Chapter 514 Jia Zhongmin: Bianjing City can grow gold on its own! (Happy New Year)

"I just fulfilled my duty faithfully, I don't dare to praise His Majesty!" Jia Zhongmin firmly remembered the story of Song Shouyue and shaped himself into the image of Song Shouyue.

Zhao Xu chuckled lightly and said: "You are loyal to the king, and I will not begrudge you the rewards of official titles."

"In regard to the intrusion into the street, you must continue to work hard to live up to the hope of me and the two palaces, so that the people of Bianjing will no longer have to worry about travel congestion!"

Since March, with the support of Li Shiliang and the acquiescence of Cai Jing, Jia Zhongmin has selected dozens of officials from Kaifeng Mansion who are willing to do things and are not afraid of trouble.

Then he took to the streets with sticks.

Anyone who invades the street will be demolished. Anyone who dares to resist will be arrested and sent to Kaifeng Prefecture for punishment.

Even the cars and horses on the road were under his control.

Whoever dares to block traffic will be beaten.

After more than two months, Bianjing’s traffic has taken on a completely new look.

When he arrived at the Zhenmiao Temple, his responsibilities were expanded and he became an organization in charge of transportation and road repair in Bianjing, as well as the maintenance of road safety, sanitation and order when the emperor, concubines, and ministers traveled.

This organization has basically played no role since the first year of Renmiaobao.

This is also the flexibility of the Song Dynasty system.

There are two permanent officials, each commanding 500 people in the imperial army.

Not to mention the emperor, even the local magistrates and magistrates could appoint officials according to specific circumstances.

Immediately he kowtowed and said, "I thank Your Majesty for your kindness. I will dedicate my whole life to repay His Majesty's favor!"

It not only manages the appearance of the city, but also manages urban sanitation and transportation.

Because even though it's useless, it doesn't do anything.

Now, he, Jia Zhongmin, has become the first civil servant to promote the street department since the founding of the country.

When Jia Zhongmin was seconded to Kaifeng Prefecture as a member of the driving department, he exercised the power of the Street Department in the name of Street Patrol Ambassador.

It's better to continue to let the street secretary do it.

As a member of the Jia Chang Dynasty, Jia Zhongmin grew up in a family of officials. He has heard about the evils of officialdom since he was a child.

The Street Department was an organization established during the Taizong era.

Naturally, he knew very well the significance of this matter.

Generally, they are served by military ambassadors or three small envoys.

At least the street department can occasionally take care of the appearance of the city and repair the roads to avoid potholes.

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Street Department has basically become a place where ministers and ministers lie down and drink tea.

Therefore, Jiayou later resettled the Street Department and still let him be in charge of road construction in Bianjing and responsible for watering, guiding and drainage work in and out of the city.

Jia Zhongmin was moved and bowed to the inspector again: "I should die a hundred times to thank Your Majesty!"

Every year, I only get busy during the Emperor's Suburban Festival or when I go to Daxiangguo Temple, Xingguo Temple and other royal temples to offer incense.

Therefore, the street department has always been promoted by military ministers.

Therefore, he was dismissed for a time.

Initially, he was in charge of road safety and cleaning work for the emperor and his concubines.

But soon, the government and the opposition discovered that the Street Department was really indispensable.

In the event of a major incident, you can also apply to the capital water supervision department in charge to mobilize the troops under the jurisdiction of the capital water supervision department.

However, when the emperor, concubines, and important ministers travel, the work of the Street Department is indispensable.

Naturally, he imitated the existing officials in Kaifeng Prefecture who recorded military affairs and criminal affairs.

however……

Now, Zhao Xu plans to clear his name directly.

Just for this reason, Jia Zhongmin's reputation among scholars is much better.

"Yes!" Zhao Xu nodded and said: "I intend to formally separate the Street Department from the Capital Water Supervision and subordinate it to the Kaifeng Mansion. In order to promote the direct administration of public affairs on the inner and outer roads in Bianjing!"

Li Shiliang once served as the Water Supervisor of Zhidu, so after Zhao Xu established the "Promoting Bianjing Inner and Outer Road Officials", he proposed to let him also take charge of the street department.

