There was silence in the lobby.

Jia seemed to say nothing, and naturally no one dared to speak out among the others.

Just when the gentry in the hall had begun to retreat a little, Jia Rudao spoke.

"I've been in Guangzhou for a few days, and I've heard about you for a long time. It's just that because I have just arrived and there are so many things, I thought that after all those miscellaneous and government affairs have been handled, I would invite you to sit down again, but I didn't expect that I would meet you in such a scene today. ”

Jia Yidao slapped his face and looked around.

"But it's okay, since you have all come today, and the official is also here, then it is better to choose a day than to hit the day, just chat in the lobby of the prefect's yamen, you just asked Ding Governor's Mansion, this official has heard it, some words and some things Ding Governor can't do the master, so naturally he doesn't dare to say or dare to do, now that the official is here, what can be told to the official, and the official can give you a solution. Come on, sit down and have tea. ”

Soon, dozens of chairs and tables were neatly arranged, and tea was served.

Fortunately, the lobby of the prefect's yamen is still spacious enough, otherwise there may not be so many tables and chairs standing under so many people.

"Sit down."

Jia Rudao waved his hand and motioned for all the gentry in the hall to sit.

Ding Daquan also sat down on the left side of Jia Rudao, Liu Ru shook and disappeared, thinking that there was no danger in seeing it, and he was a little unaccustomed to such an occasion, so he left by himself.

"I heard you ask the prefect how the Manichaean mob rebelled and the court and the pacification embassy dealt with it, but before answering this question, I would like to ask you a question, that is, who did you hear say that the Manichaean mob rebelled? Who did you hear that the Manichaean mob was about to hit Guangzhou? ”

When everyone was seated, Jia Rudao swept around and said with a smile.

"The grass people Dai Zhenbai visited the adults, and this time they disturbed the adults, and the grass people were terrified."

The hall was quiet for a moment, as if to recommend who would answer Jia Nidao's question, and then a middle-aged man wearing a brocade robe with three strands of beard and a righteous face stood up and bowed to Jia Nidao.

Dai Zhenbai of the Dai family?

The Jinyiwei information sent by Qin Shou said very clearly, Dai Zhenbai is now the head of the Dai family, he is extremely decent, and his business skills are also extremely clever.

"The head of the Dai family doesn't need to be polite, just sit and talk. Terrified? The official doesn't eat people? It's all the same as you, with a mouth, two eyes, two ears, and two legs, what are you afraid of? For the emperor to shepherd one side, it is natural to be responsible for one side of the people, so as to be worthy of the emperor's holy grace. All, everyone doesn't have to be too formal, today is just chatting, and there are no outsiders, so don't care too much about those false courtesies or something. ”

Jia Rudao waved his hand and motioned for Dai Zhenbai to sit down.

"Master Xie."

Dai Zhenbai was not pretentious, he bowed to Jia Rudao again and sat down, obviously an extremely free and easy person.

"My lord, the grass people and others also have some foundations, and some adults are personally sitting in Guangzhou, if you want to say that the Manichaean mob really hit Guangzhou, it is naturally unbelievable, but there are Manichaean mobs in Lianzhou who are causing chaos and grass people have indeed received the news, as for whether there are mobs in Wuping, the grass people and others really don't know whether it is true or false."

In his words, Dai Zhenbai had already quietly sent Jia Yidao a sycophant.

"Well, the official can tell you now that Lianzhou is not a Manichaean mob of Mingjiao, but there are a small group of mountain bandits who are causing trouble to the neighbors, and the official has sent people to encircle and suppress them. According to the imperial court's edict, the official will train 200,000 troops in Guangdong to provide support, and there are mountain bandits who are in turmoil, but it is just for the purpose of training.

Now that the imperial court was fighting fiercely with the Mongols in Sichuan and Huainan, the imperial court may not be able to use troops against Guangdong in a short period of time. And such a trivial matter, if the imperial court is asked to send a large army...... Hehe, does it seem that the official is too incompetent? Therefore, the pacification embassy will report everything that happened in Guangdong and Fujian, but those mountain bandits who are in trouble still have to be solved by Guangdong itself.

There are indeed Mingjiao mobs in Wuping Mansion in Fujian Province, looting the official salt transported by the Cao Si of the imperial court, and killing innocents indiscriminately, but if you say that you want to hit Guangzhou, do you think it is okay? The mountain bandits in Lianzhou are just making waves in the name of the Ming Sect. In the near future, another army in Guangdong will go to Fujian to pacify the Mingjiao mob, and arrangements will be made to pacify the embassy.

The official came to Guangdong to take up his post this time, but even a family member was brought with him, and the family members of the Ding prefect's mansion will also arrive in Guangzhou in the near future, and the official's wife is about to give birth, and the official's family is all in Guangzhou, not for the tens of millions of Li people in Guangdong, but for the sake of the official's family, and will certainly not let those mobs and bandits cause trouble in Guangdong.

