Chapter 1386: Sudden Incident
Li Qinzai rarely spoke hard to reason with others, and he was never so patient with his disciples.
Whether it is knowledge or the truth of life, it depends on one's own understanding, no matter how much others talk about, it is also about other people's own successful experiences, and most of the successes in the world cannot be replicated.
Ma's father said that he didn't like money and had never touched it.
Liu Gan's father said that he was face blind and didn't know if his daughter-in-law was good-looking.
Do you dare to listen to these truths?
Li Qinzai himself also hates those who are reasonable, do not do to others what you do not want to be done to others, and he naturally does not like to reason with others.
But Lao Song is different.
I have known Lao Song for many years, and they are good friends with each other, and Lao Song has a lot of shortcomings, but his biggest advantage is to treat people sincerely, of course, only to treat Li Qinzai sincerely.
Because of this friendship, Li Qinzai is still willing to tell him a few more words.
After all, he and Lao Song have gotten along well over the years, whether in business or private affairs, Li Qinzai mentioned Song Sen, one is for the sake of their friendship, and the other is also partly selfish.
He didn't want Lao Song to be promoted, and Baiqi Division would change to a stranger to take over his position, and Li Qinzai would have to spend time and energy to re-establish a relationship with him, which was too tiring.
Lao Song is an official fan, and he has been dreaming of being promoted all these years, and in his dream, he has achieved the position of the chief of the Tang Dynasty of the Hundred Cavalry Division, and since then he has been powerful and equal to the court minister.
The dream is beautiful, but once it was punctured by Li Qinzai, Lao Song was stunned for a long time, and the child was confused.
"Close is close, far away is estrange...... Hey, that seems to make sense. "Old Song is like a Buddha sitting under the Bodhi tree, and suddenly became enlightened.
The size of power is not in the level of official position, but in the distance from the Son of Heaven.
Li Qinzai's words suddenly made Song Sen suddenly brightened.
The more he thought about it, the more it made sense, Song Sen pondered for a long time, and suddenly got up and bowed to Li Qinzai.
"Thank you Li Jungong for the order, the lower official understands."
Li Qinzai said with a smile: "Don't thank me, if you open your mouth to thank you, I'm embarrassed to collect money from you...... Officialdom is a wise saying, it's not too much for me to charge you 10,000 yuan, right? ”
Song Sen hesitated for a moment, and was about to grit his teeth to agree, but Li Qinzai smiled again: "That's it, let's talk about money hurts a lot of feelings, if I need the help of Baiqi Division in the future, you will give me enough strength to work hard." ”
Song Sen breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly patted his chest and pointed to the sky and swore to do his best.
…………
In the afternoon of the next day, outside the city of Jiangzhou.
A fast horse galloped over, ignoring the soldiers on duty outside the city gate, and ran towards the city gate as fast as he could.
After entering the city, he went straight to the Assassin's Mansion, turned over and dismounted in front of the Assassin's Mansion, and the knight held up a fire-painted official document in his hand, and shouted: "Duchang County Order Emergency Document, Report to the Song Assassin's History!" ”
When the messenger on duty outside the Assassin's Mansion heard this, he didn't dare to stop him, so he hurriedly stepped out of the way and let the knight rush into the mansion.
In the second hall of the Assassin's Mansion, Song Jinshan looked solemn and looked at the official document in his hand word by word.
The official document was sent by the Duchang County Order, which is subordinate to Jiangzhou and is one of the counties under the jurisdiction of Jiangzhou, and Song Jinshan is the direct official of the Duchang County Order.
The official document was held in Song Jinshan's hand, and he felt that the thin paper was a little hot.
It is naturally not an ordinary trivial matter to let the errand send the official document to Jiangzhou urgently.
To put it simply, there is a trouble in Duchang County, which is related to human life.
It is now the spring of the fourth year of Datang Linde, and the spring sowing season in various states and counties has passed, and farmers have planted wheat and rice seedlings into the ground.
