Zhu Yuanzhang can see my dreams

Chapter 144 144 They can’t even make money reasonably, they’re just a bunch of lowlifes

When Wang Buli listened to Zhong Niu's report, he found that the things he had interrogated could corroborate each other.

Selling roads as a way to make money is simply a shady business between them.

It is also a common thing to harbor thieves, soldiers, criminals and fugitives.

As long as the money is in place, there is no one they dare to let go.

Every time people from the inspection department go to the countryside, they have to ask for food and drinks from the villagers, which is extremely harassing to the people.

What are the miscellaneous expenses for husband and horse, money for visiting, money for paying bills, and money for traveling?

Wang Buli listened to these names asking for money. He felt that everyone should fully use their brains when it comes to collecting money.

The inspection made the archers under their command follow Zhu Yuanzhang's settings.

As usual, the Jindian archers will serve in the corresponding person's house in Dingliang and be replaced every year.

There are three sources.

One is the Jian corvee sect, which is of the nature of "power difference chai" and makes Chai among lower households and even middle and lower households.

The second is to recruit people for service. Those who are unwilling to serve usually hire people to serve privately.

The third is the permanent archers, which are the guards' troops, and their profession is hereditary.

In the past few years, the Inspection Department followed Zhu Yuanzhang's orders, but after there was no one to supervise, they spent their own money to buy quotas and serve as archers.

It takes a lot of effort for them to draw a bow and shoot an arrow.

But if they are asked to extort money from the people through swindles and extortion, then they will be very energetic.

Listening to their methods of collecting money, Wang Buli felt that these brats were really low-level. They even tried to make money in such a wasteful way and lowered their standards.

An inspection department usually has about ten people, but now it has expanded to forty-five people.

The value of a quota is about thirty taels of silver, and you need to have a strong relationship.

And some people want to spend money, but they can't find a way to become archers.

These archers don't dare to catch real robbers, but if they want to arrest someone for the crime, they are really good at it.

It is quite interesting that the Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers borrowed the heads of fellow villagers and received rewards.

Zhu Yuanzhang also thought that his system could be implemented for thousands of generations.

But in just a few years, the system has been badly implemented by the people below.

Especially these people are still hanging out in the capital, not to mention that the further areas controlled by Ming will be so bad.

Some things are really Zhu Yuanzhang's wishful thinking.

Wang Buli listened to Zhong Niu's words, the expression on his face did not change.

Probably because he has heard too many bad things, he has no anger at all.

This world is a world of cannibalism.

It's just that one group of people changed and another group of people were eaten.

Merchants gathered in the towns outside the city, and thieves were frequent.

Not only will these people from the inspection department not suppress them, but they will also receive the respect of thieves.

If the new thief didn't visit the dock, he would have to be arrested by the inspection department.

Damn it, the new stinky beggar doesn't understand the rules. I need to give him a big memory recovery technique to teach him how to behave.

For the casino set up by the grass-roots team in the town, the inspection department had to take a severe cut.

So these people had plenty to eat.

Wang Buli nodded.

He personally poured Zhong Niu a cup of herbal tea and talked about his hard work.

Let's go down and rest for a while, waiting for dinner in the evening.

Let's do this for today. We have almost learned the information that we need to know. The next step is to get evidence.

After Wang Buli figured out how to make money in Jiangning County Prison, he was going to invite his former colleagues in for evaluation.

Only in such a model prison can there be more room for improvement.

They must spit out all their dirty money to benefit their colleagues outside the prison and make due contributions.

After the eight inspectors went through the process one by one, the aroma of cooking meat wafted out from the yard.

Thinking back to the last time we all had stewed pork, it was back when Wang Buli pitted young father-in-law Li Jinglong's five fat pigs.

Sure enough, we have to follow Wang Buli so that the brothers can have meat to eat.

There was still wine to drink today.

Except for the patrol inspector Liu Youjiang who was beaten, everyone ate and drank happily.

As far as these prices are concerned in the early Ming Dynasty, how much can we spend on food and drink without women's tickets or gambling?

The wine everyone drank was not good, but Wang Dianshi said it was enough.

Wang Buli held a coarse porcelain bowl in his hand. After drinking it in one gulp, he wiped his mouth:

"Okay, okay, you leave two jars of wine for Zhongtou, otherwise you will lose your reward and where can you drink from now on?"

