Red Mansion, Second Master Lian is too despicable

Chapter 45 45 call
After saying that, Jia Lian turned around and walked away gracefully, and the two petty officials also left and followed him in.

One of the two is a servant and the other is a slave, which is equivalent to one being a regular worker and the other a temporary worker.

The official workman was the guy who led Jia Lian to the Secretary's Office, and Zaoli was the guy who was pulled and scolded by the sister-in-law of the tea stall outside the door.

The officer who brought Jia Lian here saw that there was no one else around, so he hurriedly explained.

"Sir, I didn't mean to lure you there!"

When he said this, the guard was very embarrassed and acted very sincerely.

Jia Lian understood what the young official wanted to express.

After all, if this matter is not explained, it will inevitably cause misunderstanding;

Anyone who encounters this situation will think that he is being taken advantage of because of face.Otherwise, how could there be such a coincidence in the world; as soon as I took office today, I was arranged to meet such a place, and then I went to pay the bill.

It's a bit similar to the way old employees who are new to a new company bully new employees regardless of their position, just to beat them up.

Even if you are a leader, you will still have those little tricks that get you beaten!

When Jia Lian arranged for a department director's driver to wash his feet, he heard how a group of office directors, accompanying secretaries and drivers joined forces to exclude the new leader.

Although this matter is very bragging, Jia Lian has never been an official and cannot verify the truth or falsehood.But since people dare to brag like this, then at least from their perspective, it is just the right thing to give the leader a blow.

As for whether the leader feels it or cares about it, I don’t know.

If it were Jia Lian now, it would be fine if the clerk didn't tell him, but if he did, Jia Lian would inevitably have to think too much.

However, as a human being, you must have a balanced mentality!
Either the money is not spent; if it is spent, whether it is for face or for other reasons, you cannot spend it all without looking regretful.

If it makes people feel stingy, the money will be wasted, and it will become a thankless thing.

Of course, you must remember that if you can do it without spending money, then you must do it without spending money.And if you spend money, you must spend it well.

Jia Lian would not feel sorry for the five taels of silver, but he also thought that the money could not be spent in vain.

The best way to get closer to colleagues is not only to solve their problems, but more importantly, to stand up for them and to unite with them.

Jia Lian did not answer the officer's question, but asked the Zaoli.

"I see that the business outside the door is bleak. How come there are so many people coming here to do business?"

Zaoli really didn't expect that he would be asked questions by the leader, and he was a little speechless for a while.

The officer was afraid that Jia Lian would misunderstand him at this moment, so he immediately answered diligently.

"You don't know, the business is not as bleak as you think. If you really can't survive, you won't do business in this alley. Everyone will bring some chewed food to the family, which is enough for them to survive! "

The officer's tone was filled with resentment, and his words suggested that the people outside were a little confused.

When Jia Lian saw this, he knew something was going on here. If someone was wronged, he would not have the confidence to complain. At least from his perspective, the officer had a reason to complain.

Jia Lian asked with interest. "Oh! Then why are you making such a fuss over just a few taels of silver?"

This opened the servant's chatterbox.

"Hey, people's hearts are not enough. These guys were poor neighbors earlier. They couldn't live any longer, so they started this purchasing business. The former minister of Honglu Temple, Mr. Zhang, was still a well-connected person who could get some money. Expenses also form the rule of monthly settlement!”

Jia Lian nodded after hearing this, understanding that it was because of the care of the former Minister of Honglu Temple that the rise of this small business outside the door was possible.

As he spoke, the officer gave a thumbs up gesture.

"Later, the boss was transferred to the governor of Guangzhou! So the flowing money was gone!"

As he spoke, he pointed to the main hall of Honglu Temple.

"But the money is gone, but the expenses are still there. The newly appointed Minister of Honglu Temple, Mr. Xu, was squeezed out by the Ministry of Rites with the same background as the Jinshi. The most embarrassing thing is that he can't compare with the boss!"

Speaking of this, the guard clapped his hands with complaints on his face.

"Sir, when the treatment is slightly worse, he will lose his temper, so no one dares to lose money to him. Even if he doesn't have the funds for 'tea, charcoal fire, and foot money', he will not dare to neglect it. Those of us who are small businesses can only pay on credit every month, while those of us who are demolishing the east wall to pay for the west wall keep the rules as before."

As he spoke, the officer lowered his head and glanced at Jia Lian. Jia Lian also understood that something was wrong. There was no such thing as the government having no money. Why shouldn't Mr. Xu know that if he had the ability, he would ask for the funds himself? If not, naturally Just squint honestly.

Why is it so difficult for a bunch of policemen to do this?

This is not right.

But Jia Lian didn't express his position or ask any questions. It had nothing to do with him.

When the officer saw that Jia Lian was silent, he continued to talk to himself.

"Hey! The people outside don't know that the yamen doesn't have these expenses. They think it's the time before when they didn't feel bad about spending public money. So as soon as we feel uncomfortable giving money, they naturally stop doing it!"

As he spoke, he looked like his heart was not as old as before, and he sighed.

"One by one, I don't remember when we made a lot of money in the past. Since we petty officials were greedy for money, we didn't even give them some soup. Therefore, if there is a slight delay, it will be embarrassing!"

After saying this, the clerk patted his thigh, as if he was scorning the declining social customs and ruin of outsiders.

"Now, there are no more Yueyue's rules as before. Every time I take something, I get into trouble!"

And when the clerk mentioned the word "rules", he deliberately bitten the word.

It seemed that he was instructing Jia Lian intentionally or unintentionally.

Jia Lian listened carefully, but instead of listening to the petty official's complaints, he listened to the taste leaking out of his words.

There is no need to believe what the clerk says may be true or false, but the information that is accidentally leaked is the most useful.
