I’m The King Chapter 1330: : Han Banner World (Twenty) Aftermath

Gao Yuan walked through the filthy living area step by step, his face became more and more serious, his footsteps finally stopped in front of the huge mine pit, he turned around and stared at the gray mine area below the mountain , the smelter, the miners guarded by the army, and the old and weak women and children kneeling in the living quarters, there is only fear in their eyes.

Sitting cross-legged on a huge ore, Gao Yuan pointed to his side and said to Mutu, "Sit down too."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Mutu nodded his thanks, and sat down beside Gao Yuan with a flick of his robe.

"I used to think that under my rule, a situation like this would never happen. In the past few years, I have enacted countless laws to protect the interests of all people, and they seem to be implemented well.｜Pig ｜Pig｜Island｜Novel www.[zhu][zhu][] But the current situation here really hits me." Gao Yuan sighed.

"No matter how good the law is, it must be enforced by people." Mu Tu said: "The three counties in Eastern Liaodong are different from other places in the Han Dynasty. The promulgation of laws can always spread to every corner in the shortest time. Even if those officials, or gentry and businessmen want to do something, they have no courage. Reading and literacy here has not been promoted at all. There are tens of thousands of families of miners in this mine, and there are basically no literate people. Most of them came out of the white mountains and black waters, trying to pass People who live a better life, but their 3617/'>hope has been ruthlessly hit here, and they are not even as good as they are in the mountains, at least there, they still have freedom.”

"You mean to say that if you want to cure the disease, you must first start with education."

"Of course. This is fundamental. The king implemented compulsory education throughout the Han Dynasty, compulsory school-age children enrolled in school, and a large amount of subsidies from the state, but in the three counties of Liaodong, it was not implemented."

"I know this. Because of funding and manpower, the promotion of this matter can only be done step by step. In the mainland of the Central Plains, there are still many states that have not been fully implemented. After all, it is only five years since the founding of the Han Dynasty. There are many things It can’t be done overnight.”

"My lord, in fact, in your heart, the three counties of Liaodong are not as important to you as the mainland. In other words, the three counties of Liaodong are currently positioned in the imperial court as suppliers of raw materials and food. "Mutu said. "Because here, there are still mostly foreigners."

Mutu's sharp accusation did not make Gao Yuan angry, but made him silent for a while. He said: "Yes, deep in my heart. Or I really have this idea. But now, I know I was wrong. The foundation of the three counties in Liaodong is worse than any other place in the mainland. In fact, they should be the most I have been strengthened, and I made a mistake on this issue. As the king, if my attitude is only three points, it will become ten points in the end."

"The king is holy."

"You still think I'm holy?" Gao Yuan asked with self-deprecation.

"It's because you don't evade the problem, and you don't hide your mistakes. If you can realize the problem here, I won't regret it even if I die." Mutu said with a smile.

"Do you think you will die?" Gao Yuan asked with interest.

"Of course, Your Majesty, don't forget that I graduated from the Law Department of Jicheng Comprehensive University. In the process, it was illegal, and it also caused serious consequences. This time, the riots killed hundreds of people, all of whom were the mine guards and the police stationed at the mine police station. I miscalculated their anger, and when the incident happened, I almost couldn't control it, and I should be responsible for the hundreds of lives alone."

"You can't start the wrong process because of the right result. This is what I learned in the law department."

"You are a Han, why are you willing to pay the price of your life for these foreigners?" Gao Yuan looked at this scholar who seemed to put life and death aside.

"Your Majesty said, no one is born noble, no one is born poor, all beings are equal, especially in front of the law, and no one is above the law, not even you, fairness, justice It is the standard that those of us who study the law must stick to for the rest of our lives." Mutu said: "So in my eyes, there are no Han people or foreigners. They are all citizens of our Han Kingdom, so naturally they should enjoy the privileges of the Han people. own rights."

Gao Yuan nodded and stood up, "Mutu, I appreciate you very much, but my attitude will not affect the law's judgment on you. No matter what your original intention is, your actions still cause The hundreds of people who died should not have died like this, even if they were guilty, they should be judged by the law."

"I understand."

"That's it, everything here will be changed, not only the rights and interests these miners should enjoy will be guaranteed, but I will also assure you that you will get a fair trial, so yes Whether it's life or death, it's still uncertain, everything will be judged by the law, what else do you want to say?" Gao Yuan said.

