Chapter 219: The Imperial Horse Supervisor Wang Tong's Mansion
The twelve eunuchs of the inner court, the celebrant is the head of the inner officials, but the imperial horse eunuch has a status not inferior to the celebrant under the intentional support of the royal family.
The Imperial Horse Supervisor has military power in his hands, and this armed force is the most powerful armed force in the Forbidden City and the capital, and is the last guard of the royal and imperial city.
With military power and financial power in hand, he naturally has the power to speak hard, and the eunuchs in the imperial horse prison are not inferior to the eunuchs in the ceremonial supervisor.
Moreover, in order to balance the Heavenly Family, the eunuch of ceremonies and the eunuch of the imperial horse will not easily be a faction, and because the imperial eunuch holds the power of the army, the three eunuchs of the imperial horse eunuch, the superintendent, and the commander will not be a force.
This is the eunuch Zhang Jing from Yuwang's Mansion After he made the palm print eunuch, the supervising eunuch and the admiral eunuch have always refused to use the so-called old man of the East Palace.
Supervising the eunuch Huang Yang to teach in the martial arts hall, the position was vacant, Zhang Cheng recommended Zou Yi to go up, because Zhang Cheng and Zhang Whale are both old people in Yuwangfu, and they have always been good friends for many years on errands together, so Zhang Cheng's righteous son Zou Yi did not get this position, but was served by Lin Shulu, who was more familiar with Zhang Cheng and them.
The admiral eunuch was responsible for training soldiers and horses, and was responsible for the general affairs of the army, while it was the overseer eunuch who was responsible for the supply of ordnance, the turnover of grain and grass, and the supervision of all kinds of illegal matters.
King Lu's companion Lin Shulu held this position, and no one could say anything, after all, Lin Shulu's qualifications were also there, and in order to serve His Royal Highness King Lu, several opportunities to join the ceremonial supervisor were refused, and it was also the right thing to go to the imperial horse eunuch on an errand.
Lin Shulu is known for his prudence and caution in the palace, and he went to the Imperial Horse Prison to have real power, and I don't see how arrogant he is, and he is still an errand in his duty.
Even if he was a little uncomfortable with him in his heart, and he didn't like it, he couldn't find anything wrong for a while, not to mention that Feng Bao, the eunuch who was in charge of the seal of the celebrant and the eunuch, knew that he couldn't reach out to the imperial horse eunuch, so he didn't care, Feng Gonggong didn't care, and everyone else also acquiesced to this fact.
Lin Shulu also brought some old people to the Imperial Horse Supervision Office, and these people are also very careful, they are all diligent and diligent, and they don't go to make money and make trouble.
On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, most of the celebrant and the imperial horse supervisor went to rest, leaving a few people who were on duty, but Lin Shulu never went back.
"Gonggong Lin, there is something wrong with the account of Long Xiang Zuowei, there is an expenditure of 11,000 taels here, saying that it is to buy 300 horses, and to buy a pair of horse harness and weapons, but according to the instructions of the father-in-law, the small ones only went to the head of each battalion to count the armor and horses, and Long Xiang Zuowei's side only had 30 more horses than last year, this account is flat, but the money and things do not match."
The house was made of fine silver charcoal, and the white copper stove was baked, very warm, Lin Shulu sat there as if he was drowsy by the heat, but when he heard this report, his eyes immediately opened, and he asked with a smile:
"Accurate?"
"Back to my father-in-law's words, yes, Zou Yi, the supervisor of the left guard, withdrew 11,000 taels of silver to buy horses in our prison's treasury in September, and also brought back the voucher receipt, and the inventory of the horses of the left guard is 1,260 horses, which is only 30 more than when Huang Gonggong was here last year."
Lin Shulu shook his head and smiled and said:
"It's nearly 10,000 taels of silver inside and out, this kid has been in the internal official prison for a long time, and it is inevitable that he will think about it when he comes to the imperial horse prison."
Several eunuchs who checked the accounts didn't dare to make a sound when they heard Lin Shulu's evaluation, and stood there with their heads bowed and hands bowed respectfully, Lin Shulu raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile:
"Our family heard that there are firecrackers outside the imperial city, and it looks like the New Year is coming, isn't it, a few of you are busy in the month, and it's time to rest, a red envelope of one hundred taels per person, and someone will give it when you go out."
"Thank you, Grandpa Lin, this is all the duty of the little ones."
Lin Shulu nodded and smiled, and said softly:
"You guys will spend a few years together, maybe there is something urgent to call you!"
After speaking, he waved his hand lightly, and several eunuchs retreated respectfully, and as soon as they went out, two more eunuchs in black robes entered the room, and the face of the supervising eunuch Lin Shulu sank, and he commanded in a cold voice:
"The doors and windows of this house are sealed, and people are arranged to guard them in shifts for twelve hours, and the few audits are all taken care of, without the orders of our family, they can't talk to others, and they can't go out of that yard."
The two black-robed eunuchs bowed down to receive the order, Lin Shulu walked out of the room with a smile, and a little eunuch in Tsing Yi hurriedly ran over with a goose feather coat, put on a belt for Lin Shulu, and said earnestly:
"Father-in-law Lin, you are still working so hard for the New Year, but you have to pay attention to your body!"
