Lu Qian was depressed. For the next two days, he hid in the station without even leaving.
The thousand ghosts summoned by Ah Hu have gathered.
Lu Qian officially activated the intelligence network set up by small traders, and a large amount of information was continuously sent to Lu Qian every day.
Lu Qian's intelligence network is not just about hanging out in the streets.
Those humble traders, within a few years, they got married and started a business, they gave birth to children, and some of their relatives went into other industries to make a living, and some of them went into the courtyard of the house to work as servants and grooms.
, craftsman, concierge, etc.
Relatives who make a roundabout way, occasionally visit relatives, drink and chat, a lot of news will be revealed inadvertently.
Therefore, after Lu Qian officially launched this large network, the information he received was unusually rich and mixed.
However, in the past two days, the news that annoyed Lu Qian the most was about the "new national thief" "Lu Qian" himself.
Maybe it was Bai Changkong's instruction.
Perhaps he was even directly behind the scenes.
There are scholars all over Haojing, and even in those rural towns of seventh and eighth grades, shaking their heads and spreading the bad reputation of "Lu Qian, the national thief".
Before, Bai Changkong and the cultural and educational disciples praised Lu Qian's power, but now they used a hundred times more energy to pour dirt on Lu Qian at all costs.
Dayin was founded for more than 1,800 years, and perhaps Lu Qian was the bastard who became "notorious" and then "infamous" at the fastest speed in history.
The only thing that interested Lu Qian was the official information from the palace supervisor's official document.
Because of the attack on the Yushunfang Survey Department's station the day before yesterday, Yu Changle, the supervisor, accepted Lu Qian's suggestion and personally presided over the attack. He even mobilized the eunuchs from the inner court of the palace guard headquarters and the imperial army from Jiuquyuan to attack all the sixth-rank officials in Haojing.
A comprehensive and thorough inspection was conducted on the coffin shops in Shangfang City.
Yu Changle issued a strict order, and the palace guard's thorough investigation methods were somewhat bloody, which even led to the impeachment of Yushitai.
However, Yushitai's impeachment soon became so feeble in the face of the evidence collected.
In two days, the palace guards raided and inspected thousands of coffin shops. As a result, everyone in the Dayin court was horrified to discover that among the thousands of large and small coffin shops, there were actually about 60% coffin shops.
Everyone, including the shopkeeper, waiters, craftsmen, handymen, etc., are all followers of the Jiuyin Sect!
A coffin shop requires a lot of manpower. A small coffin shop requires more than a dozen waiters, workers and handymen, while those high-end and large-scale coffin shops require hundreds of people.
Thousands of coffin shops controlled by the Jiuyin Sect can house millions of people!
These followers of the Jiuyin Sect were as if they were suffering from rabies. When some of them came to the door of the palace guard, they brazenly launched a crazy, desperate, and fatal counterattack.
There are also some followers of the Jiuyin Sect who are extremely proactive. Before the palace guards came to conduct a thorough investigation, they gathered manpower and took the initiative to attack Lu Qian's residence.
The yamen, the garrison barracks, the residences of dignitaries, etc. launched an attack.
The palace guard let go and killed.
There are not many masters of Jiuyin Sect.
Therefore, in a little more than two days, the palace guards killed everyone, and blood flowed like a river, causing chaos throughout Haojing City.
The two slogans "The Ghost Mother Comes to the World" and "Transfer My Remnant Soul" resounded throughout Haojing in the past two days. Countless officials and people had a profound understanding of these two slogans.
In the past two days, Lu Qian's survey department has been quiet.
The two coffin shops in his jurisdiction had taken the initiative to attack him the day before yesterday, and they were beaten to death and arrested. His area was actually very clean.
But through the information sent back by the palace guard, Lu Qian could imagine the bloody storm in Haojing City in the past two days!
One million people were killed. Even if they were divided equally among hundreds of cities of level six or above, thousands of followers of the Jiuyin Sect were killed on the spot in each city. One can imagine how brutal this scene was.
"It's true... they worship the ghost mother, so they want to die."
Lu Qian threw a piece of information into the brazier and watched as the thin, flexible paper was burned cleanly.
He whispered: "Hey, do they really regard those female ghosts in red as their ghost mothers? Are they so willing to sacrifice themselves for their ghost mothers?"
Looking at the young eunuch standing in the study with his hands hanging down, waiting for orders, Lu Qian waved to him: "Apply to the headquarters to see if you can give me a detailed file of the Jiuyin Sect, which is also the Ghost Mother Worship Sect.
?”
"This sect is interesting. Hey, there are so many coffin shops opened in Haojing City. Is it really profitable to sell coffins?"
The little eunuch respectfully left the study and closed the door behind his back.
Lu Qian shook his head, looked at the pile of scattered account books in front of him, sighed, wiped his fingers on an abacus, and continued to calculate abacus.
Ahu is enough to maintain the stability of Lu Qian's network of small traders. His size, force, and the small gang that has grown gradually over the years, which Lu Qian calls "Baihutang", are enough to maintain the stability of these small traders.
Fundamental interests.
