After Lin Jian Xiangxiang took the post of Jiangdao Prison Commander, he spent some energy studying the prison affairs of this dynasty.

Except for the laws and decrees promulgated by the imperial court, the relevant treatises are extremely rare, and only a few notes written by the literati in prison have been published in the world, and most of the accounts are a few anecdotes of prison officials heard from the mouths of prison guards, and there are no treatises on prison affairs in a systematic manner. Of course, in this era, not to mention the content of basic theory, professional and systematic treatises on other industries are extremely rare.

In the military aspect, except for Su Jinyuan, the famous general who founded the country, who wrote a book of "Annotations on the Seven Classics of Martial Arts" for more than 200 years, no higher-level treatise has been published in the past 200 years, just as there has been no progress in military technology and operational theory in the more than 200 years since the founding of the Great Yue Dynasty. Agricultural administration, water affairs, shipbuilding, ironwork, weaving and many other aspects of professional treatises are very rare, even if there are, are some of the classical masterpieces with a history of hundreds or even hundreds of years, nearly a hundred years of all kinds of technical development achievements are either passed on by word of mouth, or as a secret book of the teacher private teaching, outsiders are absolutely not able to see the way.

Lin Lian never expected that four years ago, he offended Minister Chen Xinbo because of a trivial matter, and Zhao Shuhan, who kicked the cold yamen of the Jiangning Criminal Department, used four years of sitting on the cold bench to write this brilliant treatise on prison affairs of hundreds of pages.

"Can the manuscript be beneficial to Brother Lin?" Zhao Shuhan said.

"Oh......" Lin Jian came back to his senses, and he forgot to say anything to Zhao Shuhan when he was distracted for a while.

Zhao Shuhan looked at this upstart who had recently become famous in Jiangning City, although it was only for the last rank in the township examination, but the heated discussion he set off in the city was comparable to the Jiangning celebrity in the autumn, Jiangdong Township Trial Solution Yuan Chen Mingzhe.

Now Chen Mingzhe has returned to his hometown to retreat and study to prepare for next year's Spring Festival, but this upstart Gu Wuchen of the Chu Party does not love the fame of Jinshi at all, and after joining Gu Wuchen's door, he is bent on seeking a half-official position in Jiangning, and is also actively preparing to run a business.

Although many of Zhao Shuhan's Qingliu colleagues are quite contemptuous that Lin Shu is just an opportunistic and greedy luck man, Zhao Shuhan, who was hit by a dull blow in his career at the beginning, is much more pragmatic than four years ago, and even has no teacher to drill camps. Zhao Shuhan will not study Lin Bin's character in detail, nor will he rely on the fame of the fourth in the second rank to see Lin Bin, but more hope to be able to cast himself into Gu Wuchen's door through Lin Bin.

As for the habit of scholars being ashamed of seeking wealth, Zhao Shuhan, who has lived in poverty in Jiangning City for four years, also smiled contemptuously, and his colleagues have worked hard and exhausted all means to extort 1,200 coppers, arresting people and imprisoning them on the pretext of being caught at will, and even forcing other people's families to die.

Zhao Shuhan is not familiar with Lin Tie, even if he doesn't have too deep prejudices against Lin Tie, from the rumors he heard, he only regards him as a character who takes advantage of the situation, he is quite complacent about his manuscript, watching Lin Tie pick up his manuscript and read it for a long time, and then his fingers pressed his manuscript for a long time, and he couldn't help but remind him.

"If Brother Lin thinks that Zhao's foolish manuscript is readable, you might as well take it back, and I'll return it in a few days." Zhao Shuhan can also see that Lin Jian gave him the attraction of the manuscript, and he is also quite proud, the pride of the four-year eunuch journey is here, and when he sees the people who appreciate it, he can naturally breed a lot of good feelings in his heart.

Among the many friendships in this world, confidant friendship is probably the most exciting one.

"This ......" Lin Lian's mind was knotted, and it took a while to clear his mind and say to Zhao Shuhan, "Brother Zhao's brilliant masterpiece is the first wonderful article I have read in my life, why doesn't Brother Zhao publish it in the world for the benefit of the world?" To put it mildly, compared to Brother Zhao's second-class and fourth-class Jinshi fame, Lin Jian thinks that Brother Zhao's real fame is above this manuscript......"

"Haha, Brother Lin is overrated," although Zhao Shuhan felt that Lin Bin's words were exaggerated, but he gave people such praise, every pore on his body was comfortable, holding Lin Bin's arm, compared to the drill camp just now, everyone who forgot his feelings at this moment led him to his confidant, "Brother Lin is a child of a wealthy family, I don't know the hard work of poverty, although Shu Han also wants to publish the book, but Shu Han can't pay for hundreds of taels of silver to engrave the book, if Brother Lin really likes it, Shu Han will spend ten days to copy another manuscript and give it to you......"

"What kind of wealthy kid am I? Is that good? Lin Jian looked at the cold Zhao Mansion on all sides, and said, "Brother Zhao entrusted me with the manuscript for publication, I paid Brother Zhao one hundred taels of silver, after the manuscript was published, I will sign Brother Zhao's name, but the profits from the sale of books in the future will all belong to me......

"It's not a Liyuan opera, how many people will buy it when it is published in the world, Brother Lin is joking about Shuhan." Zhao Shuhan shook his head and said.

