【2nd Update】

"It is said that it is both public and private, and it is not a matter of accumulation, but it has taken up a part of the two new businesses of cotton cloth and sugar, and the fourth cousin is comparable to Tao Zhu, and the family's industry is not small now. Nowadays, although the family spends a lot of money, it can not be spent on one-tenth of what it earns. ”

"It is also for children."

'Sons and daughters? ……’

Wang Yi looked Zhou Nan up and down. It's only been two months, and it's not yet pregnant. Inside the gown is a slightly loose light onion placket jacket, with a high chest, a slender waist, and a flat lower abdomen, so I can't tell that I'm pregnant at all.

"This time there is no joy. If I didn't always feel sleepy and invited someone to consult, I really didn't know that Lu Dao was a happy pulse. Zhou Nan longed, "Quietly, most of them are girls." ”

"It's good to have another daughter. There are a bunch of sons in the family, and they have a headache every day, and there is only one daughter. Wang Yi said so, but she looked at the noisy appearance of a few boys, but she smiled, "The officials have said that marrying a daughter will not feel sorry for the dowry." ”

The two were talking, when they suddenly heard a loud drum from the front yard.

"The official trial today?" Zhou Nan asked in surprise, the promotion drum of the Yamen of the Transshipment Division is rarely heard.

Wang Yi nodded and answered Zhou Nan's question, "When I went out in the morning, I did say that there was a case of division of property to be tried. ”

"How did you think about trying the case, didn't you usually send it back to the state?"

"That's what I asked, and the official said that it's not good to always forward and return the case, so you have to keep one or two pieces down to decorate the façade."

In addition to ensuring the smooth transportation of local taxes into the capital, the work of the transfer envoy also has the responsibility of supervising the administration and finances of the military prefecture under his leadership. Normal transshipment envoys usually spend half of the year touring the state and county. And Han Gang relied on his work to open up the Xianghan Cao Yun, so he only inspected the military states along the Cao Yun line, and almost never went to the military states a little farther up.

In addition to supervision, some cases will also be sent to the yamen of the transit envoy across the prefecture and county, and the transfer envoy also has the right to hear it. However, Han Gang generally won't pick up. will make trouble in the case of the supervisor in the middle of the road, or it is a property dispute case of a large family - if the family background is thin, the family will be bankrupt in the state and county; Either it's a headless, years-old criminal case - basically it's about human life, otherwise it won't make people get into trouble.

If it is a criminal case involving human life, it is an errand belonging to the Shuai Division and the Xian Division, and Han Gang will move to the Jing Luo Pacification Division or the Criminal Prison Division.

Several road-level supervisors were not in the same place—for example, the Jingnan Road Pacification Division was in Dengzhou, which was concurrently served by the governor of Dengzhou, and the North Road was in Xuzhou—in order to prevent the divisions from gathering in one city, and the last power was controlled by one person. But the exchange of official documents is troublesome. Fortunately, Han Gang only encountered two criminal cases that refused to accept the judgment of the state and county, and it didn't take him much time.

There are a little more property disputes – as in later generations, there are far more civil cases than criminal cases. Basically, there are many brothers fighting for property, and there are also sons-in-law and young sons fighting for property, and stepmothers and sisters-in-law fighting for property. In front of Brother Kong Fang, filial piety or something was thrown out of the clouds - Han Gang was basically sent back to the state and county, and he didn't like to see brothers and sisters quarrel over money. And with the atmosphere of the world, if you can get the case into the middle of the road, basically there will be no people on both sides who keep to themselves.

However, after all, the transfer department is not the yamen responsible for adjudicating cases, and there have only been more than a dozen cases that have hit Han Gang's hands in the past year, all of which are the above two types of cases, and there is no exception. Han Gang did not accept any of them. That is, today, I want to try a case and deal with it.

"It's a simple case, right? Just coping with errands. ”

"Being able to fight from the county to the state, and from the state to the road, things are not so simple."

It was only after he said two words that another commotion sounded in the front yard. Even the three little ones forgot to play the ball and looked in the direction where the voice came from. It's a little far away, and I can't hear what I'm shouting. But in the midst of the shouting, Wang Yi and Zhou Nan still heard the rhythm.

"How is it so fast?" Zhou Nan was puzzled, "The shengtang drum has just been beaten." ”

"The case must have been closed, and it was judged well. If it is not satisfactory, the people outside the yamen will only spread rumors in private, and they will not dare to make such a noise. ”

"Case closed! Case closed! A mother-in-law came from the front and exclaimed: "The dragon figure is really the stars in the sky." The case that caused unrest in Yingzhou Prefecture and County was closed like this when it came to Long Tu's hands. ”

"How did you try it?!" Wang Yi was a little curious.

When the woman approached the master's mother, she said with her eyebrows fluttering: "Long Tu opened the middle door of the lobby and is under trial. took Yingzhou's judgment and asked the Wang brothers where they were not satisfied. The elder brother said that the share given to the younger brother was more, and the younger brother said that the elder brother's share was more. Long Tu asked twice, but he didn't change his words, so he made the decision to give the younger brother what he gave to his younger brother, and gave his brother's share to his younger brother. Everyone outside is saying that Long Tu has a good judgment. ”

When Zhou Nan heard this, he covered his mouth and smiled: "The official's judgment is quite refreshing." ”

Wang Yi frowned: "It seems that there have been similar cases in the past, but it seems that brothers are fighting over real estate." ”

"Little sister hasn't heard of it." Zhou Nan still couldn't help laughing, "But the official decided the case like this, but it was too narrow, I really don't know what the two brothers looked like after hearing the verdict." ”

