Chapter 399: Stabbing Lou Zi
The most unbearable thing for Tang Yi in the Ming Dynasty was the lack of establishment, taking the city as an example, responsible for the tribute trade, so many countries and merchants, millions of taels of material exchanges, and as a result, there were four people in the formal establishment, one from the fifth grade, two from the sixth grade, and one from the ninth grade.
As for the establishment of the prefect's yamen, there are not many establishments, one prefect, one co-knowledger, several general judgments, one magistrate, one experience, one governor, one zhaomo, one school inspection, and one prison, which add up to two slaps.
There are hundreds of thousands of people in a government, and there are so many government affairs involved, so many miscellaneous people, this point is definitely not enough, and things cannot be left undone, so they can only spend money to hire people. The master belongs to the chief's own staff, and if the chief pays for it himself, it is not enough to pay for it, and he has to hire people, isn't this forcing corruption to collect money!
As for the personnel who also need to do things in the yamen, such as watchmen, guards, and arrests, these dirty jobs have become miscellaneous labors, and they have to be recruited from the common people in turn, which has become a big burden for the common people. In addition, there are some people who need to be literate and hyphenated, and can write and calculate, so they have to be recruited from the locality, they don't eat the court's money, except for a little poor moon silver from the yamen, they live by eating the common people.
The six-room scribes have their own way of making money, and the promotion of the clerks and the clerks has always been the fattest; The house management collects money and grain, which is a large piece of fat; The ceremonial room is in charge of sacrifices, exams, and more or less able to eat some readers; The barracks manage the post station, manage the city defense, and can donate to the city; The criminal chamber is in charge of the complaint, the case is in charge, and the defendant eats the plaintiff, and they are the ones who are talking about it. As for the construction of workshop pipes, you can also get a little bit from the bricks and wood.
The so-called light and thin endowment sounds good, but just like living at home, some money must be spent, and things must be done. If you don't, you'll get it back in another way, and the price will only be greater. Although the court has reduced the number of officials, it seems that the expenses are smaller, but the small officials below will be deprived from the common people exponentially, and the common people are even more unlucky.
Of course, with Tang Yi's status, he didn't change the official system, and he didn't have that mind, the advantage of having few people and few people, at least he could wantonly cronyism. Promote the people you like.
Of the two deputy promotions, Tang Yi gave one to Hai Rui, and the other he left to Zhao Wen, and as for the officials, it fell on Yang Wenyu.
Needless to say, Zhao Wen once taught Tang Yi, and he was a jinshi of Tang Shen's same department, so he was ready to use it when he was on the list. As a county magistrate, he is very capable and quite reliable. It's just that Zhao Wen doesn't dare to call himself a senior anymore. Even the senior brother didn't dare to admit it, so he could only call himself a subordinate official.
Tang Yi, as the commander, didn't have to play any courtesy corporal, but only said that he wanted to work together in the same boat to get the city division right.
As for Yang Wenyu, he was Wang Chen's master. Wang Chen went to Jizhen, Yang Wenyu was not used to the climate in the north, stayed in the southeast, and went to others as a master several times, but it didn't go well. A few days ago, I went to Taicang again. I still want to follow my old club. It happened that Tang Yi came back, and Yang Wenyu pondered it, so he still looked for Tang Yi. Tang Yi also lacked personnel at hand, so he took him to Quanzhou.
These four ...... No, it's five, Tang Yi also has a master, that is, Tang Hezheng, I don't know what Tang Shunzhi thinks, if he doesn't take his son to train him well, he has to give it to Tang Yi.
At first, Tang Yi was really puzzled, but along the way, he also understood that Tang Hezheng, the baby, was facing a genius father, who had been in the shadows since birth, and the strong pressure made him silent, dull, and full of little nerds. A person who is less than twenty years old has the temperament of a forty or fifty year old. It's too calm, and it makes people feel depressed.
Tang Shunzhi didn't know the child's difficulties, but he was reluctant to pull down his face and mingle with his son, so he had to stuff it to Tang Yi.
On the third day of arriving in Quanzhou, Zhao Wen hurried over, and the city department held the first plenary meeting.
Tang Yi looked at his team, a paranoid Hai Rui, a greedy Yang Wenyu, and a problem child Tang Hezheng, so Zhao Wen looked normal, can they really do big things?
He doesn't look at others normally, but he doesn't know that in the eyes of these people, he is the biggest demon.
After being silent for a long time, Zhao Wen couldn't help it and asked, "My lord, what are you going to do about this opening of the sea?" What are we all going to do? ”
Tang Yi smiled slightly, "I was about to say, this year's time is limited, everything must be simplified, and strive to get the first batch of goods out as quickly as possible, as long as the first shot is fired, the rest of the things will be easy to do." At present, there are two major events, one is to acquire land at the port, and get out the warehouse area, accommodation area, and trading area, and the time is very urgent, and it is best to complete it within half a month. ”
As soon as he said this, Zhao Wen lowered his head first, it has never been easy to acquire land, and time is so tight, he is not sure at all.
Fortunately, Tang Yi didn't give him much hope, but looked at Hai Rui with encouragement.
Hai Rui didn't know what medicine he had taken wrong, so he lowered his head and thought for a while, and said, "My lord, in half a month, the New Year will be over, and the lower officials think it is best to complete it within ten days!" ”
He is worthy of being a real warrior, what a big breath!
