As an official of the imperial court, it is understandable that he receives benefits from local wealthy families and occasionally opens the door to facilitate them or speaks from their standpoint.
However, if the local wealthy family has made a move that threatens the overall interests of the officials and even the safety of the court, it will be difficult to distinguish the position of any official of the court who encourages and cheers for them.
There is no need for the court to retain such an official.
The movements of Wang Qinruo's hands were very light, but Lin Shiqi felt as if he had been hit head-on with a heavy stick. As his movements quickly became shorter and bent, cold sweat rolled out of his forehead.
"What Enxiang taught me, I must keep it in mind! Please Enxiang, please give me a chance to atone for my sins!" He didn't dare to make any more excuses. He bowed and begged, his attitude
Be as correct as possible.
"Forget the crime, I believe you won't go too far. Write a letter to Magistrate Yan first. Then, on my behalf, go inspect all the checkpoints from Qingzhou to Huainan!" Wang Qinruo smiled, put away his hand, and calmed down.
Xu walked around the room, "If anyone can't tell who he should be working for, he will be punished one by one. He will be severely punished and will never be tolerated!"
"Yes!" Lin Shiqi suddenly regained his composure, raised his hand to wipe away the cold sweat, and bowed his head to the ground.
"If you can't deal with it, or if the official position is too high, report it to me in time. I want to see if this Jingdong East Road is still the imperial court's world!" Wang Qinruo took a sword from the wall and slowly pulled it out of its sheath.
, in an instant, cold light shone everywhere.
"Yes!" Lin Shiqi bowed again and agreed resolutely and resoundingly.
As the saying goes, it is better to make mistakes than to make mistakes. Wang Qinruo understands the essence of this way.
He beat Lin Shiqi hard and then let him go. How dare the latter not use all his strength? In just half a month, he personally went through all the water and land checkpoints from Qingzhou to Huainan.
Everywhere he went, Lin Shiqi immediately summoned all officials to publicly convey Wang Qinruo's instructions to ensure the smooth flow of grain roads. He repeatedly emphasized that this was the unanimous position of the Economic Strategy and Appeasement Department, the Transshipment Department and the Crane Control Department, and all relevant people must be sure to do so.
Treat with caution.
Most of the people in charge and the petty officials at those checkpoints are human beings. They come to appease the envoy's confidants in person and come to convey the order in person. How can they not know what to do?
When seeing carriages or sleds transporting grain and coarse salt passing by, they are not allowed to pass on the spot. They are even exempted from normal inspections and tax collection, assuming that the latter are transporting air.
Of course, there is no shortage of bold people at any time.
Individual officials received the benefits of the five surnames of Yan, Yang, Zhu, and Zheng, or were originally born in one of the five surnames, and tried to do so. As a result, many dark tricks were quietly reported to them by their colleagues as soon as they were used.
Lin Shiqi.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Shiqi himself rushed back and the cronies sent by the transshipment envoy Ding Wei also arrived at night.
The two sides worked together to handle the case, and captured the person who deliberately delayed the clearance of the grain truck on the spot. Immediately afterwards, he was put into a prison car to prove the crime, and was taken to Qingzhou for investigation and processing by the Crane Control Bureau.
This time, the five major surnames and their followers were completely stunned.
Originally, someone was trying to secretly purchase part of the grain sold to the people at low prices by the transportation department and continue to push up the price of grain. When they found that Wang Qinruo was already standing behind Han Qing and moved the seal, he quickly stopped all actions.
, reconsider your next choice.
The panic among the people in Qingzhou and other places on Jingdong East Road gradually subsided when they discovered that there were shops designated by the government selling rice at a price of seventy cents per dou for several days.
Although the stores designated by the government set a limit of two buckets for each person who came to buy food, the rules were dead and the people were alive. The people queued up and finished their first purchase and gave the food to acquaintances to send back.
Home, and then re-number from the end of the queue, you can easily exceed the limit!
As a result, most people would rather brave the cold wind and queue up every day to buy the grain sold by the government than go to the shops of the five major surnames and endure high prices and exploitation. As a result, those shops that jointly raised prices quickly became empty.
As the second and third batches of grain successfully arrived in Qingzhou City, all the shops that were selling grain at high prices knew that the situation was over. They successively lowered the price of their old rice to about seventy cents.
Grain and coarse salt follow the same trade route. As soon as grain prices drop, salt prices plummet immediately.
As the price of grain and salt fell, other groceries that took advantage of the increase gradually returned to normal. A man-made crisis gradually dissipated.
By the beginning of February, the price of grain on the market in Qingzhou had dropped to about fifty-five cents per bucket. It was five cents lower than before the sharp rise at the end of the year.
It was discovered that there were no customers in the store designated by the forwarding department. The forwarding officer Ding Wei had an idea and simply ordered his subordinates to turn around and buy the remaining grain in bulk at a price of fifty coins.
As a result, the out-of-town traders who subsequently shipped grain to Jingdong East Road were worried that grain prices would continue to drop and were eager to get cash. They sent the grain to the entrance of the transfer department's warehouse one after another.
