On an official road that leads directly to the north and south, a fast horse is galloping at top speed.

Occasionally, pedestrians and caravans passing by the official road hurriedly avoided it. Because they all recognized it as the station's Pegasus message, and the rider had two small yellow flags behind him.

There are four levels of fast horse communication at the post station. The highest level is an 800-mile urgent arraignment that may not occur once in a few years or even decades. This can usually only be used when there is a foreign invasion, rebellion, or the death of a mountain.

The second class is the 600-mile expedited, which is usually the most urgent summons, and it can only be used for important documents sent to the imperial court or the emperor. Again, it's a four-hundred-mile expedited.

Finally, of course, the fast horse transmission is not urgent, and it is usually required to travel about 300 miles a day, and not less than 180 miles. Those who violate it will also be punished.

For urgent documents, in order to warn others not to approach, a small yellow flag will be placed behind the teleporter to indicate the degree of urgency. The more it is, the more urgent.

If you have two chess pieces stuck behind your back, it means that you are passing a 600-mile expedited document (folding). Where do others dare to delay, if they don't pay attention to it, they will rob their homes and kill their heads!

When encountering urgent documents, every time you go to a post station, you are asked to change people and horses! to ensure that the documents arrive safely and quickly.

The horses continued to gallop, and soon turned into a wooded area.

Suddenly, an arrow burst through the air and plunged into the messenger's chest with ruthlessness and precision. He didn't understand until he died, and there were still people who dared to rob and kill the messenger in this peaceful and prosperous world.

The fast horse continued to gallop forward, but the man on the horse had already rolled down to the side of the road.

A group of people quickly rushed out of the mountains and forests on both sides of the avenue, groping for a while, and after a while, they quickly rushed into the mountains and forests and disappeared.

......

In the living room of the main house, Jia Qing and Jia Yun, who came from Jinling, were deliberating.

"What happened to the man I handed over to you?" Jia Qing asked Ye Chengliang, and after he rescued Wu Qi very cooperatively, Jia Qing sent him to Xunfeng and was taken care of by his brother inside.

Jia Yun said: "Second uncle, please rest assured, I have already told Ni Er personally, let him take care of it." ”

Nodding, Jia Qing didn't want to mention him again, and asked again: "Is the timber matter done?" ”

"What the second uncle explained, how dare my nephew not do it well? Half a month ago, we got three big ships full of 10,000 materials, and the king escorted the eldest brother back to Beijing. Jia Yun said with a grin.

"Material" is a unit of weight, and a material is about more than 600 catties.

"Okay." Jia Qing praised it, and then said: "Next, you will be in the south, get the wine shop, and slowly open the restaurant again." Don't be greedy, just take your time. ”

"Yes."

"My lord, Lord Zhan Min asks to see you."

Jia Yun just wanted to say goodbye and leave, Jia Qing said: "It's okay, Zhan Yang is a powerful figure in Jiangnan, and it is also beneficial for you to get to know him." ”

"My nephew obeys the words of the second uncle." Jia Yun was a little nervous.

He has been in Jiangnan for so many years, and he is like a thunderous ear for Zhan Yang's name. Although Jia Qing's status is higher, because he is his own generation and is used to being close, he will not put too much pressure on him in the face of Jia Qing.

The premise is that everything Jia Qing explained has been done......

After a while, Zhan Yang walked in vigorously.

"Xiaguan has seen my lord."

