Bao Zheng went to the thatched house, and on the way back, he reviewed it, and felt that his previous attitude was a bit excessive, and it was better to ease up.

He walked outside the duty room and found that it was quiet inside, and the fire that had been suppressed rose again.

Is this collective laziness?

He went in angrily, and when he saw that everyone was looking at Su Yan in a daze, he shouted, "What do you see him doing?" Ugly! Talking, how many? ”

The deputy envoy of the third division shook his head at him, and said bitterly: "Xianggong, three million and six hundred and seventy thousand ......."

He was bitter because he was ashamed. As the deputy envoy of the Third Division, he didn't know how big the hole was this year, but Su Yan was a hairy boy who knew it well.

But this is no wonder to others, the Great Song Dynasty finances collapsed in the Zhenzong period. The emperor was okay at first, but later on, it was as if he had changed people, and used the money in the treasury as a splash.

So from then on, everyone who was in charge of money had to compete with the emperor.

It's been like this for decades, everyone is tired, and the end of each year is a dark day, and no one wants to ask how big the hole is, because there is no way to make up for it.

But Bao Zheng is different, as soon as he came to the third division, he drastically cleaned up the redundant officials, followed by various reforms, and it became common for the emperor to ask for money to be refused, and the third division can be regarded as a new look.

It's just that everyone is used to asking how big the hole is, anyway, it will naturally appear at the end of the year, so today it was sprayed by the old bag.

Su Yan!

Everyone looked at Su Yan.

Bao Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then said a little uncomfortably: "Didn't you miscalculate? ”

There is no need for him to be jealous, not to mention that Su Yan is young and scummy, and when he can threaten Bao Zheng, Lao Bao will probably be immortal a long time ago.

The deputy envoy of the third division smiled bitterly: "Xianggong, the lower officials are staring at it." ”

If he makes another mistake, he, the deputy envoy, will have no face to do it.

Bao Zheng took the piece of paper, looked left and right, and then looked up, staring at Su Yan expressionlessly.

The room was quiet, and Su Yan, who was being stared at by everyone, was very nervous.

"Su Yan ......"

"The lower official is here."

Su Yan shuddered and quickly straightened up.

A smile appeared on Bao Zheng's face and asked, "Have you counted every day?" ”

Su Yan shook his head: "Xia Guan is busy every day, so he didn't specifically count it." ”

Bao Zheng was puzzled and said: "Then how do you know how much you have lost?" ”

The deficit is not easy to calculate, first of all, the income is continuous, and then the expenditure......

The most troublesome thing is the expenditure, the Great Song Dynasty is so big, the expenditure items are scattered and trivial, there are a bunch here, a lump there, which makes people crazy.

Normally, this work starts near the end of the year, but this year, Bao Zheng advanced it and caught everyone off guard.

And just when everyone was sprayed with shame, Su Yan stood up and used an accurate number to make Bao Zheng's criticism go in vain.

"Xiaguan is by your side......"

Su Yan has been doing chores by Bao Zheng's side from the beginning, and it seems that his official position is not high, but he can get in touch with many deep-seated data and problems, which is very crucial to his future career.

"The lower officials summarize the income and expenditure ...... every day"

This is not Su Yan's job, but he took the initiative to do it.

Later, the lower officials saw the deficit and the occasional surplus, so they calculated those income and expenditures once a month...... I wanted to give it to you at the time, but the lower officials were afraid that you would get angry when you saw it......"

As the third envoy, he will definitely get angry when he sees the deficit, and then he will be anxious.

Su Yan was a little stunned, so he kept holding back.

Bao Zheng walked over and reached out to pat him on the shoulder, Su Yan subconsciously dodged, making Lao Bao's hand fall short.

This one......

Everyone was covered with black lines.

Are you afraid that Bao Zheng is afraid to this extent?

Su Yan also noticed that something was wrong, so he walked back with a red face, as if to say, 'You pat again'.

Bao Zheng said with a straight face: "It's good to do things." ”

This is a rare compliment, everyone's eyes are shining, and envy, jealousy and hatred are spreading.

Bao Zheng finally patted Su Yan on the shoulder, and then went out.

"Oh!"

He had only gone out on his front feet, and the house was filled with joy.

"Su Yan, you're out of the woods today, and you want to have a treat!"

"Yes, Bao Xiang doesn't like to praise people, you got praise today, and tomorrow you will soar, remember that we have been together ......"

"Treat, go to Fanlou!"

"Hahahaha!"

"Fan Lou can eat Su Yan poor."

"Then ...... Then eat potstickers, ten per person. ”

"Okay, potstickers. Returning home under the sunset, eating hot while walking. ”

"Gone."

“……”

Bao Zheng flashed to the side, watching a group of young officials huddle Su Yan out, happily going to eat big households.

"Xianggong, we're getting old!"

The deputy envoy walked over and said with some embarrassment: "Looking at them, I remembered when I was young, but unfortunately I never returned." ”

Bao Zheng's eyes were also a little dazed, and then returned to normal.

"They're going through what we've been through, but ...... They're good, better than we were back then. ”

Su Yan ...... Xianggong, after all, you have been wronged by doing chores around you, what do you think? ”

Bao Zheng said: "He is still young, and he is even a little shy, he can't go out with such a temperament, so he still grinds again." ”

The deputy envoy smiled: "You have access to many secrets around you, and your temperament is ...... can sharpen people, Su Yan has been by your side for a long time, and everyone else is red-eyed, and they all feel that it is time to change people. ”

Bao Zheng smiled and said: "The old man's temper is not good, and ordinary people dare not come out, Su Yan is silent, but his words and deeds are extremely appropriate...... Let's leave it at that. ”

The third envoy, this position is more proud than the household department of Shangshu in later generations, but it is actually Zaifu.

