The heavens start with letting the bullets fly

Chapter 475

After receiving the documents, Chen Zhao naturally went to report to the supervisor - the Governor's Office of the Salt Transportation Department.

The name of the governor of the Salt Transportation Department is Liu Xiangshan, who belongs to Lin Ruhai—of course, he is actually the emperor's person, and was assigned to Lin Ruhai by the emperor.

Since he was on his own, the work went smoothly. Chen Zhao met easily, exchanged some pleasantries, and then went to the exclusive small courtyard where Yan Ding inspected.

Here, we can briefly introduce the general division of labor of the Salt Patrol Yamen.

The Yanyan Yushi Yamen is a subordinate organization of the Ministry of Household Affairs. It is all transferred to the branch of the Salt Transport Commissioner. It is in charge of the Lianghuai salt affairs, responsible for management, taxation, salt introduction and other work.

The patrol salt censor is naturally in charge of the overall situation, equivalent to the head of the local salt tax bureau, who can intervene in everything, but rarely handles specific details.

There are governors, general judges, ambassadors and the like below, and each is responsible for his own affairs.

When it comes to the duty of inspection, it is not a single one.

Chen Zhao was only the salt inspector in Yangzhou City. In the Salt Inspector Yamen affiliated to Yangzhou, there were actually thirteen salt inspectors. Together with their respective salt field ambassadors, they were responsible for the major salt fields in the Lianghuai area.

Chen Zhao's inspection is similar to the detachment leader of the Salt Public Security Administration. He can independently or assist his superiors in investigating salt smuggling cases, and provide investigation results and various inferences.

Although it is not as prestigious as knowing the facts and passing judgments, the Yanding inspection team also has the right to investigate and cooperate in illegal salt cases.

Any private sale of salt, whether it is one stone or two stones, or hundreds of stones or thousands of stones, once found out, must be reviewed and passed by him before the case can be finalized.

Less gossip.

When Chen Zhao arrived at the small courtyard dedicated to Yanding inspections, there was already a group of lower-level officials waiting to meet the new boss.

The inspection of Yan Ding has already started from the low-ranking official position of the ninth rank. Naturally, the officials below him are not officials, so they are not qualified to act presumptuously in front of Chen Zhao. It's hard to say.

After receiving the official seal, Chen Zhao stood on the steps in the courtyard. Before Deputy Inspector Sun Xiaodong stepped forward to ask questions, he said, "Master Sun, don't talk, I understand everyone here."

"Kong Mu Zhanghuai, Kong Mu Li Lang, Kong Mu Yuanhai, Kong Mu Tong Guoqiang, assistant leader Zhao Qianhe, assistant leader Yu Xiaowan..."

While looking at his subordinates, Chen Zhao read out the opponent's name.

"Am I right?" Chen Zhao finally said.

Deputy Inspector Sun Xiaodong hurriedly said: "Your Excellency is right." '

"Since I didn't call the wrong name, then I know everyone. Before I do business with you, let me say a few words. I am a person who is easy to get along with, and difficult to get along with. The premise of being easy to get along with is If you want to do this salt job, don't do the same thing as me. We Master Lin are ordered to rectify the salt affairs, so everyone wants to make money and accumulate family business. It's easy to talk about it. When the time comes, the silver rewards will continue to be distributed Come down. Work for a few years to ensure that you will earn a lot of money."

"I'm difficult to get along with, because the person who pissed me off, I will not only destroy his job, but also ruin everything about him. When the time comes, all the cries of the old and the young will not work. Because the whole family will accompany you neatly."

While speaking, his eyes swept over everyone's faces: "Okay, I have a document here, and I have someone copy it for a few minutes, so everyone can take a look at it, Mr. Sun, please send it to everyone."

While talking, Chen Zhao took out a stack of documents from his arms and handed them to Deputy Inspector Sun Xiaodong.

The latter quickly distributed them to the officials one by one.

"You are all talented people in Yangzhou City. Those who can work here are literate. I will give you two sticks of incense time to read the above content carefully. After two sticks of incense sticks, I will come back and continue to the next step."

After speaking, Chen Zhao turned and went into his room.

This small courtyard is naturally owned by the government office of the chief official.

The time for two sticks of incense passed quickly. Chen Zhao opened the door and came to the yard. He still stood with his hands behind his hands and said, "The time for two sticks of incense is up. Do any of you disagree with my idea?"

Kong Mu Zhang Huai lowered his head and remained silent, the other Kong Mu Li Lang opened his mouth and shut up, as if he didn't understand, but I just didn't say anything.

Everyone has come here, they have served many bosses, and they are clear about the affairs of the yamen. They have also experienced capable officials and mediocre people. They have seen all kinds of people. It stands to reason that for new officials It is also commonplace to have three fires in office.

But this young new inspector is not small. If it is really done according to the document, it will be a big adjustment for the Yanding team, and it cannot be changed simply by cleaning up a few people. Yan Ding's leaders can't help but have a headache.

The entire salt team has its own agenda, and behind every Kongmu and Co-leader there is the support of a big salt merchant. If the adjustments are made according to Chen's inspection, it will be the Yamen and the Saltmen who will benefit. The co-leader may also make a lot of money, but he will definitely offend the wealthy salt merchant family behind him.

So someone is upset.

The first to speak was the official Tong Guoqiang.He first bowed slightly, then took a step forward, and said, "Master Inspector... Should we discuss this matter again, or listen to the opinions of Lord Censor and Lord Governor before making a decision?"

Tong Guoqiang's voice fell, but Chen Zhao didn't rush to speak.

Co-leader Zhao Qianhe said: "Tong Kongmu is right, our paperwork is the second most tired thing. This is related to the daily operations of the Salt Patrol Censor Yamen, so we need to be cautious."

The others nodded in agreement.

Of course, there are those who add "yes" and some who don't, some with loud voices and some with soft voices, and they all have their own little calculations and their own concerns.

Behind it is Lin Ruhai. Lin Ruhai came here to make money for the emperor. This is not something a small official like them can contend with, so they will drag the entire yamen into the water and make things big.

Anyway, when things get serious, the salt merchants behind them will turn everything into a mess.

What can a green doll do?

There was a trace of sweat on Sun Xiaodong's forehead. Although he was a deputy inspector, he was self-aware and always cautious and followed every step. He never made a mistake. However, he was not stupid. He knew that these nominal subordinates were actually Dear gentlemen, if you are not convinced by the new inspection officer, we are working together to give him Tai Chi to make him a stumbling block.

"Have you finished? Is there anyone else to add?"

Chen Zhao glanced across the faces of everyone present.

No one said anything, they were all waiting.

He clapped his hands gently, and several people immediately poured in at the entrance of the courtyard.

He pointed to the first few people who spoke and said: "Tong Guoqiang, five days ago I had a drink with the gangster Zhao Xiaojin in a restaurant. During the period, I gave him 300 taels of silver. Two days ago, he helped you kill the shopkeeper of Yongfeng Store. It is for your convenience." To seize his family property, thinking that you are having an affair with his wife..."

"Chen Zhao!"

Tong Guoqiang's complexion changed drastically, he rushed forward and punched Chen Zhao, shouting, "You slandered me!"

Chen Zhao kicked him in the abdomen, knocked him to the ground, and said calmly: "The Yangzhou magistrate's agents should have arrived at the Yushi Yamen. If you have anything to say, go to the magistrate's Yamen to explain it. In addition, your Kongmu The identity has been withdrawn...'
