After waiting for a few minutes, a car came back in front of me.

I saw two people pulling a cart with sacks and boxes of grain, and the queue in front of them also moved closer.

Seeing the person pulling the cart and the old man dressed as a scribe sitting in the car, Guo Juli gave Wang Lanling a score.

"That's Mr. Chengnan Academy, why don't you say hello?"

Wang Lanling didn't know each other, and when he heard that it was someone from the school, he said: "I'm from the north of the city, and I don't know the school teacher well. ”

Guo Juli showed a strange look, took a puff of cigarette and said, "You are so good at learning, why doesn't the teacher hurt you and make you tired?" ”

Whether Wang Lanling's arithmetic is good or not has nothing to do with the teachers in this world.

This issue is not suitable for further discussion, Wang Lanling changed the topic and said: "The salary in the academy is not low, right? ”

Guo Juli smiled, shook his body slightly, and knocked the long cigarette stick in his hand on the wooden car board, knocking off some cigarette ash.

"What is high, it's good to eat with a mouthful, the skillful craftsman academy is okay, the junior high school and high school teachers don't teach well all day long, so they know that they are talking about government and politics in vain, and it is not easy for our county gentlemen to find their mother-in-law."

Scholar's specialty: vainly discussing the government

In this world, political history is not taught, and Chinese textbooks teach simplified Chinese characters and patriotic essays, reading comprehension and idioms, with a focus on mathematics.

The road is walked by people, and literati who have more leisure time just like to comment on this country.

Wang Lanling and Guo Juli walked forward again and said, "Lord Guo, are you coming here with three people, and there are no scribes to follow?" ”

Guo Juli said: "Our water affairs department is a good hand at arithmetic, and the scribe can write articles, and I am more at ease to come to this kind of thing personally." ”

Wang Lanling said that he understood, after all, it was a matter of money, and everyone should be careful.

Only by paying wages in person can the greatness of leadership be reflected.

Of course, Wang Lanling felt that this old man must have to take a little cigarette money in exchange for cigarette money.

The official character has two mouths, and you have to eat a little up and down.

Chatting and chatting, it was the turn of Guo Juli and the people of the Water Affairs Department.

After waiting for more than 20 minutes, I saw Guo Juli and his subordinates carrying a box out.

Wang Lanling was very puzzled, "Lord Guo, why is there only one box, and this grain is gone?" ”

Guo Juli put the sealed box on the car and explained to Wang Lanling, who came over: "There is no shortage of food at home, so I sold it to the warehouse at a low price. ”

Wang Lanling was speechless, that's not your grain alone......

It's hard to say anything about this kind of thing, Wang Lanling said: "It's my turn, my family is still short of rice and grain to cook." ”

Hearing this, a person in line behind Wang Lanling took the initiative to come over and said, "Lord Wang, if you don't dislike it, wait for the extra grain from our side to sell it to you at a low price, do you think it's good?" ”

Wang Lanling saw that it was someone from the Civil Code Division, so he said, "I can't use it much by myself." ”

Zhou Wende said: "It's not expensive, six or seven hundred catties is more than ten yuan, we will take it back to occupy a place, and give it to you, Lord Wang." ”

Wang Lanling felt that it was okay, he roughly understood the price of goods in this world.

"Okay, then I'll go in first, and I'll talk to Master Zhou later."

"Well said, well said."

The Civil Code Department is responsible for counting the household registration of the population, holding ceremonies, registering marriages, registering births, registering cattle, sheep and livestock, and registering occupations.

The grain production in this world is very high, on the one hand, the quality of crops is excellent, and the technology of growing grain is constantly improving.

In several states near Longzhou, they are all kind of large plains, which are very suitable for farming.

There are also several grain-producing areas overseas, and most people are farming, so the price of grain is very low.

But the poor still have no food surplus.

Most of the land is concentrated in a small number of people, such as Wangjiabao, a thousand people who live on fertile fields on the outskirts of the city and some shops and businesses in the city.

The people in charge of farming do not buy grain, but basically every household has a few fields and vegetable gardens, which is basically enough for their own food.

There is very little waste, and people here eat far less extravagantly than in modern society.

The people who bought the grain were mainly artisans and city vendors, or some people who were relatively lowly in the household register.

The rich and noble families in the big cities will also buy some grain, but this small county town does not even have a city wall, and there are a lot of fields that can be used in the east, west, north and south, and the distance is not far.

Grain is very cheap, there are many people who farm, and the food in the country's homes is just enough, and they will not be too rich.

Although the old emperor forbade the sale of land, the custom of eating out of households was well circumvented.

