After sending off the officials who came to visit the room, Xu Ping returned to the study, stretched his waist, and sat down at the desk. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Xiuxiu took the tea and said, "I thought I would be more idle when I went out of the capital, but I didn't expect to be so busy." ”

Xu Ping smiled: "It's just to see guests, and it's not to deal with official business, how can this be considered busy?" Everyone has seen it, where are there so many people every day? Even if they come, I won't see them. ”

"That is, when you get to the place, why bother so much. Jingxi all the way, not all under the control of officials, as long as you arrange people to do it, and don't take care of everything. When we were in Yongzhou, the officials did it very easily. ”

Xu Ping patted Xiuxiu's hand and said with a smile: "It's not that I was relaxed at that time, but you were ignorant at that time, and you knew how to play everywhere." Now that I'm older and know what's going on, I see that I'm busy all day. Well, you don't care about my business. Knowing too much annoys you, and it also makes people gossip, it is taboo for women to interfere in politics! ”

"You just let me know that I can't afford that heart, what kind of woman is in politics! Then I will only care about you eating and dressing in the future, and what if I can't see with my eyes and hear with my ears? ”

Xu Ping shook his head and smiled, no longer paying attention to Xiuxiu, closing his eyes and thinking about his thoughts.

The superintendent and marshal department at the road level have no administrative functions, and there are very few subordinate officials. Taking the transfer envoy department as an example, only the transfer envoy, the deputy envoy and the judge, and the general path of the deputy envoy and the judge is not juxtaposed. Jingxi Road is in the heart of the world, and the establishment is relatively large, there are envoys, deputies and judges, but that's all. There were no assistants below, only some low-level civil officials and low-level military attachés were ready to send envoys, similar to public officials. Now Tan Hu is the envoy who is preparing to send the transfer envoy.

In other words, the Transit Envoy Division is actually a few chief officers with a group of retinues, who can only complete the work of inspecting places and checking accounts, and no matter what else is done, they must rely on the following states and counties. Because they had to patrol all the prefectures and counties under their jurisdiction every year, so that the deputy judges could act separately, and there were no months of the year when they could stay in the yamen.

If Xu Ping wants to start his own economic reform here, it is not enough to rely on these people. Now the deputy envoy Yang Su is in Luoyang City, and the official is in Xiangzhou, and the two are Xu Ping's earliest team to return to Beijing, and they are both effective, but they have no extra energy to take care of economic matters.

First of all, it is necessary to have manpower, and it is best to add two judges, and when going out to patrol, someone can sit in the yamen of the transfer envoy. Don't make an inspection of the place, and the transfer envoy will become an empty yamen, and you can't even upload and distribute official documents. Then there must be a few subordinate officials below who can handle daily affairs, so that they can have the energy to grasp the economy all the way.

But how easy is it to increase the number of staff? It is precisely in order to prevent the government institutions at the road level from sitting large and threatening the imperial court, so that the current situation has been formed. The local establishment is not as good as the court, and it is difficult to increase one person.

Xu Ping felt a little headache, and he had to come up with a reason to flesh out this yamen.

At this moment, Tan Hu reported outside: "Official, there is a person outside who said that he is a member of Zhang Xianggong's clan and came to ask for a meeting." ”

"Oh, let him wait in the Little Flower Hall first, and I'll be there shortly."

I didn't expect the Zhang family to send someone so soon, but it didn't match the dilapidated appearance. Xu Ping retracted his thoughts and asked Tan Hu to reply, standing up.

Xiuxiu, who was sitting idly reading a book, said: "I've only been sitting for a while, and I'm going out to meet guests again?" ”

"This is not an ordinary guest, it is the family of Zhang Wenjie's father-in-law. After Zhang Xianggong passed away, his family was in the middle of the road, and now his house is dilapidated, which makes people sigh. I asked them to find a capable person in the family, and find a money-making business in Luoyang City, so as to maintain the family business. ”

Xiuxiu sighed: "Zhang Xianggong is really a good person, but he didn't enjoy many days of wealth, it's a pity." ”

Zhang Zhibai was born in a weak body, and after becoming the prime minister, he had a lot of worries, and he didn't last a few years, which is indeed a pity.

When he arrived at the small flower hall, Xu Ping saw a man in his thirties standing there, dressed in short brown, and he could see that he was a man who worked every day, and he had a good impression in his heart. He was most afraid that the Zhang family would hear that they were looking for a shrewd and capable person, but as a result, two flamboyant people who couldn't do the right thing would make him embarrassed.

Seeing Xu Ping coming in, Zhang Liping hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Little Zhang Liping, I have seen Ducao officials." ”

"No need to be polite." Xu Ping looked at Zhang Liping, saw that his expression was calm, and when he got closer, he could see that his hands were full of calluses, and he nodded secretly in his heart. "Are you from the Zhang Xianggong clan? What does it have to do with the current head of the house? ”

"Before inheriting the Prime Minister's incense, they were little cousins who grew up together."

"Then it's not an outsider, just sit down and talk."

Xu Ping sat down, saw that Zhang Liping was still standing there, and asked, "Why don't you sit?" ”

"Officials are officials, and small people are people, how can they sit on an equal footing? If there is any command, the little one will stand and listen. ”

This is an official office, not their own home, and according to the regulations, civilians cannot sit with officials, not to mention civilians, and officials who are generally bought cannot sit. Xu Ping is no longer reluctant, and he still has to abide by the rules of officialdom.

