Take the system back to the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 5

At noon, Liu Dutou put up the arbor, and within half an hour of drinking tea to avoid the heat, the task was completed. According to statistics by Zhao Cheng himself, the filling volume was more than 30 vehicles.

Gathering all the people together, Zhao Cheng wore a broken straw hat, and the golden rooster independently stood on a high place and shouted: "Don't talk nonsense, you are easy and I am easy, come here to collect money, two coins per person, after receiving it, go home to enjoy the cool, or hug Get your wife to bed and get to know each other."

"Ha ha……"

Most people laughed.

Today's efficiency is higher than yesterday, and everyone is generally satisfied. It's just when the sun is at its strongest, so we can go home early and still have money.

Everyone was gone, and Zhao Cheng gave two coins to each of the guys who helped distribute the money.But one of them, a tall guy with big feet, told him to stay.

Since the day before yesterday, Zhao Cheng has discovered that this guy doesn't talk much. Although he is thin, he is very strong. Especially when he pushes the cart with force, it can be seen that his legs are very strong and his quality is good.

The atmosphere of working the day before yesterday was not good. Many people would deliberately tease him and tell him to do more heavy work. This guy basically scratched his head and went to do heavy work.

After two days of observation, Zhao Cheng also learned that this is an orphan who has been wandering in Chizhou City since he was a child. He has no name and is nicknamed Guijiaoqi.

"Brother Cheng, I don't know if I have an extra two cents?"

Guijiaoqi scratched his head in a naive manner, but saw Zhao Cheng handing over ten copper coins.

"It's too much, isn't it two dollars?" Gui Jiaoqi looked very dull and didn't dare to take it.

"not much."

After Zhao Cheng stuffed the money into his hand, the guy didn't thank him. He scratched his head, turned around and ran away, really fast.

Zhao Cheng couldn't help jumping: "Isn't this finished? Why are you running? Stay and follow me."

He turned back and said: "I have no place to live. After a wealthy family's house was ransacked, it became an abandoned house. Many members of the beggar gang stayed in it for the night. I want to get a place to sleep. If I go there late, it will be occupied by others. Full."

"No, you will live in my house from now on. From now on, as long as I am alive, you will have a place to live and food to eat, and I will pay you back ten dollars a day." Zhao Cheng said.

"Ah...then you will die." Gui Jiaoqi was extremely surprised.

Zhao Cheng shook his head slightly, "You're wrong. Even if I sell my ancestral house, I will raise a bunch of people like you. The more I have, the more I will earn. Just wait and see."

After counting, there are about 190 Wen left today, I keep the change for myself, and hand over [-] Wen to Liu Dutou.

This time I barely counted it as change, and I felt a little bit better.

Once Lao Liu collected the money, he patted Zhao Cheng on the shoulder with a serious look.

Rubbing his chin again and hesitating for a while, Liu Du ordered: "I won't come tomorrow. Since the construction site is in good order, it's fine for the other policemen to be with you. I have to sort out the accounts of the first phase of the construction site and present them to you." Lord Jiaoxian, just let me know if you have anything to do."

Zhao Cheng's expression became strange, "I need to help you look at this troublesome matter?"

"Do you know this too?"

Liu Dutou was a little surprised, hesitated for a while and waved his hands slightly. After the two policemen left here, he took out an account from his arms and handed it to Zhao Cheng: "Let's have a look first."

Pointing to the seat again, he said, "Sit down and watch slowly."

Why bother to read slowly, Zhao Cheng took it and flipped through a few pages casually, a little dizzy.

It was indeed rather confusing. If Zhao Cheng were the county lord, the first thing he would do with this account was to hang Liu Du's head up and ask "how much did you eat".

This makes people speechless but normal, even after 1000 years, it can be found everywhere.

Seeing Zhao Cheng behind, he was stunned. This is actually not Lao Liu's problem. He must have eaten, but it can be seen that he doesn't eat much, which is a bit of a conscience.At least there is not much difference in the food accounts of the serving civilian husbands.

