"Why is that?" Song Shenzong wondered, this kid is really strange, after saying so much, he is still the same as before, as long as he has money, he doesn't want officials? Being an official does not take money the same, even if Jiang Shilang is the lowest-ranking civil official, the salary of the officials of the Great Song Dynasty is still very generous.

"Your Majesty, Uncle Caomin's family has an eldest brother, and I also have an elder brother in my family, and they are not official now, how can I have the audacity to accept this official position?" Cai Dao naturally found a reason early on, and this reason is quite great, even the emperor is not good at what to say.

"I see!" Since this is the case, Song Shenzong is not easy to say anything, not to mention, he no longer insists on Cai Dao as the companion of the servant.

No, just a moment of effort, this kid made Zhao Maid behave so gaffely in front of the ministers, although it is excusable, but what if this kid brings Zhao Maid badly?

"Your Majesty, when will the reward be given to me, the grass people will go back after taking their things, and they will not go home soon." Cai Dao completed the task, and what he wanted to do most now was to take his things and prepare to run away, saving him from any extraneous branches.

But Song Shenzong didn't pay attention to him anymore, but said to the ministers in the palace: "Presumably, you Aiqing must be very strange, why do I give such a high reward to this doll who is less than six years old? Shi Deyi, do you want to read it to everyone? ”

"No! Your Majesty! Shi Deyi agreed, flashed to the left hand side of the imperial collapse, faced the ministers, took out the manuscript that had been prepared and read it.

As usual, Cai Dao still couldn't understand what Shi Deyi said, but he could guess from just a few words that it was roughly his own 'great achievements' in the Xinghua Army over the years.

The ministers below are naturally not Cai Dao, who is semi-illiterate, and they can understand everything as soon as Shi has to read things, but after listening to it, they all feel that this is just a rumor and an exaggeration, and most of the ministers think that these rumors are all credited to this doll by the knowledge of the Xinghua Army.

Unlike the Ming and Qing dynasties, "non-Jinshi do not enter the Hanlin, and non-Hanlin does not enter the cabinet, the officials of the Song Dynasty all started from the low, from the county order or judge to the prefect, the governor or the prefect, and finally had the opportunity to enter the capital and become the prime minister or privy envoy. Therefore, these officials are no strangers to the matter of crops, and they don't believe in the yield of rice per mu mentioned in the manuscript at all, not to mention an average of 5 stone per mu, even 4 stone is absolutely impossible in the land of Fujian.

You must know that above this hall, there are many officials who are Cai Dao's fellow countrymen.

Six stone rice, as soon as you hear it, you know it's a fantasy.

As soon as the manuscript was read, the Tobe squire immediately jumped out and said, "Your Majesty, this must be a rumor. The Xinghua Army has already paid off this year's two taxes, and this year's two taxes are only slightly higher than in previous years. Ignorant women and children in the countryside are easily deceived and spread such lies. Please Your Majesty must send someone to investigate strictly, and anyone who spreads rumors will not be spared. Tobe Shirou said as he squinted at Cai Dao.

The look, the tone, and the demeanor almost didn't point at Cai Dao's nose and scolded him for being the demon boy who spread rumors.

The conservative ministers were excited, and they all came forward to denounce the content of this manuscript, and the meaning was roughly the same as what the Tobe squire said, and even named Cai Dao as the one who spread the rumors, and it was not enough for the people to be angry if they were not killed. And those law-changers, they don't believe it themselves, so naturally they won't be stupid enough to jump out and relieve Cai Dao.

But Song Shenzong didn't speak, and he didn't know what he was thinking. In fact, he himself was a little unconvinced.

After all, Dean and his subordinates were standing on the face of fame, and it was difficult to integrate into the common people in official uniforms at that time, and this manuscript was compiled from some rumors they had heard. Now, the key point is that the unlucky Imperial City Division's subordinates sent out by Shi Deyi have not returned, so it is impossible to determine the authenticity of these rumors.

"Your Majesty, it's all made up by the goddesses in the countryside, do you look at the grass people's little arms and legs, like a person who can farm?" has already made extraneous branches, so as not to have too many daily dreams, Cai Dao immediately took the initiative to stand up and deny all this.

"If that's the case, then I'm going to take all the rewards back, doll, are you willing?" Song Shenzong couldn't have imagined that Cai Dao would say this.

"Ugh! Your Majesty, the grass people retire! However, can you send someone to send the grass people out, I came to the main hall in a daze early in the morning, and I don't remember the way I came? Cai Dao wanted to slip away immediately, but suddenly remembered that he didn't know the road.

"Doll, your father is here, where do you want to go?" The old man Sun Juesun looked at the grandson of his old friend, and felt a little emotion in his heart, just now I thought that this son was a little greedy for money, but I didn't expect this child to be so decisive, but he followed the old king's temperament, but unfortunately it was a Luo pot. Now that I have missed this opportunity, I am afraid it will be difficult to become an official in the future.

As soon as Old Man Sun stopped like this, Cai Dao thought that this was really the case. However, he didn't find Cai Bian's name after walking around the hall with his eyes, and he didn't know which corner his cheap father was hiding in, so he asked, "Uh! Old man Sun, which one is my father? ”

When Cai Dao said this, the ministers who heard it were all stunned, and some didn't know their own father. However, after thinking about it carefully, it suddenly dawned on me that this kid really didn't know his own father.

