The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 116
[4200+, barely counted as two-in-one make up. 】

But Jiao Shun came out from the Baigong Division, and because he didn't have the trouble of changing his manuscript five times, he returned to the handyman's office and called all the officials in the office, and began to formally ascend to the court to ask about politics.

In fact, there were not many people. Including Jiao Shun himself, there were only seven people with serious official status, and there were only six people who were actually present.

Even though the courtroom used as a living room is not that big, it still looks empty and unpopular.

Moreover, there was not even a gavel on the public case, so Jiao Shun, who was used to watching costume dramas, always felt that something was missing in his hands.

Let's not mention these details.

But at the beginning, Zhao Yan followed the agreement yesterday, and signed the contract with trepidation—to put it bluntly, it was a summary of staged work.

Jiao Shun flipped through it casually, and saw that some of the important things he had noticed during the past few days were basically mentioned in them, so he silently pressed them with a paperweight, and asked: "Besides that, have you returned recently?" Is there any official business that I need to ask about?"

Only then did Zhao Yan heave a sigh of relief, peeking at the document under the paperweight out of the corner of his eye, he didn't know whether to be happy or worried.

"cough~"

In the end, Liu Changyou let out a dry cough, and then he came to his senses, hurriedly took half a step back, and cupped his hands again: "I don't have any important business recently, only this year's Tan Jing, because the chief officer in the institute has been vacant, It has not been sent to Beijing until now..."

Speaking of this, he hastily said: "The lower officials and others are fine, but if the filial piety of the above is short, I'm afraid it will be a sad year."

Isn't this ice respect and carbon respect an unspoken rule in officialdom?

How can I still get it to the public?
Jiao Shun asked suspiciously, "Then what do you mean?"

"According to the officer, should we send a written reminder?"

This is getting more and more nonsense.

Isn't it the same as asking for bribes publicly?

For a moment Jiao Shun even began to wonder if this guy wanted to dig a hole for himself again.

But it's a bit foolish and straightforward to use this kind of thing as a trick, not to mention that he just handed in such a big deal...

Seeing Jiao Shun's doubts, Zhao Yan hurriedly explained: "Of course it won't work if written clearly, your lord only needs to issue an official document to routinely urge everyone to prepare for the cold and frost, and the next one will understand. "

tsk~
Hearing that he was familiar with the road, Jiao Shun pouted and asked: "Is there a precedent?"

"It's like this every year."

Guai Dao likes to be an official!

Since it is an official practice, Jiao Shunzi will not deliberately break it - besides, he is still wishing for more such gray income.

So he ordered: "Then you find two old articles, and I just copy one."

Zhao Yan was overjoyed, and couldn't wait to bow his head and said: "I will go to the archive room to read it later!"

It seems that even if this guy's family is not waiting for the rice to be cooked, it is afraid that they will not be very rich.

If this is the case, he can be called clean and honest - after all, the handyman's office is not those Qingshui yamen, and it is easy to get some money.

Jiao Shun asked again: "What else? Don't you have any serious business?"

"Go back to the words of the adults."

This time, Liu Changyou, the prime minister, stood up and said with a bow: "Most of the mundane affairs accumulated before have been disposed of, and some new orders have established rules to follow. It’s enough for the record—if you want to have a look at it, I will order the general manager in the afternoon, and submit it as soon as possible.”

Even though the management method of the handyman's office is to focus on the large and let go of the small, the extensive management, but Jiao Shun wanted to do everything by himself, but he was afraid that he would have to ask three or five masters to help him.

But he hasn't found even half of them yet.

So it can only be further screened: "What are the more important orders?"

"If you're new, it's probably on the list of the Ordnance Department."

A list from the Ordnance Division?

Jiao Shun suddenly regained his spirits, man, how could he not be interested in the passion of iron and fire?

"There is still an order from the Ordnance Department in our office?"

"Of course there are, and there are many more."

Liu Changyou counted the treasures with his fingers: "The gun stocks, gun slings, lead corks, the glue used to glue the gun body - and the tassels on the badges of the officers are all provided by our department. "

Uh……

This has nothing to do with Jiao Shun's dream of iron and fire.

So he didn't show up again immediately, and waved his hand and said: "I just asked some things from the department, and I don't have time to ask about them for the time being, you just follow the established rules-but remember, now the Ordnance Department , up and down and watch closely, at this time, don't hit someone with a gun!"

"Don't worry, my lord, the humble job will definitely double the supervision, and I will never dare to make any omissions."

Liu Changyou responded respectfully, but he couldn't see what he was thinking on his old face that looked like a terraced field.

"Except for those orders?"

Jiao Shun asked the question for the third time, and this time Liu Changyou turned his attention to Zhao Yan.

Only then did Zhao Yan suddenly remember something, and hurriedly came out again: "My lord, earlier because you were going to watch the politics for ten days, the reception banquet was also postponed, now that you have finished watching the politics, there should be rules Always make up for it.”

