I Don’t Want To Be the Emperor

Chapter 98 Subordinate Staff

The restaurant is also newly built. It was probably built too hastily. The one-meter-thick pillars supporting the beams are all crooked, and the stone floor is also full of pits.

However, there is only one decent restaurant in Ping Fung O, and people are constantly coming in and out all day long. Business is very good and it is very noisy.

 The sailors, salt owl, and pirates inside were all unruly people, and they were in small groups. They dared to cause trouble, but were not afraid of trouble. Especially after drinking two glasses of wine, they became more and more aggressive.

 Hence, there is never a day of peace in this restaurant.

Even the tables, chairs and benches in the restaurant are few and far between intact, and all of them have been repaired at first glance.

At this moment, about ten people from both sides were holding knives. They looked at Wen Qian who walked in and put away the knives without hesitation.

 When you are making a living at sea, you don’t need to know Du Sanhe. After all, this big boss doesn’t often appear in public, but you can’t help but know Wen Qian!

What's more, this great pirate who once roamed the seas has been recruited by the court and will soon become the commander-in-chief of Sanhe's new navy.

 At that time, there will be an additional official body, and the black and white, won’t he alone have the final say?

I simply don’t dare to offend him, I can’t offend him, I can’t afford to offend him!

 So, as long as you are not a fool, you should pretend to be a grandson at this moment.

Wen Qian looked at Lin Yi walking in and said loudly, "It's disrespectful to Prince He. Do you know what the crime is?"

"ah"

 “Death penalty!”

Looking at the young man walking in with his hands behind his back, the smart man immediately threw the knife on the ground and knelt down.

 Have one person set an example, and the rest will just follow.

A large number of people knelt down in front of Lin Yi, and even the waiter who served the dishes threw the dishes to the ground.

Lin Yidao, "Who has the final say in Pingfeng Ao?"

Wen Qian said, "Sanhe is the prince's Sanhe, and Pingfeng Ao is naturally the prince's final decision."

To put it somewhere else would be treacherous.

 The censor must read the previous book.

 But I’m not afraid in Sanhe.

 “Hey, what should we do if a crowd fights and causes trouble?”

Lin Yi’s voice was not loud, but everyone could hear it clearly.

Wen Qian said, "Of course he will be sent to a labor camp."

 He knows the laws of Sanhe by heart.

This prince is the one who keeps his eyes open. So far, no one who breaks the law has been spared.

Bao Kui looked coldly at the large group of people kneeling in front of him and said loudly, "Take them all away!"

 He is now both the deputy commander-in-chief of the Hewang Palace and the chief arrester of the Chief Secretary.

 The momentum and authority are naturally greater than before.

 Two guards came forward with swords, but none of them dared to resist. They were very disappointed.

Otherwise, I can show off in front of the prince and be as lucky as an Arhat!

 There is no telling which day we will become prosperous!

 “Quine up, no whispering!”

Han Deqing became angrier as he thought about it, and kicked a shirtless sailor who was still trying to pick up the knife.

The sailor just grunted, not daring to show any dissatisfaction.

 After Han Deqing drove more than a dozen people away, Wen Qian continued, "In Sanhe, you must pay for your life by killing someone!

Pay back your debts!

 Fighting and forced labor!

 I hope you will remember it! "

"yes!"

 This time, everyone answered neatly.

"Okay, that's all. I hope you all will obey the law and don't embarrass me."

Lin Yi said calmly, "If you make things difficult for me, you are making things difficult for yourselves."

 “The prince is a thousand years old!”

The room full of people waited for Lin Yi to leave before they dared to stand up and let out a big sigh of relief.

　　It’s not that this prince is so scary.

But the guards behind this prince are too scary!

 Find any one of them and beat them all!

 The newly built Shibosi is a two-entry courtyard.

　　Tijiu and the ministers are guarding the vacancy. Now there are only two clerks inside, kneeling at the door to greet them.

After Lin Yi entered, he took Mingyue's tea cup, drank tea, and opened the files on the table.

　　Then he said to the two clerks, "Go home and take care of yourself. I can't afford people like you."

 A thin clerk has to rush to speak.

 “Get money from this king’s pocket?”

Lin Yi said angrily, "It would be a mercy of me not to chop you down, so stop talking nonsense."

These people are called ministers in the clan mansion, cabinet, and Wenyuan Pavilion; they are called jingcheng in the ministries and yamen; they are called scribes or magistrates, zhaomo, and governors in the local yamen; and they are called treasury clerks in the shipping department or customs.

 Father to son, brother to brother, true hereditary succession, large numbers of people, collusion and fraud, and gimmicks, even those who are a little more powerful can eclipse the county magistrate and prefect of a place.

 The power of expropriation is in their hands.

Lin Yi has had quite a lot of contact.

I know all about their bad habits, and the most profound impression is that they are extremely rich!

 They are all **** rich!

 The emperor has a headache for these people.

We know the harm, but we cannot do without them. After all, the officials in the imperial examination only know poetry or current affairs, but have no knowledge of laws, archives, and economics. Without subordinate staff, political and economic activities will be paralyzed.

 So, we can only make restrictions.

As far as he knew, the secretary office in Ankang City only had a five-year term, and once the term expired, he would be investigated by the Military and Horse Division and deported to his place of origin.

 It’s just that there are policies from above and countermeasures from below.

 Under the nose of the emperor, I still deceive the superiors and conceal the truth.

They are in charge of the files. How difficult is it to change your own file?

We can no longer work at Wenyuan Pavilion. Wouldn’t it be nice for me to change my name and go to the Ministry of Finance?

Some book publishers work for a lifetime and make a fortune.

 There has always been a saying in the Liang Kingdom that "there are capable officials but no capable officials".

 “Thank you, Your Majesty!”

 The two clerks looked pale, looked at Shen Chuming's dangling sword, and finally carefully exited the room.

Mingyue took the account book and opened it carefully, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, this item of entry and exit is too perfunctory. I really have nothing to fear."

Lin Yi said, "Let's go back and select older children from school. I can trust them.

 You work harder and take them for a few days.

 They are not understanding of human nature, which is both a bad thing and a good thing. "

Mingyue bowed and said, "Yes, there are just some rules that I don't understand."

Lin Yi smiled and said, "What's the problem? We don't care what the rules of shipping companies in other places are. Just Sanhe's. The goods are only stored in Fangniao Island and there is no tax. Once you enter Sanhe, it's worth hundreds of dollars." Take one."

"I understand, my slave." Mingyue said with a smile, "This method is simple, but don't you want to collect the parking tax?"

"I won't accept it." Lin Yi said with a smile, "I have decided to turn this bird-free island into a free port."

Freeport?

  This is a word that no one has heard of.

 According to the literal meaning, everyone can probably understand it.

 However, I can’t tell why.

"As I said just now, I won't charge a penny for any ship that enters Bird Island, but if the goods want to enter Sanhe, I will have to charge money."

He is not sure what the specific definition of a free port is.

 However, this does not prevent him from redefining it.
