Chapter 268 Doing things and being a person
Jia Pingan wrote poetry again.
It was also a spring poem, which sparked a wave of popularity in brothels as soon as it came out.
"Jasper makes up a tree..."
In a brothel in Pingkangfang, two middle-aged men were talking in a low voice.
"That broom star... is a talent."
"Yes, but not our talents."
"If it can be pulled in..."
"What can I do?"
"Marriage!"
The two smiled at each other.
Jia Ping'an is very busy.
After that poem came out, the winter solstice came.
"Jia Lang."
Ah Fu slammed open the door and saw that the woman had no food in her hands. He suddenly felt that Xiong Sheng was meaningless, so he went to lie down on the side.
When Jia Pingan came out, Dongzhi smiled and said, "Jia Lang is composing poems again."
"Yes!" Jia Pingan didn't know why this woman came, but he always felt that he was in danger.
Winter Solstice took a look inside, but didn't say anything about it, and said, "That Ming Huinu knows that this person has some reputation, in the name of dignity..."
Jia Ping'an said casually, "It's prudence."
Winter Solstice covered his mouth and smiled, Taohua's eyes were full of joy, "Jia Lang is so smart."
Isn’t it just pretending to be a comparison?
But Jia Pingan is not interested, "Thank you for letting me know."
Farewell to the winter solstice.
Jia Ping'an went to inspect the pigsty.
A group of piglets are growing up vigorously, none of them died.
It seems that the high-alcohol disinfection effect is not bad, the key is Lao Li's exquisite knife skills.
Du He praised: "Those little hogs killed by a certain man are growing strong."
He looked at the little piggies affectionately, as if looking at his own children.
Song Bu Bubu asked: "Mr. Sir, there are no eggs, these pigs are like servants?"
Ahem!
this problem…
Song is an idiot when he doesn't come out, "I've been looking at these little pigs for the past few days, and then I compared them with other people's pigs. Our house is clean and delicious."
"It will be even more delicious in the future." Jia Ping'an was already fantasizing about all kinds of delicacies.
Braised meat, pork ribs, trotters, hooves...
oops!
is really flattering.
"Brother."
Jia Ping'an's body trembled.
Hero Cao is here.
For him, Jia Pingan always felt a little owed. For the first time, he spoke out for Jia Ping'an, which led to his failure in the imperial examination. The second time Jia Pingan asked him to sacrifice himself, he stayed with the bustard for a long time, and lost a lot of weight, and now he looks better.
"Brother." Cao Yingxiong was sweating, glanced at the little pigs, and praised: "It's so cute!"
Then he glanced at the old sow and praised: "It's really lovely."
Jia Pingan came out of the pigsty, "I have something to say."
Let him continue talking, or something unsightly will happen.
Cao Yingxiong smiled dryly, "It's spring, and there are more petty thefts in Chang'an City. A certain person took someone to inspect Dongxi City and passed by Daodefang."
Madan, Daodefang is to the south of Chang'an City, and Dongxishi is to the west. It's a long way. Is this the way?
"Just talk about it if you have something to do."
Cao Yingxiong sniffed, feeling that Jia Ping'an was really easy-going. After he was so unlucky, those so-called friends in the past all stayed away from him, treating him as stinky shit, and they didn't even want to step on him.
The only people who still treat him the same are the whores.
In Daodefang, those fields looked more green and full of vitality.
"Cui Mingfu said that everything recovers in spring, and so do those thieves. They must fight decisively. Whoever can fight, he will directly record the credit."
Tsk tsk!
Old Cui is ruthless for his political achievements!
No matter who you are, as long as you can make meritorious service in this spring public order rectification operation, I will personally ask for credit for you.
"I don't know where to start, thinking that my brother is omnipotent, so I have the audacity to ask."
Cao Yingxiong was a little embarrassed.
"This matter..." Jia Ping'an thought about it carefully, "How did they do it?"
"Know yourself and know your enemy, you can fight a hundred battles, brother is really powerful." Cao Yingxiong patted his ass, and then said: "They all led people to patrol, from the opening to closing of the market, they have been watching, but there are still people who have stolen things."
"Why!"
This method really treats the head when a headache is treated, and the foot when a foot hurts.
Cao Yingxiong thought he was in trouble, so he said: "My little brother is fine, just bring someone to inspect it later."
"Can't find out."
