Chapter 1062: Seeking political power in his position
"Come on, brother Ziyan, I want to toast you. After three years of separation, brother Ziyan often does extraordinary things. He is really amazing."

In Fan Lou's private room, Wang Yan and Feng Jing exchanged cups and expressed their joy of meeting again.

Feng Jing had a normal promotion trajectory. He had only worked in the local government for two years before being transferred back to Bianjing to serve in the Jixian Academy and Zhizhigao. Unlike Wang Yan, who was only a nominal member of the Jixian Academy, Feng Jing actually worked in the Jixian Academy. Zhizhigao was responsible for drafting imperial edicts. Both were standard positions for ministers and also for some top scorers.

So Feng Jing's treatment is still good.

Otherwise, there is nothing we can do, and we will pass three imperial examinations in one session. The number one scholar can cause trouble, and the top scholar is not an official. Feng Jing is just a normal person. Furthermore, the treatment for the second place winner was already very good, so even if Feng Jing's top pick was taken away by Wang Yan, it would not have a significant impact.

Wang Yan shook his head and said with a smile: "Is it better that my elder brother can do it? I heard that he married the daughter of a wealthy prime minister? Not only is he beautiful, but also with the help of his rich prime minister, and besides, my elder brother is capable of doing what he can do, and he will be the ruler of the world just around the corner."

"Are you making fun of me?" Feng Jing said, shaking his head in self-concern, "If you want to rule the world, it must be you, Wang Ziyan. You have done great things in Hangzhou. I heard that you had medical treatment with the officials yesterday, and even went to I went to the Prince of Runan County, and today I heard that you took away the power of the judge on the spot, and asked everyone in the inspection court to pay back the money they had taken. It has only been three days since you entered the capital, but you have not been at peace for a day..."

He was really impressed by Wang Yan's awesomeness. When we all lived together for half a year, Wang Yan was so humble, so knowledgeable, and so chic. As a result, after becoming an official, he became really ruthless. Although I had known for a long time that Wang Yan had a desire for reform, when I really found out what Wang Yan did, I couldn't help but feel frightened. I silently muttered "madman", but I couldn't help but admire Wang Yan.

Wang Yan clinked glasses with him and drank a glass of wine, and said with a smile: "I have no choice. Brother, you know what kind of person I am. Although I can be regarded as a big family in the township, I have not hidden my household registration. There are some relics from my previous family. Later, they were all registered with the government. Of course, I had some selfish motives. After all, I can only be upright to others. I also have a lot of land in my family, but I pay taxes on every acre according to regulations, and there is no leakage.

When the younger brother first arrived in Hangzhou, there was... Later, the younger brother seized power and implicated the family of a large grain merchant. Only then did he realize that his generation was greedy, the people were in hardship, and the people's livelihood was very difficult. Only then did cleaning fees, land clearing, and household registration checks come into play. I really couldn't bear it and had to do it. "

"To tell you the truth, Ziyan, when I heard about the cleaning fee issue in Ruzhou, I also wanted to implement it in Ruzhou. However, the resistance was too great and no one catered to it, so we let it go."

"You have to have soldiers in your hands. If you want to kill them, they have to obey."

"How can I have Zi Yan who is so talented in both civil and military affairs?" Feng Jing shook his head and sighed.

Wang Yan understands Feng Jing's lament, because his style is incompatible with the overall bureaucracy. When he was in Yangzhou, he never compromised and was forced to do it. Now in the capital, it is just as strong. There are judges with backers who will seize power when they say it.

But that was just a display, and he also compromised. After all, taxes were involved, and they were bargaining back and forth with Zhao Zhen and Zhengshitang. After all, there are still many problems that have not been resolved, and that is his compromise. If he really fights to the end, he will have to go up the mountain.

"Take your time, brother, don't be impatient. The first thing is to gather comrades. When our path is prosperous, it will be like a painting of mountains and rivers. There will be a time when you and I will use our pens."

"A big stroke of pen, Brother Ziyan is so courageous..."

In this way, the two of them drank and talked, not only reminiscing about their first acquaintance more than three years ago, but also talking about the current situation and some work issues. Even if Feng Jing is a wise man, even if he has Fu Bi, his father-in-law, to guide him, there are still many things in his work. No one can take everything into account. Of course Feng Jing has to ask Wang Yan, a famous ruthless person, for advice.

In addition, what is indispensable is the exchange of knowledge. Wang Yan still teaches Feng Jing.

His two die-hard fans, Fan Chunren and Feng Jing, both cheered for him and promoted his doctrine in local areas, because they both believed it themselves...

The small gathering with Feng Jing was just an interlude, but Wang Yan is really busy now. As soon as he entered the capital, he started working, and directly carried out the suppression and centralization of power after the new official took office. At the same time, he also had to find time to visit some people in the capital one by one. Half a month passed in a blink of an eye.

