0532 Gongcao, the county capital
Taichung is an official, and the income naturally cannot be compared with the locality, but in fact, the treatment is also good.
For example, Shen Zhezi, the chief official of Cao, is simply given 400 stones, of course, this part of the money cannot be all grain, and occasionally there are many seasonal specialties for Taiyuan, which will also be discounted into a part of the grain price. These local specialties are also in high demand in Jiankang City, and if they are sold in the market, the income is only much more than the grain.
In addition, every New Year's celebration or any joy and funeral, the pavilion and the government often have gifts. If we add to the fact that the Taiwanese ministers who have been hotly discussed recently are also assigned jobs, then although they will not be rich and expensive all year round, the whole family will have more than enough food and clothing.
Of course, this is only theoretical, in fact, if most of the Taiwan ministers do not have other income, they will often be unable to open the pot if they simply rely on official positions and rewards for Taiwanese capital.
Of course, the high consumption in the capital is on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is because of the work. For example, Chen Liuruan Fu, who had just passed away not long ago, not only served as an important official election position such as Dashangshu, but also served as the head of Gyeonggi such as Danyang Yin, and repeatedly paid 2,000 stones, but he was so poor that he only had one money left in his pocket, and he was afraid that he would be shy, and even exchange gold mink for wine.
The hobbies that Baume & Mercier are keen on, such as wine and san, are extremely expensive luxuries. For example, the Liquan wine produced by the Shen family costs thousands of dollars for one urn in the capital. The price of Wushisan is even higher, even if it is the worst quality, a dose will cost hundreds of yuan, and the higher quality sprinkle gold, snow and frost, etc., are simply priceless, and some people are begging to buy tens of thousands of dollars for a dose.
The poorer you are, the poorer you are.
Of course, even if some people are not good at these, they are not comfortable because there are too many socials. When a colleague marries Tian Ding or is promoted to a knight, it is inevitable that it will mean something, and if it means so, it is often impossible to open the pot at home.
In response to this phenomenon, Shen Zhezi is considering whether to provide some small loans to these Taiwanese ministers who are living in difficulty? Not to mention that there is a lot of money to invest in Dingcang, if Shen Zhezi himself is willing to do it, he can also raise a lot of principal.
Now that Shen Zhezi is in charge of Dongcao, the names and files of the officials in Taiwan are all backed up and preserved in Dongcao, and he is not worried that people will breach the contract and not return it, if he wants to check, even the other party's eight-generation ancestors can find out. Moreover, these ministers each have a fixed income, and if they lend to them, they will be able to draw profits in installments, which is much more reliable than the so-called cloud computing in later generations.
The more Shen Zhezi thought about it, the more he felt that this thing could be done, even if he didn't do it, in fact, there were merchants with deep backgrounds in the capital who were lending money. But after thinking about it, he just squeezed Director Wang so badly, and turned his head to put usury in Taicheng, there are too many tricks, which is inevitably annoying. Although he didn't come to Taiwan because he was loved by everyone, there was no need to make public resentment boil.
"Horses, horses......"
Shen Zhezi was still calculating there, when he heard a low voice from the opposite side, he came back to his senses and said with a smile to the opposite Kong: "I lost my mind a little for a while, brother Shi forgive me." In fact, if the world brother wants to come to see me, he can just go to the office to get together, why come here to be extravagant and wasteful. ”
They are now located in the Accord, a small building on the southwest side of Taicheng, the environment is elegant and interesting, and each desk also displays cheese, lamb belly, barbecue and other very northern-style meals.
This small building is a restaurant in Taicheng, yes, it is a restaurant that is open for business, and it is also an industry operated by Taibao Mansion. Although Taichung has a food supply for Taichen, but also has a fixed quota, during normal office days, Taichen have to stay in Taicheng day and night, if you want to change your taste, or friends to gather and socialize, then you can come here.
Of course, such a thoughtful arrangement is not a benefit, but costs money. Even if Shen Zhezi, his own person, comes over, he will have to pay as much as he wants, and the price is extremely expensive, similar to the specifications in front of him, Shen Zhezi inquired just now, and the price will be several times more expensive than the outside!
Shen Zhezi and the others sat here for a short time, and then they saw several groups of customers who were also officials in the stage coming and going, which showed that business was booming. And Shen Zhezi's reverie about lending money just now was born because of this.
Hearing Shen Zhezi say this, Kong Chao said with a smile: "I have never expressed my intention to enter Taiwan. I am also an elder, so I should be courteous and welcome later. The food here has a mellow northland charm, which is different from our rural charm, and you can taste it occasionally and taste it a little. ”
Shen Zhezi just felt that the price here was inflated, but he didn't taste any northern charm. Not to mention Wuzhong Township, he alone is in the house of Duzhong, which is a combination of north and south, and he can make meals wherever he wants. This kind of pricing is ripping money, and it is much darker than the pricing of some tourist attractions in later generations.
However, there are not a few people who have a similar mentality, and most of the people who enter and leave this restaurant are southerners, probably thinking of tasting the northland style.
Nowadays, Jiangdong's weakness in culture is reflected in all aspects, not only in terms of rules and etiquette or poetry and writing, but also in terms of craftsmanship, technology and even food.
