Chapter 601: Pretending to be my name to commit crimes?
After getting a positive reply from An Daoquan, Li Yan had a rough plan in mind.
Don't think this is making a fuss. In the past half a year or so, the shopkeepers of Sui'an Medical Center have stolen about 3,000 yuan, which is quite a lot of money.
In the original plot, Lin Chong spent a thousand guan to buy a sword, and Wu Song was rewarded a thousand guan for killing a tiger. If this value corresponds to real history, it is actually an exaggeration. The so-called Wan Guan family wealth is already an extremely rich family, and three thousand guan
What was the concept of money in the Song Dynasty?
To give the most intuitive example, officials’ salaries.
The Song Dynasty paid great attention to high-quality salaries to support integrity. Officials' salaries were not only paid, but also divided into two categories: "please receive" and "add to give". The former included money for materials, gifts of clothing, and grain, while the latter included money for personal clothing and food, and new charcoal.
, salt, horse feed, paper, tea and wine, kitchen ingredients, etc.
Foreign officials enjoy job titles and supplement their income through rent collection. Secondly, there is a lot of reimbursement money, such as the famous minister's money, as well as taxes and corvee exemptions for the officials' families, which are also equivalent to disguised income.
But even so, the real income of grassroots officials is very low.
During the Zhenzong period, a county captain's monthly salary was only five guans, and he lamented that he could not support his family at all. "Five guans and nine hundred and fifty stipends, please use the money you have saved. My wife and children are not tired of chaff, how can the servants be protected from hunger and cold"
"In the Shenzong Dynasty, Wang Anshi also mentioned that the monthly income of grassroots officials was as much as eight or nine guan, and as little as four or five guan.
Even for the prime minister, his monthly salary is about three hundred guan, which is only 3,600 guan a year.
So three thousand strings is really a lot.
Of course, under such circumstances, the grassroots took advantage of their power to commit corruption, and the middle and high-level officials had greater power. In addition, the Song Dynasty treated scholar-bureaucrats preferentially, and the law enforcement against corruption was very lax. The thunder was loud but the rain was small, and the most exaggerated thing is that the emperor directly
Make people corrupt.
For example, when Zhao Kuangyin took office, he told an official, "I heard that Aiqing's family is poor and he only needs what he needs, but he diverts official money to use it." When Zhenzong arrived, an official impeached his consort for corruption, and Zhenzong's edict was "
"Shi Bu Wen"; Someone in Shenzong Dynasty impeached Wen Yanbo for corruption and obtained evidence. Shenzong directly asked people to hand over the evidence.
This is still the Northern Song Dynasty, let alone the Southern Song Dynasty...
Anyway, in the Song Dynasty, the result of corruption was that "one in a thousand corrupt officials will be defeated. Fortunately, they are defeated, but they cannot be killed." Out of a thousand corrupt officials, not one may be caught. If the caught one is not killed, after a few
He may not be able to become an official again in the new year. In this case, the problem of corruption can only get worse.
Let's look at the "Stone Inscription" promulgated by Zhao Guangyi, "Er's salary and salary, the people anoint the people's fat, the people are easy to abuse, but God is hard to bully", it is really good, and then the people's anointing and fat are used for official banquets.
A meal can cost from 3,000 to 6,000 guan.
From this point of view, three thousand strings seems to be running out.
But Li Yan is not comparable to those corrupt officials. These three thousand guan are the income he earned from treating many people in the capital, and many of them were rich people who contributed 70 to 80% of the medicine money.
He would never hypocritically say that he was not interested in money. He was very interested in money. He also knew that no matter which dynasty, no money was inevitable. Therefore, not only should embezzlers be punished severely, but money should be used as much as possible.
Take it back.
But just like appointing and removing officials, if the emperor wants to remove an official, he must consider in advance who can replace him and achieve the same or even better work efficiency, rather than making a decision directly in a flash. Li Yan was thinking at this time
, and there is also the question of where to hire reliable new people after replacing these greedy shopkeepers and clerks.
Watching An Daoquan drink tea slowly and his mood stabilized, Li Yan said: "Do you still have contact with other doctors in the capital?"
An Daoquan nodded: "There is a connection. Brother, do you still remember the other doctors who were forcibly invited to the Prince's Mansion in Yongjia County? Several of them were also from the south. They have been in contact with me these days and discussed medical skills together.
."
Li Yan smiled: "This means that you have gradually integrated into the medical circle of the capital. After their recommendation, you can hire several qualified shopkeepers, and then recruit a group of clerks from Old Man Jiang."
An Daoquan hesitated for a moment and said: "If I want to hire people, I have thought of a group of people, but their identities are a bit inconvenient..."
Li Yanqi asked: "Who are they?"
An Daoquan whispered: "After General Hou's guild was sealed, many drug stores under his name were closed, and a large number of people were without wages. People came to ask for work before..."
Li Yan raised his eyebrows: "Houjiang Guild? Haven't they unblocked it?"
An Daoquan snorted: "It's true that the lockdown has been lifted, but those big merchants don't dare to stay in the capital at all. They all went out to avoid the limelight. Many shops are also closed, but they haven't been transferred yet, waiting for the news to pass."
Li Yan said coldly: "Those who colluded with Wuyoudong are the senior officials of the Chamber of Commerce. These people are rich and can avoid the limelight for a while. They can still live and drink. They just suffer from the people who have lost their jobs and are struggling to survive. Can they
Of course, if you want to help, you have to help."
An Daoquan nodded repeatedly: "That's exactly what I thought, so I decided to give priority to recruiting these people. They are experienced people. Replacing this group at the hospital will not have much impact and the handover can be smooth."
