Section 203 is pleasant
Didn't the prisoner in prison run away and die in the national disaster....... It's a forced induction into the army, and the cell is empty anyway.
In the aftermath of the disaster, newly caught criminals, who committed serious crimes and were very dangerous, were immediately cut down. The society was chaotic, the road was unstable, and the local government could not report to the imperial court for approval normally. In troubled times, it is necessary to use heavy rituals, and not wait for the autumn decision, and immediately kill the people who are not wanted to deter pirates and refuse to settle down, and it is the best policy to re-establish the majesty of the government. Lesser and less dangerous felons were immediately sent to the mines to be used as coolies for death. Generally, those who can control the use of them are immediately distributed to the government-related households as tenants or something, in the name of waste utilization, respecting the reality of the situation, flexibly enforcing the law, and allowing criminals to be reformed through labor with hard labor...... In short, the prison has become a place for temporary detention of criminals, and at most those arrested are removed after they settle down, and too many will not even stay in prison for the night, and the trial is concluded and sent on the same day...... The criminals are very scrambled, especially just in time for the autumn harvest, especially when there are too many ownerless crops, whoever robs the harvest is whoever, how can the related households who have also become poor ghosts not be red-eyed.......
As for the criminals who were sent from other places, they were also dealt with in the same way, either to be miners or to be loaned to related households as coolies...... The point is that no one has been dispatched after the disaster. Song Jiang is very likely to be the first person sentenced by the Song Dynasty to serve a prison sentence after the disaster, and it is certain that he is definitely the only person who can reach the distribution place alive at this time.
This makes the people who eat the oil and water in the prison, including Dai Zong, miserable, and if they can't pinch the criminals, naturally no one is willing to give gifts to them.......
Dai Zong's gang only made money alone, and after the disaster, the imperial court was financially embarrassed, and the money was greatly reduced, Dai Quan said that they were running a hotel, but they all had nothing to do, and they had to raise a few gang buddies shop Xiaoer, the sadness of this day can be imagined, that is, after the disaster, the Great Song Dynasty lacked everything, that is, there was no shortage of food, and it was extremely cheap, so that they would not starve without money. Now, Song Jiang is here....... That's great.
Song Jiang could also see the embarrassment and expectation of Dai Zong and his gang at a glance.
He had more confidence in his heart, and in the eyes of everyone, he generously took out 500 yuan on the spot, saying that he and Wang Si would eat and drink here for a long time in the future, and they had to eat and drink well, so they would inevitably bother more, and Dai Zong and his gang had to accept the money to buy wine and food on their behalf....... gave Dai Zong and his gang a decent step to collect money. Dai Zong couldn't refuse, and "reluctantly" accepted it, and his heart and brothers were happy...... Five hundred guan, that is, five hundred taels of silver before, even before the national disaster, this is a huge amount of money, so Song Jiang gave it casually....... Timely rain is really timely rain., it's really generous....... Since then, I have served and recognized Song Jiang, the eldest brother.
Song Jiang did not report to the government immediately, because the boat came quickly, and he arrived earlier than the government's expected arrival time, so he could wait a few days calmly.
During this period, Song Jiang's life was naturally very comfortable and chic, and he was very old man in Dai Zong, who was served and sought after by Yin Yin, strengthened his friendship with Dai Zong, and also asked Ma Ying about this person and the matter of the army.
As soon as Dai Zong heard Ma Ying, he pouted: "That's purely a sinister villain, it's not worth befriending......"
Song Jiang laughed when he heard this, and further determined that although Dai Zong was not a good person, he was a brother who was righteous and trustworthy, so Dai Zong didn't look down on a dirty official like Ma Ying, not just to covet his money and want to get more from him.
After understanding that the passage was indeed dangerous, Song Jiang smiled and said: "It doesn't matter what Ma Ying's character is, if you are willing to do things, you can help me pass the criminal pass." The virtuous brother does not have to be serious about these people and things. Who is a brother and who is not, I have a number. Brother Xian doesn't have to think about it. ”
Dai Zong also understood this principle, so he nodded happily.
