Chapter 72 Flood Control Levee Works

Xiao Jiading hurriedly said: "Yes, it is this matter that involves several people. I have his confession. With that, Xiao Jiading took out Liu Xiangzheng's confession from his arms. Before he came, he had already expected that Tang Lin might participate, so he had already thought of finding an opportunity to tell him about it, so he took this confession with him. Now I have this opportunity and take it out.

Tang Lin didn't answer, turned his head to stare at him, obviously, he knew what evidence Xiao Jiading had, and saw Xiao Jiading retract his hand, so he said slowly: "I know all about Lu Dao, what are you going to do?" ”

Xiao Jiading's heart sank, it turned out that the so-called secrets he had mastered, everyone actually mastered them, and said busily: "Because it is related to the high-ranking officials of the government, I don't dare to make claims, and I don't dare to write this part of the content into other records, so as not to startle the snake." I wrote it separately, I kept it myself, and the others didn't know it. I intend to gather enough evidence to provide to the Overseer. They should be able to dispose of it. ”

The supervision of the imperial history is equivalent to the current Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Procuratorate, which is specialized in supervising hundreds of officials.

Tang Lin nodded, and finally showed a smile: "You are very clever, you must be cautious when dealing with such a case." I'll explain to the supervision of the imperial history,—— the name of the person in charge of the supervision of our Jiannan Dao is Cheng Chonghui, and he knows what to do. ”

This is exactly what Xiao Jiading wants, he just can't say it directly, that will give people the impression that he is directing Tang Lin to do things.

Xiao Jiading put away the confession, and said: "There are many high-ranking officials involved in this case, and they are all involved in each other, and it is not realistic to find out at once, bribery is generally one-on-one, it is difficult to obtain evidence, and there must be a breakthrough." Therefore, I would like to choose one of the officials as a breakthrough, and after hitting the collection of evidence, the inspector will interrogate him, so as to find more clues. However, I don't know where to open the breakthrough. ”

Tang Lin thought for a while and said: "Your county lieutenant Deng Quansheng of Shaocheng County can open a gap from him, he has a low official character, except for Zhong Facao, there is no other backer, and as long as there is evidence in this matter, Zhong Facao does not dare to protect him, for fear of setting himself on fire." Therefore, it is less difficult to move him, if you directly move an official like Zhong Facao, there are people behind him, and the resistance to the difficulty will be great, unless there is very sufficient evidence. ”

This idea is the same as what Xiao Jiading thought, so he has arranged for Huiyi to investigate the property of County Lieutenant Deng's family and monitor his whereabouts. Sufficient evidence has been obtained. He didn't close the net, he just wanted to touch Tang Lin's attitude. As long as you have his support, you can rest assured that you can do it boldly. Now that he has received Tang Lin's approval, Xiao Jiading is very happy. I decided to do it as soon as I got back.

Xiao Jiading said again: "There is another case to report to the boss - the brother-in-law of the governor Shi was jealous for the ** woman, and killed people on the street, killing one dead and many injured. The case has been put on hold at the county government for nearly a year. ”

"Is there such a thing?" Tang Lin frowned slightly, Tang Law stipulated that the time limit for the arrest and trial of a murder case was one month. If you have to hit the board after the deadline, you have to hit the board. But the case has already been solved, and the trial took nearly a year. To paraphrase a modern term, this is called "extended detention". As for what will appear, Tang Lin has been engaged in prison litigation for many years, so he doesn't know.

He said to Xiao Jiading: "I will let Cheng Chonghui explain this matter to him and let him deal with it." He is a good person, he was promoted when I was serving in the Imperial History Observatory, he is honest and selfless, and he is proficient in criminal law. You will have the opportunity to socialize with him more in the future. ”

"Okay, the person recommended by the boss is definitely worth handing!"

Tang Lin glanced at him and said: "Your poetry is very good, this is a very rare ability, if you grasp it well, it can help you go further in your career." So, you have to take advantage of various opportunities to show your talents to the fullest. The annual Yizhou Poetry Festival is coming soon, and you have to fight for the championship. This is a great opportunity for you to make a name for yourself. Can't miss it. ”

Xiao Jiading smiled and said: "The boss's words have gone to my heart, and I will definitely do it." By the way, I have already participated in the Bailu Poetry Society of our Shaocheng Yamen, and I want to face off against the Tiaozhihua Poetry Society of the Yamen of the state capital, I heard that the boss is going to participate as a referee, right? ”

Tang Lin smiled and nodded: "Yes, the duel between the two of you Yamen's poetry club can be said to be the preliminary round of the Yizhou Poetry Club." Because the first talented man and the first talented woman in Yizhou are in your two poetry clubs, many people are very concerned about this showdown, and it will also greatly affect the judge's judgment in the back. You have to work hard, and I heard that the Tiaozhihua Poetry Society also invited a very powerful talent to join, named He is from the capital, and he is very famous among the literati in the capital, and I heard that he is also a poet with quick thinking, and the speed of writing poems is extremely fast. You can't help but be vigilant. ”

Cut! No matter how fast the talent is, it can't be as fast as Lao Tzu's plagiarism. Afraid of a ball!

He thought so in his heart, but his face was solemn, and he said: "Yes, thank you for the reminder, but I don't know what the name of this talented man from the capital is?" ”

"Lu Zhaolin!"

