Chapter 120 Be cautious

Seeing that the carriage was not moving slowly, Du Zhongxiao said: "This is not a trivial matter. When these people are lazy and do not realize that the train is coming, they will have several lives when they hit them! We will wait here and call Li Zhizhou to deal with this matter!"

Fan Zhongyan said: "Fortune judgment, forget it. Li Zhizhou held a banquet at the restaurant by the river in the evening, and it would not be too late to say it at that time."

Du Zhongxiao was afraid that a lawsuit would affect the development of the railway, so he was about to distinguish. Xiang Zong, who was on the other hand, coughed lightly and said, "What Mr. Fan said makes sense. Why should I invite Li Zhizhou for some trivial matters? When the banquet is at night, let him strictly restrain him in the future. It just so happens that all the magistrates are here, and they will tell them to know that this matter is not feasible."

After saying that, he gave Du Zhongxiao a wink. Du Zhongxiao understood it carefully, and no longer distinguished it. The five people continued to move forward.

Walking on the road, Xiang Zong deliberately lags behind a few steps and whispers to Du Zhongxiao: "Yunjudg, you misunderstood what Mr. Fan means."

Du Zhongxiao was a little confused and asked, "Why did you say this?"

Xiang Zong said: "This is a railway built by the government, and people are not allowed to walk. Look at those cars, what are they walking calmly, and they are in the city. If I guess correctly, most of them are given permission from local officials. Why do the officials allow them to walk? Of course, they have collected money. If this matter is allowed by Li Zhizhou, wouldn't it be embarrassing to call him over? Let's talk about it later, it will not be despised by Li Zhizhou."

Du Zhongxiao nodded and then suddenly realized that Fan Zhongyan was a person who became a master in the officialdom, and this must have been the meaning just now.

It would be fine if he was an ordinary magistrate. Du Zhongxiao, as a fortune-teller, had the responsibility of an inspector. Li Fugui was different from others. He was very fame and talented. He was called in front of so many people and would definitely hold grudges in the future. His father Li Shu was known for his narrow-mindedness in the officialdom and was also a minister with great qualifications. If he was hated by the father and son, he might suffer any loss in the future.

Du Zhongxiao was a young Jinshi. He had no ups and downs in the officialdom and had been smooth sailing. Xia Shu, the important minister of the court who had worked with, praised him and took him to Hedong Road. Zheng Jian was not in the right way to deal with others, and his personality was consistent with Du Zhongxiao. He had never encountered any illegal tricks to harm others. With the promotion of his official position, he was afraid that he would not be so smooth in the future. If he was not careful, he would not know when he would offend others.

At this time, officials were not qualified to show off their status than two provinces and above. In terms of local governments, the transshipment commander and the prosecution commander are in charge of affairs along the way, and have the power of prosecutors, and should be above prefectures. In fact, the prefecture is a complete political unit. The prefecture holds all the power and takes care of all the affairs of a state. The transshipment commander and the prosecution commander are often unable to do anything to the prefectures. Not to mention, many prefectures are important officials, and important places are generally officials with very high qualifications. If you accidentally become your immediate boss after a few years, you will become your boss.

As a local official, various relationships are quite complicated. If you are not careful, your career will have twists and turns. It is different from the relationship between superiors and subordinates with distinct hierarchies in later generations. Not to mention the magistrate and governor, even the magistrate and the officials of the court cannot be said to be the same.

Since arriving at Jingxi Road, Du Zhongxiao has focused on field affairs and has little contact with local officials, and has no care when he acts without any care. In the future, the field affairs moved to Zaoyang County, but it is different from before. You must think twice when doing things.

Needless to mention that Dengzhou is Fan Zhongyan is, Wang Zhu of Xiangzhou, the west, was once a Hanlin scholar. He was impeached by the censor to come to Xiangzhou because he was a mixed-sitting female prostitute during the God-Sports Association. He was also an important official. Moreover, Xiangzhou is the capital of the deputy envoy of Jingxi Road Transportation and the governor of Jianghuai Delivery. The situation is much more complicated than when he was in Ye County. The railway was built to Xiangzhou, which directly affected the transportation of the Han River Basin and the Chuanxia area. The transport judge Ma Zun did not come this time, and he still didn't know the attitude of the Jianghuai Delivery Department.

