Chapter 1120 Do you think this is the end?
Gao Shenxing was almost furious. Not to mention whether the "sky-high ransom fee" of one thousand gu per person was reasonable, could those handyman servants be worth the same as the old shopkeeper?
But no matter what, the Gao family has to pay the money.
If you don't hand it over, words like "The Gao family are mean and unkind and don't care about the lives of slaves" will be spread tomorrow. This will definitely be an indelible stain on a family like the Gao family that has always had a good reputation.
It is easy to make money, but it is difficult to clean up a tarnished reputation.
Let's spend money and eliminate disaster...
Gao Shenxing held his nose and handed over the "ransom" and wanted to take the person away, but was told that it was not possible.
After the Zhang family also paid the ransom, the two families "shaked hands and made peace" and signed a "guarantee" to ensure that similar things would never happen in the future, let alone provoke retaliation or private attacks.
Gao Shenxing was speechless.
Where do these stinky rules come from?
But the sky-high fines have already been paid, so we have no choice but to let it go. How can people not bow their heads when they are under the eaves... There is no need to go against the "Urban Management Bureau" or even the entire "Jingzhao Mansion" for this matter.
Although Fang Er was a stickler, he had a good saying.
Things that can be solved with money are never problems...
Not long after, someone from the Zhang family came.
It was Zhang Shenwei, Zhang Liang's legitimate son.
Compared with the young and energetic Zhang Shenji, Zhang Shenwei is obviously more mature and more aware of current affairs. He knew what kind of tense relationship there was between the Zhang family and the Fang family. He didn't even ask anyone to make peace. He came alone and paid the fine when asked. He paid a fine of more than 10,000 yuan without even complaining. , and then treated Du Chuke as a disciple and wanted to leave.
Du Chuke was a little surprised. He originally thought that the Zhang family, who had a feud with Fang Jun, would cause trouble, but he didn't expect it to go so smoothly.
Zhang Shenwei was left to walk a few steps late and signed a "letter of guarantee" with Gao Shenxing...
The storm ended quickly.
The people who were waiting to see the excitement were a little disappointed.
The Gao family was the residence of Duke Shen. The emperor's uncle, the most transcendent figure in the Zhenguan Dynasty, actually paid a huge fine honestly and found no fault at all? Moreover, Gao Shilian did not just rely on His Majesty Li Er's status as "uncle-in-law". People think that at that time, he was also the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the head of hundreds of officials. He once dominated the court for many years. Nowadays, countless ministers in the court have passed through Gao Shilian's slips. Be successful and achieve great success!
No matter how you look at it, the Gao family is a little timid...
And the Zhang family has a grudge against Fang Jun!
Thinking back to when Fang Jun cut off Zhang Shenji's arm and almost crippled the man, what kind of hatred was that? Later, Zhang Liang was suppressed and humiliated by Fang Jun many times. Even now, the general manager has been ignored. How could he just pay the money and settle the matter silently?
After paying the fine, everyone wanted to go to the "Skylark Tower" to find out what was going on. However, when they arrived at the site, they found that the "Skylark Tower" had not yet opened. There was a notice posted in front of the door: "Due to disturbing the market order and damaging the trade atmosphere, the Urban Management Department Ordered to suspend operations for half a month.”
The "Zhang's Charcoal Store" selling silver bone charcoal next door also closed down. The notice read: "Due to provoking quarrels and fighting, which affected market trade and damaged the market image, the Urban Management Bureau ordered the company to close for one month for rectification."
People were a little stunned.
Isn't this "Urban Management Bureau" too arrogant?
With a fine of tens of thousands of dollars, the business still has to be closed after the fine is over?
However, what is even more shocking is yet to come...
*****
In the official system of the Tang Dynasty, all power resided in the central government, and the Political Affairs Hall was the highest organ of the central government. The political affairs hall led the three provinces and six departments to carry out the work.
This system nominally has all the power in the center, but in fact the real power of the three provinces and six ministries is very great. Once the chiefs of the three provinces and six ministries conflict with the political opinions of the prime ministers and assistants of the political hall, or secretly cause trouble, they can often hinder the implementation of the central government's decrees...
The atmosphere in the political hall was depressing.
Ever since Changsun Wuji petitioned to increase the number of people in the political affairs hall meeting on the grounds of training young officials, every political affairs hall meeting has been filled with sparks and swords and swords. It will no longer be the case where Fang Xuanling and Cen Wenwen jointly suppressed Changsun Wuji. ……
Although most officials such as Liubu Shangshu, Shangshu Zuocheng, Zhongshu Shilang... and so on are not qualified to speak, many of them are too old and have too high status. Even the powerful ones such as Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji The most powerful prime minister in the world also had to worry about some feelings and influence, and asked for advice from time to time.
Of course, there are also those who take the initiative to speak.
For example, Tang Jian...
