Part 2 The Elegant Career of a Corrupt Official Chapter 2139 A Man's Happiness

Zhao Xing looked at Gao Yu's lips and moved, he wanted to say: A few years later, your son Gao Yanei will also commit the crime of molesting others on the street, therefore, according to the Song criminal system, the people of the entire Bianliang City have become criminals who "can't be saved when they see danger", and they should all be exiled.

But Zhao Xingcai opened his mouth, and suddenly thought that "Water Margin" was compiled by the Ming Dynasty, and the person who compiled it measured the Song Dynasty with the thinking of the Ming Dynasty, he didn't know that the bully was actually an entertainment star in the Song Dynasty, and the purpose of its existence was to entertain the common people, and beat it up when they were idle, so as to dissipate the grievances suffered in life and sexual affairs...... In short, the real situation is: if there is really a high government in Bianliang City, then the people of Bianliang City have become criminals who "do not save themselves when they are in danger", and according to the law, the two million people in Bianliang City, Tokyo should be exiled! And the author of the Water Margin made up a high yanai, and with a slight turn of the brush, all the people in Tokyo were kidnapped by him.

But Zhao Xing still didn't open his mouth after all, because it was meaningless to say this, "Water Margin" was originally the book, and blaming others for the mistakes of the plot was purely idle and boring.

Looking at Gao Fei's back, Zhao Xing suddenly thought of his own fate, Su Shi had experienced a process of demonization, his articles and writings were destroyed, and fortunately, the Japanese and eunuch, one of the six thieves, Liang Shicheng, retained his writings, so that after Su Shi was rehabilitated, the Chinese could see the masterpiece of this great poet again.

Gao Yu was distorted with Su Shi in the era when Su Shi was slandered. Su Shidi's poetry is so charming that it is difficult for others to distort it. But Gao Yu is different, this person does not have any poems, so he is not protected by the Japanese, so in the later years he is evil, he is a bully of men and women, he is corrupt......

In this environment, can the others around Su Shi be spared?

Hard!

As far as Zhao Xing knew, the six scholars of Sumen, who were close to Su Shi, were protected by the Japanese, so their poems were not buried, and Pan Dalin, who was a little further away from Su Shi. There are not many lines of poetry left. In addition to Pan Dalin, it seems that Shen Liaozi is also one of them.

What about him? As for himself, whether he was distorted into a great corrupt official who did all kinds of evil in the years to come, even if he didn't do all kinds of evil. Others will also write him as doing all kinds of evil?

History, at times, is chilling.

A wave of anger surged up from Zhao Xing's heart, he slapped the table, pointed at the officials below and shouted: "What are you doing? Why do you have no energy, didn't you sleep well yesterday? I said, you hold the tickle board a little higher. If you are a little higher, you have to look at the people in front of you with resentment, and the board will be beaten. Like a swift horse galloping over a stone slab. There was a series of clattering sounds......"

Zhao Xing knocked on the tune of "March of the Light Cavalry" on the table, and continued: "Fight with full anger, your eyes widen, this guy in front of you has beaten your child and molested your wife...... Yes, that's it, you have to empathize. ”

The official who hit the board rounded the torture rod, that is, the tickling board as Zhao Xing said. Imitate Zhao Xing's tune. There was a delicate and loud crackling sound...... But the tune progresses to **, and it stops abruptly. The official who played the board said with a twisted expression: "Signed, I forgot to count!" ”

Everyone present had a black line on their faces, but Li San, who was tortured, was in good spirits, he lay on the ground, pulled his throat loudly, and shouted hoarsely: "My lord, I remember, I counted, he played twenty more boards." ”

The faces of several officials present immediately turned green.

In this era, which was known as the "Weak Song Dynasty", the government did not approve of severely punishing those who made small mistakes. The edict specified the size and number of rods, and also stipulated that officials could not misuse punishment on prisoners, and that if the punishment was used indiscriminately and exceeded the prescribed number, they would be impeached by the imperial historian and that the wounded person would be paid "wound medicine."

In other words, Zhao Xing has played too many boards now, and he can not apologize to the criminal, but he has to pay the other party money for the treatment of his injuries - the amount of this money is not clearly specified, and the amount depends on the official and the prisoner to discuss.

