"If you really want to hear it, I'll give you a few words." Perhaps for the sake of money, the guard stopped and pulled Sun Yuanhua to the corner of the corridor outside.

Li Xiao followed behind like a curious child. He knew a little about the dirty things in the Yamen, but he had never thought of it being so blatant.

This is much worse than the police officers in Liaoyang back then, who were very bad at eating and drinking.

"You're in trouble, we just came from out of town and don't know anything!" Sun Yuanhua took out a few more copper brothers and stuffed them into the hands of the officer.

The guard stuffed the copper coins into his pocket, then pointed at the people inside and said, "Do you think you can get things done if you line up early?"

"What...?" Sun Yuanhua was a little confused. He came to the queue early, and he was naturally the first in line.

Even if he is not the first one, at least he is in the front row. According to what he said, he can handle more than 20 people a day, so he can get in no matter what.

"You are the only one who is a thief, and everyone else is a stick? They are all holding back their bad intentions. Come and wait at six or seven o'clock in the morning.

There are still people waiting at four or five o'clock. You think it's four or five o'clock. Then there are people waiting at midnight!

Let me tell you this, look at the door after the service is over. There are people waiting to queue up for tomorrow!

There are a lot of people taking turns queuing, and each person takes two hours. Can you beat them?"

"...!" Sun Yuanhua shook his head silently, he really couldn't wait in line. Who has the energy to queue up here all night long to do things?

"If you want to be ranked in the queue, you have to buy from those at the front. Let me tell you, the cheapest is four silver dollars." The guard held out four carrot-like fingers.

"Four?" Sun Yuanhua's eyes almost bulged out in surprise.

Li Xiao's eyes widened even more. He didn't expect to pay so much money to do something.

"You don't have to pay four silver dollars if you don't want to. Every night, the night guard will secretly let in five people. This is a rule, neither more nor less.

As for why there are five, I don’t know. Anyway, five people are brought in, and these five people can lay the floor in the lobby where the work is done.

You can do it for two silver dollars!" The officer held out two fingers again.

"Two...!" Sun Yuanhua was even more confused now. What can be done with two silver dollars, why should Mao spend four?

Li Xiao also stretched his neck, waiting to hear the answer.

"But you know, these two silver coins are actually in vain. Because no matter how complete your materials are, the people who handle them will find faults if they don't get the money. Return your materials!

When you go back and prepare the materials, I'm sorry to have to pay two silver dollars and wait all night.

But all these silver coins were taken away by the gang of bastards on night watch. Those grandsons were so damn independent that they didn't want to give a share to their colleagues.

Therefore, the people working inside will still throw out your materials.

Anyway, if I don’t torment you three or five times, I will definitely not let you go. Think about it, how many silver dollars will you spend waiting in line?

Say it again!" The servant pointed to the low service window, where the waiter couldn't stand up straight or squat down, and was in great pain: "Can you bear this crime?"

"This...!" Sun Yuanhua blinked, his ignorance fully expressed in his eyes.

Looking back at Li Xiao, Li Xiao was also dumbfounded. Has it... reached this point?

"So! This money must be spent wisely, don't you think so?

The two silver coins I asked for from you will be given directly to the people working inside. The materials may be incomplete, but I can turn a blind eye to you.

Moreover, I will hand in the materials, and you can wait here. I will definitely get it done for you before I leave for work. But my help is not in vain, and you can reward us both.

With so many colleagues, we have to take care of things, just have tea and drinks. You can't let me, a poor servant, pay for this, right?"

"No! No! Go and help. Here are three silver coins. Take them." Sun Yuanhua quickly took out three silver coins and handed them to the guard in front of him.

"Haha! Please do me a favor. If things don't work out, just ask me, Song Laosan, for questioning." The officer patted his chest and walked in with Sun Yuanhua's materials.

Through the glass curtain wall, Sun Yuanhua saw Song Laosan walking in directly, taking the materials and staying in front of this table for a while, and then that table for a while.

The official seals were stamped one after another, and the speed was indeed faster than the people waiting at the window.

Some clerks even directly picked up the official seal and stamped it without looking at the materials. After leaving, when it was time to drink tea, when it was time to fight crickets, they fought crickets.

"Holy shit! Is this okay?" Li Xiao's eyes were as big as eggs. He didn't expect that things had gotten so bad.

"It's just some scattered silver coins from the third class of yamen servants. It's not a big deal. Do you know that these people have to pay homage to their superiors during festivals and festivals.

If you can't show your filial piety, do you still want to work here?

So, this is a deal for them. Guess why the night guard lets five people in at a time?" Sun Yuanhua stroked his beard and said with a smile.

"Why?" Li Xiao looked at Sun Yuanhua with some suspicion. He was indeed an old fox who had been working at the bottom. It was really difficult to hide such things in the yamen from him.

