Han family achievements

Chapter 421 Your Young Master

Several petty officials were confused and had no idea how to respond to this young man who was dressed in an unusually noble manner.

"Give,"

Liu Bian seemed to be a completely familiar person. He took out a pack of snacks from his arms and said, "It is said to be the best snacks in the city. I will eat them as usual. You guys have a try."

The three clerks were stunned for a moment. Although they didn't understand the new chief's tricks, he was their current 'master'. They hesitantly took it and said, "Thank you, chief."

Liu Bian hummed and said, "Where is my duty room? Call everyone to my duty room."

One of the clerks said quickly: "Mr. Liu, please come here. The chief clerk has gone out and the master has not arrived yet. You can sit still and I will inform you right away."

Liu Bian followed the clerk forward in a leisurely manner and said, "Okay, what's your name?"

"I am Tao Ergeng." Tao Ergeng said.

Liu Bian nodded, came to the door of the housekeeper, opened the door, and said: "Okay, from now on I will be the housekeeper. The affairs of the past six months, including account books, official documents, county records, etc., will be sent to me. Come."

Upon seeing it, Liu Bian was stunned and said, "Is it so young?"

This room cannot be described as small. There is only one table, and one person can stand in front of the table. It is so big, and it is so crowded that Liu Bian feels very uncomfortable. When he opens the door, there is a musty smell.

Liu Bian immediately covered his mouth and nose, waved his other hand in front of him, frowned and said, "Is there a bigger and cleaner room?"

After being the emperor for so many years, Liu Bian had long been accustomed to a spacious and bright environment. He really couldn't stand this kind of room that looked like a latrine.

Tao Ergeng was startled, then looked at Liu Bian's exquisite clothes, and immediately realized, "Mr. Liu, um, this is the only room on duty, but I can clean it for you and remove the smell."

Liu Bian felt very uncomfortable, but thinking that he only had one month, he said: "Please clean up and make me a pot of good tea. I will buy the tea myself."

Liu Bian said, turned and left.

The three clerks watched Liu Bian leave and stood at the door, looking at each other.

"He must be a descendant of a wealthy family from Luoyang City!"

"Look at what he's wearing. I've never seen anything like this before. I probably can't find another one in the plains."

"The background is definitely unusual. He is either from a famous family or a child of a high-ranking official!"

"Anyway, he is a living ancestor. None of us can afford to offend him. We should serve him carefully."

"Yeah, if we make him unhappy, we will be ruined..."

The few clerks talked to each other and watched Liu Bian disappear from sight.

Liu Bian was not going to sell tea. He wanted to go back and get any good tea in Pingyuan County.

When I walked out of the door, I came face to face with two middle-aged people who were quite disheveled and had messy hair.

'There must be something going on...'

Liu Bian took a look, nodded with a smile, and passed by.

Cui Jun was sweating anxiously and said to Wang Cheng, the housekeeper next to him: "We have to find another way. In a few days, I will go to Jinan to see if I can get some. You can keep an eye on them." Home, when I come back, I have to entertain them..."

As he said that, he couldn't help but look back at Liu Bian, who had already taken a few steps, staring at his exquisite clothes with bright eyes, and suddenly whispered: "Who is this person? Which family is he from?"

Wang Cheng also looked at it, shook his head, and said: "It looks very strange, I have never seen him before."

Cui Jun immediately realized the situation, coughed slightly, and said: "Please note what I said. By the way, if your boss comes, you must not let him see things that you shouldn't show him." ”

"Your Majesty knows,"

Wang Cheng followed Cui Jun closely and said, "The Zhao family promised to help with the seeds, but they want the land in the east of the city."

"no!"

Cui Jun flatly rejected it and said: "That land is a fertile land after dredging. The state animal husbandry has already stipulated that it should be resettled for the victims of the disaster. No one is allowed to touch it."

Wang Cheng smiled bitterly and said: "Master Fu, if you don't give it to them, the victims will be resettled. Do they have a place to live, some food and drink, and seeds to cultivate?"

Cui Jun's face was solemn and ugly, and he said: "I can't give it to them anyway! There is no discussion on this matter!"

The two of them said that and walked into the back hall.

When Wang Cheng came out, he could only sigh and turn to the household room.

Tao Ergeng was already waiting. When he saw him coming, he quickly went up to greet him and said, "Master Wang, Mr. Liu is here."

"Mr. Liu?"

Wang Cheng looked around and said, "Are you on duty?"

Tao Ergen shook his head and said: "Mr. Liu thinks that the room is small and smelly. He may also think that our government office does not have any good tea, so he went out to sell tea."

