Chapter 443: Taking office
The inner hall of the North Town Fu Division belongs to the public hall of the town Fu Official. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
At this moment, Yang Zhen was dressed in a flying fish suit, and placed the long embroidered spring knife diagonally on the long case in front of him, and a pair of eyes continued to sweep the faces of the twenty or so subordinates sitting below as if they were substantial, and they felt nervous in their hearts.
These hundreds of households who have been on errands in Zhenfu for many years are both envious and apprehensive when they look at Yang Zhen at this moment. You must know that these people are also considered to have good official luck in Jinyiwei, so they can rely on the shadow of their fathers and ancestors or become the middle level of Jinyiwei because of fate. But the young magistrate in front of him was just a small hundred households two years ago, and he could only watch the street business outside, but now he has become one of the few big names in the town, how can this not make them envious?
However, they also know very well that Yang Zhen can have today, in addition to his own outstanding ability and some contributions, the backers behind him are even more enviable by ordinary people. That's the Son of God, how many people in the entire Jinyi Guard have seen the current emperor? Not to mention being valued so much by him, he was overpromoted.
They knew that Yang Zhen was a person who could and dared to do things, but they didn't expect him to move so fast, you must know that today is the second day of his appointment, so he hurriedly gathered all these people under his command who were on important errands in front of him, was he not afraid of provoking the dissatisfaction and suspicion of Liu Dudu and others?
It is precisely because of this concern that these people seem to be a little contradictory when facing Yang Zhen, they are very respectful, but they don't dare to get too close, after all, it is still the governor Liu Shouyou who is in charge of the house in Jinyiwei.
Yang Zhen sat on the top of the head, and a pair of sharp eyes swept away, and he had already seen everyone's thoughts in his eyes. He was also mentally prepared for these people's imminent performance, which was also a very normal reaction. But he would never allow this situation to remain for too long, because these people would be a bargaining chip for him to compete with Feng Bao and them in the future, so they must be subdued as soon as possible. If there is one who refuses to throw himself on him, he will have to be expelled from his hands.
Yang Zhen, who had already made up his mind, quickly showed a smile: "You don't have to be so nervous, it's not been a day or two since I, Yang Zhen, came to Zhenfu Division on an errand, even if I haven't really cooperated with you, I am also familiar with you." As you may be aware, I am not the kind of greedy person who spends his days trying to get benefits from his men. ”
"Hehe......" Seeing that Yang Zhen smiled slightly after speaking, everyone also laughed, but they didn't dare to relax in the slightest.
"Well, however, I still don't know enough about the errands you are in charge of, so I have called you together today, so I would like you to explain. In the future, if you want to hire people or something, you don't have to call everyone together, don't you? Yang Zhen said again.
"That's what my lord said."
"It's still Yang Zhenfu, who thinks about it." Everyone hurriedly agreed.
Yang Zhen was still very satisfied with their performance, and his expression eased a little: "Since this is the case, then let's talk about what you are responsible for." ”
As a result, these hundreds of households introduced their respective positions to Yang Zhen according to their official positions, including thousands of households in Tiqili, who were specifically responsible for arresting officials and ordinary people who had committed crimes, and thousands of households who were responsible for monitoring the residences of hundreds of officials...... However, these existences, which were originally nightmares for court officials, have long since become useless, not only have they stopped doing this kind of thing that people should be on guard against all the time, but although they are called thousands of households, in fact, there are no available people under their hands.
Listening to them tell the truth, Yang Zhen just nodded quietly. In fact, he had known about this matter a long time ago, otherwise Jinyiwei would not have fallen to the point where he was ignored by everyone today. Now the person in charge of these tasks has long been replaced by the fan of the East Factory.
Before, Yang Zhen also had a question about this, obviously the number of Jinyiwei registered was not much less than before, but why were there no one available to these thousands of households who originally held great power? Where did all the missing people go? He didn't think that there would be people in the brocade guards who would eat empty salaries, after all, this was in the capital.
However, with the self-introduction of several hundred households in the back, the answer was revealed.
Unlike the thousands of households who held official positions at the beginning, the next few people who spoke did not have any serious positions in the Suppression Division. But they also have serious errands, and Yang Zhen is still very familiar with this errand, that is, he is in charge of the security of a certain neighborhood in the capital. In fact, to put it bluntly, like some underworld forces in later generations, they relied on the brand of Jinyiwei to guard the territory and not make trouble, and at the same time collected some protection money. And these guys who can actually only be regarded as the bottom of the Jinyi Guard, but they have brought a lot of lieutenants or small flags and the like, more than ten or twenty, and as few as seven or eight people.
