Chapter 195: Rival Differences (12)
Song Gongming poked his head out of the warm quilt and pulled the quilt to cover his head. With his eyes closed, Song Gongming yawned heavily. After a while, the drowsiness began to recede, and Song Gongming's head began to work rapidly. The first feeling in my mind was, 'I can't go on like this, or I'm going to get up late.'"
His wife's quilt was already empty, rubbing his eyes and cheeks and walking to the living room, Song Gongming heard the sound of ingredients entering the oil pot from the wooden door of the kitchen. It should be my wife making breakfast. Sure enough, when he washed up, scrambled eggs, diced chicken, and other foods were put on the table.
The three children ate the fritters they bought in the cafeteria, ate the breakfast cooked by the old lady, and ran away with their schoolbags on their backs after eating. I didn't expect my dad to go to the countryside at all. Looking at the lively backs of these little things, Song Gongming was worried that they would not grow up like this.
"How long are you going?" Mrs. Song asked.
"A month. Rest assured, I'll be back in the middle. ”
Song Gongming often travels on business, and Mrs. Song is also used to it. She knew that this kind of business trip could go later, put down her chopsticks and said: "The sisters of the Women's Federation want to give a congratulatory gift to the official family through the saint to congratulate the official family on their 50th birthday. ”
Since the start of the war in Fuzhou, Qin Yuzhen was arranged by Zhao Jiaren to serve as the chairman of the military family support association. Now Qin Yuzhen is also the chairman of the Women's Federation. The husbands and sons of the women are fighting on the front line, and their hearts are naturally extremely uneasy. With such an organization as the Military Family Support Association, women have indeed found an organization. Everyone knows that Mrs. Zhao is leading the army in person, and when he sees Mrs. Zhao appear in front of everyone, there is no updated news, at least there is a self-awareness of 'I am not alone'.
The Military Family Support Association and the Women's Federation more or less helped women solve some practical problems, and when Mrs. Zhao became Empress Qin, the upper-class women would prefer to meet through this meeting. Help the husband to inquire about some news, ask if the husband has a woman outside, and help the child to inquire about the school.
"Can you give gifts to the official family through the saint?" Song Gongming's eyes lit up. Zhao Jiaren's promotion of materialism is still carried out from the heart, and it is not the kind of pretentious slogan. After many severe punishments and many orders, no one dared to be 'auspicious' on Zhao Jiaren's birthday. The method of the official family is very simple, the subordinates give gifts to the superiors, and if it is found out that it is a crime of dereliction of duty, it will be sent to the court for trial.
Everyone knows the attitude of Zhao Guan's family, so Song Gongming, a high-level member of the society, hopes to be able to give gifts directly to Zhao Jiaren. In addition to hoping to be favored by Zhao Jiaren, Song Gongming really wanted to express his heart
"We are only discussing, and the saints rarely accept our gifts. Not to mention the gifts that were handed over to the official family. ”
"Don't be afraid, just try." Song Gongming said.
"Why?"
"The official family is celebrating their fiftieth birthday this year, and the saint has both children and daughters, so I want to celebrate it. Even if you can't give a gift, it's not bad for everyone to write a greeting card together. ”
After eating, Song Gongming arrived at the agreed departure place, and there were already more than 300 people standing in the open space. The gang all carried canvas school bags and wore long-distance uniforms. The position and name are indicated on the plate on the chest. The Jiangning Mansion Branch of the Great Song Society helped the agricultural loan group XXX.
"Comrades, this time we want to provide local fathers and elders with assistance during the period of green and yellow, and what we have to do is a very meaningful thing. Our help can lift many people out of poverty and misery, and we can help them get out of debt. Please be humble and cautious, and show that you have a sense of responsibility for this society. We should face the problems realistically according to the actual situation of the people, instead of condescending to be the people's masters according to the rural areas we imagined......"