It is the duty of this official to deal with the mob to expropriate and suppress the mountain bandits and to ensure the safety and well-being of tens of millions of Li people in Guangdong. Although you are not in the temple, you are either a wealthy gentry or a giant with a huge family fortune, and your words and deeds have a huge influence on ordinary people. As the saying goes, rumors stop at the wise, and this rumor has made you panic so much that you have found the prefect's yamen to petition? I think it's more than that, right? ”

When they first heard that Jia Nidao's family members were all in Guangzhou City and were about to give birth, and Ding Daquan's family members were on their way to Guangzhou, Dai Zhenbai and the others were all relieved, but then they were a little more frightened of Jia Nidao in their hearts.

Since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, how many feudal officials have been able to easily bring all their families to the place where they are officials, like Jia Nidao? Which one is not to put Yiying's family in Lin'an or his hometown, just that the emperor allowed Jia Yidao to take his family members out as an official, which shows the emperor's favor for him.

When it came to Jia Yidao's last sentence, "The rumors stop at the wise, and the official sees more than that", the two sentences made Dai Zhenbai and others, who were already weak-hearted, tremble.

The reason why Jia Yidao was forced to come forward to meet them in the name of petitioning the prefect's yamen today, in fact, Dai Zhenbai and others were also helpless.

Just ask the previous pacification envoys in Lingnan and other places, which one didn't worship them first at the beginning of his tenure? When worshipping the dock, the two sides will say in advance some bottom lines and things that can be exchanged, so that in the future, they will act like hello, I am good, everyone is good, and the officials will definitely have political achievements during their tenure, and they should still make money and grab land.

But Jia seems to be the same as this young appeasement who doesn't play cards according to the rules.

Not only did he not visit the dock after coming to Guangzhou for so long, but even on the second day of his arrival, he directly took down several benchmarks of the Guangdong clan power in the official face, although he only stripped the military power and promoted Shi Chun and others, but there are few people who have no real power in their hands, what is the use of having an empty official rank?

Originally, Dai Zhenbai and others thought that Jia Nidao would make a big move against the various clans in Guangdong next, but after waiting for so long, they didn't expect Jia Nidao to just pick it up and put it down gently, and there was no follow-up action at all.

But the more this is the case, the more uneasy Dai Zhenbai and others are.

What if that's just a disadvantage?

Because they haven't figured out how to deal with the relationship with Jia Yidao, a celebrity in front of the Son of Heaven, Dai Zhenbai and others have really struggled for a few months. Finally, in the past few days, an agreement has been reached, that is, if the pacification envoy speaks well, everyone will be behind, if it is really to let the various clans succumb to the majesty of his pacification envoy, then it will only be possible to make trouble in Lin'an City.

Everyone has already gathered, but they have not been able to find a suitable excuse to ask to see Jia Nidao. After all, these people seem to be the leading figures in Guangdong on the surface, but after all, they don't have official identities, do they? How can they see what they want to see?

Naturally, you can ask Shi Chun to help pull the strings, but thinking about Jia Rudao's actions towards Shi Chun and others, Dai Zhenbai and the others feel that they still can't go through Shi Chun directly. After all, if Jia Rudao was annoyed, thinking that Shi Chun was colluding with various clans, then he would really be shooting himself in the foot again.

As soon as rumors came out of the city of Guangzhou, Dai Zhenbai and others immediately couldn't wait to come to the prefect's yamen to petition.

Just now, Jia Yidao has already said that Lianzhou is just a mountain bandit, and only Wuping Mansion is a Mingjiao mob, but the information in the hands of Dai Zhenbai and others is very clear, Lianzhou is also a Manichaean mob, and it is obvious that it has long colluded with Mingjiao in Wuping Mansion.

Then the young appeasement envoy at the top categorically and unabashedly directly described the Manichaean mob in Lianzhou as a rebellion of mountain bandits, and the meaning of this is really worth pondering.

The gentry in the hall all worked hard to use their brains and carefully consider every word Jia Rudao said.

"The grass people are stupid, they were mistaken by rumors, and they almost missed the big things of the adults, and the grass people have small family assets, and they are willing to attach to the army for the adults to suppress the mountain bandits in Lianzhou and the mob in Wuping, and send 30,000 sets of tents and armor to the army."

Dai Zhenbai's expression changed several times, as if he had finally made up his mind, and stood up and bowed to Jia Yidao.

This time, Dai Zhenbai's words made Jia Rudao really think highly of him for the first time.

There are 30,000 sets of military quilts and armor, not a total of 30,000 sets, but a total of 90,000 sets.

And Dai Zhenbai's words clearly mentioned and affirmed one point, that is, Lianzhou is a mountain bandit rebellion, and Wuping is a rebellion of the Mingjiao mob.

Obviously, what armored army tents or something, just incidental, Lianzhou, which is attached to Jia Nidao, is a mountain bandit is the real point.

In such a short period of time, and without Jia Yidao giving any guarantees or compromising benefits, Dai Zhenbai was able to make such a decision, which was obviously a big gamble.

Looking at the surprised looks on the faces of the gentry in the hall, you can see that Dai Zhenbai's decision obviously did not pass with them in private.

If one is not good, Dai Zhenbai is afraid that he will offend all the gentry in Guangdong and be completely excluded.