Xiao Jiading was stunned.

Lu Zhaolin, together with Wang Bo, Yang Jiong, and Luo Binwang, is known as the "Four Masters of the Early Tang Dynasty"! A famous figure in the early days of Tang poetry, he wrote a famous sentence that has been passed down through the ages: "If you have to become a star, why die, I am willing to be a mandarin duck and not envy an immortal." This is one of Xiao Jiading's favorite quotes!

I didn't expect to see the great poet I admired. Xiao Jiading was a little excited, but then he laughed at himself: Happy fart, people are opponents, and they will compete with him in the future, although they have a belly of famous stories through the ages, it is not difficult to defeat him, but it is really boring to use plagiarized poetry to defeat a real famous poet.

Tang Lin saw Xiao Jiading like this and asked, "What?" Have you heard of his name? ”

Although Lu Zhaolin became famous very early, under the extremely backward communication conditions in ancient times, his fame would definitely not spread too widely. So Xiao Jiading shook his head and said, "I just heard that he is from the capital, and the boss is so solemn, he must be a strong rival." ”

"Yes, if you can defeat him, then your fame will soon spread throughout the capital. He is the five coherent poetry clubs in the capital! This time I was specially invited to participate in the Yizhou Poetry Club, and somehow, I joined the Tiaozhihua Poetry Club of the state capital Yamen. ”

Tang Lin saw that Xiao Jiading's expression was a little strange, so he asked, "What's wrong?" Not confident? In fact, if you want me to evaluate, your poems are not inferior to him, so far I know that the poems you have written can be said to be basically excellent, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they have been passed down through the ages. So, you don't have to be afraid of him at all! ”

Xiao Jiading immediately straightened his chest and said, "Okay!" The boss is right, it's a mule or a horse, pull it out and you'll know it! ”

"Hmmm! It must be like what you wrote when you met friends with poetry: five cars of poetry and courage, eight buckets of talent! You have to show the courage to sweep everything, believe in yourself, you will definitely be able to defeat Lu Zhaolin, and let every literati in the capital know your name! ”

Xiao Jiading couldn't help but feel a little strange when he heard him say it impassionedly, it seems that this old man is even more anxious than himself? Could it be that winning the championship in his own poetry will also be his move?

Well, if that's the case, you'll have to be careful.

He pondered in his heart, but his face was full of fighting spirit inspired by Tang Lin's words, and he was equally impassioned.

Xiao Jiading's performance made Tang Lin very satisfied, he squinted at him, and said slowly: "I heard that the imperial court will build the Jinjiang flood control embankment in the area of Huayuan Township and Wutai Township in Shaocheng County in April this year, which is a big project in the whole country this year, and it can benefit many people on both sides of the strait!" ”

After that, she glanced at Xiao Jiading again.

Xiao Jiading was slightly stunned, how could he talk about the project in a good way? Tang Lin was a high-ranking official in the Ministry of Officials and the Criminal Department, who had never been in contact with any project construction, nor was he a local administrator who directly managed the people, so how could he be interested in a flood control levee project?

In a daze, he saw the meaningful taste in Tang Lin's eyes clearly by the light of the lantern hanging on the cabin, and he couldn't help but move in his heart. When Tang Lin said this project just now, he said it very carefully, and directly mentioned the specific construction location and construction time of the project, is this reminding himself of something?

Construction project, that is a big money thing, Xiao Jiading from the modern society of course has a deep understanding of this, his agent customers are many builder bosses, see all of them are rich and spendthrift like dirt to make him very impressed.

Tang Lin has said earlier that he is not opposed to officials making money, as long as he does not run it himself, and it is legal to make money, he actually accepts it in his heart, because this can make officials rich, so that they will not be interested in bribery and other things, that is, to achieve the so-called "high salary and honesty" purpose. Now, he deliberately told himself the news, did he want to remind himself to think of something in this?

After crossing the Tang Dynasty, he also had some understanding of the construction of the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty implemented the regulation of rent and yong stipulates that each ding shall serve 20 days of conscription every year, which is an obligation, and bring his own food and no wages, and add 15 days of service to avoid his transfer, and if he serves for 30 days, the rent and adjustment will be completely exempted. These conscripts are mainly used for national construction projects, including water conservancy projects such as flood control levees, which are all volunteered by migrant workers. Therefore, in the large-scale state-invested construction projects in the Tang Dynasty, there was no so-called construction company or construction team in the modern sense, but the local government organized the local people to volunteer to work.

In this way, how to make money on the construction projects of the Tang Dynasty?

He didn't understand, but he was sure that Tang Lin's proposal must have his intentions, it was definitely not said casually, but it was the intention of making himself rich! As for how to make a fortune, it depends on his own understanding, it is impossible for a high-ranking official like him to give himself such a specific designation, and it will already help a lot if he can point out a way.

So, Xiao Jiading hurriedly bowed his hand with joy: "Yes, yes, the emperor's grace is mighty, and the people are grateful to Dade!" ”

This is talking about the emperor's grace, but his eyes are looking at Tang Lin, and he is obviously thanking him for revealing the news and pointing out the way to make money.

Tang Lin saw that Xiao Jiading understood, Ha Lu Ha Da Lu smiled, and waved his hand: "Go back!" ”