After letting the entourage serve tea, Xu Ping asked casually: "Look at you, you usually work, I don't know what to do?" ”

"Back to the officials, the little ones do some odd jobs, earn some money to buy some firewood and rice, and feed the family. Recently, because the three shops often buy goods there, there is a lack of manpower for transportation, and the small ones are begging for a living there. ”

Xu Ping's heart moved, and asked Zhang Liping: "I heard from my subordinates that there is a group of idlers near the shop, who want to take care of the work of carrying goods in the shop." I wonder if there is such a thing? Who are those? ”

Zhang Liping didn't expect Xu Ping to know about it, thought about it in his heart, and finally decided to tell the truth. The dignified envoy who is in charge of Caoxian's transport all the way, is there still a group of idlers?

Bowing his hand to Xu Ping, Zhang Liping said: "Back to the officials, those idlers are not good people, they occupied a vegetable garden near the shop in the early years, and they are not good at growing vegetables to make a living, but they are just abducted and deceived, which is a big scourge around." Yesterday, the little ones went to the shop to do work, and Brother Qing also talked about them, and they didn't want to provoke them. When I didn't want the little ones to go home after finishing their work, I was blocked by this group of idlers on the road, saying that they were not allowed to work in the shop again, otherwise they would break my legs. ”

Hearing this, Xu Pingzhi frowned: "In Luoyang City, the Sansi shop is still in the center of the city, and there is such a thing in broad daylight?" ”

"The officials don't know that Luoyang City covers a vast area, with few households, and it is the center of the city, and if it is not a prosperous place, you will not see a pedestrian for a day. There are a lot of robberies in broad daylight. ”

Now Luoyang, from the perspective of Xu Ping's previous life, is a garden-like city, full of green gardens. But in this era, it's not so beautiful, the government can't control it at all, and anything can happen.

Of course, a local tyrant like Sick Lieutenant Chi mainly relied on someone in the government to take care of him, otherwise he would have been knocked out a long time ago.

The shop of the three divisions is Xu Ping's painstaking work, and after arriving in Luoyang, he immediately recruited relevant people to inquire carefully, and Director Zheng said what he told himself in a happy manner, and Xu Ping also knew that someone wanted to contract the goods handling of the shop. It's just that he didn't know the details of the sick lieutenant Chi and his group, and thought it was a coolie worker, but he didn't expect it to be a street gangster.

After thinking about it, Xu Ping asked Zhang Liping: "How much money can you earn by carrying goods in the Sansi shop for a day?" ”

"It depends on what kind of cargo it is. If it is a heavy cargo, if you do it desperately, you can earn a hundred and ten yuan, but this kind of opportunity is not a few times a year. Normally, it's only thirty or fifty at most. ”

Xu Ping felt a little incredible: "Those idlers can make a living with dozens of dollars a day? ”

"Back to the official, the little ones can't figure it out. They are all in groups, and they are dedicated to cheating people in the market. In the past, I could just catch a carp from the Luohe River, buy it in the market, and a few people could earn a few hundred wen a day, how could I look at this kind of coolie for a living? Maybe they have other means, and the small ones can't think of it. ”

"Hmph, what can you do? It's nothing more than cheating, cheating, stealing! I know about this, Luoyang is the royal capital, how can this kind of person be allowed to run amok? If you want to take over the work of the third shop, you must not have any good intentions, and you have already removed the seriousness! ”

During the Sui and Tang dynasties, the vicinity of Tianjin Bridge was the first prosperous place in the world, no less than the area of the Daxiangguo Temple of the State Bridge in the capital now, but I did not expect that now it would fall into the rampant thieves in the daytime. Luoyang is not like Kaifeng City, the city is directly governed by Kaifeng Prefecture, here the city is divided into Luoyang and Henan counties in charge, there is the place of demarcation, fish and dragons are mixed. After this incident, Xu Ping wanted to call the magistrates of the two counties to his yamen and ask them to make a letter to ensure that they would be cleaned up within a limited time. With such chaos in the heart of the city, how can the city's economy develop?

After chatting with gossip, Xu Ping asked Zhang Liping: "What do you do to make a living?" I'll give you a closer look. ”

Zhang Liping said embarrassedly: "If you don't hide it from the officials, the small ones will listen to them and do coolies." Originally, I thought that I had saved some money by doing odd jobs in the past two years, so I went to the restaurant next to me to sell wine on credit, but I didn't save enough money. ”

Xu Ping couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "It's not easy to make a living, one is hard, and the other is to manage yourself carefully, otherwise it will be in vain in the end." To tell you the truth, my family originally sold wine, and I first sold wine on credit from a restaurant, and later earned a restaurant. Since I became a jinshi, my father should not sell wine directly. ”

"Where do you dare to think so far? I just want to have a stable livelihood. ”

In fact, Xu Zheng did not open a restaurant by selling wine to save money, but because he married Zhang Sanniang, he inherited his father-in-law's family business. If he just sells wine with a barrel, he can't even make a small foot shop.

Xu Ping thought for a while and said to Zhang Liping: "Yes, since this is the case, I will find you a living on this wine." There are a lot of ships coming and going on the Luo River, and there will be more and more goods on the wharf in the future, so I will find a way from there. ”

(Note: There was a bug in the front, and the transfer envoy on Jingxi Road was written as Yang Xu, and Wang Yong was picked up, so it should be the deputy transfer envoy.) When I have the opportunity, I will change the front one, readers forgive me.

Also, I was a little uncomfortable in the past two days, and I couldn't concentrate on the codeword. I'll keep it updated and adjust it as soon as possible, readers forgive me. So far, people are indeed a little tired, and I will adjust as soon as possible. (To be continued.) )