It turned out that Liu Changyou approached Wu Tianci yesterday to discuss this matter.

Jiao Shun was stunned, although he was looking forward to the imperial cook's skill, he put on airs and said: "Since I have already missed it, why should I bother you?"

"No cost, no cost!"

Zhao Yanlian said: "It's our own handicraft in our institute, let Wu Limu make a fuss...Huh? Where's Wu Limu?"

Halfway through, he realized that Wu Tianci was not there.

Liu Changyou said hurriedly: "Wu Limu is not in the office for the time being because he has been sent by his superiors."

Why was he sent by the superiors? In fact, he went to hold a birthday banquet for Shangguan.

Jiao Shun didn't bother to poke it out, after all, he also wanted to taste Wu Tianci's craftsmanship, if he put eye drops on the other party first, why would he dare to let him fix the table tomorrow?
Zhao Yan also skipped this section wisely, and asked again: "I don't know if my lord likes meat or vegetarian."

Jiao Shun has never liked meat, so he thought about it and said, "Of course it's meat..."

Seeing Zhao Yan's strange expression in the middle of the talk, he suddenly realized that the relationship was about that kind of meat.

In this regard, he is also the master of all flesh and blood.

But I'm afraid that someone will get on the line - although most of the colleagues have changed their faces, those few are still sharpening their swords in the matter.

"Let's keep it clean."

Jiao Shun chose the vegetarian meal not without regret, and then said: "I will ask the Duke's mansion for a few jars of good wine, and we will not go home until we are drunk!"

Zhao Yan hurriedly apologized and said with a smile: "Old Wu's craftsmanship paired with the good wine from the Duke's Mansion, I will be blessed tomorrow!"

I have reported these two 'private matters' before and after, and I have nothing to say when I ask again.

This made Jiao Shun quite unbelievable.

In any case, it is also the central department that controls tens of thousands of craftsmen. No matter how extensive the management is, it shouldn't be like this, right?
"Adults don't know."

Zhao Yan explained: "Since the division of the Yuheng Qing Officials Department in August, we have lost the chief officer in our office. Therefore, we have ordered all places to suspend watch making and request for money. Now, if we write to prevent the cold, I am afraid that it will be difficult for all places to report. It's coming like snowflakes."

tsk~
Sure enough, it is a bureaucracy, and it can suspend some functions for two months casually. Surprisingly, no major troubles have occurred. This sounds a bit like the US government under Chuan Bao's command?
But if it is really like what Zhao Yan said, the matter of inviting the master is imminent. At least someone needs to support him for the copywriting work and checking the accounts.

…………

Jiao Shun originally thought that in the afternoon at the latest, it would be time for Zhao Yi to pass him over to ask for details, or to give him a phased answer.

Who would have thought that he would have waited until Sanya, and he hadn't seen any movement in the department—it can only be said that he once again overestimated the efficiency of these bureaucrats
Speechless all the way.

When I got home, I heard Xiangling report Siqi's reply, and then talked about Baoyu's coming to ask for advice.

This is a bit strange, although he didn't take it very seriously when he was studying in the Red Chamber, he also knew that Jia Baoyu hated remarks about career and economics the most, and he never thought that he would take the initiative to come to ask for advice now.

In addition to the novelty, he sent Shuan Zhu to inform him.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Shuan Zhu left, guests came to the house on the back.

Fortunately, he was not a serious guest, so it didn't affect Jia Baoyu's visit—it was none other than the drunk King Ni Er.

Although the countermeasures arranged at the beginning failed to take effect, Ni Erli's hard work cannot be wiped out.

In order to reward him, Jiao also asked Wang Xifeng for two "tire repair licenses" for him, so he can enjoy the same treatment as the "official stall".

Although the profit is far less than that of usury and gambling, it is worse than a steady flow of water, and now it is a unique business that guarantees income in drought and flood.

Therefore, Ni Er specially brought a gift to the door to thank him.

He didn't dare to do anything wrong in front of Laishun, but now that it was Uncle Jiao, he was even more fearful, so he just sat down on the first slanted lottery, and he was full of auspicious words for New Year's greetings.

"We are also friends in need."

Jiao Shun said with a smile: "Don't be so restrained, you can do whatever you want on a daily basis."

Because he remembered that Ni Er was hanging out on the street all day long, and knew a lot of people from all walks of life, so he took the initiative to ask: "Do you know the poor scholar who is at home? It's best to have some accounting skills, who can write and calculate."

"This……"

Ni Er scratched his head, wondering: "There are quite a few poor scholars who are free to eat, but if you want to say that they have some accounting skills, most of them work in the shop as well."

Hearing what he said, Jiao Shun was suddenly stunned.

Previously, I wanted to find a master who was proficient in the inside story of the officialdom, so I took it for granted that I was looking for some scholar.

