After seeing off the officials who came to pay their respects, Xu Ping returned to the study, stretched his waist, and sat down at the desk.

Xiuxiu served tea and said, "I thought I would be more leisurely after leaving the capital, but I didn't expect to be so busy."

Xu Ping smiled and said, "It's just a visitor, it's not a business deal. How can this be considered busy? After everyone has seen it, how can there be so many people like this every day? Even if they come, I won't see you."

"That's right, why bother so much when you get to the local area? The officials are still under the control of the west of Beijing. Just arrange people to do it, and don't take care of everything. Back then, we were in Yongzhou, and officials were very relaxed."

Xu Ping patted Xiuxiu's hand and said with a smile: "It's not that I was relaxed at that time, but that you were ignorant at that time and knew how to play everywhere. Now that you are old and know how to do things, you only saw me busy all day long. Well, you don't care about my business. If you know too much, you will bother you and make people gossip. It's a taboo for women to interfere in politics!"

"Even if you let me know, I can't worry about that, why are women interfering in politics? Then, in the future, I will just care about your food and clothing, and I will pretend that your eyes cannot see or hear everything else?"

Xu Ping shook his head and smiled, no longer caring about Xiuxiu, closed his eyes and thought about his thoughts.

The supervisors and commanders at the road level have no administrative functions, and there are very few officials under them. Take the Transportation Commission as an example. There are only Transportation Commission, Deputy Envoy and Judge, Deputy Envoy and Judge, and Judge. The West Road in Jingxi is in the heart of the world and has a relatively large number of staff, including envoys, deputy envoys and judges, but that's all. There are no subordinates below, only some low-level civil servants preparing to dispatch and low-level military officers, which are similar to public officials. Now Tan Hu is the one who serves as a preparatory mission for the Transportation Commission.

In other words, the Transportation Office is actually a few chief officials with a group of followers who can only complete the work of inspecting local areas and checking accounts. No matter what they do, they must use the following prefectures and counties. Because they have to inspect the subordinate prefectures and counties every year, so that the deputy judges can only stay in the yamen for a few months.

If Xu Ping wants to start his own economic reform here, it is far from enough to rely on this little person alone. Now Deputy Envoy Yang Gao is in Luoyang City, and the judge is in Xiangzhou. The two are the first team to return to Beijing. They are both capable, but they do not have much energy to manage economic affairs.

First of all, there must be someone, and it is best to add two judges. When you go out for inspection, someone can take charge of the Transportation Office. Don’t just inspect the local area, the Transportation Office will become an empty yamen, and you can’t even upload and download official documents. In addition, there must be several subordinate officials below who can handle daily affairs and have the energy to build a financial situation along the way.

But how easy is it to increase the staffing? It is to prevent the road-level government agencies from growing bigger and threatening the court, which has led to the current situation. Local staffing is no more than court, and it is difficult to increase a person as if they are as tall as the sky.

Xu Ping felt a little headache and had to come up with a reason to enrich the yamen.

At this moment, Tan Hu reported outside: "Officials, someone outside said they were Zhang Xianggong's tribe members, and came to ask for a meeting."

"Oh, let him wait in the small flower hall first, I'll arrive soon."

Unexpectedly, the Zhang family sent someone so soon, which was inconsistent with that decay. Xu Ping retracted his thoughts and asked Tan Hu to reply, while standing up.

Xiuxiu, who was sitting leisurely reading a book, said, "I have only sat for a while and are going out to meet guests again?"

"This is not an ordinary guest, but a family member of Zhang Wenjie's husband. After Zhang's death, his family was in ruins. Now his house is in disrepair, which makes people sigh. I asked their family to find a capable person to find a profitable business in Luoyang City, and at least maintain the family business."

Xiuxiu sighed: "Mr. Zhang is such a good person, but he didn't enjoy much wealth. It's a pity."

Zhang Zhibai was weak in nature and had a serious worries after becoming prime minister. He did not persist for a few years. It was indeed a pity.

When he arrived at the Little Flower Hall, Xu Ping saw a man in his thirties standing there, wearing a short brown dress. He could tell that he was a man who worked every day and felt a little fond of his feelings. He was most afraid that the Zhang family would find smart and capable people, but as a result, two people who were slick and unable to do serious things would make him embarrassed.

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

"No need to be polite." Xu Ping looked at Zhang Liping. Seeing that he looked calm and he could still see his hands covered with calluses when he was close. He nodded in his heart. "Are you a member of the Zhang Xianggong clan? What does it have to do with the current head of the family?"

"Before inheriting the incense of Prime Minister's Prime Minister, he was a young cousin and grew up together since childhood."

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

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

"Officials are officials, and the young are civilians. How can they be on an equal footing? If you have any instructions, the young ones stand and listen."

This is an official office, not his own home. According to regulations, civilians cannot sit with officials. Not to mention civilians, they cannot sit with officials who buy them. Xu Ping no longer forced himself, but he still has to abide by the rules in the officialdom.

