Chapter 3 Flowers and Stones

Emperor Zhao Ji of Song Dynasty had a wide range of interests, including pens and inkstones, paintings and history, shooting and imperialism, reading, painting, fine brushwork, ancient artifacts, mountains and rocks, strange flowers and plants, etc.

Zhao Ji was good at this before he became an emperor. He liked to practice calligraphy and painting, and to play with ancient artifacts and flowers. If such a person becomes an emperor, how could he have endless entertainment?

If the superiors have something to do, the subordinates will have much more!

How could Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Wang Fu, Liang Shicheng, Zhu Xie and others not rely on the will and promote the fire?

So, Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Wang Fu, Liang Shicheng, Zhu Xie and others developed the Flower and Stone Gang and collected various antique paintings, flowers and plants and stones for Zhao Ji.

Flowers and stones, among which flowers refer to flowers, plants, flowers and trees, stones are stones, and gang means gang fortune. After collection, they are collected and transported to Kaifeng Prefecture, Tokyo.

Having said that, it is not limited to flowers, plants, flowers, trees, and stones, but includes all rare treasures, enjoyment tools, entrance objects, and even women.

After Cai Jing became prime minister for the third time, he became more cautious and respectful to Zhao Ji. Seeing that Zhao Ji loved these objects, he took charge of Kaifeng Prefecture and ordered Zhu Xie and his son to secretly search for rare treasures in the southeast to worship Zhao Ji.

At the beginning, I was still hiding and was a little embarrassed, but in the end, I specially established the Suzhou Construction Bureau, Mingjin Bureau, Yingfeng Bureau, Imperial Front Man and Shipyard, Xicheng District, Quarry Office, Houyuan Construction Office, Imperial Front Life Office, Xingxing Bureau and other bureaus, yamen, specially collected various rare treasures for Zhao Ji, etc., and at this time it had reached a blatant and unscrupulous level.

Cai You, the son of Cai Jing, even imitated Wang Fu and created Xuanheku style tribute sects, which were from gold and jade on the top and vegetable fermented on the bottom, and were not taken in the cage.

Among them, Zhu Jie became even more aggressive. Under the banner of His Majesty the Emperor and used this as a promotion rank, his subordinates gathered countless minions and inquire about it. Once they found that there were stones and woods in the people's homes, even if the strong soldiers broke into the house and posted yellow seals, the people would punish the crime of traitors. Some stones and trees could not be moved out of the house, so they destroyed the house and demolished the walls and transported them away forcibly.

In order to avoid this disaster, the people offered respectful money to save money from disasters. For this reason, all middle-class families went bankrupt one after another, while poor families could only sell their children to provide for their needs. The people were suffering so much that the disaster of the Flower and Stone Gang had been plagued by the people for a long time. For this reason, the people were destroyed and their families were displaced, especially the people in the southeast.

Zhu Xie and others made a fortune, extorted countless money from the people, and not only said that they had slaughtered these items for free, but Zhu Xie and others also used this to withdraw a large amount of money from the imperial court.

It’s both sides of the world and you’ll get rich.

Zhu Xie and others not only made a fortune, but also promoted their positions and promoted their titles.

Zhu Xie was not only able to defend the commander and serve as an official position such as the Bureau of the Imperial Bureau, but also the governors of the southeastern areas and the county magistrates often came out of their homes, which could be said to be the birth of evil spirits and the demons danced around.

Seeing that this matter was so great, officials from all walks of life, prefectures, and military officials from all walks of life followed suit and rushed to the death to exploit the people. Without waiting for the order, they offered them to the capital and promoted them to the title.

After the tribute arrived in the capital, the eunuchs from the various bureaus rushed to the palace to give them rewards.

There are three ways to worship, and Flower and Stone Gang is just one of them. This one alone makes the people in the world unable to be peaceful, the people cannot bear the trouble, and their lives are in a miserable way.

The same is true for the people of Shizhushan, Fuqing County, Fuzhou Road, Fujian Road, and cannot be avoided from the disaster of Huashigang.

Not long ago, officials from Yingfeng Bureau, office worker and officials from Qu Magistrate Fuqing County and other officials came to Shizhu Mountain, hoping to take Mazu stones and worship the court. So the people near Shizhu Mountain elected a surname from Yuan to come forward and entrusted them to the house and door-to-door monks. Even the monks and Taoists on the mountain donated incense money, and then they raised dozens of coins to be paid to Fuqing County Government and Yingfeng Bureau.

He was soft-hearted in other people's mouths and soft-hearted in other people's hands. Under the advice of Qu County Magistrate Qu, Yingfeng Bureau stopped for a few days, but after a few days, he made a comeback and still wanted to take away the Mazu stone.

"Here, come..." At this time, the people who were talking about this matter loudly saw a large group of officials suddenly coming from the shore of Liyu Lake, so they looked here, and the voices of discussion became much smaller.

Yuan Li, Shizhu Mountain, saw a green-robed official coming over surrounded by his subordinates, so he hurriedly met him.

"See you... you are not Quoc Qu, who are you?" Yuan Li was surprised and asked in surprise after seeing the appearance of the official in front of him.

Yuan Lizheng originally thought that he was from Qu County, Fuqing County, but although the person in front of him was wearing the robe of the magistrate, he was not Qu County, so he was extremely surprised.