The "Shishuo Xinyu" seen in later generations includes a lot of gossip and wild history, recording that many southerners went to the Central Plains, and then they were asked, are you like this in Wuzhong? Is there that? The mentality of that tone clearly still regards Jiangdong as an uncivilized barbarian land. And it is not only concentrated in this era, even in the Southern Dynasties, the culture has been surpassed, and the southerners still have to face such difficulties when they go north.
After thinking about it for a long time, Shen Zhezi still felt that the business of lending could not be suspended, and at most he would find two agents to come forward. Why can the Taibao open a restaurant, and the horses are not allowed to make money! Although the Taibao restaurant also subsidized the use of Taiwanese funds, but the usury of the horses was also for the Northern Expedition! Besides, with the loan and living money, maybe the business of this restaurant can be better!
Compared with Shen Zhezi's relaxed mood, and even having the leisure to calculate how to make profits, Kong Chao is a little nervous or weak-minded.
He warmly greeted Shen Zhezi for eating, and felt that the foreshadowing had reached a certain level, so he smiled dryly: "A person who is very good at a horse does extraordinary things, and as soon as Fang enters the stage, he will immediately let the wind move in Taichung." At present, the Taiwan assistants are arguing endlessly about whether Wang Sanqi should be left to the Huiji. ”
Shen Zhezi smiled when he heard this, and said, "I am also thinking about my job and doing what I should do. Since Brother Shi said this, I don't know if you think Wang Sanqi is a good choice to learn about internal history? ”
After hearing this, Kong Ban smiled a little embarrassed, waved his hand and said: "I was elected by SARS, and I am not elected by the government, how can I put my beak in this kind of thing." ”
In fact, seeing the change in Kong Ming's demeanor, Shen Zhezi could probably guess why he came to see him today, and after hearing this, he said: "Taiwan uses 2,000 stones, which is a public and state affair, and everyone in the country can talk about it." Moreover, Huiji is the hometown of the world. To tell the truth, if it weren't for the role of pawn, how would I dare to recommend any good shepherd for the villagers. At the moment, it is also gossip in the court, but I would like to ask what my brother thinks of my recommendation? ”
"In that case, I'll dare to say it."
When Kong Ban heard this, he couldn't hold it back, so he said: "If people look at everything, Wang Sanqi is naturally the natural choice. Moreover, if you have been idle for a long time, you will be waiting to be selected, and it is also appropriate to be compatible with each other. I'm just surprised that the horses recommend free riding, which can be described as the legacy of ancient sages. ”
Shen Zhezi just smiled after hearing this, and didn't say much, if he was still suspicious before, now that he heard Kong Chao say this, he can already determine the other party's intention.
Sure enough, not long after, Kong Chao said again: "This time I came to see the horse, in fact, there is a matter that is difficult to decide, and I want to ask for advice." A few days ago, Wang Sanshu rode to the house, wanting to make me his credit. I haven't been back to my hometown for a long time, and if I can return to my hometown, I can comfort my homesick thirst. However, it is still uncertain whether the free rider will be in office, and I don't know how he will govern after entering the county, so I really can't make a decision in my heart, I don't know if the horse can teach me? ”
Although Shen Zhezi had already guessed that Wang Bin should recruit a few Huiji families in the capital as subordinate officials to open up the situation of Huiji. But when he heard that Kong Chao was actually dismissed, Shen Zhezi couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Originally, the internal history of the meeting was configured as a type of assassination history, and in addition to the long history, there were eight major subordinates as the main subordinate officials. But now because of the existence of Dongyangzhou, Huiji has been downgraded to an ordinary inner county, and there is a county as a deputy under the internal history, and Gong Cao is the second subordinate official after the county Cheng, in charge of the appointment and promotion of county officials.
Wang Bin knows how to win over Huiji Qingwang people, which Shen Zhezi is not surprised, after all, he has been through ups and downs for a long time, if he doesn't even have this political wisdom, it is in vain. However, even the personnel rights are willing to be shared with the auditors, so it can be seen that his determination to seek foreign appointments is great, and he must make achievements.
Kong Chao looked at Shen Zhezi with a worried expression. Although he is not attached to the Shen family, he can be valued in Taichung, and he is also the old honor who followed Shen Zhezi many years ago, and he can be regarded as half of Shen Zhezi's former official.
Wang Bin went to the meeting, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that it was going to be unfavorable to the Shen family, and if he still served as Wang Bin's subordinate in this situation, he would inevitably be suspected of being abused. However, being a big county gong cao is also a great progress for him, with such a resume, he is responsible for both internal and external duties, and he can be used as a candidate for two thousand stones in the future. It would be a shame to miss this opportunity.
"Wang San rode here to Huiji, he should have great ambitions. It's just that there are people in the township, and if they are placed, it is not beautiful. I thought that if I could follow along, and if necessary, I would be able to avoid a lot of unnecessary conflicts. ”
When Kong Chao said this, he couldn't help but feel a little weak in his heart.
Shen Zhezi lowered his eyes for a moment, raised his head and looked at Kong Chao with burning eyes, and said, "Since Wang Sanqi wants to seek a big county, why do you look down on the villagers so much?" The talent of the world's brother, I know that the county is more than enough, how can I stop the merit! ”
