Be a master through ancient times

Since taking over the task of the budget book, Chuci has been very busy in the past few days.Although he hadn't written this stuff before, at least he followed a project during his internship and read how the budget book was written.Now it is not difficult for him to follow the gourd, mainly because it is too cumbersome to do.

Fortunately, the men sent by Zhao Kuan are quite capable. They have participated in the construction of wharves in other provinces before and know what to do.In this way, they kept discussing day and night, and they finally wrote out the budget on the third day.

After Chu Ci dismissed Zhao Kuan's men, he ordered someone to send one of the budget documents to the magistrate's yamen for Lu Zhifu to review.In addition to financial allocations, it is also necessary to turn to local wealthy businessmen for alms.There is a fixed amount of money, if the prefect of Lu does not come with so much money, the government's finances will have to pay more.

Chu Ci was not going to take a dip in this muddy water, so it didn't make sense that prefect Lu could sit back and reap the rewards without doing any work.If even his parents and officials don't come to pay, then the two or three years will be considered a waste of business.

After dealing with everything, Chu Ci reached out and took a rice dumpling, peeled it and ate it.After the Dragon Boat Festival a few days ago, Chu Ci was still too busy to go back in the dark, only to find out when they were eating zongzi.He also asked why the yamen is always so fragrant recently. It turned out that other adults were wearing sachets.

Since Chu Ci is the chief officer, and there is no woman in the family, before the holiday, other adults from the Tixue Division gave Chu Ci's family a basket of rice dumplings. Those who ate them felt physically uncomfortable after smelling the rice dumplings these days. .

But this does not include Zhang Hu and Chu Ci, Zhang Hu is because he loves to eat anything, as long as it is food, he will not refuse anyone.But Chu Ci is because of convenience, he has no time to eat these days because he is rushing to budget, so he directly puts a few baskets of rice dumplings beside him, peels one when he is hungry, and the others do the same.Chu Ci guessed that these people walked so quickly, they must have been hurt by eating zongzi.

After eating, Chu Ci sat on the chair and stretched. He only moved a little, and all the bones in his body creaked.This movement startled Chu Ci, it seems that he has been sitting hard for the past few days.

Thinking that lack of exercise may lead to various diseases such as osteoporosis, Chu Ci, who still wanted to live for many years, jumped up and began to trot around the room, and at the same time, his hands kept crossing and expanding, quite like an old man doing morning exercises the taste of.

Don't tell me, it's really effective after running for a few minutes.At least that's what Chu Ci thinks, the stiff and sore muscles on his body are much better now, and his body is a little more relaxed than before.

Before Chuci could continue to practice his career, there was a knock on his door.The boy outside shouted: "Master Tixue, please see Ye Qi, the Guo County sub-road patrol. I wonder if you are free now?"

Chu Ci was taken aback for a moment, then he straightened his clothes while breathing calmly. After his breathing became smooth, he sat back on the chair and shouted solemnly: "Please come in."

As soon as the words fell, Ye Qi opened the door and entered the room.

"I have met Master Chu." Ye Qi saluted respectfully. He is more than 40 years old, and he was mentioned by Chu Ci during the last assessment, so he can be regarded as Chu Ci's confidant.

Chu Ci raised his hand and asked him to sit down: "Master Ye, come here today, but what's the matter?"

Ye Qi nodded and said: "My lord, since you announced that people can use fish and shrimp instead of Shu Xiu, there are many more children in our Guo County schools. These children study hard and study hard, and they will definitely become the pillars of the country in the future." Talent, made great contributions to the imperial court."

Chu Ci chuckled, and said, "Could it be possible that Mr. Ye came here just to praise Chu?"

Ye Qi shook his head in embarrassment, he just wanted to say something nice first, and then tell the whole thing, which might reduce Chu Ci's anger.Now Chu Ci obviously doesn't like to go round and round, so it's better for him to speak bluntly.

"It's like this. In the past, the fish and shrimps given to the masters by the common people would be transported to Yurong Fang to make Yurong pills for sale. Then the money from the sale would be kept and distributed to the masters at the beginning of each month. But in the past two days, some teachers in several village schools have reported that the common people are no longer willing to use fish and shrimp as beam repairers, but want to pay directly."

