Chapter 22 Heishui County Officialdom

Wang Lanling bowed and bowed, shouting:

"The grace of the cultivation of the state pastor, the humble duty is kept in mind, and he will be diligent in government affairs and do his part well!"

He has collected a lot of money now, all the money from Liu Chenwei's house in the south of the city, and the huge sum of ninety yuan he just received yesterday!

The front is okay, but the money received from Zhang Boli in the back is really corruption.

The governor and the prefectural magistrate were directly beaten by the people of the six doors, not to mention himself as a petty official.

I heard that the board of the six doors is really strong, and there are many martial arts masters in this world, and it is not a matter of lying down for two days if the board is solid.

In order not to be caught in corruption, you can only do things beautifully, a little bit more, and wash your name.

This kind of thing can't be delayed for a long time, so I'll write an article when I go back today and see if I can get this thing done.

Wei Xueli on the side somewhat understood that there was a reason why this young man could be an official and be valued.

Can't learn, can't learn, this is talent!

"Lord Wang, come here, this is the new rice that was just harvested last year, this jar of sauce beans is a special supply for the big shops in the county, and no one doesn't like to eat it."

Wei Xueli beckoned Wang Lanling to the place where the grain was placed, and pointed to a forty-centimeter-high wine jar and introduced it.

In addition to the jars of sauce beans, there are also various jars and gourds.

"This altar is sesame oil, mellow and fragrant, and this altar is mutton fat, which replenishes deficiency and moisturizes dryness."

"This bag is coarse salt, which is used for cooking by the government office, and if Lord Wang eats by himself, he will use this bag of fine salt, and the adults above and the barracks will eat this."

"This gourd is filled with old vinegar, and this gourd is filled with soy sauce."

"These are two catties of mutton that were just killed today, Lord Wang, do you want two legs of mutton? The whip was all asked to leave by the people in front, and there was still a bowl of eggs, which I originally kept, if Lord Wang wanted it, ......"

Wang Lanling quickly said: "No need, it's on fire these days." ”

After Wei Xueli heard this, he didn't continue to sell, and said: "My lord, see if it's enough, the court is sympathetic to his subordinates, and those like adults who haven't received spring pay can receive more subsidies." ”

Grain is not valuable, and more than 900 million peasants support less than 100 million idlers, and grain is very rich.

Oil, salt, sauce and vinegar and the like are also worthless, practical to the point of being practical, but not as convenient as coins.

Wang Lanling said: "I don't think everyone wants grain, so how about giving me some rice?" ”

Wei Xueli agreed, "Yes, there is an application form here, Lord Wang signs it, and it is done by pressing a handprint." ”

The two of them came to the table, and there was a handwritten application form from the master, which said how much food they would receive.

Wang Lanling received fifty catties of noodles, which was the largest subsidy he could receive for his official position.

His annual salary is 150, and he can buy more than 5,000 catties of grain, not counting the rest of the subsidies given by the imperial court.

One dollar can buy more than 30 catties of grain, and a dime is three catties, but the circulation of materials in this world is very poor, and there are basically no places where food is needed, and grain cannot be sold at a big price.

There are two main types of grain, and millet can be ground into flour.

People here like to eat noodles, don't like to eat rice, rice porridge can't be full, rice can't be eaten enough, things with high water content are more likely to be hungry, not as good as steamed bread.

Noodles can be made into dough, dumplings, steamed buns, pancakes, flatbreads, noodles, and baked cakes.

Rice is too oil-intensive and troublesome, and everyone doesn't like to eat it.

Rich families eat rice, poor families eat noodles, noodles are more suitable for children and the elderly than rice.

The disadvantage of noodles is that it is easy to gain weight, but in this day and age, this is definitely not a disadvantage.

In the era of various vitamin deficiencies, the value of noodles must be higher than rice.

Tian Yuanfang took two people to load the goods together, and Zhang Zhu also helped put these in the car, and after touching the heavy sauce and vinegar jar with his own hands, he was even more envious of the life of the official family.

This life with oil, salt, sauce and vinegar and white flour is really enviable, her family can only receive some rice grains, and she has to pull a bag of wheat and go to the city noodle mill to make noodles.

Wang Lanfeng's spring salary only has money and some rice grains, no oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, no good noodles, and no two leg of lamb and lamb ribs.

The same is true for Tian Yuanfang and others, although the actual salary gap between officials and errands is not large, the real difference is very obvious.

Wei Xueli saw that Wang Lanling was short of food, so he said: "Lord Wang, I will receive more rice and noodles, if you don't dislike it, I can sell it to you at a low price." ”

Wang Lanling quickly said, "Oh? That's good, but I don't know what the price is? ”

This turtle grandson is afraid that he wants to sell the grain he collected from Guo Juli, the water affairs secretary, to himself at a low price.

