Two days later, the news that the Huizhou Mansion, which was only more than 100 miles away from Lin'an City, was suddenly shaken, the city was completely destroyed, the rivers were cut off, and the people were killed and injured reached Lin'an City.

When the news came, the government and the opposition were shaken.

Three or five days later, more reports of the disaster continued to reach Lin'an City.

In addition to the city of Huizhou suffered from the ground movement, the large and small cities and towns within a radius of 50 miles near the city of Huizhou were all affected by the ground movement, and the number of people destroyed in the city and villages was unknown.

After the catastrophe, the green forest bandits in Huizhou who were originally hidden in the deep mountains and old forests escaped the catastrophe, and took this opportunity to swarm up, constantly attacking the state capitals of Jiangnan East Road near Huizhou, attacking the city and grabbing grain and occupying the land, but in a few days, it seems that it has gradually become a trend.

For a time, the governments on Jiangnan East Road were in an emergency, and various documents such as requesting the imperial court to allocate funds, allocate grain, transfer troops to suppress bandits, and disaster relief flew to Lin'an City, the imperial city standing high in the middle of the city.

Three days later, Zhao Yun finally had a will from the imperial city.

It is said that in these three days, Zhao Yun, who was furious and thunderous, smashed countless things, even including his favorite jade inkstone. Of course, Jia Rudao didn't see it with his own eyes, he listened to what others said, and the person who told him was sitting in front of him at the moment.

"Temporarily take the prefect of Lin'an Prefecture? I? ”

Jia Rudao pointed to his nose, looked at Shi Songzhi and Yu Tianxi, who were there in disbelief, and exclaimed.

He was indeed surprised. The prefect of Lin'an Prefecture is the high position of the three products. Although it has always been thankless, and the ass will definitely not sit for long, it is still a third-grade official after all, and it is still a real one.

If it's nothing else, even if it's for the official rank of the third grade, it's okay to gild. Those who have been the prefect of Lin'an Prefecture, even if it is only for one year, are either promoted to the governor of the government and the vice minister of the court, or they are released to become a certain way to appease the officials of the party and seal the territory.

How many people are staring at a good thing, how can they just give themselves this qualifications without qualifications to the background...... Okay, there's a backstage, but it's obviously not hard enough.

Shi Songzhi and Yu Tianxi didn't speak, and the two looked at Jia Yidao with a little amusement.

"Shi Xian, above the court discussion, in fact, it was not the old man and the son who recommended the Shi Xian to temporarily take the position of the prefect of Lin'an, but Qiao Xiang and others took the lead in proposing, and the rest of the counselors were all in favor, and the old man and the son were ...... Unable to change the will of the officials. ”

Qiao Xingjian? even supported himself to temporarily take the prefect of Lin'an Prefecture?

"Well, I probably know what's going on. How can I, Jia Shixian, be so tired that the prime ministers of the DPRK and China can be so supportive? Hehe, presumably Yu Gong and Shi Xiang won't stay in Lin'an City, right? ”

Jia Rudao chuckled with a cold face and slowly sat down, rubbed his forehead, and looked up at the two of them.

"The official family has issued an edict to order the son to personally lead the imperial army to the state capital on Jiangnan East Road to suppress bandits, and the old man will go to Huizhou in person to preside over disaster relief in accordance with the official will."

Yu Tianxi did not deny it, and nodded solemnly.

"So, in other words, I, the temporary prefect of Lin'an Mansion, not only can't get any help, but I also have to guard against someone behind me from shooting cold arrows at any time?" Jia Rudao was very dissatisfied in his words.

The location of the prefect of Lin'an Prefecture, if there was no earthquake, was indeed a position that everyone coveted, but now, it is a chicken position. If you don't get it right, losing the black gauze hat may just be the best result.

After Shi Songzhi told Jia Rudao to give more snacks to the Detective Department last time, although Jia Rudao did not find the Rongwang Mansion to see the Wangfu Mr. Xi Xiyuan, he would also go to the Privy Council every two or three days to check the various military intelligence reports of the Detective Division.

After the earthquake, a large number of homeless victims were formed in the border of more than 100 miles near Huizhou, and some of the victims were coerced by the bandits who rose up and fell into the grass. However, there are many more victims who are flocking to Lin'an Mansion in desperation due to lack of food and clothing.

According to the information of the Investigation Department, in only six or seven days, more than 200,000 people from Huizhou and other places will enter the territory of Lin'an Prefecture. And the final destination of these victims does not need to be considered, it must and can only come to Lin'an City.

