Chapter Seventy-Seven: Waiting for People
Waiting for people, during the Taizu period, he was in charge of the inspection and prohibition of the road, and when he encountered foreign envoys, he was responsible for welcoming and sending them off.
However, at the time of the first emperor, the status of the candidate was elevated by him, and he became independent from the official system in the city, and was in charge of building roads and bridges.
Although the official position is not high, because the things in charge are the affairs of the people's livelihood, it is important not to say, and it is not allowed to be careless.
The Ministry of Household Affairs also attaches great importance to this, and every year it will review the road construction matters in charge of each candidate, and those who do not meet the standards will be removed from official positions.
Road construction is a major event for the people's livelihood, related to the daily travel of the people, trade exchanges between the country and various towns, so every year, the money for road repair pulled out from the treasury has never been stingy, plus the county government and the gentry of the town donate money, this candidate can be said to be a fat poor, and the money in charge is no longer a few.
This position, if it is given by an insatiable person, it is really a gold mine for money.
However, the assessment of the household department is also written at one level and one level at a time, and the officials of these household departments who are far away from Yingtian City do not know what they are doing in the local area, how many miles of road they have built, how much silver they have spent, and how much silver they have been filled.
If it weren't for the people's complaint, no one would care about the corruption of such a small position.
Even Gu Changqing ignored this candidate.
Since coming to this Yong'an City, he has been busy all kinds of things, and when he met with some officials in this city, even some pavilion chiefs attended, but he ignored this waiter.
Now, these men came out to wait for people in such a battle, and if they wanted to come to this waiting person, there must be some handle that was tightly held by someone.
It is a very difficult thing for people to sue the officials. If it weren't for the fact that they couldn't live because they were oppressed and humiliated, they would just turn a blind eye to those people.
Just like the tax in Anqing at that time, even if it has been squeezed, no one has come out to sue.
If you don't tell it, it seems to have become a loophole in Daikin's law.
Time took steps, and in a blink of an eye, it slipped away from Qingming, and went freely with those flying petal rains.
Gu Changqing didn't have this good fate, Qingming left, but he stayed with the bones in that room, the token of Yan Kingdom, and those things that he guessed but were still shocking.
On that day, after separating from General Ban, he went directly back to the county office, threw the pile of melons aside, and called him to build it.
"You go and bring all the case files related to the Yan people in our county office, I want to read it, no time limit, as long as you want." Gu Changqing said with a serious face.
"My lord, what do you want that? It's been a long time to find something. Jiancheng muttered, this spring is coming, and everyone is a little lazy.
Gu Changqing's eyes passed through like a sharp sword, and before he could speak, Jiancheng said to himself decisively, "I know, I don't ask, just bring it." ”
Jiancheng, who took two steps back, glanced at Gu Changqing quietly, and still asked unrelentingly, "My lord, are you in a hurry?" Or I'll be behind...."
Gu Changqing raised his head, stared at Jiancheng, and replied loudly, "It's urgent." ”
Jiancheng pouted, turned around and walked out, in fact, I made an appointment with my friends today to go out for a walk, looking like this, I'm afraid it's going to be in the soup again. However, it is not easy to refuse what Gu Changqing explained, he knows that this adult can forget to sleep and eat for the sake of the case.
When the friend had already come here and waited for most of the hour, Gu Changqing had to get all the things out of the house, and there was a case file about the Yan people, a thick half-stack, and he felt heavy when he carried it, and he couldn't help but wonder why Gu Changqing wanted this thing in his heart.
After Jiancheng put the things on the table for Gu Changqing, he ran out quickly.
They made an appointment to get drunk tonight.
Looking at Jiancheng's figure running out quickly, Gu Changqing raised his head with a wry smile, stretched his waist and began to flip through those case files.
There are more than a dozen cases, but most of them are about some business dealings, but there are a few murder cases.
Gu Changqing first classified, and then looked at them one by one starting from the murder case.
The first case was a dispute over the conversion of a currency, and the currencies used by Daikin and Yan were not the same, so there were more or less contradictions in the trade between the two countries.
The merchants of Yan Kingdom must go to the money village to exchange for the silver coins of Yan Kingdom when they come to Dajin to buy and sell goods, which is a hard rule at the beginning, but after a long time, the merchants also want to be convenient, and directly use the coins converted into Yan Kingdom according to the price for trading, and after the transaction, the merchants on the side of Jin Country go to the money village to exchange currency for a unified currency.
This kind of thing is a convention, there is no explicit provision of the imperial court, and it is not within the scope of its protection, if you like it, you can do it, and if you don't like it, you can not do it, but over time, the people of Yan took this as a regulation, and it was originally a convenience for Daikin merchants who were afraid of their trouble, but in the end they regarded it as a necessity.
This case was because a merchant of Jin was unwilling to accept the coins of Yan State, and the merchant of Yan State was furious and beat him, and the merchants of both countries entered a scuffle, but the final result was that the merchant of Dajin was seriously injured and died.
Later, in order to curb such a thing, and also to let Yan Guo understand that not all things can be tolerated, the imperial court made a clear rule that in all the cities of Dajin, the currency of other countries is absolutely not allowed, and merchants from other countries must also use the silver of the Jin country to trade in the cities of the Jin country, and if there is a violation, they must be severely punished.
This matter, Gu Changqing also heard about it back then, and another case is relatively simple, a man in the caravan of Yan State insulted the women of the Jin Kingdom, and was beaten to death, and it was recorded in the later case that the men of the Yan Kingdom were finally sentenced to life imprisonment, and those Jin Guo men who beat him were commended.
Gu Changqing was a little sad in his heart, after all, the family and country are in front, some truths are no longer important, and the most important thing is to protect Dajin's national prestige and imperial prestige.
Unlike this kind of homicide case in which the two countries dispute, most of the rest are some economic disputes, such as which commercial bank has bad quality goods and asks for a refund, such as which commercial bank's final payment has been delayed again and again, such as which commercial bank has conducted private transactions and disrupted market order.
These things, although they are not a big problem, will be magnified in this kind of border town. What made Gu Changqing feel a little hesitant and frightened the most was the last case.
That is a family of ordinary people in the Golden Country, during the Duobao Festival, bought a few melons and fruits recommended by the merchants of the Yan Kingdom, it is said that those Yan Kingdom has been improved, especially sweet, at first people did not believe it, after all, buying summer fruits in winter is like the sun coming out outside, which makes people novel, but at the same time they will feel a little frightened at the same time.
These people are afraid of the unknown.
