Volume 3 Jiang Nandang Chapter 239 [Departure]
The efficiency of the official yamen in various parts of the Great Song Dynasty has always been very unsuccessful, but at present, the mobilization speed of the Huangzhou Mansion has obviously exceeded everyone's expectations.
On July 26, Huang Jie, the nephew of the lord of Huangzhou, married and feasted the whole city, and none of the main and secondary officials and officials of the various departments of the government were absent, but many people went straight out of the city to various places after drinking the wedding wine, and the decree was basically fully conveyed in place that night.
Moreover, in the afternoon of this day, the head of the water market in Huangzhou also came with news, saying that he saw that all the ships of the Ezhou Navy and Military Department had been dispatched and went down the river. In the evening, the scribe sent by Cao Zhizhou to contact Ezhou also returned from crossing the river to bring the exact news, saying that two days earlier, a messenger from Tong Guan had made a detour to Huangpi to cross the river, and sent the military order assigned to the Ezhou Navy to go south and patrol along the river in Pengze and Chizhou to prevent the Broken Stone Army from crossing the river.
Obviously, Tong Guan did this, saying that he was afraid of ghosts for official business, and he didn't believe it, just to cut off the road of water transportation in Huangzhou!
For this news, anyway, it is also expected by everyone, anyway, in terms of government affairs, Yao Zheng is naturally a good hand, although this transfer is very stuck in time, but the procedures and steps that need to be dispatched are the same as the usual transfer of two taxes and grains, so there is nothing to panic about.
And the confirmation of this news also invisibly angered the officials of the Huangzhou Mansion, you must know that the most taboo in the officialdom is to treat things and not people, and overturn a boatload of people with a rod. You Tong Guan want to engage in Yao Zheng, you get him alone, why did you use such a big thing as the transfer of military baggage, if this thing is really as you Tong Guan wanted, wouldn't the entire officialdom of Huangzhou have to be accompanied by it.
And. This fact also made Yao Zheng sober up, he used to emphasize the position of the master and ignore the transfer of real power. It is extremely wrong.
You must know that the official position of this transfer envoy was first established during the reign of Taizong of the Song Dynasty. The highest administrative unit is called the water and land transfer envoy of a certain road and prefecture, and its official office is called the transfer envoy, commonly known as the Cao Division. In addition to mastering one or several financial endowments, the transfer envoy also has the responsibilities of inspecting local officials, maintaining law and order, counting prisons, and recommending talents. Before the fourth year of Jingde of Song Zhenzong (1007), the transfer envoy expanded his position, and in fact became the highest administrator along the way, even if he has been restrained now, but the real power he holds is far greater than that of a lord Bo Yao.
That is to say, Yao Zheng's official hat of the Huangzhou land and water transport envoy is not simply a temporary worker. He actually has real power, even if Yao Zheng and other water and land transport envoys who are nominally set up for the transfer of canned meat, he can also form a transfer army according to his own judgment, and even if he needs to form a transfer fleet and escort sailors!
If he had been more bold earlier and formed a transfer fleet on his own, would he still be blocked by Tong Guan like now?
However, there is no point in studying this problem now, only to go all out on land transportation!
This is first of all. The reason why the mobilization of the incumbent people was given three days to slow down was to allow the people to be able to handle family affairs, and during this period, the government government would naturally not be idle, so the government treasurer came forward to organize officials to recruit and help idle coolies sort out and pack 5,000 stone grain and straw. The in-service coachmen were also requisitioned to repair the vehicles, and then the Ma Kuaiban organized personnel to go to the counties along the way to inquire about the bandits and spread the news, and mobilized the local people, garrison troops, and archers to prepare the equipment and ordnance needed for the camp.
Meanwhile. The work of recruiting people among the displaced people was also carried out at the same time, and the morning of the 27th was also full of people. In the afternoon, I saw that all the people in the city were mobilized. Nearly 800 adult men came to report, with more than 3,000 family members; On the twenty-eighth it increased to 1,200, and his family members were seven thousand; In 30 days, it reached 1,700 people, with more than 11,000 families.
The transfer regulations taken out by the Huangzhou Mansion are also extremely detailed, and the whole transfer process is divided into three steps: the first step is to dispatch 150 carts, of which 100 are loaded with 1,000 people, and 50 are loaded with grain and straw and construction tools. The second step is to return to the hometown and bring their families to escort the transfer vehicle to set off, the people and the vehicle travel twice a day, and the family members travel once a day, and move forward in the first place; The third step, after the vehicle transfer is completed, then turn back to transport the people and their families to the counties.
It is absolutely impossible to send 5,000 stone of grain, 10,000 quintals of forage, and 20,000 cans of meat to Anqing City before August 15. However, as long as the vanguard unit in charge of the Kailushe transfer station is set up in Anqing City before 15 August, and then randomly delivers 10 truckloads of grain, straw, forage, and canned meat, it will not be considered a violation of the military order.
Therefore, on the first day of the eighth month, Yao Zheng wore a green Song Dynasty official uniform, rode a high-headed horse brought by the Huang family, followed by Yao Rong, the big boss on the left, and Ma Wan, the head of the fast class on the right, and drove away in the direction of Anqing Mansion with a vanguard composed of 150 carts.
The carts were mainly mule carts, supplemented by donkey carts, of which 110 carried 1,000 people, 30 loaded construction tools, and only 10 carts were loaded with grain.
Originally, my aunt and two aunts said that they would come to send them, but they asked Yao Erniang to send them back, and only Yao Yu cried and persecuted Huang Jie, so they were able to follow. It's just that this Nizi doesn't know what she ate wrong, Yao Zheng didn't have a tolerance in the past, even if he went to the riverside to supervise the river workers, he didn't return until he was idle for half a month, but this time Yao Yu couldn't stop crying, and Huang Jie was also frightened in his heart.
According to the usual practice, after drinking Zhuangxing wine, Yao Zheng called Huang Jie to the horse, and taught earnestly: "Jie'er, go here for your father, you don't have to be too **** idle, and you must not waste your schoolwork." ”
Huang Jie replied: "I will take care of it!" If there is a bad pool, my uncle will not mess around, I will cover the eldest brother and the second brother of the Sun family along the way, if there is something, as long as I respond. ”
Yao Zheng laughed and said, "I'm afraid!" As a father, he is also an official of the imperial court, how can there be any difference! It's Yu'er, who inherited her mother's temperament, and I can't be a father, I'm ashamed! ”
Huang Jie nodded, but he didn't say anything more, so he stepped aside, Yao Zheng exchanged greetings with his colleagues in the government again, and then ordered someone to whip the signal and beat the horse and go.
As soon as he left, Yao Yu cried again, and after reluctantly persuading Yao Yu back, Huang Jie couldn't help but beat his horse and chased after him. But he chased him all the way to the Jushui River, Huang Jie didn't dare to come forward to talk to his uncle, before this departure, everything that should be explained has been explained clearly, and what should be said in detail has been explained clearly, Huang Jie really can't find an excuse, he also knows his uncle's character, and hesitated for a long time, until Yao Zheng's figure lost his shadow after crossing the temporary bridge on the water, and then he turned back.