But now since I just want to find someone who can write for me and settle accounts, wouldn't it be more convenient to go find some accountants?
Moreover, these people are also less troubled by masters who are really calculating and pretending to be noble, which can save a lot of intrigue.

Just as he was thinking, Ni Eryi slapped his thigh and said: "By the way, the villain suddenly thought of a very suitable candidate! There is a household in Changshengfang named Zhang, who used to be the head of the village in Huangzhuang. After the lawsuit, the family is in ruins, apart from Zhang Cheng, the account is very clear."

The head of Huangzhuang?
Not everyone can do this job, if he can be hired as a master, it may not be much worse than those who specialize in this job.

but……

He has been the head of the Huangzhuang Village, but he doesn't know whether he is willing to come here to submit to him.

"It must be yes!"

Ni Er hurriedly said: "Because his son Zhang Hua owed a lot of debts, I brought people to the door several times, forcing him to almost lose his pants. If the adults want to praise him at this time, why would he be unwilling? !"

This was really a surprise, Jiao Shun hurriedly ordered him to write down the address of that person, planning to ask his own father to help investigate first.

If the situation is really the same as what Ni Er said, when it's time for Xiumu, he will take the initiative to visit the door to solicit.

Just as he was talking, he heard the gatekeeper's wife come in and report that Master Bao had arrived.

Then Ni Er jumped, and before Jiao Shun could speak, he rushed to confess his guilt and avoided going out.

Jiao also let him go by the way, and then went to greet the outside, but saw that Baoyu had already stepped through the courtyard gate and was stretching his neck to look around.

Yin wondered, "Brother, this is it?"

Baoyu didn't shy away from it, and said loudly: "I used to see Xiangling at Sister Bao's place. I haven't seen Xiangling for more than a month, but I miss it."

this kid...

I don't know whether to say that he is genuine or just outspoken.

Jiao Shun didn't get used to him, he smiled and said, "I've already taken her in as a housemate, brother, I'd better think less about it in the future, so as not to cause misunderstandings."

Baoyu's face immediately became a little stiff, and he wanted to complain about Jiao Shunniu chewing peonies, but he was a little hasty, but after all, he also knew that he was an outsider, so it's not good to make irresponsible remarks about other people's private affairs.

So he lowered his head sullenly, and murmured in response childishly.

The attacker hurriedly stepped forward with a smile and interrupted: "Second Master, didn't you come to ask for advice? Why did you talk about Xiangling?"

Unexpectedly, Baoyu became more and more listless after hearing this.

It is false that he visits to ask for advice, the most important thing is to visit Xiangling, now that he has obtained the 'Quasi-Letter', how can he still be willing to ask for advice?
So he didn't put on any pretense at all, and bowed his hands with a bitter face and said: "Brother Shi, can you lend me a copy of the political document yesterday? The master ordered me to write a current article based on it. If there is no original manuscript for comparison and reference, It’s really difficult.”

tsk~
Feelings are coming to ask for the original manuscript, but what kind of door-to-door consultation is this?
Subconsciously glanced at Xi Ren, but saw her face full of embarrassment, obviously did not expect Baoyu to act like this.

Jiao Shun originally wanted to show off in front of this brat, to get revenge on him for ignoring his 'resentment' back then, but now that he's making such a fuss, he's lost his interest.

So he said: "Brother, wait a moment, wait for me to find the original manuscript."

As he said that, he went into the room to ask Yu Chuan'er to ask for it. The third edition of the manuscript that was put away yesterday, although some remarks were added, deleted and revised, it looked very messy, but it should be used for comparison and reference.

So he rolled it up casually and went back to the courtyard again.

I never thought that after such a short time, Baoyu would be as anxious as an ant in a hot pot, wrongly attacking someone, Qingwen tried her best to stop her, and she might have run away long ago.

Huh?
Why did Qingwen come here? She didn't seem to be there just now, right?
Just when he was puzzled, Xi Rensao saw Jiao Shun coming out, and hurriedly explained: "Uncle Jiao, don't get me wrong, our master heard that Miss Shi is here, so..."

"Don't stop me!"

At this time, Baoyu said anxiously, "She must have some important business when she comes home so late. What can I do if I get a few reprimands from the master? But I must not miss her important business!"

have to say.

Although this guy often acts out of order and behaves perversely, it is not unreasonable to please so many sisters and sisters.

As the saying goes, "Pan Lu Deng Xiaoxian", except for the second item, which is not easy to verify for the time being, he actually took up about four items.

On the other hand, Uncle Jiao himself, but only the second item can be taken...

Jiao Shun didn't know whether to admire or despise him, so he stepped forward and handed him the manuscript, and confessed smoothly: "My brother is in a hurry to go, so I won't stop me, but when you finish writing the manuscript , but I also want to pass the purpose."
