Chapter 134 It’s better to dig the hole out of this day! (Here it comes!)

Seeing this, readers should have guessed it.

That's right, Zhang Heng planned to make use of all the embassies in various places.

Liu Neiquan indeed had no one to inspect officials from all over the country, and he had no time to listen to the voices of the people everywhere. Zhang Heng planned to make use of the legation.

The embassies located all over the country are the best places to collect materials.

First of all, these embassies can be regarded as semi-official institutions. They must have contacts with local officials and have a good understanding of them. Even if they don't understand, you can understand them by asking around.

The only thing you need to worry about is that they will say good things about officials with whom they have good relations with the local area, and they will say bad things about officials with whom they have bad relations. This is biased.

Secondly, when officials move around, they will inevitably pass through the legation. Every time the legation receives an official, it will record what they consume.

Because the legation needs to report accounts, some account books will not be given to the legation treasury, but will be kept for reconciliation with the local government. This is a very useful material.

Finally, in the embassy after the implementation of contracting, some officials will still ask for extra-standard hospitality, but people with better personal ethics will not do this, and you can also see something.

Generally speaking, using these things together can better reveal their talents and official voice than the materials they hand in themselves.

Bao Maolun hesitated and said: "They are now independent contractors. I am afraid they will not be particularly cooperative in providing these things, and they may not be trustworthy."

Zhang Heng smiled and said: "I believe you must have a way. You have been a prison official for many years. Do you want to change places, such as entering a prefecture or county to be a Cao official? Kaifeng Mansion is difficult to enter, but the ones below

But it is possible to enter the county, and you may not be unable to enter Kaifeng Mansion in the future."

Bao Maolun suddenly stood up with excitement: "Sir...is it true?"

Bao Maolun looked at Zhang Heng expectantly. It wasn't that he was short-sighted, but mainly because Zhang Heng's promise was really important to him.

From the supervisory officer of the warehouse and treasury to the prefecture and county caoguan, although they all have the same title, they are completely different things. The supervisory official of the warehouse and treasury is actually a local official, while the caoguan is already an official. This

They are the things of two classes and are not the same. Moreover, warehouses and treasury services are just enterprises, while state and county government offices are within the real system, so there is no comparison.

Zhang Heng smiled and said: "I am Liu Neiquan now, and it is probably okay to arrange for a Cao officer."

Bao Maolun immediately slapped his chops: "Sir, don't worry, this matter will be handled properly for you. Anyone who doesn't cooperate will definitely make them uncomfortable. This matter is for the benefit of the country and the people."

How can things happen by them?"

Then he said with some embarrassment: "...Sir, I didn't come here just for this official position. It was mainly because you helped me transfer so that I could offend others. It would not be good if I were still in the original position.

Offend people..."

Zhang Heng waved his hands and said: "I understand, I understand, then I'll leave it to you."

Bao Maolun left in a hurry.

The Qingli New Deal continued to promulgate new reform regulations, and at the end of November, the [Edict to Limit Job Fields] was promulgated. This regulation stipulated the number of job fields for civil and military local officials in various roads, states, and counties.

This is to increase the income of local officials in the form of job fields when Guangfu's finances are unable to increase their salaries. The so-called equalization of those who are not equal, and those who have not been given will be given to those who have not been given enough morale and food and clothing, and then they will be held accountable for their integrity.

Supervise its good governance.

This is Jun Gong Tian.

This can be regarded as increasing benefits for officials, but not many people object to it.

But when Zhang Heng thought of the landless refugees, he just looked on with cold eyes.

What's funny is that Zhang Heng remembered that after the failure of the Qingli New Deal, the only thing left was this reform. It didn't matter why, because it was only beneficial to officials.

Very ironic.

Zhang Heng doesn't care about this, he only cares about things within his responsibilities.

Bao Maolun has indeed put in a lot of effort.

Bao Maolun brought a large amount of information to Zhang Heng the next day. These were the information before the contract was contracted. They recorded the specifications of the legation when entertaining officials, which were used for reimbursement.

Then one after another, the information that he had secretly recorded before was sent to the embassy. These were actually the officials' dirty information. Zhang Heng laughed after seeing it, and he had no idea how Bao Maolun coerced and lured the embassy directors.

Before the Spring Festival, more information came. This time it was official comments about local officials provided by the embassy. Zhang Heng picked some and read them. After reading them, he felt numb.

According to the above description, there are some honest officials and some diligent officials, but most of them are officials who don't work, leaving their responsibilities to the Cao officials under their command, and they go around traveling and enjoying banquets.

I had a great time... Damn, I'm so jealous!

Zhang Heng was very unhappy.

But these officials are already considered good, and corruption and malfeasance are commonplace.

