"There's a few rat droppings in the bad dish! Check it out! Zhao Zhen said and handed the information to Zhang Rou.

Zhang Rou glanced at it and asked, "What are these people doing?" Why are you stopping me from hiring? ”

Zhao Zhen: "These guys are all officials of our dynasty on the surface, among them Duan Shaolian and Jia Changchao are representatives. Duan Shaolian is not young, he is now a member of the Criminal Department, and Jia Changchao is also the original Guozijian storyteller, and now he is teaching at the Royal Academy. These two people are from the vicinity of Kaifeng, their families have rich assets, a lot of land, and they have a lot of influence in the Kaifeng generation. This time, we recruited people to build roads, so that many people chose to give up renting their fields, which affected the interests of others, so they naturally came to wear small shoes for you! ”

Zhang Rou: "However, since they are court officials, they should know that you decide to build the road!" Why do they have the audacity to wreak havoc? ”

Zhao Zhen sighed: "This person, how can he care so much for his own interests!" Besides, they didn't directly jump out against it, but just hinted that the juniors in the family played some tricks. The common people in this era have no sense of security, and they are frightened by their rumors, coupled with some threatening means, so they naturally have to obey. After all, in the eyes of the common people, our emperor is still too far away from them, and those who are the 'living Hades' in front of them are the most fatal, and it is normal to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages! ”

Zhang Rou: "Then husband, what are your plans?" ”

"Hmph......" Zhao Zhen sneered: "These old things, if you play yin with me, I'll let them all play with birds!" Wife, let's give them a two-pronged approach, you still continue to recruit people, and you have to send more people to the countryside to recruit people, if anyone dares to stop them, write it down, and wait for me to collect evidence and then settle accounts with them. And my side also urges the military department to speed up and strive to arrange the construction corps in place as soon as possible. ”

"I had to do it first!" Zhang Rou said helplessly: "Speaking of which, we have a large population in the Great Song Dynasty, but everyone is still used to digging in the soil, and they are reluctant to come out to work for others unless they are forced to do so, and there are not many people who can change their ideas!" ”

"yes!" Zhao Zhen Yinghe said: "Thousands of years, countless generations, the accumulated thinking pattern is not easy to change, but I believe it will change in the future." ”

……

It is said that when Zhao Zhen and his family were discussing countermeasures, Jia Changchao was also discussing this matter at Duan Shaolian's home. Because Duan Shaolian is a veteran jinshi in the seven-year discipline of Dazhong Xiangfu, although Jia Changchao said that he was a genuine jinshi in the first year of Tianxi, after all, when he was admitted to the Jinshi, he had been mixed in the court for more than ten years, so he still had a slight gap with others in terms of prestige.

After three rounds of drinking, Jia Chang, whose face was slightly red, raised his wine glass to Duan Shaolian and said: "Brother Xiyi, sure enough, Jiang is still old and spicy, and a small trick will make the queen's plan to recruit people end without a problem, my brother admires it, come and toast you!" ”

"Hahaha! Carving insect skills, not enough to worry about teeth! Duan Shaolian smiled and said: "Brother Ziming, we can't be careless, with the old man's understanding of the saint, this contest has just begun!" ”

Jia Changchao: "Brother Xiyi is right, we still have to cheer up, today's saints are full of strange tricks, and if you don't do it, you will be trapped." You said that the Holy God didn't let these mud legs dig well in the ground, so he had to recruit them to build roads, and it was enough to recruit more labor for road repairs, so why do you have to spend that unjust money! To tell the truth, my brother is not sure that he will be able to fight against the saint this time, but he is just unwilling to let those mud-legged people think nonsense. ”

Duan Shaolian smashed a sip of wine: "If you weren't worried that there was no one to plant the land in your house, who would want to do this kind of grudge against the emperor!" It's all forced! In fact, from the beginning, the old man never thought that he could fight the saint, otherwise we would have met directly a long time ago, and I don't know what Kou Zhun taught at the beginning, and the stubbornness of the saint today is too serious, and the old man has to use this kind of trick that cannot be put on the stage, hoping that the queen can retreat from the difficulties and recruit people in another place! ”

"What Brother Xiyi said is very true!" Jia Changchao nodded and said: "Since the queen came to the capital, she has not stopped, opening restaurants, supermarkets, and textile factories...... A lot of things were done, and a lot of people were recruited, so that the labor force around Gyeonggi became less and less. Think about the time when there was any work to do, you could find people everywhere and it didn't cost you much. But now! Not only are there fewer people, even if you find it, you have to bargain, and the temper is spoiled by the queen's mother, we have to set up rules for those mud legs, otherwise it won't be all messed up in the future! ”

Duan Shaolian: "Brother Ziming is right! The emperor and the queen are young and young, and we old ministers can't sit idly by. Besides, if these mud legs don't farm anymore, what will happen to our thousands of acres of thin fields? You can't afford not to plant it! In that case, we'll be fine for a year or two, but the mud legs won't have to play! ”

Jia Changchao: "Right! How do you say that in the words of the Holy Lord? Oh, by the way, we're doing good for those mud-legged people who don't know what to do! ”

"Come on, come on, full!" Duan Shaolian picked up the wine jug and poured it for him: "Let's not talk about these bad things, let's get drunk today, how about it?" ”

Jia Changchao: "As you wish!" ”

……

A rare guest came to the palace, a girl with a sword almost as high as her, and staggered to the gate of the vertical arch hall. Strangely, such a strange fellow appeared in the palace, and the guards glanced at her and turned to the side, as if they were afraid of being targeted by her.

