Chapter 13: Collecting "Tribute"!

Yuan Wenshao was very satisfied with Liu Yan's sensibility, and when he came, persecution paranoia broke out, and he thought that there must be a few people who were not long-sighted, and they were already planning to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys.

also happened to make room for his long-term entourage, but these team leaders were unexpectedly deferential, and they really didn't know what to do for a while.

For high-grade officials, there is a little more respect in the attitude.

"Master Li, Zhong Xuan took office for the first time, and asked my brother to help a lot~"

"Lord Jingcheng, you are too polite, just tell me if you have something in the future"

Liu Weizhong is still very humble here, and he raises his hand and bows every time he responds.

Because he is old and immortal, he is a thief, he is in Bianliang City, where the powerful are running all over the place, and he can mix all his life and finally make a petty official, relying on this caution in his heart.

I know very well who can be messed with and who can't be messed with, and what is the way for the little people to survive, that is, they have to pretend to be grandchildren.

"It's not in vain after so many years, the Terracotta Division Yamen naturally has two friends, I heard that this person in front of me is the son of a nobleman, and he lives in the Earl's Palace, this background is simply monstrous!"

"But you can't wait carefully, no one knows what kind of temper this master has, in case he beats himself up with his head and face, he doesn't make sense.

This old arm and leg can't stand it, seeing that it will be a career in the next two years, there is no need to fight for a long time, make money steadily, and then go home to hug his grandson is the right thing.

And Yuan Wenshao is naturally not the one who doesn't understand the four or six, I am still a foot old, the person in front of me is so old, it looks like his face is full of wrinkles and furrows, and it is estimated that he is older than the cheap and cheap father.

"Lord Liu, please sit down, let's stir the horse spoon in a pot in the future, and call me Zhongxuan in the future~"

"My lord, the etiquette must not be abolished!"

"Oops~" A trace of weirdness flashed on Yuan Wenshao's face, why did the words sound so familiar, Nima, isn't this my line?

Seeing his serious face, the vigilance in his heart was also lowered a little, anyway, Liu Yanmu is also the only person with grade in this small yamen besides himself, and it is good that he can cooperate with this.

"Rongbao, hurry up and serve tea!"

"Okay childe!" The chief waiter on the side hurriedly answered.

After pouring two cups of tea, he put them on the main table first, and then turned around to give them to Liu Yimu.

"Lord Liu, please use ~"

"I miss my little brother a lot~"

Liu Yanmu is called a person who will come to things, and in his opinion, the subordinates of the Earl's Court are not something that he can afford to provoke as a sesame official.

"Rongbao, you go down and get busy first!" Yuan Wenshao waved his hand.

After the entourage left, he smiled kindly: "Brother Liu, I just listened to the commander in the Yamen of the Soldiers and Horses!" ”

"You are the old man of our Jingcheng Institute, you have been a messenger for decades since you beat Emperor Taizong, and you are bothered to help Zhongxuan introduce you!"

"Of course, there is no such thing~"

These words tickled Liu Weizhong's itchy flesh, and he didn't look at the happy goatee, it can be said that this is the only thing he is proud of.

After going through ups and downs from a white service, he finally became the nine-grade official of the Yamen, which was the target of many patrols, and the soldiers who didn't want to be generals were not good soldiers, and everyone wanted to be able to mix in the end.

The sesame official is also an official, and don't take the officials as improper cadres, no less than the oil head of an outside county order all year round.

And here Yuan Wenshao was sitting here, still waiting for him to introduce him, but more than ten seconds later, this person was still smiling and brushing his beard, and he couldn't help muttering in his heart.

This shouldn't be Alzheimer's, I heard that his grandson is going to talk about marriage, and he is indeed dying old at this age.

After another time, he didn't speak, so he could only wave his hand and remind: "Lord Liu? ”

"Oops, the old man has just been distracted, I hope you will forgive me!" Liu Weizhong's face turned red when he pleaded guilty, he really didn't expect it to be so embarrassing.

Mainly because I have been on an errand in the Soldiers and Horses Division for so many years, I have also seen many noble children, and even been whipped countless times by the horsewhips of some gentlemen, and I have been respected by such a big person for the first time.

"Ahem~" Masaki introduced after coughing lightly.

"Hui Yu, there are a total of 54 regular patrol soldiers in the yamen, divided into 7 shifts, of which 8 people are in charge of patrolling each shift, if there is nothing important, there are a total of 16 people in two shifts on the street each time, and the shift is changed once every hour, and two shifts are left on duty at night!"

"Set up a squad leader and a deputy squad leader, with crossbow arrows and waist knives to lead people to patrol the streets, of course, the people call it the head catcher, but there is still a difference between our and Kaifeng Mansion's fast catch!"

"There is also a station of 5 people, responsible for guarding the yamen and guarding the prisoners, and when it comes to the next duty, we need to escort the prisoners who are admitted on the street during the day to the yamen, and we don't have to take care of the rest!"

Speaking of this, Liu Weizhong was a little thirsty, and was about to pick up the teacup to take a sip, but suddenly thought of forgetting something.

hurriedly added: "By the way, my lord, there are more than 50 people in the Yamen White Army, and they are usually on patrol with the regular service!" ”

"In addition, there are five scribes, who are in charge of some of the work of the case, and these people are under the control of me!"

"Oh~" Yuan Wenshao nodded, thinking about it in his heart.

His own jurisdiction is not the most prosperous place in the southern city, about one square kilometer, with a population of 20,000 people, and more than 100 people in this white service, it seems that it is quite simple to manage.

But in fact, it is not so easy, as the capital of Bianjing, there are many ordinary people outside the city during the day to beg for a living, and the foreign population will increase a lot, which adds many factors to public security.

"Lord Liu, then this is normal..."Before he could finish speaking, he saw his eldest companion Rong Bao walk in.

"See my lord, Zhao Bantou and Liu Bantou who are patrolling today have something to ask to see!"

"Let them in!" Yuan Wenshao nodded in agreement.

Then I saw two squad leaders in black uniforms and thin armor walking in, but strangely enough, each of them had a small box in their hands.

The Five Cities Terracotta Division also belongs to the military sequence, so both of them knelt down on one knee and saluted.

said loudly: "Subordinates see your lord!" ”

"The two of you are exempt~" Yuan Wenshao raised his hand with a kind face.

Among them, although Zhao Bantou looked rough, he was more clever, and he got up and put the box in his hand on the table.

He smiled and said: "My lord, this is the tribute fee of our class today, the little ones don't dare to slack off, and they will send it to the adults as soon as they return to the yamen~"

"Oh, yes!" The other Liu Bantou was relatively young, so he didn't react and was half a beat slower, and after glaring at his colleagues, he hurriedly put the wooden box on it.

Although Yuan Wenshao has never eaten pork, he has also seen pigs run, looking at the two boxes on the table, he instantly understood what was going on, "tribute" is nothing more than another word for protection money.

When you enter the township, you have to follow the customs, don't play anything out of the mud when you first arrive, so it is estimated that you can't wait for the night, and you have to be squeezed out by these old fritters, so you will look at the eyes and signal to put it away.

"Wow~" Seeing Rong Bao pick up the box directly.

Seeing this, the two team leaders below blinked their eyes, and they didn't dare to say anything if they wanted to say anything, so they could only turn their heads and ask for help from Liu Yimu next to them.

"Ahem!" Liu Weizhong coughed lightly.

got up and leaned over and whispered: "Adult, box~"

"Oh~" Yuan Wenshao reacted immediately, looking at the box was a little painted, it is estimated that it must be a year, and it belongs to the tool of collecting "tribute......

To be continued!
