Chapter 15: The Acceptance of the Books Begins

The days passed, and soon it was March 20, that is, the day when Chen Gaowen accepted the account books after 10 days.

Qin Xia rushed to the office early in the morning, and before everyone arrived, he picked up a broom and swept the floor clean, took out the garbage, added hot water and tea, and then took out today's new paper and a few broken abacus from the secretary hall.

After doing this, when Zhaoma Xie Yi, who also rushed to the official room very early every day, entered the official room, Qin Xia began to settle the accounts without saying a word.

At first, some people joked that their colleagues in the ministry had been much more diligent in recent days, but after a few days, they realized that this was obviously Qin Xia's credit.

At this moment, those who were laughing stopped talking, and sighed when they secretly saw Qin Xia, and the days passed so dullly and nervously.

And today is the last day of this boring day.

The officials who hurried and hurried were generally done with the account books, and Chen Gaowen was quite satisfied with this when he came, nodding his head, and finally with a rare smile on his face.

It's just that when he got to Qin Xia's side, this little smile dissipated.

The atmosphere in the venue suddenly became stuffy again, and after Chen Gaowen left, someone dared to speak. Looking at Qin Xia, who was still writing hard and his abacus was clicking, someone sighed: "It's a pity that a person who is willing to do things." ”

When Wang Rui heard this, the boss in his heart was not happy, and said coldly: "The person with the big turban, what is a pity." If you don't understand the rules like this, you should make an example. Today, I will bet another hundred taels of silver, and he will lose! Look at how he gets boarded tomorrow! ”

Lin Guzhong looked at Qin Xia's unlucky appearance and felt quite happy, and said: "In total, only ten taels of silver can win for you, what is the meager bet, and you still raise?" ”

Wang Rui smiled when he heard this: "Your news is all the old yellow calendar, I went to inquire today, and the day before yesterday, someone actually took out a hundred taels of silver to bet that Qin Xia would not be punished tomorrow." This raise came, and the blockage immediately rose. Since someone gave me an extra hundred taels of silver to earn, then what am I afraid of? There is a saying called what. Heaven or not...... What anti-......"

"If you don't take it, you will be blamed!" Lin Gu also felt excited after hearing this: "Okay, I'll also bet two hundred taels today!" ”

"Haha, when I think of Qin Xia's twenty hard-hitting boards, I'm happy!" Wang Rui said angrily, and several other people shook their heads when they heard it.

These indigenous officials of the Beijing faction were indeed slapped in the face by Qin Xia, if they didn't clean up Qin Xia well, the officials of the Beijing faction, who were already in decline in the household department, were afraid that they would decline even more.

Of course, the people of the Beijing faction are not good birds. These people have always been strict when they go out of the household department, whether it is the Yin of the Beijing County Government or the Yamen of the Ministry of Departments. This time, I wanted to use Qin Xia to lift the lid to deal with Chen Gaowen, and when something happened at that time, would I really protect Qin Xia?

Xie Yi glanced at Qin Xia, he didn't quite understand. This Qin Xia is by no means a mediocre person! In this case, why did Qin Xia's reaction become more bland as the deadline came, as if he was just desperately calculating like an old scalper? There was no movement.

And...... In the past few days, the main thing has been urging to become tighter, which is really a bit abnormal. If Qin Xia is a civil official, how can Yu Zhu persecute instead?

On March 21, in front of the Yunnan Division of the Ministry of Households.

The two officials of the secretary hall arrived early in the morning, and Chen Gaowen looked at this scene and snorted coldly. He knew that this was a ghost by the people of the Jing faction under him, and he wanted to see Qin Xia being beaten up.

It's just that Chen Gaowen didn't take such an offense in his eyes, which can be regarded as the same end. He also has to order some work today to collect the progress of the task, if he doesn't complete it, he will naturally have to find these officials to come out and play the board.

The time soon arrived, and a bunch of people stood in front of the Yunnan Division.

A large group of Teruma who spoke Zhejiang dialect talked to each other and said hello, and the accountants around them each held a bunch of account books. These are all completed, and they are about to be handed over to Chen Gaowen to collect the account books of the progress.

In general, the household department of the Ming Dynasty is actually very much like an accounting department, although the reputation is like that of the Ministry of Finance in later generations. However, the household department itself has no decision-making power, and can only rely on the personal authority and prestige of the household department Shangshu to extract a little decision-making power from the emperor. Therefore, accounting is the biggest job of the household department.

Nearly thirty officials each moved out their account books, and the group with the most neat movements and relaxed expressions was Xie Yi's group. This is Chen Gaowen's cadre, who is in charge of the most important military warehouse.

The accountants, under the leadership of their respective Teruma, placed the account books on the ground and laid them out, and then lined up one by one, casual and relaxed.

Hurry up and hurry up to catch up with the potential to catch up with the task, and the leisure at this time is extraordinarily comfortable.

Lin Guzhong and Wang Rui also easily packed up their account books, but the two were obviously a little distracted. Looking around, it was obvious that they were looking for someone.

"Where did Qin Xia go?"

"I even called the people from the Department of Affairs early in the morning, this guy shouldn't run away, and I have to bother to go to the Criminal Department."

"Haha, if the sea fishing paperwork is down, wouldn't it be easier to look at it?"

……

Under the frolic of the two, Qin Xia silently pushed a wheelbarrow from the secretary hall.

A cadre of people parted ways one after another, and under the eyes of everyone, they all carried sympathy.

Lin Guzhong and Wang Rui were even more unscrupulous in their smiles.

But then, Qin Xia's next actions were a little uncertain.

I saw Qin Xia put a pile of account books on the wheelbarrow and returned to the queue.

Lin Guzhong and Wang Rui glanced at each other, wanting to say something, but they didn't dare to speak under Chen Gaowen's sharp gaze.

Chen Gaowen began to check the progress of the school.

"Xie Yi, how many of the military account books in the five military camps can be reviewed?" Chen Gaowen asked at the beginning.

Xie Yi, who was thin and had a long beard and a somewhat elegant demeanor, said with a proud expression: "Back to Guan Gou, all the Chinese troops in the five military camps have been reviewed, and the one hundred and seventy-six account books have been set into another book. ”

Chen Gaowen nodded, with a look of approval, and continued: "Kong Tian, how much has Jingying Dong'anmen Warehouse reviewed? ”

Kong Tian, a short and thin old official who often had a philistine smile on his face, came out and said: "Back to the Guan Gou, all the Dong'an Gate Warehouses have been reviewed, and one hundred and forty-nine copies of the account books have been set into another book. ”

Chen Gaowen nodded and continued: "Original, how much has the Jingying Left Outpost Warehouse reviewed?" ”

A chubby, rather mellow old official squinted his eyes and said with a bitter face: "Back to Guan Gou, one hundred and fifty-three of the one hundred and fifty-seven account books in Xi'an Mencang have been reviewed and ordered, and the others are ...... Not yet, it's not over yet. ”

"All the ministers under your jurisdiction have sent down eight boards as a sign of punishment." Chen Gaowen's face was expressionless.

"Lin Gu is heavy, how much is the right post of the fifth military camp reviewed?"
