The year of destiny has long passed, and Su Shi, who is almost to the age of not being confused, rarely has a time when he is shy.

When his gaze fell from the beams of the roof, and then he pretended to ignore his surroundings, he began to excuse his loser. Of course, the purpose is not to wake up, but to show that he is difficult.

"When the old man was in Hangzhou, he organized 200,000 conscripts, and it only took one winter to dredge the West Lake."

"When I came to Yingzhou, I found that Yingzhou suffered more floods than Hangzhou, and the scope was larger. Civilians have suffered even more severely. So I also had the idea of dredging rivers and lakes, and I used tens of thousands of conscripts, and I didn't even finish half of the project in one winter. Li Kui was no longer able to say anything about Su Shi, the problem was that Su Shi still felt wronged.

Hangzhou has money, people and food, and the big project of 200,000 yuan will be done. But what is there in Yingzhou, there is less than 200,000 yuan left in the treasury, and it can't do big things, which drags down Su Shi's kindness to do things for the people.

What state is Yingzhou and what state is Hangzhou? Can it be compared?

Among the richest cities in the Great Song Dynasty, Hangzhou has always had a place. Most of the other cities are in the Central Plains, that is, in the territory of Henan in later generations. Including the four most important capitals of the Great Song Dynasty.

Bianliang, Tokyo;

Xijing Luoyang;

Nanjing Yingtianfu, the Yingtianfu of the Great Song Dynasty is Shangqiu, do you feel very aggrieved? But there is no way, Emperor Taizu thinks that his Longxing land is Songzhou, and after ascending the throne, he has been thinking about it, and wants to set the capital, if it is not for the purpose of containing the Western Xia, Kaifeng has too much advantage, and he will not choose to set the capital Kaifeng, but choose Songzhou, which is the territory of Shangqiu in later generations;

Finally, the Daimyo's mansion, that is, the Beijing of the Great Song Dynasty.

It has become the most important super city in the Great Song Dynasty. After these cities, there are Hangzhou, Jiangning and other state capitals to catch up.

However, unlike the cities of the Central Plains, Hangzhou has a city ship, that is, a maritime trade city. The degree of affluence is obvious.

Yingzhou is just a state capital on the edge of the Huai River, and if it weren't for the Yingshui and Cai rivers together with the canals and ditches, few people in the Great Song Dynasty would know about this city.

The Cai River is one of the three major water systems in Bianliang. The other two are the Wuzhang River and the Bian River.

"And then?"

Zhang Zhi asked very inappropriately.

Su Shi muttered: "I owe a little!" ”

Zhang Zhu didn't dare to ask, he had a very bad feeling that the treasury of Yingzhou was probably in the hands of his unreliable uncle Shi and had been emptied.

Li Kui headed iron and asked, "What do you mean by owing a little?" ”

Su Shi didn't have the heart to say, Gao Yu was helpless, who made him the manager, and came forward and said: "It's that the government has borrowed some money from the rich families in the city, not much, and it looks like tens of thousands." ”

"Do you want to repay the borrowed money?"

"That's nature."

"What's the use?"

"Tax! This year's summer tax, autumn tax, and commercial tax are almost the same. ”

Li Kui felt that it was very likely that this matter would be yellow in the end. Su Shi not only doesn't take his own money seriously, but even the government's money doesn't take it seriously. What's even more terrifying is that Su Shi doesn't even seem to abide by the rules of officialdom, which is terrifying. If you don't pay attention to the rules of officialdom, you will be excluded by officialdom, which is probably another reason why Su Shi's officialdom is very poor.

To be his successor is generally unlucky. Unless Su Shi had time to make a move on the treasury, he was ordered to change places. Otherwise, Su Shi would have prepared a super project with a pat on his head because he was happy. Fortunately, the third envoy is not his old man, otherwise the treasury of the Great Song Dynasty would be Xuan.

As for the rules of officialdom, it is very simple, being an official is not for yourself, but for people, and it is a face of the eunuch group. It's like a saying: stay a line in life, and see each other later.

As for the rules of officialdom, regardless of which dynasty or generation, officialdom is not only to give face to the predecessor, but also to give the successor a way to live. Give face to your predecessor, and it will naturally be easy to understand. The predecessor has some mistakes in the official position, and if the successor feels that the problem is not big, he should help cover it up or smooth it out. It's called aftercare. After all, the possibility of the predecessor being promoted is very high, and the officials who are senior officials will crush people to death, and they will always offend the officials of the upper ranks, and they will not be treated well wherever they go.

As for giving the successor a way to live, it is easy to understand.

