Chapter Ninety-Seven: "First Chop and Then Play"
Li Sanjian left Beijing in February of the first year of the Yasukuni period and went to Quanzhou to take up his post, and it has been nearly a year since December now, and this is the first time that he has performed this performance.
During the recital, Li Sanjian analyzed the situation in Quanzhou and explained the reasons for Quanzhou to build a strong boat division and its necessity and importance.
Not only is it a bloody performance, but also a sincere speech, Li Sanjian hopes that the imperial court will make a decision as soon as possible.
"What is Li Zhizhou going to do?" Cui Yongji, the general judge of Quanzhou, carefully looked at my Li Sanjian's recital, signed his name and asked.
"Li plans not to wait for the imperial court to reply, and will start preparing for this matter after the New Year." Li Sanjian replied after thinking about it.
Quanzhou is thousands of miles away from Beijing, and Song Shu was sent to Beijing, and the imperial court discussed it again, and then replied to Quanzhou, maybe more than half a year has passed, or even longer.
At this time, the bandits in Quanzhou had reached the point where there was no time to delay, so Li Sanjian planned to "cut first and then play", and first began to prepare for the establishment of the Quanzhou Boat Division.
"After the New Year?" Cui Yongzi asked worriedly when he heard this: "Is Li Zhizhou's move too hasty?" And the intention of the imperial court has not been decided, so it is rash to do this, is it some? . . . If the court blames it, we will not escape its responsibility. Moreover, if the court does not allow this, then the crime is even greater. ”
Military affairs, especially those of local state capitals, were taboo in the Song dynasties, not only in the Song Dynasty, but also in all dynasties and dynasties that did not taboo this matter? It is quite taboo, once such a sign appears, it must be extinguished as soon as possible.
The Song Dynasty, in particular, was well aware of the harm of the secession of feudal towns, so almost all of the local military and political powers in chief were literati, and their rights were strictly restricted.
"Cui Tongju misunderstood what Li meant." Li Sanjian nodded when he heard this: "How can Li not know the system of the imperial court?" I plan to start preparing after the New Year, but the preparation is not about setting up a boatmaster right away. Those who are suitable for 100 miles will stay in the grain, and those who are suitable for thousands of miles will gather grain in March, and the things of the boat division are nothing more than people, ships, weapons, etc., so Li's plan is that after the New Year, he will recruit troops and horses, build ordnance and warships, and recruit troops in the name of solving the bandit problem in Quanzhou to fight against the invasion of pirates, and the warships will be more troublesome, but you can first use the ships of the Maritime Inspection Division, if the ships are not enough, build civilian ships, and after the imperial court's will comes down, they will be converted into warships. ”
The bandits in Quanzhou are so serious, in order to resist the invasion of pirates, they ordered people to recruit troops and horses, build ordnance and ships, will they be convicted? Li Sanjian said secretly in his heart.
Li Sanjian also understood that even if the bandits were serious, the local state government still had to obtain the permission of the imperial court to recruit troops and horses, but before leaving, Emperor Zhao Ji of the Song Dynasty gave Li Sanjian the right to execute the matter of Quanzhou, so this is the right to execute the matter.
Li Sanjian has the right to execute on the spot, and the reason why Li Sanjian is still playing the imperial court is to avoid unnecessary troubles in the future, and at the same time explain the matter to Emperor Zhao Ji of the Song Dynasty, explaining that the fact of the boat master is Li Sanjian's helpless move.
"This... All right? Cui Yongzi still asked suspiciously.
"It should be." Li Sanjian nodded and said: "Cui Tongju can rest assured, if something happens, the official will bear it, and no one will be implicated." ”
"Is this what Cui meant?" Cui Yongzi glared at Li Sanjian when he heard the words and said, "Cui is Li Zhizhou's adjutant, how can he stay out of the matter?" Cui is willing to share responsibility with Li Zhizhou, so what's the big deal with being dismissed from office? ”
"Huh!" Li Sanjian couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "Don't worry about Cui Tong's judgment, this is the holy will, and there will be nothing wrong." ”
Divine will? Cui Yongzi looked at Li Sanjian in a daze when he heard this, and he didn't know what he meant...