Thinking that back then, Bu Qing was rampant in Bianliang, just relying on his subordinates to fight, he was not afraid of the government beating the board, but the government was afraid of his retaliation, so even Bao Zheng couldn't do anything about him.

Now, the initiative is in the hands of Li San.

Li San was lucky that he lived in the Great Song Dynasty; Li San was unfortunate that he met the traverser Zhao Xing. Zhao Xing didn't have anything else, he produced the copper coins himself, so he put on a few more boards, it didn't matter to Zhao Xing. Zhao Xing slapped the table and shouted, "What if you fight too much?" How much is it, how much does it cost you to recuperate, I paid for it...... Well, since you have been given money to recuperate from your injuries, minor injuries are also raised, and serious injuries are also raised, so you can simply raise a serious injury - come on, continue to fight. ”

After the "indiscriminate punishment" of the officials of the Great Song Dynasty, they will be impeached, but who will impeach Zhao Xing who is present? Even if someone is impeached, is Zhao Xing afraid of impeachment? The native Song Dynasty people may take care of their reputation, but Zhao Xing is not afraid of what people say.

Li San, who was lying on his stomach in the hall, shouted very loudly, and he said angrily: "I don't want money, my lord, I don't want money...... Well, it's better not to be exiled if the penal colony is closer. ”

Zhao Xing smiled very honestly, when he saw his smile, Gao Yu was also smiling, he looked at Li San who was lying on the ground and was spanked with pity, very happy. I only heard Zhao Xing ask curiously: "You said that you beat you fifteen more boards, and only you can tell this number, who else counts?" Who are you, a criminal who can't be saved when he sees danger! Say, "Is your word credible, or is the word of the servant credible?" ”

Li San's brain is stupid, and he hasn't realized the trap in Zhao Xing's words, Gao Yu has already raised his thumb, and the officials who hit the board under the hall frequently glanced. And the stupid Li San replied honestly: "Of course, it's what the adults say." ”

Zhao Xing nodded: "In this way, you are also an honest person - I tell you honestly, the official who played the board forgot to count, I didn't forget, I just counted, no more, no less, he just hit you fifteen boards." Do you have anything to say? ”

The official understood at once, and the one who played the board immediately responded: "Who said I didn't count?" Who, huh? I knew it. No more, no less, exactly fifteen boards. ”

It was not only Li San who had been beaten too much in the hall, but the bully man had also been beaten too much, but the bully who had been brutalized in turn had completely fainted, and no one paid attention to his opinion.

Li Sanke met someone who was a scoundrel than him, and he had nothing to say, so he could only admit that he was unlucky. After dealing with this case, Zhao Xing was a little curious, what kind of posture did the girl who was touched by this bully look like...... By the way, he hasn't seen the plaintiff yet.

The plaintiff was called to court. She pulled half a handkerchief in her hand, covering the lower part of her face, and walked up to the hall with a twisted pinch, her face sinking. Zhao Xing stretched out his index finger, hooked his finger, and motioned for the other party to put down the handkerchief...... As soon as the handkerchief was put down, Zhao Xing's first thought was to find a basin to vomit.

Oh my God, this bully's taste is unique enough, and he actually touched a little lady who resembles Sister Fleur?!

No wonder, no wonder. I said how I came across such a rare case of molestion on the street. This kind of person may be afraid of not being molested, occasionally. It's like hitting a molesting man like a big luck. The whole world knows what is going to be proclaimed. This bully man is also unlucky, good or not, in a not very remote alley, let his hand fall on this girl's ass, he deserves it!

Actually, Zhao Xing was strange just now, the molestation should be on an empty street. How can the bully's flirtation be in the alley where there are more than a dozen people. As a result, people were beaten into a ball of slugs, now. He got it all.

Hit it all, so what's there! This bully's taste deserves to be beaten. Well, it seems that when the case was tried just now, the other party's lips squirmed desperately, perhaps trying to explain...... But now it's completely unnecessary.