"Who dares to come to our county government office to steal money?"

"That's impossible to say." Wang Buli put the black porcelain bowl in his hand on the makeshift wooden table: "It's inevitable that some people will be brave enough to risk their lives."

"Fourth Master is right, we have to keep people awake. With so much money, I have to turn an eye open in the middle of the night."

"Hahaha."

Zhong Niu very responsibly refused to drink more, so he drank a bowl of turbid wine.

If everyone is drunk and drunk today, it is inevitable that some people will have their thoughts.

Money is really easy to move people's hearts.

This is equivalent to three hundred and fifty taels.

A seventh-grade county magistrate’s salary is almost three years!

It's really not a small amount.

Wang Buli entrusted him with such an important task, how could Zhong Niu do it?

Tonight, Wang Buli simply didn't go home and slept directly in the office.

Of course, everything Wang Buli did was reported back to the palace in detail.

Zhu Yuanzhang was in a good mood today. After he learned that He Wenhui would not die, he breathed a long sigh of relief.

These adopted sons of ours are really going to die one by one.

Zhu Yuanzhang also had great trust in these adopted sons.

Moreover, their original surnames were restored, and legally they no longer had the legitimacy to succeed to the throne. Most of them had been trained since childhood and were loyal to him wholeheartedly.

Only by using these people can Zhu Yuanzhang be satisfied!

"The new official has taken office."

Prince Zhu Biao looked at the description of Wang Buli and raised the corner of his mouth:

“Dad, I’m afraid your son-in-law is not an economical person.

On the first day he took office, he publicly won people's support and even killed the chickens to scare the monkeys.

His methods of controlling people are so sophisticated, but he's not bad at all. "

"If you go to the grassroots county government and work as an official for two or three years, and you are designated to be better at controlling people than him, then this kid is not ruthless enough after all."

Zhu Yuanzhang's impression of petty officials has never changed.

Wang Buli was the best among those officials, so he naturally knew all the tricks.

If Wang Buli had no means, Zhu Yuanzhang would really look down on him just because of the opportunity to enter the fairyland.

Otherwise, if he has no ability at all, why would he have such a great opportunity?

This will make Zhu Yuanzhang feel frustrated.

Zhu Biao strongly disagreed with his father's words. In fact, he was not a ruthless person.

Otherwise, the ministers would not be looking forward to taking over his father's position day and night.

After all, Chinese people are not used to lifting roofs but opening windows.

After allowing Zhu Yuanzhang to continue his work, the officials below should have the idea of ​​​​escape from officialdom.

Whoever wants to do this official job, I won’t serve him anymore!

Unfortunately, they met Zhu Yuanzhang.

You don’t want to be fucked by me, and I won’t let you go until you pretend to be crazy and act like a fool and eat shit for more than ten years.

Otherwise, if you find a way to resign, remember, we will definitely not get any good results from you!

"Dad, I remember Wang Buli was quite ruthless before he became an official."

"No, he is just fierce on the outside, we are talking about his inside."

Zhu Yuanzhang had been hanging out on the streets for a long time, and people like Wang Buli showed ruthlessness. As long as you bow your head and surrender, he will not pursue it.

It's hard for this kind of person to kill everyone. He can't do it.

That's why Zhu Yuanzhang thought that Wang Buli was not a ruthless person at all.

Zhu Yuanzhang has never done anything like killing prisoners!

"Dad, you can achieve great results only if you are not ruthless."

Zhu Biao didn't agree with his father's words in everything: "Only in this way can Wang Buli keep the common people in his heart."

Zhu Yuanzhang felt that the famous teacher he found for Zhu Biao had instilled in him the idea of ​​loving the people over the years.

Today, Zhu Biao is high-spirited, and his first consideration is to protect the people, rather than ensuring that the Zhu family's legacy will last forever.

Therefore, sometimes father and son will quarrel because of their differences in governing ideas.

At present, there is only one emperor's position, but there are two heads. It is impossible for the two sides to have differences in thinking.

"He is not pretending to be a common people, but he just wants to give money to those who cannot receive royal salaries." "This is also a manifestation of pretending to be common people." Zhu Biao still expressed his opinion:

“This can also effectively avoid the opportunity for subordinate officials to harm the people.”

