Don't make trouble, let's build infrastructure!

Tong Ran brought more than 70 documents from Ding County and Xiaoguo County. He took Yuan San and Sang Le to sort through them all afternoon and picked out [-] documents.

After nightfall, the lights were lit in the house, and the flames danced. Tong Ran rubbed the center of his eyebrows and said, "Let's go here first. Brother Yuan, take this list to Ding County and Xiaoguo County respectively to send orders. In addition, you will send the list for me." Give the letter to Prefect Yu."

The number of people in Xiaoguo County and Ding County is still limited. Tong Ran still lacks 80 soldiers. It is already the limit for them to pick out 50 people to fill the vacancies. There are so many people, we should be able to find some more.

"Yes." Yuan San took the list and letter respectfully, hid them in his bosom and said, "This subordinate will set off early tomorrow morning."

Tong Ran nodded.Sang Le sorted out the rest of the paperwork and withdrew out with Yuan San.

The little tiger jumped down from the museum shelf. It just took a nap and went back to the palace to review the papers.In the past, if it fell asleep somewhere other than the bed, Tong Ran would definitely carry it back, but this time it didn't even move its position, as if it didn't notice it at all.

"Wow!" The little tiger ran to his feet and scratched the legs of Tong Ran's chair.

"Cub." Tong Ran opened her eyes and looked down at it, then picked it up, "Where did you go to play?" Tong Ran stroked its furry head.

He even asked where it went to play.The little tiger flicked its tail, and opened Tong Ran's hand to touch its body.It had apparently been on the museum shelf all afternoon.

Tong Ran opened his hand, wiped his face and said, "Zai Zai is hungry, I'll send someone to bring food over."

Tong Ran yawned, two tears were forced out of the corners of his eyes, and the look of fatigue suddenly appeared.

The people from the Supervisory Office brought over their dinners. The little tiger got some boiled pork belly and a roast chicken without seasoning, and Tong Ran got the mansion's big pot of rice.

Tong Ran fell asleep without eating two chopsticks.

Since receiving the imperial decree, he has not rested for a day.First, he arranged the affairs of Xiaoguo County, then rushed to Jinhe Supervisor without stopping, and then met Shang Jiang and other personnel. It seemed that Tong Ran could only issue some orders, but he had to consider and weigh everything, which wasted his energy.

Now that it was quiet, he just wanted to sleep.

After eating in the study, Tong Ran took the little tiger back to the main courtyard.

The inspector's mansion is much larger than the county government, and the main courtyard he lives in is also much larger than the small courtyard he rented before.During the day, he gave Qiu'er some money and asked him to buy a few waiters, and now it's ready, and under the command of Qiu'er, several students in the courtyard are busy in and out.

"Brother Tong." Seeing Tong Ran, Qiu'er immediately came over and said, "Everyone has already bought back, Brother Tong was busy just now, let them give you a present now."

Tong Ran was noncommittal, Qiu'er recruited people, a total of six young men, young and young, they all greeted Tong Ran.

Tong Ran asked a few questions, tapped again, and then let them go to work.

"You can choose a cook tomorrow and open a small kitchen in the east wing, and we will cook all the meals in our courtyard there." Tong Ran said again, "Remember to be good at barbecue."

"Okay Brother Tong, I'm sure the little tiger will be satisfied." Qiu'er said.

Tong Ran nodded in satisfaction. Qiu'er had been with him for a long time, but his mind was very clear, and it became easier to use it.

After talking these words with Qiu'er, Tong Ran became even more tired, picked up the little tiger and went into the house, washed up a bit and fell asleep.

The next day, when the sun was dim, Tong Ran got up.

The little tiger was still sleeping, huddled under the blanket and made a small ball, sleeping warmly.

Tong Ran got out of bed softly, there was already a servant waiting outside.Tong Ran went to the next door and asked him to fetch hot water to freshen up. Afterwards, he ate breakfast and set off to go to the front yard to be on duty.

As soon as he left the main courtyard, he saw Gu Lan coming from the east courtyard.

Because Jinhejian is a mining area, there are few residences, so the supervisory mansion was built very large, and many officials lived in it, like a large staff dormitory.Gu Lan lived in a courtyard on the east side, and the main courtyard that Tong Ran came out from the east gate happened to meet him.

Gu Lan cupped her hands and bowed: "Master Tong, good morning."

Tong Ran replied: "Good morning, Mr. Gu."

Gu Lan seemed to have something to say, but Tong Ran didn't say anything else, waiting for him to speak.

Gu Lan took out a roll of papers from her sleeve and handed it to Tong Ran: "Look, my lord, last night I interrogated a dozen of Shang Jiang's soldiers and found out the names of these people."

Tong Ran took the document, which had more than ten names on it.

Gu Lan said: "The day before yesterday I first interrogated Liao Wu and Shang Jiang, both of whom were hard-boiled, and they were useless after being tortured. Yesterday I changed the method and interrogated all the soldiers close to Shang Jiang, and forced to interrogate them. They set up undercover agents among the mob. Only Liao Wu and Shang Jiang have the list of these undercover agents, but the soldiers have followed them for a long time, and they know a little bit about them. After one night, they spit out more than a dozen names."

