The work of Zhilin'an Mansion is indeed a tiring job, but it is also better than wandering outside. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Lin'an City in this time and space can be called the world's most populous city, which is definitely not an exaggeration.

Just over a hundred years ago, the Normans from northwestern France, led by their leader William, claimed to be the right to inherit the throne of the Anglo-Saxon emperor Edward by blood and launched a large-scale attack, as a result, William's military campaign was successful, and he became the monarch of England, William I, known as "William the Conqueror".

Under Norman rule, London finally became the capital of England in the 12th century AD.

At this time, London had just become the capital of the English region, with a population of less than 100,000 people.

At this time, the urban construction of Paris had developed to both sides of the Seine, where churches and buildings abounded, and it became the political and cultural center of the West at that time.

But the population is less than 300,000.

Originally, there was a city that could be compared to Lin'an City, Constantinople, and the population of the city here also exceeded one million.

However, war has just been experienced there.

Michael VIII, the founder of the Palaiologous dynasty known for his magical diplomacy and known as the universal spider, had just recaptured Constantinople from the Latin Empire in 1261, where he was now rebuilding the Byzantine Empire.

It is being rebuilt, and the population has been drastically reduced by the war.

Hong Qiwei Fuzun has seen too many white-skinned and blue-eyed Xiyi merchants, not new, but of course he doesn't know these data.

He only knows three things, the first is that he must stay in Lin'an City with his wife Lang and not go anywhere. The second point is to do this job well. The third point is that you must make friends with the prime minister.

In the more than 100 years of the Great Song Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty, with the gradual stabilization of the political situation, the Southern Song Dynasty returned to the atmosphere of Wen Tian and martial arts, and the problems of redundant officials in the Northern Song Dynasty appeared again.

Originally, there was a group of college students studying in the prefecture, and there were more and more officials in the prefecture, and the office space was crowded.

The successive prefects are committed to the construction of office buildings, the hall buildings are more and more abundant, there is a bridge at the entrance of the house, and dozens of buildings such as Zhonghe Hall, Youmei Hall, Xiangyuan Building, Zhushan Pavilion, Peony Pavilion, and Reading House have been built inside, from meeting and office to culture and entertainment.

Every festival, in addition to entering the palace to accompany the emperor to eat, the prefect is also responsible for having fun with the people and participating in folk activities.

For example, on the night of the Lantern Festival.

Every time at this time is the national grand event of putting lanterns, as the highest governor of a government, you can have to play among the masses, in the second watch, sit on a small sedan chair from the government, wander in the streets, come out to play the common people in front of the crowd and back to follow the ground, for a time "the drum is cheering up, the ears and eyes are dizzy".

Coupled with the crowd of onlookers, I heard that the team can be more than ten miles long, and finally the team came to the west of the city, which is now Yangbatou, where there is a temporary booth, on which there is a basin made of rice cakes, and the oil lamp is lit inside, shining dazzlingly.

The prefect here wants to ascend the high platform and say a few simple words.

No matter whether the common people love a certain prefect or which prefect they hate on weekdays, they will definitely greet each other with a smile at this time, because there will be a person with a big cloth bag behind the prefect's sedan chair, and what they like is the things in the bag, not the person sitting in the sedan chair.

The money in the bag will be distributed to people who do small business, and each person will get dozens of yuan, called "buying the market", of course, whether the person receiving the red envelope is a small merchant or a hawker, the prefect will not care, and the festival is just a happy picture.

The most painful thing is to do a good job in the patriotic public health campaign, and the face project has always been very important.

At this time, the old waterways on both sides of Wansongling had been occupied by many officials who had built them privately, and the rivers were silted up and the water was not smooth.

Moreover, the residents on both sides of the river bank have bad living habits, and often throw feces, rubble and other household garbage into the river, which often makes the smell stinky.

It affects the cityscape too much.

Hong Qiwei Fuzun ordered his subordinates to arrange for people to patrol and supervise, and when they saw someone littering, they went up to stop it, and even ran to check and inspect it in person.

On top of that, he also had to demolish the illegal buildings that encroached on the river little by little.

The court has rules, if the water flow is blocked, the responsible person must "subtract one year of grinding", and if the demolition can be successful, one year of grinding will be added.

Where can ordinary people afford to build illegal buildings, so it must be done by privileged people.

What's worse is that the imperial court doesn't give itself the privilege to carry out special rectification!

Therefore, the official position of the fourth grade is not enough in Lin'an City, and the greater the official position, the more difficult it is for them to do their ideological work.

Therefore, the crux of the problem comes out, he must have a strong backstage, and he can only choose Prime Minister Jia Rudao.

It is a natural choice to take refuge in the strongest of this period.

When his Dongshan crystal mirror was sent, Comrade Lao Jia, who was idle, was overjoyed, and he couldn't imagine that there was such a thing in the world!

At this time, Lao Jia can go to the court once in six days, and he doesn't need to salute like a hundred officials, so he goes to the court once in ten days, and he has proved that his status in the court is almost similar to that of the emperor.

Of course, historical data proves that it is not necessary to go to the early dynasty every day is the "phenomenon of power" in the Southern Song Dynasty, and it is a courtesy that every prime minister has.

But who asked him to implement the public land law?! He has offended too many big families......

In the West Lake Scenic Area, Song Lizong, who died not long ago, also built an unprecedented manor for this Prime Minister Jia, with strange flowers and plants, extremely luxurious, and full of beautiful scenery, but named "Hou Paradise".

Fan Zhongyan of the Northern Song Dynasty "The worries of the world first, and the joy of the world after the world" is well-known, but it was abused by these two people.

His Jia Mansion is across the lake from the palace, and in the morning he hears the bell of the court, and if he wants to go to the court, he will go down to the lake to get on the boat.

