Chapter 6: How To Endure
Song Fujian Road Shizhu Mountain, Fuqing County, Fuzhou
"So you are Li Sanjian?" Zhu Ruming asked Li Sanjian, the general secretary of Fujian Road, who led his troops.
Zhu Ruming then shook the crimson official robe on his body, as if to remind Li Sanjian that he was also wearing the crimson official robe...
"Oh, Zhu Tidian knows this official?" Li Sanjian asked back.
"Who doesn't know who is the top scholar in the Song Dynasty, and who doesn't know who is the master of the Fujian Road Inspector of the Song Dynasty?" Zhu Ruming sneered.
"Since that's the case, why didn't Zhu Tidian worship Shangguan when he met?" Li Sanjian said with a smile.
I'll worship you, a thief donkey? Zhu Ruming suddenly rushed up when he heard this. Don't say that you are a small local official, even the officials of Kaifeng Prefecture were very respectful when they saw them. Now Li Sanjian turned around and actually asked himself to bow to him. Isn't this a reversal?
"What is Shangguan? You, Li Sanjian, are also the Shangguan of your official? You don't urinate and look at him?" Zhu Ruming shook his official robe again, and snorted coldly with his chest and abrupt belly: "I am not a member of you, I can't pee a pot, go there, and stop whenever I cool down. Don't delay my official's business."
"Zhu Ruming!" Li Sanjian lowered his face and shouted: "You are a little girl from the eighth rank, and you dare to wear a red robe? This is an abduction, and I can immediately take you down and punish you."
After the Yuanfeng restructuring, the colors of Song official robes were divided into three levels, the first level, that is, officials above the fourth rank wore purple official robes, sixth rank and above the sixth rank and above the nineth rank and green.
Officials of the Song Dynasty wore various official robes according to their ranks and were not allowed to violate the rules.
But at this time, the Zhu Jie family was powerful and did fewer things to violate the system? When they went out, they were tied up horses, chariots and horses, and flags that covered the sky. The chariots were so grand that even the princes of the Song Dynasty were not as good as those of the princes of the Song Dynasty. They had been seriously violating the system and had been violating the system for a long time, let alone the color of this small official robe. At the same time, no one dared to hold on to this matter.
Zhu Ruming, a member of the Eighth-rank Yingfeng Bureau, often strolled around in a scarlet official robe. This was both majestic and cool. At least he looked majestic in front of his wives and concubines, and seemed capable...
But violating the system means violating the system. It would be reasonable if Li Sanjian used this to punish him. However, Li Sanjian believed that the court was not expected to be concerned about the matter, and Emperor Zhao Ji of Song Dynasty would not take care of the matter.
"I...this is given by Your Majesty." Zhu Ruming said after hearing this: "I am the emperor's order to run the matter publicly and is an envoy under the orders, and he is the emperor's mission."
The court also had the saying "give red" or "give purple", which means that the ranks of the past are not enough, and the emperor issued an edict to wear a red or purple garment, but such favor is not easy to obtain.
Zhu Ruming finally found an excuse and couldn't help but look at Li Sanjian proudly and said, "Li Sanjian, when I see me like the king, quickly kneel down and bow to the great ceremony."
"Kneel down and kowtow quickly, otherwise it will be considered as offending the king." At this time, Er Laizi also got up and hid behind Zhu Ruming and said.
Er Laizi always pays attention to Li Sanjian's right foot, and once there is any movement, he will immediately run away...
Li Sanjian smiled slightly, glanced at the two of them, pointed at Mazushi and said, "After the emperor's order, it means this matter?"
"That's right!" Zhu Ruming nodded and said, "Your Majesty Jinkou designated this Mazu Stone from Shizhu Mountain. We are here to take it with the order. These troublemakers dare to stop them. Li Jingluo, if you assist me in handling the matter, I will not only avoid you from bowing, but also forgive you for your crime of disrespect for the emperor.
How about getting a hint for you?”
"Oh, so I want to thank you." Li Sanjian touched his beard and smiled.
"It's not necessary to thank me." Zhu Ruming nodded with satisfaction and said proudly: "But in the capital, in all parts of the world, there are quite a few officials who have been promoted and wealthy by my Zhu family, but there are also many officials who have been dismissed from my Zhu family. To put it bluntly, there are only one truth, that is, those who follow me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish."
Li Sanjian snatched Zhu Xie's wife. This is my old age. It has been a long time since I was over. Maybe Zhu Xie had forgotten it a long time ago. You should know that Zhu Xie had a large group of wives and concubines at this time, and there were many beautiful women among them.
Since that's the case, why should Zhu Ruming beg for Li Sanjian at this time? If you want to beg for it, it is not too late to settle the accounts later. No matter what, Li Sanjian is a leading official in the road, holding all the money, grain, and troops. There are many places where Li Sanjian should rely on Li Sanjian. As for now, suppress the resistance of the villagers in Shizhushan and suppress the Fuzhou Food and Vegetarian Demon Sect.
Speaking of Zhu Jie and Zhu Ruming on weekdays, the officials in the local prefectures flattered Zhu Jie and Zhu Ruming, how could they remind Zhu Ruming to bring a stick like this?
"Relying on your Zhu family's promotion and wealth?" Li Sanjian laughed instead of anger, pointed at Er Laizi and asked, "Are you just a despicable person?"
I didn’t even attach to Cai Jing back then, would I still rely on you? Li Sanjian cursed in his heart.
