In November of the Ming Dynasty, the weather has turned cooler, and most of the people of Jianchang have changed into thick cotton jackets. After Xu Liang visited Huang Weizhong, he got Huang Weizhong's promise, and his heart was already settled.

But there is also one thing that makes Xu Liang feel unhappy.

After Xu Liang's inquiry, Xu Liang realized that his big boss was actually a eunuch and eunuch!

Da Ming Si Rite Supervisor Bingbi Eunuch, Dongchang Governor Wei Zhongxian!

Although the name sounds scary, a eunuch is a eunuch after all, and with such a person, Xu Liang feels that he will not be able to raise his head in the future. After Xu Liang came back, he thought about quitting, but he held back, because as Xu Liang heard more news, the more shocked Xu Liang became.

This Wei eunuch is really a great eunuch who can be counted throughout the ages. His power is too big, his party is too strong, and his henchmen are too many.

Xu Liang inquired, and the eunuchs who were ranked number one were: Gu Bingqian, the first assistant of the cabinet, Zhou Yingqiu, the secretary of the ministry, Cui Chengxiu, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Tian Ji, the secretary of the military department, Shi Cui Yingyuan, the commander of Jinyiwei, Xu Xianchun, the commander of the servant, Ni Wenhuan, the Taichangqing, and Li Kuilong, the left deputy of the imperial history.

This is the number that can be ranked, and there are those who can't be ranked, how many should there be?

For example, Yang Bangxian, the governor of Jiangxi, and Huang Weizhong, who participated in politics on the left.

Xu Liang shuddered, standing on the opposite side of such a huge interest group, Xu Liang could have died like how miserable he should have died.

After returning from Nanchang Mansion, Xu Liang was busy with the daily affairs of the main bookkeeper, while taking care of Liang Ji's business, and maintained a serious colleague relationship with the newcomers Lu Xiancheng and Jiang Dianshi.

Liang Ji soap paste has entered the right track, and now the whole Jianchang knows that there is a Liang Ji firm that manufactures Liang Ji soap paste in the county, and almost all the big inns and big hotels know that there is a Liang Ji in Jianchang City that deals with furnace ash and grass ash at a low price.

In November of the sixth year of the Apocalypse, Liang Ji made a total profit of two hundred and sixty-seven taels of silver. Xu Liang was overjoyed, and distributed five taels of bonus silver to each department minister, of course, Feng Suqin got a double share, according to Xu Liang, people have two departments, the management department and the finance department, of course, to give double shares.

According to the report of the new head catcher Hu Xiaoyong, several robberies have occurred in the remote towns of Makou, Hengfeng, Shanjiao, Qiujin and other towns in Jianchang, and there are also girls missing. Xu Liang slapped the table angrily, called a group of people to catch him, and scolded a bloody dog.

Hu Xiaoyong waited for his boss Xu Zhushu to finish scolding, and shrank his head and shouted.

"My lord, it's not that we don't work hard, it's really because we have too few people, you see that we have only more than 30 people combined, Jianchang County is so large, and the towns are so far apart, the small ones have three heads and six arms, and they can't take care of it."

When Xu Liang heard this, he secretly said that this is really a problem, there are fifteen townships under the jurisdiction of Jianchang County, and there are only two people in front of this gang of goods, and one town is evenly divided. It's really too busy.

Xu Liang waved his hand irritably and shouted, "Don't talk so much about people, I'll figure out a way." He yelled at Hu Xiaoyong: "Listen to Hu Xiaoyong, you have been keeping an eye on me these days, and find out where the robbers and robbers appeared!" ”

After that, Xu Liang turned around and went to Wang Zhixian to apply for a quick shift to increase manpower.

Wang Zhixian was also numb when he heard this, and brought the county and the history of the county to discuss.

Lu Chengyuan looked thinner and thinner, and he pondered for a while before he said, "What Lord Xu said is also the truth, but where does the increased manpower salary come from?" ”

Xu Liang said casually: "Lord Lu, the salary can be apportioned to the people, a total of sixty or so people will be added, how much silver can be spent." ”

When Lu Chengyuan heard this, he sneered and said: "Lord Xu said lightly, Jianchang is not as good as Suzhou and Hangzhou, the people are not wealthy, and their own taxes are quite heavy. ”

"Then find a few rich businessmen to apportion, there is always money in the rich businessmen." Xu Liang glared.

Before the words fell, the classic history Jiang Zhunan sneered: "Lord Xu doesn't know, the government must obtain a clear order from the court to apportionment to the wealthy, and the official document is written. And on what grounds? Could it be that Jianchang's fast catcher is not enough, and he can't catch a few little thieves? Hmph, when Master Ge was there, he was able to turn it over, how did it get into the hands of your Lord Xu, and there were not enough people? ”

"You!" Xu Liang heard that his anger surged upward, this tall and big face Jiang Zhunan has never given himself a good face since he came to Jianchang, relying on the fact that there is a Lu Xiancheng to support him, and he doesn't take himself seriously at all.

