Jinchuan Island makes use of the swallow-tail-shaped rocky fill at the southern end of the island and uses it as a wharf. The people on Prison Island call these Yanweiji Pier. The Yanweiji Pier is very small and can barely accommodate a government ship with a capacity of 500 stone.
, the official ship painted dark red was parked at the pier, and four warning boats had already sailed out as usual, driving away the fishing boats and merchant ships in the waterway and blocking the waterway.
Early the next morning, before getting on the boat, Gu Wuchen stood on the rock and looked around. The south bank was very close, the water was only about a mile wide, the vegetation on the river bank, the fishing boats and merchant ships past the left and right cordon were all visible, and there were even many
Villagers were attracted to the river embankment to watch the excitement; looking beyond Prison Island, to the north was the vast sky, looking at the blue-black ridges and shorelines extending intermittently across the sky.
Lin Fu stood beside Gu Wuchen. He didn't know how Gu Wuchen felt when he looked around. Did he feel that there was a long way to go to Jiangning? Lin Fu looked in the direction of the Jinchuan River mouth from time to time. Gu Wuchen agreed to expand Yanweiji.
The wharf and the deep water channel extend to both sides, so that the wharf can berth two to three thousand-stone or even larger river ships. It is also agreed to build a wharf on the other side of the river, at the mouth of Jinchuan River, to connect with Prison Island, but the money required is very high.
I had to think of a way to do it myself, but the Inspector-General could not allocate a single tael of silver, and it was hard to imagine that the Xuanfu Commissioner would agree to allocate this special amount of silver.
Lin Fu only needed to take the title of Chief Inspector. Even though Lin Jingzhong still had six or seven thousand taels of silver in his hands and couldn't accomplish much, he could still get by for a while.
Yang Pu followed Gu Wuchen back to the city by boat and straightened his son Yang Shi's brown leather armor. Seeing Lin Fu and Gu Wuchen standing aside, he patted his son on the shoulder and said, "No more than when you are with me, on Prison Island.
Watch more and learn less, talk less and ask questions less..." Yang Pu has known Lin Fu for nearly three months and knows that this person has talents, means, and ambition. He believes that Gu Wuchen is fully capable of controlling Lin Fu's ambition at this time, but
He was worried that his son would not know what to do on the prison island, so he gave a special reminder. When he was exiled to the army with Gu Wuchen, he took Yang Shi with him since childhood. Gu Wuchen also treated Yang Shi as his nephew. Even if Yang Shi had any faults, Gu Wuchen
He can also be tolerant, but it might not be possible if it were Lin Fu.
"My child remembers it in my heart," Yang Shi said.
"That's good..." Yang Pu watched Gu Wuchen board the official ship, and he followed.
Lin Fu stood in front of the Yanweiji Pier, watching the official ship Gu Wuchen was riding enter the Jinchuan River mouth and be obscured by the river bank. Only the towering mainmast could still be seen.
Compared with the crowds at Yanweiji Pier yesterday, today only a few people came to the Pier with Lin Fu to see Gu Wuchen off the island.
*****
Gu Wuchen left by boat and returned to the city. Zhou Shide, Jiang Jin, Cao Shang and other nearly 30 prisoners were escorted back to the city to await trial. They blackmailed the prisoners for money, and after being imprisoned in the city's prison, they would also enjoy the benefits they once had inflicted on them.
The other one hundred and fifty soldiers were not punished on the grounds of coercion, but they were all disarmed and transferred back by boat for another treatment. Gu Wuchen definitely would not leave these troubles to Lin Fu to digest.
.
Sun Geng, the secretary-general of Dalao, was promoted to the "second-class outsider" because he was law-abiding and good at official affairs.
The officials of the Dai Viet Dynasty were divided into nine ranks, and each rank was divided into a subordinate and a subordinate, with a total of 18 levels. Lin Fu was appointed as the jailer of Jiangdao Prison, and he was a ninth-rank official, which can be said to be the last level of the official.
In addition to Liuwai officials, the Dai Viet Dynasty also had Liuwai officials, usually called officials, who were divided into nine levels, with Liuwai first class being the highest.
People who come into society become officials, and those who leave outside become officials. Ordinary people don’t know the difference between officials and officials. Take an example from a thousand years later. These officials are party and government leaders at all levels, and these officials are ordinary civil servants. Although officials and officials are both
It is beyond the reach of ordinary people, but there is a world of difference between officials and officials.
In the Dai Viet Dynasty, only those who entered the ranks and became officials could have a regular salary, and they were considered to be important people who really enjoyed the royal family. There were rules for the annual salary, and the local government could not deduct it. It would only increase the benefits. They had the power and power to do things, even if it didn't work.
The prison chief also manages the local prison. No matter how bad the county lieutenant, county magistrate, or county chief registrar are, they are also the main officials of a county. No matter how bad the inspection department is, they are also the top leaders of the township.
Changsun Geng was promoted to the "Second Class Liuwai" secretary of the prison, and he was only two steps away from becoming an official. It was only these two steps away. Changsun Geng was born as a scholar and had no chance or a powerful backer for half his life.
Can't even get past it.
In addition to Chang Sun Geng, there were two other team leaders who were not implicated in this prison clearance. One was named Shi and the other was Mao. These two people were not involved in the case, but they were not clean and self-sufficient, and they had strong perseverance. Moreover, they had a close relationship with Zhou Shide, the book clerk.
Because of deep personal conflicts, they were rejected together.
Since they were not involved in the case, they were naturally promoted and retained. After the prison clearance, they would probably cherish this job even more. Nearly twenty officers under the two squad leaders Shi and Mao were naturally retained.