Wang Cheng froze on the spot, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Who is this person? On his first day in office, he ran out to sell tea because he disliked this or that. Do you really think that Pingyuan County is a brothel and can come and leave whenever you want?

Wang Cheng was dissatisfied and said calmly: "Who is he? Have you seen clearly?"

Tao Ergen looked back and saw that there was no one there, so he stepped forward and said in a low voice: "She is dressed in exquisite clothes that no one has ever seen before. She is either rich or noble, and she looks like she is in her early twenties."

"Exquisite costumes?"

Wang Cheng suddenly became even more dissatisfied and said: "We are a small boss in this shabby place. Why should he wear exquisite clothes? Is he here to do something?"

Tao Er didn't dare to say anything. This was a matter for them as officials, and it was not for petty officials like them to get involved.

Wang Cheng suppressed his anger and said: "Forget it, let's take good care of this young master. As long as he doesn't cause trouble and doesn't act randomly."

Tao Er even laughed with him, prepared a bunch of documents and account books, and sent them to Wang Cheng's desk.

The chief clerk is an official name that has no official establishment and is generally used in various organizations. He is the chief official's personal secretary, staff, confidant, or a miscellaneous clerk, to name a few.

Therefore, Wang Cheng did not have a room and shared a room with the housekeepers.

Liu Bian took back the tea and returned to the house leisurely.

At first glance, Wang Cheng saw this young man who was dressed gorgeously and had a friendly demeanor. He seemed to be able to smile at everyone. He glanced at the jade pendant around his waist and frowned subconsciously. Then he looked at him with a smile on his face. He stood up, raised his hand and said: "Wang Cheng, the landlord of the lower official household, has met Mr. Liu."

Liu Bian looked at it with a smile, nodded and said: "Master Wang, um, okay. Give me the account books for the past six months, as well as the income and expenses for the next six months, I want to see them."

After saying that, he went straight to his check-in room.

Seeing him like this, Wang Cheng quickly said: "Mr. Liu, um..." Liu Bian stopped and said habitually: "Are you having difficulty?"

Wang Cheng was startled and said: "No, no, it's that. Chief Liu, shouldn't he go see the Lord and report his duties first?"

"Oh,"

Liu Bian suddenly realized and said with a smile: "Okay, let's go see Mr. Fu first and lead the way."

Wang Cheng responded and walked in front to lead the way.

Liu Bian still held the tea can in his hand and looked around the government office.

When he went shopping before, he just walked on the main road, and did not observe the corridors and the various rooms.

'Li's room, workshop...'

Liu Bian counted silently in his mind and nodded secretly. In terms of restructuring in this area, Pingyuan County has done a good job in advancing the reform, and the functions that should be performed in all aspects are basically complete.

Wang Cheng, who was walking in front on the right, kept glancing behind him from the corner of his eye, looking at Liu Bian's shoes and pants, and he frowned.

From head to toe, the new boss looked very noble, and at first glance he was not from an ordinary family.

'I'm afraid it's really a noble person...'

Wang Cheng worriedly thought to himself, who could do anything to such a noble young master in a small place like theirs?
If he acts recklessly, the entire Pingyuan County will be in trouble.

Wang Cheng led Liu Bian to the back hall and in front of Cui Jun's duty room. He stopped and said, "Master Liu, we're here. Wait a moment, I'll go and report."

Liu Bian nodded and looked inside through the crack in the door.

When Wang Cheng saw Liu Ben's peeping openly, he felt even more worried and had to go into the house.

"Come in." Just a moment later, a deep voice came from inside.

Liu Bian walked in, looked at the environment first, and nodded secretly: It is a simple value room, and the smell is elegant. He should not be a greasy person.

Cui Jun sat upright, with a square face and a dignified expression.

Seeing this 'Liu Bian' walking in the courtyard as if he were shopping, without any awe, I felt very uncomfortable.

Liu Bian quickly came to his senses and said to Cui Jun with a smile: "Master Cui, the subordinate Liu Bo is here to report on his duties."

Cui Jun saw that he was extremely rude without even raising his hand. He immediately became angry and said in a cold voice: "I don't care which family you belong to or who recommended you. This is Pingyuan County and everything must be done according to the rules. If you mess up Come, I will give you a detailed review on your assessment and send you back and forth wherever you want!”

Liu Bian didn't expect to receive a slap in the face, but he wasn't angry at all. He nodded with a smile and said, "I'm from Xianguan Province. Mr. Cui, don't worry."

Not afraid at all!

Wang Cheng's heart skipped a beat, this 'Liu Bo''s expression showed that he was not afraid of the test at all, he was just afraid that he had a lot of background!
Cui Jun became even more angry and said in a deep voice: "This is the best! You should familiarize yourself with the affairs first, pay in and out on time, and at other times, don't cause trouble! In Pingyuan County, you can do whatever you want without being an official. If you cause trouble No one can be protected by this officer!"

