Chapter 15 Wang Yuan's "Happy Lord" Life
The happiness of becoming a landlord of the Shi clan lasted for a total of four hours and thirteen minutes, well, it's about that long!
There is no way, at night, sleeping in his own big mansion in the city, Wang Hou was actually woken up by freezing!
Cao Cao is not bad to him, the big mansion of Wujin, more than 30 rooms plus two trips to the Chase Shop, the specifications can be comparable to the real Qianshi-level officials, and the house is not empty, the furniture inside is complete, but this Han Dynasty furniture is really anti-human! Hard big wooden bed, the three-sided screen on the bed does not have much warmth, cotton cloth has not been promoted in this era, Wang Hou's level is not enough, there is no leather fur clothes and quilts, and the cover is also made of hemp, this thing is a pleasure to wear a cover in summer, and it is full of torture in winter.
The house is not very warm, this year Cao always looks at bamboo slips, although the selfless Cai Lun Cai Gonggong has simplified the papermaking technology to extract, but like cotton, this thing has not been promoted, glass is thousands of years later, to Wang Hou blocked the window, actually still damn hemp cloth! Can this thing block the wind?
In the whole spacious room, the warmth also comes from the two copper braziers, which are burning charcoal, but Wang Hou is afraid of being smoked to death by this thing, so he puts it far away from the window.
Now Wang Hou is very nostalgic for Cao Hongjie, a few days of snowfall, anyway, this girl has warmed his bed, and he is allowed to sleep with her in the tent, so he can still rely on each other's body temperature to keep warm, now, he really understands what it is like to be lonely and sleepless, and the house is colder than camping in the wilderness!
Call a slave girl to warm the bed?
Holding the dry and cold quilt for a long time, Wang Hou still strangled this tempting thought, and the whole person shrank into a ball, screaming sadly.
"I don't believe it, I can't sleep!"
With a bang, he rolled up the quilt and wrapped it tightly with his head.
..........
But sometimes it is not good not to believe in evil, early the next morning, the sun has just risen, Wang Hou dragged the proboscis out of the house, and the dark circles under his eyes quickly moved to meet the sun's rays.
"Sir!"
As early as he got up, it was Wang Fu, the old man who Chen Deng gave him, saying that there is an old man in the family if there is a treasure, although Wang Hou is not here these days, but the 100 servants in the house are still in good order under his arrangement, two cooks and five cooks cook in the back kitchen early, this time Chen Deng sent to transport more than 100 ox carts, more than 200 cattle were given to Wang Hou, nine horsemen were also busy feeding the livestock, and the rest was a little more than a little more snow clearing, and more than 70 people were swaying around the house.
Obviously, sensing so many people dangling in front of him, Wang Hou, who was swaying, was a little confused, and Wang Fu was carefully holding his fists on the side.
"Master, when you are not there, the old slave can't be the master, we do have a lot of Dingkou in this house, Wang E and their twenty can buy some looms, leaving them to weave and do chores in the house, although the ten of them have no skills, but they are strong and strong, and they can also be competent to be a family guard after the master runs before and after, the blacksmith Wang hammer, the plasterer Wang mud, the king paste, the carpenter Wang stick mallet and the planter Wang Seed The old slave suggested to stay, and they can be used for tinkering in the house, as well as the king spoon and the king cover, and they can also use a few cooks, Add a piece of fifty-three, and the house is enough to summon them, and the remaining lords can send them to the countryside to plough the fields for the lord, or sell them in the human market! ”
Wang Fuzhen is called a professional housekeeper, and he has a plan in the house, but the cruelty and ruthlessness of this era have taught Wang Hou a lesson, a big living person, and he will sell it when he says it? Seeing the servants of the new subordinates in his house nearby working extremely hard to clean up the snow one by one, and at the same time looking at himself nervously, Wang Hou shook his head helplessly.
"Anyway, the prime minister gave me a lot of land, don't sell it, you go to buy what you just said, and then take my field book to the outside of the city to receive the field, and if the government doesn't need it, let them go to the countryside to farm!"
Although farming is not as good as staying in the city, in this era of cannibalism, if it is sold, it may starve to death, and the remaining servants who are not in Wang Fu's plan can't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
However, after the arrangement, he pulled his fingers, and there were so many talent resources in his hands, Wang Hou became excited again, knocked his head hard, and hurriedly ordered Wang Fu again: "By the way, is there any coal sold in the market in Xuchang, eh, it seems to be called charcoal, buy some for this master, don't we have a mason under him?" Let them build a stove to burn some bricks for Master Ben, hey, there is no cement in this era, what is the formula for cement? ”
I used to be idle, either shopping around the end of the world or going to the cold, but now it comes in handy, in the fear that Wang Fu's eyes are about to become cross-eyed, Wang Hou knocked his head full of melon seeds with his fist, and forcibly recited a simple formula he had seen before.
"Limestone, clay for burning bricks, yes, it seems that there is also slag for ironmaking, give me a few sacks and come back, and grind me into flour with a stone mill, I can use it!"
Wang Fu was dizzy when he heard a lot of things, and the sweat beads were rolling in his old head, for fear of forgetting which one, he nodded again and again and muttered, and before he could go far, Wang Hou, who sneezed violently, suddenly gritted his teeth and shouted.
