Chapter 39 The Age of Civil Officials
Guo Wei ordered the arrest of people, but the officials who were ordered to arrive at the residences of the two families, and Murong Yan Chao and Yan Jinqing were all gone. When the news came, Guo Wei was shocked.
According to Feng Dao's report, Liu Yun will enter Beijing in 5 days. At this moment, they ran away. What if it affects the overall situation?
Guo Wei immediately ordered Chai Rong to find the traces of these two people and be sure to catch him back.
There are state-controlled affairs, and Ye Hua also has Ye Hua's affairs. He was appointed as the deputy envoy of Hequ. In just over two months, he has already obtained three official positions.
Chen Shi simply didn't know what to say! This guy is not as good as a good relationship as he works hard. He sighed: "That Fan Zhi heard that he has a beard, so he has become a deputy envoy. Huazi is also a deputy envoy, and he doesn't know where his old face is put!" Chen Shi cared about Ye Hua very much and leaned closer and said: "That old guy is jealous of you. Maybe he puts you on small shoes. You have to be careful, but it's okay. You two are the same official positions, what are you afraid of?"
"I'm afraid of you!"
Ye Hua pushed Chen Shi hard, "I'm afraid your mental retardation will be contagious, which will make me stupid too!"
Chen Shi glared and raised his fist. He dared to say that I was mentally retarded and wouldn't give me an explanation. We're not finished!
Ye Hua sighed, "The deputy envoy and the deputy envoy are different. I am in charge of rivers and canals. To put it bluntly, they are digging trenches and dams to work. They are the deputy envoy of Privy Councilor, the deputy envoy of Privy Councilor! Do you understand?"
Chen Shi scratched his head, "It seems that I understand. By the way, isn't that Wang Jun a Privy Councilor? This Privy Councilor's Deputy Privy Councilor?"
"It's his deputy, and he also divides his power!"
"Oh! The regent is to show Wang Lao Piao's color!"
Finally, Ye Hua gave him a look of praise, not as stupid as he was yet to be home!
When it comes to Fan Zhi, Ye Hua was very surprised and a little afraid.
Among the well-known wise men of all ages, it seems that Fan Zhi does not have the same person as Fan Zhi, but speaking of it, Fan Zhi's contribution is definitely no worse than that of any one!
He was a Jinshi during the Changxing period of the Later Tang Dynasty. He was well-informed and meticulous. He was appreciated and promoted by Sang Weihan, the prime minister of the Later Jin Dynasty, and became a Hanlin bachelor. When the establishment of the Later Zhou Dynasty, Guo Wei appointed Fan Zhi as prime minister. From then on, Fan Zhi assisted Guo Wei, Chai Rong, Zhao Kuangyin, and three generations of emperors, and realized the rule from chaos to rule. Many rules and regulations of the Northern Song Dynasty were all left by Fan Zhi. By the way, even Wei Renpu, the leader who was trusted by Guo Wei, could only be inferior to Fan Zhi!
As Feng Dao speculated, Boss Guo began to appoint a large number of civil officials, different, different. With Fan Zhi restrained him, Wang Jun could not make any tricks. The chaotic world finally rebounded, and Ye Hua was in a very good mood.
But since Fan Zhi is so powerful, you must be careful and never show your handle. Otherwise, if you are targeted by a civil servant, you will be much more cruel than the warriors. These guys can sell you, and you will also ask you to pay the mortgage for your own money!
Ye Hua was stunned for a while and asked someone to call Ye Zhong, Ye Xiao and six beggars, plus Chen Shi, a total of seven. Ye Hua had a calm face and showed off his boss's majesty.
"Listen to me. From now on, you must be a man with your tail between your legs, study and practice martial arts honestly, don't run around without any trouble, and make me less trouble! Be careful that I can't protect you!"
He warned fiercely, and Ye Zhong and others nodded immediately, not daring to neglect them.
Chen Shi shook his head, "In our family, you are the one who can toss the most, and you are the one who should be careful!"
"If you don't speak, then you'll be mute!"
Ye Hua quickly laughed again. The use of civil officials means that there are more and more rules and more constraints. When the vast majority of people are restrained, the world will be peaceful and also lose a lot of freedom... At least Guo Wei will not be promoted casually in the future.
"Okay, you guys come out of the city with me."
"What do you see?"
"Of course I'm looking at the Bian River. Don't forget that I'm the deputy envoy of the river and canal, and I have to do my job well."
...
