The end of the year is approaching, and even the most leisurely yamen will have to be busy for a while.
Although the yamen in this era are very backward, there are no various summaries, reports, plans, plans, accounts that need to be copied and pasted, and there are no consecutive conferences, small meetings, summary meetings, special meetings, and exchange meetings.
The meeting will be expanded, but after all, work reporting and reconciliation are still indispensable.
Jia Lian had just taken over the money and food arrangements in Shuntian Prefecture, and he especially needed to check clearly to avoid "laying mines" for himself in the future. So for several days in a row, he was almost busy in the Yamen without touching the floor, taking out his
I just joined the real estate company and was so excited that I finally managed the money and food account books and other matters clearly.
The prefect of the Song Dynasty had heard Jia Lian say that he wanted to do some practical work, and he only thought that he came here to show his desire to make progress. Unexpectedly, he actually checked all the accounts for the whole year in just a few days and reported to himself
The report was very clear and logical, and I couldn’t help but be surprised:
It is said that Jia Lian is a hedonistic dandy, as smooth as a glass ball. But now it seems that he is a calm man who can do big things. In addition, he will be a noble person in the future.
Then he smiled and nodded:
"Well done, well done. My nephew is so young and can do things so appropriately. It is true that the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. A young phoenix is better than an old phoenix."
Jia Lian was discussing official business with him when he heard him call him "nephew", which obviously meant getting close to him, so he hurriedly started walking with "a sedan chair":
"Shibo is very complimentary. Thanks to Shibo's teaching and guidance, my nephew has little experience. He can only do his best to do things, lest he disappoints Shibo's expectations."
In the previous episode, because Jia Lian provided clues to capture the criminal, Shuntian Prefecture directly solved the Fushui pot arson case. Not only did the Song prefect himself secretly receive one thousand and hundreds of taels of silver from the Xiang family, but he also took the opportunity to participate in Wan, who had always disliked him.
The magistrate of Ping County was praised by the emperor.
In this way, it is almost certain that the Song magistrate will get the word "neng" during the pilgrimage inspection at the end of the year. This year coincides with his relocation every six years, and his official position must be promoted by one promotion.
The prefect of the Song Dynasty was so happy that he twirled his beard and laughed:
"It is rare to be talented at a young age, but it is even rarer to be neither arrogant nor impetuous. Children can be taught, children can be taught."
Jia Lian lowered his head and said:
"It's a pity that my nephew woke up late and was unwilling to study hard before. Now he has to rely on donations to get this fifth-grade virtual title. Fortunately, the uncle did not dislike my nephew and gave him a chance to do something.
My nephew bursts with gratitude."
"Why should my nephew be like this?
As the eldest son of Rong Mansion, my nephew was born into a noble family and had a ready-made title waiting for him.
With such innate honor, it is easy to become an official, so why bother to go through the imperial examination to obtain fame?
Not only have you donated your official position, but you can also work hard, why worry about not having a successful career in the future?
If I can be promoted this time, I must recommend my nephew to be given the actual title so that my nephew can have the opportunity to serve the Holy Emperor."
.
After achieving his goal, Jia Lian got the promise from Magistrate Song, and he knew in his heart that the next step was to prepare more money and express his determination to serve the Holy Emperor to Magistrate Song.
Jia Lian rushed to the pot again without stopping.
The steam in the room was rising, like a fairyland. Qu Siping was taking the lead and sifting the lees with his bare arms. From a distance, he could smell the slightly sour smell of wine. When he got closer, it was so exciting that Jia Lian couldn't even open his eyes.
Jia Lian called Qu Siping out and told him that the sales of "Jiu Sword Fairy" were very good, and Dongfeng Tower would deliver another twenty jars of wine every day.
Qu Siping was so shocked that he crossed his hands and said:
"Okay, great.
I'm worried that this koji won't last long, so it would be great to be able to start working every day.
It’s just that the wine is not pure enough, I still need to improve it.”
"Okay, okay, okay, when you improve it, we'll call the new variety 'Jiu Sword God'."
.
When he saw a pile of accounting books for cooking pots, notes owed to him, and a lot of matters that needed to be dealt with such as importing materials, shipping goods, wages, etc., Jia Lian's head buzzed loudly:
Your sister, it’s just such a small wine making workshop, how come there are so many miscellaneous chores!
I just finished messing with the mess in the yamen, and another bunch of people popped up here, killing people.
Jia Lian grabbed Qu Siping and asked him to handle it. Qu Siping chuckled:
"Second Master, I have lived for almost fifty years. I have been concentrating on brewing wine for the past few days, and my life has been so relaxed and happy. I can't say anything this time.
It was agreed that the second master would take care of all the chores in the cooking pot, and the second master could not keep his word.
If the second master can't take care of it, he can just find someone reliable to take care of it. Anyway, I just want to concentrate on making wine and don't want to worry about these miscellaneous things anymore."
Seeing the smile on Qu Siping's face, Jia Lian couldn't bear to force it, so he could only deal with it one by one.
However, Xing'er looked at the sky and reminded him:
"Second Master, you are thinking about the time.
The guest was invited by Master Er through a message, and the gentlemen over there are waiting in the Dongfeng Building."
.
Jia Lian looked at the seven or eight goods slips in his hand and asked Xing'er:
"Are you willing to be the shopkeeper here?"
Xing'er nodded excitedly, but when he saw the note in Jia Lian's hand and the account book on the table, he shook his head again:
"My slave... doesn't know how to read, and I can't settle accounts."
Jia Lian threw away his hand and slapped Xing'er with a note:
"Tell me, who in Erye's yard can read?"
Xing'er scratched his head and smiled:
"Cai Ming was brought by the second grandma from her parents' home. Because the second grandma was illiterate and needed someone to read the account book, she chose him who could read and write.
Later, Caiming was ill for several days and there was no one around to help her, so she asked Caiming to teach Suming and Guiming how to read.
Besides, then I only need you to be the second master and you have great knowledge."
In the management center of the entire Rongguo Mansion, that is, the courtyard of Erye Lian and Wang Xifeng, the "intellectuals" other than Jia Lian are three third-grade elementary school students!
The illiteracy rate in this family is also extremely high.
Can this still be managed modernly?
Jia Lian gritted his teeth and calculated the accounts for a while. He looked up and saw that Xing'er was so idle that his eyes were chattering. He was so angry that he grabbed Xing'er's ears and cursed:
"Go back and read to me!
Let Caiming teach you, if you don’t study hard, I’ll break your legs!”
.
By the time Jia Lian rushed to Dongfeng Tower like a gust of wind, he was already more than half an hour late.
Fortunately, the guests who were invited in that group were not polite, they ordered their own food and drinks, and already drank them while shouting.
As soon as he saw Jia Lian coming in, Xie Qianli jumped over in two steps, grabbed Jia Lian's arm with one hand, and held a wine cup in the other, shouting:
"Good on you, Lian Er!
I finally invited a guest, but I didn’t see anyone. I was almost an hour late because of my procrastination. I want to ask everyone, should I punish him severely?"
The group of people were all drunk and started shouting:
"Penalty! Punishment! Punishment!"
Jia Lian knew he was in the wrong, so he took the initiative to take the big cup with a smile, and downed three cups in a row.
He was busy today, and he suddenly drank three large glasses of wine on an empty stomach, which made him feel dizzy for a moment.
Jia Lian swayed and was supported by Chen Jingxing beside him:
