to think that anyone could speak for them.

Who knew that it backfired, Fan Qi and Nanyue Lansheng didn't care, but the conflicts between the camp officials and the servants became more and more frequent, each time it became stricter than the other, and half a month ago, there were even a large number of people on the construction site of the palace, beating and scolding casually, Lao Tzu just didn't work.

Not only was the general helpless, but he also alarmed the horse master, and the officials in the camp were disciplined, and the chief eunuch was urgently addressed.

The only place where the normal start of construction is the arena in charge of Beilianzao, which is still in full swing, and the project today and yesterday must be different, seeing that the first floor has changed to two floors, and the two floors have changed to three floors.

It is said that Nanyue Lansheng divided 20,000 people into eight groups and launched a competition, ranking them according to the speed and quality of completing the tasks, and distributed rewards. And not only according to the results of the reward, set up a lot of strange names, such as conscience, hard work, progress, and even to give workers a leave of absence in order not to spread the disease. Each person takes turns to take a day off every seven days, and at the end of each month, there must be a day of full activity, playing ball, jumping poles, climbing ladders in the arena, and barbecue meat on a bonfire at night, enjoying most of the night. Everyone has a share, and women and children can participate.

Once this day comes, the 20,000 people who work under Nan Yuelan's life are gone, and the camp is no different from a cemetery.

The eunuch hated it so much, not only did he seem incompetent in governance compared to the two, but Nanyue Lansheng's expenses for rewarding activities were all from the treasury, as if there was anyone who didn't know that she was a tax professional. And he, compared with the amount of silver she got from the daily supplies of the servants, compared with the amount of silver she got from the treasury, sometimes made him feel that he was really not worthy, so he was just for a few dollars, and he hung his courage every day, and let tens of thousands of people poke his backbone and curse secretly, what is the plan?

Regarding Nanyue Lansheng's style, digging up the treasury is ruthless and brittle, he doesn't believe that she is really selfless, but he just knows how to buy people's hearts. She can extort money like that, because she has no fear, and she is not an official and does not want to be promoted, she is a woman after all, and this method cannot be used forever, but relying on the emperor to care about the Xindu project, it is a short-lived transaction of only one vote, so she gritted her teeth regardless of the treasury Shaofu. He is different, he has to be an official, he has to be an official for a long time, he has to rise steadily, he doesn't have to buy the untouchables, but he has to buy the top, so he has to work steadily and accumulate into a mountain.

In any case, the eunuch urgently needs to solve the problem of slacking off work. He didn't have any big tricks in his head, so he thought of an old joke about killing chickens and making an example of monkeys.

So, a few days ago, he asked the 1,000 guards of the battalion to be strong, and the supervisors were at the construction site, and he pulled out 20 servants at random and fed them a meal of old leather sticks, and seven people died on the spot. He was smug when someone shouted to kill and pay for his life, and the stunned servants suddenly went crazy and rushed forward, even bringing people and corpses to snatch them down. The soldiers opened their swords and slashed, but in the face of tens of thousands of angry men, a thousand knives seemed very ridiculous, and after a few swings, the angry reckless men were forced to retreat.

Eventually, he and his overseers abandoned the camp and fled to the other side.

After some understanding, in order not to affect the progress of the work, he assured the servants that there would be no more such incidents, and compensated the families of the dead and wounded with a certain amount of gold and silver as condolences.

I thought that the matter would end here, but unexpectedly, the waves were stormy, and the ground only started. The servants submitted a petition to the horses, demanding that the imperial court severely punish the murderers and truly implement the new service law to ensure the treatment and life safety of the servants.

No matter how small the chief eunuchs and accomplice supervisors of the service camp are, they are also officials, and the Darong officials protect each other very well, so such a petition is to ask the court to punish the officials for the sake of the ordinary people, of course, there is no response.

The shape of shì became more and more severe, and the officials in charge of the camp were no longer easy to cross the river, and it also affected the service workers, including the arena, from a local strike in the imperial palace to a full shutdown of the entire Xindu construction site. The town general led his troops to suppress it, but he could only fight if he didn't agree, and there were heavy casualties on both sides, while the officers and soldiers suffered greater losses, and they were forced back to the opposite bank again.

At this time, in the imperial capital, the emperor did not know about the strike, and was enthusiastically entertaining the guests who came to congratulate him from all over the world. He is known to have a violent temper, and he has an excellent face, who would dare to report his death? An Hu, the horse and the general of the military town agreed to hide it for the time being, and when the matter is over, they will report a small worry.

When the strike entered the fifth day, An Hu was shocked, angry, tough, and calmed down, and the same court Zhen and the town general repeatedly discussed, softened their attitudes, and summoned Fan Qi and the person in charge of the civil construction to find a peaceful solution to the matter. Because, he knew that these people usually communicated directly with the service workers, and during the period when the service workers closed the shore and camp, Fan Qi, Nanyue Lansheng and Ouyang Que and others were still free to enter and leave the construction site without any hindrance.

However, after a night, An Hu could neither agree to Lan Shengti handing over the chief eunuch and the supervisor of the uprising and sending them to the Criminal Division for trial and punishment in accordance with the law, nor could he agree to Fan Qiti's impartial punishment of the officials who killed and injured people within the camp.

The general rushed in with a huff, and the earth-shattering roar outside was heard.

"Wang Fa does justice for me! If the murderer is not punished, he will never return to work! Never return to work! Never go back to work—"

Lan Sheng, who was about to sit down, held his cheeks to see that he was going to make an angry face, and his mouth was flipping up and down, waiting for the huge denunciation to pass, lazily mocking, "The general will be an adult, are you roaring out of your throat?" I, the person closest to the door, didn't hear a word, and I believe An Shaoxiang, who was the farthest away from the door, couldn't hear it even more. Drink a cup of tea and moisten it, no matter how much you roar, you can't roar loudly on the other side, and learn to see the stitches. ”

Seeing Nanyue Lansheng, the fire was even bigger, and he hurriedly walked in front of An Hu and Ting Zhen, pointing at Sang and scolding Huai, "If it can make such a big trouble this time, someone must be secretly instigating, otherwise those untouchables can work together so together?" I think it's the people who usually make the untouchables the most suspicious, so they can say the words of drinking tea in peace. ”

"your stinking!" Mu Lin scolded, "If you shit yourself, you have to let others help you wipe your ass!" ”

Around Lan Sheng, there is no shortage of people who can scold. (To be continued......)
