high official

Chapter 47
Because he had to supervise the storage, Wang Xian declined Chao Tianjiao's invitation to eat at home.Chao Gonggong asked people to send the food and wine to the warehouse, and accompanied him to eat in the warehouse.

Chao Tianjiao no longer dared to underestimate this little official Wang, not to mention his sinister and cunning father, but Wang Xian himself was shrewd and scary.At the end of the day, how much is collected, how much is owed, how much should be put into the treasury, and how much should be returned to the government, all are calculated exactly.Let Chao Tianjiao completely stop fooling him.

Chao Tianjiao estimated that it would not take many years for this kid to be able to sit in the position of household secretary.The days of dealing with each other are still long in the future, and it is time to repair the relationship as soon as possible.He even had the urge to adopt him as his grandson-in-law with a beauty trick, but unfortunately Wang Xian was already engaged, which made Chao Tianjiao complain about it.

There was no grievance that could not be resolved, and after Chao Tianjiao's deliberate flattery in the past few days, the two of them have long since smiled and wiped out their enmity.Chao Tianjiao saw that the heat was about the same, so Fang asked: "Your official, can you help me find out when my son will be able to go home?"

"This roast chicken tastes really good, where did you buy it?" Wang Xian said with a smile: "This is a matter of the execution room, where do I know?"

"I made it at home. It's rare that the officials like it. I'll bring two home to taste." Chao Tianjiao said with a strong smile: "The execution room is all your father's old subordinates, so it's okay to inquire about it, right?"

"Okay, I'll go back and ask after the tax is collected." Wang Xian nodded, and saw the grain merchant named Zhou Yang come over after weighing the grain.Speaking of which, Zhou Yang was the one who was shackled half a month ago.Wang Xian asked him what happened during the day?Zhou Yang said depressedly, he didn't do anything wrong, it's just that because the tax collection is coming soon, the Elder Master found an excuse to punish him.

It turns out that the food production in Fuyang County is limited, and most of the people are engaged in tea planting, paper making, and silk weaving, and they pay taxes for buying food.Therefore, during the tax season, the price of grain in Fuyang County will rise, and the grain merchants will take the opportunity to make a fortune.Unexpectedly, the newly appointed magistrate of Wei County attaches great importance to the stability of the people under the rule, lest the food price will skyrocket and the people will complain.They actually seized the two major grain merchants in the county in advance, and hung them outside the yamen for three days as a warning...

As soon as this matter was mentioned, Zhou Yang burst into tears. Isn't doing business just about buying cheap and selling expensive?It's not about famine, food shortage, hoarding, not to mention that he hasn't done anything... At least he didn't do anything this year, so why did he get shackles?

No way, who made the businessman's status lower in this era?The official wants to make a name for himself, invite people to buy people's hearts, if not him, who will he be?Didn't you see the common people applauding?

However, Zhou's grain merchant is really dedicated, and before his neck healed, he ran to Xinxiang to collect grain.He sat down next to Wang Xian with a stiff neck and said: "The score of the little official is not bad. The total is 43 shi, three buckets and seven liters of rice. According to the requirements of the little official, it will be paid in silver." Put it on the table and said: "Little official, check it."

Wang Xian opened the purse and saw that it was 20 taels of silver ingots and several strings of copper coins. He frowned and said, "There are too many."

"Not much, what's left is a little thought, thanks to the little official for taking care of my account." Zhou Liangshang said with a smile.He was a grain merchant, so he naturally wanted to curry favor with Wang Xian, a young and promising household clerk.

"It's easy to say, are we all friends now?" Wang Xian knew that his father was going to Hangzhou soon, and he had to walk the rest of the way by himself.If he wants to eat well and get along well in the county, he can only learn from Song Gongming and make friends regardless of his status. "Come on, I'll have a toast with Gong Zheng and Boss Zhou. I'm on a business trip the first day, and I don't understand anything. I'm causing trouble for the two of you."

The two hurriedly toasted and drank, Chao Tianjiao said with a smile: "Although the little official was on a business trip the day before, he is more sophisticated than many old people. It can be seen that the little official is very human, and he will surely flourish in the future!"

"That's for sure! When the time comes, I will definitely support my brothers!" Zhou Yang also boasted.

The three chatted happily until midnight, Chao Tianjiao asked Wang Xian to sleep at home, but Wang Xian insisted on sleeping in the warehouse.His career in his previous life told him that when he should be cautious, he must not be too troublesome. An Ansheng's errands are more important than anything else.

.

The tax collection continued the next day, and Shuaihui and Liu Erhei also came. In fact, Wang Xian didn't have anything to do with them, he just asked them to come over for dinner.In the past few days of tax collection, Chao Tianjiao naturally has to take care of the food, and every meal is extremely rich, and he can't eat for free...

After all, how many years have they been brothers, Shuaihui and Shuaihui take Wang Xian's affairs as their own affairs, unlike Qin Shou who only calculates how to make money for themselves.With the two of them watching everywhere, Wang Xian saved a lot of energy, but he still didn't dare to be careless, and still slept in the warehouse every day.

It was not until the seventh day, when all the [-] shi tax and food had been collected and shipped to the county seat, that Wang Xian breathed a sigh of relief.Before he had time to change into clean clothes, he immediately went to the county government office.

