Huang Chunhui was drinking tea when he heard this and put down his teacup, "He captured more than ten officials?"
The clerk said: "Yes."
"What's the reason?" Liao Jin frowned slightly, feeling that Liu Qing was not steady enough.
This is Taoxian County, and Huang Chunhui's approval is needed to make big moves.
The clerk said: "Corruption."
Huang Chunhui coughed dryly, "Who knows about this?"
An official comes in.
"Ms. Sir, Liu Sima found Xiaguan a while ago and said he wanted to visit the workshop. Then he changed his name to Liu Han and pretended to be a small official and entered a workshop in the south of the city, until today."
Huang Chunhui said calmly: "My newly recruited Army Sima actually sneaked into the workshop and became a clerk. What does he want to do?"
The official said: "Liu Sima went to the workshop after checking the accounts."
"Is there a problem with the account books?" Liao Jin asked.
"The losses are not small." The official smiled bitterly, "This has always been the case, and it is also the case in Chang'an."
Huang Chunhui smiled and said: "When this new officer of the Marching Sima takes office, he must make some kind of statement to let me and Northern Xinjiang know his temper. Is this to keep him upright?"
Every official will give himself a persona and run it for a long time. In many cases, the persona is your political label. This is how you stand in line, which can lead to prosperity and wealth, but it may also lead to bad luck.
For example, a person who makes decisions for the people, a person who hates evil, a person who is calculating and careful...
After a while, someone outside called out, "Ms. Sir, Liu Sima wants to see you."
Huang Chunhui nodded, "I'm confused, I have to wait for him to clear up my doubts."
Liu Qing appeared wearing the clothes of a small official.
"I've met my husband."
Seeing Huang Chunhui's calm expression, Liu Qing knew that this matter had not completely angered the big boss.
"What did you do in the workshop?" Huang Chunhui was very curious about the thoughts of this marching Sima... Every official needs to find his own position. He has been waiting for Liu Qing's statement and got a vague answer today.
"Ms. sir, I checked the workshop's account books a while ago and found that the expenses were quite high." Liu Qing thought of other ways to open up the situation, but in the end it was not as shocking as this one.
To do something, Lao Liu must do the sharpest thing.
"Wrong loss?"
"The loss of 30% seems ordinary, but when the official was in Chenzhou, he visited the workshop to inspect it."
"How much is the loss of Chenzhou's workshop?"
"A little more than 10%."
Huang Chunhui laughed at himself: "I didn't expect that I would miss it."
"The official immediately sneaked into the workshop, made inquiries, and found that the workshop manager was colluding with the officials to overreport losses."
"No one noticed?" Liao Jin felt that with so many people, they couldn't all be blind, right?
"Someone discovered it and reported it, but the official he reported to was in charge of a group of people, and he was subsequently exiled."
Huang Chunhui said with a cold face, "Why don't you report it to me?"
If something goes wrong, you should communicate it to your superior in a timely manner. This is an official rule. Taking action in private may seem like a protective rule, but it is an official rule.
But what dominates the officialdom is the unspoken rules.
Liao Jin was waiting for Liu Qing's answer with great interest... As a follow-up to Huang Chunhui's paving the way for him, Liu Qing's arrival set up a corner for him, but he was not in a hurry to get acquainted with Liu Qing, but wanted to observe it.
This person.
Are you saying that you were negligent, or that you didn't explain and took the initiative to apologize?
There will be many warnings about work in Chicken Soup of Life. For example, if something goes wrong at work, it is not your fault. When faced with criticism, you should not defend yourself, but quietly solve the problem.
Does this chicken soup have a familiar smell?
If you are wronged, you must have committed evil in your previous life. Don't try to resolve it. Accept it calmly. You will suffer today and enjoy happiness in the next life.
The underlying logic of this kind of chicken soup is: Don't compete with the superior, whatever the superior says will be whatever it is... In fact, it is the same thing as the father and son of the emperor and his ministers. It reinterprets the word strict hierarchy with chicken soup, which is very confusing.
