Chapter Thirty-Six Officials Fighting (3)

(Two in one, today is the fourth update, no need to cut JJ, please vote, hehe) After making a **, you have to set up a archway. While enjoying the benefits, you also have to take the account with a fair look. Even if Lu Haoshan is such a shameless person, he feels a little blushed.

It is indeed lacking in consideration. Before they know it, they boarded their pirate ship. They were not well-known, had bad words, and were not speaking loudly. No wonder many people with backgrounds were both masters, housekeepers and long-lasting followers when they went out to work as officials. Some even brought cooks with them. This not only helped with these chores, but also tasted the food in their hometown at any time. Unfortunately, these had nothing to do with Lu Haoshan.

Fortunately, Lu Haoshan did his homework early in the morning.

"If I punish you, it is for public service and personal gain, and it cannot be convinced. If you report these matters, it will destroy the jobs of most people in the Ming Dynasty officialdom and set yourself on the target of public criticism. The best way is to turn big things into small things, right?" Lu Haoshan analyzed seriously.

"As a man, he is agile, and he admires him." Zhou Dayuan immediately responded: "Sir, it is said that the officials who are in a state of iron, and the three-year term is over, the adults will definitely be promoted. This small Jiangyou County cannot afford such talents as adults. Jiangyou County is located in a remote place and is not a rich place, but the victory is in stability. It has not caused trouble. Relying on the Fu River, the harvest will not be very bad. The days are still acceptable. In addition, the people here are so scared that they dare not make trouble. After a year, they still have to make a fortune by making a fortune by making a fortune by making a fortune by 1,000 or hundreds of taels a year."

I originally wanted the new county magistrate to go around and ask him to take all the guilt of his previous deficiencies. Now it seems that although this is his first time as an official, he is "clearing the door", and his ability to settle accounts is stronger than himself. I guess he has no hope of framed him. Besides, there is also the powerful power of the Ministry of Personnel behind him to support him. Zhou Dayuan would rather spend some money and serve this master now. When the three-year term arrives, he will get out early.

It is simply a nightmare to have someone who is so scheming and so tolerant by his side.

This is a lot of benefits of becoming an official. It is already very high. You should know that a seventh-rank county magistrate's salary is only about 40 taels per year. This "night grass" is very good. Of course, this is not comparable to the "three years of Qing magistrate, 100,000 snowflakes" of the Qing government at that time, because world trade was already very developed, and tea alone had a trade surplus of several million taels per year, as well as popular commodities such as silk and porcelain. At that time, most of the world's gold and silver flowed to China, which can be said to be rich. According to records, the annual fiscal revenue of the Qing government reached tens of millions of taels per year. In the late Ming Dynasty, the annual fiscal revenue was only more than two million taels of silver, which was not enough for the expenses of the Liaodong war. Even the army dragged its wages and the morale of the soldiers was greatly hit, which directly affected its combat effectiveness.

Of course, the gap between the two dynasties was not as big as imagined. It was just that the Ming Dynasty emphasized agriculture and suppressed commerce. If physical goods and labor were converted into silver, the fiscal revenue would definitely double. Anyway, Zhou Dayuan was very sincere and changed his mind quickly when he saw the wind.

He is truly an official who has been immersed in the officialdom for many years. It can be said that he has figured out people's hearts thoroughly.

Unfortunately, no matter how experienced Ren Zhou Dayuan has, no matter how sharp his eyes are, he cannot see through the young and young county magistrate in front of him. His goal is not the money to buy land and land, marry and take concubines. His eyes are far away, and his ambitions are swollen.

"Smack" "Smack"

Lu Haoshan clapped and said with a smile: "No, not bad, Zhou Sishi is good at speaking and dancing with long sleeves. He is such a wonderful person, a pity..."

"What a pity?" Zhou Dayuan was a little confused by Lu Haoshan's actions, and asked quickly after hearing this.

"It's a pity that you met Lu," Lu Haoshan snapped his fingers and said, "Although you did a very hidden job, you can't escape Lu's eyes."

"Oh, how can you see it?"

