Chapter 153: Both kindness and power

Instead of sitting down in his official position, he stood up and walked to the front of the stage, leaning on the desk behind him to count people. There were more than seventy officials of all sizes present, not too many, but not too few either.

After counting the number of people, he began to speak, "My lords, you must already know that I am the newly appointed censor. From now on, I have the final say in the censorship. Remember it all. I am the superior. You are the boss."

Subordinates, I can be arrogant on weekdays, but you can’t be arrogant."

The superior's instructions were meant to be listened to by the people below. Naturally, no one would answer. After a short pause, he said again, "How I became the imperial censor, you don't have to worry about it, and it's not your responsibility to worry about it. Don't keep it private."

Talking, I don’t like others talking about me privately. You just need to remember that you have to work with me in the future. I don’t care whose people you were before. From now on, you are all my people. As long as you are loyal to the Lord and serve the Lord with all your heart.

I can't treat you badly when I'm on errands. If anyone dares to rip you off and turn your elbows outward, it won't be a matter of losing your official position. I will directly cause your wife to be separated and your family to be destroyed."

Everyone in the hall was a civil servant. They had never seen such an arrogant officer, and had never heard such harsh words. They were frightened and shuddered in their hearts.

Seeing that everyone was scared and pale, he was quite satisfied. This was the effect he wanted. The best way to prevent betrayal was to increase the price of betrayal to a point where the betrayer could not bear it.

"I've already said all my ugly words. If you knowingly committed the crime, don't blame me for being cruel," he said coldly. "Don't come crying and begging me when the time comes. It's useless to beg. I won't give you a chance to correct yourself."

.Don’t eat food in the nest and lay eggs outside. That’s courting death, and you will definitely die.”

"Some of you should have heard of me," he left the desk and walked slowly down the hall, "I am Nkowu's top scholar, and I have a military background. I hate the bad habits of civil servants scheming and pretending to be aloof.

, From now on, there will be no internal strife and arguments in the Yushitai. There can only be one voice in the Yushitai, and that is my voice."

There was bleeding from the corner of the mouth of a person who had been beaten before. When he raised his hand to wipe the blood, he saw it and walked straight over. "No matter your superiority or inferiority, I will give you a light slap. How many people's legs have been broken by the Ni family's martial arts competition?"

I can’t even remember clearly.”

After saying that, he turned around and left. This person was already shaking with fear. If he continued to raise his eyebrows and glare, the other person might be scared to death.

It was said that Cao Cao had arrived. As soon as he mentioned the Ni family, a messenger came outside the door and announced, "Your Majesty Xiantai, someone from the Ni family wants to see you."

"Who?" he asked casually.

The officer knew that he was the son-in-law of the Ni family and did not dare to offend the Ni family, so he made an exception and brought the man in. When he heard the question, someone outside the door responded loudly, "Sir,

I am Ni Tai. I know that you have taken over the Yushitai, and I feel honored to do so. I have specially asked you to send me 10,000 taels of silver as a reward for your expenses. The silver taels have already arrived, and the carriage is parked outside the mansion."

Hearing Ni Tai's words, everyone in the hall looked at each other. The Ni family was indeed the richest man in the Tang Dynasty, with a casual salary of ten thousand taels. You must know that the annual salary of a seventh-grade official in office at this time was only twenty-five taels.

"Oh, just wait a moment," he turned around and looked around, "Who is in charge of money and food at Yushitai?"

"Sir, this is a lower official." Someone said, it was an old official in his sixties.

"Is our Yushitai short of money?" he asked.

The old official felt embarrassed when he heard this, "Que."

"How much is missing?" he asked again.

"The national treasury has not been very full in the past few years. We have not received any salary for more than two years," the old official said. "The money allocated by the Ministry of Revenue every year can only barely sustain..."

Before the old official could finish speaking, he waved his hand and interrupted him, "Okay, you go out and collect the money, sort out the salary owed by the imperial court to the officials of the headquarters, and all will be repaid later."

Everyone was scared to death one moment, and then they were overjoyed and got the money right away.

The old official responded respectfully and went out to accept the money. Ni Tai's voice came from outside the door again, "Sir, I want to ask if you will come back for dinner tonight?"

The atmosphere in the hall was originally very tense, but Ni Tai's shout made him less serious. Knowing that the Ni family had something to discuss with him, he casually said, "Go back and eat. Hey, get some food for the guests."

I can't get used to eating like that."

Ni Tai responded happily and took the old official to move the money.

He frowned and cursed, "Our Yushitai Supervisor Baiguan, and these guys from the Household Department dare to deduct our money and food. We must find an opportunity to show them some shame."

Being interrupted by Ni Tai, he couldn't regain his previous emotions and forgot where he was talking, so he turned to look at Da Tou, Da Tou understood and pointed to his legs.

Not understanding what Datou meant, he simply restarted the conversation, "I'm young, and I won't pretend to be mature with you, but you can't be disrespectful just because I'm young, and I don't need you to be groveling to me, but you must be polite when you talk to me.

A little bit. Also, I don’t believe in the idea that good medicine tastes bitter and good advice offends the ears. If you find any mistakes on my part, you can remind me tactfully, but please don’t say unpleasant things to me. Even if you are right, I

I don’t like to hear it either.”

