There was nothing to say for a night, and in the early morning of the next day, Han Gang was promoted to the director of the church.

The duty of the envoy was to 'return the power of the whole road to the top and to picket the officials to the county', that is, to dispose of the taxes and military reserves of the whole road for the use of the state and the local expenses, and at the same time to supervise the local officials.

In fact, the transporter is a toiling life. For at least half of the year, they have to go outside the prefectures and counties, audit the account books, inspect the reserves, and reward or punish the officials in the road according to their merits and demerits. The general affairs in the government office are basically carried out by the deputy envoy and the transfer judge who stay in the administrative office.

Therefore, Han Gang's work on the second day was basically to go through the motions, that is, to introduce the officials in the yazhong, and to have a general understanding of the storage situation under the jurisdiction of the Caosi Yamen, which did not take Han Gang too much time.

When he first arrived, the official affairs in the government office would not be piled up in front of Han Gang, otherwise it would be a provocation. However, there is also a purpose for letting him pass, Fang Xing, as Han Gang's assistant, gave a few references first, and handed it over to Han Gang for punishment later. There are also some small things that can also be picked up by Han Gang's staff. As a transit envoy, he only needs to coordinate the overall situation.

After getting acquainted with the people and things in the yamen, Han Gang was ready to leave, he had already sent someone to inform Cheng Fu yesterday, saying that he was going to come to pay homage today, and there was no need to delay any longer.

The officials listed in the hall retired in order from the lowest to the highest according to their official qualities. A middle-aged official in his forties suddenly stood up at this time and bowed to Han Gang: "Envoy, the lower official has something to do." ”

Han Gang took a look at the official who suddenly spoke out, it was the Guan Gou Accounting Department of the Transit Division, surnamed Sun Minglin, who was in charge of financial planning in the Transit Division, and was second only to the deputy envoy and the transfer judge.

Sun Lin asked to stay and speak in front of everyone, which was the same taboo as when one of the people in the ruling committee asked to stay after the deliberations of the monarchs and ministers of the Chongzheng Palace—no one knew who he was doing to frame him—of course, this was also the simplest and most direct way to show his pro-Han Gang's position.

It's a pity that Han Gang has no intention of breaking the rules to open up the team, since Wen Yanbo is making it clear that he can't get along with him, how many eyes are staring at him, everything must be done above board.

"Could it have something to do with Vice Envoy Li?" Han Gang asked.

Li Nangong's body shook when he heard this, and Sun Lin hurriedly shook his head, "No." ”

"That's good." Han Gang nodded and said, "Elder Chu, please stay." This official has just arrived, and he is still unfamiliar in the government office, and Sun Accounts may have to bother Chu Lao if he wants Chen Da's situation. ”

After Sun Lin stood up, Li Nangong and other officials all wanted to leave as soon as possible, although they were not straight about Sun Lin's character, but it was even more dangerous to walk slowly. No one expected that Han Gang would say that Li Nangong would stay.

Li Nangong was stunned for a moment, turned around and glanced at Han Gang hesitantly, then looked at Sun Lin, and then walked back and stood still in front of his original position.

Seeing that the deputy envoy of the transfer and Fang Xing, who was listening with Han Gang's cronies, Sun Lin's face became a little ugly, but Han Gang didn't let him delay, "Okay, Sun Account, now there is something to say directly." ”

Sun Lin hesitated for a moment, and gritted his teeth at the end, "The lower official checked the accounts in the road the day before yesterday, but saw that the amount of money spent by the minister in Henan Fuzhong did not match the previous account, and there seemed to be a hidden secret. And the number of warehouses in Henan and Beiguan is also different from the two accounts. The lower official implored the envoy to investigate it thoroughly. ”

“…… When was the last time you checked the accounts of the Henan treasury? After thinking about it, Han Gang asked.

Sun Lin was stunned, and when he didn't know why Han Gang asked this question, Li Nangong interjected on the side: "It was in September last year. ”

"It's only been four months." Han Gang pondered for a moment, "When should the next time we check the accounts of the Henan Treasury?" ”

"It should be in the middle of spring next year." Li Nangong had already understood Han Gang's thoughts, and replied quickly.

"Next year...... Han Gang smiled and turned his head to look at Sun Lin, who proposed, "Are there any more questions?" ”

Sun Lin's face turned pale and shook his head again and again. Although the order that Li Nangong said was actually the order of the Jingxi Road, and Han Gang served as the transfer envoy of the Jingxi Road, and the north and south roads were merged, the order of this inspection should be adjusted. But Han Gang's attitude has been very clear, where does he dare to have problems?

Han Gang didn't know how much the treasury here in Luoyang was empty, but there was a problem for sure. It is impossible to find fault with any account, whether it is in a past life or a future life. If Han Gang went to check the accounts of the Luoyang Mansion Treasury with the intention of finding faults, he would definitely be able to find a bunch of mistakes.

But the current situation is that he found out that there was a real deficit, and it was reported that he Han Gang took the opportunity to take revenge on Wen Yanbo's faux pas, whether it was reasonable or not, in the eyes of the world, it was his narrow-mindedness, and some of them were said in the future.

Even now, it should be the turn to check the treasury accounts of Henan Mansion, and Han Gang will also try to delay it for a year and a half, not to mention that the inventory of Luoyang accounts has just been inspected, how can he catch up and rush to check? Han Gang would not exchange his reputation for the accounts of Henan Mansion, thinking about the treatment of his father-in-law after the worst, Han Gang was not loyal to the emperor to that extent.

