Chapter 226: I'm going to be an official
Everyone was silent, they ignored the question, and only then did it occur to them that there was such a thing to be said.
These merchants all understood, and they left one after another at this moment, and they didn't want to ask for any explanation for themselves, and Da Song Jian was the best way to say.
Jia Rudao was very satisfied with such a scene, and turned around and said: "Vice General Miao, immediately go to the Lin'an Palace to write an excerpt, and say that Jia Ye hopes that Emperor Song Duzong will come to my Xiangyang to inspect, so that he can know about Jia Ye and my achievements here."
"It's Jia Ye, my subordinates know about it, and they will do it immediately."
"Hmm." Jia Rudao turned around and walked into the barracks, he looked at the crickets on the table, picked it up and kissed it with great satisfaction, "Jia Ye, my victorious general, you really earn money for Jia Ye, with you, how much silver do I have to earn a month?" Hehe, it's not a loss to Jia Ye's people.
"Let's go, Changsheng General Jia Ye, I'll take you to the casino to play, and strive to win some silver flowers, Deputy General Miao, take someone to go with Jia Ye."
"Okay Jia Ye." As soon as he beckoned, many people had already run over and walked out behind Jia Rudao.
When night falls, the city of Xiangyang at night is very beautiful, and there are many red lanterns everywhere, as if something good is happening.
Everyone walked on the street and soon came to a cricket casino, and before they could enter, they heard the sound of commotion inside, which was very loud, and it could be seen that many people were fighting crickets inside.
This matter is no longer an ulterior secret in the Great Song Dynasty, from the emperor to the officials below, they are all playing, which is very amazing.
Jia Rudao glanced at it casually and said: "Vice General Miao, these cricket bosses have to earn a lot of silver a month, it seems that they will have to double the tax collection next month, otherwise, they will not be richer than Jia Ye and me!"
"It's Jia Ye." Vice General Miao understood, and after looking inside, he said: "Since this is the case, do you want your subordinates to collect taxes now?"
"There's no need for this, anyway, from next month, it will be doubled, only double the cricket shop, as long as they dare not give it, the store will be sealed, and then the person will be arrested by Jia Ye."
"It's Jia Ye."
Everyone walked in the cricket hall, and with the appearance of Jia Yidao and others, it was quiet for a while, and then everyone knelt on the ground.
"Lord Jia's visit to the small shop is really full of brilliance, Lord Jia, please come inside, come here, quickly give Lord Jia a seat."
Jia Rudao chuckled and said, "You all get up, Master Jia, I'm just here to play with crickets, it's not a big deal."
Everyone got up, and Jia Rudao led people to the main seat of a table, and then said: "This official's experience in fighting crickets has been in place since he was ten years old, and he has been doing it for decades, and his love for crickets is close to the point of madness."
"Today, you can play with the official, I won't wait for a big game, how about five taels of silver in a game?"
Everyone has no opinion, and besides, they don't dare to have an opinion, Jia Rudao is an existence they can't afford to offend.
"You, take out your crickets, we only need to win or lose in one game, if you lose, you will give money, and if the official loses, you will also give money, and no one is allowed to cheat."
The man trembled, he dared to fart, although Jia Rudao said that in their eyes, he was a clean official, but he was also a local official.
So, he grabbed the cricket and put it on the table, and then gathered together with Jia Nidao, and soon the victory was divided, and Jia Nidao won.
He took out the silver, he didn't dare to refuse at all, and after putting it on the table, he left in a gray manner.
After winning a game, Jia Rudao continued to look at others, "Now it's your turn, it's still the same as just now, if you win, the official will give you five taels of silver, and if you lose, you will give the official five taels of silver." ”
The man looked frightened, took out the crickets and put them on the table, and did not dare to slack off in the rules.
Jia Rudao smiled gloomily, and whispered in his mouth, "Go General Chang Sheng, defeat this person for me, and then when you go back, Jia Ye will prepare food for you." ”
The two crickets were intertwined, and immediately began to bite, and soon divided the victory and defeat, and then the person respectfully took out the silver and handed it to Vice General Miao.
"Master Jia, the little one has no money, can the little one leave at this moment?"
"Let's go, the official won't keep you, and I'll go to the next one."
They were like prisoners waiting to be beheaded, and they didn't dare to refuse at all, and some even released five taels of silver and left.
Seeing this scene, the shopkeeper was worried, and he didn't dare to ask for an explanation for himself, and the official was crushed to death.
Two ..... in one game
Three rounds four ....
Soon played several times, every time Jia Yidao won a big victory, and some people even deliberately killed their crickets in order to survive, so be very careful.
"Lord Jia, you see, once the grass people's crickets die, they can't be compared, this game is a small loss, this is silver, you can take it."
"Lord Jia's grass people's crickets were accidentally shot to death by me just now, this game can be regarded as a small loss, Jia Ye took the silver, and the small ones took their leave."
