Chapter 129: Ripping Bamboo Sticks
Early in the morning of the second day, Lin Yi had just finished breakfast, when he saw a servant outside the government walk in and said, "My lord, the transfer envoy Lord Zhao and Lord Ti Shilu asked to see him, saying that he had something important to discuss!" ”
Lin Yi ordered: "Invite them to meet in the living room!" ”
After the official left, Lin Yi hummed a little song, put on his official clothes neatly, settled down, and walked towards the living room. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Oh...... It turned out that Lord Zhao and Lord Lu had arrived, it was really a long way to welcome, two adults, please take a seat! Lin Yi kowtowed to Zhao Jinpeng and Lu Hudi, and stretched out his hand to invite them to sit in the chairs in the living room.
The two sat down unceremoniously, Zhao Jinpeng glanced at Lin Yi, and asked with concern: "I heard that Lord Lin invited the gentry in the city to drink tea yesterday to discuss the matter of rent reduction and interest reduction, but he was caused a scene by the AP county government, but is there such a thing?" ”
Lin Yi nodded and sighed: "This mansion is also forced to have no choice, so I just thought of this plan." Now the people of Zhengding Mansion are living in hardship, and they really can't squeeze any oil and water, if they are forced harder, they are afraid that it will provoke a civil uprising, in order to complete the task of collecting money from the household department, the official has no choice but to ask these gentry for money, but I didn't expect that they would openly oppose it! Cough! Don't these people understand that there are no eggs under the nest? Speaking of this, he shook his head with a look of frustration.
Zhao Jinpeng comforted: "Lord Lin is doing the right thing, it's just that these gentry in Zhengding Mansion are too short-sighted!" Don't understand the whimsy of adults at all? Adults first dissipate their anger, don't be like them, go to your heart! ”
Brother Lu Hu also said a few words of comfort on the side, and persuaded Lin Yi to calm down and become kind again.
Lin Yi asked, "The two adults came to me today, what's the matter?" ”
Zhao Jinpeng and Brother Lu Hu glanced at each other, Zhao Jinpeng arched his hand and smiled: "Lord Lin, it's nothing, it's just that a few months ago, I was too diligent in my work, and I accidentally contracted a cold for a while, and I didn't care about it at the time, but in the past few days, I suddenly had a seizure, dizziness and brain swelling, and I couldn't be a director, so I wanted to take leave to go home to recuperate, and when I got better, I would serve the imperial court!" After that, he pretended to be sick on his face, as if he was really sick.
Hehe! It's time to run! Lin Yi didn't speak, but looked at Brother Lu Hu with his eyes and asked him, "Lord Lu, what idea have you made up your mind again?" ”
Brother Lu Hu's face turned red, and he arched his hand and said, "Xiaguan...... Xia Guan is because the grandmother of the family died of illness, so I want to go back to guard the system for her, adults don't know, my grandmother has watched me grow up since I was a child, and I am like my own grandmother, and I can't be filial piety! With that, there was a sad look on his face.
Well! This reason is also very reluctant, so it will be reasonable! It's just that this play has to be acted.
Lin Yi immediately covered his face with a trace of sadness, and arched his hand: "Two adults, Lin has just arrived, and he needs to borrow the prestige of the two adults to stabilize the rule of Zhengding Mansion...... It's really hard to stand alone! ”
Zhao Jinpeng said with a smile: "Lord Lin is young and promising, and it is not a problem to govern this small Zhengding Mansion!" Besides, there are Zhang Tuiguan and Yan Tixing to help you take care of the government affairs, there should be no problem. ”
Brother Lu Hu was busy echoing the road; "Yes! Oh, yes! Lord Lin will definitely be up to the task! ”
Lin Yi sighed and said, "This mansion is young and shallow, I'm afraid I can't afford it!" As he said this, he glanced at the two of them, pinched and grasped them with his right hand, and squeezed them upwards, and saw that the two of them looked at him in surprise, and did not speak, but simply closed all his eyes, and just kept repeating this action.
Brother Lu Hu saw it in his eyes and cast a questioning glance at Zhao Jinpeng. Zhao Jinpeng frowned, pondered for a moment, showed a bright smile on his face, and said, "Lord Lin, how much do you want?" ”
Lin Yi opened his eyes suddenly, and said with a smile: "It's still Lord Zhao who understands my thoughts!" It's not a secret, this mansion is in the capital, and there is a concubine, when you leave, you are already pregnant, you also know that this mansion can't go back in this Zhengding mansion, but you can't help but give the concubine in the capital, leave some money for future life, you see, can the two adults fund one or two? With that, he stared at the two of them.
This thick-skinned person is clear when he opens his mouth! Zhao Jinpeng scolded fiercely in his heart, and said with a smile: "Everything is negotiable...... Everything is easy to discuss, but I don't know how much Lord Lin thinks it is more appropriate. ”
When Lin Yi heard this, he lifted his spirits and said eagerly: "I don't need much, just one thousand taels of silver per person!" ”
One thousand taels, you ****** want too hard! There was a look of displeasure on Brother Lu Hu's face, Zhao Jinpeng hurriedly glanced at him, and said with a smile: "Lord Lin's word is a decision, I will send someone to send money immediately, and I will invite the adult to ...... when the time comes."
Lin Yi patted his chest and said nonchalantly: "Everything is wrapped up in me!" I'll take care of what happens! ”
"Huh! Lord Lin is refreshing! Zhao Jinpeng smiled, glanced at Brother Lu Hu, and left together.