Liu Qing raised his head and said, "Those people are colluding. I am worried that the information will be leaked if I report back and forth, so I act rashly. Please punish me."
Why I did this, this is the reason. In the end, I bowed my head and gave Shangguan a step up.
This is Liu Qing's attitude.
Huang Chunhui said with great interest: "What do you think?"
Liu Qing said: "Although there are frequent fightings in northern Xinjiang, there have been no major wars for many years. It can be called many years of peace. For many years of peace, people's minds are at peace, but once the officials are at peace, disaster will come."
Liao Jin smiled and said: "Your statement is interesting. Tell me why it is said that once the officials are at peace, disaster will come."
"There is a popular saying among the people that when people are full and warm, they will think about their sexual desires. After the people have eaten their belly full, put on clothes, and feel that there is no problem in surviving, they will think about the three inches below the navel."
Huang Chunhui subconsciously touched his hand under his navel, then pulled it back uncomfortably and coughed dryly.
"It turns out that Bei Liao was in trouble, and the officials in Northern Xinjiang were all thinking about the threat of Bei Liao, and the thought of precariousness was always there, so the government was fine. But if the war lasts for a long time, the officials will feel that there is nothing to worry about, and there is nothing to worry about. What do they think?"
Liu Qing paused for a moment, and when he saw that Huang Chunhui did not stop him, he knew that his husband was well aware of these situations.
"They first think about promotion, or they are lazy. But promotion has to be done step by step, which is quite difficult. So, what are the benefits of being an official?" Liu Qing took out a copper coin and tossed it a few times in the palm of his hand. "Fu Nuan Si Lust leads to greed in Taiping. What the officials are thinking about right now is how to take advantage of the officials!"
Although taking down more than a dozen officials was a big move, Huang Chunhui valued Liu Qing's words even more.
Northern Xinjiang is an isolated island. Grandma does not kiss her, and her uncle does not love her. As a result, a small cycle is formed inside. The running water does not rot, and the door hinges do not suffer from beetles. Huang Chunhui also wanted to break this pattern, but in the end he could not find an opportunity or an arm. .
Rectifying officialdom is an offending job, who is willing to do it?
Liao Jin can do it, but now Huang Chunhui is reluctant to let him take action.
Liao Jin's move seems to have increased his prestige a lot, but it will also have many disadvantages for his future promotion.
The governor of Northern Xinjiang cannot be a cruel official who does not rub sand in his eyes, otherwise the officials who are already uncomfortable at the border will rebel!
Thinking of this, Huang Chunhui nodded, "What is your response to this?"
"It's time to clean up after a while!" After all, Liu Qing has been in charge of Chenzhou for many years and knows the mentality of the officials below. "We must use thunderous means to arrest a group of officials who have committed heinous crimes and deal with them strictly and quickly to shock the officialdom. !”
Huang Chunhui glanced at Liao Jin, "What do you think, old Liao?"
"good!"
Huang Chunhui nodded, "That's it, you go and do it!"
After Liu Qing left, Huang Chunhui said quietly: "He is a smart man."
"Yes!" Liao Jin smiled.
Liu Qing's move was to offend others. In this way, he put himself in a position of assistance. For Liao Jin, this stance was extremely appropriate.
"I'm relieved." Huang Chunhui said with a smile: "Even if I leave, I think Taoxian will still be as stable as before."
Groups of sergeants rushed into various government offices and then dragged out officials one by one like dogs.
"I have shed blood for Northern Xinjiang, and I want to see my husband!" an official shouted at the top of his lungs and was dragged out of the duty room by two sergeants.
Liu Qing stood in the middle of the main street of Taoxian County, watching the officials being brought in one by one, expressionless.
"Old dog, you must die a happy death!"
"Liu Sima, I am willing to report you, but I only ask for leniency!"
The officials either yelled at Liu Qing or begged.
But Liu Qing remained unmoved.
In the afternoon, he dragged his tired body back home.
