Chapter 351: Lord Guo's Confession (2)

Speaking of Guo Peilin's going to inspect the salt farms in a few days, Pan Er got up and went to the west wing where he lived last night to get a booklet, and said with a wry smile: "Fourth brother, Lord Guo not only wants to recruit troops and horses for you, but also to help the imperial court raise money." Didn't the imperial court open a new case of donations, and the local government should persuade donations, and the salt farms should ask for the same. ”

Han Xiufeng was not surprised by this, after all, the salt farm is so big, and there are so many people, there will definitely be some well-off families who want to donate tops and even officials. But when I took the booklet and flipped through it, I had an eye-opening feeling.

Those who can't pass the exam want to donate the background of a prison student, fifty-four taels. plus fifty-four taels is "ten percent of prison students" approved for the integrated township test; "Ten percent of the prisoners" want to donate tribute, seventy-two taels; "Ten percent of prison students" and "ten percent of tribute students" want to donate only forty taels from the rank of nine grades, and donate one hundred taels to the title of county minister, salt ambassador or salt governor; In Renzhi County, he donated 519 taels with the same title, and the alternate magistrate donated 634 taels with the same title......

It only costs four taels of silver to donate to the military prison students, but if you want to donate another 80 percent of the total title, you have to make up the other 80 percent, pay 20 taels to become "10 percent of the military prison students", and donate another 60 taels to donate the general title, and so on and so on.

In addition, civil officials can donate flower feathers, military attaches can donate blue feathers, civil and military attaches can donate ranks, records and various canons, and dismissed civil and military officials can donate to rehabilitate ...... In short, there is everything, and it is clear what you want to donate to the right seat.

Han Xiufeng never thought that the imperial court would compile and print such a detailed list of various donations in order to raise salaries, and couldn't help but ask with a smile: "Does Lord Guo want the brothers in the camp to donate all the money they can, and want me to start a start?" ”

Pan Er said with a bitter face: "Fourth brother, Master Guo can't help it, you know the salt affairs, if he can't even do this errand, he really can't deal with the saint." ”

"That's right, the Holy Lord asked him to act as the Yun Division, he can't do nothing," Han Xiufeng sighed lightly and asked curiously, "Changsheng, have you donated it?" ”

Pan Er said embarrassedly: "Fourth brother, I can't compare with you, although I have an errand but I am only an alternate salt transportation division experience, it is not good to donate a grade record, and then donating a top belt is useless except for a good sound, so I simply spent two hundred taels to help my mother-in-law donate the seal of the widow." ”

"You really know how to donate, this seal is a good donation, your mother-in-law must be very happy to know it."

"Fourth brother, you also donate to your sister-in-law, you are now from the fifth grade, if you help your sister-in-law donate, it will not be a fate, but a fate."

"The Decree is also pleasant, and it is not the Lady of the Decree. But you're right, I've wronged her in the past two years, and I don't even know how long I'll have to wronged her, I can't go home, I can't take care of her and the baby, I can only give her dignity. Thinking of Qin'er, who was far away in Ba County's hometown, Han Xiufeng's heart was sour, and he subconsciously flipped through the pamphlet to see how much silver it cost to donate a pleasant canon.

"Don't turn it over, I'll help you see it, it only costs five hundred taels to help my sister-in-law donate the canon." Pan Er smiled, and continued: "Fourth brother, although you are not a regular seal official, you are not too much different, I don't know how many people are red-eyed. Now that it is not peaceful today, and it is so difficult for officials to do, there are some things that have to be guarded against, and some preparations have to be made. ”

How could Han Xiufeng not hear the meaning of his words, thinking that the imperial court was so harsh on officials, he asked in a low voice: "Are you saying that I should donate to the higher grade and donate the record?" ”

Pan Er looked back behind him and said thoughtfully: "Fourth brother, others don't know that you know, how harsh the imperial court is on civil officials who have the responsibility of defending the land and military attaches who lead troops to fight!" It's really only allowed to win a big battle and not to lose a battle, even if you win a hundred battles, as long as you lose a battle, you will be impeached, you will be punished, you are not without money, why don't you donate upgrades, don't donate records? And this is not only for yourself, but also to help Lord Guo. ”

Han Xiufeng felt that his words had some truth, and asked with a smile: "How many levels do you think it is appropriate to add a few levels and record a few times?" ”

"Naturally, the more the better, but donating the extra level is not cheap, donating the plus level costs five hundred taels, donating a record costs one hundred and twenty-five taels, in the end donate how many levels, how many records, or you have your own idea."