What is even more egregious is that he is very cruel to the people and is often imprisoned and tortured;

Some colluded with local big families to occupy people's fields, and some even destroyed their families if they encountered resistance;

Some secretly smuggled salt and iron, and even transported refined iron to enemy countries;

Those who have prostitutes, wives and daughters, and those who have brothels set up...

They don't look like officials, but rather like the heads of Wuyou Cave.

Zhang Heng was silent for a long time after reading it.

After returning home, Zhang Heng and Zhang Jun said: "Brother, I probably won't be able to celebrate the New Year with you this year."

Zhang Jun was surprised and said: "Are you going to be sent to the state capital? Why is it so sudden? Can't we wait until the New Year?"

Zhang Heng forced a smile: "That's not true. Liu Neiquan has a lot of things to do. I want to sort them out between New Year's Eve and the fifteenth day of the first lunar month..."

For the first time, Zhang Jun saw something other than calmness on Zhang Heng's face, and his face suddenly became serious: "What happened?"

Zhang Heng explained the matter again, and Zhang Jun immediately said: "I will help you."

Zhang Heng was silent for a moment and said: "Brother, aren't you worried?"

Zhang Jun's face was a little heavy, but he still nodded and said: "I'm worried, but if you decide to do it, let's do it!"

Zhang Heng smiled bitterly and said: "This matter is going to be exposed. I intend to expose this matter. By then, hundreds or even thousands of officials in the world may be sacked. The implications are even greater. I'm afraid

It is not inferior to the turmoil some time ago, and this time it is not just the Jiangnan department that is offended, but officials from Fujian, Jingxi, Bianjing, Jianghuai and other departments will also be offended. When the backlash comes, I may not be able to do it.

At that time, it will also affect the second brother and the eldest brother you..."

Zhang Jun nodded and said: "I know all these..."

He was silent for a while and then said with a smile: "...We are a family, and we don't want to say anything high-sounding. You were still young when your father and mother passed away, so you may not remember much. My father and mother had expectations for me when I was a child.

Yes, but they want me to be an official, do you know why?"

Zhang Heng looked at his elder brother.

Zhang Jun said with a smile: "My mother was telling me history, and when she talked about the biography of Fan Pang, I was very moved after listening to it, and then asked my mother, I said, mother, I want to be a person like Fan Pang, is that okay? You

Do you know how mother responded?"

Zhang Heng looked up in surprise.

This story sounded very familiar. In an instant, he suddenly realized. Isn't this the conversation between Su Shi and Mrs. Cheng?

Zhang Heng was a bit dumbfounded.

Zhang Jun said: "Mother said, if you can be a Pang, why can't I be a Pang mother?"

At this point, as if he was feeling grateful for his mother, Zhang Jun's eyes flashed with water: "...If you can be Fan Pang, can't I be Fan Pang's mother?... Third brother, you can be Fan Pang."

, can’t I be Fan Pang’s brother?”

Zhang Heng's heart seemed to be hit with a heavy hammer, making it difficult for him to breathe for an instant.

Zhang Heng choked up: "Brother..."

Zhang Jun felt quite emotional, patted Zhang Heng's shoulder and said: "Brother is not afraid that you will die in the country and implicate me. What I am afraid of is that you have no ambition. Why does eldest brother always hate your second brother? It's not because he causes trouble."

, but because he has no future. If a man is a man, he will die if he dies, and if he is poor, he will be poor, but he cannot be without ambition!

What you have to do is for the sake of the family and the country. It doesn’t matter if my eldest brother is implicated. If you can’t become an official because of this, then let’s just become rich and become officials in the imperial court.”

Zhang Heng looked at Zhang Jun: "What if you can't even become a rich man?"

Zhang Jun laughed: "Then we will become refugees! We brothers have endured hardships. After living in Bianjing for a few years, we have seen time and enjoyed the blessings in the world!"

Zhang Heng asked again: "What if you even risk your life?"

Zhang Jun looked deeply at Zhang Heng: "Then we'd better dig a hole in the sky, otherwise it won't be worth it!"

The two brothers suddenly laughed.

Zhang Heng's heart was suddenly filled with courage.

It's really good to have such a big brother.

On the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, the official government office was granted the title of government official and the people were officially suspended.

Zhang Heng and Zhang Jun went to Zhang Shu's house and had a meal with Zhang Shu, his wife and their infant nephew.

Zhang Shu smiled at Zhang Zhu and Zhang Heng and said, "Your little nephew hasn't given a name yet. Our parents are gone, so why don't you give him a name?"

Zhang Jun looked at his infant nephew and was very happy, but after thinking for a while he said: "It's better for the third brother to come. He is Zhang Sanyuan. His name has its own style. If it can be tainted with his style,

, it will be easier for my nephew to lift children in the future."

Zou Qingzhao smiled and said: "Yes, please ask your third uncle to get one."