The old wife already knew about this, so she cooked some delicious dishes for dinner and made good wine.
"What do you want to say?" Liu Qing saw his old wife's thoughts, "But are you worried?"
The old wife nodded, "It offends too many people."
Liu Shang also felt that his father had done something wrong, "Ah Ye, this matter will come slowly. This will shock Tao County and Northern Xinjiang. How many officials will regard Ah Ye as their enemy."
"Are you done?" Liu Qing raised his head and drank from the glass of wine.
"Someone has to do many things!"
The old wife knew his temper, so she drank her son down.
Then, feeling a bit dull, the old wife thought for a moment, "What about that young man, the Yang Zitai who succeeded you?"
Liu Qing said: "He Lianchun gathered three major ministries and invited him to meet."
"I'm afraid it's not a good thing." The old wife had a good impression of Yang Xuan.
"Of course it's not a good thing. Mr. Huang and the others are watching, and I am watching too."
…
In the workshop, Chen Ding and others were captured, and a small official came to take care of them temporarily.
Guo Yun became a man of the hour, and many people sought him out to find out about Liu Qing.
"So Liu Han is really Liu Sima? Does he have a good temper?"
"It's good!" Guo Yun said proudly: "You and I will drink water from the same bowl."
"Ouch! This is such a boast!" A craftsman was a little jealous.
"Truth!" someone behind said.
Everyone slowly turned around and saw Liu Han standing there wearing a brand new official uniform.
Damn it!
Liu Sima is really here!
"I've met Liu Sima!"
Liu Qing came over and said, "Lao Guo."
Guo Yun leaned forward and said in panic: "You can just call the villain by his name. Don't you dare, Lao Guo."
Lao Guo is a very casual and affectionate name, but the status gap between the two is so great that Guo Yun doesn't even dare to think about it.
"Lao Guo!" Liu Qing simply patted him on the shoulder, "Will you take care of the workshop?"
Guo Yun nodded subconsciously, "Yes!"
He has been a craftsman all his life, and he wanted to make progress before. He has learned a lot, and he has no problem managing a workshop.
But he never thought about being a steward.
"From now on, you are the steward here!"
Liu Qing walked out of the workshop, remembering Guo Yun's tears just now, and couldn't help but rub the corners of his eyes, "I'm old."
The official next to him said: "Sima is not old."
"I'm old." Liu Qing sighed, "It's time to find a helper."
Everyone's eyes lit up, thinking that whoever became Liu Sima's helper would be his successor in the future?
Someone boldly asked: "May I ask Sima if you have any helpers you like?"
Everyone looked calm, but their hearts were beating like thunder.
"have!"
My heartbeat suddenly became indistinguishable.
"That man is in Chenzhou."
If the little boy is also in Tao County and joins forces with me, the situation will be... Just thinking about it makes people feel relaxed and happy!
"Yang Shijun?" Someone thought of the story between Liu Qing and Yang Xuan, Bole and Qianlima.
Liu Qing nodded.
Little bastard, you are so happy to be back!
A few days later, just as he was about to leave the office, a horseman rushed into Taoxian County.
Liu Qing is reporting to Huang Chunhui on some of the problems discovered during this rectification of officialdom.
"Ms. sir, urgent report from Chenzhou!"
Before Huang Chunhui could react, Liu Qing turned around suddenly, "How?"
The person who came was a small official from Chenzhou, whom Liu Qing knew.
"Xiangong, Deputy Envoy Liao, and Liu Sima, this time the envoys went to the grassland to defeat the surprise attack in the south of the town, and defeated the Jibo Department and the Tiger Yu Department's joint sneak attack..."
"Okay!" Liao Jin slapped the table.
The clerk continued: "Then the four families went hunting, and the Tiger Control Department used a bitter trick to ambush the envoy, but the Envoy saw through it, and killed hundreds of the Tiger Control Department's riders. He Lianchun led the troops to suppress the envoy, and the envoy could not move.