At this time, Li Sanjian was extremely depressed, angry, and sad. The more he worked, the more he felt uncomfortable, and Li Sanjian also understood a truth, that is, the mud could not be supported on the wall.
Since Li Sanjian took office as the Fuzhou Supervisor, he has worked diligently, repairing civil affairs, repairing military affairs, reducing labor service, reducing taxes, lenient punishment and prisons, building roads and bridges, building water conservancy, developing commerce, and especially vigorously developing maritime trade.
In the past few years, the taxes tributed by the imperial court on Fujian Road were increasing, which was several times higher and faster than before, and the people's lives were getting better and better, and their lives were becoming more and more stable. But at this time, the imperial court actually promoted the "Flowers and Stone Gang" and had already affected Fujian Road and Fuzhou, robbed fish and fled the people's wealth, causing Fujian Road to make the people's lives in poverty, and even the families were destroyed.
Isn’t this a hundred years of hard work and a single destruction? Li Sanjian’s efforts, hardships and sweat over the past few years of hardships and sweat were destroyed.
You should know that "Huashigang" harasses not only the common people, but even the local prefectures are incredible.
Fujian is mountainous, and the transportation of goods relies on waterways, construction bureaus, Mingjin Bureau, Yingfeng Bureau, Yuxian Shipyard and other bureaus need to collect a large number of ships in order to transport the "Huashigang". The civilians and servants almost caught all the ships on Fujian Road in one go. Even the ships used for maritime trade by the Zhoushi warships and Maritime Bureau were collected by them.
Not only did the Bureau of Minjin, the Bureau of Ming Dynasty, the Bureau of Shipping and other bureaus collect a large number of ships. The people and the people will be effective from the top and the people will be more fond of their favors! The officials of various prefectures and prefectures in the local governments also compete to meet each other, including Fujian Road, which collects various rare treasures and recruits ships and civil servants in large numbers, which has formed a trend of officialdom. It is as if it is not the case, it cannot maintain its official position and cannot be promoted. In fact, the actual situation is the same. If you want to be promoted, you must follow the Cai Jing and Zhu Jie.
This is also the main reason why Li Sanjian stayed on Fujian Road for several years but failed to receive any promotion.
Regarding this, Li
How could Sanjian not be angry, how could he not be angry? But he was helpless.
The Bureau of Creation, the Bureau of Mingjin, the Bureau of Yingfeng, the Bureau of the Imperial Prefecture, and other bureaus were indeed yamen established by the orders. They had great power and were lawless. They not only collected books, but also transported various strange flowers and plants, and rare treasures, but also intervened in the affairs of local prefectures. Many local prefecture officials were their followers and promoted them.
Just like Er Laizi, Li Sanjian was the county magistrate of Fuqing County, Fuzhou, Fujian Road. They didn't know that they didn't need to solicit Li Sanjian's opinions at all, and they didn't need Li Sanjian's permission to directly remove the former magistrate of Fuqing County and promoted his confidant to the position of Fuqing County.
The imperial court has its own system of granting officials, but Cai Jing, Zhu Jie and others granted official positions to each other, just like their own family.
Although Cai Jing was in the court and the country at this time, it was ultimately due to Zhao Ji's indulgence and tacit approval, and Li Sanjian was extremely sober about this.
What can Li Sanjian do with the support of the emperor? He is completely helpless and powerless.
At this time, Li Sanjian was like a pot repairer, constantly repairing the broken pot of Da Song, but they kept smashing the pot. The speed of repairing the pot was never as fast as the speed of smashing the pot.
"Zhu Ruming!" Li Sanjian couldn't control his anger, pointed to the Mazu Stone, and pointed to the people, and said angrily: "Mazu Stone is planted by the spiritual energy of the earth, and is born and produced by Yin and Yang. It is the food and clothing of ordinary people, and it is their livelihood. But he actually wanted to force it to take it. How can you bear it if you force the food of the people?"
The four words "How can you bear it" by Li Sanjian's voice is extremely loud and it is clearly transmitted into the ears of everyone present.
The people present burst into tears when they heard this, and many of them were sobbing in a low voice.
At this time, there are not many people who can speak for the people, and they are already rare. The rest of the officials are sucking bones and sucking marrow, hoping to squeeze out the last drop of oil and water for the people.
Wouldn't the people be moved when they heard Li Sanjian talking for them?
"All the kings under the world are the kings, and the kings are the kings and ministers." Zhu Ruming introduced his theory after hearing this, and said indifferently, "Their food and clothing are all given by Your Majesty. Is it too much for Your Majesty to work hard on national affairs day and night, and ask for a stone? Your Majesty's fancy to this stone is a blessing for the people of Shizhushan and a great honor for Fuzhou. They should kowtow and thank them and offer them with both hands. We are ordered by the emperor to be loyal to the emperor and should relieve our worries."
"Haha!" Zhu Ruming's fallacy made Li Sanjian laugh and said, "The people are the foundation of the country. The money is the basis of safety and danger. Everyone in the world knows this principle. Does Your Majesty know? Under the order of the emperor? Can you take Shengyu and take it to me to see what you want?"
"I...this..." Zhu Ruming was speechless when he heard this.
Li Sanjian's estimation was right. Zhu Ruming and others had a fart imperial edict. The matter of Hua Shigang must have been acquiesced and indulged by Zhao Ji. This is certain, but there is no clear text, at most an oral edict is there. How could Zhao Ji issue an explicit edict in such a thing? If this is the case, wouldn't it leave a verbal edict for the people of the world?
