It took Zhao Qian three days to complete the road from Kaifeng to Luoyang. Three days of galloping almost exhausted the horse's physical strength. After entering the city, the energetic horses before setting off obediently followed behind Zhao Qian and slowly walked forward with small steps.

The winter journey of 600 miles in three days was also a difficult test for Zhao Qian, and he also felt exhausted at this time. Although he regretted not choosing to take a boat to Luoyang, Zhao Qian left such a thought behind.

Daddy Zhao Jiaren once said, 'Do it or don't do it.'" Don't try. The old lady thinks that this attitude is a very 'noble' quality, and opposes the choice to change course when she feels uncomfortable. And Zhao Qian's own consciousness is that he will quickly forget what he has done. As long as you can't forget it, what you will leave behind will inevitably be all kinds of painful and unhappy memories.

led the horse straight to the destination, where the Luoyang Political and Legal Committee was. When he arrived at the door, Zhao Qian sent a letter of introduction. It didn't take long for several officials to appear at the door. Zhao Qian glanced at them, four of the five people had the logo of a retired soldier on their uniform badges, and Zhao Qian's uniform also had the same logo.

The Great Song Dynasty is the fire virtue, and the red color is the national color of the Great Song Dynasty. Yellow is the noble Chinese color. Zhao Jiaren himself was inevitably influenced by the art of virtue sticks, and designed a clear 'VI mark system' when the Great Song Dynasty New Deal was established. Emblems such as the five-pointed star, gear, ears of rice, rifles with bayonets, hammers, sickles, etc., represent the characteristics of different types of occupations.

The two crossed rifles represent retired soldiers. If it is a regular army, it is another army system made of pentagrams, pines and cypresses, and horizontal lines.

Seeing Zhao Qian with the secretary and guard Yuan outside the door, the people of the Political and Legal Committee hurried out. When he came up, he shook hands with Zhao Qian, and he didn't say hello, and directly invited Zhao Qian and others into the compound. Everyone sat down, and the chairman of the political and legal committee said: "Team Leader Zhao, you have worked hard all the way, and we will take you to your residence in a while." ”

"Thank you." Zhao Qian responded. He only felt exhausted now and just wanted to get a good night's sleep after a bath.

However, the members of the Political and Legal Committee did not have this plan, and the vice president smiled: "Let's go have a meal first." ”

Although Zhao Qian was hungry at this time, he had little appetite. His biggest feeling was fatigue, and with the experience of the army, he came to write about the staple food based on vegetarian food, with some thick porridge, which is easy to digest. It's really a big fish and a big meat, and the current body doesn't have the ability to digest it.

Without waiting for Zhao Qian to speak, the vice president continued: "It's all vegetarian, and there are some beef. I don't know if it's in line with Team Leader Zhao's appetite. ”

"That's good." Zhao Qian replied satisfactorily. After having experience in the army, Zhao Jiaren's requirements for food were greatly shaped by the brutal war. It can replenish nutrition, can quench hunger, and can be eaten and quickly put into battle or ready to fight, this is a good meal. As for the delicacies that you can't forget after eating, they are even harmful to soldiers who need to devote their attention to the battle at any time.

'After this battle, you can go back to your hometown to get married' and 'The child is about to be born', Zhao Qian has seen several people say this before the battle, and they have not survived the next comrades. When I was studying management, these cases were used as proof that if you don't pay attention, you will die. Food, wine, and color can all be distracting. On the contrary, the best way to ensure combat effectiveness is to watch boring and various targeted training.

Under such education, Zhao Qian asked, "When can you show us the file?" ”

The faces of several members of the Political and Legal Committee changed slightly, and after a moment's hesitation, the chairman replied: "Team Leader Zhao, there are many criminals who have not yet finished their trials, and they are all in the hands of the Taxation Bureau. This dossier is not complete. ”

Zhao Qian replied, "Don't be afraid." Show me whatever you have. Don't worry about the tax office. ”

"Team Leader Zhao, why don't we invite someone from the tax bureau to come over tomorrow, and everyone will see it together when the time comes." The chairman of the political and legal committee suggested.

Zhao Qian felt that this was not bad. But he said, "No." I went to them personally. ”

The president laughed and said, "Why bother. I think that Team Leader Zhao is here, and even if those people from the tax bureau are arrogant, they will not fail to come. ”

Zhao Qian felt unhappy in his heart. What do these people want to do, they can't pull the tiger skin as a banner. Before this trip, Zhao Qian already knew that the tax bureau and the Luoyang government had a very unpleasant quarrel, and if the messenger played some tricks in the middle, the tax bureau might not come. At that time, it will become a situation where the tax bureau does not take the working group at the top into account. Zhao Qian has seen a lot of bad things at the grassroots level, and he began to be dissatisfied with the people in the Political and Legal Committee.

