The first Taoist priest of the Tang Dynasty

These methods all come from the Lizhou Business Group.

Every step of the operation also comes from the Lizhou Business Group and the Lizhou Staff Department.

Of course, these methods that are not available in this era all come from Zhong Wen.

Although Zhong Wen didn't understand it very well, he just proposed some methods to solve the problems that cannot be solved in the current era, and then let the people in the staff department find craftsmen to verify them.

The business group in Lizhou was formed under such a background.

The first batch of beneficiaries are mainly fishermen. As for the follow-up, it depends on the farming situation in each county.

Chapter 333 The Censor Eats for Free and Everyone Beats

At this time, the officials of the mission had already visited Jiachuan County.

Dozens of officials, led by the magistrate of Jiachuan County, started to go to some big villages.

"Magistrate Yang, what are they doing? Why do I see your Jiachuan County being so busy? It's almost winter, shouldn't it be a free time? Why is your Jiachuan County like this?"

An official in the mission felt a little inconceivable when he saw some cattle and donkey carts hurrying by.

Two days ago, they finished their tour of the west and three counties in the north of Lizhou, and they arrived in Jiachuan today.

But on the first day of the inspection, they found that there were quite a few trucks full of goods on the official road near Jiachuan County, and people came and went on the road.

"Returning to the Shangguan, recently, the governor ordered the formation of our Lizhou business group, and all counties must also join it, and these frames are all for transporting pine oil and some clay pots." Yang Guo, magistrate of Jiachuan County, turned to the mission. The official who asked the question responded carefully.

"Lizhou Merchant Group? Is Governor Zhong planning to do business with merchants?" The official was very puzzled after hearing this.

And the accompanying officials were basically full of question marks, and they didn't know what was going on with this Lizhou business group.

As for the accompanying Zheng Zhi, when he heard the name of the Lizhou business group, he knew it clearly.

After all, when Zhong Wen formed the staff department, he had already told him about his general plan, but Zheng Zhi did not expect that the Lizhou business group would be established so quickly, and that they could still see each other today. arrive.

"Returning to Shangguan, our Lizhou business group is to help the people solve their financial problems, and even more so to help the people live a more prosperous life. From the government office to the county government, various officials have also selected personnel to manage .” County Magistrate Yang responded again.

"From the government office to the county office? It's such a big deal." After hearing this, Qi Hui, the doctor of the imperial examination department in the mission, was secretly shocked.

A state is doing business for the people, which is enough to show that the people of Lizhou in the future will be more than rich.

It's just that, although he was shocked in Qi Lang's center, he didn't like the matter of the Lizhou business group.

After all, there are too many things and people involved in it, and there are aristocratic families and the influence of local clans. He thinks that the Lizhou business group is just a temporary project to waste money. .

Although, it is inconvenient for him to say clearly, after all, he is a doctor of the examination department, and he only inspects and records some good and bad things he finds. As for the government affairs of Lizhou, he will not ask.

Of course there are people who can intervene, but their leader is in Yiqing County at this time.

Later, under the leadership of County Magistrate Yang, they went to a village by the river and watched the villagers busy with their work.

But when they tasted the canned fish, they couldn't control themselves.

"Magistrate Yang, what is this canned fish? Can you take some back with me when I return to Chang'an?" Qi Langzhong was no longer that official. I don’t forget to take some back to Chang’an.

"If you go back to Shangguan, I can't be the master of these canned fish. You have to ask the head of Jiachuan County of the Lizhou Business Group. I will go and call for you." How dare the magistrate Yang say to give some at will? It is not within his purview to give canned fish to officials of these missions, even if he is the magistrate of a county, he has no right. This was strictly prohibited when they were called for a meeting.

Not long after, the head of the business group Jiachuan County ran over and saluted all the officials.

"Everyone, when Governor Zhong formed the business group, he had already strictly ordered us not to be greedy for ink in any can of canned fish. Look, there is a clerk there who keeps count. Every day we have to communicate with the villagers. The total quantity must be reported to the headquarters of the Lizhou Chamber of Commerce.”

The head officer carefully responded to the officials present, in this explanation, it is obvious that everyone is doing things for the people, and there is no corruption in any way.

"We understand, we understand, so how much is a pot of copper coins? We will buy some and bring them back to Chang'an." An official of the mission said.

Although it is normal for officials in this place to give gifts, but now, even a can of canned fish costs money. Although I don't like it, it has to be like this.

"Back to Shangguan, this can of canned fish will be shipped to Chang'an for sale in the future, so there is no need for Shangguan to buy it here. When the canned fish arrives in Chang'an, Shangguan will naturally be able to buy it. However, Shangguan really want to bring it with you. If I go back to Chang'an, I will definitely report this matter to the governor, and I think the governor will send some to the superiors."

