Two days later, Huizhou Prefecture, which was only more than a hundred miles away from Lin'an City, was suddenly affected by the earth, the city was destroyed, the rivers were cut off, and countless casualties of the people spread to Lin'an City.

The news came and the government and the country were shaking.

Three or five days later, more disaster information and reports continued to spread to Lin'an City.

Except for Huizhou City, all cities, villages and towns, with a radius of fifty miles near Huizhou City, were affected by disasters during the earthquake, and countless people were destroyed.

After the disaster, the green forest bandits who were originally hidden in the mountains and forests in Huizhou escaped the disaster and took this opportunity to flock to the prefectures in Jiangnan East Road near Huizhou, attacking the city and robbing grain and occupying land. In just a few days, it seemed that the momentum had gradually become stronger.

For a time, the governments of Jiangnan East Road were in a hurry and requested the court to allocate funds, allocate grain, dispatch troops to suppress bandits, disaster relief and other documents flying like snowflakes to the imperial city standing high in the center of the city.

Three days later, Zhao Yun finally had an order to spread it from the imperial city.

It is said that during these three days, Zhao Yun was furious and smashed countless things, including his favorite Fang Yuyan. Of course, Jia Sidao did not see it with his own eyes. He heard others say it, and the person who told him was sitting in front of him at this moment.

"Temporarily lead the prefect of Lin'an Prefecture? I?"

Jia Sidao pointed at his nose, looked at the old god Shi Songzhi and Yu Tianxi in disbelief, and screamed in shock.

He was indeed surprised. The prefect of Lin'an Prefecture was a high-ranking third-rank official. Although it has always been thankless and his butt would definitely not be able to sit long, it was still a third-rank official rank after all, and it was still a real one.

Nothing else, even if it is for the third-rank official rank, it is OK to be gilded. Even if it is only one year old, it will either be promoted to the deputy prime minister of the dynasty of the dynasty or be released from the outside to become a magistrate of a certain rank of appeasement envoy, how glorious is it?

How many people are watching for a good thing? How could they just give themselves this to have qualifications or no qualifications to have a background... Well, there is a background, but it is obviously not strong enough.

Shi Songzhi and Yu Tianxi didn't say anything, and the two looked at Jia Sidao with some fun.

"Shi Xian, above the court discussion, it was not that I and Ziyou recommended Shi Xian to temporarily take the position of Lin'an magistrate, but Qiao Xiang and others took the lead in suggesting that the other several participating magistrates agreed. I and Ziyou... were unable to change the intention of the official family."

Qiao Xingjian actually supports himself as the prefect of Lin'an Prefecture?

"Okay, I probably know what's going on. What kind of virtue is that I, Jia Shixian, can I be so tired that the ministers in the court can support them like this? Hehe, I guess Mr. Yu and Prime Minister Shi will not stay in Lin'an City, right?"

Jia Sidao chuckled coldly and slowly sat down, rubbed his forehead, looked up at the two of them and said.

"The official family has issued an edict to personally lead the imperial army to the prefectures of Jiangnan East Road to suppress bandits. I, in accordance with the official family's will, went to Huizhou to preside over disaster relief matters."

Yu Tianxi did not deny it, nodded with a serious expression.

"So, in other words, I, the prefect of Lin'an Prefecture, not only did I not get any help, but I also had to guard against someone behind me to trip and shoot cold arrows at any time?" Jia Sidao was very dissatisfied in his words.

If the location of the prefect of Lin'an Prefecture was indeed a place that everyone was jealous of before the earthquake, but now it is a useless position. If you don't do it well, throwing a black hat may be the best result.

Last time Shi Songzhi instructed Jia Sidao to give more snacks to the Detective Office, although Jia Sidao did not find the Prince Rong's Mansion to meet the Prince Xi Yuan, he would go to the Privy Council two or three days later to check the various military information reports of the Detective Office.

After the earthquake, a large number of homeless victims formed over a hundred miles of land near Huizhou. Some victims were swept by the bandits who rose up and became bandits. However, more victims rushed towards Lin'an Prefecture in a helpless situation of lack of clothing and food.

According to the Detective Office, at most, in only six or seven days, more than 200,000 victims flocked to Huizhou and other places will enter Lin'an Prefecture. There is no need to think about the final destination of these victims, and they must have only come for Lin'an City.

In Jia Sidao's view, the Detective Office may only report a fraction of the more than 200,000 refugees.