But Zhao Qian can't just get here and play official. So he smiled and said, "If you want to help, take my secretary to the tax office." My secretary will make an appointment with them to meet. ”

After speaking, Zhao Qian turned to his secretary, "Xiao Song, you have worked hard." Go and come back, don't eat over there, I'll wait for you here. ”

After hearing this, Secretary Song immediately agreed, and stood up with a little effort. Zhao Qian's horses are excellent, but these people's horses are not so good. It can be seen that he is working extremely hard.

Seeing that Zhao Qian was so sure, the Political and Legal Committee also sent a car to take Xiao Song to the tax bureau. Zhao Qian chatted casually with the people of the Political and Legal Committee. The Political and Legal Committee greatly criticized the arrogance of the tax bureau on weekdays, and was particularly dissatisfied with the rough actions of the tax police.

After making some preparations, the chairman of the political and legal committee asked: "Team leader Zhao, can you hand over the trial of prisoners to the judiciary in the future?" The Inland Revenue Department (IRD) is now setting up a separate office. We felt that sooner or later something big would happen. ”

Zhao Qian didn't answer immediately. The tax police are inherently violent institutions, and if they are gentle and elegant, it is a dereliction of duty. However, there are also many arguments in the imperial court that the tax bureau now has relatively independent judicial powers, which is inappropriate. The army has military tribunals, and that is the peculiarity of the army. The tax police set up their own courts, which obviously lacked legitimacy.

Moreover, it is not without negative situations before, some persons in charge of the tax police department pretend to be public and private, and arrest their enemies on the grounds of tax resistance.

After talking for a while, Zhao Qian couldn't help but yawn slightly. Finally waited for Secretary Song to come back, and Zhao Qian immediately asked for dinner and rest. The meal is really vegetarian, and the dishes include meat such as beef with cold sauce. Zhao Qian and the others had a meal, and then went to the guest house.

Taking a bath in the bathhouse of the guest house, Zhao Qian returned to his residence and asked Secretary Song what the tax bureau said.

"The tax office ...... and they said no problem. Just wait for Team Leader Zhao to meet them......" Secretary Song said in a daze while lying on the bed. As soon as he finished saying the main thing, there was no movement. Look closely, the guy is already asleep.

When he woke up the next day, Zhao Qian only felt sore. He began to regret his choice. After regretting it, Zhao Qian made a decision in his heart that if he wanted to run a horse in the future, he would go to a special venue to run a horse. As long as there is a means of transportation such as a car or a boat, he should choose a car and boat as much as possible. The distance from Kaifeng to Luoyang is about 400 miles, but the roads between the two places are not straight. The whole road went straight for 600 miles.

I am summing up my experience. Secretary Song woke up and saw that he wanted to get out of bed, but he couldn't move. Zhao Qian himself experienced this when he was a soldier, and according to the experience at that time, he helped Secretary Song up from the bed and walked around with him for a while, and finally let Secretary Song, who had never been a soldier, recover his mobility.

"Team Leader Zhao, I'm a shame." Secretary Song came back from the toilet with his support for the wall and said ashamedly.

"It's so hard to be out and about." Zhao Qian sighed. He suddenly remembered that the railways that were beginning to be built on a large scale were being prepared, and there were railways in Hangzhou, Gusu and Jiangning. Horses haul rail cars with a load of several tons on the railway, which is ten times more efficient than horse-drawn carriages.

Dad Zhao Jiaren was urging the research department to complete the steam car, and once the father even boasted that the train would be able to run up to 350 kilometers per hour in the future. Zhao Qian didn't believe that it was 400 miles from Kaifeng to Luoyang, and if he took a steam car and boat to go through the canal, he would arrive in one day. This is already very fast. If the train can really run 350 kilometers in an hour, it will take more than half an hour to get from Kaifeng to Luoyang.

…… Isn't this a fool's dream? It is more feasible to let Zhao Qian see how the huge steam engine drives the train on the railroad tracks.

However, there is really such a good means of transportation, Zhao Qian feels that travel does not have to be so hard. That is, Zhao Qian and they are not old, and this trip of running 200 miles a day did not scatter them. Don't look at his father's thousands of miles when he was young, Zhao Qian feels that his father is only afraid that he can't stand such bumps now.

