Political Affairs Hall.

"Although we have already seen the influence of this newspaper, to this day, I still think that the imperial court still underestimated this newspaper!"

Wen Yanbo placed a newspaper on the table and shook his head solemnly.

Although he opposed the recruitment law, the content in the newspapers now made him worried.

Various newspapers and periodicals were covering the matter of the expansion of the police force, and then used this to speculate on the tax exemption. The amount obtained was astonishingly high, and this was extended to all kinds of rumors, which frightened the people.

This is not what Zhang Fei taught, but the literati have mastered the methods of newspapers and periodicals, and various highly innovative articles are emerging one after another.

Lu Gongzhu nodded: "I have also read these newspapers and periodicals. The commotion has made people panic, and public opinion has begun to change again. Even the wealthy households who previously supported the recruitment law have become hesitant."

Only one person in the outer room said: "This is not according to the rules. No wonder everyone is making speculations. This is all the fault of the police station."

Before he finished speaking, Han Jiang walked in.

Sima Guang asked: "What? Isn't it going well for you there?"

Han Jiang was so angry that she shook her head and said, "It doesn't matter if it goes well or not, I don't even know what I should do?"

Wen Yanbo sighed: "In the initial preparations for something like this, we should have kept a low profile, conducted multi-party investigations, and appeased the people so that they knew the benefits and risks, so that it could be implemented."

Han Jiang said depressedly: "I originally planned to do this, but you originally negotiated to let the Royal Police replace the Yamen, so Sinong Temple couldn't get involved at all."

Wen Yanbo hurriedly said: "It was not suggested by us, but by Wang Jiefu."

Lu Gongzhu suddenly said: "It's not surprising that the police station hired Zhang San. This is his way of making things bigger first and then solving them."

Han Jiang said: "But how to solve this problem? This is not a lawsuit, this is about finances. They have arranged it this way and they have to spend so much money. Where does this money come from? There is no room for opportunism. In addition, the propaganda in these newspapers and periodicals , the people are on guard, I would like to see how to raise this tax."

Wen Yanbo said: "You can't act on your own initiative. This matter can be big or small. If the police station wants to force the tax exemption, there will definitely be unrest. You must prevent this situation."

Han Jiang sighed heavily, "Don't worry, Mr. Wen, I won't let them mess around."

Sima Guang, who had been silent all this time, was also uneasy.

They, the prime ministers, saw very clearly that the other party was now waiting for them to collect the tax exemption. Once the tax was levied, someone would definitely encourage the people to cause trouble.

This propaganda was completely suppressed by the other party.

They only opposed the recruitment law, but did not want to directly break out into unrest.

But there is this trend now, and it is very dangerous.

Although the final tax setting power rests with Sinong Temple, this newspaper continues to criticize the tax exemption, and someone may take the opportunity to cause trouble no matter how much the tax is set.

As a result, Han Jiang wanted to back down. He was actually very responsible, but the problem is that you did all this without consulting me. In the end, it was me who decided the tax. Maybe I will take the blame.

.

That is such an injustice.

Inside the carriage.

"Third brother, I have recently asked many officers who have served as government officials and special escorts. This business can be done. As long as the people we recruit are experienced and familiar with the road conditions in various places, they can plan the route in advance.

The remuneration is calculated according to regular transportation, and the profit is quite large. It’s just..."

After hesitating for a moment, Fan Zheng continued: "The cost of one trip is not low. If we do business with the imperial court, we are afraid that the imperial court will blame us or negotiate with us.

If we don’t want to lower the price, we will offend people. Also, many people in the officialdom are ruthless, so wasn’t Shi Dalang the one who was killed?”

After making some inquiries, Fan Zheng was both happy and satisfied. He was very happy that this was indeed a good business. As long as it was done well, the profits would be very considerable. The key point was that no businessman could compete with it.

The worrying thing is that there are too many hidden dangers in this. It is not that he is afraid of robbery or wind and rain, but he wants to do this job. These risks are included in it. What he is really worried about is the twists and turns in the court.

Human nature.

Because compared to the officialdom, those grass bandits are as gentle as sheep.