Then, Song Jiang went out of the city to contact Ma Xiong, and invited Ma Ying and Ma Xiong to eat and drink together in Xunyang Building, the most famous hotel in Jiangzhou, to get acquainted with and make friends.
Ma Ying and Song Jiang, who used to be the secretary of the court, belong to peers in terms of occupation, and they both have a very good understanding of the yamen, so they naturally have something to say, and they have a common language, and they can talk about the deed, and this initial relationship is there. Song Jiang is extremely bold and generous, and Ma Ying, who likes pleasure and is extremely greedy for money, can't help but feel sorry for Song Jiang, and is willing to make deep friends.......
On the other hand, Song Jiang did not forget Zhang Kui's ...... Evil villain, you can't be offended, he may not be able to help you, he may not be able to succeed, but it is more than enough to hurt you. What's more, Zhang Kui does have some real skills, and his subordinates are very powerful, and they are extremely dangerous characters. Although Song Jiang is covered by layers, but there are open guns and hidden arrows, and hidden arrows are difficult to prevent, so Zhang Kui no longer ignores them. Zhang Kui is very good at water, and he is also a special talent, and he is also valuable in Song Jiang's heart, and he also has plans for Zhang Kui......
Song Jiang was eager to get closer to the Mu family brothers and establish a deeper friendship, but unfortunately, they couldn't get together. The Mu family brothers are busy with business, they are not free, they are not in Mujia Village, they are floating outside, and even the Mu housekeeper who guards the house does not know the whereabouts of the two brothers, and they can't be contacted.
Song Jiang was not in a hurry to chase after him, so that the Mu family brothers laughed and even looked down on him, so he had to press his mind and give up.
In the blink of an eye, it is time for the report to expire.
With Ma Ying collecting money, he really did something, and he dealt with it in advance, and sure enough, everything went well.
Song Jiang didn't use the yamen to report to the hall at all....... An excuse for a serious illness on the road with a cold is over. The prefect's yamen directly sent the documents (that is, Ma Ying's management), and took Song Jiang to the prison camp, and the camp benefited in advance, and also saved a hundred kills, and also let Song Jiang take on the good work of copying documents, in fact, he didn't have to do anything, and there was relative freedom, and there was also a convenient and comfortable single room in the prison camp. Song Jiang went up and down again, and Dai Zong, the president of the two academies, took care of him, and Song Jiang became a free person who had to go back to the prison camp at night to sleep, and he could come and go freely during the day, and wander around Jiangzhou casually, as long as he didn't stay away from Jiangzhou or escaped.
In fact, Song Jiang didn't know that Dai Zong was also negligent, how could the prefect Cai Jiu have the time and mind to go to the court to ask about the miscellaneous affairs of the offenders.
As soon as he heard Ma Ying say that there was actually a convict at this time, Cai Jiu was stunned for a moment, thinking: What kind of government is so stupid, if there is a crime, it is used as a coolie to obtain benefits but does not use it, but spends money and trouble to distribute it elsewhere?
After hearing Ma Ying explain with a smile: "He is a scholar who is both dark and short, and has suffered a lot and is sick. Cai Jiu smiled, "It turned out to be a useless thing that couldn't work, no wonder you have to hire someone to help you kill a lewd 7 woman and a mother-in-law, it's really a waste!" No wonder Yuncheng County is willing to be distributed, and there is no need to ......," and then waved his hand impatiently to send Ma Ying away, just deal with it as usual.
Song Jiang can't even beat a delicate girl, can't work, is sick, has money for treatment, and has no value of renting it to related households as coolies, so in Cai Jiu's eyes, there is no value worth noting. If Song Jiang died of illness in the prison camp, he would also be dead, saving the food consumption of the yamen.
Useless ants, dead, clean, early death, early clean.
Cai Jiu is this mentality.
Ignoring Song Jiang, the main reason is that these days, he has been too tormented.
