Chapter 174:

These words are cursing again, and it is Geng Qianhu who is cursing.
The reason why the night after Dinghai lost so much was precisely because of this loss. There are too few warships, and the other party's firepower is too fierce. It is also the cunning of the red gang. They chose to do it when they first got on board.
At the time of loading, he sent someone to sneak into the cargo ship, so that they caught them off guard and watched the other party rob the cargo and go away.
Geng Qianhu actually ordered people to chase, but he lost his opponent's firepower. He was obviously many times more than others, but because of the lack of available warships, he could only end in bleakness.
This pointedly pointed at the monk and scolded the bald donkey. This kind of thing would make people feel depressed. The above people are okay, know the means of the red gang, but those below do not know these. In the past few days, how many times Geng Qianhu was secretly scolded, all said that he only knew how to collect money, and it was useless when it was critical.
So upon hearing this, Geng Qianhu was immediately lit, only to stand up and start playing with Xue Tingyan.
At this moment, Xie San, who was sitting below, coughed and picked up the tea pot to drink tea. Here, Geng Qianhu was forced to suppress his anger, and then sat down again.
"Sir Xue seems to be quite easy. What excuses are there for recruiting the strong people? If you don't agree with the above, you are arbitrarily buying private troops and building a battleship. Just burn the wood? "
Xue Tingyan ignored Geng Qianhu's cynicism and glanced at Xie Sanyi.
Seeing that the other party only bowed his head to drink tea, and did n’t pick him up, he smiled and said: "The method is always more difficult than that, as Geng Qianhu said, it does n’t work like this, meaning that you are not doing business in these businesses ? "
Naturally it is impossible not to do it, but even if it is not done, it will not tell you anything.
Seeming to understand the thoughts of these people, Xue Tingyan smiled and said: "You don't do it, it's not that I depreciate my worth, and finally I can see what the money looks like, no matter what, you have to persevere for a few more years, wait I ’m being transferred away, Lord Ye, you wo n’t do it again, I promise you nothing.
Didn't this person come to find fault?
Sentences are heart-to-heart, and they reveal a shame.
Xie San laughed aloud and put down the tea pot said: "Master Xue is frank."
Xue Tingyan looked at him: "It's easy to talk."
"But what Master Geng said is a problem that must be overcome, and Master Xue can't always rely on his own thinking, so he can do everything well." Xie Sanman said reasonably. In fact, he still speaks subtly. In vernacular translation, Xue Tingyan just cares about drawing pictures in his mind, no matter how difficult it is to do these practical problems.
Xue Tingyan casually found a chair and sat there, just across from Xie San.
Before Xie San and others left, when he returned, Xie San changed from the first position to the bottom of his left hand, and Xue Tingyan was originally on the right side of the first position. Now he sits like this for a while, seemingly careless, in fact, it contains a lot of deep meaning.
Xie San's eyes flickered, and Xue Tingyan over there had talked happily.
"In fact, this matter is simple and simple to say, and complicated to say. For example, the recruitment of the people's magistrates, the court had a decree, unusually, if the local garrison is not available, local officials can recruit the people's magistrates to defend local security . Linhai County, Dinghai County, has repeatedly engaged in Japanese pirates, which is also in line with this rule.
"As for the shipbuilding, the Japanese pirates are different from the mountain pirates. The mountain pirates have traces to facilitate the encirclement. The sea pirates are looting according to the sea. Once they flee, they disappear without a trace. Before killing the enemy, you must sharpen the knife first. But it ’s hard for a clever woman to cook without rice. As for how to grind this knife, it ’s hard to get me as a scholar, can it be hard for you? "
Speaking of you, Xue Tingyan looked at Xie San and said.
Xie San smiled and no longer concealed: "Master Xue's ideas are indeed all-encompassing. It's just that this recruitment of people is not effective. The lack of it does not work. The more it does not mention whether it will attract people's attention. It also requires a large amount of silver. Also There is something Mr. Geng said before. The shipbuilding is not radish Bai Song. Just make some wood and you can do it. It also requires silver. Once the ship is built, it needs to be equipped with guns, and these need silver. "
Xue Tingyan looked at him with an expression of "You said for a long time, all the nonsense": "I have given a solution to this before."
Xie San froze for a moment. It seemed that in order to affirm what he thought, Xue Ting said again: "It's not you!"
Ding Huadong wondered: "You have to mean let us make money?"
Xue Tingyan nodded with a smile, praised: "The old man's eyes are like a torch, this is what the officer thinks."
"It's ridiculous. You want to recruit people to build ships, but now let us make money!"
"Yes! You treat us all as fools."