Moreover, it is the private land of nobles and nobles!

The Street Department should be separated from the Capital Water Supervision Bureau and made directly like the modern Urban Management Bureau, Transportation Bureau, and Environmental Sanitation Bureau, becoming an agency affiliated with Kaifeng Prefecture.

Jia Zhongmin was extremely excited as he listened.

The street department has always been promoted by military officials.

During the Renmiao period, its powers were further expanded and it became an agency similar to the modern Urban Management Bureau, Transportation Bureau, and Environmental Sanitation Bureau.

"Please prepare yourself to be the first official of Tiju Subdistrict Department, and take on the post of street official in Tiju Bianjing inner and outer roads!"

As for the recording street?

Apart from that, if the street department can’t do the watering work, then another watering department will have to be set up to handle it.

However, it is easy to set up but difficult to dismantle, which becomes the source of redundant staff.

Because this is for the benefit of future generations.

From now on, there will be one more carrot pit for civil servants. In the Song Dynasty, when officials were seriously redundant, it was really a matter of thousands of families to have Buddhas.

Moreover, this matter is of great significance to him personally.

The yamen responsible for promoting official affairs inside and outside Bianjing was originally recognized as the top yamen by both the government and the public.

The emperor personally presided over it and the Kaifeng Mansion personally led it. The people inside were not the emperor's close ministers, but the banquet officials were the emperor's companions.

One by one, they are all chosen as the future rulers of the country.

Now he has squeezed in and has a status.

Even if it is just a trivial so-called 'recording street'.

But this is officially compiled!

Moreover, it is the establishment of the emperor's close ministers.

The status can be equated to joining the army in the late emperor's bureau.

When the late emperor was King Ying, who were the people who joined the army in his office?

Now the person who is the worst off has become the Minister of Rites - Sun Jue.

As for mixing well?

Han Jiang, the left prime minister of the DPRK!

Just thinking about these examples, Jia Zhongmin's heart surged and he couldn't control himself.

The Jia family has been in decline since the reign of great-uncle Jia Chang.

Jia Zhongmin remembers it very clearly.

Last year, Yan Jidao was ordered to return to the court and was specially selected by the emperor.

Just such a broken settlement.

But when he went up with good intentions and wanted to get acquainted.

Yan Jidao looked at him suspiciously, asking: Who is your honor? Do I know him? look.

Finally, she reluctantly recognized him as a so-called 'family friend', had a few drinks with him, and said goodbye in a hurry. (Chapter 99, the plot of Yan Jidao's return to Beijing).

It was so embarrassing to ask him to have a hot face against a cold butt.

This made Jia Zhongmin deeply ashamed.

He vowed then that he would never let something like that happen again.

He wants to be prosperous, to be an official, to be a high official!

Let those who look down on him look up to him!

So, he stood up and bowed again, his whole body full of strength.

At this time, Zhao Xu handed a booklet to Feng Jing and said, "Give this book to Jia Qing."

"promise!"

Feng Jing took the booklet and sent it to Jia Zhongmin.

Jia Zhongmin took the pamphlet and was suspicious for a moment, then thought about it.

After my good friend Lu Jiawen went south to Guangxi, he seemed to brag about it in his letter to him - I was given a manual and command by an official to manage Guangxi.

At that time, Jia Zhongmin felt that Lu Jiawen was bragging and trying to gain respect.

You must be exiled!

The edict is clear and clear - Lu Jia, an official, asked, "You used your shoddy and unskilled learning to make officials who fear power and reward you treat innocent people. The people complained of illness and became wary after hearing it... I will only forgive you. If you don’t want to go into details, I moved to Guangxi to control the people outside the country. I handed over the old land of the state and owned it in the Han and Tang Dynasties to make the people safe for you. I will make you safe. Yes! The pacifying envoy of Youjiang in Yongzhou!

The meaning is very simple.

I have found out clearly that you are ignorant and have no skills, and you are causing harm to the country and the people.

For the sake of the late emperor and your ancestors, I will let you go and go to Guangxi to make meritorious deeds.