“Everything has a degree!

When these small government officials do things, they pay the most attention to the steady flow of time. So, you see, many of these small officials have worked for their entire lives, and even they are succeeded by their father after their father dies.

After sending five people in, the money they got was just enough to give to the Shangguan, and they kept some of it.

If the fishing is done ruthlessly, and the people are driven into a panic, and they all die together, and the matter becomes too big, there will naturally be no way to end it.

Their superiors would naturally use them as scapegoats.

If they don't make too much money, the money they give during the holidays... will have to be deducted from their salaries.

Working hard as a servant, being ordered around by superior officials like a servant, and then having to pay for it yourself. Who would engage in such a loss-making business?

So! If you have to do business, you have to do buying and selling. The most important thing is to be moderate and keep the flow steady.

The yamen is made of iron and has smooth officials, but these yamen servants are the rocks in the yamen. No matter which official comes, they must be used."

Sun Yuanhua's words made Li Xiao roll his eyes.

Zhang Huangyan never said this to him. Sun Chengzong didn't say it to him either. Only Sun Yuanhua did.

Guys who work their way up from the bottom are really different.

"Commander, if you want to crack down on corruption, public opinion will inevitably be directed at these petty officials.

When the time comes, the gentlemen in the yamen will definitely eliminate these petty officials out of public outrage.

But these petty officials have been removed, can the people who come in be able to handle things more normally?"

"Then what do you think we should do? We can't just arrest all the officials in the yamen. Then how can the Shuntian Mansion operate? Where can I find so many qualified officials to manage this huge capital?"

Li Xiao is now in a difficult situation. He wants to fight against corruption, but he can kill all the officials. Who else will work for me?

You can't let me be a great commander and become the director of the neighborhood committee myself.

Besides, even if I do it myself, there is no way I can manage the millions of people in the huge capital city even if I transform into Nezha with three heads and six arms.

"So, fighting against corruption and corrupt officials cannot be like harvesting wheat. It must be cut directly at the root. It must be like picking peaches. Pick the bigger ones!"

"Pick the big ones?" Li Xiao seemed to have some idea.

"Yes, pick the big ones. For example, this Shuntianfu.

With such bad behavior from top to bottom, a small servant became a broker. Is the Shuntian Prefecture Yin really unaware of this?

I’m afraid not!

I'm afraid you can't figure out how much income Shuntian Fuyin makes in a year. I can't figure it out either, but Mr. Fuyin's property is obvious to all.

Not to mention anything else, just that house in the capital is probably not much smaller than your Marshal's Mansion, and it is in a prime location on Zhuque Street.

How much silver is this worth? You can calculate it.

Where does this money come from? With his salary? Let alone this life, even if he has been the governor of Shuntian for eight lifetimes, he will not be able to save so much money without eating or drinking.

I have heard that this Yin of Shuntian Prefecture once hosted a banquet for a minister from the Ministry of Industry. The food alone cost 6,000 silver coins!

Six thousand silver coins, my commander, you have never had such an expensive meal." Sun Yuanhua looked at Li Xiao with a smile.

"What did these two grandsons eat?" Li Xiao was so angry that his blood pressure soared. When he returned his mother's four dishes and one soup, these bastards actually ate a feast of six thousand silver dollars!

Damn it, I am the only one who is the most miserable in Ming Dynasty, as the generalissimo.

Thinking of Zhang Wanqi's luxurious banquet at Shunfeng Restaurant that day, Li Xiao became even more furious.

"I don't know what to eat, but many officials are talking about it. I envy Mr. Fu Yin for his generosity!"

Li Xiao was teased and speechless by Sun Yuanhua. These all happened under his nose. He didn't even know about it at all!

Zhang Huangyan! Zhang Huangyan!

Could it be that he didn’t know all this?

Regardless of whether others believe it or not, Li Xiao doesn't believe it anyway, because he saw his son Zhang Wanqi, who was lying, drinking flower wine in Shunfeng Restaurant.

It seems that Sun Chengzong's words are necessary. Li Xiao also needs a royal guard of his own!

"Then today, let's start with this Shuntian Prefecture Yin." Li Xiao said viciously.

After waving at the courtyard door, Shunzi trotted over.

"Go and call Yin Jishan." Li Xiao ordered Shunzi.

"No!" Shunzi took a look and saw that more than twenty guards who had sneaked in pretending to be businessmen were already standing at favorable positions, guarding Li Xiao and Sun Yuanhua in the center.

Anyway, the gatekeeper at the door recognizes money but not people, so sneaking in is not easy.

After giving a few instructions to the people around him, he walked into the Yamen.

Naturally, someone blocked Shunzi's way, but Shunzi didn't waste any time and just took out his badge and showed it.
