"Get up." Wei Zhongxian softened his tone a little, "Actually, you have done a good job in the Duchayuan and Dali Temple during this time, our family really didn't expect you to get so much silver, and you haven't made any trouble yet, you still have some ability, otherwise our family would have put you aside and cooled down." ”

"Thank you for the appreciation." Wei Bao hurriedly got up and said.

"Our family also believes that you don't have bad intentions, but you are young and vigorous, and you don't think much about doing things when you encounter them, and you are all messing around." Wei Zhongxian said: "The criminal department is not as wide as the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple, it involves too much, the idea you said, our family has thought about it carefully, and it is not advisable." Even if you can replace the chief officials of the Sentencing and Prosecution Divisions in various places overnight with experienced and impartial people, and these people are very capable and win the local gentry, but have you thought about it, what if you really do it, you can only let the places get out of control, out of touch with the imperial court, and disobey the control of the Ming court, in that case, will you win or lose? ”

"Is it going to drag on like this?" Wei Bao asked tentatively.

"I can only drag it out, when there are fewer disasters in the world, when His Majesty's internal funds are more abundant, when Liaodong is more peaceful, and when there is no need to allocate heavy military expenses every year, let's take it slowly, otherwise what else can I do?" Wei Zhongxian said: "Your Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple can treat things and not people, catch more loopholes in the criminal department and magistrates, get more silver, severely suppress the Donglin Party, and get more silver from them, but don't catch one person and put it to death, you can do a few at a time, dozens of them at one time, you have to weigh it, you know?" You are a knife in our family, not a sword in our family, and our family does not need you to cut your own people. ”

Wei Bao withered a little, and sighed: "The lesson of the nine thousand years old is that the humble position is understood, but what I think is too simple." I thought that with the power we wielded, we could seize the power of the world in one fell swoop. ”

"Hehe, it's not that easy! It would be good to promote more personnel in an exceptional way, relax the control over the promotion of people to fill vacancies, and move away more from the Donglin Party. Wei Zhongxian closed his eyes and said, "Okay, since you understand the reason, let's go first, our family is tired." ”

"Yes, nine thousand years old, please rest early and take care of your golden body." Wei Bao hurriedly flattered.

"Little monkey cub, our family tells you, don't do anything about it during this time, our family doesn't have so much patience, so many things all day long, and we have to discipline you like a son." Wei Zhongxian said with his eyes closed.

"You have been your own father for a long time in your humble heart." Wei Bao blushed and said flatteringly.

"Hmph, it's better to say than to sing, by the way, there is one more thing, Tian Ergeng and Xu Xianchun are going to do it to Yang Lian and other hardcore ministers of the Donglin Party in the past few days! Your Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple should cooperate closely and not make trouble, understand? This matter is mainly done by Jinyiwei, you just pretend to be deaf and dumb, and when appropriate, beat the side drum. ”

Wei Bao was stunned, he was going to do it again so soon?

Your eunuch party and Donglin party are really fighting wave after wave, and there is no time to stop.

Wei Bao's biggest difficulty in being an official is that he doesn't want people to think that he is a eunuch, he has always used himself to become a hardcore eunuch, and it is inconvenient to deal with the Donglin Party, Wei Zhongxian also recognized Wei Bao's statement, and has always been very protective of Wei Bao's hidden identity.

"Don't worry, I know what to do, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple will not let outsiders feel that they are controlled by Jiu Qiansui, but I will secretly help Jiu Qiansui's continue to eradicate Donglin Party officials." Wei Bao said flatteringly.

Wei Zhongxian closed his eyes and nodded, "That's good." ”

Wei Bao said again: "Nine thousand years old, take care of your golden body, and retire from your humble position." ”

Wei Zhongxian squinted at Wei Bao, and seeing that Wei Bao was in a low mood, he smiled: "Are you a little depressed?" That's because you have been too smooth since you entered the office, a new science and technology jinshi, and when you came up, you were promoted to the position of a member of the fifth grade, and you actually controlled the two important yamen such as the Duchayuan and Dali Temple, and you little monkey cub don't know what his surname is. You, a fifteen-year-old person, have suddenly gained so much, you still don't know what the most important thing is for you now, that is, to be a man with your tail between your legs, don't be faulty, wait patiently for three or five years, so young, you will have a great future in the future. ”

"Yes, yes, what nine thousand years old said is extremely true." Wei Bao was convinced.

