The imperial court appointed Ye Mengde, a Jinshi who had been in Shaosheng for four years, as an envoy to inspect Quanzhou.

After Ye Mengde and others arrived in Quanzhou, Li Sanjian and other civil and military cadres in Quanzhou set up a banquet "according to the rules" to invite Ye Mengde, the envoy of the imperial court.

Because Ye Mengde and Li Sanjian are old acquaintances, after they were full of wine and food, Ye Mengde and Li Sanjian stayed alone to talk.

The two found a secluded place, while drinking tea and enjoying the beautiful scenery in the rain in Quanzhou, while talking carefully.

"Li Sanjian, are you guilty?" Unexpectedly, Ye Mengde changed his words, and asked Li Sanjian with a sinking face.

What is the crime? What am I guilty of? Are ghosts guilty? Li Sanjian was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but then he didn't panic, he did it, put his right leg on top of his left leg, looked at Ye Mengde with a smile and said, "Brother Shaoyun, why do you say this?" What is Li's crime? Brother Shaoyun, how about listening to it? ”

Don't think that if you are an envoy of the imperial court, you can do whatever you want? Li Sanjian was a little unhappy in his heart, he Ye Mengde didn't miss the old love, and he couldn't afford to stick his cold ass with a hot face.

Take a chicken feather as an arrow! Li Sanjian said secretly in his heart.

"Your Majesty is asking." Ye Meng saw Li Sanjian's appearance of being a hanger, and couldn't help crying and laughing, so he said to Li Sanjian angrily.

"Wechen is guilty!" Li Sanjian was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly got up, stood under Ye Mengde, bowed and said respectfully.

Even if Ye Meng has to use a chicken feather as an arrow, Li Sanjian must be respectful, and at this time Li Sanjian said again in his heart...

Despising the imperial court's envoys, such as despising the emperor, this crime Li Sanjian can not afford.

You and your grandmother said that you woke up before you thought it was Ye Mengde who was asking, Li Sanjian said secretly in his heart.

Even if Ye Mengde asked, it was his duty.

"Sheng Yu, why did Li Hanren, the governor of Quanzhou, dig an embankment and flood dozens of fertile fields in ** County?" Ye Mengde paced around in front of Li Sanjian with some pride, and then repeated Zhao Ji's original words.

"Wechen Li Sanjian started His Majesty, Wechen set off from Beijing in February, five... In May, the territory of Quanzhou was encountered, that is, the flood that Quanzhou had not encountered in a hundred years, at this time the seven counties of Quanzhou were flooded, Nan'an County was particularly serious, and the disaster situation in Quanzhou was also extremely serious, and the people lost their place and suffered unspeakably. In order to alleviate the flood in Quanzhou, the minister had to take the policy of flood discharge, and ** county is located in the lower reaches of the Nan'an River, which is the best place for flood discharge, so the minister had to make this decision, but before the flood discharge, the minister has ordered people to persuade the people to leave, and sent people to help the people evacuate, and properly placed in a safe place. ”

Ye Mengde nodded, and then asked: "Shengyu, why did Li Hanren, the governor of Quanzhou, borrow money in the name of the public government in Quanzhou?" After borrowing money and grain, why did they buy rice at a high price, raise the price of rice, and compete with the people for profit? Why such perverseness? ”

"What the fuck is this..." After Li Sanjian scolded angrily, he hurriedly changed his words: "Back to Your Majesty, since Weichen took office in Quanzhou, he found that Quanzhou's warehouse was empty, the grain was only a few thousand stones, and the money was less than 1,000. After the minister borrowed money and grain from the rich room, he found that the borrowed money and grain were still a drop in the bucket, and could not fundamentally alleviate the disaster in Quanzhou, so the minister intended to raise the price of rice and lure traders everywhere to sell rice to Quanzhou. Not long ago, Fuzhou Su Wenhai Su Ti went to Quanzhou to review the matter, so Su Ti sentenced him to provide evidence for the minister. ”

I have fucking money and food, who wants to go into debt? Li Sanjian thought angrily in his heart, isn't it because your imperial court's relief money and food have not arrived for a long time? When you ask this question, do you not knowingly ask?

It turned out that someone had sued the black case, so the imperial court sent an envoy down to verify the matter, and Li Sanjian finally reacted at this time.

Buying rice at a high price, raising the price of rice, competing with the people for profit, and acting perversely, this is the crime that the person who sued the black complaint...

So who is the one who sued the black case? Li Sanjian said secretly in his heart.

"Haha, Li Hanren, it's really you, this time you can be regarded as a ruthless pit for vendors everywhere." Ye Mengde couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and his stiff face finally showed a smile at this time.

"Hehe, Brother Shaoyun praises it." Li Sanjian also smiled a little proudly.

On the occasion of leaving, His Majesty said that the price of rice in Quanzhou had skyrocketed, but after Ye arrived in Quanzhou, he found that the price of rice in Quanzhou was not the case. Of all the state capitals that Ye passed by, the price of rice in Quanzhou was the lowest, and it has always been very stable. However, the valley hurts the peasants, and you Li Hanren must be careful about this. ”

"Thank you Brother Shaoyun for your kind reminder." Li Sanjian nodded.

Do you still need to be reminded? Li Sanjian secretly said in his heart, his teacher had already reminded him, Li Sanjian thought of his mentor Su Shi, and suddenly showed a sad look on his face.

"Is Li Hanren feeling sorry for Mr. Dongpo? Hey, Li Hanren mourns, Mr. Dongpo's matter, Ye also heard the bad news on the way, Ye also felt sad, Mr. Dongpo's life can be said to be born at an inopportune time. Li Sanjian is Su Shi's disciple, and Ye Mengde already knew about this, so Ye Mengde guessed why Li Sanjian was sad, so he persuaded him.

