Although Xiao Jiasui has never been out of office, he has the talent to govern the world, and it didn't take long to govern the people outside the park in an orderly manner.

Shi Jin finally didn't have to worry about those things that couldn't be sorted out.

While Yangsan was busy with disaster relief, Sun Jing, the governor of Jeju, was worried and worried.

Hundreds of thousands of victims gathered outside Yangshan Shuibo, and if Yangsan coerced these people into rebellion, Jeju would probably be attacked in an instant, but he could not disperse these people.

In order to reduce the number of people gathered outside the berth, he has done his best to provide disaster relief, but many state capitals in Shandong and Hebei have failed to provide disaster relief, and there have been displaced people in various places, but it is not his small Jeju that can stop these displaced people.

He also reported the situation, but when he heard that Tong Guan had defeated Western Xia in the west, many people made meritorious contributions, and of course rewards were indispensable.

The reward in the army cannot be delayed, otherwise the Western Army will make trouble, and the entire Great Song Dynasty will not be able to stand it.

Tong Guan had spent countless money and food before, and now he wants to reward him, which can be said to make the already somewhat tense treasury a little stretched.

What's more, there is basically a famine in the north this year, and there are more displaced people in the Gyeonggi area, so how can the imperial court have so much money to manage all the victims.

If it was in the early years, such a situation would not have come to such a point for the wealthy Great Song Dynasty.

But in recent years, Cai Jing advocated Fengheng Yuda, blindly let the son of today enjoy himself, just Hua Shigang alone does not know how much money has been spent, and in addition to the great joy of the Son of Heaven, let Tong Guan continue to use force against Western Xia in the west, and the treasury has long been tight.

Cai Jing was a little happy after hearing that Liangshan released grain for disaster relief, he didn't believe that Liangshan would rebel. For example, although there is a famine today, the foundation of the Great Song Dynasty has not been shaken. Whoever dares to rebel, send a large army. It can be extinguished in an instant.

Therefore, Cai Jing's palindrome to Jeju was to closely monitor Yangsan's movements, and once Yangsan had any bad behavior, the imperial court would immediately send a large army to exterminate it.

Of course, before that, you don't have to worry about Liangshan.

Now that the imperial treasury is tight, how can there be money and grain to send troops to exterminate the little Liangshan bandits.

The court doesn't care, and Jeju doesn't have that ability.

Sun Jing could only send some more people to monitor Yangsan's movements, and at the same time let the Jeju forbidden army strengthen its vigilance to prevent Yangsan bandits from attacking the city.

There is an old official in Jeju whose surname is Wang Mingjin. That man was poisoned in his life, and everyone called him the "King of Heart".

This Wang Jin loves to figure out people's thoughts, and when he saw that Zhizhou was frowning for days, coupled with the transfer of people in the state, he came to offer advice, and said: "Xianggong is worried about the Liangshan thieves? ”

Sun Jing nodded and said: "Exactly, if the thieves coerce the victims to attack the city, I am afraid that the soldiers and horses in the city will not be able to stop it for a day." ”

Wang Jin said: "According to the villain's humble opinion, the Liangshan thieves should not make trouble. That Liangshan Shijin is not a stupid person. The imperial court has 800,000 forbidden troops, how can he shake it with those defenseless people. Moreover, he is known as a benevolent and righteous person, so he should not coerce the people to do the thing that sent them to death. ”

Sun Jing shook his head and said: "For the sake of heaven, in the name of benevolence and righteousness." It can't be said to be just a tool to realize his ambitions. Although this Shi Jin is young, he is a hero. ”

Wang Jin said: "If he is a hero, he should know that there is no good end to the chaos now." In his past. Most of them will still lie dormant in Liangshan, just spreading some fame. I can't say that I still want to use these reputations to change the court to recruit peace. However, he recruited Lin Chong, who wanted to kill Captain Gao. Yang Zhi, Chao Gai and others, who robbed Tai Sheng Chengang, wanted to recruit An, but it was a little difficult. After all, he is still a little younger, and he can't say that he just wants to be a king in the mountains and forests. ”

