Chapter Sixty Seven Nine
In the past three years as the county magistrate, Gu Jing hated the decentralization of power of the Maritime Bureau. In addition to resting days, he must get up early every day to go to the hall! Even the magnificent magnificence of the subordinates and the six-bedroom squads kowtowed to him was not as good as the pain of Mao! It’s a pity that he had just closed his eyes and hadn’t slept for long!
However, there was an inspector and censor living in the official hall. Even if Gu Jing was tired, he could only force himself to get up. After washing his face over and over again with the cold well water, he wiped his body cleanly, washed up and ate something randomly, and went to the front yamen with some energy. What surprised him was that the three and six rooms that usually had to be scheduling were already neatly arrived, and there was a chair next to the county magistrate's head seat, and Wang Fulin sat there with a big sword.
Wang Fulin actually got up earlier than him and came earlier! After all, young people are better. No wonder they can pass the Jinshi exam. They are more important than him, and their official rank is as big as him, but they are much more powerful than him!
Gu Jing felt quite envious and jealous, and hurriedly stepped forward to say hello and salute. Seeing that Wang Fulin had no intention of blame, he then sat on the main seat. In the following morning, he had always been lazy and procrastinated, and dealt with some miscellaneous things as quickly as possible. Finally, he slapped the exclamation and said, "Wang Xunzhang had just returned from Haojing, and said that he had encountered a major case. Last night, the county welcomed Wang Xunzhang into the city and placed the victim overnight, and was scheduled to try the case today. Before that, the county had a sign to Haojing, asking about fraudulent transactions, abducting prisoners, etc., and the punishment room was planning a ticket, and the fast team went to Haojing to hand over it!"
But as soon as he finished speaking, he heard a solemn voice coming from beside him: "Wait a minute!"
Gu Jing was almost shocked by this sudden sound. When he saw that there was no anger on Wang Fulin's face, he calmed down a little, but hurriedly bowed and asked, "What instructions do you have for Wang Xunwang?"
"The teachings are not discussed, but since County Magistrate Gu wants to send someone to Haojing to check the signboard, then let me take my writing together."
Gu Jing was a little worried that Guangdong and Fujian merchants in Haojing would gather in a lot of places. If his card tickets were passed, perhaps those wealthy merchants would obey or even obstruct them in order to maintain the transaction with Folang Jiren. So he would lose face as a county magistrate Wang Fulin, the inspector of the inspector. He was immediately happy when he heard that Wang Fulin would also write along. But before he could say good words, he heard Wang Fulin continue to say: "Benxian took advantage of the lobby of County Magistrate Gu. I will write immediately. I wonder if it is convenient?"
"It's convenient, of course it's convenient!" Gu Jing nodded without thinking. However, the officials at the lower end knew how to make fun of it. The county magistrate grind ink and the chief clerk lays paper. When Wang Fulin wrote, Gu Jing didn't even need paperweight, but stood beside him to stretch the paper. Seeing that Wang Fulin picked up the pen without adding points, he wrote a piece of writing in a short while. His expression became strange when he saw the bottom of his head.
This was not written for those Folang Ji people, but for the dozen companies in Haojing who opened businesses and had the largest business operations! Wang Fulin actually summoned these merchants to send representatives to Xiangshan County to discuss the important matters in the name of the Guangdong Censor.
Gu Jing was not very optimistic about this matter. You should know that since he took office, Folang Ji people have given him regular and regular orders. However, although the merchants from Guangdong and Fujian also gave gifts, they all sent a manager. The real representatives stationed in Haojing have never come to Xiangshan County, let alone go to the county government. It is said that this rule has been persisted for decades. Even his predecessor, Zhou Xing, who was known for his integrity and ability, and even entered the Famous Official Temple, could not do anything to those merchants when he was in office.
He was wondering if he wanted to remind Wang Fulin that these Guangdong and Fujian merchants rely on their financial resources to truly unite, and even the governors would give them three points. And to a large extent, they could affect the imperial decrees. Zhu Wan, who was fighting against the Japanese in the southeast, had a great military achievements but died injustice because of excessive correction. But at this moment, he saw Wang Fulin take out a copper seal of one inch and five minutes square from the tip of his waist, dipped it in bright red ink paste and covered it directly.
