Su Shi, who had already passed his destiny, was almost in his forties, rarely had shy times.

When his eyes fell from the beams of the roof and pretended to ignore the surroundings, he began to excuse himself for his own profiteering. Of course, the purpose was not to wake up, but to show that it was difficult for him.

"When I was in Hangzhou, I organized a corvee service of 200,000 people, and dredged the West Lake in just one winter."

"When I came to Yingzhou, I found that Yingzhou suffered more floods than Hangzhou and had a larger range. The people suffered more serious losses. So I had the idea of ​​dredging rivers and lakes, so I used tens of thousands of corvee labor, and I didn't even do half of the project in a winter." Li Kui was unable to say what Su Shi was. The problem was that Su Shi felt quite wronged.

There are money in Hangzhou and some people still have food, and a major project worth 200,000 yuan can be done as soon as possible. But what about Yingzhou? The treasury has less than 200,000 guan left, and it cannot accomplish great things, which has dragged down Su Shi's kindness to do things for the people.

What state is Yingzhou and what state is Hangzhou? Can it be compared?

Among the richest cities in the Song Dynasty, Hangzhou has always had a place. Most of the other cities are in the Central Plains, which is in Henan in later generations. It includes the four most important capitals of the Song Dynasty.

Tokyo Bianliang (later generation Kaifeng);

Xijing Luoyang;

Yingtian Prefecture, Nanjing, Yingtian Prefecture of the Song Dynasty was Shangqiu. Do you feel very frustrated? But there is no way. Emperor Taizu thought that his place of Longxing was Songzhou. After ascending the throne, he kept thinking about it and wanted to establish the capital. If it were not for restraining the Western Xia and Kaifeng had too great advantages, he would not choose to establish the capital Kaifeng, but chose Songzhou, which was in Shangqiu in later generations;

The last Daming Prefecture (later Puyang), also known as Beijing in the Song Dynasty.

It became the most important super city in the Song Dynasty. After these cities, there were the pursuit of prefectures such as Hangzhou and Jiangning.

But unlike the Central Plains cities, there are patrols in Hangzhou, that is, maritime trading cities. The degree of prosperity is obvious.

Yingzhou is just a prefecture on the edge of the Huai River. If it weren't for the Yingshui River and Cai River, together with the canal ditches, few people would have known this city in the Song Dynasty.

The Cai River is one of the three major water systems in Bianliang. The other two are Wuzhang River and Bian River.

"Then what?"

Zhang Su’s question was very inappropriate.

Su Shi muttered: "I owe a little!"

Zhang Su no longer dared to ask. He felt a very bad feeling that the treasury of Yingzhou was probably emptied in his unreliable Uncle Shi.

Li Kui asked in a titanic head, "What does it mean if you owe a little?"

Su Shi was not in the mood to say that Gao Qiu was helpless. Who told him to be the manager? He came forward and said: "It was the government who borrowed some money from the rich people in the city. Not much, it was only tens of thousands of yuan."

"Do you have to pay back the borrowed money?"

“That’s natural.”

"What to use?"

"Tax! This year's summer tax, autumn tax, and commercial tax are almost the same."

Li Kui felt that the possibility of this matter being ruined in the end was very likely. Su Shi not only did not take his own money seriously, but also did not take the money from the government seriously. What's even more terrible is that Su Shi seemed to not even abide by the rules in the officialdom, which is terrible. If he didn't follow the rules in the officialdom, he would be excluded by the officialdom. This is probably another reason why Su Shi had a very poor popularity in the officialdom.

Being his successor is usually very unlucky. Unless Su Shi had time to take action against the treasury, he was transferred to the place. Otherwise, Su Shi would have prepared a super project with a slap in his head because of his happiness. Fortunately, the Sansi envoy was not his, otherwise the treasury of the Song Dynasty would be mysterious.

As for the rules of the officialdom, it is very simple. Being an official is not for yourself, but for human nature, and is a face of the eunuch group. It is like the saying goes: Stay at the forefront of a person and meet each other in the future.

As for the rules of the officialdom, no matter which dynasty or generation, as an official, you not only have to give face to your ex, but also give your successor a way out. Give face to your ex, it will be a short answer to understand. Some of the previous person’s faults in the official position. If the successor thinks that the problem is not big, he should help cover it up or erase it. This is called a aftermath. After all, the possibility of an ex's promotion is very high. If the official is promoted at a higher level, he will always offend Shangguan officials and will not be favored wherever he goes.

