Chapter 250: Exchange Merit
Shen Ruyi knew that it would be very difficult to get the government to agree to this. It sounded simple, but it was actually quite difficult to implement.
Let’s get some air out first and leave an impression in the officials’ minds.
Wait until potatoes, corn and other things are contributed later, and then we can exchange them for our merits.
In this way, the government will be more confident and the probability of him agreeing will be greater.
"Kao, I haven't had dinner yet, is there anything to eat?"
And my sister Yiren, it’s all my fault. I was so excited that I forgot about it.
The young prince laughed and replied, "Hahaha~, yes, we have prepared it. Liuyun, bring in a meal! Hahaha..."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Shen Ruyi didn't care about anything else and just lowered her head to eat.
People are iron, and rice is steel, so you panic if you don't eat a meal.
Not long after, a large number of people came to the yard and flew directly into the yard.
Dressed in black and walking lightly, he is obviously a martial arts expert.
He is well-trained, has an upright posture, and is full of murderous aura, like a sword drawn from its sheath.
These people gathered quietly and neatly in the courtyard, ready to be on duty at any time.
I feel like they must have been responsible for quite a few deaths.
The momentum is so strong!
The man Shen Ruyi didn't know - Dou Ping, walked out of the room and walked towards the team.
Shen Ruyi was extremely envious, her eyes were almost full of stars, she also needed such a talent.
If we had them, we would feel so safe.
I don't know what level of martial arts these people are at. Can I train them?
Just then, there was a noise coming from the small house next door.
"Sister Yiren?" Shen Ruyi flew towards the small house next to her.
But it turned out not to be the case, a guard came out.
What a joy!
I wonder how Sister Yiren is doing now?
He is a subordinate of Lianzhou, who came here specifically to report the news to the young prince about the silver mine.
The mine has been taken and the finishing work is now being done.
Their speed is pretty good.
There are currently 433 miners alive, and countless people have died. A large pit next to the mine is full of bones.
According to the information obtained during the interrogation, this silver mine has been mined for three and a half years.
They mined silver day and night, and the mined silver was transported away once every two months.
The total amount of silver taken away has not yet been determined.
The foundations of these surviving miners have already been destroyed, and they are unlikely to survive for long.
It is said that they were all captured from remote small villages in the surrounding areas.
They are currently under unified custody and are awaiting further instructions.
"Those who are covered with silkworms are not silkworm farmers."
Those who risk their lives to dig for silver, but don’t own a single penny, what a fucking idiot!
This is still the emperor's territory, and these high-ranking officials can be so unscrupulous!
Shen Ruyi didn't even dare to imagine how difficult life would be for the lower-class people in more remote areas.
After they finished talking, Shen Ruyi asked, "What will happen to these miners?"
The young prince replied, "Repatriate to your hometown."
“Will there be compensation?”
The young prince paused and said, "It's hard to say, it depends on the actual situation.
This time it’s a silver mine, so it’s easier to deal with, there should be some compensation.”
Shen Ruyi is most afraid of this kind of words and is most annoyed to hear them.
He seemed to have answered, but also seemed to have answered nothing.
The blank space in the middle is particularly fatal, and the result may be drastically different.
What happens in the end depends entirely on the conscience of the person handling the matter, but conscience is something not everyone has.
"Mr. Shen, the person you're waiting for is back!" someone in the dark room shouted loudly.
Shen Ruyi went over after hearing the voice, and it was indeed Sister Yiren, who came back, "Sister Yiren?"
"Ruyi, is there anything to eat? I'm starving!"
"Yes, yes, yes. Come on, bring two food boxes over."
Shen Ruyi shouted to the people outside the house, and poured a cup of tea and put it in Yiren's hand.
Yiren complained that the drinking was too slow and she was not satisfied, so she took the teapot and poured it for herself while drinking.
After drinking the water, the food box was brought over, and Shen Ruyi helped to set the table, "Eat first!"
Yiren started eating without saying a word.
The young prince did not urge him and waited by the side.
After Yiren finished eating and recovered, she said that he was indeed training private soldiers, about 2 people.
During the day, she checked the exits and imports on the periphery and looked at the surrounding terrain. The private army was in the endless Damang Mountain.
I sneaked into the military camp at night and confirmed the number of people again. The equipment was good, all new. The training effect was also good and it looked very impressive.
After saying that, he directly drew a detailed map of the private army's deployment, which was very clear.
The number of people guarding the entrances and exits for transporting supplies, as well as other exits.
The shift changing times and intervals, the generals' residences, the location of the kitchen, the location of the food supplies, the armory, etc. are all clearly marked.
"Awesome!" Shen Ruyi exclaimed.
After saying this, Yiren went on to talk about the situation on the other road.
The road finally split into two branches, one leading to a small courtyard at the entrance of the inner city, which was empty and no one lived there.
Another road leads directly to a main road outside the city, less than a mile away from the main road. It is obviously used to leave the city or escape.
After Yiren finished speaking, Dou Ping went out directly with the layout map.
Shen Ru thought there was nothing for him to do anymore, so he said goodbye and said he had done everything he could.
The idea has been put forward, and the rest is within the scope of other people's responsibilities.
The rest is up to God.
It’s not good to mix too much!
You have to give others the opportunity to perform their duties. If you have done all the work that others are supposed to do, what else will they do?
And the young prince and the emperor will definitely help me with the aftermath.
After all, you are so useful, and it is more cost-effective and better to live well than to be useless or dead!
After realizing this, Shen Ruyi completely gave up on it.
As for the young prince, we must verify it again, and then send people to set up control according to the actual situation.
Shen Ruyi also left a silver note of 2000 taels for the young prince.
If the imperial court does not compensate the miners or the compensation is very little, this silver will be used.
Shen Ruyi knew that under the circumstances, she shouldn't get involved in this matter.
On the one hand, this is the responsibility of the court and should not be transferred to oneself as an independent individual.
On the other hand, he was afraid that he would get involved too much and form a habit. Wherever he was, if the court did nothing, he would have to clean up the mess.
This is the same as the situation in modern marriages regarding how much housework each spouse does.
The one who works hard is not a man or a woman, but the person who can't stand it in the first place.
Whoever can't stand it, take care of it!
But I couldn't get over it. The miserable lives of the miners kept flashing through my mind, and I really couldn't turn a blind eye to it.
If the money is too little, it will not be enough for them to take care of their bodies.
But if you give them too much, they may not get it.
Even if it falls into their hands, there is no guarantee that it can be kept, and it may even be a death warrant.
I don’t know whether it is possible to find detailed lists and addresses of those who died.
I hope this little bit of money can help them and make life a little better for their parents, wives and daughters.
