Chapter 524: Official Documents

Leaving the granary, it didn't take long for Shi Bin to think of the question he hadn't finished talking about before: how to explain to Jia Yidao the problem of helping him train soldiers.

"Xiaoling, we are actually a little troublesome to even meet our father now, and it is difficult to achieve the goal of letter exchange, what other way do you think we can clearly express our meaning without seeing our father?" Shi Bin asked with some concern.

"Don't see your father and know what we mean? We could have thought this way before, but now we definitely can't. Jia Ling smiled bitterly, "Have you forgotten that we still have to go to him to ask for a grain transfer document?" ”

After Jia Ling reminded him like this, Shi Bin realized that even if he didn't want to see Jia Yidao, he couldn't do it, because he couldn't let Jia Ling carry such a big burden alone. Although it is very embarrassing to see Jia Yidao again, no matter how embarrassing it is, I have to go.

If there is anything good about this matter, it is that there is a justifiable reason to see Jia Rudao. As long as he can find a way to say the compensation plan in front of Jia Yidao, he will probably be much more comfortable and things will be much better.

"Tell me, how should we talk when we go to see my father?" Shi Bin said with some distress, "I don't want to be like a debt collector, let alone a beggar." ”

That's for sure, no one likes that feeling. However, no one can say for sure whether the angry Jia Nidao will really look at Shi Bin as a debt collector or beggar. It's better not to do it, but what to do if you do? Could it be that you really begged him with a face?

So after hearing Shi Bin's words, Jia Ling, Sai Xishi and Xu Feng all wanted to protect their faces. After walking dozens of steps, Xu Feng claimed to have found a possible solution. To put it bluntly, it is a repeat of the old trick, and then send Jia Yidao a few good books, and use these good books to dissipate his anger.

It's just that this time Shi Bin, Jia Ling and Sai Xishi all gave Xu Feng a disapproving look. Although this method is feasible, the effect is definitely not good, and it can only be the next policy. Seeing the eyes of the three of them, Xu Feng realized that his opening this time was a little abrupt and thoughtless, so he thought seriously again.

"Since we don't want to be too disgraced by our father, do we have to give our father a chance to lose face?" Shi Bin asked.

"It's natural, the question is how not to give our father the opportunity to humiliate us? It's not okay to say something nice. Maybe our honey-smeared words will backfire, and he will laugh at us as flatterers. I think it's better for us to be honest this time. ”

After listening to Jia Ling's words, Sai Xishi immediately agreed that he should speak honestly and not be a sycophant.

Determined a taboo but still didn't come up with a way, Shi Bin had to continue to use his brains. It's just that they all walked to the gate of Jiangdu County, but they still didn't come up with a way to save face.

"Hurry up, we're going to enter the city at the gate of the capital. I'm tired after tossing back and forth for so long, and if I really can't think of a way, I'll be scolded. Anyway, losing some face in front of my father is nothing. Jia Ling said dejectedly.

Sai Xishi and Xu Feng both sighed helplessly, saying that maybe it could only be like this, they were very depressed and followed Jia Ling into the city gate, but Shi Bin stopped there. Because he kept ringing three words in his ears, 'Hurry up'. Why is that? Shi Bin was a little puzzled.

After taking a few steps forward, he naturally found that Shi Bin was still standing at the gate of the city without following up, so Jia Ling, who was already a little impatient, said loudly: "Hurry up and keep up, time is running out, in case my father returns to Yangzhou, we will have to spend a lot more effort!" ”

This time, Shi Bin was empowered, and finally figured out why he always thought about the words 'hurry up' in his mind before. Immediately followed with an excited face.

Now that the huge changes will naturally not be ignored by Jia Ling and the three, Sai Xishi immediately asked: "Husband, what did you think of, and you suddenly laughed." Is it related to what we just talked about? ”

"Yes, this is thanks to Xiaoling's two urgings." Shi Bin said with a smile, "Father, as the appeasement of Huainan and Huainan Road, must be in a hurry, which means that there will not be a lot of time." He has been hiding from us for the past two days, and presumably the official documents in his office have already piled up. So he definitely won't spend too much time sarcastically and lecturing us, so let's just admit a small mistake and then work hard

The emphasis on time is tight. ”

"Admit a small mistake first, and then emphasize the urgency of time?" Jia Ling thought about it and said, "It's a way, but maybe we can't just say that he is short of time, but we should emphasize that we ourselves are short of time." It might be better to give my father a wake-up call. ”

It turned out to be a side knock, although not very clever but definitely useful. Because of Jia's resolute temperament, once he is reminded, he will definitely no longer focus on getting angry, but will think about how to deal with those pending official duties as soon as possible.

