The Qingqing Internal Treasury Transit Division is the most famous independent kingdom within the borders, although the officials are all sent from Kyoto, but because they are far away in the south of the Yangtze River, and there are too many temptations within themselves, no matter what level of officials from outside, in the end, they will be assimilated by this huge and attractive golden nest, and the officials of the Supervision Yuan may be better, but the officials within the Transit Division have long become one of the pillars of this independent kingdom, and no one wants the Inner Treasury to change a little.

Even if His Majesty has made a decree to transfer the inner library from the hands of the eldest princess of Xinyang to the arms of Fan Tisi, although these inner library officials have been the eldest princess's cronies for more than ten years, they are not very afraid of Fan Xian's arrival. They thought to themselves that as long as the superficial kung fu was done, presumably Lord Xiao Fan would not have touched the root of the inner library, and this kind of trick should not be staged once a son of heaven and a courtier.

What is the root of the inner treasury? It is not the mountains of gold and silver, not the workers who work as coolies, not the merchants on the periphery, but the senior craftsmen and treasurers of the three major squares.

The three major workshops in the inner library are distributed among the states in the south of the Yangtze River, and the first workshop is responsible for the production of glass products, handicrafts with extremely high precision requirements, porcelain goods, extremely expensive perfumes, steamed and steamed famous spirits, and many other ...... And like glass products, it can be extended into countless goods, in short, it can be named as a luxury manufacturer.

Yifang is responsible for the mass production of cotton cloth and gauze, the study of rice seeds, the creation of good steel, and the production of major events...... The collection of the primary and secondary industries is mainly the production of means of subsistence.

Bingfang is the most heavily guarded workshop among the three major workshops, and it is responsible for the production of ships and advanced ordnance needed by the military. For example, the black cavalry is currently equipped with a light repeater, which is provided by this workshop, and farther away, the research departments of the three departments of the Supervision Yuan and the inner library are still developing gunpowder, but since the beginning of the Ye family's workshop, the development of gunpowder seems to have gone on a wrong path, so that at present, the Supervision Yuan can only use a cart of gunpowder as a gunner. And no thermal weapons were invented. I don't know if it's because of the lack of intelligence and talent of the people of Qingguo, or if the woman surnamed Yedi has done something bad.

The three major fangs are just a rough statement, and there are countless related productions, which are densely spread in the land of northern Fujian, producing goods continuously, and then picking up the goods through private merchants, distributing them to the Northern Qi, Dongyi, small vassal states, and barbarian kingdoms beyond the ocean, greedily and turbulently grabbing the money and grain of the whole world, and at the same time will have a better quality of life. More luxuries spread throughout the world.

After the Ye family was included in the inner treasury, although the various industries were greatly impacted, but the legacy was especially there, and the treasurers at all levels really showed a lot of wisdom to carry forward the Ye family's industry, this curve reached a peak seventeen years ago, and forty percent of the financial revenue of the entire Qingguo came from the inner treasury, only in recent years, this figure has only slightly returned. However, it is still the largest source of finance for Qingguo, and to paraphrase a common word in a certain life, the inner library is the engine of desire that pushes Qingguo forward.

It is precisely because of the treasurer, who is not an official who does not enter the stream, that he plays a very important role in the production of the inner treasury. In addition, the eldest princess herself is a woman who walks the world with conspiracy, and she is not good at or disdainful of using a big knife to manage, so over the years, various situations have overlapped, making the treasurer the most special group of bureaucrats in Qingguo.

The workers at the bottom of the inner treasury did not earn much money, and even the officials in charge of management were not very arrogant, except for the treasurers, who were not rich in money. They also enjoy various allowances and various bonuses. This cannot but be said to be the consequence of the eldest princess's high salary to raise wolves, and it is also related to the chaotic management of the imperial court over the years.

