Chapter 16: The Epidemic

There was silence in the hall.

As for the resettlement of the displaced people, there are now endless disputes inside and outside the court, which is nothing more than the word money and food. The law of the ancestors, the displaced people were incorporated into the military and served as the Xiang army, but it was inherited for hundreds of years, and the Xiang army of the Great Song Dynasty was overcrowded, and the court and the central government suffered from it. There are millions of soldiers, and they spend countless amounts of money and food every year, and their combat effectiveness is extremely low.

The status of the warriors of the Song Dynasty was extremely low, once they were used as a van army, it would be a day when they would never come out, how could it be so easy to be Di Qing? Besides, Di Qing's military achievements are world-famous and he is known as a famous general, but what happened in the end? The Xiang army is full of people who are waiting for death, coupled with corruption, redundant army has become a big problem for the Great Song Dynasty.

The New Party has long had the intention of reform, but once the displaced people are not properly resettled, it will be another twist and turn, and if they are not careful, they will be swept away for thousands of miles. Cai Jing is about to be promoted, and the trouble of the displaced people in Guangnan at this time is his last business in Jinghu, and it is also the final test for him in the court.

After all, he was once a young man in the old party, and he was once praised by Sima Guang, a leading figure in the conservative faction, and now the new party recruited him to Tokyo in order to use his talents.

Cai Jing knew the doorway well, but he was very distressed. He does have his own merits, otherwise he would not have become a traitor through the ages. Among those traitors who can control the court, which one is not a scheming and capable person? But what Cai Jing is good at is still officialdom, and he is really more than willing to do this specific affairs involving people's livelihood.

The officials in the hall may not have no ideas in their hearts, but since Fan Zhongyan changed the law, the old and new parties have been fighting fiercely and abnormally, and the situation has changed. The entire court was in a miasma, and the prime ministers changed wave after wave.

No one in this mixed officialdom is a fool. Except for those who involve vital interests or have a clear position, who dares to stand in line easily?

The gun shoots the first bird, and whoever stands in line dies. The resettlement of displaced people is not big, and there are only a few thousand people on the entire Jinghu North Road, but it is not small, because the eyes of the entire court are all gathered here except for the war on the Northwest Road.

Will the reformists find a way out, or will the old party follow the law of their ancestors? Before this outlet, no one dared to move.

Cai Jing himself is an official oil, how can he not see everyone's thoughts? It's just that it's difficult to ride a tiger now, if you can't give a charter, I'm afraid that the court boss will have to give him a charter.

"How innocent are its people! Xia Guan once went to the displaced area to check, the displaced people are not clothed and fed, they are displaced, and they have to form an army on the spot as soon as possible to solve this crisis, and please make a decision as soon as possible. ”

Cai Jing raised his eyelids and saw a middle-aged official's beard trembling, "asking for the people's life".

This is Qin Minxue, the commander of Yushan County, and Cai Jingquan knows that Jianghuai Jingzhejiang is transferred on the fourth road, and this one has no boundary with Jinghu North Road at all, but came from Yushan to find Cai Jing to ask for money and food to appease the displaced people.

Your name has been written down! Cai Jing secretly hated and wanted to get money and food from the old man, but he was still so uninteresting, hum, he didn't understand the way to be an official.

Just when Cai Jing coughed and was about to press the Yushan County Commander, there was a sudden noise outside the door: "Lord Cai, there is a situation on the side of the homeless." ”

"Oh? What's the situation? Hurry up! ”

Cai Jing was secretly happy in his heart, if there is a situation, it is good, if there is no situation, he has to sit on wax, and if something comes out, he can take the opportunity to restructure, cater to Shangguan, and by the way, block the mouths of those old parties.

"Today, the son of the Lin family in Ezhou went to the homeless people to distribute medicine, and found that there was schistosomiasis disease in the homeless people's bodies, and it is said that this disease is very easy to spread widely, so he sent someone to report it."

"The plague?"

Cai Jing frowned, feeling that it was not simple at this time.

Lao Tzu only wants accidents, not accidents. If this is not handled well, and the plague spreads widely, I am afraid that this official will come to an end?

Cai Jing's eyes widened: "Are you sure?" Is what Lin Gongzi sees accurate? Do you have credentials? ”

The official who reported the news looked left and right, lowered his head and said, "It is the servant of the former Jingzhou Assassin Shi Xie Mansion who has come to tell you." ”

"Thank you for the news? It seems that the situation is true, but it is just the words of the Lin Gongzi's family...... After all, we need to investigate. ”

The official's face was expressionless, but his heart was very dissatisfied. Xie Lin has been an official on Jinghu North Road for 20 years, his official reputation is excellent, and he is the existence of a Buddha in ten thousand families among the people.

