Looking at Cai Xue's gray hair on her sideburns, looking at the flat box in her hand, and looking at the dilapidated Yamen of the Prosecutor's Office, Qin Fei suddenly understood how heavy the burden on his body was.

In the Eastern Capital, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the rules are strict, the Inspectorate is like a cloud, and there are masters like Governor Yi who have reached the peak of their prestige in both cultivation and the DPRK, and the Inspectorate is of course invincible, and no one dares to say a word to the Inspectorate. But in a province like Anton, each has its own forces, and the Prosecutor's Office is only one of them, maybe it can't even rank in the top three, so how can it have a status?

Cai Xuewu explained: "Governor Qin, the money of our branch office is distributed by the General Administration every month, and everyone is an official, so I will open the skylight and say something." The first hurdle is only ninety percent! Someone in the General Administration deducted a percent, this is the usual practice, even if Governor Yi turned a blind eye. After arriving in Anton, officers at all levels deducted another 30%. The rest was distributed to the Wolf Tooth Force and the spies. In total, it is about four or five percent of the loss, and it is not yet the end of the month, and the branch office has no money. Later, when the money from the General Administration arrived, it was only about 10,000 taels. The remaining eight or nine thousand taels will have to be solved by our own branches. ”

"How did you solve it before?" Qin Fei looked humbly asking for advice.

Cai Xuewu frowned, as if she had some scruples.

Qin Fei immediately smiled and said, "Governor Cai, close the door, we are a family." The people in the Prosecutor's Office are doing things outside, and if they all follow the rules, they don't know how many times they have died. To tell you the truth, I have never followed the rules, even if I want to cause trouble, I will solve the needs of the prosecutor's office first. If there is anything, you might as well say it directly and give some pointers. ”

Cai Xuewu was a little relieved, and glanced out the door a few times, but saw that Li Hunu and the others were quite far away, so he said in a low voice: "There are only three ways to make money from the branch. ”

"First, the case of robbing Anton's official mansion will be handled. For example, two families in a certain place are fighting each other, and each of them gathers a hundred and ten people to fight. Such a was originally done by the yamen. But if these two families are relatively rich, they can't let it. Immediately send someone to the yamen to find a reason, huh...... For example, they assemble illegally and form parties to conspire, which involves the security of the empire. The branch agent took over the case confidently, and then knocked the rich families on both sides, and the family knocked on a thousand taels of silver, and then turned the big thing into a small thing. ”

Qin Fei nodded again and again: "This is a good way." ”

Cai Xuewu smiled, and then said: "Second, knock on the Anton officials, few officials have clean buttocks, and they must have a handle." However, since you can be an official, there must be someone above. Even if it's really an official who is released by virtue of his ability, he at least has a teacher or something, right? If you move these people, you can't move them casually, you have to pick those who have money. Then keep a close watch, find their handle, and wait for your chance. ”

"What kind of opportunity?"

Cai Xuewu smiled sinisterly: "Of course, when the people above them have something to do in the Eastern Capital." A few months ago, there was an official who came up with the thigh of King Qi's grandfather's family, that is, the Gao family. Qin Zhendu, you personally cut the face of the Gao family, and the forced King of Qi was helpless. The prestige of the Gao family has suffered a big blow for a while, and the people below us must immediately seize this opportunity and knock him hard. It's not kind to move his official position, usually, knock him three or five thousand taels and scare him. ”

Qin Fei nodded: "And the third?" ”

This made Cai Xuewu entangled for a long time, carefully looked at Qin Fei's thirsty face, and finally said ruthlessly: "The third method, don't use it when you can't help it." ”

"Please!"

"Our wolf tooth troops are better equipped than ordinary troops. The barbarians are weak, and they often send people to buy weapons and equipment for our wolf tooth troops. If the money is really too tight, the branch office of the wolf's tooth unit will organize a drill......" Cai Xuewu's face was slightly red, paused, and then said: "In fact, it is to pull the wolf's tooth troops to the mountains to camp for a few days, sell weapons and equipment to the barbarians, and come back for some money, as for those sold, they will report to the loss of the exercise!" ”

Qin Fei was really taken aback, selling weapons to foreign races was tantamount to betraying the country. If it is said that the environment of the branch office in Andong is so bad that it has to be maintained by selling the country, the official position of this town governor is really sitting on the crater, and if he is not careful, his head will be moved.

