The first year of Jiading, the first day of June. It has been three days since the disturbance in Jinjiang County.

When there was a disturbance in Jinjiang, Zhu Qi, the deputy commander of the Left Wing Army in Quanzhou, became nervous, and whether he would receive an order to suppress the mob decided Zhu Qi's future. The Quanzhou Zhizhou controlled the Left Wing Army of the 2,000 Dianqian Division in Quanzhou, and the current Quanzhou Zhizhou was Zhao Jiaren, who had experienced the war, and the left wing army felt that Zhao Jiaren, a 'leading minister' who had experience in war, would probably not give up.

While the Left Wing Army was waiting, Pu Shougeng invited Zhu Qi to drink. At the banquet, not only Pu Shougeng came, but also several local merchants who ate big food. First, there was a round of toasting, Pu Shougeng gave Zhu Qi the dishes on the plate, and he mentioned the matter seemingly blandly, "I don't know if Zhao Zhizhou ordered to go to Jinjiang?" ”

Zhu Qi sighed, "Not yet." ”

Pu Shougeng smiled: "I heard that Zhao Zhizhou has given a small coupon. Doubling the amount of money given every month. ”

Zhu Qi took a sip of the wine glass, and simply remained silent. He originally thought that Zhao Jiaren was just a twenty-year-old doll, but he didn't expect that this doll's means of doing things were not comparable to ordinary twenty-year-olds. The small coupon was not issued to Zhu Qi at all, but directly ordered the left-wing army that had already assembled for the drill to line up, and Zhao Jiaren wanted to go to the roster, one by one, according to the roster method.

Zhao Jiaren sent his staff to pass the word, and that person is said to be the Chen family of Zhao Jiaren's mother's family, "Today is chaotic, there are Japanese pirates and pirates on the sea, and the chaotic people and the people on the road are not at peace. Now it's time for you to kill the enemy and make a contribution. Zhao Zhizhou gave you small coupons, asking you to practice diligently. When it comes time to go into battle to kill the enemy, he will not hesitate to reward. ”

It's better to give money than to say anything. A small coupon is a kind of beautifully printed bill, which is divided into two types: money and rice. There is a clear name and number on it, and the money can be received at the Jianxian Money Village, and the rice can be received at the rice line opened by Rentong Express. Both sides don't need to go through Deputy Commander Zhu Qi, so Deputy Commander Zhu Qi has no way to deduct from it. The actions of the commander of the Left Wing Army in Quanzhou Zhizhou should be the most ruthless. Zhu Qi didn't think of how to make a profit from this for a while, and as a means of retaliation, he ordered the time to send money and rice this month to be postponed.

Of course, Pu Shougeng knew about this, and he also knew very well that he was not suitable to participate in this matter, and after mentioning this matter that made Zhu Qi unhappy, Pu Shougeng continued: "Commander Zhu, I heard that the people on the other side of Jinjiang just ate some beef, and they were put in the shackles of the government. It is true that the imperial court is not allowed to kill cattle indiscriminately, but eating some beef is not a capital crime. It's a flail over there for several days, and it's clear that you don't want everyone to live. ”

"Hmm!" Hearing someone criticize Zhao Jiaren, Zhu Qi nodded in agreement.

"If the Left Wing Army is ordered to go to Jinjiang, I don't know if Commander Zhu can open up the net and scold the people. If we arrest people again, I am afraid that it will arouse public resentment even more. Pu Shougeng put forward his own requirements.

Zhu Qi did not echo this time, he said: "The imperial court has always ordered that cattle should not be slaughtered, and the people did not obey the ban. This is a violation of law and discipline. ”

First poured wine for Deputy Commander Zhu Qi, and the two toasted and drank. Pu Shou Gengcai continued to tell the story in a gentle tone, "Those people believe in the true God. The true God teaches that if you don't eat big meat, then you can only eat beef and mutton. True God believers eat beef and mutton, and they must first be consecrated by the priests. This is not a violation of law and discipline, but a belief in religion. This is the teaching of the gods. My Great Song Dynasty has never forbidden people to believe in religion. The reason why the people rose up to make trouble was because the magistrate was arrogant and domineering. If he really loves the people, he should open his eyes. used the ban of the court as the reason to tyrannize the people, which went against the rules of the court. This Chen Zhixian is still Zhao Zhizhou's cousin, and this person knows that he has borrowed Zhao Zhizhou's prestige. ”

