Chapter 136 Panyu trembling (3)
When Prince Xing's Yin was at a loss what to do, someone suddenly asked for a meeting. Hearing that he also brought an order from the Governor's Palace, Li Gao felt a chill in his heart and hurriedly greeted him.
"See Li Fuyin——"
Two young generals came in. They were wearing leather armor and carrying knives at their waists. They looked very heroic and eye-catching.
"I wonder if the two generals are here, what should I do?" Li Gao held his airs and sat on the chair calmly, asking slowly.
Although the entire Panyu City is now under military control and the soldiers have a high status, Li Gao is not afraid at all and even wants to use these soldiers to improve his prestige.
After all, he is not only the Yin of Prince Xing, but also the cousin of Governor Li. If he becomes king and emperor in the future, he will belong to the authentic clan, or at worst he will be a duke. What domineering soldier dares to pluck the hair from his tiger body?
"Reporting to the governor, we and I are the newly appointed Jinwu guards who patrol the city. We are here to see the governor!" The two of them also understood the status of the person in front of them, so they naturally lowered their posture and lowered their heads.
"Inspecting the Jinwu Guards?" Li Gao thought for a moment, and then he suddenly realized that since the Tang Dynasty, in addition to the county government in the capital, Jing Zhaoyin, the left and right Jinwu Guards were also responsible for patrolling the palace and the capital day and night to guard against illegal activities.
Violation.
Of course, there are also the famous bad commanders, left and right street envoys, etc., but the ones who really occupy the dominant position are the Jinwu guards. They have a prominent position. They were personally appointed by the emperor. They are not afraid of the powerful and are the first-class figures in the capital.
The leaders of the left and right Jinwu guards are also called generals and have great power.
Under certain circumstances, if the governor made a mistake, the Jinwu Guards could even apply for arrest.
"I will be dealing with you in the future, so I hope you will take good care of me!" Li Gao's attitude changed and he became friendly instantly, which made the two Jinwu guards a little uncomfortable.
Since the dissolution of the city system and the birth of the night market, the difficulty of city management has increased several times, especially in a large city with a population of hundreds of thousands like Panyu City, the difficulty can be imagined.
The county government and the government government were responsible for managing the common people, while the Jinwu Guards were responsible for managing the powerful slaves in the government who committed crimes. Their deterrent effect was immediate, and Li Gao couldn't help but be happy. "The two generals arrived just in time.
Today, there are countless people committing crimes and crimes, but there are not many yamen servants, and everyone is disorganized. We need the help of two generals to govern the entire Panyu!"
"What the governor said is absolutely true. I am here to discuss with you how to clear Panyu City in a short time!" Chen Bing raised his head, puffed out his chest, and said loudly:
"The Governor naturally understands that it is not easy for the Governor. The two of us specially led hundreds of brothers to inspect various places in Panyu!"
"I dare to ask the governor where the most chaos is. We will go there without any delay -"
"Okay, the two generals are really brave and powerful!" Li Gao clapped his hands and said with a smile:
"In the city of Panyu, the West Market is the busiest and most complicated, so the two generals should go there to clean up the thieves and give us a stable Panyu."
Therefore, Chen and Bing were driven away without even taking a sip of tea, and went to the West Market to inspect.
During the inspection along the way, it can be said that it was calm and calm, with no disturbance at all. It was not as chaotic as what the governor said.
"Brother Zhao, it seems that my method is wrong!" Chen Bing frowned momentarily as he looked at the pedestrians coming and going.
After capturing many high-ranking officials of the prime minister last time, Chen Bing instantly won the favor of Li Langjun. From a small team leader, he became the captain of the Jinwu Guard in an instant. From the seventh rank, it can be said that it was a leap.
And rise.
He had just been promoted to the position of school captain this time, and he did not want to waste this opportunity. He had to take advantage of the opportunity and perform well again, otherwise he would be forgotten by everyone.
"Where is the city order?" Realizing that this was not the solution, Chen Bing's mind changed sharply, and then he realized that if he wanted to do things conveniently, he would need the help of local snakes.
The Jinwu Guard became a vacant post after the An-Shi Rebellion, and now it has been reset, which must have deep meaning.
"I wonder what you are doing, generals?" The city magistrate looked round, neatly dressed, and followed two healthy servants behind him. He looked more like a wealthy businessman than a petty official.
The city magistrate, also known as the mayor, manages market commerce. The Southern Han Dynasty imitated Chang'an and established the West Market, which was also the busiest area in Panyu.
Municipal ordinances are easy to find. Every city is surrounded by a wall. If you find it near the gate, there will be municipal ordinances.
"We are the Jinwu Guards, responsible for patrolling Panyu day and night. We need your cooperation!" Chen Bing took out his token and said seriously.
"General, you are so polite, so polite!" The city magistrate looked at the token, then looked at the hundreds of soldiers, and instantly recognized that it was genuine, and couldn't help but bend down.
"Let me ask you, how many household registrations and businesses are there in the West Market?" Chen Bing asked.
"General, the West City is so big that I am not the only city commander. What I govern is only four of the twelve streets!"
"On these four streets alone, there are 679 merchants, and the number of people coming and going on weekdays is no less than 30,000." The city magistrate glanced at these murderous soldiers, swallowed his saliva, and said seriously.
"Oh? I can't stop watching it!" Standing upstairs, Chen Bing had a sneer on his face. In the area in front of him, every street was densely packed with merchants. There were at least thousands of merchants in the four streets. This city order actually concealed the
Paying taxes on hundreds of companies is simply audacious.
No wonder that wearing gold and silver on weekdays turned out to be a way to collect taxes from the imperial court.
After all, the entire West Market is welcoming the consumption of hundreds of thousands of people in Panyu, so it is not surprising that there are more merchants.
"General, spare your life, general, spare your life!" The city commander's face instantly turned pale and he shouted loudly:
"I'm just following Grand Master Gong's orders. How could I have the courage?"
"Only Grand Master Gong?"
"There are some other people. After all, those salaries are not enough. It is not easy to maintain a life in the capital. The hundreds of families who have kept it hidden will all share the profits..."
"Okay, okay, I won't pursue this matter today. You just need to tell me who are the rogues in the entire West City and take me to catch them!"
Chen Bing listened lazily to his tirade. Tax evasion was not under his jurisdiction in the first place. These were just foreshadowing.
"In recent years, there have been very few wars in the imperial court, and there have been few recruitments. There have been many scoundrels in the market, and there are people behind them all. I am just a small city commander, so I can't stand against them..."
"No need to say anything, just take me there, catch them one by one and serve them with sticks, and no one will be wronged." Chen Bing said calmly.
On weekdays, Wang Dalai, nicknamed "Er Lengzi" in the West Market, likes to walk casually in the market, receiving admiring looks from many merchants, and flirting with beautiful young ladies. His life is extremely happy.
But I got news from the government office that a group of soldiers had to patrol some city despite having a good life. Isn't this trying to steal the jobs of those government officials?
