Chapter 31 Closing Positions (Part II)
Being young has the advantage of being young, but it also has the disadvantage of being young, that is, it is often considered out of place, and even if it is reasonable, it will be considered absurd, and it is considered to be ignorant.
Outside the Changping position in Quanzhou, Song Fujian Road, Li Sanjian, who was in his early twenties, revealed his identity, and suddenly surprised all the officials in Quanzhou.
A few months ago, the officials had already heard that the new Quan Governor had promoted Quanzhou City Bo Si to a young imperial court official, but because of the high ground and high ground, almost no one knew Li Sanjian's true age, and all the officials at that time thought that Li Sanjian should be around 30 years old.
It is also very surprising and enviable to be the governor of a state at the age of thirty.
However, at this time, Li Sanjian's edict, confession, and official card made the officials have to believe it, and they had to pack up their contempt and pay homage to Li Sanjian.
Cui Yongzi, the general judge of Quanzhou, also stood up from the chair, tidied up his clothes, and saluted Li Sanjian: "Cui Yongzi, the general judge of Quanzhou, has seen Li Zhizhou. ”
The general judgment is the second of the state capital, and he is the official of the governor or the prefect's assistant, so the governor or the prefect is actually the official of the general judgment, and the following bows must not be rude, so although Li Sanjian is young and Cui Yongzi is only forty years old, Cui Yongzi does not dare to abandon the courtesy of humility, and still respects the lower officials.
Even if the other party is a yellow-mouthed child, as long as his status is above himself, then he cannot give up the courtesy, this is the etiquette.
Quanzhou sentenced Cui Yongzi to be 39 years old today, and he was born as a fellow jinshi during the reign of Emperor Shenzong of the Song Dynasty during the Yuanfeng period.
After Cui Yongzi was named on the gold list, he became a county lieutenant in Zhangzhou, Fujian Road, and later moved several times to become a general judge in Quanzhou.
Li Sanjian didn't dare to slack off when he saw this, he also tidied up his clothes, and respectfully bowed his hand and saluted: "Li is young, although he is the governor, he should not be sentenced to justice, and he will be tormented by Li!" ”
Although the general judgment is the second of the state capital, although he is the auxiliary official of the governor, and although he is named Li Sanjian's shogunate or subordinate, the status of the general judgment is not low, almost equal to the chief official, and sometimes even above the governor or the prefect.
The reason is that the general judge has the power of supervision, which not only supervises the officials of the state government, but also supervises the governors of the state government.
The governor or prefect is the prime minister's county government, that is, the management of the state government's tax collection, money and grain delivery, case handling, military and civil affairs, etc., while the general judgment and the chief official jointly manage the state government, and many government decrees also need to be signed by the governor and the general judgment before they can be issued and implemented.
In addition, the general judgment also holds an extremely important power, that is, the prosecutorial power, that is, the inspector general and the hundred officials of the state capital.
This is especially true for the state capital where the military minister is the governor or the prefect, and the civil minister is the governor of the state, and the general judgment may not be placed, or the prefect or the prefect will be the general judgment, but the military minister will be the governor or the prefect of the state must be placed in the general judgment, and the military minister will be guarded against the military minister like a thief.
At the same time, Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, issued an edict in the third year of Qiande, "When the judges of all prefectures arrive, they must read the official property listed in the account books, and the officials shall not sell them." ”
This puts the power of taxation in charge of official and situational households into the hands of the general judge.
In addition, the general judgment is also in charge of persuading agricultural envoys, camping and water conservancy of some farmland.
Therefore, the general sentence should not be underestimated, Li Sanjian reminded himself.
In fact, before Emperor Shenzong of the Song Dynasty, the general judgment was not clearly defined as the second of the government, state, army, and prison, and it was clear that the auxiliary officials of the government, state, army, and prison chief were the period of Song Shenzong and Zhezong.
Therefore, at this time, Cui Tongju had to meet Li Sanjian in the courtesy of the next official.
"When did Li Zhizhou arrive in Quanzhou? After a long journey, it is better for the lower officials to arrange a place for Li Zhizhou to rest for a while, and then the lower officials will inform Li Zhizhou in detail about the matter of Quanzhou. ”
Li Sanjian's humility made Cui Yongzi have a lot of good feelings towards Li Sanjian, and at the same time, Cui Yongjian quietly avoided Li Sanjian's question just now.
"Thank you Cui Tong for the sentence." Li Sanjian smiled when he heard this: "Li Mou's arrival in Quanzhou today, I do feel a little tired, but the floods in Quanzhou are raging, the people are displaced, and Li can't be allowed to take a breather. Why don't you open a warehouse for food relief immediately? Could it be that he did not get the order of the Fuzhou Promotion Division? ”
The Fujian Road-level Yamen is in Fuzhou, and Quanzhou is about 300 miles away from Fuzhou, and the fast boat or fast horse can reach Fuzhou from Quanzhou in two days, and no more than three days at most.
Besides, the disaster is like a fire, and it is completely reasonable to cut it first and then report the matter to the Fuzhou Lifting Division later.
If Cui Tongju and others use this matter as an excuse to shirk it, Li Sanjian can come up with Zhao Ji's will, and he can order the immediate opening of the regular position, open the warehouse to provide grain, stabilize grain prices, and appease the people.
The reason why Li Sanjian didn't do this was because he wanted to know why Cui Tongju and others were so pushing?
