Chapter 30
Seeing the angel in front of me, after listening to his introduction, his face gradually changed from relaxed to thoughtful; The movement also froze in place.

After hesitating for a moment, he pinched the thread book in his left hand, and deliberately put his left hand behind his back; then his expression became more submissive, and he tentatively said:

"Angel, I'm a rough person in a humble position. If you lack etiquette in front of an angel, please don't blame him."

"Oh, what I'm thinking has nothing to do with what President Zhang said, so please don't take it to heart."

Li Yuntang pressed down what was on his mind first, and waved his hand at the bureau chief, signaling him to relax; then seeing that Zhang Xianqiu seemed to be hiding something behind him, he asked:
"Boss Zhang, what you are holding is"

Seeing that the other party took the initiative to ask, Zhang Xianqiu knew that his act of playing hard to get had an effect, and hurriedly offered the thread-bound book with both hands, and explained at the same time:

"Angel, this is the detailed list of more than [-] people under the jurisdiction of my police office. Please look at it."

Li Yuntang couldn't help but took another look at the bureau chief, not knowing why he made such a cover-up move, he felt a little wary in his heart, then took the book in his hand, and looked at it carefully.

Opening the first page, I can only see the preface part above, which is divided into five chapters in the order of A, B, C, D, and E; and then turn it back, the more I look at Li Yuntang, the more I feel that this Xianqiu may have something different. meaning, but I can't say it for a while.

After turning a few more pages, Li Yuntang finally couldn't suppress the doubts in his heart, and asked:
"Mr. Zhang, on your roster, I know that the bureau chief, banner chief, and captain are officials at all levels. They can be written after the name, such as 'Tabai', 'Youyi', 'Tanma' and other suffixes. , what do you mean?"

"Angel, this is Emperor Gaozong, who specially ordered me to visit the Nan Yamen for me.

Since this office has nothing to do with the government, it does not use the nine to first grades of the imperial court, but from bottom to top, they are divided into 'Tanma', 'Rebuke the Army', 'Youyi', 'Tabai', and 'Xuanfeng' fifth order.

Before everyone enters the yamen, they are the lowest level of 'explorers', and they can be promoted step by step by making meritorious service through finding out information; "

Oh, it turned out to be something like a performance appraisal.

Li Yuntang nodded slightly, to show that he understood, but he knew that the bureau chief must have said more than that, so he stared at Zhang Xianqiu motionlessly, indicating that he had something else to say directly, without beating around the bush.

"Angel forgive me, but this matter is quite difficult to talk about, so I can only use a little trick."

Seeing that Zhang Xianqiu's mind was seen through, he made another announcement. When Li Yuntang impatiently waved his hand to signal to speak directly, he finally got down to business:
"Angel, since the queen mother killed a group of ministers who cared about her life, the police station in the South Yamen has never been favored by heaven, and there are iron laws in the Yamen. I can't take the initiative to contact you, so I can only wait for the angel to come——

Issue salary. "

Li Yuntang listened very comfortably to the first half of the sentence, especially when he referred to the murdered person as a "Minister Gu Ming" rather than a "traitor who hindered the country".

But the latter sentence made a 180-degree turn and turned into asking for a salary from himself, which almost gave him a flash.

But having said that, it is not disrespectful to ask for a salary, let alone that the people who police the Nanya are not loyal to the emperor.

As the saying goes, eating the emperor's salary, taking care of the emperor's worries, and doing things for the emperor while asking for his own reasonable income, there is nothing wrong with it.

What's more, they didn't ask for salary right away, and they didn't show the tendency of "waiting for the money to get their hands on it, and then doing errands".

Instead, explain everything clearly first, and then beg for salary from Li Yuntang on the sidelines. This attitude is already quite good.

In his previous life, Li Yuntang hated the boss who was in arrears of wages the most. Naturally, he would not feel that he was "maliciously asking for wages", so he immediately asked:

"How much salary is owed to you, when I go back and report to the emperor, I will make up for it at once."

"Thank you Angel."

Zhang Xianqiu took a long breath, and then explained the details in detail:
"The salary in Nan Ya Nei is distributed according to the rank. The monthly salary for exploring horses is 4 taels, the monthly salary for rebuking the army is 5 taels, the monthly salary for Youyi is 8 taels, the monthly salary for Tabai is 12 taels, and the monthly salary for choosing front is 18 taels;
There are 3 selected fronts in this Yamen, 39 Tabai, 142 Youyi, 443 Chajun, and the rest are Tanma;

The total salary is 23706 taels. "

Li Yuntang was stunned by this reckoning.

The reason for the surprise was not the total salary of more than 2 taels; it was because the treatment of the policemen in Nanya was simply too generous.

To reach the rank of the front rank, the total annual income is 216 taels of silver, which is 36 taels higher than the salary of a first-rank official in the court!
Although the salaries of the courtiers only accounted for part of their income, from this aspect alone, we can also get a glimpse of the high treatment of the policemen in the Nanya.

Besides, the lowest-grade Tanma has a monthly salary of as much as 4 taels, which is 48 taels a year. Silver will only reach 2 taels.

As for the long-term laborers who plan food in the soil, after a year, they can get six or seven taels, which is already very good.

At the same time, Li Yuntang also understood how the secrecy and loyalty of the police Nanya was maintained since Emperor Gaozong:
First of all, it is more difficult to separate this department from the officialdom system, and it is more difficult for them without official status to serve as officials and gentry alone, and it is easy to show their feet;

Secondly, control their economic lifeline, mainly with high salaries, supplemented by monarchs and ministers, and maintain their loyalty from both material and spiritual aspects;

The third is that Li Yuntang heard from the emperor when he was a child that there is a system of mutual reporting among the police in the Nan Yamen, and when the reports of colleagues leaking secrets and betrayals are verified, the reporting party will directly obtain all the personal belongings of the reported party and be arrested. The informant will have his entire family landed;
Fourth, it was Li Yuntang's own guess. Since there was no unified jurisdiction, the various bureaus were not subordinate to each other and checked and balanced each other.

The four-pronged approach, although it can't be said to be perfect, but at least nothing has gone wrong so far; the Empress Dowager Yi'an and the courtiers are completely unaware of the existence of this intelligence department, and the police Nanya still only obeys orders from the emperor, which is proof.

After clearing his mind, Li Yuntang turned to Zhang Xianqiu, who was staring at him eagerly, and promised:
"Director Zhang, I will report this matter to His Majesty as soon as possible. The salary that should be settled will not be less than a penny."

Zhang Xianqiu let out a long sigh of relief when he heard the words, stepped back a few steps, and bowed deeply to Li Yuntang. The latter got up and approached him before he finished, and said in a low voice:
"Next, Mr. Zhang, please tell me about the specific situation of the six imperial guards guarding the Imperial City."
