On the second day, Min Qiuye declined Xu's proposal to see him off, and we went to Chengdu Mansion. Many people have already sent people to inform the Chengdu government, and when they came to the gate of the Chengdu government, three or four officials had been waiting at the gate.
Min Qiuye was appointed by the Chengdu government to pass the sentence. He was in charge of anti-pirates, horse administration, grain requisition and public security in the six counties under the jurisdiction of the Chengdu government. Of course, the prefect Zhang would not come to take care of his identity.
Those subordinates also secretly measured Lao Min in private and spoke carefully. For this kind of new officials, it is very important to meet for the first time. If you don't know the right way, it is easy to settle down.
If you hold the air, others will think that you are too difficult to get along with, and you will always be on guard when you talk and do things. If there is no arrogance, the other party will only think that you are a soft persimmon.
As the saying goes, when a new official takes office, there are three fires. This is official rule.
After all, if you are a newcomer, if you don't burn people to make your way, how can you start work in the future? Therefore, even if the first three fires are a bit excessive, the superiors will generally not hold them accountable. After all, they are sent by them.
The three fires used by the former three fires are pure, the highest level is to attract and not send, so that colleagues and subordinates feel that it will happen at any time, but they never move. So when colleagues speak and act, they will always have some worries. Over time, authority will be established. Up.
Of course, these are all official circles, but since ancient times, Zhengqi has complemented each other and has a special skill, but there are many people who can't be like a fish in officialdom. There is a big basket of sour and unrecognized articles, selling dog meat with sheep's heads. , Occupies the official position to find a clear name, oh yes, there is a word called corpse seat vegetarian meal.
After all, Min Qiuye has been in officialdom. He speaks and does everything without leaking. It neither makes people feel too arrogant, nor does it make people feel that you are dispensable.
Arrived in Chengdu government office, the prefect Zhang had a banquet. The trustee told Min Qiuye to catch the wind in the evening. Min Qiuye was not upset. He declined the request for a banquet in several class rooms and went directly to work. He called the host of several classes under his control and gave a brief introduction. After a while, everyone sat down for a meeting.
Liu Qingfeng and Xue Yuer are going to visit Chengdu Mansion, while I chat with Master Bu in the newly vacated study room. After getting along for a few days, this Master Bu's words are funny, but they are also a little real, otherwise, because of Lao Min's character, he won't really let him follow him.
The two talked about the situation in Central Shu. I said that after the King of Shu rebellion, the situation in Sichuan was quite complicated. Officials only made money for personal gain. The government was closely related to Jianghu gangs. Bandits in the south were also rampant. I'm afraid that Lao Min will perform his duties this time. It won't go too smoothly.
Master Bu said, Sichuan government affairs have been abandoned for a long time, and there are too many places to be rectified. The prefect of Zhang was throwing his hand at the shopkeeper again. Before he came, Shi Lang, the official subordinate, specially asked Master Min to exhort him to talk. With the support of the court elders, Master Min let him go. At present, the situation is not optimistic.
I asked, what is the priority for the rectification
Master Bu said, Master Min and I have discussed the four strategies for governing Shu, and summed it up in four sentences, including the suppression of political affairs, the elimination of corrupt officials, the seizure of pirates, and the leveling of the rivers and lakes.
I said that these four sentences are reasonable, but everything touches the foundation of the entire Shuzhong officialdom interest system. If Xu Tuzhi, I am afraid that Lao Min will be eaten by those old fritters before he can make any achievements. There are no bones left. If you use a strong dose, I am afraid that you will suffer a greater rebound.
Master Bu laughed and said, he couldn't think that Daxia Qin had such a thorough analysis of official affairs. It would be a shame not to be an official. I thought I was half a public servant, but Sichuan did not set up Dengwenyuan. As for the six doors, hehe, the emperor of the mountain is far away, and even the prefect ignores the imperial court. How can you count on them
Holding a box of bills in his arms, Min Qiuye returned to the study with a gloomy expression. I asked what was going on.
