Chapter 688: Old Fritters
"Well, this official is relieved. Pen %fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info the little monkeys below, you don't have to be too harsh, it's also a good thing that young people are not afraid of the momentum, as long as you show them the direction, they can become big. Lord Ouyang instructed again.
"Yes, the subordinate will definitely teach them well according to the instructions of the adults." Hu Zhongcun should be the same as Lord Ouyang's minions.
"Hehe, go ahead, as long as the errand is done, none of us need to be afraid." Lord Ouyang waved his hand and smiled.
"Master Li, a letter from the household department." Just as Li Yang was chatting with a group of colleagues, a small official hurriedly walked over with a stack of folds.
Everyone was stunned, and their eyes looked at Li Yang in unison. Li Yang opened the top list and glanced at it, but it was the household department that sent the statistics on the collection performance of the yamen in various places last autumn, as well as the progress of the various errands of the yamen in the headquarters.
The duty of the Department of Examination of Public Officials is to examine the merits of officials, which not only needs to be submitted by the local yamen themselves, but also has to be evaluated by the department of the department, such as the tax department to assess, the case investigation conclusion needs to be assessed by the criminal department, etc., plus the local assessment of the imperial historians stationed in various places by the Metropolitan Procuratorate, only by synthesizing these evaluations can a conclusion be drawn and the promotion and demotion of officials can be agreed.
"Sit down, and the official will come when he goes." On an errand just now, Li Yang didn't know what to do, so he had to take the fold and go in to find Zhang Langzhong for guidance.
Zhang Langzhong has been on an errand for more than 20 years in the examination of the Qing Officials Division, and his experience can be described as old-fashioned, and he picked out the important ones that need to be re-approved by the company with just a slight glance.
"This Zhejiang's tax revenue is a bit bigger than last year's, and you will draw up a fold and send it to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, so that the local imperial history can check if there is anything greasy." Zhang Langzhong picked out a copy of the fold and handed it to Li Yang and commanded.
"And this, the penalty and dirty treasury of the household department is a big problem every year, when you are free one day, you can first say hello to Lord Langzhong Zhao of the household department, and ask him to send a few people plus our people to check the account books." Zhang Langzhong handed Li Yang another excerpt.
"My lord, let's go to the door to check, this is not good." Today's events are vivid, and each yamen has its own dignity, and it is especially taboo for other yamen to interfere in the affairs of the company.
"Hehe, it's too much to worry about, it's an annual convention. A few years ago, because of the severe corruption of the dirty treasury, the emperor cut off a few heads in a fit of anger and originally planned to remove them, but there was no place to put the things that were confiscated every year, so they stayed. From now on, our department and the household department will go to check the dirty treasury books every year, so you don't need to worry about them giving you a look. Zhang Langzhong explained with a smile.
"Oh, I see, Xia Guan understands, thank you for mentioning it." It's really an old-timer, and he knows everything about it.
Zhang Langzhong smiled and continued to look at the other folds, but all of them passed, and he raised his head and said: "It's not a big problem, you can find a few knife and pen clerks to register these folds in the book and put them in the warehouse." "These are all evidence that something will go wrong in the future, and they must be protected.
Zhang Langzhong said that he had free time, and he was just free every day in the examination of the Qing Officials Division, and Li Yang did not procrastinate, so he first drafted a notice to assist in the investigation and sent it to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and then took two subordinates to the household department to visit Zhao Langzhong of the Qing Officials Division.
"Hehe, three adults, please take a seat." Lord Zhao said enthusiastically.
Lord Zhao's name is Qiming, and he is the same age as Li Yang's boss Zhang Langzhong, and he is the same age as Li Yang's boss Zhang Langzhong.
"Your Excellency is polite, the lower official came this time on the order of my lord Zhang to cooperate with your lord to verify the dirty treasury account books." Li Yang put himself in the position of a supporting role, and Lord Zhao was very satisfied with it.
"Hehe, in that case, let's go when the three adults finish drinking this tea." Watching the handyman serve tea, Lord Zhao stretched out his hand and smiled.
The politeness in this officialdom is too cumbersome, and the distance between the two yamen is less than 100 steps, so where is the use of resting. Li Yang complained heartily, but still smiled and picked up the tea.
In addition to the errand location in the front yard, there is a warehouse such as a silver vault in the backyard, and there are several separate doors on the back wall for property to enter and exit, which is a separate system. Outside the back wall, nearly a hundred paces are not allowed to live at all, and there are 300 elite soldiers stationed in Beijing, plus 200 people patrolling and guarding their faces, which is enough for the thieves and thieves to avoid from afar.
Not only is it heavily guarded for outsiders, but even the officials of the household department have to enter and exit with the road issued by the squire or the shangshu.
Although Lord Zhao was a household official and had a road, after entering the backyard through a low doorway, there were still several fierce soldiers 'escorting' him to the punishment depot that was not very important.
Although the name of the Dirty Treasury is the Library, there is only a small courtyard and more than ten ordinary houses, and the guards are only one ambassador, one deputy envoy and seven miscellaneous servants. In an idle life, people are always willing to find some excitement, otherwise this life will be boring.
"Big, big, big!" "Small, small, small!" When Lord Zhao took Li Yang into the small courtyard, he heard bursts of shouting coming from a room.
Lord Zhao's face immediately fell, this group of bastards, they know how to gamble when they are idle, and they usually forget it, they obviously said hello yesterday, saying that it is very likely that the people from the Ministry of Officials will come to check the account books and count the stolen goods, so that they can take it easy, but they didn't expect their words to be the same as farting.
Pushing the door open, Lord Zhao stood at the door and stared coldly at the nine people who were pouting and gambling in a circle without speaking.
"Yo, isn't this Lord Zhao?" The short, fat middle-aged man who was sitting on the top suspected dealer immediately laughed when he saw Lord Zhao, and he was not afraid at all because he was found to be gathering people to gamble.
"Lord Ouyang, who made you gamble when you were on duty, did you forget the rules of the imperial court?" Lord Zhao said coldly.
When the rest of the people saw Lord Zhao angry, they immediately showed a panicked look, but Ouyang Fat Man had a smile on his face, and he didn't have the slightest fear at all.
"Hehe, Lord Zhao is serious, let's just have some fun when we are idle, how can we violate the laws of the imperial court, you always like to make a big fuss." Ouyang Fat Man said very facelessly.
"Lord Ouyang, you are presumptuous, believe it or not, the official immediately sent someone to take you and send you to Lord Shangshu to ask for sin?" Lord Zhao's face is even darker, this dead fat man doesn't give himself face in front of outsiders, it's too presumptuous!
He was not happy, Ouyang Fatty, who was disturbed by Yaxing, also lost his temper, and the sesame big five-grade official was too wide, and he didn't want to think about what Lao Tzu's uncle was, and he dared to talk to Lao Tzu like this.
"Lord Zhao, don't make a big fuss, no one looks good if you tear your face." Ouyang Fat raised his head and said very shyly.
"You ......" Lord Zhao was angry for a while, pointing at the fat man Ouyang who was speechless.
