Ming politicians

() Jiaofang Division is the department in charge of music, dance and opera, under the jurisdiction of Yingtianfu Yamen, and its direct supervisor is the Ministry of Rites.Leji is an official brothel. The wives and daughters of prisoners are all assigned to Leji after they are convicted. Leji belongs to a department of the Jiaofang Division. Girls, even snatched some girls.

Le Ji is a profiteering department, and the girls in it don't get any remuneration. All the money earned from selling prostitutes belongs to Le Ji.

The fate of girls who fall into Le Ji is very tragic, unless they meet kind-hearted people who help them redeem themselves. Even if the prisoners’ wives and daughters have money, they may not be able to redeem themselves. They have to rely on relationships to get rid of Le Ji of identity.

The girls in the music books are all outstanding, even better than the girls in the brothel. Many of the girls are family members of criminal officials. This is also where Emperor Yongle Zhu Di was wicked. I will be punished, and my family members will also be punished. Going to Leji to commit suicide not only physically punishes the prisoner, but also tortures the prisoner psychologically.

The girls in the music book, on the surface, sing for entertainment, but the actual situation is not like this.Officials are thinking about piaoji, so they look for girls in Leji, especially the family members of those criminals. Why not do piaoji for free? Some officials think that a certain girl in Leji is good. He brought it back to the mansion. Feng Luan of the Jiaofang Division is just an official of the ninth rank, and he won't fart a single one.

After what happened just now, Su Tiancheng is no longer interested in listening to music, he is not a fool.

"I think it's fine."

Su Tiancheng said this, of course the rest of the people would not say anything.

The food and wine were served quickly, there were not many dishes, and the color looked good.

Everyone didn't drink too much, but after half an hour, the banquet ended.

Back at the county government office, Su Tiancheng was very surprised, everything was arranged, Su Pingyang, Wang Furong and others had already arrived.

He had something on his mind, and after greeting everyone, he went to the second hall with Qu Qingze.

"My lord, when I met Ma Jiashou, I was a little confused."

Qu Qingze changed his address. After all, it was in Ertang. On a formal occasion, of course the address had to be changed.

"Since Mr. Qu knows, is there something that needs to be reminded to me?"

Su Tiancheng's tone was not very good, Qu Qingze didn't care, and spoke with a smile.

"The lower official knows what the lord is thinking, so Ma Jiashou's attitude is unscrupulous, Zheng Keyou deliberately avoided, including the lower official standing behind, all of this must have made the lord puzzled, but some things need to be handled by the lord himself, others cannot Instead, what happened in the restaurant is just the beginning."

"Oh, that's right, then tell me in detail."

"What I saw were two things. First, Ma Jiashou has no scruples. This is because his cousin, Ma Jiagan, was judged by Ying Tianfu. Many officials in the county government can't afford to offend, so they can only stand on the sidelines." , Zheng Keyou is the governor of Yingtianfu, and when he saw Ma Jiashou, he turned around and looked out the window, the attitude of others is understandable."

"Secondly, it's not a big deal to ask a girl from Le Ji to sing. It has become a custom to be arty, but my lord has been to the Qinhuai River, and even Mr. Fu Yin specially warned me. At this time, let Le It would be very interesting if a girl from my hometown came to sing."

A smile also appeared on Su Tiancheng's face.

"From this point of view, when I just arrived in Jiangning County, I was dismounted, and I need to deal with difficult things."

Qu Qingze looked at Su Tiancheng without saying a word.

"I understand what you mean. The officials of the county government can't work together anymore. What are you talking about doing big things? Although you haven't been in office for a long time, you should have some understanding of the situation in the county government. I can't say anything specific."

"Okay, but the official said, is your lord planning to do something?"

"Of course, the officials of the county government have their own thoughts. This is unavoidable, but when doing things, they must be generally fair. The most important thing is to obey orders and prohibitions. Without this basic guarantee, I can go back We grow sweet potatoes at home."

"My lord trusts the subordinate so much."

Su Tiancheng looked at Qu Qingze and suddenly burst out laughing.

"We are brothers, and we all say that people's hearts are unpredictable and sea water is difficult to measure. Are you thinking too much, Jin Yiwei Qianhu, have you never seen anything before?"

"It is precisely because the officer has seen too many things that he said this."

Qu Qingze was not polite, and his expression became serious.

"The biggest problem with the Jiangning county government is Ma Jiashou. Most of the more than 1000 government servants are recruited by Ma Jiashou. They have gathered a lot of rascals in Jiangning County. These people can't do good things. What I think of all day is Searching for people's fat and people's anointing caused a miasma, and during this time, it was a little calmer, and it was the busy farming season."