The Ministry of Civil Affairs originated from the Qin Dynasty. "Zhouzhuang" records that this position was "Local Official and Great Situ", Qin was the "Envoy of Grain Control", the Han Dynasty was called "Da Nong Ling" and "Shang Shu Min Cao", and from the Three Kingdoms to the Sui Dynasty, it was called "Du Zhi" "Zuo Min", "You Min", etc., Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty established the "Ministry of Civil Affairs" in the third year of his reign, formerly known as "Du Zhi", which was in charge of the statistics and expenditures of the country's wealth. In the early Tang Dynasty, according to the Sui system, in the early Tang Dynasty Yonghui changed the name to "Hubu" to avoid the taboo of the name of Emperor Taizong and his people. Since then, it has been followed by all dynasties.
Since taking office as Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Tang Jian has always ignored matters and passed all the affairs of the Ministry of Civil Affairs to Cui Renshi, the minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. He hid at home and enjoyed the leisure time.
But recently, he has frequently been on duty at the Ministry of Civil Affairs, taking full control of the affairs of the ministry.
At this moment, the old man Tang Jianzheng said: "The Jingzhao Mansion has requested the Ministry of Civil Affairs to allocate funds to repair the infrastructure of the east and west cities. Logically speaking, this is a measure that will benefit the future, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs should strongly support it. But... but the Ministry of Civil Affairs has no money. ! Now the Western Region is in turmoil. His Royal Highness the King of Wei and the British Army have hundreds of thousands of troops. Every day Countless people were wasting money by eating horse chews, and the east had to keep an eye on Goguryeo to prevent any trouble. Tens of thousands of troops were heavily deployed in Liaodong, waiting for the day to come. This promising situation looked like a raging fire cooking oil and blooming flowers, but in fact it was a waste of countless money and food. It has been empty for a long time...I really can’t allocate the money.”
This topic was raised by Fang Jun just now, but Tang Jian immediately shied away from it.
Fang Xuanling, who was sitting in the main seat, was expressionless, and Fang Jun, who was sitting below, was also expressionless.
Cui Renshi, the Minister of Civil Affairs, had a gloomy face...
Originally, Tang Jian was not in charge of much, and all the affairs of the Ministry of Civil Affairs were controlled by him, the minister. Now that the Guanlong Group and the emperor were at loggerheads, Tang Jian was encouraged by the old men of the Guanlong Group to jump out and go against Fang Jun...< br>
It is said that Tang Jian had a very good relationship with Fang Xuanling and had a good friendship with Fang Jun. He had taken great care of Fang Jun in the past. However, Tang Jian was born in the Tang family in Jinyang, Bingzhou, and his grandfather was a member of the Guanlong Group. At this time, family interests and personal friendships conflict, and the former naturally takes the lead, and personal feelings must be put aside.
Master Cui Ren was anxious, but he had nothing to do.
He was born in the Boling Cui family of the "Five Surnames and Seven Sects", and he and Fan Yang Lu, the maiden family of Fang Xuanling's wife Lu, are close relatives by marriage and family friends, both in public and private affairs. Naturally, he wants to support Fang Xuanling and his son at this moment. But how could he deal with the old cunning guy Tang Jian?
The political hall fell silent.
Tang Jian felt a little sad.
When he was appointed Minister of the Ministry of Industry, he wanted to retire as an official, but was unwilling to serve as Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
In his opinion, it is boring for the Ministry of Civil Affairs to deal with money, food and other things all day long...
But who would have known that now that he is sitting in the position of Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, it is equivalent to putting a tight curse on Fang Jun. As long as Fang Jun wants to take action, he must have money. He is the owner of the card and allocates money and food. How can Fang Jun do it even if he has extraordinary abilities?
Many officials from the Guanlong Group in the political hall sighed secretly.
Guanzhong is the territory of the Guanlong Group, and most of the merchants and shops in the east and west cities belong to the Guanlong Group. This is the foundation on which they rely to maintain the prosperity of their family. How can Fang Jun be allowed to cause trouble?
No matter what Fang Jun wants to do, just oppose it...
Cen Wenwen, Ma Zhou and others frowned secretly.
Fang Jun still looked indifferent, nodded and said: "I also understand the difficulties of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. It is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice! It's just that the east and west cities are where the population of Chang'an gathers, and the houses, shops and other facilities in the city are all It was built in the early years of Wude. It has been in disrepair for a long time and has many hidden dangers. For example, if a fire breaks out, there is a lack of water wells to put out the fire, and because there are too many private buildings on the street, evacuation will be slow. If the fire spreads, the consequences will be unimaginable. Who will bear the blame? "
No funding for me?
Okay, if something goes wrong, don't look for me, I'll take the blame.
Are you opposed to what I propose?
Haha, you are so naive, do you think this is the end?
I was depressed... I found a detailed directory of official positions in the Tang Dynasty, and found that there were many errors in the information I looked up before. I have no choice but to modify it accordingly in the future according to my own settings. If there are any mistakes, please don't take it seriously...
Well, this information is Mr. Yan Gengwang's "Tang Pu Shang Cheng Lang Biao". It is definitely more accurate than Du Niang's information. Friends who like the history of the Tang Dynasty can check it out and learn about the changes in the positions of officials. Explore the rise and fall of the mighty Tang Dynasty...
