Chapter 34: Subjective Assumptions

Yang Zheng, a native of Yuezhou, was eighty years old, four years of Shaosheng, the one hundred and sixty-ninth in the palace examination, and then awarded the official, and actually led the ** county and county.

Yang Zheng has a straightforward personality, and he can't rub half a grain of sand in his eyes.

Yang Zheng was in the Jinshi, when he was the first county and county leader, the things he encountered were similar to Li Sanjian, and the subordinate officials of Nan'an County set up a banquet for him to receive the wind and wash the dust, and presented the official respect, but Yang Zheng was scolded by Yang Zheng, and almost beat them one by one, and even the face of the ** county order at that time was not given, so Yang Zheng was not allowed by the subordinates.

"Speaking of Nan'an County, this official has a question, and I hope Yang Zhixian can solve his doubts." Li Sanjian saw that Yang was anxious to leave, so he didn't talk nonsense with him, and said straight to the point.

"Li Zhizhou, please speak!" Yang Zheng saw Li Sanjian asking, so he had to sit back in the chair honestly and said.

"Tong'an, Dehua, ** and other counties are waiting for Quanzhou to close the warehouse to release grain, but you ** county is the only one who wants to return, why is this?" Li Sanjian asked after thinking about it.

"Li Zhizhou, the flood is raging, the disaster is like fire, and the disaster relief is like fighting fire. My ** county is the most serious flood in Quanzhou, and the people of my ** county are already in distress, so the lower officials are anxious and want to rush back to ** county to help and appease the people. Yang Zheng replied when he heard this.

"Yang Zhixian is compassionate to the people, and the official is very pleased." Li Sanjian nodded, expressed his approval, and then asked: "The reason why Tong'an, Dehua, ** and other counties are waiting for Quanzhou to close the warehouse and release grain is because they have no money and no grain. ”

"Yes, but not much." Yang Zheng replied when he heard this: "** The grain stored in the county warehouse is because the lower officials bought grain for storage when the grain price was low in the harvest year. **When the county rich office is unwilling to serve on errands, it is also filled with money and grain, plus... Plus the lower officials are stingy... Therefore, the county warehouse has grain in stock, but not much, for the flood, it is tantamount to a drop in the bucket, so the plan of the lower official is to open the county warehouse after the order to open the warehouse, go back to open the county warehouse, and borrow money and grain in the rich room, first save the emergency, and when the harvest year, then collect some grain and return it to the rich room. ”

"That's wonderful!" Li Sanjian was overjoyed when he heard this, and nodded again and again: "My counties in Quanzhou are like Yang Zhi County, what do the people of Quanzhou have to worry about?" What else do you have to worry about? It's just Yang Zhi County, is it easy to borrow money and grain? Is Tomino willing to borrow money and food? ”

"It's not easy!" Yang Zheng shook his head and sighed: "Among the rich families, there are a few righteous people after all, and most of the rich families are hoarding grain when the price is high when they are in danger. Xia Guan can only do his best, Xia Guan is a ** person, and there is still a little property in the family, and he plans to sell it for emergency relief. ”

"Yang Zhixian, you... Li Sanjian was so moved that he couldn't speak, and after a moment of silence, he said to Yang Zheng: "I am a dignified Quanzhou Prefecture, how can I let Yang Zhi County sell my property to help the victims?" The official is determined to immediately open the regular position, it must be opened, and it must be opened if it is not opened, and the official will smash the regular position, and if someone dares to forcibly block it, then the official will not be blamed for being ruthless. ”

At this moment, Li Sanjian can no longer be allowed to slowly understand why Cui Yongzi and others did not immediately open the regular position, why did they block it in every possible way?

The flood can't tolerate this, and the victims can't tolerate this, so Li Sanjian plans to immediately forcibly open the regular closing position, help the victims, and calm the price of rice that has skyrocketed in recent days, even if he kills one or two people for this, Li Sanjian will not hesitate.

The dignified Song Guogong himself dared to kill, let alone a state government? Li Sanjian said ruthlessly in his heart.

Li Sanjian thought about it, and his face couldn't help but show a trace of ruthlessness.

Yang Zheng saw a ruthless look on Li Sanjian's face, and he was suddenly shocked, and hurriedly said to Li Sanjian: "Li Taishou, you can't help it, you can't help it, the reason why the lower official plans to leave without waiting for Chang Ping to open a position is also because Xia Guan knows that Chang Ping has no food!" ”

"To what extent is there no grain in the warehouse? Nothing at all? Li Sanjian was not very surprised when he heard this, the reason was that Li Sanjian estimated yesterday that Quanzhou often closed the position and had no grain.

The reason why Li Sanjian said this is to force out the truth about the lack of grain in the regular liquidation and see what caused the lack of grain in the regular liquidation.

"I don't know the specific circumstances." Yang Zheng replied when he heard this: "However, according to the estimation of the lower officials, even if there is grain in Chang Ping, there is not much left." ”

Why is that? Does Yang Zhixian know? Li Sanjian then asked.

Yang Zheng shook his head and said: "The specific reason is not clear to the lower officials, but it is estimated that the lower officials are due to the fact that they are unable to make ends meet." ”

"Can't make ends meet?" Hearing this, Li Sanjian stared at Yang Zheng tightly and asked, "Is there any reason why the guards are stealing?" ”

Yesterday, Li Sanjian suspected that Cui Tongju and others were guarding and stealing, which caused the vacancy of Changping, and because of this, Cui Tongjuan and others did not dare to open Changping.

If this is the case, Li Sanjian will definitely take them down and punish them.

