Chapter 249 Longling Mountain

On August 12th, on a seemingly ordinary day, Sun Pengyuan, the head of the household case in Yongfu County, Guizhou, held an autumn outing reunion on Lingshan, a place of birth in Longlingchuan. Zhao Jin was also invited and went there happily.

Sun Pengyuan is the best clerk who has been in Guangnan West Road. He is in a different place, but he has become a well-off position in the household case. It has to be said that his abilities are impressive.

The name of Lingshan is very famous, but it is actually not a big mountain. In the Guangnan West Road, which is full of mountains, Lingshan is considered short. However, in the early morning, the fog is everywhere, and the beautiful peaks are a bit like a fairy mountain.

"How powerful is this mountain! But that's all!" Yang Wenguang, who came with him, muttered in disappointment.

Zhao Qian smiled and said, "Zhongrong, don't you hear Mr. Mengde's "Inscription on the Humble Room"? The mountain is not high, but the immortals are famous. The water is not deep, but the dragons are spiritual. Isn't this thing talking about in front of you?"

Feng Shenji smiled and said, "General Yang, you may not know that the reason why this Lingshan is called Lingshan is because Long Lingchuan is often discovered by people! In a short while, General Yang may have a glimpse of such a rare wonder in the world!"

Yang Wenguang was half-believing and half-doubted, saying, "Is there really a dragon?"

Feng Shenji thought about it, but he didn't have the courage to boast, and said, "I don't know about this official, but every two or three years, there will always be people who see a long black shadow twisting and swimming by Long Lingchuan. At first, someone said it was a big snake, but someone quickly refuted it because the long darkness can be seen vaguely. Therefore, folk legends say that this is a dragon! This nameless stream and hill are also named Long Lingchuan and Lingshan."

Yang Wenguang immediately became excited and said, "It really should be a good look!"

Zhao Qian smiled unanimously. While the conversation was about, the group had already arrived at the foot of the mountain. A large family at the foot of the mountain invested in the construction of a pavilion with red columns and green tiles, which had a unique view.

Several young men dressed in scholars were standing in the pavilion. When they saw Zhao Jin and his group, they immediately came out. "Students, pay homage to the wine-sacrificing master!"

Zhao Qian immediately turned over from Que Yuewuqiu, helped the leader up and said with a smile: "I haven't met for several years, and I'm all tall and strong! If I remember correctly, you should be Sun Pengyuan, Sun Ziyue? Isn't it a pity that if you have friends coming from afar! This name is good! Haha!"

Sun Pengyuan was moved and said, "Mr. Jijiu still remembers the students, which really touched the students!"

Zhao Qian smiled, helped the others up one by one, and said the names of these people one by one. His natural expression silently gave these scholars far away a feeling of being relatives.

"You have suffered in the past few years!" Zhao Qian squeezed the hands of several scholars vigorously, sighing infinitely.

In front of others, the clerk who looked light and calm now couldn't help but have tears in his eyes. No one understood. Without Zhao Jin, their lives would be so miserable. People were in a foreign land and naturally were oppressed everywhere. Fortunately, there were not many scholars on the West Road of Guangnan, so they could barely squeeze out their heads by relying on their ability and fame. If they went to other prefectures and counties, they would probably be excluded and would not know what they would be like.

However, everyone is no longer a child. Even though they are moved, reason will quickly control their emotions. I don’t know what they think. On the surface, the group tied the horses to the foot of the mountain and sent soldiers to guard them, and they went up the mountain with laughter and laughter.

When you reach the mountainside, you can see a dense bamboo forest, and the fresh atmosphere makes people feel energetic. There is also an artificial path among the bamboo forest. After passing the path, there is a grassland, and there are several pavilions built on the grassland. I think people who come to Lingshan to visit will come here.

At this moment, there were hundreds of people scattered on the grass, and there was not enough place to do it. It didn’t matter. Just put the oil cloth on the ground and just sit down. In fact, although it was in the Song Dynasty, the Song people were not unfamiliar with kneeling, but rather a high-end and atmospheric sitting posture.

When he saw Zhao Jin entering the grassland, the scholars who talked immediately stopped their voices, and the scholars who were sitting immediately stood up. Everyone greeted Zhao Jin enthusiastically. Although Zhao Jin did not remember everyone's names, his words were funny but not intimate, which made many people feel close in their hearts.

"Sacrifice, should you go on stage to discuss?" Sun Pengyuan walked forward and lowered his voice.

Zhao Jin nodded and said, "Please trouble you!"

"This is the duty of students and wait!" Sun Pengyuan bowed slightly to show his humility.

On the grassland, near Longlingchuan, a temporary platform has been built with wooden boards.

When the scholars saw Zhao Jin walking up the platform, they slowly calmed down their voices. Without giving instructions, they had naturally gathered under the platform.

Zhao Qian sorted out his clothes and walked up to the platform. Zhao Qian on the platform did not have bright clothes. Zhao Qian, who liked the simple one, just wore a gray-black hunting suit, with a white marble silk belt wrapped around his waist, a simple horny ring hanging on the belt, and a pair of black official boots with a thousand-layer white background.

