Chapter 35: A dilemma

The residence of Cui Yongzi, the military governor of Quanzhou, is the official mansion, that is, the official house, which is located in the city of Quanzhou, close to the sea, with beautiful scenery and pleasant environment.

Among them, 廨 refers to the place where officials do official business, and the house is the place where officials live in their daily lives, which is generally referred to as 廨舍.

The Jingshi Mansion is generally rewarded by the emperor, or the official is for construction, or the official is for the lease, which is the main way for the officials of the Jingshi Imperial Court to obtain the mansion.

The main way to obtain the houses of the military officials of Lufu Prefecture is to inherit and repair, build and repair the military offices of Lufu Prefecture, or lease residential houses.

For officials, only officials and their families are allowed to live, and after the officials move their officials or pay tribute to the officials, they must move out of the house to wait for the successor officials to do official business or live.

The official mansion is linked to the official grade, and Cui Yongzi is the general judge of Quanzhou, so of course he is qualified to live in the mansion.

And Li Sanjian is the governor of a state, and he has the right to know the affairs of Quanzhou military state, so of course he is more qualified to get a house, and Li Sanjian can even choose any official residence in Quanzhou, the reason is that Li Sanjian has obtained the will of Emperor Song and can choose any house within the scope of Quanzhou, even if there are officials living in it, Li Sanjian can drive them out and forcibly occupy them.

However, Li Sanjian would not do such a deceptive thing.

In the official mansion, the miscellaneous flowers and fruit trees, with strange stones, plant lotus roots in the pond, migrate bamboo into a cluster, the scenery is relatively elegant, beautiful.

At the same time, the house is dominated by pavilions and halls, and is decorated with trees, flowers, pavilions, and strange stones.

"Open a bamboo path to the door, and plant plum blossoms near the water." Li Sanjian stood in front of Cui Yongzi's residence, read a couplet on the door, and then smiled at Xu Biao: "He's still quite idle." ”

But above all the gates, there is a couplet. What kind of couplet should you hang in your future home? Li Sanjian said secretly in his heart.

Therefore, Li Sanjian's mother Fu Erniang and his wife and concubines Cai Rongxue, Wang Wen and others were still on the road and had not yet arrived in Quanzhou, so Li Sanjian had not yet chosen his and his family's residence, but only lived in the state government temporarily.

At present, Li Sanjian has two criteria for choosing his own residence, one is to be elegant and clean, and the other is to be able to live.

Li Sanjian's small house in Kaifeng Mansion is too crowded, and at this time he is the honor of Quanzhou, so of course he wants to choose a larger residence to facilitate his family and his future family to live. . . .

It is said that Li Sanjian has not yet reached the point where he is harsh on himself and his family for the sake of his own name.

Why do you suddenly think of your future family? Li Sanjian couldn't help but secretly feel funny when he thought of this.

Is it possible that you still have to take a concubine? Li Sanjian secretly laughed at himself, but even so, Li Sanjian's eyes suddenly appeared in front of Li Sanjian's eyes, the beautiful figure of the She girl Yaoyao and Yaoyao's that night...

"I said too, San Lang, you work all day long, but this old biter is idle, I don't know what to do in the house with pi eyes... Xu Biao said angrily.

"Bang!" Li Sanjian punched Xu Biao and scolded with a smile: "Rammer, don't be rude, go and call the door." ”

"Just call it, see if I don't break the door." Xu Biao muttered angrily: "He thinks he is Zhuge Liang?" It also made us run three times... ”

Li Sanjian's conversation with Yang Zheng, the magistrate of Nan'an County, brought two problems to Li Sanjian.

The first problem is the problem of hoarding goods in Quanzhou.

Whenever something happens, wealthy merchants or wealthy families will hoard grain, oil, salt, and other daily necessities, and then sell them after the price has skyrocketed, in order to make a huge profit.

For this kind of thing, Li Sanjian, as the governor of Quanzhou, must be cautious and handle it carefully, and he must not do anything by force, nor can he confiscate their homes and jail them because of this matter.

"Killing the rich and helping the poor" is something that thieves do, not the government, and at the same time, these rich merchants or rich families have inextricable pity for the imperial court or the Quanzhou government, and even some of them themselves are court officials or Quanzhou officials, and they are involved in the whole body, so they cannot be violent and reckless.

In the final analysis, Li Sanjian intends to outwit, not suppress by force.

The second problem is the breach of the levee and the discharge of the flood.

At present, Quanzhou has been raining heavily for several days, the river water is surging, and the embankments in many places are already in danger, so it is necessary to dig a certain embankment and release water to discharge the flood, so as to alleviate the flood in Quanzhou, and will also save many people from the harm of flooding.

And Yang Zheng mentioned to Li Sanjian that there are two flood discharge places, one is located in Nan'an County, and the other is located in ** County.

Both of these floods are feasible, but the crux of the matter is that the fields around the flood discharge dikes in Nan'an County belong to many poor households, and flooding these fields will make them have no food and clothing, and their lives will be even more difficult.

However, the fields near the flood discharge in the county belong to some wealthy households, and even some of them are the fields of Quanzhou officials, and even the fields of Fuzhou road-level yamen officials.

As a result, Li Sanjian was given a great problem, either flooding the fields of poor households or flooding the fields of officials.

The flooding of the fields of countless poor households will displace the poor households, make life more difficult, and the poor belongings or land of the family will also be lost, and even cause civil unrest, so this is Li Sanjian's difficult choice.