Although Ye Mengde and Su Shi have never met, Ye Mengde's maternal uncle Chao Buzhi is one of the "Four Bachelors of Sumen", so Ye Mengde is adhering to the origin of Sumen and is deeply influenced by Sumen's articles, and Ye Mengde of course also admires Su Shi and others.

Therefore, Ye Mengde was sincerely sad for Su Shi at this time, not hypocritically. The whole book

"What does it mean to be born at the wrong time?" Li Sanjian didn't agree with Ye Mengde's words, so he said indignantly: "The teacher has been loyal to the country all his life, but he has ended up like this, really... Is... ”

"Okay, Li Hanren, be cautious in your words and deeds!" Ye Mengde patted Li Sanjian and said, "Your Majesty still has something to ask you." ”

"Please Brother Shaoyun continue." Li Sanjian hurriedly bowed down and said when he heard this.

Just now, Li Sanjian's words were already complaining about the court and the emperor, not only complaining about the current emperor, but also complaining about Song Shenzong and Song Zhezong.

Knowing people and knowing faces but not knowing their hearts, if Ye Mengde played this matter, then Li Sanjian would be worried, so Li Sanjian was a little worried at this time.

As Ye Mengde said, prudence in words and deeds is the way to live in the world.

After all, he was still too young, and under the indignation, he said something that he shouldn't have said, and Li Sanjian thought with some chagrin in his heart.

"Sheng Yu, what do you mean by Li Hanren's big trip to Quanzhou 'Dragon Boat Race', 'Tangram Festival' and other things?" Ye Mengde then asked again.

"Back to Your Majesty!" Li Sanjian bowed down and replied: "Wechen did this for the sake of the Quanzhou flood, and also for the sake of my Quanzhou victims. ”

"How so? One of the wasted policies is 'stop making fun', why do you Li Hanren want to do the opposite? Ye Meng asked.

"Here's the thing." Li Sanjian replied lightly: "The Fujian people like to race, so they are happy, so the ministers indulge in the people's boat races, festivals and other things, encourage the people to hold more dragon boat races and other activities, and encourage the people of Shishu to travel and watch, so that a large number of rich businessmen and rich families in Quanzhou will pay for this matter, and the reason is that this move is profitable." If the wealthy merchants and wealthy families in Quanzhou want to do these things, they must hire a large number of people, and at the same time they will buy a large number of supplies related to this, so that my Quanzhou chess game will be alive, and the crisis in Quanzhou will be solved. Brother Shaoyun, after the 'Dragon Boat Race', 'Tangram Festival' and other events, I Quanzhou trade, food, technology, service people, people who rely on public and private food, worry about tens of thousands of people every day! As a result, a large number of people affected by the floods were well resettled, and at least few of them starved to death. ”

Li Sanjian is actually talking about expanding investment and stimulating consumption, and Li Sanjian only talked about it roughly at this time.

"I see!" Ye Mengde groaned.

Generally speaking, if a prefecture encounters such a natural disaster, it will adopt the policy of 'stopping and having fun', so as to do its best to deal with the disaster, provide relief to the people, and so on.

But Li Sanjian did the opposite, and the effect was obvious.

At present, the people of Quanzhou are stable, all industries are revived, and the society is stable, and it has begun to show a thriving prosperity.

"Li Hanren, what do you mean by 'cashing in for work' and making people build roads and bridges? Ye Meng heard that the predecessors also had 'work for relief', but they were repairing Taoist temples, temples, etc., and Ye was puzzled by this. Ye Mengde then asked.

"If you want to get rich, build roads first!" Li Sanjian said with a smile.

"If you want to get rich, build roads first? What is the explanation for this? Ye Mengde still didn't understand what Li Sanjian meant.

"Oh, Brother Shaoyun, Brother Fool intends to be like this... So Li Sanjian carefully told Ye Mengde his thoughts.

"I see!" However, although Ye Mengde said this, he was still skeptical.

It is said that the effect of this kind of thing is not something that can be seen in one day or two days, one month and two months, Li Sanjian can only explain it like this, but he can't make Ye Mengde believe it.

"Li Hanren, I have heard that Quanzhou is picturesque, and the foolish brother plans to walk around, you won't have any objections, right?" Ye Mengde then smiled and said to Li Sanjian.

If you want to understand the truth of the matter, you can't just listen to Li Sanjian's words.

"That's right!" Of course, Li Sanjian understood Ye Mengde's words, so he also smiled and said, "How dare Li have any objections?" ”

"Brother Shaoyun turned out to be a guest, so Li should do the friendship of the landlord." Li Sanjian said that, he pushed a small box in front of Ye Mengde and said with a smile: "This is 'Siya', please accept it with a smile." ”

Ordering tea, burning incense, arranging flowers, and hanging paintings are the "four yas" of the Song literati, also known as the "four arts".

Li Sanjian gave Ye Mengde Fujian famous tea "Beiyuan Tea" under the ear of his concubine Xu Tingting, ambergris produced overseas, and the flowers are ordinary, but they are made of gold, silver, and real pearls. . . The painting is the "Dragon Boat Racing Picture" painted by Li Sanjian himself.

"You... You, you, after Li Hanren became the governor of Quanzhou, his ability has grown a lot, Li Hanren, you are so gracious, but Ye is disrespectful. Ye Meng wanted to resign, but he really liked this "Siya", so after repeatedly refusing to resign, he still accepted Li Sanjian's "Friendship of the Landlord"...