Jia Pingan said casually, "It's useless to stare at it like this. Remember, the most important thing to crack down on theft is supervision. For example, how much will the reward be for reporting and catching a thief. Those merchants hate these sneaky thieves the most, just go Mobilize them, once you find the thief, report it to the police immediately. In addition..."
Cao Yingxiong was dumbfounded.
He had never heard of such methods of group defense and group governance, and he was stunned.
Jia Pingan smiled, "In addition, you can go to publicize it, ask those big businessmen to donate money, and set up a method of rewarding, as long as the thieves who report are caught, they will be ranked first, and those who personally capture the thieves will be ranked higher... Do you know how many idlers are waiting to make money in Dongxi Market?"
Cao Yingxiong had all kinds of thoughts in his mind, but in the end he dropped them all.
"Is it really possible?"
His family is well-off, and he doesn't know the situation in the market below.
"Go and try." Jia Pingan thought of the methods of later generations, once activated, they could be said to be completely invincible.
Back to the county, Cao Yingxiong found Wang Fulai, "I went to find my brother to find a way, I don't know if it is possible, I am going to try it, do you want to follow?"
Wang Fu said without hesitation: "Jia Canjun's method, don't ask... Just do it."
Cao Yingxiong felt that he was falling behind.
Looking at Wang Fu, when he heard that it was his brother's idea, he agreed without hesitation. But he still thought about it, worried that this method would not work.
Cao Yingxiong felt ashamed, thinking about the day he invited his brother to go whoring in the brothel, "Which day invited my brother to the brothel."
Wang Fu glanced at him, feeling that this man really didn't know himself, "If Jia Canjun wants to go to a brothel... he just wrote a poem recently, even Shangguanyi is willing to bow down, and the new famous prostitute Minghui can't pursue it, you Do you think Jia Canjun needs money to go to the brothel?"
Cao Yingxiong felt more and more ashamed, "It is always necessary to repay my brother."
"Then do things." Wang Fu said angrily: "Then Huanghu has been staring at us! Now he has a backer, but he has suffered at your hands, and he can't turn around and suppress you with a slap. "
"Fart!" Cao Yingxiong said with contemptuous eyes: "Yesterday I dreamed that a certain person got promoted and made a fortune, and Huang Hu took care of him every day, and knelt down and called him Yeye..."
"Ahem!"
Wang Fu interrupted him and looked outside the door.
Cao Yingxiong turned around and smiled when he saw Huang Hu standing outside the door.
Huang Hu stood with his hands behind his back, and said calmly: "The order of the Cui Ming Mansion, our Chang'an County is in charge of the West Market, and Wannian County is in charge of the East City. Both sides work together. Whoever makes a contribution, the Cui Ming Mansion will personally calculate the merit for him; whoever slack off, Cui Mingfu..."
He sneered and said, "Weigh it yourself."
Cao Yingxiong said: "But we have no right."
"What power do you want?" Huang Hu sneered and said, "It's just a petty official, scoff!"
The laughter was crisp, and Cao Yingxiong raised his voice, "No right, so I can do it myself!"
Several officials outside heard this, and seeing Huang Hu standing there, they all felt that the grievances between the three of them might not be resolved, and only when one party completely knelt down could they live in peace.
After Huang Hu left, Wang Fu said in a low voice: "Why do you bother to tease him, our work is already difficult, and it will be even more sad if we are suppressed by him."
"Someone is not willing to be a petty official!" Cao Yingxiong's eyes were full of longing, "Brother said that people have no dreams, no pursuits, that is bacon, so-and-so does not want to be bacon, so-and-so wants to be... a master !"
Wang Fu felt that this guy’s ideal was a bit too lofty, and he didn’t quite get used to it, “What happens next?”
"Then..." Cao Yingxiong licked his lips, "A certain woman can go all over the world in brothels and taste all the women in the world, hahahaha!"
This laughter is not hearty, but the wretchedness of Te Niang.
Then the two went to West Market.
Spring is here, and the business in West Market is getting better and better.
Among the crowd, some people's eyes flickered, staring at the big customers. If they saw the money bag, their eyes would be blank.
"How to do it?" Wang Fu stood in the middle and said sadly: "There are too many people, and there are only so many people in Chang'an County, how can we check?"
The two visited a group of stores, and then went to find a group of evil young rangers.
His brows were frowned, and anger grew in his eyes, "The old man met Zhu Hao, the county magistrate of Wannian County, and he said that the East City had captured dozens of thieves. He asked me how many thieves were taken in the West City? How much? Talk! "
There are several county lieutenants in Chang'an County, corresponding to Zhu Cao. The county lieutenant in charge of public security is Huang Hu.
