The heavens start with letting the bullets fly

Chapter 495 Small patrol visits the prefect (2)

"No wonder, no wonder!" Gao Liangyu laughed loudly and said, "I was reviewing official documents yesterday and rested a little late. As soon as I got up, I heard magpies calling on the branches, and I knew there was a welcome visitor. It turned out to be you, Inspector Chen. Come here! Come with me to the living room, today there is Dragon Well Tea before the rain, you and I have a drink together."

Chen Zhaodao: "I didn't think about it, but I disturbed the magistrate's rest, sin, sin!"

Gao Liangyu chuckled and led the way.

Along the way, Gao Liangyu behaved not as a powerful prefect of a state, but as a master of a wealthy family.

In fact, he was born in a Gao family in Nanyang. He has been rich and honored for generations.

Every move, even Lin Ruhai, who was born in a noble family, could not be so elegant.

In the living room, the host and guest were seated, and a maid stepped forward to serve the tea. Gao Liangyu took the initiative to push the tea in front of Chen Zhao, and said with a smile, "Inspector Chen, please drink tea."

Chen Zhao stood up to greet me and said, "My lord has worked hard for the country. I just got up and you are still chatting with me in such an elegant manner. But it is wrong for me to be my magistrate."

Gao Liangyu laughed loudly and said: "I am old and useless. If this were ten years ago, I would drink ten kilograms of strong liquor in one night, and the next day I would still travel across mountains and rivers to understand the sentiments of the people."

Chen Zhao raised his eyebrows, but he knew that Gao Liangyu was talking about his feat when he was young.

After some polite words, Gao Liangyu put down the tea in his hand, his eyes fell on Chen Zhao, and he said seriously: "I don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. Inspector Chen came to visit today, but what advice did he give?"

Chen Zhaodao: "How dare you give me advice to the magistrate? I was ordered by the salt patrol censor to come here to discuss what happened yesterday."

Gao Liangyu was slightly angry, but he also breathed a sigh of relief.

What made him angry was that he, a young man, came to his magistrate to discuss important matters as a low-ranking official.

Is your level good enough for me?
If it weren't for the fact that you are an outstanding figure in the world, I wouldn't have come out to see you.

The meaning of the sigh of relief is that the saber of the patrolling salt censor's yamen has been withdrawn, and he is looking for his own official to be a peacemaker.

Although he, Gao Liangyu, was also deeply involved with the Yangzhou salt merchants, he was decisive and resourceful. From Lin Ruhai's official behavior in the past two months, he could infer today's events, so he had already cleaned up everything.

But even so, he was also shocked by yesterday's killing and the defection of two thousand households to the Lin family.

Hearing that Chen Zhao's words had the intention of withdrawing the knife, he naturally felt very at ease.

Thinking of this, he asked: "Talking about yesterday's incident, I want to ask Chen Xinxun. Yesterday, the salt inspection censor's Yamen arrested so many people at once and confiscated so many merchants and scribes. I don't know what to do with those people." How to deal with it?"

Chen Zhao said with a light smile: "These people are ignorant of the law, evade taxes, and are suspected of colluding with Japanese pirates. The patrolling salt censor yamen is ordered by the emperor to supervise the salt administration in Yangzhou, and has the right to deal with it by special plane! Presumably the magistrate Your Excellency should have seen the official document."

Of course Gao Liangyu had seen that official document, but every salt inspector who took office would have a similar official document, but none of the salt inspectors had done this.

Without him, the local power is too great, binding the hands and feet of the censor, so that he is unable to return to heaven.

Only then did Chen Zhao's sharp blow completely shock everyone yesterday, and they realized that Yangzhou had changed.

Gao Liangyu's eyes fell on Chen Zhao, he stroked his beard, and there was a hint of wisdom in his eyes. He nodded and said, "Since the inspection of Yan Yushi's Yamen has made a decision, then I can feel at ease. If Lin Yushi If there is any need for the help of the official, Chen Xunjian can just speak up!"

Zhang Heqing and Han Xiaozhong looked at each other, and subconsciously looked at Gao Liangyu. He didn't expect that Gao Liangyu had no intention of persuading Chen Zhao, and even supported Chen Zhao. handsome?
Gao Liangyu sat there, seeing the reactions of the other two yamen, he snorted coldly in his heart, and then sighed.

As a high-ranking person, you must be ruthless when you should be ruthless.