"No, you don't understand. Those officials will never be satisfied."

"Dad, I know." Zhu Biao spread his hands and said with a smile:

"But I don't believe that Wang Buli will do anything with only rewards but no punishment. He does things very safely."

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't answer the question. He also wanted to see what Wang Buli's bullshit model prison would look like.

"By the way, you can talk to him about the inn matter when you have a chance. We always feel that there are some loopholes."

"Okay, after I visit Brother Wenhui tomorrow, I will go to the county government office again. This is my first time going to Wang Buli's place."

"Ah."

Zhu Yuanzhang said nothing more.

Accommodation is available in the county government office. Those strong-duty police officers do not go home every day. There is always someone on duty at night.

The inspection envoy left the county government office early in the morning after talking to Jiang Huan.

After all, they didn't dare to ask people to open the city gate and leave the city after the curfew.

After Chi Wu left the city gate, he asked: "Old Liu, have you ever offended the Fourth Master?"

"Never."

Liu Youjiang's mouth was swollen. The pain was so painful that he couldn't sleep at night and couldn't speak clearly.

"I heard that Fourth Master Wang's family runs a medical clinic, and his father must be able to buy medicinal materials.

One of the big items in the town you control is the trading of medicinal materials, and I'm afraid you've already offended someone.

How else could he have trouble with you alone? "

The rest of the people also nodded. On weekdays, everyone kept in harmony with each other. During Song Dianshi's promotion banquet, everyone drank and had fun with each other.

Why did you suddenly go crazy?

We've just eaten your way, Lao Liu.

When they were drinking last night, they asked about Wang Buli's personality.

He is kind to people and solves most of the cases for the people. They have also heard of Wang Bansheng.

It's raining in Jiangning County again, which is quite interesting for the brothers under my command.

Not to mention that he is still the prince-in-law of the dynasty, and the person he is marrying is the emperor's eldest daughter, and his future is boundless.

How could he target a low-level person for no reason?

You must have offended him first.

When Liu Youjiang heard this, he couldn't help but murmur in his heart.

He has offended many medicinal merchants.

Who knows if it’s Wang Buli’s father inside.

Especially the people under his command do a lot of shameless things in order to make money.

Zhu Yuanzhang strictly controlled the gangsters, but these people suddenly sneaked into the Inspection Department and became the gangsters of the government.

"Hard to say."

Liu Youjiang only felt unlucky.

"Be careful in the future and restrain the people under you, otherwise you will be punished."

Gu Xing snorted, raised his whip and hurried on.

The more I thought about what happened yesterday, the angrier I became, but after asking for a long time, I realized that I was in a bad situation, and it was really unlucky.

"The relationship is over. Think about how to solve it. Go and apologize to the fourth master." Chi Wu patted him on the shoulder and consoled him.

Hearing this, Liu Youjiang looked very ugly: "We have been dealt with. He is not married yet. I have to find someone to make peace for him."

"Hey, it's impossible." Chi Wu said again.

"Hmph, there are people above us." Liu Youjiang immediately rode away.

Chi Wu looked at the retreating figures and chuckled.

After Wang Buli woke up, he felt that the alcohol content of turbid wine was still higher than that of beer.

He thought about it while washing, and decided to send someone to Prince Yan's Mansion to deliver some bathing utensils, which could be regarded as benefiting the people below.

This not only makes it convenient for you to take a bath, but also allows them to take a bath as much as possible.

Avoid spreading germs and catching a cold.

When living in Ming Dynasty, you can’t just keep yourself clean, but you also have to keep the environment in which you live as clean as possible.

Let’s not talk about Wang Buli’s relationship with King Yan, not to mention that he is still the prince-in-law.

After the people from Prince Yan's Mansion reported to Princess Yan, they immediately took people to the store to pick up the goods and sent them to Jiangning County Government.

Several simple bathrooms have been built, and the toilets have also been renovated. These days, I go to the toilet at the county government office.

With yesterday's incident in the inspection department, the post chiefs from the six post stations came to Wang Buli early in the morning to report on the work of the post stations, covering the four directions of the county.

China's postal service has always been developing, and most of it inherited the route of the previous dynasty, because the migration of the population determined the distribution of post stations.

It is now difficult for the Ming Dynasty to set up post stations in the mountains.

