The first Taoist priest of the Tang Dynasty

"Censor, Yushi, why did you look like this?" When the yacha saw the supervisor Yushi in the restaurant, he was so frightened that he panicked.

Although, he just obeyed the instructions and followed the supervisory censor.

But he didn't expect that this Shangguan would be severely beaten by others, which he had never thought of, let alone met.

What's more, he is the supervisory censor from the capital, so he can't be beaten no matter what.

But at the moment, the yacha saw that the supervisory censor had been beaten black and blue, and even his clothes were stripped off.

"Wow"

As soon as the Yachai's words fell, the people present who wanted to watch the fun just now ran away in fright, leaving only the diners inside.

The censor is really the censor.

The people present really didn't understand that this lunatic like a fool is really a censor.

At this time, the beating people began to feel a little scared in their hearts.

"I want these unscrupulous people to be imprisoned. If they dare to beat me, they are all unscrupulous people. They will be caught and sent to prison, and you, the county magistrate, will wait for me." Zheng Tong finally seemed to see a savior at this time. It started to shout.

Things changed so suddenly, and some of the people present began to think that they would be in prison for a few years.

……

"Who is in the hall?" After a quarter of an hour, everyone in the restaurant was taken to the second hall of the county government.

Sitting in the hall, Wei Antu, the county magistrate of Yiqing County, began to question the people in the hall loudly.

The people standing in the hall were basically the beating diners and the owner of the restaurant, Lao Lu.

As for Zheng Tong, he was sitting on the stool prepared for him by the yamen hall, looking angrily at everyone present.

"Xiao Min, Xiao Min Lu..."

Following everyone's response, Antu also knew the cause of the beating incident.

"Zheng Yushi, are they right? Are there discrepancies?" An Tu looked at Zheng Tong and asked.

"These rascals beat me up because I didn't bring any money. Are the people in Yiqing County taught like you? Raiders, they are all rascals. Captain An, if you don't give me a satisfactory explanation, I'm going to go up to the emperor." Zheng Tong stood up, didn't even reply, and started shouting again.

"Zheng Yushi, according to my new law in Lizhou, this matter started because of you. Besides, you didn't reveal your identity. If I sent someone to a restaurant for dinner, if I was beaten like you, I can only admit it." In this matter, I have a new law in Lizhou. Everything is based on the common people. You will not be sent to prison just because you are an official. This is the regulation set by the governor of Lizhou. what ever."

"Retire."

An Tu's resignation is to characterize the case as Zheng Tong asking for trouble.

The assailant was taken out of the yamen hall by the yamen servants, but it was Zheng Tong at this time, who seemed to have eaten a dead mouse, and had no idea what was going on.

Being beaten deserves it, this is what he can understand from Antu's mouth.

As for Lizhou's new law, how did he know, it was even the first time he heard of it.

……

Speaking of which, the mission at this time has finished its inspection tour in Jiachuan County, and now it has arrived outside the city gate of Yiqing County.

"Welcome the mission to visit our Yiqing County." Li Wei, the magistrate of Yiqing County, had already received the news and greeted him at the gate of the county seat.

"County Li is being polite." After Qi Langzhong responded, everyone entered the city and started heading towards the county government office.

But when they came to the county government office, they suddenly found that Zheng Tong and Zheng Yushi, whom their mission had not seen for a long time, seemed to have turned into another person, "Zheng Yushi, why did you become like this?"

Qi Langzhong is really a little confused, shouldn't this supervisory censor be under investigation?Is there really something tricky in Yiqing County?

"Mr. Qi, you are finally here. I was beaten up by the troublesome people in Yiqing County, and the county Wei Antu in Yiqing County was found not guilty. Do I have to suffer such humiliation as a dignified supervisory censor?" ? Mr. Qi, you have to testify for me, and..."

When Zheng Tong saw Qi Hui and other mission officials arriving in Yiqing, it was as if he had seen a savior, and he began to accuse the Yiqing County official history for no reason.

Although Qi Hui was a little unclear, after the response from the officials of Yiqing County, they knew the reason.

However, although some disagree with the basis for the punishment of Zheng Tong's beating, he had to give up.

They have already read the new laws of Lizhou, and they even carry a copy with them. Naturally, they know that today's Lizhou is not the former Lizhou.

As for what will happen to Zheng Tong's beating, they have no authority to ask.

If you want to ask, it can only be endless nonsense.

How is Beijing official?

When you come to Lizhou, you can only be a foreigner, or you can go to court.

Qi Hui didn't want to take care of it, and he didn't want to take care of it.

As for Zheng Tong's beating, he just dealt with it a few words casually, and then stopped asking.