There are more than 200,000 refugees, and in Jia Rudao's view, the Detective Department may only report a fraction of them.

Since the last time Zhao Yun ordered Zhao Qi's palace soldiers to drive out the begging victims in the city, there is no place for beggars in Lin'an City, but the beggars outside the city are still beggars after all, and as far as Jia Yidao knows, the number of beggars has been increasing, although it is very slow, but the increase in the number is a fact.

If it weren't for Yu Tianxi's arrangement for household officials to give porridge every day, I am afraid that there would have been corpses all over the city of Lin'an by now.

The biggest crisis has not yet emerged.

That is, after the earthquake in the south of the Yangtze River, which has not rained for several months, the rivers have been cut off, so the drought situation can only become more and more serious. In the past, the bigwigs in the court were not seen from time to time, and the local government was desperately trying to cover it up.

The bandits on Jiangnan East Road this time are raging, and I am afraid that there will soon be a greater wave of victims coming towards Lin'an City, even if some of the surrounding state capitals can divert some of the victims, but Lin'an City will inevitably be the first choice for those victims.

At the feet of the Son of Heaven, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty couldn't watch his people starving, freezing and even corpses all over the ground in Lin'an City, right?

Although things have not yet appeared, Jia Yidao can already imagine that in only a month or two at the latest, a larger and more wave of victims will definitely appear under Lin'an City.

At this point, he believed that Qiao Xingjian, Shi Songzhi and others actually knew it in their hearts. After all, he could see the letter of the Detective Division, maybe Qiao Xingjian and Shi Songzhi could see it in more detail.

Qiao Xingjian, Li Mingfu and others pushed him out, although he was annoyed in his heart, but there was nothing he could do. Although his qualifications are still shallow, as a general judge of Lin'an Prefecture, he can indeed be regarded as a candidate for the prefect of Lin'an Prefecture.

Therefore, although Qiao Xingjian and others strongly recommended him to temporarily lead the prefect of Lin'an Mansion, everyone knew that there was a lot of tricks in it, but at least on the bright side, he couldn't find any fault.

However, doesn't Zhao Yun know that this is a pit? How could you say yes?

"Shi Xian shouldn't worry too much. Although the old man is not in Lin'an City, he can still speak in the household. The old man has ordered all the offices of the household department to fully cooperate with Shi Xian, as long as there is a household treasury, Shi Xian can rest assured. And Ziyou also asked for the command of the front division of the palace from the official family for Shi Xian, who is now not only the prefect of Lin'an Prefecture, but also the commander of the front division of the palace. ”

Yu Tianxi comforted Jia Rudao.

Don't worry about what you have in the household warehouse? But what is most lacking is food, do you have it? Are there any other types of drugs? Although Yu Tianxi didn't say it, Jia Rudao knew that in addition to some large numbers of people who were about to rot, I am afraid that there would not be much to find in the current household department.

Zhao Yun's inner library?

Well, the idea of beating Zhao Yun's inner library is better to take off Zhao Yun's **** directly and come directly.

What's more, even if Zhao Yun's inner treasury has silver, there is not much left. Otherwise, Zhao Yun knew that the Dao Huizi had caused public resentment to boil, and he still had to issue millions of Huizi to support Meng Hui's battle of Xiangyang?

Jia Rudao did not speak with a bitter face.

"Shi Xian, this incident, the old man and Yu Gong were unexpected. After Duke Yu was promoted to the governor, he should have stepped down from the position of prefect of Lin'an, except for the old man Qiao who has been obstructing him, His Majesty has not allowed it to drag on until now. The old man didn't expect that Old Horse Qiao would do such a thing.

However, Shi Xian is relieved. Although the household department and the treasury are empty, and most of the grain, herbs and other materials have been transferred to Huangzhou and other places to prepare for the battle of Xiangyang, there are countless rich merchants and gentry in Lin'an City, and the old man of the grain merchant still knows a few people. ”

Shi Songzhi's words are obviously much more constructive than Yu Tianxi's words.

"Xie Lu, Xie Shixiang." Jia Rudao hugged his fists and saluted, "But, Shi Xiang, Yu Gong, even if Shi Xian doesn't say it, presumably the two of you also know that every time there is a catastrophe, most of the rich businessmen and gentry from all over the country will do things that strange things to live in, hoard food, herbs and other things, and wait to make a fortune." If you want them to let go, it will not be easy. ”

"This ......"