"If you are young and energetic, it is the right way to help our family think about how to deal with the Donglin Party, do you hear clearly?" Wei Zhongxian said with a smile.

"Hear clearly, hear clearly." Wei Bao hurriedly expressed his loyalty again before leaving Wei Zhongxian's private residence.

When he arrived at the outer courtyard, Fu Yingxing actually took the initiative to talk to Wei Bao, "Master Wei, you are the only person who can speak for so long at the age of nine thousand, don't live up to his old man's high expectations!" ”

"Yes, thank you Master Fu for your advice." Wei Bao was surprised that Fu Yingxing, who had always been cold, would actually speak to himself, and quickly replied.

Leaving Wei Zhongxian's private house, on the way back, Wei Bao suddenly figured out something.

Wei Zhongxian's eunuch party and Donglin party are incompatible, but the Donglin party is not all the representatives of the civilian clique, and Wei Zhongxian's eunuch clique is also included in the civilian clique.

Therefore, Wei Zhongxian's opposition to the Donglin Party does not mean that Wei Zhongxian's eunuch party is anti-civilian-bureaucratic clique.

Even in a sense, the current Wei Gonggong should be regarded as one of the leaders of the "civil official group", the leader of the eunuch party, and the eunuch party is a collection of the remnants of the Qichu Zhejiang Party and all the civil officials who were unwilling under the rule of the Donglin Party in the early years of the Apocalypse.

In other words, the eunuch party is an anti-Donglin party alliance, Gonggong Wei is the leader, and the shrines everywhere are built by the scholar class.

It is the other literati and civilian-bureaucratic groups who have been suppressed and excluded by the Donglin Party who are singing praises of virtue.

Wei Bao thought of Wei Zhongxian's later ending, after Chongzhen succeeded to the throne, he dug the foot of the wall, mixed sand, cleared the periphery, and attacked at a fixed point, praising Wei Zhongxian and attacking his civil supporters, and Wei Gonggong was confused, just thinking about saving his rich life, forgetting how many catties and taels he had, why didn't Zhu Youzhen dare to touch him?

Not a considerable number of civil officials and doctors supported Wei Zhongxian.

And Wei Zhongxian saw that the civil officials of the alliance were suppressed and did not come to the rescue, a leader who was not interesting enough would not have a subordinate who was interesting enough, the eunuch party deviated from morality, and the scholar class gave up Wei Zhongxian and switched to the "Holy Lord of the Ming Monarch".

At this time, Wei Bao felt that Wei Zhongxian was just like this, just an empty bag, and felt that Wei Zhongxian's power was not because he had many political skills, but because the Emperor of the Apocalypse was forced out to fight with the dictatorship of the Donglin Party.

The emperor is often very uncomfortable by the civil official group, but the emperor and the imperial power are actually part of the civil official group.

When Liu Jin and Wei Zhongxian completed the task given to them by the emperor to fight against the forces of the previous dynasty, they were also an eyesore and must be eliminated.

By the time Chongzhen came to power, Wei Zhongxian had changed from a "hunter who fought against the forces of the previous dynasty" to a "forces of the former dynasty that was hunted".

The Donglin Party and the Eunuch Party are all turning to the right with the left light and turning to the left with the right light.

After Wei Bao returned home, he told Wu Xuexia, Wang Qiuya and Princess Zhenming about the meeting with Wei Zhongxian, and they all comforted Wei Bao not to think about it, his 15-year-old expansion in the officialdom has reached its peak, not to mention doing things that make Wei Zhongxian unhappy, that is, acting as Wei Zhongxian's minions, and he will not be promoted in three or five years, and his age is limited.

Wei Bao then no longer dwelled on this matter.

After that, Wei Bao went to the yamen on time every day, and when it was time to disperse the yamen, he hinted that he would return to his home and live a very stable life, and he was no longer the focus of the courtiers.

A group of members of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple, especially several eunuch high-ranking officials saw that Wei Bao had more money after he arrived at the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple, and the matter was not less, there was nothing wrong with a few of them, the entire Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple were very orderly, and they did not look for trouble with Wei Bao.

However, the Criminal Department and the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Dali Temple continue to be entangled non-stop, and almost every case reported by the Criminal Department will be brought over for retrial and re-judgment, so that the status of the Criminal Department will be lowered again and again.

This made Wang Ji unable to sit still, because many criminals paid money to the Criminal Department, and the Criminal Department promised that it would be okay to protect them, but they were still no match for the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple in the order of the Criminal Department, and the Criminal Department could not change the regulations of the Ming Dynasty.

