Zhenguan Chang'an Xiaofangzheng

Chapter 629
Wu Baizhi, a member of the judicial army, interrogated the officials, with a mixture of anger and helplessness on his face.

The word "tricky little official" is really correct.

They did evil only this year.

It's no secret that Emperor Zhenguan's dragon body is in poor condition. What outsiders can't grasp is how bad it is.

The petty officials dared to act recklessly based on scraps of information, but they were not without any thought.

If the past can be covered up and a new king comes to power, no one will be able to hold on to the bad things of the past;
If you are defeated and thrown into jail, you can escape quickly when the world is amnesty.

Anyway, it was not a heinous crime, so Fan Zheng knew their plan and was helpless.

The death penalty is not enough, not even exile.

Apprenticeship, up to three years;
Rod, up to two hundred.

Fan Zheng is a court official, and he can occasionally increase the punishment, but he cannot increase the punishment every time, which may easily lead to criticism.

Therefore, these officials who commit crimes are real victims, and there is nothing you can do against them.

Torture during interrogation?

It was useless, they didn't even eat the killing stick, they just shook out all their sins.

He admits his guilt, accepts his punishment, and knows the government procedures thoroughly. This is the characteristic of Guanyouzi.

Whether you call them cunning or the wisdom of little people, in short they are just seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages.

There is repentance, not why they reached out, but why they were taken advantage of by Lu Chengye, Wo Hedui.

Never believe that a weasel will regret eating a chicken.

Haoqiang was somewhat unconvinced, and Wu Bai invited them to taste Yongzhou Facao's various techniques, such as drinking dogwood powder, and the strongmen immediately confessed their guilt with tears in their eyes.

Blessed is the powerful man who invited Wo Hedui to eat a stick. He can go to Huanzhou to eat dragon tooth bananas, eat lychees and longans, pillow on jackfruit, look at thick-lipped beauties, and kiss big female mosquitoes, all year round without having to cover himself with a quilt.

Killing an official to rebel was always a serious crime. Even if Wo Hedui only received a beating, it was considered an extrajudicial mercy if his family was not killed.

In any case, this light snow alleviated the drought a little bit and also relieved Fan Zheng a little bit of his anxiety.

Wu Bai took a sip of the tea soup prepared by Guo Jing. He shivered from the sourness and felt more energetic.

"Don't drive, the Mincao has insufficient manpower. Xin Shenjun took away most of the Mincao officials plus 24 Bai Zhi. The manpower is still stretched."

Although the weather is cold, Fa Cao always needs someone on the road. Yongzhou's twenty counties are so vast that there is indeed a shortage of manpower.

"Send all the bad guys and knives."

Fan Zheng ordered Tang Yidian.

The bad guy Lu Chengye can be used, but of the fifteen sword holders, only Fan Zheng can be used.

This is a guard of honor that only court officials can enjoy.

Tang Yidian responded, but said nothing even though he felt it was inappropriate.

Once you get used to it, don’t just do what you decide.

Tang Yidian himself was not very capable and could not put forward effective opinions. Over time, he simply remained silent and just carried out the implementation.

This is also the reason why Fan Zheng took Tang Yidian away from Taichang Temple.

Wu Baizhi was surprised: "How to do it? Don't drive around, you must be guarded by a sword."

Fan Zheng waved his hand carelessly.

It's just a guard of honor, is it important?
There was Shanxiong from Lushifu in front to clear the way, and Lei Qi and others behind to protect each other. It was safe enough, and there was no need to make changes at every turn, shouting from the front and supporting from the back.

Fan is a local official, not a street cleanser.

Tang Yidian quietly complained about Jiang Baizhi's trickery: "This time, we recruited fifteen medical students, but not one of them came from Dunhuafang, Wannian County. Medicine is really crossing the river and burning the bridge!"

Don't blame Tang Yidian for his slander, Fan Zheng asked Jiang Baizhi to take care of a Dunhua resident.In Tang Yidian's view, Jiang Baizhi has forgotten its roots!