Li Zhizhou worked so tirelessly, busy asking about the political affairs of Quanzhou, and the officials were very admired. But Li Zhizhou, after all, you are a newcomer, and you don't know much about Quanzhou, so why don't you rest for a few days, and then report to the next official? Cui Tongju still refused to say the reason for not opening the regular closing position.
Cui Tongju's constant pushing, and flickering words, made Li Sanjian secretly annoyed in his heart.
Are they really cheating? Or do you look down on yourself in your heart, a young Zhizhou who is "milky but not dry"? Li Sanjian secretly guessed in his heart.
"The official said that there is no need to rest, why did Cui Tong sentence you to be so entangled?" So Li Sanjian asked a little angrily: "Cui Tongju, what is the reason why you are reluctant to open a warehouse for grain relief?" Is there anything unspeakable about Cui Tong's judgment? Saving people is like fighting fires, don't you really understand Cui Tong's judgment? ”
The more Li Sanjian spoke, the more polite he became, as if he was asking Cui Yongzi at this time.
At the same time, Li Sanjian felt more and more that there must be a hidden secret in this matter, and it was related to Cui Yongzi and others.
Could it be that they have been guarding themselves and have already emptied the standing position, so that the standing position has become an empty position? Li Sanjian guessed again.
If this is the case, Li Sanjian plans to sacrifice the "Shang Fang Sword", and maybe he will take the heads of Cui Yongzi and others.
For this kind of giant rat who guards and steals himself, it is not a pity to die, and Li Sanjian will never be soft.
However, this is Li Sanjian's last step, and Li Sanjian will not do it unless he has to.
At present, the most critical thing is disaster relief, and anything else is secondary, and Li Sanjian is very sober about it.
"I... Do I have something to hide? "How can Cui Tongju not understand that Li Sanjian has something to say, and he has a gun and a stick in his words? Therefore, he said with some shame: "Even if the lower officials are unspeakable, it is okay to say whatever the governor says, but no matter what, today's regular closing just can't be opened." ”
"You..." Li Sanjian was suddenly so angry that he was speechless for a while, took a deep breath, and said after easing his excitement: "What if this official orders you to open a regular position today?" ”
"Closing the position is a matter within the responsibility of the lower officials, if Li Zhizhou insists on opening a position, I can go to Fuzhou to raise the division."
Cui Tongju and Li Sanjian went toe-for-tat and refused to back down half a step.
Li Sanjian laughed instead of being angry when he heard this, and wanted to sacrifice the "Shang Fang Sword".
Li Sanjian is not wrong to be the governor of Quanzhou, but as Cui Tongju said, Li Sanjian is a newcomer, he is not familiar with the place, and the so-called strong dragon can't suppress the head snake, and Li Sanjian at this time can't do whatever he wants, and it is impossible for the officials in Quanzhou, including Cui Tongju, to bow down and obey his orders.
At this time, of course, Li Sanjian could use official coercion to suppress him, and he could even sacrifice the "Shang Fang Sword", but if Li Sanjian subdued Judge Cui and others, then it could only cause Judge Cui and others to be unconvinced.
If it reaches this point, in the future, Judge Cui and other officials in Quanzhou will definitely "disobey the yang and the yin" to themselves, so that Li Sanjian will also have a hard time as an official in Quanzhou in the future.
At the same time, Zhao Ji's will, Li Sanjian's "Shang Fang Sword" is his last hole card, since it is a hole card, it can't be easily played.
"Huh!" Li Sanjian thought about it again and again, and asked Cui Tongju: "In this case, since Cui Tongju is unwilling to say and open a position, then this official will not force you, but at this time, the disaster is like fire, and the people are miserable. If we ignore it and the court blames it, who can bear it? Since Cui Tong is unwilling to open a position, you must have a clever plan to relieve the disaster, so the official listened to it and was willing to hear the details. ”
Cui Tongju smiled slightly when he heard this: "When Li Zhizhou did not arrive in Quanzhou, the lower official was responsible for leading the state government to relieve the disaster, but now Li Zhizhou has gone to Quanzhou in person, and if the lower official does this again, he will be suspected of overstepping his bounds." ”
"You..." Li Sanjian was choked by Cui Tong again.
Jiang is still old and spicy, Li Sanjian sighed in his heart.
Li Sanjian really had nothing to say at this time.
If Li Sanjian is allowed to lead people to rescue the disaster at this time, Li Sanjian doesn't know where to start, and he has no clue at all.
It is not so simple to open a warehouse to give grain, stabilize the price of rice, and appease the people, and it is not so easy, and the slightest carelessness in this will have the opposite effect, but it will make things worse, and Li Sanjian is extremely sober about this.
At this time, what Li Sanjian needed to rely on was Judge Cui of Quanzhou Prefecture and other officials in Quanzhou, but Judge Cui kicked the ball back to Li Sanjian, which made Li Sanjian extremely annoyed and helpless.
Are they deceiving, ready to see their own jokes? Li Sanjian glared at Cui Tongju and secretly guessed.
"I'm hungry!" After half a ring, Li San said hatefully.
No matter what, fill your stomach first, Li Sanjian said secretly in his heart, and then let's see the opportunity to act.
As soon as Li Sanjian's words came out, the Quanzhou officials present immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and the two "big guys" in the state government were arguing, which made the officials silent, but there were also many people who were secretly laughing.
"The government respects the minister, the lower officials and others have prepared a wine banquet, please honor the palace." Later, a state official said to Li Sanjian.