"Patrol Envoy, how is it in the city?" While the two were talking, Lu Qiu, the inspection envoy of the Quanzhou Inspection Department, walked into the state government hall, so Li Sanjian asked.
"Li Zhizhou and Cui Tong are sentenced, and the lower officials are coming to clarify this matter." Lu Qiu arched his hand and said: "The attack of pirates in ** County and Nan'an County still caused some riots in the city, but the lower officials led people to calm down the matter, but the lower officials did not dare to post notices, for fear of causing greater panic among the people in the city. ”
"You're doing the right thing." Li Sanjian nodded approvingly: "There is nothing in the world, mediocre people disturb themselves, and dozens of pirates can't mess with me in Quanzhou." ”
Cui Yongzi estimated that the number of pirates was one or two hundred, and Li Sanjian deliberately lowered the number to reassure the army and the people.
"What Li Zhizhou said is very true." Sure enough, Lu Qiu was a lot relieved when he heard this, and said that there were only dozens of pirates, and he could take most of them with the Inspection Division.
"Lu Xun is a person from Jiangzuo, right? Can you know the nature of the water and sail the boat? Li Sanjian then stood up, walked up to Lu Qiu and asked.
"The subordinate is a person of Sanwu, who has known water and boats since he was a child." Lu Qiu replied.
"Hmm" Li Sanjian nodded, turned around and asked Cui Yongji: "Cui Tongju, this official wants to make the land patrol envoy the inspection envoy of the Maritime Inspection Department, what do you think?" ”
The Quanzhou Inspection Division is divided into land and sea, and Quanzhou is a coastal city, so the Maritime Inspection Division is more important than the Land Inspection Division.
At this time, the inspection envoy of the Quanzhou Maritime Inspection Department said that he was sick at home, and he had been at home for more than half a year, so Li Sanjian wanted to change people.
The inspection envoy of the Maritime Inspection Department let him stay sick at home all the time, Li Sanjian secretly said in his heart, whether there is such a sick maritime inspector or not, it is not certain. 51
When Li Sanjian left the capital in February, he once said to Emperor Zhao Ji of the Song Dynasty that if he wanted to govern Quanzhou City, he must first govern Quanzhou, and if he wanted to govern Quanzhou, he must first govern people, and people are Quanzhou officials.
At present, the officialdom of Quanzhou is not much different from other officialdoms in the Song Dynasty, and there are many people who make up rosters, eat empty salaries, or have long-term illnesses or have something to do without ordering Mao, and there are more than 100 people in the official roster and the actual number of people who are in charge of Mao, so Li Sanjian wants to clarify the rule of officials in Quanzhou, so he starts with this matter.
"It couldn't be more appropriate." Cui Yongzi replied when he heard this: "But the people of the Land Inspection Division... Li Zhizhou has a candidate, right? ”
Li Sanjian nodded.
Since Li Sanjian took office, he has arranged for several cronies to be in the state government, which is also human nature, and there are several henchmen under him, and they can only be handy when they get started, and they can be like an arm.
The key is to be an official with heart, not the kind of person who bullies people by taking advantage of the situation, so what does it matter?
"Patrol Envoy Lu, today you will go to the Maritime Inspection Department to take up your post, remember, after taking office, send more sentinel ships to investigate the movements of pirates, and collect more ships for future use, can there be warships in the Inspection Division?" If there is a warship, it needs to be maintained and must not be damaged. After Li Sanjian obtained Cui Yongzi's consent, he instructed Lu Qiudao.
"Subordinates obey!" After passing by, he bowed down and received the order, and then turned and left.
