After Zhang Mao was beaten, many people came to inquire, Zhang Mao was originally just a skin injury, but now he is pretending to be about to die, which has aroused the sympathy of many people.

At this time, many people realized that the lawless Jinyi Wei of the Hongwu Dynasty had returned, and the short good times of the Jianwen Dynasty were gone.

On the third watch, a guest came to the inn where Zhang Mao was staying.

Although the guests are in casual clothes, they have a bit of solemnity in their gestures. The guest lifted the curtain and came in, Zhang Mao's only maid led him to the front of the couch, Zhang Mao saw him, immediately cheered up, and was about to get up and salute, but this person pressed his hand slightly, and said: "Ziyang, don't be polite, how is your body?" ”

"My lord......" Zhang Mao couldn't help but burst into tears: "You have to make the decision for me." ”

The visitor sighed and sighed: "The old man already knows what happened the day before yesterday, and you can't blame you for this, no one expected it." For now, you should take care of your injuries, and don't worry too much about other things. ”

Zhang Mao nodded sincerely, and couldn't help but say: "What kind of dental defense group, it is clearly in league with them, colluding and embarrassed." ”

The visitor smiled faintly and said: "The old man of the dental defense group has also ordered someone to investigate, and there is a relationship with Li Jinglong, but now this Cao Guogong is also a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and he does not dare to come forward." This breath, I just helped you out, at least, I have to give everyone an explanation, the dental defense team has already handed over a note, let Shuntianfu rectify it. ”

Zhang Mao listened to it, and then he felt relieved.

The visitor said: "But I still underestimated these brocade guards, I thought that they were northerners after all, and they would not be able to integrate into Nanjing without a few years of work, but now it seems that they still miscalculated, be careful in the future, okay, tomorrow the old man may have to enter the palace system, and he must hurry up early." ”

Zhang Mao said: "My lord seems to be busier than before recently. ”

The visitor smiled slightly, his face was dark under the candlelight: "It is said that it is a son of heaven and a courtier, this sentence is not right, there are some things, you don't understand it, you don't have to think about it, after the injury is healed, the old man will make arrangements." ”

Zhang Mao nodded heavily.

The visitor walked out of the inn, did not enter the darkness, in the far alley, there was already a sedan chair waiting for him, he sat in the sedan chair, and said lightly: "It's not early, go directly to the noon gate and wait, the old man just take a nap in the sedan chair." ”

The reward of the Beizhen Mansion Division soon arrived, this is the first commendation after the reconstruction of Jinyiwei, who knows that it fell on the Donghua Gate Hundred Households, although the reason for the award is unknown, but as the first award, let the entire Hundred Households have honor at the same time, but also make many people coveted.

Hao Fenglou finally has a foothold in the hundred households, at least Zeng Jian no longer dares to be presumptuous in front of him, once he has prestige, subtly, many captains are no longer perfunctory to Hao Fenglou on the surface.

However, there is also a painting of the Son of Heaven, which makes Hao Fenglou wonder which streaking performance artist is improvised.

But it's also the Son of Heaven Mobao, naturally to collect it closely, the word is not valuable, but there is the emperor's seal on it, maybe there will be sons and grandchildren in the future, when the ancient times put them under their knees, take out the Mobao, and tell them that if they don't study well in the future, they will ......

The logic seems to be a little incomprehensible, this kind of semi-literate can be an emperor, and there seems to be no heavenly reason.

For a few days, the hundred households were idle, but early this morning, Hao Fenglou had not yet sat down in his duty room, and the scribe Zhou Fang hurriedly came over and said, "My lord, my lord......

In the past few days, Zhou Fang has been hiding in the study office on business, Hao Fenglou sometimes calls him, and he also comes over with bloodshot eyes, looking out of spirits.

Hao Fenglou didn't bother to care about him, anyway, as long as he arranged the dispatch, was responsible for ordering the mao, and transmitted some necessary official documents, Hao Fenglou would naturally let him go.