Especially such a low-level official, I don't care if you want to enter the cabinet to pay homage to the prime minister, this is an old piece of paper? Dare to question Gong Xie's judgment, I can really do you!

If you are not angry, your tone will naturally become more and more blunt.

"Xie Gong's only son, Xie Fang, was also at the scene."

Cai Jing secretly screamed, the only seedlings of the old Xie family were all present, and it seemed that this matter was not far from ten. But subconsciously, he still wanted to suppress this matter, and he may not have the idea of watching the excitement in his heart. After all, if these homeless people all fell ill and died, he didn't have to worry about how to stand aside.

"Gongzi Xie confirmed that Gongzi of the Lin family is a miracle doctor in the world, and except for schistosomiasis disease, all other patients are cured."

"Lin Gongzi, who claims to be the heir of the Medicine King, and the teacher's surname is Sun."

Cai Jing's eyes widened, wouldn't he be so unlucky? Where did a miracle doctor pop up?

When Cai Jing was shocked, Lin He had already rushed to the outside of the transfer envoy's yamen, and Xie Fang followed him to sweat.

"Is the plague really as bad as you say? I always felt that it was wrong, if it was really a plague, then how could you dare to heal them? Aren't you afraid of death? ”

Lin and a worldly master.

"The doctor is benevolent, and the pot is helpful to the world, and you don't understand these profound truths."

Xie Fang was speechless: "Why do I always feel that something seems to be wrong?" Say, Are you hiding anything from me? ”

Lin He smiled bitterly: "At the moment of the epidemic, this is a major event involving the life and death of hundreds of thousands of people, do you think I dare to joke about this?" ”

The fat man nodded: "That's right, although you are a little treacherous, but at least you are very timid, and you don't dare." ”

Lin Youqiang resisted the urge to slap him: "Are you asking to see if this transfer envoy is reliable, can people see us?" ”

Xie Fang handed over a contemptuous look: "Do you think that my Lao Tzu has been in officialdom for decades?" The face must be visible, as for whether you can say it or not, that's your problem. ”

Lin He touched his chin: "Did you just say that this transfer envoy is Lord Cai Jingcai?" I'm afraid this Lord Cai is a little waxy now. ”

Originally, the homeless people outside the city have been in existence for a while, and it stands to reason that the army would have been formed a long time ago, so how can they wait for now? Lin You thought carefully about the experience of Cai Jing in his mind.

As an editor, I have written countless manuscripts, and many of them are about the life of this traitor. Shaosheng's early years were an important juncture in Cai Jing's life. This year, he was reinstated, and the official was promoted to the secretary of the household department, which was a real power position in the Great Song Dynasty.

Later, he was appreciated by the head of the new party, the prime minister of the dynasty, and became a bachelor of Hanlin, majoring in national history. This was a golden errand in the Song Dynasty, equivalent to the youth cadre class in later generations, generally speaking, only as an official who was preparing to enter the cabinet was qualified to hold this position.

Since then, Cai Jing has officially stepped onto the core stage of the Northern Song Dynasty, and when Zhezong dies and Huizong ascends to the throne, this generation of power traitors can be regarded as ushering in the peak of his life.

Not to mention this, just saying that Cai Jing's identity was once appreciated by the old party makes his current situation quite delicate. Lin He remembered that there was an abstract manuscript in which Cai Jing's change of flag was mentioned.

The article at that time was written in a satirical tone, which was nothing more than an additional charge against this traitor through the ages. But Lin He smelled something different from inside.

A smell of the same kind.

Isn't that particularly ridiculous? One is the flat-headed people, and the other is cloth; One already knows the transfer of four states, and is about to be promoted to the ministry.

Such two people can really be described as one in the sky and one in the ground, but Lin You feels that his situation and Cai Jing's situation is very close, because they have one thing in common - they are not tolerated by the old and new parties.

Judging from Cai Jingzhe's official resume, Zhang Dian used him, but guarded against him. Since then, he has served as a bachelor of Hanlin and cultivated the history of the country, although he is noble, he has no real power in his hands. What about the old party? The old party didn't kill this traitor, even if it was very polite, and they still expected to treat him as their own?

Such a situation is similar to Lin He.

Of course, one in heaven and one on the ground, this status will not change.

But with something in common, then Lin He felt that Lord Cai should like some of the things he wanted to do. What's more, Cai Jing in history, once he gained power, the first thing that came to mind was to give himself a boost.

Hehe, officials who like money tend to be easier to persuade.

Lin You was thinking about it, and he and Xie Fang were about to find someone to report, but who knew that an official suddenly rushed out of the official office: "Lord Cai has a life, hurry up and invite Gongzi Xie and Lin Jiazi to interrogate, go quickly...... Huh? Gongzi Xie, where are you here? ”

Mr. Xie? Lin Jiazi? Madan, that's too realistic.