Since last time Zhao Yun ordered Zhao Qi's soldiers in front of the palace to drive all the beggars out of the city, there was no place for beggars to stay in Lin'an City, but the beggars outside the city were still beggars after all. And as Jia Sidao knew, the number of beggars has been increasing. Although it was very slow, the increase in the number was a fact.

If Yu Tianxi hadn't arranged for officials from the Ministry of Revenue to serve porridge every day, he would have probably been everywhere outside Lin'an City.

The biggest crisis has not yet occurred.

That is, after the earthquake, the rivers broke down, the drought could only become more and more serious. However, the big men in the court had not seen each other now and the local area tried hard to cover it up.

This time, the bandits rising from Jiangnan East Road will soon be rampant, and even if some surrounding prefectures can divert some disaster victims, Lin'an City will inevitably be the first choice for those victims.

At the feet of the emperor, the emperor of the Song Dynasty could not watch his people starve and frozen in Lin'an City, and even corpses everywhere, right?

Although the matter has not happened yet, Jia Sidao can imagine that in the last one or two months, more and more disaster victims will definitely appear under Lin'an City.

He believed that Qiao Xingjian, Shi Songzhi and others knew this in their hearts. After all, he could see the letter from the Detective Office, and maybe Qiao Xingjian and Shi Songzhi saw it in more detail.

Qiao Xingjian, Li Mingfu and others pushed him out. Although he was annoyed, he had no choice. Although he was still inexperienced, as the magistrate of Lin'an Prefecture, he was indeed considered the candidate for the magistrate of Lin'an Prefecture.

Therefore, although Qiao Xingjian and others strongly recommend him to temporarily lead the prefect of Lin'an Prefecture, everyone knows that there are some big problems, at least on the surface, they cannot find any problems.

But didn’t Zhao Yun know that this was a pitfall? How could he agree?

"Shi Xian should not be too worried. Although I am not in Lin'an City, I can still say something in the Ministry of Revenue. I have ordered the various officials in the Ministry of Revenue to cooperate with Shi Xian. As long as there is one in the Ministry of Revenue warehouse, Shi Xian can rest assured. And Ziyou also asked Shi Xian for command of the Palace Front Office from the official family for Shi Xian. Shi Xian is now not only the prefect of Lin'an Prefecture, but also the commander of the Palace Front Office."

Yu Tianxi comforted Jia Sidao.

There is no need to worry about some of the Ministry of Revenue warehouses? But do you have the most shortage of food? Are there any drugs? Although Yu Tianxi didn't say it, Jia Sidao knew that the Ministry of Revenue today could not even find a few copper coins except for some large number of people about to rot.

Zhao Yun’s inner warehouse?

Well, if you want to attack Zhao Yun’s inner warehouse, it’s better to take off Zhao Yun’s **** and come directly.

What's more, even if Zhao Yun's inner treasury has money, there is not much left. Otherwise, even though Zhao Yun knew that Huizi had caused public resentment, he would have to issue millions of Huizi to support Meng Gong's battle in Xiangyang?

Jia Sidao had a bitter face and didn't say anything.

"Shi Xian, I and Mr. Yu were both unexpected about this matter. After being promoted to the position of Chief Minister, Yu should have stepped down from the position of Lin'an Prefecture. Except for the old man Qiao, who has been interfering with it, His Majesty has refused to let it go until now. I did not expect that Mr. Qiao would do such a despicable thing.

However, Shi Xian was relieved. Although the Ministry of Revenue and the Treasury were empty, most of the grain, herbs and other substances were transported to Huangzhou and other places to prepare for the battle of Xiangyang, there were countless wealthy merchants and gentry in Lin'an City, and the grain merchants still knew a few people. I will post a post to recommend Shi Xian. The food in their hands may help Shi Xian solve the urgent problem."

Shi Songzhi's words are obviously much more constructive than Yu Tianxi's words.

"Thank you, the general of Shi." Jia Sidao held his fists and bowed, "But, the general of Shi Xiang, Yu Gong, even if Shi Xian didn't say it, I believe both of them knew that in every major disaster, most of the wealthy businessmen and gentry in various places would do something that is easy to live in, stockpiling food, herbs, and other goods, waiting to make money in the national crisis. If they were to let them go, it would be not easy."