The treasurers are really a bit like the Earth Emperor, although they are not very arrogant on the surface. But secretly eat buckles and take silver, and exploit workers. The money obtained was sprinkled into the four fields through the peripheral money villages, and a lot of land has been acquired in the surrounding states, and it is not known how many shady means have been used in it. In addition, these treasurers have not done less to bully lower-class workers and bully men and women in the inner treasury.

The more senior treasurers also pay attention to their faces, and those middle-level treasurers in their thirties are naked and shameless, and a treasurer found by Fan Xian at night actually has twelve concubines at home! And how did those concubines who were only twenty years old come about...... Who can say clearly? I only know that there are workers making trouble every year, and as for the place of complaint, there are countless places, but the inner library is special, and often the bitter owners of these complaints cannot get out of the inner library at all, and even if they are lucky enough to get to the city of Suzhou, they are always fooled down by the imperial court.

Offending good people is small, offending the treasurer is big, this is the consensus of Jiangnan Road officials.

So when the new envoy of the Inner Treasury Transit Department, the Qincha Lord Fan Xian, arrived at the Yamen in northern Fujian, those lower-level workers and ordinary people who had a bitter hatred for the treasurers no longer went to beat the drum and voice their grievances, but looked at the gate at the yamen indifferently, and there was a yin fire flashing in their eyes.

......

......

As soon as the fire flashed, the sound of firecrackers was loud, and the red dust flew all over the sky, the main gate of the Yamen of the Inner Treasury Transfer Division in Northern Fujian slowly opened, and dozens of officials dressed in formal clothes, in the smell of faint scent, lined up in two rows, and saluted respectfully to the young official in the middle.

Out of the holy decree, please Ming Jian, show the identity of the Ming Qincha, and clarify the regulations of the manager, Fan Xian looked at these subordinates in the hall, put his hands together, and said, "Sit down." ”

"Thank you, Lord for your seat. The officials of the inner library sorted out their clothes and sat down, and there were not enough seats in the ya, so some lower-level officials stood at the back, and everyone looked at the gentle smile on the face of Lord Xiao Fan, and their hearts were slightly settled, and they didn't see the wolf-like Kyoto officials of the Supervision Yuan, and their brains, which were originally slightly vigilant, suddenly relaxed.

Fan Xian squinted his eyes and looked down, and it was easy to find the object of his opening and shaking the tiger among the officials.

Under about five or six people, there were three dark-faced, dressed in regular clothes, and the belts around their waists were tightly fastened, sitting there very respectfully, but these three people obviously did not have official positions, but they sat among the officials, and they looked at each other. It's a character who frequents the workshop.

Fan Xian was especially sharp-eyed, and from the other party's seemingly respectful appearance, he saw a trace of indifference and contempt for himself. It was a very confident demeanor - he smiled slightly, Shen Du was as ruthless as him, of course he would not be angered by the other party's demeanor, but since the other party had been raised by the eldest princess for so many years, he had to completely control Neiku. You have to knock on them as a last resort.

First put the three people aside, talked to the officials about the meaning of the imperial court, and chatted with the military representative sitting on his right, this military official is a distant relative of the Ye family.

Although the Ye family seems to have been forced to the side of the second prince by His Majesty now, because of the existence of Ye Ling'er, a wonderful character, the relationship between Fan Xian and the Ye family is quite good, so the general of the Ye family also has special respect for Fan Xian, presumably because the Jingzhong family has had some orders.

When it was almost time to talk about business, Fan Xian suddenly calmed down. Lifted the tea bowl and took a sip.

Qingguo did not have the rules of serving tea to guests, and the officials knew that Lord Fan must have something important to say, so they all quieted down, and everyone already knew that on the edge of the river, in the bamboo shed of Suzhou Wharf, Lord Xiao Fan's inaugural speech had already shocked the officials of the entire Jiangnan Road, and they couldn't help but be a little curious about his speech today.

"Neku, what an amazing place. ”

Fan said with a smile.

