Chapter 507: Join in the fun

The yamen of the prefect of Guangzhou and the yamen of the pacification envoy of Guangdong are separated by a street, and the back door of the pacification envoy is facing the back door of the yamen of the prefect of Guangzhou.

Zhao Yi didn't know what method was used, but after all, Liu Ru, who was watching Xu Ruoxi in the back house, was invited over.

Seeing Liu Ru who exuded a breath of no one on her body, Jia Rudao knew that it was because Liu Ru had reminded herself before, and hurried to see Xu Ruoxi, but she didn't expect that she would go out again in a short time and summon her in the back house.

Jia Rudao snorted helplessly: "Some gentry went to the prefect's yamen to petition, in fact, just to see me. Zhao Yi didn't feel at ease, so he invited you over. In fact, it's not that serious, it's all Zhao Yi making a big fuss......"

Before the words were finished, Liu Ru gave him a cold snort and widened his eyes, obviously not wanting to deal with him.

Liu Ru's attitude Jia Rudao is also helpless, from the very beginning, now, whether it was following Meng Heng or protecting her behind, Liu Ru never seemed to know how to write official characters, Jia Rudao could only smile bitterly in his heart, and secretly said that the official platform was sluggish.

In addition to inviting Liu Ru here, Zhao Yi also ordered the 100 back troops to guard and pacify the embassy, and at the same time told the remaining guards to pacify the 100 back troops of the embassy to be called at any time.

It seems that the successive assassinations have made Zhao Yi and others completely nervous.

The personal soldiers of the prefect's yamen were all the sailors under Jiang Hai who came from Lin'an with Jia Nidao before, so they naturally recognized Jia Nidao, and they hurriedly opened the door and welcomed Jia Nidao in.

Before arriving at the lobby of the prefect's yamen, Jia Rudao heard a noise in the lobby, like a vegetable market.

Seeing that Jia Nidao and this large group of people came over, the prefect Yamen soldiers waiting outside the lobby thought that something was wrong, and when they saw that Jia Nidao was in a hurry to salute, Jia Nidao made a gesture to stop them, and at the same time stopped Ding Daquan, who wanted to go in to spread the word, and signaled Zhao Yi and others not to make a move.

Jia Rudao took two steps closer to the main entrance of the lobby, brushed the steps under the eaves of the corridor casually, and then sat on the steps under the eaves of the corridor under the dumbfounded gaze of Zhao Yi and the others, as if he had made up his mind to eavesdrop. Even Liu Ru didn't seem to expect Jia Rudao to behave in such a down-to-earth or even alternative way, so he couldn't help but take a few more looks.

Jia Rudao didn't care about the surprised eyes of everyone around him, and listened carefully to the movement in the lobby.

"Lord Prefect, there are tens of millions of Li people all the way to Guangdong, and those mobs don't know how to talk about any courtesy, righteousness and shame."

"That's right, Lord Prefect, the appeasement envoy has not come out to say a word so far, and we and the grass people really have no bottom in their hearts."

"Lord Prefect, rumors are spreading in the city, what arrangements can be made to appease the Lordship?"

"Tens of millions of Li people, but they are all counting on adults to make decisions for us."

"Manichaeism is cruel, and adults can bow to the court? It is only right to ask the imperial court to send a large army to come to the expedition. ”

……

The entire prefect's office, Jia Rudao only heard all kinds of messy voices, but he didn't hear Ding Daquan's voice, obviously facing dozens of gentry and squire in Guangzhou Ding Daquan is alone, obviously weak, those gentry one person a word, Ding Daquan can't find a chance even if he wants to speak.

After listening to this for a long time, Jia Rudao knew that he really did not guess wrong, these gentry united together to petition the prefect's yamen, saying that it was a petition, but in fact, they wanted to see him, the pacification envoy.

"Alright, let's go to Tongyu."

After listening to it for a while, Jia Rudao knew that he would not hear anything else except these things that did not have any nutrition before he came, so he got up and patted the ash on his fart.

After receiving Jia Yidao's order, the personal soldiers of the prefect's yamen hurriedly went to spread the word.

In just a moment, the main entrance of the prefect's hall suddenly opened, led by Ding Daquan, followed by dozens of gentry pouring out.

"Your Excellency."

"The grass people (students) meet the adults."

Immediately after Ding Daquan, a series of greetings sounded, not neat, but loud enough.

At this time, there is no desire to bow down, so no matter whether everyone has merit or not, they are bowing to the ground with both hands, which is already a great gift.

Listening to these voices, Jia Yidao knew that I am afraid that many of these gentry are people with meritorious reputation, and the most unfortunate one is also a lifter. Otherwise, he wouldn't call himself a student to Jia Yidao, not a grass man. You know, Gastu is still holding the position of the national superintendent.

"No need to be polite."

Jia Rudao waved his hand casually, and walked towards the Daya insider.

Ding Daquan followed Jia Yidao's side.

"The adults should inform the lower officials before coming, so that the lower officials can welcome each other, otherwise it will be too disrespectful to the adults."