The chief is not a fool, he still understands the style of the officialdom, but he dare not send it away, so he has to report the matter to the higher authorities.

"Yes, all Shangguans, when you return to Chang'an, although I, Zheng Zhi, don't have much money, it's okay to give some of our Lizhou products to you Shangguans." At this time, Zheng Zhi hurriedly stood up, To round things off, at least, the officials of these missions must be at ease.

"You're being polite, how dare you ask Zheng Biejia to pay for it? We can still afford this canned fish. What's more, it's the money of the common people, so we dare not take it casually."

"Yes, yes, this is the livelihood of the common people, and it can't be done casually."

"That's right."

The officials in the mission quickly responded cautiously.

Taking things from the common people, if this is criticized, his reputation will also be damaged.

Afterwards, County Magistrate Yang brought all the officials of the mission to inspect other places.

After a few days, the situation in Jiachuan County and the officials of the mission have become clear. At least, the current situation is the best they have seen.

……

At this time, in the county seat of Yiqing County, Zheng Tong, the supervisory censor.

Half a month ago, after he inquired about the news of Yejia Village from various places in the city, he became silent, and he didn't even leave the door of the post house for a long time.

Zheng Tong's not going out is a good thing for the servant who followed him, so he simply has nothing to do every day, bragging and farting with the officials in the post house.

But on this day, Zheng Tong was wearing casual clothes. Just as the sun was rising, he suddenly left the post house and started wandering around Yiqing County, which made the boring yamen servant had to give up. Everyday leisure, follow this Shangguan.

Zheng Tong wandered around for a long time, until it was time for breakfast, then he chose a restaurant, ordered a bowl of noodle soup, and a plate of mutton, and sat there to eat.

On the other hand, the yamen servant who followed him had to leave temporarily and went home to eat.

Because, he was basically like this every day. Anyway, he felt that the Shangguan he needed to follow was unlikely to do anything else, so he might as well go home and have breakfast.

After a quarter of an hour, Zheng Tong had enough to eat and drink, and shouted to the storekeeper of the restaurant: "Shopkeeper, how much copper money?"

"Guest officer, a total of 180 seven pieces." The shopkeeper hurried over and responded.

However, when the shopkeeper responded, Zheng Tong touched his body and found that he had changed his clothes today and even forgot to take the money bag.

"Shopkeeper, I forgot to bring money when I went out today. Can I keep the account and send it to you later?" Zheng Tong said to the storekeeper after touching his body without a money bag.

"Guest officer, this small shop of mine is a small business. It's okay to say when the noodle soup arrives, but I still ordered the mutton from the restaurant, and I can't keep the account. Otherwise, I can't do this business." The shopkeeper looked at the well-dressed guest officer in front of him, and he couldn't even get 120 seven coins, which really made him a little worried.

The turnover of his small restaurant is only two to three hundred yuan a day at most, and if he can earn fifty or sixty yuan, it is already good.

Besides, he is just a small restaurant, and he sells some soup, noodles, rice, and cooked vegetables on weekdays, and the people who can come to eat are not rich people.

What's more, he went to a restaurant not far away to order that plate of mutton. He had to pay 120 Wen for this large plate of mutton. It's nothing but the first start

"Why do you talk like this in this shop, can I still owe you the meal money? I just don't bring a purse for the time being, remember first." Zheng Tong couldn't stand the shopkeeper's words, stood up, and brushed He flicked his sleeves and was about to leave and return to the post to get money.

"Guest officer, this is your fault. If you really have no money, why would you order mutton? Don't you know that rich people can eat mutton? I look down on you even if you pretend to be rich here. A man who had breakfast nearby sneered.

"That's right, Lao Lu has opened a restaurant here for so many years, and he has never heard that Lao Lu can keep accounts. Moreover, Lao Lu only earns a few tens of pennies a day. If you eat his mutton, he can't do much. What did Tianbai do, no, you have to give the money, otherwise, I will order someone to arrest you and take you to the officials." Another diner helped Lao Lu, the owner of the restaurant, to fight the injustice.

"Arrested him and went to see the official. There is no reason not to pay for food. It is obvious that he wants to come here to eat and drink for nothing. He also wants to order the most expensive mutton, so he can be arrested and go to the official."

"..."

At this time, the restaurant was in a mess, seven or eight diners all stood up, surrounded Zheng Tong who was about to leave and shouted that he was here to eat Bawang's meal.

"When did I, Mr. Zheng, say that I would not give money? I just forgot to bring money when I went out today. Is it okay if I go to get the money and come back? Arrest me to see the official? Do you dare? I am a majestic supervisor. , I see who among you dares to touch me?"

Zheng Tong didn't expect that these people wanted to arrest him just because he didn't bring a purse.

