Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Mastermind

Xu Yuanzuo likes Daming's shopkeeper responsibility system very much.

Although the proprietor is the owner, the shopkeeper has great authority in terms of operation, even far beyond later generations. Because in later generations, the Company Law imposed restrictions on corporate executives, but now it relies purely on personal trust.

In the firewood room of the Xu family, Xu Yuanzuo got the sales contract of Longqing for three years. Not only is it a large quantity, but it is also very affordable. This contract deed alone changes hands and is a lot of money. In order to ensure that this unfair contract has enough performance ability, Xu Sheng also wrote a sincere letter to Xu Yuanzuo: he said that he was very satisfied with the kickback given by Xu Yuanzuo.

If Xu Sheng wants to repent, deny, or even sue the official after regaining his freedom, then this letter will also make people feel shameful about his actions. What's more, the letter detailed that Xu Sheng owed thousands of taels of gambling debts outside and urgently needed silver taels to repay the debts, so he coerced and lured Xu Yuanzuo to do such dirty things that filled his pockets.

Coupled with the large number of IOUs in the hands of Qiu Laojiu and Niu Dali, it is enough to form a convincing chain of evidence.

Under the torture of the dog cage, in just one night, Xu Sheng signed all kinds of documents.

For the first time, Xu Yuanzuo felt the benefits of being proficient in the Da Ming Law, and wondered whether he should spend money to hire a famous lawyer in Songjiang Mansion. In the future, his status has risen, and he will not be able to handle all kinds of documents after all. What's more, a mature lawyer is also familiar with the officials in the yamen, and he is reliable, and has a greater role than the lawyers of later generations.

According to Xu Sheng's confession, the reason why he was sure to make Xu Yuanzuo unlucky this time was not only because he trusted Qiu Laojiu, but also because he had already taken care of the officials in Huating County.

The class of officials is the class that really does things. If officials hold substantive power, then officials hold procedural power. When officials are strong, they can completely ignore procedural issues and promote their own governance concepts, but in most cases, officials cannot break through the shackles of procedures.

In particular, many officials from the north have been assigned to Fujian, Liangguang and other places as officials, not to mention the concept of governance, and even daily life has become a problem. Since the Song Dynasty, the magistrates who were beaten by the Xu officials with clear knives and dark arrows do not know how many people are mortal.

There is a way to be an official who flows water, and he is beaten by iron.

Regardless of whether these local civil servants are established or not, they are hereditary in their families, and fathers, sons, and brothers are constantly attacked. Many key procedures are in their hands, and a replacement could lead to the paralysis of the entire bureaucratic system. There are even some officials who have mastered the real statistics, and he has the final say on taxes and miscellaneous labor. Without them, the most important part of the examination for officials cannot be completed.

It is no wonder that many scholars and doctors have criticized it: the authority of the world is in the hands of the officials.

From an investment point of view, the return of an investment officer is much greater than that of an investment officer. On the other hand, it is more costly and riskier to invest in a servant.

Even if an official has no discipline, he must have a reputation - otherwise he will be disgraced, and the director will not be able to mix in the officialdom.

The officials didn't care about anything. Seeing profit and forgetting righteousness, insatiable greed, this is their portrayal.

Xu Yuanzuo knew that he would inevitably have to deal with Xu Officials, but he didn't expect it to be so fast. I didn't expect that the start was a little unfavorable, and I directly faced the people in the torture room.

In his original design, by "one stroke can not write two Xu characters", like a vine wrapped around a tree, the Xu family's resources in Songjiang are borrowed, and the benefits are evenly distributed, which is the best choice. It's a pity that Xu Sheng's stupid guy actually publicized the ugliness of the Xu family. Now that people know that the Xu family brothers are not in harmony, it is inevitable that they will have more benefits.

Last night's participants thought they had caught a thief, and they didn't know Xu Sheng's identity, so they were excited for a long time. It wasn't until dawn that the garden was completely quiet. Xu Yuanzuo wanted to go back to the house to sleep for a while, but he couldn't stand that his body was too young, so he didn't feel tired, so he washed his face with cold water and simply didn't sleep.

