The Happy Life of Small Officials in Northern Song Dynasty

That night, Su Jin racked his brains to write a memorial. In the memorial, in addition to Li Zhihe's case, he also wrote some of his own opinions on the construction of Weizhou's frontier defense city. The more important point is: dignitaries. (none., popup window....one,

Su Jin now urgently feels the lack of manpower around him. It is difficult for Wang Chao, Ma Han and others to take on major positions. They have more than enough thugs and are loyal. But when it comes to the construction of Weizhou City in the future, none of these people can take up big positions. The general judge and several office managers were taken down together, and the positions of chief officials in many departments were left vacant. Su Jin only temporarily designated his deputy to take the place, but it was not a solution after all.

If the imperial court appointed him, Su Jin was afraid that the person who came would not be able to urinate in the same pot as himself, so Su Jin called out the names of the people in the memorial and asked them to come.

The first one he wanted was Li Chong. In Tianchang, Su Jin had seen him lead people to build canals and build roads to make the little Tianchang prosperous. This big black man was careless and careful, and more importantly He is very close to himself, and working together is a joy in life, so Su Jin asked him to come to Weizhou as a general judge by name.

In addition, he also asked Wei Songhe, who is now the county magistrate in a small southern county, and Yangzhou to deploy Pan Jiang as the commander. It is suggested that Pan Jiang be transferred to replace Ge Huaimin, so the case involves Ge Huaimin after all. Although I have said a lot of good things for Ge Huaimin, the death penalty is inevitable, the punishment is certain, and the worst is demotion. Of course, I don't want to have another thorn in my face.

Su Jin has the right to appoint the rest of the officials, but Su Jin still needs to observe. The existing staff are not familiar with it. It is best for the imperial court to send someone. According to the performance of the interim deputies, it is enough to straighten them up. After all, they are not some earth-shattering roles. If they are in command, if their words and deeds cheat, they can be replaced immediately.

Regarding the construction of Weizhou City, Su Jin also wrote very detailed, talking about planning, construction, and post-war reconstruction, closely related to one theme, which is to tell Zhao Zhen that he is determined to use Weizhou as a model, and he will do his best after the war. Let the Northwest quickly get rid of the appearance of relying on the relief of the court. I believe this will definitely catch Zhao Zhen's attention. The Northwest Fourth Road has now become the biggest burden of the court. Millions of people need relief, and the relief food spent in the Northwest every year is countless. With a million stones and millions of guan in money, if Su Jin can find a way to be self-sufficient, Zhao Zhen would naturally be happy to see it.

Su Jin also knew that the war was not over yet, but he talked a lot about the construction after the war. He seemed to believe that the war was coming to an end and that the Song and Xia countries would talk about peace. It is to show his forward vision. After all, in Su Jin's memory, the war in Song Xia is about to end. If it is true that his time travel has changed the true face of history, Su Jin can only admit that he is unlucky, but in the long run, There is no endless war. Even if it lasts for ten or twenty years, it will end eventually, and it is not difficult to prevaricate.

After the ten-thousand-character memorial was written, Su Jin wrote two more letters. One was to Yan Shu, and he reported the situation in the northwest to him in detail. After saying some polite words, he asked for money and food. .

Originally, Su Jin got a lot of money from Li Zhi and them this time. This group of people is very rich. Although part of the property was transferred to other places by them, the nearly 60 yuan of money left in Weizhou alone It was enough to make Su Jin feel that his work was not in vain this time; but Su Jin would never take out this kind of money, it was considered hard money.

But the 10,000+ people in Weizhou want to eat with their mouths open, and they have to start labor again, and promise to give wages. The money will naturally be paid by the third department. Of course, the most important thing is food. Food must not be cut off, otherwise No matter how powerful he is, he can't hold on to the situation, so Su Jin had to beg Yan Shu, the third envoy, for the first time, hoping that he would open the back door and give more money and food distribution in Weizhou, so that he could operate in Weizhou .

The other letter was written to Yan Biyun's family. Apart from declaring her safety, she also apologized to Yan Biyun. Yan Biyun was pregnant and came out soon after the wedding. The girl said hello, said hello to her mother, and promised to return to the capital once she was free from business.

Early the next morning, Wang Chao led a hundred horsemen to escort Li Zhihe and other seven or eight prisoners on their way back to the capital. Su Jin sent Wang Chao ten miles out of the city. Open, the gates of the city are bustling with people, all carrying axes and saws, and some carrying small baskets, all heading towards Longshan in the west.

