Yipin County Magistrate: Start with invincibility

Chapter 713 I Want To See Who Impeach Who
"My subordinate is the Beihai Salt and Iron Division. He controls the certificates of salt and iron sales in various places in Beihai. It is not an important position."

Even though the old man said so, his face was full of complacency, even a blind man could tell that he was very proud of his official position.

This is not surprising, after all, selling salt and iron is like an iron rice bowl in this era.

Being able to sit in this position is not something ordinary people can do.

In the previous dynasty, salt and iron were commodities that only the government could manage and sell. However, as the people’s lives gradually became richer and the country’s territory became larger and larger, the court needed more people to manage the business.

When the imperial court could not solve this problem by itself, it gradually opened up the right to sell salt and iron in some places.

However, the sale of salt and iron is still under strict supervision. Only after obtaining the certificate issued by the imperial court can they open a shop to sell these two things.

And if you want to get the Yantie certificate, you can only go through the Yantie Division. After the qualification certification here, the Yantie Division's people will go to the court to apply. The company purchases the goods, and then sells them by itself.

It's just that although these two things, salt and iron, are just what the common people need every day, and they are still monopolized, the price can't be changed at will, but is constantly adjusted according to the local market.

The person who adjusts this price is also a member of the Yantie Division.

In this way, the institution of Yantiesi has become a rich and luscious pastry invisibly.

That's why the old man in front of him looked so proud when he spoke.

But Qin Feng's eyes fell on the old man, but his eyes became more contemptuous.

"What? So, you think your official position is enough to keep your head?"

While talking, he casually took out a knife from the waist of the soldier beside him, and gestured twice to the old man's neck in the air, as if he was thinking about how to look at his head more easily.

Of course, the old man had also heard of Qin Feng's reputation. He was terrified when he heard that Qin Feng killed the prairie barbarians on the border of Beihai before. These stories had already spread in Beihai.

Now seeing Qin Feng wielding knives and guns at him, he panicked.

It was only then that he remembered that Qin Feng in front of him was not a civil servant who played with swords and swords like himself, but a fierce man who had really killed someone.

This also caused large swaths of cold sweat to drip down his forehead at that moment.

"This... Qin Feng, do you really want to kill me? I am from the Qi family in the capital of Lao Tzu. If you want to kill me, are you not afraid that my family will sue you in the court?"

When the old man spoke up to this point, it was obvious that he was stern.

When Qin Feng heard this, he couldn't help laughing out loud.

He doesn't know what the Qi family is, but he still understands the concept of aristocrats. No matter in the capital or anywhere, there will be families who have studied for generations. People in their families don't need to worry about their future since birth. path of.

All they have to do is study, and as long as they get their grades from reading, they don't need to worry about high officials and high salaries.

If you are not good at this, you can also choose to do business.

The old man in front of him, if nothing else, belongs to such a person.

It is also for this reason that the interests of their entire family are closely bound. If someone in the family is in trouble, other members of the family will definitely come forward to help.

For example, as the old man said just now, if Qin Feng dared to kill him, he would let other members of the family go to the emperor to impeach Qin Feng.

When Qin Feng heard this, he couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Really? Then do you know that the eldest prince has rebelled now?"

Qin Feng asked coldly, the old man was stunned for a few seconds, obviously did not understand Qin Feng's meaning.

But after he wanted to understand the smell inside, his face suddenly changed: "What? The prince rebelled? How is it possible?"

He widened his eyes, recovered from the shock, and began to guess what Qin Feng wanted to express.

"You mean to say that you are also a rebel with that eldest prince?"

Various thoughts flashed through the old man's mind, and soon a possibility emerged. Qin Feng chose to rebel with the eldest prince, and the rebellion was successful, so he was not afraid of impeachment by the Qi family.

But he had no news about such a big thing, which made him feel even weirder.

But he immediately laughed: "So what? Even if the prince rebels, my Qi family will definitely be reused. Even if you can't be impeached now, will it not work in the future?"

This is the most proud place of the gentry family, not to mention that this is just the emperor's housework, even if the world really changes today, those gentry family still have a detached position.

Because they have talents in their hands, and those who want to become monarchs must need talents, so they are even more afraid to touch these scholars.

Didn't you see that the Great Qin Emperor, the emperor of the ages, has been reprimanded for burning books and burying scholars for many years because he killed some scholars?

But after Qin Feng heard his analysis, he laughed even louder: "No, no, although the eldest prince rebelled, but after he rebelled, he now only occupies a mere Youzhou, and the next step is to capture Shandong. At that time, Beihai will definitely be involved in the fire and water."

"And I don't think you know, Beihai Governor Gu Yongnian and Beihai Chief Soldier Bao Yun secretly have a very close relationship with the First Prince, and you are someone close to Gu Yongnian, if you tell me about this What will His Majesty think if you tell His Majesty the matter?"

When Qin Feng said this, he showed a smug expression.

Now, the old man who was threatening Qin Feng just now was dumbfounded.

They have too many such methods at their disposal. If they want to deal with someone, they will not quarrel with those people face to face in the court, and the quarrel will be red-faced. material,

And after finishing speaking, they still have to put on an attitude that I have no bad intentions, and I am not targeting him, I am just reminding His Majesty.

Under such a language offensive, which emperor can not be suspicious?
It's just that Qin Feng used the usual method of speech officials now.

The old man was dumbfounded immediately, but he knew that since Qin Feng could be named king with a different surname, it meant that he was very favored by the emperor.

If Qin Feng really said that, not only him, but also the Qi family behind him, then he would be really in danger.

If the Qi family is in trouble again because of Qin Feng, he will be the eternal sinner of the Qi family.