"The lower official was very puzzled by this, so he inquired about it, only to find out that it was because someone recently bought all the fish in their village, and received it at a price that was two cents higher than the market price. The common people felt that... In this way, it would not be worthwhile to hand over the fish, so I thought about selling the fish and paying the monthly Shuxiu for the money.”

When it was stipulated at the beginning, most of the people were very happy and prepared to hand over fish to replace Shu Xiu.Chu Ci was afraid that he would not be able to get rid of the stink if he handed it in within a day, so he asked the sub-inspectors in various places to make a schedule, and then handed in fish on different dates in different places.In this way, the business of Yurong Wan can continue.

Now that the price of fish has risen, the common people are thinking of breaking the contract, and Ye Qi's face is a little uneasy.He was worried that losing the fish handed in by Guoxian County would make Yurongfang's business difficult, so he thought of coming here to report it first, so that Chu Ci would know what to do and plan countermeasures in advance.

After listening to Chu Ci, he agreed with Ye Qi's meticulous work, and explained the problem he was worried about. He said mysteriously: "Master Ye, do you think it takes so much to do business? fish and shrimp?"

Ye Qi only thought for a while before he understood.It turned out that Lord Chu himself pushed up the price of fish, no wonder he wasn't nervous at all.

Because of the precedent in Guo County, Chu Ci also sent letters to the branch patrols in other counties, explaining the situation and telling them that people can pay whatever they want.As long as the value of the collected items is worth the value of Shuxiu, they will be collected and disposed of by the local Tixue Yamen. As long as the accounts are recorded, they can be exchanged for the corresponding money at the Tixue Division.Don't ruin the way of the peasant children to study because of a little self-interest.

Anyone who received the letter couldn't help sighing, their master Tixue, who was born in a peasant family, really did not forget his roots, and cared so much for the common people who belonged to the same peasant family.Presumably in more than ten years, Zhangzhou Mansion will have a group of noble sons from poor families.

Chu Ci himself didn't know what they were thinking, he was receiving one of Zhao Kuan's men at the moment.This subordinate is dressed as a Confucian scholar, and he speaks in a straightforward manner, with a lot of twists and turns, which makes Chu Ci feel a little uncomfortable.Although he also uses these in writing articles, it is really uncomfortable that there is no distinction between written language and spoken language.

In particular, in what this subordinate said, there was always a sense that Chuci seemed to owe him something. The few examples he gave were either spurned by others for failing to keep his word, or dying for not repaying his debts.When Chu Ci was listening to him impatiently, suddenly he had a flash of inspiration, and probably knew what he was referring to.

He immediately took the pen and paper, brushed a few lines of big characters on the paper, folded it and sealed it in an envelope after it dried.He handed the letter to this person, and then said: "Sir, just take this letter back and hand it over to Mr. Zhao, and say that I already understand what he means."

After the subordinate thanked him, he left in a hurry. Chu Ci was sweating like a waterfall. If he wanted to make ice, he just said it directly. Did he need to hint at him in a roundabout way?They also specially made up some stories to criticize Sang and scold Huai, it is simply not a person to do things!

……

Zhao Kuan calmed down after getting the ice-making method, and was already organizing manpower to explore the sea area.The prefect Lu went to collect donations from the local wealthy businessmen also went smoothly. I heard that those wealthy businessmen had tears in their eyes when they left the yamen that day, and they looked like they were in pain.However, Chu Ci also understood that these people do feel distressed, but it is not like this. As long as the prefect Lu wants to continue, he must give both kindness and power.They have lost a fortune right now, but when the pier is built, they will be able to reap the corresponding rewards.

There is no need for Chu Ci to deal with the business of Jian Dock and Yurong Pill, and no one dares to act like a monster because of his thunderous tactics when Tixuesi returned.Everything went so smoothly, so smooth that Chu Ci felt a little bored.Going to the yamen every day to handle simple official duties, and then patrolling the yamen daily, the rigid life makes people have no fighting spirit.

Chu Ci, who almost lost his enthusiasm for life, began to torment his three students.There are a lot of homework assigned every day, involving a wide range of content. Even because Zhang Wenhaizhi's classics are different from his, he has started to study another subject.

As a rough-skinned and thick-skinned adult, Zhang Wenhai was abused the most. His current state of study is comparable to that of the few days before the test for talent, the kind where a layer of skin would be peeled off if he didn't pay attention!

