Volume 1 Fuchun Mountain Residence Map Chapter 66 Yongfeng Cang
γ The two of them have always spoken openly, but they made Sister Lin blush. Wang Xian looked at her sideways, and saw that Sister Lin's face was like red jade, which was really beautiful, and people really wanted to touch it.
He was bold, secretly stretched out his paws under the table, and grabbed Sister Lin's little hand. Sister Lin's delicate body was shocked, but in front of her in-laws, brothers and sisters-in-law, how dare she show half an abnormality, so she could only hold it with shame.
Wang Xian was secretly overjoyed, playing with Sister Lin's soft and boneless little hands, how could he be willing to let go again? I really held it until I finished eating......
But Sister Lin was bitter, she was ashamed and afraid, and there was a hint of sweetness, for a while, and when Wang Xian let go and got up, she was suddenly empty, her legs were soft, and she couldn't stand up.
"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Wang Xian asked with concern.
Lin Qing'er bit her lips, glanced at him hatefully, and snorted: "It's okay, it's not enough to drink." β
"Mother, I'll send my sister back to the house." Wang Xian went to help her, but listened to the old lady say: "Qing'er's little weight, just let Yinling do, you carry your brother back!" β
Only then did Wang Xian realize that he was patronizing and teasing Sister Lin, but he didn't see that the eldest brother over there was already drunk. I had to go and carry Wang Gui up and carry him back to the room.
On the way to the wing, Wang Gui put his arms around his neck and cried bitterly: "Brother, Erlang, brother, I'm sorry for you, in fact, I scolded you behind my back, especially after Cuilian ran away from home, I don't want to see you ......" said and hugged him hard and said: "You are so good to me, but my brother is scolding you behind your back, I am really not human, I am not worthy of being your brother." Woo, I'll call you brother in the future......"
Wang Xian smiled helplessly: "If you don't scold me, you will really have a snot." After struggling to get him to the east house, Hou quickly opened the door, and the two of them stripped Wang Gui's clothes and stuffed them into the quilt. Wang Xian was just about to leave, but Wang Gui stopped him and said: "I will pay off the debt you owe, I have twenty ...... here."
Although the Hou family hates sending charcoal in the snow, he likes the icing on the cake, and he even smiled painfully: "Yes, second uncle, I still have more than 100 taels, let's pay off the account first." β
"No, you have a lot of expenses after rì, and you also need money to run the workshop, don't worry about me, I have my own way." Wang Xian said with a smile.
"Look at my brother, nowhere to find it with a lantern!" Wang Gui lay on the bed and said loudly: "Cuilian, you were really blind at the beginning......
"Yes, I'm blind." Hou Shi lost his temper at all, and said along with Wang Gui.
"Stop, don't talk about this stubble." Wang Xian smiled, closed the door and went straight to the west wing, but he was closed......
"Sister, open the door." Wang Xian whispered to the door, but no one answered. After a while, Yinling came out of the hall, "My sister is asleep." β
"Sleep, who gave the latched door?" Wang Xian glared.
"Then who knows what to do?" Yinling grimaced and said, "Maybe it's sleepwalking." β
"your ......" Wang Xian understood, this was Sister Lin's fear that she would do something embarrassing in her head, so that she couldn't hold her head up in front of her in-laws.
"Hehe, there's no place to sleep, right?" Silver Bell gloated.
"Hmph......" Wang Xian whispered, "Look how I get in." After speaking, he raised his voice and said: "Yes, I have no place to sleep, so I have to go to Xiao Qinhuai for one night." β
Then he silently gestured to Yinling, 'one, two, three, four......', and before she counted to ten, Sister Lin, who was 'drunk', really opened the door with a red face.
Wang Xian made a victory gesture towards Yinling, and stepped into Sister Lin's boudoir, but Sister Lin flashed out over there.
"Let's go to sleep, I'll squeeze in with Yinling......" Sister Lin shrugged her little nose like a demonstration, and then took Yinling's arm and entered the hall.
Seeing the door slamming shut, Wang Xian smacked his lips, really, you escaped the first year of junior high school, can you escape the fifteenth? When I went into the wing, I saw that Sister Lin hadn't taken the quilt away, so she was immediately relieved, stripped naked and got in, smelled the full of girl's body fragrance, and entered a fragrant dreamland.
In his sleep, he and Sister Lin were like the lotus and the two-horned ling, and the colorful mandarin ducks were busy playing in the water......
When I got up in the morning, I saw that it was broken, and I was embarrassed and thrown to my grandmother's house. So he didn't eat breakfast, didn't say hello, and slipped away......
Back to Yamen, I had breakfast. The first thing Wang Xian did was to tell Qin Shou to find a few craftsmen and quickly repair the courtyard assigned to him.
Qin Shou took the key and went over to see that it was a small courtyard with houses in three directions, empty, with no furniture, and the doors and windows were dilapidated, and the interior walls were peeling, so he had to find a mason carpenter to overhaul it. Seeing this, Qin Shou thought to himself, this must be an opportunity for adults to give us filial piety.
So he went back to the house and deliberately inquired, how could he find a suitable craftsman, and everyone heard the song and knew the elegance, so you hired a carpenter, I went to the bricklayer, he bought a table and chairs, and I bought a bed...... After a while, the clerk who raised the house divided up all the expenses.
Such a big movement, Wang Xian just didn't hear it, and Shuai Hui would also make a small report. Wang Xian couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, he really didn't mean to take the opportunity to make money, but as soon as Qin Shou's dog leg was announced, it was no longer interesting for him to deny it. I can only remind myself that if I don't take this as an example, if there is such a thing in the future, don't make a noise, just let my family cΔo hold it.
