Su Ziming, as the shopkeeper of Jinlilai's Jinan branch, of course, faithfully carried out the orders of the big boss Yang Zhi. A large mansion was purchased in the city and reserved for the yamen of the Jinan Customs Branch. A spacious village courtyard was purchased outside the city, and reserved for many officials to rest, raise horses, and train places.

The soldiers and horses did not move, and the grain and grass went first. This was all done when Yang Zhi stayed in Penglai and ordered Su Ziming to step up the purchase. On the night of resting at the official post outside Jinan, Su Ziming sent two capable men to visit him early for him to listen to at any time.

According to Yang Zhi's concept, he monopolized power during his term of office and built the Yamen, the governor of customs, into a powerful department that was relatively independent within the current bureaucratic system of Great Xia, with independent law enforcement powers, and independent accounting and financial powers.

Hu Weizhi's worries are unfounded. It was precisely because of the lack of money that the emperor would set up the yamen of the customs governor. Local taxation is absolutely not allowed to be touched by Yang Zhi, and Yang Zhi really doesn't look down on it. If even a few pieces of loose silver for the establishment of a branch office are chased after the butt of the local prefect to beg for it, isn't it holding a golden rice bowl to ask for rice? Lao Tzu can't afford to lose this person.

As soon as I stepped into the city, I heard that there was a branch office and a courtyard of the customs yamen, and the pride and sense of belonging that arose spontaneously from many people were self-evident.

Liu Er can be called the head snake on the border of Shandong, and he has been with pirates for a while. Yang and Ma Zhou assisted Liu Er and properly arranged the group. He also ordered Liu Er and Cao Yuncheng to stay in Jinan together and select 30 people from the remaining 80 people.

Except for the Ma family brothers and other ten people, the rest of the Hu Cong, no matter what their background was, after all, they were all labeled as "pirates". It has been less than a month since he was selected to follow Yang Zhi, and if he said that he had been reborn and his loose and banditry had been eliminated, Yang Zhi himself would not believe it for the first time. These servants are all sturdy men, although they have followed Yang Zhi without worrying about food and clothing, and have a worry-free future. But the little bit of nature in a man's bones is difficult to hold.

Before the sun set, Liu Er came to report: "Master Hou, the villain has settled the brothers according to your instructions. ”

"Hmm. It's hard work Brother Liu. Remember to tell them to stay honest with me for the past few days. Don't make things happen for no reason. ”

"Yes. Master Hou, this ...... This one....... Liu Erzhi said hesitantly: "Master Hou, the brothers have been following the orders for a long time, and their performance is acceptable. …… There are many brothers who come back to Jinan for the first time, and they all want to go out to enjoy the prosperity of Fucheng. The brothers asked me to come and ask Master Hou, did you ask them to ......? ”

Yang Zhi's face sank, and he interrupted: "Appreciate the prosperity of Fucheng? To put it bluntly, it's an itchy mouth, right? I won't stop you if you want to go, but if you go, you don't have to come back! Including you! It's only been a few days, huh? After settling down in the future, are you afraid that you won't have a chance to go out and go crazy? A bunch of idiots! ”

Then he slowed down and said, "Brother Liu." There is a saying that those who achieve big things are not informal, but there is another sentence that there are no rules and no circle! Do you know why I ordered you and Yun Cheng to pick out thirty people? It is to show fairness and justice. I guess you have also vaguely guessed that I want to leave you and Ma Zhou and those thirty people in Jinan. Because Jinan is not as good as Penglai, you are my old brother, I can trust you! But even if I give you a scripture strategy, can you ask yourself? ”

Liu Er replied timidly: "Master Hou, the villain was originally like a lonely soul wandering in the rivers and lakes. It is a great fortune to be appreciated by the Hou Ye. Don't be afraid of Hou Ye's jokes. All the words that the villain knows add up to less than a hundred, and he doesn't dare to have excessive expectations. ”

