Faced with the sudden appearance of "Wenquxing Xunbao" and the turn of public opinion in Kaifeng Prefecture, the new party generally chose to retreat. Since June 11, the Imperial College has become quiet, and no one has to worry about the censorship. Taifu Temple even happily packaged the entire project of the Zhoubei Military Camp to Wanjiaxing under the auspices of Cai Jing. Regarding Song Huizong's behavior of selling the land of Tongwenguan to Wanjiaxing for 900,000 yuan, the new party bosses in Chongzheng Hall did not say a word. However, Fan Chunli, the old party, thought it was very inappropriate and proposed to sell it publicly...

However, there is still a Qingtian in the new party who dares to say no to the treacherous ministers. Guo Zhizhang, the direct scholar of Baowen Pavilion, is such a Guo Qingtian who is known for his integrity and courage.

In his opinion, it was not appropriate for Lu Jia to ask his father and son to demolish the Northern Military Camp in the State, but there must be inside information about the arson!

Although Wu Haogu's high compensation for demolition of the military camp seemed benevolent and righteous on the surface, the result was the worst. The previous forced demolition failed. The military camp was set on fire and the current high-priced demolition of the commercial bank were combined, which was equivalent to banning the future of the official real estate.

Who would dare to do an official bargaining business in Kaifeng Prefecture in the future? Forced demolition is not allowed, and the compensation price is high. Considering that the official bargain cannot be calculated carefully, there will be no profit if it is done. If it causes trouble and loses its official position, it is better to sell land and collect taxes... Because of Fan Chunli's suggestion, the Tongwenguan plot has become the last private land purchase and sale. In the future, any official land must be sold in the direction of public singing and selling in the future!

If the land is gone, the public selling will be sold, in the short term, the storage warehouse may be filled with copper coins and silk. However, while the storage is filled, the wealth of the wealthy merchant will accumulate at a faster rate of several times faster. Just look at how much money the profitable businessman in Wu Haogu made in the two projects "Dutingyi" and "Fengqiu Gate".

Before entering real estate, the Republicans opened by Wuhaogu could earn hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, but after entering the real estate industry, it was possible to earn millions or even millions a year!

Moreover, there are more wealthy merchants in Kaifeng Prefecture than Wu Haogu. It will take a long time for more people to build houses. At that time, the wealth in the world will definitely be concentrated in the hands of merchants at a faster speed...

The Song Dynasty did not suppress the merger. If a large number of wealthy merchants appeared, it would definitely accelerate the concentration of land. By then, countless people who had been fighting in the fight would have no tiles on the ground, and there would be an inch of land in the afternoon!

Isn’t the world going to be in chaos?

So after Zeng Bu, An Tao, Zhao Tingzhi and others chose to shrink, Guo Zhizhang still ordered his subordinates to continue to investigate the arson case in the northern military camp of the Zhoubei... As long as he is still the Kaifeng Prefecture, this case must be investigated!

However, Guo Zhizhang's order to thoroughly investigate was like a rock sinking into the sea. For many days, he didn't even hear back.

Today, the Guo Dafu finally got a little impatient. He asked the public officials of the department affairs (the department affairs refer to the official offices of Quan Zhikai Prefecture) to call Wen Anbang and Si Lu, the Left Army Patrol Office who were responsible for investigating the fire in the northern military camp of the state, to call Bai Shizhong, both of them.

Unlike the Kaifeng Prefecture Principal who always showed his appearance as a famous detective in TV series later generations, the real power of the Kaifeng Prefecture affairs or the Kaifeng Prefecture is not very responsible for judicial trials. Under the affairs of the Kaifeng Prefecture, there are institutions specifically responsible for the investigation of cases, mainly three government agencies: the Seiluo (equivalent to the court) and the Left and Left Military Patrol (equivalent to the Public Security Bureau). In addition, the Kaifeng Prefecture's procurator, judge and the Left and Left and Left Office officials also have certain jurisdictional powers.

Unlike later courts who only handled trials and the division of the Public Security Bureau responsible for catching thieves, the Selu Department of Kaifeng Prefecture, the Northern Song Dynasty was responsible for detaining witnesses (if witnesses were detained in the Song Dynasty), so they could also participate in the investigation of the case.

Moreover, the previous Quanzhi King of Kaifeng Prefecture arrested the soldiers and clerks of Taifu Temple who were involved in the demolition of the military camp in the northern prefecture and were imprisoned in the Silushi prison, so Bai Shizhong, a member of the Kaifeng Prefecture, participated in the investigation from the very beginning.

After instructing the public officials to find Bai Shizhong and Wen Anbang, Guo Zhizhang was drinking tea in his hall lobby while watching the third issue of "Wenquxing Xunbao", which was just released today.

At this time, a drizzle fell from the sky.

The rain hit the eaves, making a light crackling sound.

Guo Zhizhang frowned, opened the newspaper, and read it carefully. Today's Wenquxing Xunbao focused on an article introducing Jiehe Commercial City and the transportation of grain in the north and the south.

This article proposes a canal route that no one dared to imagine in the past does not follow the increasingly silted canal. Instead, the rice and grain are transported from Haizhou to Jiehe Shang City, and then the inland river canal is replaced in Jiehe Shang City, along the Bian River-Yellow River-Bian River and enter Kaifeng Prefecture, or simply transport it to Baibo, Luoyang (Baibo is the end of the Bian River water transportation, and the grain supplied to the Western Army is all landed on Baibo and then transported by carriages and horses in the west).