Even Geng Qianhu sneered, looking at Xue Tingyan with a fool's look, but Xie San frowned.
"You guys are really dog ​​biting Lu Dongbin and don't know good people, who this officer is for, but for you, is it for me not to succeed! I'm in charge of the court's order, and I don't do the Rush business with Yiren and was robbed. The person who got the goods is not me. This is a private crime but it is a serious crime. The officer was forced by you to put the duck on the shelf. If you want to do it, you have to do it. If you do n’t want to do it, you have to do it. For the sake of making ideas for you, it is now my absurdity. "
Xue Tingyan said more and more angrily, and stood up angrily, saying: "I think I am a place where I am born, not those of you who come here to do such a shameful thing, can these things happen? I will only be my magistrate for three years. As soon as I arrived, I patted my and walked away. Now it ’s okay, and you are utterly smoldered. The officer also wants to wipe your and clean up the mess!
This may sound harsh, but if you think about it carefully, it seems to be the truth.
So it seems that this county, whose surname is Xue, was affected by them? But I remembered that this person's geese who did not spit out their bones had plucked their hair, and they always felt that something was wrong.
"Since you all think that the official is more busy, then the official simply doesn't care. Your business loves to do it or not. It's a time when things are going on, let's finish playing together!"
After finishing, Xue Tingyan flicked his sleeves and made a move, but was stopped by Xie San.
"Sir Xue also asked for anger, they didn't mean it that way. It was just a sudden encounter with this kind of thing that everyone was upset."
Xue Tingyan paused and turned to look at him suspiciously, until Xie San nodded and smiled at him, he said: "Why? Do you think you are different from them?"
"I am somewhat interested in what Master Xue said, depending on whether it is feasible."
Xue Tingyan waved his hand, seemingly inattentive and indifferent: "There is nothing to do here, Minzhuang is recruited by the county government, and shipbuilding can also come out from the county government, and there will be thousands of households under the guise of not being able to collapse. Come down. In this way, you can use it to advance, and abandon it to retreat.
"This--" Obviously this kind of thing was not decided by Xie Sanyi, so he seemed hesitant.
"If such a good method, you still refuse, then you should not be able to do business in the future. Anyway, the officer does not lose anything, just say it."
"Is it easy for Master Xue to consider one or two?"
Xie San said suddenly when Xue Tingyan stepped forward again, ignoring Geng Qianhu's surprised look.
"If you want to think about it, hurry up and think about it. If you delay one day, you will earn one less day of money. By the way, let me explain to you first. There is no silver in the county government to subsidize you. You can only rely on yourself."
"I still have one question, why is Master Xue struggling so hard?" Xie San seemed to be breezy, but his eyes kept staring at Xue Tingyan.
"Why bother and hard work?"
Xue Tingyan turned around and looked at Xie San with a smile: "You can treat me as sorry for the local people's unsustainable life, or when I love money as much as I can. As long as your business continues, I will be able to make money. Happy but not doing. "
Xue Tingyan has left, but Xie San is still deep in thought.
On the other hand, the Ding family and others were a little anxious, for fear that Xie Sanyi couldn't think about it, and fell in love with the surname Xue.
"Xie Sanye, you must think about it, this is not just talking about it. Even if you agree on it, we will go back and report to the owner."
Xie Sanchang breathed out a breath and said, "This is the only practical method at present and the most beneficial to us."
When he saw the other party talking, he raised his hand and interrupted, saying: "We can't stop all business because of choking food and worrying that the gang will come next time. But if you don't guard against it, if you come back again, everyone must be angry. Severe injuries. These silvers are better than cheap red gangs, it is better to build their own protection forces, but everyone is a family, if you have a private warship, if nothing happens, the accident will involve the whole family. Presumably this is also Everyone has been hesitant to dare to touch the main cause of that minefield easily.
"Now this matter has been helped by someone, no matter how selfish this person is, will it be exposed. There is no one-size-fits-all solution in this world, we can only gamble and not be exposed. Take a step back, if this matter is exposed, is it not Isn't it a bad guy to have a ready-made dishonest? "
The man in the dark is naturally Xue Tingyan, the government of Dinghai County.
The Minzhuang was organized by the county government, and the boat was built by the county government. It broke the sky and could not find Xie San and others. Like this kind of thing, Geng Qianhu is not suitable, and Xie San and others are not suitable. The most suitable one is Master Xue Tingyan Xue, the parent official of Dinghai County.
After all, Xie San and others were too concerned about it. If they were to switch to the Xie family in the past, where would they suffer from this kind of uselessness? But now it is Dachang, not the former dynasty, and the Xie family is not the previous Xie family, but it is the Xie family who survived under the influence of various forces.
