When Cheng Youliang was standing at the door and thinking nonsense, the door suddenly opened, Han Jiang walked out with a respectful face, and immediately saluted when he saw Cheng Youliang: "I don't know that Governor Cheng came in person, and the officials have missed the distance, and they are at fault, at fault." ”

Cheng Youliang was stunned.

Before he could react, he heard Han Jiang reprimanding: "What are you doing, how can you let Governor Cheng wait outside the door, and don't hurry up to prepare for the banquet." ”

Cheng Youliang came back to his senses: "No, no, this official is here for official business, for official business." ”

"Please."

Cheng Youliang felt more and more that something was wrong, he couldn't understand why Han Jiang was doing this, so he hurriedly stepped aside: "Jian Anbo, please." ”

Han Jiang immediately pushed: "Don't dare, don't dare, it's still prefect Cheng's prefect to ask in advance." ”

Cheng Youliang pushed again.

"It's better to build an uncle, please."

Han Jiang put away his smile and walked into the courtyard without looking back, and he didn't be polite to Cheng Youliang again.

Cheng Youliang, who was cold there, was stunned, what he never expected was that someone pushed him behind his back and pushed him into the courtyard, and then the door of the Yamen of the Guangnan East Road Transfer Department had been closed.

Just when Cheng Youliang was stunned, he had already been set up. Just like that, he was put in the study of the former Guangnan East Road transfer envoy, and then pressed on a chair.

Han Jiang sat behind the desk: "Give you three choices, Ben Bo originally didn't plan to pay attention to a little person like you." Since you delivered it yourself, you're embarrassed. ”

"I, I'm dignified."

Han Jiang interrupted Cheng Youliang: "Okay, you're not as good as a dog." Today's officials in the Great Song Dynasty are divided into three kinds, such as a good official like Hong Mai, a loose official like Jing Bo, who is a mixed life and a thin mud, and finally a very good official who is very good at standing behind or being greedy or incorruptible. What kind of officer are you? ”

Cheng Youliang stood tall: "This official is upright and serves the people." ”

"Save it, Qian Hao."

Qian Hao stood up: "Eight years ago, you were still a county magistrate, there was a woman who lost her husband, and Li Zheng reported that the woman was suspected of not abiding by women's morality, and after verification, it was determined that her husband died of a stroke. Then a small official in the county cracked the case, which is the world-famous double nail case, and you take the credit for this case as your own, so it became the general judgment of Hezhou. ”

Cheng Youliang's face changed greatly: "Hu, Hu, it's nonsense." ”

Qian Hao sighed: "Originally, I didn't expect it, but I did some homework at home before leaving Lin'an, and I found out after checking the files of many officials on Guangnan East Road." There are some things that you don't know, who you went to get promoted, that is, your eldest lady took out the money from the dowry, and the money naturally fell into the hands of the person who did the work. ”

"This!" Cheng Youliang will stop.

Qian Hao continued: "Later, your wife's dowry became more and more abundant, especially after you came to Guangzhou, you didn't stretch out your hand, but the steward next to your wife is running a few shops very well, without your official position, those shops are afraid that they will not be able to gain a foothold in Guangzhou City, an old inkstone is said to be an object of the Tang Dynasty's Xiangguo, and hundreds of Wen become thousands of pieces." ”

Qian Hao finally said: "The way your eldest lady took was Su Shidan's concubine Lu. ”

Han Jiang picked up the teacup: "You are really not as good as a dog." ”

Qian Hao gave Han Jiang a half-salute: "Shaojun, this is not right. The eagle dog was originally a compliment, and the family of Cheng Zhifu sent filial piety to the Han Mansion every year in accordance with the rules, and the Han Mansion naturally protected it, but it lacked a respect for the Han Mansion. ”

Cheng Youliang sweated like rain.

Han Jiang said: "Okay, don't be nervous, I didn't take you seriously, and you are not worthy of being the doorman of my Han family, now I will give you three choices, the first one, go back to your nest, you are not allowed to show your head for a day in Guangzhou City." The second option was to copy the Guangzhou City Bo Division for me, and then lock up all the tax collectors for trial. ”

"The last one, leave your seal, and go back to your den. When Ben Shaojun finishes his work, he will naturally reward you with a bone. ”

After Han Jiang finished speaking, Qian Hao inserted an incense stick next to him.

When this incense is burned, Cheng Youliang has to make a choice.

When the incense burned to a third of the time, Cheng Youliang stood up: "Please give instructions to the young gentleman." ”

Han Jiang nodded: "Go and collect taxes, how many people are missing from the Guangzhou Mansion." According to the law of the Song Dynasty, the tax of the people who returned to the Ming Dynasty was also collected, and the 200,000 merchants in Guangzhou Mansion had to make up for what they had not paid before. Tomorrow this time, I want to see the effect, and if someone escapes and does not pay taxes, take money from your family property to make up for it. ”

"This, yes, yes." Cheng You's conscience was bitter, but he could only retreat.

After Cheng Youliang left, Qian Hao said: "Shaojun, this is not in accordance with the rules. ”

"I know, it's really unruly, coercing a high-ranking local official, and if someone is impeached, it's a big problem. The trouble of impeachment is actually nothing, the real trouble is what you say, this is not in accordance with the rules. But I hate this kind of person, I hate it very much, Chen Ziqiang is better than him. ”

Qian Hao turned to Han Jiang and stood in front of him: "Shaojun, when I say non-conformity, I don't mean the court, nor does I mean the important minister, or who will impeach Shaojun. When I say non-conformity, I mean my subordinates, or General Liu Huai. ”

Han Jiang didn't understand.

Qian Hao took a deep breath: "Shaojun, people like Cheng Youliang will damage the trust of many people. ”

"Rest assured, I need someone to seal the dock in Guangzhou Mansion, preferably not our people. You're right, it's better not to use people like Cheng Youliang, but you are too pedantic, he has his value. ”

"Yes, Shaojun."

Although he didn't understand, Qian Hao didn't ask again, he expressed his thoughts, which was enough.

It can be suggested, but it can't affect Han Jiang's decision.

Qian Hao always thought that Liu Huai and others would definitely hate Cheng Youliang very much, but the truth was the opposite, at least after Li Er knew about it, he thought that Cheng Youliang was very good.

It's not that Cheng Youliang is good, but Cheng Youliang is doing a good job.

The wharf of Guangzhou Prefecture is closed, and no ship except military ships can leave the port, but all merchants who have lived in Guangzhou Prefecture for more than one year and stay in Guangzhou Prefecture for more than half a year every year are required to pay the personnel tax.

This official document came out, but it caused a huge wave.

Taxes per person.

The merchants were angry, was the Song court poor and crazy?

At this time, Han Jiang quietly left Guangzhou Mansion, in Li Er's words, someone is on the top of the cylinder, and it is the right way to hurry up and come back to clean up the mess after finishing the serious business.

On the ship from Guangzhou Mansion to Leizhou, Han Jiang stood at the bow of the boat, and Xin Ji handed a letter to Han Jiang with both hands: "My father asks the lord to put this letter in the coffin of Uncle Tongfu." ”

Han Jiang opened the letter and only glanced at it.

There was only one poem in the letter, and the content of the poem was read by later generations.

Chen Liang died, and Xin Qijian sent his feelings with poetry.