"Rebel, don't come back yet!" At this moment, a stern voice came from the lower part of the civil service group.

Cai Dao looked at it, turned his head sideways and asked Sun Jue in a low voice: "Old man Sun, is it him?" ”

"Doll, go quickly!" Sun Jue nodded with the short beard under his chin and said with a smile.

"Thank you, Mr. Sun! Your Majesty, the grass people really have to retire this time! Cai Dao sang a big fat promise to the two, then walked on his short legs and quickly ran to the person who spoke just now: "Daddy, the child is here to salute you!" After speaking, Cai Dao could only stubbornly kneel down and kowtow to Cai Bian a few times.

"Hmmm! Get up! Stand aside first! Cai Bian couldn't hear the joy and anger when he said this, but Cai Dao still saw a trace of disgust on his face......

"Retreat!" Under Shi Deyi's sharp voice, today's early dynasty is over, Song Shenzong, the freshly baked Yan'an County King Xiao Zhao Maid, and then these adults left the Qinzheng Hall one by one according to their official ranks. And Cai Dao also left the hall behind Cai Bian, and his uncle Cai Jing exchanged a few words with a few good officials, and he didn't care about celebrating his promotion, so he immediately caught up from behind.

Out of the palace gate, Cai Dao followed Cai Bian to their carriage, and he seized the opportunity to say: "Father, a few of my entourages may be waiting for me in front of the palace gate, see if you send someone to inform them." ”

"What's the matter with a few subordinates?" Cai Bian was frightened by Cai Dao's performance in the court, and he was upset for a while, how could he take care of a few subordinates.

Cai Dao didn't expect Cai Bian to say this, so he hurriedly defended: "Father, they are the grandsons of Cai Xi, the fourth housekeeper, and they are all children, it is freezing outside, in case they freeze to death......

"Okay, Cai Xiang, you arrange someone to look for it, and take it home after you find it." Cai Bian interrupted Cai Dao's words and instructed his personal scholar. This Cai Xiang is also the slave of the Cai family, and the eldest son of Cai Lu of the second official family. By the way, the eldest son of the fourth housekeeper Cai Xi is named Cai Yi, that is, the father of Cai Basket and Cai Ban.

"One is a teenage boy, dark and strong and a little silly, and the other is thin and small, like a little monkey, easy to recognize." Cai Dao was afraid that the people sent by Cai Xiang would not recognize him, so he shouted loudly.

Cai Bian got into Cai Jing's carriage, and I didn't know what the two brothers were discussing, so Cai Dao could only sit in Cai Bian's carriage alone. Although this carriage is larger than Cai Dao's one, and the handlebar-style craftsmanship is much better, the carriage of that era definitely did not have a shock absorption system, and Cai Dao died and came back to life along the way, so that he didn't spit out the dim sum he had just eaten in the Qinzheng Palace.

There was nothing to say all the way, and certainly no one spoke to him. It took a long time to come to Cai Mansion in Bianliang City.

The whole Bianliang City is basically rich in the east and expensive in the south, and of course there are rich families or officials living in the north and west, but they are basically close to the city gate or the Wuzhang River and the Bianhe River. The two Cai mansions are just outside the Liang Gate in the west of the city, and Cai Daoren can't see the whole picture.

At noon, the surrounding streets are quite bustling, with people coming and going, and it is not uncommon to see some poor people in rags. There is no way, this is the characteristic of Bianliang City in the Great Song Dynasty, if it was Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty, it would not be like this.

Although the Cai brothers are upstarts, their families are not wealthy, and of course they can't afford to buy a mansion in Bianliang City, where every inch of land is expensive, and their official positions at this time are not up to the standard of the official imperial mansion. Cai Dao's grandfather, Cai Zhun, has no detailed records in history, and generally speaking, even if he is a scholar, he has been an official. The Cai brothers were able to be admitted to the Jinshi at the same time, and they really have to thank their brother Cai Xiang.

When I entered Cai's Mansion, I realized that there was a lot of space in the cave. It is clear that this is a medium quadrangle. There is a shadow wall, the main house on the north side is five houses, and the east and west wings are three houses. It is likely that he had already been instructed by Cai Bian, and as soon as Cai Dao arrived in the inner courtyard, he was led by his subordinates to the smallest room in the West Wing.

It seems that this small house is where I will live in the future.

As soon as he entered the house, he saw something. The house is relatively new, it may have been cleaned up in a hurry, the cleaning was very sloppy, and the house not only exuded a sour smell, but the air was full of dust in the corners. These subordinates don't know how to sprinkle some water when they sweep the floor, and after sweeping, the dust will still fall.

The tables and chairs in the room are quite complete, but they are all rags. Although the table was missing a leg, he casually found a firewood to support it underneath, and it looked flat, but looking at the only chair in the room, Cai Dao was angry. It's too much, not to mention the lack of two legs, it's also the firewood that is supported underneath, and it sways when the wind blows, so you can't be a human at all.

The teapot and bowl on the table look like a large teapot and a porcelain bowl for the next person.

He came to the bed, and as soon as he sat on the bed, it creaked, the quilt was half-old and not new, and it was very clean, but it was not used for a long time, and it smelled a little musty.

Is this still a father and mother?
