Fang Jin ordered people to bring two official robes, one of which was a public uniform and a regular robes.

Public uniforms are official receptions, often worn during courts. Common uniforms can be used as worn by officials when they go out and inspect the public.

Both official robes are brand new.

Fang Jin said that this was what he planned to use when he went to Huguang as the deputy envoy of the Censor.

At that time, Fang Jin immediately ordered two people to do it, but unexpectedly, before he took office, the court issued an order to let him go to Henan to serve as a political player.

The deputy envoy of the Censorate is the fourth rank, just like the prefect.

For example, Hu Tixue, who Lin Yanchao met when he was young, felt so unattainable at that time, but now he is just a fourth-rank like him.

At the same time, there is a good omen for this official uniform, and you will be promoted as soon as you complete the official uniform.

Of course, Lin Yanchao thanked him happily. After careful examination, he found that these fourth-grade public uniforms were round-necked shirts with satin, which were similar to those in the past fifth-grade public uniforms. The difference was that the color of the clothing changed from cyan to bright red, that is, scarlet.

Then the belt of the fourth-grade public uniform is decorated with gold lychees, while the pattern of the fifth-grade public uniform is black horns.

The belt of the first-rank official is covered with jade.

When Zhang Ju was taking the imperial examination, the examiner praised Zhang Juzheng for being able to hold on to his waist, saying that Zhang Juzheng could be the first-class person in the future.

The golden lychees on the belt given by Fang Jin were of course sufficient gold and valuable.

As for regular clothes, it is different. In addition to the color of clothes, it is the patches in front of the official robe. However, the robe embroidered with Yun Yan on the scorch, not the white robe on the original green robe.

Civil officials fly birds, military officials fly beasts, and emperors give them swearing as pythons.

This is how officials can tell their superiority.

Birds and beasts on the patch are the way for officials and the people to distinguish the level of official positions. Although this method is a little bit rustic, it is clear. It is always implicit than the words "first grade", "second grade", and "third grade" written directly on the official robe.

These two official robes cost a total of dozens of taels of silver, and Lin Yanchao accepted it from Fang Jin with a smile.

Fang Jin suddenly gave him a generous gift, I don’t know what it meant.

Fang Jin sighed and said, "Zong Hai, you have been promoted, but now I have a difficult task. I am already worried about not having a good sleep for several days and nights."

Lin Yanchao looked like I knew this before. The last time Qiu Wei impeached Henan officials, Fang Jin was among them.

If the charges of the last time were confirmed, Fang Jin would at least be demoted to remote mountainous areas or in a smoky place.

Lin Yanchao actually helped him once.

Lin Yanchao said: "Da Shen, why not talk about it and see if I can help."

Fang Jin nodded and said, "To be honest, I have just been promoted to magistrate, so I shouldn't be hindering these things, but there are difficulties at the moment. I just received the news that the Ministry of Revenue will be sent to the Ministry of Revenue to inspect the warehouse in Henan."

Lin Yanchao cursed in his heart, and he really didn't save himself any trouble. He asked: "Didn't the inspector Zeng, the inspector, just inspected the warehouse last year? Why are people coming again?"

Fang Jin nodded and said, "Yes, the imperial court has a system. The inspector and the censor once every three years. Last year, I moved around and finally got it over. But this year, the Ministry of Revenue did not mind the lack of work, so he sent the local department to inspect the warehouse. The two capitals and thirteen provinces were the Ministry of Revenue to draw Henan and Shandong provinces. Humph, when the Qinghuang did not meet, I came to inspect the warehouse, and it was really a random piano."

Fang Jin is a part of the way to keep the way.

What is the responsibility of distinguishing the way of preserving the way? Assisting the governor in charge of the money and grain in the area, supervising the farming and sedimentary, and assessing officials, simplifying the army and solidifying the guards.

To put it bluntly, the most important thing is to understand local money and valleys, then supervise the tuition, collect local taxes, and exile them.