After getting on the platform, he was not in a hurry to speak. Zhao Qian looked around first, and then said, "I'm very happy to see you all, you are all my students! But I know that you have complaints about me in your heart! Why do we go to Lingnan to be clerks after we were born in the Imperial Academy? Live in this poor and bad water place?"

Hearing this, the harmonious atmosphere on the surface immediately became a little weird. They didn't know whether to admit it or hide it. In fact, about a thousand people have graduated from the Imperial College until now, but only less than 30% of the students chose the academy's arrangements and became clerks.

All of this is because the place arranged is basically Guangnan West Road. Except for the lack of solutions, who would like to come here?

It would be impossible to say that they had no complaints about Zhao Jin. After all, they originally thought they would be officials in Bianliang, but they would not be able to be officials in the prefectures and counties in Central Plains and Hebei. Who would have thought that the academy run by the dignified prince would be so depressed?

"Don't feel wronged, don't feel resentful! Don't ask what I can do for you, but ask what you did for this country and our Song Dynasty! Confucius said: "What you ask for is near, so you can get it without effort!" You also understand the meaning of this sentence! There is nothing in this world that can be obtained without effort! If you want to get it, you must give something. How much you give, you can get it!"

"I ask you, what have you paid? What did you do for the Song Dynasty? Do you feel you lost by getting the position of clerk? I also know that your salary is very low, the lowest is only seven cents a day! A month is only 210 cents. If this money is in Bianliang, it is only enough to buy three dou of rice, and supporting one person is not enough! But is this the reason why you accept bribes on a large scale? I said in the Imperial Academy that there must be a bottom line in everything! A person without a bottom line will exist in the world and only become a disaster! Do you still have a bottom line now?"

Many people lowered their heads in shame in Zhao Qin's words. Zhao Qin was right, they were indeed complaining about the world.

Under Zhao Chen's thunder and thunder, no one could withstand it.

"Are you just abandoned what you learned in the Imperial Academy? Isn't you going to have any pursuit in this world? Do you all hope to be a member of the officials and get bad reviews? When you left, the people lit firecrackers, as happy as the New Year? Do you want to stay in the position of clerks? In the past, it was said that no one would appreciate you, but now?"

"Prince! The student knew his mistake!" A scholar gritted his teeth and stood up bravely.

"Prince! All the students knew they were wrong!" One scholar after another stood up.

"I believe in you!" Zhao Qian nodded without hesitation.

First, with thunder and then with favor. All clerks from the Imperial Academy have been returned to Zhao Sheng!

After getting off the high platform, Zhao Qian left.

But in fact, Zhao Qian just changed his clothes and applied his face with the barbarian potion that Feng Shenji secretly bought. After applying it on his face, his fair face turned yellow immediately and his beard was glued to his beard. Unless he was very close and familiar with Zhao Qian, no one would find that an ordinary scholar was King Wei!

On the other hand, the substitute naturally wore Zhao Jin's clothes and returned to Guizhou City under the escort of Yang Wenguang, Feng Shenji and other several confidants.

Zhao Chen did this to meet with Sun Pengyuan and other leaders among the students of the Imperial Academy.

In addition to Sun Pengyuan, he was also the chief of the military case in Xuanhua County, Yongzhou, Tian Yixian, and He Wu, the secretary of Kunlun Pass in Pennsylvania. Regarding them, Zhao Qin entered into a deep discussion and asked them to set an example and bring other clerks from the Imperial Academy to do their jobs, and asked them to collect evidence of the crimes of officials and clerks from various places.

Especially in the subsequent request to collect evidence, Zhao Qian vaguely stated that if those corrupt officials are defeated, they will be promoted to the throne.

Speaking of which, I have to thank Song Renzong. If it were in other places, how could Sun Pengyuan and Tian Yixian be promoted?

This is not the case with Guangnan West Road. Guangnan West Road is remote and poor, and it is poor. Basically, unless it is demoted, has no connections, offends, and not many officials come back to Guangnan West Road. Because of this, when the vacant position is released, Zhao Qin only needs to recommend it, even if Song Renzong knows that Zhao Qin wants to intervene in his confidant, he has no choice.

There are seven or eight vacancies, and you can force some people to come. What about ten or twenty? Even fifty or sixty?

In addition, Zhao Qian also secretly met Liu Chang'an, a clerk of Rongzhou. It is said that his ancestors were still Han royal family. Liu Chang'an presented a complete mineral map. Zhao Qian was very satisfied with this. He didn't take long to transfer Liu Chang'an to Guizhou as a clerk. Although it was just a small promotion on the surface. The problem is that although there is no war in Rongzhou and Yizhou, the small conflict has not stopped. Moreover, another war is inevitable. Who is willing to stay in this dangerous place?

Compared with this small transfer order, civil and military officials on Guangnan West Road were more concerned about Zhao Chen's Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th.