After some operations, the Changping position under the forwarding company not only did not become empty, but made up all the previous shortfalls. And between selling and buying, the forwarding company itself also made a lot of money. Ding said that the big hand made a lot of money.
As a result, every subordinate official received a sum of extra money.
Although the extra money distributed to each person is not much, it is only one or two ounces of money. However, for most officials in the transportation department, being able to receive money other than their salary without committing corruption or accepting bribes is a big deal.
But this is the first time in my life.
Drinking water and remembering the source, the officials' respect and admiration for the transshipment envoy Ding Wei increased day by day, making the latter's reputation soar.
But Ding Wei himself knew who created the conditions for him to accumulate reputation, and his relationship with Han Qing became increasingly close. Some officialdom issues that Han Qing was not good at handling, he just gave a few words of advice, and the problems were solved.
As a result, Han Qing owed Ding Wei a lot of favors. The two parties seemed to have become friends for many years.
Ding said that there were some trivial matters involving figures and accounts that made him dizzy. When presented to Han Qing, he could sort them out clearly in less than a quarter of an hour.
Han Qing himself lacked experience in some trivial matters involving officialdom rules and worldly ways. Asking Ding Wei for advice, the latter could make him suddenly enlightened in a few words.
As the relationship becomes closer, the two parties will have less and less scruples when interacting with each other.
As an experienced person, Ding Wei saw that Han Qing was still putting most of his energy into sorting out the local remains and various case files left over from previous years, so he couldn't help but remind him, "Jiajun, don't blame me for being troublesome.
The official sent you to Qingzhou in the hope that you would continue to work hard to uproot the Chunyang Sect as soon as possible, just like you did with the Red Lotus Sect. It has been a while since you took office, so you are either busy dealing with the powerful Yan family, or you can focus on
While sorting out the past suspicious cases, there has been no action on serious matters. If the officials come to ask questions one day, they will inevitably be disappointed with you!"
"Ding Shuzhi reminded me that he took me as his own. How could I not know what's good and what's good!" Han Qing heard this and immediately smiled and handed over his hands. "It's just that I was new here and had no idea about the surrounding situation, so I didn't dare to act rashly. Today, since
Ding Shuzhi brought it up, I just have something to do, and I would like to ask Ding Shuzhi to lend a helping hand."
Before coming to Qingzhou, Han Qing had not heard any positive comments about Ding Wei, either from Kou Zhun or his grandfather Han Chonggui. However, after getting along with him for more than two months, he found that this person was a rare person.
Talented. But he is very utilitarian and likes to show off in front of his boss.
Han Qing had seen a lot of such people in his previous life, so he couldn't say how to reject them. And because he was promoted too quickly last year, it was difficult for him to make further progress in a short period of time, no matter how much credit he made, so he followed
Ding said there would be no conflict of interest.
Since there is no conflict of interest between the two parties, and Ding Wei is still a rare person who can do practical things in the officialdom of the Song Dynasty, Han Qing is willing to join forces with Ding Wei to do something.
In this way, both parties can get what they need, and the friendship between them can last longer.
"Ask me for help?" Ding Wei also wanted to become a political ally with Han Qing. Hearing him ask for his help, he immediately responded with a smile, "Tell me, how can I help you? I only need this
If we can do it, we will definitely do our best to provide convenience for you!”
"As early as years ago, I received news that there is a branch of the Chunyang Sect located in Baima Village, seventy miles away from Qingzhou." Han Qing was not polite and immediately added in a low voice, "Ding Shuzhi is also
You know, I only have about a hundred brothers here. If you take them out to beg thieves, they will look down on you. Therefore, I want to borrow two thousand grains from Ding Shu directly to strengthen my reputation."
Ding Wei glanced at Han Qing in surprise, and frowned quickly, "Borrow me a grain man? Two thousand men and horses, I can easily pull them out to you. It's just that the grain man does a decent job, but he has never been on the battlefield."
In addition, it stands to reason that since you know where the Chunyang Sect's lair is, you should ask Wang Jinglue to dispatch Xiang troops."
"They don't need to go into battle to kill the enemy. They just need to cheer and help block the intersection and catch the fleeing thieves. When it comes to the real fight, the hundred veterans of the Suppression Army under my command will be enough." Han Qing had already expected him.
Hui said this and explained in a low voice with a smile, "As for Wang Jinglue's side, there are many people with mixed eyes, and they have to comply with the rules at all times. By the time the Xiang army is summoned, the news will probably have already reached the ears of the thief."
After a pause, he squeezed his eyes, and his voice quickly became lower, "Moreover, in such a victorious and undefeated battle, how could Han help the generals of the Xiang Army? Ding Shuzhi was both civil and military, and he was in Kuizhou
He led his troops to defeat the rebels. With you sitting by his side, Han can do whatever he wants!" (Note: In the early Song Dynasty, the gap between civil and military officials was not as obvious as it was later. Ding said that when he was a state-level transport envoy,
He once commanded the troops to put down the rebellion.)
