high official

Chapter 37 How to squeeze out the boss ([-])

.

At midnight the next day, Li Sihu said in a lecture: "The time has come for the townships to harvest the autumn grain, but the elder ordered to re-check the yellow books. Although you are rushing to work, you can't wait for all the account books to be re-checked, and you can only verify a part of them. , accept part of it. The elder has already nodded in agreement..."

The expressions of all the scribes changed greatly when they heard the words. Whoever took on this job would be Cao Cao meeting Jiang Gan—a bad luck.

"Xun San, you go." Li Sihu's eyes fell on the slippery secretary,

"My lord, I still have a lot of work at hand," Xun San said with a bitter face, "It will take several days to hand over the thousands of accounts, I'm afraid I can't afford to delay."

"That makes some sense." Li Sihu nodded, turned his gaze to Wang Xian who was standing at the bottom, and said, "You're useless in calculating accounts, you're just adding to the chaos here, go out and collect taxes, it's also considered waste!"

"..." Wang Xian said in a low voice, "But my lord, my subordinates have never learned how to collect taxes."

"It's not for you to collect it yourself." Li Sheng said coldly: "The harvesting is the responsibility of the food chief. You just go to supervise and collect everything that should be collected. If you can't do such a simple job, you should do it as soon as possible. Just get out of the yamen!" Without waiting for his consent, he turned and entered the inner room.

Back in the public house, Wang Xian saw several people looking at him with sympathetic eyes...Although we only got along for a few days, maybe it was the mentality of sympathy for the weak, maybe Wang Xian was considerate in dealing with people, in short, everyone's attitude towards him much better.Although frightened by Li Sihu's pressure, he didn't dare to get too close to him, but it was fine to speak normally.

"Why, what's wrong?"

"Oh, you're in big trouble this time." Everyone sighed and said, "Find a way to take a sick leave, or you'll have to walk around..." After saying that, they shook their heads and went about their own business.

"At least tell me, what should I do next?" Wang Xian said with a bitter face.

"Go to the Liang Division to find Zhang Dianli, he will tell you." Wu Wei patted him on the shoulder and said in a low voice: "You have to listen to what everyone says."

"Thank you." Wang Xian smiled gratefully, left the public room and went to the grain department's value room.It is said that household affairs are the most complicated. Under the three economic officials, there are more than 30 non-economic officials, and a special grain department is set up to handle the summer and autumn taxes. Zhang Dianli is the leader of the grain department.

When Wang Xian entered, Zhang Dianli had already prepared the white booklet, signature card, and tax payment notice, handed them to him and said: "Relax, don't stress, I will find someone to go with you." The white guard came in and ordered: "You go with Wang Shuban, it's his first time as an errand, please remind me if there is anything."

Qin Shou nodded and bowed in response, and then saluted Wang Xian.Baiyue is a temporary worker other than regular servants. They are available in every house and are dedicated to running errands. Naturally, their status is lower than that of the book office.

Wang Xian let Li Sihu grind it into small tofu, and greeted him very politely, which made Qin Shou flattered and even said he dared not.

The two first took the paperwork from the household house, went to the strongman's class to ask for two folks, took a mule cart, and left the county town to Changxin Township, fifteen miles to the north.

On the way, Wang Xian saw Qin Shou and the two Min Zhuang smiling, and seemed to be looking forward to this errand, so he couldn't help asking strangely: "What's so happy about it?"

Qin Shou is in his thirties, white and fat, with a beard of dog oil, seven of which are facing upwards and eight of them are facing downwards.The two small eyes are very focused, and they are very shrewd at a glance. Hearing this, he said with a smile: "Bai Gong and Min Zhuang like us have no money and work for the government for nothing. Click 'Stay Promising', all pointing to this kind of errand, you can have some tricks."

"Oh." Wang Xian nodded and said, "Then why do they look at me like they're dead?"

"Hehe..." Qin Shou smiled and wanted to confuse, but was pressed by Wang Xian, so he had to tell the truth, "Isn't this obvious? Changxin Township is the first one to finish the review, and the other townships haven't got a result yet. They Looking at the white book, I found that not only was it more than the original tax amount, but it was even more than last year, so it must be delayed until other townships have finished their review and see what their situation is."

"So that's the case." Wang Xian nodded, as he guessed, and asked, "Then what can we do to deal with them?"

"There's no way." Qin Shou shook his head bluntly and said, "Liang Zhang is a person with an upturned nostril, let alone a book office like Wang Xiaoge, even Li Sihu doesn't pay attention to him. The master spoke directly. What can we do?"

"..." Wang Xian thought about his arrogance, and he almost called Hu Tutou a pig's head. How could he be taken seriously by a white-shirted book office?

"If you want me to say, let's go eat, drink, and get some, and then come back to do business." Seeing his sad face, Qin Shou suggested for him: "Then I will eat some croton tomorrow, and I will run away for a few days. Naturally, Sihu Will be replaced."

"Good idea." Wang Xian said with a wry smile: "It's really not possible, it's the only way." To avoid the first day of the junior high school, but not the fifteenth day, Li Sheng can use various tricks to punish him, this is not the way at all.

.

