Chapter 232: Dilemma
After leaving the martial arts meeting, Qin Nan walked onto the bustling streets and shuttled through the crowd like an ordinary person.
After walking through a few bustling streets, you turn into a nondescript alley. Ten minutes later, Qin Nan stopped at the door of an inconspicuous house.
If it weren't for the fact that there was a guard standing at the door, he really thought that he would make a mistake, this is exactly where Qin Nan is coming, the Gyeonggi place of Tianyuan City.
It seems that the Gyeonggi Office is located in each city, which is very remote and often chooses sparsely populated places, which is quite similar to the characteristics of the Gyeonggi Office.
Qin Nan showed the first-level talisman to the guards guarding the door, and the other party's expression changed, and he immediately welcomed Qin Nan in.
In the Gyeonggi office of Tianyuan City, the person who received Qin Nan was a middle-aged man dressed as a civil official. After informing each other of their names, Qin Nan learned that this person's surname was Wen, and temporarily called him Lord Wen.
The other party knew that Qin Nan was a loyal and righteous man from above, so he naturally respected him very much, and he was also very cautious in receiving him.
Qin Nan explained to him his intention to mobilize some people from here.
Lord Nawen didn't dare to slack off, but there were not many people here, and they weren't elite.
Qin Nan sat on the chair that Lord Wen usually sat on, while Lord Wen was waiting on the side.
Qin Nannai is the righteous son of the Nine Princes, a loyal baron, and a five-grade official of the imperial court, which is much higher than the official position of Lord Wen.
Qin Nan said: "Lord Wen, this official has come down to raid the black mine on purpose, and it is an urgent matter, so you must help me prepare enough manpower." The Dragon Guardian Legion has just wiped out a group of bandits in the Red Moon Desert, and now they are on their way, I'm afraid it's too late, so I can only ask you for help. ”
Qin Nan's index finger tapped on the arm of the chair, with a solemn expression.
The Gyeonggi Office of Tianyuan City is an institution directly under the Gyeonggi Office of the Imperial City, and it has nothing to do with any local department, so Qin Nan is not afraid that this Lord Wen will be unreliable.
"It can't be talked about helping, as long as the sixteenth master is in need, even if he is instructed, it is a matter within the official duties, and it should be done. ”
Hearing that the Weilong Legion was already on the way to arrive, Lord Wen saw sweat on his forehead, and said: "Sixteenth Master Qiqi, there are very few people in Tianyuan City here, I don't know how much the Sixteenth Master wants?"
"As many as you want, all of them will be mobilized, by the way, the magistrates don't need to be found, these guys are complicit, if they are involved, I'm afraid we won't be able to catch anything." Qin Nan said.
Hearing Qin Nan's tone, as much as he wanted, Lord Wen gasped, he understood what Qin Nan meant.
"In the Gyeonggi area of Tianyuan City, there are only a few dozen people, those families who open black mines, most of the martial artists and guards, we actually don't immediately repair a letter to our subordinate officials, such as the surrounding cities to transfer people, I don't know if it's okay?"
Lord Wen said that there were only a few dozen people in the Gyeonggi office of Tianyuan City, and he also knew something about the shape of the black mining family, but these things were not within the jurisdiction of the Gyeonggi office.
It doesn't matter if there are few people, the opinion of Lord Moon is to go to the surrounding cities to mobilize, anyway, they are all people from Gyeonggi.
"How long will it take?" Qin Nan asked.
"One day and one night is enough. Master Wen explained.
Qin Nan stood up and said, "Okay, go and do it immediately, after the people are mobilized, they will be stationed outside the city and stand by, waiting for the official's orders at any time." ”
"The lower official understands that he will live up to the trust of the sixteenth master. ”
Master Wen arched his hands and watched Qin Nan leave.
Walking out of Gyeonggi in Tianyuan City, Qin Nan began to calculate the distance of the Guardian Dragon Legion.
From the sandbar of Tanhalla City to the southwestern border Tianyuan City, even if you fly in a straight line, you have to pass over more than a dozen cities. There are five or six thousand miles away from the dry road, and even if the foot strength is as strong as sweat and blood, it will take at least ten days to run a long distance.
And the shape of the Song Jianyi family is urgent, and the Weilong Legion can't be counted on.
Qin Nan was in his heart, and walked towards the martial arts club without hurrying.
Just returned to the martial arts meeting, Song Jianyi was already sitting in the hall waiting, looking anxious, as if something had happened.
Xiangyu also stood aside, not saying a word.
"Brother, what's wrong?" Qin Nan sped up and entered the hall.
Song Jianyi stood up, his expression was solemn, and said, "Anan, let me explain to you the situation of the Song family and the distribution of minerals first, and you will understand." ”
Qin Nan nodded, stood aside and listened quietly.
Song Jianyi said: "The Song family is divided into four veins from my grandfather to the bottom. The uncle inherits the position of the head of the family, is the first line, their family occupies Dongshan, Dongshan is the richest mineral deposits, after all, the uncle is the head of the family, this is right. ”
Qin Nan nodded.
Song Jian paused for a moment, and then said: "The second uncle's family occupies Nanshan, and the second lineage, Nanshan mineral deposits are second to Dongshan, which is understandable. The Sanbo family occupies Beishan, which is the third lineage, and the mineral deposits in Beishan are second to Nanshan. Our family is the fourth, occupying Xishan, the mineral deposits are the least, and the profit is only enough for the family's expenses. ”
Song Jian's family, in addition to his mother and younger brother, also has to support some subordinates, and the expenses are very large. However, the minerals in Xishan are not rich enough, the mining is difficult, and the workers complain bitterly, so the annual profit is just enough to start, and there is not much thought about at all.
Song Jian glanced at Qin Nan and said, "Since my father passed away, the eldest uncle of the head of the family, the second uncle of Nanshan, and the third uncle of Beishan, they all want to occupy our family's Xishan and bring down our family. I told you about it, you should know it. ”
Qin Nan nodded.
A trace of gloom flashed on Song Jianyi's face, and he said coldly: "They didn't rob as they imagined, but used conspiracy to raise the wages of the workers, and dug up all the workers in our family, making it impossible for our mine in Xishan to start working." Moreover, there is another difficulty, that is, the miners refuse to buy our family's mine again, and the way to survive is completely cut off. ”
"Falling into the well. ”
Qin Nan muttered in his mouth, and immediately frowned.
Song Jianyi's uncle, second uncle, and third uncle did not rob Song Jian's family's mine, nor did they occupy it by force, but raised the price to dig people, and without workers, the mine would naturally be half dead.
People go to high places and water flows to low places, and workers also have to support their families. Even if a certain part of them are miners who have been employed by Song Jian's family for a long time, driven by profits, there are very few left.
If there are fewer people, the mine will naturally not be able to work again, and if the mine is not opened, where will the money be paid to the workers?
This matter is difficult to do, the difficulty is that they are not robbing openly, but digging people at too high wages for workers, so that no one has anything to say.
In the market, this is messing around with the economy, disrupting the market price, and it is also dealing with one's own family, and the conscience is greatly broken.