When the officials saw Sister Furong in the Song Dynasty appear, they were all snickering, but Zhao Xing looked annoyed, and Gao Yu looked calm, which made them want to laugh but didn't dare to laugh.

"Interesting! Interesting", Zhao Xing couldn't straighten up with a smile.

The case reported that day was somewhat similar to the harassment case, but the first prisoner was beaten badly by Zhao Xing regardless of the reason, and as soon as the result came out, the other prisoners began to apply for the withdrawal of the prosecution. They used a huge amount of money to buy off the plaintiff, turning the matter into a big deal and a small matter. In the atmosphere of wild laughter, the Hangzhou Yamen has very few cases that should be handled.

On October 16, the sixth day after the Tianning Festival, the first snow finally fell in Hangzhou.

The day of the snow - in the Song Dynasty, the day of the snow land, means the day of the money.

It snows heavily, and the people in the cities have to enjoy the allowance issued by the government - for this kind of allowance, the courtiers have all kinds of arguments, and those who are in favor of the excerpt, and the content of the excerpt translated in modern language is: the taxpayers usually pay taxes to the government, but when it snows and the weather is cold, the people are unwilling to go out, and they stay at home, and there is no income and income.

This kind of thinking is called "republican" in modern times, or "Westernized thought of all evils", but in the Song Dynasty it was called "sage and benevolence".

On days when the snow fell, the people of Bianliang City could get 10 yuan per liter of rice per household, or simply 20 yuan. The price of Hangzhou city is a little lower, last year's snowy days in the seven pennies, this year Su Shi presided over the government affairs, he felt that the people of Hangzhou only after a hardship, an extra penny, in order to let the people buy charcoal salary.

Su Dongpo said this, after he finished instructing Zhao Xing, he raised his feet and took Qin Guan and walked towards the yamen, he needed to meet the money who was degraded out of Beijing, and the specific task of distributing coins was handed over to Zhao Xing and Gao Yu.

Originally, there were more than 50,000 households, or about 350,000 people, but this year, 200,000 people were transferred from the renovation of the river, bringing the total number to about 600,000. With such a huge population, it is impossible for one person to send out the money in one day, but Zhao Xing has already reorganized these populations according to his own ideas before the winter and set up a multi-level management system, so he doesn't need to send money to every person, just send money to seven people.

Originally, Hangzhou was divided into twenty-three townships, and Zhao Xing merged several neighboring townships into a large region before the end of the year, and each region had a few townships under its jurisdiction, so he only needed to send money to the chief of the region.

Eight Wen per household. 1,000 households are only 8 guan money, 10,000 households 80 guan, 100,000 households 800 guan, every day - this is the "poor" Song Dynasty. Every time it snows throughout the winter, it is necessary to send money to the people, and the snow does not stop, and the money does not stop, although the money is small, it is also a piece of the government's concern for the people.

The chiefs of the various districts filled their baskets with copper coins and were escorted to their own areas by the officials. They will distribute the money. After these people left, Zhao Xing put on his coat and rode with Gao Yu to inspect the four townships.

This work was a must for the magistrates of the Song Dynasty, because many houses in the Song Dynasty were adobe houses. Only wealthy families can live in wooden houses, and the snow is heavy, and it is easy to crush the huts, so the officials must use the effort of distributing coins to inspect the four villages, and when they see the dilapidated houses crushed by the snow, they must invite the people in the houses to special shelters.

I forgot to explain. The first refuge for the common people in ancient China was also built by Su Shi, who used the financial surplus to run several welfare nursing homes early. Supporting the elderly and orphans. When the snow is falling, those who live in dilapidated houses can go to the government-run shelter to drink hot porridge, and when they are sick, they can go to the first free medical institution in ancient China run by Su Shi to get medical treatment.

The first snow is very cold, and the cold penetrates into the cracks of the human bones, and such the first snow cannot be stored on the ground, and when it falls to the ground, it turns into cold rain, making the ground look very muddy. Gao Yu was wearing a robe. Sitting on his horse, he shivered as he watched the horses trude through the mud. Said worriedly: "Brother Liren, this horse ...... I've heard that every time the climate changes, a number of horses get sick and die, and you're okay with this horse? ”

Zhao Xing looked at the surrounding scene and replied absentmindedly: "That's because they don't know about horses - let me tell you, there are hundreds of breeds of horses, which are simply too numerous." There are southern horses, there are northern horses, there are tropical horses, there are jungle horses, there are desert horses...... This horse is a very delicate animal, and it would be foolish to let the horse adapt to the climate on its own.

