Chapter 477 The Abandoned Shen Family!
Every time they come here, they come for as little as a hundred taels or as many as hundreds of liang. They come twice a month, and in a year they can make two to three thousand taels of silver.
Of course, things have to be managed from top to bottom, and only two to three hundred taels a year fall into the hands of Inspector Zhao.
But even if it is like this, it is enough for his salary for six or seven years.
At this moment, a steward of the Shen family came over and raised his hand, "My lords, the Shen family has enough money for this year. If you want to collect cash, please come back next year!"
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the people in the inspection department changed. Inspector Zhao slammed the table, "What do you mean? Please speak clearly!"
Do you, the Shen family, still want to add some salt?"
The steward said: "Of course we need salt, but Mr. Zhao comes here every now and then. He has come here more than ten times in the past six months. Although the salt business is considerable, no matter how high the profit is, it cannot sustain this."
In fact, the inspection department pays tribute every year. In addition, there are also batch inspection offices, salt warehouses, various salt department departments, governors, etc., and relationships must be established at all levels.
Without filial piety at any level, the business will not run smoothly.
Those officials are people who eat people without spitting out their bones.
"I don't want to come here as an inspector, but it's an order from above..."
"The Shen family's business is upright and can withstand investigation!" the steward said with a smile.
Inspector Zhao's face was particularly ugly, "It seems that your family doesn't want to add salt to the pot anymore!"
"Please!" said the steward.
Inspector Zhao's face turned dark, "How brave!"
The losers on the side were even more clamoring to make the Shen family look good.
Inspector Zhao said coldly: "Then don't blame us for doing business. If this inspection finds anything, your Shen family will have no salt this year. By then, it will be difficult for you to get salt!"
The steward smiled without fear at all, "Then I'll wait!"
"Let's go!"
Inspector Zhao waved and left angrily.
As soon as they left the Shen family's courtyard, someone said, "Sir, this Shen family doesn't know what's good and what's good. It seems like they need to be given a hard slap!"
"That's right, it seems that the Shen family still doesn't understand our methods. Even if there is nothing wrong with their family, we can still make some trouble for them!" One person sneered.
Inspector Zhao shook his head, "It's stupid. The other party has made it clear that they are not afraid of us, and they obviously have something to rely on. Don't forget who is behind the Shen family. If they do it too ugly and make a big fuss, we won't be able to live with it."
It’s better to report it to Governor Yang.”
Inspection Zhao relied on his cleverness to achieve his current status, while those little officials like them relied on their vision if they wanted to have both sides.
Today he has revealed his tactics, but the manager of the Shen family is not afraid, as if he is confident.
If he bumped into it, he would probably hit his head and bleed.
As for face, that’s nothing!
As long as he is still on patrol, others will laugh and call him "sir!"
Soon, Inspector Zhao returned to Yunsi Yamen and said, "Sir, this is what happened. I thought there was something weird in this, so I came here to report it."
Yang Jian smoothed the short beard on his chin and nodded, "It's indeed a bit strange. In the past six months, the Shen family has been resigned to the situation and spent money to eliminate disasters. Unexpectedly, today they have become more stubborn.
It seems that he has stepped on the other side's bottom line.
You did a good job, go down first, I will call you if anything happens!"
"Yes, sir!"
After Inspector Zhao stepped back, Yang Jian narrowed his eyes and said nothing nonsense. He straightened his clothes and found Wu Lin, his colleague. He explained his purpose and said, "The Shen family can't bear it anymore."
"Okay, let's make arrangements." Wu Lin nodded. The two Huaihe River transfer envoys were the bones of the East Zhejiang lineage and the position they held firm.
This Shen family does not know what is good or bad. When the Shen family and his son were imprisoned, the Zhejiang people made great efforts to rescue them.
But who would have known that the Shen family was so rebellious that they not only showed no gratitude to them, but turned around and defected to King Wu, and merged all their wealth into King Wu's Mansion.
This kind of rebellious behavior is undoubtedly despised by everyone.
But the Shen family is so rich that people can let go of some of their prejudices.
As long as the Shen family pulls back from the brink, they are still good comrades.
It would be great if the Shen family could influence King Wu to get close to the eastern Zhejiang lineage.
But the Shen family is ignorant and thinks that once they reach a high branch, they will be arrogant about everything.
But the adults above decided to give the Shen family some time and a chance.
It has been more than a year, and the Shen family has no intention of going back on their word.
Even worse!
Even the annual filial piety has stopped.
This made everyone dissatisfied.
But they couldn't make it too obvious. After all, King Wu was not a vegetarian. If the madman started to make trouble, not many people could handle it.
Now, the opportunity has arrived.
Since the Shen family is to be rectified, it must be done to the point of death, making it difficult for King Wu to save it.
By then, this piece of fat meat from the Shen family can feed everyone.
However, he still had to talk to Tong Quan about this matter. After all, he was the commander of the city and had the deepest trust of His Majesty.
At present, the Zhejiang East lineage is dormant, sincerity is far away from the court, and only Song Lian is struggling to support it.
Although Yang Xiang has risen, it is not easy for Yang Xiang to be too obvious.
Therefore, Tong Quan is expected to become one of the next big talkers in the East Zhejiang line.
Both emotionally and rationally, you should inform him.
"The morning sun is coming!" Tong Quan was reading a book at the moment. When he saw Wu Lin, he also put down his book and stood up to greet him with a smile.
Logically speaking, as a superior, he doesn't have to be like this.
But Wu Lin was very famous, and in the second year of Shenwu's reign, he was recommended as an official by literature.
He is an upright and upright official. He is a man who is well versed in classics and has a very good following. If nothing unexpected happens, he will be transferred to the capital this year to serve as an official. There is news that he will be appointed to serve in the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
The Ministry of Personnel is the head of the six departments. He is currently in the fourth rank. He cannot be demoted when he goes to the capital. He can only be transferred to the same level or promoted.
There are officials from the fourth or third rank in the civil service department, and those are the positions with real power.
Therefore, Wu Lin’s future is extremely valuable.
This is why he is so cautious.
"I've seen you sir!"
Tong Quan walked over with a smile and said, "Chaoyang, why are you so cautious? On some days, the court's orders are issued, and in the future, I may have to call you sir!"
You and I, in private, let’s keep each other as friends!”
Wu Lin thought about it and did not refuse. The Tong family was powerful and Tong Quan was also extremely capable.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to hold two positions. "If you accept your auspicious words, then I will be promoted to a high official!"
"You are just too cautious!" Tong Quan pulled Wu Lin to a seat and poured him tea with a warm smile on his face.
