Chapter 751 Sharks are here
In June, the biggest event in Chang'an City was a dispute over the water source between the official papermaking workshop and Pinganli.

The sewage pond of the official papermaking workshop was flooded due to continuous rain, and a pipe gushed under the embankment. The dam broke in the middle of the night and flooded 28 mu of land in Ping'anli.

Before dawn, the furious head of Ping'an Li led a hundred villagers to set up a paper-making workshop.

By the time Yunchu got the news, three people had already died and 21 were injured.

A paper workshop is actually not a good workshop, not to mention the huge amount of water consumption, and also produces a large amount of sewage containing lime, which cannot be used directly on farmland, so we have to choose a low-lying land without farmland to store it first. Waiting to be slowly absorbed by the land of the Loess Plateau.

Yunchu had already warned all the papermaking workshops to take care of these sewage pools, but in the end, something went wrong.

For problems with the sewage pool, Yunchu was mentally prepared.

Today, the number of Chang'an people who directly eat papermaking has reached 3, and the number of people indirectly dependent on papermaking workshops has reached at least 6.Not to mention the marketing of the produced paper throughout the Tang Dynasty, the farthest one has been taken to the distant Rome by Hu merchants.

Especially after the emergence of papermaking technology using young bamboo, Chang'an City took advantage of its surrounding hills to plant a large area of ​​bamboo forests, and then allowed Chang'an's paper industry to flourish with sufficient raw materials.

It is the loss of eight acres of land, which is not worth mentioning in front of the huge economic benefits brought by the paper industry.

Even before Yunchu arrived at the scene, the Wannian county government had already formed an opinion in favor of the papermaking workshop.

As for the environmentalism that only Yunchu knew about, as long as Yunchu didn't mention it, no one would know about it. However, in the Tang Dynasty, when everything was premised on having a full stomach, even if Yunchu brought it up, no one would know about it. will care.

Where does the huge amount of domestic sewage that appears every day in Chang'an City finally flow from the underground drains?
The answer is naturally the Weishui. After the sewage flows in the Weishui for a while, it will flow into the Yellow River and finally be sent to the sea.

Even so, the water of the Wei River is still clear, and the water of the Yellow River is still turbid. Whether it is clear or turbid, it has nothing to do with human pollution.

The trouble now is that three people died.

If no one was killed, the county magistrate Yunchu didn't even need to go to the scene of the fight himself.

Nowadays in the countryside of Datang, all kinds of fights are very prevalent. For water, for land, for a mountain, sometimes even for a gossip, a large-scale fight scene no less than an army battle can be formed.

And in this kind of scene, the main force was actually the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. These bastards directly used what they learned in the army in the fighting.

It can be described as extremely bold.

Therefore, Yunchu's going to the countryside was not to mediate the weapon fight at all, but to punish the government soldiers who participated in the weapon fight.

As long as these bastards are dealt with, the fighting in the countryside will become gangsters fighting each other, and nothing serious will happen.

When Yunchu arrived at the accident area, the fight had subsided long ago, and county lieutenant Zhang Jia was teaching the main person responsible for the fight with a whip in his hand.

The government soldiers who participated in the brawl stood aside with uncertain expressions. The armor they had removed was neatly placed on the ground. Yunchu also saw sticks, hoes, rakes and wooden forks. Fortunately, they were not used. Standard weapon.

It was because of the Fubing from the Papermaking Workshop against the Fubing from Ping'anli that the number of casualties was reduced to the current situation.

If the government soldiers on both sides directly target the common people, it is very possible that the number of casualties will increase tenfold.

When Yunchu arrived, the government soldiers knelt on the ground on one knee. This is not the etiquette for common people to meet the county magistrate, but the etiquette for subordinates to meet the general.

Yun Chu stopped in the middle of this group of people, glanced at the government soldiers present, and without asking why, said directly to Zhang Jia: "What errands do you have that can embarrass these bastards?"

Zhang Jia said with a sinister smile, "Reporting to the county lord, there are always unformed baby corpses clogging the sewers in Pingkangfang, and no one is willing to take over even if the subordinates offer a high price. Let these bastards do the work."

Yun Chu glanced at the earth-colored government soldiers in front of him, and nodded, this matter is considered a certainty.

The government soldiers thought that something had happened, and at most one meal of the army stick would be the end of the matter, but they didn't expect to go to the fireworks field to do these dirty things. Moreover, the most taboo things in the army are things related to women. Thinking that these behaviors would bring them bad luck in the army, one by one begged the county lord to spare them once.

It's a pity that Yun Chu was unmoved, he knew that for the current Chang'an soldiers, embarrassing them is far more deterrent than hitting them with military sticks.

"Giving you preferential treatment and giving you face is to cultivate your sense of honor, so that one day when the enemy invades Chang'an, you can take up arms to defend your home and country, not to let you rely on your strength to beat your own people .

That's it this time, and next time, I'll send you to be assistants to Mrs. Wen and wait for the woman to give birth. "

The leader, an elderly mansion soldier, moved a few steps forward on his knees, came to Yunchu and clasped his fists and said, "Junhou, I know I was wrong, please look at the younger one who once fought with him in the south and north. For the sake of it, I dare not ask for forgiveness, I just want to let the little one pay for the redemption, and find someone else to replace it."

Yun Chu smiled, looked at the familiar veteran in front of him and said: "Old Ding, you are also an old man in the army, when did you hear that there was a ransom with money under Ben Hou's command?
If you have committed other mistakes, the Marquis should protect you, and it will be convenient for you. This time is different, you are beating your own people, and you are killing yourself. Now, you are doing benevolence outside the law, don't you know Anyway.

