One Step to The End

Early in the morning, three major events happened in Luoyang City...

Xia Buer left Luoyang and took the emperor’s payment and rewards to the Northwest. King Ning and King Yan went to the southwest and divided their troops to suppress the rebellion in Tubo. The government-run "Zhenmoguan" was established, which is currently the only one. Legal denomination.

"Master Li! I'm waiting for the draft statute to finish reading, what do you think..."

In the back of the "seven doors", the new officials of the Summon Division were seated. Four groups of people were seated in a distinct manner. The cronies of Qianniuwei, Baiyunguan, Taiyidao, and Master Kang sat in the second seat. Zhao Guanren, who was on board, only brought two left and right hands.

Zhao Guanren drank wolfberry tea without looking up, and said, "Master Kang is our Shangguan. Please ask him to speak first!"

"The initial establishment of the Zhenmo Temple should be distinguished from the previous temples, focusing on reducing demons, supplemented by taxation..."

Master Kang in a purple robe sits in the first place and ponders: "The principals of the prefectures must bear heavy burdens and share the worries for the emperor and the people. The assessment period is half a year. The other questions are not big, but can be improved in the course of exploration, Master Li?"

"Everyone is lucky, just do what you said..."

Zhao Guanren put down the tea bowl with a smile, most of the room frowned, and Master Kang also said with a look of disgust: "Master Li! You are the chief officer of the Summon Division. If you have any comments, just say it and put it on the counter. Let’s discuss it together, don’t be yin and yang!"

"I said everyone is fortunate enough, how come the yin and yang are weird..."

Zhao Guanren said angrily: "You have emptied my power, the power of appointment and dismissal belongs to you, the financial power belongs to Tianyangzi, and the jurisdiction is assigned to Lu Popi and Qianniuwei. Even the chiefs of the prefectures are yours. You can just play by yourself, why bother to ask me opinions?"

"So you agree, you don't have any comments..."

Master Kang looked at him with a smile, and Lu Poyan also sneered: "Li Ma! This official is called Lu Poyan, next time you can remember clearly, everyone is doing errands for the emperor, not doing things right, and complaining. Don't post it in public, it's so demeaning!"

"Secretary Zhou! Have all the minutes of the meeting written down..."

Zhao Guanren looked at a small official who was taking shorthand and said: "If there are no mistakes or omissions, please sign and stamp it with all the participants. Finally, write down the attitude of the officer. For the good development of the Swordsman Division, the officer is unconditional. Support the work of Mr. Kang!"

"Take it down! Please check..."

The small official hurried forward with the booklet. Zhao Guanren looked through it roughly, took out the seal of the town demon division and stamped it with a riding seal, and said: "Avoid some people talking like farting. Please check it out and stamp it. Every discussion must be recorded by someone and kept in duplicate!"

"You can memorize it thoroughly, you only ask..."

Lu Poyan took the booklet and flipped through it, and it seemed that other people followed and checked it one after another. They didn’t find anything wrong before they stamped it. The four groups of people had already discussed the countermeasures, and divided the Devil’s Suppressor into a little bit of oil and water. Not to Zhao Guanren.

"All right!"

Master Kang stood up very satisfied, and said: "Since Mr. Ma has no disagreement, the officer handed the charter to the emperor. The errand will be dispatched today to supervise the temples and temples of the prefectures. There is a gap!"

"Yes!"

Everyone stood up and saluted, but Zhao Guanren was still sitting in a chair drinking tea. Master Kang turned his head and wanted to leave, but the master bookkeeper shouted: "Master Kang! Dare to ask when the silver pair will be delivered. There is still a deficit of more than one million taels on the account of our Town Demon Division!"

"..."

All the officials were taken aback for a while, and they were divided up for a long time, and they had forgotten the money. Everyone looked at Zhao Guanren in unison.

"Puff~hahaha..."

Zhao Guanren squirted out a sip of tea, waved his hands and said, "I'm sorry! It's so **** funny. You guys really staged a good show. I guess the name of the play should be called-Eunuch Talking with Women, nonsense ( Chicken) talk! Hahaha..."

"Li Zhiping!"

Master Kang said angrily: "You still have the face to laugh here. You promised that the emperor will fill the shortfall, and the prefectures will set up the devil's bureau, and all the silver will be raised by themselves. What's the money?" "Oh~ I really have the foresight, otherwise Some people talk like farts..."

