"Okay Jia Aiqing, the mourning family specially summoned you here today, just to ask, what kind of situation is the situation at the moment regarding the framing of Kublai Khan?" Jia Rudao said: "Back to the Queen Mother, Weichen has been arranged, and things are already going on in an orderly manner, I believe that this time he Kublai Khan will definitely suffer more serious losses."

"Besides, I in the Southern Song Dynasty can only use this opportunity to take revenge on them, Queen Mother, if there is civil strife in this Yuan Dynasty again, wouldn't we be in a good mood? At the same time, wouldn't the opportunity to get it be sent directly?"

"It's just that this time it's all up to these soldiers, if they fail and are caught, then the Great Song Dynasty will lose any opportunity, and even, it will be easy to be destroyed in an instant."

Empress Dowager Xie naturally knows this, so this is one of the situations she is most worried about, and everything else can be understood.

"By the way, the Queen Mother, Weichen wants to know, how is the tunnel dug in the palace? Is it out of the palace? In time, even if Kublai Khan called, it would be helpless. ”

Empress Dowager Xie smiled slightly, "In the past two days, the mourning family has already inquired, and through the efforts of the soldiers, it has been about three thousand meters away, out of the palace, but not out of Lin'an City, so it is not enough."

Jia Rudao said: "So the Queen Mother, the tunnel has to be excavated at an accelerated pace, and we can't be lazy, you must know that this is my last chance to wait for the Southern Song Dynasty, if he and Kublai Khan call, we can still escape from this place."

"No matter where we go, we always have a chance to succeed, don't you say?"

Empress Dowager Xie sighed, she slapped her palms, and a soldier came over with a few large boxes, all of which were filled with silver.

"Jia Aiqing, this is the expenditure of the military camp next month, there is silver and silver tickets, you order a few subordinates to bring it back, I rely on the soldiers in the Southern Song Dynasty now, and I can't treat them badly."

At this moment, Jia Rudao was a little unbearable, and opened his mouth at this moment, "Queen Mother, the treasury is estimated to not have much silver, you do this... Wechen is really worried about the emptiness of the treasury. Empress Dowager Xie shook her head: "Take it Jia Aiqing, the treasury has no money, can't it still be looted from the common people?" Besides, they should pay taxes, too. ”

Jia Rudao suddenly remembered that Lin'an City had not collected taxes for a long time, so why didn't he go to collect it?

"Queen Mother, Weichen wants to know, how much tax is there in the Southern Song Dynasty a year? If it really doesn't work, I'll want to add a little more, after all, it's already this time. Empress Dowager Xie squinted her eyes and thought about it, "As for how much tax revenue, there must be seventy or eighty million taels, but judging from the current manpower of the imperial court, it is estimated that it will not be able to support it, so Jia Aiqing, it is imperative to increase taxes." ”

Jia Rudao nodded, and ordered his subordinates to give silver to the soldiers, two taels a month per person, and now he doesn't dare to fool, otherwise they will all leave, who will defend the Southern Song Dynasty?

As soon as the silver was issued, there was not much left in the barracks, so Jia Yidao simply came to pay attention and called Vice General Miao over.

"Jia Ye, what do you command?"

"The order is indeed there, Deputy Miao will immediately arrange for you to go to the shop on the street to collect taxes, and the entire Lin'an is not allowed to let go, as long as it is a store, it must be ten taels a month, and when you meet a cricket shop, there are also teahouses and restaurants, which are charged at ten times the price.

"Ten times the price? Jia Ye, isn't it too much? I'm afraid that these people will be dissatisfied, and if it is known, wouldn't it..."

"What are you afraid of? With Jia Ye's support, what can the people do? It is necessary to collect taxes, and if anyone dares not to collect taxes, they will be arrested and severely punished.

Jia Rudao still doesn't believe it, and now the Southern Song Dynasty is almost gone, shouldn't it? Vice General Miao responded.

"By the way, Deputy General Miao, after you tell the matter, then bring a hundred people over, and then, pay Jia Ye and I will go to this Lin'an official historian, as long as it is not the official history of the Dedian Palace."

"It's Jia Ye." Vice General Miao ran out, and soon appeared outside the house with a hundred people, Jia Rudao led the people out, and the barracks were guarded by 10,000 people. They walked on the streets, and soon came to the Lin'an Mansion, although this place is the place where the imperial palace is located, but the prefect also exists, and there are hundreds of large and small official histories. Soon they came to the gate of the prefect's house, and there were officials guarding them, but they did not stop them, and they were very honest.

