Transporting materials is a big deal, after all, the imperial court set up a carrier to make the yamen do this.

After a short time, Jia Lian discussed with the metropolitan official.

When everyone was together, he and the metropolitan officials went to the front line, and the local yamen only left two main books to prepare for the storage of grain and grass on the five roads in eastern Shaanxi.

The matter was finalized, the metropolitan officials dispersed, and Jia Lian turned back to the inner house.

Early in the morning of the second day, Jia Lian wrote an official letter by hand, asking Zhao Tianliang and Zhao Tiandong to send it to the prefect's yamen, and at the same time, he ordered a clerk who was usually responsible for sending letters to and from the yamen in various parts of the city.

In the future, if there are official letters in the city, Zhao Tianliang and Zhao Tiandong will be sent directly.

Not only the two of them, but also Ni Er and others brought by Jia Lian, all asked the master to give them the status of officials in the yamen. This is also something that has been talked about since he was still in Rongguo's Mansion, and the two masters also mentioned it again and again along the way.

It's all old sayings, talk of experience.

As the dispatch of officials in this dynasty is frequent, and after a long time, it is inevitable that local officials will infringe on their rights, deceive their superiors and subordinates, and do things that 'protect each other'.

The new prefect can't handle it well, not to mention that the government decree doesn't go out of the yamen, and it is difficult to even get out of the office.

Therefore, the officials who took office later were also shrewd, and they always had a large group of people around them to help them, so as not to become blind in the yamen.

That's what the former transfer envoy did, and Jia Lian did it according to the rules.

The following master book quickly helped Ni Er and others record their names.

In fact, the Yamen of the Eastern Shaanxi Carrier was originally rebuilt, and it has not yet developed any intertwined relationships.

On 2 July, all preparations were made.

Not long after Jia Lian moved into Shaanzhou City, he had to travel again.

The materials to be sent are already in the storehouse at the entrance of the city, in addition to a number of grain, grass, cloth and silk utensils, there are also armor, knives and guns received from the Shaanzhou iron officials, bows, crossbows and arrows received from the Shaanzhou craftsmen, as for other wound medicine, tents and other things, there are countless others.

Jia Lian dispatched ten errand officers from the Yamen of the carrier, and then brought two clerical officials, a bookkeeping master, two inspectors, and Ni Er and other people.

The deputy is not much more to say, and he has something to say.

But these manpower alone are not enough.

Jia Lian took the official letter and went to the city to guard the yamen, and led one hundred and fifty soldiers to escort them along the way.

The garrison had already greeted him, and when he saw Jia Lian coming to the door, someone went out of the yamen to bring the soldiers over, and the governor also followed.

Jia Lian was then transferred to the prefect's yamen to receive the 1,200 laborers who were transporting supplies.

didn't take a car, only rode a horse, and when he got down in front of the palace, Jia Lian found that it was so lively in front of the yamen.

Several dark-faced herdsmen took a step ahead of him and ran to the drums hanging at the entrance of the yamen and tried to beat them, and in an instant, the rapid sound of the drums came far away.

Beat the drum and cry out!

Seeing Jia Lian coming over in an official robe, an old herdsman avoided in fear, and only the others, Xu is his son, still kept knocking.

When the messenger in the yamen heard the noise, he cursed in a low voice, and then took a stick in one hand and led in a few people who were beating the drum.

Jia Lian was about to enter the yamen, but when he saw this, he couldn't help but look at the yamen lobby curiously after entering.

Because of the drumming, the Jin prefect inside also came in a hurry, and he was calling people to ascend to the hall, but the master of the record had not yet arrived, so he was busy calling people to urge.

Jia Lian stood next to him, but he didn't forget his business, and when he saw a clerk coming from the palace, he asked him to lead the way in.

As soon as the labor was prepared, it was only necessary to receive it on the sidelines of the shooting range outside the city today.

Jia Lian wrote a document at the government office and stamped his own official seal, so that he could call the 1,200 laborers.

but to send another man to bring him to receive it.

The prefect has nothing to do.

When Jia Lian finished his work and walked out of the office inside, he had already seen many visitors outside the front door lobby.

The yamen lobby was originally semi-open, and when I heard the sound of drums in front of the yamen, there were people in the neighborhood who came to see the excitement.

At this time, the person who had previously played the drum was being tortured in the lobby and was beaten with a board.

Onlookers outside whispered.

"It's a bit heavier!"

Jia Lian stopped, looked up at the execution place, and couldn't help frowning slightly, there was still a drooping old man there.

Seeing this, the middle-aged official who led Jia Lian also stopped.

He put his hands in front of him, glanced at the lobby, and said with a smile: "These people are overstepping the level of the complaint, and the carrier may not know that according to the law of our dynasty, these people should be subjected to this board." Otherwise, everyone will not go to the county yamen below, and they will go to the government to ask the prefect to ask, where will I be busy. ”

Although the complaint can be questioned by the government office, but if you come up, you have to be beaten up, and if there is no real grievance, the people have to weigh whether it is worth it.

It is also in order not to waste the manpower of the government, so that the court has this law.

Jia Lian said: "I also know about this, but I heard that there are two levels of weight. What's more, when this family comes to sue, they only teach one person to suffer, how can there be any reason to be punished? ”

When the official heard this, he still smiled and said: "The prefect has his own considerations, and it is not good for us to wait. ”

"You can talk."

Jia Lian snorted coldly and kept this in mind for the time being.

He was busy with official business, so he waited to send supplies to the north, and when he came back, he would see what the old man's family had said.

At that moment, he left the prefect's yamen and rushed to the shooting range to receive the batch of laborers, and the government requisitioned a total of 1,205 people, and the actual number was 1,203.

The officer who led the way returned to himself.

The deputy's side had already been prepared, and more than 100 non-commissioned officers were led by the garrison and were guarding the side of the storeroom.

When Jia Lian came over with the laborers, he only needed to take out the supplies and set off.

Although there are many cattle and sheep in Shaanzhou, it takes too little time, and the divided pack horses can only drag some armor, weapons, grain and grass, and the rest have to rely on labor, carrying the burden, and pulling the cart.

The transport team was mighty, like a long snake leaving the city of Shaanzhou.

From the capital city of Shaanzhou to the front line, a total of more than 300 miles, the delivery of materials is slow, even if the road is good, you can only walk fifty or sixty miles a day, seven days fast, and more than ten days if you slow down.

Once a month, it takes nearly 20 days to send supplies, and when you don't send food, you have to be busy putting materials into the warehouse and going to Shaanzhou to run outside the city.

The official position of this carrier envoy is much more tiring than Jia Lian's previous errands.

In late July, after sending supplies and meeting with the commander of the army, Jia Lian returned to Shaanzhou City.

The labor was handed over to the prefect and the yamen was disbanded, and the next time I went again, it would be another wave.