Before, his brothers and nephews in Beijing went berserk and committed murder against the sons of high-ranking officials and nobles, even the princes favored by Emperor Zhao Ji........ The old father Cai Jing took the initiative to step down in a hurry, stripped all his honor and degraded to the ordinary people, the family and servants were scattered, he was blackmailed by pirates and had no savings, and he was not an official and had no income, Cai Jing, who was trapped in the capital, almost starved to death, Cai Dang lost power, and Cai Jiu, the prefect of Jiangzhou, could still be stable. It was a blessing that he was able to escape from the city by the general, and he did not die in the defection wave, but he was frightened and penniless, but he faced the disaster of losing power at home...... If he also loses his official position and income, then won't the Cai family have to starve to death?
Fortunately, the newly powerful ministers of the DPRK and China were all overwhelmed by the plague of pirates at that time, although they had the intention to wipe out Cai Jing's forces, so that Cai Jing, the old thief, would never recover and no longer have the possibility of turning over and seizing power, but they were also in a predicament and were very busy. When the new prime minister came to power, the foundation was not stable, and he was falling into a national disaster, and it was not good to clean up the powerful Cai Party too much, so as to avoid the risk of aggravating the turmoil of the dynasty and the collapse of the Great Song Dynasty...... The upstart can't be too ugly. Like Cai Jiu, there will be time later, and it will not be too late to adjust and clean it up.
Therefore, Cai Jiu did not immediately lose his official position and fall into a desperate situation, but naturally he was on pins and needles, worried, and frightened day and night.....
Who knows, the pirates are fierce and powerful, and they directly blackmailed the Great Song Dynasty court. Cai Jing almost starved to death. The Cai family's year is unfavorable, and the situation is worse, and it seems that it is unlucky, and it is about to be completely finished.
But who knows,
Cai Jing, who could never recover again, actually became the prime minister again, but it was the national disaster that helped, and it was the pirates who indirectly fulfilled Cai Jing's unwillingness.
Zhao Ji needs Cai Jing, who is good at financial management in his heart, to come to power to enrich the dry national finances, and he also needs Cai Jing's old spicy to stabilize the situation and support the country...... related, Cai Jiu's position is stable again, and he is singing again, but the difficulties he faces are not less, and some aspects are even more severe......
Cai Jiu's qualifications are average, his ability is average, and he is not the children and grandchildren that Cai Jing attaches importance to, and the children and grandchildren of Cai Jing are all officials in the capital to enjoy the Houjue or go to Taixue to prepare for the rapid promotion of the officialdom in the capital......... These descendants all died all at once, and only the honest son who was not an official was left in Beijing who served with filial piety by his side. Originally, Cai Jiu was sent to the local prefect specifically to make money for the Cai family, and by the way, to strengthen the Cai family's political strength in the local area, it has now become the only pillar to support the succession of the Cai family's officialdom, and it is the only hope for the Cai family to make money and get rich again. The task is heavy and arduous.
Cai Jiu experienced a catastrophe, and he was completely frightened by the lack of money, and he urgently needed to make more money to puff up his pockets, but Jiangzhou was looted too badly, and the people had no money to loot, and he had no way to do it, and the only big hope was the smuggling and filial piety of the Mu brothers.
The brothers of the Mu family are really capable and very good at being people, they have not come to the door in person before, Cai Jiu still doesn't know what the brothers look like, but the money is really a lot, and it really puffs up his pocket, but unfortunately, a disaster, money....... It's all gone.
Hateful damned pirates, hateful defectors and civilians........ I heard that the brothers have also become poor ghosts, and they have no money to buy goods, and I don't know if they can continue their smuggling business........ After sending people to ask questions repeatedly, and promising a lot of guarantees, the brothers had the courage to try again, and they didn't know if they could get the goods on credit from the pirates........
You can't just count on the Mu brothers. Cai Jiu can only play the business of criminals as coolies, the oil and water in it is not small, but unfortunately it is far from water that can not quench the thirst of the near, and the lucky people who did not die in the defection tide are all poor ghosts, poor ghosts who are more miserable than ordinary people, there is no money to exchange for coolies, only food is rented, and food is the most lacking and worthless thing in the current Great Song Dynasty, and it cannot be sold....... Criminals have no cash income from buying and selling, which can only be regarded as a profitable forward income, and they have to wait...... Cai Jiu is in a hurry to get money, after the catastrophe, he has become bottomless, and he is no longer the arrogant and confident prefect of the Yanai in the past, and he is worried that his father may step down again at any time......