Then the rest is to dig an embankment in ** county, but if this is the case, the flooded fields belong to the rich households, and Li Sanjian is a big deal to apologize and compensate in the name of the government. And some of the flooded fields belong to the Fuzhou road-level yamen, which will inevitably bring endless trouble to Li Sanjian. E-book house

Lufu Prefecture Army, the officials of Lu are Li Sanjian's top bosses, Li Sanjian just took office and burst the embankment and flooded their fields, how can they give up with Li Sanjian?

No matter what he chooses, Li Sanjian is extremely difficult.

Li Sanjian had a headache about this, so he wanted to discuss the matter with Cui Tong.

At the same time, Li Sanjian also wanted to explain the fact that he forced Cui Tong to open the regular position a few days ago, and ease the relationship with him by the way.

But Li Sanjian didn't expect that he went to Cui Tongju's residence twice in two days to visit him, and actually ate two closed-door soups.

Today is Li Sanjian's third trip to Cui's Mansion, and Li Sanjian himself has returned, but Xu Biao is indignant in his heart.

"Do you still know Zhuge Liang? Nonsense, go call the door, I'll go over there and have a look. Li Sanjian said to Xu Biao with a smile and a smile.

Liu Bei looked at the thatched house three times, and finally invited Zhuge Liang to come out of the mountain, and stood with Wei and Wu Ding, and divided the world into three parts, which is a well-known thing.

But who is Liu Bei? is the person who is called the emperor, the emperor of Shu Han, at this time Xu Biao compared Li Sanjian to Liu Bei, isn't there a suspicion of rebellion? If someone with ulterior motives brings this matter to the court, maybe Li Sanjian will bring great trouble.

Therefore, Li Sanjian hurriedly stopped Xu Biao.

But fortunately, Li Sanjian and Xu Biao stopped here and now, and there was no one else.

In this world, everything must be cautious, careful in words and deeds, otherwise we don't know when a catastrophe will come.

Such precedents abound, such as Li Sanjian's mentor Su Shi, who was impeached by Shen Kuo, Li Ding, He Zhengchen, Shu Yan and others one after another because of a poem, and thus fell into embarrassment, this is the "Wutai Poetry Case".

When you come to visit, you can't go empty-handed, right? Therefore, Li Sanjian planned to let Xu Biao go to the door first and buy some gifts on the street by himself.

Xu Biao was holding his breath in his heart, so like a drum, he knocked on the door of Cui Yongzi's house with a loud sound, and the sound was like thunder, which attracted the attention of many pedestrians.

"Black man, why are you here again?" Xu Biao almost knocked down the door of Cui's house, so an old porter finally opened the door of the house, walked out and scolded Xu Biao: "Hurry up, hurry up, my master is not here, phew, it's so bad luck early in the morning, bumping into you reckless god!" ”

"What? What are you talking about? Xu Biao was even more furious when he heard this, and he grabbed the old porter and scolded angrily: "Old biter, what did you say?" Hurry up and open the bird door, and pull your old reptile out to meet my Saburo. If you teach him to come out, the Buddha's eyes look at him, and if he still refuses to come out, put a bird fire and burn all your belongings to the ground! ”

"Ouch, the black bird has beaten someone! Come on! ”

Xu Biao is strong, like a black tower, grabbing the old porter, like holding a child, the old porter struggles desperately, but he can't break free.

Under the shouting of the old gatekeeper, several domestic servants rushed out from Cui's house, but when they saw Xu Biao, who was like a mountain god, they didn't dare to step forward to compete with Xu Biao, but just stood not far away and scolded loudly.

"Straight lady thief, I am angry in my heart, I don't recognize you today with my big neck fist." Xu Biao was angry when he was scolded, so he raised his fist and smashed it towards the old porter.

"Stop!" At this time, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy rushed out from Cui's house, pointed at Xu Biao and shouted: "You black killer, relying on whose momentum, go straight to my house to kill, let him go quickly, otherwise you will be beaten into black mud." ”

The young man's scolding made Xu Biao furious, and he threw down the old concierge and pounced on the young man.

"The milk on the mouth has not subsided, and the little monkey with the hair on the head is still there, take a break and leave!" Xu Biao shouted as he pounced.

"Good time!" The young man shouted and greeted Xu Biao.

However, Xu Biao is powerful and is from a fighting man, so the young man does not dare to fight with him.

Xu Biao stretched his arms and pounced fiercely, but the young man was extremely flexible, passing under Xu Biao's left ribs, and at the same time stretching out his legs to mix Xu Biao.

"Ouch!" Both let out an exclamation at the same time.

Xu Biao was stirred, his footing was unstable, and he crashed into the wall, but the young man was hit by Xu Biao's iron leg and felt like he was broken.

"What a little monkey!" Xu Biao praised it, stabilized his figure, turned around and pounced on the young man again.

"Good time!" The young man shouted, and greeted Xu Biao again, dodged Xu Biao's pounce, stretched out his right hand to put his arm under Xu Biao's crotch, and pressed his shoulder against Xu Biao's back, wanting to fall over the top.

It's just that because Xu Biao is too heavy, and the young man is young after all, only half of the overhead fall was used, and the two fell heavily to the ground and rolled into a ball.

"Huchen, stop!" At this moment, Cui Yongzi walked out of the house and shouted at the young man.

"Daddy... Ouch, you reckless man, let me go. Cui Huchen, the son of Cui Yongzi, cried out in pain.
