The so-called Hedong pacification envoy Yamen is actually the state yamen. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The pacification envoys of the Great Song Dynasty generally did not have an independent yamen, because the pacification envoys of each road generally served as the governor of the state where the road was located, so the pacification envoys generally hung a sign in the state yamen, which could be regarded as the yamen of the pacification envoys.

In the Great Song Dynasty, the road was not considered a real administrative division of the first level. The Great Song Dynasty learned the lessons of the former Tang Dynasty and weakened the power of the local officials to the greatest extent, and the temperance made it directly a decoration, and its military, political, financial and criminal powers were divided by the four divisions of the Shuai, Xian, Cang, and Cao. This is completely different from the former Tang Dynasty, when the Jiedu envoy was in charge of the military, government, finance, and punishment. Moreover, the governors of each road of the Great Song Dynasty were directly responsible to the imperial court, which limited the possibility of rebellion of the magistrates to the greatest extent.

Although Zhizhou also has a lot of power, but the largest in a state is only a dozen counties, no matter how much the Zhizhou of a state is churned, it is impossible to make many waves, if you really dare to rebel, you will only be destroyed in minutes.

Of course, there are pros and cons to such a decentralization. Although this was of great benefit to suppressing the division of feudal towns and the dictatorship of military generals, the Great Song Dynasty border areas often suffered losses in battles with Western Xia and Khitan, which was not unrelated to the fact that the power of the magistrates was too small and too scattered.

Zhong Hao and his entourage came to the state government and dismounted, Zhong Hao didn't need to be named, and went directly to say hello. Zhong Hao followed Fu Bi to get acquainted with Hedong affairs in the state ya, and after staying for a while, the officials standing guard at the gate of the state yaya naturally knew each other.

Zhong Hao stepped forward to explain his intentions, and Ni Bantou, who was in the concierge, directly arranged for a servant to take Zhong Hao to the signing room of Lord Zhizhou in the second hall. Ni Bantou knew that Zhong Hao was the quasi-son-in-law of Lord Zhizhou, so naturally he didn't need to report it, and when he arrived at Lord Zhizhou's signing room, he would report it again, and Lord Zhizhou knew that his prospective son-in-law was coming, and he must have wanted to see him.

As for the three of them, Zhong Hao asked them to stay in the state yamen room to drink tea and rest, waiting for them to come out. Ordinary people's entourage naturally did not have this qualification to drink tea in the gatehouse, but Zhong Hao was naturally different, and the officials of the state government politely let Wang San and a few people enter the gatehouse to drink tea.

As the official came to Fu Bi's signing room, everything was still the same as last year when Zhong Hao was familiar with the affairs here, with a familiar taste.

After the official went to report, he immediately asked Zhong Hao to go in and went back to the gate of the state government to be on duty.

Fubi's signing room is in the east wing of the second hall, and the sunset is gradually slanting, and the golden sunlight is sprinkled on the doors and window lattices of the signing room. Zhong Hao pushed open the door of Fu Bi's signature room, and the sunlight immediately shone into the house, reflecting on Fu Bi, who was buried in the case behind the book. Fu Bi's purple official uniform is particularly conspicuous against the background of the golden yellow sun.

Zhong Hao looked envious, it was still a beautiful purple robe, much better than his own green robe.

Seeing Zhong Hao coming in, Fu Bi put down the case in his hand, stood up, his joy was overflowing, and he smiled and said kindly: "Wenxuan is here!" ”

Zhong Hao hurriedly saluted Fu Bi and said, "The lower official has seen the Xianggong!" "After all, it is in the signing room, whether it is Zhong Hao or the etiquette of the official face to meet Fu Bi.

Fu Bi smiled and said, "Wen Xuan doesn't have to be polite, sit down!" Looking at his future son-in-law, Fu Bi still admires it.

Zhong Hao sat down with Fu Bi on the chair next to the coffee table.

Fu Bi asked Chang Sui to serve fragrant tea, he knew that Zhong Hao didn't like to drink some tea, so he specially asked Chang Sui to serve Zhong Hao tea.

"Wenxuan has done quite well in Jingqiang Village, and the official is very pleased! What's the matter with coming to the state this time? Fu Bi looked at Zhong Hao and said with satisfaction.