Strange to say, she swaggered everywhere else, but when she arrived at the door of this vertical arch hall, she hesitated. She lay on the edge of the door, revealing half of her face, her two big eyes turned in circles to scan the situation inside, until she saw Zhao Zhen beckoning to her, and then slowly shook in.

Zhao Zhen: "Don't rub it in, your father is not here, come here!" ”

This product is Bao Zheng's daughter Bao Nimei, who is now a famous "witch" in the capital, which can be called a ghost. She can create such a big name has nothing to do with his father, uh, of course, it can't be said that at least Bao Zheng still contributed a little bit of genetics.

Of course, she just liked to watch her dad investigate cases before, and slowly she also liked to investigate cases. But in the end, she became crazy because she saw a novel "Detective Di Renjie" written by an anonymous guy, and since then she has regarded herself as a detective and idolized Di Renjie hundreds of years ago. The facts tell us that a girl chasing stars is difficult to reason! From now on, everyone looks like a crime, and I can't wait to ask him about his ancestors for eight generations, and the backstage is very hard, and few people dare to treat her like this. So, the ghost is well deserved!

However, she is unusually well-behaved now, and she leaned in front of Zhao Zhen and said glutinously: "Student Bao Nimei see the emperor!" ”

If Zhao Zhen didn't know her well, maybe he would have been deceived by her appearance, so Zhao Zhen said to her unceremoniously: "Excuse me!" Your father is not here, who are you pretending to be a good girl to show you! Get up and speak well! ”

Bao Nimei: "Your Majesty, you can wronged the student, the student is well-behaved!" ”

"Blow! Blow on! I'm about to be turned over by you, is this still good? By the way, if I lose something next time, will I ask you directly? Zhao Zhen quipped.

Bao Nimei stretched out a finger and said weakly: "Your Majesty, how can it be as exaggerated as you said!" Student...... Aren't students just small ...... The little one checked it, it's a guard! Students, this is also for your safety, in case there are bad people among them! Isn't it? ”

Zhao Zhen: "Then I ask you, in your eyes, who is not a bad person?" ”

Bao Nimei blurted out: "Your Majesty! And the Queen! Well, the concubines are also good people! And my dad and Xiao Puzi...... Well, it's still quite a lot of good people! ”

Zhao Zhen: "Since you think I am a good person, then I have a question that I have always wanted to ask you, why are you so scared every time you see me?" ”

"Cause...... Because ......" Bao Nimei stared at the roof with her eyes, and said weakly: "Xiao Puzi said that you have great magical powers and boundless mana, if you look at me unpleasantly, you will use thunder to chop me to death, I don't want to be killed by thunder, it's too ugly......"

Burst! Fortunately, Zhao Zhen quickly covered his mouth and struggled to hold back his laughter, so he pretended to be serious and said, "Well, your little Puzi is right!" I do have great powers and boundless mana, so you have to be obedient, you know! ”

Bao Nimei: "The student must be very well-behaved!" ”

Zhao Zhen: "That's good! I happen to have something for you to do, don't you like to investigate cases, I just let you investigate cases this time! ”

Bao Nimei: "Your Majesty, what is the case?" Students haven't heard of any big cases happening recently! ”

Zhao Zhen: "This case is not big, but it is not small. Didn't I plan to build a road, so I asked the queen to send someone to recruit workers, but someone obstructed me and obstructed my order, which is very hateful! I want you to find evidence and arrest them, can you do that? ”

Bao Nimei said boldly: "Can be capable...... But Your Majesty, shouldn't you give your students an official! ”

Zhao Zhen: "Why are you such a young official?" ”

Bao Nimei pouted and said: "Daddy always said that I don't want to be an official for a girl's family, I just want to get an official for him to see!" Hum! Besides, the student is not young, and he will be fourteen years old in a few days! ”

Zhao Zhen: "That's it! Your father doesn't look good with a straight face all day long, so I'll help you vent your anger and give you what kind of official will you be? I think about it...... With that, how about I give you an independent investigator? ”

"Yes, yes!" Bao Nimei smiled and agreed: "Your Majesty, this is the only ...... Independent Investigator, what kind of product is it? Is there a big official with my father? ”

Swish! Zhao Zhen's face turned black all of a sudden, how much resentment Lao Bao had accumulated for his girl! He had no choice but to say helplessly: "Child, you think too much, you are still a temporary worker as an independent investigator, and before you become a regular, you are a tasteless, do you know?" ”

"Okay!" Bao Nimei pouted again, and the next second she said confidently: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the student will work hard to become a regular!" ”

Zhao Zhen: "I'm optimistic about you!" Go for it! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Bao Nimei followed the example of an adult, held the sword in both hands, and said loudly: "Students go!" ”

Zhao Zhen looked at her floating back, couldn't help but shake his head, and muttered: "I usually look like a very smart child, and the case has indeed been solved a lot, why did you believe the nonsense of this kid Wei Pu?" Is it because of love? Tsk, that's kind of interesting! ”

In the history of the Great Song Dynasty, the first independent investigator stepped onto the stage of history in such a rather unscrupulous background, and it was a girl who was entrusted with an important task as a temporary worker, and I think that future historians will be drunk when they think about it.

After another half a month, Bao Nimei finally fulfilled her mission and brought back the "evidence" that Zhao Zhen needed, and immediately arrested the "rat" gang headed by Jia Changchao and Duan Shaolian with lightning speed, and used it to obstruct the development of the country, disrupt social order, and intimidate innocent people...... and a series of crimes, their fame was removed, all of them were demoted to commoners, and most of their family property was confiscated.

Before everyone could come to their senses, Zhao Zhen finished his work in a hurry, which frightened other people who intended to follow the trend into a cold sweat. After such a toss, nearly a month was wasted, but the construction of the first railway in history finally began...... (To be continued.) )
