April 29, 6th year of Baoyou. Jia Rudao connected to the four letters.

The first letter could only be barely regarded as a certain extent, and the official family issued an order to reward Jia Nidao, who had captured more than 200 captives. In the concept of the Great Song Dynasty, if there is no wise guidance from the civilian commander, where will there be a big victory.

The second letter is also a document, in which Xia Gui and Mao Xing, the generals of the Song army guarding Haizhou and Lianshui Army, informed Jia Rudao that the Mongol soldiers under Li Pu, the governor of Yidu (Shandong), had retreated. Haizhou and Lianshui Army were preserved.

Straightening his beard and listening to the tidal words of the officials and staff of the Yamen who appeased the two Huai, Jia Rudao was quite happy in his heart. At this time, Jia Yidao's personal staff sent two letters. Seeing that it was written by Zhao Jiaren and Zhao Jiaren's father Zhao Zhizhuo, Jia Rudao put the letter into his arms.

defended Haizhou and Lianshui Army, and was appreciated by the officials. Jia seems to have a big feast, and the sycophants are flying in the staggered manner. A group of people relieved the pressure in their hearts, and they ate and drank very happily. After the banquet was over, Jia Rudao returned to the mansion and sat in the flower hall. He ordered someone to make tea, and took out the letter from Zhao Jiaren and Zhao Zhizhuo himself.

Zhao Zhizhuo's letter was very polite, first saying that Zhao Jiaren was young and ignorant, and he only wanted to be happy after winning a big victory. I didn't expect the system at all, and I didn't expect all kinds of support from Jia Yidao to Zhao Jiaren. As a negligent father, Zhao Zhizhuo solemnly apologized to Jia Yidao, and assured that after Zhao Zhizhuo's stick education, Zhao Jiaren knew the mistake. I look forward to Jia Yidao, for the sake of the long-term personal relationship between the two families, and stop worrying about children.

After reading this letter, Jia Rudao read Zhao Jiaren's letter again. Drinking tea, Jia Rudao laughed at Zhao Zhizhuo in his heart for not having enough Wencai. The handwriting of the two letters is different, but the style of writing is exactly the same......

It's just that killing people is not too much, since Zhao Zhizhuo and Zhao Jiaren's father and son wrote a letter of apology, Jia Yidao felt that they should be forgiven magnanimously. When the wine came up, Jia Rudao went to sleep. It wasn't until a few days later, reminded by the staff who had been remembering the incident, that Jia Rudao remembered that he should reply to Zhao Zhizhuo. If he didn't reply to the letter, maybe Zhao Zhizhuo would be uneasy in his heart.

However, Jia seemed to be wrong, and Zhao Zhizhuo was not uneasy. He was holding his grandson at this time, his face full of joy. Now the three sons are in front of him, the second child is immersed in hard study, and the eldest and third are busy with business affairs together. Knowing that the recently famous Zhao Jiazaburo actually arrived in Qingyuan Mansion, local officials also came to celebrate. Now the eldest grandson is in his arms again, and his life is beautiful. Zhao Zhizhuo even felt that he should take his wife to Qingyuan Mansion, he was fifty years old, and his wife was also forty and two, so he should also have a good reunion.

As for Jia Yidao's thoughts, Zhao Zhizhuo didn't bother to think about it again. Everyone is a civil servant, and they are all from Jinshi. No matter how powerful Jia seems to be, the government and the opposition can't do too much. It's a big deal not to be an official, Zhao Zhizhuo is not willing to embarrass himself anymore. In this family fun, Zhao Zhizhuo ate with his family and teased his eldest grandson. The mood is very, very good.

A few days after writing to Jia Rudao, he sent a letter to Qingyuan Mansion at his in-laws in Lin'an, and because of Zhao Jiaren's merits, the official family authorized Zhao Jiaren to transfer a case. The civil officials of the Southern Song Dynasty had a complex grade system of dozens of levels, and under normal circumstances, they were polished once every three years, and they were promoted to three grades if they passed the normal grinding. The special transfer is to be promoted to the sixth rank after making great contributions. Seeing that the official family favored his son so much, Zhao Zhizhuo was even more relieved.