Otherwise, it would take so much effort to reopen the port of Shuangyu Island. No matter how good Shuangyu Island and Dinghai County are, the coastline of Dachang is so long, and there is no better place than this place, but Xie's family can't touch it, nor can it touch it.
Of course, there is an idea deep inside Xie San's heart, but he doesn't intend to say this idea for the time being.
The following people looked at each other, Ding Huadong took the lead in saying: "We can't do anything about this matter, we have to report it to the owner."
"Then as soon as possible, as this Xue Zhixian said, the one day delay is not the time, but the money. I also hope that you can explain to the family heads, no matter whether this is your entry, the Xie family is in. . "
"Sanye!" Geng Qianhu surprised out loud.
Xie San raised his hand and interrupted him.
Seeing this, Ding Huadong and others did not stay too much, but arched their hands and left.
After these people left, Geng Qianhu seemed to want to say something but hesitated.
Xie San looked at him and said, "Uncle Geng, you say there is someone behind Xue Tingyan?"
"This--" If it were ordinary people, how could Geng Qianhu dare to assert one or two, but this surname Xue was too much to be true and false, he did not dare to say anything.
"If so, who is that person?"
Five days later, Xie San sent someone to give Xue Tingyan a sum of money.
This move is self-evident, naturally he agreed to what he said before.
The first thing Xue Tingyan did was to provide compassion to the dead and injured in the Dinghai Trade Union. In fact, the pension has already been carried out. Although it is difficult for the dead to hide their grief, it is always disaster-ridden in such a place. In addition, there is not a lot of silver in the government. Silver is enough to feed the family for several years.
As for what to do in a few years, no one knows, the destiny of the people at the bottom is just like duckweed, and a big wind and waves are enough to turn upside down.
The square in front of the Yamen County is full of people.
Xue Tingyan wore a plain shirt and his eyes were red.
Several bureaucrats stood beside him, and he was distributing silver for the dead and injured.
One by one came to the front, took a pack of silver from the servant's hand, some took the silver and left, and some cried with emotion.
"Thank you, sir. Thank you for your stay. I am thinking about how our orphans and widows should be. I didn't expect the government to send us money once, and today again."
"I'm sorry, I was thinking of finding a job for everyone, and I can always provide for my family, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen." Xue Tingyan said dimly.
An old woman who had just taken the silver before wiped her tears and said, "Adult, it's not your business if you say this. Our lives are born with bitterness. In the early years, we were burned and looted by pirates, and then pirates came. It ’s less, but the days ca n’t survive. In order to support my family, I took the risk of doing such a job there. In fact, I was mentally prepared when I was doing it, and I lost my life sooner or later ... The wife lived all these years, several times in vain Send someone to a black-haired person, or leave, no need to stay in this world to suffer ... "
The old lady said while staggering away.
Some people who heard these words looked sad, while others could not help crying.
Most of the people who cry can feel it.
Xue Tingyan felt very blocked in his heart, and there was clearly much to be said, but looking at the sorrowful people in front of him, he couldn't say anything.
"Adult?" It was Fan Xiancheng's voice.
Xue Tingyan tranced, and glanced at him: "The officer is a little tired, go back to the county government office first."
After he finished speaking, he left in a hurry, leaving Fan County Cheng a little stunned, and he did not forget to say to the people on the side: "Adult, this is tired, what happened since the fight, the adults have trouble eating and sleeping for many days. Well, it ’s the end of the crossbow. "
"Adult is Lord Qingtian."
"Adult is a good officer, we can all understand."
"Let adults have a good rest, they are all flesh and blood, but not iron."
On the other side, Zhou Zhubiao repeatedly glanced at Fan Xiancheng and asked him what to do next. Don't see if Xue Tingyan can go, they can't go, they haven't forgotten what this trip is mainly for.
The two confronted each other for a while, and finally Fan Xiancheng stepped forward and said to the onlookers: "We are all saddened by this tragedy, especially the adults of Zhixian County who stayed up all night for many days in order not to let the future When something similar happened, the county government decided to recruit more people ... "
A carriage was parked not far from the street.
The person in the car was Xie San.
"Three Masters, do you really think about it? I'm afraid the master will be in trouble this time."
"Let's go."
...
In the house inside the county government office, Hong'er looked at Dad's return and shut himself in the study room. He puzzled and asked Zhao'er: "Mum, Dad, what's the matter?"
Zhaoer looked at the closed door, sighed, and touched his head with a smile, and said, "Your father, your father is actually a very soft-hearted person."
