The Dongcheng Patrol Office was cleaned by yamen servants early in the morning, making everything inside and outside the yamen clean and tidy.
There was also a queue at the door, and Wen Jinming led his people to wait at the door.
Obviously, they still want to make a good impression on the new leader.
When Yan Luoying arrived, all he saw were guards lining the way to welcome him, and Wen Jinming with a flattering smile on his face.
"You are Lord Yan Luoyingyan, right? I am Wen Jinming, the deputy guard of the Patrol Office, and this is Sun Wei, the deputy guard of the Patrol Office in the East City. Welcome to take up the post!"
Wen Jinming was very enthusiastic.
Yan Luoying rarely encountered such a situation, and she was not interested in this kind of ceremony. He just said lightly: "There is no need for this, everyone go in."
As he was about to go in, Wen Jinming quickly apologized and said with a smile: "Master Garrison and Sun Wei go in first, I will take the people and wait later!"
Yan Luoying turned her head back, frowned and said, "What is Deputy Guard Wen waiting for?"
Wen Jinming said with a smile: "The one who took up the post today is the deputy guard Su Wen. After all, they will be brothers who will serve His Majesty together in the future. It's better to welcome them."
Yan Luoying said coldly: "No need, now, everyone go in with me."
As soon as she gave the order, her aura came out. After all, she had commanded the army to fight, and the unambiguous aura in her tone shocked everyone.
Wen Jinming smiled and said: "Then listen to the defense! Brothers all go in!"
Everyone dispersed after entering, only Wen Jinming and Sun Wei led Yan Luoying to familiarize themselves with various places in the patrol office.
After turning around, the two led Yan Luoying to the meeting room. Wen Jinming smiled and said, "This is where the garrison works and calls brothers for discussion."
Yan Luoying looked around, nodded and said: "I see, what is the main duty of our patrol office right now?"
Wen Jinming said: "Don't worry about this, I will give you this month's filial piety first."
After finishing speaking, he took out a stack of banknotes, put them in front of Yan Luoying, and said, "We have 3,200 shops and stalls in Dongcheng, and we have to donate 50,000 taels a month. According to the rules, you get 20%, and the deputy Everyone gets half of the defense, and the rest is distributed to the brothers below."
Yan Luoying narrowed her eyes slightly, looking at the bank notes on the table.
Ten thousand taels!
Really a lot!
She has less than 10,000 taels of net worth now, this time when she came to Beijing, Yan Ze gave her a total of 2,000 taels of silver, which is already most of Yan Ze's savings.
Yan Ze loves soldiers like a son, never embezzles and embezzles, and often comforts the families of soldiers who died in battle, so his net worth is not rich.
Yan Luoying never imagined that a mere garrison in the east city of Kyoto would receive 10,000 taels of filial piety for a month!
"All this money was collected from the shop?" Yan Luoying asked coldly.
Seeing this posture, Wen Jinming faintly felt something was wrong.
"That's right. This is a rule that has always been in the Patrol Office."
"Rules? Who made the rules?" Yan Luoying was a little angry: "You are squeezing the common people like this, but you still have a little conscience? Now return the money to me immediately, and starting today, the patrol office is not allowed to collect any more money from the common people. benefit!"
Wen Jinming didn't expect that the first thing Yan Luoying did when he came here was to cut off the biggest oil and water in the patrol office.
In fact, the patrol office has no jurisdiction over shops, but the patrol office has the right to arrest and arrest, so no matter what your business is, I will go in to search and arrest, and I will go there once a while, and your business will be over .
So it evolved that the shops consciously send tribute, and the patrol office will not harass the shops for nothing.
Wen Jinming and Sun Wei looked at each other, feeling very dissatisfied.
At this moment, a lazy voice came.
"Hehe, the garrison is here already?"
It was Su Wen who spoke. He entered the meeting room, grabbed a stool and sat down.
Wen Jinming hurried forward and said with a smile: "This is Lord Su Wen, right? I'm Wen Jinming, the deputy guard here, and that's Sun Wei, the deputy guard."
Su Wen nodded.
Wen Jinming hurriedly said: "Master Su, you came just in time. Mr. Yan is about to cut off the oil and water for our patrol station as soon as he arrives. Please help persuade him."
Su Wen's eyes lit up, and he asked curiously, "Oil and water? How much do I have every month?"
"About two thousand five hundred taels!" Wen Jinming said truthfully.
Su Wen rolled his eyes: "How much do you think, what is this little money enough for? If you want me to tell you, it will be broken."
Wen Jinming was speechless for a moment.
That's right, the guy in front of me threw out hundreds of thousands of taels a night, how could he care about 2,500 taels.
He hurriedly said: "Young Master Su, you don't care about the money, but the brothers below do. They still count on the money to support their families. If they withdraw like this, how will the brothers be able to do it?"
As soon as Wen Jinming finished speaking, Yan Luoying yelled: "Nonsense! Will His Majesty not give you salaries? Why do you need to search for such people's fat and anointing?"
Wen Jinming smiled wryly and said: "Ordinary guards earn two taels of salary per month, but these guards are all warriors, they eat a lot, and they are located in the capital of Kyoto, how can a family survive on this little money? "
This excuse can't convince Yan Luoying at all. To put it bluntly, an ordinary junior can only live for two renminbi a month, can't he
People are dissatisfied, and whoever thinks there is too much money must get as much as they can.
"Okay, I don't want to say more about this issue, just do as I said, if I find someone who dares to collect money from the common people, I will drive him out of the patrol office!"
Yan Luoying gave the order.
Wen Jinming's face darkened.
Yan Luoying ordered: "Hurry up and tell us about our recent business affairs!"
Wen Jinming said coldly: "Recently, there was a murder case in Dongcheng, and there is no clue yet. I will go and get the file right away."
"In addition, the Haisha Gang and the Tiankui Gang often fight with each other in Dongcheng. It's just that they have clean hands and no one reports to the officials. When we receive news, it is often after the incident has happened, and it is difficult to hold them accountable."
His tone was stiff.
Obviously suppressing his anger, Yan Luoying touched the biggest cake in the patrol office when he came up, which made him very dissatisfied.
Sun Wei on the side was also full of dissatisfaction.
Su Wen took everything into consideration, but didn't remind him that what Yan Luoying wanted to do had nothing to do with him.
He got up and said with a smile: "Master Guard, I still have something to do at home today, so I will ask for a day off, and I hope the guard will agree."
"No!" Yan Luoying refused without thinking.
"Oh..." Contrary to Yan Luoying's expectation, Su Wen was not angry, but just sat back quietly.
Then he shouted: "Ningshuang! Ningshuang! Bring the pastries!"
I saw Ningshuang running in from the outside, holding a food box in her hand.
After entering the door, he brought out six snacks from the snack box and placed them in front of Su Wen.
Su Wen picked up a piece of pastry, stuffed it into his mouth, and ordered: "Let He Pingan go and inform Master Mo Xin in the Spirit Master's Mansion to come here to see me."
His behavior left everyone dumbfounded.
