"Dali and the Great Song Dynasty, the generations are good, the Great Song Dynasty Taizu Jade Axe crossed the river, set the border between the Great Song Dynasty and Dali, and said: In addition, I have it." Wang Kui also stood up and said in a deep voice: "Duan Zhengyan, the former head of Dali, was once named by Huizong as the Shangzhu State, Yunnan Jiedu Envoy, Jin Ziguanglu Doctor, and the Inspector Sikong, etc., and our dynasty has a close connection, pays tribute every year, is obedient, and our dynasty has repeatedly rewarded Dali, and it is precisely because of such a good relationship that Changsun Hong will send troops to help me." Therefore, the minister concluded that the eldest grandson Hong was just seeking wealth and fame, and would not be arrogant and covetous of the land of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

"If the eldest grandson Hong has a heart of disobedience, the lower official is willing to use the Xichuan military horse to level Dali, and then bear the guilt of Jing and ask for it, tie himself to the front of the adult hall, and lead the neck to death!"

Meng Hui frowned and looked at him, Wang Kui's eyes were awe-inspiring, unpretentious, and he did not back down from his gaze.

After half a ring, he exhaled, Meng Heng took a few steps closer, and said to him intently: "What you said is not unreasonable, since ancient times, whether it is Nanzhao or Dali, it is safe and divided, and everything in the Central Plains will be summoned immediately, without complaint or demand." Dali country is just a way, the people are less than 10 million, compared with the towering Central Plains, the difference is very far, the rat can not swallow the elephant, the mantis arm can not stop the car, the eldest grandson Hong as you said, can be regarded as a momentary masterpiece, will not think of these. ”

"Exactly, my lord!" Wang Kui took a deep look.

"Anyway, the salt merchants are rich and rival the country, and there are big names in the DPRK and China behind them, your new town in Sichuan, the foundation of the court is not deep, and they will make trouble, which is also a disaster, in case they hold any handle, it will be more difficult to deal with." Meng Hui sat back on the chair, picked up the teacup and took a sip: "Shi Xianggong also wants me to take more care of you, it is reasonable, I will definitely help you, if those salt merchants come to you, you will push all of them on me." ”

"So! There's Lord Law! Wang Kui was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked: "I'm afraid that it will cause trouble for adults." ”

"It's okay, a businessman, what can you do to me?" Meng Heng put down the teacup and said solemnly: "Remember your words, if something happens to Xichuan, your head will not be guaranteed!" ”

Wang Kui got up, his face was calm, he stood straight in front of Meng Heng, solemnly clenched his fists, and said in a loud voice: "Don't worry, if you lose Sichuan, you won't have to do it, and the next official will learn from Chen Longzhi and die for the country!" ”

……

In Tiantai County, Taizhou Prefecture, Liangzhejiang East Road, speaking of Fujiqiao Songxi Jiajia, it is very famous.

The Jia family made a fortune after Gaozong's southern crossing, a three-jinshi, three generations of official eunuchs, a prominent family, a prosperous family of people, a large number of talents, industrial and commercial Jia, studying and being an official, all have outstanding characters.

Among the leaders of this generation, of course, is Jia Yidao of Dafang.

Jia Rudao, the character Shixian, the concubine of Jia She, the envoy of Jinghu, his mother, is Jia She's fifth concubine.

Generally speaking, the son of the concubine always has to suffer some unfair treatment, such as not being able to enjoy a good educational environment, always having white eyes at home, being poor in money, and being bullied by other relatives who are favored from time to time, etc.

However, Jia Rudao has never encountered any of these things.

Jia Shi treats people fairly, treats his sons, whether they are sons-in-law or concubines, and treats everyone equally, so Jia Rudao is very lucky, he has a loving father.

Jia She's achievements are no worse than his father, Jia Wei, that is, Jia Wei's grandfather, or even higher. Since childhood, he has been generous and ambitious, wise and brave, and has accumulated meritorious officials to make Huaidong system envoys and Taifu Shaoqing, and his greatest achievement is to deal with the loyal and righteous army that was rampant in Shandong alone, and recruited Li Quan and others, who were in turmoil in the Southern Song Dynasty, to pacify Shandong, and have a high prestige in the Lianghuai area.