That sentence: To make the people safe for you, I will keep you safe, and even more threatening to Laman - if you don't correct yourself and harm the people again, I will never tolerate it!

As a result, Lu Jiawen turned around and told him that the officials had given him a manual and asked him to act according to it.

What is this if not to show respect?

however……

Jia Zhongmin looked at the manual that was delivered to his hand, his head buzzing.

Lu Jia asked if he lied to him? !

Is there really a royal manual for command?

How can it be! ?

But if you think about it carefully, it’s very possible!

Because Zhao officials like micro-management. All the emperors of the past dynasties loved this dish.

It's just that the former emperors liked to be micro-managed in military matters.

Are you starting to micro-manage general affairs now?

Jia Zhongmin recalled that Lu Jia asked about the content of the letter to him, but did not mention the details of the imperial command.

But Lu Jia seemed very excited when he asked questions?

It seems that you have found the second spring in your life?

At that time, Jia Zhongmin thought that Lu Jiawen was just bragging and trying to win respect, so he didn't take it to heart.

just now……

"If Lu Wangzhi (Cousin of Lu Jiawen) hadn't lied to me..."

Jia Zhongmin looked at the book bound with Ouchi Yuanshu paper in his hand.

"I'm afraid the things in this booklet contain something incredible!"

He thought about it seriously.

Then suddenly I remembered something amazing.

It seems that since April, the voices criticizing Lu Jiawen in the court have suddenly disappeared by 70%.

It is even said that some people in the palace are saying good things about Lu Jia's question.

For example, the Gao family...

Originally, Jia Zhongmin didn't take it to heart and just thought that Lu Jiawen was lucky enough to have climbed onto Gao Zunhui's high tree.

Looking at it now, maybe it wasn't Lu Jiawen who got into Gao Zunhui at all.

But Gao Zunhui, Lu Jiawen and even Zhang Dun have all become a group under the command of officials.

Are there really any treasures in that remote area of ​​Guangxi?

Is it really like what the Bianjing Newspaper said - there is gold everywhere, and you can make a fortune just by picking it up?

How can it be!

If this is the case, why didn’t Jiaozhou in the Han and Tang dynasties suddenly become rich?

unless……

Today's official family...

This young master who came to court at the age of ten and already had "all the laws and regulations, praised by the government and the public, and the whole world, who is worthy of being a pilgrim," was able to turn stones into gold.

Let the remote mountains and remote areas grow gold on their own.

With such doubts in mind, Jia Zhongmin returned home in confusion, holding the book given by the emperor tightly in his arms.

Along the way, he was in a trance, wandering around.

He kept thinking about these things in his mind, and kept recalling the news and legends he could know.

He was still confused until he returned home.

His wife and children came out to greet him, but he was absent-minded and looked like his soul was outside.

This made his family anxious.

They hurriedly welcomed him into the inner house, and then his wife Li asked eagerly: "My lord, how do you feel about meeting the Holy Spirit today?"

"Have the officials ever lowered their moral standards?"

This is the ecology of the Jia family - the whole family is obsessed with officialdom.

A problem passed down by brothers Jia Changchao and Jia Changheng.

The whole family wants to make progress!

However, the pit left by our ancestors was too big and our reputation was too bad.

Therefore, even though the Jia family bet on the old and new parties respectively, they were not welcomed by both the old and new parties.

Every time the two sides fight, one of the Jia family members is always injured and becomes cannon fodder.

After more than ten years, the once prosperous Jia family is now the only one left in the officialdom of Bianjing, Jia Zhongmin.

This was because Jia Zhongmin was lucky and followed the right person - Jia Zhongmin, who had always been hanging out with Zhang Dun.

Zhang Dun was very loyal and took action many times to save him.

But now, Zhang Dun has gone south and may not be able to return to the court in the short term.

Jia Zhongmin, the only child of the Jia family, could be besieged and demoted from the capital at any time.

Naturally, the whole family is very concerned about the outcome of this interview.

Therefore, in Jia Zhongmin's yard, not only his wife and children are here now.

Even other tribesmen in Beijing came to care.