Their task is to inspect, not to be in charge of prisons and punishments.

What's more, the matter of prison and punishment was originally his authority, Zheng Tong.

The inspection continued, but the inspector censor Zheng Tong was thrown aside, which made Zheng Tong so angry that his feet were about to break.

After Zheng Tong returned to the post house alone, he began to write the memorial.

From the first day of writing, has been writing to this day.

What he encounters every day, and what he treats unfairly, are all presented in the memorial.

He is going to sue the imperial court, and he wants to sue all the officials in Lizhou.

The No. 1 to be sued in the memorial is Zhong Wen, the governor of Lizhou, who said that he had more than a dozen major crimes and so on.

The same is true for other officials.

The members of the Zheng family were treated unfairly in Lizhou, which already made him, the Zheng family, seem to have been greatly wronged.

Similarly, in addition to writing the memorial, he also wrote another letter, which he was going to submit to his clan, so that the people in the clan could help him deal with the officials of Lizhou.

Seven days later, after the members of the mission visited Jiameng County, they returned to Lizhou City by boat, and even he, Zheng Tong, was among them.

"My envoys, this inspection has worked hard for you all. If there is something wrong with my hospitality in Lizhou, please bear with me, and I will respect everyone."

In the County Marquis's Mansion, Zhong Wen held a banquet for the envoys of these missions.

This can be regarded as a farewell banquet. After all, the inspection tour is over. Tomorrow, it is time for the missions to return to Chang'an.

I came to Lizhou for inspection, and in nearly a month, there is no end to the inspection.

According to the usual inspection and inspection, they would never spend such a long time, and they would not go to each county to inspect.

And now, the method of inspection in Lizhou is also the first of its kind in the Tang Dynasty.

"Inspector Zhong is polite. Lizhou is the best state capital we have ever seen. The spirit of the people is comparable to that of the people in Chang'an City. If things go on like this, the people of Lizhou will live a richer life. This is what we officials and officials would like to see."

Holding the wine glass, Qi Hui saluted Zhong Wen back.

"Thank you, Mr. Qi, for your praise. On behalf of the more than 20 people in Lizhou, I would like to offer a toast to all the envoys." Zhong Wen, a governor who didn't understand anything, had no choice but to take out the tricks of his previous life and drink.

On the contrary, it was Zheng Zhi and the others who mostly talked at the banquet instead of toasting and drinking.

Winning people's hearts and making friends is what officials should do.

As for the servant of the king, he is like an old man, occasionally taking a sip of a drink, and sometimes holding a chopstick, which is out of tune with the people present.

Of course, there is another person who is out of place, and that should be Zheng Tong, the supervisory censor.

After he returned to Lizhou City, he didn't say a word.

Even at this moment, he was just sitting there, eating and drinking.

In the early morning of the second day, at the Jialing Water Wharf in the west of Lizhou City.

Under the leadership of the governor Zhong Wen, the chief officials of the counties in Lizhou and the officials of the government offices, more than a hundred people, are sending the missions to board the ship and return to Beijing.

"Wang's servant, this is a specialty of Lizhou. You can take ten cans home and eat it. I won't talk about the taste. You have tasted it. I gave it to you at my own expense. Don't worry, it's not from the government office. Money." At this time, Zhong Wen said to Wang's servant while carrying ten cans of canned fish.

"Haha, Inspector Zhong, what you gave me is a little small. You have to give me a few hundred cans, otherwise, I won't leave." Wang's servant joked.

This canned fish tastes surprisingly good, even the king's servant likes it very much. After all, it is made according to the recipe provided by Zhong Wen.

"Wang's servant, you don't want me, the governor, to be charged with corruption and perverting the law, do you? I have tried my best for ten cans. These are all the things of the people. If you give more, the people will have a lot less." income."

How dare Zhong Wen give away too much, it is naturally cheaper to buy it locally, but after it is shipped to Chang'an, the price can definitely rise in a straight line.

"Haha, that's fine, I'll accept it, but next time you come to Chang'an, you can give me more." Wang's servant said after handing it over to a forbidden soldier.

Chapter 335 Temporary Handover of the Inspector's Job

Canned fish is a profitable thing in Lizhou, and it is also a source of income for the people of Lizhou.

Sending, of course, is allowed.

But only within ten cans.

After all, the value is different. Even Zhong Wen, the governor, only bought ten cans, which is basically the same for others.

Just like Zheng Zhi and the others at that time, each of them held ten cans of fish and meat, and handed them over to the envoys of the missions.

But Zheng Tong, the supervisory censor, was the only one who didn't.

