Lord of the House

Jinchuan Island makes use of the swallow-tail-shaped rock fills at the southern end of the island and uses it as a dock. The Yanweiji pier is very small, barely able to berth official ships with a capacity of 500 stone. The official ships painted in dark red are parked on the pier. Drive out, block waterways.

The next morning, before boarding the boat, Gu Wuchen stood on the rock and looked around. The south bank was very close, and the water surface was only a mile wide. The vegetation on the river bank, the fishing boats and merchant ships that used to be on the left and right cordons were all visible, and there were even many. The villagers were attracted to the river embankment to watch the lively scene; their eyes crossed the prison island, and the north was swaying toward the sky, watching the blue-black ridges and shorelines extend intermittently in the sky.

Lin Bie stood beside Gu Wuchen. He didn't know what kind of mood Gu Wuchen had when he looked up. Did he feel that he had a long way to go when he came to Jiangning? Lin Bie looked at the direction of the Jinchuan Estuary from time to time. Gu Wuchen agreed to expand the Yanweiji Wharf, deep wash the waterway, and extend it to both sides, so that the wharf could moor two to three Qianshi or even larger river boats. The Jinchuan River estuary was built to connect to the prison island, but Lin Fu had to find a way for the money needed. The commissioner could not allocate a tael of silver, and it was hard to imagine that the commissioner would agree to take out the special money.

Lin Fu only needs to press the name of the inspector. Although Lin Jingzhong still has six or seven thousand taels of silver in his hand, he can't do much, but he can always support it for a while.

Yang Pu went back to the city by boat with Gu Wuchen, adjusted the brown leather armor for his son Yang Shi, looked at Lin Fu and Gu Wuchen standing aside, he patted his son on the shoulder, and said: "It's not as much as being by the side of the adults, on the prison island, you have more See more, learn less, talk less and ask less things..." Yang Pu and Lin Fu have known each other for nearly three months, and he knows that this person has talent, skills, and ambition. He believes that Gu Wuchen is fully capable of controlling Lin Fu's ambition at this time, but He was worried that his son did not know how to act on the prison island, so he reminded him. When he was exiled to join the army with Gu Wuchen, he took Yang Shi with him since he was a child. Gu Wuchen also regarded Yang Shi as his own son and nephew. Even if Yang Shi was at fault, Gu Wuchen could tolerate it.

"I remember it in my heart," Yang Shi said.

"That's good..." Yang Pu watched Gu Wuchen board the official ship, and he followed.

Lin Fu stood in front of Yanweiji Pier, watching Gu Wuchen's official ship sailing into the mouth of Jinchuan River to cover the river bank, only the towering main mast could be seen.

Compared with the crowds on the Yanweiji pier yesterday, there were only a few people who came to the pier with Lin Fu to send Gu Wuchen off the island.

*****

Gu Wuchen left by boat to go back to the city. Nearly 30 prisoners including Zhou Shide, Jiang Jin, and Cao Xun were taken back to the city for trial. They extorted the prisoners for money. treatment of others. The other 150 soldiers were not convicted on the basis of coercion, but they were all unarmed and transferred back by boat for another disposal. Gu Wuchen would definitely not leave these troubles to Lin Fu to digest.

Sun Geng, the head of the prison office, was promoted to the first level and stayed in the post because he was law-abiding and proficient in official affairs.

The officials of the Dayue Dynasty were divided into nine grades, and each grade was divided into eighteen grades. Lin Fu served as the jailer of Jiangdao Dao, and he was the ninth grade official. It can be said that he was the last grade of inflow officials.

In addition to the inflow officials, the Dayue Dynasty also had out-flow officials, usually also called officials, and divided into nine classes, with the out-flow officials being the highest.

Ordinary people don't know the difference between officials and officials. Take the example of a thousand years later. The officials are the leaders of the party and government at all levels, and the officials are ordinary civil servants. Although officials and officials are both within the reach of ordinary people, there is a world of difference between officials and officials.

In the Dayue Dynasty, only those who entered the stream and became officials had a regular salary, and they were considered to be big figures who really ate the royal food. There were regulations on the amount of regular salary every year. The superintendent of the prison also manages the local prison. No matter how bad the county lieutenant, the county chief, and the county clerk are, they are also the chief officers of a county. No matter how bad the inspection department is, the inspection department is also the top leader of the township.

Changsun Geng was promoted to the "Second-Class Outer Class" prison secretary, only two steps away from becoming an official. It was only two steps away. If Chang Sun Geng was born with a reputation as a scholar, he would not be able to make it in half his life if he didn't have the chance or had a strong backer.

In addition to Chang Sun Geng, there were two class leaders who were not implicated in this cleanup, one surnamed Shi and the other Mao. These two people were not involved in the case, not because they were clean and strong, but because they had a deep personal conflict with Zhou Shide, the secretary, they were rejected together.

Since they are not involved in the case, they are naturally promoted and retained. After going through this jail time, they will cherish this errand even more. Nearly 20 officers under the two squad leaders, Shi and Mao, were also retained.

