A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Bao Zheng went to the latrine, and on the way back, he reflected on his attitude and felt that his previous attitude was a bit too much and he needed to tone it down.

He walked outside the duty room and found that it was quiet inside, and the anger that had been suppressed rose again.

Is this collective laziness?

He went in angrily, and when he saw everyone looking at Su Yan in a daze, he shouted: "Look at what he is doing? Ugly! How many words are there?"

The deputy envoy of the Third Division shook his head at him and said bitterly: "My lord, 3.67 million yuan..."

He is bitter because he is embarrassed. As the deputy envoy of the Third Division, he didn't know how big the hole was this year. On the contrary, Su Yan, a young boy, knew all about it.

But this is no one’s fault. The Song Dynasty’s finances collapsed during the Zhenzong period. The emperor was okay at first, but later he seemed to be a completely different person, using the money in the treasury as a splash.

So from then on, anyone in charge of money had to compete with the emperor.

After decades of fighting like this, everyone is tired. The end of every year is a dark day. No one wants to ask how big the hole is, because there is no way to repair it.

But Bao Zheng was different. As soon as he came to the Third Division, he vigorously eliminated redundant officials, and then came various reforms. It became common for the emperor to be rejected when asking for money, and the Third Division could be regarded as having a new look.

It's just that everyone is used to not asking how big the hole is. It will naturally appear by the end of the year anyway, so today I was sprayed by the boss.

Su Yan!

Everyone looked at Su Yan.

Bao Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then said uncomfortably: "Is the calculation correct?"

There is no need for him to be jealous of talents, not to mention that Su Yan is a scumbag at a young age. By the time he can threaten Bao Zheng, Lao Bao will probably be dead long ago.

The deputy envoy of the Third Division smiled bitterly and said: "My lord, my subordinates are watching."

If he makes another mistake, he, the deputy envoy, will have no shame in continuing.

Bao Zheng took the piece of paper, looked left and right, then raised his head, and stared at Su Yan expressionlessly.

The room was quiet, and Su Yan was very nervous when everyone was staring at him.

"Su Yan..."

"The official is here."

Su Yan shivered and quickly stood up straight.

Bao Zheng forced a smile on his face and asked, "Do you do it every day?"

Su Yan shook his head: "Xiaguan is busy every day and doesn't do calculations specifically."

Bao Zheng said in confusion: "Then how do you know how much you have lost?"

It's hard to calculate the deficit. First comes the income one after another, and then the expenses...

The most troublesome thing is the expenditure. The Song Dynasty is so big, and the expenditure items are scattered and trivial. There are a bunch of them here and a lump somewhere, which makes people crazy.

Usually this work starts near the end of the year, but this year Bao Zheng brought it forward, catching everyone off guard.

And just when everyone was being sprayed with shame, Su Yan stood up and used a precise number to make Bao Zheng's questioning come to nothing.

"The official is by your side..."

Su Yan has been working for Bao Zheng from the beginning. His official position may not seem to be high, but he has access to many in-depth data and issues, which is crucial for his future career.

"Xiaguan summarizes various income and expenditures every day..."

This was not Su Yan's job, but he took the initiative to do it.

"Later, Xiaguan saw the deficit and occasional surplus, so he calculated the income and expenditure, once a month...I wanted to give it to you at the time, but I was afraid that you would get angry when you saw it..."

As the Third Secretary, when he sees a deficit, he will definitely get angry, and then be devastated.

Su Yan was a little afraid of Bao Zheng, so she kept holding it in.

Bao Zheng came over and reached out to pat his shoulder. Su Yan subconsciously dodged, causing Lao Bao's hand to miss.

this……

Everyone's head was covered with black lines.

Are you afraid of Bao Zheng to this extent?

Su Yan also realized something was wrong, so he came back with a red face, as if to say, "Pat me again."

Bao Zheng said with a straight face: "Have a good time doing things."

This was a rare compliment. Everyone's eyes were shining, and feelings of envy, jealousy and hatred were spreading.

Bao Zheng finally patted Su Yan on the shoulder and went out.

"oh!"

As soon as he stepped out, the room was filled with joy.

"Su Yan, you are showing off today, and you want to treat me!"

"Yes, Prime Minister Bao doesn't like to praise people. If you are praised today, you will be successful tomorrow. Remember that we have been together..."

"A treat, a treat, let's go to Fan Tower!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

"Fan Lou can make Su Yan poor."

"Then... let's eat pot stickers, ten for each person."

"Okay, I want pot stickers. Go home under the setting sun and eat them warm while walking."

"gone."

"..."

Bao Zheng stepped to the side and watched as a group of young officials came out surrounded by Su Yan, happily going to eat at the big house.

"Ms. sir, we are getting old!"

The deputy came over and said with some regret: "Looking at them, I was reminded of my youth, but it's a pity that I will never return."

Bao Zheng also had a dazed look in his eyes, and then returned to normal.

"They're going through what we went through, but... they're fine, better than we were at that time."

"Su Yan...Ms., it's a bit unfair to work around you, after all. What do you think?"

Bao Zheng said: "He is still young and even a little shy. It is impossible to go out with such a temper. It is better to grind it out."

The deputy envoy smiled and said: "You have access to many secrets, and your temperament...can temper people. Su Yan has been by your side for a long time, and others are jealous and feel that it's time to replace him."