Zhao Guanren raised the minutes of the meeting and stood up and said: "According to the charter you drafted, this official has only official jurisdiction, and the shipping rights and financial rights are in the hands of you and Tianyangzi. You ask me the money, who Ask whoever wants the money. If you don’t have any money, you can earn it!"

"Aren't you bullying..."

Tianyangzi said angrily: "The regulations that I have drawn up are based on the premise of not losing money. You owe more than one million taels of silver, and you don't even have the money to start working again. How can I wait to make money?"

"Selling a house and selling land, you can't sell yourself, what's the use of crying poor with the official..."

Zhao Guanren ridiculed: "This official tells you that the emperor asked the Swordsman to pay off more than 7 million taels of debt within half a year, and then pay another 5 million yuan in the remaining half a year. Next year, it will have to increase to 20 million taels of silver. Everyone! Let’s sell your ass, hahaha..."

"Good, you Li Zhiping..."

Master Kang said with a sullen face: "No wonder you keep silent. I want us to beg you. Let's give you both the financial and management rights. Be careful of being choked to death!"

"I don't have any rights. I can deal with this if I have this. Thank you for sharing the worries for me..."

Zhao Guanren patted the minutes in his hands and laughed: "The tasks set by the emperor cannot be accomplished. You are still thinking about dividing money and power. Why don't you think about how much money will be spent in war? Just wait to hang yourself, haha~"

"you……"

Everyone stared at him in horror. Zhao Guanren took the minutes of the meeting into his arms and walked out the back door with a smile. The two deputies also stunned their mouths and ran away. A group of people immediately looked at each other and looked at Master Kong again. .

"Huh~"

Master Kang shook his hand and sat back, disdainfully said, "Isn't it just over one million taels of silver? Each of us will raise a sum of money by ourselves. If we give him hundreds of thousands of start-up costs, if he dares to hold back. Start work, and then see how this official punishes him!"

"Yes! Big deal, self-funded..."

Tian Yangzi and the others also sat back with a sullen face, and Lu Poyan asked again: "The master book! You let the accountant do the calculations, how much money is enough?"

"My lords, just now, Mrs. Li has already clarified that it will cost more than two million just to start the work..."

The master book said in a weak voice: "Add in the time required for transportation, building, investment, etc., at least three months will be paid in. During this period, the monthly salary will be more than 100,000, and there will be an account of 7 million. Also, if the payment is overdue, the interest is scary. This is a bottomless pit!"

"Nonsense!"

Master Kang said angrily: "Jilaihuo's distribution rights have been robbed, even if they are allowed to advance in advance, they are willing to pay two million, don't you have any brains?"

"My lord! You don't know yet, Lord Yujiang has gone to the horse mansion to scold his mother..."

The master book said bitterly: "Everyone makes Li Ma Keng scared. I found a knowledgeable shopkeeper to check the accounts. After reading it, I found that the loss was not included. A box of tap fire has to be allocated to the market. You have to sell at least four or two in a box, ordinary people simply can't afford it!"

"So expensive?"

Everyone was taken aback. Tianyangzi frowned and said, "This is really troublesome. There is going to be a war. Merchants are holding the money and dare not invest randomly. Those who have spare money will go to the salt and food farms. Yes, it’s even harder to get someone to pay for it!"

"Masters! The villain said something that shouldn't be said, this is a trick..."

The master book said: "The old shopkeeper knows from the book that he is not a person who has violated this trip for more than ten years and cannot make such a beautiful book. Li Ma is an expert with empty gloves and white wolves. He has been waiting for you to divide powers. , I’m afraid it’s already... ran away!"

"Run?"

Everyone stood up all of a sudden, and Master Kang shouted loudly: "Quick! Send someone to the four gates to encircle Li Zhiping. If he dares to escape privately, he will take it on the spot!"

"Yes!"

Several Qianniuwei immediately ran out, and a group of people really caught fire in the temple-panicked! After calculating it for a long time, I got myself involved, and they kept the responsibility clean.

"grown ups!"