"this……"

Shi Songzhi did not expect that Jia Sidao was already considering these things. He knew these facts well and looked at Yu Tianxi, but didn't know how to say them.

Which of those rich businessmen and gentry has all kinds of close relationships with important officials in the court? It really touches the whole body. If they are really unwilling to lend a helping hand, there is really nothing to do.

"Haha, this matter has been a problem for Shi Xian, so Shi Xian had to find out what their words were. It would be enough if they sold food and other goods to Shi Xian at a fair price."

Jia Sidao smiled with a flash of eyes.

"Okay! I'll make arrangements now."

Yu Tianxi looked worried and sold it at a fair price. Is there any silver in the Ministry of Revenue and the treasury? Obviously there is no such thing as Huizi, but how could those merchants ask Huizi to buy food?

...

In early summer of the second year of Jiaxi, the Huizhou earthquake occurred, and refugees rose everywhere. Emperor Zhao Yun of the Song Dynasty issued an edict: Shi Songzhi was promoted to the right prime minister, and was specially promoted to the Jinzi Guanglu Dafu, the Grand Secretary of Guanwen Hall, and also the Privy Council, and also the Supervisor of the military and horse affairs of the five prefectures, including Shi Guang, Huang, Kui, Shi, and other five states, and commanded 100,000 imperial front troops to eliminate refugees; Yu Tianxi was specially promoted to the Jinzi Guanglu Dafu, the Grand Secretary of Guanwen Hall, and was responsible for disaster relief on behalf of Tianzhaoshou Jiangnan East Road. Li Zong, the deputy governor of Jinzi Guanglu Dafu, and was temporarily the prefect of Lin'an Prefecture.

When the imperial edict came out, everyone in the court was shocked, and some were surprised, and some were gloating.

Although Cui Yuzhi, the former right prime minister who was always occupied by the Guangzhou appeasement envoy Cui Yuzhi, but never returned to the court to take office, did not explicitly state that his right prime minister would be abolished, the left and right prime ministers were not other official ranks, and there could be many people. Since Shi Songzhi had been promoted to the right prime minister and the Privy Council, it would be only a few times before Cui Yuzhi's right prime minister was removed.

At the same time, Qiao Xingjian, who was still in the position of the Left Prime Minister, had been deprived of the Privy Council, and the Right Prime Minister Shi Song led the Privy Council affairs, which also set a precedent for the Song Dynasty.

Of course, Li Zongming was specially appointed as the Jinzi Guanglu Dafu, and he is still a political affairs officer now. It seems that the emperor has made some decisions about the position of left prime minister.

Everyone knows that Shi Songzhi has become the right prime minister. According to the customs of the Song Dynasty, there has never been a precedent for anyone to be transferred from the right prime minister to the left prime minister. In other words, Shi Songzhi has lost the qualification of the left prime minister. If nothing unexpected happens, Li Zongmian will obviously be the left prime minister chosen by Zhao Yun.

However, although Shi Songzhi lost the position of the left prime minister, he was the position of the right prime minister to take charge of the Privy Council, which is considered to be the only one.

The one who really surprised people was Jia Sidao. You know, a few months ago, Jia Sidao was just a priest who was not worth a penny. This priest who was not even a clerk, but in just a few months, the priest who was never worth a penny became a priest who was directly a clerk in Fuwenge, who was the third-rank priest, and the third-rank priest of Lin'an Prefecture.

Well, the prefect of Lin'an Prefecture is just a temporary position, but the direct bachelor of Fuwen Pavilion is actually a third-rank rank. Although the direct bachelor of Fuwen Pavilion is the most valuable of the two pavilions, such as Longtu, Tianzhang, Baowen, Xianmo, Huiyou, and Fuwen Pavilion, it has been admitted to the pavilion no matter what.

Only some people know that they only wrote dozens of poems on the bank of West Lake not long ago, whipping a group of scholars, especially Qiao Xiang's beloved grandson, was whipped by many scholars. Jia Sidao, the number one talented man in the Song Dynasty, temporarily led the prefect of Lin'an Prefecture. The various stories behind this are hidden behind.

There are also those who shake their heads and sigh.

...

Jia Sidao didn't know what was going on outside, and he didn't have time to care about them. He didn't want to know what kind of trend it caused after writing dozens of poems in anger. He didn't want to know. He only knew that he was very busy, and he was never busy.

"Brother Zheng, but I didn't expect to see you again so soon?"

