Chapter 24: The End After the Pu Family

Remember [Lewen] in a second. Alas, for you to read wonderfully.

When Zhao Jiaren returned to the yamen, it was not yet noon, and the people at the door saw that Zhizhou had finally appeared, and they all showed relieved expressions. Zhao Jiaren smiled at everyone: "Everyone, it's hard work. ”

"Zhizhou, you hurry in. Those officials will rush out. The officer in charge of the guard replied.

As soon as the door opened, I saw several officials rolling their arms and sleeves at the door to Zhao Jiaren's staff, led by Zhu Qi, the deputy commander of the Left Wing Army in Quanzhou. As soon as he saw the door open, Zhu Qi pushed Zhao Jiaren's staff away and wanted to rush out. Then I saw the tall Zhao Jiaren wearing a crimson official uniform and a silverfish bag, standing steadily in the center of the gate. Zhu Qi took two steps forward and came to Zhao Jiaren, and asked loudly: "Zhao Zhizhou, but you ordered us to be locked up in the yamen?" ”

Zhao Jiaren replied with a smile: "Deputy Commander Zhu, it is clearly written on my official document that I ask you to wait in the yamen for half a day. What does it mean to lock you inside? Don't talk nonsense. ”

"Your subordinates also said that there is an official document from Dali Temple?" Zhu Qi asked.

Zhao Jiaren waved his hand, and the entourage next to him took out the official document and unfolded it. Zhu Qi and other officials hurriedly came up to take a closer look, and the above conviction of the Pu family was clear, and it was indeed an official document of Dali Temple. Then the crowd was speechless. Collusion with the Mongols is a great crime, especially at this time when the Great Song Dynasty is at war with the Mongols. Although everyone looked at Zhao Jiaren with a lot of negative emotions in their eyes, they couldn't say anything more about this matter.

Let these people go back first, and Zhao Jiaren invited his future father-in-law to come. At this time, it is the best person to co-sign with Zhao Jiaren, and it is not a bad thing for Zhao Jiaren to let his father-in-law get some benefits. The two briefly discussed, and Qin Tidian went back to Fuzhou to prepare first. Whether Zhao Jiaren finds it or creates it, in short, he has to find some cases that are enough for the Pu family to be sentenced to death and send them to Lin'an. This time it was not just the killing of Pu Shougeng's father and son, but the entire Pu family was also devastated. It is simply a sentence of collusion with Mongolia and cannot be reasonably explained. After all, our Great Song Dynasty is a country with laws, and indiscriminate killing, even if it is indiscriminate killing of enemies, it will not be well received in the Great Song Dynasty.

Before Qin Tidian was about to leave, he was called by Mrs. Zhao to discuss the matter of marriage. At this time, Qi Ye came to ask for a meeting, the two sat down, and Qi Ye asked: "Zhao Zhizhou, you don't give up, please me several times." This time, I am willing to come out and play for Zhao Zhizhou. I don't know how Zhao Zhizhou is going to arrange it, but I have a good preparation in my heart. ”

"I said before that I am going to open a money bank and invite Brother Qi to be the shopkeeper." Finally invited an expert, and Zhao Jiaren was much more relaxed.

Qi Ye Zhengse said: "If that's the case, I have to talk to Zhao Zhizhou about it first." This Pu family has financial dealings with many people. Someone borrowed money from the Pu family, and the Pu family also borrowed money from others, and every year they made the delivery after the fleet arrived in Quanzhou. This time, Zhao Zhizhou wiped out the Pu family, and he failed to ask how much the Pu family lent to others, I think it was a little reckless. ”

"Why?" Zhao Jiaren didn't think about it so much, Qi Ye's reminder was very professional, which made Zhao Jiaren interested.

Qi Ye saw that Zhao Jiaren was a complete layman, and he smiled bitterly: "No one will take the initiative to say how much money they borrowed from the Pu family, and the Pu family is finished, and they just swallowed this money." The gang who lent money to the Pu family will probably come to the government to make trouble. ”

"I see." Zhao Jiaren also suddenly realized that his mind had never been on such things, and he really didn't think so much about the follow-up of the Pu family's affairs. Thinking about it carefully, Zhao Jiaren couldn't help but smile. In New China, many people completely ignored the repeated warnings of the state and invested money in all kinds of illegal fund-raising. When they took the money, no one thought of paying more taxes to the state, and when the illegal fund-raising was poured out, these people suddenly remembered the government and ran to block the government's door. Zhao Jiaren does not think that the government is perfect, but he is more supportive of the government at such times.

Qi Ye continued: "From now on, ask Zhao Zhizhou's subordinates to find the Pu family's account books, rosters, and various correspondence. If Zhao Zhizhou doesn't dislike it, I'll inspect these objects. Let's make up what we can first. ”

"All the money banks have lent money to the Pu family, will they know about the Pu family's money exchanges?" Zhao Jiaren asked.

Qi Ye smiled bitterly: "Qian Zhuang is even more troublesome, Zhao Zhizhou, you have made such a big matter, if you want to completely settle it, it is definitely not a day or two." I think it would be nice to calm down in half a year. ”

After sending Qi Ye away, Zhao Jiaren wrote a letter to Xu Yuanzhi, the current governor of Guangzhou. After Zuo Prime Minister Wu Qian came to power, he attacked Ding Daquan's henchmen, Xu Yuanzhi was not Ding Daquan's henchmen, but he was also the governor of Fuzhou recommended by Ding Daquan. Guangnan East-West Road is considered to be a miasma in the south, so Xu Yuanzhi was arranged far away there. Zhao Jiaren felt that this arrangement was simply a gift from God, and he did not care about Xu Yuanzhi's mood at all, Zhao Jiaren was indeed very, very happy.