The old lady of Wangjiabao got such a big family business from various "relatives" by various means after making a fortune.

The rule that fertilizer and water do not flow into outsiders' fields is suitable for many places, such as if anyone in the clan wants to sell the field, their own family members will come to the door to discuss.

There is an alternative, centralized approach that prevails here.

The clan power is still strong, it is impossible for outsiders to buy land in unfamiliar places, and various towns and villages will be targeted by locals.

The seedlings in the field were eaten by cattle and sheep, the melons and fruits in the field were stolen, and all kinds of trivial things could collapse with tosses.

Basically, whoever has a good family will naturally get land from some shabby settlements, such as widows and children of dead men, or rich peasants who have no men in their families.

The cost of food is mainly reflected in firewood, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and sugar.

The most is the cost of firewood, although salt is very important, but every household can afford to eat, not to mention the level of gold, the level of eggs is not there, it is slightly more expensive than better rice, and adding salt to meals is not luxurious.

Two meals a day.

Meat is also an expense, but the countryside basically doesn't eat it, and the ordinary people in the county town are at the level of once a month.

The main expenses of money are mainly reflected in clothing, cosmetics (women), drinking flowers and wine (men), red and white ceremonies (especially a lot, I can't sleep because I am worried about the things that follow the ceremony), and some things are messy.

In fact, the countrymen don't need money, they pay taxes and pay food, and they save money on food and clothing, and they usually cut some firewood for some oil and salt, and then take some chickens, ducks, pigs and dogs for some fabrics, which are basically self-sufficient.

***

Wang Lanling walked into the warehouse of the Cangdian Office, where several sword-wielding guards stood, and in the nearby open space were neatly stacked of tall and thick sacks.

The scribes of the Kuradian Institute stood on either side of a table, and sitting in front of the table was the boss of the place, Wei Xueli, the head of the Kuradian Institute.

"It's Lord Wang, Jiu Yang!" Wei Xueli stood up, and when he walked in front of Wang Lanling, he said to his subordinates: "Take the list of the big dung division and show it to Lord Wang." ”

Wang Lanling knew who was in charge of the house before he came in, and at this time he also said politely in Mandarin: "Lord Wei, if you meet for the first time, please take care of me in the future." ”

Wang Lanling found out that the people here liked him very much about speaking Mandarin, as if he didn't speak Mandarin, he wouldn't be Wang.

Sure enough, after Wei Xueli heard Wang Lanling say official words, his face became even more agreeable.

Although everyone is a local, after there are more locals, there is no sense of intimacy when they speak their hometown, so they want to listen to the serious official words that can be promoted and make a fortune.

Wei Xueli's master handed over a list, and Wang Lanling took the list and glanced at it.

There are five people in the big dung division, and there are six people in Wang Lanling.

The rest of the guys and the like are all hired by themselves, and they are not organized.

But spring pay is not so simple, such as some places where things will set aside a rich amount of money to operate.

This money is not much, and there is not much to spend after hiring people, so how to hire people depends on the official.

Unlike those landlords, as long as they don't involve some illegal things, it will not be too difficult for them as officials.

"A little more." Wang Lanling looked at the list and said suspiciously: "The final total amount is twenty-one more than the actual amount, I don't know where it came from." ”

Wei Xueli showed an expression of admiration, and quickly said: "Wang Da is quick to think and wise, it is really admirable, this money is not from elsewhere, it is the state pastor who read the documents you wrote, and knows that you have a bad relationship with your family, and there is no spring salary to take this year, so he used the state capital's [talent fund] and sent you some money." ”

County - County - State

Wang Lanling said quickly: "It turned out to be the kindness of the state pastor, and the lower officials are really flattered!" Thank you! ”

Wang Lanling excitedly wiped the tears that didn't exist at all with his sleeve, and his heart was extremely uneasy.

This fucking thing is known from above, and this monitoring ability is a little too strong, right? How else can I be financially free?!

You can report to the top for big fart, I'm under a lot of pressure!

Wang Lanling didn't know if he had been found out about taking bribes, he was very nervous now, for fear of being beaten by the people from the six doors.

Thinking of this, he immediately said to Wei Xueli: "Where is this state capital in us?" ”

Wei Xueli was very puzzled, he said: "Our gate is open to the south, and the state capital is in the west of us. ”

Wang Lanling quickly bowed to the west, clasped his fists and said: "Humble Wang Lanling, always remember the cultivation grace of the state pastor!" ”

Wei Xueli's tiger body was shocked, and his eyes widened!

This......

Is this a mastery in officialdom, shooting horses across the mountains?

This son, terrifying!!