"Then add the fifth-level record twice," Han Xiufeng put down the booklet, picked up the dishes and chopsticks and said, "Isn't Hualing also able to donate, help me donate it too!" Master Guo treats me well, his business is my business, but these brothers in the camp don't have any money, so I can only donate more. ”

Pan Er was stunned for a moment, and then calculated: "Add the fifth level record twice, that is, two thousand seven hundred and fifty taels, one thousand taels of flower feathers, plus the donation of my sister-in-law's life, all of them will cost four thousand two hundred and fifty taels." Fourth brother, this is not a small amount of money, you have to think about it! ”

"Isn't the money earned for spending, four thousand two hundred and fifty taels is four thousand two hundred and fifty taels, and I'll ask Han Bo to give you a silver ticket later." Han Xiufeng held the chopsticks and waved, thinking about it, he couldn't help but smile: "What's more, this silver is not in vain, and if there is an official document, I can write 'Qin Ci from the top of the five-grade belt to reward Dai Hualing and specially grant two Huai Salt Transportation Division Deputy Envoy plus five levels of record Han twice', how long is this official name, bluffing can also bluff people, hahahaha!" ”

"That's right, this official name is long and majestic." Looking at Han Xiufeng's high-spirited appearance, Pan Er sighed again: "Fourth brother, Guo Tong asked us to call you Fourth Master, at that time we thought that shouting like this sounded affectionate, and as soon as outsiders heard it, they knew that Master Guo regarded you as his own person." It wasn't until the Holy Lord's decree that I knew that we hadn't gone to Taizhou yet, and before we saw Lord Guo, Lord Guo had already gone up to protect you. ”

"But what does this have to do with shouting or not calling my fourth master."

"Yes, think about it, Lord Guo of the Yunsi Yamen is the largest, then Sun Yuntong from the fourth grade and Yang Jian Jian from the fifth grade, and then there is the fourth brother you, aren't you the fourth master of the Yunsi Yamen?"

"It's true, except for Lord Guo, Sun Jiagan and Taiba, there is no bigger official than me in the entire Yunsi Yamen, hahaha." Han Xiufeng took a sip of porridge and asked curiously: "By the way, we are guarding Wanfu Bridge, Ambassador Han has made a great contribution, did Lord Guo say that he wants to carry it?" ”

"Lord Guo didn't know that Ambassador Han and us were fellow villagers before, until you went to Taizhou. Guo Daren originally planned to transfer Sun Yuntong to the acting Tongzhou Branch, and planned to bring Ambassador Han to be the transportation judge, and go to Dongtai to replace Sun Yuntong as the acting Taizhou Branch, after all, Ambassador Han had already donated from the top belt of Liupin. Later, I thought about it and felt that it would be better to let Ambassador Han be the field official, Guo Daren said that the field official is the same as the magistrate of the county, and if he is no longer the transportation department, whether it is recruiting people or money and food, Ambassador Han can still help. ”

"The county magistrate might as well be in charge?"

"That's what it means."

"It's good for us, but won't Ambassador Han be wronged in this way?" Han Xiufeng muttered.

"Fourth brother, Lord Guo will not wronged Ambassador Han. Mr. Guo said that the judgment was promoted and subsidized, and at the same time, he was acting in charge of Anfengchang. Huaizhong Huainan more than 20 games, although Anfeng Field is not the largest, but the stove households and households should be the most, and the ambassador of the Anfeng Field Salt Division is also the fattest in the more than 20 fields. ”

"That's fine, otherwise I'll really explain it to Ambassador Han."