Warship? I haven't heard of any warships in the Maritime Inspection Division? Lu Qiu said secretly in his heart as he walked, even if there were, it was just a sporadic small warship...
"Come in, you two." Li Sanjian then said to Wu Miaoshan and Yan Si, who had been waiting outside the hall for a long time.
"Little Wu Miaoshan visited the judge... Meet Li Fuzun, the villain hasn't seen Li Juan for a long time... Li Mansion is respected, villain... Villain... ”
When Wu Miaoshan saw Li Sanjian again, he was so excited that he didn't know what to say, and he still called Li Sanjian in the name of the judge several times.
After Li Sanjian glanced at Cui Yongji, he smiled at Wu Miaoshan and said, "It's only been more than half a year since we separated, what does it mean for a long time?" Hehe, Wu Zhutou, was recruited to Quanzhou by this official, there will be no complaints in his heart, right? ”
Wu Miaoshan is the head of the Kaifeng Mansion, although he is still an official, but his actual status is higher than that of some local state officials, and at this time Li Sanjian "robbed" Wu Miaoshan from the hands of Kaifeng Mansion to Quanzhou...
Wu Miaoshan has been in public order for a long time, and things such as theft are easy for him to capture, and Li Sanjian needs such a person at present.
"How dare you be a little one? Li Fuzun exalted the villain like this, and it was too late for the villain to be grateful. Wu Miaoshan replied when he heard this.
"That's good!" Li Sanjian nodded and said: "Wu Miaoshan, once served as the head arrester of the Kaifeng Mansion, and was very good at arresting thieves and other public security matters, and now this official has ordered you to be the deputy inspection envoy of the Quanzhou Land Inspection Division, temporarily leading the land inspection department, and Yan Si is the head of the land inspection department." ”
What the? Deputy Envoy of the Inspection Division? The deputy inspector is an official rather than an official, although he is a small official like a sesame mung bean, but he is also an official, isn't it?
Therefore, when Wu Miaoshan heard this, he looked at Li Sanjian blankly, he couldn't believe his ears, his mouth opened wide, and for a while, he couldn't speak...
Li Sanjian's move shows that he is already ready to recommend Wu Miaoshan as an official.
In the Song Dynasty, there were special procedures or steps for officials to become officials, which was relatively difficult, but it was relatively easy to be recommended by the chief official.
However, if the official is the official, even if there is a recommendation from the chief official, it must be approved by the court officials, so at this time, Wu Miaoshan was a little puzzled, wondering that Li Sanjian did not announce it directly without the permission of the court officials?
What Wu Miaoshan didn't know was that Li Sanjian at this time had already received an edict from Emperor Zhao Ji of the Song Dynasty, and officials below the state level could be directly appointed, and they only needed to make up a fold to the court officials afterwards.
"My subordinates, thank you for being a princess!" Yan Si saw Wu Miaoshan standing stunned, so he touched Wu Miaoshan and thanked him.
Yan Si is also relatively happy, happy that he has finally changed from a thief to a person in the public mansion, which can be regarded as "whitewashing".
When Kaifeng Mansion was opened, Yan Si was originally a "thief", and was later subdued by Li Sanjian, followed by Li Sanjian, and was a close confidant of Li Sanjian, but he never had an official identity, even if he had an official identity at this time, that is, the head of the Quanzhou Inspection Division.
"Do you only thank this official?" Li Sanjian touched the beard that was getting longer and longer under his chin, looked at Wu Miaoshan and Yan Si, and asked with a smile.
"Thank you, Li Fuzun, thank you, Cui Tongju!" So Wu Miaoshan and Yan Si thanked together.
"Excuse me!" Cui Yongqi glanced at the strange-looking Yan Si and said: "Although Inspector Wu was in charge of catching thieves in Kaifeng Mansion in the past, Quanzhou is different from the capital, I hope you can adapt to Quanzhou as soon as possible." ”
"My subordinates understand, thank you Cui Tong for sentencing." Wu Miaoshan responded.