In fact, the joy of weddings, funerals, and housewarming has always been an opportunity for the boss to collect money and the subordinates to pay tribute, and he has been accustomed to it for thousands of years, and Wang Xian has no intention of being a Qing official, not to mention that he is not even an official, so why bother himself? Just follow the rules.
In the afternoon, he reported the accounts of the previous month to Wei Zhi County, and Wang Xian proposed that he hoped to go to the Yongfeng warehouse.
Let Wang Xianyi remind him, Wei Zhixian realized that after he took office, he had been busy seizing power, and he had neglected to close the position!
Yongfeng warehouse is often closed, this dynasty is also called the reserve warehouse, is a good government of the imperial court to stabilize the people's livelihood. It has three main functions, one is 'ping', that is, the so-called chΕ«n buys autumn and sells, and mediates the price of grain. One is 'lending', when the countryside is not in good spring, the people are lent seeds and rations, and the chΕ«n borrows it in the autumn to pay it back, of course, with additional interest. The other is 'relief', which opens a warehouse to help the people when there is a large-scale flood and drought locust plague......
It is no exaggeration to say that Changping is the stabilizer of a state and a county, and if this system works well, the people will be able to withstand the famine and their lives will be more stable. If the operation is not good, there will be bankrupt people from time to time, and there will be large-scale famine during famine, resulting in starvation everywhere and displacement of people......
Since Wei Zhixian is determined to report to the emperor's grace and Xia An Lishu, how well he does the closing of the position can be said to be the top priority, and once reminded, he naturally attaches great importance to it.
Listening to those tricks of stealing beams and changing pillars, Wei Zhixian gritted his teeth and stared at Wang Xian coldly: "This official also knows the truth that when the water is clear, there is no fish." But you have remembered to me that you are not allowed to be greedy for money that hurts the conscience and the law of the country, otherwise the official will cut off your dog's head! β
"The subordinates are in agreement with the eldest master," Wang Xian smiled bitterly in his heart, if I want to be corrupt, why bother to report to you, "The subordinates are the accounts of the county, and there are some bad rules and conventions, so they have to follow, otherwise such a big stall will not be able to continue." However, the things that hurt nature and reason and bend the law for bribes must be put an end, and the eldest master will not be troubled, nor will he be poked in the backbone by the common people. β
Listening to his statement, Wei Zhixian felt deeply intimate, so he put on a smile and said: "This official is strong and wants you to take charge of the house, firstly, I take a fancy to your outstanding ability, but even more so because you are loyal and good, don't let me down!" β
"Yes." Wang Xian looked grateful.
After getting the ticket card from the magistrate, Wang Xian went to Zhuangban and ordered 20 Minzhuang, and the 20 secretaries led by Wu Wei were remitted together, and rushed to Yongfeng Cang, which is located in the east of the city.
The tea kung fu came to Yongfeng Lane, where the warehouse is located. Wang Xian asked everyone to wait at the gate, and he, accompanied by Wu Wei, went in first to check the ticket card with Ambassador Cang.
The county's ambassador is called Du Ziteng, although he is a petty official who is not in the stream, he is also one level higher than the official. Although Wang Xian was hot, he still didn't dare to hold it up, and after meeting Du Ziteng, he went to his duty room to sit down.
Du Ziteng is in his forties, with a fat head and big ears, and he looks good, but he is normal. There is a saying in officialdom, called 'It is better to be an official than a prostitute, and it is better to be a prostitute', which means that from the perspective of benefits, it is better to be an official than to be in charge of the warehouse, and the person in charge of the warehouse is not as good as the one who is in charge of the grain depot. It can be seen that although the official position of the ambassador is low, the oil and water are extremely rich.
Wang Xian Daoming came to understand, Du Ziteng was not surprised, because in the early winter of the calendar, it is a routine to sell old rice and buy new rice, and it is really late to drag it out until the end of winter this year. Of course, there are many flower heads here, but Du Ziteng and Wang Xian are not familiar with each other, so he asked Zhou Yang and Zhou grain merchants to explore the wind before, and they also ate the closed door. In addition, Wang Xian was a close confidant of the magistrate, so Ambassador Du did not dare to speak rashly and decided to do business first.
After inspecting the ticket card, Du Ziteng asked the warehouse clerk to get the account book, and introduced: "There were originally four reserve warehouses in this county, which were located in Sixiang, but in recent years, there have been troubles along the coast, and the political secretary ordered that the grain of Changping be concentrated in the county seat, and no longer set up warehouses in the countryside. β
In the memory of Wang Xian's previous life, it seems that the middle of the Ming Dynasty only made trouble with the Japanese invaders, but in fact, from the Hongwu period to Yongle, the coastal Japanese were also very rampant...... However, the Japanese invaders came and went without a trace, and there were internal responses, and it was very difficult for the officials and soldiers to eliminate them.
Wang Xian listened to Du Ziteng's introduction while flipping through the account books. He didn't have time to look at the thick account book carefully, and after roughly counting it, he got up and said, "Master Du, let's go to the library to have a look." β
"Okay." Du Ziteng nodded, picked up a large plate of keys, and led Wang Xian through several waterproof and fireproof courtyard walls to the outside of the warehouse with the 'A number'.
Du Ziteng opened the door of the warehouse, and saw that the grain troughs made of bricks and stones were filled with white rice. Du Ziteng stretched out his hand and grabbed a handful of rice and said, "It is rainy and wet in the south of the Yangtze River, and the grain storage must be kept ventilated and dry. β
Wang Xian nodded and asked, "How much grain will you have to deal with this year?" β
