Nine hundred and thirtieth IX Qianjin buys horse bones
(Many thanks to ‘ck Chinese’ for their generous support and monthly ticket support.)
In the evening, everything was arranged. In the lobby of the Yanzhen Transportation Department, Wang Junling was sitting high. On the left were Nie Xiaoyu and Xiang Xiang, Li Xuanba, Luo Shixin, and Zhang Tiangang. On the right were Xu Xiaohu, Lian Zhongtao, and the five new chief craftsmen.
, and Lu Han, Guan Xiaotong. And in the middle were four officials kneeling, namely Qian Zhengkuo and Dong Kang, as well as Dong Kang's two subordinate officials Chen Guang and He Yaping. They were pale and panic-stricken at this time, thinking about themselves.
Worried about life and future.
Wang Junlin glanced at the four of them and said coldly: "Dong Kang, Chen Guang, He Yaping, and the other three of you were in charge of the salt field, and together with the master craftsmen, they deducted the wages of salt workers and salt slaves, and colluded with outsiders to resell private salt. This is a heinous crime.
According to the laws of the Sui Dynasty, he should be beheaded."
Dong Kang, Chen Guang, and He Yaping suddenly turned pale and kowtowed to Wang Junlin as if they were pounding garlic, constantly begging for mercy: "Sir, have mercy on me, my lord, have mercy on me!"
Wang Junlin was unmoved, but he did not immediately give the order to kill them. Seeing this, Dong Kang quickly changed his tone and said, "Sir, I am willing to serve you, and I beg you to spare my life."
Chen Guang and He Yaping also hurriedly said: "Sir, I am also willing to serve you. I just ask for your mercy."
Wang Junlin said with a smile: "Since the three of you have a chance to change your ways, I will give you a chance. I will ask someone to prepare paper and pen for you. Whether you can survive depends on whether you can
I have provided some excusing information, such as things about the underground salt shop, and some things about the Lu family, especially who is involved in the salt shop, who distributes money from it, etc."
After saying that, Wang Junlin waved his hand, and several guards came forward and took them down. Yan Town had its own prison belonging to the Salt Works Transfer Department. In the past, the three of them used it to imprison salt workers and salt slaves who committed crimes.
, I don’t want the three of them to be locked in it now.
After the three officials from the salt field went down, Wang Junlin personally walked over and helped Qian Zhengkuo up and said, "Sir Qian, why are you able to eliminate corruption in the salt field in one fell swoop this time? Thanks to Lord Qian for being honest with me, otherwise
How can I know about the salt field?"
To be prepared
With an embarrassed look on his face, Qian Zhengkuo helped him up, and Wang Junlin continued: "Sir Qian, I want you to be promoted to two levels and become the director of the salt farm. Are you willing?"
Qian Zhengkuo's body was shaken. He never dreamed that Wang Junlin not only did not imprison him, but also promoted him. But then he understood why Wang Junlin promoted him. The so-called "a thousand pieces of gold buys a horse's bones" has been going on for more than ten years.
, the entire officialdom of Fanyang County was corrupted by the Lu family, and almost all those who were not corrupted by the Lu family could not be officials, or could not be officials for a long time. For example, the nobles of the three southern counties were dissatisfied with the Lu family's intrusion on their interests, so they united to fight against the Lu family.
, as a result, they had almost no children serving as officials in the officialdom of Fanyang County.
The so-called law does not punish the public. Although this sentence reveals a deep helplessness, it is a fact. When all officials are like this, Wang Junlin can't replace them all or kill them! Even if he wants to
In the end, he must get rid of all these people, but he must not let these people think that he will be like this, otherwise they will completely push these people to Lu's side and become his mortal enemies. At this time, a role model is needed.
To divide the interest groups created by the Lu family in the officialdom of Fanyang County.
All the officials in the county knew that Qian Zhengkuo was called by the prefect for a talk. Then Qian Zhengkuo and the prefect suddenly went to the salt field and killed all the master craftsmen of the Lu family in the salt field in a few days.
The two thousand salt workers built by the Lu family were killed and driven away, and the three salt farm officials were also imprisoned.
With these things, even if the prefect does not promote Qian Zhengkuo to an official position, many people will doubt Qian Zhengkuo's role in this matter. At this time, Wang Junlin re-appointed Qian Zhengkuo and promoted him to two levels in a row.
Now Zhengkuo has mud in his crotch, which is either shit or shit. It is useless for him to explain to anyone. He can't say that he is stupid. He was frightened and deceived by the prefect, thinking that the prefect and them are the same. He just wants to get it from the salt field.
It was in my own interests, so I followed the whole process.
Qian Zhengkuo knew that even if he said this, no one would believe it.
In short, as long as the news about Qian Zhengkuo spreads, some officials who thought that they had taken a lot of money from the Lu family and helped them do a lot of things over the years would definitely be at odds with the new emperor.
After retreating from Lu's united front, other thoughts came to mind.
Of course, when the new governor fails to show an obvious advantage in the battle with the Lu family, they may not do anything, but when the Lu family is at a disadvantage and Wang Junlin uses appropriate means, these people will betray the Lu family.
, took refuge in Wang Junlin.
Qian Zhengkuo has been able to serve as the tax collector of Fanyang County for many years and is still capable. Although Wang Junlin's methods are unconstrained and often unexpected, he still understands many things in an instant, and he knows in his heart that if he refuses at this time, he will be at least
Like Dong Kang and the others, they were thrown into prison by the prefect, and at worst, they died in confusion.
Besides, it’s not easy to be promoted to an official by two levels at once! Although the Lu family can give him a lot of money, they can’t promote him to an official position. What’s more, the Lu family almost dominates the sky in Fanyang County, but from this salt farm incident
From the looks of it, I'm afraid it has become history. Perhaps it is a good thing to be forced to follow the prefect this time.
"I obey, I would like to thank you for your promotion." Qian Zhengkuo's expression changed several times before he finally knelt down and said.
Wang Junlin nodded, smiled and helped Qian Zhengkuo up, then turned to Xu Xiaohu and said: "Xu Xiaohu, you have contributed a lot this time and are familiar with the salt field. I will send a message to Shen Guang later. Now you are
The assistant officer of the sixth grade of the salt field."
Wang Junlin had consulted Xu Xiaohu's opinion in advance. Xu Xiaohu was not surprised by the appointment. He respectfully stepped out of the queue, saluted and said: "I humbly obey my orders."
Wang Junlin turned to Lian Zhongtao and said: "Lian Zhongtao, from now on you will be the meritorious officer of the Saltworks Transfer Department."
Lian Zhongtao was ecstatic in his heart. He suppressed his excitement and knelt down and said tremblingly: "Young man... I obey your orders. I am willing to serve you to the death in this life." At first, he thought he could become a chief craftsman at most, but unexpectedly
The Lord Prefect directly gave him a seventh-level meritorious service, which was really a step forward for him.
Wang Junlin nodded, helped Lian Zhongtao up, and said with a smile: "You usually study with Master Qian and Master Xu." Without waiting for Lian Zhongtao to respectfully acknowledge him, he turned to Qian Zhengkuo and said
: "Master Qian, if there is anything going on in the salt field, you should discuss it with Master Xu and Master Lian."