Inside the yamen, there was a noise, the sound was very loud and very harsh, it was the sound of fighting crickets, and before he got closer, Jia Yidao had already felt it.

"These people are really bold, Jia Ye and I have worked hard these days to deal with national affairs, but they are eating, drinking, and having fun here, and they have to fight crickets, they don't want to live, right?"

"Vice General Miao, stop these people for me, remember that no one can leave, and I will severely punish them today."

"It's Jia Ye."

Entering the house, accompanied by the appearance of Jia Yidao and others, at this moment, these adults noticed it and looked at it one after another.

The prefect Zhou Longyuan looked at it with his eyes, he didn't know Jia Rudao, and he also snorted at this moment, "This is the lord of the yamen?" In this Lin'an City, except for the adults who choose the Hall of Virtue, there is no one who does not know the official. ”

Jia Yidao just looked at them like this, there was fire in his mind, and he was red.

Zhou Longyuan continued, "This adult, why don't you speak? Now that we've come to my lord, how about I wait to play with crickets? Besides, they are all officials in the same dynasty, which can be regarded as a fate. ”

Jia Rudao looked at the group of people lightly, chuckled silently, and then quickly opened his mouth.

"I said, my lords, you are really good, very, very good, when is the Great Song Dynasty now, don't you know if you wait? Haven't heard of it yet? I'm really disappointed in you.

An adult jumped out and was furious, "This adult, I don't know what you mean?" I'll wait for the official history, play a few games here, what's wrong with fighting crickets? Could it be that in your mouth, fighting crickets is also illegal?"

"It's just my lord, you're really unreasonable, I'm just playing a few games, why do you have to stare at me? Could it be that in the whole of Lin'an, we are the corrupt officials?"

Jia seemed to be not angry, but laughed arrogantly, "When did this official say that you are all corrupt officials?" Did the officer say anything after he came in from outside the house?"

They were silent, but for some reason, they actually had a little timidity in their hearts, and they were very angry.

Governor Zhou Longyuan jumped out, very dissatisfied, "This lord, since this is the case, then what are you doing here?" And with so many people? I said, "My lord, that's your fault." ”

Jia Rudao didn't hide it anymore, and simply told the truth, "This official came today, in fact, just to copy the prefect's house, hehe, I didn't expect that there would be so many adults, and I really made a fortune today."

"Everyone, since the officials have already come, did you take the initiative to hand over all the money in the house? Or let the officials search one by one? I think it's always good to be honest. ”

They were furious, which of these unknown things had come? Isn't this looking for death? I dare to raid my own home, I don't want to live.

"Your Excellency, you are so arrogant, I want to know, who are you? Why are you so presumptuous?"

"That's it, you are an official history, we are also an official history, I am waiting for the fourth grade, maybe it is higher than you, I said you should admit your mistake and get out."

In the entire yamen, no one took Jia Yidao seriously, they always thought that they had a big official position and many people at the same time.

"Vice General Miao, since these adults don't know Jia Ye and me, so it's very good, how about you introduce them to you?"

"It's Jia Ye." Vice General Miao immediately opened his mouth, "Bold you group of sesame officials, this is my current Prime Minister Jia of the Southern Song Dynasty, why don't you kneel down and salute?"

Everyone's pupils began to shrink, and they were extremely timid, Jia Rudao? This person is actually Jia Yidao? At the moment, they can't figure it out, why is that?

They never thought that Jia Yidao would actually come here, they really didn't dare to be disrespectful. They all knelt on the ground, feeling very sorry for the rudeness just now, for fear that they would fall behind.

"Prime Minister Jia, I'll wait.... I don't know if it's your old man here, I'm really ashamed at this moment, Prime Minister Jia, I don't know why Prime Minister Jia came?"

Jia Rudao sneered, "So what's the matter, didn't I already say it just now, Jia Ye?" I just want to confiscate the prefect's family property, but I didn't expect you to wait for the adults to be there, it's really better to be in a hurry. ”

They were even more timid, thinking that they had something to do, something big, but what should I do if the prime minister came?

The prefect Zhou Longyuan almost became a tearful man, he was more afraid than anyone else, but he organized this matter, in case Jia Rudao was investigated, he would be the first to suffer.