As for giving the successor a way out, it is easy to understand.

The treasury has sufficient money and food, so that the heirs will not be able to return in a desperate situation because they have no money or food in their hands. This is a way for the successor to survive. Being an official must establish authority, but at the same time, the way to be an official is to be an official. Only power can only bring hatred and resentment, and it is impossible to gain the trust and respect of subordinates. Only kindness and power can be used to combine hardness and softness and be harmonious with the upper and lower levels.

But Su Shi didn't think so at all.

He was completely on his own standpoint, starting with good intentions, then he used force, and tried hard, and finally put himself in.

Fortunately, Su Shi's reputation is very famous and his status is high enough. His name as a bachelor in Longtu Pavilion is very useful, because unless the successor is a bad guy who is taken off from the position of prime minister and deputy prime minister, the next magistrate in Yingzhou must be lower than that of Su Shi, who is the third rank of official rank. This caused the successor to be wronged and looked at the empty treasury with tears in his eyes when the official seal was handed over, and there is still a great possibility that he would inherit the large number of loan documents left by Su Shi.

The ending was extremely miserable, but there was no place to make sense.

As for the successor who was a high-ranking official who was taken down from the court, there would be no objection. Anyway, he was exiled and he would be the same no matter how he lived.

Li Kui felt that it was impossible to count on Su Shi. His master, his emotional intelligence, was worrying, and high IQ was useless. Instead, he would offend people everywhere because he was too smart and had low emotional intelligence.

So he could only hope that Zhang Suo, although Zhang Dun was removed from his position as deputy prime minister and Privy Councilor.

But he still retains his identity as a bachelor. Since Wang Anshi passed away, Zhang Dun has become the banner of the reformists, and the reformists have followed him. Didn’t Zhang Suo say that Jiangning paid Cai to the system?

It must be Zhang Dun's person.

Seeing Zhang Dun's son asking for help, he couldn't adapt to it?

Li Kui looked up at Su Shi and Su Guo. Both of them looked dejected, as if they were helpless in the face of the current predicament. Li Kui had no choice but to take action, the third generation of Su family, personally. He asked Zhang to ask, and the possibility of success was naturally much lower than Su Shi, and much lower than Su Guo...

Because Su Shi is Zhang Dun's friend, Zhang Su has to call Su Shi a name, "Shi Shu", Su Guo and Zhang Su brothers are like each other. Zhang Su does not regard Su Guo's face, but also depends on Su Shi's face.

But what about Li Kui?

Who cares about his face?

What's more, Zhang Su once stubbornly believed that Li Kui was unreliable.

In desperation, Li Kui asked with difficulty: "That master..."

Zhang Su opened his mouth and said to himself: He was timid and really didn't dare to recognize Li Kui as his nephew, but it was hard to refuse in front of Su Shi. He felt a little uncomfortable.

Isn’t it good to call Zhang Guanren just now?

Zhang Su's identity is an official, which was called so by the Song Dynasty. The names are usually children of officials or people with official titles.

But Zhang Su wouldn't know anything. Li Kui had a strong burden on calling a man, an official.

In his subconscious, the title of "official person" is not the name of men for men at all.

Zhang Su nodded helplessly and said, "You have something to say. This is a matter when you work hard together. Don't hide your weaknesses."

Li Kui supported his upper body and asked, "I don't know who can be in harmony with the magistrate of Jiangning, the master just mentioned.

"Cai Bian is probably really not comfortable. Even if Brother Zhang goes, he will not hesitate when he should. He is such a person, and he is so stubborn that it makes people feel headache." Before Zhang Su could speak, Su Shi explained.

Cai Bian?

Isn’t this person Cai Jing’s brother?

And they are brothers.

In the history of the Song Dynasty, two pairs of brothers were the most famous in the imperial examinations. One was the brothers of Su Shi and Su Zhe, and the other was the brothers of Cai Jing and Cai Bian.

Su Shi and Su Zhe became famous for their literary talent.

The Cai Jing and Cai Bian brothers became famous for their high-ranking calligraphy officials, and they both served as prime ministers.

Moreover, Cai Bian has another identity, Wang Anshi's son-in-law.

This person must be the supporter and executor of the reformist faction, but at the same time, he must be a very stubborn person. Later, he didn't like his brother Cai Jing, and even his brother wanted to impeach him.