How could Han Gang do such a stupid thing?!

It's not too late to check again at the beginning of spring next year, and Wen Yanbo won't be able to fill the deficit by then, and Han Gang will have his own response.

Signaling that Sun Lin could go, and then asked Fang Xing to send Li Nangong away, Han Gang got up and walked through the small door at the back of the lobby and walked towards the backyard.

Sun Lin's words were not at the right time, otherwise, Han Gang would not have treated this official who came to lose his sincerity like this. He also hoped to have one or two of his men at his disposal in the Transit Division as soon as possible. It's a pity that he made a big mistake, Han Gang's revenge is not as strong as he imagined, more precisely, Han Gang doesn't want outsiders to think that his revenge is strong, so he can only use Sun Lin as a target.

Han Gang didn't feel pity for this, stupid companions were more dangerous than enemies. I don't know how to observe words and feelings, I only know how to flatter officials. If such an official can stay in the enemy's camp, it is better to say that if he keeps him by his side, he will only harm others and himself.

In fact, if there was no such thing as Wen Yanbo, Han Gang really planned to start with Luoyang first, and after the investigation, he could go to Luoyang less within two years. He actually had the idea of temporarily moving the office of the Transshipment Division to Ruzhou or Tangzhou - after all, Luoyang was too far away from the channel, and it was not convenient to travel back and forth.

Although there is Shen Kuo in Fangcheng to survey first, and get the design blueprint and sand table model first, it is the beginning of spring now, and it is impossible to start any work, but in the next half a year or so, Han Gang will also have to inspect the states and counties along the Xianghan Cao Canal, and will need to mobilize the materials, funds and manpower to clean up the river and build the track, and prepare for it, and the time is also very tight. And once the construction starts, Han Gang will have to go to the local town, and no one knows what will happen to the scene of the labor service if Lu Dao only relies on Shen Kuo alone.

……………………

The Cheng family is still very calm at the moment.

Although Han Gang had just arrived in Luoyang the day before, he sent people to send many gifts, but in the eyes of Cheng Hao and Cheng Yi, it was not as good as Han Gang to write the words of the student Han Gang on the worship post.

——Han Gang's respect for the Cheng family is the real gift.

At the same time, under the influence of Wen Yanbo, the officials of Henan Prefecture did not go out of the city to welcome the newly appointed Jingxi transfer envoy, and this matter also reached the Cheng family.

Cheng Hao and Cheng Yi didn't think so, Wen Yanbo did this, to put it mildly, it was a small belly and chicken intestines, not like the prime minister's doing. Even if there are a few traps in it, as long as Han Gang does everything above board, the so-called traps are like a smooth road for him.

However, Ercheng and Wen Yanbo also have a bit of incense. Two days ago, Wen Yanbo also invited their father to participate in the Tongjia meeting, which gave the two of them enough face.

The Cheng family is in Luoyang City, which is full of nobles, and can only be regarded as a poor family. Ercheng's father, Cheng Jue, has been an official all his life, and he is not as good as Han Gang's three or five years. Now that Zhishi is at home, he is only a handful of age to praise. That is, relying on the prestige of Cheng Hao and Cheng Yi, he can drink and feast with Wen Yanbo all day long.

"In fact, when Uncle Zihou was lecturing in Luoyang, he also relied on Duke Wenlu, who guarded Henan Mansion." Cheng Hao opened his mouth to discuss with his brother Cheng Yi, "Anyway, Gong Wen Lu has a kindness to Uncle Zihou's cousin, and I still have to persuade Yukun today and let him not quarrel with him." In this way, he can repay the kindness of Uncle Zihou's old recommendation, and for Yukun himself, it will also not damage his reputation. ”

Unlike his brother, who always has a gentle smile, Cheng Yi always has a straight face and is extremely serious: "Wen Lugong did a bad job, but Han Yukun can't be wrong." When he came, he had to admonish. ”

Cheng Hao nodded, no matter what Han Gang said, he was his student, and he couldn't watch him do something wrong. Fighting with Wen Yanbo, a veteran, for the sake of saving face, the world will only say that Han Gang is at fault, and the young official has no face in front of the old minister, and if he doesn't respect the old, that's wrong!

It's past noon. Han Gang made an appointment to visit yesterday in the afternoon. Cheng Yi put down the book in his hand and looked at the sunlight outside: "Han Yukun is about to arrive, right?" ”

Cheng Hao shook his head: "I haven't heard the shouting yet!" After all, it was the first day of ascension, and I don't know how long it would be delayed. "The Cheng family is not wealthy, the house is small, sitting in the backyard of the house, you can hear the Taiping song sung by the merchants who come to and go to the mansion on the street in front.

But the Si Yan of the Cheng family ran over from the front yard in a hurry at this time, and even forgot all the etiquette rules that had always reminded him. In front of the two famous Confucians, Dacheng and Xiaocheng, he gasped: "Xiao Han Longtu has arrived, and he is asking to see him outside." ”

Cheng Hao and Cheng Yi didn't expect that Han Gang was not wearing a purple robe and a gold belt, nor did he bring his flag, but changed into civilian clothes and arrived in front of Cheng's mansion in a light car.