Liu Bian was a little surprised. Is the Pingyuan County Government quite hostile to him?
Is this local protectionism? Or is there any secret?
Liu Bian murmured in his heart, with a normal expression on his face, and said: "Thank you Mr. Cui, I will take note of it."

Cui Jun frowned, was Liu Bo mocking him?
So bold?
Wang Cheng on the side was frightened. The boss in his heart was so courageous that he openly provoked the prince! ?
"Fu Jun,"

Wang Cheng knew that Cui Jun also had a bad temper, so he hurriedly interrupted and said: "Master Liu is here for the first time. I will take him to familiarize himself with the affairs first."

Cui Jun suppressed his anger, snorted coldly, and waved his hand.

He really wanted to warn this young boy again, but he was also worried that it would be self-defeating. If this young man got into trouble with him, he would be unable to advance or retreat and would lose face.

Wang Cheng pulled Liu Bian out, and when he was out of the door, he smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Liu, you, you are new here, you can't talk to the Lord like this."

Liu Bian said oh, realizing that he was indeed a little impolite just now, he immediately smiled and said nonchalantly: "I will stay for a month. After one month, I will serve the wine in person, apologize to Mr. Cui, and come to Luoyang in the future. , if you have any questions, just ask me, I can still say a few words in Luoyang.”

Wang Cheng clearly felt that Liu Bian did not take Cui Jun seriously, and he felt even more uncomfortable. He was suddenly startled and asked with his eyes wide open: "Master Liu, one month?"

Liu Bian nodded and said, "Yes, I will be transferred back to Luoyang in one month."

Wang Cheng was startled for a moment, then suddenly enlightened, and said with an extremely sincere smile: "Mr. Liu, if you have anything to do, just ask your subordinate. If you can do it, I will definitely do it for you."

Liu Bian thought for a while and said: "Besides the account books and the like just now, there is indeed one more thing. That is, the check-in room is too small. Give me a bigger one. Let's have tea every half an hour and have snacks every hour. , don’t make the same snack. Don’t disturb me when I’m doing something, and remember to inform me in advance if you have anything to do. By the way, don’t bother me with unnecessary people. Time is tight. , I don’t want to have useless friendships..."

Wang Cheng just said it casually, but he didn't expect Liu Bian to make so many demands in one go.

After enduring it for a while, Wang Cheng couldn't bear it anymore and said with a stiff face: "Well, Chief Liu, this is Pingyuan County, not Luoyang. Basically, even the lower officials can't fulfill your requirements."

Liu Bian raised his eyebrows, hummed, and said, "I understand. Can I change the room if it's due?"

Wang Cheng looked at Liu Bian and said: "Well, no, the value rooms of the housekeepers in each house are the same. If our house is changed, the other value rooms are difficult to explain. If they are all changed, there will not be so many, such big value rooms. , and you have to report it to the Lord."

Liu Bian sighed and said helplessly: "You just made a vow, but in the end, you can't even help me, right?"

Wang Cheng smiled unnaturally and said: "I'm an official..."

Liu Bian waved his hand and did not embarrass him. He continued to walk forward and said: "Prepare the things I want and bring them to the check-in room. Tao Ergen."

Tao Ergeng, who was standing at the door not far away, ran over and said, "Master Liu, I'm here."

Liu Bian took out a bag of money from his arms, threw it to him, and said, "Go and buy some of the best snacks, and a fish, and let the kitchen braise it. Remember, the taste is light and salty, and there must be soup."

After finishing his words, Liu Bian turned around and walked towards the check-in room.

Tao Ergen held the money bag and watched Liu Bian without knowing why, and then turned to Wang Cheng.

This was the first time he encountered such a request.

Wang Cheng had no choice but to say: "Go ahead and do it. I'll talk to you in the kitchen."

"Yes." Tao Ergen responded and trotted away quickly.

Wang Cheng looked at Liu Bian's check-in room and saw that Liu Bian had already entered. He seemed to be disgusted and started wiping, and suddenly had a headache.

This noble young master is obviously very delicate, and he is very particular about food, clothing, housing and transportation. He only hopes that he will not cause any trouble in this short month.

'One month, one month passed quickly. Wang Cheng comforted himself in his heart.

Liu Bian really disliked this check-in room. The musty smell was hard to get rid of, and it was so crowded that he had to sit on his knees. It was really uncomfortable.

After putting the tea leaves away, Liu Bian cleaned up the water stains on the table, and then checked the pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

"It's really hard to make do."
