Follow General Cao to mix the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 17 Wang Yu's "Happy Master" Life

The happiness of becoming a gentry landlord lasted for four hours and 13 minutes. Well, it is about this long!

No way, at night, sleeping in his own mansion in the city, Wang Hou was woken up by freezing!

Cao Cao treated him fairly well. The mansion with five entrances, more than [-] rooms and two Datong shops, the specifications can be compared to a real thousand stone-level official, and the house is not empty, and the furniture inside is complete. However, this Han Dynasty Furniture is really anti-human!The big hard wooden bed, and the screens on three sides of the bed did not seem to have much effect on keeping warm. In this era, cotton cloth has not been promoted, Wang Hou is not high enough, and there are no fur clothes and quilts, and the clothes are covered with hemp. It is a kind of enjoyment to wear a cover to relieve the heat in summer, but it is a complete torture in winter.

The house is not very warm. Mr. Cao is looking at bamboo slips these days. Although the selfless Mr. Cai Lun and Eunuch Cai have simplified and extracted papermaking, just like cotton, this thing has not been promoted, and glass is a thousand years later. Damn, the one who blocked the windows for Wang Hou was actually a damn linen cloth!Can this thing block the wind?

In the whole spacious room, the warmth comes from two copper braziers with charcoal fire inside, but Wang Hou was afraid of being suffocated by these things, so he put them far away from the windows. In this winter, such a big room, It really doesn't make sense for him not to be frozen into a dog.

Now Wang Hou misses Cao Hongjie very much. In the few days when the snow fell, this girl had warmed his bed anyway, and he was allowed to sleep with her in the tent. At least he could rely on each other's body temperature for warmth. Now, he really understands What is the feeling of sleeplessness, the house is colder than camping in the wild!

Call a slave girl to warm the bed?
Hugging the dry and cold quilt for a long time, Wang Hou still strangled this tempting thought to death, curled up into a ball, screaming sadly.

"I don't believe I can't sleep anymore!"

With a bang, he rolled up the hemp quilt heavily, covering his head tightly.

But sometimes it’s really hard not to believe in evil. Early the next morning, the sun had just risen. Wang Hou came out of the house with a long nose, and his dark circles hurriedly moved against the sun.

"master!"

The one who got up as early as him was Wang Fu, an old man given to him by Chen Deng. Under his arrangement, it was still in good order. Two cooks and five cooks got up early to cook in the back kitchen. This time, Chen Deng sent more than 200 ox carts and more than 70 cattle to Wang. Hou, the nine grooms were also busy feeding the animals, and the rest was a bit too much snow sweeping, and more than [-] people filled the house.

Obviously aware of so many people swaying in front of him, the swaying Wang Hou was a little confused, and Wang Fu carefully complained while holding his fists.

"Master, when you are away, the old slave can't be the master. There are indeed too many people in our house. Wang E and the others can buy some looms and leave them to weave and do odd jobs in the house. Wang Ganzi and the others ten Although he doesn't have much craftsmanship, he is strong and strong, and he can be a servant and nurse for the master. The blacksmith Wang Hammer, the plasterer Wang Ni, the king paste, the carpenter Wang Bangmai, and the planter Wang Zizi. I suggest staying here, they can be used for repairs in the mansion, and the cooks like Wang Shaozi and Wang Gaizi can also use it, add one piece of 53, the mansion is enough, and the rest of the masters can send them to the countryside Plow the land for the master, or sell it in the market!"

Wang Fuzhen is a professional housekeeper. He has a plan in his house, but the cruelty and ruthlessness of this era has taught Wang Hou a little bit more. A living person, he can sell it as soon as he says it?Seeing the servants who were newly appointed servants of his mansion nearby sweeping the snow with great effort, while looking at him nervously, Wang Hou shook his head helplessly.

"Anyway, the prime minister gave me a lot of land, so don't sell it. You can buy the things you just said, and then take my field book to the outside of the city to receive the land. If the house doesn't need it, let them go there. The countryside is ready to be cultivated!"

Although farming is not as good as staying in the city, but in the era of cannibalism these days, if they were sold, they might starve to death. The remaining servants who were not in Wang Fu's plan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

However, after making the arrangement, pawing and flicking his fingers, Wang Hou became excited again, knocked his head hard, and gave Wang Fu another hasty order: "Yes. By the way, is there any coal seller in the market in Xuchang? Well, it seems to be called charcoal. I bought some for my master. Don’t we have masons? Let them build a stove to burn some bricks for my master. Oh, there is no cement in this era , What is the formula of cement?"

I used to have nothing to do, either wandering around the world or strolling in the cold. Now it comes in handy. In Wang Fu’s fear that his eyes are almost cross-eyed, Wang Hou hit his head full of melon seeds with his fists, forcefully recalling what he had seen before. I recited a simple recipe.

"Limestone, clay for burning bricks, yes, there seems to be slag for making iron, get me a few sacks for the master, and use a stone mill to grind it into flour for me, I am useful!"