Zhang Fei chuckled: "I say Fan Da, you are really smart for a lifetime, but you are confused for a moment!"

Fan Zheng looked at Zhang Fei doubtfully: "Third brother, what do you mean by this?"

Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Go back and see who the big donors in our charity foundation are."

Fan Zheng blinked, thought for a while, and suddenly said: "By the way, many financial backers are backed by powerful people."

"You just thought of it!"

Zhang Fei said: "I can't say this clearly. After all, they didn't make a donation openly. They just sent people to try it secretly. But if this business can be done, it can make a lot of money, and it can also transport goods for those powerful people. These people are so sophisticated.

Of course someone will help us solve it.

Moreover, more dignitaries may join our foundation in the future, and the problems you foresee will become easier."

Fan Zheng nodded repeatedly: "I was confused and ignored this."

"That's why I said that only we can do this business." Zhang Fei added: "The problem we have to overcome is not the sophistication of people in the officialdom, but whether we can safely deliver the goods to the other side. As long as we know the code clearly

The prices are set, and no one can be deceived, so no one has anything to say."

Fan Zheng nodded: "Third brother, please don't worry, I'm sure I can do this."

"That's fine."

Zhang Fei smiled and nodded.

"Hush!"

Suddenly, the carriage stopped.

"Why did you arrive so soon?"

Zhang Fei couldn't help but be stunned.

When I opened the curtains, I saw two tall men in black blocking the carriage. If they had their faces covered, they would be assassins.

"Ah! It's Zhang Sanlang!"

When the two of them saw Zhang Fei, they were shocked.

Zhang Fei asked: "What's the matter?"

The two men first looked at each other, and one of the men said: "Zhang Sanlang, I'm sorry! We are auxiliary police, and we are studying traffic laws and regulations with our senior brother and checking the driver's driving order."

Zhang Fei said to Long Wu: "Long Wu, show them the driving order."

"oh."

Long Wu immediately took out a small book and handed it to the auxiliary police officer.

"Thank you!"

The auxiliary policeman took it over slightly uneasily and pointed with his finger to recognize it.

Zhang Fei couldn't help but smile and asked: "Are you literate?"

The auxiliary police officer said awkwardly: "I know a little bit."

Zhang Fei asked again: "But your uniforms are too ugly. Who changed them for you?"

Police officer Nafu said: "It was arranged by the deputy superintendent. Since the police station has not made police uniforms for us yet, we are asked to wear black clothes first because not many people will wear black clothes in broad daylight."

"I see."

Zhang Fei nodded with a smile, then looked back at Fan Zheng, "Fan Da, if you want the security of Baifanlou to be better, please donate some money to make police uniforms for them."

Fan Zheng smiled and nodded: "It should, it should."

The two auxiliary police officers looked happy when they heard this.

"Ouch! What are you doing? This is...!"

But when he saw a royal policeman running over and Zhang Feizhen sitting in the car, he hurriedly said: "Third brother, I'm so sorry, they are new here and don't understand...!"

The first batch of royal police officers who came in were still full of respect for Zhang Fei, but it was Zhang Fei who led them out.

"fine!"

Zhang Fei smiled and nodded, "This proves that they are serious about their work."

A leadership tone.

The royal policeman was relieved when he saw that Zhang Fei didn't care.

After the inspection, the carriage began to move slowly again.

Li Si outside the car suddenly said: "Third brother, there are so many auxiliary police officers on this road. There are auxiliary police officers standing at almost every intersection."

Zhang Fei smiled and said: "There is no way. They don't have much time left. They must be familiar with the Royal Police's code of conduct immediately."

As he spoke, he shook his head and said: "This is also the biggest shortcoming of this plan."

There were a bit too many people to recruit, and it was too busy for a while.

Fan Zheng suddenly said: "Why don't Sanlang suggest that the Yamen and the others build an official office specifically for police training."

Zhang Fei's eyes lit up, "Yes! If you want long-term development, you must do this. I will talk to Yanei later."

When we came to the school grounds in Hexi, it was still overcrowded. The sudden recruitment of 10,000 people could not be completed in a day or two.

They entered the campus through the side door. As soon as they arrived at the lobby, they heard Cao Dongdong's roar.