He read some market research reports, and couldn't help but start thinking about what way to contact the county officials.

Xu Fan's status is too high, and he definitely can't do this kind of thing.

Xu Cheng hasn't been in Songjiang for too long, I'm afraid his connections have long been cut off.

Lu Fuzi is a student, but he does not take charge of lawsuits on weekdays, and only teaches a few Mengtong in the Yixue, so there is no way to come to this aspect.

An Liuye must have a way, but when he went to make friends with Xu officials, he first dyed himself black. It's a double-edged sword, and it's best not to use it. And no matter what era it is, it is better to have less contact with the underworld after all. The legendary "righteousness" does not exist at all for them, just look at how Qiu Lao Jiu sold Xu Sheng so simply this time.

"Manager, there's a Mr. Zhongjia visiting." Luo Zhenquan pushed the door in with sleepy eyes, and as he spoke, he picked up the strong tea on the bookcase and poured a few sips, Fang seemed much more energetic.

Xu Yuanzuo didn't even know the exact identity of Mr. Zhong Jia, so he stood up and said, "Please ask him to go to the East Reception Room...... Forget it, I'll go and meet him personally. ”

Mr. Zhong Jia should be the person next to Xu Fan, and he has the air of a mastermind. If it weren't for that, his arrival today would be a little suspicious.

"I came all the way here, and I heard that there was a thief in the garden last night?" Mr. Zhong Jia and Xu Yuanzuo didn't see each other, and they asked directly without greeting, as if they were their juniors.

Xu Yuanzuo was self-aware and gave a disciple salute: "Sir, don't worry too much, it's been settled." ”

Zhong Jia and Xu Yuanzuo walked inside, and said, "Have you reported to the official?" ”

Xu Yuanzuo knew that Zhong Jia was indeed just hearsay, and he didn't know what was going on, so he said with peace of mind: "Don't dare to report to the official." The thief didn't steal anything, and if he attracted the officials, it would be difficult to say. ”

It was the winter moon, but Zhong Jia still folded a fan in his hand and did not leave his hand. He smiled: "You are young, but you have a lot of concerns. However, it is necessary for you to be cautious, there is a way that 'officials are like tigers, officials are like cats, and they lick people concretely and slightly'. Zheng Ling is friendly with the eldest prince and will not harm you, but those officials in Huating County are very difficult to say. ”

Xu Yuanzuo scratched his head slightly: "That's what I said, did Mr. teach me?" ”

Zhong Jia lowered his head and took two steps, raised his head and said: "I can help you find someone for this matter, and with him to help, most of the things in the county government will be smooth." ”

Xu Yuanzuo perked up: "Mr. is affected. I don't know who it is? What kind of etiquette should I prepare? ”

"This person's surname is Li Mingmingming, the word Huamei, and he is the county lord. Although he is also an outsider, he is very skilled, and the county government is full of praise. If you have something to look for him, he will naturally know which ones are handed over to the county lord and which ones are handed over to the officials below. Mr. Zhong Jia said slowly: "As for the number of courtesies, you have to discuss it with him in detail yourself, depending on the difficulty of the matter." ”

"Thank you, Mr. Zhongjia, for your advice!" Xu Yuanzuo hurriedly bowed down and thanked him.

"It doesn't matter." Mr. Zhong Jia felt a great sense of accomplishment that he had solved Xu Yuanzuo's problem with just a few words. He opened the folding fan, fluttered in the cold wind, and immediately hid it on his chest, and said, "I have come here today to exchange knowledge with you." ”

Xu Yuanzuo was almost taken aback: "How can the kid be so good, how dare he exchange knowledge with Mr." ”

"Teaching and learning are mutually beneficial." Zhong Jia was also quite satisfied with Xu Yuanzuo's reaction, saying that it was "teaching and learning from each other", so he naturally started with the identity of "teaching": "What books have you been reading recently?" ”