"Not at all!" Hearing this, Yang Zheng replied categorically: "What kind of person is Cui Tongju? For my rare clean and honest officials in Quanzhou, how can they rebel against the law of the country for this? ”

"Qing official, right official? Yang Zhixian might as well talk about it, what kind of person is Cui Tongjuan? Li Sanjian secretly blamed himself in his heart when he heard this, so he hurriedly asked. Let's read the book

If Cui Yongzi is really a clean and honest official, then Li Sanjian almost wronged him.

"Li Taishou, Cui Tong judged that this person is also from a lowly family." Yang Zheng then told Li Sanjian in detail about Cui Yongzi.

"Li Moucha is unknown, and I am wrong!" Li Sanjian sighed after listening.

Cui Yongzi, Emperor Shenzong of the Song Dynasty during the Yuanfeng period, was from a peasant family, and he was also from a humble background. After being an official, he was honest and self-disciplined, and he had a clean air, and because of this, he was not tolerated by the official place of the Great Song Dynasty, and for more than ten years as an official, he was only promoted to the general judgment of Quanzhou, and he was also an official in a remote state capital, and there was no possibility of moving to the court.

Based on yesterday's events alone, Li Sanjian concluded that Cui Yongzi was a corrupt official, a granary rat, and almost won Cui Tong's sentence... This is too arbitrary.

Subjective assumptions kill people, Li Sanjian then secretly reminded himself in his heart that in the future, as a governor of the state government, he must be cautious about people and things, and the same mistake cannot be made again.

"Yang Zhixian!" After half a ring, Li Sanjian said to Yang Zheng: "Are you willing to be my Quanzhou supervision envoy?" Patrol the whole state, press and inspect the assassination officials. ”

From the imperial court to the Lufu state army, the Song Dynasty had officials with supervisory powers.

The imperial court has the Imperial History Tower, the Imperial Court, and the supervision of hundreds of officials, and the road-level supervision yamen is the transfer department, the prison department, the Changping Division, the horse envoy, etc., the Fuzhou army is the general judgment, and the general judgment is mainly responsible for the supervision affairs of the prefecture army.

There are inspectors under the general judgment, and they are basically set up temporarily.

The selection and appointment of Song supervision officials is nothing more than three ways, the emperor is personally promoted, and one is also; Minister's recommendation, two also; The last one is the elimination of the Zaizhitang.

Li Sanjian was a doctor of the Liupin Dynasty at this time, and he knew the military affairs of Quanzhou, so Li Sanjian could recommend state-level officials at this time, not to mention that Li Sanjian at this time had already asked the Song Emperor Zhao Ji to appoint officials below the state level, and he only needed to report to the court afterwards.

At this time, Li Sanjian needed an official to supervise the flood and relief in various counties, so he planned to appoint Yang Zheng as the supervision official of Quanzhou.

"This..." After thinking about it for a while, Yang Zheng said to Li Sanjian: "Li Taishou is so affectionate, Yang is very frightened, but the disaster relief in Nan'an County is more urgent, why don't you wait for the lower officials to appease Nan'an County, and then make plans?" ”

Do you really think I'm demented? At this time, Yang Zheng secretly said in his heart, do you still think that there are not many people I have offended? In the past, it was just a matter of one county, and if Yang Zheng accepted Li Sanjian's appointment, then it would be a matter of Quanzhou...

"That's it!" Li Sanjian thinks about it, at present, relief and disaster relief is the most urgent matter, and Nan'an County is the most serious disaster.

"In this way, Yang Zhixian will return to Nan'an County today." Li Sanjian then said to Yang Zheng: "There is one thing that the official needs to remind Yang Zhixian, that is, after you return to Nan'an County, no matter what you do, the official will follow it." Not only that, if you have any difficulties in Nan'an County, you can make people come to Quanzhou, and this official will do his best to help. ”

"Thank you, Mrs. Lee!" Yang Zheng was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly got up and gave a heavy salute and said: "With Li Taishou's words, the lower officials should go all out to solve the difficulties of the people and the worries of Li Taishou!" ”

At this time, Yang Zheng had already resisted from the beginning, and unconsciously became cooperative with Li Sanjian.

It seems that the new governor is not a person who does not seek his own government, and he is not a person who is a vegetarian meal. . . It should be a person who is worried about the people, Yang Zheng said secretly in his heart.

"Li Taishou, there is a sentence before the official leaves, I don't know whether to say it or not?" Yang Zheng was about to leave, when he suddenly turned to Li Sanjian and said.

"Yang Zhixian has something to say, this official will never blame you." Li Sanjian said to Yang Zheng with a smile.

"The most important thing for the flood in Quanzhou is not to help the victims, but to control the water." After thinking about it, Yang Zheng said to Li Sanjian with some hesitation: "Before and after the flood control, Quanzhou is currently raining heavily for days, the river is surging, and the tide is also pouring in, so the most important thing at present is to dredge the waterway and strengthen the embankment, but blindly reinforcing the embankment is not going to work, and the water control is better than dredging." ”

"Yang Zhixian has something to say, although he is blunt, he doesn't have to say it." Li Sanjian nodded when he heard this.

"Li Taishou, at present, the most critical thing is to discharge the flood, if the flood cannot be discharged in time, if the flood breaks the dam, more people will be affected, so it will cause the disaster in Quanzhou to be more serious." Yang Zheng said loudly.

"Flooding? Where does the flood come from? Li Sanjian frowned and asked when he heard this.

"**County Flood Discharge." Yang Zheng replied.