In the past, the officers and squad leaders arranged for the prison to be full. In fact, after the prison city proposal was rejected, the number of prisoners on the prison island has always been between two and three hundred, which is far from the level of a full prison. It’s just that
The yamen has always been staffed by people who can only go in and out. The officers, squad leaders, and officials are fully equipped. If the number of officials has to be reduced due to the insufficient number of prisoners in prison, it will be extremely difficult for the officers. It has been maintained like this for ** years.
At this time, four squad leaders were arrested and brought to justice, and the forty officers involved in the case were also transferred out of the island for separate disposal. Only two squad leaders were left to lead twenty officers to work on the prison island. For the time being, it was not felt that there was not enough manpower; in addition,
Yang Shi led 60 soldiers to guard the prison island.
Gu Wuchen talked with Lin Fu all night. In addition to accepting various suggestions put forward by Lin Fu, he also promised him a privilege, that is, the number of officials and soldiers on Prison Island will not be reduced or increased for the time being, and the inspectorate will not send new ones.
When people come to the island, the vacancies created by the prison clearance will be left to Lin Fu's disposal.
According to the annual amount of money that the Inspectorate can spend, there is a quota, and almost every penny has a use. If he wants to squeeze out an extra thousand taels of silver every year to allocate to Prison Island, it involves too much, so Gu Wuchen acquiesces to Lin Fu to eat part of the quota;
On the other hand, Lin Fu wanted to carry out drastic reforms on Prison Island. He couldn't do it without the manpower he wanted to call upon. Gu Wuchen also acquiesced to Lin Fu's recruitment of manpower on Prison Island.
In addition, Gu Wuchen also agreed to Lin Fu to transfer Zhao Hu to a military position, starting with the lowest military officer.
****
After Gu Wuchen left, Lin Fu generals Sun Geng, Yang Shi and Shi and Mao came to the front hall of the Prison Department. He smiled and asked everyone to sit down in front of his case and said: "Everyone will be here from now on."
We will be in the same boat on Prison Island. If something goes wrong on Prison Island, the Inspector General will be the first to accuse me, but you don’t want to get away from it. If Prison Island is managed well, it will be appreciated by the top.
Don’t worry that I will forget about my benefits. Now that we have fewer people, will you feel it’s hard..."
Changsun Geng, Shi, and Mao, the two squad leaders, were still worried. Who would have thought that after the prison island was cleared in just one night, only one-tenth of the original officers and men were left. Lin Fu had always been kind to them these days.
, at this time, I deeply realized that Lin Fu's pleasant appearance had murderous intent behind it, and he said hurriedly: "I will work tirelessly to serve you, sir..."
"Don't say goodbye. There is one less clerk and four less leaders. In the future, the burden on each of you will be more than twice as heavy as before. I know it very well," Lin Fu said.
There is also a shortage of manpower over there. The shortage of manpower on Prison Island must be solved slowly. If the burden on you is heavier, then it will be heavier. However, each person's labor and food money will be increased by 50% on the original basis. I can make the decision...
…but!"
Changsun Geng was overjoyed when he heard that the wages for work and food would be increased by 50%. Changsun Geng was a clerk and an official. If he did not want to extort prisoners or their families, his only source of income was money for work and food. He knew that the island
The manpower will not be increased for the time being, but the Inspectorate will not reduce the number of officials here. In this way, Prison Island will be able to get more than a thousand taels of free money every year, but how to use this free money?
It all depends on Lin Fu. Even if Lin Fu wants to take the empty quota for himself, they can only watch helplessly. At this time, Lin Fu promised to increase everyone's salary by 50%, and they were naturally happy. However, Lin Fu's words
Saying the word "but" suddenly gave him a hint of murderous intent. Changsun Geng felt a chill in his heart when he heard this. He raised his head and glanced at Lin Fu. His brows were slightly raised, and his face was a bit more stern. After getting along with him for the past few days,
, especially after being released from prison yesterday, he no longer dared to be indifferent to this new young boss.
Lin Fu's voice became a little stern and he continued: "...If I knew which of you lynched and tortured prisoners, extorted money and feared the rules in prison, I would send you to prison to enjoy the taste of being lynched and extorted. Below are the officers
, military soldiers, each person's salary, food and wages will be increased by 30% on the original basis. Please explain what I have said to them seriously and seriously. If there is a problem with any of your subordinates, you will be the first to be held accountable.
Responsibilities! Have you remembered them all?”
"Remember." Changsun Geng, Yang Shi and the two team leaders, Li and Mao, all responded immediately.
"That's good," Lin Fu put his hands on the case and said to Chang Sun Geng, "Yang Dianwei has just come to the prison island, and his soldiers have also just come to guard the prison. The prison island, the prison room and the key points of guarding and defense.
, You explain to him in detail today; I will go to the south bank before noon. If there is any emergency on this island, Zhang Sun Shu will come and deal with it randomly..." Then he said to Yang Shi, "Zhao Hu has entered the military service and is in prison.
On the island, I’ll leave it to you first.”
After all, Yang Shi was not as experienced as his father. He knew in his heart that Zhao Hu was Lin Fu's confidant, and he should not send Zhao Hu directly. However, for a while, he couldn't think of how to do it more diplomatically, so he had to agree silently.
"Should we postpone the fishing for two days?" Changsun Geng asked.
"Why should we postpone it?" Lin Fu asked, "After I leave, during the fishing, you and Yang Dianwei will jointly supervise..." The ten prisoners who are fishing are strictly screened, and there will be no problems.
The other prisoners were all imprisoned within high walls. If it weren't for the fear of possible impact from the outside, the number of guards would have been doubled, with only thirty people able to take care of them.
