Yu Chunqiu has never been an official, but he has read many official novels and films and TV series. In addition, Yu Chunqiu is good at observing. After working in the yamen these days, he has a rough understanding of the "rules of the game" of the officialdom in Foshan yamen.

But it's not enough.

More detailed information is required.

Yu Chunqiu specially collected information about the Admiral, including where he is from, what kind of personality he has, and what his preferences he has...

Be a good official who is upright and pleads for the people?

Yu Chunqiu also wants to.

But reality does not allow it.

Yu Chunqiu knew very well that his "destiny of official career" was in the hands of Shangguan.

A senior official crushed people to death.

Not to mention the admiral level.

If the Admiral wanted to deal with Yu Chunqiu, it would be as simple as killing an ant. It was just a matter of one sentence.

Yu Chunqiu spent another two days investigating the situation of vegetable vendors in Foshan.

In the Foshan Concession, the vegetarian dishes eaten by foreigners are all supplied by these vegetable vendors.

However, the pricing power is no longer in the hands of vegetable vendors.

Foreigners buy vegetables at extremely low prices. To be honest, vegetable vendors sell vegetables to foreigners, chicken, duck, fish and meat, and it is not profitable.

Write a plan.

Yu Chunqiu said in his heart: "It's time to see the Admiral."

...

Yu Chunqiu was a yamen runner, but he was not qualified to meet the admiral.

It was Yu Chunqiu who used silver to buy the guards of the Admiral's Mansion that he was able to enter.

I have to say that the money is really good.

As long as you have enough money, more than 90% of the problems in the world can be solved. There is still 10% of the problems that cannot be solved, because it is definitely because there is not enough money.

The admiral sat in the living room, took a sip of tea, and said contemptuously: "Boy, you want to meet this admiral? Tell me, what's the matter with this official?"

Yu Chunqiu said: "Yu Chunqiu has met the Admiral. Sir, the young one is here to send you silver."

The admiral's eyes lit up.

Have money?

The admiral came to Foshan to be an official or a military officer. He had no other way to make money except drinking blood from soldiers and deducting soldiers' military pay.

Seeing Yu Chunqiu's poor look, the admiral sneered: "Give me a silver. How much money can you give me?"

Yu Chunqiu said: "Not much, there is still 30,000 taels of silver a year."

Thirty thousand taels of silver are not small amounts.

The admiral came to Foshan for almost two years, but he had only received more than 10,000 taels of silver.

The income of 30,000 taels of silver is still the same every year. How can the Admiral not be moved?

Yu Chunqiu felt that the admiral's eyes turned red.

The admiral said seriously: "This is true? Boy, if you deceive me, do you know what the outcome will be?"

Yu Chunqiu said: "The young one dare not deceive adults."

Yu Chunqiu took out the plan and handed it to the Admiral.

The admiral took the plan and started reading it with a puzzled look.

Yu Chunqiu's plan is very simple, which is to integrate all the vegetable vendors in Foshan to form a monopoly, and then increase the prices of vegetables, chicken, duck, fish and meat, and sell them to foreigners to earn high profits.

The admiral finished reading the plan.

It's a plan.

Completely feasible!

But if you want to offend foreigners, the admiral was a little hesitant.

Yu Chunqiu knew the admiral's concerns and said, "Sir, you don't have to come forward to this matter, let the younger one handle it. The younger one has been studying for a few years and knows foreign literature. I can deal with foreigners. The older one just needs to secretly support me and check in the cash behind the scenes."

Bang.

The admiral slapped the table, stood up and said, "Yu Chunqiu, you are a talented person. If you can accomplish this, I will not treat you badly. Tell me, what do you want?"

Yu Chunqiu said without hesitation: "Admiral, I want to be promoted. I want to be the head of the yamen."

Yu Chunqiu is self-aware. He does not have a big talk, but just wants to be a head-catching. A higher position is an official of a rank, and the admiral may not be willing to help Yu Chunqiu.

How big a thing the admiral thought was.

Just being the headmaster of the yamen?