"Lord Zhan is exempt." Jia Qing called him up, and then pointed at Jia Yun and said: "This is the junior of my family, his name is Jia Yun, the second oldest in the family, and Lord Zhan calls him Yun Er." ”

Zhan Min arched his hand and said, "Zhan has seen Second Master Yun. ”

Jia Yun also hurriedly returned the salute. Jia Qingdao said: "He will do some small business in the south of the Yangtze River in the future, and if there is a mistake, please ask Lord Zhan to take care of it." ”

Zhan Yang understood what Jia Qing meant as soon as he heard it, and smiled at Jia Yun: "The nobles have deep roots in the land south of the Yangtze River, how can they take care of Zhan?" However, if Second Master Yun doesn't dislike it, you might as well go to Nanzhen Fusi as a guest in the future, and Zhan will definitely prepare the best banquet for Second Master Yun. ”

Jia Yun secretly said that his second uncle's face was really big, and said with a smile: "Lord Zhan is too polite, how dare you bother with Lord Lao, naturally Yun Er invited the adult to drink." ”

"It's all the same......"

Jia Qing said with a smile: "Okay, Yun'er will ask Master Zhan for advice if she has something in the future." Now, you go down first. ”

"Yes."

"What are you looking for from me?" After Jia Yun left, Jia Qing asked Zhan Min to sit down, and then asked.

Zhan Min said: "The lower officials want to ask your lordship, how should the generals of Wu Zhongwei deal with them?" ”

Jia Qing asked, "Didn't Chamberlain send someone to inquire?" ”

"Nope."

Jia Qing suddenly frowned. Sure enough, he is worthy of being an old fox, so calm!

However, no matter what he thought, he was about to return to the capital, and he didn't have the heart to guess.

"Escort them to the Nanjing Criminal Department, and they will be punished for the crime of forcibly robbing people's girls."

The reason why it was handed over to the Criminal Department and not to the Yangzhou Mansion or Yingtian Mansion was because the latter two were subordinate yamen of the Governor's Mansion. Handing them over is equivalent to voluntarily handing them back to Chamberlain.

"Yes."

Zhan Yang responded, and then his expression became less serious, he stood up, took out an account book from his arms, and said to Jia Qing: "This is the official who has confiscated the property account books of the White Lotus Sect these days, and asked the adults to take a look." ”

Jia Qing waved his hand and said, "I don't need to look at it, you can roughly tell me how many assets their White Lotus Sect has, and I have a number in my heart." ”

So Zhan Yang closed the account book and said with a smile: "According to the results of the White Lotus Sect's total of 113 properties in the entire Jiangnan that have been confiscated by the lower officials in the past ten days, there are a total of 388,440 taels of silver, in addition, there are jewelry, ornaments, etc., which are equivalent to 12,200 taels of silver.

In addition, there are shops of all sizes, restaurants, tea houses, blocked halls and other industries are initially expected to exceed 2 million taels. ”

After speaking, Zhan Yang said with some pity: "Actually, the reason why there is so little cash is because in addition to the White Camel Mountain, although Xia Guan and the others acted quickly, most of the other White Lotus Sect's industries were swept away by its remnants. ”

Jia Qing nodded, this figure is still very objective. After all, the White Lotus Sect is not a salt merchant, a group of bandits, no matter how big the family is, it is impossible to gather a huge amount of wealth.

It can also be seen that Zhan Yang should not have done too much from it. That's what smart people do.

"Okay, I got it. Silver, such as cash silver and jewelry, is sent directly to the household department and handed over to the state treasury.

As for other industries, they will be handed over to the local government, registered one by one, and waiting for sale. Jia Qing said indifferently.

Zhan Min nodded in response, put the account book back into his arms, but took out a box from his sleeve, and respectfully handed it to Jia Qing and said, "This is a little bit of the official's heart to the adult." ”

"Okay, you go down."

This is the proper meaning of the question, and I believe that Feng Tang and others will also have it. Therefore, Jia Qing didn't say any nonsense, and accepted it directly.

Actually, he was not interested in this kind of silver, because he didn't like it.

However, I can't look down on myself, but I can't let the people who work hard with me have no "head" at all. If you don't accept it yourself, how can Zhan Yang and the others feel at ease?

If you want to truly distinguish between public and private, you can only do this if you become under one person, above 10,000 people, and have absolute decision-making power, and you can openly increase the "salary" of your subordinates.
