Within two days, the official ship of Zhao Dezhao, the king of Wei, rushed to Xuyi, and Yang Hao and Xuyi County Ling Yuntianxiao went to the dock to greet him, and welcomed the king of Wei into the yamen of Zhixian County. Yunxian Ling couldn't wait to complain to King Wei, but Yang Hao, the pioneer who went south to collect grain this time, had a leisurely face and didn't care.

When he first patrolled the Jianghuai Road, Yang Hao advocated aimlessness and followed his way, and Murong Qiu was drunk and put on a senior face to teach him a good lesson, but he was ridiculed and refuted by Yang Hao, and Yang Hao's idea at that time was to kill a hundred people.

In any dynasty, there is no shortage of good officials, and there is no shortage of dirty officials, even if the government is a clear dynasty, therefore, the more the yamen that represents huge interests, the more corrupt officials and corrupt officials, Yang Hao knows that he is inside, he is not worried that he will not find the monkey chicken all the way down, but he didn't expect that the last thing he found was Deng Zuyang, Deng Zuyang, as a faint official, his ability to perform government is insufficient, but his own fate is really pitiful.

But this time in Sizhou for so long, and finally those corrupt officials and corrupt officials were wiped out, it still played a due deterrent role, the enthusiasm of the officials of Jianghuai Province to buy and transport grain and rice was unprecedentedly high, and the grain gentry, the tooth people of the rice industry and the small officials of the official warehouse and the Ben Division did not dare to collude unscrupulously to make profits, and now as long as the weir sluices built everywhere can stand the test of practice and ensure the smooth flow of the canal and waterway, then the dilemma of millions of residents in Kaifeng without rice can be solved, so Yang Hao's mentality at the moment is very stable.

As for the grain turmoil between Huaiyin County and Xuyi County, he didn't pay much attention to it, and he also learned about it from the side in the past few days, knowing that what the two county orders said was true, Huaiyin County suffered a disaster, Xuyi County had a bumper harvest year, Huaiyin County also quietly sent people to Xuyi County to send grain and rice, if Xuyi County's own acquisition task encountered difficulties, it would also send people to obstruct it, but in ordinary years, it was not as urgent as this time the imperial court issued a grain and rice purchase task, so the contradictions between them have not been so intensified. Since this is a chronic disease of officialdom, how many ministers and officials can't think of a way to do both, so he is too lazy to spend his brains.

This kind of mentality is completely because of the incurable disease, or did the words of Zhen Ziyu scolding him play a role that day? Yang Hao never thought about it, but his mentality changed unconsciously. The daughter's mind is the most sensitive, and Wu Wa'er is already vaguely aware of this change in him.

After Zhao Dezhao, the king of Wei, was welcomed into the yamen of Zhixian County, Yunzhi County immediately reported the entanglement and conflict between this county and Huaiyin County to the King of Wei, and he was extremely indignant about Huaiyin County's curbing of the matter. Zhao Dezhao also didn't know much about this kind of thing, and when he heard it, he only said that Huaiyin County was deliberately embarrassing his colleagues and sabotaging the acquisition of the imperial court, and he couldn't help but be furious, and immediately affirmed that he would handle this matter strictly.

When Yunzhi County left happily, Murong Qiu, Cheng Yu and others spoke one after another, telling the King of Wei the reason for the formation of this ill. Only then did King Wei realize that he was young and knowledgeable, and it was too reckless to make such a hasty statement, in this matter, although the Xuyi County Decree was correct, the Huaiyin County Decree was also justified, and the reasons for the formation of the internal situation were extremely complicated, how could he easily move out of the Qincha Jieyue to interfere in Huaiyin County?

But he is a dignified prince, and he is also the minister of the Qincha on behalf of the heavenly patrol, and he has just patted his chest and guaranteed that he wants to handle the case strictly, how can he break his promise at this time? Zhao Dezhao knew Meng Lang, but he didn't know how to stop, he thought hard for a while, and suddenly saw Yang Hao sitting on the side with nothing to do, as if he was a savior.

After he thought that Yang Hao must have a way to preserve his dignity and resolve the disputes between Huaiyin and Xuyi counties, Zhao Dezhao immediately asked Yang Hao with a pleasant face: "Yang Yuan, how many days have you arrived first, you must know about the situation, I don't know if the court envoy can have a strategy to teach the king?" ”

Yang Hao wanted to stay out of the matter, but he didn't expect him to ask him, and after a little hesitation, Fang bowed and said: "Lord Wang, Xuyi County sends the money, and Huaiyin County curbs it, the purpose is to be for the court, and a loyal person should not be questioned, so it is also a helpless move to have a suspicion." Because the two places have different grain and rice shortages, there is no perfect solution to this entanglement.