Wei Xueli saw that the young man was interested, so he said with a serious face: "There are six hundred catties of rice here, and they are all calculated according to the lowest price of rice, plus they are all eaten by us officials, how to say that it costs fifty yuan in the market, I will charge you forty yuan, you must not talk about this matter with others, otherwise it will be difficult to say." ”

Wang Lanling's surface showed a look of interest.

In my heart, I scolded this king and eight calves to death, and dared to sell himself for forty yuan for twenty yuan, do you really think that you are young and easy to bully?

Yes!

I'll let you know what a stunned green is!

Wei Xueli saw that Wang Lanling was hesitating, so he persuaded in a low voice: "If the adults can't finish eating, they can sell it to others, and when the time comes, twenty or thirty yuan is not an easy thing?" ”

You turtle grandson, you have made twenty or thirty in the middle of your hand, right?

If you think about it carefully, there are really a lot of places with oil and water in this small Heishui County!

"Good! Just forty! I'll write a receipt, and the adults will ask them to go to the dung division in the afternoon to find me to get the money. ”

Come on the, I'll see if you can get the money!

If you dare to come and ask for money, I will dare to sue!

"Good! Readily! Although he really wanted to collect the money now, seeing that Wang Lanling was willing to write a receipt and give the money in the afternoon, Wei Xueli didn't think much about it.

The receipt wrote two numbers.

Forty dollars.

Pick up the round.

The former is convenient to look at, and the latter is to prevent the numbers on it from being incorrect, and when encountering this kind of problem, the more strokes there are, the easier it is to see the handwriting.

It is also necessary to press the mudra, and when the time comes, the old men will use a magnifying glass to open their eyes to see the imprint.

After loading the grain into the car and pulling it away, Wang Lanling opened the money box when he went out.

The master of his family did not do his job, made false accounts, was absent from work, and more importantly, he died three months ago, and he had been kept secret by the previous director, just waiting for airspace pay.

Tian Yuanfang also only learned about this matter in the past few days, because the master has not been here a few times, and everyone is not familiar with it.

Anyway, the money belongs to Wang Lanling, and no one objected.

There are a total of one hundred and twenty yuan, which is about the same as one hundred and five of Wang Lanling.

Wang Lanling's one hundred and fifteen, and the one hundred and seven of the county order, are not much different on the surface, but there is no need to compare others, and they are completely crushed.

The wages here are calculated according to one year, Wang Lanling took thirty yuan, and the remaining ninety yuan was packed in a money bag, so that Zhang Zhu was hidden in a cotton jacket.

After going out, Wang Lanling directly took out ten yuan and gave it to Zhou Wende.

"I still have something to do, I'll talk to Lord Zhou in detail another day, this is ten yuan, and after Lord Zhou receives the rice grain, it's good to transport it directly to the division, I won't wait."

Zhou Wende smiled and accepted the money, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, then I'll go in first, and I'll put things on later." ”

Ten yuan is not a loss, although it seems that you can buy three hundred catties, but in fact it is more, and what Zhou Wende sells is not ordinary rice grain, it is the material he received this time!

The Civil Code Division is responsible for holding spring festivals and other celebrations, and receives much more materials than others, and there are always a few days of the year when there will be some oil and water.

The canteen of the Water Affairs Division is definitely different from that of the Dung Division, and the canteen of the Dung Division is definitely different from the canteen of the post house, and the canteen of the Mindian Division during the Spring Festival will have plenty of oil and water the next day.

Zhou Wende asked for ten yuan to sell, and it must be more than fifty yuan.

The things of the imperial court are not things, this is the consensus of Lord Zhou, Lord Wei, and Lord Guo.

Even if the things given to them by the imperial court are worth 10,000 yuan, as long as they can't use them, they dare to sell them for a few yuan in exchange for wine money.

However, the strongest of the best are the stronger of the strong.

After Zhou Wende signed and received the rice noodles, Master Wei walked over, squinted slightly, and whispered: "Lord Zhou, this rice noodles ...... this year."

Zhou Wende smiled and clenched his fists and said: "I'm sorry, Lord Wang was talking about rice and grain outside the door before, and I saw that Lord Wang needed rice noodles to put in the pot, so I agreed to give it to him for ten yuan and half for half and half of it." ”

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

"Dare to ask...... Which Lord is it? And when did it happen? Master Wei asked cautiously, maybe because he offended a villain who could sneak around and shoot horses, he couldn't sleep well tonight.

Zhou Wende said casually: "Lord Wang Lanling, who came in just now, I told him before he came in, and I thought that he wouldn't ask for it after receiving the rice noodles, but I didn't expect to give me money after I went out, and let me send it over after I received the rice grain, which is really fast." ”

It's over, Zhou Wende added with emotion:

"This son is definitely not a thing in the pool!"