The officials laughed, and the deputy envoy quipped, "The land of the wilderness." Some are just knocking and beating, although it is disturbing, but it is different. ”

Fan Xian also laughed: "The reason why this official thinks it is wonderful is because ...... This time, he was ordered to go south. Whenever the official opens the government to reveal his identity, there will always be a local sufferer beating the drum and complaining about the many illegal things of the local officials...... Unexpectedly, it has been half a day since the opening of the government today, and in such a big place, there is not even a single person who has written a book. ”

The officials were stunned for a moment, and said that you sneaked all the way south, and there was a fart who complained about it! But Fan Xian said so. There must be something afterthought, and I can't help but raise my heart.

Of course, Fan Xian's words were nonsense, just an introduction: "The official is very relieved that the inner treasury is actually clear and clear under the governance of your colleagues. It's rare that there is no lawlessness. ”

The officials' faces were hot. Even said that he didn't dare to dare.

Fan Xian didn't have a black face, but said with a smile: "But there is another question, I don't know if there is really no problem with Neiku, or ...... Some officials are so powerful that even if the common people and workers complain, they do not dare to come and listen to their own officials."

This is too unelaborate, it is a naked preparation to concede people to commit crimes, all the officials, regardless of faction, are local officials of the Inner Treasury, and when their hearts are cold, they have a little disgust, thinking that even if you want to burn three fires, you can't use such a ridiculous method? Headed by the deputy envoy, all the officials came out one after another and said loudly: "My lord, there is no such thing, there is no such thing. ”

Fan Xian lowered his head, gently rubbed his fingers on Si Sixin's sewn cuffs, and asked, "What's the matter?" I heard that over the years, the three major squares owe a lot of wages to the workers below, and there was a big incident a year ago, but is there such a thing?"

The officials were stunned for a moment, because the treasurer was too hard to exploit the treasurer a few years ago, the workers of the three major workshops did make a fuss, and two people died, and this matter has been concealed by the officials of the transfer department, but they did not expect that the news actually reached Kyoto! But since Lord Fan has already said it, it must have obtained the definite news, and it is difficult to hide it.

The deputy envoy hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "The return of funds was a little slower a year ago, and the wages were only three days late, but those Diao people took the opportunity to make trouble, and actually stopped the work of the three major workshops for a day, which brought irreparable losses to the imperial court, so after the transfer department discussed, he asked Ye Shen to suppress the bullet, but fortunately, there were not too many lives, thinking that it was close to the year, and the adults would arrive immediately, so they did not rush to report." ”

In fact, where is the late payment of wages, to be precise, the treasurers pumped too much water from the wages they were paid, and under the accumulated anger, the people's anger gradually rose, and the workers made trouble. And the officials of the Transit Department didn't want to offend the treasurer, and they didn't want to take out the money in the public to make up the account, so they pretended to be deaf and dumb, and only mobilized troops to suppress it until the matter was serious.

Fan Xian turned around and said a few words to the Ye staff general, who looked embarrassed and responded softly, thinking that the role he played in this matter was not honorable.

Fan Xian frowned, lightly knocked on the desk next to him, and said: "My lords, to put it bluntly, this Neiku is a business, but it is a business name of His Majesty, my Daqing Dynasty's business name." Since it is a place to make things, the most important thing is to make things people...... After dragging the wages of the workers year after year, who is willing to do things for you? Even if you do things, how can you be willing to work hard? In the end, it is not the imperial court that suffers?"

The officials even claimed that they were, and they all said that in the future, they would act in strict accordance with the regulations of the Inner Treasury and that there would never be any more arrears of wages. It was the treasurers dealing with Lord Xiao Fan, and these officials just wanted to fool the scene in front of them as quickly as possible.

It's just that the three dark-faced figures sitting in the chairs without official uniforms have a somewhat difficult look on their faces.

"Talk nonsense. Fan Xian shook his head and sighed: "Naturally, you can't be in arrears in the future, but what about what you owed before?"

The main hall of the yamen suddenly fell into a deathly silence.

