As the saying goes, a family with an elder is like a treasure. Bao Wenshan has been in Yuncheng for more than a hundred years, and he knows Yuncheng like the back of his hand.

Hearing his introduction to Shao Wanjie, Zhao Xing couldn't help but wonder: "Given the situation in Yuncheng, can he still be promoted all the way? He was promoted to the third level in ten years and also served as a county captain. This means he went to the sixth level. It is quite rare. Could it be that he

Did you make any big contribution to Cloud City?"

Bowen Shan sneered: "Contribution? He did make a lot of contributions, but these contributions were all for the higher authorities."

"Shao Wanjie started making money as soon as he took office. Apart from the temple, there is no one in the Fifth Division of Yuncheng that he has not reached out to."

"Whether it's the quotas distributed from above or the taxes paid from below, he has to go through one step."

"At first it was just a small amount of greed, but later it became a big case of greed. Let's take up more than half of it!"

"He also often mobilizes people from various departments to do private work and uses officials at all levels as private soldiers!"

Zhao Xing turned over the accounts submitted by Zhang Zhong and shook his head.

Among the shortfalls noted by Zhang Zhong, there are many accounts that are very wrong. The previous page was full payment, but the next page became shortfalls.

What's the reason?

The field taxes paid by the agricultural supervisor must first be sent to the county government warehouse for storage, statistics, and review, and then transported to the prefectural city at the end of the year.

However, the warehouses of the county government were subject to fires, earthquakes, and flooding every year.

Well, it’s understandable that Yuncheng’s terrain is dangerous. After all, this place can be breached from time to time, and a fire in a warehouse is not a big deal.

Then there is the transportation from Yuncheng to Fucheng, which is mostly on rivers. Shao Wanjie sent people to transport by water every time, but it was lost every year.

Don't ask, just ask: the boat capsized on the Canglan River and the heavy loss of money and food was caused by a natural disaster and not by human fault.

That's what he said, but a natural disaster, capsizing the ship... isn't this just a secret attempt to blame the agricultural supervisor and Tiangongfang?

Therefore, Ling Yuan, the chief officer of Tiangongfang, should logically be in the seventh rank. However, under Shao Wanjie's control, he was only in the eighth rank. The Si Agricultural Supervisor had been the chief officer of the eighth rank for several years.

Didn’t the previous Dosui Ling and Workshop Director give feedback?

Feedback is useless, Shao Wanjie has a very hard background and there is a chain of interests behind him.

If you can’t solve the problem, can’t you also solve the person who raised the problem?

As a result, Shao Wanjie was completely dominated by people who were transferred away and downgraded.

After he fed the people above him, he not only rose through the ranks, but also nominally held the position of county captain, and actually controlled the four divisions except the temple.

There was not much money left in Yuncheng, so this man began to think of ways to make money elsewhere.

Ling Yuan's Tiangongfang is not full of people because most of them were transferred to the Fengming Mountains for prospecting.

So the question is, how tough is this person’s background?

Bao Wenshan thought: "I heard this man brag that he claimed to be a disciple of the King of Liang, and his direct subordinate was Liu Junliang, the fifth-rank prime minister. Liu Junliang recommended this man for many promotions."

"In addition, he was originally a member of the Black Dragon Guard, the private army of King Liang. It is said that he served as deputy commander, but I don't know whether it is true or not."

Zhao Xing was stunned: "Prince Liang? Are you talking about Prince Liang Ji Mingxian of Luliang Prefecture?"

Bowen Shan nodded: "Exactly."

"No wonder he is so arrogant." Zhao Xing suddenly realized, and the deeds of this Liang Wang emerged in his mind.

Ji Mingxian, Prince of Liang, was a rare first-class prince. He was the ninth son of Emperor Wen and the youngest brother of Emperor Jing's mother!

In the early days of the reform and opening up, Liang Wang Ji Mingxian served as the commander-in-chief of the armed forces for a period of time at the end of the war, and later presided over the establishment of Jiutian Yingyuan Mansion.

He was deeply favored by Emperor Jing. The war was almost over and he asked Ji Mingxian to be the commander-in-chief of the three armies. He also presided over the establishment of Jiutian Yingyuan Mansion. Isn't this act of picking peaches just out of selfishness?

However, this King of Liang, who had numerous honors and was courteous and gentle on the surface, actually had hidden ambitions. Shenwei Hou Yang An voted against Liang King Ji Mingxian when he succeeded him as commander-in-chief of the armed forces.

If you stand in the wrong team, the consequences will be serious. Originally, Yang An was going to be promoted to the first level of Shenwei Marquis in terms of merit, and the rewards from the center were planned. However, after Liang Wang took office, he found an opportunity to deliberately make the Shenwei Army make mistakes.

Yang An was reduced to a third-class county prince, the Shenwei Army was also disbanded, and his team was dispersed, leaving only one title.

However, for some reason, this beloved and favored King of Liang, who had been blessed with countless honors, united with the Nanman and the sect monsters to rebel in the last years of the Jingxin calendar.

"It seems that Shao Wanjie is a vassal turned official, but it is impossible for him to be the commander of the Black Dragon Guard. At most, he is just a soldier."

Bowen Shan asked in surprise: "How can you see it?"

Zhao Xingdao: "The Black Dragon Guard is one of the three elites of King Liang. If Shao Wanjie retires as the leader, there is no way he can only arrange for a seventh-grade civil servant to go to a ghost place like Yuncheng."

Bowen Shan cupped his hands and said, "It's better for adults to know better."

Of course Zhao Xing knew better. In his previous life, he had joined King Liang's Black Dragon Guard and had rebelled with King Liang. He didn't know what happened at the time. He thought he was really the master of the Ming Dynasty and joined the Liang Dynasty with his brothers.

The king's team wanted to overtake in a corner and gain the advantage of following the dragon.

I thought this was an existence like the 'King of Yan', but I didn't expect that a fight would actually start, and this person turned out to be the 'Emperor Jianwen'. He was exterminated in two and a half years, and even the Fangwai sect and Nanman who helped him called him Caibi.

.

After thinking about it, I found out that Emperor Jing was fishing and luring this young man to take the bait. Unexpectedly, he actually did the opposite.

After catching the fish, Emperor Jing was also very sad. The rebellion of King Liang was also one of the important factors that caused Emperor Jing to end Jing Xin Li in a hurry and start concentrating on creating humans.

"What do you plan to do? If Shao Wanjie doesn't leave, if you want to control the flood, it will be like dancing with shackles." Bowen Shan said.

"How to do it? Report it, of course." Zhao Xing picked up the account book and walked out.

Shao Wanjie only had white gloves, which had nothing to do with Prince Liang. Once they were dirty, they could be taken off easily, but others could not report them. Master Zhao was different.

He originally thought about meeting Shao Wanjie, but now it seems that there is no need to meet him.

Unexpectedly, just when Zhao Xing was about to write a letter, Shao Wanjie sent someone to the agricultural supervisor.

"The county magistrate was busy with official duties yesterday. After learning that Mr. Zhao took office today, he immediately held a banquet at his residence to welcome Mr. Zhao." A middle-aged scribe handed over the banquet card.

"I am also very busy with official duties. Please reply to Mr. Shao. I really can't go." Zhao Xing didn't even raise his head.

The middle-aged scribe said calmly: "Zhao Sinong has just taken office, and he may not even recognize everyone. How can he be so busy with official duties? My lord is very sincere."

After Zhao Xing finished writing the official document, he blew the ink and said sincerely: "I am really busy, I won't lie to you."

"Look, I can't even write down the sins of your family in this memorial."

Middle-aged scribe: "..."
