"As far as I know, the monthly salary of the brothers in the Jinyiwei Yamen is actually not high. An ordinary school captain earns three taels of silver a month, even if he is a thousand households, so the salary plus salary is only fifty taels a month. So, in order to give
When I send you this gift, you have already spent one or two months’ monthly salary. Zhang was very moved when he saw this gift list.”
Everyone thought: What's the use of talking about this? We don't want to, but what can we do? Of course you are moved, our money is in your pocket, but we have to live frugally.
"Everyone, Zhang is a new official, and he doesn't know much about some of the rules and things in our yamen. I'm not a meddlesome person, and I'm not here to work here to cause trouble, nor am I looking for trouble.
However, it seems that my ideas are about to change. Some rules need to be changed. For example, the rule that superiors have to give gifts when they take office. This is a naked act of exploiting brothers. If it is directed at outsiders, that's fine.
This is the hard-earned money of brothers, how can it be exploited? It is the money that brothers use to support their families, how can I want such money? I, Zhang Yanling, say that there is no shortage of money, even if a poor person is begging for food, he will not get it from the northwest.
My brothers were robbed of money, but they didn't make even a penny."
The officers and soldiers of the Jinyi Guards widened their eyes, thinking that they heard wrongly. The new governor actually said such words, which was completely unexpected. Shen Liang was also shocked to see Zhang Yanling in a daze. Zhang Yin and Zhang Qianhu originally looked indifferent.
At this moment, he also raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhang Yanling in a daze.
"So, everyone, you take all this money back. I, Zhang Yanling, won't accept even one tael. Shen Qianhu, Zhang Qianhu, you will be responsible for returning the money to the brothers in a few minutes. As for any subsequent gifts,
, naturally we have to stop collecting." Zhang Yanling said.
Shen Liang said hurriedly: "Sir, this is what the brothers want. If you don't accept it, won't the brothers feel regretful and guilty?"
Zhang Yanling frowned and shouted: "What are you talking about? Are you sorry? Guilty? Are you all cheap? You have to give money to others to be happy? Shen Qianhu, I don't believe this. If you are all rich people and have a lot of money, don't you?
You have to ask for it. You all work hard to earn money to support your family. I feel guilty for asking for this money. Needless to say, I will take all this money back in a while. Not only that, starting from today, this kind of behavior will be banned within the yamen.
According to the custom, it is forbidden to forcibly collect and distribute money from ordinary brothers. Respect comes from the heart, and is not shown by forcing brothers to dig into their pockets to get money. Do you all hear?"
Shen Liang was a little embarrassed, but he quickly regained his smile and said loudly: "It's touching that you show compassion for your subordinates. Brothers, why don't you thank Lord Zhenfu for your consideration and love?"
"Thank you, Lord Zhenfu!" everyone shouted in unison.
This time his voice was high and bright, much louder than the one that greeted him when he came in. Many Jin Yiwei officers and captains also had smiles on their faces. They originally had no expectations for Mr. Zhang to take up the post, but now, they suddenly
They felt that things were a bit unexpected. This Lord Zhang did not seem to be what they imagined.
"Brothers, since you want me to say a few words, I will say a few more. As far as I know, our Nanzhen Fusi Yamen's position among the Jinyiwei Yamen is a bit embarrassing. Our brothers here may be looked down upon by others, but
But you can't look down on yourself. If you can't even look down on yourself, you will never be able to hold your head up. I want you to understand a truth. Our Nanzhen Fusi Yamen is the Dinghai Shenzhen among the Jinyiwei Yamen. Don't look at some Yamen.
, unless they make no mistakes, as long as a braid is caught in our hands, they will kowtow in front of us and beg for mercy. I am not saying this to sow trouble, but to tell you that our brothers in Nanzhen Fusi must not underestimate ourselves.
, we hold a lot of power in our hands, it just depends on whether we want to use it or not. Do you all understand?"
"Understood!" everyone shouted loudly, their voices much louder.
