The so-called strong dragon does not suppress the head snake.

Even the most powerful people are prone to hesitate when faced with certain dilemmas.

Before the prince entered Zhangzhou, he had already studied this place.

Naturally, there is no phenomenon of openly working against the imperial court.

However, the obviously well-to-do lives of some officials, although they have been covered up, have finally revealed clues.

For Li Wan, the issue of corruption has never been too much to worry about.

When the water is clear, there are no fish, and when people are observed, there are no fugitives.

As long as they grasp the degree of it, Li Wan can open one eye and close one eye.

The corruption in Zhangzhou is only on the surface, and the deeper things are what he has to solve.

"My lord, the prince is ......."

In the most luxurious Mingyue Restaurant in Zhangzhou City, there is a rather sumptuous banquet in the wing room on the highest floor.

In front of the delicious food and wine, the seven or eight men and women sitting around the table dressed in ayara and wearing high crowns were not on their minds. z.br>

They all looked at the deputy envoy sitting in the first seat with his eyes closed and pretending to sleep, and he had a big belly.

In the Daliang official system, in the state and county, there are six Cao joining the army, Si Nong, etc., who are in charge of the finances of a place, but if it involves the allocation of money and grain between states and counties, there will be a transfer envoy and a political envoy who are responsible.

For the money, grain and commodities that need to be transferred, the transshipment envoy department is only responsible for inventory and audit, regardless of the use, and the political envoy department is only responsible for use, regardless of other things.

The two are directly under the direct jurisdiction of the Ministry of Households, and neither of them can interfere.

The middle-aged man sitting in the first place now is Yu Fang, the deputy envoy of the transshipment envoy in charge of the dispatch of money and grain commodities in Zhangzhou and other states.

Hearing these people speak, Yu Fang slowly opened his eyes and said lightly:

"Afraid of what? The prince will naturally leave after a few days. Zhangzhou has been like this for thousands of years, can it change suddenly? If the prince recognizes the truth, he will naturally know how to be good. You just need to be more restrained and don't go to the eyes of the prince."

"Yes, yes, Zhangzhou City still has to rely on all of you in order to have long-term peace and stability."

Those who are qualified to sit here are all giant crocodiles who control the Zhangzhou side.

Their business is everywhere, and as long as they live in Zhangzhou, they cannot escape their industry.

However, since ancient times, Shinong industry and commerce have been ranked in this way. Even if they are rich, they do not dare to work against the bureaucracy.

They chose another path and provided for one side.

Naturally, it was impossible to feed the common people, but the local officials, especially the transit envoys, who could control the affairs of business travel.

"Adults work hard for Zhangzhou, and they also need to pay attention to their bodies. In recent days, some Jianghuai women have come to Chunfang Building, and they are graceful. I'm ready for the adults, just waiting for the adults to come."

Among the few people present, there was a woman who used rouge gouache a lot.

She is the person in charge of the major green buildings in Zhangzhou, among which Chunfang Building is an industry under her hands.

The business of selling meat has always been lucrative.

Most of the girls who pick up customers can buy them for a few dollars.

Spend a few days filing off arrogance, extinguishing worthless self-esteem, and teaching some bed kung fu, and you can open the door to welcome guests.

Except for a few amazing people, most of the girls will not be treated very well.

Compared to the Jiaofang Division, there are official prostitutes who are slaves, but there are always countless people who are bitter and poor.

One tael of silver is not enough, but what about two taels? What about three taels? When you can't survive, don't say that you sell your daughter, even if you marry your wife, you can abandon it.

If this kind of business can dominate a land, it will also have an incalculable amount of silver.

"Hmm."

The old bustard's flattery, Yu Fang accepted it unceremoniously.

However, he didn't plan to go to Chunfang Tower, and asked the old bustard to send those people to his mansion.

Although he didn't think the prince could do anything, he didn't plan to do it at such a time

The carving is too much.

"Yes, all at your command."

The old bustard knew that these people would probably be sent out.

Whether they can survive or not, and how long they can live, is left to the will of God. Anyway, all the women that the old bustard sent to his mansion never came out again.

It is naturally impossible for hundreds of people to be kept in it, most of them have died and buried their bodies in the wilderness.

However, the old bustard didn't care.

It's not her who died, and it's nothing to die two lowly women who can't waste a few dollars.

She picked up a glass of wine at this moment, scratched her head and toasted to Yu Fang.

"I recently got some jade ornaments, and I sent them to the adult's mansion together."

"Millennial Wild Ginseng ...... Tohoku"

Naturally, the others had to follow at this time.

Only by currying favor with this deputy envoy can they continue to control Zhangzhou's industrial and commercial exchanges for a long time.

In fact, most of them are scholars, merchants, workers and peasants.

At this moment, in another box around them, the sound of dishes breaking was heard.

"Huh? What's going on?"

Yu Fang was a little dissatisfied.

The owner of Mingyue Tower immediately stood up from one side and hurriedly apologized to Yu Fang.

"Chase them away at once."

"That's it. Don't let people think I'm oppressing the people. That's all for today, and I'll talk about that later."

The owner of Mingyue Tower was sincerely afraid, but he didn't dare to stop Yu Fang's departure.

When several other people heard this, they also stood up and hugged Yu Fang.

At this time, there were two diners who were already in the mood for the strange noise, thinking about whether to intervene in the matter.