In the opinion of the following officials, the prince sent an old and serious official to Huaiyin County to do some investigation, even if it was to appease the heart of Yunzhi County, and at the same time to consider the intention of Li Zhixian in Huaiyin, and then make a mediation from it. The two counties are for the court, and for the sake of the prince, there will naturally be no more resentment. As for the difficulties of Yunzhi County, as the minister of patrol hunting, the prince can explain the situation to the official family and ask for a part of the money and grain on his behalf, and Yunzhi County must be grateful. ”

When Zhao Dezhao heard this, he said happily: "What Yang Yuan said is reasonable, so ...... Can the envoy of Yang Yuan be willing to represent the king and his party? ”

"Uh......, Xiaguan has been tired of boating for the past few days, and some of them are not accustomed to the water and soil, and now they are recuperating, and it may be difficult to make the trip, besides, ...... This time he is a peacemaker, and the lower officials are impatient and difficult to bear heavy responsibilities, so the prince should choose an old and respected official, who is the best candidate. ”

"Old Cheng is serious, Sufu people are popular?"

Zhao Dezhao glanced at Chu Zhaofu, the third envoy who was sitting on the side with the dead and alive, Lao Chu knew that now that the food shortage was solved, he could be regarded as a dog's head, but the officials of the three envoys would definitely not be able to continue, as long as he returned to Beijing, he would have to be dismissed, when he first came out of Beijing, he was thinking all day long about how to take care of the aftermath for himself, how to solve the dilemma, he thought about how to find a way back for himself all day long. In the past few days, he has been writing back to Beijing, and he is letting his family move around, busy dredged up relationships for himself, and his own fire can't be saved, how can he have the heart to put out the fire for others?

Zhao Dezhao saw that Chu Zhaofu's mind did not belong, and he looked sluggish and dead, and he was useless at all, so he had to turn his head again. The other officials ......, Zhao Dezhao set his eyes on Cheng Yu and Cheng Dexuan, these two have been in charge of the prison for many years, and they are either tried or sentenced every day, and the fighting face is tense all the time, with a very serious appearance, when he sees him looking at himself, although the two of them try to make a gentle appearance, but the lines on their faces are still a little cool, this virtue makes them go to Huaiyin to intimidate, and it is almost the same as ensuring that the baby is scared at night, and asks them to be peacemakers, which is not like it at all...... When Murong Qiu was drunk and saw King Wei set his eyes on Cheng Yu and the others, he hurriedly stepped forward and arched his hand: "If you don't dislike it, the old man is willing to go to Huaiyin." ”

Murong Qiu was drunk and worried, this Huaiyin County Order was also an official promoted by Zhao Pu, originally Zhao Pu was the chief of a hundred officials, and it was his job to be virtuous and capable, and he didn't have a sharp eye, this official was uneven, so there was no way, but if he was remembered, Cheng Cheng made a fuss about it, it was really enough. Murong Qiu was afraid that this Huaiyin County would let the people of Nanya find out what was going on, and at this critical juncture, he repeatedly gave Zhao Kuangyin eye medicine, and it was strange that the official family was not on fire, so when he saw that King Wei intended to let the people from Nanya come forward, he immediately took the initiative to ask Ying.

"Is this ......" Zhao Dezhao looked at Murong Qiu drunk, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and looked like a benevolent elder, but Murong Qiu was only a staff member of the Prime Minister's Mansion after all, and he had no official position in the court, so he hesitated a little and said: "It's okay, then Mr. Murong will go away." Not...... Judge Cheng go together, this time Jianghuai is raising food, and the merit is about to be completed, you act properly, don't make trouble. ”

"Yes, then the lower official will accompany Mr. Murong with Cheng Gongcao." Cheng Yu smiled and glanced at Murong Qiu, and Fang Zhengnan also stood up when he heard this: "Anyway, Xuyi has nothing to do, the old man has been taking a boat for days, and he feels that his body is sore, so he will accompany Mr. Murong to go." ”