The two chatted while eating, and talked about the first two Huai salt envoys, the former Yangzhou prefect and the former Ganquan, Yizhen, and Jiangdu prefects. Pan Er simply stood up again and went to the room to get a stack of Beijing newspapers and mansion banknotes brought from the Yunsi Yamen, Han Xiufeng was about to look at it, Dean Gu and Wang Qianli arrived.

"Master Han, what are you looking at?"

"Looking at the Beijing News, I just want to see what the imperial court plans to do to clean up Liu Liangju and Dan Minglun."

Wang Qianli had extorted a large sum of money from those prisoners, and he also wanted to know what would happen to those prisoners, so he couldn't help but pick up the Beijing report: "Master Han, you go on eating, I'll read it to you." ”

"It's fine."

As soon as Han Xiufeng's words fell, Dean Gu sighed: "Beijing News and Di Banknotes are good things, I saw them once in Yangzhou in seven or eight years. Master Han, I, Gu Xincheng, can be rewarded by the emperor, and I can see this Beijing newspaper and the banknotes, all of which are your light! ”

"Dean Gu, what are you talking about, are we our own people? Sit, sit down. ”

"Okay, Da En doesn't say thank you, don't say anything." Dean Gu sat down beside Han Xiufeng, turned around and said, "Qianli, hurry up and read it!" ”

"Oh, just read it." Wang Qianli flipped to the one involving Liu Liangju and others, and read in a frustrated voice: "Tell the cabinet, Qi Shan, etc., to investigate the whereabouts of the lost civil and military officers in Yangzhou." Due to the eastward movement of the bandits, Yangzhou is the most tightly blocked. Yang Dianbang, the governor of Caoyun, was specially ordered to supervise Dan Minglun, the former envoy of the two Huai salt, and Liu Liangju, the envoy of the two Huai salt, to handle the blockage. It was the thieves who scurried into the city of Yang. Yang Dianbang retreated upstream in advance. However, Minglun, Liu Liangju, and Zhang Tingrui, the governor of Yangzhou Prefecture, have no whereabouts so far, and they are really guilty of no culpability. Yang Dianbang, Dan Minglun, Liu Liangju, Zhang Tingrui, and Liang Yuandi, the magistrate of Ganquan County, were all dismissed from their posts and handed over to the Criminal Department for conviction and conviction respectively. ”

"This is early, is there anything recent?" Han Xiufeng asked subconsciously.

"Yes, there's another copy." Wang Qianli glanced up, and then read with a copy of the banknote: "Yang Yizeng, the governor of the Jiangnan River, complies with the officials of the prefectures and counties near Yangzhou, and seems to be at odds with the bandits. The people's hearts are not solid, and they are all local mediocre officials. Such unscrupulous officials, Ren Yiyi violated the corpse, and they all knew the wisdom of people, and I don't know whether the superintendent was ashamed. If you do the usual investigation, you will cover it up. Confused by the theory of accumulating yin gong, I don't know that such people are not sorry. If you bend to protect it. Then if he dies, why should he be angry? To do such a thing, to lose benevolence, is to be ...... without yin work"

Dean Gu, who had just been rewarded, felt that the current emperor was the best emperor, and when he heard this, he clenched his fists and said with a headache: "Master Han, as soon as I hear this holy message, I know that the emperor's heart is deeply broken by these greedy people who are afraid of death, otherwise I will never say the words of my ignorant people!" ”

Without waiting for Han Xiufeng to speak, Wang Qianli, who felt that Liu Liangju, Dan Minglun and Zhang Tingrui, would die early, and Wang Qianli, who no longer had to worry about retaliation if he died, blurted out: "These people who are greedy for life and afraid of death are really guilty and should be killed!" If you don't kill heaven, it's hard to tolerate! ”

Han Xiufeng couldn't help but smile and said, "Yes, it should be killed, it should be punished!" ”