"It's very simple. When you plan benefits for everyone, everyone is grateful and respecting you. Because of your reasons, everyone has added extra tribute, which has more or less improved their lives, but" Lu Haoshan changed his voice and said with a smile: "If you eat meat alone and let others chew bones, it is probably not so easy for others to get along with."

Zhou Dayuan was stunned for a moment and suddenly felt a bad premonition, but he still said with a chance: "The villain doesn't know what the adults mean."

"have no idea?"

"have no idea"

Lu Haoshan slowly picked up the Longjing, the soaked one he had soaked, took two sips with great pleasure, and then he stared at Zhou Dayuan and gently spit out three words from his mouth: "Jiang Ancang".

As soon as the words Jiang Ancang were expressed, Zhou Dayuan, who had a calm face turned pale and his body shook for a while, but he said calmly: "Sir, what's wrong with Yong'ancang?"

"Why, I really have to say it?" Lu Haoshan said with a slight smile: "Zhou Sili, eating alone is easy to fat, but it is easy to choke. He has to have a good mouth."

In ancient times, prefectures and counties all had granaries, and the scale was set according to the population and wealth. The main functions of granaries were three. One was to release grain when the grain prices were high to stabilize the price of grain; the second was that the common people had no seeds when they were farming, and they could borrow seed grain from the granaries for a fee; the third function was that in the year of disaster, the government had grain in their hands and was not panicked, so they could resettle victims, stabilize the hearts of the people, and ensure peace of the country. The prices of the Ming Dynasty were stable. Take grain as an example. When the late Chongzhen period was the most turbulent, the grain in many places increased by more than doubled because the amount of salaries of officials was linked to prices, and they worked particularly hard in this regard.

Taking Jiangyou County as an example, a Jiang'an Cang was built to store grain. Jiang'an Cang was built in a mountain by the Fu River. It is surrounded by mountains and waters and can store up to 30,000 stones of rice. However, disasters are not caused every year. In the storage warehouse, it is afraid of insects and rats. New grain turns into old grain and is also a loss. A batch of grain must be stored every period of time and processed. In order to prevent excessive losses, Jiang'an Cang usually stores about 10,000 stones, and the amount is huge. This is the power of the government. The grain stored and processed every year will be a huge sum of money.

"No...I don't understand what the lord said." Zhou Dayuan's face turned pale, but he still gritted his teeth and resisted.

As long as this matter is exposed, not to mention that County Magistrate Lu, who pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger, will not let him go. Even his old boss, Chen Gui, will have to kill him.

"People, why do you have to hit the south wall before you are willing to turn back?" Lu Haoshan shook his head and said with a pity: "Okay, I have time anyway, so I will have a good chat with you."

After taking another sip of tea, Lu Haoshan said slowly: "It is said that the person who holds the keys to the warehouse are mice that fall into the rice jar, waiting to die. Zhou Sili has been in charge of the Jiangyoufang Department for five years and has already managed the households as if they were a piece of iron. He is also very skillful in doing some hidden things. Right, Lu has seen it now. Okay, let Lu talk about Zhou Sili's peerless plan."

"Of course, one person can't handle these things. I believe that there should be cooperation from several grain chiefs or gentry. It is very simple to do this. The Ming Dynasty followed the tax on the population and many places had the habit of hiding people. It was too easy for Zhou Sili, who was in charge of household registration, to make them surrender. Using population or increasing the level of those fields would make them unable to choose. If they were tempted to benefit appropriately, they would definitely be devoted to their dedication. The grain was probably handed over to the grain dealer in the hands of the grain dealer, and replaced by white

The most wonderful place for spending money is Jiangyou, which is also considered a grain production land. The grain that supplements Jiang'ancang is directly collected without spending money to purchase. Those who check the accounts will pay special attention to the flow of money, while others are just a blip. In this way, Zhou Sili can hide the truth and make a fortune. But I don't know what will he think after County Chief Chen knows these situations? What will Zhang Zhuzhu and the people in the yamen think? What will the people of Jiangyou County think? "

After saying so much in one breath, Lu Haoshan was a little tired. He stopped to look at Zhou Dayuan, who was shaking all over. His eyes were like a cat looking at the mouse under his claws. Lu Haoshan had already overwhelmed Zhou Dayuan with a strange face in his aura.

