The first batch of 3,000 Japanese laborers had been working in Kunzhou for more than a month, and their first task was to cut down logs, open a passage 200 steps wide and 120 miles long in the boundless lush forest, and then tamp the ground so that there was no grass growing on the ground, and then form an official road connecting Tang County and Han County.

Of course, the construction plan was to open a narrow passage ten steps wide, and then gradually widen it, and it was planned to build the road in two years.

The narrow passage, which is about 10 steps wide, has been opened, which is relatively easy to do, and now the Japanese laborers are widening the passage.

More than a month after construction, the first Japanese laborer to die in the construction of the road appeared, not from exhaustion, but from the fall of a huge pine tree.

Injuries are inevitable, but in any case, if someone dies during construction, it is still necessary for the chief officer to rush to the scene.

The scene of the casualty was located 40 miles northwest of Tang County, and Fanning led more than a dozen officers and soldiers all the way to the scene of the casualty, arriving at the scene of the casualty at noon.

The logging did not stop, it continued, and instead of cutting down the trees with knives and axes, the laborers first pulled the large trees to the roots with ropes so that they did not leave stumps as obstacles to building roads, and then sawed off the stumps, which were used to make fires in the camp for cooking, perhaps for heating, and thick trunks for good houses.

If you encounter amber wood, you need to store it separately.

Fanning and the others stopped, not far in front of them, more than a hundred laborers were pulling a huge pine tree, they tied it to the trunk with five thick ropes, and twenty people were pulling together with a rope at the shouting of a battalion leader, the soil on the roots of the tree was gradually rising, and the big tree began to tilt, at this time, the battalion head shouted.

Everyone threw down the rope and ran to both sides, and the big pine tree that was more than ten feet high fell down violently, the roots of the tree were completely uprooted, and a large earth pit appeared on the ground, and several snakes swam away in panic and were stoned to death by laborers.

More than a dozen workers immediately stepped forward to break down the trees, four workers used large saws to see back and forth at the roots, and others used small saws to cut off the branches and collect them.

The pit was also quickly filled in by two laborers, and the target of the 100 laborers turned to another big tree, and they worked together with great efficiency.

Fan Ning came to a big tent, and the official in charge of logging in this area was Su Liang, and he hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

Fanning turned over and dismounted, and asked: How many laborers died?

One was killed, one was injured, the injured person had his left arm broken, and the dead person was smashed on the head, his brain burst, and he died on the spot.

Is the body still there? Fanning asked again.

The body had been cremated by several of his fellow villagers, and the bones were packed in clay pots to be taken back to his family.

What about other labor sentiments?

That's what Fanning cares about, and it's normal for accidents to happen, but he doesn't want to cause any trouble and affect the progress of the logging project.

The subordinates didn't see any abnormal emotions, the laborers were still working, it should be a more common accident, logging is still more dangerous, especially when the tree falls, it is necessary to accurately judge the direction of the tree falling, this deceased is a mistake in judgment, but ran to the side where the tree fell, just hit by the tree.

How many lumberjacks are there here?

About 700 people!

Fanning then said: Gather them together, I have something to say!

Fanning is well aware of the truth that details determine success or failure, and many turmoil stems from some inconspicuous small things, especially when dealing with labor casualties, if it is not handled well at the beginning, when there are more and more labor casualties in the future, it is likely to lead to a huge labor wave and force Kunzhou to stop using Japanese labor, which will seriously affect Kunzhou's exhibition.

Therefore, if the first labor casualty accident is handled well and it becomes a system, many unnecessary troubles and disputes can be avoided.

In a short time, more than 700 Japanese laborers were gathered, and Fanning stood on a tree stump, and on the large simple table in front of him was a large clay pot with the ashes of the stoned laborers.

Fanning said loudly: There was an accident this morning, a worker named Xiao Tianxi was hit by a fallen tree and unfortunately died, for which we deeply mourn!

The official who acted as an interpreter for Fan Ning was Cheng Qing, the son of Cheng Dexing, the leader of the Song merchants in Nagasaki Port, and it was he who had arrived in time to inform the Song army of the military situation a few months earlier, so that the Song army set a trap and annihilated Hirano Yoshi's fleet.