Shi Songzhi didn't expect that Jia Yidao was even thinking about these facts, and he knew these facts well, so he glanced at Yu Tianxi, but he didn't know how to say it.

Which of those wealthy merchants and gentry is not inextricably linked with the important ministers of the court? It's really a matter of pulling the whole body, and if they really don't want to lend a hand, there's really nothing they can do.

"Hehe, this matter is bothered by Shi Xiang, and Shi Xian has to find out what their tone is first. It is enough for them to sell grain and other goods to Shi Xian at a flat price. ”

Jia Rudao's eyes flashed and he said with a smile.

"Good! The old man will arrange it. ”

Yu Tianxi looked worried, and sold it at a low price? Is there any silver in the household or in the treasury? Obviously not, there are a lot of Huizi, but how could those businessmen agree to use Huizi to buy grain?

……

In the early summer of April of the second year of Jiaxi, the earthquake in Huizhou, the displaced people were everywhere, and the Great Song Emperor Zhao Yun issued an edict: promoted Shi Songzhi to the right prime minister, the special Jin Ziguanglu doctor, the scholar of the Guanwen Palace, and the Privy Council, and supervised the affairs of the five states such as Shiguang, Qi, Huang, Kui, Shi, etc., and unified the 100,000 imperial army to go south to exterminate the displaced people; Yu Tianxite entered the Golden Purple Guanglu Doctor, the Guanwendian University Scholar, and was responsible for disaster relief and other matters on behalf of the Tianxun Jiangnan East Road; Li Zongmian, the governor of the Jin Staff, is the special Jin Ziguanglu doctor; Jin Jia seems to be a straight bachelor of Fuwen Pavilion, and temporarily leads the prefect of Lin'an Prefecture.

When the edict was issued, all the people were shocked, there were those who were surprised, and there were also those who gloated.

Although Cui He, the former right prime minister who has always been pacified by Guangzhou and occupied by Cui He but has never returned to the DPRK to take office, although this edict does not explicitly say that he will be abolished from the position of right prime minister, but the left and right prime ministers are not other official ranks, there can be many people, since Shi Songzhi has been promoted to the right prime minister and the Privy Council, then the abolition of Cui He's right prime minister is only a handful of times later.

At the same time, Qiao Xingjian, who was still in the left phase, had been deprived of the position of privy envoy, and the right prime minister Shi Songzhi led the privy council, which also opened a precedent for the Great Song Dynasty.

Of course, Li Zongmian specially entered the Golden Purple Guanglu Doctor, and he is still participating in political affairs, it seems that the emperor has made a decision on the position of Prime Minister Zuo.

Everyone knows that Shi Songzhi is already the right prime minister, and according to the practice of the Great Song Dynasty, there has never been a precedent for anyone to be transferred from the right prime minister to the left prime minister, so that is to say, Shi Songzhi has lost the qualification of the left prime minister, and Li Zongmian will obviously be the left prime minister selected by Zhao Yun if nothing else.

However, although Shi Songzhi lost the position of the left prime minister, he led the Privy Council as the right minister, which can be regarded as the only one.

What really makes people fall through the glasses is Jia Nidao. You have to know Lu Dao, but a few months ago, Jia Rudao was just a worthless Tian Ling. This Tian Ling is not even a servant, but it is such a small official who is not even a small official, but in just a few months, he has become a straight official who has never been worth a penny to a straight bachelor of the Fuwen Pavilion with the rank of three ranks, and the prefect of Lin'an Mansion who is a third grade.

Okay, this prefect of Lin'an Mansion is only temporary, and it is not a real job, but the straight bachelor of Fuwen Pavilion is a real third-rank rank. Although the straight bachelor of Fuwen Pavilion is the most worthless one among the Longtu, Tianzhang, Baowen, Xianmo, Huiyou, and Fuwen Pavilion, no matter how you say it, you are also in the cabinet.

Only some people know that not long ago, on the shore of the West Lake, dozens of poems were written angrily in one breath, and the faces of a cadre, especially Qiao Xiang's beloved grandson, were slapped on the face, and many scholars regarded as the first genius of the Great Song Dynasty, Jia Rudao, temporarily led the prefect of Lin'an Mansion.

Those who shake their heads and sigh are likewise.

……

What was going on outside, Jia seemed to be unclear, and he didn't have time to care about them. What kind of trend was caused after making dozens of poems, he didn't want to know Lu Dao, he only knew that Lu Dao was very busy, unprecedentedly busy.

"Brother Zheng, but I didn't expect to see you again so soon?"

