Chapter 48: On the Way to Lin'an
Holding a pamphlet with the contents of the grinding in his hand, Zhao Jiaren lay in the hammock and carefully read the part that mentions the prison. In his previous life, he didn't have the opportunity to be a prisoner, and Zhao Jiaren didn't care about this position. This time, the official family ordered Qin En, and Zhao Jiaren should naturally do his homework.
There are more than a dozen articles aimed at mentioning prisons, and the content related to this official name is 'according to the inspection and neglect to follow the officials of the inspection center, and the above crimes and improper inspection', which ranks eighth. Fujian Road Tidian Prison is theoretically the chief procurator of the Supreme Procuratorate of Fujian Road, and the assessment of the content of the duties related to the chief procurator is only ranked eighth.
The first place in the list is, 'whether the edict is violated'.
After that, the content is to persuade farmers and mulberries, revitalize and cure waste, repair water conservancy, recruit exiles, promote profits and eliminate harms, impeach lawlessness, raise incorruptible energy, disaster relief, and seal stake money......
Reading the content about mentioning the prison, Zhao Jiaren felt that Da Song's errand was too interesting. Hundreds of years of struggle and adjustment have made the system of the Great Song Dynasty more and more operational. Sincerely, Zhao Jiaren originally thought that the main job of mentioning the prison was to solve the case.
Putting down the manuscript, Zhao Jiaren lay in the hammock and looked at the deck above his head. Since Tidian Prison is now a civil affairs official, the construction of the lighthouse is within Zhao Jiaren's purview, and he can use his abilities to the fullest. The only thing that can restrain Zhao Jiaren is not the local officials, the prison and the power to supervise whether the officials have violated the law, and the local officials are afraid of Zhao Jiaren more.
There is only one thing that restricts Zhao Jiaren, and the state will not pay for Zhao Jiaren's ideals. To build water conservancy and lighthouses, special funds will be given unless the top has its own purpose. If Zhao Jiaren wants to do things by himself, he has to raise his own funds.
Turning over and sitting up, Zhao Jiaren looked at several fellow travelers in silk robes in the rickety hammocks side by side. It can be seen that these people have a high habit of shaking the hull, and they lie comfortably in the hammock as if they are sleeping but not sleeping. Several major incense shops in Fujian sent these people to Qingyuan Mansion to open incense shops, planning to sell the mosquito coils and incense powder made to Jiangnan West Road and Jiangnan East Road nearby. These people undertook the source of Zhao Jiaren's initial funds, but they were very valuable.
Seeing Zhao Jiaren sit up, those people hurriedly got up. The one in the middle was really asleep, and his companion woke him up.
Li Sichuan, who was the leader, first sang a honey sutra to Zhao Jiaren, "Zhao Guanren, your ship is really clean." Other boats all soiled my shoes, but when I arrived on Zhao Guanren's ship, it was my shoes that stained Zhao Guanren's boat. This wormwood scent is also smoked just right. And this hammock. When I go to sea in the future, I really can't take another boat! ”
Although it is a honey scripture, it cannot be made up blindly. After hearing this, several others also criticized the boat they had been on before. The bunks that made people roll around, the disgusting straw mats that were moldy on the floor, and the smell that permeated the inside of the boat. All of this is true, and what everyone says is true.
"Don't worry, I'm ready to set up a ship. Specialized in the delivery of goods and guests. All the ships in the ship line are in the shape of my ship, you can build a ship in the designated shipyard and join the ship. Zhao Jiaren spared no effort to hope that these people would join with funds.
As soon as he heard this, several representatives of the incense store laughed and refused. "Where do I have so much money to build a ship, we will definitely take Zhao Guanren's ship when we go out in the future, please rest assured that Zhao Guanren is here."
With the experience of previous failed persuasion, Zhao Jiaren was not in a hurry, and everyone's topic turned to the matter of cooperative incense making. "Do you think our incense can be sold to Champa and Vietnam?"
Listening to Zhao Jiaren's words, the representatives of the incense store frowned, and one of the representatives who had a lot of business with Guangdong said: "Most of the transactions between the Great Song Dynasty and Zhancheng were done by the Pu family, and we heard that the Pu family often blackmailed the ships that our Great Song Dynasty went to Zhancheng to do business. ”
This one probably told the news he heard, and the others saw that Zhao Jiaren was listening very seriously, and the other hurriedly forked, "It's just that I heard about it, I can't do it accurately, I can't do it accurately." We only control incense, and Zhao Guanren still has the final say on the matter of shipping. ”
Zhao Jiaren dealt with a few words absent-mindedly, and left the cabin on the grounds of taking a look at the upper deck. The Pu family's sailing in Fujian is quite regular, and there is nothing wrong with it. The news about the Pu family's attack on the Great Song Dynasty ships in the waters near Zhancheng made Zhao Jiaren feel very excited, and one of the duties of the prison was to arrest thieves, if this matter can be confirmed, the elimination of the Pu family will have legal legitimacy. Originally, Zhao Jiaren decided to use illegal means to solve the Pu family.
The north wind was bitter at sea, and under the blue sky, the icy water continued to splash onto the ship. The sailors on board were half-wet and very uncomfortable. Zhao Jiaren knew that feeling, and he endured the wind and rain on the ship with the sailors. The semi-wet clothes were blown by the north wind, and it was even more cold and biting. If the sailors are unable to deal with it effectively, it is easy for them to fall ill from the cold.
