Seeing that the carriage was walking unhurriedly, Du Zhongxiao said: "This is not a trivial matter, as soon as these people are slack, they will not notice that the train is coming, and they will hit a few lives!" Let's wait here, call Li Zhizhou and let him deal with this matter! ”

Fan Zhongyan said: "Yun Judgment, forget it." In the evening, Li Zhizhou held a banquet in the riverside restaurant, and it was not too late to talk about it at that time. ”

Du Zhongxiao was afraid that a lawsuit would affect the development of the railway, and he was about to distinguish it. Xiang Zong on the side coughed lightly and said, "What Fan Xianggong said makes sense, some trivial things, why bother to invite Li Zhizhou." Wait until the evening feast is time, and let him be strictly restrained in the future. It just so happens that all the governors are here, and let's tell them that this matter is not feasible. ”

After speaking, he glanced at Du Zhongxiao. Du Zhongxiao comprehended, no longer distinguished, and the five of them continued to move forward.

Walking on the road, Xiang Zong deliberately took a few steps behind, and whispered to Du Zhongxiao: "Yun Juan, you misunderstood what Fan Xianggong meant." ”

Du Zhongxiao was a little puzzled and asked, "Why do you say this?" ”

Xiang Zongdao: "This is a railway built by the government, and people are not allowed to walk." You see the cars, they are walking very calmly, and they are in the city, and if I guess correctly, nine times out of ten they have the permission of the local officials. Why did the officials allow them to walk? Of course, the money was collected. If Li Zhizhou had permission to do this, wouldn't it be embarrassing to call him over? Let's talk about it afterwards, don't lose Li Zhizhou's face. ”

Du Zhongxiao nodded, and then suddenly realized. Fan Zhongyan is a person who has become a master in officialdom, and this must have been the meaning just now.

If it was an ordinary governor, Du Zhongxiao, as a transport judge, would have the duty of a prosecutor. Li Fugui is different from others, he has a great sense of fame, and he will definitely hold grudges in the future when he is called over in front of so many people. His father, Li Shu, was already known for his narrow-mindedness in the officialdom, and he was a very senior minister, and he was hated by this father and son, and he may suffer in the future.

Du Zhongxiao, a young jinshi, has not encountered twists and turns in the officialdom, and has been smooth sailing. Xia Zhu, an important minister of the imperial court who had cooperated, appreciated him and took him to Hedong Road. Zheng Jian is not right about things or people, and his personality is consistent with Du Zhongxiao, and he has never encountered anything that harms people. With the promotion of official positions, I am afraid that it will not be so smooth in the future. If you are not careful, you don't know when to offend people.

At this time, the officials were less than the two major provinces and above the pending system, and they were not qualified to play music. At the local level, the transfer envoy and the criminal officer are in charge of the affairs of the whole road, and they have the authority of the prosecutorial officials, so they should be above the state and county. In fact, the state is the perfect political unit, the governor has the general power, and the affairs of a state are all-encompassing, and the transfer envoy and the sentence are often helpless to the governor. Not to mention, many governors are important ministers who are released, and important places are generally highly qualified officials, and one accidentally becomes your top boss after a few years.

Local officials are quite complicated in various relationships, and if they are not careful, their careers will have twists and turns. It is not the same as the hierarchical relationship between superiors and subordinates in later generations, not to mention the road and the state, that is, the state and the general judgment, the knowledge of the state and the shogun, and the official of the shogun, can not be said to be the same.

Since arriving at Jingxi Road, Du Zhongxiao has concentrated on field affairs, and has not had much contact with the magistrates, so he lacks caution in his actions. In the future, the camp will move to Zaoyang County, but it will be different from before, and you must think twice about doing things.

Dengzhou in the north is Fan Zhongyan, needless to mention, Wang Zhu in Xiangzhou in the west, who was a bachelor of Hanlin, was impeached by the imperial history to know Xiangzhou because he sat with a female prostitute during the Saishen meeting, and was also an important minister. Moreover, Xiangzhou is the administrative office of the deputy envoy of the Jingxi Road Transit and the administrative office of the Jianghuai shipping judge, and the situation is much more complicated than when he was in Yexian. The railway was repaired to Xiangzhou, which directly affected the transportation of the Hanshui River Basin and the Sichuan Gorge area, and the shipping judge Ma Zun did not come this time, and he did not know the attitude of the Jianghuai Shipping Division.

