On the third day of New Year's Day, officials in charge of military security in Quanzhou and Xinghua Army arrived in Fuzhou at the request of Xu Yuanzhi, the Fujian Road pacifier.

On New Year's Day, we should have reunited with our family at home, but we were taken to Fuzhou on the grounds of "pirates are rampant". These officials were not in a good mood. Fortunately, Fuzhou was lively. Even if it was not as prosperous as Quanzhou, there were many activities in various places on New Year's Day. With the same big show, the overall quality of Fuzhou exceeded that of Yongxing Army. People in Quanzhou were indifferent, but Yongxing Army still felt that it was sloppy.

"In recent days, both Quanzhou and Fuzhou have reported that pirates robbed ships, and at this time, the large ships heading south have already sailed. Small boats on the sea are not easy to resist the Shanghai bandits." As the Fujian Road pacifier, Xu Yuanzhi was quite majestic when talking about official duties.

In addition, in Fuzhou, officials from the three places raised their faces and listened to the comforting envoys. Zhao Jiaren, as one of them, was also listening, but was a little absent-minded. Because of this order, he failed to lead the team to Mulan Pier to worship Qian Siniang's temple. It can be seen that Xu Yuanzhi was determined to call Zhao Jiaren here.

In addition, the meetings of the Southern Song Dynasty were relatively boring, and Zhao Jiaren had sufficient experience in the previous life. According to the "ancestral family law", the Southern Song Dynasty adopted the "different theories to stir up the big and small" to "combinate the big and small". Generally speaking, it means dividing power and mutual restraint.

It is impossible for the situation where the XX official was furious and the officials below knelt on the ground. It was a slave situation unique to the Qing Dynasty. Even as the local military convener, the pacifier is now a idle position. The specific execution is not the responsibility of the pacifier. Not to mention Xu Yuanzhi slapped the table, even if he raised the table and smashed it to pieces, the county magistrate Zhao Jiaren would not be afraid at all, and there was no reason to execute Xu Yuanzhi's orders.

The nonsense of the meeting foundation determines the nonsense level of the meeting process. Just as Zhao Jiaren was waiting for the nonsense meeting to end, the local head of Quanzhou put forward a view, "Can you ask the left-wing army to send ships to wipe it out?"

Zhao Jiaren has not been concerned about Quanzhou affairs for a long time. Some people think that Xu Yuanzhi is taking him to discuss things. Zhao Jiaren instinctively believes that the pirates this time are probably an excuse. At this time, Quanzhou put forward a nonsense statement at a nonsense meeting, and Zhao Jiaren was quite surprised. After not seeing each other for a few months, are the pirates in Fujian really so fierce?

"The Pu family fleet was robbed these times. It seems that the pirates determined that the Pu family was fighting. Since that is the case, asking the left-wing army to send a navy to help may have a miraculous effect." The officials in Quanzhou continued their own explanation.

Xu Yuanzhi didn't think that this meeting was so important. He just bluffed and wanted to bring Zhao Jiaren, who was struggling with the Xinghua Army like a wild horse, to Fuzhou to calm down. Unexpectedly, Quanzhou really took this matter seriously. Just when most people showed an expression of "this has nothing to do with me", Xu Yuanzhi saw Zhao Jiaren's face showing a happy smile. Although it was only for a moment, the joy from the heart made Zhao Jiaren bright.

However, this change did not attract others' attention, and Xu Yuanzhi did not retract his eyes. He swept the faces of a group of Quanzhou officials and then asked: "The Left-wing Army Command has not arrived this time. Let's discuss the result first, and then discuss with the Left-wing Army."

The meeting was held in nonsense. After the meeting ended in the afternoon, Zhao Jiaren arrived at Xu Yuanzhi as agreed in advance.

When the two met, Xu Yuanzhi said to Zhao Jiaren with a stern face: "Zhao County Wei. You have done something in Xinghua Army a little bit."

"I'm worried that the people from Mulan Pi will gather together." Zhao Jiaren said halfway. He didn't want to tell the predictions about the court. When Ding Daquan was the left prime minister, he offended many people. These people were definitely not the enemies of Ding Daquan one day, but had accumulated for a long time. If Ding Daquan himself was under very little pressure, Jia Sidao's recommendation letter would not work.

Xu Yuanzhi was calm and composed, "You don't need to care about this matter. The official family is a smart person. With the wise nature of Lord Ding, there will be no trouble."

Zhao Jiaren had a very weak impression of Song Lizong, and the old emperor did not show any particularly great performance in his later years. Zhao Jiaren was studying hard in his previous life, and when he passed the Jinshi, Song Lizong had already returned to heaven.

Seeing Zhao Jiaren's expression disapprovingly, Xu Yuanzhi continued: "Zhao County Wei, I thought you were young and energetic. When you left Putian, you were the way to drive the people and force the wealthy families. You are a young man, you will definitely not be able to do it there. I didn't say anything. I didn't expect that you were indeed capable and could work by yourself, so the local people believed you, so I called you here. I saw what you did was a Qian hexagram."

"Don't use the hidden dragon? Do you regret the Kanglong?" Zhao Jiaren couldn't help asking.

Xu Yuanzhi was a little surprised. Zhao Jiaren said casually, and he had also read the "Book of Changes". A teenager reads comprehensively. Xu Zhiyuan spoke out his opinion, "A gentleman is always healthy, and he is as vigilant as he is harsh at night, without any fault."

