The inspection system of the Tang Dynasty was created and perfected by Liu Yan, and by this time, the inspection of the courts along the Caoyun and the main roads in the country was roughly divided into three levels: Liuhou, Patrol and Sub-Inspection.

The position of staying behind is the most important, and there are only a few places in the country, such as Chang'an, Luoyang, Heyin, Yangzhou, etc., which run through the lifeblood of the national economy, so the official is called "Liuhou", usually with the title of the inspector Lang Zhong (or Wai Lang) that is, the Imperial History (or the Imperial History in the Palace), which belongs to the 10-11 levels in the official position system;

Further down is the local patrol court, the official is called "Zhi Mouyuan", usually titled as the palace servant imperial history, supervising the imperial history, belonging to the 11-15 level;

As for the lower branch of the court, the official is called "Zhi a certain court", and the official title is also the lowest, many of them are trial marble judges, Taichang Temple Xielu Lang or Fengli Lang, and even Wei Zuoguan, which belongs to level 16 and above.

For example, there was a person named Liu Maozhen in the Tang Dynasty, who originally went to Sizhou to participate in the military, but because of his ability to manage money, he was "hooked" by the Salt and Iron Division at that time, so he served as the governor of the Jijin Branch Patrol Yuan.

Of course, even if there is a hook officer, it is at the level of the sub-patrol court. For Wang Haichao or Meng Zhongyang, when they came to Yang Zi and Shoulu to serve as court officials, they were all directly appointed by the Du Branch Division and the Salt and Iron Transfer Department (that is, Pei Yanling and Zhang Pang), and when they were "suspended", they did not need to participate in the selection of officials, but were directly recommended by Du Zhi and Yan Tie, and together with the marching Sima, judge, and secretary in charge under the envoy of Jie Du, they participated in an assessment called "Winter Recommendation", and the promotion was much more convenient than that of ordinary officials.

Yangzidu's backyard was originally in charge of the two taxes and transshipment, but before Wang Haichao annexed the original Yangtze Salt and Iron Patrol Courtyard into his own hands, it can be said that the two taxes and salt profits were all under his management, which was his confidence in Huainan's "self-contained", and it was also the reason why Meng Zhongyang had a very heavy holiday with him.

Of course, during this meeting, Wang Haichao was very respectful to Gao Yue.

In addition to Gao Yue being a Zhongshu squire, who theoretically has leadership over the three divisions, there is a more important one:

Previously, salt merchants in Jingmen, Hanyang, and Yicheng were swept away, and many of them were Yangzhou's agents there.

The anxious Yangzhou salt merchants collectively found Wang Haichao, hoping that Gao Yue could open the net, release the people, and return the goods.

"Among the teachers in Yue, he has a deep relationship with Xiao Pei of the judgment branch, and he cherishes each other. You were recommended by Master Pei, so you are also a friend of Yue. At this moment, Gao Yue was completely different from Yang Yuanqing, he put on an improvisable face, first enthusiastically asked Wang Haichao to drink tea, and then he suddenly had a frosty face, and accentuated his tone, "So Yue told him frankly, the matter of the salt merchant is not something you should ask for after being retained, and it is not something you can ask for at all. ”

As soon as Wang Haichao heard this, he saw Gao Yue's eyes sharp, and immediately felt a chill on his back.

He is also a character who knows that Yangzi stays in the backyard with the title of serving the imperial history, if he is really in the imperial history platform, he can still resist Gao Yue for two rounds, but in this situation, as long as this senior elder who controls more than ten daos, and holds the same military and political power in the middle of the book and the important town, he can crush him to death like an ant if he stretches out a little finger - but this group of salt merchants was arrested by the military government of the three towns of Shannan Dongdao, Jingnan, and Eyue, but the big salt merchants flocked to plead with him, the chief of the patrol court, and they were caught in the middle, and they did have unspeakable suffering.

"Ji Gong...... Actually, I'm just worried about what I need to calm Huaixi...... After all, a big businessman promised me that as long as Ji Gong could fly to the court to negotiate, he would offer 500,000 yuan in military money...... "At this moment, Wang Haichao got up and stood in front of Gao Yue respectfully, still coiling for Yangzhou salt merchants.

Gao Yue remained silent, picked up two fine dates from the sandalwood stilt fruit bowl, and put them into Wang Haichao's tea cup, and then he beckoned, and in the curtain behind him, he walked out with the officer, holding an open letter in his hand.

"This letter was handed over to you by Master Pei, of course, he didn't dare to bypass this way, so he handed it over to this way in advance."

Gao Yue's words made Wang Haichao even more frightened:

This move, on the surface, is Pei Yanling's bow to Gao Yue, but in fact, it means that the prime minister's power is about to occupy and infiltrate the three divisions!

In the era of Daizong, the leader of the court's financial management was Liu Yan, at first he was the judge of the branch and the salt and iron transfer envoy, and later Liu Yan and Han Rong stood side by side, Liu Yan was in charge of the southeast wealth in the name of salt and iron transfer, and Han Yan was the judge of the branch as a household servant, in charge of the west wealth; However, at that time, whether Liu Yan or Han Yun was still under the jurisdiction of Yuan Zai, Liu Yan had to call himself "boy" every time he wrote a letter to Yuan Zai;

Yang Yan was in charge of the country and pushed the two tax laws, but as the prime minister, he did not directly manage the three divisions, at most he recycled the power of the degree branch and salt and iron, so that it could return to the household department of Shangshu Province normally.

Until Gao Yue grasped the power, he nominally said that the prime minister was a Taoist official, not a political official, and did not ask about the affairs of the three departments, but in fact, he first used the model of the Zhongshu Shilang to write the Jinluan Palace, and connected with the imperial power, and then let the three subordinate servants divide the six departments and sentence the three divisions, and began to use the institutions under the Zhongshu Sect to quietly encroach on the rights and interests of the three divisions of the household department.

In any case, Gao Yue's actions have sent a strong signal: the prime minister is beginning to directly assume the role of financial management.

When Wang Haichao unfolded Pei Yanling's letterhead, it was full of sycophants to Gao Yue, and clearly asked him to burn out the power of Yangzi's backyard and salt and iron patrol and transfer yard to help Ji Ping Caizhou succeed, if you have any abruptness, the first branch of the Du branch will not spare you, immediately suspend your envoy, and will not say good things about you in the winter recommendation, don't end up in the end you live in the patrol courtyard for two years, and you have to go home to guard the election for ten years, such a fate must not want you to suffer.

Now Wang Haichao is completely clear, and he understands that if he doesn't change the idea in his head, he will have to change people.

He wiped his sweat, sat down on the bed table again, and received the tea handed by Gao Yue.

There were dates floating in the tea soup, exuding a rich aroma, and he took a sip, and his whole chest was immediately ironed.

Only then did Gao Yue smile with satisfaction, "It's none of your business on the salt merchant's side, Bendao immediately migrated to Shouchun, they wanted to fish people, so they went to Shouzhou in the west to fish, and they fished it in front of Bendao." ”

Then Gao Yue also took a sip of tea soup, paused, and said to Wang Haichao: "Salt merchant...... Originally, they ate the imperial court meal, but they were just maggots fattened up in the woods, what could they create by themselves? If the court is coerced by this group of maggots, then it can still be called a court, and it is time to use maggots to feed ducks and geese......"

When he said this, Wang Haichao suddenly felt that his neck was half shorter.