Huang Hu felt that he was really unlucky, so he got up and said, "Mingfu, the officials have tried their best on this matter. But the thieves in West City are cunning, and the officials took people to arrest them. After arresting more than ten people, they knew our people." , People who see us will remind each other."
Boss, it’s not that our army doesn’t work hard, but that the enemy army is too cunning!
Cui Yixuan looked at him, "I don't care what the culprits are, but if the thieves in the west market are cunning, are the thieves in the east market all honest men? I don't like your excuses, so I will ask you. Is there a way?"
This is the posture of the superior.
You said it was difficult, but I just want the result!
If you can't solve the problem, then what do I want you to do?
Huang Hu took a look outside, thinking about Cao Yingxiong wanting power earlier.
"The next official will definitely be able to do this well."
This is a promise, if he says no, Cui Yixuan will be able to deal with him when he turns around.
So you have to nod.
But then what?
He racked his brains for a long time, then went to seek advice.
"Throw it to the people below to do it. If you do it well, it's your first job. If you can't do it well...it's none of your business?"
"Wonderful!"
Huang Hu thinks that the officialdom is a place to sharpen people, but after being an official for a while, he has matured a lot.
After returning, he found Cao Yingxiong and said in front of the public: "You said you want power, so you might have wiped out the thieves in West Market?"
Cao Yingxiong said without hesitation: "If you can't be clean, there will be no thieves in the world! But dare to say... it will definitely crush Wannian County!"
These words are resounding.
Someone applauded.
An old official sighed and said: "Huang Hu asked this in public, Cao Yingxiong should speak in a low voice, we all heard him so loudly, and he couldn't do it later, this is his guilt, Huang Hu can still get away..."
"Then this is a trap?"
The old official nodded, "Shangguan has countless methods to punish his subordinates. These methods are superior, so you have to accept them. After success, Shangguan will receive credit. If you fail, you will take the blame... hey!"
Cao Yingxiong was delighted to get the power, and later went to see Cui Yixuan when no one was around.
"You want power?"
Cui Yixuan sized up this little official, if he hadn't called Jia Pingan's brother, he wouldn't be qualified to come in at all.
"Yes, Ming Mansion." Cao Yingxiong thought about Jia Ping'an's idea again, feeling a little guilty, "I am planning to use the name of Chang'an County to discuss with those merchants and cooperate with them to suppress the thieves."
This thing...
Cui Yixuan felt that it was unreliable, but still nodded.
Cao Yingxiong then took people to West Market.
There are a lot of people in West Market, both merchants and customers have to eat, but the price of eating out every day is too high, and most people are reluctant.
It is said that where there is demand, there is a market. Some people began to sell low-priced meals, pushing carts, and walking around with their backpacks on their backs.
Wu Buying is even better. He has already completed primitive accumulation and now has his own shop. Unlike restaurants and restaurants, his shop sells cheap food, but the taste is not bad, so the business is booming.
After the meal was ordered, Wu Buying also took time off.
After introducing his identity, Cao Yingxiong asked: "What is Mr. Wu afraid of doing this kind of business?"
"Thief!" Wu Buying got angry when he mentioned the thief, "The business here is good, so we have to wait in line. Those thieves pretend to come to buy food and steal money. There are always a few customers whose money is stolen every day. Scared of being stolen. Some would rather go to a restaurant to eat than come again, hey!"
He glanced at Cao Yingxiong, "Is there a way?"
"There is a way, it depends on your willingness to wait." Cao Yingxiong said: "This is what the county thinks. Xishi has a large population, a lot of idlers, and a lot of evil. What if they are mobilized? Just report and arrest them." When a thief is found, the whistleblower gets ten Wen. If the thief is caught directly, fifty Wen..."
"Great idea!" Wu Buying was born in the market, and he knows these people's urination like the palm of his hand, "If it can be done like this, those people will go crazy. Ten cents each, no, they will do it themselves, and one will get fifty cents. "
His eyes were burning, "The county has such an idea, I think it's great, Cui Mingfu is wise...Cao Langjun has worked hard."
These are small people. Even if they make money, they are still afraid of officials, and they dare not miss a small official even if they flatter.
Seeing that he took the bait, Cao Yingxiong said: "But the county has no money left, so someone is thinking, are you willing to pay for the merchants? One family will pay some, so as to accumulate, and then send someone to supervise and verify, in case someone impersonates. "
He felt that Wu Buying would hesitate, or even decline.