Li Yandao: "Not only the manpower of the medical center, but also many people can be arranged as much as possible. Has Tiexue Tower also reopened?"
An Daoquan said happily: "Originally, the lockdown was lifted, but except for those drunkards, the other people couldn't tolerate them. They blocked the door and cursed every day. In less than ten days, they had to close down again."
Speaking of this, he thought of one person: "Brother, among the women I take care of, one of them is also related to Tiexuelou..."
When Li Yan heard Nu Qi, he happened to ask: "It has been more than half a year since their injuries were treated. How are they doing now?"
An Daoquan has always taken this matter to heart: "After half a year of nursing, their bodies have finally recovered to the point where they can be like normal people."
Li Yan said happily: "That's good. Who did you just say is connected with Tie Xuelou?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! An Daoquan explained: "It was the 'Han Chunchun' who reunited with her family. This woman was also from the capital. She was kidnapped by the Wuyou Cave thieves. Because of her strong body
, and was sold to Xiang Ba and raised as a female. Now she is reunited with her family. It is also a blessing among misfortunes. Her brother Cao Zheng originally supplied meat to Tiexue Tower. After Tiexue Tower was sealed, he suffered a lot.
Quite an impact…”
Li Yan nodded silently: "So it's this person..."
"Han Chunchun" was the female slave who killed the slave Xiang Ba in the Happy Forest incident, which triggered a series of incidents. When Li Yan acquitted her, he learned that someone in her family was engaged in butchering. Unexpectedly,
She is Cao Zheng's sister.
Cao Zheng, a native of Bianjing, was born as a butcher in his ancestors. He was very good at killing pigs and skinning cattle, and was known as the "Swordsman". In the original plot, he once worshiped Lin Chong as his disciple, and later went to Shandong to do business for a rich man, but lost all his capital.
Unable to return to his hometown, he became his son-in-law in a farmer's house and opened his own hotel.
When the plot officially begins, the unlucky Yang Zhi loses his birth date and prepares to flee to Liangshan. On the way, he eats and drinks at Cao Zheng's hotel. He has no money to pay the bill and wants to leave without paying. Cao Zheng catches up and fights for more than 20 times before he realizes that he is the enemy.
It was Yang Zhi, the green-faced beast, who invited Yang Zhi back to the hotel, rearranged the food and drinks, and the two parties turned enemies into friends.
Cao Zheng also suggested that Yang Zhi go to Erlong Mountain to Luocao. He happened to meet Lu Zhishen and learned that the owner of Erlong Mountain was unwilling to accept foreigners. Cao Zheng came up with another strategy and successfully helped Lu Zhishen and Yang Zhi occupy Erlong Mountain, and then bid farewell to Erlong Mountain.
People, go back down the mountain and continue running the hotel.
It can be seen that this pig-killing son-in-law is not only loyal, but also witty.
An Daoquan also had a good impression of Cao Zheng: "This man has been talking about his kindness to his brother, but he also feels that his status is humble and refuses to meet him. However, he said that he has what he needs, and he will go up the mountain of swords and the sea of fire to repay his kindness."
Li Yandao: "Every time more dogs are slaughtered for justice, many people's livelihood is not so glamorous, but their hearts are full of love and righteousness. How can such a man be despicable?"
"well said!"
At this moment, a voice came from outside the medical center, and Ding Run walked in swaggeringly, stroking his hands and smiling: "What Mr. Lin said is admirable. If I were that dog-slaughterer, I would have lost my life just by these words."
Willing to sell it to you!"
Li Yan looked at Ding Run, who had gained weight and had a bigger head: "What kind of wind blew Judge Ding here today?"
Ding Run sat down and grinned: "It takes a strong wind to blow me, so I'll get straight to the point. Is Mr. Lin still willing to help the Kaifeng government office?"
Li Yan was a little surprised: "Listen to this, is there anyone who can't even make a decision for Judge Ding?"
Compared with Gongsun Zhao, who is obsessed with evidence and does not make unjust or false accusations, and at the same time treats the powerful and the common people equally, Ding Run has a different style. He relies entirely on his imperial intuition to judge good and bad. There are good people.
He turned a blind eye to those who killed evil thieves, and he was not polite when seeking benefits from people close to the powerful.
So compared to Gongsun Zhao, who had a cold face all day and never smiled, his face was red and he looked cheerful.
And with such an investigative method that doesn’t focus on evidence, what else can be difficult to do? If you can’t decide, you just rely on guessing!
Ding Run rubbed his chin: "To tell you the truth, I was really stumped this time. There was something weird, and it involved several important nobles of the day. I didn't want to get involved, but I couldn't let it go.
Kai, I really had no choice, so I came to Mr. Lin for help."
An Daoquan, who was listening in the audience, frowned: "Since this matter is dangerous, wouldn't you be hurting my brother if you come to see him?"
Ding Run sighed: "I am forced to have no choice. When the previous judge encountered difficulties, he came to ask for advice. I am definitely not good at cutting off eucalyptus, so I can only ask for help!"
He patted his chest again and promised: "If Mr. Lin is willing to help, I will be responsible for dealing with the people from the Imperial City Division who come to cause trouble. If the people from the Imperial City Division cause trouble again in the future, it will all be on my shoulders!"
Li Yanping said calmly: "That's not necessary. Judge Ding might as well explain the situation first. I'll listen first and have an idea."
The first words Ding Run said made him focus even more: "It is said that this incident was done by 'Zuo Ming'..."