The iron of the Great Song Dynasty was government-run, and now Zhao Jiaren's industry has more and more demand for iron, and the income from buying iron ingots has made him feel that he should have his own iron-smelting center. Foshan is an iron-smelting center of the Great Song Dynasty, and Foshan is not far from Guangzhou.

However, of course, Zhao Jiaren would not write so clearly directly, he informed Xu Yuanzhi in the letter that the Pu family had been eradicated, and now a lighthouse system from Quanzhou to Guangdong could be built. With lighthouse protection, the shipwreck rate can be reduced by at least 20%. The ships on the Fujian Road who eat at sea have become accustomed to the lighthouse system, and they are willing to pay for it. If you can go straight to Guangdong along the lighthouse, no one will refuse.

It was close to evening when the matter was dealt with, and Zhao Jiaren returned to the place where he had a fake wedding and ordered a meal to be prepared. It didn't take long for the squad leader and the brigade and squadron leaders to arrive. Everyone is so busy that they are hungry. Before the Great Song Dynasty, China had a separate meal system, and with the popularization of high tables and chairs, everyone was finally able to sit at the same table and eat happily.

There were seven or eight tables inside, and outside it was a place for two thousand people to eat. The people who were guarding the various places could not come, so they prepared food for them and sent them to eat.

Li Hongjun brought his subordinates to carry a lot of heavy boxes in, the inside was isolated from the outside, and he was not afraid of revealing his wealth, and when he opened it, he saw that it was full of gold, silver and jewelry, and the inside of the room looked much brighter. Zhao Jiaren didn't have any special expression on his face, but he thought very maliciously in his heart, how much did these people fill their own pockets? But you can't say that kind of thing anyway.

Waiting for Li Hongjun to finish reporting, Zhao Jiaren praised: "Good job!" So he had the list of his belongings and his belongings put in the back storehouse, where they were temporarily stored.

Li Hongjun sat down, and Liu Meng also ordered someone to bring in his seizure. shows that after the delivery is completed, Zhao Jiaren also simply said 'well done', and continued to the next one.

The accumulation of the Pu family over the past few decades is indeed powerful, there are a lot of gold, silver and copper coins, and there are a lot of things like spice rhino horn gemstones. After offering these things, Zhao Jiaren stood up with the wine cup, "Everyone has worked hard." If you feel troublesome again, I will only say two things, those paperwork and ledgers of the Pu family must not be destroyed, our fleet will go to the South China Sea to make money in the future, with the accumulated experience of the Pu family, we can have a lot less hard work. The second thing is that the sailors should not be killed now, but must be forced to tell them about their seafaring experience. I won't talk about the benefits of this. So, thank you all for your hard work today! ”

"!" They lifted up the cups and drank all the wine in them. In order to eradicate the Pu family, everyone spent a lot of mental and physical strength, and at this time, they were naturally happy. What's even happier is that everyone has made a win in this operation. Soldiers can get three times their salary, and those who are cadres get at least thirty times. Many people have even begun to consider whether to simply go home and buy land.

After eating and drinking, the shift was arranged, and everyone went to rest. Zhao Jiaren would also sleep in the mansion until he heard the old lady's call, "San Lang, San Lang!" Don't sleep! ”

Sleepy-eyed opened his eyes slightly, and Zhao Jiaren was forced to close his eyes again by the bright light in the room. Squinting his eyes and sitting up, Zhao Jiaren found that it was actually three poles outside! Stretching hard, Zhao Jiaren felt that there were many very uncomfortable places in his body. As a doctor, Zhao Jiaren determined that this was the result of long-term overuse of the body. As a doctor, Zhao Jiaren also felt that sufficient high-quality sleep allowed his body's physical strength to be quite restored.

This is the effect of untying the knots in the heart? Zhao Jiaren thought in surprise. After these two lives, as long as there is a faint light in the sky, Zhao Jiaren will wake up. A big lazy nap is too distant a memory for Zhao Jiaren.

"Saburo, you're telling the truth. Are you going to fight and kill next month? Mrs. Zhao's face was very serious.

"Mother, I want to deal with the aftermath at this time, and I just beg others not to knock on the door." Zhao Jiaren got up and said.

Mrs. Zhao stared at Zhao Jiaren for a while before retracting her distrustful gaze, "I told Qin Ti that there will be no auspicious days next month." The twenty-third of this month is suitable for marriage. Just the twenty-third of this month. Don't give me anything else! ”

"Okay." Zhao Jiaren found that he didn't feel anything about getting married. Maybe it was yesterday's experience that stimulated his mind too much, or maybe it was a deep sleep that made his mental system begin to calm down.

I still feel energetic in bed, but when it was time to get off the boat, Zhao Jiaren felt that his legs were the same as noodles, and he felt his strength after resting for a long time. Zhao Jiaren pretended to be idle and stood up, sent his mother first, he took the cane and sword, and walked a few steps by himself.

When the great wish is not fulfilled, the whole person is full of energy, and even the fatal disease seems to be overcome. After the wish is fulfilled, the whole person will be decadent in an instant, and even become like two people. Zhao Jiaren now realizes that this may be true. Before, there seemed to be something driving Zhao Jiaren to move forward, but at this time, this feeling of spurring was no longer there, Zhao Jiaren only felt that his feelings about anything were empty.

After almost moving for a while, Zhao Jiaren was finally able to put down his cane and paced around the room with his own strength. What's next? Zhao Jiaren had no goal in his heart for a while. Defeat the Mongols? If a Quanzhou governor wants to defeat the Mongols, it is completely the choice of a madman. Sailing the South China Sea? This requires long-term action. Take care of your body? Zhao Jiaren felt that although this was necessary, it was not an overnight effort.

Suddenly, he had a flash of thought and remembered the most important thing. He had to take a good inventory of how much money he had.