Qu Zhixian was short and fat, while the official was medium and fat, like a piece of wooden stake, with a protruding cheekbones on his face, covered with flesh, and a protruding lower lip, like an unevolved ape.

"Er Laizi?" Someone recognized the identity of this official and exclaimed.

"Kang Laoliu, have you recognized Grandpa?" the green robe official said proudly.

The second Lai Zi's surname is Lai. He was also from Fuqing County. He was a rogue. He either did nothing all day long, was idle, or teased women, fought fiercely, and stole chickens and dogs. Later, he heard that this person had gone to another place and defected to someone.

The people of Fuqing County never expected that Er Laizi would come back and were wearing the official robes of officials from the Song Dynasty.

Did he steal this official robe while stole it? Everyone was secretly puzzled.

"This is the new Lai County Magistrate of Fuqing County. Are you still not here to pay a visit?" said a flatterer in Fuqing County.

Everyone was in an uproar when they heard this.

It is not easy to obtain the magistrate of the Song Dynasty or the county magistrate. It is usually the imperial examination and can only be appointed as the magistrate or the county magistrate after gaining fame. Of course, there are also people who can be recommended by the officials through recommendations. It is necessary to recommend someone in the court. Generally speaking, only those who are important officials of the court have the right to recommend. If there is no one in the court, who recommends you?

Er Laizi was originally a rascal rogue in Shizhushan, Fuqing County. He didn't know many big words. He had a fame and fortune... He was the magistrate of Fuqing County, so he recommended it through whom he recommended it through? Is Er Laizi someone in the court?

All the people of Fuqing County were puzzled.

"I have met Daguan Lai, where did Magistrate Qu go?" Yuan Lizheng had no choice but to go to pay his respects.

Er Laizi is currently a parent of Fuqing County. No matter what kind of person he was before or how he got the official position, he is a master of the government after all.

People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads.

"Old bite insects, the government affairs are still there

Do you need to worry about it? But grandpa, I...ah... I am in a good mood today, so I will tell you, the stupid pig named Qu is not good, I have already rolled up the bed and rolled up, and now I have the final say in Shizhushan."

The flattering men in Fuqing County had already brought Zhang's ring chair to the tie ring chair. Er Laizi leaned on the ratie chair and looked at Yuan Lizheng proudly and said.

"Oh, Master Lai, what's wrong with you today?" Yuan Lizheng asked after stuffing Yi Guan's money into Er Laizi's hands, bent down and stood in front of Er Laizi.

Er Laizi took the copper coins and weighed them in his hand, then threw them back to Yuan Lizheng, spit out thick phlegm, took the tea bowl handed over by his subordinates, took a sip of the tea and said, "My mother's old slut, what are you talking about?"

Er Laizi then pointed to Mazu Stone and said, "It's not for this bird...uh... holy stone... I am the official who took this holy stone with his order today and offered it to the emperor...Your Majesty..."

The clay man also has three-point characteristics. The old bite insect on the left and the old splatter on the right made Yuan Li angry. After standing up straight, he said, "Mazu Shinai said that my mountain-controlling treasure in Shizhu Mountain will protect the safety of the land and make us wait for our lives. It is not that easy to take it away. Are you not afraid of us suing the emperor? Are you not afraid of the tens of thousands of people waiting for us to lose?"

"Yes, yes, Lao Li is saying a lot."

"Why should we steal our Mazu Stone?"

"You are also from Shizhushan, aren't you afraid of disasters from heaven?"

"I will wait for the capital to file a lawsuit against the emperor, and I will wait for tens of thousands of people to give up. I will not believe it. The world is so big that there is no place to reason?"

"Yes, yes, complain to the emperor, and tens of thousands of people will be defeated!"

The people of Shizhu Mountain were in high spirits and rushed forward, angrily scolding Er Laizi and others. They were not afraid of those who crossed the knife and labor service, so they had already grabbed Er Laizi and asked for it.

"Ah, a bird!" Er Laizi jumped up from the rattan chair, rolled up his sleeves, exposed his tattooed arms, and slapped his feet and cursed: "Want to rebel? Rebellion means scouting the house and beheading. Grandpa, I am ordered to do the job, and I am against the court, and I am against Your Majesty. Can you, the bad people, afford the crime of rebellion? Bah, how could you thirty mother betrayed? Today, Grandpa, I want to cut off a few heads and kick them as a ball. Grandpa, I will kill a few bad people today. Not only will I be innocent, but I will be rewarded and will be promoted and rich. Do you believe it?"

Birds of a feather flock together, and Zhu Jie, who was born a rogue, was born with a ruthless aura, and his subordinates were also like this. How could they be afraid of these little people making trouble?

Er Laizi put the big hat of committing a crime of corruption on the people of Shizhushan, making everyone dare to be angry but not speak out. They stared at Er Laizi and others angrily, and the noise gradually subsided.

In this world, it is not a last resort or a time when I can’t survive anymore, who dares to rise up?

"Old swagger!" Seeing that the people were quiet, Er Laizi walked proudly to Yuan Lizhen and sneered, "Accuse the emperor of the emperor, tens of thousands of people to sue him? Grandpas are orders. Where did you sue him? Which yamen has taken the courage to accept the emperor's lawsuits from others?"
