Chapter 222

Qin Huaidao has no concept of the relatives on his mother's side, because since he can remember, it seems that he has no contacts!

"Well, there is a person named Liu Pingyi outside the house, do you know him?" Qin Huaidao thought about it for a while and asked the housekeeper.

"Back to the young master, I've heard of it, but I haven't been in touch for many years, so I may not remember it." Steward Guan recalled for a moment, and then spoke.

"Call him in!" Qin Huaidao hesitated for a while, but still asked the housekeeper to call him in.

"I can't be wrong, after all, he himself said that he was your cousin, and besides, I asked him about his resume and household registration, and what he said was indeed from Yingchuan." Cheng looked at Qin Huaidao and said.

"Well, let's take a look, if it's really from my mother's side, it's okay to meet them!" Qin Huaidao smiled and said.

After all, there is such a relationship, and if you really don't help, it's too unkind.

But it also depends on how much he is corrupt, if he is an insatiable person, then there is no need to help such a person.

Soon, Liu Pingyi arrived at Qin Huaidao's living room.

"I've seen Hu Guogong, I've seen two little grandfathers!" A middle-aged man, dressed in a rather gorgeous robe, arrived at Qin Huaidao's side, and began to clasp his fists and salute the three of them at Qin Huaidao and Cheng Chuhei.

"Sit!" Qin Huaidao smiled and pointed to the position next to him and said.

"Thank you, Hu Guogong!" Liu Pingyi walked to the side very cautiously.

In his heart, he was a little excited, if Qin Huaidao saved him, then he would definitely not be able to die.

"What do you want to see me? Are you corrupt too? How much is corrupt? Let's hear it, I'll see how I can save it. Qin Huaidao went straight to the point, asking clearly first.

"Yes, Hu Guogong, the small ones shouldn't be obsessed with money, but there is no way if you don't take it, the corruption of the workshop, it's not up to us, there are still many people below, including the deputy, and the master craftsman, they all have to take money, if you don't take it, you won't be able to stand firm in the workshop at all."

I have been the person in charge of the pen and ink workshop for three years, and I have been greedy for about 1,500 yuan in total, of which about 800 yuan on the account book, and about 700 yuan for other purchased materials!

Hu Guogong, if you don't take it, you can't take it, if you don't take it, they will squeeze us out, I just came to the capital to take up a post at that time, if I am squeezed out, I may not even have the opportunity to fill the vacancy! Liu Pingyi sat there and said to Qin Huaidao with a painful expression.

"Well, that's too much, isn't it? Isn't this forcing people to a dead end? Cheng sat there and scolded.

Qin Huaidao didn't say anything, but sat there and thought about it.

According to Liu Pingyi, he made 1,500 yuan in three years, so the following people must add up to more than this amount.

"You have been in office for three years, how much are the people below greedy for ink?" Qin Huaidao looked at Liu Pingyi and asked.

"It will only be more than me, not less than me, this money, in fact, can't be checked, a lot of it can't be checked.

Let's just talk about pen and ink, we do want to purchase high-quality pen and ink, but these things are only for His Majesty and the princes to use, they don't use much in a year, and we are ten times the amount of it.

The medium pen and ink materials are mainly used by various yamen, and the price is also inflated, plus many raw materials, which are controlled by the family, and when we go to purchase, they will also cooperate with the outside and falsely report the price.

I can't find out this money at all, but it's a lot of money! Liu Pingyi sat there and said to Qin Huaidao.

"I knew it was so! None of these people are innocent. Qin Huaidao stood up and said with his hands behind his back.

"Well, it's not the workshop leaders who are really hateful, but the master craftsmen of the workshop, who rely on their skills, plus those people, most of them are trained by the family, and they almost have the final say.

We, the people in charge, actually want to tie up with those masters, that is, masters! Liu Pingyi continued.

"Well, I've heard of this thing, it seems that there is such a thing, those masters, don't look at him without grade, but he is very rich, many masters, and there are several concubines in the family." Yu Chi Baolin heard it and nodded, he had heard of such a thing.

"Hmm!" Qin Huaidao nodded, thinking about how to deal with these masters.

If these masters are not dealt with, then even if those officials are replaced, they will continue to be corrupt like this.

After all, people who are used to taking big money, and suddenly they don't have so much money for them, they will be very unaccustomed to it!

"In the workshop, except for the master master, no one understands the craft?" Qin Huaidao looked at Liu Pingyi and asked.

"Some workshops have them, some don't, it depends on whether the master will really teach the apprentice, some key skills, those masters will only pass on to their sons, not to their apprentices." Liu Pingyi then said to Qin Huaidao.

