In April of the first year of Kaiqing, the city of Quanzhou was full of vitality. The south wind rose, and the fleets of all boats in the South China Sea began to move north, filling the docks and berths of Quanzhou, a famous maritime city. Merchants from all walks of life come here to buy all kinds of goods brought by the fleet heading north, and the flow of people, goods, and money makes the city full of vitality.

Pu Shiwen, the eldest son of the Pu family in Quanzhou, was not happy because of his own money, others watched the Pu family make money, and the Pu family saw themselves in danger. The smell of mosquito coils transported by Zhao Jiaren began to waft in Quanzhou again, and even Pu Shiwen's family had it. This made Pu Shiwen's blue eyes, which were comparable to huskies, filled with murderous aura.

Last year, he sent someone to burn Qi Ye's perfume shop, and Qi Ye opened another one, and it didn't take long for Pu Shiwen to send someone to burn it again. After doing this on his own initiative, Pu Shiwen was beaten by his father Pu Shougeng. In fact, Pu Shiwen also felt a little regretful after finishing the matter. He clearly felt that the attitude of the merchants around him who used to have a good relationship with the Pu family had changed slightly, which is difficult to describe with what happened concretely. It has to be said, it is as if the smell of perfume suddenly appeared in the middle of the previous direct relationship. I can't see it, I can't touch it, but it clearly establishes a layer of demarcation between the Pu family and many collaborators.

The unfortunate thing is not only that, last year, seven or eight Cham and Dashi merchants who worked closely with the Pu family lost more than a dozen merchant ships. The merchant ship and its cargo and people disappeared without a trace, and there was no trace of it. As the big boss behind the pirate forces, the Pu family knew that it was not the hands of the pirates they controlled. And apart from the pirates they control, there are no pirates here who can do such a big thing.

Pu Shiwen knew that Zhao Jiaren did it, and he even had a strong urge to sue the official, but he couldn't come up with a little evidence. While the urge to avenge his friend was boiling in Pu Shi's bra, Zhao Jiaren, the murderer, was soaring in his official career. The Southern Song Dynasty had very complicated official positions, and Pu Shiwen consulted many people who knew the official system of the Southern Song Dynasty, so he had a little idea.

Every official under the Southern Song Dynasty bureaucracy had an official, a position, and a dispatch. For example, Zhao Jiaren, the murderer, is now sent to 'Fujian Road Tidian Prison'. Compared with the real power of Quanzhou Zhizhou, Fujian Lutidian Prison is quite inferior. But the dispatch is a real power, Quanzhou Zhizhou and Quanzhou City Bo Division, in Quanzhou has great power, Zhao Jiaren can't compete with Quanzhou Zhizhou when he arrives in Quanzhou, but Quanzhou Zhizhou can't be sent like Zhao Jiaren on Fujian Road.

As long as he left Quanzhou, Quanzhou Zhizhou was just a Quanzhou Zhizhou, and he couldn't use his power to do anything to a county lieutenant outside Quanzhou. Zhao Jiaren could use the dispatch of the prison to impeach the officials of the entire Fujian Road. Regardless of whether impeachment can be recognized or not, at least this is the real power that Zhao Jiaren has.

Dispatch is real power, and the officials of the Great Song Dynasty do not only have real power. They have officials, offices, and assignments. The official is the 'Jilu official', and what is determined is the level of Yulu, that is, the level of treatment. For example, Dr. Jin Ziguanglu, Dr. Zhengyi, Chao Yulang, and other loose officials who have no actual authority at all. If Zhao Jiaren becomes 'Doctor Jin Ziguanglu' one day, this does not mean that Zhao Jiaren really has the real power of 'Doctor', it just means that Zhao Jiaren will take this level of money.

The other is the official position, for example, from the six rank of the official has the living room, the living house, the imperial history, the left and right division members of the Wailang, the right Wendian / Secret Pavilion repair, Kaifeng Shaoyin, Kaifeng Mansion Judge / Push Official, Shaofu / General / Military Weapons Young Eunuch, and An/Chenghe/Cheng'an Doctor, Lingtai Order. These officers have nothing to do with errands, but only to determine the level of position. For example, the official is Kaifeng Shaoyin, and it has nothing to do with taking up a post in Kaifeng Mansion.