After hearing this, Zhu Qi felt reasonable, believers eating beef were just following the teachings of the gods, not being enemies of the Great Song Dynasty. There's nothing wrong with just one eye open. Deputy Commander Zhu has also eaten beef, and he likes the taste of beef. Moreover, that Chen Zhixian was actually Zhao Jiaren's cousin, and Deputy Commander Zhu Qi felt that the people were even more pitiful. When the wine came up, Deputy Commander Zhu Qi replied happily: "I know, if Zhao Zhizhou orders the left wing army to go to Jinjiang, I will definitely treat the people well." ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Qi smiled, "Hehe." But it's hard for my men to get out of the camp......"

Pu Shougeng didn't say anything after hearing this, and directly took out a stack of banknotes. After Zhu Qi took it, he counted it a little, and it was three hundred yuan. Although the amount is not large, it is an income. Holding the money tightly in his hand, Zhu Qi sighed: "Alas......, this money is still not enough to distribute to the brothers. If that's all I have, I can't take it. ”

"This is hard-earned money for Deputy Commander Zhu. When you brothers go to Jinjiang, I will wait for the believers in the true God to send their own camp money. Pu Shougeng said to Zhu Qi. After finishing speaking, he glared at the group of big food merchants.

The big food merchants followed one after another and said: "We are also true gods of faith, of course we will not let Zhu lead a trip in vain." ”

With the assurance of these people, and because he received the money from the Pu family first, Zhu Qi nodded with satisfaction, "Everyone, I am not a person who is easy to kill, I am all the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and some things have to be forgiving and forgiving." You say no. ”

"That's right!" A group of businessmen in green and black have expressed their recognition of Deputy Commander Zhu Qi.

Seeing that the matter was almost said, Pu Shougeng clapped his hands, the servants spread a blanket on the open space in front of the table, and the sound of the Huqin, pipa, and Qiang flute sounded. A few dancers with their faces covered and their navels bared ran out along the blankets to the sound of music and danced in front of the table. Their bodies are soft and their dancing postures are seductive. Deputy Commander Zhu Qi, who had drunk a little, looked at it with a light in his eyes.

Deputy Commander Zhu Qi accepted a banquet from a group of big food merchants, and Zhao Jiaren, the governor of Quanzhou, was also banqueting his father-in-law, Qin Huchen, a prisoner in Fujian Road, for dinner.

Qin Huchen arrived in Quanzhou on May 30, and the two sat down at the banquet, and Qin Tidian said: "San Lang, there are many things at this time, can you push back the day of marriage?" ”

After saying this, Qin Huchen stared at Zhao Jiaren's expression. Marriage is a big deal, and the day of the marriage requires a very serious reason. In the Great Song Dynasty, unless the official family or the queen mother died, the official prohibition of marrying for three days on the day of the funeral. Otherwise, even if there is white joy, it cannot stop the red joy.

Zhao Jiaren smiled indifferently after hearing this, "Taishan." The date of marriage can be postponed. ”

Seeing that Zhao Jiaren was so considerate, Qin Huchen was greatly relieved, he had already received an official letter from Dali Temple, which mentioned the charge of 'colluding with Mongolia' by the Pu family. With Zhao Jiaren's attitude towards the Pu family, Qin Huchen felt that something would definitely happen. He didn't want to marry off his precious daughter before this unknown upheaval. The magistrate fights with the local snake, and the dragon crossing the river may not all win.

"But I'd like to ask Tarzan to do me a favor. Can you stay in Quanzhou for a few more days? I want some people in Quanzhou to think that I still get married on the same time. Zhao Jiaren made a request.

"Why?" Qin Huchen was quite surprised.

Zhao Jiaren explained with a smile: "Those people think that I will never act rashly on the day I get married. I was going to surprise them. It just so happened that Taishan was going to postpone the day of marriage, so I had better do it. ”

Qin Huchen has seen many officials, and he can also tell whether the officials are sincere or not. Seeing Zhao Jiaren's sincere expression at this time, he was already roughly sure that Zhao Jiaren was not joking. Thinking that his future son-in-law could have such a mind and calculation, Qin Huchen suddenly regretted it, and he felt that his prudence might be wrong.