Looking at the neat rigging on the ship, the well-trained sailors, and the spinnaker on the second mast that was replaced with a hard sail surface, Zhao Jiaren was murderous. As long as there is a fleet, the crimes of the Pu family must be caught and the Pu family forces will be completely annihilated. Afraid of being seen by the sailors with his ruthless expression, Zhao Jiaren lay on the side of the ship with his face outward. It was a long time before he regained his mood and returned to the cabin. Continue to talk and laugh with the representatives of the incense shop. Since the representatives of the incense shop are unwilling to invest, the less they know, the better.
The ship arrived at the harbor of Qingyuan Province, and Zhao Jiaren disembarked and landed. As the port of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, Qingyuan Mansion has two ports. Huge seagoing vessels are berthed in seaside ports, while small river vessels are berthed in canal ports. Zhao Jiaren placed the representative of the incense store and went to his father Zhao Zhizhuo's house by himself.
Seeing that the third son finally appeared in front of him, Zhao Zhizhuo was furious, and he sneered: "Ha! Zhao Daguan, you are a good way to go! ”
Zhao Jiaren is still a county lieutenant from the eighth grade, even if he receives an errand to raise the prison, he is only an official under the seventh grade. He does not deserve to be called a big official, and he is completely incomparable with Dad, the Zhizhou of the fifth grade. Even if his father's attitude is so bad, Zhao Jiaren is not afraid at all. If his father wants to beat himself, Zhao Jiaren can deal with it in accordance with the filial piety of the Song Dynasty, that is, he will turn around and run.
"Daddy. Mentioning the prison is an errand given by the official family Qin En, if you don't want me to be this official, you can oppose it. Whatever you say to me, I won't dismiss myself. "Daddy Zhao Jiaren said it very clearly and clearly.
Seeing his son so insistent, Zhao Zhizhuo said angrily: "Which family do you trust?" Explain it to me! ”
"I don't know who can make the official family pay for it. Dad, you underestimate the official family too much, right? Zhao Jiaren immediately pushed back the words. Since he has made up his mind to break the kettle, he is not willing to deceive Zhao Zhizhuo.
Zhao Zhizhuo saw that the third son's strength not to hit the south wall and not look back, he was even more angry. It's just that he has been angry for a long time before, but he is not overly excited at this time. asked his subordinates to move a stool over, Zhao Zhizhuo asked his son to sit down first, and then suppressed his anger and said: "Since you want to do this errand, I only ask you one thing." Lin'an said that Ding Daquan likes you, but Dong Huai and Ding Daquan are like fire and water. If Ding Daquan resigns, you, as his henchman, will naturally be dismissed. And I will be implicated by you. Have you ever thought about this? ”
Seeing that his father was not angry and did not put on a show, Zhao Jiaren also calmly replied: "Dong Huai will undoubtedly quit." Dad, you have read the Di newspaper, two months ago, Dong Huaiyan said in the official family, the state has three evils. Qi Li does not follow the law, one thing. The law enforcement officials have been good at prestige for a long time than their officials, and they are two. The Imperial City Division is not an inspector, three. The general rate does not inspect the soldiers, so the soldiers are rampant, and the soldiers are rampant, and they are born in the middle of nowhere. Law enforcement is good at prestige, so the virtuous are confused, and the virtuous are confused, then the evil is unscrupulous, and the virtuous do not come out. Relatives do not raise the law, so the law is light, the law is light, so the court is humble. The three are gone, the government is abolished, and I wish to get rid of them from now on. According to Dong Huai, there are three evils in the court. After he became the prime minister, he had to get rid of these three evils by himself. I heard that Dong Huai is a resolute person, and if he does such a thing, he will do such a thing. Dad, do you think that if you offend most of the people in the court, can he still dismiss Ding Daquan? ”
Listening to his son's narration of the brutal political struggle in an elegant tone, Zhao Zhizhuo felt a chill run down his spine and rushed to his head. Purely logically speaking, Zhao Zhizhuo understood that what Zhao Jiaren said was right. But Dong Huai's official reputation has always been excellent, and he can deal with border troubles. Zhao Jiaren's judgment was based on the idea that the selfishness of the officials in the court completely overrode state affairs.
If Zhao Jiaren was an official in his thirties, it would be nothing to make such a judgment. A fifteen-year-old boy made such a judgment and was ready to take advantage of such a situation without hesitation to gain a higher status. Zhao Zhizhuo had a feeling like seeing a poisonous snake and a beast.
After settling down, Zhao Zhizhuo forcibly suppressed the feeling of unease. After all, he is facing his own son, not a poisonous snake and beast. Zhao Zhizhuo said: "Even if Dong Huai will be dismissed, Ding Daquan will also be dismissed." At that time, you won't be able to get rid of it. ”
Seeing that his father was still entangled, Zhao Jiaren figured out the joint, and he smiled: "Dad." The reason why you think so is because you think I am following the path of Ding Daquan. But I didn't follow Ding Daquan's path at all this time. You're right, Ding Daquan will definitely be dismissed. And the one who ascended to the phase after Ding Daquan is the person close to me. ”
The fifteen-year-old son faced the affairs of the court with such an attitude, and Zhao Zhizhuo's face became more and more serious. After a while, he stood up, pointed to the door and said to Zhao Jiaren, "Get out!" ”
No matter what his son's reaction was, Zhao Zhizhuo got up and brushed his sleeves away. He never wanted to see this monster-like third son again.