According to the analysis of the article, although this transportation line looks very long, the cost is not high. Because sea transportation moves with the wind. When the southeast wind blows, the sea boats travel north for hundreds of miles a day, and from Haizhou to Jiehe only takes a few days to ten days. Even if they don’t go this way, they will not be able to go south against the wind and can only wait in Haizhou, Mizhou and other places.

Moreover, the capacity of sea freight is not comparable to that of canals. It is not a problem to transport thousands of stones on a sea ship. Every year, there are always thousands of sea ships waiting for wind in Mizhou. If half of the grain can be transported north, millions of stones can be taken to Jiehe Market.

The Yellow River flowing north also has a considerable transportation capacity, which can transport millions of stones of grain in the south, even if it is a few more discounts on this number, and transporting hundreds of thousands of stones a year can greatly alleviate the food scarcity in Kaifeng Prefecture and the northwest!

Wu Haogu, a tyrant businessman, really has a way...but the Jiehe Shang City is not under the jurisdiction of the imperial court now, and there is no official businessman.

How can this country’s lifeline be controlled by private people?

Just as Guo Zhizhang frowned, the officer on duty outside the door suddenly came to report: "Report to the bachelor, Bai Ganjun and Wenzhangyuan have arrived."

"Let them come in." Guo Zhizhang put down the newspaper, sorted out his robe, and sat upright behind the desk.

Bai Shizhong and Wen Anbang were both in their thirties and serious Jinshi, and were both officials with great futures.

They dared not ignore the case explained by Guo Zhizhang, nor did they dare to, and they could not really find out the case. It was a bit of a dilemma.

So when Guo Zhizhang saw the two of them clearly these days, he saw a sad expression. Today, Guo Zhizhang actually saw an indescribable strange expression on Bai Shizhong's face.

"Mengheng," Guo Zhizhang asked quickly, "but is the arson case in the northern military camp in Zhoubei?"

"Reporting to the bachelor's school, it's not that the arson case in the northern military camp was full of clues." Bai Shizhong replied, "but the officials encountered a strange case."

"A strange case?" Guo Zhizhang said, "Let's hear it."

Bai Shizhong said: "This is a marriage and divorce case for dead people."

"The dead man got married...and still divorced?" Guo Zhizhang laughed, "It sounds fresh."

"Yes," Bai Shizhong said, "and this is a bigamy case that happened between the dead and the living."

"Die and living people, are they bigamy?" Guo Zhizhang smiled, "You can write a marvelous script.

what is going on?"

"This is the thing. The plaintiff in this case is Widow Wang from Beixiang, Kaifeng Prefecture City. She is the wife of Chen Dalang of the Chan Shang Chen family... Chen Dalang is the dead person. The plaintiff is Chen Dalang's brother Chen Erlang and Chen Dalang's ex-wife Yu."

"This dead man was divorced?"

"Lie," Bai Shizhong said, "It was a kind of separation. Because Chen Dalang's ex-wife Yu had nowhere to come out, he was a kind of separation.

But Yu is a child bride and has a good relationship with Chen Dalang's mother, Liu, and is as close as a mother and daughter. At that time, Chen Dalang and Yu divorced, and Liu was very opposed to it."

"This is Chen Dalang's fault," Guo Zhizhang said, "How can you not listen to your mother in marriage?"

"What the scholar said is very true." Bai Shizhong said again, "But the marriage was still divorced... Later, Chen Dalang married Wang as his wife after a wise match. A few years later, Chen Dalang suddenly died of illness and did not leave any descendants. Therefore, the Chen family business was inherited by his younger brother Chen Erlang. At this time, the old lady of Liu summoned the Chen family's relatives and announced that his son's divorce from Yu was invalid, and then took Yu back to his home to become a eldest wife."

"So the widow Wang came to sue?"

Bai Shizhong said: "I didn't come to sue immediately. The Wang family swallowed their anger in the Chen family for more than a year, and only came to sue after the old lady Liu died."

"It's indeed a bizarre case." Guo Zhizhang laughed, "Meng Heng, Anzhi (Wen Anbang), what do you think?"

Bai Shizhong said: "Since Chen Dalang and Yu have divorced in this case, they are not husband and wife. The old lady of Liu took Yu back to her son's main wife after her son's death. Although it is understandable, it is incompatible with the law and should be invalid. Chen Dalang's main wife was always Wang who married later."

Wen Anbang shook his head and said, "What Bai Zhanjun said is not appropriate, because Chen Dalang and his wife divorced, and his mother disagreed. Moreover, although Yu had committed one of the seven sonless things, the wife Chen Dalang had no children after marrying, which shows that the problem of having no son lies with Chen Dalang.

In addition, Yu is a child bride, and he is a child who has no place to marry and has no place to divorce. It is illegal to divorce his wife before."

Bai Shizhong retorted: "But Chen Dalang and Yu family are separated and distributed to their family property, so that Yu family can have food and clothing without worries, and it is not considered to be homeless, right?"

"Heli was forced," Wen Anbang said immediately, "It was Chen Dalang who relied on his family's great cause to bully his original wife and ignored my mother's advice. It was unfilial! So it should be invalid."
