Looking at Cai Xuewu's gray hair on his temples, the flat box in his hand, and the dilapidated branch office of the Office of the Inspection Office, Qin Fei suddenly understood how heavy the burden was.

In the Dongdu, the emperor was very strict at the feet of the emperor, and there were many masters in the Inspection Office, and there were also Governor Yi, who had reached the peak of his cultivation and prestige in the court. Of course, the Inspection Office was invincible, and no one dared to say anything about the Inspection Office. However, in provinces like Anton, each has its own power, and the Inspection Office is just one of the forces. Maybe even the first three can't be ranked in, so how could it have a status?

Cai Xuewu explained: "Qinzhen Governor, our salary for the branch office is paid by the General Administration every month. Everyone is an official, so I opened the skylight and said something. The first hurdle was that it was only 90%! Someone in the General Administration deducted 10%. This is a convention. Even Governor Yi turned a blind eye and passed by. After arriving in Anton, officers at all levels deducted another 30%. The rest was distributed to the Wolf Tooth Army and the spies. The total loss was about 40% or 50%. It is not until the end of the month that the branch office has no money. After the money from the General Administration has arrived, it is only about 10,000 taels. The remaining eight or nine thousand taels will be solved by our branch office."

"How did it solve it before?" Qin Fei looked humbly asking for advice.

Cai Xuewu frowned, as if he was a little worried.

Qin Fei immediately smiled and said, "Governor Cai Zhen, close the door, we are a family. If the people in the Inspection Office do things outside, if they follow the rules, they would have long known how many times they have died. To be honest, I never follow the rules. Even if I want to cause trouble, I will solve the needs of the Inspection Office first. If there is anything, I might as well say it and give some advice."

Cai Xuewu felt a little relieved and looked out the door a few times, but seeing that Li Hunu and others were far away, he whispered: "There are only three ways to make money by dividing the office."

"First, let's handle the case of robbing the Andong government. For example, two families in a certain place fight each other, and each gathers 100 people to fight. Such a crackdown was originally done by the yamen. But if these two families are relatively rich, they can't give up. Immediately send people to the yamen to find a reason, well... For example, they illegally gather and form cliques, which involves the security of the empire. The agency took over the case with confidence, then knocked down the rich families on both sides, and knocked a thousand taels of silver for the whole family, and then turned a big thing into a small matter."

Qin Fei nodded repeatedly: "This is a good idea."

Cai Xuewu smiled and continued, "Second, when you knock on officials of Anton, few officials are clean and there must be a handle. However, since you can be an official, there must be someone above you. Even if you are an official who is really an official who is released from the imperial examination based on your ability, there are at least one teacher or classmate, right? If you can move these people, you can't move casually, you have to pick the rich. Then monitor them closely and find their handles, and then wait for the opportunity."

“What kind of opportunity?”

Cai Xuewu smiled sinisterly: "Of course, when the people above them were waiting for some trouble in Dongdu. A few months ago, an official came up with the grandfather of the King of Qi, that is, the thigh of the Gao family. Qin Zhen supervised you to cut the face of the Gao family with your own hands, and the King of Qi was helpless. The Gao family's reputation was greatly reduced for a while, and the people below us would immediately seize this opportunity and knock him hard. It would be unkind to touch his official position. Usually, just knock him for three or five thousand taels and scare him."

Qin Fei nodded: "Where is there a third?"

This made Cai Xuewu tangled for a long time. After carefully looking at Qin Fei's thirsty face, he finally said cruelly: "The third method is not to use it until there is no way."

"Please say it!"

"Our wolf teeth troops are equipped with better equipment than ordinary troops. The barbarians are weak, and they often send people to buy the weapons and equipment of our wolf teeth troops. If they are really too tight, the wolf teeth troops will organize an exercise..." Cai Xuewu's face turned slightly red, and he paused, and then said: "In fact, it is to pull the wolf teeth troops into the mountains for a few days, sell the weapons and equipment to the barbarians, and exchange some money for them. As for those sold, they will report to the exercise losses!"