Zhao Jiaren did read the Book of Changes. This sentence means that a gentleman works diligently during the day and stays vigilant at night so that he can be free from disasters. Everyone has different opinions on the Book of Changes, and he doesn’t know how good Xu Yuanzhi is. He can only tentatively say: “The people are angry but not vented…”

"Because of this, you must be able to calm down." Xu Yuanzhi interrupted Zhao Jiaren rudely, "Don't underestimate yourself, think that if you can't do it, then the matter will be gone. Brother Zhao, the thing at this time is that if you can't hold on, you will never be able to push it down again. You have done everything you should do so and have to wait for the follow-up."

Previous experience told Zhao Jiaren that the system of the Song Dynasty was a success, a king and a defeat. Neo-Confucianism was all about trying to occupy the moral commanding heights. Every once in a while, the nonsense of Neo-Confucianism was counterattacked by the practical people. The husbands often had problems and rotated. In such a situation, they could only rely on themselves to do things. The so-called cooperation, he really had no experience in this area. Even Zhao Jiaren had the first time seeing someone who could trust in cooperation. In Zhao Jiaren's mean view, there was a transaction or a cooperation between the Song Dynasty. Looking at Xu Yuanzhi, who was about 40 years old, Zhao Jiaren really wanted to see how sincere his words came from.

"After you return to Putian, you will repair the canal and don't move any other things again. Just mention that the prison has arrived, and this matter can continue." Xu Yuanzhi said his opinion, "Brother Zhao, you must be able to bear it at this time."

The emergency meeting lasted for two days. The officials in charge of guards in Xinghua Army, Quanzhou and Fuzhou discussed a result that was not urgent at all. The attacked Pu family handed over to the help of the left wing army's navy. As for how the Left wing army and the Pu family cooperated, it had nothing to do with the local area.

Because of Zhao Jiaren's radicalism, no one in Xinghua Army wanted to pay attention to him. He was speechless all the way. When he returned to Putian, there were elders waiting for Zhao Jiaren. The person who came to meet Zhao Jiaren was the local elder of Beiqu. After they saw Zhao Jiaren, they cried. It turned out that they went to pay homage to Qian Siniang's temple on New Year's Day. There was a problem in the middle of the journey, and the locals in Mulanpi were noisy.

"Fortunately, the Zhao County Weiwei had long said that we were afraid that someone would cause trouble, so we didn't help but not take action. But this tone was so hard that we couldn't swallow it. The people over there said that Qian Siniang's temple had nothing to do with us! It was obvious that we didn't want to share the water for us." The elder said angrily.

This is what Zhao Jiaren is most worried about. In such an era, there will be many conflicts among people in different villages. When things come to this point, Zhao Jiaren, a small county magistrate, had no room for exercise. Zhao Jiaren suddenly felt that Xu Yuanzhi, the governor of Fuzhou and the sanction of Fujian Road, was a very smart person. When he brought Zhao Jiaren to Fuzhou for a meeting, it meant that Zhao Jiaren actually lost this gap.

As for the explanation of Qian Gua, I probably hope that Zhao Jiaren will not continue to cause trouble in the future. Such a two-pronged approach is really stable.

No matter what he thought, Zhao Jiaren was facing the excited villagers. Zhao Jiaren squeezed out a smile and said loudly: "Everyone. Even if there is no water from Mulan River, we still have water from Yanshou River. We can first repair the canal of Yanshou River, and we can make the harvest this year better. If Zhang Butcher died, we will not eat pigs with hair."

The people's emotions were inspired by Zhao Jiaren's efforts over the past few months. The poor life finally came to an end, and the people were naturally brave. Seeing that Zhao Jiaren showed no sign of admitting their conscience, their emotions quickly recovered.

In the next half month, Zhao Jiaren insisted on repairing the canal. However, one day, someone suddenly rushed over and told Zhao Jiaren who was commanding the digging that something happened in Qian Village and bombed people to death. Zhao Jiaren was shocked and hurried to Qian Village.

Like normal people, Zhao Jiaren is also afraid of death. It would be better if he died in a battle with his enemy Pu family. If he died in such seemingly meaningless things, Zhao Jiaren felt that he could not die with his eyes. Since he was worried about this, he found some clever guys to teach them the technology of blasting. Anyway, it was just a few basic points that Zhao Jiaren considered, and the key technologies of granular gunpowder had not been passed on, and learning these little techniques was of limited significance.

Along the way, Zhao Jiaren couldn't help but feel a little worried. What would happen to the family members of those people after something happened? They would rush up to fight with Zhao Jiaren, and shout, "It's all you killed?" Or more people stared at Zhao Jiaren like they were watching the murderer, questioning the evil way to use gunpowder to explode is a killing person, and then put forward many unrealistic demands?

When I arrived in Qian Village, I saw someone being placed on the ground not far from the blasting point. When I looked at the blood marks and the posture on my body, I felt that the person was no longer helpful. I went over to explore the pulse without any response. I listened to my heartbeat and opened my eyelids to see that there was no sign of life.

At this moment, an old lady came with the help of others. When the old lady saw the people on the ground, she rushed up to try to wake him up.

The elder next to him sighed, "Prince Zhao, the gunpowder has not exploded. I waited for a long time, and this one leaned forward. Unexpectedly, as soon as he passed, the explosives suddenly exploded..."

Zhao Jiaren could think of these things, but what he was worried about was not to cause trouble. This was a life after all. So Zhao Jiaren said: "It's over, let's arrange the funeral."

When the old lady next to her heard this, and she had tried her best to not wake up her son, she burst into tears. The emotion came from the heart, and everyone around her sighed.

What surprised Zhao Jiaren was that although the deceased's relatives cried with their heads in their arms, no one rushed to find Zhao Jiaren to "set the accounts". It was not that they didn't dare, but that no one thought so at all. This surprised Zhao Jiaren.
