My surname is Wang, my neighbor Wu Dalang

Chapter 156 Why did the envoy joke about Qingzhao's family affairs?

On the way back to Qingzhou with Wang Lin leading the Fuhu Army, the imperial court has adjusted and appointed the main administrative officials of the six prefectures of Ziqing and Denglai, such as Zhizhou and Tongju:
Quanzhi Qingzhou government affairs Huarong, the general judgment is consolidated.

Zhao Hongye, the magistrate of Zizhou.

Zhao Mingcheng, the magistrate of Laizhou.

Ma Ping, the magistrate of Dengzhou.

Weizhou Zhizhou Menghe.

Mizhou Zhizhou Sun Fulin.

Among the six people mentioned above, except for Hua Rong, who was Wang Lin's absolute confidant, Zhao Mingcheng was already in office, and the others were all arranged by the court.

As for who these people are and who they are, or simply say they belong to Li Gang, Wu Min, or Lu Yihao, it is hard to say for the time being.

Certainly not the remnants of the Tsai Party.

When Wang Lin received the official document from the Ministry of Officials, he laughed it off.

Under his rule, Zhizhou was just a decoration.

Normally, he will not interfere with the daily affairs and normal operations of the states, but major matters must be approved by the General Commissioner before they can issue orders and implement them.

In the next few years, Wang Lin will do his best to manage this ancient and prosperous Shandong coastal land, open up sea trade routes, encourage the population, develop the economy, and of course strengthen the army.

In a word, he now needs money, a lot of money, to support and train soldiers and horses.

But the court of the Northern Song Dynasty obviously couldn't count on it, so it could only find a way to raise money by itself.

Therefore, while still on the road, Wang Lin issued his first administrative order after he was in charge of the military affairs of the six prefectures: to clear up the household registration of the population, re-register the register, encourage the birth of the population, encourage the reclamation of wasteland and mountain fields, and vigorously develop commerce and trade.Where the six states belong to, the taxation related to commerce will be reduced by half.

Wang Lin knew that his reform of the tax system would definitely cause attacks and backlash from some officials in the Tokyo court, but at the moment he couldn't care less about these.

At present, most of the prosperous places in the Song Dynasty are in the southeast coast and the south and south of the Yangtze River. He wants to develop this area in eastern Shandong into a prosperous place for business and trade. There is no other way to go, but to implement certain preferential tax policies. .

As for the verbal criticism of some people in the court in the future, it is enough for the soldiers to cover it up.

He is more inclined that as the situation develops, the imperial court's control over local feudal towns will become weaker and weaker.

As long as he has a heavy army, no one dares to move him.

The so-called political power comes from the barrel of a gun, and military power is in hand, which is more practical than the emperor's esteem.

Except for Zhao Mingcheng, the other new prefects were actually officials from Shandong, so they arrived in Qingzhou earlier than Wang Lin.

In fact, Wang Lin originally wanted to use his power to promote the integration of gentry and gentry in Shandong to pay food and errands. This is the fastest way to increase taxes.

However, considering the huge resistance and pressure faced by the implementation of this law, as well as the imminent invasion of foreign enemies, which will trigger a boiling resistance from the gentry, a huge vested interest group, which is not conducive to the formation of the anti-golden alliance united front, so this idea is temporarily dismissed. .

When the time is ripe in the future, he may choose the opportunity to push it, but that's another story.

When the Fuhu army returned to Qingzhou, the soldiers and civilians of Qingzhou were all rejoicing.

The former Murong Yanda's mansion was naturally rebuilt into Bohai County Government Mansion and Jiedu Envoy Mansion, and the new prefect Hua Rong had to find another place to work.

Hua Rong, Zhao Mingcheng and more than a dozen people gathered in the main hall of the Bohai County Government Mansion. This was a ceremony for them to formally pay a visit to the town's general manager as subordinate officials.

After taking a bath and changing clothes, Wang Lin appeared in the hall immediately, dressed in a purple official robe, a purple gold crown on his head, and a goldfish bag around his waist.