At this time, there was no chief envoy in the Jianghuai Shipping Division, and Xu Yuan, the deputy envoy, was in charge of all affairs. Xu Yuan was originally the shipping judge in Xiangzhou, and because of his outstanding political achievements, he was promoted to be the shipping envoy. Because of his qualifications, he is a deputy envoy who exercises the power of a chief envoy. This is no ordinary man, he is one of the best shipping envoys in decades, and his attitude may have a direct impact on the layout of the railway.

Even Xiang Zong, who is close to Du Zhongxiao, is also the grandson of the former prime minister, a genuine relative, and has more relations between the DPRK and China.

After walking for a while, Du Zhongxiao carefully recalled what happened just now and sighed secretly. Born in a poor family, the imperial court does not discriminate against Jinshi from a poor family, and even deliberately reuses it, but in the officialdom, there is a lack of relationship network after all. In addition to deeds, we should also pay special attention in the future and try to be as smooth as possible. Otherwise, the credit earned by hard work will be wiped out by a word, and the future will be worrying.

After walking a short distance, I saw a wine side with the words "Authentic Yexian Wine and Food" written outside. Xiang Zong said with a smile: "Since the construction of the Iron Prison, Ye County has become a prosperous place, and even the food there can make a world outside. Now that you've come here, why don't you go in and have a drink or two? ”

A few people agreed, and walked into the shop.

I sat down on the seat, called the shopkeeper to Zong, and said, "Master, you write about Yexian wine and food here, but there are people there?" ”

The shopkeeper handed over: "Back to the official, the little one grew up in Ye County since he was a child, and he has opened a restaurant there for decades. Because the little girl married to Tangzhou, she had to move here. I had no way to make a living, so I had to go back to my old job. ”

Xiang Zongdao: "Yexian is just a small county town, what is so special?" ”

The shopkeeper said proudly: "Official, although Ye County is small, there is a Baiting Iron Supervisor. There are tens of thousands of workers in that iron prison, and there is no shortage of money and food every month, and their tastes are mixed, and their food is rich, no less than that of Kaifeng Mansion. No matter where the dish is, as long as the official can say it, the small shop will make it! ”

Xiang Zong shook his head with a smile, and said to Ouyang Xiu on the side: "You have lived in the iron prison for a few days, if you have anything delicious, order some of them, and Fan Xianggong and I will also taste them." If it is not done authentically, we will not give money to the master's family. ”

The shopkeeper said, "What are these words, official?" The small one has opened a store in Ye County for decades, how can it be inauthentic! ”

Song Qi said with a smile: "That's good, when I was in the iron prison, I ate a taste of squirrel osmanthus fish, which is very good, sweet and sour." You go and choose the best carp and make it, and we'll taste it. Also, there are many swamps there, and the roast duck is very delicious, so make one. ”

The shopkeeper said: "Guest officer, if you want to make squirrel osmanthus fish, don't use carp, don't use herring, it's best to use mandarin fish." ”

Du Zhongxiao said: "What you said is good. But do you still have mandarin fish for sale here? ”

The shopkeeper said: "The mandarin fish in my store are all sent from Suizhou, but there are not many in Tangzhou City." ”

A few people saw that the shopkeeper was serious, and they couldn't be wrong. Being able to transport fish from other places, this shop wants to have some skills, and a few people ordered a few things and let them come up. He also asked the shopkeeper to choose the best wine and bring two pots, which was considered lunch.

The shopkeeper left, and Ouyang Xiu said: "Although Suizhou is close to Tangzhou, the water and soil are actually very different. There are many rivers and a lot of rain, and it is actually a land of fish and rice. Although Tangzhou is also a place to grow rice, I always feel that it is a little less interesting. ”

Speaking of this, Ouyang Xiu suddenly remembered and asked Du Zhongxiao: "Judge Yun, when I was in the iron prison a few days ago, I heard that the camp field affairs planted cotton last year?" A few years ago I had a gibb that was very gentle and very valuable. If cotton can be grown here, why not let the fields be planted? ”

Du Zhongxiao said: "Yes, when I was on Hedong Road, I bought seeds from the Western Regions. The climate here is suitable, and there are quite a few plants this year. ”