Sun Jing nodded and said, "When the Taishi and Taiwei free their hands, they will send another army to exterminate Liangshan, and they will never be appeased." ”

Wang Jin knew that Sun Jing and the new regimental training envoy Niu Bangxi were both Gao Yu's henchmen, and when he heard Sun Jing say this, he said: "This Liangshan thief has recruited many soldiers and horses from the victims, and with the help of Lin Chong and other thief prime ministers, the imperial court will send a large army to recruit An, but I am afraid that it will not be easy." If you want to exterminate Liangshan, you have to find another way. ”

"Oh?"

Sun Jing finally heard something fresh, looked at Wang Jin and said, "What do you think?" Let's hear it. ”

Wang Jin smiled: "We can divide them from the inside, and then exterminate them." ”

Sun Jing listened and said, "You mean to buy or recruit some of them?" ”

Wang Jin nodded and said: "Exactly, there are many leaders in Liangshan, there must be people who hope to recruit peace, as long as the prime minister gives them some promises, when the two armies fight, let them fight back, or cut off the way for the thieves to retreat, why worry about not being able to exterminate them." ”

Sun Jing frowned and said: "What you said is right, except for Shi Jin, Lin Chong, Yang Zhi, and Chao Gai, it is not impossible to recruit others." But if there are no competent people, how can they be approached? ”

Wang Jin said: "The villain knows a person, if he can let him go to Liangshan, he will definitely be able to recruit some leaders." ”

Sun Jing saw that Wang Jin had already thought about it, so she didn't ask again, just nodded.

Wang Jin naturally didn't dare to wait for Sun Jing to ask, and then said: "This person is the secretary of Yuncheng County, surnamed Song Mingjiang, although he is a small official, but he has a great reputation in the rivers and lakes, and they all call him to be Song Jiang in time." In the past, he also took in many outlaws, and the minister allowed him an official position, which should allow him to work. ”

Sun Jing nodded and said, "Timely rain Song Jiang?" ”

Wang Jin said: "I heard that he often spreads coffin bait, helps the poor, the urgency of the Zhou people, and helps the poor of the people, which is famous for Shandong and Hebei, and they all call him a timely rain; But he compared him to the timely rain in the sky, which can save all things. ”

Sun Jing said with a smile: "When he said this, he was a benevolent person, and now that he has this opportunity to serve the court, he should not miss it." ”

Wang Jin said: "This person also has a nickname called Zhongxiao Hei Saburo, and now that the prime minister has given him a chance to be loyal, he should not refuse." ”

Sun Jing nodded and said, "Okay, I'll let people pass on Song Jiang." Go down first, and if this is done, you will not be able to do it. ”

"Yes."

Wang Jin got Zhizhou's promise, and happily withdrew.

Sun Jing immediately called a powerful person around him to go to Yuncheng County to find Song Jiang.

Song Jiang was handling official business in the yamen, and when he heard that someone was looking for him, he came out of the yamen.

When I arrived outside, I saw that it was a person with a face, and arched my hand and said, "What is the matter with Song Jiang who is not enough?" ”

The man said: "I am from the palace of the governor of Jeju, and this time I came to invite Song Absis to meet the prime minister, and I also asked Song Absa not to delay." ”

"Zhizhou Xianggong?"

Although he has some power in Yuncheng County, he is just a small official, when will he be able to enter the eyes of the state minister.

Song Jiang arched his hand full of doubts and said, "Dare to ask the prime minister what he told Song Jiang to do?" ”

The man shook his head and said, "I don't know, the prime minister only asked me to invite you, and told me not to let others know." If you don't believe, I have here the seal of the Jeju Yamen. ”

Song Jiang read this person's letter, it was indeed Jeju who was a public official, and he didn't dare to slack off at the moment, so he invited this person to sit in the teahouse on the side, beckoned Dr. Tea to serve tea, and said, "I'll go and explain some affairs of the yamen and come out, you eat a cup of tea first." ”

"Okay, don't delay for a long time, lest you be in a hurry."