Wang Ji had no choice, so he personally found Wei Bao's official hall in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and talked to Wei Bao behind closed doors, and he didn't care about his self-respecting official rank.

"Master Wei, do you really want to take over the power of the Criminal Department? Otherwise, you don't think it will work? If you go to the Yamen of the Procuratorial Department and the Yamen of the Criminal Department of the Beijing Division, and how much silver they have collected, you will take half of it together with the Dali Temple, right? lest thou respire that we have not given you enough money. Wang Ji said to Wei Bao, who was doing push-ups.

Wei Bao has done more than 180 push-ups, he sits 200 push-ups every morning, afternoon and evening, 600 a day, no increase, no decrease, this is Wei Bao's training plan for himself.

In addition to push-ups and running, he insists on sitting and boxing every night.

Anyway, Master Wei spends at least 3 hours a day exercising.

Wei Bao didn't have time to speak, Wang Ji secretly thought that your score was too big, right? When who are you, Lao Tzu is a second-grade official who speaks to you in such a low voice, what do you want?

You love martial arts so much, so why don't you go to the general? If you go to the border to fight, I'll save me a lot of trouble.

Wei Bao is neither the Donglin Party nor the Eunuch Party, he belongs to the neutral faction, and it is rare for the neutral faction to have such a powerful person as Wei Bao, and Wei Bao has quietly changed the pattern of the officialdom of the Beijing Division.

Wei Bao in the process of helping Wei Zhongxian clear the Donglin Party, he is also quietly promoting his own people, and now the six or seven hundred people in the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple combined, three-quarters of Wei Bao's newly promoted newcomers, and a quarter of the old people are also in Wei Bao's hands to spend money to keep their official positions or get promoted, and Wei Bao is also on the same line.

Wei Bao stood up after finishing the exercise and smiled at Wang Ji: "Lord Wang, I'm sorry, I have to exercise every day, and I just got halfway there, so I can't stop casually." ”

"It's okay, what I just said, what did Master Wei say?" Wang Jidao: "You may not know, you said to me last time, let the Criminal Department go to school and you will inspect the Yuan and Dali Temple, I said to the nine thousand years old, I also want to learn from Master Wei, not that I want to work against Lord Wei, if you don't approve it, what should you let me do?" ”

"Lord Wang, don't worry, we are friends, I won't embarrass you, I know you want to be friends with me too." Wei Bao smiled slightly: "Please drink tea slowly, things will be done slowly, don't be in a hurry." ”

"I'm not in a hurry, this month, how many cases have you all detained from the procuratorate? More than seventy pieces. In the past year, there have only been five or six cases in which you have an opinion. If you do this way, how many people will point at our criminal department and scold our mother, the silver we have already received, it will definitely not work to return it, one is that it has been spent, and the other is to return it, and people don't want it, what people want is not guilty. Wang Ji complained vigorously.

Wei Bao smiled slightly: "Don't worry, Lord Wang, I can think of your difficulties." But I can't help it, I just put up the shelves here, and now in the south and north courtyards, everyone is riveting their work, what should I do? Let everyone disperse, like in the past, what to do and what to do? The people below us won't listen to the Criminal Department, let alone listen to the Criminal Department, even if it's me now, I don't have the ability to let everyone go back to the same as before, the shelf is easy to set up, but it's not easy to dismantle, these truths, you Lord Wang don't know. ”

"I don't care about those, your Lord Wei's brain is easy to use, what do you say now? Always come up with a proper solution. "Wang Ji is not stupid, if he doesn't talk to Wei Bao about these useful and useless things, he wants Wei Bao to take ideas.

Wei Bao thought for a while, "It's not that there is no way, let's just do it, with the time limit, the cases before June this year have been closed, unless the family investigates, otherwise our procuratorate will not overturn the case." Cases before June, we will no longer overturn the cases, there are no end to the cases, the officials who decide the case, and bring the money together, the case of human death, 1,000 taels for a human life, and the case of non-human death, all 1,000 taels of silver, is this okay? ”

"Yes, that's fair. What about the cases after June? Wang Ji saw that Wei Bao really came up with an idea, and he came to the spirit, as long as he could solve the entanglement between the Duchayuan and Dali Temple as soon as possible, he would be happier than anything else, otherwise these days, he would not even be able to sleep soundly.

