Chapter 360: Something Else
At dawn the next day, Fanning came to the official office, and it stands to reason that he can rest for a few more days, but the conflict between the Kun and the Japanese laborers is like an iron thunder that has been lit by an iron fire, ready to explode at any time, and Fanning has no heart to rest.
As soon as he arrived at the door of the official office, Yu Xiaonian greeted him out.
"I was just about to go to Zhizhou, and Zhizhou came, and there was news from the Kun people."
"Go to the government to talk, this is not the place to talk."
The two came to Fanning's official room, the official mansion had been cleaned, and there was almost no difference from before Fanning left, Fanning sat down on his official chair, and then asked, "Say it!" How's it going? ”
"Back in Zhizhou, the situation seems to be a little bad!" Yu Xiaonian said in a deep voice.
Fan Ning was stunned, "What's the matter, Wu Gan refuses to come to see me?" ”
Yu Xiaonian nodded, "Wu Gan said, you just want to persuade peace, but he will not accept reconciliation, just extend the five-day period to ten days, and those Japanese laborers must be handed over to them, otherwise it will ........"
"Or move back to the same location?"
Yu Xiaonian didn't speak, and acquiesced to Fanning's meaning.
Fan Ning sneered and said, "This Wu Gan really regards himself as a character, and threatens me together!" ”
"Zhizhou, I'm afraid things are not that simple!"
"What do you mean by that?" Fan Ning's eyes were raised, and his gaze was fierce at Yu Xiaonian.
"Let the messenger tell Zhizhou in person!"
Yu Xiaonian walked to the door and beckoned to the courtyard, "You come in and report to Zhizhou!" ”
After a while, a young official walked in briskly and bowed: "See Zhizhou for your humble position!" ”
This person's face is dark and thin, but his eyes are bright, Fan Ning knows him, Kunzhou Sishi Cai, is also a Jinshi on the list last year, and his duty is to educate the people of the Kun tribe.
Fanning knew that he had rushed back overnight and had not slept all night, so he nodded and comforted him: "Hard work Zeiss!" ”
Cai Zhu's face showed a hint of shame, "This is a matter within the lowly position, and it is also caused by the lowly position usually teaching the Kun clan not to do their best." ”
"Don't talk about that, tell me about yesterday, what's wrong with it?" 1
"The lowly one hit a nail at Wu Gan's yesterday, and was about to return, but he was stopped by Saven and took me to his tent."
Saven is the brother of the former Grand Chief of Kunzhou, Sapu, and the uncle of the current Chief Wu Gan, and also has great prestige within the Kun clan.
Cai Zhu continued: "Sawen told me that Wu Gan married a wife at the beginning of the year, and he came from Japan. ”
Fan Ning was slightly stunned, and immediately reacted, "The Kun people over there in Japan? ”
"Exactly! She is the daughter of the chief of the Kun clan in Dewa Province. ”
Fanning waved his hand, "And then?" Go on. ”
"Saven told me that since the marriage between the daughter of the chief of the Kun tribe in the country of Dewa and the Kun tribe in Kunzhou, the two families have had a close relationship, especially the woman's brother has been staying in Kunzhou since this year, and this time Wu Gan has a tough attitude and has a clear relationship with him."
Fan Ning took a few steps with his hands down, his brows became tighter and tighter, and finally turned back and asked Yu Xiaonian, "How could he be such a person?" ”
Of course, Yu Xiaonian understood what Fan Ning meant, and bowed down and said: "The Kun people select the patriarch based on bravery, and the others are not too considered, this Wu Ganli can fight bears and be brave first, so he has no doubt to become the chief, but he is indeed simple-minded, and irritable, and easy to be provoked." ”
Cai Zhu also said: "Saven also said that Wu Gan is easy to be provoked, and he doesn't think much about the consequences. ”
Fan Ning sneered and asked, "Since Saven knows that his nephew is simple-minded and short-tempered, did he try to persuade Wu Gan?" ”
Yu Xiaonian and Cai Zhi were stunned, the two glanced at each other, and Yu Xiaonian said cautiously: "What does Zhizhou mean is that this Sawen does not persuade Wu Gan, but has the intention of killing people with a knife?" ”
"Maybe I'm overthinking!"
Fan Ning said lightly: "Maybe Saven is just worried about the safety of his clan and afraid of being affected by Wu Gan's recklessness, so he expressed his attitude to Zeiss in time." ”
Cai Zhi nodded and said, "It should be both, I felt this way at the time, Saven repeatedly told me that if he became the chief, he would allow the Kun children to go to school." ”
At present, Kunzhou has made very slow progress in the assimilation of the Kun people, except that the Kun people have accepted some habits of the Song people in terms of clothing and living utensils, and even learned to drink tea, but they are extremely resistant to the education of their children, and have not built a school so far.
Fan Ning pondered for a moment and said, "I'll talk about this later, I'm more concerned now, what do the Kun people in Japan want to do?" Why do you want to stir up the contradiction between the Kun tribe and Kunzhou? ”
Speaking of Japan, it is Yu Xiaonian's home field, and he has been following the movements of Japan.
