Chapter 147

The rise of the Dajin Kingdom coincided with the decline of the Liao and Song Dynasties, and Dajin's own martial power was indeed brought to the extreme in those few short years.It can be said that since ancient times, Dajin has been a model for those who conquered a big country with a small group of people.

However, because of the fact that there are few real twists and turns in taking the world's fastest speed, Dajin has very little experience in governance, and the constraints on government affairs at the grassroots level are extremely careless, even after the founding of the People's Republic of China a hundred years ago, this is still the case.

If you only look at the center, it seems that there are all the necessary government offices, and the laws and regulations that should be there are strict, and their appearance is bright and bright, which is no different from previous dynasties.But in fact, the court officials and the common people seem to live in two different worlds.Even when Emperor Sejong was around, the superiors compared themselves to Yao and Shun, but the people at the bottom, no matter Haner or Jurchen, were often trapped in poverty.Today, the administration at the top is full of mistakes, and the bottom is even more chaotic.

Taking Zhigu Village as an example, since Dajin moved the capital to Yanjing in the first year of Zhenyuan and changed its name to Zhongdu, the Sanchakou area, where many rivers converge, was used as a transshipment hub for water transportation in spring and autumn on Shandong and Hebei roads.Grain is of course very important, and goods and travel from all over the country are also transferred here. Daily boats and boats are connected with each other, and the density is as dense as scales.

However, the imperial court never formally managed Zhigu Village.

At first glance, the imperial court set up a water transportation department in Jingzhou, which was responsible for the transfer of the so-called six river warehouses in the upper reaches of the river; and added a Tianjin River patrol officer under the Dushuijian to manage the banks of the Caohe River; then Zhigu Village, Qingzhou The official titles of state officials in Baodi, Bazhou, and Bazhou all carry the titles of "promoting and controlling Caohe affairs", while the county officials and official titles of Baodi, Wuqing, and Jinghai counties all carry "management and control of Caohe affairs".

It seems that there are many officials in charge, but all the officials in the yamen are only facing Caohe itself, so inside and outside the huge Zhigu village, there is no one who directly manages the civil affairs except for the generals who are in charge of security.

In terms of prosperity and wealth, Zhigu Village has been developed for decades, and it is not inferior to any town in Dajin.At least the three cities in the north of Daxing Prefecture in the central capital are not comparable to this place.But why can't the court see such a great place under the nose?

When it comes to search and accumulation, Dajin has always been as good as the previous dynasties, why is it that it suddenly raises its hands high in this area?

Three months ago, in the evening.

The clouds in the sky gradually deepened, covering a crescent moon, the starlight was dim, and the road under our feet could not be seen clearly, and the roar of the sea tide intruding into the river on the right was louder and louder, which was very frightening.

Li Yun moved his hands together and walked slowly along the Xin'an Haiyan on the north bank of the Tianjin River.

His companion, Sun Jiang, held a lantern to illuminate the way.In fact, there is an open and straight road on the top of Haiyan. Li Yun has walked back and forth countless times, and he can't go wrong with his eyes closed.

Li Yun is Li Ting's younger brother, two years younger than Li Ting, only eighteen this year.In the third year of Da'an, the imperial court signed an army in Zhongdu, and the Li brothers led the young men from the four townships to join the conscripts. They fought fiercely for dozens of times, and gradually gathered their troops.Among them, of course, it was due to Li Ting's bravery and ruthless tactics.Although Li Yun is young, he has a careful and steady mind, is considerate in handling things, and has meritorious service.

At this time, Li Yun walked slowly, thinking slowly.

Previously, the Li brothers were just the leaders of the Fulang Boys. They sometimes extorted money along the streets, and sometimes intervened in the private salt sale in Baodi County, but they never dared to reach out to the surrounding area of ​​Zhigu Village.But now, he haunts Zhigu village all day long to inquire inside and outside, and even opened a shop, pretending that he wants to do business here... It will inevitably arouse doubts from many parties.

This is inevitable.

Why does the imperial court ignore this rich land?Because this is the forbidden area of ​​many nobles in the court, every business here is backed by nobles from the court and nobles, and even the direct descendants of the nobles directly preside over the affairs here.

Everything you can think of, whether it is salt, wine, tea, vinegar, incense and other imperial monopoly goods, or the world's curiosities, land and sea department stores, are all transshipped here before they are sent to Zhongdu.The process of transshipment transactions is the process of many nobles grabbing big profits; and not only inland river tank ships are used to transport huge amounts of goods, but also an extremely large sea fleet.

As early as the reign of King Zhenglong of Hailing, the important shipyards of Daikin were located along the Lushui River.At that time, Su Baoheng, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, and Xiemao Ali, a veteran of the Navy, supervised the construction of warships here. In just a few years, they built thousands of third-class warships.

After the fall of King Hailing, these shipyards and boatmen were also divided up by many nobles.So the nobles controlled the fleet with one hand and the power of smuggling with the other, making a lot of money in the Zhigu village at the foot of the emperor outside the city of Zhongdu.