"No, the Great Han has a king like you. I believe it won't be long before the flag of the Great Han will be planted in every corner of the world." Mutu bowed deeply.

The riot of tens of thousands of miners in the Tongji Iron Mine started strangely, but ended in a way that everyone did not expect. There was no such large-scale cleaning and arrest as outsiders had guessed. From the beginning to the end, the miners who were arrested were not There were more than 20 people, but nearly 100 people were arrested from the company of Tongji Mine and Liaoning County. Cao Tianci from the police department took over the investigation of the case directly, and no one above the local level was allowed to intervene.

At the same time, Yan Shenghao, Chief Assistant, Wu Qi, Zhou Changshou, Minister of Culture and Propaganda Huo Xiaolin, Chief Justice Jing Shou and other high-ranking officials also rushed all the way from Jicheng to Helin after the incident. city.

Gao Yuan is in a very bad mood. As the investigation of the Cao Tianci case deepens, more and more shady stories surface. It is not just the Tongji Mine that does this, but the entire three counties of Liaodong. It can be said that it is a very common phenomenon, but it is just a degree of severity.

"Every piece of rough iron transported from the three counties of Liaodong is stained with the blood of these miners." Gao Yuan followed the file that was getting thicker day by day, "Describing it as shocking is not enough to explain the situation The seriousness of this matter, this matter must be thoroughly investigated to the end. No matter who those people are involved or which company workshops, we will never tolerate it."

Yan Shenghao's face is heavy. This is his first year as chief assistant. As far as such a scandal broke out, it was not a serious stain on Tara's ruling career. Although this incident was frozen three feet, It didn't happen overnight, but obviously, in the end, he was still to blame for this matter.

"Your Majesty, as the chief assistant, you should be responsible for this."

Gao Yuan waved his hand a little irritably, "You have the responsibility, but you don't have to take the responsibility indiscriminately. Immediately summon the county guards of Jilin and Heilongjiang to Helin to explain the situation. As for Mao Dewang, the county guard can't do it .”

"Your Majesty, according to the current investigation, Mao Dewang has nothing to do with these matters, at most it is the responsibility of negligence."

"It's not negligence, it's dereliction of duty." Gao Yuan looked at Jing Shou on the side and retorted. "Even if he himself has no problem, but so many officials under his command and congressmen are involved, can you say that he has no responsibility?"

"If Mao Dewang is dismissed, who will be transferred to be the governor of Liaoning now? Anyway, the importance of Liaoning County is self-evident, and the most important thing here is stability." Yan Shenghao said.

"How is the pension situation going?" Gao Yuan said, rubbing his temples.

"A large amount of food and daily necessities have been transferred to Tongji Mine, and many doctors have been recruited from Helin City. Now the calm has been restored. The normal order of Tongji Mine will be restored in the shortest possible time, and production will resume. Tongji Mine is the second largest iron mine in Dahan, and if it cannot resume production for a long time, it will have a great impact on the price of Dahan Steel." Yan Shenghao said.

Gao Yuan nodded, went through the candidates in his mind, and suddenly remembered a person, his eyes lit up, "Call Fang Shu over here, let him know the governor of Liaoning, and clean up this mess."

"Fang Shu?" Yan Shenghao was taken aback, "Your Majesty, although Fang Shu is talented, his qualifications are too low. Suddenly Jian was promoted to the position of county guard. Did he rise too fast? The current complicated situation in Liaoning~IndoMTL.com~Can he handle things here?"

"Complicated? Is the situation here more complicated than that of Yingshui? The three counties in Liaodong want to develop, and Liaoning County is the leader, and Fang Shu happens to have a mind that ordinary officials don't have. Old Yan In the final analysis, the problem of the three counties in Liaodong is still an economic problem, and it is also a problem that the people are not rich. How to make the people's pockets thicker is a very good solution. With money, all other problems can be solved. It's easy to solve. It's him, and the higher-ups issued a transfer order to Fang Shu, ordering him to hand over quickly and come to take office immediately."

"Yes."

"Xiao Lin, the Cultural and Propaganda Department is about to start planning now. In the new year, your department's funds and personnel will be tilted here, and free compulsory education will be developed rapidly."

"Yes, Your Majesty, we can plan this right away, and we can summon students on time in the second half of the year."

Gao Yuan nodded, "Old Yan will take the lead in all these matters, and everyone should do their own thing. This is not a single matter, but involves all aspects. If there is any problem, Lao Yan will Center coordination."

"Abiding." (to be continued...)