Yang Zhen understood now, it turned out that the Jinyi guards in the capital had already been assigned to various places to be the head snake, so there were no available people in terms of Ti Cai and secret agents. This made him feel both funny and sad in his heart, the dignified Jinyiwei, who didn't do those things that made people afraid of him, but was in the company of the scoundrels in the market, was really not worthy of the Jinyiwei's outfit.
Of course, not all the Jinyi guards were scattered to all parts of the capital to become local snakes, and a small number of them were on errands in the Zhenfu Division, that is, some people who maintained the normal operation of the Zhenfu Division, as well as the jailers who guarded the edict.
After Yuan Taidong, who was in charge of all the affairs of the Imperial Prison, told him his identity and errand, Yang Zhen glanced at him a few times attentively, and he felt a little hairy in his heart.
"Very good, it seems that everyone has their own errands on their hands, so I can be considered more leisurely, and I don't have to bother to arrange things for you." Although Yang Zhen had some idea in his heart, he was not salty and indifferent.
"My lord said with a smile, since we are my lord's subordinates, as long as my lord has any orders, we should obey my orders." These people are all human spirits, how can they not hear the off-strings in his words, and hurriedly said.
"Really?" Yang Zhen said noncommittally, and then waved his hand and said: "This matter will be talked about in the future, since this is an arrangement made by Shi Zhenfu when he was in office, it is not easy for me to change it casually when I first arrive, so I will follow Xiao Gui Cao first." ”
Hearing him say this, most people breathed a sigh of relief, especially those hundreds of households and thousands of households who were in charge of various areas in the capital, they were really afraid that Yang Zhen's new official would take office three times, and they would find their own people first.
You must know that although the reputation of these people is not good, it is richly rewarded. Every month, they were able to receive a large amount of silver from the block they managed, which was much higher than the amount of silver they received from the Pacification Division. Moreover, in the area under their own control, in addition to a few dignitaries and dignitaries, the ordinary people are also polite to them, which is better than listening to errands in the Zhenfu Division.
Of course, there are some people who are very disappointed by this. The two Qianhu who were in charge of the cavalry and the spy looked dark. They originally felt that Yang Zhen had always acted boldly, maybe he would make some moves after becoming a calm man this time, so as to change his situation. But now it seems that nothing will change, and he can only continue to sit on the cold bench, and there can be no power.
The change in the demeanor of these people naturally did not escape Yang Zhen's eyes, which made him even more determined to change the current situation. Jin Yiwei will be an elite in his hand that can compete with Feng Bao, how can they continue to be so wasted?
However, as he said, it is not the time to be rash when he first takes office, and he must first find a breakthrough and fully establish his prestige, and then carry out drastic reforms.
"Okay, everyone has something to do, so the official won't delay your time anymore, let's all disperse." Yang Zhen waved his hand.
Then they got up and bowed their hands, and they wanted to leave the hall. At this time, Yang Zhen suddenly remembered something again, and shouted: "Yu Qianhu, Song Qianhu, and Yuan Qianhu, the three of you stay for the time being!" ”
Song Guang, who was in charge of the secret agent, Yuan Taidong of the Imperial Prison and Yu Yao of Tiqi, were shocked when they heard this, but they still stayed from their lives. The others glanced back at Yang Zhen and the others a little strangely, and then retreated with questions.
After everyone left, the three of them asked Yang Zhen again, "I don't know why Lord Zhenfu left us down." ”
Yang Zhen smiled faintly: "As far as I know, the three of you are the most responsible in the Zhenfu Division, so there are some things I want to discuss with you." ”
Yu Song and the others unconsciously showed a hint of joy on their faces when they heard this, could it be that Lord Zhenfu really intended to change the current situation? But Yuan Taidong's heart sank slightly, and he didn't know how to express his position.
After half an hour, the three thousand households left Yang Zhen's public hall in a daze. A moment later, Yuan Taidong was called over by Liu Shouyou.
In Liu Shouyou's public house, in the face of his inquiry, Yuan Taidong also looked puzzled: "If you go back to your lordship, then Yang Zhen left us and said that he had something important to discuss, but then he didn't say anything, only asked the lower officials a few details about the hands of our subordinates, and sent us out." ”
"Is that so? Didn't he reveal some ideas about what he was going to do next? Liu Shouyou asked suspiciously.
"It's really not, and it's also strange for Xia Guan. Looking at him before, it seemed that he had something to discuss with us, but he changed his mind again. Yuan Taidong said.
"Well, Bendu understands, so you can step down." Although Liu Shouyou said this, looking at Yuan Taidong's back when he left, he was still full of doubts: "What is this Yang Zhen thinking?" For so long, have you only asked these irrelevant questions? ”