Hua Rong took the lead, and everyone stood in a row, and immediately bowed to salute: "I have met the envoy!"

With a smile on his face, Wang Lin swept his eyes across the crowd, and finally fell on Zhao Mingcheng.

Remembering that this person is the husband of Li Qingzhao, a talented woman through the ages, he inevitably took a second look.

In fact, Zhao Mingcheng should also be regarded as the second generation of officials of the Great Counseling Dynasty.

The left servant shot Zhao Tingzhi's third son.

If Zhao Tingzhi hadn't offended Cai Jing, the Zhao family would have declined, maybe Zhao Mingcheng is still working as a errand in Tokyo at this moment, continuing to play with his romance.

This is a cultural person, and he doesn't seem to have much notoriety in history.

The only thing is that his character is cowardly, and he did some ridiculous things in the future.

For example, when the mutiny came, they actually abandoned the city and fled, not even their wives.

It's also a weird one.

Wang Lin felt that it was unreliable to hand over Laizhou to Zhao Mingcheng.

For such a person, let him concentrate on his research and study, and there is no problem in reciting poems and painting. It would be very incompetent for him to be a parent and official.

Zhao Mingcheng was a little nervous being stared at by Wang Lin.

He didn't know why Wang Lin paid so much attention to him.

How did he know that everything about him was invisible to Wang Lin.

Including some flaws in his personality, some flaws in personal morality, and even some rifts between the two of them because Zhao Mingcheng took a concubine in Laizhou.

So Zhao Mingcheng went to Laizhou to take up his post, Li Qingzhao did not accompany him, and lived alone in Qingzhou.

There are many allusions in history about the so-called Zhao Mingcheng empathizing with others and fleeing the city. Wang Lin had read a lot of gossip in his previous life.

"My next officer, Zhao Mingcheng, meet the envoy!" In order to hide his embarrassment and nervousness, Zhao Mingcheng bent down again to salute.

Wang Lin smiled lightly and waved his hands: "Master Zhao, you don't need to be polite. I just admired Mr. Zhao's talent and literary name for a long time. I saw Mr. Zhao in person and he was really handsome. I suddenly thought of something else... Sorry, sorry, Please sit down!"

Zhao Mingcheng felt relieved.

"Defu came from a famous family. If it wasn't for Cai Jing's persecution, he should still be a famous and wealthy son of the capital. How could he be the prefect in a remote place like Laizhou?"

Zhao Mingcheng clasped his hands and said: "The envoy won the award, my father was persecuted by the Cai party, and his family was in decline. Now fortunately, the envoy is eliminating traitors for the country. Once these six thieves are wiped out, the imperial court is immediately inspired. There are Lu Xianggong, Li Xianggong, and Wu Xianggong. The three ministers sit in the court of the capital, and the prosperity of our Great Song Dynasty is just around the corner, so it can be seen that the envoy has really made great contributions to our Great Song Society!"

After Zhao Mingcheng said this, the others also took turns to flatter Wang Lin.

Although Wang Lin was bored in his heart, he still gave these people a chance to flatter them with a smile on his face.

After all, this is officialdom, the basic routine in officialdom.

"Laizhou is an important place for our coastal defense in the Great Song Dynasty. Defu is in Laizhou, so he has to work hard and not slack off."

To be honest, Wang Lin was really worried about Zhao Mingcheng.

Zhao Mingcheng immediately got up and bowed down: "The next official should be the imperial court and devote himself to the envoy, and he will die after he dies!"

It was fine if he didn't say that, but when he said that, Wang Lin almost laughed out loud.

Such an indecisive, cowardly and cowardly person might be able to do it with all his might, but he might not even believe in himself after death.

Wang Lin quickly changed the subject: "Defu is in Laizhou, but Yi'an is living in Qingzhou. I heard that Defu took a concubine and set up a foreign house, which led to the estrangement between the virtuous couple?"

Zhao Mingcheng's face turned red.

He cupped his fists and said in shame, "Your official is ashamed!"

Wang Lin laughed: "Understood, understood, sexual desire is also human nature!"