Xin Zhenfu's words sounded very uplifting, and many people felt very excited. However, there were also mature and prudent people who felt that it was inappropriate to say such words of Xin Zhenfu.
The situation of Jinyiwei Nanzhen Fusi is indeed a bit embarrassing. Among all Jinyiwei yamen, Nanzhen Fusi is not involved in handling cases, and has no right to trial and make judgments. The only power it has to supervise the discipline and law of the guards has actually been castrated long ago.
It's hard to actually implement.
The reason is actually very simple. Jinyiwei often handles cases without any rules. The reason why Jinyiwei Yamen is feared and hated by others is because of their unscrupulous and unscrupulous style of action, their bottomless means of action, and their independent power to handle cases and make judgments.
.Externally, except for the emperor, they are almost unrestrained. Internally, the only thing that can restrain them is military discipline and court law.
As the internal yamen of Jinyiwei, Nanzhen Fusi has the responsibility and power to supervise military discipline and law, but it is actually using its own people to supervise its own people. How can it be possible to truly perform its duties? All the successive Nanzhen Fusi governors know this principle
, that is to turn a blind eye and behave when you get benefits. Jinyiwei General Office does not allow them to seriously use military discipline and law to restrict the behavior of Jinyiwei's offices. Otherwise, Jinyiwei's actions will be subject to various constraints and
Confinement.
For example, the process of Jin Yiwei's handling of cases was accompanied by numerous crimes such as torture, assassination, extortion, and robbery. This is actually an open secret and has become one of the reasons why Jin Yiwei's actions are terrifying. If
If Nanzhen Fusi really wants to be restrained by military discipline and law, I am afraid that a large number of Jinyi guards will be sentenced to prison or even beheaded. Therefore, the so-called supervisory power of Nanzhen Fusi may indeed be for the purpose at the beginning.
It was established to restrain the behavior of Jinyiwei, but now it has long been a decoration. To some extent, the establishment of this yamen was just for outsiders to see, just for show.
Nowadays, the words of the new governor are exciting, but also frightening. Many people think that Zhang Yanling is a stupid young man, and if Mou commands them to hear these words, they will definitely be shocked.
It is meant to give rise to dissatisfaction.
Qianhu Shen Liang continued to cheer, but the corner of his mouth twitched. The new governor dared to say these words, he is afraid that he does not know how high the sky is. What if he is the uncle of the marquis? He had better just talk, otherwise he will be in charge of the governor.
I can't stay in this position for more than three days.
"Brothers, although I don't like to be troubled, I have my own rules. I don't know what the previous governor's behavior was like, and I don't want to know. But under Zhang Yanling, you should follow these rules.
One standard. There is only one standard. Before telling you the standard, I want to ask one thing, what is the statue standing on the side of the screen wall over there? Shen Qianhu, tell me." Zhang Yanling stretched out his hand towards the back of the screen wall when entering and exiting.
A statue of a god pointed his finger.
"Ah, that's the statue of the God of Wealth. Why don't you recognize the God of Wealth after practicing?" Shen Liang said with a smile.
"What is the purpose of the statue of the God of Wealth in our Jinyiwei Zhenfusi Yamen?" Zhang Yanling asked solemnly.
"This...was created by my predecessor, Wang Zhenfu, in the hope that the brothers can make a lot of money. Hahaha." Shen Liang laughed hurriedly.
"It's a joke. The statue of the God of Wealth is erected in the Fusi Yamen of Jinyiwei Town. It's a big joke. No wonder there is a gift-giving rule just now. Is this to teach all the brothers in the Yamen to pursue wealth? Let's enter Jinyiwei.
Is it just to make money in the yamen? This is too vulgar and ridiculous. I don’t care what the purpose of Wang Zhenfu and Li Zhenfu is. When I, Zhang Yanling, am the Zhenfu, it’s best to get rid of these evil spirits.
Take it. Come here, smash the statue of the God of Wealth." Zhang Yanling shouted.
