"Master Inspector, are you planning to agree? If so, your annual filial piety can indeed be higher!" Wang Yunxiao said with a smile.
"Yunxiao, can you tell me, apart from what you do on the surface, what do you do secretly to earn so much?" Lin Haoming asked with a smile.
"Sir, if you are here for a long time, maybe I will let you know, but you are just making a transition, so don't embarrass me. How about I give you 8,000 per year?" Wang Yunxiao also gave it straightforwardly. Bottom line given above.
"Ten thousand, that's it!" Lin Haoming said very bachelorly.
"Sir, this is beyond the bottom line, really!" Wang Yunxiao was confused.
"This is your bottom line, not necessarily the bottom line of the people behind you!" Lin Haoming signaled.
Seeing this, Wang Yunxiao could only say: "I'll ask and then answer!"
Lin Haoming watched him leave, then took out the sound transmission crystal and said something. A quarter of an hour later, he turned back and said: "Sir, you are really powerful. The people above me agreed, but I hope that Lin Xunchang will not do it in the future." You can increase the price at will. Unless necessary, just pretend that you don't know anything. We will try our best to cooperate with you in matters on the surface. We will not interfere with Director Ma and Deacon Fang's power on the surface. And in this regard, you can actually get another one or two thousand Blood Crystal Pills a year!"
"Don't feel bad. I asked you to pay. Now that it's settled, I will come here for one or two days every month. If there is anything that needs me to deal with, you can also find me. But I am more You're lazy, it's best not to disturb you if you have nothing to do!" Lin Haoming ordered.
"Don't worry, sir. We are measured and will not go out of our way every year when purchasing, making it difficult for you to be a good person." Wang Yunxiao assured.
"That's the best. By the way, what happened to the chief of Bibo City, Bo Fu? Why didn't you come to see me when I came?" Lin Haoming asked strangely.
"Bo Fu's side is really not neglecting you, but he is in seclusion to enter the realm of Hades. Before the news that you were coming, he had already gone into seclusion. He also mentioned it to me before he went into seclusion. From now on, every year in Bibo City It will give you a benefit, but it will naturally be much less than what you get in the Caimai Mansion. It may only have three to five hundred blood crystal pills, but it is still enough to support a few concubines!" Wang Yunxiao explained with a smile.
"I see. In that case, forget it." Lin Haoming had no intention of actively causing trouble.
After finalizing this filial piety, things suddenly became stable.
Lin Haoming's status as an inspector is placed here. Everyone in Bibo City, except for Mrs. Bing in Bibo Tower, treats Lin Haoming respectfully. Lin Haoming does not go to Bibo Tower anymore. As he said, apart from going to Caimai Mansion every month Once or twice, most of them were practicing in their own mansion, and a small part of the time was spent walking around the city with my concubine.
In fact, for Lin Haoming, if he had enough Blood Crystal Pills, he really planned to continue practicing. However, in fact, he had less than 300,000 Blood Crystal Pills on hand. Even if he added the annual filial piety and accumulated it, if he continued to practice, it would only be enough. It will be used up in thirty or forty years. At the rate of fifty coins a day, it is eighteen thousand a year. However, there is a shortfall of six to seven thousand in my income. In addition, I have to support a family. The gap is even bigger. I guess I can use it for myself. Cultivation only requires ten thousand blood crystal pills.
To go down to the Nine Netherworlds, one needs help, but one's own strength is also necessary. A weak person who cannot cultivate to the so-called Nine Paths of the Underworld may not be able to do what he wants to do.
Time passed like this little by little, and half a year passed in the blink of an eye.
In the past six months, Lin Haoming has refined almost 10,000 blood crystal pills. His cultivation has obviously increased, but he is still far from filling up his current pool. However, Xin'er's cultivation has advanced another level, reaching the Seven Netherworld and Six Paths. , one hundred and sixty years ago, when Fang Heisha recommended this daughter to himself, she was only from Qiyou Sandao. It seemed that she was extremely talented, so it was no wonder that she was not willing to accept her fate.
Now that the day of Sui Gong is approaching, Lin Haoming also needs to return to the main city. After Sui Gong, there will be an annual small road meeting. Under the road master, the left and right envoys, the four major walks, the eight major inspections, and the thirty-six chiefs will participate in the small road meeting. middle.
Compared with this small road meeting, there is naturally a big road meeting. This big road meeting is held once in a hundred years. The thirty-six principals are not qualified to participate, but their replacements are the heads of the sixty houses. It can be regarded as a once-in-a-hundred-year event.
Lin Haoming knew that on the upper floor, the state pastor also held a small state meeting once every hundred years. At that time, the twelve road masters would need to attend the meeting. The large state meeting was held once a thousand years, and the seven hundred and twenty palace masters also had to attend the meeting. When Cheng Biyou went to attend the Dazhou Conference, he was assassinated and assassinated.
He took Ma Zhankong and Wang Yunxiao back to the main city and went to Luhu Mansion to settle the accounts for this year.
Luhu Mansion is a government office that specializes in managing money and population. Zilu is managed by Xing Zhenshan as well. Luhu Mansion is also one of the three major government offices under Zilu. Compared with the Maimai Mansion that he manages, it is Both power and influence are much greater.
In addition to the Luhu Mansion, the two other mansions are the Luxing Mansion, which is in charge of judicial and criminal law, and the Lugong Mansion, which is in charge of the construction of war boats, magic formations, and various weapons.
There are six departments in the mortal kingdom, and some of them are similar to the three major mansions. However, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Personnel, and the Ministry of War do not seem to have any power. In fact, the power lies in the hands of Bai Feng and the left and right envoys. All positions of Zilu are destined, except for a few times. Interference and other matters are all decided by Bai Feng. As for the troops and horses, they are firmly in Bai Feng's hands. The so-called sacrifices and diplomacy are simply unnecessary things in the underworld.
The managers of the three major houses are actually three of the four major houses. In addition to Xuan Zhenshan, Leihou is in charge of the Luxing Mansion, and Mu Xiao is in charge of the Lugong Mansion.
In fact, there are similar government offices at the prefectural level below the road level, but the names are different. The prefecture-level offices are called Fuhusi, Fuxingsi and Fugongsi. In the past, Lin Haoming's Haoming The same is true for the island, but the names are called the upper island household office, upper island punishment office, upper island work office, the same is true for the middle island, and so on for the lower island. It can be said that the hierarchy is clear, but the actual managers are different. From this point we can see It can be seen that the system of the underworld is obviously much stricter and clearer than that of Xuanjing. The ability of the underworld to invade the Xuanjie back then shows that its strength is indeed much stronger than that of the Xuanjie. This is still under the situation that the resources of the underworld are relatively poor. If there is a complete Xuanjie With resources, Xuanjie is probably no match for the underworld.
After returning to the main city, Lin Haoming followed Xin'er's suggestion and went to visit his superiors, especially Shi Zhang, the left envoy, and prepared a generous gift. The others also got to know each other first, and even the right envoy Brown Chen also paid a visit. Once, to show respect.
It costs a lot to meet these superiors, but as the inspector responsible for purchasing, naturally many people from various houses come to visit. These are all left to the three women in the backyard to discuss and deal with, but they can take the gifts they gave out with interest. came back.
Immediately after the end of the annual tribute ceremony, the road meeting also began.
