On a certain day in late June of the first year of Song Jianzhong's reign, Quanzhou Prefecture.

Quanzhou Prefecture Ya or Fu Ya, located in the north of the inner city, the center of Quanzhou City slightly on the upper left.

Although the Yamen of Song Zhizhou County is different in size and has different internal structures, the various departments of the Yamen are almost the same.

Passing through the gate of Quanzhou Prefecture, the instrument gate, the first thing that catches your eye is a majestic building with five bays and nine ridges, this is the main hall of Quanzhou Prefecture, the official place of Quanzhou Zhizhou, and now it is the official place of Li Sanjian, the new Quanzhou Zhizhou, which is called "setting up a hall".

Quanzhou is not a big hall, but it can accommodate more than 100 people.

To the west of the hall, there is a slightly smaller hall, which is the hall of Quanzhou. The hall is the place where Zhizhou and his assistant handle political affairs together, and it is currently the place where Zhizhou Li Sanjian and Zuo Erquanzhou Tongju jointly handle county affairs.

In addition to Li Sanjian and Cui Yongzi handling county affairs, there are also many adjutants in the county administration, and these adjutants are called "shogunate officials".

The staff officials are the staff or subordinates of the governor and the general judge, including the judge, the pusher, the secretary of the festival, the observation envoy, etc., in addition to the record to join the army, the manager to join the army, the judicial to join the army, the secretary to join the army and other officials.

There is another feature of the Song Dynasty Yamen or a must-have thing for all prefectures, prefectures, and counties, that is, the "Ring Stone Inscription".

"Ring Stone Inscription" is a stone stele, standing in front of the yamen hall of each prefecture, prefecture, military and county, and was erected by the edict of Emperor Zhao Guangyi of Song Taizong.

The south side of the ring stone is engraved with three big characters of "Gongshengming", which means that only justice can be discerning, and can be honest and honest, which is intended to remind and admonish officials.

The north of the ring stone is engraved with "Erfeng Erlu, the people's fat and the people's ointment; The people are easy to abuse, and the heavens are difficult to deceive" 16 big characters, which means that the officials' money is the people's fat and the people's ointment, and it is the money paid by the people.

"Ring Stone Inscription" is all over the prefectures and counties of the Song Dynasty, and is a famous aphorism and officialdom rule.

Quanzhou Prefecture is no exception, there are also "ring stone inscriptions", "ring stone inscriptions" also have "Erfeng Erlu, people fat and people ointment; The people are easy to abuse, and the heavens are difficult to deceive" 16 big characters, written by Emperor Zhao Xu of the Song Dynasty.

"Tom... Tong... Tong... ”

On this day, in the Quanzhou Prefecture Ya, several big drums sounded at the same time, and in the deafening drum sound, more than 200 Quanzhou Prefecture officials lined up in several columns according to the size of their official positions, and entered the Quanzhou Prefecture Ya.

The color of the official clothing of Song officials, after the restructuring of Yuanfeng, is mainly divided into purple, crimson and green, of which the fourth grade or more wears purple clothing, the sixth product or more wears a scarlet uniform, and the ninth product or more wears green clothing.

Song officials wore purple, scarlet, and green official robes, while Xu officials could only wear soap clothes and white robes, almost no different from ordinary people.

"Let's meet Li Fuzun and meet Cui Tongju!"

At this time, in the state government office, hundreds of state officials visited Li Sanjian and Cui Yongzidao.

The officials under Song Liupin wore green official robes, and the officials wore soapy white robes, so there was a sea of green, white, and black in the hall, except for Li Sanjian and Cui Yongzi, who were wearing scarlet mansions.

Li Sanjian was wearing a crimson curvy collar and large-sleeved robe, with a horizontal jacket under it, a leather belt around his waist, a stiff wing on his head, and a pair of rhinoceros leather shoes on his feet.

There is a foot of extra long hat wings on the left and right sides of the head of the hard wings, and the head will keep swaying when the head moves slightly, and it is impossible to stand within a foot, otherwise it will be the hat wing thorns and fall to the ground. . .

Quanzhou Tong sentenced Cui Yongzi to sit slightly above Li Sanjian's left head, and there was also a five-foot Nanmu big book case in front of him.

A state clerk stood behind the two of them on the right side, and there was also a bookcase in front of him, but the bookcase was only two feet long and wide.

The scribe can only sit down and write when he needs to record, otherwise according to the Song system, he must stand in the hall, and he has to stand for as long as the officials are deliberating.

Li Sanjian, who was sitting under the lobby, glanced at Cui Yongzi, and Cui Yongzhen nodded.

"Gentlemen, no courtesy!" Li Sanjian then waved his hand and said: "The official's surname is Li Sanjian, I think you already know, what the official wants to say today is that I, Li Sanjian, have finally met with you." ”

Li Sanjian said that, he smiled first.

"Hahahaha!"

"Li Fuzun is really funny!"

"Li Fuzun's words, I am waiting like a spring breeze!"

Li Sanjian's witty opening remarks immediately caused the officials of the state government to laugh, and at the same time, they rushed towards Li Sanjian like a flood of words, sweeping away the tense atmosphere just now.

Today is the first time that Li Sanjian has presided over the county government of Quanzhou, and everyone originally thought that Li Sanjian would come to a "killing stick" or something first, and then deter everyone first. 61

In the past, Zhizhou was basically like this, first with a tiger face, and then picking and picking faults, and then a good reprimand, as if he couldn't show his ability without reprimanding two sentences, as if no one knew his official position if he didn't show some official authority.

