Chapter 448 Ventilation

The confiscated items had to be checked carefully before being handed over. That night, it was carried out in the school grounds of the Fushi Yamen in Jingxi Township. Shen Hao and Jiang Cheng were present.

In addition, three golden sword monks and more than a dozen palace eunuchs also came.

Cultivator Golden Sword is here to check the rare treasures, elixir, magical artifacts and other things confiscated this time as forensics, while those eunuchs are from the Imperial Palace Internal Affairs Department, so they are naturally here to collect some of the confiscated things.

A total of several copies of the list were transcribed, and both Shen Hao and Jiang Cheng had them, as well as those golden sword monks and eunuchs. Even because they captured the accountant of the Xu Mansion before, Jiang Cheng and the people in the palace still had a confession in their hands. After checking the list given by Shen Hao, they all looked over in surprise.

Jiang Cheng nodded to Shen Hao with a smile, definitely more reserved. And the leading eunuch praised Shen Hao's integrity repeatedly with an exaggerated expression.

honest? I?

It was the first time for Shen Hao to hear someone comment on him like that. The reason is that he did not withhold anything privately during this search, and there is basically no discrepancy between the confiscated list and the amount accounted for by Xu's accountant. Jiang Cheng, who was used to plucking geese, secretly praised Shen Hao as "sensible", and the eunuch was naturally even more surprised, "Is there really a clean person in this world? Tsk tsk, are you stupid?"

The handover ended just before dawn, and the group of eunuchs led their chariots and horses away contentedly. Seeing that posture, they took away 50% of the confiscated items, mainly money, and less pills and the like.

"You are smart. I didn't expect His Majesty to directly send people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to participate in the handover. You should be on the defensive first. This time you have a "clean" impression in front of Yao Xiaotian, which will be very beneficial to you in the future Yes." Just as the eunuchs left, Jiang Chengcheng patted Shen Hao on the shoulder with a smile and made fun of it.

honest? This is really something Shen Hao didn't think of before.

Is it a windfall?

"My lord, did you just say Yao Xiaotian?"

"Well, it's the eunuch who praised you just now. Although the head of the palace's internal affairs office has no rank and is not a serious official, this person has been His Majesty's companion since childhood, and he is close to His Majesty. He is useful at critical times."

Shen Hao nodded repeatedly after hearing this, but he didn't pay much attention to it. He is now a hundred households from the fifth rank, although he is high-ranked, he is still too far away from a person like Yao Xiaotian who is close to the sky.

"Later, let someone take away 10% of the remaining things from my side. Don't think it's too little. These things will also be recorded in the Yamen's account. You can take some back and give your people a little reward for running errands. .”

This is not greed for ink, but retention of public accounts. If it is a local yamen, the proceeds from this kind of confiscation will go to the national treasury, but Xuanqingwei belongs to the emperor's private soldiers, and the expenses are paid by the emperor's internal affairs department, so the proceeds from the confiscation also belong to the internal affairs department and Xuanqingwei at all levels .

However, after these intercepted things are in hand, how to divide them depends on the minds of the chief officials at all levels.

"Then thank you, my lord." Don't let it be in vain, Shen Hao is not polite, so he agreed.

Taking advantage of the time when the school grounds were still distributing things, Jiang Cheng asked Shen Hao to accompany him to walk around the school grounds. He wanted to take this opportunity to say hello to Shen Hao first.

"This matter is considered to be over. Your credit is obvious to all, and you can hold Xu Hong in such a short period of time, which makes many people praise you. Hahaha."

"Your Excellency is absurd, and the subordinates also have an element of luck."

Jiang Cheng interrupted the modest words with a wave of his hand. He shook his head and said, "Don't be modest. Luck is a part of strength. If someone else does it, it wouldn't be possible without your luck. So even if the case is dismissed The cover was suddenly put on it, but it has nothing to do with you. The reward that should be given to you will still be given."

Award?

Shen Hao immediately pricked up his ears. But I didn't have much expectation in my heart.

He had thought before that even if he made great contributions this time, there is a high probability that he will be rewarded with some pills and meritorious service. It is unlikely that he will be promoted in terms of title and position. After all, he is too young in terms of age and qualifications. Besides, the Black Flag Battalion in Fengri City is now a good place to gain credit and qualifications, otherwise why would he take the trouble to get a "pilot" out? They are all planning for the future.

Therefore, Shen Hao's expectations for the "reward" are limited, and he is more prepared to treat it as an accumulation.

However, as soon as Jiang Cheng opened his mouth, he set the tone for the rest of the words, and directly lifted Shen Hao's little heart.

"Your ability is obvious to all, and you have great potential. You performed well this time, so I'm going to put some burden on you."

Shen Hao paused at his feet first, then quickly followed, and said cautiously: "My subordinates thank you for your appreciation, but it's just that Fengri City is on the road, and many things have only just begun. If I..."

"Stop, I haven't finished my sentence, how do you know you will be transferred?"

"Ah? But there is nothing missing here in Fengsun City, this"

Jiang Cheng said with a smile: "The Black Flag Camp in Fengri City was set up when I was in charge of thousands of households there, and then it was handed over to you, and you made it so beautiful that it became a national dynasty later. The only "pilot", that is a good place, don't say you are reluctant to leave, even if you are willing to leave, I will hold you there, so as not to make others cheaper. Besides, there are many things in Fengri City that cannot be separated from you.

But you are really lucky, thanks to this "pilot program" that you created yourself, it gives us a legitimate reason to break the rules. "

After a pause, Jiang Cheng continued: "I'm going to raise your position by one level to take the position of Deputy Thousand Household. The title will still be from the fifth rank. Don't take up other people's vacancies. Simply put, your current Black Flag Camp hundred The household establishment was raised to the sub-thousand household establishment.”

Shen Hao's heart jumped for joy.

There is no precedent in the Jingjiu Dynasty for promoting the staff on the spot, and even promoting his position by half a level, without the need for transfer, but it can indeed be avoided by "piloting". The benefits are real.

It is almost perfect to be promoted without leaving Fengsun City, a good place to gain qualifications.

"Thank you for your cultivation, my lord! This subordinate will definitely remember it in my heart until death!" Shen Hao knelt down on one knee and cupped his fists to express his gratitude.

"Get up, this is what you deserve."

"If there is no adult to cultivate all the way, the subordinates would never be able to achieve today's achievements!" Shen Hao said it from the bottom of his heart, and Jiang Cheng really had nothing to say to him.

"Okay, you don't need to act like a child, as long as you can remember it in your heart. Get up." Then he stretched out his hand and lifted Shen Hao's arm.

Shen Hao stood up and thanked him again.

"After this case is over, do you have any plans for the next step?"

"Returning to your lordship, this subordinate intends to continue to improve the Blackwater Project. There will be many people involved in the case of the Frontier Army and the Jingxi Army this time. It is a good time for us to enter the field."