Almost half an hour later, a Qianniuwei ran in and said out of breath: "Li Zhiping really ran away, but he took the slip approved by the Ministry of Engineering, and also took the purchasing manager of the Princess Mansion. I will wait... Don't dare to stop!"

Tianyangzi asked in surprise: "What is a fake note, why did he go to the Ministry of Industry?"

"Li Zhiping submitted the minutes of the meeting to the Ministry of Industry, saying that according to the appointment of Mr. Kang, he should go out of the city to order labor and materials immediately..."

Qian Niuwei said with an aggrieved expression: "Li Zhiping is a minister of the Ministry of Industry, so he asked Master Shang Shu for ten days of leave, and by the way, he bought the items needed for the wedding. Master Shang Shu wrote a leave approval letter and urged us... Make money!"

"Asshole! He had premeditated..."

Master Kang smashed the tea bowl abruptly, his face suddenly turned green, and everyone yelled at him.

"what?"

Two eunuchs suddenly walked in, and the middle-aged **** headed by him was surprised and said: "What's wrong? You waited for the initial establishment of the Swordsman Division, why did you scold the chief officer?"

"Master Zhang!"

Master Kang quickly reduced his anger, stood up and smiled, "Why did you come here in person? Mr. Ann's health is okay, we are all worried!"

"Which Chief Ann, why doesn't this general recognize..."

The middle-aged father-in-law patted the purple robe on his body, walked straight to the first place and sat down, and everyone's expressions immediately changed. Tianyangzi hurriedly stepped forward to pour tea for each other.

"Uh-huh~ The old ghost died last night..."

The little father-in-law said in a low voice: "Jin Wuwei actually found Gu poison in his room. The emperor was furious and ordered someone to pull him out to feed the wild dogs. Now the general manager is our General Zhang, the third-level Huaiguo University. General, the court will announce it tomorrow!"

"Dead? Then Director Wei, no! Where's Father Wei..."

A group of people squeezed in in surprise, and the little father-in-law said with a smile: "Manager Wei is doing well. He is serving the Queen Mother Lafayette. He is the chief **** of the inner palace. He will supervise each other one after the other with Director Zhang. Otherwise, there will be another one. The unpredictable old ghost is terrible!"

"General Zhang! Congratulations to Gao Sheng, little care, no respect..."

A group of flatterers immediately surrounded them, digging out the silver pieces on their bodies as filial piety. Manager Zhang made a serious effort, and the father-in-law led everyone out. Only Master Kang and Tianyangzi were left, and they bent over respectfully. forward.

"Master Kang! Your complexion doesn't seem to be very good, don't blame General Ben for blocking you..."

Mr. Zhang stood up and held his hand to the sky, and said: "The emperor's word! The anti-thieves are in chaos. All the frontline wars are the most important. The Demon Division will postpone paying off the debts. Within half a year, raise five million taels of silver, or the equivalent of food and grass as military salaries. Delay!"

"Huh? This..."

Master Kang's complexion turned green suddenly, but Director Zhang leaned up and said in a low voice, "You are an old man of the Thirteenth Taibao. You should know that the treasury is empty, and the war is burning silver, and the emperor is also sympathetic to you, otherwise you will not It will only cost five million taels, but 7.5 million!"

"Is there no imperial decree?"

Master Kang looked at him with constipation, Tian Yangzi also covered his forehead with regret.

"Oh~ How confused you are this time, Tianyangzi understands..."

Manager Zhang rolled his eyes and said, "You have to settle this account. Can the emperor protect you from the arrow, but the emperor will try his best to help you wait for the mediation. Besides, Li Luma is not a powerful person. He's going to do it, he's a master of cheating!"

"It's me that he pitted..."

Master Kang stomped angrily: "That kid has already run away, you quickly let the emperor give me an imperial decree, I will go outside the city and catch him back!"

"Are you crazy? That's the son-in-law, so do it yourself..."

Manager Zhang flew away without annoyance. Master Kang slumped down on the chair. Who knows that Tianyangzi arched his hand and said, "My lord! The next official goes outside the city to chase after him. Maybe he can come back by himself, three days later. You must return within the time limit, so be safe and restless!"

After Tianyangzi finished speaking, he ran away in a hurry. Master Kang didn’t even have time to say anything. He gritted his teeth and came to the backyard. It's solved, I tied him and gave it to Yin Zhiping!"