Jia Sidao stood at the entrance of the Lin'an Prefecture Government, looked at Zheng Mingxuan walking from the courtyard, clasped his fists and said with a smile.

"The villain Zheng Huaijin has met Lord Man Zun."

Zheng Mingxuan looked at Jia Sidao who was greeting the door of the government hall lobby, with a complicated look.

The last time we met, he took the initiative to come to the door. At that time, he already knew that this smile made you unable to see through the depth of the young powerful man would definitely rise to the top, but he did not expect that it would be so fast.

This is the second time we met, and he invited him. It is only a month since the first meeting. However, this young man who stood at the door of the lobby to welcome him was not only promoted to the prefect of Lin'an, but also entered the cabinet.

The Song Dynasty was established for hundreds of years, but it is not clear in the future. At least when it comes to the cabinet, this young uncle is unprecedented.

But, is it really that simple?

Thinking of the rumors I heard over the days and some of the things that some of the big businessmen who had dated heard during banquets, Zheng Mingxuan felt helpless.

In Lin'an Prefecture, Jia Sidao sat in the main seat, Zheng Mingxuan sat in the first guest seat, and opposite Zheng Mingxuan were Yu Ci, Zhou Tan, Yang Duo and Qin Shou in turn.

Jia Sidao is obviously not a person who only knows how to suffer losses.

The day after Zhao Yun issued the official order, he directly found Qinzheng Hall. After visiting Zhao Yun alone for more than two hours, Jia Sidao left with satisfaction.

On the third day, the Ministry of Personnel issued a series of documents.

Yu Ci, the former governor of Lin'an Prefecture, was promoted to governor of Lin'an Prefecture, Zhou Tan, a Jinshi, was appointed as the co-magistrate of Lin'an Prefecture, Yang Duo, a Jinshi, was appointed as the governor of Lin'an Prefecture, and Qin Shou, a Jinshi, was appointed as the governor of Lin'an Prefecture.

Although they are all minor officials, there is no need to say much about the sensation caused by the sects of the 18980s. One person has achieved enlightenment and has ascended to heaven.

What is most surprising is that Qin Shou, who offended Jia Sidao and finally bowed down, was indeed appreciated by Jia Sidao and became the governor of Lin'an Prefecture, a sixth-rank rank. Nothing is like this in life.

"I guess Brother Zheng already knows in his heart why Shi Xian asked Brother Zheng to come to the mansion today?"

When the few people sat down, Jia Sidao did not talk nonsense, but went straight to the point.

Shi Songzhi and Qiao Xingjian have both left Lin'an City.

In addition to the 100,000 imperial troops who went with Shi Songzhi and Qiao Xingjian, there were only a few grains left in the Song Dynasty and nearly 80% of the silver. Half of this silver was Huizi.

Before Shi Songzhi left, he introduced some famous wealthy merchants and tycoons in Lin'an Prefecture. These wealthy merchants and tycoons controlled nearly half of all kinds of trades, grain, silk, tea, porcelain, medicinal materials, etc. in Lin'an Prefecture and even the Song Dynasty.

The introduction process is very good, but the result is... no.

In front of Shi Songzhi, although those people said it well, Jia Sidao knew from their expressions that those nice words were just excuses. It would be harder to ask these people to give out real money and silver.

When Shi Songzhi and Qiao Xingjian just came to open Lin'an City, Yu Ci, who was instructed by Jia Sidao to closely monitor the prices of various commodities in Lin'an Prefecture and even in the entire south of Jiangnan, had already reported to Jia Sidao that merchants from all walks of life had basically only entered and did not leave, and only earned, but each store had signs of no goods to sell. There were still the same number of cargo ships entering Lin'an City, but there was no food or medicinal materials on the market.

All signs indicate that those big merchants are already stocking up goods, especially grain, and preparing for the next price increase. Several of these big merchants stocking up food are giant merchants who once said at the banquet that they would lose their money and share their worries for the country.

This shows how cunning and greed the merchants are.

At this time, Jia Sidao naturally thought of Zheng Mingxuan who came to him on his own initiative.

I didn't know if I didn't ask, but when I asked Jia Sidao, I realized that Zheng Mingxuan was indeed famous merchants in Lin'an City, Jiangnan, Guangzhou and other places, especially in terms of grain, silk, and medicinal materials, and had a significant influence in the shopping malls of the Song Dynasty.