Pu Shiwen knew that Zhao Jiaren, a bastard, had improved by leaps and bounds in his position last year, which did not make this guy's real power errand change in the slightest, nor would it increase his rank, but it meant that Zhao Jiaren was valued by the imperial court. Once Zhao Jiaren finishes the grinding of the Fujian Lutidian Prison, he will have the opportunity to have a higher 'Jilu official', get more salary, get a higher-level errand, and have more real power.

As the biggest enemy in Pu Shiwen's heart at this time, Pu Shiwen can't wait for Zhao Jiaren to die tomorrow, instead of watching Zhao Jiaren, who is ruthless and extremely capable, rise step by step. What should I do? Pu Shiwen carefully calculated, but couldn't find a way to deal with it.

Just when Pu Shiwen was thinking about it, Pu Ali sneaked in, approached Pu Shiwen's side and said, "Young master, I heard that the people who came to buy spices from Lin'an said that the Mongols went south, and it seems that the Great Song Dynasty can't support it. ”

"What?" Pu Shi Wenden felt a strong burst of joy, he stared at Pu Ali and asked, "Really?" ”

Pu Ali nodded vigorously, "That's true, I'm afraid of being mistaken, and in the past four or five days, I have asked a lot of vendors from Lin'an." They said that the Mongol soldiers went south and captured many cities in Sichuan. The court shook. And there was an official in the court who asked the official to dismiss Ding Daquan, Ding Daquan hated this person deeply and sent this person to the army. Then the man sang a song and went out from Lin'an Street, and there were many students who saw him off, shouting slogans to stop the prime minister, and thousands of onlookers watched. According to those students, the Mongols were about to reach the Yangtze River, and as long as they crossed the river, they would be able to attack Lin'an. ”

Pu Shiwen felt that his heart was as comfortable as drinking honey at first, and then he felt as if he had dried flowers in his heart, and the whole person was restless. With strong emotions, Pu Shiwen immediately went to his father Pu Shougeng to report the matter. First of all, he said what Pu Ali said as much as he could, and Pu Shiwen then said happily: "Dad, if that's the case, let's quickly send someone to contact the Mongols." I've heard that many of the Mongols are Semu. ”

After listening to his son's suggestion, Pu Shougeng glanced at his son and asked in a mocking tone: "If the Great Song Dynasty is really as those people said, it will soon be unbearable, how can those people be in the mood to come to Quanzhou to buy spices and rhino horn?" ”

Pu Shiwen didn't expect his father to look at the problem like this, he wanted to defend a few words, but he couldn't say anything. Indeed, those people are doing Lin'an's business, and if Lin'an is about to be attacked by the Mongols, those people will not go to Quanzhou to buy spices, but to take refuge and flee for their lives.

Thinking about his own Meng Lang, Pu Shiwen couldn't help but be speechless. He said fiercely: "Ali, this dog minion, dares to lie to me, watch me go out and let him eat the whip!" ”

"There's no need to rush." Pu Shougeng calmly waved his hand and said: "It should be true that Mongolia is going south, but you can send someone to contact the Mongolian army." It's always good not to go to the Mongols now, to see. ”

Hearing this, Pu Shiwen had a sincere smile on his face. He originally thought that his father was loyal to the Great Song Dynasty, but he was dissatisfied with Zhao Jiaren. Now I see that I and my father are actually like-minded, and they are both dissatisfied with the Zhao family's official Song. There's a lot to talk about. He bowed his head and replied, "I'm going to send someone to contact me now." ”

The Pu family responded to the situation, and Qi Ye of the Qi family also received a letter from Zhao Jiaren. In the letter, Zhao Jiaren asked Qi Ye to prepare for the purchase of more than 20 old ships at a low price since the winter break last year, and Zhao Jiaren was about to send someone to Quanzhou to pick up these ships. Qi Ye didn't know why Zhao Jiaren did this, the only thing he was sure of was that Zhao Jiaren would definitely make a big move.

Is this action a complete solution to the Pu family? But for the sake of cheapness, those two dozen ships can only be described as old. But thinking of the perfume shop that he was burned twice, Qi Ye was full of expectations for it. You must kill the Pu family!