At this time, the Jianghuai Shipping Department did not have a chief envoy, and the deputy envoy Xu Yuan was responsible for all matters. Xu Yuan was originally a shipping judge in Xiangzhou. Because of his outstanding political achievements, he was appointed as a shipping envoy. Because of his low qualifications, he exercised the power of the chief envoy. This is not an ordinary person, but the most outstanding shipping envoy in decades. His attitude may directly affect the layout of the railway.

Even Xiang Zong, who was close to Du Zhongxiao, was also the grandson of the prime minister of the previous dynasty, a real relative, and had more relations with the DPRK-China.

After walking for a while, Du Zhongxiao carefully recalled what had happened just now and sighed secretly. He was from a poor family, and the court did not discriminate against Jinshi from a poor family, and even used it specifically, but in the officialdom, he lacked a network of relationships. In addition to doing his best, he should pay special attention to his work in the future and try to be smooth. Otherwise, the merits earned by hard work will be gone by a word and the future will be worrying.

Not far away, I saw a wine company with the words "Authentic Ye County Wine and Food" written outside. Xiang Zong smiled and said, "It was built by the Iron Supervisor, and Ye County has become a prosperous place. Even the food there can be made of the world outside. Since I have come here, I will go in and drink two glasses?"

Several people agreed and walked into the shop.

After finding the head and sitting down, Xiang Zong called the shopkeeper and said, "Master, you write about Ye County wine and food here, but where are you?"

The shopkeeper bowed: "I grew up in Ye County since I was a child, and I opened a restaurant there for decades. Because my daughter married to Tangzhou, she had to move here. She had no choice but to make a living, so she had to return to her old career."

Xiang Zong said: "Ye County is just a small county town, what's special about it?"

The shopkeeper said proudly: "Officials, although Ye County is small, there is a Baiting Iron Supervisor. There are tens of thousands of workers in the iron supervisor. They have no shortage of money and food every month. They have mixed tastes and are rich in food, so they are no less than Kaifeng Prefecture. No matter where the dishes are, as long as the officials can tell, they can make them in a small shop!"

Xiang Zong smiled and shook his head, and said to Ouyang Xiu on the side: "You have stayed in the Iron Supervisory for a few days. If you have any delicious food, order some, and I will try it. If it is not authentic, we will not give the owner money."

The shopkeeper said: "What are the words of the official? The young man has opened a store in Ye County for decades, so how can he be unauthentic!"

Song Qi smiled and said, "Okay, when I was in the Iron Supervisor, I had a squirrel mandarin fish that was very good, sweet and sour. You went to choose the best carp to make, let's try it. Also, there are many swamps there, and the roast duck is very delicious, so I can make one."

The shopkeeper said: "If you make squirrel mandarin fish, don't use carp or green fish. It's better to use mandarin fish."

Du Zhongxiao said: "You are right. But do you still sell mandarin fish here?"

The shopkeeper said: "The mandarin fish in my store are all sent from Suizhou, but there are not many in Tangzhou city."

Seeing that the shopkeeper was serious, I thought it would be fine. I could transport fish from other places, so I thought I had some skills in this shop. I ordered a few and made it. I asked the shopkeeper to choose the best wine and give it two pots of it, just to think it was lunch.

When the shopkeeper left, Ouyang Xiu said: "Although Suizhou is close to Tangzhou, the water and soil are actually very different. There are rivers everywhere and rainfall, which is actually a land of fish and rice. Although Tangzhou is also a place for growing rice, it always feels that it is a bit bad."

Speaking of this, Ouyang Xiu suddenly remembered and asked Du Zhongxiao: "Yun Judgment, when I was in the Iron Supervision a few days ago, I heard that the field business planted cotton last year? A few years ago, I got a jibebu, which was very gentle and valuable. If I could grow cotton here, why not let the field business plant grow large?"