Yu Xiaonian pondered slightly: "Does it have anything to do with the battle of Mutsu Kingdom?" ”
"What is the current state of the Abe family?" Fanning asked.
"At present, Abe Yoritoki personally led 8,000 troops to fight against Minamoto Yoriyoshi's 20,000 troops in the southern part of Michinoku Province, and the war has been going on for more than a month."
Fan Ning walked back and forth a few steps, then turned back to the two of them: "If the army of the Kiyogen family of Dewa Kingdom sneaks up on the Abe family's lair from behind, do you think the Abe family will ask us for help?" ”
"If the Abe family suffers from the enemy, there is indeed such a possibility!"
Yu Xiaonian suddenly understood, "What Zhizhou means is that the Qingyuan family wants to send troops to attack the Abe family, but they are afraid that we will send troops to interfere, so they provoke the contradiction between the Kun clan and the government, making it difficult for us to be distracted?" ”
Fanning smiled faintly, "It's just my guess, I don't know if it's the case." ”
"So how do we deal with the current crisis?"
"Crisis?"
Fanning shook his head and smiled, "It's not a crisis yet, we don't have to do anything, just wait patiently!" ”
Speaking of this, Fanning said to Cai Zhu again: "Please ask Zeiss to keep an eye on the Kun people, and if there is any change, notify me immediately!" ”
"Subordinates obey!"
..........
As soon as the sky was dark, several horses galloped out of Tang County and rushed to the labor camp twenty miles away, and the person on the horse was Fan Ning, who had only arrived in Kunzhou yesterday, and he wanted to go to the labor camp to learn about the conflict.
Not long after, Fanning arrived at the labor camp, at present there are about 20,000 Japanese laborers in Kunzhou, distributed in road construction, city building, mining, logging and brick burning, the most Japanese laborers are currently engaged in mining, about 10,000 people, followed by the construction of the city, although the main body of the county seat of Han County has been built, but there are docks, warehouses, houses in the city, etc., about 6,000 people are busy in Han County, followed by burning bricks and tiles, about 3,000 people are burning bricks on a large scale near Tang County, and the bricks and tiles will gradually replace wood, Finally, there are 1,000 more people to put the finishing touches on the construction of the road.
Of course, Kunzhou will soon start building a road from Han County to the future Jin County, and once the Han County warehouse and dock are completed, the road will be built.
In Fanning's plan, 20,000 Japanese laborers were sufficient, and if there were too many laborers, not only would there be trouble in management, but also a little bit of foreign population would be large, which would not necessarily be a good thing for Kunzhou.
In a few moments, they came to the gate of the camp, which was currently inhabited by 4,000 Japanese laborers, mainly engaged in brick-burning and road construction, and where dozens of Japanese laborers who had clashed with the Kun people currently lived.
As soon as Fan Ning turned over and dismounted, a burly young official with a black face came out, it was Li Dashou, he was an official in Whale State, but Whale State had not yet been developed, so he did a temporary errand to manage Japanese labor.
"See Zhizhou for lowly duties!" Li Dashou bowed.
Fanning smiled and patted him on the arm, "How long have you been here, how come I don't know?" ”
"Not long after Zhizhou returned to the capital, I was transferred here and only worked for more than a month."
Fanning nodded, "Let's go in and talk!" ”
He walked briskly into the camp, followed by several officials.
"Daju, manage Japanese laborers here, do you understand the language?" Fanning asked with a smile.
"There was a translator, and I learned a few words myself."
"But I'm afraid you won't be here for long."
Li Dashou's eyes lit up, and he was suddenly surprised: "The imperial court has approved the establishment of a county in Whale State?" ”
Fan Ning smiled and said, "The imperial court hasn't approved it yet, but I have some ideas." ”
Of course, the imperial court has not yet approved the establishment of a county in Whale State, but Fan Ning has found a workaround, they can first build a town in Whale State, this is the power of the state government, as long as it is profitable, people will gather more and more, and the county seat will naturally come naturally.
Everyone hugged Fanning and walked into the official tent, Fanning sat down on the big chair in the middle, there were more than a dozen chairs at the bottom, Fanning beckoned everyone to sit down.
At this time, Li Dashou cautiously asked: "Is Zhizhou here for the Japanese laborers who are in conflict?" ”
Fanning nodded, "I want to know the basics, preferably the dictation of the direct participant. ”
He had read the detailed report of the conflict last night, but he felt that some key details were missing from the report, so he wanted to ask today.
"Does Zhizhou need to be lowly and find people now?"
"Yes!"
Li Dashou hurriedly went out, and soon brought in two Japanese laborers wearing blue coarse cloth uniforms, both of whom were very short, less than one meter and a half, but they were quite strong.
The two already knew Fanning's identity, and when they came in, they knelt down and kowtowed, and Li Dashou introduced on the side: "These two people were the first laborers to find the dead bear, and they were slightly injured in the conflict, and now they are fine." ”
Fanning nodded and asked, "What's your name?" ”