Under the fear of the officials, they didn't dare to say more, the number of workers in the inner treasury was tens of thousands, plus a series of logistics such as food, food, housing, drinking water and clothing, the number of people reached a terrifying level, and the imperial court gave the workers of the three major squares a very generous salary. Pumping water from it has become one of the biggest sources of wealth for officials in the inner treasury. If Fan Xian really wants these officials to spit back all the deductions of previous years, this is really a lot of money.

And these officials know in their hearts that they are hindered by the supervision of Qinglu and the Supervision Yuan, so they never dare to eat openly, but the treasurers have some small filial piety on the ground after eating leftovers, and Lord Fan is only afraid that those treasurers are targeted.

Therefore, the eyes of all the officials swept the three of them intentionally or unintentionally.

Fan Xian didn't seem to notice the turbulent dark waves in the field, and said in a harmonious voice: "The court can't owe the people, and the arrears of previous years must be gradually made up." It's just that things are a bit complicated, and it is categorically not rushed. ”

Can't rush ...... The hearts of the officials were relieved again, but they were frightened by the next words!

"Three days. Fan Xian smiled and stretched out three fingers, looked at the officials and said, "Give you three days." Fill in all the accounts for me, and make up all the wages owed to the workers below, remember...... The profit of Taiping Money shall prevail. ”

"Three days later, if there are still workers who come to the official and say that he has not received the wages for the land. Fan Xian said: "Or let the subordinates of the official supervision institute find out...... I'm sorry everyone, but this official is going to show a little ruthlessness. ”

He smiled, but the officials could already feel a chilling smell begin to spread all around.

......

......

The three brothers, who had been sitting still, finally couldn't sit still, stood up with a humble face, and said, "Your Excellency. The lower official has something to report. ”

"Let's talk about it. Fan Xianxu glanced at him with interest.

"There may be arrears of wages,

But the amount is not large, and it is often not done well. The man laughed and said: Come to Kyoto, maybe you don't know that these places are very bad, and those people come to work with their families. Obviously, he is working in the workshop alone, but he has to report three people. It's not that we're in arrears, it's that they want to cheat the court out of the money. ”

"Oh?" Fan Xian snorted, "And such tricks?"

"yes. The man obviously didn't see the sarcasm in Fan Xian's words, and said with great joy: "My lord, those workers are cunning and cunning, relying on the court to feel sorry for the people, so they dare to open their mouths, but if some requirements cannot be met, they will be passive and slack off, and even some worse guys dare to do tricks and feet in the process, and I don't know how much silver the court has lost over the years." ”

This person poured dirty water on the workers' bodies with all his might, not thinking about how well Fan Tisi would clear his name, but after all, he was an official, so how could he sit on the side of the workers? The so-called ass decides the head, and you don't have to worry about standing in line.

Fan Xian sneered in his heart, what he said was ...... He blamed all his common mistakes on the workers, but his face was uneven, and he sighed: "Ah, I can't imagine that Your Majesty is so benevolent, and these people are still so dissatisfied." ”

The man smiled and said: "That's true, the arrears of wages, after the officials go back, they must be carefully investigated, but those troublesome workers can't be spared, adults must not be deceived by the words of these traitors, those people are treacherous and ruthless, and they are really not a thing." ”

Fan Xian looked at this person, and suddenly frowned: "May I ask who the lord is?"

The deputy envoy hurriedly introduced on the side: "This is the chief official of Jiafang, Lord Xiao." ”

"Lord Xiao?" Fan Xian seemed a little surprised, "The head of the treasurer?"

The owner of the three major workshops surnamed Xiao hurriedly saluted: "It's Xia Guan." ”

Fan Xian stared at him for a long time, and suddenly said, "You are a mere principal." It's just a little treasurer, the court gave you a grade that is not in the stream, and you don't even have an official body, how dare you call yourself a ...... in front of this official Lower officials?"

Everyone was stunned.

His voice suddenly cooled down: "Mouth and mouth are official...... What kind of official are you? As soon as the office was opened today, you were not waiting outside the office for questioning, but you dared to enter the court with a big grin, and you dared to sit among the officials of the imperial court. Is...... What kind of bastard daring thing are you?"