"Narrow? It couldn't be more serious than a husband's judgment. "The case was closed just now, and Han Gang actually went back to the backyard with his hands. Wang Yi and Zhou Nan got up and saluted, the servants in the courtyard were all half lowered, the three children stepped forward and shouted Daddy, Han Gang responded one by one, sat down and drank the hot tea served by the subordinates, "There are more than one or two similar cases in the past, and they can be regarded as the best cases." The husband felt that it was not good to always return the case to the state and county, so he simply picked a simple one to try it. But I don't know how Yingzhou got it, and he couldn't try it. ”

"If the state officials in Yingzhou can compare with the officials, they can also be transshipment envoys." Wang Yi casually flattered Han Gang, and saw that her husband's eyes were wandering around the courtyard, as if he was looking for something, and explained, "Su Xin and Yun Niang are reconciling, and it will take a while." ”

"Reconciliation?" Han Gang pondered for a moment and nodded, "It's almost the winter solstice, so you should really clear the account first." After a pause, he asked, "There are no major expenses in the government this year, right?" ”

"Not really," Wang Yi said, "It's not in the capital, there are a lot less human contacts." There are no imports, and there are few places that need to spend a lot of money. Although it was an extra group of visitors, it didn't use much. However, there are a lot of inputs, which have doubled compared with last year. ”

When Wang Yi said this, he was a little hesitant, Han Gang said with a smile: "Now the total tax of Xihe Road in a year is almost comparable to that of Qinzhou, and the imperial court has issued an order to pull out 100,000 troops, and the situation in Jiaozhou will only be better than that of Xihe." Since the two sides have developed, SF Express's family background is naturally rising. ”

"Can Xihe Road pull out 100,000 troops?" Zhou Nan was speechless, "The officials led the troops to attack Jiaozhi, and they were full of calculations, but they only used less than 20,000 officers and soldiers. With these 100,000 Tibetan troops, they must not capture the Western Xia capital. ”

"Xihe is much more difficult than Jiaozhou, 100,000 troops are really gathered, people eat horses and chew, and the little grain stored in the road can't even survive for ten days and half a month. Jiaozhou is to maintain the grain and grass by itself, and no matter how many soldiers and generals are transferred, there is no need to worry about whether the stomach can be filled. The seventy-two barbarian tribes in Jiaozhou remembered the benefits of the past and were eager to start a war with the outside world. ”

In Jiaozhou, the seventy-two barbarian tribes that were separated from Lu were all Jiaozhi slaves, as well as the women of the family, and the men did not do anything, and they were all straddling bows and knives all day long, going around and around.

These are all vicious dogs raised by the imperial court, and the deterrent left by the officials and soldiers makes them only dare to grin at the outside, if the nearby Zhenla or dare to have the slightest disobedience, or if any of them has a different heart, Jiaozhou Zhizhou can release them out of the city with just one word, and they can be released to kill people and set fire to grab a vote.

"Anyway, Jiaozhou and Xihe don't have to worry about it now." Zhou Nan said with a smile: "The officials are definitely going to push the laying of tracks next?" It is more convenient than opening a river. ”

"It's not that simple." Han Gang sighed, "People want to study hard for ten years to become a scholar, and it takes a hundred years of rain, dew, wind and frost for a tree to become a pillar." From invention to application, it has only taken four or five years to complete the track, whether it is a mine or a port, it is a short distance. The track in Fangcheng Mountain is only sixty miles, which is already considered long. In just 60 miles, there are many unexpected problems, both in terms of vehicles and tracks themselves, as well as in the scheduling and maintenance of transportation. ”

He said to the two women who were listening intently: "If it is a thousand eight hundred miles, there will only be more problems exposed." In order to solve these problems, it is necessary to further invest a lot of human and financial resources to study and deal with them. …… And it's not just the track itself, it's also the distribution of rights and interests with local states and counties, and I don't know how long it will last. If no one claims for the track in Beijing, it is possible to give up halfway. As a husband, he wants to benefit all people, and his hard work can't be wasted. ”

Wang Yi and Zhou Nantou nodded a little heavily, Han Gang's plan this time was not hidden from them. Only by returning to the court can we ensure the smooth progress of the next step.

"Two books have been written, and the next thing is to pay Zizi. Prepare to dedicate it to the Son of Heaven, and let the local officials refer to the "Elbow Reserve Request" on how to respond to disasters and prevent the epidemic, without printing, just copy a copy neatly and send it to the Son of Heaven. And "Gui Window Cong Talk" is to print out hundreds of copies, distribute them to relatives and friends, and use their mouths to expand the momentum. Han Gang squinted his eyes in the sun and smiled, "The news from Fulong Mountain should also reach Xiangzhou now, and in a few days, you can invite Huang Yong to your home and use his hand to promote it in Xiangzhou City." ”

"In this way, the official will be able to confirm the identity of the stars." Wang Yi smiled, "Or is it better to say that the disciple of the Medicine King is better?" ”

"People in the world are so stupid, everything is always related to gods and monsters, but writing a book for Fu Baba and explaining the ins and outs of the whole thing is for fear of being used by that kind of witch and god. For a husband who does not believe in gods and Buddhas, although some things cannot be explained by the theories that we know at the moment, but if the reason is attributed to gods and Buddhas, what is the use of having an empty head? He snorted coldly, "What plague gods, pox gods, sooner or later will be swept away." If you have the money to worship the clay puppet wood carving, it is better to take it out and give porridge and scatter medicine, and do some good deeds! ”