"Alright, alright, don't make any noise." Wang Zhixian saw that the more he talked about it, the more stiff it became, and if he continued to talk, he almost started fighting, so he hurriedly stopped, and he didn't have any good way, so he began to say to the mud: "Brother Xu, I think this matter is quite difficult, and I am afraid that it will not be possible to expand the sixty catchers at once, so let's just make up for the six catchers who were vacant a while ago." ”

Wang Zhixian turned to Lu Chengyuan and asked, "Lord Lu, there's nothing wrong with this." ”

Lu Chengyuan thought for a while, and said, "If it's just to fill in the gap, then it's naturally no problem." ”

The meeting ended unhappily.

After Lu Jiang and the others left, Wang Zhixian said apologetically to Xu Liang: "Brother Xu, if you add manpower, you have to add silver, and this money and grain are under the management of the surnamed Lu, if he can't pass the pass, the county will not be able to do it." ”

Xu Liang arched his hand and said: "Where does the county zun say, he can make up for the vacancy, and the lower officials are already very grateful." It's just that there are so few people to catch fast, and the security of this county cannot be guaranteed. ”

Wang Zhixian glanced at Xu Liang, knocked on the table with one hand, and said faintly: "This Jianchang is chaotic, this county has received several cases of grievances in the past few days, such a big matter, it should also be reported to the prefect's yamen, of course, this county heard that Brother Xu has some ways to make the political envoy yamen, if the above can also pay attention to Jianchang's difficulties, it would be better." ”

Xu Liang's heart moved when he heard this, and he raised his eyes to look at Wang Zhixian, only to see Wang Zhixian with a strange smile on his face.

Xu Liang returned to the main library and wrote two reports, one to the Jiujiang Branch Shoudao Yamen, and the other to the Nankang Prefecture Governor's Yamen. In the morning, he ordered someone to send him out, and in the afternoon, he was returned by the history room.

Xu Liang was furious when he saw this, and went to the history room after copying two reports, and the two officials who passed by on the road saw Xu Liang and hurriedly saluted, and when they saw Xu Liang walking straight away with an angry face, the two officials were a little confused, and they didn't understand why the master was so angry.

Entering the Dianshi room, Xu Liang saw Jiang Dianshi and Lu Xiancheng sitting and chatting over tea at a glance.

Xu Liang threw the two reports in front of Jiang Zhunan with a snap, and the tea in front of Jiang Dianshi was shaken out. Xu Liang shouted angrily: "Jiang Zhunan, why didn't this official's report go out? As a county canonical history, what crime should you be guilty of sealing and returning the report of Shangguan for no reason? ”

Jiang Dianshi took a rag, carefully wiped the tea stains dry, and said slowly: "Lord Xu is angry, as the history of Jianchang Dianshi, he should be responsible for every official document sent and received, and the lower official checked Lord Xu's report, and the lower official thinks that the adult's report is untrue, and it is a ......."

"Fuck your shit!" Xu Liang jumped to his feet and scolded.

"Lord Xu!" Lu Chengyuan, who was sitting on the side, shouted solemnly: "If you have something to say, pay attention to your identity." ”

"Yo, Lord Lu is also here!" Xu Liang sneered, he took out the report in the envelope, unfolded it in front of Lu Jiang and the others, and said: "That's right, please also ask Lord Lu to take a look at it, be a witness, and see where Xu Mou's report is lying!" ”

"Xu Liang!" Seeing this, Jiang Dianshi stood up angrily and shouted: "Originally, Jiang still respected you as a Shangguan and wanted to save some face for you, but since you are so reckless today, then don't blame the lower official for speaking badly." ”

Jiang Dianshi pointed to Xu Liang's report and said: "Here, you said that on December 11, the old man Liu in Makou Town lost a number of domestic animals, and here, on December 16, Shanjiao Town reported that many girls disappeared for no reason. Hmph, such a confession, isn't it unreal! ”

Xu Liang's lungs were about to explode, and he shouted: "It's a shame that Lord Jiang is also a person who has read the sage books for a few years, and if he actually said such a thing, people who don't know will think that you, the prisoner of the country, were exchanged for silver." ”

"You!" Jiang Dian Shi Qi Dao.

Xu Liang pointed to the place pointed out by Jiang Dianshi just now, and shouted: "On December 11, Old Man Liu in Makou broke the pen and took away a pig overnight. Also, on the evening of December 16, two girls suddenly disappeared on their way back from washing clothes by the river. Let me ask you, is more than one a lot?! ”

"You, you're distorting the facts!" Jiang Zhunan shouted with red eyes.

"Hmph," Xu Liang threw down a sentence fiercely: "The surname Jiang, Lao Tzu sues you, whether these two reports are sent or not is up to you, a few days later, Lao Tzu will go to Nankang Mansion and Jiujiang Road to verify, if the government and Jiujiang Road have not received Lao Tzu's report, you just wait for Lao Tzu's impeachment, don't pick up your dog skin, Lao Tzu Xu Zi writes upside down!" After speaking, Xu Liang didn't look at Lu Chengyuan and Jiang Zhunan, slammed the door, and slammed the door.

"Rascals, ruffians!" Jiang Zhunan trembled with anger, "It's insulting!" ”

Lu Xiancheng sat on the side, stunned and didn't know what he was thinking.
