"In the East Harbor District, Your Excellency can earn some hard-earned money from these places. However, Your Excellency also knows that there are many nobles in Shang Jing City. Those nobles' families also have various businesses, especially in the docks, harbors, ships, warehouses, insurance companies, wine shops, and guilds. These nobles' money can't be earned because they have their own connections. For the sake of your own future, Your Excellency has to take care of them. If these nobles' businesses encounter any trouble, Your Excellency will need your help to settle it. Of course, the shopkeepers who make money for these nobles are also shrewd people. They won't take the initiative to find trouble for Your Excellency. Usually, they also have some manners and get along well with each other!"
Situ Hua honestly explained what kind of money could be earned and what kind of money could not be earned.
Xia Pingan nodded as he roughly understood, "What are the businesses run by those nobles in Shangjing City?"
"There's Dachang, Shangxing Association, Deshun Long, Pingyun Merchant Group, Shangjing Insurance Company, Quzhang Wharf, Wharf No. 7 to No. 21 in the Donggang District, Shunyi Wine House, Baixiang Wine House, An Word Warehouse, Sihai Boat Society …" Situ Hua listed 70 to 80 names in one breath as if he was familiar with his family treasures. "If anything happens to these businesses, Your Excellency, you can either pretend not to see it or find someone to remind them. Don't make a big fuss!"
"Okay, I see!" Xia Pingan nodded and smiled, "What about the salaries of the other people in the Inspection Department?" "The Inspection Department has two sources of income.
"The regular income of the Inspection Department is divided into two parts. One part is the allocation from the Judgment Army, which is about 17,000 gold coins per year. This money is used to maintain the daily expenses of the Inspection Department and everyone's salary. For me, the monthly salary of the Inspection Department is 59 gold coins. A summoner of the One Sun Realm gets 39 gold coins. Sir, you get 89 gold coins. The salary of the other people in the Inspection Department is not much compared to us, but it's considered a high income among the ordinary people in Shangjing City. It's not bad. Other than this fixed salary, everyone's other income comes from the bonuses for handling cases!"
"Haha, I didn't expect the summoners in this world to be superstitious. I wonder if the superstitious habits of the summoners on Earth came from this world." Xia Pingan thought to himself.
"Oh, how do we get the bonuses?"
"It's very simple. For example, Your Excellency found a group of cultists who threatened Shangjing City in the Donggang District. After those cultists were eliminated, they would naturally leave some properties that could be seized. Cultists couldn't run around naked in Shangjing City, right? For example, some ship warehouses trafficked and stored contraband goods. We can also check them. 20% of the assets of the cultists, contraband goods that we seized and fines will be returned to the Inspection Department. Your Excellency has the right to decide how to distribute the money. of the cultists in the Inspection Department. Generally, Your Excellency will own 30% of the profits and 70% of the rest.. Of course, if something's, Your Excellency, or any risks, you, or risks, you, you, you Excellency, Your Excellency.
"How much is this bonus?"
Situ Hua smiled slyly and said, "Sometimes it's high, sometimes it's low. It depends on Your Excellency's ability and our luck. For example, when we investigated the Blood Demon Sect a few days ago, those remnants of the Blood Demon Sect had a lot of properties and properties in Shangjing City. Some of them were extremely rich and didn't face much danger. The Inspection Department that was assigned to this task made a fortune.
That's luck! "Xia Pingan smiled slightly." What luck? I'm the one who paid dividends to the Judgment Army. Now that you mention it, it's indeed luck. By the way, what are you most afraid of when you work in the Inspection Department? "
"The people working in the Inspection Department in Shangjing City are most afraid of encountering those inspectors who don't care about the lives of their subordinates and would push their subordinates out to take the blame. Your Excellency, believe it. There are many inspectors like that in Shangjing City. Whoever meets them will be unlucky!" Situ Hua sighed and said, "It's not easy to establish a foothold in Shangjing City. Situ Hua let out a sigh as he said, "Prices in Shang Jing City are very high. It's not easy to establish a foothold in Shang Jing City. Even our Judgement Army has limited cultivation resources. If we want to buy Realm Beads and Spiritual Sense Crystals, we need to spend a lot of money. Based on our fixed salary, we can only afford one or two Realm Beads at most. If we want to start a family or get married outside, we will need to spend more money. Nobody dislikes the inspectors who can give us more bonuses, what do you think, Your Excellency?"
Hehe, Situ Hua was "admonishing" me in a roundabout way. Xia Pingan faintly smiled, "Fine, I've got it. Go inform those directors of Lixing in Donggang District and Carriage and Horse Company that are under my care to come to the Supervision Department for tea this afternoon. I'll have a chat with them!"
"Yes, Your Excellency!" Situ Hua hurriedly nodded. "No, you can go now!"
"Okay, I'll go!" Situ Hua nodded as he stood up from his seat. After retreating a few steps, he turned around, opened the door of the office and walked out.
The moment Situ Hua walked out, Wei Meiyu walked in.
