Chapter 146: Judge of Money and Grain

That is to say, it took three days of hard work, and the private smoke houses in Sijiu City were almost 20% less!

The first to be cleaned is the private smoke shop poked on the street of Zhushikou, when the business is at its busiest at noon, a group of patrol officers wielding red and white batons pounced like wolves and tigers, not to mention that the face is a stick, and at that time, the broken urging that poked the door and watched the wind and whistle was beaten to the ground and spit out the front teeth all over the ground!

There is a sluggish shopkeeper of the private cigarette shop who has to make do with it, thinking that he can rely on the familiar face that he bought with enough filial piety silver on weekdays, and ask for peace with the patrol police who came to the door to smash the scene, but when he looked carefully at the patrol police who rushed in, he didn't know any of her mother?

If you dare to say a few more words, the red and white baton will still be smashed down with the top of the head. There are two shopkeepers of private cigarette shops with narrow luck, one of whom couldn't dodge, and he was called out on the spot!

There are also those who are active in their minds, just looking at the scene and piling up smiling faces, holding a handful of oceans, tickets, and friendships in their mouths, thinking that they can support the current meeting in front of them first, and then think about making a fortune in the future

But the ocean and tickets in his hand, the patrol officers who rushed in also accepted them, but the friendship in their mouths couldn't be brought up. There is enough money from the ocean, but I have figured out one thing - the patrol officers who came to the door were not messing around on Zhushikouer Street at all, they were all transferred from the side of the street to clean the illegal cigarette restaurants on Zhushikouer Street!

As for the patrol officers on Zhushikouer Street, who have already reaped the benefits, they naturally can't be idle - in addition to the scene on Zhushikouer Street, there are no private cigarette shops waiting to be cleaned on other streets, right?

The patrol officer of the Zhushi Kouer Street Patrol Police Station has no friendship with those private cigarette restaurants elsewhere!

On the evening of the third day, the cigarette guns and cigarette lamps piled up in the warehouse of the Beiping City Patrol Police Bureau were also some large pieces of smoke and soil of different colors. It's all piled up into a hill!

In front of these two hills, the four Eight Immortal Tables lined up together were already full of oceans and tickets, crowding the vast Eight Immortals table, leaving only a tray-sized place to display the four treasures of the study and the abacus for settling accounts.

And next to each table of eight immortals, the old account rooms that have been raised for years in several patrol police stations, one person and two abacus. When playing with the abacus, the movement of the beads falling on the jade plate is even more exciting to listen to!

Leaning on a Taishi chair with a thick leather mattress and a two-lake silk pillow on the back of the chair, Duan Ye held a purple sand teapot to warm his hands, and squinted at the baskets of eldest sons sent in at the door of the warehouse, and shook his head impatiently: "There are really few people under my hands who can use it!" What are these big boys still carrying in? How many times have I said that things on the scene must be done beautifully, so that you can make a fortune in private! In the past three days, so many private cigarette shops have been cleaned, and there must be a few cash confiscated on the spot, right? ”

Nodding his head in understanding, a personal attendant standing beside Duan Ye suddenly opened his voice and shouted: "That eldest son raised his head towards the warehouse." Just leave it outside for people to look at! Well, Duan Ye, are we doing a full set of plays, sprinkling a few oceans and a few tickets on each basket of big sons? ”

moved his chin slightly, nodding in agreement, but Duan Ye followed up with a sentence: "It's too eye-catching!" Sprinkle three or five oceans and seven or eight tickets on each basket! If I spill too much, people won't necessarily think I've made a fortune! ”

Nodding and agreeing to Duan Ye's orders, he shouted at a few patrol officers who walked into the warehouse with a basket of eldest sons to move the eldest son out, and the attendant standing next to Duan Ye turned his head and shouted at a few bookkeepers who were settling accounts: "What's the matter? It's all one night. Did you figure out a number?! ”

didn't pay attention to the shouts of the attendants beside Duan Ye at all, and several bookkeepers were still making two calculations with their hands flying. From time to time, I can spare my hands to count the oceans and tickets that have just been delivered on the table, or take a brush to write down a number in the ledger.

It took almost half an hour of effort, and the four bookkeepers stopped their men almost at the same time, stretched out their fingers to compare the numbers with each other, and then wrote down the two numbers on the two ledgers in front of each other at the same time, and then stood up at the same time. Each walked in front of Duan Ye with two ledgers.