"For cases after June, how should your criminal department try the case and how to try the case, we can't ask about your affairs, as long as you don't go too far, I will treat you as mediocre and incompetent! You can take money from prisoners who are beaten less, and eat and live more comfortably in prison, or money that exonerates criminals, but you don't take silver that turns black and white upside down, and black is washed into white, understand? Although you can also judge, you are not Dali Temple, you do not have the power of final judgment, and you are not the Metropolitan Procuratorate, you do not have the power to picket! When you get to the Dali Temple and the Ducha Yuan, you will definitely figure out what is right and wrong. Wei Bao said.

Wang Ji was shocked, "Master Wei, I have been talking about it for a long time, you still want to rob our criminal department's job?" After that, haven't all of our criminal department been hollowed out by you? All that's left is the power to register? If you do this, you will do it, and the people all over the world will come to Beijing to sue the emperor, do you have the ability to arrest criminals everywhere in the entire Ming Dynasty? You must know that when there is a case, the most troublesome thing is to arrest people and get money, those big families have backgrounds, and they will also find all kinds of relationships, and whenever there is a big case, I don't know how many people come to me to intercede. What do you tell me to do? ”

"Lord Wang, I have to say this, this is your business, you see that I am engaged in the south and north courtyards here, and the north courtyard has no contact with outsiders at all, and I can't find a place to intercede!" Wei Bao laughed.

"Yes, now there are ballads coming out, saying that you are Wei Qingtianli! It's more beautiful than Hai Rui back then! All the people praise you. Wang Ji said sourly: "The good people of the whole Ming Dynasty have been taken by you alone, Lord Wei, don't blame me for not reminding you, I see that you know how to be flexible, don't wait for the nine thousand years old to get angry, don't wait for the entire Jingshi officialdom, and even the entire Daming officialdom to regret it if they can't tolerate you, Qingtian is not so easy to do." ”

"Oh? What ballads? I haven't heard of it yet. "How well-informed is Wei Bao? In fact, he has heard it a long time ago, this ballad was first spread from Beizhili, because he rehabilitated many extraordinarily unjust cases, so the people praised him.

However, Wei Bao still wanted to listen to it again from Wang Ji's mouth, and he felt comfortable listening to it several times.

"Hehe, then I'll tell Master Wei. Speaking of the Black Punishment Department, Bai Dali Temple, there is also a Qingtian Yamen Metropolitan Procuratorate behind it! Why is the Yamen of the Metropolitan Procuratorate a blue sky, because there is a new Kewei Tanhua. Wang Ji sang sourly.

Wei Bao laughed after hearing it: "Who made up the ballad?" Good to listen to, talented. ”

"Master Wei, hurry up and find a way, you didn't chase me anymore and I want the Criminal Department to do the same as your Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple, I thought you figured it out, you don't still want to rectify our Criminal Department, in this case, over time, the gentry and big families in the world will oppose you together, can you fight the world alone?" Wang Jidao.

"There is a way, that's what I just told you, your criminal department will be indiscriminately charged in the future, so you will take the share! Anyway, unless I Wei Bao is driven away, otherwise, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple must handle the case impartially. Wei Bao said very decisively: "It's not that I haven't left a way to live for the gentry, or they don't commit crimes, and prepare silver for crimes, I can buy lives here, or I can buy commutations, and the price is clearly marked, this power is just a transition from your criminal department to our Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple." ”

"Why are you doing this? Just to divide the power of our criminal department? Did I just say it in vain? Okay, now for example, a large household in a certain prefecture and a county in Shandong Province committed a case, we collected 1,000 taels of silver from him, reversed his case, and was found guilty to not guilty, and then the people were dissatisfied and sued the capital, and then you all procuratorates and Dali Temple re-sentenced and re-tried, and then didn't you want to ask our criminal department to arrest people, we can't hand over people to you, what can you do? Do you have so many people to arrest people yourself? Do you know what it's like to arrest people in the place, a thousand people, besieging you together, those big families are all the patriarchs of Lizheng, very authoritative, what should you do? Wang Ji asked.

