Jiangzhou in the Song Dynasty, that is, Jiujiang City, Jiangxi, Jiangzhou in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the jurisdiction of most of Jiangxi, after the Southern Dynasties were divided many times, so that the jurisdiction of Jiangzhou became smaller! Jiangzhou (Tang Dynasty), one of the administrative divisions of the Tang Dynasty and Song Dynasty. Until the Song Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty.

This "Jiangzhou" is the most famous, Xiao Yi, the king of Xiangdong in the Southern Liang Dynasty, that is, the later Emperor Yuan of Liang, served as the history of Jiangzhou, and the famous sentence "Jiangzhou Sima Qingshan Wet" in the famous sentence "Jiangzhou Sima Qingshan Wet" in the Tang Dynasty poet Bai Juyi refers to here.

"Jiangzhou" in "Water Margin" also refers to this. At present, Jiujiang, Jiangxi Province still preserves a complete "Xunyang Building", which is the place where Song Jiang inscribed anti-poems, and the full text of Song Jiang's anti-poems is written.

In the Tang Dynasty, Jiujiang in present-day Jiangxi Province also set up Jiangzhou because of the Yangtze River, because of the long time of inheritance, especially in the tenth year of Yuan and the tenth year Bai Juyi was demoted to Jiangzhou Sima wrote the famous "Pipa Xing", which made Jiujiang, the "Jiangzhou", more famous.

It's night, but it's not the usual.

Song Jiang of Jiangzhou Prison City changed into decent clothes, quietly took the letter from the prefect of Jeju, and went to Cai Jiufu.

Turn around Xiaozhi Lane, from Sweet Water Lane to the north and go straight out of the north gate of Jingling Palace, and across the street is Cai Jiu's private residence.

Cai Jiu is like a towering tree to the current Song Jiang, not rude, when he needs to be unruly, Song Jiang dares to fight, but when he needs to bow his head, Song Jiang can also bow his head.

Lisheng said, "Which brother is at the door?" ”

Two people flashed out of the pavilion next to the door, and when they saw Song Jiang's extraordinary temperament and rich clothes, they asked, "But I don't know where the noble man came from?" ”

Song Jiang said: "Song San, Yuncheng County, Jeju, came to pay a visit, there is a letter from Cai Xianggong here, and I am tired of introducing it." ”

When he heard that the gate was not from Tokyo City, his face was arrogant, how could Song Jiang not know the rules, he took out two pieces of silver in his arms, and handed them over together with the letter in his hand: "Tired." ”

The gate got the silver, and then his face eased slightly, but he didn't see any joy, no one in Bianliang City, Tokyo, who had never seen it, and the two ingots of silver were just ordinary in the past: "Song San? Have you never heard of it? ”

Song Jiang's old face turned red, and he endured the humiliation and said: "I have something to report with the prefect, and I am tired of spreading it." ”

"Wait!" The doorman answered, turned around and entered the door.

After about half an hour, the gate came to invite.

In Cai Jiufu, the entrance is a zigzag verandah, and the stones under the steps are spread into a road. There are two or three small houses on it, one bright and two dark, and then go forward, carved beams and painted buildings, water pavilions.

Just a few steps, the rockery is oblique. Turning around the bosom of the mountain, a low wall of yellow mud is faintly exposed, and the wall is covered by rice stalks. Bypass the low wall, there are pines and cypresses, rare birds sing joyfully, in the pearl light and shadow, the beautiful woman is seen selling well. The nose sucks the lipid powder fragrantly, and people sigh that the red mansion is rich, why not the twelve golden hairpins here?

only said that the Son of Heaven was expensive for ten thousand years, and when he looked at Cai Jiuxiang's Mansion closely, he believed that he was so rich and noble, and he only regretted that the people from all over the world had squeezed out how much grease they had exhausted; is only hateful, three ya, six departments and nine qing, fattening up jackals.

Song Jiang looked at it coldly, secretly wondering how much people and ointment Cai Jiu had sucked and scraped before he ended up in such a courtyard, walked a few steps slowly, and then arrived at a courtyard, the gate stopped, and a rich official came out of the courtyard, asked Song Jiang's name, and then invited him into the hall.