The four of them looked at each other coldly, and there was a provocative light in their eyes. Chu Zhaofu yawned boredly, his eyes inadvertently swept over Yang Hao, and he saw that Yang Hao was also as lazy as himself, and he didn't seem to care about the open and secret battles between Cheng Yu, Murong Qiu, and others, and couldn't help but be stunned, his eyes turned slightly, and Chu Zhaofu showed a thoughtful expression.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ leaving the residence of King Wei, Cheng Yu hurried a few steps, caught up with Yang Hao, and said with a smile: "King Wei wants to invite the envoy to Huaiyin, showing his dependence on the envoy, why did the envoy refuse?" Are you really feeling unwell? ”

Yang Hao stopped and turned around, glanced at Murong Qiudrunk and Fang Zhengnan in the distance, and arched his hand: "Hehe, Master Cheng, please." ”

Yang Hao and Cheng Yu walked side by side and said with a smile: "Huaiyin County ignores the difficulties of his colleagues and openly beggars his neighbors, just because Xuyi County's actions have affected his interests and achievements in Huaiyin County. As long as the purchase of grain and rice in a fixed amount is still an examination for the officials of the prefectures and counties, and there is no large surplus of grain and rice output in the localities, then this kind of dispute will never be severed between the local governments, and it will be useless to send anyone to do so, and it will not be able to reconcile. ”

Cheng Yu smiled slightly, and Yang Hao said again: "My lord is a judge of Nanya, and he has handled tens of thousands of cases, you should know that no matter how good the legal system is, it must be implemented by people and obeyed by people, and where there are people, there are different interest groups, so there will never be a monolithic system."

Whether a law or a system can be enforced or not, and to what extent, depends on whether the group that benefits from it is the most powerful among all groups, rather than on justice and justice. The dispute between Huaiyin and Xuyi counties is just a dispute of local interests in line with the interests of the imperial court. ”

Cheng Yu glanced at him with some surprise, he didn't expect this seemingly reckless person to see it so clearly, and at the same time, he was able to be so confident about himself, obviously identifying with his Nanya faction identity and treating himself as his own. Thinking of this, Cheng Yu was very happy in his heart, and he became closer to Yang Hao, so he laughed and said: "Haha, what my brother said is reasonable, this kind of thing can't be complete in all aspects. ”

He glanced at Yang Hao with a smile, and said with a low smile: "The woman on the ship that my brother used to cover up her identity must not have been hired to fill the number, but indeed a family member in my brother's mansion, right?" ”

"Uh......, Brother Cheng has a pair of discerning eyes."

Yang Hao saw that he intended to get close and called himself his brother, so he also changed his name to Brother Cheng, and when he asked about his daughter, his heart jumped: "I knew my whereabouts, and they wouldn't pay attention to it, but ...... Cheng Yu suddenly asked me what the purpose of the lady on the ship was, could it be that he had already noticed the identity of Yan Yan? It's impossible, the conditions of this era have been famous for a long time, and there are many people who don't know it, so he shouldn't know Yanyan. ”

Cheng Yu laughed hesitantly: "I have heard that Brother Yang accepted the baby girl from the Meihu Cave as a concubine. The elder brother can include this delicate baby in the private room, it is really a good fortune, but it is a pity that the newlywed Yan'er was arrested and out of tolerance, hehe, it's okay, now the public and private are both private, let's go to Huaiyin, no one will hinder your good deeds, the elder brother will take the beauty to travel to the scenery of Xuyi. ”

Cheng Yu winked at him again and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, this matter will be kept secret by the brotherhood for you, and no one will know about it." ”

Yang Hao smiled and said: "Thank you Brother Cheng, Brother Cheng and Brother Dexuan went to Huaiyin together, most likely because of Murong and the others, right?" Speaking of which, the brothers' straightforward temperament really can't learn to deal with these weird old foxes, so it's okay for Brother Cheng to deal with them. Alas, now that I think about it, I was happier in dealing with the Qiang people, the same Zhe Domain, and the Yang Domain in Luzhou, at least they were happy and angry, and they would not call them brothers and sisters in front of them, and make swords behind their backs. ”

Cheng Yu's face was hot, and he only said that he was alluding to his past behavior with the officials of the Southern Ya, and he was willing to complain to his face, which showed that he now regarded himself as a family, so Cheng Yu laughed and calmly explained: "This is naturally different, although the Northwest Domains and you and I are both Song Chen, they have nothing to do with it." ”

"Nothing to do with it?"