However, after all, it is a network that developed from the bottom of Dayin City. Lu Qian is short of talents, extremely short of talents.
Knowledge, especially professional knowledge such as arithmetic, is in the hands of cultural and educational disciples. Those cultural and educational disciples who are too ambitious and arrogant, do you expect them to help Lu Qian manage this market snack network?
Therefore, there are some things that Lu Qian can only do by himself.
If Ahu were to do it, he would only make everything a mess.
Stinky tofu stalls have been distributed in nearly 700 cities, and each city has at least 100 stalls.
According to the rules set by Lu Qian, these stalls must hand over half of their profits every day. On average, each stall can turn over 100 cents to Lu Qian every day.
One stall costs 100 cents, which is not much.
This hundred cents is the net profit after deducting all costs, deducting all taxes, and deducting various fees paid to all gray forces.
There are 700 markets, with an average of at least 100 stalls in each market, totaling nearly 70,000 stalls. Each stall pays 100 coins per day, which is 7 million coins. Even the copper coins of the worst quality have always been
One thousand five hundred wen, which is also a huge sum of nearly five thousand guan.
Five thousand guan a day, nearly two million guan in income a year.
This is just a stinky tofu stall.
There are also soybean milk stalls, bean juice stalls, dandan noodles, small wontons, large dumplings, roujiamo, grilled buns, mutton skewers, fish egg stalls, etc. There are more than 20 different kinds.
Among these types of stalls, because some categories are more in line with the daily appetite of Dayin people, their income is several times higher than that of stinky tofu stalls. For example, there are wonton stalls and dumpling stalls. Many people may not like stinky tofu.
It smells bad, but who can say no to wontons and dumplings?
Every year, in the first few days of each quarter, when Lu Qian tallies up the total revenue of the previous quarter, he gets a headache that makes him want to die!
Therefore, Lu Qian’s account of this huge network of small vendors is ultimately a muddled account, and there is generally nothing wrong with it.
What made Lu Qi even more troubled was that he had accumulated too many copper coins over the years. It was very difficult, so he very carefully exchanged a small amount of gold and silver, and exchanged a small amount of other high-value hedging items for storage.
Even so, there are too many copper coins accumulated in the money banks secretly maintained by Baihutang.
The money banks that were full were like big bombs. When Lu Qian thought about those money banks, his scalp felt numb and he could not sleep peacefully.
"We have to find a way to gradually clean up the money. At least it can be spent openly and openly..." Lu Qian murmured to himself: "But it is really difficult. My official position is still too small...
Wow, this deal should have been abandoned a long time ago, it has snowballed too much."
"But, with so many guys eating with me and earning so much money every year... I can't bear to part with it!"
"I, Lu Qian, am still a common person after all!"
After working hard for more than two hours, Lu Qian barely managed to get the general ledger summed up by dozens of halls to a close. Lu Qian wrote down a large number of words in the general ledger using words that the people of Dayin would never recognize.
Figures, and threw the ledger books handed in at the hall into the brazier and burned them clean.
“Absolutely not bad.”
Lu Qian sighed: "If the Bai family knew that I was actually an invisible rich man... no, no, no, in that case, I would probably die faster."
There were soft footsteps outside.
Judging by the strength and speed of his steps, he knew that the person coming must be a eunuch.
And that unfamiliar sound of footsteps was not one of the twenty little eunuchs beside Lu Qian.
Lu Qian put away the account book, stood up, opened the door, and walked out.
Several young eunuchs around Lu Qian were walking over, surrounded by a young eunuch in purple robe. Seeing Lu Qian, the young eunuch in purple robe hurriedly saluted Lu Qian: "Oh, Master Lu, congratulations."
, Congratulations, the supervisor has been full of praise for you in the past two days, and he will praise you ten or eight times a day."
"But thanks to your suggestion, we have thoroughly investigated the coffin shop in Haojing City in the past two days, arrested and killed countless demons, and seized a lot of money. Hehe, the seizure is very rich."
"Just wait to hear the good news. In the past few days, the emperor will definitely have some grace. You have made a great contribution this time."
"But that's not why I came to see you today."
The little eunuch looked up at the sky and said hurriedly: "Come on, we're almost done now. Hurry up and follow us into the palace. Hey, there's still a long way to go."
"Enter the palace?" Lu Qian looked at the sky. It was already evening, and it would be completely dark soon.
"Come here, prepare your horses, me and..."
Lu Qian immediately gave an order.
The little eunuch in purple robe said hurriedly: "Hey, don't worry, how can we catch up on horseback? Let's just fly over."
The little eunuch's eyes quickly circled around Lu Qian, and he praised sincerely: "Hey, Mr. Lu is so mighty and powerful, that guy is going to have to endure hardships today!"
Following the admiration of the little eunuch, the sound of flapping wings came from high in the sky. A huge white crane and a large vulture three or four times larger than the white crane whipped up a strong wind and fell straight down.
Lu Qian's face turned dark when he looked at the extremely ugly vulture, with no hair on its four-foot-long neck and a red tumor on its bald head.