Cheng Qing did not return to Nagasaki, but was invited by Fanning to stay in Kunzhou and serve as the Jingluo Prefecture, responsible for translation affairs, which can be regarded as entering politics from the business route.

Fanning then said: We try our best to ensure that the workers have food and lodging, so that all the workers have enough physical strength to engage in logging, and we also hope that everyone can go home safely after three years, but the danger in the logging process is unpredictable, everyone will encounter the danger of falling trees or poisonous insect attacks, since the danger is unavoidable, then we need to do two things, one is to do a good job of protection, try to avoid dangerous life, and the second is to do a good job of bereavement benefits, so that the family of each unfortunate person can be compensated.

All the laborers did not speak, they listened attentively to the answers given by the interpreters, and of course they were concerned about the compensation for the casualties, which involved everyone's vital interests.

If those who die because of their work, each person will be compensated with 100 yuan, that is, 100 taels of silver, and those who are injured due to labor will be compensated from 20 to 50 taels of silver depending on the situation, but the premise is that they are injured because of their work, but if they are injured due to personal reasons, such as their own grudges and fight to death, the government will not compensate for one or two taels of silver.

We will hand over all the compensation money to his family, not to the Japanese government.

Although the announcement of the compensation package was brief, it played an important role in calming people's minds and reassuring them, so that the mood of the workers was quickly stabilized and they were no longer worried, and the workers returned to the heavy and dangerous work of logging.

Dealing with the accident of work, Fanning and the group quickly made a swift north along the narrow path, and when it was dark, the group reached the northwest coast.

At the top of the Kunnan Peninsula, there are two bays in the south and one in the north, the bay in the south is Kunnan Bay, the first county seat Tang County is located on the north shore of Kunnan Bay, the bay in the northwest has not yet been officially named, but everyone calls it Kunbei Bay, and the future Zhihan County of Kunzhou Prefecture is ready to be set up here.

The site where Sapporo was later founded, and it would also be the third largest pasture in Kunzhou, and unlike other hilly pastures to the north and east, this pasture was a plain pasture, a very vast flat grassland, covering an area of 4,000 square kilometers, where the winter was cold and covered with heavy snow, but the horses could be transferred to the warm eastern pastures for the winter.

Fanning called this grassland Youyun Grassland, which is actually the best agricultural area, but Kunzhou will not have a large population in the future, and will not need much agriculture, and the agricultural area of Kunnan Bay will be enough to feed all the soldiers and civilians in Kunzhou, and in the future, Han County will mainly focus on fishing and smelting, producing a large number of dried fish and gold and silver to be shipped back to the Great Song Dynasty.

Therefore, Youyun Grassland will become the third largest horse breeding base in Kunzhou, and the Cao family is currently interested in taking over this pasture to raise war horses for the Great Song Dynasty.

Under the reflection of the setting sun, everyone galloped on the grassland, Fanning's war horse is called Blizzard, which is the horse king that Jian Meizi gave to Fanning, with slender limbs and strong muscles, and galloping fast like a shadow, in a moment, everyone was far behind.

In front of the dark blue whale sea, the sunset has set on the sea, under the afterglow, there seems to be a piece of fire burning on the sea, and then go forward is the cliff dozens of zhang high, the waves beat the reef, and then go north for more than ten miles, the terrain gradually decreases, there will be a natural harbor, here is the location of the founding of Han County, there is currently an engineering camp, there are three hundred soldiers and dozens of craftsmen stationed here.

At this time, everyone chased after them, and Cao Shi said with a smile: We are afraid that the governor will not be able to control this horse king, and everyone is worried all the way!

Fanning scolded with a smile: You bastard boy dare to say that I will fall off the cliff?

We're just worried!

Bah! Even if I can't control the war horse, will it jump off the cliff by itself, and the king of horses doesn't even have the ability to distinguish at all?

Everyone laughed, and Fanning said, "Go to camp!"

He turned his horse's head and led the crowd to the camp more than a dozen miles away.
