Ten Dragons Take the Inheritance

Chapter 72 Are They All Poor People?

bother!bother!bother!Yin Zuo is a bit annoying today, of course he is not bothered about Zhili's government affairs. He has already left Zhili territory at this moment, and is about to arrive at Qingjiangpu (now Huai'an City) where the Yamen of the Chief Department of Rivers is located. Zhili The matter has nothing to do with him; let alone the matter of the White Lotus Sect. Parents and officials from all over the country are naturally busy with those matters. A member of the Bailian sect; what troubles Yin Zuo is that the old man employs people too harshly, he wants the horse to run without giving the horse grass.

It stands to reason that Yin Zuo solved two major cases in a row—the Zhili governor’s corruption case and the Bailian Sect riot case. He could get a reward no matter what he did, and he could even get a holiday or something, but the old man was lucky, so he rewarded him with "" I am so relieved" and that was the end of the matter, let Yinzuo continue the work on the river, and sent the fourth brother and the eighth brother to preside over the Zhili case.

Hey, the fourth brother is in charge of the household department, and the eighth brother is in charge of the criminal department. We don't have any objection to having these two brothers thoroughly investigate the case. Although there are some suspicions of picking peaches, we didn't intend to take the credit for it. I understand that it’s a matter of balance among my brothers; we also agree with the appointment of Yu Jackie Chan as the governor of Zhili. Although he is younger than Jackie Chan, although he is not as old as Jackie Chan in terms of ability, he is also an extremely clean official. He wants to engage in shipping for us. It is also very beneficial; but it would be too much for us to continue to work on the river, and we are not mules. We have just fought a battle here, and before we can catch our breath, the old man over there is urging us to go on the road. Not kind.

The Tianjin Wei [-] case, although we have suffered a bit, we have also reaped some benefits: Although the death of the guard who was originally intended to be cultivated is mostly a troublesome thing, but fortunately, that boy Liang Size survived. He also delivered the memorial in time, which is considered a great achievement. The old man rewarded a fourth-rank guerrilla for his pleasure, and released it to Yantai, Shandong, and Li Ke was promoted to a general, so we can count in the army Second, I made a deal with the fourth child and transferred dozens of accountants (experts in checking accounts) from the Ministry of Accounts. Right now, I am not afraid to go to check the account of the general manager of the river. The matter of the prefect of Tianjin can be regarded as a little clue, as long as there is no accident, this vacancy should also be taken.

The benefits are not without, but that is what we got in exchange for our lives, and there is nothing to be happy about. Besides, the other brothers are sitting firmly in the capital, and the benefits are not less than us, and they are all busy going to Zhili. The site is stuffed with our own people, but the problem is that there is no reason for everyone to sit in the capital and watch the excitement, so we are just sent to dig sand in the river work. The river work is very deep. If we accidentally plant it, who will blame?Yin Zuo was unhappy, no, he had been nesting in the cabin for several days, and he didn't even have the leisure to go to the deck to breathe.

Qingjiangpu, the seat of the river governor’s yamen, has a royal warehouse under the management of the Ministry of Households and four water shipyards under the management of the Ministry of Industry. Water transport ships passed by, so a large number of passengers had to change the transportation mode of "ships from the south to horses from the north". It has been a prosperous transportation hub and commercial city since the Qing Dynasty.The second stop of Yinzuo's trip was Qingjiangpu, and it was also the stop that worried Yinzuo the most. No, as soon as Yinzuo stepped out of the cabin, he was startled by the group of officials who came to greet him.

What is this trick?Beggar meeting?Before the boat docked, Yinzuo saw Dong Anguo, the governor of the river channel, and Sang E, the governor of the water transport, leading a group of officials, big and small, waiting on the pier early. This should have been the case, but the problem is that this group of officials, from the two governors down to the little officials patrolling the river, are all covered in dust, not to mention their official uniforms are wrinkled, and there are many big and small With a small patch, you can play a beggar without makeup.

It is said that the rivers are rich and the water transport is rich. None of the officials of the river workers and water transport have long hands, and they are all very rich. Why are they all beggars now? Could it be that beggars are popular today?Depend on! , Dong Anguo and Sang E, these two veterans are old Hanlin, no matter what, they don't know that the imperial court wants face, so they can't lose all the dignity of the imperial court. What are these two old fellows doing? trick?Yinzuo was full of doubts, but he got off the boat with a smile on his face, read out the imperial decree as usual, and exchanged greetings with the official. : "My lords have worked hard for the country, hard work, hard work, I admire you deeply, hahaha..."

"It should be, it should be, the prince has come all the way, and the officials and others are far away to welcome them, and they hope to forgive their sins." Dong Anguo was born as a Jinshi in the 12th year of Kangxi, and his qualifications are higher than that of the 15th year of Kangxi. , although the two are at the same level, he has to answer first.

Yin Zuo smiled and said nothing, Sang forehead said with a smile on his face: "The story of the prince's defeat of the bandits of the White Lotus Sect has already spread across the country, and the bravery of the prince really admires the officials. In my Qing Dynasty, there are such talents as the prince. It is indeed the blessing of the imperial court and the luck of the common people..."

Depend on!This old man Sang's flattering skills are really top-notch, virtuous?Could it be pickles?Damn, this guy is the second child's servant, and now he is flattering us so hard, I'm afraid he has prepared bricks for us behind his back, none of these old bureaucrats are fuel-efficient lamps.Yinzuo murmured in his heart, but smiled very kindly on his face: "Master Sang is too famous. This king just succeeded by luck thanks to the wiseness of the Holy One. The two adults are upright officials. This king has heard about it for a long time. It’s really like this when I saw it today, I admire, admire.”

Dust cleaning feast?Well, this one has to go, this boat has been sitting for a long time, and the beak has faded out. No matter what, I have to eat it for a while, right?Yinzuo and the group of bureaucrats flattered each other on the pier, settled down at the post station, and Xinxinran was ready to have a big meal.In his previous life, Yinzuo heard a lot about Huai cuisine as one of the eight major cuisines in China. He had longed for it for a long time, but he had never tasted it.
This is the cleansing banquet?Yin Zuo's eyes were wide open, and his face was full of doubts: there were a lot of people, and there were twenty or thirty tables full of officials, big and small, and there were not many dishes. It is vegetarian, even if it is meat, the shredded meat is so thin that you need to use a magnifying glass to look for it, and the wine is even worse, not to mention the 30-year-old Nuerhong, even the stuff bought for two coppers on the street is better than this The wine will be stronger later.

Depend on!Play me?You can't pretend to be this kind of virtue even if you pretend to be poor, we are imperial envoys.Damn, this screwdriver is so courageous.Yinzuo's face immediately sank, and he was about to curse...
