Chapter 157 - Petition (I)
There are many rivers in Gyeongju, and the barren mountains are a little better than those in Wangjiazhai, and you can see green mountains and green trees everywhere.
However, the water and soil were also destroyed by YanzhΓ²ng, and next to Gyeongju Castle was Malyeongshui, but the river water was turbid and undrinkable, so the people in the city had to go to the valley outside the city to bring spring water back to the city. It seems that this Zhizhou figured out a way to dig a hundred wells in the city, and only then did he find a spring water that could be drunk.
The affairs in Gyeongju City have nothing to do with Wang Ju, and he is not qualified to take care of it.
But in this trip, their first step was not to Hwachi, but to Gyeongju City.
The second eldest son asked strangely: "Da Lang, why don't you go to Huachi to hand over?" β
"This is not in a hurry, let's come to Gyeongju first to grab power."
"Power grabbing?"
"If I don't grab the right to train soldiers, I can't go to Huachi County."
"The right to train troops?"
"When you arrive in Huachi, what else do you expect to do besides training?"
Just one sentence, the second eldest son knew that Huachi County was not so beautiful.
But it's okay, at this time, there are people in Gyeongju, Zhang Yu, the deputy director, who is in charge of the clinic, and there is one person, Yao Ji, who wants to inspect Yao Ji who is sitting in Liyuan Fort in the name of inspection, and Zhao Ming, the old general who has to be promoted by Fan Zhongyan, is just a good deck of cards, but he did not let Sun Changqing play it well.
When he came to the state office, Wang Ju handed over the sticker.
Sun Changqing looked at the worship sticker, a little distracted.
After Wang Ju received the order, he went to Wangjiazhai first, delayed for many days, and prepared some things. Later, there was a delay in Yanzhou City, and my younger brother was going to study in Yanzhou, and there were some other things that were simply arranged, anyway, they were close and would not be delayed.
However, Sun Changqing also heard about him somewhat, so he wrote to ask Cheng Kan.
Cheng Kan also replied to the letter, and said honestly in the letter that the imperial court asked Wang Ju to go to Huachi to use the right person, and Gyeongju is not to govern, but to understand military affairs, and this son is enough to be competent. But the second father, you have a gentle personality, I'm afraid you don't like this character very much.
If you use it well, you are a talent, and if you don't use it well, it will become your thorn.
Sun Changqing thought about it, and asked the officials to bring Wang Ju in.
"Meet Sun Gong."
"Sit down, is there a handover?"
"Not yet."
"How did you come to Gyeongju before the handover?"
The direction is wrong, from Yeonju to Gyeongju, the first stop is Hwachi County, followed by Gyeongju.
"Sun Gong, can you give me a cup of tea?" Wang Judao.
Anyway, I'm also your subordinate, this hot day, sweating profusely, just let me sit?
"Make tea." Sun Changqing instructed the maidservant.
"Don't use ginger, shallots, spices and rice noodles, just use tea cakes." Wang Ju added a sentence later. In the Song Dynasty, the taste of tea was very heavy, and he dared to put anything in it, which made Wang Ju very unaccustomed.
The feelings of this master are self-familiar, the old grandson was speechless, but the maid giggled on the side.
Men love beautiful women, women also love pretty men, Wang Jusheng has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and he is young, and the maid is smiling while scanning with her eyes, thinking, this little county is so small, and it looks so beautiful.
Lao Sun was dissatisfied: "Are you boiling tea, or are you looking at people." β
"Oh," the maid didn't dare to look at it, and began to make tea with peace of mind, not to mention, the movements were very beautiful, which immediately made her feel a kind of charm. Maybe Qiongniang is very sad, isn't my tea-making action not good-looking?
Wang Ju looked at the pretty maid, and then at Sun Changqing's white beard, and sighed in his heart: Fallen Song Dynasty scholar.
Of course, Lao Sun is still not bad, unlike some officials who bully their superiors and subordinates, they are very domineering, but they have a soft personality and are not suitable for Gyeongju.
The maidservant sat on her knees, served tea, and Wang Ju said politely: "Thank you, lady." β
She wanted to laugh again, and only then did she stop smiling when she looked at Lao Sun's tense face.
After taking a few sips of tea, Wang Jucai said: "Sun Gong, there are two plans to deliberately detour to Gyeongju City in his later life, one is to refuse to grant the edict, and the other is to go to Huachi County to take over. β
Sun Changqing sipped tea and was silent, listening to Wang Ju say down.
"However, when I passed through Huachi County, I deliberately inspected some villages, and many villages were empty, either they were people of various ethnic groups who guarded the mountains and herded on the hills, or soldiers patrolling. Later life was very puzzled by the imperial court's mandate. If a small county is used to let the late students grind and survey, it is too late for the late students to rejoice, and the states and states Cao Wansheng are also not excluded. Why was the late birth placed in Huachi County? β
"The court used you because you fought in Wangjiazhai."
was waiting for his words.
"That battle was purely the carelessness of the Western Xia people, or that is, the late life knew some military affairs," Wang Ju also wanted to cry when he said this, these ten days, Wang Ju almost every day with all kinds of books on the art of war, and even asked for Zeng Gongliang's "General Essentials of the Martial Arts" from Cheng Kan, reading may not be able to read as a military strategist, but if you don't read it, you are not a military strategist: "I am the magistrate, what right do I have to mobilize the sergeants of each battalion?" We are new jinshi, mainly grinding and surveying, how can we be in Huachi County grinding and surveying? β
Sun Changqing also felt that it was wrong.
