Especially these people in Shaanxi, after coming to the capital, they were fascinated by the prosperity of the capital, and some of their minds have changed because of this.

“………………”

Just yesterday, Shangguan Yu'er set up a stall at the entrance of the street, selling small items she knitted...

Unexpectedly, there happened to be an old mother from a brothel, passing by with a big ass...

This old mother of the brothel, after she saw Shangguan Yu'er's appearance again, she thought of the special habits of those old guests, but she was moved...

The old mother in the brothel proposed to a middle-aged beggar who was guarding Shangguan Yu'er to buy Shangguan Yu'er for thirty taels of silver.

When the middle-aged beggar heard that he had the benefit of thirty taels of silver, he immediately forgot about his fellow villagers and Shangguan Yu'er's life-saving grace, and immediately agreed.

After forcing Shangguan Yu'er to sign a deed of sale, the middle-aged beggar escaped by himself after receiving the benefit of thirty taels of silver.

Shangguan Yu'er, who was only ten years old, was powerless to resist in the face of such a tragic fate...

She could only beg the old mother of the brothel to see her grandfather for the last time, explain things clearly, and save her grandfather from worrying.

The old mother, who has a deed of sale in her hand, thinks that this is not a big deal, just like a kind grandmother who loves her granddaughter, and agrees with a smile.

However, even Shangguan Yu'er herself didn't expect that she was taken by the two turtle fathers in the brothel, and after meeting her grandfather and them......

These fellow villagers in Shaanxi, thinking of Shangguan Yu'er's kindness along the way, as well as the horror of the ghost place of the brothel, their heads were hot, and they rushed up, so they snatched Shangguan Yu'er back.

After snatching back Shangguan Yu'er, these people led by Shangguan Yunsheng, who also knew that the people in the brothel would definitely not give up...

Therefore, they want to find a place with a lot of people, so that the people in the brothel will not dare to do it.

Then, there was this farce in front of the Changyuan Restaurant tonight.

…………

When the old beggar Shangguan Yun was released, He Shen secretly glanced at Shangguan Yu'er a few times, but saw that Shangguan Yu'er had always been very peaceful and obediently standing beside his grandfather...

It's as if the tragic experiences Shangguan Yunsheng said had nothing to do with her at all.

For some reason, He Shen always felt that this kind of peaceful, well-behaved, and a little pitiful.

What a tragic experience that could make this little girl, who was only ten years old and in the naughtiest age of children, become so old.

“…………”

Here, after listening to the words of the old beggar Shangguan Yunsheng, He Shen shook his head thoughtfully, and let out a faint sigh in his mouth.

In the eyes of the world, a merchant is a person who sells and buys anything of value.

A robber or thief is a person who kills, steals, and does business without a capital.

There must be a certain connection between them......

Actually, there is nothing wrong with this understanding.

Because in the extremely hidden and safe black market, merchants have a unique tacit understanding with robbers and thieves......

Under the watchful eye of a gang of thugs, robbers and thieves took out the looted and stolen goods, people, and sold their things to the merchants who walked by, like young men who had just entered the business......

Most of these items they don't have names or prices.

Merchants loved this kind of trade, not only cheaply, but if they were lucky, they could buy a rare treasure of unknown origin from unreadable robbers and thieves......

The most important thing is that it is safe, and the most ferocious bandit strongmen have to suppress their inner impulses, and do not dare to touch a finger of the merchant carrying gold and silver.

Merchants have already paid for this, they pay protection money in exchange for privileges from bandits.

……

And a good girl like Shangguan Yu'er is worth a thousand taels of silver in the black market......

……

It's no wonder that people in brothels are forced to work hard.

A person of thirty taels, as soon as he sells it, it is a thousand taels, such a profit, who will give up...

”………”

Standing in place, after thinking for a while, He Shen groped in his arms, took out a large amount of silver ticket, and threw it on the face of the scar-faced man Yu Peng....

He Shen looked at the scar-faced man Yu Peng coldly, and said, "You bought this little girl for thirty taels of silver..."

"Today, I will buy her with three hundred taels of silver, from now on, she will be the official's person, you take the silver and leave, by the way, leave the deed of sale."

“…………”

On Yu Peng's side, the scar-faced man, after hearing He Shen's words, couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and said stumblingly.

"But, Master Guan, my boss, I want this girl, no...... It's not silver......"

“…………”

When He Shen heard this, a contemptuous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"What? You are not satisfied with the way I handle it? ”

“………”

"Don't go too far, sir, our boss also has a relationship with officialdom......"

In the face of He Shen's request, although the scarface man Yu Peng was still very humble, he still refused.

"Presumptuous, this is the head of the household department, a big man surnamed Niu Hulu, and he still listens to the order quickly!"

Zeng Zhi, the seven-rank official who was following him, immediately became furious when he heard the words of the scar-faced man Yu Peng, strode forward, and shouted angrily.