An hour later, there was no one in the cricket shop, and the cricket shop, which was supposed to play until midnight, was now closed.
The shopkeeper's face was helpless, and he sighed sadly on the side.
Jia Rudao gave a look, and Vice General Miao immediately comprehended and walked over.
"Shopkeeper, since the cricket shop is a gambling behavior, the military camp will increase taxes from next month, I hope you know."
"Ahh Master Jun, this store is only a small business, and I can't afford it at all, Master Jun, you have to think about it for our poor people. ”
"Think about it for you? So who will think about the barracks? Hundreds of thousands of people shed their blood to protect the Great Song Dynasty, how do you think we should let you go?"
He stopped talking, his face depressed.
Jia Nidao led everyone to walk out, earning hundreds of taels of silver overnight, Jia Rudao doesn't care at all at the moment, the military camp has money.
"Deputy General Miao, take this silver and reward it to your subordinates, and there are countless pieces of silver given by Song Duzong in the barracks, how can I look at such a little bit of Jia Ye?"
"Ahh Thank you Jia Ye, thank you Jia Ye. ”
"Okay, it's not too early now, let's go back to the barracks early, and tomorrow morning, you will continue to lead the troops to train."
In Jianyang County, Lian's family, who originally farmed in the countryside for a living, had already moved with her things with her villagers at this moment, and did not dare to continue to appear in Jianyang.
The group took the salute and soon walked to a far place, and had already left Jianyang and arrived in the Jiangxi area.
Here, they found a quiet, uninhabited village, where they cut down wood and built many houses, away from the crowds and the big cities, and lived a simple and quiet life.
Hundreds of people came to this place, and soon began to open up the wasteland, weeding and sowing, planting rice and planting all kinds of vegetables.
Song Ci and Yu's son Song Qing also worked in the fields, and he was born to Yu in his twenties, and followed Lian like his own son.
He sweated like rain in the field, looked at the record of clearing grievances left by Song Ci from time to time, and suddenly, as if he had made some difficult decision, he smashed the hoe in his hand into the field, and said angrily: "Mother, I want to be an official, and I want to become a criminal officer like my father." Lian's eyebrows raised, because Song Ci had confessed before his death that all members of the Song family would not be officials in the future, no matter how young they were.
Lian said: "Qing'er, why do you want to be an official? I can't tell the people about officialdom for the rest of my life, otherwise, you might as well be a langzhong. ”
Song Qing didn't do it, he looked at his younger brothers and sisters: "Don't, mother, I've already finished reading this book that my father left behind, if he doesn't want us to be officials, why do you want to leave this book?" Do you say?"
"At the same time, if he doesn't want us to be officials, why should he show us? Doesn't this hope that when we grow up, we can also be a criminal officer and solve problems for the Great Song Dynasty?"
Lian's heart was in a panic, a scene she didn't want to see appeared, and she was anxious in her heart, because Song Ci had explained more than once that the descendants of the Song family would never be officials.
"Qing'er, you still believe your mother's words, your father did explain this matter before his death, he doesn't want you to be an official, he wants you to either farm or be a teacher and teach, or become a langzhong."
Song Qing still didn't care, he was already determined to be a criminal officer, no matter who he was, he couldn't stop him.
"Mother, and younger brothers and sisters, anyway, I have already decided to be a criminal officer, think about it, how did Aunt Xiaoyue, Aunt Xiaoxiang, and Uncle Lu Sheng Ren You die?" Lian sighed, she was also very desolate in her heart, without Song Ci, there was no one to investigate the case, even if there was an estimate, she would not dare to investigate!
But she knew that this matter was very likely to be done by Jia Yidao, who had the right to the sky, second only to Song Duzong in the Great Song Dynasty.
"Qing'er, as for your Aunt Xiaoyue, I don't think they will die in vain, and their descendants will avenge them, don't you say?"
The other dolls didn't speak, they were still young and their minds were not yet mature, only Song Qing was like an adult.
"Descendants will avenge them? I said Mother, look at it, when is it now, when is the revenge of these people, the murderer is estimated to have died long ago, what is the difference between this and no revenge?"
"At the same time, didn't my father always want to change the Great Song Dynasty and change the whole country? Why don't you let me go when I have this strength? If this is the case, what hope does this country, this Great Song have?"
Lian Shi was silent, she understood the truth, but at this time she was still unwilling, Song Ci's last wish, she was unwilling to disobey.
"Mother, if all the people in the Great Song Dynasty are like me, those who are capable are not up, all corrupt officials and corrupt officials, all mediocre and incompetent people, then what hope does the Great Song have to talk about? How can this nation protect itself?"
"Don't say whether you can defeat Mongolia, or if you don't get destroyed by your own civil strife, it's an unknown, who in the world is not raised by your father? Who doesn't have a living life? Do you know that my children know how to feel sorry, but other people's children don't have to feel sorry?"