Qin Fei was really shocked. Selling weapons to foreign races is equivalent to traitoring the country. If the environment of the branch office in Anton is so bad that it has to be maintained by traitoring the country, the position of the governor of the town is really sitting on the crater. If you are not careful, your head will be moved.

"How many times did the exercise last year?" Qin Fei asked cautiously.

"Seventeen or eighteen times..." Cai Xue said stutterlessly: "Last year, I was very tight, but Qin Zhenshu, you should know that what we sell to the barbarians is a bit old and second-class weapon. The best things are unwilling to be left and cannot be sold to them. Also, the barbarians rarely enter Anton to rob, and their main energy is to compete with the demons for control of the grassland."

Qin Fei gasped deeply. He had to sell weapons three times in two months on average. The wolf teeth troops are about to become empty-handed troops now? Do you really expect to bite them with your teeth when encountering war?

After Cai Xuewu explained it clearly, he said heavily: "Qin Zhen Governor, these things have to be done in the environment of Anton. Even if it seems absurd, we have tried it. This town Governor is too difficult to be. Fortunately, the old brother is going back soon and the heavy burden will be handed over to you. Qin Governor is a young hero, with courage and support from ministers in the court. It must be better than the old brother. However, I would like to remind you that the old guys in the branch office do not take the town Governor seriously. You must adapt and change slowly."

Qin Fei was furious. The Office of the Inspection and Affairs was extremely particular about the rules, and the superiors and inferiors were clearly distinguished. The saying that the senior officials were crushed to death was the most appropriate to use in the Office of the Inspection and Affairs. Cai Xuewu, the governor of the branch office, could he say that the old man didn't take him seriously... Is this still the office of the Office of the Office of the Inspection and Affairs?

Seeing Qin Fei feeling dissatisfied, Cai Xuewu smiled bitterly: "The old fox is not young anymore, and at least has been in the Inspection Office for more than ten years. As the saying goes, the soldiers who are fighting in the camp and flowing through the river will be replaced every few years. Some of the officers who are divided into divisions may not move for more than ten years. If an official wants to do things, he must count on officials. They are in Andong, with a wide range of people, familiar circles, black and white, and even have acquaintances in northern Xinjiang and barbarians. They are convenient to do anything and cannot afford to offend them."

"In addition, you have to know who were the previous governors of Anton. Except for the old brother who was not good at doing well, he would be demoted when he returned. Those people are now well-known figures in the Procuratorial Office, and there are a few admirals in Tongzhi. The Yuan Admiral from the Executive Office was born in the governor of Anton. Some old men, relying on their old subordinates of a certain admiral, would not give anyone any face. If you make things difficult for him, he could run to Dongdu to cry to his old boss."

Cai Xuewu sighed: "There is an inspector in the branch office. This official is quite young. He is in charge of finance, and his expenses and income are more than his hands. Do you know how old he is?"

"How old?" Qin Fei asked in surprise.

"He is almost sixty, but he is dominating his position and never refunds. If he doesn't care about other things, he will have money to make money. When he pays military salaries, he will lose a lot. Usually, even if his grandson goes out to buy a candied haws, he can get a bill to reimburse him. Anyway, he will approve the reimbursement by himself, stamp it, and get the money, and handle it completely."

Qin Fei said angrily: "This is lawless, Governor Cai, don't you teach him a lesson?"

"How to teach a lesson? Don't think he was an inspector. When he was an inner guard in Dongdu, he stood guard at Governor Yi's house, and the station was still on the inner courtyard. Every time he drank some wine, he bragged that Governor Yi was very kind to call him Xiaofeng. Don't say that during the holidays, this old man bought some specialties and sent it to Dongdu to the Governor's house..."

Cai Xuewu said depressedly: "A provincial governor like me, standing in front of Governor Yi, doesn't even dare to breathe. People can chat in front of Governor Yi, this is the difference!"

Qin Fei sighed: "Governor Cai Zhen, after hearing what you said, I am ready to carry my bag back to Dongdu. This place is really hard to stay..."

Cai Xuewu changed color in horror. He picked up a package from the corner of the wall and rushed out without looking back, shouting: "The handover is over, the old brother is back to Dongdu now, so there is no need to send it..."