It is the seal of the inspector Guangdong Supervisor Censor! Wu Youwang, deputy inspector of the Haojing Inspection Department, used to be too small, directly regarded Wang Fulin as an inequality official because his seal was too small. However, he did not know that the seal of the inspector Censor was so big since the beginning of Hongwu. For example, Gu Jing's county magistrate's seal was two inches and one cent square, which was a little larger than Wang Fulin's bronze seal, but at this moment he stared at the large seal that Wang Fulin was collecting in the brocade bag, and was willing to give all his money to exchange.
That's the inspector's censor. Although there are so many inspector's censors in the Censorate, there are still very few people who can truly get the position of inspector's position. Moreover, the power of the inspector's censor is too great. Whether it is the prefect or the county magistrate, they must respect each other. They don't have to bend their knees when they see the governor in the local area. It's like walking with the Shangfang sword mentioned in the play.
The most important thing is that after he was appointed as the county magistrate, he still didn't know whether he could be elected an official. Even if he could continue to rise in his life, he would not be able to get such a small seal! But secondly, if he could submit to the preferences of the inspector's censor, the other party would recommend him to the next level, and he would immediately move forward. Moreover, Gu Jing was from Xingtang County. In the early years, he heard his father mention the famous Xingtang County magistrate Shen Chong. Others offered the inspector's censor to heaven. However, this person was simply welcomed, but met an upright person to commend his political achievements. After the term was over, he happened to be vacant in Lu County and was transferred to the position of the acting position. He was promoted to the supervisory censor not long after.
This is a role model for us! Of course, he dared not learn from Shen Chong's example of simply receiving the inspector's censor. After all, Wang Fulin is young and must hate others' negligence in not treating himself as a matter.
Wang Fulin didn't notice Gu Jing's gaze. After the ink was dry, he handed over the official document to Gu Jing, and then left directly on the grounds that he was tired from the journey.
When he left, Gu Jing quickly called the officials of the torture department to come up and write the tickets, and then chose them. Finally, his eyes fell on the county magistrate and the chief clerk. He smiled and asked them to go on this trip in person. For such outrageous requests, even if the two officials were reluctant to go to Haojing, the officials were killed by the first level of the official, and no one dared to disobey the chief clerk. In the end, he had to bite the bullet and agree. As for the person, Gu Jing had to carefully select ten of them from three classes and six rooms, repeatedly told them to do something and come back again, and that they would almost have someone to issue a military order.
As soon as the morning class ended, Gu Jing didn't have time to pay attention to the case that was about to be tried in Wutang, and only asked Mr. Cai and the official clerk of the criminal room to check and sort out the case files. However, he hurried to Wang Fulin to show his attention. Although he had put a lot of effort into the arrangement of the magistrate's house, he was for his own use. This time he hurriedly asked Wang Fulin to live there, and he had only time to change to a new bedding. I don't know if he liked Wang Fulin, so after asking for a meeting, he immediately apologized. But just as he focused on testing what the inspector's preferences that could determine his future, Wang Fulin suddenly changed the topic.
"The yarn used on the curtain on the bed last night seemed a bit unusual, so County Magistrate Gu is very tasty."
When he heard Wang Fulin praise his taste, Gu Jing immediately danced: "Wang Xunzhang praised it. This is soft smoke, light weight and good color. In places like Guangzhou Prefecture, it is most suitable for covering windows. It is like a layer of smoke, with the most artistic conception. Those Folang Ji people in the Haojing are also very fond of them. They are the best sellers, including silver red and rainy sky blue. The officials are wronged."
Gu Jing suddenly felt cold sweat, thinking that he was showing off his wealth in front of the inspector and the censor, or telling him that he knew the trading market of Folang Jiren very well? He looked at Wang Fulin's expression, but found that the other party seemed to be stunned. While breathing a sigh of relief, he immediately secretly warned himself to act cautiously.
Wang Fulin was not thinking about anything else, but the words "Soft Smoke" Luo! Didn't that be used by the old lady in Dream of Red Mansions to paste the window for Daiyu? It turned out that there was really! But after thinking about it, he extended the information revealed in Gu Jing's words.
Gu Jing is just a county magistrate. Even if the soft Yanluo's tent was temporarily replaced, it can be seen that the other party really has such a good thing. It has to be said that Hao Jing is less than a hundred miles away from Xiangshan County. He will get the moon near the water tower. As the county magistrate, he really has a lot of benefits. As for those merchants, let alone those who have made a fortune.