A group of officials also laughed and made fun of Zhao Mingcheng, but it is normal for Zhao Mingcheng to take concubines.

……

After paying homage to Wang Lin, Zhao Mingcheng wanted to return to Laizhou directly.

One is that Xinna's beauty is eagerly looking forward to his return, and the other is that he and Li Qingzhao have indeed had a rift recently because of this, and there is a certain rift in their relationship.

He married the daughter of a local businessman in Laizhou, and the woman's family treated him extremely well and gave him a lot of financial support.

Of course, the more important thing is that this woman is charming and charming, which gives him a different feeling.

In comparison, the current Li Qingzhao is pretentious, strong, sentimental and moody in his eyes. He is not as cute and sensible as this little lady at all.

The key is to have money to support his dignity as an official.

But this is a private matter of the couple, Zhao Mingcheng asked himself that outsiders don't know much about it, so how could it reach the ears of Jiedu envoy Wang Lin?

Zhao Mingcheng subconsciously thought that it was Li Qingzhao who got drunk and made a slip of the tongue while interacting with local scholars.

So I got a little angry.

On the way, I turned to the Zhao family's other garden outside the city, which is the Yi'an Xiaozhu where Li Qingzhao lived for a long time.

When Li Qingzhao heard that Zhao Mingcheng had returned, he was a little happy at first, but when he saw Zhao Mingcheng's angry face and assumed a posture of provoking a teacher, his heart turned cold.

Zhao Mingcheng sneered and said, "Why did you announce my private matter of taking a concubine to the public?"

Li Qingzhao raised her brows: "Where did your husband's words come from? How and how could Qingzhao announce my family's private affairs to everyone?"

Zhao Mingcheng snorted coldly: "Didn't you say it? Then why did Wang Shijun mention this in public today, and your colleagues also mocked me a lot?"

Li Qingzhao also had a very noble temperament, and when he heard the words, he immediately sneered: "How does the envoy know, but the slave does not know, but since Zhao Zhizhou has the practice of taking concubines, and the fact that he favors concubines and suppresses wives, why should he be afraid of people's words?"

"Unreasonable, extremely absurd!"

"Absurd? Then I would like to ask Zhao Zhizhou, Mr. Zhao! You have had Jia Shi as a concubine for more than a year. Did Jia Shi ever come to Qingzhou to visit my eldest lady? Can you send me a letter according to the etiquette? I will carry it." Laizhou, your concubine's room was closed, and after staying for less than three days, she sneered at her, hooked up with the maids and servants at home, made every possible effort to embezzle my daily expenses, and was forced to go back to the ancestral house in Qingzhou by herself. Seeing that Zhao Zhizhou said half a word as a slave?"

Zhao Mingcheng's face turned red, and he forced himself to defend himself: "Even if you are a little resentful, you can't talk nonsense outside to tarnish the reputation of my Zhao family!"

Li Qingzhao was furious: "I don't have any!"

Zhao Mingcheng stomped his feet, walked out with a flick of his sleeves, and left Qingzhou by car for Laizhou in a short while.

Li Qingzhao looked lonely, and stood quietly in front of the window for a long time, before he bent over his desk and wrote a song "Reminiscence of Blowing Xiao on the Phoenix Terrace" in one go:
Fragrant, cold and golden, she was turned into a red wave, and when she got up, she combed her hair lazily.Ren Bao's dowry is full of dust, and the curtain is hooked in the sun.I'm afraid of the pain of parting, how many things I want to talk about.New to thin, not dry wine, not sad autumn.

Hugh!Going back this time, if you go through Yangguan thousands of times, it will be difficult to stay.Nian Wuling is far away, and the smoke locks Qinlou.Only the running water in front of the building should remember me and stare at me all day long.Staring at the place, from now on, I will add a new worry.

After finishing writing, Li Qingzhao took another piece of letterhead and wrote: Why did Shi Jun joke about Qingzhao's family affairs?It caused my husband and wife to turn against each other and create a new rift.

Li Qingzhao called Huan'er, the maidservant: "Huan'er, go to the royal palace in Qingzhou City and send me this letter."
