Yang Lin was very satisfied with Master Liu's performance, and nodded frequently with a smile. At the same time, it is also clear that there is an enemy who is constantly watching him and wants to disadvantage him. Therefore, he, Yang Lin, needs to understand his enemies and the situation in Guangzhou Mansion in the shortest possible time, so that he can respond to all changes with the same and secretly develop his own forces.

"Master Liu, you know, I have only been in Guangzhou Mansion for a few days, and I don't know what are the forces of all parties in this place? Shouldn't you tell me that it is all those forces that have entanglements of interests now? ”

Master Liu was a little surprised, he didn't expect that the adult in front of him didn't have the impulse of a young man, and when he heard that someone was hostile to him, he didn't immediately inquire about the details of the other party in detail, but just had a rough understanding, so he didn't ask anymore, and then he paid attention to the interests of all parties in Guangzhou Mansion, and behaved extremely calmly.

No longer guessing, no longer thinking, no longer judging the president, Master Liu told what he knew at the beginning.

"My lord, if you want to talk about the interests of all parties in Guangzhou Mansion, you have to talk about the division of power in the entire Guangzhou Mansion."

"Oh~, didn't you say that? Aren't they just those three men, governors, governors, and overseers? ”

"My lord, it was a large external transfer to Guangdong Province, their term of office is not long, the most is only three years, the shortest is our supervisor, if there is no accident, once a year."

"Listen to you, and the local forces?"

"Well, yes, the larger ones in the local area include the General's Mansion, the Guangzhou Prefect's Yamen, the Buzheng Division, the Salt Administration Division, etc., they all represent the local forces, and they all have backers in the capital, and their backgrounds are not simple."

"However, their rights are not as big as the three above, they have been suppressed, and they are strong snakes that can't overpower Jianglong. But those three adults don't dare to go too far, and they will also share some benefits and give them to these local forces. ”

"For example, the current General's Mansion, the seven general members of the Guangdong Customs Office are all appointed by the General's Mansion, and they are under the orders of the superintendent. According to the needs of the superintendent and the performance of the superintendent, the superintendent may request that the general's office be replaced, and other children of the Eight Banners will be appointed as members of the general committee. ”

At this time, Yang Lin understood why Lord Song was so afraid of the overseer? Why did you change your attitude towards yourself?

"According to what you say, the General's Mansion is also subordinate to the Guangdong Customs Bureau, and it is under the orders of the superintendent?"

"My lord, no, the General's Mansion only obeys the orders of the Governor of Liangguang and the Governor. In addition, the seven members of the General Command Committee sent by the General's Office can sometimes decide whether or not to re-elect the Inspector General, and provide reference for His Majesty's decision. ”

Therefore, out of the exchange of interests and the equality of grades, the three adults check and balance each other and restrain each other. Xiao believes that this is also the reason why the candidates for these three positions change frequently. The oil and water of Guangzhou Mansion is too big and attractive, and once the three adults serve too long, a long-term consensus will be reached, and the royal benefits will be greatly reduced. ”

Yang Lin nodded in agreement, appreciating this Master Liu, who not only clearly knew the various stakeholders in Guangzhou Prefecture, but also had unique insights on some things. At this moment, Yang Lin felt that this Master Liu's role to himself would never be as simple as being familiar with the division of forces among all parties, and he would be a very good master who could give advice and put forward constructive opinions on some things.

At the same time, a doubt arose spontaneously in Yang Lin's heart, but it had a tendency to intensify, and he felt very uncomfortable without asking.

"Hey~ Master Liu, I only heard the division of interests and intertwined interests of your administrative department in Guangzhou Prefecture, why didn't I hear you mention the troops? But I've heard that the Guangzhou government is in turmoil, and pirates and bandits are rampant, so how can the division of interests be less than the military? ”

"Uh~ My lord, what you said is right, and the fact is that Guangzhou Mansion is indeed very chaotic. My lord, you should know one thing, the army is controlled by the governor and the governor, and you should understand that the two lords do not have a long term of office, and if they want to get more land benefits, they will not be able to control the military. ”

"Moreover, the army has no local administrative powers, and can only be responsible for defense and fighting pirates. Ordnance, materials, and salaries are directly allocated by the localities, so in the face of the lack of benefits, the army can only accept and accept, and if they do not accept, they must also accept, otherwise their food, drink, and Lazar will have problems! ”

"Do you dare to withhold the army's salaries and military supplies at the risk of being killed?"