Lowering his eyes, he glanced at the account books held by those bookkeepers, Duan Ye reached out and took one of the blue-covered account books and browsed them as if he were looking at them, and then nodded with satisfaction: "The amount I got today can only be regarded as a reluctance!" What about the other account? How much? ”

Three fingers were drawn towards Duan Ye, and one of the bookkeepers replied in a muffled voice: "According to the old rules." It's 30% of the account in your hand! The filial piety and money that should be sent are all spent according to this thirty percent account. There are a few private cigarette restaurants with hard roots behind them, and the main family has paid three times the loss, and then gave a generous gift, which is also spent on these thirty percent accounts! ”

took all the blue-covered account books held by several bookkeepers into his hands, and Duan Ye lazily rested the four account books on his lap: "It's easy to do things according to the old rules, and you guys are also according to the old rules, let's go!" ”

Qi Qi waved his hand towards Duan Ye, and the four bookkeepers walked very skillfully to the table of the Eight Immortals where they were sitting when they were settling accounts, lifted the hem of the cheongsam with both hands, and then grabbed the two corners of the hem of the cheongsam in their hands with one hand, but with the other hand, they grabbed the ocean that was neatly stacked on the table of the Eight Immortals, and kept throwing it into the cloth pocket made of the hem of the robe.

Seeing the bookkeepers grabbing the ocean on the table one after another, among the two attendants beside Duan Ye, one of the attendants who saw this meeting for the first time couldn't help but lean into Duan Ye's ear and whispered: "Duan Ye, isn't it just a few settlers?" Can you afford to pay such a large price?

Squinting his eyes, Duan Ye snorted from his nostrils: "Aren't there just a few settling?" In these forty-nine cities, have you ever heard of the name of 'Money and Grain Judge'? ”

Frowning slightly, the attendant who had just asked Duan Ye immediately closed his mouth

Since the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, there has always been such a sentence on the official face - ten points in the world, seven points are under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, and three points are under the dispatch of the master of Shaoxing! But if you really think about it. That sentence still saved a little face for the imperial court

Starting from the bottom of the county officials, at the beginning of his tenure, he had to bring with him a master of money and grain from Shaoxing and a master of criminal names, so that he could deal with those slippery and loach-like officials, otherwise the decree would not be able to leave the yamen hall. Sometimes I bump into some dim-witted officials, and the real masters in this county have to be the money and grain masters and criminal masters from Shaoxing!

Pull it again. It doesn't matter if it is the prime minister's mansion under one person and above 10,000 people, or the five tiger generals with heavy troops and dominating one side, some trivial things under their hands have to rely on those money and food from Shaoxing, and even those Qingke and staff who accompany them, all of them are from Shaoxing!

It's not for anything else, just because among the characters who are masters all over the world, they have to count the masters from Shaoxing who have a lot of brains and ideas. Quick eyes, diligent hands and feet! In addition, the Shaoxing masters care about the feelings of the hometown party and the friendship of the clan, and they are in the same breath with each other. Sometimes the edicts of the imperial court have not yet been delivered to the places, and many letters with secret notes and ciphers that only the master of Shaoxing can understand have been delivered to various places.

Looking at the Shaoxing master in the county office, he was a half-old man who looked like a winter bake, but he could look at a newspaper sent by a brother of the same clan on a fast horse, and anyone on the official face could find the court residence newspaper for a moment, and immediately slapped the table, and quickly shouted at the little officials under his hand to go out to sweep the streets, appease the Li people, repair bridges and roads, and take out a private house that the master's family had just bought to settle down and rule the widows and loneliness!

When the little official under his hand, Er Jingang, finished these things as if he was confused, maybe a eunuch and young eunuch from the palace quietly touched into the palace. To the confused county official who didn't understand what was going on, he passed a word to the emperor today - when Zi Weifu passed through this place on a private visit today, he watched the simple customs of the people here and the happy work of the people. Those who are honest and self-disciplined, love the people like children, and are happy with the dragon's heart today

Regardless of whether or not he could see the reward immediately at that time, at least the honorific name of this county order was already Jian Zai's heart, and sooner or later he would have to be a useful person!

But if you really want to ask the Shaoxing master who looks like winter baking, how did he see from the palace newspaper that the saint has gone out on patrol today, and he has to pass by the place under his own owner, the Shaoxing master who looks like winter baking smiled slightly. The whole thing is like a saw-billed gourd - without saying a word!

In this way, until the late Qing Dynasty, there was more than one high-ranking officialdom who said this - it was just that the Shaoxing master on the official face quit his job overnight, and the world would be in chaos within half a month, and if it was not good, it would be a discolored end!

Although during the Republic of China, because of the change of dynasty and the change of law. The boundary where Master Shaoxing can find a rut is a little less for the time being, but as long as it is a slightly decent yamen in the government of the Republic of China, almost all of them have to raise a few Shaoxing masters who can calculate an iron account, make a fake account, and repair a confused account.