After watching the harvest of 600 acres of chrysanthemums with his third brother, Zhao Jiaren was more concerned. He still asked, "Third brother." Doesn't Jia Yidao really hold a grudge against you? ”

"Jia Yidao holds a grudge against those who stand in his way. At best, I don't satisfy him, but I can't talk about holding grudges. Zhao Jiaren said with a smile. The previous events made Zhao Jiaren see that he had a wrong judgment of the Southern Song Dynasty army. After getting this result, Zhao Jiaren didn't have any worries about Jia Yidao. The Southern Song Dynasty was under tremendous pressure from the north, and Jia Yidao wanted to do whatever he wanted to Zhao Jiaren, provided that Jia Yidao had the ability to easily deal with the Mongols in the north. Obviously, relying on the current generals of the Southern Song Dynasty, they could not effectively deal with the Mongols at all.

"You've always been like that." Zhao Jiaxin sighed. He has already determined that he is inferior to his third brother Zhao Jiaren in terms of officials, and he can't see through things that Zhao Jiaren can easily see. Even so, Zhao Jiaxin couldn't help but worry.

Shaking his head, Zhao Jiaxin changed the subject, "This year's money has been received, when will you ship it away?" ”

Zhao Jiaren was very moved in his heart. The eldest brother of another family probably would not give the money to his younger brother so naturally, but his eldest brother Zhao Jiaxin did not hesitate. Zhao Jiaren smiled: "Big brother, wait a few more days." If I go south now, I will probably be detached from my post without permission. I'm leaving, and I'll wait for the Mongols to withdraw their troops from Haizhou. ”

When he heard that it was related to military affairs, Zhao Jiaxin sighed: "Alas! When will the world not be at war? ”

Zhao Jiaren could only smile bitterly this time. As a person of New China, the reaction to the alien invasion was naturally to rise up and fight to the end. However, the attitude of the literati class in the Southern Song Dynasty can be summed up in the song often sung by the head card of the painting boat, 'Since Hu Ma peeped into the river, the pond and trees have been wasted, and they are still tired of talking about soldiers'.

Although the country is big, it will be dangerous to forget the war, and the warlike will die. Zhao Jiaren admitted this truth, but he was very helpless about this war-weariness. However, it is the technician who is tired of the war, and Zhao Jiaren can't say anything critical no matter what. He said to his eldest brother seriously, "With me, I will not let Jiangnan be ravaged by foreign races." Big brother, you can do what you want with confidence. ”

Seeing that his younger brother was so serious, Zhao Jiaren thought for a while before saying, "So...... Very good! ”

After the news of the retreat of the Mongol soldiers under the command of Li Pu, the governor of Yidu (Shandong), was confirmed by the Lin'an court, Xia Gui and Mao Xing, who guarded Haizhou and the Lianshui army, were rewarded. Xia Guijin was a second-class official, and he was also an envoy to Henan. Mao Xingte turned to the right martial arts doctor. Zhao Jiaren was very disgusted by such a bold reward. But after all, he is only a person seconded by Jia Yidao, and the court reward is not at all the turn of a Fujian Road to intervene.

Zhao Jiaren went to Yangzhou to see Jia Rudao and say goodbye. At this time, the two Huai pacification ambassador Jia Nidao's mansion was full of joy, although he was not immediately promoted, Yangzhou and the people in the pacification ambassador's mansion were sure that as long as they could resist the Mongol attack this time, Jia Nidao would definitely enter Beijing to pay respects.

Zhao Jiaren saw Jia Rudao walking in in the flower hall with a red face and high spirits, and he got up and saluted. I couldn't help but feel a little unhappy in my heart, Jia Yidao used to pay attention to pomp, but the pomp was not so big. To Zhao Jiaren's surprise, after Jia Yidao entered the Huating, he retreated and asked bluntly: "What does Jiaren think the Mongolian lord will do next?" ”

Jia Yidao asked, and Zhao Jiaren replied, "The Mongolian lord sent troops from the desert and approached Sichuan, so the main force is in Sichuan." Haizhou and the Lianshui Army just wanted to contain the Great Song Dynasty. If there is still a partial division, it will probably go south from Henan and enter Hubei. ”