......

......

Well?

The hall was quiet for a long time, and it was not until a long time later that the officials heard Master Fan clearly...... Is it swearing?

Suddenly, the pot exploded with a bang, and this was repaid! Since the inner library was classified as the royal family, this is the first time that someone has pointed to the faces of the three major fang owners and scolded her mother! Even after the eldest princess took over the inner library, she came to the northern Fujian Yamen for the first time, and she was also very gentle to the three heads of the three major fangs, why did this Lord Fan dare to scold her with her head?

The head of the first place, Lord Xiao, was also stunned on the spot, he didn't expect that Lord Fan would not be able to encircle him. He snorted, his face suddenly became ugly, but he didn't dare to say anything to the dignified "prince", and as soon as he gave up his hand, he wanted to return to his seat and become a bodhisattva.

"Removed his seat. Fan Xian's eyes narrowed, his eyebrows wrinkled into a very good-looking circle, and he said in a harmonious voice: "In front of this official, there is no seat for him." ”

"Lord Fan!" the presiding officer was furious. Before his butt was next to his seat, he straightened up again, suppressed his inner anger, and said, "Don't deceive people too much." ”

Fan Xian didn't pay attention to this person at all. Drinking tea, he gossiped with General Ye and the deputy envoy beside him, who looked embarrassed.

As he spoke, the officials of the Supervision Yuan beside him had already gone down, pushed the Lord Xiao aside, and removed him from his seat. In this way, the matter is really big, and not only the officials below have come out to intercede. Even the Ye Shen General lowered his voice and said in Fan Xian's ear: "Young Master Fan, save them some face." ”

"Give them face?" Fan said with a smile, "I'm here to cut their faces today." ”

Ye Shen was stunned and did not dare to continue to speak.

Since the opening of the Yamen in the Inner Library, the heads of the three major squares have their own seats in the Yamen and have a special status. No one had ever insulted their existence so much, and at this time, they saw the master of Jiafang being humiliated. The other two masters of the big fang finally couldn't sit still, got up and stood beside the Lord Xiao, and said to Fan Xian in a cold voice: "Since the adults think that there is no seat for us in the ya, why don't we withdraw together...... Anyway, the three big squares are just some lowly people. ”

It's not angry, but it's taking the three major squares to suppress people.

Fan Xian raised his head, looked at the three principals standing in front of him, and said with a smile: "Of course you want to withdraw together, do you think you can still have your place?" Of course, not all of the three major squares are lowly people, but since you admit it, the official will also believe it." ”

"Your Excellency!"

The three major owners didn't expect Fan Xian to advance step by step, and he didn't leave a way out for himself between his words, so he knew that the other party not only wanted to build power, but also wanted to kill everything, but ...... What confidence do you have Fan Xian? Do you really want to watch the three major squares collapse?

The tone of the three major fang masters became fierce when they answered again: "My lord, I don't know what is offended by the three major fangs?"

"Exploiting wages, bullying men and women, threatening the court with skills, disrespecting the officials, of course ......" Fan Xian stared at the three of them and said: "It is not the officials you offend, but the workers in the three major squares, as well as the court and the people of the world who support you." ”

"If you want to add sin, there is no excuse. The three principals said angrily: "When the Lord first came to the transfer department, he acted so recklessly, is it true that I have no rules in the Daqing Dynasty?"

"Rules? ”

Fan Xian smiled and thought to himself, of course this sentence was not spoken, but he just thought that when Fan Lao Er was rampant in Kyoto, his favorite thing was this cruel sentence, it seems that being an official is the same as being a gangster, when the situation is unclear and chaotic, it is always feasible to use some brutal skills.

"Come on, these three people roared at the yatang, drag me down, and hit ten boards first. ”

Fan Xian gently rested the teacup in his hand on the table, ignored the pleading words of the officials in the hall, and laughed that he was just bitter and domineering, but he was a little impatient, where would he be willing to talk to these people.
