Gao Shilian, the head of the household, and Xiao Rui are old acquaintances, and after many years of communication, it is much easier to chat between the two.

"Master Hou, the bereavement of the two families of Butcher Zhang and Shopkeeper Hu was personally ordered and supervised by Uncle Guo, why did you go there yourself?"

Xiao Rui smiled and waved his hand and said: "Gao Shangshu, Xiao Rui is not here for the matter of compensity, and now that Zhang Xiaojing and Shopkeeper Hu are with me, I will not be hungry in the future, and I don't need any compensation." ”

Gao Shilian emphasized: "Master Hou, this is different. If something so big happened, the imperial court was responsible. One yard is one yard, you take care of them, it is your Hou Ye who is kind. However, the court's pension shows the court's responsibility to the people. ”

Xiao Rui nodded: "Okay, when the time comes, you can just let someone send it to Xiaojiazhuang." ”

"Are you here, then? Could it be ...... Pay off the 100,000 arrears? Ahem...... Your Majesty has instructed, Hou Ye is his own person, and he is not in a hurry to return it. Gao Shilian persuaded him.

Xiao Rui laughed and said, "I'm not here to repay the money." This time, I came here to ask about the bad people's monthly salary. ”

Gao Shilian was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't react, "Master Hou, I heard you right, right?" Are you asking the bad guys? Is it the bad guy in Chang'an who is responsible for patrolling the streets? ”

Xiao Rui nodded.

Gao Shilian asked puzzledly: "Master Hou, why do you care about this group of people?" ”

"Hehe, this kind of tragedy may be very common in the eyes of the imperial court, after all, it is not a day or two for the family to oppress the people. But it seems to me that it is this kind of thing that everyone thinks is ordinary that is the most unusual. This is a chronic disease that needs to be changed. The imperial court opened the imperial examination in order to break the family's control over the government, and His Majesty wanted to collect the family for his own use. ”

"But none of you really care about the lives of the people in the world."

Hiss......

Gao Shilian's face turned red, although it was a fact, but it was quite a slap in the face when the champion Hou said it in person.

"The lesson of Hou Ye is that in terms of loving the people, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are not as good as you Hou Ye, you are sincere to the people, and no one in the government and the opposition is disobedient and disrespectful."

Xiao Rui said with a smile: "Gao Shangshu, in terms of seniority, Xiao Rui is a junior, where do you dare to teach you?" And there are many stubborn diseases in the world, and it is not your responsibility. In public and private, Xiao Rui has no intention of teaching a lesson. ”

"I'm just feeling the injustice of this world for a while."

"Over the years, Xiao Rui has been running around, resisting strong enemies outside and eliminating traitors inside, isn't it just a fairness in the world?"

"Your Majesty and the court treat me Xiao Rui very well, and my Xiao Rui is also rumored to be a sage by the people, if you don't do something, how can I be safe?"

"But you all know that I'm a very lazy person, and I'm not good at governing the country, so let's help Your Majesty and the court earn some people's hearts."

Gao Shilian laughed and said, "Master Hou, you are slapping us in the face." The hearts of the people in the world are the most rare, our group of people have been extremely poor all their lives, saying that they are the pillars of the country, the talents of governing the country, and the good thing is to shepherd and guard the Quartet, but to put it bluntly, isn't it just to strengthen the hearts of the people? ”

"In all dynasties, if the people don't scold the court, it is a prosperous age, and no one dares to say that it has truly achieved what the people want."

"You can earn some people's hearts with a simple word, which we can't do in a lifetime."

The two were no longer polite, and sat down in the living room, chatting about business while drinking tea. Hearing Xiao Rui's thoughts, Gao Shilian was embarrassed.

"Master Hou, the supreme commander of the bad guy is called the bad marshal, and his position is just an eight-rank captain, and he only enjoys the seventh-grade treatment. Most of the other bad people are of no grade, and they can't compare with the fast catch in Chang'an County. In terms of treatment, one or two pieces of silver a month, in fact, in Chang'an City, compared with all walks of life, it is not low. ”

Xiao Rui waved his hand and said: "That's different, bad people are not only responsible for patrolling the streets, but also arresting murderers and thieves, doing desperate work, but only getting a living salary, don't you think it's a little unfair?" At least it should be mentioned that it is a level faster than Chang'an County. ”

Gao Shilian smiled bitterly: "Master Hou, there is a reason for this. The establishment of bad people is His Majesty's will: bad people and bad people should choose from prison those who are less responsible, let them abandon evil and follow good, and give them a chance to do things and make up for their mistakes. At the same time, you can also recruit idle people on the street, such as gangsters with bad reputations. ”

"For these people, I didn't plan to let them do much, send some money, have a job to do, and it is a great achievement not to cause chaos in Chang'an City. In fact, it is also in disguise to maintain law and order in the city. ”

Fang Er next to him scratched his head and said, "Oh...... Can it be like this? I thought yes, the villain had to be subdued. Your Majesty, this method is really clever. ”

Xiao Rui laughed and said, "Of course you are smart, Your Majesty originally meant waste utilization. But I didn't expect that the casual actions of the past can be turned into treasure today, and the bad people have been able to assist the Wuhou patrolling the streets and truly participate in maintaining law and order on the streets. ”

"And because of the expansion of the number of recruits, many retired veterans and disabled veterans have gradually joined the bad guys, so this team is no longer just a useless soldier with a criminal record."

"If you use the original differentiated treatment, it will make the people who do things chill."

Gao Shangshu nodded and said, "What Lord Hou said is true, but ......"

"What? No money? If not, I'll pay back the 300,000. ”

"Ahem...... No, no, it's just a fifty percent more salary for a thousand people, and it's only a few thousand taels of silver a year, not a matter of money. Although the Ministry of Household Affairs is responsible for allocating funds to them, it is not up to us to decide on the adjustment of officials' salaries, so we ......"

Xiao Rui suddenly realized, "I understand, so I ran to the wrong yamen." ”

Patting his forehead, Xiao Rui said embarrassedly: "Hey, how good it would be for me to enter the palace directly." ”

Gao Shilian enthusiastically sent people out of the household, looked at the carriage with a simple appearance but a unique shape, and said with emotion: "The Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, and only the champion Hou dares to realize his ambitions." It's just that he is still indifferent to fame and fortune, Datang has this person, the blessing of the people! ”

Turning his head and going to the palace, he told him about his proposal, and the emperor readily agreed. These things originally belonged to the scope of the supervision of the imperial history, but no one noticed it.

"Why don't you go back to the Imperial Observatory." The Emperor said with a smile.

In the study, the imperial historian Wei Zheng hurriedly echoed: "The old minister seconded the proposal, if the champion Hou comes to the imperial history platform, the old minister can rest today." ”

Li Er laughed and said, "Xuancheng, you are much more diligent than this kid, let you say goodbye?" I'm not deaf yet. ”

Xiao Rui glanced at him, and said in his heart that the two fathers-in-law add up to 800 hearts, and they are not fun.

"Don't do it! Now there is nothing to be killed, and the Yushitai is fairer, which is enough. If I serve as the imperial historian, I am afraid that I will be so frightened that those souls dare not show their heads, and if they do not show their heads, how can we punish the evil and eliminate the evil? ”

Burst......

Everyone couldn't help laughing, it turned out that the champion Hou understood the punishment of rape and evil, is this way?