Let me tell you, not only are you going to Pingkangfang to dig the sewer, but you are also the leader of this group of people... If the digging is not good, I will only settle accounts with you. "

Lao Ding didn't dare to blame Yun Chu, he just cast his hateful eyes on Zhang Jia, he felt that after this matter was over, he should discuss it with Zhang Jia.

After dealing with the government soldiers, Yunchu came to the side of the three corpses covered with linen, lifted the cloth to look at the faces of the three, and said to Zhang Jia: "The papermaking workshop produces three two-year-old cows, and I will pay you These three families."

Zhang Jia whispered: "Two died in Ping'an, and one died in the paper workshop. The paper workshop will compensate them all?"

Yun Chu snorted coldly and said, "Who made them richer? Who made them mismanage? Not only did they want to sell three cows, they also bought the destroyed 28 acres of land at three times the market price. Plant bamboo."

Zhang Jia said again: "How to deal with the injured?"

Immediately, Yunchu set his sights on the head of Ping'an and the manager of the paper workshop.

"The soup and medicine expenses for the 21 wounded will fall on the two of them, not only to pay for the soup and medicine, but also to compensate the wounded for the wages generated during the time when they are recuperating and unable to work.

The salary is calculated as one hundred dollars a day.

In the future, if there is another fight like this in Wannian County, it will be dealt with according to this example. "

21 people, two pennies a day, whether it is the steward of the paper workshop or the head of the Ping'an Village, both of them can afford the money, but the family business will shrink greatly, it is certain.

Yunchu handled the whole matter in a few words.

Over the years, in Wannian County and Chang'an County, there have rarely been scenes where the people think that officials and officials protect each other. In addition, when dealing with matters related to the people, these two counties mostly follow the township regulations and civil agreements. The law is rarely used, so the result of dealing with things is basically in line with the wishes of the people.

This led to a relatively high degree of government approval from the common people. The three families who died wore sackcloth and filial piety and carried them back to prepare for the funeral. The injured were also being treated by the steward and the doctor invited by the village chief.

This was an ordinary day for Yunchu.

When I returned to the county government office, I discussed it with Master Liu, and it was the most cost-effective thing for Master Liu to serve as the chief official there next.

However, just after dawn the next day, when the gates of the city were opened, a government soldier charged into Chang'an City on horseback, and brought a terrible thing that couldn't be worse to Yunchu.

There was a man named Huang Peng from Pinganli who died yesterday in a fight with weapons. Yunchu had already compensated his family with a cow, thinking that the matter was over.

As a result, Huang Peng's son, who had been away from Guanzhong with the nobles in the early years, returned after Yunchu had not been away for a long time yesterday.

Hearing that his father died in a weapon fight, after paying homage to his father, he went into the papermaking workshop that night and killed [-] sleeping workshop workers in one go...

People in Guanzhong are violent, and such things happened frequently in the past, and it took Yunchu a lot of effort to suppress this barbaric habit.

Now, this kind of thing happened again in Wannian County.

Before Yunchu ordered the arrest of this villain, another bad news came from Ping'an Village. Huang Jue, the chief of Ping'an Village, hanged himself to death in a small forest with a rope after learning of the incident.

Then, the steward of the paper workshop stabbed himself to death decisively after witnessing the death of 13 people under his command and hearing the news that the head of Ping'an Li had committed suicide.

Eighteen people have died in a small case of a dam collapse. This is already a vicious case. If Yunchu was an ordinary county magistrate, he would have been dismissed and questioned by now.

Yun Chu carefully recalled whether he missed anything when he dealt with this matter yesterday.

After replaying the whole incident in his mind, he was sure that his handling was correct.

In a group fight without personal grievances, the focus of the disposal is to appease the dead, and the right or wrong of the matter is not important.

When the amount of compensation for the deceased was determined yesterday, he deliberately observed the family members of the three deceased.

A two-year-old farming ox in Chang'an is worth about fifteen guan, which is almost five years' wages for an adult man in Datang.

It couldn't be more appropriate to use it as compensation for the death of the weapon fight. The family members of the deceased were also very satisfied with the result, and no one questioned it in court.

The patriarch of the Huang family, that is, the head of the village, Huang Jue, didn't think there was anything wrong.

That being the case, why did Huang Peng's son turn his back on him immediately after his return, and was willing to risk entering the paper workshop late at night to commit such a monstrous murder?
Thinking of this, Yun Chu patted his head, feeling that he was too reckless yesterday and didn't pay enough attention to this matter. He always thought that the reason for the fighting was the 28 acres of land, but now it seems that it is not...

Too many dead people have already exceeded the jurisdiction of Wannian County, and it is urgent for Dali Temple to take over.

Yun Chu could imagine that at this moment, Di Renjie had already led someone to intervene.

However, while Yunchu was waiting for the results of Di Renjie's investigation, a guy in green clothes, Shi Shiran, walked into the Wannian County Government Office.

Yun Chu went out to greet him, and as soon as the two met, they saw the other party jumping over, grabbed Yun Chu's arm and said, "Yu Chu, I want to be a brother."

Yun Chu looked suspiciously at this guy in a green robe and a green hat, with a long beard and face that had been sunburned red and purple by the ultraviolet rays of the plateau. He was a Tang version of Guan Gong, and he said after a long time: "He Lan, you already took Did you go down to the same tribe as the sheep?"

The He Lanminzhi at this time is completely different from the Helanminzhi in Yunchu's memory. If we say that the Helanminzhi in the past is just a crooked flower in the greenhouse of Datang.

Then, the current He Lanminzhi is a towering tree that has been baptized by wild storms.

Not to mention that this guy still smells like a shark. This smell has a fishy smell, a smell of urine, and the unique salty smell of the sea. (just smelled it today and heard that sharks never urinate)
This is the standard taste of fierce people.
