In the city of Bianliang, in the embroidery building.

Cui Niannu was looking at a letter, which was Wang Bin's letter, which talked about the birth of Jinguo this time.

"I'll wait for you!"

Cui Niannu said.

There is an indescribable emotion in the leisurely tone.

Now, that person's newlywed Yan'er naturally can't be nostalgic for Feng *yue, and originally wanted to drag it out for a while and then pick her up; It's just that now, he is leaving again and going to the Kingdom of Jin. See you again, but I don't know when.

Now, Chai Yun is busy with her career, and now in her busy schedule, she sent her a letter and gave an answer, which can be regarded as a matter of affection and righteousness.

"Sister, I'm the leader of this class!"

The girl Liang Hongyu walked in, her expression was full of joy and cheerfulness.

"Congratulations sister!"

Cui Niannu smiled.

"When will Mr. Chai pick up my sister through the door?" Liang Hongyu said with a smile.

"He went to the Kingdom of Jin, and he didn't know when he would return!" Cui Niannu said sadly.

…………

At this moment, in a mansion in Bianliang.

A young girl was looking through some manuscripts, which were left by her husband Chai Yun.

After the newlywed, it was only a short time for the parties to separate again.

Cai Qin missed a little.

"After a farewell, the two places hang ...... each other"

Thinking about it, I miss it more and more.

In the eyes of a woman, love is the whole world; In the eyes of men, the cause is the world.

As for women, it's just a tonic after fatigue.

…………

It's winter, and the weather is getting colder. From the end of the Tang Dynasty to the fifth dynasty, the climate of China gradually entered a Xiaoice period, which was significantly colder than the temperature of the same period in later generations.

This is a huge disaster for Huaxia.

This means that the ethnic minorities in the north will inevitably go south; It also means that the Central Plains region is facing a decrease in agricultural production, a shortage of food, and an increase in peasant uprisings!

The southward movement of the Jin army is a historical inevitability.

In other words, it was not the Jin army, but also the invasion of other ethnic minorities.

Soon, Wang Bin arrived at Liang Zhongshu's mansion, and the group walked through the courtyard until they reached an arched courtyard gate, and all the small servants who accompanied them stopped, but there were more than ten concubines and maids standing on both sides of the flower path in the courtyard. The size of the mansion is really not small, and it is obviously luxurious in terms of size, decoration and utensils.

In the meantime, the flower path is tortuous, the flying pavilion arch bridge, the dwellings are scattered in the middle, there are more than ten places of large and small, what is more rare is that the styles are different, and the scenery in the courtyard reflects each other, blends into one. I think that the person who designed this mansion in the first place must have been a master architect, a bit like the Humble Administrator's Garden in later generations.

Enter a flower hall, where all kinds of sea and land delicacies are properly placed, the wine is arranged, and the maids stand on both sides.

They sat opposite each other, and their beautiful concubines poured wine and cloth dishes by their side.

The two drank and talked at the same time.

"Brother Xian. Be careful when passing through Shandong! Liang Zhongshu said: "Not long ago, I escorted the birthday gang to celebrate my father-in-law's birthday, but I was robbed by gangsters!" And Yang Zhi's goods are also extremely incompetent! ”

"The case, has it been solved?" Wang Bin asked.

"It's broken!" Liang Zhongshu said: "It's a bandit named Chao Gai in Shandong, and now he has gone to Liangshan. The place in Liangshan is the diversion of the Yellow River and the evolution of the Yellow River, swamps, lakes, and mud are the mainstays, and there is no place to find at all. In this place of Shandong, poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people! I lost 100,000 yuan of the birth platform, I have to make up for it again, and I lost a lot! ”

If you lose your birthday, it doesn't mean you can't hand it in, but you have to make it up.

"Birthday Gang, can my brother tell me in detail!" Wang Bin asked.

Liang Zhongshu spoke carefully.

Wang Bin closed his eyes and analyzed carefully. After a while, he spoke: "Brother, only you and Yang Zhi knew at that time!" ”

"Yes!" Liang Zhongshu said: "In order to prevent leaks, only the two of us know. After all, it's too much movement, and it's not good! ”

Wang Bin nodded, but understood.

Sending it with great fanfare actually has a bad impact, and it can be low-key.