It’s okay not to care - if Jia Zhongmin is demoted again, then these people will not be able to stay in Bianjing, and they will have to go back to their hometowns to study and go to their fellow townsmen.

Although the imperial examinations in my hometown were not as good as those in Jiangxi and Fujian.

But it’s not an easy test either.

It’s also thousands of troops crossing the single-plank bridge!

Unlike Kaifeng Mansion, which directly built a stone bridge for carriages!

Jia Zhongmin raised his head and suddenly saw the people surrounding him.

He finally found his soul and frowned: "What are you doing here?"

"Why don't you go back to study quickly!"

After he said this, the descendants of the tribe angrily handed over their hands and confessed.

After sending away these idle people, Jia Zhongmin looked at the concerned expressions of his wife and children, and then said seriously: "Today's officials value talents, know people and make good use of them..."

"I was personally selected by the officials and used as a driving minister and a front-line official. I am grateful!"

My wife and children are very happy!

This is a promotion!

Jia Zhongmin clutched the booklet on his chest tightly, let out a long breath, and said proudly: "I have been trusted by the officials, and I have been used as the official secretary of the inner and outer roads of Bianjing, and also as the official secretary. Raise the street secretary!"

The wife was immediately overjoyed, and the children also cheered.

"Stay there!" Jia Zhongmin quickly reminded them: "You should keep a low profile, keep a low profile, and don't cause trouble!"

“The edict hasn’t come out yet!!”

There are also three hurdles to pass: Dutang Zaizhi, Zhongshu Sheren, and Guishizhong!

Although it is unlikely that the governor of the capital, the minister of the book, and the minister will reject the personnel arrangements made by the emperor himself under the current situation - not to mention, the affairs of Kaifeng Mansion are handled by the emperor himself.

But what if?

The reputation of the Jia family was already very bad, and Jia Zhongmin was not much better.

Celebrate now, what if you are targeted?

You still have to keep a low profile!

"No!" The wives and children immediately restrained themselves, and they also understood the importance.

That night, Jia Zhongmin locked himself in the study room, carefully reading and savoring the contents of the imperial booklet word by word.

The more he watched, the more excited he became, and the more he watched, the more daring he became to move.

He even had a thought: My encounter with an official is like Zhuge Wuhou's encounter with Zhao Lie!

why?

Everything above was written deep in his heart.

Moreover, many things were like the sun, shining in his heart, giving him the sudden thought: This is okay.

Jia Zhongmin knows that this is feasible.

Moreover, because it is the emperor who directs him to do things.

and so……

Everything can be done and everything can be done!

No need to be afraid of resistance, no need to worry about someone causing trouble!

I obey the emperor's orders and there are no taboos!

Even if there is a small obstruction, you can still trample on it! Crush it!

Besides, the booklet gave him a hint.

Relatives and ministers from Bianjing will cooperate with his work.

The doors of convenience will be opened to the homes of the Gao family, Xiang family, Yang family, Liu family, Wang family, Guo family, as well as the palace commanders and military officers.

These relatives, nobles and top military ministers all supported him.

The remaining people are just cats and dogs.

Anyone who blocks it is like a mantis trying to act like a chariot and not overestimating his own capabilities.

"It's all political achievements!" Jia Zhongmin just wants to take office tomorrow and let the people of Bianjing see how powerful he is!

"Can an official turn stone into gold?" Jia Zhongmin finished reading his pamphlet, put it away, and hid it close to his chest, planning not to let it leave his body day and night from now on.

This is the holy book of progress!

As long as you act according to the instructions, political performance is not a problem!

and so……

“Can Guangxi still grow gold on its own?”

Thinking about it carefully, Jia Zhongmin felt that it was very possible.

Because the commands given to him by the officials were quite capable of making Bianjing itself grow gold, and then others would have to thank the court.

So, Jia Zhongmin is very curious now.

How do you grow gold on your own in that remote mountainous area of ​​Guangxi, where the mountain road has eighteen bends?

"Xianggong Zhang returns to the court, I have to go and ask..."

If gold can really grow in Guangxi, then he will have to make arrangements, make preparations, and move a few tribesmen to seize the carrot pit in advance before the world is aware of it.