If you don't retreat, He Lianchun will finally shake hands and make peace, allowing you to retreat completely."
Huang Chunhui said with a smile: "When a young man takes charge of a state, I am always a little worried. I am worried that he will be impulsive and make mistakes, and that he is not thoughtful enough. I didn't expect that the first time I took action, I was surprised."
Liao Jin said: "In this way, he has established a firm foothold in Chenzhou."
The two smiled at each other, and when Liu Qing was silent, Liao Jin asked, "What do Liu Sima think?"
"Well done, little bastard!"
…
When he got up early in the morning, Yang Xuan subconsciously hugged Zhou Ning tightly in his arms.
"let go!"
"Nothing is bad."
"Hurry up and let go. I have to get up, otherwise I will be laughed at."
"Who dares to laugh?"
"Are you loose or not?"
"If you don't let go, can you still carry the silver needle with you and give me one?"
"Ouch!"
Yang Xuan forgot that women also have a sharp weapon.
Later, he sat up, looked down at the nail marks on his thighs, and took a deep breath, "Sure enough, the heart of a woman is the most poisonous!"
Zhou Ning, who was sitting in front of the dressing table, turned his back to Yang Xuan and rolled his eyes, "The envoy who is so wise and powerful in the eyes of the soldiers and people of Chenzhou is now sleeping in."
Yang Xuan got up and moved his body, "Aning, have you ever received a letter from Chang'an?"
"Whose letter are you talking about?"
"My father-in-law's."
"Coming."
"What did you say?" Yang Xuan was worried that Zhou Ning would be lonely here, so he often encouraged her to write letters to her parents' family.
Zhou Ning shook his head.
"But not happy?"
"no."
"What is that?"
"Aye asked...when can he become a grandfather."
…
Chenzhou is gradually becoming more prosperous, and the number of foreign residents is increasing.
During breakfast, Yang Xuan didn't see the old thief and Wang Laoer.
"Where did it go?"
"They say a juggling troupe has come, let's go and watch." Yi Niang said angrily: "I won't leave breakfast for them!"
After breakfast, Yang Xuan changed into his official uniform, went out from the front door of his house, and went around in a circle to the state house.
Diagonally across from Zhoulou, several men and women were erecting wooden structures.
A woman looked to be in her thirties, with a slightly dark complexion that looked like she had been sunburned. She was practicing somersaults with a girl.
The old thief and Wang Laoer were squatting beside each other, watching each other...
"Second brother, this woman seems to be a good wife and mother, the kind of woman who lives her daily life."
"Old thief, look at that woman's waist, hey! She can actually get through it, it's so amazing!"
"I find this woman very pleasing to my eye."
"When I saw this woman, I wanted to study with her."
The two of them didn't notice Yang Xuan coming behind them.
Yang Xuan, who was originally in a good mood, turned expressionless after hearing Wang Laoer's words!
Women are not used to accompany students to study, but to be loved and loved by others!
The old thief sighed: "How can we get close to them? I can't find any excuse!"
A clerk was passing by and saw this scene. He was overjoyed and thought it was a good opportunity to flatter him, so he shouted: "How can we do business outside the prefecture?"
A few men and women thought that there was a large flow of people here and it was not across from the state house, so they dared to set up a show here. They were about to explain.
“Why can’t we set up a stall?”
Yang Xuan said with a cold face, "It's so difficult for ordinary people to start a small business, it's just a living. This is not allowed, that is not allowed, do you find a way for the people to make a living, or do you support them?!"
The clerk didn't expect that the horse's hooves would be slapped with flattery, and he panicked, "Your Majesty, this place is not far from Zhouli. If someone wants to do something evil..."
"If I can force people to take desperate risks, then I deserve it!"
Yang Xuan walked towards Zhoushe with his hands behind his hands.
Several men and women saluted.
"Make you merciful!"
The older woman sighed: "We have traveled a lot, but we have never seen such a good official who is so approachable and thinks about the people."
A voice came from the side.
With three points of wretchedness and seven points of temptation.