Jia Rudao stood at the door of the Lin'an Mansion, looked at Zheng Mingxuan who came from the patio, and said with a smile.

"The villain Zheng Huaijin has seen Lord Fuzun."

Zheng Mingxuan looked at Jia Yidao, who was greeted at the door of the mansion hall, and his eyes were a little complicated.

The last time we met, it was he who took the liberty to come to the door, and at that time he already knew that this smile that made you unable to see through the depth of the young magnate would definitely rise to prominence, but he didn't expect it to be so fast.

This is the second time we have met, and I was invited by him, and it has only been a month since we met for the first time. However, at this moment, this young man who stood at the door of the lobby to greet him was not only promoted to the prefect of Lin'an, but also entered the cabinet.

The Great Song Dynasty has been established for hundreds of years, and it is not clear in the future, at least in the matter of entering the cabinet, this young uncle is no longer ancient.

Just, is it really that simple?

Thinking of the rumors he had heard in the past few days, and some of the things he had heard during the banquet of some big businessmen and tycoons, Zheng Mingxuan was a little helpless in his heart.

In the Lin'an Mansion, Jia Rudao sat in the main seat, Zheng Mingxuan sat in the lower guest seat, and opposite Zheng Mingxuan sat Yu Ci, Zhou Tan, Yang Duo and Qin Shou in turn.

Jia Rudao is obviously not a person who only knows how to suffer.

On the second day after Zhao Yun officially issued the order, he directly found the Qinzheng Palace. After spending more than two hours alone with Zhao Yun in the Qinzheng Palace, Jia Rudao left satisfied.

On the third day, the officials began to write one after another.

Yu Ci, the former governor of Lin'an Prefecture, was promoted to Lin'an Prefecture, Jinshi Zhou Tan was awarded the same governor of Lin'an Prefecture, Jinshi Yang Duo was awarded as the governor of Lin'an Prefecture, and Jinshi Qin Shouguan was appointed as the governor of Lin'an Prefecture.

Although they are all small officials, it goes without saying that the sensation caused by the Wuxu scholars is really a person who has attained the Tao and ascended to heaven.

The most shocking thing is that Qin Shou, who offended Jia Nidao and groveled the most, really got Jia Nidao's appreciation, and became the governor of Lin'an Mansion with six products.

"Presumably, Brother Zheng knows in his heart why Shi Xian invited Brother Zheng to come over to the house today?"

When a few people sat down, Jia Rudao didn't talk nonsense, but went straight to the point.

Shi Songzhi and Qiao Xingjian have already left Lin'an City.

In addition to the 100,000 imperial troops, Shi Songzhi and Qiao Xingjian also had seventy percent and nearly eighty percent of the silver in the few remaining grains in the treasury of the Great Song Dynasty, and half of this silver was Huizi.

Before Shi Songzhi left, he introduced some famous wealthy merchants and giants in Lin'an Mansion, and these wealthy merchants mastered nearly half of all kinds of trade in Lin'an Mansion and even the Great Song Dynasty, such as grain, silk, tea, porcelain, medicinal materials, etc.

The referral process is great, but the result is ...... No.

In front of Shi Songzhi, although those people said well, Jia Rudao knew from their looks that those nice words were just prevarications, and if these people really wanted to take out real money, it would be more difficult than ascending to the sky.

And Shi Songzhi and Qiao Xingjian just came to open Lin'an City, and Yu Ci, who was instructed by Jia Nidao to pay close attention to the prices of various commodities in Lin'an Mansion and even in the entire Jiangnan, had already reported to Jia Nidao, and merchants from all walks of life basically only entered and could not leave, only income, but all stores were hung with signs that there was no goods to sell. There were still as many cargo ships entering Lin'an City, but there were no grains or medicinal materials on the market.

There are all kinds of signs that those big businessmen are already hoarding commodities, especially grain, in preparation for the next big price hike. And several of these big merchants who hoard grain are giant businessmen who kept saying at the banquet that they would go bankrupt and share the country's worries.

The cunning and greed of the merchant can be seen from this.

At this time, Jia Rudao naturally thought of Zheng Mingxuan, who took the initiative to come to the door.

Zheng Mingxuan is indeed a well-known businessman in Lin'an City, even Jiangnan, Guangzhou and other places, especially in grain, silk, and medicinal materials, and has a decisive influence in the shopping malls of the Great Song Dynasty.

Such a person who can be used very well at this moment, how could Jia Rudao give up?