It’s just that ordinary people don’t enjoy much benefit, and the court has not gained much benefit from this trading port. Whenever Guangdong uses troops, compared with the huge military expenses of hundreds of thousands, Haojing’s tax accounts for only 100,000 yuan. The only benefit is that the Portuguese finally became a lot more honest after seeing the consequences of the Japanese pirates along the coast. But the traitor who helped the barbarians cheat their own people before, is not an isolated case, and the Folang Ji people secretly cheated and cheated. Ma Shizhaizhe also complained to him before, saying that it was Folang Ji people who didn’t take it seriously at all.
Therefore, when Wang Fulin heard Gu Jing still desperately asking whether there was any inconvenience in accommodation and diet and his preferences in decoration, he finally couldn't help it. He was not interested in going around in circles and asked directly: "Dare you ask the magistrate Gu, you are going to try the people I brought yesterday at lunchtime, but have you asked about the corresponding process in advance?"
Gu Jing smiled without thinking: "Please rest assured that the governor Wang Xun was asked by the official Cai Shi Ye, Deng Si Li and others to ask."
However, seeing Wang Fulin's sudden frowning, his heart suddenly stumbled, and he realized that he was flattering. The victim and suspect brought by Wang Fulin himself were not in a hurry to figure out the case first and then try it out. He was still here just to understand the preferences of the inspector's censor. He jumped up quickly and said with ashamed face, "It's the official who is really confused for a moment, so I'll go and ask in person!"
Seeing Gu Jing burning his eyebrows and leaving after he left, Wang Fulin had to suppress his anger. No matter what era, he was the best treasure for many officials to be officials, especially those who were old and old, and his bad habits could not be eliminated. On the contrary, when he took office, he was confused and didn't know anything, after he tasted the great political achievements, he would grow up like flying, such as his own lucky father-in-law.
He really didn't like Gu Jing, who was shocked and had no responsibility, no courage, and liked to guess. But even if an impeachment was removed and replaced with a new one, he might not be able to change a good one. It would be better to investigate and make do with it while doing it. Even a piece of broken jade that looks dim and dirty on the outside, maybe it can be polished and polished to make it a little more climate? There is no old saying that jade cannot be made into a weapon without being carved, and it just happens to give Gu Jing a try.
After all, he could not have been in Guangdong as desperate as before. It seemed very powerful to impeach ten or eight corrupt officials in one memorial, and would be famous everywhere he went like Lei Jigu, but it was a reputation that people would stay away from him!
Perhaps it was because Wang Fulin had just seen his face. In Wutang, Gu Jing, the county magistrate, really showed his strongest combat power, and was decisive in his killing. When Huang Tianren was still trying to make a quibble, he was furious and threw a sign out of the hall, and asked Zaoli to drag the person down and hit the five small boards. When the big buck teeth with the skin and flesh were dragged up again, there was no trace of concealment, and he told the truth immediately.
It turns out that he colluded with the fake Captain Franco, namely Victor, to lure small merchants to sell goods at a high price, and then tricked people into the ship to take advantage of both people and goods. Because they were all looking for small merchants from small places, they have succeeded three times so far. Unexpectedly, this time they suddenly failed because they bumped into Wang Fulin!
"County Master, the little one is lard for a moment, and the little one deserves death." Facing the fiery gaze of the three little businessmen who escaped from death, the big buck teeth moved their knees uneasily to hide, and then kowtowed twice and said pitifully, "County Master, the little one has old and young one, but he was deceived, so he came up with this worst, the little one is really."
But Gu Jing didn't have the heart to listen to this guy's nonsense and kept paying attention to Wang Fulin's face. When he saw the Guangdong Inspector Censor's face was furious, he immediately slapped the auspicious wood without thinking: "Clever words and nonsense, come on, drag this stubborn guy down and hit the five more boards!"
Dabiaoya never expected that the county magistrate would beat him. Thinking of the great suffering he had just suffered, he was immediately distracted and hurriedly begged for mercy. But those soap lilies who were like wolves and tigers didn't care about him. In addition, he colluded with the barbarians to harm his own people, and this action was even more rude. Seeing that he was about to drag him out to the platform and beat him again, Huang Tianren was so anxious that he could slam his heels against the threshold at the last moment he was dragged out, and started clamoring wildly.
"County Master, County Master, to be honest, those who were tricked into that boat to trade first are still alive and should not die! Victor thought that he would make a profit if he had a penny, so he filled the people in the bottom cabin and was ready to sell them to the manor in Luzon or Manraga, which would be worth a few dollars!"