In the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty attached great importance to Guanguan Warehouse. You should know how Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang won the world because of these nine words.

'Build high walls, accumulate grain, and be king slowly'.

Therefore, the way of seizing the way is to assist the governor to collect all the money and grain, and then serve as military force. As for the following officials, they are second to seal the border.

Fang Jin was the main responsibility of guarding the Daliang, and was responsible for collecting the taxes of Kaifeng and Guide governments and then entering the warehouse.

This ward warehouse is an official warehouse directly under the jurisdiction of the General Secretary.

On Daliang Road, there is a military storage warehouse in Kaifeng Prefecture, Guangji Warehouse in Yuzhou, and Yongji Warehouse in Chenzhou.

There is Guangying Cang in Guide Prefecture, and there is Guangfeng Cang in Suizhou, the Daliang Road Yamen stationed.

These five warehouses have warehouse ambassadors, which are managed by the General Administration. The money collected from various prefectures and counties are stored in these five warehouses.

The military rations, salaries of officials, etc. are all paid from here.

Now, Fang Jin told me that the warehouse had a deficit, and this charge was enough for Fang Jin to behead him. Lin Yanchao wanted to turn around and leave immediately, as if he had never known you before.

Of course, Lin Yanchao thought about it, but found that he could not leave like this.

These two official robes are insignificant, but who is Fang Jin? Like Lin Yanchao, they are both Shen Shixing Party. Everyone is their own. Although you are a teammate of the pig, if Lin Yanchao refuses to save him, the boss will be angry.

Lin Yanchao said: "The Jialu River has not been opened yet, and the whole of Henan is in a food shortage. Where can I find food for you at this time?"

Fang Jin smiled and said, "It might as well be a short time. It's just a 20,000 stone left. It's just a small task for you, brother."

Lin Yanchao's expression slowed down after hearing this. Fortunately, he couldn't help.

He has just taken over the prefect, and he has to deal with big and small matters, so he doesn't have to discuss it as before.

Moreover, the supervisor was not there, so Lin Yanchao could still settle the position from the warehouse and allocate 20,000 stones from the reserve warehouse to Fang Jin.

But Lin Yanchao thought again and thought, "It's not right. Although these 20,000 stones are a lot, it should not be difficult to borrow 20,000 stones from Kaifeng grain merchants with the face of Fang Jin's official. It's better than speaking to himself."

Lin Yanchao was suspicious in his heart, but smiled and said, "Then, can it be delayed until the summer grain is collected?"

Fang Jin said: "Kechen will be here next month."

"If it is only 20,000 stones, then it may not be impossible to talk to Kechen. Who is this Kechen? When he was in the cabinet, many of his colleagues from the Six Sections were familiar with each other."

Fang Jin smiled with a surprised look on his face and said, "I dare not bother Zong Hai."

Lin Yanchao saw this and said in his heart: "Fang Dasan, Kaifeng is the largest mansion to save money and grain. Just talking about the military storage and grain storage in Kaifeng, all the official warehouses in our Guide Mansion combined are less than 20% of them."

"Why didn't Fang Dasan borrow grain from Kaifeng, but went to my small mansion, Guide to borrow grain."

Fang Jin asked Yan silently: "This..."

Lin Yanchao shook his head and asked directly: "Fang Dasan, if you don't tell the truth, please forgive me... OK, how bad is the situation now? Is it 50%?"

Fang Jin said: "Not."

"Thirty percent?"

Fang Jin shook his head again.

Lin Yanchao wanted to smash Fang Jin's head with a tea bowl and asked, "You can't even have a 100% chunk!"

Fang Jin was angry and embarrassed and said, "How is this possible!"

"What's the difference between 10% and 50%?"

Lin Yanchao was also angry. This Fang Jin was really lying to himself.

Fang Jin came up and didn't say that he had brought such a big loss, but said that I was only 10,000 or 20,000 stones away, just help me.