"Reasonable, it is estimated that my father will soon sign the official document for us to transfer grain, and then drive us out of the county office, and he himself will go back to Yangzhou quickly." Shi Bin said with certainty.

In this way, his face has been saved slightly, but how to make Jia Yidao fully accept Shi Bin and Lu Wende to help him train is still a problem.

"Perhaps, maybe the adults will simply help your father-in-law transfer his men back after training? Give your father-in-law such a promise, and maybe he won't have much to worry about. Xu Feng proposed.

Transfer the coach back after training? This made Shi Bin feel a little incredible. In his opinion, it is nothing to leave a few people on Huainan Road, and Jia Yidao should not be so sensitive.

"Xu Feng, what do you mean by this, do you have any concerns about my father-in-law if I leave a few heads here?" Shi Bin asked incredulously.

"My lord, just in case." Xu Feng said, "Looking at the adult's reaction, I suddenly remembered something. ”

Shi Bin, who was a little unhappy, gave Xu Feng a look and motioned him to speak up quickly, but the face was very bad. Because even if Xu Feng is reasonable, after all, he still wants to keep a few shadows here from the bottom of his heart. Not to mention using these heads to control the military power of the Huainan two roads, it is also very suitable to use them to form officials on these two roads, especially some generals.

"I think maybe we can let your father-in-law know what we mean without opening your mouth. It doesn't do us much good to open up. Xu Feng said.

It's definitely no good to say it, if Jia Yidao is impatient and only listens to half of it and takes it out of context, wouldn't it make things worse? So Shi Bin, Jia Ling, and Sai Xishi all nodded their heads and asked Xu Feng to say what he thought of.

"Let's communicate with your father-in-law in the way of writing instead of speaking. It's just that instead of writing letters, you can write official documents. It may be better for you to write down the meaning you want to express in an official document and show it to your father-in-law. Xu Feng said with a smile.

Write an official document for Jia Nidao to read? It's a weird idea, but it might work.

Letters are private items that can be disposed of indiscriminately, but official documents are public items that cannot be disposed of at will, and basic respect should be maintained for them. That is to say, you can not look at it, but you can't get angry and destroy it. Jia Rudao is also a person who is deeply influenced by Confucianism, so it is even more impossible to destroy official documents at will. In this way, Jia Yidao should really be able to fully and accurately understand what Shi Bin meant.

After thinking carefully about what Xu Feng said, Shi Bin and the three of them immediately expressed their full support and quickly went to the county office. While forging official documents, he blocked the door of the county government to prevent Jia Yidao from leaving.

Soon the fake official document was ready, and even the seal was carved out of a radish by Xu Feng.

Ready together, Shi Bin and the others went to the place where Jia Rudao worked in the county government. It's just that he obviously knew that Shi Bin and the others would come back again, so Jia Rudao locked the door of the office. Shi Bin knocked on the door and no one responded, pushing the door and not being able to enter, very embarrassed.

Of course, he couldn't just freeze here, so Shi Bin took Jia Ling and began to apologize. "Father, Xiaoling and I shouldn't have been clever before, and we should explain it if we have something to say. But please don't remember the villain, and be considerate of our difficulties, so don't worry about it? ”

was tricked by Shi Bin before, and this time Jia Nidao naturally wanted to get it back, so Jia Nidao said: "Don't worry, I won't bother with you." ”

"Thank you, father, for a lot, please open the door, let's discuss the matter of food transfer, I just left in a hurry and didn't ask you to sign the official document." Although he didn't believe that Jia Yidao would really care, Shi Bin still said it so smoothly.

"Grain transfer documents? I don't think I signed it to you. Jia Rudao said, but at the same time, he regretted that he now has too much official business in his hands to sign an official document for Shi Bin and them, and if he wants an official document, he will have to wait at least two days.