"Jia Ye, I know it's wrong, Jia Ye, or your old man will give us a chance and let me wait, okay? We etc.. In fact, we came mainly to discuss national affairs, and just now I couldn't help it, and I just made a few small bets.

"Yes, yes, Jia Ye, what the prefect said is right, I'm really just like this, I don't dare to come nonsense, Jia Ye."

Jia Yidao looked at them so angrily, they were almost angry, they were so blatantly deceiving themselves, they didn't want to live.

"My lords, so you still have merit? Okay, Jia Ye, I want to know, you are busy discussing state affairs, what is the result of the discussion at this moment?"

Everyone was divided, unable to say anything, and their faces were extremely pale.

An adult forcibly spoke, "Prime Minister Jia, we just got together, and there is no result, if the Prime Minister comes a little late, maybe there will already be a clue."

Jia seems to be smiling and not smiling, so boldly fooling himself, he is really angry at the moment.

The crickets on the table were still there, Jia Rudao turned the table over and fell to the ground, and all the crickets on it were smashed to death, and there was nothing left.

Everyone watched with palpitations, but they didn't dare to stop it, and they didn't dare to have opinions.

Jia Rudao simply gave Zhou Longyuan a big mouth and slapped him to the ground, very angry.

The latter's eyes were bloodshot, and he dared not speak angrily, but he was already extremely timid in his heart. Jia Rudao was still insulting, "You guys are so bold, do you want to wait for yourself to tell the truth, or do you want Jia Ye and I to kill you here?"

"Discuss national affairs, so why do you bring crickets? Don't you want to get mixed up? What a guts.

Everyone knelt on the ground and didn't dare to get up, their heads bowed, not knowing what kind of fate they would get today.

Jia Rudao was still scolding angrily, "Lord Prefect, you are really bold, as the prefect, not only did you not fulfill any responsibility, but also gathered people to gamble, do you take the Great Song Dynasty Law in your eyes?"

Zhou Longyuan was still kneeling on the ground, and then he simply crawled on the ground, and the timidity in his heart was greater than anyone else.

"Jia Ye, Jia Ye, I know it's wrong, Jia Ye, can you let me go if you have a lot?"

The officials begged for mercy one after another, and their attitudes were very sincere, as if they were kneeling down to their parents.

Jia Rudao's attitude was resolute, he planned not to let go of any of them, but Empress Dowager Xie had already spoken, how could he refuse?

"Lord Prefect, my lords, you are really bold, you wait for this, Lao Tzu and I are very angry, tell me, how much money is gambling today?"

"Also, how much silver do you still have with you? Hurry up and take it out with a lot.

They didn't dare to refuse, the silver and silver tickets were placed on the ground, and Vice General Miao counted them, "Lord Hui, there are more than three thousand taels of silver." ”

"Three thousand taels? It's a good three thousand taels, this silver, the official wants to know where it came from, Lord Prefect, how long have you not paid taxes to the imperial court?"

"Ahhh Jia Ye, little me...."

"What's wrong with you? As a prefect, are you just sitting at the gate of the yamen all day long fighting crickets with the official historians? Hehe, you're so daring.

The latter was even more timid, and his heart was so timid that he wished he had killed himself.

"Vice General Miao, confiscate all the silver and send it to the barracks, and add a little food to the soldiers.

"It's Jia Ye, my subordinates know."

Jia Yidao continued: "Hey a few adults, Jia Ye I have already given you enough time, don't you want to explain anything about today's matter?"

Everyone still didn't dare to speak, most of them thought in their hearts that they were a complete calf, Jia seemed to be ruthless, they all knew it, but why did they come here today?" Jia Ye, I regret it, I really regret it, Jia Ye, you have a lot of adults, can you let us go? I'm waiting.... We are willing to discuss national affairs now. ”

Jia Yidao snorted violently, "Now discuss national affairs? It's late, Jia Ye won't believe you, Deputy General Miao, arrange for someone to send these adults home, and then confiscate the family property. ”

"It's Jia Ye."

These people almost collapsed on the ground, very, very timid, they knew that it was over, it was all over, and all the money they had made over the years would be wiped out overnight.

At the same time, Jia Rudao also beat this Zhou Longyuan with a hundred big triggers, and then left.

After walking a group of soldiers, Jia Rudao continued to walk in other yamen, all of them were drinking and bragging, or gambling.

In the whole morning, he has caught many, many corrupt officials. All of these people had their property confiscated, and none of them could be spared.
