Chapter 77 Inspection Division
The Lu family of "Yunshui" controlled the position of river inspection in Ludong County for at least hundreds of years.
Almost all rivers and lakes in Ludong County have become the private areas of the Lu family.
In fact, this situation is also very common in various prefectures and counties in the Immortal Dynasty of the Great Jin Dynasty.
Because Emperor Jinyang was the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty established by joining forces with some practicing families, he gave these practicing families a lot of rights and convenience from the beginning.
Later, the Immortal Dynasty used the Nine-rank Zhongzheng system as the foundation for establishing a country, and the system further exacerbated this situation.
In the local area, the families of the states and counties are all like local emperors, but at least they have always controlled the real power of many places.
After eight thousand years, it has been difficult to return, and even if the court wants to change, there is no good way.
More than 800 years ago, the imperial court established county schools, county schools, and state schools in the local area, and Imperial College in the central government, in order to make some changes to such a deadlock.
But the effect is obvious, and almost all local schools are in name only.
The Lu family has always controlled the river inspection position for many years. It can be imagined that there must be many tricks hidden in it.
The reason why Liang Zhaohuang has not been to the inspection department and Lu Shiming to hand over the river inspection position in the past two months is that during this period, the Liang family cannot live without him; on the other hand, it also gives the Lu family enough time to deal with the relationship in the river inspection department, and it is hand-held.
What should be collected will be collected, what should be supplemented will be supplemented.
Don't cause too ugly things after the handover.
Liang Zhaohuang was considered a polite first and then a soldier. The Liang family had not yet determined which side to lean towards, and he was unwilling to have a quarrel with the Lu family.
However, now that the county magistrate has personally inquired, he can no longer delay and can only go to the inspection department to hand over.
The inspection office yamen is also located in "Jinguanfang", which is not far from the county yamen.
Liang Zhaohuang left the county government and went straight to the inspection department.
The inspectors usually inspect the inspection department in various towns, mountains, forests, rivers and lakes. Not many people stayed in the inspection department, only a few civil servants.
These civil servants are generally held by the children of the family members who serve as patrols.
It not only facilitates monopoly on power, but also allows these families to gain some immortal dynasty and national fortunes, which can help in practice.
Although only officials are not officials, and the national fortunes that can be divided into very few, they are always better than none.
Liang Zhaohuang came to the inspection department and revealed his identity. Someone immediately led him into the hall of the river inspection office in the inspection department's yamen.
Here, a civil servant who had received the news was already waiting. When he saw him, he immediately stepped forward to greet him and said, "Liar Zhou Li, I have met the inspector."
Liang Zhaohuang looked at the other party in confusion and asked, "Are you not from the Lu family?"
"Sir, it's not a villain." The civil servant Zhou Li said with a grin, "The villain is just a casual cultivator in the city and dare not catch up with the Lu family."
When Liang Zhaohuang heard this, he became more confused and frowned and asked, "When did you enter the River Inspection Department?"
"Two months ago."
Zhou Li replied respectfully.
"Who recruited you in? Where is the original civil servant of the River Inspection Department?"
Liang Zhaohuang continued to ask.
"Report to the master, it was the original Lu Dianli. After recruiting villains, Lu Dianli resigned and left."
Zhou Li responded respectfully.
Liang Zhaohuang's expression changed slightly when he listened to the other party's words, and a bad premonition suddenly arose in his heart.
"What about the original inspector Lu?"
"Since the villain came, I have never seen Lord Lu."
Zhou Li said respectfully.
Liang Zhaohuang took a deep breath, and there was already a vague guess in his heart.
"It seems that my kind-hearted 'first ritual' was completely abandoned by the other party."
"The other party has no intention of 'recitation' at all, it is just to directly 'rear the soldiers'!"
"Hmph! Since that's the case, I want to see what tricks you can play for me?"
Liang Zhaohuang stepped forward, got to the main seat of the hall, and asked in a deep voice:
"Zhou Li, when the civil servant left, did you hand over something to you?"
"Sir, some! Some!"
Zhou Li hurriedly stepped forward, took out a jade box, handed it carefully, and said:
"This is what Lu Dianli left behind and asked the villain to hand it over to the adults."
Liang Zhaohuang took the jade box, which had a simple ban on it, which could be broken, just to ensure that the jade box had not been opened before handing it to him.
Liang Zhaohuang reached out to tear the seal with a magic power. He opened the jade box and saw three golden jade albums and a seal inside.
The seal is the official seal of the river inspector, but Lu Shiming actually handed it out so simply?
Liang Zhaohuang became more and more suspicious. He picked up the seal, carefully poured his spiritual consciousness and magic power into it to investigate, but no problems were found.
He put down the seal, picked up the three volumes of golden and jade albums to check it out.
Three volumes of picture albums, one volume is the hydrological picture album of Ludong County, which records the hydrological information of rivers and lakes in all parts of Ludong County, but they are the simplest information, including information on location, flow direction and other surfaces. As for deeper information, there is nothing at all.
Liang Zhaohuang believed that the Lu family had been in charge of the river inspection of Ludong County for hundreds of years, and they must have all the rivers and the most detailed information in the lakes, but unfortunately they did not stay at all.
He even believed that if the regulations had not clearly stipulated that these hydrological atlas must be handed over during handover, Lu Shiming would not have even left such a simplest information atlas.
Shaking his head slightly, Liang Zhaohuang put down the hydrological album and continued to look at the other two albums.
The remaining two books are: one is the account books of the River Inspection Department and the other is the roster.
The account books record the income, expenditure and inventory resources of the River Inspection Department.
The list is the information of all registered personnel of the River Inspection Department.
However, when Liang Zhaohuang checked these two albums, his face suddenly became more and more ugly.
According to the records in the account book, the River Inspection Department not only has no surplus resources, but is deficit every year and even owes taxes in the county town!
The list was almost empty, with Zhou Li, the only civil servant, and only one of the patrol officers named Li Huan. When they saw the information, they were also new recruits two months ago, and they were obviously all casual cultivators who sent them to the top of the tank.
Even according to the accounts and list records, the River Inspection Department still owes these two people the salary and has no resources to pay for two months!
"Hmph!" Liang Zhaohuang couldn't help but snorted coldly, put down the picture album, his face was extremely gloomy and ugly, "Okay, Lu Shiming, I'll give you a face, you'll reply to me like this!"
"I really think I'm easy to bully?"
Liang Zhaohuang was angry, but he couldn't think of any good way to take revenge. He could only think of the more he thought about it, and he became more angry.
In this case, you can either suffer a loss and take on such a mess; or you can only report to the county magistrate and investigate thoroughly!
Liang Zhaohuang obviously did not want to suffer such a depressed loss, but if he wanted to report it, Lu Shiming would have done everything long ago.
More than two months was enough for him to make all arrangements.