"Yes."

Song Jiang walked to the Yamen, and soon came out and followed this person to Jeju.

There was nothing to say all the way, and when he entered the Jeju Yamen, this person asked Song Jiang to wait for a while, and then went to report.

After a while, he came out and led Song Jiangjing from the back study.

Song Jiang came to Jeju to be a public servant before, and he also met Sun Jing.

When he entered the study, he saw Sun Jing sitting there, and hurriedly saluted.

Sun Jing nodded and let Song Jiang sit down.

Song Jiang carefully sat on half of the chair and asked, "I don't know what the adults called Song Jiang to call, what are your orders?" ”

Sun Jing said: "I heard that you have a good reputation in the rivers and lakes? ”

Most of the time, the rivers and lakes and the public are opposed.

When Song Jiang heard this, he hurriedly said: "Song Jiang usually likes Zhou Ji people, so he has a little reputation, but he never dares to cross the line. ”

Sun Jing smiled and said, "It's okay, I have a great credit for you, are you willing?" ”

Song Jiang heard that Sun Jing first asked him about the rivers and lakes, and then said the credit, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this matter on the rivers and lakes of Jeju probably can't be separated from Liangshan, and suddenly said worriedly: "Please make it public." ”

Sun Jing said: "Yuncheng County is close to Liangshan, you must also know about Liangshan." First, Shi Jin led people to kill the squires and plundered villages and towns, and later took in Yang Zhi, Chao Gai and others who robbed the Tai Tai Sheng Chengang, as well as Lin Chong, who was disrespectful to the Tai Lieutenant. Then he fought against the imperial army several times and killed officers and soldiers, which can be said to be a great evil. It is really a big trouble for the imperial court, and the Taishi and Taiwei are also very worried, once the famine is over, they will send a large army to exterminate the Liangshan bandits again. It's just that there are many outlaws in this Liangshan thief, and if they fight hard, the soldiers and horses of the court will inevitably suffer great casualties. Therefore, this official wants to ask you to go to Liangshan to recruit some Liangshan leaders, and act at that time to exterminate the Liangshan bandits. It can not only reduce the casualties of the imperial court's soldiers and horses, but also save some Liangshan leaders. What do you think? ”

When Song Jiang heard this, he hurriedly said: "The villain is only a little famous, and his martial arts are not high, and he may not be able to be a leader even if he goes to Liangshan, I'm afraid he can't get close to them." It is better to send a person with strong martial arts, and when he goes, he will definitely be a leader, and it will be convenient to act. ”

Sun Jing shook his head and said: "I can't find a suitable person for a while, and the military generals of the DPRK and China can't go." I asked a few people before, and they all said that you have a great reputation, and when Shi Jin didn't come to Shandong earlier, you were famous in Shandong and Hebei. You must know that Liangshan is a big trouble for the Taishi and Taiwei, as long as you can do this, the Taishi and Taiwei will inevitably have your benefits. Otherwise, if you are a small official, you will never want to be an official in this life. I can hear that you are loyal and filial, this matter can not only serve the country, but also glorify the lintel, what are you hesitating about? ”

However, there was a gap between the officials and officials of the Song Dynasty, if there was no opportunity, it would be difficult to be an official for one day and for life.

Song Jiang hesitated slightly, and said cautiously: "Don't hide it from the minister, there were people on the rivers and lakes who lured me to Liangshan to join the gang before, but I refused. If I go to Liangshan to join the gang again, I will inevitably be suspected by them. It's not that I don't want to, it's that Song Jiang can't do it. ”

Sun Jing smiled: "Then it will cause a lawsuit, as long as this thing is done, any crime can be eliminated." (To be continued......)