There is such a prominent Lao Tzu, Jia seems to have a very high starting point, although when he was eleven years old, Jia Shi died of illness due to overwork, but he was still at the age of twenty-one, he was appointed as the Jiaxing Sicang with his father's shadow, and embarked on a career as an official.

Four years later, Jia Rudao was a jinshi, worshiped a bachelor of Baozhangge, entered Beijing to report on his work, and entered the center of the imperial court.

During the Chunyou period, he was promoted again, relying on being the sister of the concubine and taking the path of Shi Songzhi, and served as the deputy envoy of the system along the Yangtze River, knowing Jiangzhou.

This kind of output is already much higher and faster than the children of the Jia family of the same age.

Therefore, his mother, Hu Shi, was very happy and specially asked someone to bring a letter, telling him to make a detour home when he went to Beijing to report on his work recently.

On the one hand, burn incense and worship fruit to thank the ancestors for their blessings, on the other hand, I hope that the ancestors will continue to bless themselves and further soar in the official career.

So Jia Rudao went home.

He received a warm welcome.

The number of the Jia family has come back, and they will welcome this child who will carry forward the Jia family even more, and a should official from Tiantai County also came, and the local leaders and faces have also arrived, the huge Jia family is as lively as a market, and a long row of horse tethering stones at the door is full of horses, and the sedan chair that stays is lined up for a whole street.

Everyone is proud to talk to Jia Yidao, in his thirties, a fool can also judge that this young and talented handsome man, the future achievements must be immeasurable, as the saying goes, a person who has the Tao chicken dog ascends to heaven, it is always good to get to know him early and make friends with him.

Jia Rudao greeted and spoke to everyone kindly and cordially, with a very good attitude, no arrogance at all, the children of the clan should hold hands and encourage, the officials outside should give up their hands to greet each other, and even the neighbors greeted with a smile.

Interpersonal relationships are very important, it's easy to offend a person, but it's hard to make a good friend.

A hustle and bustle, a smile for half a day, after coping with one, Jia Rudao returned to the back hall, he wanted to visit his mother, the ancients regarded filial piety as the greatest, and no one could say anything.

But in the back hall, sitting on the throne was the patriarch of the family, his second uncle Jia Zheng.

No matter how big an official is outside, even if he is the prime minister, as long as he returns home and sees the patriarch, he has to greet him in a proper manner, and he must not exceed half a cent of courtesy.

Jia Rudao saluted the patriarch and elders according to the rules, then sat down, and smiled to the few people sitting or standing in the room: "I knew that there must be something to do when I came back to the house, the second uncle came out at such an old age, this matter may not be small." ”

Sitting in the room were his second uncle Jia Zheng, third uncle Jia Zhan, cousins Jia Zongwen and Jia Zongyan, and those standing were nephews Jia Changfeng and Jia Haitang.

Jia Zheng looked at him deeply, his face was solemn, and he nodded and said, "Yes, it is because of the big incident in the family that I invite you to come back to discuss." ”

"Oh?" Looking at the white-haired second uncle's serious appearance, Jia Rudao felt a little bad, the second uncle had also seen a big scene in Shandong with his father back then, and he had experienced several times in the sea of blood and corpses with sharp blades, but now although he is older, his courage has not diminished at all, and he has always been as stable as Mount Tai, but today he feels a little nervous.

The matter was probably not small, so Jia Rudao hurriedly asked, "What is the matter?" ”

Jia Zheng furrowed his brows and said in a deep voice: "It's your cousin Zongyan's child, your nephew Changhe, he had an accident in Sichuan." ”

"Something?" Jia Rudao wrung his eyebrows together.

"He died, and when he was sending Sichuan salt out of Sichuan to the north, he was ambushed on the bank of the Dadu River, hundreds of people were killed, and his body fell into the river, and he couldn't find it." Jia Zheng pestled the crutches in his hand on the green bricks on the ground, making a crisp sound.