"You don't have to worry about this, Brother Zhao just promise me," Lin Jian said, calling Zhao Hu in, asking him how much silver he had brought out of his bag, and gave Zhao Shuhan all the twenty taels of silver on Zhao Hu's body, "I can't wait to find a place to read this book right away, so I won't delay the time to invite Brother Zhao to eat and drink, and the remaining eighty taels of silver, I will send it to someone after I return to ......the house."

"How dare you?" For Zhao Shuhan, who didn't have twenty taels of sons in a year, Lin Tie felt unusually pressed for the twenty taels of his son at this time, where did he dare to ask for another eighty taels of silver, and it was a huge expense to publish and engrave books, he didn't expect Lin Tie to say these words seriously, and he was stunned, he didn't know how to excuse himself, and he was still a little confused when he sent Lin Tie's master and servant out.

Watching the three of Lin Tie's master and servant ride away, Zhao Shuhan still felt that the twenty taels of silver in his hand were overwhelming, and he didn't dare to think that he could ask Lin Tie to engrave the manuscript for him without paying a penny, and he could not figure out that Lin Tie had other intentions, and besides, he obviously had something to ask him for today.

"Look at you as if you have lost your soul, everyone has been gone for a long time, and you are still watching at the door for a long time?" Zhao Shuhan's wife walked over, looked into the alley in the twilight, and pushed her distracted husband, "When have you ever seen someone else's girl infatuated?" ”

Zhao Shuhan ignored his wife's jokes and asked her: "You said that I pondered those manuscripts all day long, and I couldn't get back a penny for paper, but others said that the manuscript was worth a hundred taels of silver just for me, do you believe it or not?" ”

"Are you crazy, or are others crazy?" Zhao's wife said.

"Then it seems that someone else has lost his heart and gone crazy, you see......" Zhao Shuhan spread his hand to show his wife the silver bills in his hand.

"Ah......" Zhao's wife's eyes widened, staring at the silver in Zhao Shuhan's hand, stunned for a long time, and then exhaled and said, "Could it be that he has something else to ask you?" ”

"I think so too," Zhao Shuhan said, "But when he first came, he swore an oath not to stand with Qingfeng, threatened the young master of the feudal mansion by cutting off his tongue, and saved his aunt and sister-in-law to protect his innocence, he is a celebrity under Gu Wuchen's door - I am a petty official of the cold yamen, don't look at it as an official of the seventh grade, the janitor in front of the yamen of Jiangning Mansion dares to give me a face, what am I worth asking for?" Besides, if I ask for someone, I have to ask him. Zhao Shuhan was puzzled, handed over the silver to his wife, and asked her to ask the old servant to go out and buy a few catties of wine back, and felt that it was also a pleasure to meet a confidant who appreciated his manuscripts.

"If you get some silver, you will know how to eat and drink, and you don't know if you want to add a cotton coat to Hao'er first......" Zhao's wife complained.

"Yes, yes, yes, first add a cotton coat to Hao'er, and then give the lady a silver hairpin." Zhao Shuhan said with a smile.

"I don't want any silver hairpin, it's already dark, to buy cotton clothes and have to wait to understand before you can go to the clothing shop, I think that with silver to save flowers, in a few days is the New Year's Festival, you have drunk at noon, a meal of wine in the evening can be saved to the eve of the New Year's Festival to let you drink a good time." Zhao's wife said.

"Okay, okay......" Zhao Shuhan saw that his beloved wife and him had suffered a lot over the years, and everything depended on her.

After returning to the house for a while, hearing that there were horses coming back from the alley, Zhao Shuhan asked his wife in surprise: "Should you really send the rest of the silver?" Listening to the knock on the door, he hurriedly opened the door, and it was really Zhao Hu standing in front of the door.

"Lord Zhao, this is the remaining eighty taels of silver that my son-in-law promised, you can count it," Zhao Hu handed the small burden of silver to Zhao Shuhan, and then turned around and untied a few solid and heavy cloth bags on the horse's back and put them in the yard, and said, "The New Year is approaching, my son-in-law said that this is a New Year's gift he gave to Lord Zhao in advance, and they are all native products of his hometown, please accept it with a smile...... My son-in-law also told me to do other things, so I didn't delay......"

Watching Zhao Hu ride out of the alley, Zhao Shuhan held on to the edge of the door, with mixed feelings, as if he had suffered four years of grievances in Jiangning before he really found a confidant who could appreciate him.

"Look at you! People are just a lifter, you are still a second-class and fourth-class jinshi, if the silver is sent by Gu Wuchen, the deputy envoy of the inspection, you still have to cry at the mouth of the alley? Seeing that her husband was emotional, Zhao's wife couldn't help but tease him, and said, "Yes, yes, I know that you are happy in your heart, you buy everything back to the house first, and I will call Chengbo to give you two catties of wine, and then buy you a catty of braised pig's head meat and come back......"

"Go, ......go quickly" Zhao Shuhan was really afraid that he would shed tears in front of his wife without interest, urging his wife to call the old servant to buy wine and food, he returned to the house with a stirring of emotions, and felt that he was so uneasy to take Lin Tie a hundred taels of silver, even if he wanted to publish the manuscript, there were still many places to be deleted, but he was afraid of wasting paper and ink money before, and some of the places to be revised were left in his heart, and he hadn't had time to do it, the more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and called his wife, "You have eaten the wine and food, I still have something to visit Lin Juzi to ......"

"It's so late, aren't you afraid that people will say that you are going to eat and drink?" Zhao's wife said.

"Lin Juzi wouldn't think so." Zhao Shuhan had confidence in Lin Jian at this time, and said unmindfully.

"Then let Chengbo accompany you, it's dark." Zhao's wife said.
