Zhou Yuan did not forget his job. He came to Lin'an Prefecture to report on his work. He could not stay in Mo Yun Zhai all the time.
It happened that the incident yesterday continued to ferment in Lin'an Prefecture, and Qu Ling also needed to prepare for the next trip, which gave Zhou Yuan some free time.
So the next morning, Zhou Yuan went directly to the Qianhu Office of Lin'an Prefecture.
This kind of place is certainly not suitable for taking Ziyuan with him. Zhou Yuan went alone and soon came to an alley.
The alley was very narrow, and at most only two carriages could pass side by side. On both sides were densely planted banyan trees, which had become large in size, with lush branches and leaves, blocking the bright sunshine.
Therefore, this road was quiet and cool, but it gave people a gloomy feeling.
The space at the end of the alley became wider. There was no inscription on the large archway made of black stone, but only embossed with auspicious clouds and fish.
There were guards standing on both sides, with cold eyes and extraordinary power.
Before Zhou Yuan got close, he felt the murderous aura in front of him. This aura was obviously incompatible with the prosperous city of Lin'an Prefecture.
"Who is it!"
The guard strode over, his right hand already on the hilt of the knife.
Zhou Yuan quickly took out his badge and said in a deep voice: "Century Zhou Yuan, I am here to report my duties."
The guard's face suddenly changed, revealing a flattering smile, and he bent over and said: "It turns out that you are the new centurion, please come in quickly, the captain has been waiting for you for a long time."
Zhou Yuan was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "What is this brother's name? Does the captain know that I am coming?"
"I am Gao Biao, and I am a small flag officer of the Jinyiwei."
This man is thin, with a pointed face and shining eyes. He smiled softly and said: "The document from the Southern Pacification Office arrived five days ago. The captain has been idle recently, so he basically stays in the station."
A flag officer, even the lowest small flag officer, has a rank.
As a centurion, Zhou Yuan is probably the sixth rank, and the small flag officer is probably the seventh rank.
In any case, he should not guard the gate.
This person is probably waiting for him here specifically. Is he looking for a way?
Zhou Yuan didn't understand Gao Biao's idea for the time being, but just nodded and said: "The Qianhu Office of Lin'an Prefecture is the most important branch in the south. It is said that there is one Qianhu, two deputy Qianhu, four Baihu, and not counting the flag officers, right?"
Gao Biao immediately said: "The Baihu Lord is right. Our Qianhu Lord has just taken office for half a month. It is said that he was transferred from Guangxi. He is a very wise old officer."
To be honest, Zhou Yuan was a little surprised. This Gao Biao in front of him was smart enough!
He was just transferred from Guangxi, which means that he has no foundation in Lin'an Prefecture and urgently needs assistants and confidants. He is an old officer and is very wise, which means that this person must not be a rookie, but an old fox who is very smooth in dealing with things.
He gave so much information in one sentence without leaving any trace. His level is very high!
It stands to reason that such a level should not be the position of a small flag officer. Could it be that he has no background?
Zhou Yuan smiled and said, "Brother Gao Biao, are you a native of Lin'an Prefecture?"
"No, I'm from Gaoyang County. I came to the south with my parents when I was young."
Gao Biao said slowly, "But I've been here for 20 years, and I'm very familiar with this area."
The situation is very obvious. Those who came here to escape famine are naturally poor families. They can only become small flag officers because of their own ability, but due to their background, they can only become small flag officers at most.
This person wanted to cling to someone and find a way to rise, so he targeted the newly appointed centurion.
He must have done intelligence work and knew that I took off from the ground and directly airdropped into the centurion.
This form of airdrop basically means that I can't be born a civilian and is worthy of joining.
So he ran to the door to stand guard.
Good guy, he has some skills!
Walking into the Qianhu Office and reaching the deepest courtyard, Gao Biao whispered, "The Qianhu Sir usually handles official business in the courtyard, so I won't go in. Please, Baihu Sir."
Zhou Yuan took two steps forward and suddenly turned back and said, "Wait here. I'm not familiar with this place. I need you to lead the way."
"Yes!"
Gao Biao was overjoyed and quickly bent down to respond.