The previous officers and class leaders were all set up with full prisons. In fact, after the prison city proposal was rejected, the prisoners on the prison island have always been between two or three hundred people, far from reaching the level of full prisons. It's just that people in the yamen are never allowed in. The officers, squad leaders, and officers are all set up. If the number of prisoners is insufficient and the officers and officers are to be cut, it will be extremely difficult. It has been maintained like this for eight or nine years. . At this time, the four squad leaders were arrested and brought to justice, and the 40 officers involved in the case were also transferred out of the island to be dealt with separately. The remaining two squad leaders led 20 officers to work on the prison island. Yang Shi led 60 soldiers to guard the island.

Gu Wuchen and Lin Fu talked all night. In addition to accepting the various suggestions put forward by Lin Fu, he also promised him a privilege, that is, the staffing of prison island officials and soldiers will not be reduced or increased for the time being. When people came to the island, the vacancy formed by this prison clearing was left to Lin Bie's disposal.

There is a fixed amount of money that can be paid by the inspector and envoy every year, and almost every penny is useful. It is too involved to squeeze more than a thousand taels of silver every year to allocate to the prison island. On the one hand, Lin Bie wanted to reform the prison island in a drastic manner. Gu Wuchen also tacitly allowed Lin Bie to recruit people on the prison island by himself.

In addition, Gu Wuchen also promised Lin Fu to transfer Zhao Hu to the military position, starting with the lowest military officer.

After Gu Wuchen left, Lin Bie brought Zhang Sun Geng, Yang Shi, Shi and Mao to the front hall of the Prison Department. He smiled and asked everyone to sit down in front of his case and said, "Everyone will be here in the future. On the prison island, we will help each other in the same boat. If there is any problem on the prison island, the commissioner will be the first to accuse me of the crime, but you don’t want to get rid of the relationship; if the prison island is well managed, it will be appreciated by the peak. My benefits, everyone, don't worry that I will forget you. Now that there are fewer people, will you feel hard..."

Changsun Geng, Shi, and Mao were still in a state of anxiety. Who would have thought that after only one night's work, the prison island had only been cleared of prison, and only 12 of the original officers and soldiers remained. Lin Fu had always treated them nicely these days. , at this time, I deeply realized that Lin Fu's genial look hides a murderous intention, and said hurriedly: "Serve the adults, work hard..."

"Don't say goodbye, there is one less clerk and four less class leaders. In the future, the burden on each of you will be more than double than before. I know very well," Lin Fu said, "By the inspector general There is also a shortage of manpower over there. The manpower shortage on the prison island should be solved slowly. If the burden on your body is heavier, it should be heavier. However, each person's labor, food and silver will be increased by 50% on the original basis. I can make the decision... …but!"

Changsun Geng was overjoyed when he heard that the work, food and silver would be increased by 50%. Changsun Geng is a book office and an official. If he doesn't want to blackmail prisoners or their families, his only source of income is food and money. He knows that the island will not increase the number of personnel for the time being, but the Commissioner will not reduce the number of officers and soldiers here. In this way, the prison island can get more than a thousand taels of empty money every year, but this empty amount How the money is used is entirely up to Lin Fu. Even if Lin Fu wants to swallow the empty amount by himself, they can only watch it. At this time, Lin Fu promised to add 50% to everyone's work, food and silver, and he was naturally happy, but when Lin Fu spat out the word "but", he suddenly became a bit murderous. Lin Bie glanced at him, and saw that his brows were slightly raised, and his face was a little more severe~www.wuxiaspot.com~ After getting along for the past few days, especially after being cleared from prison yesterday, he didn't dare to treat this new young boss in his heart. Neglect.

Lin Bing's voice was a little harsher and continued: "...If you let me know which of you lynching prisoners and extorting money is afraid of the rules of the prison, I will send you to prison to enjoy the taste of being lynched and blackmailed. , Wu pawns, each person's wages and salaries will be increased by 30% on the original basis. You should explain my words to them seriously and seriously. If any of your subordinates have problems, I will investigate you first. responsibility! Remember all?"

"Remember." Changsun Geng, Yang Shi, Li and Mao all responded immediately.

"That's good," Lin Fu put his hands on the case, and said to the eldest Sun Geng, "Yang Dianwei came to Prison Island for the first time, and his military soldiers also just came to guard the prison. , you explained to him in detail today; I am going to the South Bank before noon, if there is any urgent matter on this island, the eldest grandson will handle it randomly..." He said to Yang Shi, "Since Zhao Hu has entered the military post, he is in prison. On the island, I'll let you dispatch it first."

After all, Yang Shi was not as sophisticated as his father. He knew in his heart that Zhao Hu was Lin Fu's henchman, and he shouldn't have sent Zhao Hu directly, but for a while, he couldn't think of what to do to be more tactful, so he had to agree in a muffled voice.

"Should we postpone the fishing for two days?" asked Chang Sun Geng.

"Why do you want to postpone?" Lin Fu asked, "After I leave, you and Yang Dianwei will guard together when I go fishing..." The ten prisoners who were fishing were strictly selected, and there would be no problems. The other prisoners were imprisoned within the high wall. If they were not worried about possible external shocks, the number of guards would be doubled, and only thirty people could take care of them. My QT room is open!