When he went out, Zhao Jinpeng sneered: "This Lin Yi's life is really cheap!" Only a thousand taels of silver, and he sent it away! If it were me, I would never agree if I didn't want five thousand taels. He turned his head to Brother Lu Hu and said: "Lord Lu, don't be reluctant to spend money, you are corrupt and bribed a year, at least no less than seven or eight thousand taels, what is this thousand taels of silver?" Give him the money, and let's get on our way! ”
Brother Lu Hu nodded yes, and the two hurriedly walked to the mansion together, and after a short time, they took the seal letter, the account book and one thousand taels of silver each, and handed them to Lin Yi.
Lin Yi saw the silver, smiled, and sighed: "It's okay this time!" My concubine will not have to worry about food and clothing in the future, and I will arrange for someone to send the silver to the capital tomorrow! ”
Zhao Jinpeng and Brother Lu Hu arched their hands and said: "Lord Lin, please take care of this righteous matter." ”
Lin Yi took it in one bite, put away the seal letter and the financial book, and said with a smile: "Anyway, my dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, so I will take care of the two adults for a while!" He got up and sent the two of them out of the house, and hurriedly ordered someone to go and count the accounts, and after checking that they were correct, he personally sent the two of them out of the city.
"Take care of the two adults, this house misses you!" Lin Yi waved his hand vigorously and shouted loudly.
"We can't bear you!" Zhao Jinpeng and Lu Hudi waved in response, their faces were sad, especially Zhao Jinpeng, who even left two lines of tears in their eyes. This is not because of how good his relationship with Lin Yi is, but because he will no longer be able to get money from Zhengding Mansion in the future, so he shed sad tears!
"My lord, these two guys have embezzled a lot of people's fat and people's ointment! You see, there are more than 20 carts alone, and there are fifty or sixty soldiers accompanying the escort, so they must have heard some rumors, cough ......" Zhang Ji, who rushed to see him off after hearing the news, shook his head lightly, with a stunned expression.
Lin Yi looked at them silently for a while, a fierce light radiated from his eyes, and he said coldly: "They will be at ease soon, my lord, let's go back!" The two turned around and walked back, Lin Yi ordered someone to close the city gate, and took Ma Chao and a group of dart masters under him to go to the Tizhi Yamen together.
The military system of the Great Zhou Dynasty set up a Yamen in the local state capital to assist the local prefect and the governor to manage the local army and capture thieves in the territory, but the appointment and dismissal of the magistrate is attributed to the Privy Council, which is a bit similar to the relationship between the section chief and the deputy section chief in our later generations, and the section chief cannot be completely managed by the head of the deputy section chief, because the deputy section chief is appointed from above. Under the magistrate, there are battalions, each battalion of 500 people, the highest commander of the battalion is called the commander, and below the battalion there are all capitals, each of which is 150 people, and the commander of the capital is called the head of the capital, and there are three teams of 50 men in each team, and there is one captain.
After Lin Yi walked into the yamen of the Tizhi Division, he ordered someone to immediately send the cadres above the team to the lobby to meet him. After a short time, the commanders, the heads, the captains and others arrived one after another, and after seeing the prefect, they sat down in their seats.
When everyone was almost here, Lin Yi arched his hand and said: "My lords, Lu Ti's grandmother unfortunately died, so he went back to keep filial piety for his grandmother. ”
The generals hurriedly arched their hands and said: "Which is certain, please give me orders if there is something." ”
Lin Yi nodded and said, "Okay! Since this is the case, this official is not welcome, from today onwards, this Ma Chao brother next to me will act as the commander of the command, he was originally the battalion commander of the border pass, and he has been fighting with the Khitan all the year round, and has accumulated a lot of experience and military merits, and the government will rely on him militarily, and his orders are the orders of the government, which must be implemented. ”
Ma Chao was on the road and had already learned that Lin Yi was going to ask him to act as a substitute, so he stood up at this time and bowed to everyone.
Everyone was also busy returning salutes with him, and everyone has always admired the soldiers who came down from the border from the bottom of their hearts, and they are naturally very respectful.
Lin Yi also said: "In addition to Brother Ma, the government also has to set up a battalion commander in each battalion, each with a commander, and each team with a team instructor, which is served by the border soldiers brought by Brother Ma, and the original commander, the capital head, and the captain jointly manage the soldiers under them, and the two commanders will discuss and deal with them together, but the battalion commander, the commander, and the instructor have the final decision." When he spoke, he was very clear and clear, and his tone was very harsh.
"This ...... Isn't this tantamount to a seizure of power? The commanders, the capital, and the captain were in an uproar, exchanging heads and talking about each other.
Lin Yi lowered his face and said: "I heard that when Lu Ti was in charge, there were many commanders, capital leaders, and team members who were corrupt, and in order to strictly enforce military discipline and prevent similar accidents, this government had no choice but to do it. If you don't agree, you can leave immediately, and this government will not force you. However, he will need to check his accounts for the past few years before he can leave. ”
The commanders, the capitals, and the captains immediately opened their mouths, not daring to say another word. Depend on! When Lu Ti was here, who could be promoted without leaving or sending? Who is not corrupt, how can they honor their superiors? If you really check it, won't you catch everyone in the net? Anyway, when the new official took office, he didn't move his position, so why not agree to it.
Seeing that everyone had no objections, Lin Yi smiled and said, "Okay! In this case, this matter will be decided. In the future, everyone is not allowed to be corrupt and bribe-taking, drinking the blood of soldiers, the gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way, so he has to do it with me with peace of mind, and I will definitely ask everyone to follow me to get promoted and make a fortune. ”
Say it earlier! The commanders of the Tizhi Division, the heads of the capitals, and the captains immediately smiled happily.