Seeing that Jia Rudao really wanted to rectify himself, Shi Bin had no choice but to come up with the method he had come up with with at the city gate with Jia Ling before

to cope. He vigorously emphasized that there are priorities in things, that he still has a lot of things to do in Hedong, and that there are still 100,000 refugees and more than 1 million stone of grain to bring back in Huainan, and there are too many things to be delayed. And said that leaving his post without permission is already a big crime, and if he still allows the Yuan people to take the opportunity to invade, it will be a capital crime, and Jia Ling will be widowed at that time.

Of course, Jia Rudao will not believe the ghost story of the invasion of the Yuan people, and the last thing he will believe is that who else dares to kill him Shi Bin in this Great Song Dynasty now. However, there are many things to do in Hedong, and it is true that 100,000 families of refugees and more than 1 million stone of grain will be brought to the north. I do realize that I also have a lot of things to deal with, and I don't have much time to spare.

This made Jia Nidao, who has always been vigorous and resolute, unable to lock the door and keep Shi Bin out of the door.

It's just that even if he is resolute, Jia Rudao naturally doesn't want Shi Bin, the guys who made him angry when he saw him, stay in front of him for a while longer, so he quickly signed the official document and stamped it and issued an eviction order.

Of course, you can't just leave, and when Jia Rudao was about to kick Shi Bin out of the office, Jia Ling suddenly said loudly: "Father, this is an official document for you!" ”

Looking at Jia Ling and the briefcase in her hand, Jia Rudao felt incredible. So he asked with a little anger: "How can the official document given to me be in your hands?" ”

"Please calm my father's anger, this is the post man we met at the gate of Jiangdu City, he just knows me and Jia Ling, because he has too many other official documents to send, so he handed this official document to us, please help send it to you." Shi Bin said nonsense.

This is a reasonable reason, Jia Rudao did not pursue it, so he carefully checked the fire paint on the briefcase, and only opened it to read it after seeing that it was okay.

The more I read Jia Nidao, the more I felt that something was wrong, because the official document sent by the imperial court said back and forth that it was 'banditry', and asked Jia Nidao to exterminate all bandits and bandits in the territory within three months, and if he couldn't do it, he would be held accountable. The Song court never asked about the bandits, and only asked him to do his best to collect taxes and food for the imperial court, how could this not make him suspicious?

Later, the official document even mentioned that if you feel that your strength is insufficient, you can ask your son-in-law Shi Bin for help, and the court will not pursue it, as long as you grasp the scale.

Because of his suspicions, Jia Yidao, who has always been meticulous, was more meticulous, and finally let him see the clue in the radish seal.

Suddenly, he slammed the table, and Jia Rudao shouted loudly: "Shi Bin, what do you mean by this, isn't there enough trouble to provoke?" ”

"Father, what I mean is clearly on paper, refugees, powerful pressures, and rebellion in the country must have troubled you. Although it helped you solve some refugee problems, it also pitted you a lot of food, which made us a little unhappy. So I thought of such a way to make up for my mistakes. Shi Bin replied calmly.

"Okay, then tell me how you plan to help me." Jia Rudao said patiently.

"Simple, it's to send a few people who have fought and can train soldiers to your command to help you train and suppress bandits. After suppressing a few cottages, and then recruiting An, presumably your Huainan two roads will be much more peaceful. Shi Bin said.

"And what about after the bandits?" Jia Rudao asked with a smile, but there was some cunning in that smile.

Old fox! Shi Bin scolded secretly. However, he still remembered Xu Feng's words, so he had to say bitterly: "Then it depends on my father's attitude, if you still like them, keep them, and return them if you don't like them, everything depends on your father." ”

This answer surprised Jia Yidao, and what surprised Jia Yidao even more was Jia Ling's attitude, she actually agreed with Shi Bin.

"Do you want to retreat?" Jia Rudao thought to himself, "Or does it really matter, just to make some compensation?" It's just that Jia Rudao won't believe this second idea even if he is killed, so he thinks that Shi Bin is retreating.

And this 'retreat' is what Jia Yidao had hoped for, so he said happily: "Okay, then I'll talk about it then, but I should return all those heads to you, don't be unhappy then." ”

It is rare for Jia Yidao to accept his compensation, Shi Bin is already very satisfied, so he is very happy to say that the eldest husband will never regret it. What's more, if you carefully calculate that it will take at least a year to train the troops and suppress the bandits, it will be enough to make good friends with those officials.

After thanking Jia Nidao again, Shi Bin took Jia Ling and left Jia Nidao's office without looking back.