"Lost to Chen Liu? He might be willing to take care of it."

"Yes, yes."

When he rescued Jiang Yuan, who he didn't know, from Zuimenglou, he might also like to take care of this gossip.

In Qingxiao's courtyard, Chen Liu was still lying on the bed at this time.

His treatment at this time was quite good, and his hands were weak, so he could only ask Momei to write the questions in the end.

"My lord, that's pretty beautiful."

Compared with her often irritable temper, Mo Mei's words really have the feeling of a small jasper.

"It's your business. Are you done?"

"Hmm. I'm done."

Mo Mei then dried the ink and sealed the paper with Chen Liu's answer in the envelope.

"Is this going to be?"

"This is the exam question set by the marshal, and it will be up to him to decide how to judge it."

This did not exceed Chen Liu's expectations.

More precisely, none of this exceeded Feng Shuai's expectations.

When he wrote the excerpt to the prince yesterday, he thought about it for a long time and came up with some methods for supervising Zhangzhou.

One of the most important was the business trip, and he realized something was wrong when he accompanied Mo Li to go shopping.

He also proposed a solution to this, which was the exam question directly given by the marshal: commercial tax.

"My lord, I haven't eaten yet......

Mo Mei only gave Chen Liu a roll of the eyes, and left Chen Liu's room with the letter.

"Well, I want to go home."

Mo Mei, who has a knife mouth and a tofu heart, finally asked someone to send Chen Liu some porridge and rice.

It's lighter, but it's just right for healing.

Chen Liu naturally doesn't want someone to feed him inch by inch, and some of them are considered good.

It's just a bit of a spoon......

"Huh? What happened to our talented people?"

Chen Liu reluctantly took a few sips, and Youlan and Bai Jiu directly pushed the door in.

Bai Jiu also carried a wooden box in his hand, which contained some food bought from Mingyue Tower.

「……」

Chen Liu was reluctant to speak, and his room had become a public place.

However, after smelling the fragrance, he went straight to it

Face.

"Come on, what...... It's good to bring a little more courtesy."

Youlan, who had a plain skirt and black gauze, sat unceremoniously on Chen Liu's bed, and put her slender hand on Chen Liu's body.

"It's quite exquisite."

The trauma on Chen Liu's body is indeed real.

However, the injuries on his body were not indiscriminate, and they were very orderly.

Wounding muscles and bones but also forging muscles and bones at the same time, after the injury is healed, it is helpful for cultivation.

"It's pitiful, there's only one mouth left to move. Do you want my sister to feed you?"

Youlan took Chen Liu's weak hand, shook it, put it down casually, and asked with a smile.

"Okay."

The benefits of door-to-door delivery, don't be in vain.

So, Bai Jiu took over the task and fed Chen Liu, the sick number.

Youlan just knocked Chen Liu's head casually.

"Tong Cheng's master is really right, the women under the mountain are all tigers, and they can't be provoked."

Chen Liu's words made Youlan sneer and replied:

"You're not messing with you? This is still the son-in-law of Qin Tianjian?"

"It's not impossible, please ask Lord Supervisor, how much gift can Qin Tianjian give?"

"You still want me to post it upside down."

They gaged for a while until Bai Jiu interrupted them.

Bai Jiu believed in Chen Liu's strength, if he continued, it would definitely be the senior sister who would be pushed down, but he didn't want to have another brother-in-law at the moment......

He informed Chen Liu of the conversation he and Youlan had overheard in the Mingyue Tower.

"Deputy Transit Envoy...... Do you want to get him?"

The two of them came over, so naturally it was impossible to talk to him about this matter casually.

The officialdom has nothing to do with Qin Tianjian.

However, as individuals, they can have emotions and their own preferences.

Chen Liu then asked them directly and clearly.

"Trouble?"

If Youlan doesn't usually encounter it, she doesn't have the interest to care about this, but when she encounters it, she doesn't want to let it go.

However, she was reluctant to use violence to solve the problem.

It's not hard to kill the Transit Vice-Envoy, but killing him won't have any effect and will cause bigger problems.

Although Qin Tianjian was not subject to the control of the court, he could not arbitrarily persecute the officials of the court.

Although the deputy envoy of the transfer is not a central official, he is also directly under the jurisdiction of the household department, and he is a member of the party.

"What's the trouble with this, a little deputy envoy for transport, it's nothing."

In fact, if you think about it, his official status is just a second-class catcher in Jingzhao Mansion who is not in the stream, and fighting with a fourth-grade local official is undoubtedly a grasshopper shaking the tree.

However, his advice can be heard by heaven.

The crown prince is higher than any rank.

Judging from the news obtained by Bai Jiu and Youlan, this deputy envoy can really be used as a breakthrough for the prince to supervise the first knife in Zhangzhou.

After hearing this, Youlan snatched the soup spoon from Bai Jiu's hand and fed Chen Liu food.

"Can I ask you for a favor? Oh no, two."

"Say!"

Chen Liu agreed so happily that he also let Youlan directly wave his hand, and he was about to agree, but then he froze slightly.

"You're not really going to ask me to recommend a pillow seat, are you?"

「…… Please, Sister Youlan, I'm not so."

"What do you mean by that?"

Youlan's face became not good-looking.

Chen Liu immediately turned to him left and right, and turned the topic to his request.

The first thing is not complicated, it is just to deliver one thing.

It's just this second thing......
