A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

The inspection system of the Song Dynasty was somewhat like the political and legal system of the future. Public security, fire protection, border defense, regional jurisdiction... and even catching deserters are the responsibility of the Inspection Department.

You can understand the responsibilities of becoming a police officer and an armed police officer.

Such a grassroots security force naturally has the largest number in Bianliang City, and it is divided into several levels.

The most awesome thing is the inspection within the imperial city, and there are also a lot of inspections inside and outside the city.

These are great, but the most practical one is the interior sedan.

Shen An gathered more than thirty vendors from the Zhouqiao Night Market, and then checked the things they purchased. He calculated that they were worth hundreds of dollars, so he nodded, and then they went to the second compartment of the night market together.

After entering the yamen, the commander said he was not here, but Li Chang, the inspector in charge of the night market, had been waiting for a long time.

"This is...how bad!"

The vendors drove the pigs and sheep, and there were more than a dozen men carrying burdens following them. They pulled a lot of pig and sheep excrement along the way, and they were very happy.

Li Chang looked surprised, as if he really didn't know what Shen An meant by bringing this group of vendors here.

Shen An cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Inspector Li and his subordinates have put in so much effort for the safety of Zhouqiao Night Market! With the support of the mountain, we can live a stable life, but who gave this?"

"Inspection Li!"

A sergeant rashly patted the horse.

Shen An and Li Chang looked at him at the same time. Shen An felt sorry for him, thinking that this guy was very discerning, but he just didn't know the occasion and the importance. And Li Chang's eyes almost burst into flames.

Please don't hurt me, okay?

"Ahem! It's Your Majesty!"

Shen An said in a passionate tone that made him sick: "Only when we are bathed in the emperor's grace can we enjoy this peace and prosperity. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but be moved, and I even wanted to write a poem."

The two officials who brought him were both smiling, but one looked like he was constipated, and the other had a lump in his throat like he was about to have morning sickness.

"ah……"

Shen An made a gesture, and when he saw Li Chang's confused face, he said, "That's all. Reciting poems and writing lyrics is just a minor thing. It can't compare to Inspector Li's care of my night market vendors. Thank you very much."

The vendors all bowed and thanked them, their voices so neat that the two officials couldn't help but glance at Shen An, wanting to ask him if he had rehearsed in advance.

Li Chang's face suddenly turned red, but it was not from shyness, but from excitement.

The thrill of being acknowledged.

Everyone needs to be recognized by the environment, but as a junior public security official at the grassroots level, Li Chang did not dare to ask for this recognition.

Now this...

Seeing his excitement, Shen An said sternly: "Although we are just small businessmen and hawkers, we also know that we cannot bribe officials. These are just rewards to the brothers of the Inspection Department."

The people behind Li Chang were a little excited.

With just a casual glance, you can roughly judge the value of these things.

More than a hundred coins!

What a generous gift!

As the lowest-level inspection department these days, except for colluding with gangsters to gain some benefits, the rest of the time is miserable.

Now there are vendors coming to reward everyone, what is this?

What a great recognition!

When Shen An saw tears in the eyes of several people, he sighed and said, "It's all hard work!"

Li Chang nodded and said, "Thank you all very much."

It's a show.

Li Changhe and the Inspection Department need this show, while Shen An and the vendors at Zhouqiao Night Market also need a show to intimidate the coveters headed by Fan Lou.

Stir-fried vegetables are like a magic weapon, cutting apart the catering world in Bianliang City in one fell swoop.

That benefit makes people jealous and willing to take risks for it.

Shen An has always been reluctant to use his cooking skills because he was worried that he would be bitten by the big guys in the catering industry. But without background and confidence, how could he bear it?

But the inspection department is not afraid!

"Every year from now on."

Shen An said sincerely: "Brothers work hard day and night for everyone's safety, and everyone feels guilty for making some money. I just said it. None of the vendors in Zhouqiao Night Market can say anything bad. This is People’s hearts!”

The people in the Inspection Department have been shocked by this statement every year.

Are there hundreds of rewards every year?

And they are just street vendors.

How rare this heart is!

Everyone in the inspection department was moved.

Shen An lost no time in letting people buy wine and food, and then the soldiers and civilians had a dinner together.

Everyone talked freely during the dinner, and then the drunken vendors focused their fire on Shen An.

"I'd like to toast my benefactor!"

After a few rounds, although the drinks were very light, Shen An was surrounded by Guoguo, so he had to raise his hands to call a truce, but he was still tipsy.

Li Chang saw that the vendors were very respectful to Shen An, so he finally poured a bowl of wine into Shen An, and then asked: "Mr. Shen is young and promising, so why don't you take the imperial examination?"

This topic made Shen An feel a little uncomfortable.

He burped and said, "It's a long story..."

With a bitter look on his face, he stood up and cupped his hands and said: "I am too drunk to drink, so I will take my leave and ask for your forgiveness."

Then he picked up Guoguo, carried Huahua on his back, and disappeared outside the door with a desolate back.

It's a long story, can't you tell me slowly?

Li Chang said in shock: "What's going on?"

The two officials were also eating and drinking nearby, but they were separated from the people from the inspection department at a distance, and they looked at each other clearly. One of them sighed: "His father is Shen Bian!"

"Shen Bian?"

Most of the people present had never heard of it, but Li Chang knew it.

"Is that the Xiongzhou Governor Shen Bian who is kind to our generation of warriors?"

The official nodded, and Li Chang suddenly got up and chased after him.

He came back later and said regretfully: "I had known it was Shen Zhizhou's son... I, hey! That's all! From now on, the stalls at the Zhouqiao Night Market can rest assured and the dishes can be fried. No matter how powerful those bullshit Fan Lou is, I still don't care. Don’t come to the inspection department!”

…

"Your methods are still so troublesome!"

Shen An went to the government office to thank Bao Zheng and asked Guoguo to take a nap here.

Bao Zheng donated his clean robe, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net and then went out to talk to Shen An.

Shen An glanced at his sleeping sister, and then closed the door.

The spring breeze was blowing outside and it was a bit cold.

Bao Zheng glanced at Shen An and asked, "Have you been drinking?"

Shen An nodded and said: "It's impossible not to drink in that kind of situation. Warriors are straightforward. If you don't, they will think you look down on people."

"You are only fourteen years old, but you know your priorities better than many middle-aged people, and you understand many principles of life... But what troubles me the most is your understanding."

Shen An said helplessly: "I need money to buy a house, and then give my sister a home, a home of our own. No one requires us to be careful when walking, so I took the risk and cooked the food."

It's hard for Bao Zheng to blame Shen An's starting point, "You know the dilemma of the inspection department. Kaifeng Mansion has always scolded and blamed the inspection department when something happened, and discarded it like worn-out shoes when nothing happened. It's a good thing that traders are willing to reward them. Even if it spread to the palace and court, no one would dare to say that this is an invitation to buy people's hearts, but..."

He looked at Shen An and said: "These methods of yours...I feel a little numb!"

Shen An smiled dryly and said: "I said it was just for money, but the people in Fan Lou have already started to take action. If I don't protect myself, who will protect me?"

Bao Zheng said helplessly: "You have caused public outrage, and I dare not say that I can save you. But there are people from the Inspection Department here, and they communicate with each other. Anyone who wants to attack you must think carefully."

This is Shen An's purpose.

The gangsters are the local gangsters in Bianliang City, but the Inspection Department is an organization that can control these local gangsters.

If the merchants in Fan Lou want to threaten Shen An to hand over his secret cooking skills, they will have serious consequences unless they can keep it absolutely confidential.