Don't think about it, it's not that Zhong Wen is stingy, but that no one has any friendship with him, what's more, the officials in Lizhou all have to look at Zhong Wen's face, and no one will give Zhong Wen the face of the governor people.

Therefore, at this time, Zheng Tong's eyes were burning with white fire, as if he wanted to burn the officials of Lizhou to death.

Besides, these have to be paid for by themselves, who would be stupid enough to pay for it and recruit gangsters?No one is stupid, they are all veterans in the officialdom.

"The servants of the king, all the envoys, have a good journey." After all the envoys boarded the ship, Zhong Wen saluted the envoys on the ship and said goodbye.

"farewell."

As the ship went away, the officials in Lizhou began to return to the city.

"Everyone, go to the County Marquis's Mansion, I have something to say." When he was about to arrive at the mansion office, Zhong Wen said to the officials in Lizhou.

"Inspector, do you have any new plans?" Zheng Zhi asked Zhong Wen after hearing about it.

"Let's go there first and talk about it. It's not easy to talk about it on this street." Zhong Wen looked at the officials behind him, thinking about him too.

Not long after that, all the officials arrived at the County Marquis Mansion.

"Now, the mission has returned to Chang'an, and the next things can basically start to advance step by step. The staff needs to make long-term plans, such as three-year plans, five-year plans, or even ten-year plans. of."

Zhong Wen sat in the center of the County Marquis Mansion, looked at the officials present and said.

Today's county mansion's mansion is like a place for meetings, as long as he Zhong Wen, the governor, has any major events, and when he wants to call all the officials to issue some orders, he will come to his county mansion.

After all, the county marquis's mansion is big enough and convenient.

What's more, some tables and stools were also made, which can accommodate two to 300 people for meetings.

"Inspector, my staff department will make a plan according to your request, don't worry." The chief of the staff department stood up and assured Zhong Wen loudly.

"Okay, then the people in the Law Enforcement Division, as usual, will be distributed to the counties, with the cooperation of the county captains. Everyone understands the regulations of the Law Enforcement Division, right? I don't need to explain anything." Zhong Wen continued.

"Returning to the governor, our law enforcement department will respect the governor's order, strictly enforce the law, and will never let any of He Xiao's juniors be released." The director of the law enforcement department also stood up and promised.

"Well, law enforcement must be strictly self-disciplined and strictly follow the rules and regulations. If there are people who know the law and break the law, don't blame me for Zhong Wen's sword. In addition, the county captains must not only cooperate with law enforcement, but also deal with it. I won’t talk about the various criminal cases in this county, as well as other things in this county.”

"The affairs of the business group are proceeding normally, supervised by the staff of the staff department, and the transportation department is about to start preparing to load the goods on the ship. Several officials of the business group have already gone to Chang'an with the people of the mission today. As long as that After the negotiations with the nearby shops are over, our Lizhou canned fish can be put on the shelves for sale.”

Zhong Wensui then turned to the business group.

"Inspector, I want to ask a question." A small official from a business group stood up and asked.

"You said."

"Although the formula of our batch of canned fish is basically the same, there are still some deviations in taste, and the types of fish are also different. Do we need to discuss the price again? We can't sell them all at the same price, right?"

"The price remains the same. They are all fish. There is a slight difference in the taste. There is nothing you can do about it. If you have such a problem in the future, you can directly discuss with the staff of the staff to discuss how to solve it. For now, this is the case."

"If the price is really unified, the small can of fish meat sells for [-] yuan, the medium can sells for [-] yuan, and the large can sells for [-] yuan. How do you calculate the cost of this shop? You can't let the government keep going. Put the money in and post it inside."

"For the time being, the people are poor. Are we going to earn the money of these poor people? Hasn't the cost already been calculated? As long as it is in business for a few months, the money for this shop can be earned back. Besides, Most of the money was earned by the common people, isn't that more your credit?"

Although Zhong Wen has the right to speak decisively on this matter.

But if you really want to count the shops and some expenses of the officials first like this official of the business group, it must be earned from the hands of the common people, but if this is the case, it will inevitably make the common people Feeling resentful.

Maybe the method of making the fish and the method of sealing it may be spread.

Although this method of sealing cannot be kept secret for long, it can be kept secret for as long as it can, but at least it must be ensured that the interests of the current state will make the first batch of people get rich first.

"I know what everyone is thinking. In fact, have you ever thought about what the people would do if they had money in their hands? They would definitely buy cloth, grain and other things. The people can solve the problem of food and clothing. As long as the problem of food and clothing is solved, who will they thank first? It is you, the officials and officials of our Lizhou."

As soon as Zhong Wen's words fell, the officials began to think about something quietly.
