Zhenguan Chang'an Xiaofangzheng

Chapter 98
Fan Zheng put on a Li Yifu-like smile on his face.

"Guazhou is more than 3000 miles away from Chang'an?"

Kan Teng chuckled nonchalantly: "No matter how far away, there must be a supervisory censor to go! Will the censor Fan Zheng go?"

The dispatch of superiors and managers cannot easily refuse, because they have the right to speak, and they can write about you as heinous with a flick of the pen.

Things should be true, after all, now that Xue Yantuo is sitting in a big place, swallowing many places in the declining and chaotic Turks, and the border with the Tang Dynasty is expanding day by day, friction is inevitable.

"It's not impossible for me to go to Guazhou. It's just that the holy order has not yet completed the thorough investigation of Du He. Should this task be handed over to Yushi Kan?"

Fan Zheng struck back with a knife.

Don't say that Du He's business is over, Fan Zheng can't stop talking about it.

From the beginning to the end, what Du Hezhi served was the emperor's oral order, and he didn't put it into words, and he didn't go through the three provinces, leaving Fan Zheng with a lot of leeway.

Fan Zheng's guess is that Li Shimin wanted to beat Du He who was so arrogant, but he didn't want to keep the handle in court.

After all, it is an established policy for the princess to marry Du He, not only to reward Du Ruhui for his achievements, but also to win over Du Qu who is close at hand!
Among other things, the Du family in Chang'an, there were eight prime ministers in the entire Tang Dynasty!

Even if the Tang Dynasty implemented the group phase system, it is surprising enough.

Kan Teng's face froze for a moment: "That's right, the newlyweds, it's because I didn't think about it. Taifu Temple East City Administration needs to check it out, why don't you go and have a look?"

It's okay to cheat Fan Zheng, but the premise is to take over Du He who has a headache, so forget it!
That lunatic was probably the one Fan Zheng dared to provoke.

As for the East City Administration, it's just a process. How many supervisory censors are willing to stay in the chaotic market place and listen to the noise of chickens and donkeys?

……

At noon, Dongshi beat three hundred drums and officially opened for business.

It was really surprising, Fan Zheng originally thought that the East Market was like a vegetable market in the aftermarket, opening in the early morning.

It turns out that in the famous Dongshi City of Tang Dynasty, only afternoons are open!

If you visit Dongshi carefully, you will find that the local planning is relatively neat. There is one place for selling animal charcoal, and one place for selling large animals. Paper books, medicine shops, grain shops, woodware, and ironware are all divided into categories to form a relatively unified market. .

Outside the yamen of the Dongshi Administration, a Dongshi Shi is in charge of large and small scales, and weighs for the common people. This is the Tang version of the fair scale.

On the shelf behind Dongshi Shi, there are patterns of horizontal knives, hunting bows, bamboo arrows, and wooden arrows.

In the Tang Dynasty, folks were allowed to own composite knives and bows, unlike the end of the Sui Dynasty, when even steel forks were banned.

The knives and bows on the shelf are the ones established by the Dongshi Administration, and the name of the craftsman is engraved on each piece. The knives and bows that do not meet the standards on the shelf are not allowed to be sold.

"You Qinjiao, you don't feel numb at all, call it a day!"

A Shucheng, a Dongshi Shishi, and a Zhanggu took out a bag of Qin peppers from a condiment shop, followed by merchants screaming for land.

Fan Zheng revealed his identity, grabbed a Qin pepper from the bag, threw it into his mouth, chewed it a few times, and spit it out casually, telling them to continue their work with a dark face.

What the hell, non-numbing Qin pepper, can it be sold for money?

It's just being taken advantage of!

Or, did the merchant want to mix this Qin pepper into the top-quality Qin pepper and sell it for a good price?
The crowd of onlookers burst into "colorful" sounds, and even a few people who were tricked by the merchant came forward to speak out.

No wonder merchants don't welcome them, a rat droppings spoils a pot of soup, and the proportion of rat droppings among merchants is quite high.

"My lord, what should I do? I bought a hundred catties of wax gourd for the master's family, but it ended up being fifteen catties short!"

A maid is wiping tears.

If you are short by two catties, you will definitely be suspected of stealing it when you go back. The owner's horsewhip is indispensable, and it is even more likely to lose your job and ruin your reputation!
A capable Dongshifu walked out of the Dongshi Office and stood in front of the maid: "What's the use of crying? Let's go, take me to find that merchant!"

After a while, the servant woman came over with a smile on her face, holding a winter melon that the merchant had compensated, and thanked the Dongshi government non-stop.

Dongshifu smiled and waved his hands: "The existence of our Dongshifu is to make the transactions of the people as fair as possible. This is our duty."

Lu Yisheng vaguely heard something, and whispered in Fan Zheng's ear, "Why did you add the word 'try your best'?"

I have grown up!

Fan Zheng didn't move, and his lips parted lightly: "Because, even the current emperor can't be completely and absolutely fair. In the same dispute, there must be a difference in the treatment between the children of Yuan Cong and the children of ordinary nobles, and we can try to be as fair as possible." , is already the best result.”

This Dongshifu, who speaks impeccably and acts impartially, should not only have a bright future as a foreign official.

Dong Shi Ling rushed out, smiling and crossing his hands: "The supervisory censor is here, why don't you say anything? If the official did not see it, I would not know about it."

Fan Zheng smiled lightly: "They are all acquaintances, so there is no need to play tricks. Isn't it nice to watch the fireworks outside? Among other things, at least the Dongshi Administration is pragmatic and makes decisions for the people, which is worthy of recognition."

If you want to say that the Dongshi Bureau has nothing to do with it, Fan Zheng won't believe it, at least the Yintan Ranger back then had connections with the Dongshi Bureau.

But on the bright side, the Dongshi Administration is still remarkable.

The office in the office still has the smell of cattle and horses coming over. Dongshi Ling laughed and said: "They are buying and selling slaves, cattle and horses over there. The office will issue certificates through public inspection, and buy presiding certificates to go to the local government for naturalization."

In the public inspection of the Eastern Municipal Bureau, there is a way to talk about it. Is there any tricks in it, haha.

Cao Shen, the second Prime Minister of the Western Han Dynasty, said that prisons and markets are places with the most bad people.

Sitting down, cooking tea soup, Dongshi Ling never mentioned the matter of Fan Zheng sending animal charcoal back then.

At that time, Fan Zheng was a small Fangzheng, and at most he could add a literary official, but now he is a supervisory censor that even the servants are afraid of, so it is not appropriate to mention the dirty things of the past.

Many people always like to talk about Shangguan's past, thinking that they will be favored by Shangguan, but they don't know that some Shangguan looked back at their past self, what the hell?
This is not a mentality that is universally applicable, but there are indeed many people who think this way. Meng Jiao's "the past is not enough to boast about" is a clear proof.

The authority of the Municipal Administration is actually quite large.

The utensils, weapons, and vehicles are not up to standard, the thickness of the cloth is not correct, the color is not correct, the grains and fruits are not fully ripe, and the animals are not grown enough to be slaughtered, so they are not allowed to be sold.

But if you want to say that the middle scale is not elastic, it is not necessarily true.

Raise your hand, maybe some things that are reluctant will pass, but you have to give people a reason to raise your hand, right?
Fan Zheng tasted Dongshiling's tea soup, feeling a little anxious, just like Dongshiling's mood.

After all, the East City Administration is a serious business organization. Although the busy work is trivial, you can't ignore it!

"Cows and horses...is there anyone selling horses that shouldn't be sold?"

Fan Zheng asked with a smile.