Wei Meiyu lowered her gaze and blushed slightly. She was a little reserved and didn't even dare to look at Xia Pingan's face. Until now, Wei Meiyu still felt that everything that had happened today was like a dream. She found it hard to believe that Xia Pingan, who had saved her, was actually a "high-ranking" envoy inspector.
Of course, as a woman, it was inevitable for Wei Meiyu to have some special thoughts when she saw that Xia Pingan had asked her to be his secretary the moment she arrived. For a woman, the position of secretary was actually a very ambiguous position in the face of a man with a high position and power. The weird looks of those people in the Inspection Department just now were enough to explain everything.
"Your Excellency, the head chef asked me to ask if you want to arrange a welcome banquet for your Excellency in the Inspection Department today. Also, do you have any dietary restrictions?" Wei Meiyu asked in a low voice.
"Well, tell the head chef that there's no need for a welcome banquet. Everything will go on as usual. Also, I don't eat onion, garlic, chives, coriander and coriander …" Onion, garlic, chives, and coriander were the "five meat" in the usual sense. Since he came into contact with some cultivation methods in his previous life, Xia Pingan did not eat these things. "Meat" made one dizzy. Although the summoners in this world did not abstain from food, Xia Pingan's eating habits remained.
"Well, okay!" Wei Meiyu said as she was about to leave.
"Wait a minute …" Xia Pingan stopped her.
Wei Meiyu's body stiffened at once, and her cheeks became hotter. "Your Excellency, is there anything else?"
"Don't stand there, sit down and talk …"
Sitting in front of Xia Pingan, Wei Meiyu closed her legs tightly, put her hands on her knees, and grabbed the fingers of her left hand with her right hand. She was a bit nervous and tangled, afraid that Xia Pingan would suddenly come over and do something.
"Haha, don't be nervous. I forgot to ask you. Weren't you in the library before? Why did you come to the Inspection Department?"
Hearing that Xia Pingan didn't ask any strange questions and didn't come over, Wei Meiyu relaxed a bit and smiled. "First, the treatment in the Inspection Department is better than that in the library. After entering the Inspection Department, I can enjoy the official establishment of the Shang Nation's official civil servant. Second … second, when I was in the library, the son of a deputy director of the library always harassed me and wanted me to be his girlfriend. Therefore, I decided to leave the library and participate in the recruitment examination of the Shang Nation's civil servant. That's how I got here!"
"Oh, are you still living in that apartment? If you're still living there, it's quite far from here to work, isn't it?"
"I've moved to an apartment in the Donggang District. It's not far from here. Every day, I can get there by taking the trolley bus …"
"Are you used to working here?"
"Yes, it's pretty good. Sister Qin and the others take good care of me!"
After chatting with Wei Meiyu for a while, Xia Pingan let Wei Meiyu leave.
After walking out of Xia Pingan's office, Wei Meiyu let out a long sigh of relief. She found that her fingers were full of sweat. However, for some reason, she felt a bit disappointed.
After Wei Meiyu left, Xia Pingan didn't stay idle. He directly left the office and walked around the entire Inspection Department. He looked around the office of each team, the document room, the warehouse, the evidence room, the finance room, the equipment warehouse, the dining room, etc. Finally, Xia Pingan came to the underground prison of the Inspection Department.
The underground prison of the Inspection Department was a bit like the detention center of a police station. It was located on the first and second basement floor of the Inspection Department. It wasn't an official prison cell. It was only used to temporarily imprison people who were arrested for various reasons.
Of course, although it was "temporary", the Inspection Department could still imprison you for three to five years.
There were five internal guards of the Inspection Department guarding the underground prison of the Inspection Department. It was a perfect team. These internal guards were all strong people who knew a bit of martial arts. They weren't summoners and their daily jobs were very simple.
Seeing the newly appointed inspector arrive at the entrance of the underground prison, the captain of the internal guard team, Qi Dafeng, was shocked. He hurriedly brought a few internal guards to tidy up their clothes and ran out of the duty room. They stood at attention and saluted Xia Pingan.
"My … My Lord, why are you here?!" Qi Dafeng stammered nervously.
Qi Dafeng was in his fifties. He was tanned and strong. One look and you could tell he was a very dutiful person. He had also been an internal guard of the Inspection Department for more than ten years.
"Mm, I just came down to take a look …" Xia Pingan smiled. The prison of the Inspection Department was much cleaner than he had imagined. Looking down from the entrance, the underground prison didn't feel dirty at all. There wasn't a speck of dust on the stone floor of the underground prison. The ventilation was smooth and the gas lamps on both sides of the corridor were lit. It looked very clean. "Your management here is good. It's better than I thought …"
After receiving Xia Pingan's praise, Qi Dafeng wasn't so nervous. He was a bit happy. "The prison of the Inspection Department doesn't imprison many people. The serious criminals have all been transferred away. There are only about ten people locked up now, so it's not that messy!"
"Let's go. Accompany me to take a look …"
"Yes!" Qi Dafeng pulled himself together. He took the key and opened the prison door. He brought Xia Pingan to patrol the underground prison.