Wang Yan finally checked the accounts and solved the team problem. The leader was Zhang Zhiqing, and the people below were all watching Zhang Zhiqing's movements and holding him down, so there was no problem.

Zhang Zhiqing is not a smart person.

Zhang Yaozuo lost power, and Wang Yan himself was now the number one leader of the young faction in the officialdom of the Song Dynasty. He was the vanguard of the reform faction, Fan Zhongyan's comrade-in-arms, Ouyang Xiu's disciple, Lao Bao's close descendant, and Zhao Kuai Dao, who Zhen wanted to use but did not dare to delegate too much power, was closely related to the Prince of Runan County and was implicated in Chu's affairs.

Under such circumstances, Zhang Zhiqing still dared to take the initiative to cause trouble with Wang Yan. He must be mentally ill. Or perhaps, he is an old person who is still addicted to Zhang Yaozuo's past glory and is unwilling to wake up.

As a result, Wang Yan didn't even use any force to embarrass him. After Zhang Zhiqing asked around, he honestly made up the money and left office quickly. It doesn't matter whether you have a job or not at the moment. What's important is that you run away from Wang Yan first, so as to prevent Wang Yan from looking down on him and then killing him and killing him like a chicken.

Zhang Zhiqing humiliated himself and ran away, and the rest of the people would naturally be honest. Although Wang Yan said that small amounts would not be pursued, no one dared to do so.

Therefore, the accounting room has become a confession bureau. From the civil servants and officials at all levels in the patrol court to the patrol officers and the like, including the personnel in the prison under the patrol court, the ranks are from high to low, one by one. They lined up at the door of the accounting room and went in one by one to confess.

For half a month, Wang Yan read the account books and listened to people's confessions. He talked and understood the situation, and then wrote a note to ask people to go to the accounting office in the inspection room waiting next door to pay back the money. Enter the account.

Of course, this is a lot of greed. Wang Yan basically did not pursue the many low-level people who had accumulated only a few dozen coins over the years.

They did not disappoint Wang Yan. Not only did they confess themselves, they also reported on others. Why did Wu Laoer fall in love with whose widow? What evil deeds had been committed by each of them? Who was deeply involved with the gangsters in Bianjing City? Which gang was connected with which big family? Which noble family committed something? , how is it flat? It’s a mess, everything is there.

This is all very useful information. From this information, Wang Yan clarified the internal relationships, and at the same time cleaned up the people who should be dealt with. The cleaning team also got a clearer understanding of the gangster forces in the entire Bianjing city, and clarified the target of attack.

After all, there is no Taoist priest. If he had to inquire by himself, it would be a lot of effort and he would never be as comprehensive as he is now. If recorded, it would be enough to publish a directory of the evil forces in Bianjing City.

He basically understood the sinful world hidden under the prosperity of Bianjing. Now, he wanted to become a cleaner, and he would give it a severe beating first.

He did not directly target the wealthy families and dignitaries in Bianjing, because this was something that did not need to be done proactively. At this time, as long as any management position with actual power concentrates on doing its job, the ultimate goal will be to attack the wealthy and powerful, who are the source of most problems. The remaining small number can be attributed to the shortcomings of imperial centralization.

A city with a population of one million is still a well-deserved political and economic center when information transportation is not smooth, so it is naturally particularly concerned about the control of public security. The security maintenance of Bianjing City consists of two parts. Part of it is managed by the Sanyamen. The generals of the Guards and Military Department command the inspection department. In the imperial city, the outer city, and the new city developed and expanded by the city, military patrol shops are set up to permanently station soldiers of the Imperial Guard. The other part is the unit under the Kaifeng government office, namely the Left and Right Military Patrol Yuan.

There are two courtyards in the left and right military patrol courts. Wang Yan is the military patrol envoy of the left courtyard, and there is another one from the right courtyard. The left is respected, he is the boss, but he has no direct jurisdiction over the right courtyard.

As for the Inspection Department, he has no jurisdiction.

Furthermore, even if you think about it with your feet, you can tell that both the right courtyard and the inspection department are full of chaos and cannot be trusted at all. After all, the Zuoyuan he manages himself, not counting the prison, has more than 500 employees, and not a single clean person has confessed to him. Needless to say about the peripheral helpers. There are even many people who shave off helpers.

They say they are helpers, but they are actually half-officials and half-bandits. Both sides can talk to each other, and in a certain area, you can still gain some popularity just by taking it out. In other words, it is more appropriate to say that he is the intermediary liaison between the gangsters and the official.

It belongs to Hong Kong movies. You do some business related to crime and have some connections. When the Royal Police encounters trouble, they will bring people over to inquire about the situation and find people. In the old society, it was just asking around, which is pretty much what it meant.

Therefore, the only force that Wang Yan can directly use for relevant actions is the more than 500 people in his Left Patrol Court, and no one else can be relied on.