War horses that have been bred in different environments for hundreds of years have adapted to different environments, and tropical horses are brought to the north, and they will naturally not adapt to climate change. For example, the Arabian horse has a short nose, and in cold climates, the cold air is poured into the lungs before it is heated, so it will die of illness when it snows.

As for our horses, rest assured, our horses are northern horses, which are bred to live on the islands of the Wakoku Kingdom further north, and adapt to the cold and humid climate, which makes it like a fish in water. ”

Zhao Xing was looking around as he answered, and at this time, the chief and the head of the house near the county government had already begun to take the officials to distribute charcoal wages from house to house, and some vendors had already gathered around the streets and alleys where the money was distributed, waiting for the people to use the money to buy charcoal and food. Whenever Zhao Xing passed through a street, he would always bow his head and talk to the officials and ask the people what difficulties they had.

It's a show.

Zhao Xing originally closed himself in the castle, the people of Hangzhou knew that he was powerful, and they were afraid but stayed away, this time Zhao Xing just took this opportunity to get closer to the people of Hangzhou, so he planned to go to all the villages.

This walk, until the middle of the night, Gao Yu was already too cold to move, his lips were soaked and his lips were frozen blue, and he was finally carried back to the castle, but Zhao Xing seemed to be in high spirits.

The women of the castle had been waiting for the two to return, and they had boiled the hot water, and as soon as they had returned home, they urged them to take off their soaked coats, pour the hot water into the large wooden barrel, and boil the hot wine and tea, and wait until they had regained their strength.

It was the widow who served the two of them to bathe. When it comes to serving people, the Japanese women are called the first, and no one dares to call them the second, they always bring the wine cup and teacup to the people's teeth, so that people can lie there and drink tea and wine without any trouble. In addition to this, there are also dishes, the two people in the large wooden barrel do not have to raise their hands at all, their eyes sweep to the dish, as long as they stay for more than three seconds, the widow will immediately hold a chopstick dish to their lips, and the only action they need to do is chew.

Gao Yu was about to moan when he was rubbed by the widow, and he continued to praise: "This is enjoyment, today's snow...... It's worth it. I used to hear that the widow was gentle, but it was a golden house to hide the beauty, and never let me enjoy it, but today I know the beauty of the widow. ”

Zhao Xing lay in the big wooden barrel, closed his eyes and said, "Do you know what the Wa State says about their Wa Girls-the well-dressed Tang system, the courtesy of the Han monarchs. The Japanese maiden waited for the bath, and the Japanese people thought that it was a kind of etiquette - it was a Han ceremony. So you shouldn't praise the Japanese women, you should praise the Han system, the Han rites. ”

Gao Yu was leisurely fascinated: "A man was born in the Han Dynasty and enjoys happiness." ”

Zhao Xing still closed his eyes and hummed: "The happiest era for men is this era......"

After a pause, he added: "Actually, the happiest thing for women is also this era, the willow tops on the moon, and the people are about after dusk - what a happy life!" ”

Zhao Xing also wanted to say: "Born as a grass people, living in this era is also happy, on a snowy day, the government supports you, you just lie on the bed and breathe, the copper plate will naturally fall into your arms, and the government has no idea of levying a breath tax." ”

This era is called the Song Dynasty.

In the distance, the faint music still did not subside, Zhao Xing's muscles softened, and he began to be interested in caring about the people next to him, he asked lazily: "Who is playing music, three watches in the middle of the night, why don't you sleep?" ”

A widow girl lay on the ground, put her forehead on the ground, and replied with a bow and arrow: "It's Master Su, I heard that he held a banquet to welcome Lord Qian Mufu in the capital, and Master Qin was also among them, and they started drinking since the afternoon, singing the music of the group from the capital." Liao Zhipo is accompanied, Changmen Palace, do you need to tell them to stop? ”