"That's right, chickens, ducks, geese! Purchase another twenty or thirty for Master Ben, and I'll freeze to death, ah! ”
...........
No wonder they all want to be officials, the treatment of officials in this era is still quite good, the sun comes out at nine o'clock and then go to work, at home first treated the home for a morning, about eight forty, Wang Hou only sat in a big wheel carriage surrounded by several family members of Wang Gongzi, and wandered all the way to the prime minister's mansion.
Although it was frozen all night, yesterday's mood was really different from this one, in front of the prime minister's mansion decorated with two monster statues, Wang Hou was in a happy mood and hummed a small tune into the house, or yesterday, under the leadership of the chamberlain who guided him, he took him to the office of the prime minister's twelve Cao.
In fact, in terms of grade, he is just a petty official, for hundreds of years in the Han Dynasty, the central court management official cang, are all under the command of the Taicang order under the command of Dasi Nong, Taicang Cheng and the military attache Zhisu Xiaowei to manage, but now it is the chaotic era at the end of the Han Dynasty, after Emperor Han Xian fled eastward, the rights of the two dukes and nine kings were all hollowed out by Cao Cao, and his new official also followed the rising tide, and the money valley in Yanzhou and Yuzhou under Cao Cao was under his management, which was converted to the Ming Dynasty, which was equivalent to one-third of the household Shangshu.
There were also a lot of people under his command, and as soon as he entered the door, Cang Rafter, who had the same official position as him before the thirties, respectfully hugged his fists together: "Meet Cangcao Ling!" ”
This respect is respectful, but there are few who are really sincere, Cangcao was only established this year, how many grain officials are working hard for this, but they never thought that it would fall on the head of Wang Hou, a notorious corrupt official, a few Cang rafters with a background are obviously jealous, and Wang Houxin, who has not done anything to see the manager, has relatives, and this team is not easy to bring.
However, there are also people who can behave and have no nutrition After a few words of greetings, each official returned to his original position, and a guy who looked fat and slippery, and at first glance was an official cang, and the guy was a thief and made do with it.
"I've seen Cangcao, the county of Xia Guan, Yu Bing, the name of the adult has been admired for a long time, although the Xia Guan is not talented, but in this Cang Cao can be regarded as a little bit of work, if the adult has any needs, just tell the lower official!"
"Oh, you transfer all the account books of each treasury in Taicang to the official, and then prepare, the official will inspect Taicang in the afternoon!"
This passage made all the grain officials in Cangcao's office can't help but tremble slightly, even if it is Yu Bing in front of him, in the air, the stiffness and hostility are even stronger, but Wang Hou didn't even pay attention to it, turned around and entered the signing room that belonged to him inside.
In fact, he also knew that when he first arrived, he still parachuted into this newly established Cangcao system with the military food officer behind Cao Cao's buttocks, and he should have a good relationship with his subordinates first, otherwise no one will praise you, and you will not be a commander with a bare pole.
However, it also depends on who is under it, these few years are a critical season for Mr. Cao, wars are frequent, the so-called soldiers and horses have not moved the grain and grass first, if the next time the whole army is fighting, he has not counted well, and he can't take out the grain, Mr. Cao is angry, he still has to lose his head!
There are not a few people in charge of the warehouse who have clean butts, and he has made a big investigation this time, obviously offending people, but for the sake of his own head, he can't care about offending him, only by counting the things in front of him first, and reporting a clear account book to Cao Cao, who was corrupt before and put aside the relationship with himself.
However, Wang Hou still underestimated the difficulty of this clearance, when he was sitting in the signing room fiddling with the official seal, the sound of heavy footsteps outside suddenly came, the door was pushed open with a creak, and six wrestlers carried three dozen bundles of bamboo slips weighing hundreds of pounds and put them on the ground.
Obviously, I saw that several grain officials outside showed a gloating smile, and their faces were slightly twitched, which Yu Bing bowed respectfully: "My lord, the account books of Taicang's revenue and expenditure inventory are all here, please read them!" ”
Looking at the dusty bamboo slips, Wang Hou almost didn't cry.
...........
In the atrium of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he sat on the stone pier that had just cleared the snow with a sad face, and in Wang Hou's gritted teeth, for a long time, Cao Hongjie ran out with a small broken step with great interest.
"What are you looking for me?"
I really don't know why Mr. Cao chose such a tomboy as Xiaomi, I haven't seen her for a day, she doesn't wear armor at all, she can be dressed as a samurai man, tiger-like, but even if she is wearing a bikini winter swim now, Wang Hou is not in the mood to see it, the first fire of the new official is stuck in his hand, although there is no near worry, but the sense of crisis makes Wang Hou still work hard to keep his head! directly stuffed a pair of calculation chips into Cao Hongjie's small hand.
"Help!"
"Hey, you're in charge of Cangcao, why do you want me to help?"
"Catch the mouse, share the credit with you, go to the book, General Cao Hongjie assists! I'll treat you to a good meal when you're done! ”
This girl is definitely a slave, and when she heard that she had merit and profit, she immediately followed her eyebrows and smiled a little brain.
"Deal!"