Hearing a lot of things, Wang Fu was dizzy, his old brow was beaded with sweat, he was afraid of forgetting something, he nodded over and over and kept muttering, before he could go far, Wang Hou sneezed suddenly Suddenly, he gritted his teeth and shouted again.

"By the way, chickens, ducks, and geese! Buy another twenty or thirty for my master, and I'll freeze to death, Ah Chi!"

No wonder everyone wants to be an official. The treatment of officials in this era is quite good. Just go to work after the sun comes out at nine o’clock. At home, first clean up the house all morning. It’s about [-]:[-], and Wang Hou is in Wangganzi now. Surrounded by several servants, he rode in a carriage with big wheels and wandered all the way to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Although it was cold all night, yesterday's mood was completely different from today's. In front of the prime minister's mansion decorated with two nest monster statues, Wang Hou entered the house in a happy mood humming a little tune, or was he led by the servant who guided him yesterday. , took him to the place where the prime minister belonged to Twelve Cao's office.

In fact, in terms of rank, his Cang Cao is just a small official. For hundreds of years in the Han Dynasty, the central court managed the official warehouses, and it was all managed by the Taicang Order under the command of the Dasinong, the Taicang Cheng and the military officer Zhisu Xiaowei. Now is the chaotic times at the end of the Han Dynasty. After Han Xiandi fled eastward, the rights of the two princes and nine ministers were all emptied by Cao Cao. His new official also rose with the tide. One-third of the household department is a book.

There are quite a few people under his command. As soon as he entered the door, Cang Yu, who had the same official position as him before the 30th, clasped his fists together respectfully: "Meet Cang Cao Ling!"

This respect is respect, but there are not many who are really sincere. Cangcao was only established this year. How many grain officials are rushing here to work hard, but they never expected to fall on the head of Wang Hou, a notorious corrupt official. , a few well-known warehouse rafters were obviously jealous, and Wang Hou, who had never seen a manager before, felt sorry for him. This team is not easy to lead.

However, there are also people who know how to behave. After a few words of unnutritious pleasantries, all the officials return to their respective positions.

"I've met Cangcao, and I'm an official from Yu Bing. My lord's name has been admired for a long time. Although I'm not a talented official, I've been working in Cangcao for a while. If my lord needs anything, just ask my lord!"

"Oh, you transfer all the account books of Taicang's various warehouses to the officer, and then prepare for it. This afternoon, the officer will inspect Taicang!"

This passage made all the food officials in Cangcao's office tremble uncontrollably, even Yu Bing in front of him. The stiffness and hostility in the air became stronger, but Wang Hou couldn't even reason No reason, turned around and entered the signing room that belonged to him.

In fact, he also knows that when he first arrived, he was parachuted into this newly established Cangcao system with the military ration officer behind Cao Cao's ass. No.

However, it also depends on whose subordinates it is. The past few years have been a critical season for Mr. Cao, with frequent wars. As the saying goes, before the army is mobilized, food and grass will be moved first. If Mr. Cao gets angry when he can't get any food, he still has to lose his head!
There are not many warehouse managers with clean buttocks. He has made a big investigation as soon as he comes up, obviously offending others, but for his own head, he doesn't care whether to offend or not. Give Cao Cao's account book, and put aside the relationship with himself who was corrupted by so-and-so before.

However, Wang Hou still underestimated the difficulty of clearing the warehouse. When he was sitting in the signing room and fiddling with the official seal, heavy footsteps came from outside, and the door was pushed open with a creak. The heavy bamboo slips were brought in heavily and placed on the ground.

It was obvious that several food officials outside showed gloating smiles, and their faces were slightly twitched, so Yu Bing forced a respectful bow: "My lord, all the accounting books of Taicang's income and expenditure are here, please Adults read it!"

Looking at the dusty bamboo slips, Wang Hou almost cried.

Sitting sadly on the stone pier that had just been cleared of snow in the atrium of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Cao Hongjie ran out in small strides with great interest while Wang Hou waited while gnashing his teeth.

"Why are you looking for me?"

I really don’t know why Mr. Cao chooses such a tomboy as Xiaomi. I haven’t seen her for a day. She is not wearing any armor at all. She can be dressed like a warrior in men’s clothing. She looks fierce, but even if she is swimming in a bikini now, Wang Hou is not in the mood Going to see it, the new official's first fire is stuck in his hands. Although there is no immediate worry, the sense of crisis makes Wang Hou still work hard to keep his head!A counting chip was directly stuffed into Cao Hongjie's little hands.

"help!"

"Hey, you are in charge of Cangcao, why do you want my help?"

"Catching the mouse, I'll give you a share of the credit. Submit a letter, and General Cao Hongjie will assist you! I'll treat you to a good meal after I'm done!"

This girl is definitely a slave, and when she heard that she deserved credit, she immediately smiled a little.

"make a deal!"
