Great Song Super Scholar

Chapter 324 Formal Debriefing

After drinking a few glasses of wine, Fan Ning asked, "Is the Zhu family in a hurry?"

"Zhu's family doesn't have a dedicated jig, but Wang Ji, the third largest in the capital, has three members of me. Why do you ask this?"

"I came back this time and brought hundreds of family letters from officials and the army. In addition, today the officials rewarded me with 500 taels of gold and [-] bolts of colorful satin. I want to distribute them and deliver them together in a hurry."

Zhu Yuanfeng nodded, "Keep the gold for yourself. It's not easy to deliver it in a hurry, but the colored satin is fine. Give me the letter and the colored satin later, and I'll arrange for someone to distribute it for you."

Fan Ning took out a jade token, "The things are still in the inner storage, use this jade token to claim them."

"Give it to me! I am very familiar with the stewards of the inner library,"

Fan Ning handed the jade card to Zhu Yuanfeng, Zhu Yuanfeng accepted the jade card and said with a smile: "Don't worry, take it easy, I found that you are much more silent than two years ago, of course, people have to become mature, but I still like the two. You from years ago."

Fan Ning fiddled with the wine glass and said with a faint smile, "I disappointed the third grandfather."

"You didn't let me down. In fact, you brought me the happiest thing in decades."

Fan Ning looked at Zhu Yuanfeng in surprise, not understanding what he meant by this sentence?
Zhu Yuanfeng raised his wine glass, stared at the wine in the glass and said: "The person I hate the most since childhood is Zhu Yuanjun, my second elder brother, who bullied me since childhood and despised me from the bottom of his heart. It can be said that my mother died indirectly at his hands."

Speaking of this, Zhu Yuanfeng's eyes flashed with hatred, "That year my mother had a difficult labor and urgently asked for help from the doctor, but my father was not there, so he pretended to be ill too. Shi Chen, but when the doctor came to rescue my mother, she was already powerless. Why? It’s because my mother was born as a maid, and in their eyes, she is a lowly person, not worthy of the Zhu family’s glory and wealth.”

Fan Ning pressed Zhu Yuanfeng's hand, "Third Grandpa, stop talking!"

"No! You asked me to say, I want to say what I have been pressing in my heart for decades."

Zhu Yuanfeng drank the wine in the glass and continued: "Although he was forced to admit his mistake afterwards, weeping and kowtow in front of my mother's grave, begging my father for forgiveness, but it is of no use. My mother has passed away. I think it is brother after all. , I also wanted to forgive him, but soon I found out that I was wrong, he just pretended to regret it.

After my mother passed away, he bullied me even harder and even bought me to kill me. If my elder brother didn't protect me in time, I'm afraid I would have died long ago. "

"I've heard from Zhu Pei that he's always been arrogant and selfish, but he won't pay to kill his younger brother!" Fan Ning said incredulously.

Zhu Yuanfeng shook his head, "Then you underestimate him. He is not just arrogant, but cruel. Because of my existence, he wants to divide his property. He has always hated me for ten years. He told me before that if it wasn't for my existence, Zhu's restaurant, fleet, warehouse and various businesses would all be his, and he hated me to the bone from the day I was born."

"But... what does this have to do with me?" Fanning asked with a puzzled expression.

"Forget it, I don't want to mention the past."

Zhu Yuanfeng smiled, looked at Fan Ning and said, "Because of your marriage with A Pei, Zhu Yuanjun has broken with my elder brother, and the Zhu family will be completely divided into two."

"What?" Fanning was taken aback.

"Don't be surprised, this is the inevitable result. Zhu Yuanjun is determined to hug Liu Yun's thigh and promise Pei'er to Liu Ran, but my elder brother will never agree. Even without you, they will sooner or later because of this matter. Flip."

Fan Ning was silent. This was the first time he had heard of such human tragedies as brother breakup and family division, which turned into the biggest joyous event in decades for Zhu Yuanfeng.

Zhu Yuanfeng filled another glass of wine and said with a smile, "Come on! Let's have another glass. I wish you success in your job report tomorrow."

Not every state official will be required to report on their duties. In fact, most state officials do not have this treatment. Only when there is a major situation in the local area, Zhizheng Tang feels that it is necessary to listen to the report of the local state official before notifying the state official. If you come to report on your work, or a certain state official is about to get an important promotion, you will also be notified to report to the court.

On a certain level, state officials' debriefing is actually a kind of exam, and the results of the exam are unpredictable, but in any case, getting a chance to express themselves in front of the prime ministers will still make most state officials feel envious.