The treasury has sufficient money and food, so that the heir will not be in the critical period when the new official takes office, and he will not have to return with no money and no food in his hand. This is a way for the successor to live. To be an official is to establish authority, but at the same time, the combination of grace and authority is the way to be an official, only prestige can only bring hatred and resentment, and it is impossible to gain the trust and admiration of subordinates. Only by combining grace and power can we achieve harmony between rigidity and softness, and harmony between the top and bottom.

But Su Shi didn't think so at all.

He was completely on his own standpoint, with good intentions, and then he worked hard, hard, hard, and made a big deal out of it, and finally put himself in.

Thanks to Su Shi's reputation is loud enough and his status is high enough, his name as a straight bachelor of Longtu Pavilion is very useful, because unless the successor is an unlucky person who has been taken down from the prime minister and deputy prime minister, the official rank of the next governor of Yingzhou will definitely be lower than that of Su Shi, who is the third rank of the official rank. This caused the successor to be aggrieved and looked at the empty treasury with tears when the official seal was handed over, and there was a great possibility of inheriting a large number of loan documents left by Su Shi.

The ending is extremely miserable, but there is no place to reason.

As for the successor being a high-ranking official who was removed from the court, there will be no opinion, anyway, it is a distribution, no matter how it is lived.

Li Kui felt that he couldn't count on Su Shi, his ancestor was worried, and it was useless to have a high IQ, but he would offend people everywhere because he was too smart and had a low quotient.

As a result, he could only hope for Zhang Xuan, although Zhang Dian was stripped of his official position as deputy minister and privy envoy.

But he still retains his bachelor's share. Since Wang Anshi's death, Zhang Dian has become the banner of the law-changing faction, and the law-changing faction has taken him as the leader. Didn't Zhang Zhu say that Jiang Ning paid Cai to be systematic?

It must be the man of Zhangdun.

Seeing Zhang's son asking for help, he couldn't be flexible?

Li Kui glanced up at Su Shi and Su Guo, both of them looked depressed, as if they were helpless in the face of today's predicament. Li Kui had no choice but to go out in person as the third generation of Sumen. He opened his mouth to ask Zhang Zhu, and the possibility of success was naturally much lower than Su Shi, and much lower than Su Guo......

Because, Su Shi is a friend of Zhang Xuan, Zhang Zhu also has to call Su Shi an uncle, Su Guo and Zhang Zhu are commensurate with each other, Zhang Zhu does not look at Su Guo's face, but also looks at Su Shi's face.

But what about Li Kui?

Who cares about his face?

What's more, Zhang Zhu once stubbornly thought that Li Kui was unreliable.

In desperation, Li Kui asked with difficulty: "That uncle ...... uncle"

Zhang Zhu opened his mouth and said in his heart: I am cowardly, I really dare not recognize Li Kui as my nephew, but it is not easy to refuse in front of Su Shi. I felt a little uncomfortable.

Isn't it good to call Zhang Guanren just now?

Zhang's share is an official, and the Great Song Dynasty calls it that. The addressees are generally the children of official eunuchs, or people with official titles.

It's just that Zhang Zhu won't know what he says, Li Kui has a strong burden from his heart about calling a man-official.

In his subconscious, the title of 'official' is not a man's name for a man at all.

Zhang Zhu nodded helplessly and said: "If the virtuous nephew has something to say, this matter is a time for collective efforts, don't hide it." ”

Li Kui held the upper half and asked: "The Jiangning prefect Cai was to be systematized as the master said just now, I don't know who is also able to be accommodating." ”

"Cai Bian is afraid that he will not be accommodating, even if Brother Zhang goes, he will not hesitate when it is time to pinch him. He's such a person, stubborn and a headache. Without waiting for Zhang Zhu to speak, Su Shi explained.

Cai Bian?

Isn't this person Cai Jing's brother?

And it's a brother.

In the history of the Great Song Dynasty, there are two pairs of brothers who are the most famous in the imperial examination, one pair is Su Shi Su Zhe brothers, and the other pair is Cai Jing and Cai Bian brothers.

Su Shi and Su Zhe are famous for their writings.

And Cai Jing and Cai Bian brothers are famous as high-ranking officials in calligraphy, and both of them have been prime ministers.

And Cai Bian has another part, Wang Anshi's son-in-law.

This man is certainly a supporter and executor of the Fa-Changs, but at the same time, he must be a very stubborn person. Later, he couldn't get used to his brother Cai Jing, and even his brother wanted to impeach the fierce man.

Let him be flexible, a thousand difficulties!