From ordinary people's point of view, this Zhigu village is where the business is booming. In fact, the more you know the details, the less you dare to act rashly.Because those who are really qualified to distribute the fat in the bureau are the real dignitaries of the Jin Dynasty, and outsiders are only qualified to wander around and pick up some leftovers.

Those who don't have enough weight will have to suffer if they rashly join the game.

What Li Yun was thinking about, Sun Jiang was also thinking about.He couldn't help but asked: "The documents brought by Mr. Jinzhi are really useful? After all, Prime Minister Xu has been down for seventeen or eighteen years, and now Xu is participating in politics... Hehe, the weight is not enough. Besides, he has nothing to do with Xu Canzheng Does it matter? This document has made seventeen or eight detours, and the writing is not rigid, I am afraid it will make people look down on us!"

Li Yun said with a smile: "I want them to take it lightly."

"how do I say this?"

"In normal times, we can slowly take root and test things out slowly, but the situation in Zhongdu City is dangerous recently, and Mr. Guo Lang may make a big move at any time... We have to gain a foothold here as soon as possible and control a considerable amount of power." Li Yun stopped in his tracks: "So, we need a chance."

Sun Jiang was puzzled: "What opportunity?"

"Mr. Jinzhi is indeed a past person, and there is a lawsuit on his body. If we take out our document, people will definitely be despised. Immediately, someone jumped out and tried to send us away. As long as we are convinced Those who jump out naturally prove their own strength."

Li Yun looked at the row upon row of houses on the other side of the Tianjin River: "The aristocrats look unattainable, but in fact, the means of doing things are the same as us hooligans. The one who jumped out first must be the one with a higher status in Zhigu Village." A family that is low and eager to perform in front of the big men above."

Sun Jiang understood: "Let's gather our brothers and beat this family hard. Whoever shows up will beat them, and beat their brains. As long as the hands and tails are cleaned up, the big men above will also be able to weigh our weight. , maybe, instead give us a couple of bites of this family’s fleshy bones.”

It seems a bit too much, but the hooligans are already picking up the leftovers of the nobles above, so they don't think there is any problem.

Seeing Li Yun nodding, Sun Jiang was also complacent.Just as he was about to say a few more sentences, he suddenly stared at the other side of the Tianjin River, tongue-tied: "Burn, burn, burn!"

Li Yun's face also changed: "It's our shop! Our warehouse! How dare you set fire to it!"

He could see across the wide river, there were still figures running in the fire, some were running away, and some were chasing them, killing them all with knives and guns!
Those people are all Baodi villagers that Li Yun has reunited with recently. How many people will die this time?These nobles in Zhongdu turned out to be more unreasonable and unscrupulous than local ruffians!
He shouted to Sun Jiang: "Let's go back quickly!"

Before he finished speaking, he saw several gray-brown figures jumping out of the tall grass behind Sun Jiang.

Sun Jiang saw that Li Yun's expression suddenly changed, and his heart immediately trembled. He threw away the lantern and turned around with the waist knife in his hand.However, as soon as he turned around, he saw a man covered with blades of grass behind him and a big knife held high in his hand.

Before Sun Jiang could make any resistance movements, the long knife slashed obliquely, instantly cutting off the bones in his shoulders and neck, cutting open the flesh and large blood vessels.Sun Jiang's head and half of his neck were rushed aside by his own anger and blood.The blood continued to spurt into the air, and then turned into blood beads, crackling and falling down.

Li Yun was also drawing his sword.As soon as he put his hand on the handle of the knife, a gust of wind hit him from behind, he only dodged a little, and then the back of his neck was in sharp pain, and his eyes were blood red.If it is an ordinary person, he will faint immediately after eating this.But Li Yun had also fought for several years in the end, he endured the pain, staggered and rushed forward.

This road is on the northern edge of the sea. There are tall grasses and shrubs beside the road, and a large depression behind it.

Li Yun dashed through the bushes, then fell to the ground.

He crossed over the rocky slope and fell into the depression.For a while, only the bang bang of the body and the stone collided, and then the sound of water rushing.There was no one to be seen in the night, and after a while, the sound of the water was also covered by the roar of the sea washing the sea, and could not be heard.

"Catch up! Catch up and kill this kid!" Someone shouted from the top of the cave.

　The Xiaozhigu area developed explosively in the Yuan Dynasty when Zhigu was transformed into Haijin Town in the third year of Yanyou, and when the Zhigu Maritime Rice Warehouse was added in the Zhiyuan Dynasty. There seems to be no record of commercial prosperity in the history books of the Jin Dynasty.However, based on common sense, Zhigu Village in the Jin Dynasty was also the center of inland water transportation, so there is no reason why it was so remote that no local government office was set up.In addition, when discussing the commodity economy of the Jin Dynasty, the smuggling led by officials cannot be avoided.So, uh huh, that's it for writing...don't take it seriously.