"I heard from the people below that the prefect's yamen is very lively, and it is just a temporary intention to go through the back door to join in the fun, not to mention that Ziwan still cares about these false courtesies between you and me?"

Jia Rudao patted Ding Daquan's shoulder sideways and said with a smile.

"Etiquette must not be abolished, sir."

Although Jia Yidao's words made Ding Daquan extremely comfortable in his heart, he knew that the more he was at this time, the more he couldn't get carried away.

Jia Yidao raised his hand and nodded Ding Daquan, chuckling.

Neither of them deliberately lowered their voices, and these words were naturally heard in the ears of the gentry who followed behind, and the expressions of the gentry all changed, and they were all muttering secretly in their hearts, it seems that they thought that this prefect was a confidant of the appeasement envoy or underestimated it, this is just a henchman.

Unconsciously raised the weight of Ding Daquan again, secretly wondering if he was too rude or overstepping just now, no one was secretly breathing, and those who spoke a little too much were secretly annoyed in their hearts.

And Jia Rudao's first sentence just now is very meaningful, I heard that the prefect's yamen is very lively?

The prefect's yamen is the government of Guangzhou, representing the face of the imperial court and pacifying the embassy, and the prefect's yamen is lively, doesn't it mean that the face of the imperial court and the pacification embassy is not good-looking? Why is the prefect's yamen lively? Isn't it because of those who want to see and appease the envoy who have no way out, but can only use the excuse of rumors to change the law to come to the prefect and yamen to toss?

Let's take a look at the pomp and circumstance of this appeaser. The prefect's yamen and the pacification envoy are only one street apart, and this pacification envoy quietly walked through the back door regardless of his identity, not to mention, what is the situation with the black and stubborn soldiers? Could it be that there was anyone in the prefect's yamen who could be unfavorable to this young appeaser?

Also, what the hell is that woman who followed behind the pacification envoy with a beautiful but cold face? When will women be able to go directly to the lobby of the government?

Well, as long as you appease and make the adults happy, after all, this Guangdong Road is still his biggest, and the woman herself can't control it.

But what are those soldiers used for?

The gentry had begun to secretly regret that they should not have come today.

Jia Rudao naturally sat in Ding Daquan's position, Ding Daquan and Liu Ru stood left and right, and a group of backing soldiers followed in, surrounding the entire prefect's yamen hall.

Seeing this scene, the gentry, who were already a little apprehensive in their hearts, were even more uneasy at the moment.

But thinking about the clan behind these people, so many people, adding up to a lot of power, this pacification envoy will never really want to do something, right? The gentry, who were in some commotion, looked at each other, gave each other and themselves a sense of confidence and security, and gradually settled down.

Jia Rudao naturally didn't know what these gentry thought, he was just looking at the gentry under this hall.

Looking at the four people at the head, Jia Rudao secretly said in his heart that this is the head of the four gentry clans of Wang, Zhang, Dai, and Xing, the largest in Guangzhou and even on the previous Guangnan East Road, as Qin Shou said. In the original Guangnan East Road, the four families of Wang, Zhang, Dai and Xing were the largest landlords, and each family had tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land in their mansions, which could be said to be the core of the clan power of the entire Guangnan East Road.

The Wang family owns the most fertile land in the entire Guangnan East Road and even the whole Lingnan, and there are nearly 200,000 acres of fertile land registered on the Guangnan East Road on the bright side, employing countless tenants to cultivate, and they are also one of the top grain merchants in Lingnan; Zhangjia's fertile land is less than that of the Wang family, only tens of thousands of acres, but the main business of the Zhang family is sea trade, and nearly forty percent of the sea trade in the entire Guangzhou port is related to the Zhang family, and the Zhang family also has the largest number of sea ships and shipyards.

The Dai family mainly engaged in textiles and silk, while the Xing family was officially allowed to cast iron and even ordnance, and it is said that there were more than a dozen mines alone.

Being able to let these four families come to the door, it seems that they have not moved these days, which really makes these gentry clans in Guangzhou a little anxious.

Jia Nidao was looking at the gentry in the hall, and these gentry were also secretly observing Jia Nidao.

Young, too young.

Although I had long heard that Uncle Jia, the big red man in front of the emperor who came from Lin'an, was young enough, after really seeing him, the gentry still felt that it was too far away from what they had heard before.

Look at the young man who is already a second-class member of the court and a feudal official of the central government, and then think about the juniors in his clan who seem to be the same age, what else can they do except drink flowers and wine, prostitutes, play in the mountains and waters, and fight crickets? Occasionally, I read a few books and chanted a few songs, but my tail was going to rise to the sky.

Being young means limitless possibilities, and everyone knows that even if they stumble, they have enough time and opportunity to start over.

This is now the feudal official of the Great Song Dynasty, the pacification envoy of Guangdong, oh wrong, and temporarily take care of the affairs of Fujian Road, just look at the map of the two roads, Guangdong Road and Fujian Road now occupy almost a quarter of the territory of the Great Song Dynasty. Where will this one go in the future? Where can we go?

Just imagine that the gentry in the hall have unconsciously begun to adjust their thoughts before they came.