Li Sanjian saw that everyone had laughed enough, so he waved his hand and continued: "My Quanzhou is located in a puppet, a remote place, the conditions are extremely difficult, it is extremely difficult, you can come here as officials, it is really difficult for you, this official is here for Your Majesty, for the court, thank you for your hard work!" ”

Li Sanjian said, stood up, arched his hand, and gave a salute.

"Li Fuzun, torture your subordinates!"

"This is what we should do!"

Seeing this, the officials of the state government hurriedly returned the salute together.

"I, Li Sanjian, as an official of the imperial court, how can I not know the difficulties of being an official?" After Li Sanjian sat down, he continued: "Especially the officials, life is really hard, so the official has decided to add money to the monarchs from next month, as for the amount, it depends on the personal deeds. ”

If you want to govern the county government, you must first govern the people, and the key to governing the people lies in the officials, not to mention sweeping away the dirty and filthy wind of Quanzhou officialdom, at least the wind of Quanzhou officialdom is correct, this is Li Sanjian's plan, and adding money is only the first step.

"This..."

"Li Fuzun!"

"At present, everything in Quanzhou costs money, but Li Fu respects you...

"Li Fuzun, Xiaguan... Thank you... Woo woo woo ... ”

The officials of the state government, especially the officials, were so moved that they didn't know what to say, and they were so moved that they burst into tears, and some of them almost shouted "Long live...

The salaries of the officials are very low, and some of them are not even able to make ends meet, unable to feed their families, which has caused a lot of personal fraud, but this is only one of the reasons.

Therefore, Li Sanjian's first step is to implement the "gao salary and honesty".

If the high salary still can't support the incorruptible, then Li Sanjian plans to use the national law, Song law, and prison to "raise" them well...

Cui Yongzi couldn't help but shake his head when he saw this.

Cui Yongzi talked with Li Sanjian for two days and one night, and he still knew some of Li Sanjian's thoughts and plans.

This is Li Sanjian's "sweet first and then bitter" policy.

At the same time, Li Sanjian won the hearts of the officials of the state government in a few words, which made Cui Yongzi secretly surprised in his heart.

Where does this look like a fledgling kid? is obviously a veteran of officialdom for a long time, Cui Yongzi said secretly in his heart.

"Okay, let's not talk nonsense, let's get down to business." Li Sanjian then looked at the officials of the state government and said: "We are all people of the imperial court, we eat the king's fortune, and we should be loyal to the king, and we should be blessed by the saint and inherit the grace of the country, and we should relieve your majesty's worries." At present, the floods in Quanzhou are raging, and Your Majesty must have known about it at this time, so we should relieve Your Majesty's worries, control the floods, and appease the people. ”

Li Sanjian paused for a moment and then said: "This official has reported the flood in Quanzhou to Fuzhou, and will soon play the imperial court, hoping that the imperial court can support my Quanzhou." However, ladies and gentlemen, the imperial court is thousands of miles away from Quanzhou, the so-called far water can not quench the thirst of the near, and Fujian Road in addition to Quanzhou, is also suffering from flooding, so it is better to ask for others than to ask for yourself, this official decided that I Quanzhou immediately implement the 'desert government', scattering profits, thin levies, probation, galloping, forbidden, going to a few, courtesy, killing mourning, music, multiple marriages, and suo... The government of Suo Ghost God and other political affairs should be implemented immediately. ”

Scattered profits, thin levies, suspended sentences, galloping, forbidden, going to a few, courtesy, killing and mourning, music, multiple marriages and other political affairs are also repaid, but Li Sanjian disagrees with the matter of ghosts and gods.

However, almost everyone in this world also believes in ghosts and gods, and Li Sanjian is helpless.

At the same time, although Li Sanjian used to be an atheist, since a miraculous thing happened to Li Sanjian, Li Sanjian is half-convinced, and he is not sure if there are ghosts and gods in this world...

"We respect the life of Li Fuzun!"

Li Sanjian's words suddenly made all the officials of the state government awe-inspired, and they all responded loudly.

"Li Fuzun is sympathetic to the people, and the arrangements are appropriate, and the officials are obedient!" At this time, Zhou Fangmei, the state magistrate, bowed his hand and asked: "It's just that, Li Fuzun, I don't have much money and grain left in Quanzhou, and according to the officials, the people affected by the disaster in Quanzhou have reached 100,000, and the remaining money and grain in Quanzhou can be described as a drop in the bucket. The lower official asked Li Fuzun to make it clear, how can he 'scatter profits'? ”

The judge and the magistrate are the governor or the prefect, and the judge is the chief of the shogunate.

Another test school came out of himself, Li Sanjian said secretly in his heart.

Li Sanjian then glanced at Zhou Fangwei and said slowly: "Today, the official and the Ming people don't say secret words, so I will tell you the truth, I Quanzhou and Quanzhou City's surplus money, grain and other things will not last for ten days, and they will be exhausted after ten days." ”

Li Sanjian then glanced at the officials who were a little flustered and said: "Don't be alarmed, money, food and other things, the official has only a way, you just need to implement the 'waste government' to the letter, if there is chaos, you will not blame the official for being ruthless." ”

What can you do? When the officials of the state government heard this, they all secretly said in their hearts, could it be that your family has a lot of money, and you can take it out to supplement it? Or can you Li Zhizhou be able to turn money and things out?