Hearing the words, everyone in the hall nodded. What they said was human nature. Almost everyone had the same idea. The difference was that they dared to say it directly.

He added, "Even if you don't like what I do, don't try to stop me from correcting it. At most, you can only give me suggestions, which I may not necessarily adopt. Don't act smart, pretend to be a loyal minister, or give me suggestions in a claptrap."

Opinion, that won't earn me respect, it will only arouse my disgust."

Everyone nodded after hearing this. If other people had thought about these words in their hearts, they would never say them out loud. Dare to say them out, it shows that he has a true young mind and passionate temperament.

"By the way, I forgot to introduce you to you, this person's surname is Yang, and this person's surname is Fu," Yang Kai and Da Touchong introduced to everyone, "Both of them are Jinshi in the same ranking of martial arts, and they are also appointed by the emperor as Shi Yushi

, if you have any comments or suggestions in the future, you can mention them to them. They are not as busy as me and have time to listen."

After saying this, the two of them bowed their hands to everyone in greeting, and everyone hurriedly returned the gift.

"I originally wanted to say a few more words, but I guess you don't have the heart to listen anymore. You should all be thinking about receiving your salary," he said with a smile, "As I said before, I am the most loyal person. As long as you are loyal,

Second, do your job with all your heart, your affairs are my business, whether it is official or private matters, I will give you my full help. If you have evil intentions and turn your elbows outward, then don’t blame me for being ruthless and causing harm to my wife and children." .??.

He spoke straightforwardly, and everyone understood clearly what he valued most and what he hated the most, and they all expressed their determination to serve him wholeheartedly and assist him loyally.

"Okay, let's get down to business," he said. "Some of you who arrived late may not understand the situation. Feng Zhongcheng worked too hard. I asked him to go home and rest. I won't be able to see him in the future. Please don't make random suspicions."

Then he pointed at those who were beaten and said, "You guys, don't cry in despair. Even though Mr. Fu is only three and a half feet tall, he is a martial arts master. If he exerts his full strength, he can kill you with one punch."

Hearing this, the person who was beaten hurriedly responded in embarrassment, and even had to thank him for showing mercy to him.

"We've been beaten, and I can only blame you for your lack of vision. Let's do this. We will pay your salary later, and each of you will receive an extra year of salary." He said.

The few people who were beaten hurriedly refused in fear. This attitude was already a step down for them, and they could not get any more money.

"Don't be polite, it's settled. Let's take a walk and see how much ten thousand taels is?" He walked towards the door.

Everyone hurriedly followed behind.

He was in a good mood, but the people behind him had mixed emotions. The happy thing was that this guy was the God of Wealth, and he was very loyal. As long as you didn't stray from him, you would definitely not suffer any loss if you followed him honestly. The sad thing was that he had a martial arts background.

, young and successful, bold and bold, no one can guess what extraordinary things he will do in the future, and you may be implicated if you follow him.

At this time, most of the officials were present, so they took the opportunity to inquire about the internal affairs of the Yushitai. The Yushitai had everything except money, a canteen for eating, stables for raising horses, and prisons for prisoners. In addition to more than seventy large and small

officials, and more than 300 yamen servants. Three hundred yamen servants are not too few. You must know that at this time, a county government only had about 40 yamen servants. The most important thing is that the main task of the Yushitai is to supervise all officials.

Instead of arresting people to handle the case, three hundred would be enough.

When everyone went to the front yard, the carriage had already arrived. They thought there were several carriages, but who would have thought that there was only one carriage. If you think about it carefully, it is ten thousand taels, not ten thousand catties, and ten thousand taels is only about six hundred catties.

The four boxes were not very big, but the silver was relatively heavy. It was too heavy to lift. When I went to open the box, I saw that it was filled with white silver collars. At this time, most of the official silver was silver collars.

, its image is like a rectangle being held in the middle, and each silver collar is exactly fifty taels.

I didn't feel that much shock, but the people behind me were shocked. Seeing this image, they said with disdain, "The Censor's Office, which supervises all officials, is short of silver. Is it because you don't know how to handle errands, or the civil and military officials don't know how to do it?"

work?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's hearts beat faster and their blood surged up. The implication was very obvious, life with such a commander would definitely be easy in the future.

After accepting the silver, he ordered people to go out to buy food, and cooked a banquet in the dining hall. Originally, he did not drink alcohol, but this time he activated his spiritual energy to dissolve the hangover, and had a good drink with his subordinates. Drinking has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that after drinking, you will get drunk.

There is an excuse for doing bad things. The disadvantage is that you are not clear-headed after drinking, and it is easy to do bad things.

Everyone didn't know that he was using his spiritual energy to relieve his hangover. They just thought that he was a man who never got drunk after a thousand drinks. After drinking so much, half of the officials in the headquarters were drunk, and the rest just gritted their teeth and held on.

Although he had the power of spiritual energy to dissolve alcohol, he still felt a little dazed after drinking too much. Seeing that he could no longer drink, he called the captain of the headquarters and ordered him to summon a hundred yamen servants urgently.

The captain didn't know why and asked doubtfully, "Sir, what do you want to do?"