Qin Huaidao nodded, then walked over and said to Liu Pingyi: "Don't talk about this, I haven't been in contact with my relatives in Yingchuan for several years, do my mother's relatives still have relatives?" ”

"Yes, yes, Hu Guogong, your grandfather is still alive, and at the same time, the three uncles are also there, among which your second uncle serves as the governor of Fenyang, and the third uncle serves as the governor of Luoyang Mansion!" Liu Pingyi sat there and said very excitedly.

"Well, what about my uncle?" When Qin Huaidao heard it, he asked.

"Uncle is also my lobby brother, now in the house, because of the war in the early years, he injured a leg, and now he is in charge of things at home, mainly the family business!" Liu Pingyi immediately introduced Qin Huaidao.

"Oh!" Qin Huaidao nodded.

"Can they be named and how they are communicated?" Qin Huaidao continued to ask at Liu Pingyi.

"Yes, yes!" Liu Pingyi hurriedly nodded and said.

"Hmm. Butler, call someone to serve with pen and ink. Qin Huaidao turned his head and commanded the housekeeper behind him.

"Okay, young master!" The housekeeper immediately ordered the housekeepers to go and prepare.

And Liu Pingyi stood up and followed the housekeeper to the side room.

"So, those officials are actually ghosts for the dead?" Yu Chi Baolin frowned and said.

"It can't be regarded as a substitute for the dead, and none of them have been wronged.

Let's put it this way, for example, the craftsmen of the Liu family are masters in the workshop of the person in charge of the Wang family, while the people of the Wang family are masters in the workshop in charge of the Lu family, and the people of the Lu family are craftsmen in the workshop in charge of the Liu family.

They are like the roots of a big tree, intertwined, looking at those masters threatening those in charge, in fact, it is the family for the sake of the overall good, they have all infiltrated together. Qin Huaidao smiled and said to Yu Chi Baolin and the two of them.

"It makes sense, but how to check it? It is not very realistic to replace those masters, there may be many skills that the workers below cannot master, and who can guarantee that those workers are not from the family? When they become masters, will it be the same? Cheng looked at Qin Huaidao and asked.

Qin Huaidao sat there and didn't speak, thinking about this in his head.

"I don't think it's difficult, if the family doesn't get rid of it, things on the side of the workshop can't be avoided." Yu Chi Baolin sat there and said.

"It's definitely difficult, but it's not completely impossible, look, I don't need to offend the family to death, in fact, those craftsmen rely on the family to protect them.

In addition to the family, although those craftsmen will still be greedy for ink, they dare not be so blatant, the key here is still in the hands of the family!

There are no officials to protect the wealth of their family, what is the use of them getting so much money? Isn't it going to be raided yet? After Qin Huaidao figured this out, he said to the two of them.

The two of them nodded.

Soon, Liu Pingyi wrote down the mailing address and contact person of Qin Huaidao's relatives in Yingchuan.

Qin Huaidao nodded, asked him to sit down, and drank tea.

Liu Pingyi was very worried at the moment, of course, he also had hope in his heart, as long as Qin Huaidao came to save himself, then he would definitely not die.

"Well, what about you, be prepared to be fined, I'll try my best to find a way for you for a capital crime, but money must be punished!" Qin Huaidao looked at Liu Pingyi and said.

Liu Ping nodded gratefully, knowing that as long as he could save his life, he would be fined, and the rest would be fined, it would be better than a full house of beheadings.

Today, three houses have been raided, and the people of those three families have been arrested and put in prison, so the other workshop leaders are afraid!

If you die, forget it, if you don't get it right, you will raid your home or even behead all over the house, and this will be fatal.

After Qin Huaidao chatted with a few of them in the living room for a while, they took their leave.

Early the next morning, after Qin Huaidao got up, he took Qin Zhili and the six of them and rode to the palace.

The six of them also rode horses, and two of them did not know how to ride horses, and it was the soldiers of the house who led them.

Qin Huaidao explained to the two people, and after returning home, he went to the martial arts training ground to practice horseback riding, and the two students naturally nodded and agreed!

By the time Qin Huaidao arrived at the Ministry of Industry, there were already many officials on the Ministry of Industry.

When they saw Qin Huaidao, they kept nodding and smiling, but most of them were the people in charge of the workshop.

They saw Qin Huaidao come in, and the one who was smiling was ugly.

Qin Huaidao didn't pay attention to them, but took the six students and walked straight inside.

As soon as I arrived at the door of my room, I saw that a mahogany table, a chair, and some bookshelves were already set up at the door, as well as a set of fine porcelain, and a set of teapots and cups for making tea.

"Well, open the door and get all those things inside." Qin Huaidao said to the soldiers behind him.

"Yes, young master!" When the soldiers heard this, they immediately went over to help.

"Qin Shilang, can you be considered satisfied?" At this time, the two officials came to Qin Huaidao's side, looked at Qin Huaidao with a very flattering smile, and kept rubbing their palms, seeing that they were very nervous.