In this way, how could he waste time on a useless criminal like Song Jiang. was so easily fooled by Ma Ying and others.
And Song Jiang, who was so comfortable that he couldn't do it, was also very emotional, the old boss of Yuncheng Zhixian County really took care of him and sent him to Jiangzhou, a good place, but he didn't know that Zhixian's heart was also very ghostly, and it was enough to be vicious and vicious, but he actually didn't have a good heart, and made two preparations......
The dispatch of Song Jiang to Jiangzhou, a good place thousands of miles away, is actually to prepare for Song Jiang to die on the chaotic and dangerous road, so that he not only has an explanation for the heavy bribes of the Song family and his friendship with Song Jiang, but also proves that he is not unfriendly, nor does he collect money and do not do personnel, so as not to severely sentence Song Jiang to invisibly provoke those unknown dangerous elements in the rivers and lakes that Song Jiang has befriended to kill the county government to come to seek revenge, and the vicious and cautious Zhao Neng brothers who hate Song Jiang for not dying can also be appeased, and it can also be said that it is reasonable to the above.
The approver above has a clear understanding of this kind of thing, and has a high status, and has a lot of understanding of the current chaotic and dangerous situation in the country, and has seen through the insidious intentions of Zhixian. Dying on the way to distribution is the same as the law. After getting the benefits, he naturally happily approved and agreed.
If Song Jiang's life is too hard, that is, he didn't die on the road, and he can go to Jiangzhou to serve his sentence until next year's amnesty, and he can come back safely, then Song Jiang is very grateful to the magistrate, and it is not impossible to be grateful to Dade, so there is thank you for the money to collect, plus Song Jiang must want to buy a way to enter the officialdom, and then you can only know the magistrate who can help with friendships, and there will be a lot of money to collect. Song Jiang himself is indeed a capable and easy-to-use official, if he has to use it, he might as well put it in his hands and use it.......
In short, it can be seen from this incident alone that Song Jiang is still too tender and naïve, he is just a conceited county official who is proficient in the most basic affairs, and he doesn't really understand the real officialdom and the official master, he can't see through the mysteries inside, and he doesn't have the opportunity to understand it deeply, he is limited to his identity and has no big officials and magnates to back the mountain, so he has no chance to mix at a higher level of officialdom, so he led the Liangshan Group to be arrogant in the Water Margin, and in the end he could only be easily played to death by the imperial court unconsciously.
Song Jiang didn't realize this, and he still sighed that it was too expensive to do something now. When I went south, I brought 2,000 guan, which was definitely a lot of money, but not only did I have a lot of money to eat on the long journey, but I robbed a lot of money from the villains or Diao people who wanted to rip off customers, and when I arrived in Jiangzhou, it was already 2,6700 guan, but in the blink of an eye, it was only given to Dai Zong, Ma Ying, the prison camp and the upper and lower camps, plus the money spent on banquets Zhang Kui, Ma Xiong and others, more than 1,000 guan was gone, this is just the beginning......
Fortunately, the New Year will be over soon, and the next year's amnesty will be able to go back leisurely, otherwise the remaining 1,000 guan will really not be able to withstand the spending, and I am afraid that I will really have to borrow money from the Mu family brothers when I am embarrassed and urgent....... That's a shame. He is in time for the rain, and he still wants to subdue the Mu family brothers to be his confidants, and give a lot of money and benefits.
But no matter what, Song Jiang's life in Jiangzhou was more chic and comfortable than that of a normal citizen.
Safe and sound, the New Year is approaching in a blink of an eye, and Song Jiang can't help but miss his father at home.
It's winter, but my father and brother are still having to get up early in the snow and work in the field every day in order to harvest the corn in the field, right?
"I, Song Jiang, have the reputation of filial piety and Hei Saburo on my back, but I ........ What a disfilial piety! ”
Song Jiang's words made Dai Zong and others more and more respectful, but Song Jiang was not happy in his heart, he was panicked, and he also ate and drank with Dai Zong all day long or went to the Xunyang River outside the city to eat and drink with Ma Xiong, Ma Ying and Zhang Kui.......