Su Jin knew that it was the people who went to Longshan to cut wood and get stones, but Su Jin was depressed, did these people plan to bring back the wood and stones empty-handed?It will be exhausting to carry the road for dozens of miles completely by manpower, and the efficiency will be extremely low.

Su Jin hurriedly ordered someone to find the official in charge of this matter to hear the news. The official said aggrievedly: "The animals, mules and horses in the city have been slaughtered and eaten long ago. How can there be animals pulling carts? Besides, going to Longshan is full of rice paddies. The trail is not open to cars, so there is no way to drive it back, so we can only rely on manpower to carry it back."

Su Jin was stunned. Originally, he planned to take out the hundreds of Xixia war horses that he snatched from Fan Zhongyan last time as livestock for pulling the cart. With the addition of human power, the speed of pushing and pulling would definitely be very fast, but he didn't expect that it would be very fast to go here to Longshan.

Damn, the infrastructure is really backward, how to attract foreign investment?Su Jin scolded to the ground, if it was all carried and transported, even tens of thousands of civilians would not be able to get much back in a day, how to deal with the huge construction needs?

Su Jin stomped his feet anxiously, standing at the gate of the city, thinking hard, and suddenly saw a child playing with a small boat made of leaves by the stinking ditch. Where does it flow after melting and pooling?"

The official said: "Snow water melts and gathers at the foot of the mountain to form the Luanshui River, which runs for dozens of miles and joins the Weishui River in the south. It is a tributary of the Weishui River."

Su Jin said: "How is the water potential?"

The official said: "Sometimes more, sometimes less. The depth is one or two feet during the flood season, and it is only two feet deep when it is dry."

Su Jin thought about it: "It's midsummer at this time, and the snow on the top of the mountain melts very quickly. The water level should not be very low. Since the Longshui River flows down the mountain, why not use the ready-made help?"

The official said: "Your Excellency, you mean...with the help of water power?"

Su Jin said: "That's right, all the cut trees were transported to the nearby Longshui River, and then floated on the water and flowed down the river. Wouldn't it save trouble and effort for us to send people to salvage and transport them back in the downstream river?"

The official clapped his hands and said, "That's right, Mr. Su's method is brilliant."

But suddenly his face became sad again and he said: "But my lord, this matter is quite troublesome."

Su Jin said: "What?"

"The Longshui River doesn't pass through our Weizhou City, and the flooded wood is even heavier. It takes more manpower to lift it back than to lift it directly from the mountain. Isn't that the same?"

Su Jin said: "How far is the nearest river from the city?"

The official said: "Twenty miles to the south."

"Is there a road connecting them?"

"That's true, the official road is direct."

Su Jin smiled and said: "Then it's over? I'll allocate four hundred horses to you, and you can arrange manpower to transport one or two hundred carts back and forth. Isn't that the solution?"

The official was overjoyed and said: "Everything will be fine with the carts pulled by animals! That's right, you can fill the basket with stones, tie simple wooden rafts on top and float down the current, and save the time to carry the stones back. This way, the speed will be faster." More than a few times."

Su Jin smiled and said: "You have a quick mind, so how much wood can you transport back in a day? How much stone can you transport?"

The official said: "According to my lord's method, the more than ten thousand civilians I sent up the mountain can cut at least five thousand pieces of wood a day. The stone depends on the progress of the mountain. It's hard to say."

Su Jin said: "Okay, I want you to bring back at least [-] pieces of wood and [-] baskets of stones every day. It's not difficult."

The official patted his chest and said: "This matter is covered by the humble official, if it is not done well, the lord will kill me."

Su Jin said: "If it's not done well, I won't cut you off, but I will remove your official position and let you go to cut wood and get rocks with everyone; if it's done well, you are now the temporary deputy of the warehouse secretary, and I will let you directly Kuraji, how about rewarding you for your hard work?"

The official knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you for your cultivation, I will do my best in this humble position."

Su Jin smiled and said, "It's all up to you. The opportunity is given to you. It's up to you if you catch it or not. What's your name?"

The official rolled his eyes, and for a long time, he didn't even have a name in the eyes of the magistrate, so he reported his name, Su Jin kept it in his heart, and asked him to arrange dispatch immediately.