His future son-in-law is not only literary and elegant, but also has a talent for hard work. This Jingqiang village has only gone through more than half a year, and it has gone from a blank field to the current scale, which is not something that anyone can do, and it is not possible to do it without some ability. Moreover, this newly built Jingqiang Village was able to defeat a cavalry battalion in Western Xia last month and capture more than 100 heads, which is not an easy thing to do. It's not easy to cut the head of the party item. Winning more than 100 levels is definitely a big victory, and Fu Bi is also with Rong, you must know that there is only one army with no combat power in Jingqiang Village!

Zhong Hao saw that several long-term entourages in the signing room were out, and without others, there was no need to be official, and he didn't have to be too polite with his future father-in-law.

At that moment, Zhong Hao directly said that he was here to ask for iron embryos or iron ore, and asked his father-in-law to help declare the text of casting weapons.

Fu Bi Xu muttered: "The Iron Embryo Commander can find a way to get you some, but there are not too many." But if you Jingqiang Village want to forge weapons, I'm afraid it's very difficult. You Jingqiang Village want weapons, and the official will allocate some more for you, it takes time and effort to cast them yourself, and it is too much to lose! "The Great Song Dynasty's control over warriors and weapons was the strictest in all dynasties. It's a great sin to forge a weapon without permission. Even knives made in blacksmiths must be engraved with a number, and they need to be filed in the yamen so that they can be traced back if necessary.

When Zhong Hao heard Fu Bi say this, he told Fu Bi that he should have a way to make better steel to create sharp weapons.

Fu Bi knew that Zhong Hao often had wonderful ideas, maybe he could really make better steel for casting sharp weapons, but he was quite moved, and immediately said: "Then this official will try to think of a way for you!" ”

Zhong Hao also has another purpose here, that is, he naturally wants to ask himself about the battle report of Jingqiang Village for more than a month, when will the reward of the imperial court come down.

Zhong Hao opened his mouth and asked: "Lord Taishan, it has been more than a month since the battle report of our Jingqiang Village last battle beheaded more than 100 party cavalry, I don't know if there is a letter for the reward of the imperial court?" "There is no one else in the signing room, Zhong Hao naturally wants to set up a suit, so he will change his name to Fubi Taishan.

Fu Bi heard Zhong Hao call himself Lord Taishan, slightly uncomfortable, although he didn't want to be called like this in the signing room, but he didn't bother to care, anyway, Zhong Hao called not once or twice, he told Zhong Hao countless times, don't call himself Taishan before getting married, but Zhong Hao was still unmoved. At that moment, Fu Bi glared at Zhong Hao fiercely, and said: "How can the reward of the imperial court come down so quickly, wait, this time your benefits are indispensable!" ”

After talking about it and talking about business business, Zhong Hao wanted to talk about private matters. As for any private matters, it was natural that he wanted to talk to himself about Taishan about him and Fu Ruozhu.

However, Fu Bi didn't give him a chance at all, and after the business was over, Fu Bi got up and sat down behind the long case, and began to deal with the case, not planning to talk about personal matters in the signing room.

Zhong Hao originally wanted to ask about Fu Ruozhu's situation and see if he could see her by the way, but I'm afraid it's no fun to see this situation.

Zhong Hao got up to say goodbye, and Fu Bi sat behind the long case and waved his hand casually, signaling him to take it easy.

Fu Bi didn't give him the opportunity to see Fu Ruozhu, Zhong Hao had his own way, it was not for nothing to mess up in the state government for a few months last year, Zhong Hao wanted to find someone to send a message to Fu Ruozhu for himself, and he could still do it easily.

Zhong Hao asked people to go to the back office for him and sent a note to Fu Ruozhu, and Fu Ruozhu made an appointment to visit the Jin Temple together tomorrow.

Coming out of the state office, Zhong Hao did not go to the post station outside the city, but took Wang San and a few people to find a good inn in the city to stay.

Zhong Hao and they have been in a desolate place such as Jingqiang Village for a long time, and it is rare to enter the second big city, so naturally they have to enjoy it, and they must eat and drink well tonight.