Min Qiuye said, today’s meeting was held, and I learned some basic information about the Chengdu prefecture. Several classrooms reported that the entire Chengdu government grain warehouse had a deficit of more than 100,000 taels of silver. The prefect Zhang also attended the meeting, and after learning about it, he ordered me to investigate the matter thoroughly.
I said that it won't happen early, and it won't happen late. As soon as you take office, you will come out. I'm afraid that the prefect Zhang knew about this a long time ago. He tried to be stable and inconvenient to make a move. You came. It happened to be a fake hand for you. As soon as you try your ability, if you do well, you will count his grades. On you. Secondly, I'm afraid this is an offensive job, and he uses it to force you to move closer to him.
Master Bu said, Master Min shouldn’t be anxious, although I’m not talented, I know a little bit about money and food. The granaries and officials are different from place to place, but the reason for the deficit is nothing more than interest-generating and donation.
Huh? Min Qiuye didn't expect that he would have such an opinion, so she couldn't help but prick her ears.
Bu Weiqian went on to say: The so-called interest-generating means that the grain in the granary is sold at a reduced price and replaced by silver loan merchants to earn interest to make up for the shortfall and share the shortfall; however, when the granary is delivered, it cannot be delivered in full, resulting in a shortfall. .
There are several reasons for this. One is to take over the deficit of the predecessor and cannot bear to make up for it out of his own pocket; the other is that the silver is diverted for other purposes and cannot be returned on time; the third is that when the money is collected, the people pay copper money, but recently they have not Stable, the price of silver rose sharply, and after the original collection of silver money was exchanged, a partial deficit was formed.
When officials are in office, they move around and borrow, and they still maintain it, but once they leave their posts, the shortfall cannot be made up, so they can only ask their superiors for instructions and share them on a monthly basis. The new official takes over the predecessor’s slack, and then passes on the new deficit to the next, just like drumming and passing flowers. When it becomes irreparable, it is completely exposed.
Min Qiuye heard it, and suddenly said, I have read too many books, and my mind is a bit pedantic. Fortunately, Master Bu has a great talent.
Master Bu smiled, where is great power, I used to be a master for seven or eight masters, it's just that I have more knowledge and experience.
I asked curiously, I don’t know what the future of the previous masters of Master Bu is
Master Bu shook his head, sighed and said: Decapitating the head, the double-regulation of the double-regulation, there are not many that start and end well.
I don't know what Lao Min thinks after hearing it, but he has a black line on his face anyway. Fortunately, they are all adults. Min Qiuye didn't delve into the matter too deeply, and then asked, what should be done
Master Bu said that if you want to investigate this matter, you must first abolish the two evils of interest-earning and sharing donations, find out the amount of deficit in each county and the reason, and conduct a detailed investigation. If the interest is earned as of the end of the year, the shortfall will be recovered by the official who issued the loan. If debts occur again after the investigation, it is a matter of playing the board together.
The two of them discussed in the middle of the night. Although Min Qiuye arranged a place to live in the mansion, after all, it was not convenient for us to live in it. After discussing it, the three of us stayed in an inn in the Chengdu mansion.
For several days, Master Bu organized everyone in the mansion to check the empty granary. Min Qiuye changed into civilian clothes and did not bring soldiers and servicemen. Accompanied by the three of us, he learned about the customs in Shuzhong and was familiar with various government affairs in Chengdu.
But Liu Qingfeng, after coming down for a few days, as soon as he went out to the street, he held Xue Yuer's hand tightly and refused to let go. I said you guys are fine, chasing her so soon, now this is a fancy show of affection.
Liu Qingfeng curled his lips, I was afraid that when I let go, Xiao Yuer would spend money to buy things indiscriminately.
Xue Yuer said that I hadn't promised you anything yet, so I was so stingy. When I first met you before, you were not like this.
I even corrected it, no, no, he hasn't changed. Liu Qingfeng said you will die if you don't expose the old man? Min Qiuye and I laughed.