"Big... I am good at it, but the little one has a big business and a small family, and there are still a group of relatives and friends to take care of. Is there so much money, and still living in such an old house?" Zhou Dayuan clearly lost so much, but he still refused to give up.

"Oh, why bother? Zhou Sili, you and I are smart people. Why do you really have to say everything clearly like ordinary people? Don't you leave any face? Over the years, I heard that some people in Jiangyou like to exchange silver for gold, and some grain merchants also know that a certain adult likes to collect gold. Zhou Sili lives in an old house. There is only one shop under his family's name, but it is a blacksmith shop. If I guessed it well, Zhou Sili should have cast the gold he earned into gold bricks, maybe stored in his home, maybe buried in the ground, or used directly as a house to cover up, or maybe collected in the ancestral temple. No matter what, I will always find it, but I can't find it. I think Zhou Sishi will also take care of the safety of the elderly and young people in the family, right?"

The lower the investigation a person is, the higher the one he is going to be. The Ministry of Revenue Department is naturally the subject of Lu Haoshan's investigation. Even as a county magistrate, Lu Haoshan has never given up on his investigation. Combining all kinds of clues, it is easy to infer some things.

With a "bang", Zhou Dayuan suddenly collapsed to the ground, his eyes were dull, and he murmured: "I'm convinced... I'm convinced."

Lu Haoshan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, he still managed this "oil official".

"Come here." Lu Haoshan suddenly screamed, which scared Zhou Dayuan, who was temporarily lost.

"Sir, Cao Hu obeys the order." Zhou Dayuan was surprised to see Cao Hu, wearing a head-catching costume, walked out from behind the screen and saluted Lu Haoshan respectfully.

"This... Brother Zhou, you..." Zhou Dayuan pointed at Cao Hu, his mouth opened so hard that he couldn't speak smoothly.

Isn’t Cao Hu a die-hard confidant of Chen Gui? Why did he appear here? Zhou Dayuan noticed that Cao Hu walked out of the back of the screen, not from outside the door, that is, he had been peeking at the whole process, which means that he had changed his mind and surrendered to the unfathomable County Magistrate Lu? When the incident happened, why did he not hear the news at all? When Cao Hu came out, his right hand was still pressed on the iron ruler. Could this be to prevent his crime from being exposed and became angry, which was then detrimental to County Magistrate Lu?

Fortunately, I was not impulsive, otherwise I wouldn't know how to die. Zhou Dayuan's silence was so loud that he began to quickly sort out the whole thing.

Lu Haoshan said with a serious expression: "Zhou Dayuan is corrupt and abused the law. The number is extremely huge and the circumstances are particularly serious. He is immediately imprisoned. Without the order of the official, no one is allowed to see him or release him. He is given another order arrow and arrested his family and his family back to the yamen, thrown into prison, and seize all his family's wealth."

"Yes, sir." Cao Hu was overjoyed and quickly responded loudly.

The house was searched, and it was a lot of oil and water. Besides, the house of the "God of Wealth" in the Copying County was so excited that I could hear it.

Cao Hu was excited, but Zhou Dayuan, who was standing beside him, was so scared that he almost urinated. He was not as calm and steady as usual. Without saying a word, he immediately knelt down, kowtowing desperately while begging: "Sir, sir, as long as I spare my life, I can do anything, sir..."

"Sir, you can do whatever you want me to do."

"Sir, villain is willing to give all the property with both hands, just keep my dog's life."

"grown ups........"

The matter was exposed and there was no room for any reversal, especially the backer he had always relied on. If he knew the truth, he would probably be the first to kill him. As soon as Cao Hu appeared, Zhou Dayuan's last line of defense was broken. However, Zhou Dayuan, who had been an official for many years, had already become a human spirit. It was obvious that Lu Haoshan had not done anything at all. He felt a glimmer of hope in his heart, leaving the green mountains there, not afraid of burning fire. If he fell down, his family would definitely not be able to deal with County Magistrate Lu and his subordinates.

The destruction prefect, the county magistrate of the family, and a group of clerks who are like wolves and tigers, they probably knocked out the marrow of their bones and sucked them out.