Wei Bao smiled slightly: "Lord Wang, I am also from the common people, and I was almost kicked out of the first class by the first chief, how could I not know what you said?" Not to mention that it is inconvenient for your criminal department to arrest people, it is even possible that the big families will buy off the magistrates, and the officials of the magistrates will also help obstruct them, right? ’

"Yes, since you, Master Wei, know everything, what else do you say? It's time to go back! Change it to the original, it should be filial piety to the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple, we will not be less than one or two silver, I will honor you Lord Wei according to the three officials, this is always okay, right? Wang Ji thought that Wei Bao was just for silver, "Your Lord Wei's business is so big, there are heaven and earth merchants everywhere, you don't want the big families everywhere to boycott your business, right?" If you have to do it, I'm afraid that you can only end up losing both, and when the time comes, the Criminal Department, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Dali Temple will not be able to get the silver, and a case will not be sentenced, let alone take the silver, and a single person will not be caught. ”

"Don't worry about this, Lord Wang, you just do what I just said, take the silver you should take, and the silver you shouldn't take, it's better not to take it, otherwise don't talk about our Ducha Yuan and Dali Temple card your neck!" The Criminal Department has a criminal prosecution department in various places, and there is a yamen in charge of judging cases, why can't our Metropolitan Procuratorate set up permanent imperial history stations in various places, if you can't get people, I will send the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple to get people, does the imperial court have any regulations on how many servants can be accommodated by the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple! When the time comes, they will arrest a lot of people, get a lot of silver, and get a lot of commissions, unless the criminal is dead for the rest of his life, otherwise if one is caught, a criminal will go bankrupt! Wei Bao said resolutely.

"You all have to set up stations in various places and take people in person? Didn't you completely empty our criminal department? Do you think Nine Thousand Years Old and the Cabinet will approve of you doing this? Wang Ji couldn't believe it.

"I have not violated the laws of the Ming Dynasty, I have not violated the ancestral system of the imperial court, in the event of a case, our Metropolitan Procuratorate has the right to directly intervene, this is a rule set by Emperor Taizu, which cannot be changed forever! Who can say what? I'll repeat, I don't have bad rules, I just got a large part of the dirty silver that should be obtained by your criminal department into the hands of our Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple. If you don't want me to do this, it's very simple, if you encounter a case, handle it impartially, and give the people justice! The trial power is completely handed over, the Metropolitan Procuratorate is only responsible for supervision, and the Dali Temple is only responsible for adjudicating cases. Wei Bao said.

"Aren't you going back to the old ways? Aren't you still going to let us build the South and North Courtyards, just like you? I have already told you, 9,000 years old is not allowed, are you ready to be an enemy of 9,000 years old? Wang Ji gradually lost his patience.

"Lord Wang, I'm taking a step back, this is not to make your criminal department completely the same as our Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple, I didn't ask you to engage in the South and North Courtyards, only ask you to collect less dirty silver! Don't reverse black and white, because the cases you have tried, every case, the Metropolitan Procuratorate will definitely review, this is not a whim, but will do this for a long time in the future, and after a long time, the yamen at all levels will naturally know what to do. Wei Bao said.

"Master Wei, you are not only taking the money of the Criminal Department and the power of the Criminal Department, you are also taking the power of the prefectures and counties in various places, don't forget, one of the important official duties of the magistrate on weekdays is to judge and try cases. It's just that when it comes to the level of the procuratorate and the procuratorate, it is all big cases, and the common people don't care about these, and he sees that there is another station of the metropolitan procuratorate that will help them, and the cases in various places will be tried by your metropolitan procuratorate, so do you even have to take away the power of the county officials to try cases? Wang Ji reminded.

"Well, take it away, take it away, what's the problem?" Wei Bao smiled: "I didn't have bad rules, I didn't force the gentry to die, I didn't take away their privileges, I just let them have some extra silver, I believe that nine thousand years old is allowed." ”

Wang Ji gasped: "The question is, do you have so many imperial histories?" Don't tell me you're going to recruit people to be the Imperial History! Will the imperial court agree? ”

"The local station, there is no need for too much imperial history, and the Daming division is generally in line with the shape of the mountains and rivers. Nanzhili spans the three regions of Huaibei, Huainan and Jiangnan. However, the three prefectures of Jiaxing, Huzhou and Hangzhou in the Taihu Lake basin were included in Zhejiang Province and separated from Suzhou Prefecture, which is also part of the Taihu Lake basin. Henan Province also occupies part of the land north of the Yellow River. Guizhou Province is in the shape of a butterfly with a narrow middle and wide sides. There are 140 prefectures, 193 prefectures, and 1138 counties. The county level does not send the imperial history, you can send the eight small officials, and the prefectures all send the imperial history, don't forget, I brushed off more than 2,000 people last time, I promised to expand them in the future, and make them back, how many people are there in the prefecture combined? However, there are more than 300 people, so I plan to send two imperial histories to each of the prefectures, one is the stationmaster and the other is the stationmaster. More than three hundred multiplied by four, less than fifteen hundred. Wei Bao smiled: "I plan to expand the number of people by 3,000." Let the Metropolitan Procuratorate thoroughly supervise the entire Ming Dynasty. ”

Wang Ji listened to Wei Bao's words, and almost fainted, you are so angry, who are you when you are? If you can really do this, doesn't it mean that you have replaced the entire officialdom of the Ming Dynasty with the yamen of the Metropolitan Procuratorate? In the future, the common people will not look for the government or the yamen if they have something, and they will all look for the imperial history of your metropolitan procuratorate?