Although Chen Zhao said that those people were suspected of colluding with Japanese pirates, it was definitely a slander.

But it is said that they evade taxes and evade taxes, but none of them escaped.

But if we continue to dig deeper, none of the confiscated salt merchant families will have their hands covered with blood. Even if they are all killed, there is no injustice at all.

But if we really dig deeper, I'm afraid half of the people in Yangzhou City will be implicated, and the entire government will be wiped out.

If it really comes to that point, he, Lin Ruhai, is just a salt patrol censor. With the gold and silver offered by him, he can safely change his position and continue to be an official.

But he, Gao Liangyu, and the entire Yangzhou officialdom, plus the Liangjiang officialdom, are afraid that the world will collapse!
The emperor had just come to power and was worried that there would not be enough places for the people he wanted to recruit.

The so-called protection between officials was also for the sake of his own future. Gao Liangyu could only go down the steps given by the Yushi Yamen.

Thinking of this idea in his mind, Gao Liangyu couldn't help admiring Lin Ruhai more than ten points.

In just two months, he was able to have such a deep understanding of Yangzhou, and then he had enough strength to take action. He was worthy of being the first official appointed by the emperor to go abroad!

When Gao Liangyu was thinking about these issues, Chen Zhao smiled softly: "The magistrate has a high position in the house, and the subordinate officials admire him very much. In the future, the emperor will favor him, his official career will be prosperous, and he will join the cabinet and worship the prime minister. I'm afraid it won't be a big deal."

As he spoke, Chen Zhao murmured, "Speaking of which, the censor of Xunyan ordered the officials to do something that requires the help of the magistrate!"

Gao Liangyu stroked his beard showing some curiosity and said, "Oh, I don't know if Lin Yushi needs my help, but please speak up."

Chen Zhao said slowly: "Your magistrate also knows that a dozen salt merchants and gentry's homes have been confiscated during this tour of the salt censor's yamen, including gold, silver and jewelry, and they will be transported to the capital to present to His Majesty." That’s right, but there are a lot of acres, shop land deeds, etc. that have been copied from these families..."

Gao Liangyu raised his eyebrows and said, "What does Yushi Lin mean?"

Chen Zhao smiled slightly and said, "Yangzhou's discoloration was caused by the actions of the inspector's censor's yamen yesterday, so it is necessary to know that the adults of the government will come forward and invite some dignitaries and gentry, and the inspector's salt censor's yamen is going to sell the confiscated fields and shops at market prices." [-]% of them are for sale! In addition, there is one more thing for the patrolling Yan Yushi Yamen to ask everyone."

The high-ranking housekeeper standing nearby heard this and his eyes lit up.

As the housekeeper who takes care of the trivial affairs of Gaofu, he certainly understands the business opportunities here.

It is not convenient for the prefecture to come forward, but the executives can find a third party to help. If they can buy some acres and shops, then resell them, it will be almost half of the huge profit.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at his master eagerly.

Gao Liangyu, who was born in the Gao family of Nanyang, was naturally aware of this. He pondered for a moment, then nodded and said: "Since Lin Yushi has the attitude of stabilizing the place, I, as the magistrate of Yangzhou, naturally have no shirk in my duty. It is not as good as my duty in ten days." I ordered someone to hold a banquet at Kaifeng Tower in Yangzhou. When the time comes, Censor Lin and Inspector Chen will bring all the land and shop title deeds with them. I think everyone will not disappoint the Yangzhou Censor Yamen."

Chen Zhao said with a smile: "With the words of the magistrate, we can feel at ease when we patrol Yan Yushi's yamen!"

Zhang Heqing and Han Xiaozhong turned their eyes back and forth in front of them, constantly listening and chewing on the profound meaning of their words, but they did not dare to breathe.

The two of them also realized that although this Chen Zhao was behind Lin Yushi, he talked with the prefect Gao Liangyu as an inspector, and he was not at a disadvantage from the beginning to the end.

Thinking of this, and thinking about it, I can only be the king among the fans and the hegemony in the dandy circle. It's not like someone who is in the officialdom, killing people like hemp, talking and laughing.

As a result, the hearts of the two yamen to follow Chen Zhao became stronger.

Watching Chen Zhao leave, Gao Liangyu turned around and walked into the mansion. When he passed by the housekeeper, he heard his instructions: "I will leave it to you to handle the banquet in ten days. Who should send invitations to?" , I will give it to you in these two days."