This is like borrowing money to buy a house. The down payment is hundreds of thousands, saying that you owe hundreds of thousands of yuan to buy a house. If you borrow tens of thousands or two, no one will borrow it.

If I say I owe 10,000 or 20,000 yuan and then borrow it one by one, most people will consider it if they have a relationship.

So Lin Yanchao couldn't say that he had 20,000 stones less, but he had lost so much at once.

Lin Yanchao lent him the food, just like a poor man lending money to a billionaire who is about to go bankrupt.

Fang Jin was like a doom. The 20,000 stones that Lin Yanchao lent were not returned, and he would have to suffer as well.

This Fang Jin is really not kind, and he has to pull himself into the water for his own life.

Lin Yanchao was very angry, and he didn't care whether he was polite or not. You are determined to be finished. If you want to die, you will die by yourself. Why are you going to harm me?

"Zonghai, you can't stand by death and refuse to save me! I have no choice now," Fang Jin put down his airs and said, "You are the prefect now. You often allocate tens of thousands of stones from the reserve warehouse below the prefecture and county to help Brother Yu. If you pass this level, Brother Yu will be grateful for your great kindness!"

Lin Yanchao gritted his teeth and said, "The reserve warehouse is often used by the court to relieve famines. The court has a clear order that the preparatory warehouse accumulates tens of stones, the preparatory warehouse of the preparatory warehouse of the preparatory warehouse of the preparatory warehouse of the preparatory warehouse of the preparatory warehouse of the preparatory warehouse of the preparatory warehouse of the preparatory warehouse of the preparatory warehouse of the preparatory warehouse of the preparatory warehouse of the preparatory warehouse of the preparatory warehouse of the county, and if the shortcomings are found, all officials will be cut off and removed!"

"If I lend you the grain from the prefecture and county, if there is a famine and there is no grain in the reserve warehouse, I will not become a sinner to the people of this government. Even if there is no famine this year, if someone knows about this matter, or if the province sends officials to check the warehouse, then wouldn't I have to pay you a black hat?"

"Even if you take a step back, none of these things happened, but the prefectures and counties have less food reserves. If you have such a big loss, it would be a drop in the bucket to lend you."

Lin Yanchao finished speaking, but saw Fang Jin's face turn blue and white, as if he was very angry, and he was on the verge of the explosion.

Lin Yanchao developed a sense of caution, and when people were desperate, everything would happen.

But when he saw Fang Jin for a while, he smiled bitterly, leaned against the back of the chair, and said dejectedly: "What are I seeking for ten years of hard work? What official am I to be? If I had known this, it would be better to listen to Master Hanshan's words, practice Zen at home, and do what to do in this world of worldly affairs when I became an official?"

"My career seems to be done in this political position."

As Fang Jin said, Master Hanshan was a famous monk. Wang Shizhen and even Empress Dowager Li praised him very well and were very famous among the scholars and officials.

Lin Yanchao felt a little reluctant to see Fang Jin like this. After all, the two had a relationship, but Lin Yanchao could not afford to lose himself for this relationship.

However, Lin Yanchao thought of a way to save Fang Jin. He just cheated him just now. Should he tell me?

Now seeing Fang Jin like this, Lin Yanchao finally said: "Can you delay for two months?"

"Two months?"

"Yes, once the Jialu River is cleared, the grain ships from Susong and Huguang can arrive in Kaifeng, and the grain prices will inevitably fall sharply."

Fang Jin said: "It is difficult to clear the Jialu River in two months. Kechen will be in Henan next month, and there will be a middle-aged official to accompany him. It is even more difficult to let them let me go."

Fang Jin said dejectedly again: "Zonghai, I know you are a living person. That's right, I have a lot of money in my hand now, but the price of grain is so high, how can I buy it?"

Lin Yanchao said: "No, unless someone is willing to sell the grain to you first based on the grain price in a few months."