Waiting for the secretary and entourage to get dressed, he limped a little and followed Zhao Qian to get up and go to breakfast. But the people from the political and legal committee did not appear. Fortunately, last night, they had already given Zhao Qian their breakfast tickets, and the people in the cafeteria only looked at the tickets, regardless of the people. When I saw that the number of the room hand card and the breakfast ticket were the same, I opened a meal for them.

This can't be blamed on the poor hospitality of the people of the Political and Legal Committee, the imperial court sent people to come so quickly, and a big man came. The people of the Luoyang government didn't go to bed until after 12 o'clock last night. This era is not the 21st century, and these people are not the dead house of the 21st century. At this time, no one woke up.

About when Zhao Qian finished eating, Wang Quanle and Wang Zhifu woke up. He rubbed his sour eyes, and there was a burst of unhappiness in his heart. The imperial court was really full of food, and sent someone to inspect this matter so quickly, although Wang Quanle had pushed the situation with all his might before, and now it has not reached the level that makes him completely satisfied.

Since he felt that he couldn't get up, Wang Quanle simply lay back on the warm quilt and closed his eyes thinking about the current situation. The most important situation was the impact of the imperial court's relocation of the capital. In the past, Luoyang was just a border city thousands of miles away from Hangzhou, the capital of the Great Song Dynasty. Although it is famous, it is beyond the reach of the imperial court, and Luoyang City is also insignificant to the Hangzhou imperial court.

After the capital was moved, Luoyang immediately changed from a border area to an important city next to Gyeonggi, which is roughly equivalent to the status of Gusu City, Songjiang Prefecture, and Ningbo Prefecture to Hangzhou. In the past ten years of the Great Song Dynasty, Gusu City has produced the Sima Kao family, and the famous prefect of Songjiang Mansion is Wen Tianxiang, Ningbo Mansion, and Zhao Jiaren's father has been the prefect there for many years. has a deep relationship with the old Zhao family. In the future, Luoyang Mansion will also have the same status.

Recognizing this, Wang Quanle found that he had to adjust his thinking more. If he can be called a famous minister of Luoyang Mansion, Wang Quanle's official career can be determined.

Thinking of this, Wang Quanle only felt refreshed. He got up and got out and started brushing his teeth and washing his face. While washing, he couldn't help but think of his official duties again. Among the many preparations, the political and legal committee is as unpleasant as a thorn. The people who cleaned up the tax bureau before, the public security bureau and the prefect Wang's pace were quite the same, but in the past few days, the attitude of the public security bureau has obviously begun to retreat. As for the reason, Wang Quanle was even more dissatisfied, originally Wang Quanle asked the Political and Legal Committee to determine whether the tax police had the power to shut people down on a large scale, and if the tax police did not have this power, then they could bring everyone out. At that time, it is good to let the tax bureau understand who has the final say at the local level.

In the face of the prefect's inquiry, the director of the bureau, in his capacity and position as a member of the Political and Legal Committee, told Wang Quanle that if he could not prove that the tax police had arrested people other than the target of the operation, according to the current regulations, he could not ask for people from the tax police.

Thinking of this answer, the more Wang Quanle, the prefect of Luoyang, thought about it, the more angry he became, and at this time, the Public Security Bureau still wanted to jump ship? After the people of the imperial court came down, once they thought that Luoyang was engaged in a battle of will, they would each play fifty boards. At that time, Wang Quanle's official career was defeated.

If you want to have a future, you have to lead the way. Wang Quanle is now leading the trend of 'all judicial cases are under the jurisdiction of the courts'. If this political opinion is demonstrated, Wang Quanle will have enough supporters. Many of the great members of the court had the same opinion. If Wang Quanle is allowed to be knocked down in the struggle, the losses of the big players will be great. For their own sake, like-minded people must unite in support of Wang Quanle. If this faction wins in the end, Wang Quanle's future will be guaranteed.

Of course, there is another premise for such expectations, Wang Quanle must not offend the Zhao official family. If the Zhao family thought that Wang Quanle was a guy who engaged in a battle of will, in order to appease the anger of the loser, Wang Quanle would have to be finished.

This is not incomprehensible. So Wang Quanle saw that the guys in the Political and Legal Committee began to retreat in various ways, hoping to make it look like they had nothing to blame. For them, as long as they fail to bring out the problem clearly, they will not become a victim of fierce struggle.

As veterans, they know very well the power that the Great Song military has, as long as the military is given any excuse, it is not particularly difficult to find a way to send a figure like Wang Quanle.

I brushed my teeth and washed my face a little angrily. Wang Quanle made it to the breakfast table, since things have reached such a point, let's fight. Even if he gives in now, Wang Quanle will not have good fruit to eat.

"Open the meal, open up." Wang Quanle shouted at his wife in the kitchen.