Gyeongju is his territory, he has been in Gyeongju for a long time, of course, he knows in his heart that now Huachi County is very sad, and the population of the county in the household register will not exceed 3,000 households, of course, there must be more than that, there are still many Tibetan people left, but how do those Tibetan people govern? As long as they don't make trouble, then it's a great blessing to be cured. The rest were sergeants.
Could it be that this kid has offended someone in Zhongshu?
"What the hell are you trying to say?"
"Late students have the right to train troops, and part of the right to choose troops!"
After seven or eight or twenty-four bends, the ultimate goal is this sentence.
Give the right to train troops, I will go to Huachi County, if I don't give it, I will refuse the edict, and there is a reason to refuse the edict, this edict is unreasonable. Sun Changqing estimated that Wang Ju could really do it, others were afraid of things, but this kid was afraid of things!
"Why do you need the right to train troops and the right to select troops?"
"Sun Gong has also heard about the battle of Wangjiazhai."
"I heard about it," Sun Changqing said, and the capital was all in a hurry, could I have not heard of it?
"That battle everyone saw only the surface, has not seen the inside story, when the late life let the villagers in the village cast the sword, vaguely feel that although the sword to the villagers bring wealth, can also bring a bad side, even dangerous, under my strong request, the villagers organized their own training, but also bought some weapons. If it weren't for that winter's training, even if they were organized, more than 600 Western Xia enemies would not have been able to defeat them. β
"All battalions are training."
"Sun Gong, each battalion is training, can you take it seriously? I didn't see anything else, I only saw that the instructing Cheng Ping took dozens of men down to our village to grab merit and bully a group of women and children, but I ordered to release arrows, only shot the leg, and then fell to the ground, put down the weapon, raised his hand and surrendered, this is also called training? So I asked for this right to train the troops, and let the soldiers of each battalion in Huachi go to real training, so that once the enemy invades again, they can be prepared. β
"Even if you write an order to the battalions, can you mobilize them?" Sun Changqing asked, Wang Ju is right, but whether the commanders of the battalions will listen to you is the key to this.
"As long as Sun Gong writes, the rest will be handed over to the later students." Wang Ju said.
That's what I want. But he despised Sun Changqing in his heart, I have no rights but I am fighting for rights, you have the right but you don't have the right to wield it.
After coming to Gyeongju, Wang Ju deliberately inquired about this person, and the first official of this person was in charge of the Chuzhou Grain Institute, and there were 500,000 stones of rice stored in the state warehouse, some of which were rotten for a long time and could not be used, and some were mixed with sediment.
This is related to the reform of the warehouse law behind Wang Anshi.
The little officials in charge of the granary have no salary, so they embezzle and make profits, exchange old grain for new grain, or mix mud and sand into the grain, and sell the extra grain for profit.
If it were another official, it would have been severely punished.
But this person is good, carefully screen out the grain, leave the new grain, and wash the old rice with clean water to remove the mud, and the matter is revealed, and everyone is happy, thinking that there is benevolence.
Virtuous ghost, doesn't this contribute to the crooked doorway?
Maybe it's a good minister, but he doesn't want to make trouble, and what is bad is that he is timid and afraid of trouble, can such a person be able to do it in Gyeongju, and can he shock those soldiers?
Sun Changqing didn't know what he was thinking, so he persuaded: "Although you have some talent, you are young." β
"Huo Qu's illness is younger."
"So-and-so is kind."
"In the barren area of Shaanxi, focusing on military affairs, Ci is not in charge of the army, not in the internal 6, to be diligent in government and love the people, in Gyeongju can guard the border well, and prevent the Xixia people from crossing the border to invade and plunder, that is the greatest kindness, more than loving the people like a son."
The maid on the side finally couldn't help but laugh.
Yes, if this kid doesn't listen to the old man, he will make you suffer, Sun Changqing has no choice, and immediately began to write orders.
"Sun Gong, good words."
Sun Changqing can't be regarded as a master of calligraphy, at least not at the level of Ouyang Xiu, but it is indeed a good character for Wang Ju. This thing can't be brought with a golden finger, so even if he can copy Zheng Banqiao's bamboo leaf body, can he copy that true taste?
Sun Changqing's characters are a little charming, which is also the mainstream font of scholars now, mainly based on the charm of the Tang Dynasty, but for Wang Ju, it is also good.
After listening to Wang Ju's praise, Sun Changqing also had a few complacencies.
No matter how weird this son's personality is, but he is indeed a talented man, so Cheng Kancai deliberately wrote a letter to let Wang Ju enter the state to study, why, he must be able to enter the Jinshi. In Cheng Kan's words, this son's mind, talent, and sensitivity are difficult for ordinary people to match. Fortunately, Cheng Kan didn't say in the letter that Wang Ju would definitely be Ding Wei in the future, otherwise Sun Changqing wouldn't know what to think.
can be praised by Wang Ju, Sun Changqing is very happy in his heart.
After writing the order and stamping it, Wang Ju carefully put it in his arms, and then said: "Thanks to Sun Gong's trust, I am ashamed of my late life." β
"Shame on what?"
"Sun Gong is an important minister of the state, an old minister of the two dynasties, with profound qualifications, and he cannot be attached to the later life, so the late life has no bottom in his heart, thinking that Sun Gong will not agree, and the later life has made plans on how to refuse to give orders to the imperial court."
This is not a good thing, and if he doesn't agree, this kid will have to say bad things about himself in the recital. Once the facts are out of trouble, Sun Changqing's face is not very good-looking, otherwise he would not agree.
"What are you going to do?"
"Let's take a look first, it's really not good, first General Ji Zhen up."
"You kid, don't force the officers and soldiers to rebel," Sun Changqing suddenly regretted when he saw Wang Ju's happy appearance, and even the word boy came out.