About 20% of the farmland in Duchang County is planted with sweet potato seedlings.
This is also the result of Teng Wang's efforts to lobby and promote in the Jiangnan area last year.
The day before yesterday, Li Qinzai went to the Jiangzhou Thorn Mansion for a banquet, during which Lu Yun promised that where the Lu clan of Wu County was within reach, he was willing to take out 30% of the land to plant sweet potatoes.
This promise was quickly implemented by the Lu family of Wu County, and only two or three days after the banquet, the Lu family ordered more than 20 villages under the jurisdiction of Duchang County to allocate 30% of farmland and plant sweet potato seedlings.
However, for some reason, the decision to plant sweet potato seedlings was widely opposed by farmers in Duchang County, including one village who did not hesitate to cut off their fingers in public to show their determination in order not to plant sweet potatoes.
It was a clerk from Duchang County who promoted the planting of sweet potatoes, saying that he was an "official", and he did not even have a formal grade, and he was not a product in the official system of the Tang Dynasty, and he was not even an official.
But this little scribe went down to the local villages, but he was the emperor of the earth bigger than the sky.
The scribe was immediately angry, so he clashed with the farmer, and under the compulsory order of the clerk, the farmer's land that had been planted with rice seedlings was pulled out by the county officials and forcibly replanted with sweet potatoes.
As soon as the scribes did this, the contradiction finally broke out.
That night, the farmer killed his wife and children with knives at home, and committed suicide by pulling a rope and hanging it from a beam.
is all dead, in the era of simple folk customs in the Tang Dynasty, it is simply appalling.
The cause of this murder was caused by the cultivation of sweet potatoes.
When the official document was handed to Song Jinshan, the assassin of Jiangzhou, Song Jinshan's heartbeat accelerated a lot, and he realized that trouble was coming.
died a whole household register, Duchang County Commander also knew that the situation was serious, he couldn't hide it at all, if he deceived and didn't report it, his sin was even greater, so he had to report it to Song Jinshan urgently.
Song Jinshan sat in the hall, his expression was blue and red, and after a while, he gritted his teeth and said: "Come on, prepare the carriage, this official is going to see Li Jungong outside the city, and in addition, please ask Lu Yungongzi to also move to Li Jungong, I have a major matter to report." ”
An hour later, Song Jinshan and Lu Yun were already sitting in Li Qinzai's tent.
Li Qinzai looked at the official document with a solemn expression, and read it word by word for a long time before he looked away and looked at Song Jinshan and Lu Yun.
Lu Yun's face was bitter, and he got up and apologized to Li Qinzai: "I didn't expect the farmers in Duchang County to resist planting new grain so much, and I am really sorry for causing trouble to Li Jungong." ”
Li Qinzai shook his head and said: "This matter has nothing to do with the Lu clan of Wu County, what I want to know now is why the farmers in Duchang County are so resistant to planting sweet potatoes, the yield of new grain varieties is obvious to all, but the farmers in Duchang County seem to have a common enmity with sweet potatoes, why is this?" ”
Song Jinshan frowned and pondered for a moment, and said tentatively: "Maybe the little official in Duchang County acted too domineering, forcibly pulled out other people's rice seedlings, and changed sweet potatoes to others, that farmer felt insulted, and he didn't dare to retaliate against the officials, so he had to choose to commit suicide......"
"In the final analysis, the farmer should have been breathless to make such an unwise move, and the lower officials believe that it should have nothing to do with the cultivation of sweet potatoes."
Li Qinzai smiled noncommittally, handed over the official document in his hand, and said: "Things should not be so simple, Song Tingshi, you heard of this official document......
Song Jinshan didn't know why, so he leaned over and really sniffed it, and then looked at Li Qinzai with a puzzled expression.
"What do you smell?" Li Qinzai asked with a smile.
Song Jinshan shook his head blankly: "The lower official is stupid ......"
Li Qinzai sighed and said, "I smell the smell of conspiracy. ”