Fan Zheng smiled and said: "Just calm down first. When explaining to Dr. Jiang, my premise is 'as much as possible', not force."

"As a doctor, if you don't have talent, you must not force it. Otherwise, sawing the left leg into the right leg will harm others and yourself."

If he has time, Tang Yidian should learn from Lu Chengye and improve his own level. The governance of Yongzhou is not as good as that of Huazhou.

Fortunately, Wei Yinyang, who joined the army as a recorder, had a sharp eye and helped Tang Yidian from time to time, so that he would not show his timidity.

"Remember, you are in Tang Zhizhong now, and your energy needs to be enlarged. There are specialties in skills. If you don't understand something, try to let someone who understands do it for us."

The last sentence was tailor-made for Tang Yidian.

After all, Tang Yidian was willing to be Fan Zheng's pawn, so it was not appropriate to chill his heart with harsh words.

Tang Yidian drank the tea soup that was completely unappetizing in one gulp, his brows twitching with joy as he kept saying yes.

Tang Yidian knew his own abilities very well. It was extremely difficult to reach the fifth level. If he was in the fourth level, hey, wealth and honor depended on others. How could he be half-hearted?
"Money and food will be tight in Yongzhou next year." Tang Yidian said a very real difficulty.

The drought has had a slight impact on yield reduction, but not much.

Fan Zheng's increased investment in medicine has certainly given the people under Yongzhou more chances of survival, but it is also a burden.

Angelica, ginseng, pinellia, velvet antler, musk, etc., which one should not cost a lot of money?

Excellent medical engineers, in addition to talent and academic studies, also rely on practice and practice. Talking on paper is not enough.

Do you understand why apprentices in ancient times always had to work for their masters for several years at low wages?
The initial investment is often not affordable by the apprentice. The master usually bears these extravagant expenses, so the cost must always be recovered.

As for squeezing, that's human nature.

Human nature is rarely either good or evil, and good and evil are often entangled.

The biggest gap in Yongzhou next year is at the end of the talisman.

The imperial court needed a large number of civilians to transport grain and grass to the Anxi Protectorate, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs' Pixiu was reluctant to give money. The talisman was worth the wages, so naturally a large number of them were issued.

The talisman came from the people to the cabinet, and from the cabinet it offset the taxes and levies of Taifu Temple and Yongzhou. Yongzhou used the talisman to offset the money and grain turned over to the Ministry of Civil Affairs and Sinong Temple, completing a cycle.

Among them, only the Minbu and Aifang benefited, while Yongzhou and the people were inevitably harmed.

The harm to civilians has been mentioned before, and the harm to Yongzhou is that the money and food that should be received becomes a piece of paper, and it is extremely difficult to cash it out.

If medicine requires the purchase of medicinal materials, do you think the drug stores are willing to accept the talisman as payment?
The tinkling copper coins, don’t they smell good?

Or, do you think that if you go to the border and Tibetan countries with a talisman to buy medicinal materials, people will admit it?

No, they only recognize Kaiyuan Tongbao!

It is difficult for a rich man to be a man without money, and the same applies to Yongzhou.

"According to your and Wang Fu's calculations, how big will the cash gap be next year?"

Don't think about using the talisman to enter the counter in exchange for a temporary position.

The cabinet shop is a place that eats people without spitting out their bones. The overlord goes in and the bastard comes out.

"If you don't say anything, it will cost you a thousand guan."

Tang Yidian felt uneasy. As the most trusted Zhizhong, he couldn't help others solve their problems. How incompetent!

Fan Zheng closed his eyes and knocked on the table.

"Let it go, Yongzhou will buy several carts of white sheep (sheep) wool next year."

Tang Yidian felt vaguely uneasy.

In this era, wool was basically a crude product such as felt, which had a strong smell. Although there was a small profit, it might not solve Yongzhou's difficulties.