After letting the entourage come to tea, Xu Ping asked casually: "Depending on your appearance, you usually work, and I don't know what to do?"

"Returning to the official, the young man worked odd jobs, earned some money and bought some firewood and rice to support the whole family. Recently, because Sansi Shop often purchased goods and lacked manpower to carry them, the young man was there to make a living."

Xu Ping's heart moved and asked Zhang Liping: "I heard from my subordinates that there is a group of idle men near the shop who want to take care of the work of transporting goods in the shop. I wonder if this is the case? Who are those?"

Zhang Liping didn't expect Xu Ping to know about this. After thinking about it, he finally decided to tell the truth. The transferee who was in charge of Caoxian all the way, could he still do anything to a group of idle men?

He bowed to Xu Ping, and Zhang Liping said, "Returning to the officials, those idle men are not good people. In their early years, they occupied a vegetable garden near the shop and did not grow vegetables well. They were just cheating and cheating, which was a big disaster around them. Yesterday, the young man went to the shop to do his job, and Brother Qing also talked about them, not wanting to provoke them. When the young man came home after the work, he was blocked by this idle man on the way, saying that the young man was not allowed to do his job in the shop, otherwise he would break my legs."

After hearing this, Xu Pingzhi frowned: "In Luoyang City, Sansi Shop is still in the center of the city. Is there such a thing in broad daylight?"

"Officials don't know that Luoyang City covers a large area and has few households. It's the center of the city. If it weren't for the prosperous place, there would be no pedestrians in one day. There are really many such things that block the road and robbery in broad daylight."

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

Of course, a local dominance like the doctor Yuchi is mainly based on someone in the government to take care of him, otherwise he would have been knocked out long ago.

The shop of the Sansi was Xu Ping's hard work. After arriving in Luoyang, he immediately called the relevant people and asked carefully. Manager Zheng said what Xiqing told him. Xu Ping also knew from this that someone wanted to take charge of the cargo transport of the shop. But he didn't know the background of the sick Yuchi and his gangster, 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 make by moving goods in Sansi Shop for a day?"

"It depends on what kind of goods it is. If it is heavy goods, you can earn a hundred cents if you work hard, but there are not many opportunities a year. Usually, it can only cost 30 cents at most."

Xu Ping felt a little incredible: "Can those idle men watch their livelihoods worth dozens of dollars a day?"

"The young people can't figure it out even if they come back to the official. They are all in groups and are dedicated to cheating people on the market. In the past, they just caught a carp from the Luo River and went to the market to buy pounces. A few people can make a game, and they can earn hundreds of millions of dollars a day. How could they like this kind of coolie business? Maybe they have other means, but the young people can't figure it out."

"Hmph, what can I do? It's just a cheating and stealing! I know this. Luoyang is the capital of the royal capital, how can such people be allowed to be rampant? If you want to take on the work of Sansi Shop, you must have no good intentions and have long eliminated your seriousness!"

During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the area near Tianjin Bridge was the most prosperous place in the world, no less than the area of ​​Daxiangguo Temple in the capital now. Unexpectedly, it has become a rampant thieves in the daytime. Luoyang is not like Kaifeng City. The city is directly under the jurisdiction of Kaifeng Prefecture. The city is divided into two counties, Luoyang and Henan. It is the place where the boundary is divided, with mixed fish and dragons. After this incident, Xu Ping wanted to call the magistrates of the two counties to his own yamen and let them make a letter to ensure a limited time cleaning. The central area of ​​the city is so chaotic, how can the city's economy develop?

After chatting about gossip, Xu Ping asked Zhang Liping: "What are you good at doing in business? Let me tell you, let me take a look at it."

Zhang Liping said embarrassedly: "I'm not hiding the officials, I'll hear that I'm a hardworker when I'm young. I originally thought that I would save some money by doing odd jobs in the past two years, so I went to the restaurant next to sell wine with my credit, but I haven't saved enough capital yet."

Xu Ping couldn't help but smile and said, "This business is not easy. One is hard work, and the other is to be careful to control yourself, otherwise it will be in vain. To be honest, my family sells wine at first, and at the beginning, it was sold from a restaurant, and later earned a restaurant. Since I passed the Jinshi, my father didn't take it as a direct seller."

"How dare I think so far? I just want to have a stable life."

In fact, Xu Zheng did not save money by selling wine, but also inherited his father-in-law's family business because he married Zhang Sanniang. If he only carried a wine barrel, he would not even be able to earn a small foot shop.

Xu Ping thought for a while and said to Zhang Liping: "There is, since that's the case, I'll 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 dock in the future, so I'll find a way from there."

(Note: There was a bug in the front, and the transfer envoy on Jingxi Road was written as Yang Guai and Wang Yong was accepted. He should be the deputy transfer envoy. When I have the chance, I will correct the previous one, please forgive me.

Also, I feel a little uncomfortable these two days and cannot concentrate on typing. I will keep updating and adjust as soon as possible. Readers are tolerant. Up to now, I am indeed a little tired, and I will adjust as soon as possible.) (To be continued.)