After all, it is money!
But Wu Buying said without hesitation: "How much do you want? Cao Langjun just say!"
Cao Yingxiong was surprised for a moment, and then said: "Let's give the money to Yiguan first. They are all big merchants, and the small merchants will not ask for it."
"It's easy to say!" Wu Buying always said that money was nothing to him, and he gave it casually.
Immediately, someone is called to supervise the calculation, and then an announcement is made.
Before that, Cao Yingxiong went to Jia's house for advice.
"Brother, why did those businessmen give it without hesitation when they heard that someone asked for money?"
Jia Pingan sighed: "You have to know that businessmen are lowly, and they are naturally afraid of officials. There are two sides to this matter. First, they think it is a good idea and can benefit them. Second, you are an official. Chang'an County The officer in charge of catching thieves, if you trick him and say he is a thief, do you think he is afraid?"
"It's like this?" Cao Yingxiong felt inconceivable, "Did someone do this?"
"Of course there is, but if you do it, a certain person will castrate you and send you to the palace to serve His Majesty." Jia Ping'an said with a calm expression, "Besides, those thieves are fierce, I'm afraid some people don't believe them, and they are worried that the government will deceive people, but Have you seen Shang Yang's reform?"
Cao Yingxiong shivered, and then went back.
When the announcement was posted, some people didn't believe it.
"Brother is really a god!" Cao Yingxiong couldn't help admiring, and then winked, "Old Wang, it's your turn."
Wang Fu said dissatisfied: "Why is it so? Why not you?"
Cao Yingxiong coughed dryly, "I look so upright, no matter how I pretend to be, no one will believe that I am a thief."
"You are shameless!"
Later, after Wang Fu finished his makeup, he saw that the bruised and swollen face was escorted by two men.
"Some two people caught this thief!"
"Is there a reward?"
At the temporary exchange point, Cao Yingxiong took a closer look at Wang Fu, and stretched out his hand to poke him.
Bitch!
Wang Fu wanted to laugh when he poked him, but he was afraid of being found out, so he endured it really hard.
"It's the thief." Cao Yingxiong verified his integrity, "Give them money and **** the thief back."
Fifty Wen, the gleaming copper coin, was just given out.
One of the bystanders said: "It's really paid!"
"It's real!" Cao Yingxiong picked up a handful of copper coins and dropped them.
Under the sun, the copper coins are shining, which makes people feel excited.
"A certain caught the thief!"
A big man came with a thin man between them.
"Someone caught the thief."
"We caught the thief."
Things are developing rapidly, the villains still want to wait and see, but the idlers have made a move. These idlers are doing manual labor, squatting in the West Market and waiting for someone to greet them. At this moment, it is really fast, accurate and ruthless to form a group to make a move.
"Hurry up!"
Even many subordinates came.
For a while, countless thieves in the West Market were arrested.
Cao Yingxiong looked at the fiery scene, and said happily: "It really is, hahahaha!"
Immediately, the criminals were sent to the Chang'an county prison, but how could the small cells in the county hold so many criminals? In the end, Cui Yixuan was alarmed.
"Where are there so many people?" Cui Yixuan rubbed his eyes, counted carefully, and there were more than a hundred people.
"Ming Mansion." Huang Hu said happily: "After the Ming Mansion taught the officials, the officials went back to discuss with them and came up with a way, which is to offer rewards to get people. No, the West Market is now free of thieves. "
He was really happy, thinking that if it wasn't for a certain wise man who directly and openly said to give Cao Yingxiong the right, this matter could be done? Now that it's done, who can deny the credit of someone?
Not even Cao Yingxiong!
Cui Yixuan looked at him and nodded slightly.
Immediately he went to West Market.
The idlers are all dispatched, and the evil boys are also dispatched. Even the guys are not idle, looking for the culprits everywhere.
Cui Yixuan saw such a good situation, and immediately wanted to find Zhu Hao to slap him in the face.
Behind him was a group of officials, Huang Hu was the most conspicuous, waiting to be praised and rewarded.
As small officials, Cao Yingxiong and Wang Fu were squeezed to the back.
Wang Fu said sadly: "We are the ones who do the work, but they are the ones who receive the credit. In this world, it's better to be a person than to be a real woman who knows how to do things!"
Front, Cui Yixuan turned around and said calmly, "Where is Hero Cao?"
Huang Hu's heart tightened.
Why did you call him?
…
It's the middle of the month! Ask for votes!
