From martial arts apprentice to Dagan martial artist

Chapter 42 Seventy percent belonged to someone else...

"There are a total of 580 prisoners in our prison. What the little people usually do is to watch these prisoners go out to do hard labor."

Liu Fugui lowered his head tightly.

For these prisoners, they have always insisted that as long as they are not used, they will be used to death.

As for wages, it cannot be said that there is nothing, but that it is better than nothing.

Li Yi carefully compared the specific population of Sifang City, but only so many prisoners were detained, and there must be favoritism among them.

He can be [-]% sure about this, because he has cheated for personal gain in the first place.

But it can also explain in a certain sense that the security of Sifang City is really okay.

Don't talk about the road, don't pick up things, don't close the door at night.

But in ancient society, it was already very good.

"These people are all our local residents, and they won't run away even if they don't take care of them."

Li Yi understands that even if these prisoners run away, where can they go.

I have a family and a business in the local area, and if I can run a monk, I can't run a temple.

Even if hiding in the deep mountains and old forests is a dead end, it is better to stay in prison for a few years and then release it.

"Not only the labor of the imperial court, but also those aristocratic families in the inner city, or the wealthy businessmen in the outer city, will also ask us to help."

Liu Fugui said this very naturally and calmly, as if it should have been so.

Li Yi is not surprised by this, after all, so many people can't be raised in vain.

Otherwise, it will be a huge financial expenditure every year.

Only do the labor of the court, and the court does not give money.

If he doesn't do anything else, this Prison Division will not be able to sustain it at all.

But since these people are allowed to go out to work, there must be a lot of oil and water to be harvested.

The county magistrate must have taken the lead in this matter, and it is impossible for him, the prison chief, to let so many prisoners leave the prison.

And the oil and water in this, I am afraid, have also reached the hands of the county magistrate.

"This is the summer payment issued by the county government a few months ago. The villain has not dared to move."

Liu Fugui carefully brought over a wooden plate. On the plate was a stack of silver bills issued by the Shen family's ticket number. Each denomination was ten taels, and there were fifteen in total.

Take this silver ticket to the ticket number, and it can be exchanged for cash immediately.

Li Yi smiled slightly and stretched out his hand to take it, but he had to sigh in his heart that their county honoree is really a capable person.

Although they must have made a lot of money by taking advantage of their positions, for example, those wealthy businessmen who invited these prisoners to labor must receive money.

But if you eat meat yourself, you also let your subordinates drink soup.

Three years of Qing Dynasty prefect, one hundred thousand snowflakes of silver.

Although a bit exaggerated, it is not completely false.

What's more, he managed the Sifang City fairly well, the law and order were good, and the people could live on.

Even in a natural disaster of famine, it can last for several months.

That's hard to come by.

They, the county magistrate, made money and made money, but they did nothing less.

"Since it was you who was in charge of the Prison Division in the past, it will be you in the future. It's just business as usual."

Li Yi ordered in a deep voice.

He has no interest in managing these things, so it is better to practice well when he has time.

Anyway, as long as you sit in this position, your monthly summer bills or heating bills will not be less.

In other respects, you don't have to worry too much.

"This is Bingjing for the past two months. The villain didn't dare to move, and has been preparing it for you."

Liu Fugui brought over another plate of bank notes, this time it was much less, only five or sixty taels.

"Bing Jing?" Li Yi groaned, with a faint smile on his face.

"Yes, if the family members of the convicted prisoners want to see the criminal prisoners, or these criminal prisoners want to beat their teeth, they will give a filial piety if they change to a better cell."

What Liu Fugui said is a matter of course. For him, this is a very normal thing.

Li Yi was not surprised that they used this to make money.

"As for the money, the villain and other yamen will be divided into [-]%." Liu Fugui smiled.

Although they contributed to this matter, at most they were the ones who received it, and they did it.

But who made Li Yi a Shangguan with an official body.

The whole county government has officials, only the number of palms.

Li Yi can get the most money even if he doesn't do anything and just nod his head.

Not only that [-]% belonged to others, even if it was the remaining [-]%, they had to look at Shangguan's face.

"Oh." Li Yi nodded slightly and put away the money.

Accepting bribes to take advantage of power to make money, or don't do it yourself, do it properly and do it right.

Others are naturally blameless.

Since you have done it before, don't pretend to be an honest and good person now, just accept it with confidence.

"It's okay to receive money, but if you receive money from others, you have to do things for them." Li Yi explained.

As an official, taking bribes is a problem, but it's not a big problem, at least not in this day and age.

Although it is forbidden by the Great Gan Dynasty, one counts as one, and all officials tacitly understand.

You can accept money, but if you accept other people's money, you have to do things for them.

"Master, don't worry, I will only collect filial piety after everything is done." Liu Fugui patted his chest to assure.

After all, they have done so much that the prisoners are watching.If it fails once or twice, no one will pay for them next time.

"Well, what about the previous rules? The future rules will also be the same. Work hard, you won't be able to treat you badly," Li Yi encouraged him with a smile.

He doesn't intend to take things too seriously here.

Since these things can be solved by someone, it is useless to take care of yourself. If you have these thoughts, it is better to continue to practice.

As for the affairs here, it's good to take time out every day to solve it. Anyway, it's not too far from Wuhumen.

Thinking about him in his heart, he took a step and walked into a small building.

This small building stands on the left side of the Prison Division and is the only three-story building in the entire division.

The small building is quite elegantly furnished and very clean. I think it is often cleaned by someone.

There are ice fire ponds on both sides of the small building. When the weather is hot and cold, you can put ice and carbon to adjust the temperature.

On the first floor, a large open space was specially opened, and the equipment used for cultivation such as stone locks was placed.

If you want to practice in the future, you can practice here directly.

Just go to the Wuhumen Temple in the afternoon and think about the meaning of the sword.

"The previous boss has been dealing with affairs here. This is a case file waiting to be processed."

Just as Li Yi walked into the second floor, Liu Fugui hurriedly ran to a desk and took some silk paper.

The paper is of good quality, fairly tough, and lasts a long time.

The only downside is that it is more expensive.

Li Yi took it and took the opportunity to sit at the desk beside him.

Most of these are routine official documents. The prisoner can be released when his sentence is up, and which prisoners are newly imprisoned.

In addition, there are some daily affairs in the prison department.

Hundreds of prisoners eat horse chews every day is not a small amount.

These grains need to be transported from the official warehouse first, and he needs to sign the official seal before Liu Fugui and the others can handle them one by one.

Otherwise, they would not be able to get a grain of grain from the official warehouse.

"Go down first." Li Yi waved his hand.

Picked up those case files and read them carefully twice, after confirming that they were correct.

He got up and walked to the bookshelf beside him, checking and browsing past files.

After confirming that these are all normal transfer operations, he took out the official seals and covered them one by one.