"Master Wei, I won't tell you, it's too much to spit." Wang Ji is about to brush his sleeves away.

Wei Bao smiled slightly: "Lord Wang, after you listen to me, you must think that I am going to replace the entire Ming officialdom, right?" No, the stations stationed in the local areas of the various metropolitan procuratorates are placed in the post stations in various places, and they are stationed, but they do not openly open the government and set up yamen, everything is done in secret, I think who can say anything? I just need everyone to understand that if you don't have so much power, you don't want to take so much money! Let everyone develop good habits. ”

"But." When Wang Ji heard Wei Bao say this, he stopped again, angry and angry, but he was really interested, and he wanted to find out what Wei Bao's thoughts were.

"Lord Wei, you really sent the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to the provincial capitals, prefectures and counties in various places, do you think the officials from all over the country will not make trouble with you? Won't it be resistant? Also, you are all the officials of the Ming Dynasty, so you have to maintain a good image, so it is convenient for you to directly show the price list of the dirty silver? Isn't this a thief shouting to catch a thief? The common people may not be convinced, right? The officials from top to bottom of the court are even more likely to impeach you Duchayuan and Dali Temple. Wang Jidao.

"You think too much, how can you say such a thing openly? Did your penal department run out into the streets, all over the world, shouting how to collect dirty silver? This is a general plan for the way the entire Ming officialdom collects dirty money! Sort out the order, who should collect how much, how to collect, and clarify the authority of officials at all levels. Even if we want to collect money, we can't collect it indiscriminately, how much power there is, how much money to collect! Not only will there be no chaos, but they will thank me! Do you think, the nine thousand years old acquiesced to my personnel changes to the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple, although the celebrant did not send it back, did not nod his head to agree, but did not object, what is this not acquiescence? Wei Bao asked.

Wang Ji was led away by Wei Bao's train of thought and nodded.

"Yes, since Nine Thousand Years Old acquiesced in me doing this, why can't I send more people to various places?" Wei Bao laughed.

Wang Ji thought for a while and took a sip of tea: "Master Wei, if you do this, if you really do it, you will become a celebrity through the ages!" Even when Grandpa Tai first established the Ming Dynasty, Liu Bowen, the first generation of the Imperial History of the Imperial Palace, may not be as famous as your Lord Wei. The post stations all over the Ming Dynasty are placed in the stations of the Duchayuan, how bold is this? Not only do you have to put so many imperial histories, but you also have to be accompanied by a lot of errands, otherwise, you won't even be able to report the news, let alone arrest people. ”

"So, we can cooperate, the servants and officials from all over your criminal department can cooperate with us, and you continue to use your set in handling cases, but when we don't have enough manpower, you can come and help us, and eat the defendant and the plaintiff, isn't this what your criminal department is good at? Moreover, I am not short of people, I just recruit people and grow the Tiandi merchants in various places. When you have something, you do business, and when you have nothing to do, you do business. Wei Bao laughed.

Wang Ji listened to Wei Bao's 'grand plan', and almost didn't faint, is this really daring to think? Although the Ming Dynasty did not explicitly prohibit officials from trading, it did not do business in such a high-profile manner?

Fortunately, Wei Bao is currently only a fifth-rank official, and if Wei Bao is a fourth-rank or above, he will be drowned with a notebook just by hiring someone from the firm to serve as an errand officer.

"Lord Wei, if you do this, you still divide the power and silver of my criminal department, even if I don't take you Lord Wei as a mortal enemy, the relationship between the criminal department and the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple will not be better! Let our people help you, don't think about it. "Wang Jidao: 'Okay, I know what Master Wei meant, I will go back and tell them, for cases that have not been settled before June, hurry up and get the money and hand it over to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and for cases after June, don't close your eyes and collect the money.'

"That's right." Wei Bao got up with a smile and said with a smile.