According to regulations, during the busy farming season, the county government will stop releasing complaints, which means that ordinary people will not accept complaints, and will not continue to release complaints until after July when something serious happens.

The so-called release means that the torture room accepts the complaints of ordinary people, and after the county magistrate reviews them, those who should be promoted to the court for trial will be tried directly, and those who should not be heard will be returned.

Most of the so-called stories about beating drums to complain about grievances are fictional, and this kind of situation will only appear in the capital's yamen.

The two biggest things for magistrates are money and food and criminal names.

"In July, the collection of land taxes will start. The officials estimate that by then, more things will happen."

"The lower official has not been in Jiangning County for a long time. I didn't know these things until after I came here. How did the lower official know it? Needless to say, but the lower official can guarantee that the things mentioned are all real."

Su Tiancheng nodded.

"You mean, if I can't fix Majiashou, I don't even think about it, I can do things well."

"This is how the officer sees it."

"Okay, let's cut Ma Jiashou's body."

"Dare to ask my lord, what are you going to do, should you directly go to the Tianfu Yamen to dismiss it?"

"Hehe, Mr. Qu, we have been together for a day or two, will I do this?"

"Since this is the case, I will say a few more words. Just now, my lord wanted to ask about the situation in Jiangning County. I have some suggestions."

"It should have been said a long time ago. I'm afraid you have thought of it. Too many words will lead to mistakes. It is completely unnecessary."

Qu Qingze stood up.

"The first thing is to control the clerks of the county government, especially the officials and officials."

"Don't underestimate these bureaucrats and officials. They are old and sophisticated. They have experienced many magistrates and are familiar with all official procedures. If they control them, they will not be deceived."

"The county government is mainly composed of six rooms. The lower officials feel that the adults focus on household houses, official rooms, and torture rooms. As for the ritual rooms, military rooms, and workshops, there is not much to do."

"The second thing is to focus on the money and food matters in Jiangning County. The tax in Jiangning County is 13 taels of silver every year. This is set by the court. If you can't pay it, the higher-ups must have opinions."

"The third thing is to coordinate the relationship between the four parties. As the magistrate of Gyeonggi County, if you cannot coordinate all aspects of the relationship, it will be difficult."

Looking at Qu Qingze who was talking eloquently, Su Tiancheng suddenly had a strange feeling again. Qu Qingze is a thousand householder of Jinyiwei. Could it be that he also came from a scholar background? profound.

He is happy that Qu Qingze is capable, no matter what purpose Qu Qingze has, if he works with him, he can become a capable assistant.

Not long after Qu Qingze left, Lu Tianming came in.

"My lord, today's matter was mishandled by the subordinate officials. Please punish me, my lord."

"Master Lu, don't blame yourself, I have already said, this is not your responsibility."

Lu Tianming's face was cautious, and he seemed to be a little uneasy.

The county magistrate is the most important deputy of the county magistrate, focusing on money and food matters. Seeing Lu Tianming being so careful, Su Tiancheng sighed secretly. It seems that the land of Gyeonggi is really a place to temper people, and there is no edge to polish people.

"Master Lu, I have already said that we will work together in the future. I still have to rely on you for many things in Jiangning County."

"That's that, that's the duty of the lower officials. If your lord has any arrangements, the lower officials will try their best to do it well."

Freezing three feet is not a one-day cold, and Lu Tianming's attitude cannot be changed in a short time.

Su Tiancheng was still thinking about discussing some things with Lu Tianming, but seeing such a situation, he was not in the mood anymore.However, Lu Tianming's caution is better than being domineering.

Back in the backyard, Wang Furong was already waiting.

Wang Furong was the happiest thing that the young master had only her as a personal maid, and this was personally arranged by the young master. When she came to the county government office, the little girl was tempted to serve the young master well.

Seeing Su Tiancheng coming in, Wang Furong rushed to meet him.

"Master, this servant will serve you to rest."

"Fu Rong, don't be so cautious, there is no difference between Pingyang Mansion and Pingyang Mansion."

Seeing the slim Wang Furong, Su Tiancheng's heart skipped a beat.

The bath water has been prepared a long time ago. Since time travel, he has always insisted on taking a bath by himself and not needing anyone to serve him.

When Wang Furong followed into the house, Su Tiancheng did not speak.

Wang Furong, who was blushing, felt a surprise in her heart. The young master has always taken a bath alone. She has been troubled for a long time because of this matter. She is a personal servant girl. Why doesn't the young master take care of herself? Could it be that she has other ideas? But a few days ago, when she was worshiping outside Nanjing City, the young master held her hand.

This shows that the young master has her in his heart.
