Chapter 132 Then the shopkeeper died of smallpox......
Not only did he die, but also his family, from his elderly father to the child who had just been breastfeeding, all died of smallpox - you must know that after Li Zhen came to Datang, he thought that the most meaningful thing was to use cowpox to inoculate smallpox, so that the demon of smallpox could no longer threaten the lives of the Datang people, and the Datang people no longer had to talk about smallpox and change color.
Because of Li Zhen's efforts, as early as more than ten years ago, Datang has completed the popularization of cowpox to prevent smallpox, and everyone in Datang, including newborn children, has been vaccinated with cowpox, and it stands to reason that smallpox should not be regenerated, but the shopkeeper not only died of smallpox, but also caused the family to die, which is really incredible.
At that time, no one thought that there was something strange in it, but after careful examination by the doctors and doctors, they were surprised to find that their family really died of smallpox, which not only planted a haze in the hearts of the people of the entire Chang'an City, but also deeply shocked Gong Qin, because Gong Qin knew very well that this was the force behind Captain Qin to show his strength, and at the same time he was warning him - do things for us honestly, otherwise we can let a person who was vaccinated with cowpox suffer from smallpox and die.
Naturally, there are ways to make you die without a place to be buried, not only you, but your family and friends will disappear from this world.
In fact, several later events also proved that they had this ability, after sitting in the position of factory director, of course, Gong Qin could not have offended people, especially some of them were still Li Zhen's henchmen, they soon discovered that Gong Qin was wrong, and also found out that he was secretly smelting silver for others, which made them very angry.
Someone came to the door to ask Gong Qin for trouble and asked sharply, but not long after he came out, he was trampled off by the galloping horse, and then he was crushed into a pulp by the flat cart full of silver ore that followed him, which was miserable.
There are also people who tried to secretly collect evidence, intending to send it back to Lingnan to hand it over to Li Zhen, but when they were inspecting the furnace, they accidentally fell into the furnace, and the whole person was turned into ashes by the high temperature of the furnace, and the ashes were completely wiped out, and the bones were gone, and there was no place to bury the dead.
There are also people who try to attack Gong Qin directly, planning to make a first strike and force him to take the initiative to take his own crimes, but before they can do it, they drowned because they fell into the water, and when the corpse was fished up, the corpse was soaked and rotten.
And not only were they unlucky, but their families were also unheard of - because when the messenger of the funeral brought the news back to the deceased's hometown, he found that the deceased's family was either completely dead, or all of them were missing, and no one could be found.
Since then, Gong Qin has never encountered any trouble, and he, the factory director, has become more and more stable, but man is a forgetful animal, at the beginning, Gong Qin was still very in awe of the forces behind Captain Qin, and every task was completed perfectly, so nothing happened.
But after a long time, even with Gong Qin's fear, he couldn't help but let go of the vigilance in his heart, especially after the major forces also extended their hands to the silver mine, Gong Qin's income became more and more high - every force wants to reach out here, and Gong Qin is an unavoidable level for them, so when a force reaches in, they have to give a filial piety and corresponding shares......
In addition, others begged for him, and every time they met, they naturally had to say a few words of flattery, so slowly, Gong Qin's heart gradually became higher, and he gradually forgot the terror of the forces behind Captain Qin, and no longer took them seriously.
And this force is really insatiable, the monthly silver has slowly increased from 15,000 taels at the beginning to 30,000 taels, and now it has increased by 50,000 taels......
If it's just their family stealing the ore, let alone 50,000 taels, even if it's 100,000 taels Gong Qin, they can squeeze out a certain amount of time - after all, the smelting technology on the side of the Iwami Silver Mine Smelter is the top in the whole world, and it only takes less than an hour for a ton of silver ore to be poured into the mold from the time it is put into the furnace (the rest of the cooling does not need to occupy the time of the furnace).
That is to say, if the smelter can work for 12 hours a day in two shifts, a furnace can smelt almost 10 kilograms of silver a day (according to the calculation of 800 grams of silver per ton, more than 9 kilograms can be produced in 24 hours), that is, 20 catties, and 1 catty is 16 taels, that is, 320 taels of silver, which is 9,600 taels a month, that is to say, even if it is smelting 100,000 taels of silver, it only needs ten furnaces to dry for a month.
And there are hundreds of furnaces in the entire smelter, and Gong Qin is the director of the factory, so it is definitely no problem to transfer a few furnaces alone.
The problem is that as I said before, there are not many people and forces involved in the silver mine, you and me......
Each of them has its own furnace in the smelter, and it can be said that these furnaces are all customized at their own expense, and there are actually no more than twenty furnaces belonging to Li Zhen alone, and the rest have been divided among the major forces.
And now the forces behind Qin Xiaowei want to increase silver production, then the only way is to increase the number of their furnaces, but there are only so many furnaces in the entire smelter, if you want to increase yours, you can only occupy Li Zhen's furnace - the rest of the families have sprinkled silver on Gong Qin, although it is said that everyone is respectful to him, but that is because people have asked for him, if there is no this, I am afraid that in the eyes of others, a little Gong Qin is not even a fart, right?
It is conceivable that once Gong Qin dares to reduce their silver production, then they will be torn apart and make the matter public, even if there is the force behind Captain Qin to protect him, I am afraid that he will not be able to escape Li Zhen's anger......
Of course, it is more likely that they will abandon themselves as soon as possible, leaving themselves alone to bear Li Zhen's anger, and then the angry Li Zhen will kill the whole family to vent their anger.
And even if Li Zhen doesn't do it, those who are fooled by him will definitely find trouble with him, and at that time his fate may be worse than falling into Li Zhen's hands - Li Zhen is the prince of the Tang Dynasty after all, even if he deals with it, he will command to play according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, but those forces hidden in the dark are not so disciplined, they will definitely use the most brutal means to deal with him.
