Villager of Daming

Chapter 43 The money is first sought by the master
Lunch is full of fish feast, and even the staple food is fish dumplings and pickled fish rice noodles.

Just after dinner, a boat came upstream.

The people on board were armed with bows, crossbows, knives, shields, and spears, and their eyes were alert.

One after another, the boxes were moved down and sent to the head of the village, and the leader handed over to the head of the village, and the boxes were filled with silver ingots.

A total of 7000 taels of silver were sent, Zhu Wentian stood by and watched, worried.

Why not copper coins?In case of issuing treasure banknotes, where will the money be spent?
"The prince was worried that the village would not have enough money to make soap, so he sent the money first." The leader explained the situation.

"Zhou Sheren, Your Highness, did you say anything else?"

The head of the village is in a complicated mood, did you give the money first?Do you still use the prescription?

"Say soap is good, rock candy is good, if there are any new good things in the future, remember to send them over and write another letter."

Zhou Sheren took out the letter. His name was Zhou Zong, and he was carrying a knife.

Instead of being a normal passer-by, he is very good at fighting and taught the prince Zhu Biao to practice martial arts.

"Okay." Li Chang took the letter with both hands, put it in his arms, and watched the other party silently.

"Food, hungry! Hehehe!" Zhu Wentian reminded, don't stand around stupidly, he came here at noon.

"Yes, eat, don't worry, Hanhan. Zhou Sheren, the village is poor, there is nothing good, you guys have a meal!"

The head of the village hurriedly invited, and the other party came with thirteen people, plus thirteen pairs of chopsticks.

"So disturbing." Zhou Zong readily agreed.

With a mission, he observes the people in the village to see who looks like a hermit, this fool is definitely not, and he will look at other people while eating.

He and the twelve others washed their hands first, and so did the chief of staff. The silver was counted just now.

Zhou Zong saw the scented soap, and now there is no more scented soap worth [-] Wen in Nanjing.

This thing is made by other people's villages, and the village can use it whatever it wants.

He went to the main table and exchanged nods with the county officials.

The other twelve people sat next to each other and joined a table. When the dishes were served, they were hungry.

When I just moved the box, I saw the vegetables and smelled the fragrance.

What's going on in the village today?Open a big seat.

When I hear the boss greets people, I understand, entertain the county magistrate.

Zhou Zong was a little confused, what about people?Where did the expert go?At the main table there is a chief, a fool, and four officials, that's wrong!

With doubts, he asked: "Master Zhu, is there anyone else?"

"Zhou Sheren, there are clan elders sitting at the main table on weekdays, today Li Zhixian and others are here, accompanied by me and the village guards."

The chief's mood was much more stable, and he realized who the other party wanted to ask, and he was by his side!
"Okay, how are the village guards, Hanhan?" Zhou Zong squeezed out a smile.

"Hey! Hey hey hey, Hanhan, me! Mmmmmm!" Zhu Wentian cooperated.

"Our silly smiles are innocent, Zhou Sheren, try this stewed carp." Li Zhixian warmed up the scene.

The other officials ate and enlivened the atmosphere. Don't look at them also visiting the village, but the village belongs to their own county and they play their home games.

The fish cooked in various ways is really delicious, even Zhou Zong dared to drink after giving away the money.

"Food, rice." Zhu Wentian ate two bites of vegetables and asked for a staple food.

A bowl of rice noodles and a plate of boiled dumplings were brought to him. The dumplings were freshly boiled, steamed and fragrant, and boiled with fish.

From time to time, the village chief adds food to Hanhan and takes care of him.

Zhou Zong finally reaped the rewards. The villagers in Xiaqiu Village were paid well and had a lot of food, which they could eat.

Other than the occasional smirk, it's not annoying at all.

After Zhu Wentian finished eating the rice noodles and dumplings, he hurriedly left the table without being with him, pretending to be a fool.

Seeing the fool leave, Zhou Zong seemed to relax a bit.

"Master Zhu, today is the banquet for Li Zhixian and others?"

Zhou Zong took a sip of the fish soup, turned his head to look around, there were tables laid out one by one, and asked casually.

If this is the case, he will go back and tell the prince that officials go to the village to waste money and people.

"What's the matter, whether they come from Lizhi County or not has nothing to do with how the village eats. I eat like this in Xiaqiu Village."

The head of the village told the truth that sometimes the county officials only added two dishes.

Li Zhixian echoed from the side: "Zhou Sheren, it's true, I didn't wait until I entered the village to eat well, we came here every now and then.

Xiaqiu Village is really rich and has few people. In order to free up manpower, the village cooks and eats together.

If you don't believe me, if you don't leave today, you will still eat like this at night, and it will be the same tomorrow morning. We will go back tomorrow. "

"Is Lizhi County not busy in the county?" Zhou Zong heard for the first time that officials went to the village to eat and stay in the village when they had nothing to do.

"The current season is not bad, mainly because I eat well, my head is clear, and I work quickly.

I'm leaving tomorrow because the village is making smoked fish and dried fish for me.

Tomorrow we will take it back and divide it for one point. Everyone has fish to eat, otherwise we cannot afford fish. "

Lizhi County is very honest, we are waiting for fish, there are a lot of them, and the people in the yamen will give them all.

Zhou Zong: "..."

so direct?It’s not enough to just eat, and you have to take it back?

He looked at the other three officials, and the three nodded in cooperation, yes, it was agreed, there are smoked fish and dried fish.

"I'll stay too, Chief Zhu, is it convenient?"

Zhou Zong decided to observe more, the prince told him when he came, and acted cheaply.

"Oh! That's great! If Zhou Sheren doesn't say anything, I'm still thinking about how to invite him."

The head of the village looked pleasantly surprised, and said to himself that you should live here!Do you think you can find someone if you stay?

After the meal, the villagers were busy, and the person who collected the tableware pushed the cart and put it in the dishwashing shed.

The people who wash the dishes work in an assembly line, some are responsible for one side of the water, some use a rag to wipe the soap and then wipe the tableware, some wash it a second time, and some dry it.

Wash the tableware and rinse it with clean water before the next meal.

Zhou Zong's thirteen people dispersed and wandered around.

"Yichang, but let me handle the bill for you?"

Lizhi County knows that there are a lot of transactions in the village, and a lot of things are consumed by eating big pots of rice.

The village chief hesitated for a moment: "Okay, oh, thank you! It happened that 7000 taels of silver came. If there is too much money, the accounts will be messed up."

If you refuse, someone should think about it again, but this account...

He took out the account book and put it on the table: "I'm sorry, everyone."

The master book came up first, and I was finally able to help the village. Let you see my professionalism.

He opened the account, his eyes widened instantly.

what?Are they all grids?The horizontal ones are the balance of the current period, the amount incurred in the current period, and the balance at the end of the period.

On the first vertical line, write the subject, and horizontally debit, credit, debit, credit, debit, credit.

Vertically below, wheat, ginger, rice, copper coins...

There are numbers next to it, one, two, three, four...

Why not one, two, three, four...

He flipped through, and the more he flipped, the more he was surprised, this fraudulent account is much more difficult than before, so detailed?

"Uh... look at the magistrate." Master Zheng realized that he was dying, so he stepped aside.

Li Zhixian stepped forward: "Even if the account of a village is messy, he can... um..."

Li Zhixian turned a few pages: "Let's take a look, this... ah..."

The head of the village laughed secretly beside me, helping me to check the account?My account is taught by Hanhan.

It's okay to say numbers like one, two, three, four, five, but try to get used to numbers like one, two, three.

The current accounts are in order, and mistakes are easy to see.