Regardless of how the officials in the yamen lost money and fictitious registration amounts, after these Shaoxing masters made a dozen calculations and waved a big pen, they could always do a smooth and clean job on the books.

There is a character who doesn't keep the door on his lips, and a word comes out in private - those yamen in the government of the Republic of China, as long as it is a matter of money and food, that little life is in the hands of those Shaoxing masters, and a pen in the hands of those bookkeepers will also beat the things that determine life and death in the hands of the former judge of the Yama Palace!

Because of this statement, these Shaoxing masters who can settle accounts and make a living in the various yamen of the Republic of China government are privately called money and grain judges!

As the old saying goes, only by giving up the cornucopia can Pixiu be attracted!

According to the old rules, every time these money and grain judges get together to calculate a big account, or close the general account at the end of the year, in the yamen that supports these money and grain judges, they will give an extra gagged salary - no matter how much, that is, these money and grain judges are asked to use the hem of their robes to walk around the ocean and tickets on the table, and they can carry as much as they can, and those who go out of the door and do not fall on the ground will all belong to the money and grain judges!

And these money and food judges also know it in their hearts, and the amount of money they take every time is taken in the eyes, which can always make people feel distressed and painful, but they can't afford to have the idea of cheating!

Weighing the weight of the ocean in the hem of the robe, the four money and grain judges didn't have to discuss, they stopped almost at the same time, turned around and nodded to Duan Ye, who was sitting on the chair, and then walked out of the warehouse.

Staring at the backs of the four money and grain judges, the attendant standing behind Duan Ye couldn't help but lick his lips that were a little dry, and said to Duan Ye in a suppressed voice: "Duan Ye, you said that these money and grain judges can really be so relieved?" What if"

Shaking his fat head, Duan Ye twisted his body and stood up from the chair: "These people don't have a case!" The characters who dare to be the judges of money and food in the patrol police station almost have some things in the hands of the patrol police station. As long as there is a slight leak, these people don't even want to die, and they have to let their families eat and hang! Taking advantage of this time to be pure, I hurriedly called someone to touch the collected big smoke manuscript and pick out the cloud soil and pure land inside! There are also those copied cigarette guns, household goods, and those that can be eye-catching are all picked out! ”

agreed, and the very talkative attendant shouted at a few reliable patrol officers to come over to work, but at the same time, he turned his head to Duan Ye and said, "Those cloud soil, pure land, smoking guns, and household goods that you picked out, or are they all sent to your house?" ”

With a glaring of small eyes, Duan Ye snorted coldly with some dissatisfaction: "You're so stupid? You can't eat alone to make a windfall, you still don't understand this truth? The selected cloud soil, pure land, smoking guns, and household belongings were divided into sixteen parts and sent to those masters in the Beiping Municipal Government! ”

Very reluctantly looking at the cloud soil and pure land that had been selected, and then looking at the smoking guns and household goods inlaid with gold and jade, the attendant next to Duan Ye shook his head and said, "Duan Ye, are you a little bigger?" In the market in front of Sijiu City, one or two high-quality horseshoe cloud soil can be exchanged for half a tael of small yellow croaker, and one or two serious Gan and Shaanxi pure land are almost the same price."

Pinching the ledger in his hand and patting the head of the attendant, Duan Ye chuckled very arrogantly: "Hey, hey, hey, what's this thing?" Looking at the cloud soil and pure land in front of him, it is still worth a few dollars, and as soon as the business is opened, the real value in the Sijiu City will be the white noodles that the master has passed! I said, have you arranged everything you want to do tonight? ”

Almost when Duan Ye's subordinates were cleaning up the tobacco and soil, the four money and grain judges who were raised in the patrol police station also found their own homes and packed up the newly obtained ocean, and left the patrol police station one after another from the corner gate left behind the patrol police station.

It was getting late, and the pedestrians on the street were very busy rushing towards their homes, and even the green-skinned gangsters who liked to take advantage of the night to run around the streets and alleys to seek wealth on weekdays were forced by the cold wind to be reluctant to leave the warm house.

Holding a luggage roll with the ocean, Master Qian Liang, who was the last to leave the patrol police station, walked towards home with his neck shrunk, but he looked back and forth cautiously, really looking worried.

That is, in response to the old saying that I was afraid of something, I left the patrol police station not two streets away, and suddenly there was a rush of footsteps from behind me. Before Master Qianliang, who heard the footsteps, turned his head to look at the movement, a very thin slap was already placed on his shoulder, and a voice in his ears that was even drier and colder than the weather: "Master Ruan, do you remember my Hu Qianli?"