It seems that only Liang Zhongshu and Yang Zhi know everything. Liang Zhongshu guards self-theft, it is impossible, and if he loses his birth compendium, he must make up for it; I won't pay it because I lost it.

As for Yang Zhi, it is impossible for him to steal from prison.

After all, for Yang Zhi, an official fan, being an official is more important than money.

In fact, these days, many people want officials but not money, money is important, but officials are more important.

"It seems that there are internal ghosts in the Liang Mansion, and they secretly communicate with Chao Gai and others, otherwise Chao Gai and others will not have accurate news!" Wang Bin said: "Another case of collusion between officials and bandits! ”

"I also know, but the mansion is too big, and if I want to investigate, it's not easy to investigate!" Liang Zhongshu sighed, "Day and night, it's hard to prevent thieves!" ”

"Don't talk about it, eat and drink!"

"Good!" Wang Bin said.

100,000 guan, for those grass cowards and bandits, it may be an astronomical amount, but for Liang Zhongshu, it is nothing more than that.

In later generations of China, officials were not allowed to do business, officials were not allowed to embezzle, and once involved, it was punished with shuanggui at least and sentenced on the spot.

However, in the Song Dynasty, officials were allowed to do business, and it can be said that by virtue of power, even if it was a legal and reasonable operation, an official could easily make a fortune. Liang Zhongshu was the prefect of the Daimyo Prefecture, which was equivalent to the mayor of the municipality directly under the central government in later generations.

In this position, even if Liang Zhongshu is not greedy or occupied, and is extremely honest, it is easy to get rich.

100,000 guan seems to be a lot, but in fact, for Liang Zhongshu, it's just a drizzle, and he doesn't care at all.

And the money given to his father-in-law is in Cai Jing's hands, and there is really not much money for luxury enjoyment.

How much money can be spent by eating, drinking, and having fun.

A lot of money, mostly to subsidize the loss of officials, and some financial deficiencies.

After all, when the Song Dynasty had a fiscal deficit, it was difficult to make up for it by normal means, and it could only be made up by gray income.

After drinking and drinking, Wang Bin was also a little dazed, and was helped up into a delicate residence by some maids, lying on the big bed, and vaguely felt that a woman was wonderful.

In a daze, it was like a dream.

In the early morning of the next day, Wang Bin opened his eyes in a daze, and felt that there was a woman beside him, naked and fruitful, and her whole body was extremely soft. ”

"No need!"

Wang Bin sighed and began to get up.

I only felt that he had fallen.

Before the imperial examination, he wanted to be a clean official, but after the imperial examination, Wang Bin was a real corrupt official.

Moreover, you have to be a corrupt official to get mixed up.

In the Great Song Dynasty, no official is not greedy, and an official is not greedy or occupied, which means being isolated from the circle, sitting on a cold bench for the rest of his life, and not thinking about promotion for the rest of his life.

If you want to be an official, you must integrate into the circle and become a member of it.

Once, Wang Bin was also a little puzzled, but Cai Jing told him a story.

A county was hit by floods, the river dam collapsed, and the imperial court needed funding to build the river dam.

At this moment, the county magistrate is faced with two choices, one is to become a clean official, gain a good reputation, and evil the boss, and the boss is angry, and the allocation is very little or even none; One is to be a corrupt official and bribe his boss, and when the boss is happy, he immediately approves the money.

A few days later, in a county office, a county magistrate was offering a bribe to a boss. After the boss left, the county order immediately showed a heroic color: "One day, I will sweep away all the ministers in the world!" ”

The concubine was puzzled: "Master, I want to sweep away the mediocre officials, but why do you defile yourself and are willing to bribe your boss!" ”

The county order said: "Clearing the name and stigma, it's not worth mentioning!" If I only seek to clear my name, but I can't be an official, what good will I do to the people of a county! If we do not defile ourselves, we will not be able to protect the interests of the people. I am a capable minister, not an incorruptible official, and if I do not cater to the world, I will not be able to relieve any troubles for the saints. Uncle Boyi is noble, but it is useless to the people of the world, what is the use of noble? Chen Ping stole his sister-in-law and deceived money, but he shared his worries for the Lord. Xiao He defiled himself, so that the Lord could trust him. I am willing to be Chen Xiao's generation, and use my ability to help the people of the world. Today's turbidity is for the clarity of the coming day! ”

This county order is Cai Jing in his youth!
