Chapter 262
Kang'an City has nine gates, three gates in the east and west respectively. The Yanping Gate in the southwest is under the jurisdiction of Jiang Erye of Xicheng, Kaiyuan Gate in the northwest is under the jurisdiction of Qiao Zengzi in the north city. The east and west long streets connected by the Jinguang Gate in the west and the Chunyang Gate in the east and west are the dividing line between the North City and the West City.
When the military horses in Suzhou enter the city from Jinguang Gate, who should maintain public order and clear the streets? This time, you can send the military horses directly to Taipu Temple, and maybe you can see them. This is a decent errand with showing your face.
Mr. Jiang Er saw Qiao Zengzi's desire, so he made an invitation under the table and signaled him to ask him to ask for this job. Qiao Zengzi was very grateful and hugged his fists under the table. After the prefect finished speaking, he took the initiative, "Don't worry, the official will definitely lead people to clear the streets, restrict pedestrians, and ensure that the army and horses are safely sent to Taipu Temple."
Seeing that Jiang Feng had no intention of fighting, Zhang Wenjiang was very satisfied. After saying a few more words, he said, "Mr. Jiang has a good governance of the West City, and his reputation has been passed down to the Golden Palace. He was praised by the emperor. You should use Jiang Feng as a model and be diligent in self-restraint, so that the people of Kang'an City will not pick up the remains of the road and do not close their doors at night, which is well-known."
"Yes." The commanders of the other four cities responded in unison.
Mr. Jiang quickly stood up, "You are not afraid to take credit for me. It is because you teach me untiringly that your subordinates will be enlightened. When the emperor praised you, the subordinates also told me this way."
Liao Gang...
"It's also Lord Jiang's intelligence. With a few tips on our mansion, we can learn from one example and learn from other things." Zhang Wenjiang smiled quite pleasedly. He didn't expect that Jiang Feng had just three months into office, so he had such a big face in front of Wansui and his ministers. Who doesn't like such subordinates?
The master Zhou Qiwen, who was standing behind Zhang Wenjiang, also kept nodding. It was not bad, very good. Mr. Jiang did this job better than he thought. His second brother really followed the right person this time.
Gao Yonghu, the commander of Nancheng who was robbed of many businesses in Nancheng, asked in a loud voice, "Mr. Zhang, have you ever wanted to ask Lord Jiang for advice? "
Zhang Wenjiang nodded, "It is a good thing to interact with colleagues and learn from others' strengths and avoid one's own weaknesses."
Gao Yonghu is not polite, "Mr. Jiang, I heard that you promised half of your La to the officials in the Xicheng Yamen. Is there anything wrong?"
There is no airtight wall in this world. Mr. Jiang did not hide it, and said with a bitter face, "Yes. I am not as good as you, and I can only rely on the officials in the yamen to do more work, so I made this bad decision to grit my teeth and cut my flesh."
After hearing his words and seeing his painful expression, the others finally felt a little balanced. The biggest investment for the officials at the end of the year was Lafeng. According to convention, the commander of the Five City Military Commanders at the end of the year was 300 taels, and Jiang Fengxun paid 150 taels, which was indeed a cut of his flesh.
Du Maoshen of Dongcheng asked, "Mr. Jiang's move is indeed unique. What Du wants to ask Master Jiang is, how do you restrain the rogues in the West City?"
This is also one of the most concerned issues for everyone. Everyone stared at Mr. Jiang and waited for him to speak. Mr. Jiang said sincerely, "The gangsters are the most rogues and do not listen to the rules. Just imagine, what are they doing in the market all day long?"
"I'm lazy to eat!"
"Crack down!"
"Fight fiercely!"
“…”
Everyone talked about the hateful things of the gangsters, and hated them deeply, but they could do nothing about it. Because they kept making big mistakes, they caught them and made some fines, and they still acted the same after they went out.
After listening to everyone patiently, Mr. Jiang said, "After all they want is face and money. After discussing with the officials of the yamen, Jiang set up controls in the west city and arrested them all into the yamen to scare them..."