After a short drum, the team divided into several squads and set off in different directions. Last year, Song Gongming went to the west, and after talking with the prefect Lu Feizhi this year, he chose the west again. With last year's experience, the journey has been much smoother. Saying goodbye to the other teams at the entrance of the village, Song Gongming followed the team assigned here and went straight to the village chief's house. The village chief is a retired soldier, and everyone cooperated well last year.
Seeing Song Gongming coming, the village chief greeted him happily, "President Song." I hope for you as much as I hope for rain. You're here. ”
"How are the crops doing this year?" Song Gongming asked.
"President Song came from outside the village, he must have seen the crops growing, so that's it." When it came to the food in the village, the village chief couldn't help but shake his head. After a moment of sighing, the village chief raised his head and said directly: "President Song, everyone in the village is saying that we are so close to the farm, can we let the farm take our land." Seeing how well the farm crops were guarding the city, we were in a hurry. ”
"Seventy percent of the land in your village belongs to the landlord, right?" Before Song Gongming came, he looked at the data about this village.
"Almost. However, I have already discussed with the landlords in the village that as long as they are willing to sell their land to the government, we will live a good life together. ”
"They promised?" Song Gongming showed a surprised expression, he really didn't expect things to develop to such a point.
The village chief shook his head heavily, "No. The landlords said that the farm only accepts young guys. They sold the land, and if the government turned around, they would lose a lot. ”
"And then?" Song Gongming became more and more interested.
"I had several meetings with the villagers, and they wanted the government to hire us away. Older people can't go to the ground, they can also pick mulberry leaves and raise silkworms. Cook a meal for everyone, or watch over the orchard. ”
"You want the government to hire all of your village. You just have to finish what you've been given? ”
"Yes, yes, yes." The village chief felt that Song Gongming had grasped the key, and he chattered like a little bit of rice.
After chatting for a while, Song Gongming took his leave from the village chief. After coming out, the leader of the four young people assigned to the village couldn't help but say, "Song, president, I think the idea in the village is good. ”
"You ......" Song Gongming wanted to speak and stopped. After hesitating for a long time, he continued: "You stay in the village and take care of the errand assigned to you. Now that there is a shortage of money, there must be a lot of people who want to use the money. You have to be careful not to let people say they're using their money for farming, when they're doing something else. ”
After explaining this, Song Gongming stayed for one night, and then went straight to the next village the next day. The village chief still greeted Song Gongming like a timely rain, this village is far away from the big farm, and many villagers even remember Song Gongming, and they also came up to talk after seeing it.
In the next few days, Song Gongming walked farther and farther west, and more and more people greeted him in the village he visited. Anyone whose family member is on a large farm will not be able to survive on annual borrowing as he used to be. The farther away from the big farm, the fewer families have the opportunity to go to the farm. The fewer opportunities to go to the farm, the more families will live on loans.
When we arrived at the village close to the core area of the big landlord, the question of the local village chief had become, "President Song, we heard that there is a new farm in Jiangbei?" ”
"Yes, indeed." Song Gongming replied. The tax system of the imperial court put great pressure on the landlords who were not engaged in production, and the sale of land was not unique to Jiangning.
"I asked my comrades-in-arms on the farm, and they said that the farm in Jiangning is really not hiring. Can you arrange some people from the village to go to the farm in Jiangbei? ”
"You fought in Henan, what do you think of that place in Henan?"
"Don't mention this. Chairman Song, I know that the government wants to immigrate. If I was willing to leave home, how could I run back and become the village chief? Many of my comrades-in-arms exchanged letters, and they all became officials in Henan. Alas! ”
Song Gongming was also very helpless, he could only say: "Since everyone refuses to leave, this land can't suddenly become bigger." I can't help it. ”
"Now everybody wants to go to the farm and become a tenant. President Song, the people here are all thinking of your kindness, saying that you are giving everyone money and food at such a low interest, which is timely rain. If President Song can make us tenants of the government farm, you will be everyone's benefactor. ”
Song Gongming listened to what the village chief said, and he was also very emotional in his heart. It's just that he knows that the rules of the farm are set by the officials, and many officials want to send their poor relatives from afar to the farm, but the farm refuses to accept them. Song Gongming had already arranged the livelihood of his relatives through immigration, so he didn't want to be the rafters here. He explained: "This matter is up to the farm. I don't count. If I can help, it's to emigrate to the North. If the blind date in the village is willing to go to the north, it is the imperial court that gives everyone a way out. After arriving in the north, the court also helped him to settle down or something. ”
Although these words came from the heart, Song Gongming looked at the village chief's expression and knew that he was talking about chickens and ducks. In the end, Song Gongming told the village chief that he might as well tell the people in the village about this matter.