Tang Yixin said that I didn't give you small shoes to wear, "Lord Hai, if you can really do it, this official will give you credit." ”
"No need, this is the duty of the lower officials."
Touched a soft nail again, anyway, Tang Yi was used to it, and he said to Zhao Wen again: "Then the second thing will bother you." ”
"Dare not serve your life."
"Okay, there is too much shortage of personnel in the city, and you will recruit fifty scribes within ten days, if you can write and calculate, it is best to find some interpreters who are proficient in the Yiren language."
Zhao Wen patted his chest and said, "This is easy, I'll do it immediately." ”
The two of them left, leaving Yang Wenyu and Tang Hezheng, Xiao Tang never spoke, but Yang Wenyu came closer, bared his teeth and smiled: "Adult, what can the little one do?" ”
"You?" Tang Yi paused and said, "Go and keep an eye on Hai Rui for me, who knows if this barbarian will cause a big incident!" ”
Yang Wenyu's eyes lit up, and it seemed that adults still trusted him.
"My lord, if Hai Rui makes a big fuss, does the little one have the right to stop him?" Unconsciously, Yang Wenyu has already regarded himself as Lord Qincha.
"No!" Tang Yi suddenly stood up and said loudly: "You listen to me, no matter what Hai Rui does, you must support him while telling me quickly, and you are absolutely not allowed to object!" ”
Jokes, Tang Yi still wants to leave a name in history, so that he won't have trouble with Hai Rui, at least not on the surface.
Yang Wenyu is like eating bitter melon, you trust Hai Rui so much, why do you let me watch it? He didn't dare to talk back to Tang Yi, so he could only do it honestly.
It didn't take three days for Yang Wenyu to give a thumbs up to Tang Yi's arrangement, and said in his heart that adults are really tall! At the same time, I am also exclaiming, Hai Rui, this brute is really ruthless!
Hai Daren locked himself in the county yamen for the first three days, a large plate of black flour cakes, a pot of boiling water, thousands of copies, decades of land change files, he stayed up for three days, his eyes were red, his black and thin face was more conspicuous, his cheekbones were high and bulging, but there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, he was already in his chest.
"Come on, order the third class of officials, and follow the official to the dock."
An order fell like a mountain, and Hai Rui rushed to the dock with a large number of officials. As the so-called ship is broken, there are still 3,000 big nails, rows of shops on the wharf, merchants who are constantly coming and going, especially when they hear the news of the opening of the sea, many overseas businessmen have rushed here, some are blonde and blue-eyed, some are red-haired, and some are as black as carbon.
Hai Rui went straight to the front of one of the largest Fujian tea houses and stopped.
The guy at the door saw Hai Rui and hurriedly ran over and knelt down to give a salute.
"The villain greets the big man and says hello to the big man."
"Tell your hosts to come out."
The young man hesitated, hurriedly got up, and said, "Please wait, the eldest master, I'll come in a while." After a while, a shrewd-looking middle-aged businessman walked out of it, saw Hai Rui, and hurriedly saluted.
"It's Lord Hai, when you take office, the small one is still going to greet you, you can always come to the shelter, it's really brilliant, hurry up and please, the small one has good tea to invite the adults to taste!"
"Not necessarily." Hai Rui sneered: "This official is here to do business, not to drink tea, three days ago, this official asked you to inform you that you want to requisition the land of the Ba Min Tea House, what do you think?" ”
This person hesitated for a moment, and said with a smile: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, Master Hai, how about we talk inside?" ”
"Let's talk here, do you say yes or not? Give it a good time. ”
"This ...... Master Hai, the little Wang Wu, I don't dare to say what kind of person he is, but he has been running a tea business in Quanzhou for more than 20 years, and this land is handed down by his ancestors, and even if his descendants are not filial, they will not dare to sell his ancestors' property. Master Wenhai is honest and honest, and he is most jealous and hateful, and you actually came to persecute the little one, which is really chilling! ”
Hai Rui's face was gloomy, unmoved, and sneered: "Wang Wu, is your ancestor's surname Zhang?" ”
"You, how do you curse?" Wang Wu was also angry.
"Hahaha, this official has already consulted the file, this land was sent by Zhang Defa fifteen years ago, their family was falsely accused by you, saying that they were co-widows, and they were all thrown into prison, but no evidence was found, Zhang De fell ill and died in prison, and his three sons were also all over the world, a good family, the family was ruined by you, and now, you still dare to occupy the real estate and land, it is really killable!"
Hai Rui gritted his teeth, pointed with his hand, and said angrily: "Take it!" ”
The officials were all frightened, and said in their hearts that after so many years of Chen sesame seeds and rotten grain, Hai Rui could turn them out, and Wang Wu should really be unlucky, so they took the iron rope and rushed up.
"Fifth Master, I'm sorry, come with us!"
At this time, a young man walked out of the tea shop, shook his head, and said, "Stop it for Young Master Ben, whoever dares to catch Wang Wu, I will cut off his dog's head!" ”
The officials were stunned for a moment, and Wang Wu suddenly laughed, "Master Hu, you want to call the shots for the little one!" ”
The young man held his mouth and said vividly: "Don't worry, my father is the governor of Zhejiang, looking at the southeast, who dares to touch me?" (To be continued.) )