Zhao Cheng closed the ledger, "There is indeed trouble with this ledger. It is obvious that when the person above handed it to you, it was a bad debt, but it needs to be balanced in your hands, and you are not very familiar with these paperwork. Once there is a problem, you will be responsible for it." Pot, is that so?"

Old Liu couldn't help opening his mouth wide. This guy actually said this after watching it for less than a quarter of an hour?
Immediately, Liu Du slapped his thigh with a sad smile and said, "Who says it's not. That's fine, let's not talk about the deeper issues, and they will never be clear. You add up the total for me, barely balance the accounts, and just pay the bills."

"Here, here, and here..."

Zhao Cheng took a pen to quickly draw some places, and said something in his mouth, "The total amount of money is 730 and five guan. It is too obvious that the balance is too obvious. The county lord has started to repair the river at this point in time. I'm sure he is more clear in his heart. It must be an official with practical experience, not a fledgling scholar. Therefore, the ashes of this project cannot be counted so much, and they will definitely be questioned. Although according to our court practice, the inquiry will be nothing, but it will remain in the heart of the county master. After such a brand of distrust, it is definitely not a good thing."

Zhao Cheng revised while sketching, "The number of white ash needs to be greatly reduced. The charcoal fire is too little, so it can be doubled."

Seeing that Liu Dutou didn't understand, Zhao Cheng said again: "Now the weather is hot and diseases are frequent, pests and diseases cause water quality and food to deteriorate easily, and food poisoning incidents are common, so the hotter the weather, the more it takes charcoal to boil the water to cook the food thoroughly. Those who can serve in this season are the mainstay of Guichi County, so even if it seems a bit extravagant to include the charcoal fee in this way, it is definitely acceptable due to the character of the county lord. After the charcoal fee is included, even if the county lord has doubts, he will not blame you, he will only hate the charcoal bureaucrats, and he will definitely not ask questions."

After slightly adjusting several other small items, Zhao Cheng quickly closed the accounts and said, "Liu Dutou can rewrite it according to this and submit it."

Lao Liu took a deep breath, stared at him for a while as if looking at a monster, and finally laughed loudly: "I remember you, I have you."

Zhao Cheng was also speechless, but helplessly, this is bondage and nepotism.Now relying on Liu Dutou's protection, if he is tricked by others, Zhao Cheng's difficulties will be doubled immediately, and another person will mess around. Not to mention being more greedy, he will mess up the project again, and Zhao Cheng will be exhausted to death. On the construction site, more civilians were cheated.

Relatively speaking, Lao Liu is already very cute, and his eating is not ugly.At that time, he was kind enough to help Zhao Cheng get back the potatoes, and calm down the rogue...

I went back to the city earlier today, so I had time to find a teahouse to sit down and listen to storytelling in the afternoon.It is about the Three Kingdoms, not the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but a collection of folk tales of the Three Kingdoms.

After a while, Zhao Cheng lost interest, but Gui Jiaoqi listened with gusto, without blinking his eyes.

This guy is Zhao Cheng's first follower after crossing, I don't know if it's fate or personality, anyway Zhao Cheng likes this guy very much.

"Old Liu doesn't catch beggars and serve, probably because the county respects public opinion and it is difficult to manage beggars barefoot. Ah Qi, you are like a beggar, why do you serve?" Zhao Cheng asked.

"Because I usually can't find a place to eat because I only care about lunch. That day Liu Dutou asked casually, and I followed to work."

Guijiaoqi's answer is simple and interesting.

At the same time, others are also very simple and interesting.Zhao Cheng ordered a plate of fried beans, but Gui Jiaoqi swallowed it a few times but refused to eat it.

"Hurry up and eat, I'll get it for you."

As a result, as soon as Zhao Cheng said this, he ate them all without even spitting out the shells.

Afterwards, Gui Jiaoqi will stay here to listen to the book, while Zhao Cheng has no interest.

"Seventh, just keep listening, and just go to my house to rest by yourself later."

Zhao Cheng got up and left, wanting to go to the academy to have a look. After all, he was in the Northern Song Dynasty, so he couldn't turn a blind eye to these things...