Continuing to the west is the core land of the landlord Qian family, and Song Gongming is ready to pass through the Qian family's territory and then go west. As soon as the seven of them were at the entrance of the village, they saw the red sun slowly rising from behind the trees on the hills. They all rode on donkeys, with their backs to the sun, and the shadows on the ground became more and more visible.
Seeing that he had reached the edge of the Qian family's territory, suddenly the bowstring sounded, and several arrows shot out. Song Gongming served as a soldier and sent an envoy to Mongolia. Over the years, he has not practiced martial arts diligently, and he still has a little bit of agility. Seeing the bow and arrow shoot crookedly, Song Gongming reached out and touched the stabbing sword on his waist.
The young man who traveled with him was the chosen guard, and everyone didn't expect that there were robbers blocking the road and robbing dozens of miles away from Jiangning City, although they were not shot by bows and arrows, they were all shocked. Some people were so frightened that they couldn't restrain the donkey, so they ran forward vigorously. Some of them hold on to the reins, but they don't know how to face the enemy.
Song Gongming saw that the team was a little disjointed, so he shouted, "Keep moving forward, don't let the bandits catch up." ”
Before the words were spoken, more than a dozen masked men jumped out of the roadside with weapons in hand. When Song Gongming saw this, he could only turn over and jump off the donkey. A masked man came over with a long stick, and Song Gongming had already pulled out his stabbing sword, first retracted his body, and then stabbed forward violently at the empty door in the chest.
The stabbing sword of the Song army has been tempered by the fire of war and has become more and more simple. The body of the sword is a steel triangular shape, and more than an inch at the tip of the sword is carefully polished to give it the appearance of a triangular streamlined body. The guy holding the long stick didn't expect Song Gongming to respond this time, and in the blink of an eye, he was stabbed more than an inch deep in the chest, and stopped in place like a stone statue.
Song Gongming's fierce arm withdrew his sword. I can still feel the resistance when I pierce it, especially when I hit the sternum. When you pull it back, it's very smooth. He didn't look at the man who had been struck by the arrow, and then pounced on the next robber. The man used a simple knife, which should be Song Jun's equipment from the appearance, but there were rust marks on the knife that had not been cleaned.
Seeing Song Gongming rushing up, the man first swept with a knife, trying to force Song Gongming back. I don't know if it's because of too much force, or if the head of the Pu knife is not buckled properly, and when the knife is swung down, the head of the knife leaves the knife bar and flies out. Song Gongming had already retreated with an arrow, and the guy who danced the knife was ready to drag the knife back and continue to attack Song Gongming.
Seeing the sudden change, both of them were taken aback. Song Gongming reacted first, and continued to step forward to stab that guy. There was only one wooden stick left in the man's hand, and he saw Song Gongming kill him. When you shout, you turn around and run.
At this time, another man with a bow and arrow stood in front of him, and he had already drawn his bow and arrow. Then the shots rang out, and the archer's chest was cut open, and he fell limply on his back. The robbers were stunned, and at this moment, another member of the group also drew his gun and fired another shot at the robber. Another robber was put to the ground.
Song Gongming saw that the robber's momentum had weakened, so he shouted, and stabbed the opposite robber in the thigh before rushing forward. The man screamed in pain and was about to run away, but he lost his strength after being injured in his leg, and dragged his injured leg to the ground.
Seeing that the robbers were easily defeated, Song Gongming's morale was greatly boosted. The robbers saw that they couldn't bear the situation, so they ran away when they shouted. Listening to the accent is Jiangbei dialect opposite Jiangning Mansion. Song Gongming looked at these inexperienced subordinates, and he didn't dare to chase them, so he could only watch them disappear into the distance.
The president of the Jiangning branch of the Great Song Society was robbed, and Lu Feizhi, the governor of Jiangning Prefecture, who learned of the situation, immediately sent someone to escort Song Gongming back to Jiangning, and at the same time increased the number of people who lent money to various places. As for the captured bandits, they were brought back for careful interrogation. There were many people who came to Song Gongming's house to express their condolences, and everyone looked very angry. If it was them who traveled this time, not everyone would be able to have the combat effectiveness of Song Gongming's team.
When the former Jiangning prefect Wen Zhang also appeared, the officials' expressions looked a little strange. Wenzhang's accounts have been checked, no problem. But in the last two years of Wenzhang's tenure as prefect, something went wrong with the Water Conservancy Bureau. Some people are complicit in embezzling money for the project of hiring people to dig the river.
This time, when checking Wenzhang, it was necessary for each unit to check the project payment signed by Wenzhang. The trick played over there was misappropriation, that is, after Wen Zhang's side signed the project, they entered the account late. Move the money away first and do something else. As a result, the money did not arrive immediately, and although there were some property here, some of the finances were not dizzy. They just do what they do.
Things got to such a point that the guys in the water bureau tried to fake it. The results not only failed to fool the test, but attracted the attention of the Audit Bureau. The desperate gang took the plunge and tried to set fire to the evidence. to stall for time. However, the water conservancy bureau naturally has its own facilities and systems, and when there is a fire, someone will go to put out the fire. The fire department here soon found out that it was arson. After the police intervened, the arsonist was arrested. By now, the situation has almost been figured out. A lot of things are just in the details.
Song Gongming was also very concerned about Wen Zhang, who was a member of the society, and specially invited Wen Zhang to the study to talk. After Wenzhang made these things clear, Song Gongming asked happily, "Then when will you return to Beijing?" ”
Wen Zhang replied with some interest: "Probably the day after tomorrow." ”
"You don't have to worry so much, the official family is so wise, he can naturally distinguish the joints here."
Wen Zhang smiled bitterly: "I'm not worried about the small night of the Water Conservancy Bureau, there are such people everywhere." I feel sorry for the official family, but I have criticized the official family for not being able to trust the minister, and actually pulling out the finances. Looking at it now, if it weren't for the financial independence, I would definitely not be able to clear the relationship. ”
"It's good to know that it's amazing." Song Gongming responded. Seeing that Wen Zhang was finally willing to bow his head, he was super happy in his heart. Civilian-born guys are extremely resistant to supervision, as if their morality would not be stained with a trace of dust. There are indeed super rich guys like Wen Tianxiang and Wen Zhang among the civil officials, and it is easy to clean themselves when they are rich. More of them are the small ones of the Water Conservancy Bureau, and when they see a lot of money in their hands, they can't help but want to get their hands on it from the inside.
"President Song, it's not good for me to see Governor Lu again, this time the Audit Bureau will probably not leave in the short term. All departments are afraid that they will be checked again. So many people have worked so hard with me, and in the end they ended up like this, I ...... I feel sorry for them. After saying that, Wen Zhang suddenly choked up.
Song Gongming also felt sad in his heart. Although the water conservancy bureau occupies a lot of money, the water conservancy bureau is not the only official in trouble. As far as Song Gongming knows, there are people with unclean hands in several departments. For example, the Department of Agriculture. At least the department in charge of recruiting people in the Department of Agriculture has all kinds of very nasty. Zhao Guanjia had a strict order for official farms that the per capita number of acres of cultivated land on the farm should not be lower than the bottom line of 30 mu per capita. Without this order, God knows what would have become.
"Governor Wen doesn't have to be too sad. This kind of thing, maybe we don't supervise enough. Song Gongming sighed.
sent Wen Zhang away, Song Gongming was very unhappy in his heart. It happened that people from the Public Security Bureau came to find Song Gongming to understand the situation, and after the talk, Song Gongming's mood became worse. He walked up and down in the study with a cigarette roll, smoking one cigarette after another, until he couldn't stand the smoke in the room. He simply walked out of the house and walked in the yard.
The arrested bandits confessed that they were from Jiangbei, and the bandit leader said that there was a good deal to do in Jiangning. The bandits felt that they were not worried about being discovered after crossing the river and robbing, so they crossed the river happily. The core backbone of the bandits are a few guys who used to be in the Song army, joined the Song traitor army, and fled back to the township when the official army was restored.
These thieves are armies! Song Gongming scolded in his heart. Logically speaking, the term is also appropriate for these people. According to the law, starting from 325 years of the Great Song Dynasty, within 50 years, if a thief is a thief with an army in public, or directly insult the army, the three words of thief and army will be punished with five days of shackles and a fine of 20 times. Although Song Gongming has no intention of insulting the current Song Jun, it is not good to say it publicly.
The public security department said that there was only a fear of someone behind it. It's just that the criminals haven't been caught yet, and it is impossible to judge which landlord instigated it. The names of the Duan family, the Lu family, the Li family, the Qian family and other big landlords flipped in Song Gongming's mind, and Song Gongming really couldn't think of anyone who was more suspicious. Thinking of the end, Song Gongming went to see Lu Feizhi, the current prefect of Jiangning. These things can only be discussed with Lu Feizhi before they can have a result.
Lu Feizhi greeted Song Gongming, and quietly listened to Song Gongming's statement. Only then did he say: "Please rest assured, as long as the bandits are caught, we will definitely give President Song an explanation." ”
Song Gongming said angrily: "Those who can cross the river to commit crimes must be habitual bandits, and when they see someone falling into the hands of the government, of course they dare not go home." It's not easy to catch them. ”
"And what does President Song want?"
"It's better to call the patriarch of the landlords to question. It's just the right time to kill their arrogance! ”
"I don't think it's right. At present, there are already some people in Jiangning City, and I feel cowardly when I play prestige to the landlord at this time. ”
"Huh?" Song Gongming felt that Lu Feizhi's statement was so strange, but there was a bit of an inexplicable truth in it. He settled down before he answered, "I want to hear about it." ”
"Is the current situation in Jiangning disrupted after the Censorship Bureau came, or was it originally chaotic and the Censorship Bureau lifted the lid?"
“…… It's a mess in the first place. ”
"Since it was already chaotic, shouldn't the current situation be to restore order, so that those law-abiding officials and ordinary people will not only not continue to be chaotic, but will gradually return to calm?"
“…… Is it difficult to let the landlord go because of this? ”
"I'm going to punish the bandits severely. Please rest assured that Chairman Song will be able to do this. But Chairman Song must be able to think clearly, if we arrest all the landlords for interrogation, it will be to add to the chaos. Therefore, I would like to ask Chairman Song to be considerate of the overall situation. ”
The words 'understanding the overall situation' made Song Gongming dissatisfied. He felt that the bandits might not necessarily not hurt everyone's lives after the robbery was successful, so he understood that the overall situation had a taste of ignoring the danger to Song Gongming's life. And on weekdays, these four words are actually used by Song Gongming to talk about others. At this time, feeling the anger when his interests were damaged, Song Gongming felt a sense of guilt in his heart for the people in the past.
"President Song. I do not recommend arresting the landlord for interrogation, not to make concessions to the landlord. I think these people are extremely panicked at this time, for fear that we will send someone to arrest them and interrogate them to extract confessions. After all, it was an attack in the countryside, and those who instructed and those who had ideas in their hearts were very uneasy. At this time, we sent people to their core areas to lend money and grain. We can't let these guys be happy. At this time, we sent people to their core areas to lend money and grain. We can't let these guys be happy. ”