At this time, Master Liu couldn't help muttering, this adult is still too young, has too little experience, has not been in the officialdom, and thinks too simply, so he explained: "It's not enough to deduct military salaries, but the local government can delay for a while, once something happens during this time, hehe"

Yang Lin is a smart person, of course he understands the meaning and the next words, that is, during this period of time without military pay and material supplements, once there is any big pirate bandit cholera in Guangzhou Mansion, the army will not be able to eat and walk, and there will be no chance to see the emperor to plead.

In an instant, Yang Lin realized the darkness of officialdom, the intrigue between each other, and the deceit, if one is not careful, he will never turn over. Thinking about it, I couldn't help but be silent, thinking back to all the things that had come through, and I felt that the conspiracies of the Yang clan were pediatrics, and they couldn't be compared with the battle of officialdom at all.

At this time, Master Liu turned into a cautious look, and whispered: "My lord, if you have the opportunity, you can go to the Guangdong Navy Division to have a look, and you will know that the army is far worse than you think, why the pirates and bandits in the Guangzhou territory are rampant, fighting more and more." ”

If it weren't for the fact that he had done a lot of work and consulted a lot of information before he came, this series of news would have made Yang Lin's brain hurt. It was only after a moment of calm that Yang Lin completely digested all the news.

Then, Yang Lin sorted out his thoughts and asked instead: "Master Liu, according to what you said, the current Guangzhou Mansion should be in a balance, and all the interests have been divided, so how to deal with this part of the tooth line?" ”

"En~ My lord, before you came, Guangzhou Mansion was in balance, but now it may not be."

"Oh why?"

"My lord, I don't know the specifics. However, according to my personal opinion, the tooth store originally belonged to the overseer, and since the brother-in-law who was going to appoint the governor to serve here was inserted in the customs department, then the superintendent must have agreed, and there should be some kind of deal. ”

"Now that the adults are here, it means that this transaction has not been successful, and the original balance should have been broken. However, no matter how it changes, our dental store is still under the jurisdiction of the overseer. ”

Regarding a certain deal reached by the two bigwigs, Yang Lin felt a trace of shock in his heart, and at the same time, a trace of realization appeared in his mind, understanding why the superintendent was eager for him at the beginning, but why his attitude was so subtle, just roughly instructing his duties, reminding him not to provoke Li Lianying, and not telling why? Now it seems that all the causal causes are in the unknown transaction.

At the same time, a trace of vigilance appeared in Yang Lin's heart, not only for Li Lianying, but also for the overseer. Although he had not been involved in officialdom, Yang Lin understood that since some kind of transaction had been made, which made the overseer give up the position full of oil and water, then this transaction was by no means simple, and it was by no means something that could be solved and settled with a jade pendant.

Therefore, in the future, we must be extremely cautious in dealing with the world, so as not to leave others behind.

It was already dark, and it was close to dinner time, Yang Lin knew that he couldn't be in a hurry, it was impossible to figure out everything in Guangzhou Mansion at once, and he needed to figure it out slowly, slowly understand, and understand it in advance according to the future situation, which was not only more targeted, but also saved Liu Boqi from wavering, thinking that he Yang Lin was a stunned young man who didn't understand anything.

After a short period of parenting, Yang Lin invited Master Liu to have dinner together, expressing his closeness and increasing the relationship between the two.

At the wine table, Yang Lin no longer talked about work and the affairs of Guangzhou Mansion, which made Master Liu, who wanted to talk about these things several times, extremely depressed, and had a feeling that the emperor was not in a hurry and the eunuch was in a hurry. (To be continued.) )