Ye Hua and his wife came out of the Zhuque Gate. If they kept moving forward, it would be Nanxun Gate. Almost a hundred years later, the famous brothels would pay homage to a guy named Liu Qi here. Of course, there is no Liu Qi now, and there is even Nanxun Gate!
Nanxun Gate is a city gate in the outer city of Bianliang. It was only started when Chai Rong was in power. The current Kaifeng is a large circle smaller than Kaifeng in the Northern Song Dynasty.
Some people may think that in the chaos, the day is in danger, and all industries will be depressed and miserable. It is of course good to think about it, but in the midst of the bleakness, there are always some special cases.
For example, outside the Zhuque Gate, many businessmen gathered, with stalls next to each other, and there was no end at a glance.
Ye Hua came to see him in order to open a hotel. At first, he didn't understand why everyone was willing to go out for a risky business, and these merchants looked helpless.
Don’t worry about the chaos in the world, it’s always good to have some money in your purse. You can still buy your life if you encounter trouble, right?
In fact, it was not only the merchants who caused the prosperity in front of them, but the court also put in the effort.
That’s right! It’s the court!
During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, wars were fought almost every day, and military pay was required to fight. Therefore, in addition to levying heavy taxes, the court also found ways to make money.
For example, in the first year of Changxing in the Later Tang Dynasty, 230 Huainan tourists were allowed to trade at one time. The following year, the number of people suddenly increased to 1,088, which shows how large the scale of trade was.
Including Liu Zhiyuan, the Emperor of the Later Han Dynasty, he also strongly supported the development of business. He even summoned merchants from both north and south in the palace to show their jewelry and trade them in the palace.
Such a strange behavior can only happen in this chaotic world.
Now that Guo Wei is the governor, he exempted the cattle rent and issued another order to exempt the tax from trafficking of plowing oxen and war horses from other places, and also required that Jianghuai merchants not be troubled along the way. If you hear that you are stranded, you must investigate the crime!
It was these people who worked tirelessly to bring tea silk from the southeast, including bulk food!
Outside the Suzaku Gate, it was three more lively than usual.
Ye Hua admired the rare excitement, and here he smelled a trace of the smell of later generations, which made people very happy. Originally, Ye Hua wanted to go directly to Biankou to see the silt of the canal, but he slowed down.
Suddenly, there was an argument not far from Ye Hua, about a few stalls across.
Several soldiers were obviously drunk, holding swords and weapons in one hand and a roll of cloth in the other, shouting and cursing: "Listen to me. After so many years, no one dares to lie to me. You have eaten the courage of the bear heart and leopard!"
"Yes, you kid is impatient and dare to earn our bad money. Believe it or not, I will dig out your heart and drink it!"
Junhan shouted, lifting up the knife, he really wanted to start!
Behind the stall, the merchant who bought cloth had a green face, his legs were trembling constantly, and he kept begging.
But those military men were not willing to listen. They grabbed his neck, tore their clothes open, and exposed their chests, and they really wanted to make a fuss!
When the vendors around him saw it, they all unconsciously retreated. Some people simply carried the pick and ran away, fearing that blood would splash on their bodies. Looking at the vendors' embarrassing appearance, the military man laughed and proudly.
Chen Shi saw it and couldn't help but clench his fists.
"Huazi, you said you wouldn't let us get too troublesome, but the matter came up!"
He strode forward to stand up for the injustice.
At this moment, someone suddenly shouted: "Treat the murder in the street and take it down immediately!"
As he said that, more than a dozen officials rushed up.
Those military men were not convinced and sneered, "Aren't they just yamen runners? You have become spirits too! Do you dare to capture me?"
The military man shouted, but the other party didn't care at all. He surrounded them and tripped them with ropes, and took them all off. At this time, the leading yamen run to an official in his fifties.
"Qi reported to Mr. Fan, the prisoner has been taken down!"
The "Guangmao Fan" nodded. He walked over, looked at the military men, snorted in his nose, then walked directly to the front of the stall, and bowed: "Don't be afraid, my husband is called Fan Zhi. After being ordered by the state to supervise the construction of a new city, he wants to circle the outside of the Zhuque Gate. This new city is for merchants from both north and south to live in!"
Fan Zhi's words welcomed a lot of cheers, and some people who were about to run stopped.
Fan Zhi said again: "Please rest assured that from now on, I will strictly enforce the law. Who dares to disrupt the order and punish them strictly! "
"Bring people up!"