Neither Sichuan nor Hubei is under the control of Jia Nidao, so he naturally gives priority to the enemies faced by the two Huai. Jia Rudao pondered for a moment, and asked suspiciously: "After Li Pu is defeated, will he make a comeback?" ”

"Yes!" Zhao Jiaren replied very simply. From his point of view, Li Pu could not talk about defeat at all. It's just a slight setback. But this can't be said to Jia Yidao under any circumstances, otherwise the boat of friendship will capsize. Zhao Jiaren continued to talk about his strategic thinking, "We see the desert as a wild land, and for the Mongol lords, Shandong is a remote place. It is impossible for the Mongol lord to give a direct order to Shandong, which is thousands of miles away, at most he tells Shandong to send troops to cooperate with the Mongol lord. Do you want to fight or not, and to what extent. It's all Li Pu's decision. ”

Jia Rudao nodded slightly, the truth is clear and easy to understand. After thinking for a while, Jia Rudao said to Zhao Jiaren: "This time, please ask Jiaren to help, there are a lot of rewards or something." It adds up to a total of 60,000 pieces. I thought Jiaren was probably in dire need of money, so I gave you 30,000 copper coins and 20,000 pieces of silk. You see how. ”

"That's great!" Zhao Jiaren replied decisively. In the eyes of others, they may feel that Jia Rudao swallowed something worth 10,000 yuan. In Zhao Jiaren's opinion, he got 50,000 pieces of stuff in a very short time. You can use these 50,000 to continue to promote your own things. For Zhao Jiaren, time is money, and time is even more precious than money.

Jia Yidao was quite surprised by this answer, he felt that Zhao Jiaren would probably ask for a reward of all 60,000 yuan. Sure enough, Zhao Jiaren then spoke, "In addition, Jia Gong." I still have something to ask for. ”

Jia Rudao felt that Zhao Jiaren wanted to get more benefits, so he said magnanimously: "What's the matter? ”

"The Fujian Road Lighthouse has been repaired to the border between Fujian Road and Jiangnan East Road. I'm just a prisoner on Fujian Road, and I can't mobilize the officials of Jiangnan East Road under any circumstances. Therefore, I would like to ask the official family to issue an order to build a lighthouse on Jiangnan East Road. I hope that Jia Gong will jointly report this matter. If this can be done, it will be a good thing for the Great Song Dynasty. ”

Listening to Zhao Jiaren's request, Jia Rudao looked at Zhao Jiaren with puzzled eyes. Zhao Jiaren was ambitious, and he was naturally eager to make meritorious contributions in order to climb up. But choosing such a thankless thing to do is too strange to look at. I didn't understand, Jia Rudao asked directly: "What does Jiaren mean by this?" ”

"If this matter continues to drag on, it will never come to an end. It's better to settle it all at once. And I think I will fight under Jia Gong in the future. With the lighthouse, I'll come faster. Zhao Jiaren gave an explanation.

Although this reason still looks a little weird, Jia seems to be able to understand. Since Zhao Jiaren decided to lay down his official career with real credit, Jia Yidao didn't want to stop him. He ordered: "Jiaren will write a watch now." I happen to be seconded above. ”

The two stamps were sent out together. Zhao Jiaren did not leave, but stayed in Yangzhou. It will also take time for his fleet to come back. After staying in Yangzhou for ten days, Zhao Jiaren's fleet arrived.

At this time, the most popular person in Yangzhou City is naturally to appease Jia Nidao, and the focus of Yangzhou City is also Jia Nidao. Countless people are trying to get close to Jia Nidao and catch the line of this appeasement envoy who is about to soar. Zhao Jiaren was not ostentatious when he set off, so no one came to send him. Zhao Jiaren didn't care about this, his fleet was full of rewards, with these things, and the 100,000 yuan given by his eldest brother Zhao Jiaxin, he could finally survive before the end of the year. If the profit of pyrethrum in Fuqing County is also counted, it is probably possible to last until March and April next year.

Feeling the wind on the river that is completely different from that on the sea, Zhao Jiaren is in a good mood. Once the lighthouse can be built to the mouth of the Yangtze River, the wings of his ambition can be considered to be formed. At that time, he can ride the wind and really soar into the sky.