There was no one in the hall, Song Jiang sat down for a while, heard the sound of footsteps, looked carefully, there was a rich man, although he was not confused, but his expression was chic, three locks of beard fluttered on his chest, his white face and nose were straight, he walked into it, squinted at Song Jiang, and asked, "You are Song San?" ”

Although the voice is soft, the majesty in it is not to be underestimated.

Song Jiang looked at him with a pair of eyes, only to feel that the two warm and moist eyes with a cool gaze penetrated into the bottom of his heart, as if his whole body was seen through, this shock, Song Jiang hurriedly lowered his head, and said secretly: "It's so powerful, just this kind of bearing, you know that it is not an ordinary person." ”

Thinking about it, it is also Cai Jiu's life that has risen and fallen in the sea, and his old father Cai Jingli has not fallen in the court, and there are countless party members, how can he be an idle person.

Song Jiang exhaled lightly, although he looked at his majesty, he was not afraid, he stepped forward at the moment, sang a big song, and said in a loud voice: "Villain Song Jiang, don't be presumptuous, I've seen Xianggong!" ”

Cai Jiu looked at Song Jiang's posture, his eyes narrowed slightly, and said with a smile: "Dignified, dignified, and extraordinary, no wonder Sun Jing of Jeju Mansion admires and adds to you." ”

When Song Jiang heard this, he knew that Sun Jing and Cai Jiu of Jeju Mansion had already passed the anger, and Cai Jiu already knew Song Jiang's identity and the mission to Jiangzhou.

Song Jiang and Cai Jiu didn't need to say much to gossip, and directly took out the letter from Sun Jing, the prefect of Jeju, and asked Cai Jiu to verify his identity.

Cai Jiu read the letter and knew that Sun Jing and Song Jiang had agreed to lure the snake out of the hole in Jiangzhou to wipe out the heroes of Shandong.

Putting down the letter, Cai Jiu sneered at Song Jiang and said, "It's just a group of mountain and wild grass cobs, how can they make a big move to make me out." Speaking of this, Cai Jiu's words changed, "But these people are also bold, they once robbed the Birth Gang, but I can't ignore this!" ”

Song Jiang hurriedly said: "This is to help each other, Xiao Ke saddles before and after the horse!" ”

Cai Jiu glanced at Song Jiang with a smile and said with a smile: "Governor Sun praised you a lot, there are still many things that can be used for you in this matter!" ”

Song Jiang bowed his head again and again, indicating that he obeyed his orders.

Looking at the sky, Cai Jiu said to Song Jiang again: "It's not early, I won't keep you." I'll let you know in a few days, after some discussion with my staff. ”

Song Jiang saluted Cai Jiuyi, and then got up to leave.

Cai Jiu thought about it and instructed Song Jiangdao: "If there is any news in the past few days, remember to inform me in time." I tell Menzi not to embarrass you! ”

Song Jiang thanked him for his kindness, and then left.

When he only sent Song Jiang out, Cai Jiu's close confidant asked: 'Xianggong! Why do you see this black guy? ’

Cai Jiu's eyes closed slightly, and he said: "This son is quite scheming, he doesn't learn skills, I heard that he is raising dead soldiers, this guy may be useful." But I think he has a lot of ambition, and he needs to polish it before he can use it, otherwise, the wolf loves his master. ”

The henchman said: "Then how to command." The implication is that Song Jiang will make meritorious contributions in the future, and what position will he be given.

"Dongping Mansion Inspector."

The henchman was stunned, "Didn't Xianggong say that this son is useful?" How could he be given such a patrol position. ”

"The post of inspector, although it is not as prominent as the post of the supervisor of soldiers and horses, but if you talk about real power, it is on it, a state patrols and arrests, and controls its hands, how many people can't ask for it, if he fiddles well, I can give him, not to mention the prison of soldiers and horses."

Cai Jiu said half-cut, although the position of the inspection envoy is not in the eyes of the court officials, but it is also a fat difference, and it is difficult for ordinary people to get it easily, but Cai Jiu promoted Song Jiang to be an inspection envoy, which means that he is buying a horse.

However, Song Jiang, who is dedicated to being an official, doesn't know whether he is happy or sad when he learns this news! was originally a civil official's ambition, but he ended up with a military general's future.

He was instructed, and from then on he came to direct the introduction. Let Huang Tongju come to me tomorrow! ”