Fan Ning's work report was arranged in the side hall of Ziwei Hall, presided over by Xiangguo Wen Yanbo. The work report was not taken literally, and it was not a long-winded elaboration by the report. Asking questions is a bit like a college student's graduation defense.

Generally, the debriefing takes about half a day. Basically, each prime minister will have a few questions. If the emperor is not present, the pressure will be a little less, but this time Fan Ning's debriefing, the emperor will also participate, so the pressure can be imagined.

Just after noon, Fan Ning was led into the side hall of Ziwei Hall by an official. The emperor's imperial study is behind the side hall, and some important military and state affairs discussions are also held here.

The five prime ministers had already taken their seats, right prime minister Wen Yanbo, left prime minister Fu Bi, two deputy prime ministers Cheng Lin and Wang Yaochen, as well as university scholar Gao Ruona and privy minister Han Qi.

Fan Ning stepped forward and saluted, "Vice Envoy of Overseas Economic Strategy, Supervision Censor, Secretary and Young Superintendent, and Fan Ningte, Zhikun State Affairs, came to report on his duties."

"Fan Zhizhou, please sit down!"

Generally, everyone calls Fan Ning Fan Shijun, which is the honorific title of his deputy economic envoy, but today's report is conducted in the capacity of knowing the affairs of Kunzhou, so Wen Yanbo called him Fan Zhizhou. The occasion is never meticulous.

Before Fan Ning could sit down, an eunuch shouted, "Your Majesty is here!"

Everyone got up one after another, and the emperor Zhao Zhen walked in from the back side, he waved his hands and smiled: "My dear friends, please sit down!"

Everyone sat down again, Zhao Zhen also sat down on the dragon couch behind, he smiled slightly and said: "Today is Fan Zhizhou's work report, it's the Zhizheng Hall's business, I'm just listening in, not taking part in asking questions, dear friends, let's start! "

Wen Yanbo coughed lightly, and slowly said to Fan Ning who was sitting in the main hall: "The important status of Kunzhou is related to the success or failure of the Song Dynasty's overseas expansion. It has been two years since the establishment of the state. Zhizhengtang believes that it is necessary to understand Kunzhou Because of the specific situation, Fan Ning, the magistrate of the state, was specially summoned to return to Beijing to report on his work."

After the opening remarks, Wen Yanbo laughed again: "Fan Zhizhou has already handed in the work report, and the work report is more than half done. Today is mainly about the unclear points in the work report. The ministers asked some questions. Please don't be nervous, Fan Zhizhou, just take it easy answer."

It seems easy to say, but everyone knows that this is the real debriefing. If you can't pass the doubts of today's prime ministers, you will have a very difficult life in the future.

Wen Yanbo glanced at the crowd and asked with a smile, "Which one will start first?"

Generally speaking, the first person who asks is the weathervane, which is related to the atmosphere of the whole debriefing, so the first person is very important.

Fu Bi raised his hand and smiled, "Then let me ask first!"

Fu Bi and Fan Zhongyan have a very good relationship. Although he has always been upright and selfless, as long as he is a human being, he will have emotions. He will take care of Fan Ning a little bit. If he didn't deliberately make things difficult for Fan Ning, then the other Xiangguo would not go too far .

So he took the initiative to open his mouth to start a shot. Wen Yanbo nodded expressionlessly and said, "Then start with Fu Xiangguo!"

Fu Bi flipped through the work report and said with a smile: "I'm very interested in land distribution. According to the report, in addition to granting two hectares of land to each resettler, every man over the age of 14 can get 14 mu of vegetable fields. The women mentioned above can get [-] mu of mulberry and hemp fields, and the property rights belong to themselves, and they are allowed to sell. I want to know why Kunzhou grants additional land outside the imperial court regulations?"

These prime ministers are all good people, and they can grasp the key questions to ask. Fu Bi's question is very sharp, and he is questioning why Fan Ning granted additional land without the permission of the court.

Now that Fanning made this point in his report, he was prepared to be questioned.

Fan Ning said in a calm manner: "Qi Fu Xianggong, the imperial court has stipulated that under special circumstances, the government of each state can dispose of the official land at its own discretion, and can lease, sell, or grant it to refugees and immigrants. Kunzhou is far overseas and cannot Asking the imperial court for instructions in a timely manner should be a special case, so Beizhi believes that the land granting in Kunzhou did not violate this regulation."

Fu Bi smiled and said: "My question is actually divided into two points. One is what is the basis for Fan Zhizhou's granting land? The second is why additional land is granted? You answered the first one just now, and I can agree that Kunzhou grants additional land. The field is indeed not against the regulations, but I hope you can answer the second point again, why should additional land be granted? Is two hectares of land not enough for immigrants? "