Lin Shulu slapped the little eunuch's head angrily, and scolded with a smile:
"Little rabbit, you're going to do something, have you bought all the things we asked you to buy in Shima Lane?"
"Gonggong Lin, your orders, how dare you forget the little ones, the things have been sent to your residence, the same is the same, Lord Lu must like it tightly when he sees it."
The little eunuch was articulate, and Lin Shulu casually threw over a gold bill, and the eunuch accepted it with great gratitude.
There were already sporadic firecrackers outside the palace, and everyone in the palace had a look of joy on their faces, after all, it was almost the New Year.
These few people who died in the palace must not stop, and must be immediately incinerated and buried outside the palace, so as not to collide with the nobility in the palace, Jiang Zhonggao went silently.
"Brother Lu, the affairs of the Public Security Department and the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion are so busy, and they are here for the New Year, why are you still rushing over! ”
On the afternoon of the 29th day of the lunar month, Lu Wancai, a very popular official in Beijing, also came to Tianjin and personally visited Wang Tong.
Seeing his own people, Wang Tong was naturally happy in his heart, but in this era, the New Year is a bigger thing than the sky, and Lu Wan rushed over, so something big happened.
Asking this question, Lu Wancai said nonchalantly:
"This has been with the family for decades of the Spring Festival, this time they are fresh at home, but brother, you let it out outside, brother is going to accompany the New Year."
Wang Tong shook his head with a smile, and hurriedly invited into the house, it was still convenient to tidy up a small living room inside, and the two of them sat down, and Lu Wancai said:
"This time, Father-in-law Zhang and Father-in-law Zou took care of each other, and they also brought some things over, which are nothing more than snacks and gadgets in the capital, and when the time comes, give the old and young points, so as not to be deserted outside for the New Year."
The rich families in Tianjin City are just buying some wine and meat for the New Year, getting some fish and shrimp, Wang Tong has already purchased chicken, duck and fish, mountain and sea delicacies, and such a big family, how can it be deserted, but the other party is kind and still smiled and thanked.
It has been less than a month since Wang Tong left the capital division, and the various situations have not changed much, most of them are carried out in the expected track, and the destruction of the Anping Marquis Fang family has made Wang Tong have a judgment on his status in the emperor's heart, and Lu Wancai has to ask the details of the fierce battle with the bandits and thieves, and he is also embarrassed and amazed.
But both sides know that just to accompany the New Year, or to condole, then Lu Wan does not have to make a special trip to Tianjin around the Spring Festival, there is no high-speed rail or bullet train between Beijing and Tianjin in this era.
"The Public Security Department has a scale, but there are several difficulties, if you want to have more news, you need more people, but all of them are counted in the establishment of the Yamen, all aspects will not be allowed, there are too many people, many people make up news in order to take this money, these words have already had signs, Zhang Gonggong and Zou Gonggong are very unhappy, and often have to send people from Xue Baihu to verify it again, but it will become an errand in the East Factory, and the Public Security Department itself is meaningless?"
After a few words of greeting, Lu Wancai raised his question, and Wang Tong replied with a little hesitation:
In order to avoid them from making up, it is necessary to set up another team, these people are randomly selected to review the news, to avoid fabrication and fabrication, and then there must be rules, fabricated and fabricated to be severely punished, if the information is accurate and useful, then there must be a reward, these rules must also set up a team of people to enforce."
It is said that this visit is a lively New Year, and a few words to the point, Lu Wancai was a little embarrassed, but what Wang Tong said was reasonable, and he listened attentively.
"One team to do things, one team to verify, one team for rewards and punishments, these three teams can't Brother Lu, if one person catches it in his hands, it is easy to have drawbacks, and secondly, it will be suspicious, it is better to let Zou Gonggong and Xue Baihu each have a team, it seems that we are open-minded, and it is not easy to have accidents."
Lu Wancai still held the signboard-like folding fan in winter, knocked it on his palm, nodded and said:
"Brother Wang's words made my brother suddenly, and only in this way can errands be done clearly, and there is a check and balance when they are restrained and monitored by each other."
The organizational form of business, finance and auditing of modern companies that restricts each other can be said to be the advanced form of human organization for thousands of years.
"Those who record the news of the writer must choose a reassuring person, to have a family guarantee, but also willing to give money, upload and distribute, all rely on them to record the relay, this link is the most important must not be wrong, the analysis of the news of the person would rather lack than abuse, must have an official identity, and we are reliable of our own people."
Wang Tong got up and walked a few steps, and said in a deep voice:
"Don't think that this security department is our own yamen, we must firmly grasp it in our hands, this is the emperor's, it is our Ming, you must not have any selfish intentions, otherwise your ears and eyes will be sensitive and you will know the secrets, and that is the way to die."
Lu Wancai also stood up with a cautious expression, as if the lower officials were listening to the words of the upper officials, Wang Tong was just about to continue, when suddenly the sound of firecrackers outside rang out, everything was settled, and then it was the New Year......