"Yes, the Northwest Domains are dominated by the Qiang people, and the Qiang people have the fine Feng clan, the Fei Ting clan, the Yeli clan and other tribes, especially the Tuoba clan and the Zhelan clan who were born in the Northern Wei Dynasty are the most powerful, whether it is the Xiazhou Tuoba clan or the Hexi Zhe clan, they are all the big clans of the Northern Tibetans, they have their own territory, they control the agriculture and commerce, collect taxes on their own, appoint officials on their own, although they have not called the country and the king of their land for a long time!

Even if it is the Yang family of Linzhou, who lives in a remote area, is chaotic, dyes the wind of Yidi, and knows little about the life of the imperial court, they are also regarded by the imperial court as an outlier in the Tibetan department. At the beginning, the official family "because of its chieftaincy, Xu Zhi hereditary" inheritance, it was at that time that they could not take care of them so they made this reassuring words, the northwest feudal lords also delusionally thought that our dynasty would follow the old practice of the Tang Dynasty and continue to allow them to be powerful in the northwest, hum, it is really ridiculous! ”

Yang Hao remembered what Zhen Ziyu said, his face couldn't help but change slightly, and Cheng Yu continued: "The last time the official family issued an order to add officials to them and let them enter Beijing as officials, presumably they have already noticed the thoughts of the official family, and they will naturally not have a good face for you, the prefect of the imperial court. And my officials in the Central Plains are very different, even if they have different political views and different subordinates, after all, they are both ministers of the Song court, and they are still connected to the tendons when they break their bones, how can they be compared with those of Fanyi? Haha, what's more, you and I are now on an errand in Nanya, and we should be closer to each other in the future, so Brother Yang should not be worried about the little grievances he suffered at the beginning. ”

"Yes, what Brother Cheng taught is that my brother has been taught."

Yang Hao agreed with a smile, but sighed gloomily in his heart: "Ziyu's statement is not wrong. After all, she is the people of this era, they are the people of this era, they are the people who were born and grew up in Si, and I, a person from later generations, are too far from the people of this era in terms of concept.

At this time, the Chinese and Japanese people are still very friendly, but it would be strange if a person who travels to the streets of Nanjing in 1945 to talk about Sino-Japanese friendship and not be beaten to death by the people. Isn't my so-called concept of the state and the concept of the nation unbelievable and absurd in the eyes of people of this era? It's ridiculous that I take the national concept and the national concept more than a thousand years later and sell it to the heroes and heroes of this era......"

"Huh? What was Brother Yang thinking? ”

"Oh, hehe, the lobsters in Hongze Lake are delicious, and now it's the time for autumn crabs to be pasted, I'm thinking, steal a few days of free time, take the beautiful concubine to Hongze, taste delicious, and have a good time."

Cheng Yu laughed when he heard this, and said: "That is the case, then the brother will not bother, tomorrow the brother will go to Huaiyin, and now I have to go to see the Yunxian order, learn more about the situation, and say goodbye." ”

"Farewell!" Yang Hao smiled and arched his hand, looked at Cheng Yu's back, and his heart suddenly moved: "He went to see Yun Tianxiao, will Yun Tianxiao tell him about the grievances he suffered on the Huai River that day?" ”

After thinking about it, he couldn't help but smile dumbly: "Although Nan Ya is at odds with the Prime Minister, transporting timber and knocking over a small boat is a big deal, why wouldn't Nan Ya make a fuss with such a trivial matter, right?" Besides, although I, Yang Hao, don't hide in trouble, but I don't have anything to do, Ziyu should have returned to the northwest now, except for dolls and flames in the Central Plains, there is no one who can make me care, since the court has never regarded me as its own person, Zhao Er, the guy who specializes in robbing people's wives, and it is difficult to guarantee the idea of not beating my family, this time I went back to Beijing and arranged everything, I should find an opportunity to escape, and pay attention to these things. Go, go, go home and accompany my wife. ”

With his mind already decided, Yang Hao's mood was never calmer and more relaxed, he Shi Shiran walked out of the county yamen, got into the carriage driven by Lao Hei briskly, and ordered: "Let's go, go back to the boat." ”

As soon as the sedan curtain was put down, he leaned on the pillow, Erlang's legs were cocked, his eyes were squinted slightly, and he babbled and hummed: "Hong~~ Zeshui Waves, Waves, Waves, Waves, Waves, a pair of beautiful girls on the shore of Hongze, early in the morning, the boat takes the United States to sightseeing, and comes back in the evening to enter the ~~~ cave room, enter the cave room......"