Yang Zhi said bluntly: "People go to high places, and water flows to low places." Who doesn't like high-ranking officials? With all due respect, you're only half-truthful, but you're still a little self-aware. You can rest assured. As long as you are content with your duty, I will naturally not treat you badly. I don't need to say more, you also know that the Great Xia Imperial Court was not opened by my family after all. I don't dare to say that a five-grade actual military attache title should be stable and can't run. ”

According to the official system of Great Xia. The actual five-rank military attache has been at the same level as the general in the army. Although he may not have the opportunity to lead the army as a general in the future, at least he has that qualification.

From a killer to a pirate, from a pirate to a general, this is simply Hanako won the Mark Six jackpot! Liu Erden was overjoyed, knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you for the cultivation of the villain!" ”

A "cultivation" made Yang Zhi involuntarily think of the obscene-looking Kuomintang officers in the film and television dramas of his previous life, and he felt very tired in his heart. The beating and pulling had already had its effect, and he frowned and said, "You go down first!" Well done. ”

Yang Zhi originally wanted to leave Liu Er in Jinan, but this made him hesitate. If Liu Er is like this, what will happen to Cao Yuncheng? After Liu Er retired, he only took Cao Yuncheng with him and went to Jinli to Jinan Branch.

Su Ziming fell from Beiyan Bapin County to a pirate, of course, he is a very discerning person. Since Yang Zhi didn't like fancy and practical, after welcoming the door, he only arranged a banquet of four meats, one vegetable and one soup, and talked while eating. In such a private occasion, Yang Zhi did not treat Cao Yuncheng as an entourage, neither avoided nor treated him slowly, and pulled him into the table together.

Usually, as long as you leave home in Chang'an, the emperor you deal with will not have a worry-free person. Now that he finally doesn't have to look at other people's faces, he is completely up to himself, and Yang Zhi is naturally much more relaxed. As soon as he entered the door, he instructed the little guy who answered the door to stay here tonight.

After three rounds of drinking, Yang Zhi took out a stack of silver tickets that had been prepared in front of Cao Yuncheng, and got to the point: "Brother Su, there are 1.5 million taels here. In both cases and reason, there should be a clear distinction between public and private, and the purchase of a house and other expenses paid by the semicolon must be settled clearly. The remaining silver taels are reserved for the establishment of the branch. ”

After abandoning the sleek businessman, Su Ziming's shrewd and capable nature does not need to be hidden. In Cao Yuncheng's dry swallowing saliva, he took the thick stack of silver tickets without refusal: "There is a clear distinction between public and private, and it should be so." ”

Yang Zhi then asked, "I forwarded Brother Su's "Interim Regulations of the Governor of the Great Xia Customs", have you ever received it?" Has it been printed? ”

I didn't want Su Ziming, who was indifferent, so he got up solemnly and bowed down: "Hou Ye's kindness and righteousness, although the villain is dead, he will not dare to be ashamed!" How dare you say that it will be printed? The core of the regulations is all written by Hou Ye, even if you find an ordinary scribe to organize it. I implore Hou Ye to be aware that Su is not a person who deceives the world and steals fame, and he does not dare to be greedy for heaven's merits! ”

Among the literati of this era, there is a popular saying: It is better to be ashamed of stealing gold than to be humiliated by stealing literature.

As soon as Yang Zhi heard this sentence, he scoffed. A person is so poor that he dares to steal money, what else can't he do? Literati are afraid that they will not be famous, are they still afraid of plagiarism? What's more, Su Ziming can only be said to be an extension at best, and the original creators of the core ideas don't mind at all, can you count it as plagiarism?

Why are they so unworrying? Yang Zhizhi couldn't wait to give Su Ziming a few kicks, considering the difference between ancient and modern, he couldn't help but say: "Brother Su is too worried." Do you know that I ordered you to print the regulations in order to be used in a hurry? (To be continued......)