The boat was tied to a thick cable, and a large winch was attached to the end of the rope, and the boat did not have to paddle and support the penny when walking, and a dozen strong men pushed the winch desperately, and the boat flew like a fly, and it would be in front of the palace in a while.

He often handed over the big and small government to the big and small doormen, and he enjoyed himself in the garden every day, prostitutes, nuns, and old palace maids were all brought by him, drinking and prostituting day and night, as long as the drinking friends and gambling friends he met when he was young could enter Jiafu.

Lao Jia does not forget his roots.

At this time, he is fifty-three years old, and his body and bones are okay, and he can toss.

Prime Minister Jia Yidao once played with the Dongshan Crystal Mirror repeatedly in the middle of the day.

He took a good look at himself, and found that his beard was very clear, and the sides of the beard were relatively straight and neat, but it was a pity that there were several white whiskers in it; Then he saw that there were fine wrinkles in the corners of his eyes, and the scar from the fight with the gangsters more than twenty years ago had been covered by the wrinkles, heh, old man......

In the end, he found that this thing reflected the brightest sunlight, so he ran into the sunlight alone, dangling at the people in Jiafu, and shaking the eyes of those who passed by.

Haha, fun.

His concubines, like other women, who loved shiny objects, suddenly rushed over and grabbed them.

"Show me, show me!"

In the midst of this warbler's voice, Lao Jia held the Dongshan Crystal Mirror in his right hand, held it high in the air, and shouted: "Don't rob, don't rob!" ”

This Dongshan crystal mirror Lao Jia was originally given to no one, and he kept it for himself, but someone sent it one after another......

Later, he had a total of seven sides in his hands, and in this way, he began to divide them among the women he loved.

But there is still one person missing, this is more troublesome, one wife and six concubines, but he is gone!

If you don't give it, everyone won't give it, and if you give it, everyone will have a copy, and you can't see anyone who is unhappy.

The first to give yourself this was ...... Fearful? That Lin'an prefect??

He called a doorman and asked, "Could the first Dongshan crystal mirror be given by Hong Qiwei?" ”

"It is the ...... of Hong Qiwei Mansion"

"What do you want?"

He said: Inadvertently in the treasure city, found the Dongshan crystal mirror, and would like to ask the prime minister to learn from it...... and willing to serve the prime minister in the middle of the line......"

Prime Minister Jia Rudao smiled slightly, he was afraid of being sent abroad.

"I remember him as a local......"

"Exactly."

"Pick up some objects and tell him that everything is as he wants...... However, let's see if you can buy another Dongshan crystal mirror...... Such a good object, there is no ......"

After receiving the return gift from Prime Minister Jia Nidao, Hong Qiwei of Lin'an Mansion was overjoyed, it doesn't matter whether the object is valuable or not, the key is that he will let Prime Minister Jia Nidao remember his name!

However, he also heard Prime Minister Jia Yidao's regret, which is easy to say, he must meet Prime Minister Jia Yidao's wishes.

So, he personally found Liu Qian, the head of the treasure store, and explained the matter one by one.

"This matter is serious, if not, how can I tell you about it in the office?"

Liu Qian, the head of the treasure shop, gave a salute again and again, saying: "I will definitely be able to find ...... Don't be in a hurry......"

At the beginning, Liu Qian, the head of Jumbo Bank, didn't take it seriously.

The Dongshan Crystal Mirror is not a big object, but it is just a novelty...... Presumably, the overseas merchant didn't know about the situation of the Great Song Dynasty, and he was able to sell it in a small county town.

Moreover, he had heard that a few of them had been bought in exchange for some porcelain!

Such a good thing didn't happen to someone.

Most of the treasure shops in Lin'an City are in the upper jewelry lane and lower jewelry lane at the entrance of the official lane, which is also known as the "bank street", and most of the quality warehouses are also here.

So he went door to door to walk around the many treasures, and told Hong Fuzun one by one.

But after a few days, no one had it anymore!

Liu Qian, the head of the treasure line, was a little anxious at that time, if there is no treasure in Lin'an City, where will there be it? ?

At this time, some other small objects appeared.

For example, crystal cups, dragon glue flowers, and even small items that can be very convenient for cutting nails!

However, there has never been a Higashiyama crystal mirror...... He just wants the Dongshan Crystal Mirror!

The pride of Liu Qian, the head of the treasure line, is reasonable, which is from the outside of the inner (Miyagi) and Ningmen (north gate), the north and south of the new road, the world's pearls and jade, rare and flowers and fruits, new seafood, game, strange weapons, buying and selling clothes, calligraphy and paintings, treasures, rhino jade, the world has no one gathered here.

Tell me, what more could you want?

Even at night, the night market is the same everywhere except for the big one, but especially in front of the middle tile, selling KitKat utensils and Bose objects, no different from the daytime, and there are itinerant vendors everywhere.

As for overseas merchants, whether it is a white-skinned and blue-eyed merchant, a slave of Kunlun, or a variety of big food merchants, etc., I have also seen it, but where is there a person who looks like the Great Song Dynasty, but is just taller?

He found the person who sold goods in Lin'an for the first time, and this person had already opened a warehouse in Lin'an City......

He heard the man say that he thought that the goods of the overseas merchants had already been sold, and if not, it would be impossible for them to be so greedy for money that they would not sell them halfway......

So these days, Liu Qian, the head of the treasure store, is a little restless, and has sent people to the Qiantangmen wharf, and even the wharf outside the Jiahui Gate to guard, but the report says that most of them are now Japanese maritime merchants and Korean maritime merchants......

Fuzun sent someone to inquire in two or three days, do you think this can make people sleep well?

For a while, he didn't want to be the head of the line, but helplessly, he was appointed by the city department, which was really helpless.