But today is different, today Zhou Fang's face was full of redness, as if the burden of a thousand catties was taken off his shoulders, and he hurriedly saluted Hao Fenglou and said, "My lord, the student is fortunate to not be dishonored, and he finally got the thing done." ”

"What is the matter?" Hao Fenglou was confused.

Zhou Fang said: "My lord, it is natural that the main situation of the nine streets under our jurisdiction has been completely figured out now. After that, Zhou Fang took out a book from his sleeve and presented it to Hao Fenglou, saying: "My lord, please see, there are seventy-four shops in nine streets and alleys, of which the total is divided into three classes, nine first-class shops, fifty-one second-class shops, and fourteen third-class shops. ”

Hao Fenglou was dumbfounded: "What kind of name is this, second, and third?" ”

Zhou Fang patiently explained: "When students were on business in Yingtianfu in the past, they also had to find out the details first, and now our hundred households are the same as Yingtianfu, to feed so many people, how can we rely on the court's money?" Since it is not enough, you have to let the merchants take care of some, this is common sense, Ying Tianfu and the Five Cities Terracotta Division are also like this, Jinyiwei and other offices, now they are also doing this, first find out the general details of this merchant, the first-class merchant is powerless, this kind of people we are determined to eat it, usually to the death of the natural to ask for it. As for the second class, there is a little bit of a relationship, but the relationship is not strong enough, let's let them give some of it, and try not to turn against them. As for this third class, it is the real relationship is relatively hard, and no one of these people will look at their faces, if you dare to ask for it, he can kick you away, so it is better for this kind of person to provoke less. ”

Hao Fenglou couldn't help but be dumbfounded, Jinyiwei had just been rebuilt, and all kinds of messy unspoken rules had come.

However, Hao Fenglou can actually understand that the salary of the Ming Dynasty is unbearable, don't look at the Jinyi Wei going out to pull the wind, that little bit of money is barely enough to eat, who doesn't want their life to be better, as a boss, on the one hand, you must be sympathetic to the difficulties of the people below, on the other hand, you can also scrape a layer of oil and water, why not?

An old official like Zhou Fang knows the situation in the Beijing division very well, although he has transferred Jinyiwei, he will still come to things, and he does not need Hao Fenglou's orders, he has already figured out the situation in his jurisdiction.

Hao Fenglou asked shamelessly: "How did Mr. Zhou find out?" ”

Zhou Fang smiled and said: "This is easy, on the one hand, it depends on it, let the brothers who patrol the streets brighten their eyes and observe carefully, for example, this inn, will there be people from the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division or Ying Tianfu to find trouble, if there are many people from Ying Tianfu, then it means that this inn must have no background." But if there are few people coming in and out, or even if there are no public people wandering around for three days, then this shop must be the property of an adult. Secondly, it is to listen, let people ask around, summarize a lot of inquired news, and then analyze them one by one, and then have a rough bottom in their hearts. ”

Hao Fenglou said: "Then these second-class shops, they have some relationship, but the relationship is not strong enough, if they go to take the money, they are unwilling to take it?" ”

Zhou Fang smiled: "Actually, this is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, the foot of the Son of Heaven is different from other places, no matter which yamen you are, what you pay attention to is harmony and wealth, even the same is true of most of the Jinyi Guards, especially the Jinyi Guards in our inner city, it is a last resort, and you can't easily quarrel." But it's not for nothing, they are the kind of people who have a bit of a relationship, but the relationship is estranged, and there is no need to move out of the backstage for ordinary things. Therefore, if we offer a reasonable price for hundreds of households, this price must be within a reasonable range, so that they will not suffer from pain. Even if they refuse to give, it's easy, find a few brothers, wear official clothes and carry knives every day to walk around the door of their shop, adults think about it, let's just patrol the streets according to the rules, there is nothing wrong with it. But there are people who are fierce and vicious, carrying knives and wandering around the door of a certain shop, ordinary people, who dares to go in and buy things? Within three days, they still had to pay the confinement money obediently. ”
