Water Margin farming to become powerful

Chapter 413

Sun Xin strolled with Hu Cheng and Le He to the flower hall of Hu's Village, and sat in the hall to watch the snow fall outside.

Hu Cheng hurriedly asked someone to bring a warm breakfast.

In the past few years, I have opened a pharmaceutical workshop with Sun Xin. The economic conditions of Hujiazhuang have improved a lot, and the supervisory committee has seized the power. The eldest brother Hu Cheng was originally a hard-working middle-aged man, but now he is busy again and again. Rich and free, he also developed a lot of hobbies at home.

Now Hu's villa has been refurbished several times inside and outside, the flower hall has been repaired very grandly, and there is a troupe in the house, which specially performs Dengzhou's new shadow puppet show for Hu Cheng.

Hu Cheng has married two concubines again, and his body is quite fat visible to the naked eye. It may be difficult for the Flying Tiger to fly, but this day is much more comfortable than Sun Xin.

Le He and Sun Xin are both busy people, and they don't have much time to sit and eat breakfast like this. While eating breakfast, Le He said, "Zong Ze will retire and return to his hometown next month."

Sun Xin nodded when he heard the news. In his memory, Zongze's old age should have happened a long time ago in his previous life. Unexpectedly, in this time and space, he stayed in Dengzhou for seven years in Zhenghe, which was much longer than he remembered. , I don't know if it's because of the changes in time and space history, or because he has made Dengzhou very peaceful, and Zongze has less chance to anger Zhao Ji than in his previous life.

Although Zong Ze has different ideas from Sun Xin, he can be regarded as an official who understands Sun Xin's mind in Dengzhou.

In his hands, Sun Xin basically obtained the management rights of the four counties of Dengzhou. When he heard that he was going to leave, Sun Xin's first reaction was to ask: "How many uncertainties do we have about the four counties of Dengzhou?"

Le He was delighted when he heard it, Sun Xin was planning to drain Zong Ze dry before sending him away.

"The county governments of Muping and Huangxian still have some powers. If the Zhongda can be enlightened before leaving, it will be much easier for our supervisory board to do things."

Sun Xin in Dengzhou is definitely going to run his own iron-clad force. That is where his base camp is. He is already a little dissatisfied that he hasn't completely taken it down yet. It's best to get it done before Zongze leaves. good.

Although after Zong Ze left, most of the next Dengzhou officials could only be restrained by himself, but no one was willing to take the initiative to provoke the risk.

So Sun Xin didn't even have time to eat breakfast, so he asked Hu Cheng for a study, asked the dealer to grind his ink, and started writing letters to Zong Ze.

Dengzhou government office.

Zong Ze sat in the yamen and read the official documents. The piles of money and food accounts handed in by his subordinates were all very good-looking, but Zong Ze couldn't lift much joy on his face.

There is no doubt that Dengzhou's taxes this year can be paid in full, but when these account books were delivered, he knew that there must be a lot of manipulation by the Supervisory Committee, and he was determined not to see it.

The accountants of the supervisory committee are not just for nothing. In comparison, he, the master of money and food in Dengzhou Prefecture, can't even calculate the accounts, not to mention that group of guys may have been bribed by now, so they can't even count.

The current business in Terengganu Prefecture is prosperous, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. It stands to reason that he can have such a situation after governing the party for a few years. In any case, he should get some relief in his heart, but he can't be happy now.

The reason is that these were not completed under his governance, but almost all the credit of Sun Xin's supervisory committee.

The supervisory committee, the supervisory committee... I love and hate this supervisory committee Zong Ze. What I love is that this supervisory committee has indeed done something for the people, and it has made him a lot easier as an official, and even the entire Dengzhou Officials benefit from this supervisory council.

It is a blessing to be an official here, there is almost nothing to worry about, and there are some things to get, although it is not as rich as other places, but it does not damage the reputation, and at the same time, the number is not too high. If it is too little, everyone is willing to accept it, and there is no difference between being an official here and providing for the aged.

What's hateful is that Zong Ze's view of the Supervisory Committee's actions is not the right way, and the Supervisory Committee obviously has a heart of disobedience.

After looking through the account books for a while, Zong Ze already knew that there would be absolutely no problem to be found, and it was boring to read.

All kinds of things in the Dengzhou government now have this feeling more and more. There is almost no difference between them and them. Everything has already been controlled by the Supervisory Committee.

Zong Ze completely closed the ledger, called Li Tai, a guest in his mansion, and asked his officials to make a pot of tea, and put it on the chessboard to chat.

Even in the official government of the Song Dynasty, the county magistrates in other places are not so leisurely. If they dare to chat with their own friends at work, they will definitely be impeached by the officials, but in Dengzhou, no one cares. These, even those in Dengzhou have almost become cold teeth, even if the officials go to the washroom to have fun in the middle of work, there is no problem.

The actual employment rate of state government officials is less than [-]%, and they have already left work early for various reasons, or went to run their own businesses or go for leisure and entertainment. Those like Zongze who are still on the job are already Is very responsible.

This can be regarded as a benefit for Dengzhou officials.

Li Tai walked in from outside the house with a smile, "Master Tongju, but what's wrong with the accounts?"

This fellow was originally a Juren from Henan Province. After many years of examination, he failed to be an official. He was simply young and not in a hurry to enter Beijing, so he circled among the shogunate in various states and counties. That's right, Literary and romantic, not the kind of mediocre and stupid officials, so they can still hang out in officialdom.

Last year, when I traveled to Dengzhou on Litai, I accepted Zongze's shogunate.

Zong Ze saw that he had some abilities, so he didn't regard him as just a teacher, but he often talked with him as a friend, and called him to talk when he had nothing to do.

Zong Ze wanted to check the accounts today, and Li Tai wanted to prepare him for inquiries, so he went into the mansion with Zong Ze early and waited.

Hearing this, Zongze sneered: "What problems can he find out from Sun Xin's accounts?"

Li Tai also understood it a long time ago, nodded and sat down, and Zong Ze asked his hands to make a pot of tea.

Soon, the golden tea soup was brought up, and the two of them poured a cup each, and when they put it to their noses, they could smell the delicate fragrance slowly wafting away.

This tea is also Dengzhou Fried Tea produced by the Supervisory Committee.

It is reasonable to say that Dengzhou is not suitable for growing tea. It can be seen that the supervision committee has developed a method of frying tea. The fried loose tea tastes much better than the steamed loose tea, although it does not have the best taste of round tea. It is fragrant, but it is very convenient to use, and you can enjoy it after brewing. In addition, the Supervisory Committee has really dominated the public opinion in Dengzhou at this time, so once this product was developed, it was vigorously promoted, and it soon became Sun Ji’s favorite. Another star product.