Being able to work by Zaisuke's side is in itself a qualification and an important learning opportunity.

The old man kept watching him secretly, but he couldn't see ...... As soon as he said this today, the old man found out that this person was silent...... I have figured out a lot of things in the three divisions......"

"Xianggong, this is a person with a heart!"

"There is heart, but more is hardworking. He was born as a coolie, and when he got the opportunity, he worked hard day and night......"

"Those people envy him and always say that he is lucky......"

Bao Zheng looked at the sunset and suddenly smiled: "The old man has felt that he is lucky since he can remember, and his father and mother love him...... When my father and mother went, I found out that luck was actually fake. Something more powerful than luck is ability. You have a lot of skills, no matter how bad your luck is, it can't wear you ......"

The deputy envoy nodded: "Yes, luck is ability." While others were playing, Su Yan was doing things. When others were lazy, Su Yan was doing things...... Drop stone wears. ”

The two were silent for a moment, and the deputy envoy said, "Xianggong, I heard that Uncle Guo's family is going to marry Su Yan?" ”

Bao Zheng shook his head and said: "Su Yan is not worthy of being married to his uncle's family, this matter is still on Shen An's side." Uncle Guo has suffered for many years, and once he was loosened, he suffered from gains and losses, and he was worried that there would be endless troubles, so he wanted to find an ally to rest assured. But his family is a relative, he didn't dare to contact the important ministers, and the generals didn't dare to do it, and in the end, Shen An, who couldn't get up, was the most suitable, so he cheapened Su Yan. ”

He said this very calmly, and he was not worried about Shen An being reported at all.

The deputy envoy smiled: "Xianggong, is this luck or ability?" ”

used to say that luck is ability, but now the deputy envoy used Su Yan's marriage to ask Bao Zheng.

This is a bit of a spear of the son attacking the shield of the son.

"It's still a skill."

Bao Zheng said lightly: "Su Yan is hardworking and down-to-earth, if it weren't for this, how could Shen An look down on him?" He didn't look down on Su Yan, how could the Cao family take a fancy to Su Yan? Do you want to know if it's a skill? ”

"Xianggong Gao, this is indeed a skill."

……

Su Yan went home against the sunset, and after entering the alley, those neighbors were laughing when they saw him.

"Su Yan, where is your daughter-in-law?"

"Su Yan, there is a distant niece here, your father said okay, let's meet one day."

"Su Yan, your family affair has dragged on for so long, do you want to marry the daughter of a high-ranking official? But they don't like you! ”

“……”

In Shen An's eyes, Su Yan is still young, but in this era, many men of his age have children.

Su Yan returned home with a smile, Su Yi had already prepared a meal and was waiting for him.

There was no meat for today's dinner, and Su Yi saw that his son was eating less, so he asked with concern: "But don't you like to eat without meat?" The Father will go and buy meat tomorrow. ”

He was still used to working as a coolie, and he was always reluctant to spend money, so the Su family's food became dull.

But the young man likes to eat meat and oil and water, so Su Yi feels that he has treated his son badly.

"Or ...... Tomorrow as a father, let's go to the docks. ”

Su Yi felt that it was embarrassing to let his son support the family, and he was bored at home, so he happened to go to the dock to get together with those old friends.

"Daddy, I invited my colleagues to eat potstickers earlier, and I was full."

"Oh! Got a treat? Well, if you want to get closer to your colleagues, the best thing is to have a treat. ”

Su Yi was relieved, so he muttered about the trivial matters of the neighbors until it was completely dark.

After washing, Su Yi came out and saw his son in a daze in the yard.

"It's cold at night, hurry back."

Su Yan turned around and said, "Daddy, you are idle." ”

"Ugh!"

"The edict says that people must have something to do, and only when they have something to do will they come to this world in vain. To have nothing to do is to waste your life...... You want to go to the pier, right? ”

Su Yi lowered his head, feeling that he was causing trouble for his son.

He clasped his hands together and said, "My father's bones are sore." ”

Su Yan smiled: "Daddy, if you want to go back to the dock, go back, but you can't work so hard anymore, you have to be idle." ”

Su Yi raised his head and hesitated: "It's going to be embarrassing." They say that my son is an official, but his father is carrying a bag at the dock, which will embarrass you. ”

He lived to this extent, and all his spirit was pinned on his son, so he refused to trouble him at all.

Su Yan said, "Daddy, you just have to go...... It's a shame to be bored at home. I'll take my sister to help people work. ”

"Won't you...... But he is a big official, how can he work for others? ”

Su Yan said seriously: "Daddy, the child feels ...... To do things is to do things, and it has nothing to do with being a person. Even if the emperor is pretending, he will go to the field and cultivate it...... There's no shame in that. ”

Early the next morning, Su Yi sent off his son and prepared to go to the dock.

"But Su Gong?"

Su Gong?

Su Yi was locking the door, and when he heard the sound, he turned around, but it was a well-dressed man.

The man arched his hand and said, "I've seen Su Gong." ”

Su Yi had never been called like this, he rubbed his hands and said embarrassedly: "Villain...... The villain didn't dare. ”

The neighbors all started to go out to work, and when they saw this, they all gathered around.

Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, this is the kind of time that is said.

If this man bullied Su Yi, everyone would definitely help.