Tong Ran glanced at it and said, "What do you think?"

Gu Lan said: "It should be all of them, maybe even more."

Tong Ran: "How do you say?"

Gu Lan cupped her hands again and said, "Your Excellency, you don't know. The reason why these mobs assaulted your Excellency was not just because someone incited them, but because they really wanted something. Jinhejian is located in Longyou Road, and the road to come here is not easy. It is very convenient, but the imperial court didn’t pay much attention to it, so there was little business. Later, Shang Jiang cut the price in half in order to attract one or two people. Although there was business like this, the operation became increasingly difficult, and it has not been paid for more than half a year.”

Tong Ran glanced at him: "That's why you don't care about rushing to Xiaoguo County to ask me to build roads?"

Gu Lan smiled embarrassedly and said: "Gu Lan is really helpless, please forgive me."

Tong Ran said: "Well, you continue to talk."

Gu Lan said: "So those who take the lead among the mob must also have ordinary absenteeism. They may be used by Shang Jiang, but they are not necessarily undercover agents."

Tong Ranqi said: "That's it? Iron mines are a business monopolized by the imperial court. Dacheng has to buy goods from the imperial court's mines for all his livelihoods that require iron. Are you here to buy? Speaking of inconvenient roads, it’s really inconvenient to pass through Heishi Six Village, but as long as you enter Ding County, you can connect to the official road of Zhuoyang Mansion, so why can’t you sell it at all?”

Gu Lan: "This...but I really didn't come to buy it."

Tong Ran shook his head, no wonder Supervisor Jin He couldn't handle it.He asked again: "When was Shang Jiang transferred to Jinhe Supervisor?"

Gu Lan said: "When the last envoy was in office, he was already there. Although I was on the same level as him after I was transferred, but the military power is in his hands, and Shang Jiang is domineering, so Jin Hejian's control is also important. Mostly in his hands."

Tong Ran: "That is to say, those iron ore transactions were also handled by Shang Jiang?"

Gu Lan nodded: "I'm in charge of arranging shipments and other miscellaneous matters. Shang Jiang has the final say on management and sales."

Tong Ran nodded, almost as he thought.

Yesterday, between reviewing documents, he took the time to look through the ledger, and felt that the price of iron here was low.What Gu Lan said today confirmed his conjecture.Iron ore is a monopoly business and a necessity, and he saw that the samples produced here are the same as those produced in other places, so it is impossible not to sell them.

In addition, he found that the merchants who deal with Jinhejian on the ledger have not added new ones since the price cut a few years ago.

Jinhejian's iron price is only half of that of other mining areas. After a few years, the news should have spread, but there is no new merchant to buy it?This is really suspicious.

While speaking, Tong Ran and Gu Lan had arrived at the compound where they worked.

Gu Lan followed Tong Ran to his front room: "My lord, what are you going to do with these undercover agents?"

Tong Ran didn't answer, but called You Yang, who was setting up guards, and explained: "I have sent people to Ding County, Xiaoguo County and Zhuoyang Mansion, and there should be new people coming in a few days. Trouble captain and your people to train for me."

You Yang clasped his fists neatly: "Master Tong, don't worry."

In terms of grade, You Yang is half a grade higher than Tong Ran, but he doesn't care about it.Before leaving, His Majesty has given instructions to ensure Tong Ran's safety, and the rest must follow Tong Ran's arrangements.

Tong Ran: "It's hard work Captain You. Besides, Tong wants to ask Captain You to find some people for me."

You Yang: "Master Tong, please tell me."

Tong Ran reported the names of several companies and their speakers. "In three days, I hope to see them."

Some of these people were in the west of Ling, some in Jiangliu, and some in the north of the mountains and forests, but You Yang didn't even wrinkle his eyebrows, and immediately asked: "Master Tong, do you want to live or die?"

Tong Ran felt cold behind her back, and said quickly: "If you want to live, don't hurt others, I still want to do business with them!"

You Yang: "Yes, I will understand in the end."

After finishing speaking, he turned around quickly, called a few guards to give instructions, and those people left immediately.

The Imperial Guard is just different, efficient.Tong Ran pushed the door open and went to her study.Gu Lan hurriedly followed, as if she was afraid of alarming someone, and said in a low voice: "Those are all big customers in our prison, why are you arresting those people?"

Tong Ran glanced at him: "Of course it's a business. You take someone to do the calculation. Based on the ordinary market price, how much our prison has charged them these years. In addition, how much wages are owed by the prison for absenteeism, except for the past half a year. If there were any missing or missing hairs in the past, they will all be counted and given to me."

Gu Lan is familiar with these things, she cupped her hands and said, "Yes. What about those people in the prison?"

Tong Ran said: "Closed for now. Also, our inspector's office can't even pay wages, these people don't have to eat too well, just give them as much as they can eat every day. "

Gu Lan: "Could it be too little?"

Tong Ran: "What's missing? Don't miners work the same way?"

Gu Lan shivered again, and quickly responded and stepped back.Fortunately, I have always been at odds with Shang Jiang, otherwise I would be hungry.
