When Cao Liu came out of Jiang Fan''s room, the whole person was completely filled with anger.


    Because Jiang fan is too wide and unreasonable.


    How can the rules formed all the time be abolished directly within two days of taking office?


    Yes, the salaries paid by the imperial court to officials are extremely excellent. Even the lowest yamen servants and clerks are actually quite well paid, which can definitely be called a high-income group.


    But no one will dislike money!


    Unless it reaches a certain height, fame is more important than money. In addition, in the salary system of the imperial court of the great Zhou Dynasty, the higher the official position, the more exaggerated the salary standard.


    Then we can completely reject the occurrence of corruption.


    But at least at Cao Liu''s level, he is very satisfied and happy to have a stable additional income relatively safely.


    Where is the annual salary of 2000? Haven''t you seen a good house in Heyang city? It''s much higher than this number!


    As for the Yamen at the bottom, they naturally have no resistance to this additional income.


    Therefore, Jiang Fan''s just decision made Cao Liu angry and felt that Jiang Fan was arrogantly cutting off everyone''s money.


    Such acts, of course, belong to the category of unreasonable.


    At least for Cao Liu.


    After thinking about it, Cao Liuzi decided to go to the city guard Gu Yan to report the matter.


    In any case, you can''t let Jiang Fan fool around here, can you?


    When Cao Liu came to Gu Yan''s office, Gu Yan was having a tea break. Recently, there are many things in Heyang city. In addition, there are always dark instructions from Jinling, the capital, so that Gu Yan''s mood is quite anxious.


    Because of the progress of some things, he felt that some situations were getting out of control.


    This is not what he wants to see.


    As Cao Liu came in, Gu Yan just glanced at him and said, "Cao Dianli, Xincheng captain has arrived. Don''t always run to me. You should directly ask the same city captain for instructions on anything you do."


    "Sir, I just came out from the city captain. I didn''t break the rules. It''s really that our city captain is young and does things too absurd. If you don''t guard him, I''m afraid you''ll cause great disaster immediately!"


    Cao kept a bitter face and stated the matter in detail.


    Then he looked forward to Gu Yan.


    After all, Gu Yan also made 20% of that income.


    Despite Gu Yan''s status, I''m afraid he has a dispensable attitude towards those 20% of the income.


    But in officialdom, it''s not good to be a fellow official. It''s too independent, isn''t it?


    In Cao Liu''s view, Gu Yan will certainly be very dissatisfied with Jiang Fan''s mess. At that time, the two leaders will confront each other. After all, Cheng Wei is only the second person and will eventually compromise.


    However, Gu Yan''s reaction was greatly beyond Cao Liu''s expectation!


    With an expressionless face, Gu Yan didn''t seem to have any emotional fluctuations.


    He continued to drink tea. After pondering for a while, he said: "well, during this period, the Yamen servants have really become more and more lazy. They are completely indifferent to what they should do, resulting in the deterioration of public security in the city. It is a good thing that Cheng Wei should correct this."


    Ah? good deed?


    Cao Liu stared at Gu Yan, completely unable to understand why Gu Yan would speak for Jiang Fan.


    Gu Yan frowned and said in a deep voice, "Cao Dianli, the public security in Heyang is getting worse and worse. This is your dereliction of duty. I don''t object to the Yamen''s playing some autumn wind and reaping some benefits. But the premise is that the Yamen''s daily street patrol should be properly handled!"


    "But what''s the actual situation? You know better than my city guard. You can''t do your job well. What''s the qualification to ask for those additional benefits? At least in this matter, I''m on the side of Cheng Wei!"


    "All right, you go down. I still have a lot of things to deal with. Think about what your responsibilities are. Don''t come to me all day crying about what it looks like!"


    Being reprimanded by Gu Yantong makes Cao Liu a little suspicious of his life.


    What''s the matter? Are you two together?


    While watching Cao Liu leave his room, Gu Yan stood up and paced back and forth in the room with his hands on his back.


    The expression on his face was still calm, but his mind kept turning all kinds of thoughts.


    Cao Liu and Zhou Tingyu are different. They are not his people. It''s just that Cao Liu was closer to him when there was no city captain before.


    Heyang city has a very special position among all the cities in the Zhou Dynasty.


    Basically, it can be said that in a separate city, the importance is second only to the capital Jinling.


    Many people even regard Heyang city as a companion capital!


    This particularity is not only reflected in the name, but also in the official structure inside the city.


    Except that the rank of city guard and city captain is one level higher than that of other city officials, the other officials at all levels are actually one level higher than that of other city officials.


    At the same time, the internal structure of Yamen is also more huge. The number of officials, clerks and yamen servants is much more than that of ordinary cities.


    Of course, there are many factions in such a special government. Even if Gu Yan is the head of a city, it is impossible to cover up the sky with one hand.


    Almost all kinds of factions have spokesmen in Heyang city government.


    In most cases, these people will follow Gu Yan''s lead and gather around Gu Yan to jointly maintain the overall interest demands.


    But once there is a conflict of interests, the people who are touched by the interests will immediately stand on the opposite of Gu Yan.


    So Gu Yan has been thinking about how to improve his control in the government as much as possible.


    Cao Liu suddenly came to complain, but Gu Yan suddenly had a certain idea.


    "Maybe you can use Jiang Fan''s hand to deal with some people? Although there will certainly be a counterattack from the factions behind those people, as long as it is Jiang Fan''s hand, it has nothing to do with me. After all... Jiang fan is from King Wu''s residence. Even if I can''t do anything about it, the factions behind those people have nothing to say."


    Gu Yan stopped and muttered.


    The more you say, the clearer the idea in your mind is, so that in the end, Gu Yan''s eyes brighten up!


    "If you even give guidance, it may make people of other factions unbearable to Jiang Fan. If people of other factions try to get rid of Jiang Fan, wouldn''t it kill two birds with one stone? What I''m worried about has been solved?"


    Gu Yan clenched his fist and whispered to himself: "Comparatively speaking, it''s enough for me to show that I''m afraid of interfering with Jiang Fan because I''m afraid of King Wu''s residence! Of course, the premise is that Jiang Fan... Really dares to break the rules regardless! At least now, there''s great hope! Young people''s blood and innocence... It''s always so pleasant..."