Bao Zheng laughed and said: "I have a bad temper. Most people don't dare to express their anger. Su Yan didn't say a word, but his words and deeds were extremely appropriate... Let's leave it like that for now."

The Third Secretary, this position is more proud than the Minister of Household Affairs in later generations, but in fact it is the Prime Minister.

Being able to work beside Zaifu is a qualification and an important learning opportunity in itself.

"I have been watching him secretly, but I just couldn't tell... When he said this today, I realized that this man was silent... and found out many things about the Third Division..."

"Ms. sir, this is a thoughtful person!"

"He has the intention, but it's more about hard work. He was born as a coolie, and he worked hard day and night when he got the chance..."

"Those people envied him and always said he was lucky..."

Bao Zheng looked at the sunset and suddenly smiled: "I have felt that I have good luck since I can remember, and my parents love me... When my parents passed away, I realized that luck was actually fake. There is something more powerful than luck. It’s just your ability. No matter how bad your luck is, it won’t wear you down..."

The deputy nodded and said: "Yes, luck is the key. When others are playing, Su Yan is doing things. When others are lazing around, Su Yan is doing things...Every drop of water will penetrate the stone."

The two were silent for a moment, and then the deputy envoy said: "Ms. sir, I heard that my uncle's family is planning to marry Su Yan?"

Bao Zheng shook his head and said: "Su Yan is not worthy of being married to my uncle's family. This matter still lies with Shen An. My uncle has been suffering for many years. Once he was released, he was worried about gains and losses. He was worried about endless troubles, so he wanted to find an ally. Come and feel at ease. But his family is a descendant, and he doesn’t dare to contact important ministers, especially military generals. In the end, Shen An, who is neither good nor bad, is the most suitable, so he takes advantage of Su Yan. "

He said this very calmly and was not worried at all about Shen An being reported.

The deputy said with a smile: "Mr. sir, is this luck or ability?"

Previously, he said that luck is the only thing that matters, but now the deputy envoy asked Bao Zheng about Su Yan's marriage.

This is a bit like using the spear of the son to attack the shield of the son.

"It's still the same thing."

Bao Zheng said calmly: "Su Yan is hard-working and down-to-earth. If not, how could Shen An think highly of him? If he didn't think highly of Su Yan, how could the Cao family like Su Yan? Can you tell me if this is his ability? ?”

"Your Majesty, this is indeed my skill."

…

Su Yan went home against the setting sun. After entering the alley, the neighbors all laughed when they saw him.

"Su Yan, where is your wife?"

"Su Yan, I have a niece from far away here. Your father has agreed to meet her someday."

"Su Yan, you have delayed your marriage for so long, do you want to marry the daughter of a high-ranking official? But they don't like you!"

"..."

In Shen An's eyes, Su Yan is still young, but in this era, many men of his age have children.

Su Yan returned home with a smile. Su Yi had already prepared a meal and was waiting for him.

There was no meat in today's dinner. Seeing that his son ate less, Su Yi asked with concern: "But don't you like eating without meat? Then my father will buy meat tomorrow."

He was still in the habit of working as a coolie and was always reluctant to spend money, so the Su family's food became dull.

But young people like to eat meat and oil, so Su Yi feels that he has treated his son badly.

"How about... I'll be a father tomorrow and go to the dock."

Su Yi felt that it was shameful for his son to support the family. He was bored at home and just went to the dock to hang out with his old friends.

"Dad, I invited my colleagues to eat pot stickers earlier, and I was full."

"Oh! A treat? Okay, if you want to get closer to your colleagues, it's best to treat me."

Su Yi felt relieved, so he talked about the trivial matters of the neighbors in detail until the sky turned completely dark.

After washing, Su Yi came out and saw his son in a daze in the yard.

"It's cold at night, go back quickly."

Su Yan turned around and said, "Dad, you have nothing to do."

"Well!"

"The imperial edict says that people should have something to do. If you have something to do, it's not a waste of time to come to this world. Having nothing to do is wasting your life... You want to go to the dock, right?"

Su Yi lowered his head, feeling that he was causing trouble for his son.

He held his hands together and said, "Being a father makes my bones sore."

Su Yan smiled and said: "Dad, if you want to go back to the dock, you can go back, but you can't work so hard anymore, you have to work idle."

Su Yi raised his head and read a book www.uukanshu.net. He hesitated for a moment and said, "It will be embarrassing. They said that my son is an official, but his father is carrying bags at the dock. It will be embarrassing for you."

He lived to this point, and all his energy was placed on his son, so he refused to cause him any trouble.

Su Yan said: "Dad, just go ahead... It would be shameful for you to be bored at home. I will take my sister to help others when the imperial edict comes."

"No way... Dai Zhao is a high-ranking official, how can he work for others?"

Su Yan said seriously: "Dad, I think... doing things is just doing things, and it has nothing to do with being a human being. Even if the emperor is just pretending, he will go to the fields to cultivate... This is not shameful."

Early the next morning, Su Yi saw his son off and prepared to go to the dock.

"But Mr. Su?"

Mr. Su?

Su Yi was locking the door. When he heard the sound, he turned around and saw a well-dressed man.

The man cupped his hands and said, "I have met Mr. Su."

Su Yi had never been called that before. He rubbed his hands and said awkwardly, "Ignorant person... I don't dare."

The neighbors all started to go out to work, and they all gathered around when they saw what happened.

It is times like this that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors.

If this man bullies Su Yi, everyone will definitely help him.