Easy to deal with.

The admiral said, "I will arrange for you to be the chief inspector of the yamen."

Yu Chunqiu said respectfully: "Thank you, Admiral."

The admiral said, "Don't rush to thank me for the first time. If you mess up the matter, I will not spare you."

...

Yu Chunqiu got his wish and became the head of the yamen.

No wonder people in the officialdom like to think about the superiors and flatter. To make Shangguan happy, the speed of promotion is beyond imagination.

Yu Chunqiu's approach is more wise than flattering. He is to convey interests and make himself and Shangguan a community of interests.

In this way, even if Yu Chunqiu has completely gained a foothold in the yamen.

Yu Chunqiu changed into the "official uniform" of the headmaster.

Although the yamen's chief still has no rank and is just a minor official, he cannot be considered a court official.

However, the status of the captain is much higher than that of the lowly yamen runners.

Yu Chunqiu said to himself: "I am finally no longer a temporary worker in the yamen, but have become a formal civil servant with a 'staff'. I now have a salary to receive. The yamen's captain... is equivalent to the county criminal police captain."

Captain Wang looked at Yu Chunqiu with a complicated look.

What is Yu Chunqiu's background? Captain Wang knew very well. Shahe helped him give money and asked his own connection to stuff Yu Chunqiu into the yamen and became a humble yamen runner.

A few days ago, Yu Chunqiu flattered himself and invited him to a restaurant to drink and eat meat. But today, Yu Chunqiu actually took his position and became the head of the yamen.

Now, Yu Chunqiu is Captain Wang's immediate boss.

Yu Chunqiu said: "The King's Head..."

Captain Wang hurriedly said, "No, no, no. Lord Yu, you are the captain in the yamen now. I, Lao Wang, are your subordinates, but I cannot be called "King Head"."

The officialdom is so cruel.

Captain Wang may not be a captain, but he has lost his salary as a yamen runner. How can he support his family? The wife and daughter at home are still waiting for dinner.

Yu Chunqiu nodded and said, "It was Shangguan's decision to be the chief inspector. Lao Wang, you will be my deputy and be an deputy chief inspector in the future. It requires your experience when handling cases in the yamen. I will tell Shangguan that you will keep your salary and pay it."

Captain Wang said gratefully: "Thank you, thank you Lord Yu. I, Lao Wang, will be sent by Lord from now on."

Yu Chunqiu said: "Lao Wang, go to Baozhilin. Tell Huang Feihong that the people of the militia notify the vegetable vendors in the entire Foshan City. Without the permission of the yamen, the vegetables are not allowed to be sold to foreigners."

Lao Wang nodded and said, "Yes, sir. I'll go to Baozhilin now." I don't know why Yu Chunqiu gave such an order, but Lao Wang has been in the yamen for many years and knows the "way of being an official". The superiors gave orders and executed them, and there is no need to ask why.

The yamen is rotten, which makes the people afraid.

Huang Feihong's militia is a non-governmental organization and has a closer relationship with the people.

Yu Chunqiu asked Huang Feihong to come forward because he didn't want the vegetable vendors to be resistant. At that time, Yu Chunqiu's work will definitely be smoother.

Yu Chunqiu stared at the direction of the concession and sneered in his heart: "It's time for foreigners to get some blood, otherwise, I will let these foreigners not eat a piece of vegetable leaf."

"Next, I'm going to deal with foreign devils."

"Those foreigners don't follow the rules. The violence they believe in. I have practiced boxing, but I haven't formed a combat power yet. I need a personal bodyguard."

Yu Chunqiu thought of someone.

...

People who practice martial arts have strong qi and blood, strong digestion ability, and eat a lot. Yan Zhendong spent the five taels of silver that Yu Chunqiu gave him the day before yesterday.

No money.

Yan Zhendong is going to go hungry again.

street.

Yan Zhendong is still performing martial arts and performing arts.

Unfortunately, there was no audience around. Passersby were all taking a detour, afraid that Yan Zhendong would ask them for rewards.