Arriving in Changxin Township at noon, Wang Xian took the household documents and found Chao Liang's home in this district.Sure enough, he was a big dog again, and the grandstand door alone was on par with He Yuan's family, and the concierge also had the superiority of a country gentleman and family member, so he ignored Wang Xianai.

After Wang Xian showed the document, the doorman looked at him and said: "My family just went to visit friends, but let the officials go for nothing."

"When will you be back?" Qin Shouxin thumped, he might have lost all his money.

"It's not counted. It could be as little as three to five days, or as long as ten and a half months." Menzi replied unhurriedly.

"That won't delay anything." Qin Shou said anxiously, "Can't we go and look for it?"

"I can't find it. My family members have a lot of friends. They might play chess with the abbot at Qiaoshan Temple, or go to Xianxialing to find out the victories. Every time we come back with a lot of fun, we can't find them." Menzi said. With a smile on his face, he said: "There is only a lady at home, so I won't invite the masters in." He took out a stack of half-new and not old banknotes from the bootleaf, and handed it to Wang Xiandao: "You can't let the masters be in vain. Take a trip, be careful, let's drink some tea."

That expression of not treating you like a dish makes Wang Xian's teeth itch with hatred, grandma, Li Sheng looks down on me, and you, a guard, look down on me too!But looking at the three people on the left and right, they were all so greedy for the pile of money that they were all drooling, and he probably just got himself humiliated when he got angry... He finally suppressed his anger, turned his head and left.

Qin Shou quickly took it over and said with a smile, "Thank you very much, let's go."

The three of them followed Wang Xian and left the gate of the villa. The gate pouted contemptuously, turned around and went in, and when they came to the backyard, they saw an old man in Taoist robes doing Tai Chi there.

"Master, I've already sent you away." Menzi waited patiently for him to accept his move, and then said respectfully.

"Yeah." The old man was Chao Tianjiao, the food chief of Changxin Township who was said to be on a trip. He stroked his beard and said, "I was a little confused when I heard that our village head should pay the food first. Who would have thought that Li Sihu would send another person?" For me, just prevaricate, he will take care of everything. What kind of medicine is this bought in the gourd?"

"The master doesn't understand, and the younger ones naturally don't understand either." Menzi laughed and said, "But the one who came here was a young man with a few white servants, like those who beat the autumn wind, more often came to collect taxes."

"Hehe." Chao Tianjiao took the towel and wiped off his sweat and said, "It doesn't matter what kind of flower gun he is playing, anyway, this year, he will be sent off as agreed before, and the extra two and one will be added to five, even Li Sihu can't change this! "

"That is, the imperial power of the Ming Dynasty does not go to the countryside, and the government cannot intervene in the collection of taxes and food. How much is collected and how much is given to them, isn't it all up to the master?" Menzi flattered.

"Uh ha ha ha..." Chao Tianjiao laughed triumphantly.

Some people are happy while others are sad. When Chao Tianjiao was laughing, Wang Xianzheng was walking back to the city depressed.Qin Shou's suggestion to hit a tip on the road before proceeding was also ignored by him.

I really can't bear it anymore, if I continue like this, I will be played to death!Li, you forced me to do this!
Thinking of this, Wang Xian touched his bosom, there were nine major financial problems that he audited out, I don't believe you can't kill you bastard!
Back in the county seat, it was already past meal time, Wang Xian ignored the three of them, jumped out of the car and went home.

I don't know if he is careless, it seems that the neighbors are not as enthusiastic as they used to greet him.There is a saying that good things do not go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles. I was beaten to death by the surname Li. I guess the whole county knows...

Sure enough, the sixth uncle no longer gave him oranges, and the seventh brother had no fish to send, let alone Zhu Dachang's pig's trotters.Although everyone still politely called him Little Official, as soon as he walked over, they whispered:
"Mr. Li really wants to deal with Wang Er?"

"That's not true. Back then, Wang Er's mother followed Wang Xingye instead of Li Sheng, and he held a grudge for the rest of his life. Now that he has the opportunity, can he not send Xiao Er?"

"That Xiao Er is miserable, isn't he like a grasshopper who can be pinched by others?"

"No, alas, this kid is really unlucky..."

"It's a pity that my orange..."

"Shut up, I didn't say anything with four trotters, you two rotten oranges are nothing!"

They thought they were speaking behind Wang Xian's back, but they didn't know that all those words drifted into his ears along with the wind.Wang Xian sighed, it seems that no one really cares about me...

Thinking wildly, he entered the alley, opened the door and said, "Mom, I'm back."

"Why, you got fired so soon?" The old lady was holding out the soles of her shoes, looking at him with a sneer and said.

"Mother..." Wang Xian was so depressed that he wanted to bang his head against the wall. I am depressed enough to be outside, and I have to be ridiculed by you when I come back...

Unexpectedly, the old woman picked up the sole of the shoe and slapped him on the head, cursing as she slapped back: "Are you still a man, if someone else wants to fuck you, just let him do it? You can just kill him! Come back for comfort, you haven’t weaned yet, you!”

Wang Xian ran away with his head in his arms, and shouted: "I was not fired, I just came back to take a look..."
