How can disaster relief be so easy? The post-resettlement work is extremely cumbersome.
Han You had already been mentally prepared for this. Although Xun County was not big, it was not a big problem to resettle more than 4,000 people. As long as the people were resettled, he would notify the capital and let the court send people to take over.
Han You said in Jingzhi Hall that he would send people to the palace every day to report the situation. In the first two days, he only reported the situation. When it arrived, it was being processed, and his words were concise and to the point.
Now, Han You can send someone to report for the last time. They have all been rescued, so don't worry.
The people began to evacuate, and Han You also walked down the mountain. After feeling relieved, his iconic smile returned to his face.
Before entering the carriage, a man covered in stains came running to see the "high official in the capital", but was stopped by two sergeants from the Yidao Battalion. His dirty clothes were covered with stains, and he knelt down. Keep begging.
Han You whistled and he was released.
The man was tall and thin, his turbid eyes only looked at the ground, his rough palms were covered with blood blisters, and the stains on his face made it impossible to tell what he looked like.
When he came to the carriage, the man knelt down and kowtowed three times.
"In front of the little man and horse, the supervisor of Changyuan, please pay your respects to your lord. May your lord have many sons and grandsons, princes and princes for generations to come."
Han You stuck his head out of the car window: "No need to thank me, general. Just thank the Imperial Academy Supervisor Yin Qiuhan and Old Master Yin."
"Your Majesty, what your Majesty said is, Lord Yin will live a long life and have many children and grandchildren."
I am not someone who has seen the big world, just these few sentences over and over again.
Supervisor is a very special position in Changyuan. Let’s just say it is an official. There is no registration list, and the imperial official department cannot find this person.
He is not an official, but he is in charge of all the "miners" in Changyuan. All the men, women, and children living in the four camps in Changyuan are miners.
Without outside intervention, Changyuan was the eldest, but he was not appointed by the imperial court. He was more like a leader among the villagers. No one in the imperial court knew him, only the officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs who often came here to deliver supplies, or the people who pulled him. I have met officials from the Ministry of Mineral Resources several times, but I have never remembered his name.
After Mr. Gong arrived at Changyuan, he was able to gather more than 4,000 people and climb the mountain together just because he persuaded the eunuch Ma Qian. This shows the prestige of the eunuch Ma Qian in Changyuan.
When Han You saw him kneeling in front of the horse, he hesitated to speak and got off the carriage.
Han You has always been very patient with this kind of "skilled work" that comes from the lower classes.
He didn't know Ma Qian, and it was the first time he heard the name, but Ma Qian gave him a favorable impression.
A small and medium-sized supervisor oversees more than four thousand people. His hands are covered with calluses, his skin is dark, and he looks skinny. This image alone has won Han You's respect.
"Supervisor Ma, do you have anything else to do with me?"
Han You winked at Jiang Chai, who helped Ma Qian up and came to Han You.
Ma Qian still didn't dare to look at Han You, staring at the ground with a little fear.
When he came down from the mountain just now, he saw three people whom he knew and had met several times: Zhang Ti, the county magistrate of Xun County, Wang Kunliang, the squire of Xun County, and Zhang Changsheng, the soldier of Xun County. All three of them were hanging there, looking miserable.
In fact, Teacher Gong said that he was the godfather of so-and-so among the emperor's soldiers. Ma Qian didn't understand it at all. He only knew that Han You had a very high official position, which was more important than the workers and household heads he had seen in previous years, because the chiefs of the two ministries I don’t dare to hang up with the county magistrate.
"Sir, you want to kill...can you, can you kill the villain? It's the villain...it's the villain's fault."
Ma Qian said and knelt down again, trembling.
Han You was confused: "Why should I kill you?"
"No... it's not a collapse..." Ma Qian raised his head and said blankly: "Isn't it a collapse of the mountain?"
"Yes, but the mountain collapsed. Why should I kill you? The mountain collapse has nothing to do with you."
"But...but the mountain collapsed." In addition to fear, there was also deep confusion in Ma Qian's eyes.
"The ores in the autumn are... all covered up. Why... why don't they kill us?"
Han You couldn't laugh or cry: "If the ore is gone, it is gone. As long as the people are fine, we are here to save people, not the mines."
Ma Qian was stunned. He was so confused that he forgot about his superiority and inferiority. He stared at Han You, his face full of confusion, and he expressed his confusion in a strange way.
"You...you are a high official of the imperial court, why do you want to save us?"
This time it was Han You's turn to be stunned. Jiang Zhui beside him frowned and said, "Aren't you asking nonsense? If you don't come to save people, why don't you come to save the mine?"
"Yes, yes, you saved us, didn't you just do it... so that we could break through the mountain and dig out the mine? That mine has been... covered for a whole season."
There was silence all around. Han You stared at Ma Qian for a long time, then suddenly turned his head unnaturally, not daring to look into the other person's turbid eyes.
"Go and call Teacher Gong."
Han You's voice was a little hoarse and he said softly that Jiang Zhui went to find Gong Han.
After a while, Gong Han was brought over. Han You pointed to the horse kneeling on the ground and asked impatiently: "Why doesn't he believe that we are here to save people?"
"Because their lives are not valuable, but mines are valuable."
Han You gritted his teeth and said, "I'm here to save people, not just to save the mines!"
Gong Han did not argue with Han You, but walked up to Ma Qian and forcibly helped the latter up.
"The imperial court sent people to Changyuan just to save you, not to save you and then order you to open a road from the north and dig out the mine. Brother Ma, do you believe it?"
Ma Qian carefully looked at Han You's face and shook his head slightly.
Gong Han still smiled, but his smile was extremely numb: "I saved you, but you can't dig out the mines and hand them over to the court. They will kill you and kill four thousand people. Do you believe it?"
With a "plop", he knelt down in front of the horse again, kowtowing like pounding garlic.
"Sir, please spare your life, please spare the lives of the people of Changyuan. The collapse of the mountain is the fault of the villain alone. You killed the villain. Please kill the villain and let the people of Changyuan go. If you kill them, no one will... no one." People are mining for the imperial court."
Ma Qian believed this.
He didn't believe that Han You was just here to save people.
He believed that Han You would kill the people of Changyuan if he could not make up for the losses.
"Shut up!"
Han You was furious and shouted: "I told you, we are here to save people, not to kill people, let alone to save the mines, Gong Han, you tell him!"
Gong Han knew it and asked, "What did you say?"
"Tell them I'm here to save people, just people."
"They didn't believe it."
"Why don't you believe it?"
Gong Han's smile was full of sarcasm: "Why don't you ask His Majesty, the court, or the officials?"
Han You clenched his fists tightly, suppressed his anger, looked in front of the horse and roared: "We are really here to save people, just to save people!"
He was silent in front of the horse, kowtowing in fear.
Han You grabbed Ma Qian's neck collar, pulled the latter up, and growled: "For the last time, the imperial court sent us here just to save people!"
"Why...why?"
After saying "why", Han You weakly let go of his arms, his face flushed with embarrassment.
Countless people around him looked blushing.
This is the voice of the people. They are here just to save us. Why?
Because the people were at a loss what to do, they couldn't understand that the court would save them just to save them.
Because the common people could not understand the "goodwill" of the court, this kind of goodwill made them confused, made them extremely strange, and made them afraid.
