On the first day of the first month of the third year of Jiaxi, it snowed heavily overnight, and it quietly stopped at dawn. The entire Qingyuan Mansion City has become a world covered in silver.

The snow is not too thick, but only a few inches, although it affects people to visit relatives and friends during the New Year, but it is obviously not to the point where they can't go out and walk. The only real problem is that the confluence of the estuary is frozen because of the snow, making it extremely difficult for ships to get in and out of the harbor. In fact, this situation happens to the port so many times a year, not to mention that this year's snow is not very large. It's just that as the most important and important festival of the Chinese nation, from Chinese New Year's Eve to the Lantern Festival, each Yamen is in a state of closure, so no one has to deal with the ice in this port.

Fortunately, the ships coming and going to Qingyuan Mansion know this, not to mention that it is the Spring Festival, and there are really not many merchant ships that will not go home to reunite with their families and float on the sea during the New Year's Festival. Even the merchant ships from the Indochina Peninsula and Arabian Food to and from the Great Song Dynasty and Goryeo, Japan and even further away from the Indochina Peninsula will follow the customs of the locals at this time of the Spring Festival, dock in the port and enjoy the Spring Festival of the Great Song Dynasty quietly.

Ruixue Zhaofeng year, this snow not only did not feel much inconvenience to the people of Qingyuan Mansion, but added a bit of joy to this Spring Festival.

On the first day of the first lunar month, it is the right time to visit relatives and friends. In addition, since ancient times, temple fairs and ceremonies have been held during the Spring Festival to pray for good weather in the new year, good health and so on, to express a beautiful vision for the new year. Although the snow caused some inconvenience to the temple fair, it still could not resist the enthusiasm of the people to pray for blessings.

The promise last night of getting up in the morning to build a snowman still didn't work out. It's not because Jia Nidao can't get up in the morning or is unwilling, but early in the morning, Jia Nidao just got up and sent red envelopes to the stewards, maids and servants in the courtyard, including Jia Quan'er, and received a prayer post, and the worship post was not one or two.

The officials who were basically able to get on the stage in the entire Qingyuanfu seemed to have made an appointment, and they all went to the outside of the courtyard to hand over the greetings to Jia Yidao...... It's New Year's greetings. To be able to do the real position of a mansion, it is obvious that everyone is well-informed, not to mention that Jia Rudao has never thought of hiding his whereabouts at all.

In this way, Jia Rudao naturally couldn't let a group of officials who came to meet and pay New Year's greetings accompany Shi Zhenxiang to build a snowman, which made Shi Zhenxiang resentful. In the end, I had no choice but to drag the pot-bellied Xu Ruoxi, and she and Huang Jiaoniang built a small snowman in the backyard.

said that she built it herself, but in fact, most of the work was done by Jia Quan'er, an unlucky bastard, and Shi Zhenxiang just moved her mouth, and the only place to do it was to write a few people's names on the snowman after the snowman was built.

In the living room of the front yard, a group of officials of Qingyuan Mansion sat around the hot stove with Jia Nidao as the center, and the living room was as warm as spring, and the laughter continued.

said that it was a lot, but in fact, except for Su Qinghao, the prefect of Qingyuan, Liang De, Ge Ming, the inspector Ge Ming, and the sailors of Qingyuan Mansion, who had already seen Jia Rudao last night, there were just too many. They are Feng Xiping, deputy envoy of the Liangzhejiang East Road Transit Envoy Division, and Judge Dou Jian, and Yu Qing, the Prison Department of the Liangzhejiang East Road.

According to the conventions of the Great Song Dynasty, each road set up a transfer envoy, a deputy transport envoy or a judge, and the busy Luzhou set up a transport envoy and a transport envoy, and few transport envoys set up a deputy envoy and a judge at the same time, and even the deputy envoy and the judge will not be in the same place.

Liangzhejiang East Road, the capital of the Great Song Dynasty Lin'an City is included, the waterways are developed, the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal runs through all places, coupled with the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River, it is the most important grain producing area of the Great Song Dynasty, and the transportation is busy. These two officials are both real vacancies, and they are directly selected by the imperial court, and the magistrates with better political performance or the Jinshi who are waiting for the real vacancies are selected to fill the vacancies.

The Criminal Prison Department is a special interrogation institution set up by the Great Song Dynasty to go directly to the Criminal Department. Naturally, this interrogation is not an interrogation of an investigation case, but after the government and county officials at all levels report the convicted criminals of the year, especially in serious and important cases that require the execution of the death penalty, the criminal and prison departments will be responsible for inspecting the cases to prevent the occurrence of unjust and wrongful convictions.

In fact, the penal institutions of the Great Song Dynasty still seem to be very humane and sound, of course, if you remove many redundant officials and redundant officials.

Of course, there must be far more officials in Qingyuan Mansion than those who appeared in front of Jia Nidao now. However, relative to his identity, only these seven people are barely qualified to meet him.

It is inevitable that the deputy envoy and the judge of the Liangzhejiang East Road Transfer Envoy Department will meet Jia Nidao, after all, Jia Nidao's Yamen of the General Department of the City and Ship has many functions, which can be said to be highly overlapping with the three envoys, especially the transfer envoy. Maybe I didn't think about it now, what Jia Rudao wanted was to rely on the Yamen of the General Department of the City Ship to completely replace the powerful but inefficient three envoys in the future, but many people saw the possibility of the Yamen of the General Department of the City Ship to replace the transfer envoy in the future.

At the same time, because the Yamen of the General Department of the City has just started, there are still many aspects that need the cooperation of the transfer envoy, so it is obviously necessary for Feng Xiping and Dou Jian to visit Jia Yidao. As for Yu Qing, who mentioned the Criminal Prison Division, the current Shangshu of the Criminal Department is Uncle Xie Fang, Jia Rudao and the Xie family are not generally close because of two unspeakably expensive women, this is not a secret in the government and the opposition, Jia Rudao stopped in Qingyuan Mansion, and Yu Qing wanted to come to see him.

This villa Wanfu has obviously put a lot of thought into burning such a large stove, and the room is as warm as spring, but there is no sense of suffocation. Eight people sat around the stove, perhaps because Jia Rudao deliberately lowered his shelves and posture, and after a short period of crampedness, the seven people slowly let go, which can be regarded as the joy of the guests and the hosts, and it was harmonious.

"Jia Quan'er, come here."

Seeing that Jia Quan'er, who had finished refilling the tea, was about to go out, Jia seemed to wave and shouted.

Su Qinghao and others, who originally seemed to be chatting, but were actually secretly paying attention to Jia Rudao's every move, were suddenly silenced.

"Ladies and gentlemen, after the Lantern Festival, the official will leave for Guangdong to take up his post, and Jia Quan'er will have full powers to represent the official to temporarily lead the affairs of the Qingyuan Mansion of the Yamen of the General Department of the City Ship, and the documents of the Ministry of Officials will be sent to the Qingyuan Mansion in the next few days, Jia Quan'er is not too proficient in officialdom, and I hope that a few people can help more. Jia Quan'er didn't come over to greet a few adults. ”