"How many drills did you do last year?" Qin Fei asked cautiously.

"Seventeen or eighteen times ......" Cai Xue said without a huff: "Last year, I was very tight, but Qin Zhendu, you must know that what we sold to the barbarians are some old, inferior weapons. The best things are reluctant and impossible to sell to them. Also, the barbarians rarely enter Anton to plunder, and their main energy is to fight with the demons for control of the grassland. ”

Qin Fei gasped deeply, he had to sell weapons three times in two months on average, so the Wolf Tooth Force was about to become a bare-handed army now, right? Do you really expect to bite with your teeth when you encounter war?

After Cai Xue Wudu explained clearly, he said heavily: "Governor Qin, these things, in Anton's environment, have to do this. No matter how ridiculous it seems, we've tried. This town governor is too difficult to be, but fortunately, the old brother is going back soon, and the burden will be handed over to you. Qin Zhendu, you are a young hero, you have courage, and you also have the support of the ministers of the DPRK and China, you must do better than your old brother. However, I would like to remind you that the old fritters in the branch office do not take the town governor seriously, and you have to adapt and change slowly. ”

Qin Fei was furious, the prosecutor's office was extremely particular about the rules, and the distinction between the upper and lower levels was very clear. The phrase "crushing people to death at the level of officials" is the most appropriate one for the procuratorate. Cai Xue has no sub-bureau governor, and he can actually say that the old fritters don't take him seriously...... Is this still the yamen of the Prosecutor's Office?

Seeing that Qin Fei was dissatisfied, Cai Xue smiled bitterly: "The old fritter is not young, at least he has been in the prosecutor's hall for more than ten years. As the saying goes, the iron battalion is the soldier of the flowing water. The town governor changes every few years, and some of the officers who can be sub-signed may not move for more than ten years. If a ruler wants to do something, he has to count on the officials. They have a wide range of people and acquaintances in Anton, black and white, and even have acquaintances in northern Xinjiang and the barbarians, so it is convenient to do anything, and they can't afford to offend. ”

"In addition, you have to know who Anton's previous governors were, except for the elder brother, who is not angry, and he will be demoted when he goes back. Those few people are now all well-known figures in the prosecutor's hall, and there are a few admirals in the same knowledge, and the Yuan admiral of the executive department is the governor of Anton Town. Some old fritters, relying on the fact that they are the old subordinates of a certain admiral, don't give anyone face. If you are embarrassed by him, he can go to the eastern capital to find his old boss and cry. ”

Cai Xuewu sighed: "There is an inspector in the sub-office, this official is quite small, he is in charge of finances, and his expenses and income have to pass through his hands." Do you know how old he is? ”

"How old?" Qin Fei asked in surprise.

"It's almost sixty, and I just don't retreat from the position. If nothing else, he will have money to make, and when he pays military salaries, he can lose a lot. Even if his grandson buys a sugar gourd on the street, he can get a bill for reimbursement. Anyway, the reimbursement is approved by himself, stamped, and paid, and he does it all by himself. ”

Qin Fei said angrily: "This is still lawless, Cai Zhendu, don't you teach him a hard lesson?" ”

"How to teach? Don't look at him as an inspector, when he used to be an internal guard in the Eastern Capital, he stood guard at Governor Yi's house, and he was still a sentry in the inner courtyard. Every time he drank some wine, he boasted that Governor Yi affectionately called him Xiaofeng back then. Don't say it, during the New Year's holidays, this old man will buy some special products or something, and send them to the Eastern Capital to the Governor's Palace......"

Cai Xuewu said in frustration: "A provincial governor like me, standing in front of Governor Yi, I don't even dare to breathe. People can gossip in front of Governor Yi, this is the gap! ”

Qin Fei sighed: "Governor Cai, hearing you say this, I'm already ready to carry my bag back to the Eastern Capital." It's a really difficult place to treat......"

Cai Xue changed color in shock, picked up a package from the corner of the wall, and rushed out without looking back, shouting: "After the handover, my brother will go back to the Eastern Capital, no need to send ......"

Qin Fei sighed leisurely, walked out of the room slowly, leaned against the door frame, and let the warm sunlight shine on his body, it seems that Anton's road has just begun!