"It's the master behind you, you have to be polite when you see and adults, you are a dog, where did you come from so boldly!"

“………”

On Yu Peng's side, the scar-faced man, after learning the true identity of He Shen, his head fell even lower, and he said softly: "Everything, listen to your orders!" ”

“…………”

At this time, He Shen said indifferently: "Count you as acquaintances, otherwise there will be an incident, and you will be the unlucky ones in the end!" ”

After saying this, he didn't bother to pay attention to Yu Peng, a scar-faced man with a gloomy face, and He Shen said to the old beggar Shangguan Yunsheng again.

"In the future, the two of you, just follow me, if you are alone, I am afraid that you will not be able to protect her, but there will be more trouble."

After hearing He Shen's words, the old beggar Shangguan Yunsheng was stunned, looked at He Shen in a daze, and opened his mouth to speak, but he didn't know whether he should agree or oppose.

It's just that without waiting for the old beggar Shangguan Yunsheng to refute, He Shen looked at the sky, and saw that the time was not early, so he didn't delay any longer, and walked towards the sedan chair that had been waiting for a long time.

Because of this incident, He Shen has been delayed for a lot of time, and if he continues to delay, I am afraid that there will be less time to sleep.

And the reason why He Shen kept Shangguan Yu'er from the hands of the brothel Gui Gong was because Shangguan Yu'er's experience was really pitiful, which made He Shen feel pity; Second, it is also Heshen's affirmation of his conscience.

…………

On He Shen's side, he waved his hand, said goodbye to his colleagues, and took Shangguan Yunsheng and Shangguan Yu'er into the carriage and quickly left here.

“……………”

Time passed in a hurry, and five years passed in a flash.

In the position of the head of the household department, he worked for five years, and at the age of twenty, he was successfully promoted to the Uchikura Division. The director's three-rank official position.

“………”

The Uchikura Division is one of the divisions under the household department, and is in charge of officials, officials, etc. Family. The department has a lot of power over salaries and all financial expenditures.

And He Shen, as the supreme official of the Uchikura Division, ordinary officials, have to act according to his face, otherwise, he won't even be able to send it down, and eating is a problem...

He Shen's official position was promoted so quickly and so smoothly, no one expected it.

Twenty-year-old Sanpin Jingguan, in history, there are few people who can have such achievements...

“……”

Due to the Qianlong Dynasty, the treasury was empty, and He Shen had a natural talent in current affairs and finance, especially in national financial management, so it was easy to say that the clouds were straight up.

Such an easy road to promotion is inseparable from the financial management skills that He Shen is good at.

It can be said that in the past five years, He Shen has indeed done a lot of practical things for the imperial court.

Before He Shen entered the household department, Qianlong had a difficult financial turnover and could not spend, but after He Shen's means, it turned out to be a great improvement, and the treasury had more and more silver.

“……………”

Actually, to be honest, He Shen didn't do anything big.

He just targeted and knocked the middle and low-level petty officials and petty officials. The country's taxes have increased a lot.

Most of these middle-level and low-level petty officials and officials are poor scholars, perhaps they were poor and afraid when they were young...

These middle-level and low-level petty officials and petty officials have extraordinary persistence and fanaticism for money and things...

In other words, after becoming officials, they are corrupt and pervert the law, expropriate and extort tyranny, and do all kinds of evil.

These people, after becoming officials, set up clever names, forcibly levy taxes, loot people's wealth, take measures to collect the wealth of tens of millions of people, and enrich their own wallets.

Thinking about the past five years, He Shen knocked on the middle and low-level petty officials and petty officials, and obtained 8.6 million taels of silver for the national treasury, you can see a trace...

This is the result of his five years of hard work...

“…………”

What kind of greed and madness this is...

Just squeezing out a little bit of oil and water from the bureaucracy is enough to feed the people of several provinces.

It can be seen that most of the wealth of the world lies in the hands of the bureaucracy...

In these five years of the household department, He Shen met countless corrupt officials from top to bottom of the Qing Dynasty.

They traded power for money, received from each other privately, took from each other openly and secretly, embezzled and accepted bribes, and all kinds of means of accumulating wealth were added to the bodies of tens of thousands of people.

On Heshen's side, it only takes a little beating of them to make them swallow a little, and it will be enough to fill the treasury.

“………”

There are no so-called secrets in officialdom.

In particular, Kazushen, as the supreme governor of the Uchikura Division, controlled the country. All officials, departments, salaries and all financial expenditures.

Whether the official was corrupt and how much he embezzled, and the salary issued by He Shen through the household department corresponds to the official's own family property, can be known.

"Three years of Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver", although this sentence is somewhat too aimed at officials in the world, but it is also a fact that ten officials and nine are greedy.

It is precisely because of Heshen's series of routine financial management methods that the Qianlong Emperor of the current dynasty has extraordinary favor for Heshen.