At this time, Zheng Tong was still thinking in his heart, whether it is good to meet an official, he would like to ask why no one cared about him after he was thrown to this Yiqing County.

Even when he went to the county government by himself, there was no one to contact him. The chief officials of the county government were not seen every day. Could it be that he, the supervisory censor, was really regarded as an ordinary official?

"If you don't pay for the meal, and you still say that you are a censor, don't meet this official. Big guy, beat me up, beat him up, and take off this clothes so you can sell it for money to pay for the meal." A diner immediately rolled up his sleeves.

Supervise the censor?

They have never seen it before, and if they heard the name Guan in the past, they would have hesitated.

But now in Yiqing County, the officials are not like officials, and the officials are not like officials, they are like friends of ordinary people like them.

Those who help the people do good things are called officials, and those who bully the people are not officials.

These are the words on the notice, and likewise, they are also the officials in the hearts of their people at this time.

But now, some people still say that they are some kind of supervisory censor. In everyone's mind, the first reaction is that this person is a person with a brain problem.

As the diner rolled up his sleeves and walked towards Zheng Tong, the other diners also walked over.

The sound of "bang, bang, bang" began to resound in this small restaurant.

"You beat me as much as you dare, you beat me as much as you dare, I am the supervisory censor of the imperial court, I will definitely arrest you and put you in prison."

At this time, Zheng Tong had already been knocked to the ground, and even his clothes were stripped off.

Although there was no blood coming out of his head, but at this moment he was already bruised and swollen, and his hair was messed up like that of a beggar.

"You still dare to say that you are the censor. I think you are a hysterical fool. If you don't leave, if you don't leave, we will beat you again." The man in the lead held the clothes stripped from Zheng Tong's body, shouted.

"Old Lu, come on, this clothes should be worth a hundred and eighty renminbi, and it can be considered as offsetting some of the money this fool eats for nothing." said of relief.

Chapter 334 Sending the Mission Back to Beijing

A supervisory censor, because he didn't bring a purse to pay the bill when he went out, was still arrogant after eating, but now he ended up like this.

I don't know if it's sad or lucky.

What's more, he thinks that he is superior and can manipulate anyone at will. Therefore, in today's Yiqing County, no one really treats him as a censor.

Even the face he valued the most has long been covered with dust, and it has lost its dignity.

Perhaps, such a thing is impossible to happen in Chang'an City.

Where is Danlizhou?

It is not an exaggeration to use the term backcountry to describe this Lizhou.

As the saying goes, troublesome people come out of poor mountains and bad waters.

But this is true and false.

People are so poor that they almost can't open their mouths. In order to fill their stomachs, it is normal to rob and steal.

When people are alive, they just want to have a mouth.

People's lives are almost gone, so do we still have to talk about etiquette and etiquette?

Ordinary people have never read a book, and they don't know the etiquette and etiquette. They only know that as long as they are not hungry, they can do anything.

If this is placed in a highly civilized legal society, this kind of thing will definitely not happen, but when is this?This is the country of Tang, and this is Lizhou.

"You gangsters, gangsters,..."

With a bruised nose and a swollen face, Zheng Tong pointed at the diners in the restaurant and yelled and cursed. At this time, he was not as bookish as before, and he looked more like an old man who suffered a little.

Although Zheng Tong is not too old, he is less than fifty.

But now, with his appearance like this, if he is not a little old man, what is he?

"If you scream again, if you dare to stretch your fingers again, believe it or not, we will hit you again? A fool and a lunatic." The diners in the restaurant dared to shout when they saw Zheng Tong.

At this moment, some lively people began to gather around the entrance of the restaurant.

"Eat the overlord's meal? Good fight."

"That is, Bawang's meal is also something you, a foreigner, can eat at will?"

"Are you still fighting? If you fight again, I want to beat up this foreigner too. If you dare to come to our Yiqing County to eat the Overlord's meal."

"..."

Everyone gathered around the entrance of the restaurant, accusing Zheng Tong, who had a bruised nose and a swollen face, and cursed at the starter

"You, you..."

"What are you doing, what are you doing? What's going on?" At this moment, the yamen servant who had been following Zheng Tong had already returned from his home after eating, and he saw many people watching at the entrance of the restaurant. , I was a little puzzled.Then he walked over, pushed aside some onlookers and shouted.

The Yacha's intervention caused the onlookers to quickly retreat to the side, so as to make way for the Yacha.

However, today they are not like in the past, they are afraid to flee when they see the Yacha or something, but stand there and wait to watch the excitement.

After several months of changes, the image of Yachai has already changed a lot.

Finding a yamen messenger for something has gradually spread in Yiqing County.

Whether it is a theft incident or a fight incident, as long as such an incident occurs, finding a yacha will definitely get a perfect result.

This is not the yamen servants of the past, who always take the opportunity to get a hand from both parties when they encounter problems.