Zhang Wenhai only dared to protest in his heart against this kind of mentally oppressive study. He privately felt that Brother Chu was deliberately torturing him because of that incident!

Speaking of that incident, Zhang Wenhai felt strange.That day he just asked Chu Ci what kind of girl he likes. Chu Ci stared at him for a long time with a half-smile, and finally said, "I like tall and handsome, with both civil and military skills, outstanding resourcefulness, and calm personality." kind of."

When Zhang Wenhai thought about it, he immediately threw himself into the five bodies that Chu Ci admired.Such a heroine in the female middle school, it is estimated that there is no one in the entire Wei Dynasty!As expected of Brother Chu, even his hobbies are different from ordinary people.

But Chu Ci was not moved at all, and left after giving him a caring look for his admiration, and then began to torture him crazily.

After several days, Zhang Wenhai finally couldn't take it anymore.At the dinner table, he asked Chu Ci to ask for a day off.

The other two fellow sufferers looked at him at the same time, with the words "you are not enough friends" written in their eyes.Zhang Wenhai curled his lips, what do these two little kids know, he has suffered more, okay?

Chu Ci was noncommittal, and only raised his slender eyebrows, motioning for Zhang Wenhai to explain the reason.

Zhang Wenhai said: "It's like this. I have been in Zhangzhou Prefecture for many days, and I have met many people. One of the students said that he would introduce me to a school in Zhangzhou Prefecture. There are often some activities held in the society. It’s the same as we were at the beginning. I thought about learning, and I still need to communicate more, so I agreed. He sent a post this morning, saying that it’s tomorrow’s club, and he just took me to get to know them. Brother Chu, look ?”

Chu Ci thought to himself, as expected of Yuan Shan's famous "friendship master", he was able to make a lot of friends in just a short period of time.He nodded in agreement with Zhang Wenhai's request, and generously let him go on vacation.But at the same time, he has a request, that is, to Zhang Wenhai to write down the poems and articles that this society will make when it starts tomorrow, and bring it back for him to have a look.

This request was very simple, and Zhang Wenhai readily agreed.Originally, those who started the society would write down poems and articles to share together, and when they encountered good ones, they would hand-copy a copy and take it home to appreciate slowly.

Since leaving Yuanshan, he hasn't participated in similar activities for a long time. He is busy with business and studies every day, which is really sad!

Seeing his bright and sad look looking at the sky at a 45-degree angle, Chu Ci couldn't help but sigh that the second-year middle school youths are much happier.Fu Ming'an and Chang Xiao heard this, and looked over curiously, wanting to get an explanation.Chu Ci pointed to Zhang Wenhai, indicating that the person in front of them was a pure second-year middle school youth, which made Fu Mingan and Chang Xiao look confused, so did the second-year middle school youth refer to stupid or dumb?

Early the next morning, Zhang Wenhai dressed up like a flamboyant peacock and went out.When he went out, he said enthusiastically that he must shine in front of everyone, but when he came back in the evening, his eyes were full of fatigue like a castrated rooster.

When Chu Ci asked him why, Zhang Wenhai said: "Brother Chu, I finally understand why you sometimes look at us with that look!"

Chu Ci was confused: "What look?"

Zhang Wenhai sighed, looked at a tree in the yard with angry and helpless eyes, and said in his mouth: "Hate! Iron! No! Success! Steel! Ah!"

Chu Ci laughed, why did he have such a profound experience in one day?He is now very curious about what Zhang Wenhai experienced today.

Zhang Wenhai shook his head dementedly, indicating that he just wants to be quiet now.Then he went into the room and lay still on the bed thinking about life.

Chu Ci asked Xiao Chengzi: "What happened to your young master?"

Xiao Chengzi covered her mouth and said happily: "Master Chu, the young master brought back a few poems, you can read them first."

Chu Ci dubiously took the paper from Xiao Chengzi, unfolded it, and immediately smirked, only to see that there were several poems written on it, but none of them was admirable.How to put it, it is probably the level of "Daming Lake, Minghu Lake is big. There are lotus flowers in Daming Lake, and there are sharp corners on the lotus flowers, which can be poked and jumped".

Chu Ci felt that he might have joined a fake club!