He was happy because he found that this new Baihu Sir understood his subtext very well and should be a master. If he could follow such a person, he would have a bright future.
Zhou Yuan walked in, showed his badge, and was soon led into the west wing of the courtyard.
The room was clean and tidy, not luxurious, and filled with various books and files.
An old man with a faint bookish air and meticulously combed gray hair was quietly looking at the files.
Zhou Yuan instantly judged that the other party had no martial arts skills and should rely on his brain. He dressed ordinary but had a clean image and should pay more attention to decency.
To get close to this kind of people, you can't just talk about loyalty, you have to rely on practical actions."Zhou Yuan, sit down."
The old man pointed to the chair in front of the table and said calmly: "I have been waiting for you for several days. I didn't expect you to arrive in Lin'an Prefecture the day before yesterday. I guess the follow-up work in Yunzhou delayed you."
These words reflect his ability to control information and his understanding of Zhou Yuan, and also mean that he knows what Zhou Yuan did in Moyunzhai yesterday.
He is definitely an old fox, calm and cunning.
Zhou Yuan smiled and said: "I was busy with some private matters when I arrived in Lin'an Prefecture. I am sorry to make you laugh."
The old man waved his hand and said: "It is a good thing to have talent and learning. Jinyiwei has no shortage of reckless men. It is precisely what you need. You have a brain. I am also reading "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". It is very good."
Until this moment, he put down the file and smiled slowly: "I am Ye Mian, with the name Qingzhou, from Nanchang, Jiangxi, and have joined Jinyiwei for seventeen years."
Jiangxi has a huge influence on the official class of Dajin. It is an important place for imperial examinations and a prosperous culture. It is not surprising that such a person has emerged.
After joining Jinyiwei for seventeen years, the position of Qianhu is not low. After all, there are less than ten positions above.
Zhou Yuan's face was serious, and he clasped his fists and said: "I am Zhou Yuan, the new Baihu of Jinyiwei Lin'an Qianhu Division, and I meet Qianhu Ye."
Ye Mian smiled and said: "Don't be so serious, it's just a job report. We are all family members in the future."
"The monthly salary, job scope, standards of conduct, laws and regulations are all recorded in the booklet. You can read, so you must read it carefully and don't make mistakes rashly."
"In view of your previous investigation experience, I will put you in the Inspection Department to get familiar with it. I will take you to meet other people tomorrow."
He spoke slowly, gently and politely, with clear logic, and it was obvious that he was not easy to fool.
Zhou Yuan hurriedly said: "Thank you, sir, I will go now."
He walked out of the Qianhu residence, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, which was considered stable.
Compared to a ruthless and reckless man, he certainly hopes that his boss is this kind of old fox. Although it is a little difficult to deal with, the other party must be a rule-abiding person. Even if there are conflicts, they will fight within the rules.
And Zhou Yuan is fearless when fighting within the rules.
"Mr. Zhou, the Inspection Department is in Dongyuan, please follow me."
Gao Biao smiled and led the way in front.
Zhou Yuan then asked: "How much is the monthly allowance for a small flag officer?"
Gao Biao said: "The monthly allowance is eight taels of silver."
Eight taels, for the price of Lin'an Prefecture, living under ordinary standards, is still enough to support a family.
But it is only for support. If you want to go to restaurants and restaurants, or visit brothels by the West Lake, it will definitely not be enough.
As a small flag officer, he manages seven or eight people, how can he not spend some money?
Gao Biao was born in poverty and obviously lacks money.
Zhou Yuan smiled and said, "Lin'an Prefecture is a rich place, and the Qianhu Office must have sufficient treasury, and the usual rewards must be quite a lot!"
Gao Biao shook his head immediately and said bitterly, "Mr. Zhou, you don't know that the Qianhu Office hasn't paid salaries for four months."
"Why?"
Gao Biao said, "In the past few years in the Jin Dynasty, droughts, floods, and locusts have taken turns to hit the battlefield. All provinces and states are suffering. Although the court has reduced taxes, the situation is still difficult."
"Because of this situation, the funding of our Jinyiwei has also been reduced, and there are often problems with salary shortages."
Zhou Yuan nodded and stopped talking.