The four people wandered around the Jiuyan Bridge. Although the middle of Shu is chaotic, the Chengdu government is also the central government of Yizhou. In addition, this place is the first sect of the Tang sect in the middle of Sichuan. It is surrounded by local gangs, and the road is also prosperous. . After stopping at Qiaotou, an aunt came up and asked, can I apply for a permit
Liu Qingfeng wondered, what proof is there
The aunt immediately opened the chat box, ID card, academic certificate, seal engraved seal, horseback certificate, master certificate, marriage certificate, birth certificate, everything, our craftsman, under the tutelage of the world’s most amazing man Lu Miaozi, quality assurance, can be inspected beforehand. Payment.
Min Qiuye said that he has long heard that the Jiuyan Bridge has made the certificate and won the world, so I will ask, can you make imperial decree here
When the aunt heard this, she slapped her tongue and said, that's the crime of beheading!
I just asked if I could.
Aunty, as long as the price is right, let alone forged imperial decree, I will get you the Declaration of Independence. Min Qiuye smiled and nodded, leaving her aunt's contact information.
Xue Yu'er obtained a first-grade master certificate and swayed in front of Liu Qingfeng. Now we are also a first-grade master. If you bully me in the future, I don't want to beat you.
As if with the certificate in hand, she really became a master of the first grade. Liu Qingfeng surrendered again and again, saying that he did not dare.
At this moment, suddenly a ravioli stall in front of him was noisy, and Xue Yuer was happy to be noisy, and he leaned forward. Seeing two young men, one tall and one short, with a few poppies beating an old man, the old man was curled up on the ground holding his head begging for mercy. Liu Qingfeng stepped forward and rescued the old man from the two.
What's the matter
The old man said, eat people without food, but also pay!
Tall, old stuff, I eat your money to reward you, and there is a way to behave with Laozi
Short said, growing up so big, I have never seen such a shameless face.
If you have some help, you don't want to inquire about it. At the Jiuyan Bridge, you will be worthy of you after passing the Jianglong Yang Weiyang uncle and knocking the mountain tiger Pang Guangpang.
Liu Qingfeng frowned, saying good things. What kind of ability to bully the elderly at every turn? A finger at the old man's panda eyes, look at it, they are all labeled as national treasures.
Knock the mountain tiger Pang Guangdao, brother, if you force your head, then draw a line.
Liu Qingfeng laughed, cats have cat paths, mice have mouse paths, people are good at being bullied by others, and horses are good at being ridden by others. As the saying goes, one side raises a bully. Since you want to draw roads, then I will satisfy you.
After all, Lu Longjian came out of the sheath.
Squeaky. Three cold lights flashed, and three blood bars were drawn on Pang Guang's face. I think you don’t call it “Knock the Mountain and Zhenhu” in the future, just call it Sandaogang. How about Captain Jiuyanqiao
Pang Guang had never seen such a clever swordsmanship before taking a piss on his pants. I sigh secretly, this huge bladder is a bit small.
Upon seeing this, Yang Wei and the others hurriedly helped Pang Guang and left in a hurry. Before leaving, I left a sentence, the green hills will not change, and the green water will flow. Since you provoke our big swordsmanship, then don't blame us for being polite.
Liu Qingfeng shouted from behind, don’t be polite, how come you are not polite, why are you running!
I said you are in comparison with these little gangsters. Liu Qingfeng said that when I just graduated, I suffered from this kind of humiliation and bullying in the capital. At that time, I thought, if Lao Tzu became a masterful martial artist, I would fight one by one. It’s not just for chivalry to see one pair play one pair, but because of this, it’s cool to think about it, ha!
These two, just like Zheng Guanxi of the Sihetang in the capital, relying on the power behind them and their unrelenting temperament, they acted as little brothers, thugs, collected protection fees, and ganged up, broke blood. This is a world.
The Murong family and the Nangong family, the Guanlong Li family and the Southwest Wulin, controlled the local economy and trade, scarce materials, and struggled to fight for the territory. This is also a world.
Zhao Fuyi and the Three Vulgarities, Wugong goes beyond the three realms, what they understand is the realm of heaven and man, and when they do it, the situation changes suddenly, and the world changes color. This is still the world.
There are so many rivers and lakes in life!