Early that morning, Wang Yan invited Lu Gongchuo.

"Zi Yan, I was just looking for you to come over. Let's sit down and talk." The old boy was still smiling, "You and I prescribed the prescription earlier. I drank a few doses of medicine. I feel much better recently. It's true. His medical skills are profound.”

"Thank you, Mr. Lu. As long as your health gets better, I finally lived up to Mr. Lu's trust."

Lu Gongchuo nodded, and after a few small talk, he said: "It's been a month and a half since Zi Yan took office. I think he has understood the situation. I came to see me today. Is there any chance of success?"

Everyone knew about Zuo Jun's inspection of the courtyard, and Lu Gongchuo naturally knew it too. Even the official documents dealing with those people had to come to him for approval in the end. But he said nothing, as if nothing happened.

"I don't dare to negotiate, but I'm just in my position and working for my own affairs." Wang Yan cupped his hands and said directly about his purpose, "I have recently cleaned up the moths in the inspection hall, and I should do my duty. I have transferred it to the official. There are quite a lot of thefts and robberies in some of the files, and even more cases of stealing people's children. It is not uncommon for the city's foxes and rats to destroy the most evil people in Kyoto. The following officials want to clean up the thieves and thieves in the city, but they don't know what Mr. Lu has done. What instructions?"

"How to clean up?"

"It's natural to catch a thief and take advantage of him." Wang Yan replied nonsense.

Lu Gongchuo took a deep look at Wang Yan, took a sip of tea, and then spoke: "Does Zi Yan know that this is involved?"

"The state has its own laws, and every family has its own rules. Anyone who breaks the law, violates discipline, or even involves thieves will be brought to justice."

"Zi Yan is still a little younger and has a strong sense of loyalty. This is the capital, and the Emperor is here. If there is too much movement and disturbs the officials, Zi Yan may not be able to afford the punishment."

"The position of the lower official's left patrol envoy is the personal order of the official family and the writing of the political affairs hall."

Lu Gongchuo shook his head and sighed: "Zi Yan should do his duty, how can I instruct you? Go ahead!"

"Thank you, Mr. Lu." Wang Yan cupped his hands, stood up and left.

Lu Gongchuo's meaning is very clear, you are awesome, you act in accordance with the laws of the country, I can't control you even if I want to. So whatever you like has nothing to do with me, it's not my instruction.

He really couldn't care less. After all, Wang Yan was in a position of real power and could arrest and interrogate people. There was no way he could say anything against him. Wang Yan also said that Zhao Zhen personally appointed the position, and he could talk to the emperor. There were also people in the political hall who were interested in him, so what did he care about? We can't help but let people do their work. That's not to embarrass Wang Yan, that's to embarrass Zhao Zhen.

Wang Yan wandered back to his left inspection court yamen. As soon as he entered the large courtyard, he saw the patrol officers standing upright one by one, wearing shabby equipment and holding swords.

"We are all our own people, and I do not mince words when speaking. From today on, our Left Patrol Court will severely crack down on thieves and thieves in the city. In all actions, follow the command. This is not a battle to defend the country on the border, and there is no need to fight to the death. First and foremost. During the siege, the second priority is to arrest, and if you can't arrest, you will be killed. It is my duty to search the house. I will not keep the dirty things from the thieves, but I will hand them over in full and reward them according to their merits.

I don’t care who you are friendly with or who you are involved with, but those who leak information and release thieves and powerful people without permission will have their homes raided and fled to the northwest. But those who hide dirty things secretly will be punished with thirty sticks and dismissed from their posts. Do you understand? "

"understand!"

"Very good." Wang Yan nodded with satisfaction, "There is a bandit named Zhou Qiang in the north of the city. He gathers strong people and does a lot of banditry. He lures people to gamble and loan usury. When he collects the money, he often destroys families and destroys families. "The crime is extremely heinous and should be punished. You should know what is going on with this person. Now, you will go out to the Yamen immediately to arrest Zhou Qiang's family and his thieves."

"Yes, I humbly accept my order." A strong man stood up excitedly and replied loudly.

Wang Yan waved his hand, turned around and returned to the official residence.

More than five hundred people, for a crime with a population of one million, cannot be called a severe attack, but it is still a considerable force. As long as he catches famous criminal gangs and beats them up, the public security in Bianjing will definitely improve.

This week's three strong gangs are just medium-sized gangs that are used for training. The main purpose is to hone the team first, find cooperation, and find some problems, and then further purify the team. After that, they can launch a devastating blow to those gangsters who may be well-known in the Song Dynasty...

Liu Dutou began to check the manpower and assign tasks. However, half an hour later, more than 500 people left the Xunyuan Yamen in batches and gathered towards the north of the city...

I would like to express my daily gratitude to the good brothers who vote monthly, recommend and read quietly for their strong support!