"How could they take this trick? Everyone is honest and ask for advice. Isn't it appropriate for Lord Jiang to fool like this?" Liao Gang said immediately.
Mr. Jiang smiled and said, "Mr. Liao, don't be anxious, let's talk about it slowly. After terrorizing these people, he also gave them two ways to make money: one is that some vendors in the West dare to cheat and cheat. As long as they are stolen and sent to the yamen, they will hand over half of the fines for merchants to be rewarded; the other is that whenever there are thieves entering Xicheng for stealing, abducting, etc., they will be rewarded according to the severance of the thieves."
Zuo Yuanliang from the Central City Military Police said, "In this way, wouldn't the yamen take out a large sum of silver to support them?"
"What Lord Zuo is thinking makes sense. However, the rascals are far more familiar with the market than you and me. With them helping to clear the market to capture the thieves, the market will be peaceful and the people will live and work in peace. The business of the vendors will prosper, and the taxes will be paid. If you calculate carefully, you can still pay for it." Mr. Jiang Ershi explained.
Everyone was thinking, and Liao Gang continued to pick the secrets in the eggs, "Isn't this move of Lord Jiang to let the gangsters steal the errands from the city patrol officers and the captains?"
Mr. Jiang Er said with a righteous spirit, "Mr. Liao, the rascals are also the people of my Great Zhou. Officials should love the people as their children, and give them a clear way to return to the right path. What's wrong with it? If after several months of experience, they can take on the responsibilities of the city patrol officers and soldiers and heads, we will recruit them into the yamen. The extra staff can be used for other great uses, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"
Liao Gang was speechless by Mr. Jiang. Another young minister of Jingzhao Prefecture, Zhao Minde, stood up and bowed, "Listen to you, your words are better than reading for ten years. Lord Jiang has good thoughts and righteousness, and Minde admires it very much."
Mr. Jiang quickly bowed, "Mr. Zhao has carefully read the major case files that have been tried in the past three years. You can always chase the murderer through clues that have been ignored by others. The official admires you very much. If Mr. Zhao can have half of your work, he will not give La Feng to He Daobin."
Everyone laughed loudly when they heard this. Zhang Wenjiang was quite satisfied with the results of today's discussion. He said a few more words and let everyone disperse.
It was time for lunch, and Qiao Zengzi was very interested in the way Jiang Erye managed the West City. He wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to invite Jiang Erye for lunch to ask him for advice. Unexpectedly, Jiang Erye stayed in the room and talked to Lord Zhang, so Qiao Zengzi had to take the lead.
In the conference hall, Mr. Jiang Er stood in front of Zhang Wenjiang with a smile on his face, "Sir, I have something to ask for, please agree."
Zhang Wenjiang was immediately alert, "What are you talking about first?"
Mr. Jiang took a step closer and lowered his voice, "Xiaoguan wants to go to the death row prison. Ask Meng Er why he hates Xiaguan so much."
Today's opportunity is rare, and Mr. Jiang wants to take advantage of Zhang Wenjiang's happiness to try his attitude. If this time fails, there is another time. If it doesn't work, he will bribe the prison chief without passing Zhang Wenjiang's level!
"It's all trivial matters, it's better not to ask about it." Zhang Wenjiang would not answer the death row prison.
Mr. Jiang looked at Zhang Wenjiang and said sadly, "My Lord also knows that after the death of Xiaguan's wife, she only left two daughters and one son for Xiaguan. They are the lifeblood of Xiaguan. Meng Er hated Xiaguan so much that she wanted to Liu'er's life, which made Xiaguan confused and frightened. Xiaguan wanted to know what he was thinking, whether other people in the Meng family hated the Jiang family so much. If they didn't ask, Xiaguan would be unable to sleep or eat. You also know that Xiaguan's grandmother, father and wife had passed away, and Xiaguan could no longer bear the grief of the death of his relatives."