As for the Huitong Pavilion in the capital, as the first hotel in the world and a high-end national hotel, it is responsible for entertaining foreign envoys and officials and special missions from various places on official business. Although it is also under the jurisdiction of Jiangning County, it is under the direct control of the Ministry of Rites.

There are only sixty people in this guild hall, less than fifty horses, and about thirty donkeys.

Wang Buli, a small historian, couldn't get involved yet. The people standing in front of him were all the inns arranged outside the city.

The atmosphere today was much better than yesterday. Wang Buli asked them to sit down and asked if anyone had bullied them recently and dared to use the post horses privately.

There are quite a lot of illegal and criminal things under the emperor's feet.

Several Yicheng quickly said no, at least around the capital, everyone still obeyed the rules.

"Is there any damage to the horses or boats? Do they need to be replenished?"

After listening to Wang Buli's inquiry, some people began to request for more horses and ships, because the horses were indeed lame in one leg and were not conducive to the attack.

"Okay, you bring the lame horse to the county government, and then write an application. I will find a way to report it to the Ministry of War and buy you a replacement. As for the damaged ship, I will go to the workshop and send someone to find a shipwright to take a look. Look, wait until he comes back before making a decision."

"Thank you, Fourth Master."

Everyone was extremely satisfied with Wang Buli's willingness to solve their difficulties.

"Okay, stay for lunch today. I still have some wine and food from yesterday. Next time, you can report to me with your account books at the beginning of each month.

If you do well, you will be rewarded. If you do not do well, I will have ways to punish you. We are all on errands for the emperor. As long as the errands are done properly, I won't bother to bother with the rest. Do you understand? "

"clear."

After the postmen bowed to Wang Buli, they went to rest.

As the county's public security chief, Wang Buli felt that he had too many things to do, and he had to devote more time to dealing with these chores than in the execution room.

The minimum standard is not to be coaxed by the people below.

Just when Wang Buli was pinching his forehead and thinking deeply, Jiang Huan ran in and whispered in Wang Buli's ear:

"Fourth Master, there is a man outside who claims to be in charge of Cha Si Qian's affairs. He wants to see you. This is a badge of honor. He also told you not to make any noise."

Of course Jiang Huan recognized the prince Zhu Biao, but he couldn't say that he knew him at this time. He just handed the prince's waist badge to Wang Buli to see.

Wang Buli took the badge and saw it was Zhu Biao's badge.

The Zhengwupinjianchasi Qianshi he mentioned was a subordinate to the chief official in charge of the judiciary of a province.

"Please come in."

Wang Buli didn't know what Zhu Biao meant, but with his current status as Prince Consort, no one dared to pretend to be the prince in front of him.

When Zhu Biao walked in wearing a full-fledged official uniform, he also put a beard on his face to avoid being noticed because he was too tender.

Wang Buli saw that Zhu Biao was really here, so he invited him to rest in the inner room.

In fact, he himself is willing to stay in the hall. It can be said that it is ventilated from all sides and is extremely cool in summer, but he suffers from old problems in winter.

"Brother Prince, how do you think you are free today?"

"Look at Brother Wenhui's body. Didn't your father go for a follow-up visit today?"

"Ah, yes, yes."

Wang Buli remembered that he didn't go home last night, so someone from He's house should have picked him up.

"What happened to He Qian?"

"Your father said that he is in good health and well taken care of by his family. His wounds are not suffering from heat poisoning. He just needs to starve for two more days, and then drink a limited amount of minced meat and egg porridge every day for seven days. Your father said Come back for follow-up consultation to ensure the next stage of treatment.”

When Zhu Biao said this, he himself breathed a sigh of relief.

In this way, there is a cure for intestinal carbuncle, and people no longer have to wait to die.

"Your father's medical skills are really extraordinary." Zhu Biao praised with a smile.

"Hey, my dad is just lucky. If he had other diseases, he might not be able to do it."

Wang Buli still has to make up for his father:

"For any other disease, my father might not be able to be cured as well as the imperial physician.

How could a country man survive in the troubled times of the late Yuan Dynasty if he didn't have any skills? "

"Too."

Zhu Biao understood what Wang Buli meant, so that he would not have to go to his father for treatment for any disease in the future.

There are some diseases that even his father cannot cure.

"Brother-in-law, you have taken up your new position, but what trouble have you encountered?"