In Li Sheng's previous duty room, Zhang Sihu poured Wang Xian a cup of tea and said with a smile, "You must be exhausted these days."

"Don't bother me, sitting and collecting taxes is nothing to be tired of." Wang Xian didn't give color to open the dyeing workshop, and said respectfully: "Fortunately, the mission has been fulfilled, and all the taxes and rations for Shangxinxiang have been collected..." Said with both hands Hand over the books.

"Oh?" Zhang Sihu said, not without surprise, "Are there no objections to the more than a dozen households that have been raised?"

"Yes, there are, but the subordinates asked others to hand in first, making those who were raised feel helpless. Then they told them that this was raised in turn. After handing in this time, they can live in peace for at least nine years. During these nine years , the rest of the family will also have their turn, and no one can run away." Wang Xian replied: "They think about it, so they all pay back."

"Okay." Zhang Sihu smiled and said, "This move seems simple, but it actually understands people's hearts. It seems that you are competent for this pawn!"

"Thank you for your cultivation, sir!" Wang Xian said gratefully: "This subordinate will definitely take care of you and solve your problems!"

"Okay, okay!" Zhang Sihu smiled even brighter: "I'm sure I saw the right person!" As if I had a lot of credit...

"Besides." Wang Xian put a heavy burden on the tea table, opened it and said, "This is all odds and ends."

I saw seven white ingots of silver, and dozens of strings of copper coins, each of which was a hundred coins.Zhang Sihu was a little surprised and said, "So many?"

"Here is the list." Wang Xian took out another piece of paper from the bootleaf and handed it to Zhang Sihu.

Zhang Hua took it over and took a closer look, and saw that every income every day was clearly listed.After reading it, Zhang Sihu praised: "Whether Chao Liangchang or Zhou Liang merchant are old fried dough sticks, you didn't let them steal a penny. It seems that I can rest assured!"

"Maybe it's just that they don't dare to cheat for various reasons." Wang Xian said modestly: "This subordinate actually doesn't understand anything, so please remind me and teach me a lot."

"Uh ha ha..." The highest level of flattery is to be as invisible as Wang Xian, and let the person being photographed enjoy himself, that is really cool.Zhang Hua said from ear to ear: "I'll teach you something right now. You should keep it for yourself. You don't need to show it to your boss. Everyone knows it well."

"The subordinates still don't understand what should be taken and what should not be taken." After being ravaged by Li Sheng, Wang Xiantai knew how important it is to have a boss who is pleasing to your eyes.Therefore, he said without morality: "And the opportunity is given by the adults, and it should be handled by the adults."

"Hehe, the rules can't be broken." Zhang Hua said with a smile: "You put these copper coins away, if you feel sorry, you can treat the brothers in the house to eat, and you will naturally feel at ease."

"Thank you for your teaching!" Wang Xian rewrapped the copper coins and said goodbye.He actually wanted to leave half of it for Zhang Hua, but that seemed too sophisticated, which didn't match his image as a pink and tender rookie, and would easily arouse the vigilance of his superiors.

Back in the public room, all the scribes congratulated him one after another.Shangxinxiang was the first to pay taxes in Qiliang District, so the position of pawn naturally fell on the secretary office in charge of this place——Wang Xian became one of them in less than a month after entering the Yamen in just [-] years. The boss of this gang of old books.This makes everyone compliment, but it is inevitable that some are sour and bitter.

This is because Wang Xian went to the post through competition, and no one had anything to say. If he just relied on the merits of the denunciation to sit on the position of pawn, how many strange things will there be today...

But ten thousand compliments are not worth a penny.The scribes discussed where to go, and invited the future boss to drink and celebrate.

But Wang Xian insisted on paying for it himself, and treated the seniors to a drink.The secretariat knew that he had just made a fortune today, so he should have invited him, but how dare he let his future boss spoil the money.

After fighting and fighting, the final result is that today Wang Xian invited everyone to celebrate the big fortune.When he is officially appointed, everyone will congratulate him again.This pushback is not meaningless, at least let everyone know that the future Wang Dianli is not a stingy fellow!
This is very important, especially for a book office that is not looking for profit but only for money, it doesn't matter who you follow, what matters is how much benefit you can get...

At noon, Wang Xian asked Qin Shou to book three tables of banquets in Zhou's restaurant. There was no way, who made the house more crowded?There are still six people who haven't come back...

In the afternoon, Wang Xian went to invite Zhang Sihu and Xun Dianli again, but they both declined.In fact, it is easy to understand that the former is because he has become a leader and has to hold it.The latter was because he was not in a good mood because he was not a boss, and he wanted to vent his anger on Wang Xian, and he didn't want to mess with him...

But for the book office, it is better to let go of drinking and having fun without the presence of the boss.After the yamen were dismissed, a group of white-shirted bookstores came to Zhou's Restaurant in droves and drank until midnight.Wang Xian, the host and future boss, naturally became the target of drinking.His drinking capacity is average, and he is not good at refusing, how can he parry in the battle of wheels?Although Wu Wei blocked him a lot, he was still drunk and carried home...

Everyone in the house had already fallen asleep, and upon hearing the movement, Wang Gui got up and asked, and hurriedly opened the door for someone to carry him in.
