Yu Bing didn't come empty-handed, this year's cloth is a hard currency that is harder than copper coins, he was stunned and pulled a box of Shu brocade over, if this value is compared with later generations, it is equivalent to directly sending Wang Hou a Daben, or 660,000 oil leaks of the same paragraph.

This is definitely a cut for him, a petty official who only has a hundred stones, but even if he cuts the meat, Yu Bing also cuts it happily, no one thought that this newly appointed Lord Cangcao is really capable, in three days, he settled the bad debts of Taicang, and handed it to the prime minister, now there are twenty warehouse rafters, and there are four chief officials who are in and out of the warehouse, who are all panicked, and the corruption of later generations has been shuanggui, and this year is going to lose his head!

At this juncture, the commander of the king of Cangcao did not invite anyone, only invited himself to come over to drink, although the matter may not be like this, but it shows that he has a chance! After getting the invitation, the little fat man with thin eyes and rat whiskers came running.

It's just that he just got out of the car, and before he could take the initiative to offer the gift, Wang Hou himself had already taken the lead in enjoying himself like a flower, grabbed his hand suddenly, and muttered full of complaints.

"You said you, let's go to the house, it's just friendship, what are you bringing! This official is a breeze on his sleeves, if this is spread out, you and I will not have a good reputation! ”

"Cangcao, this is Shu brocade, take the Yangtze River from Bashu ........."

"I understand! Brother Yu is a good-faced person! If I don't accept this, won't I slap you in the face? Pole, don't move in yet, don't take it as an example! Let's not take this as an example! ”

As soon as Wang Hou raised his hand, several family members were already happily lifting the box, and Yu Bing's fat face was straight and red, and he stumbled there sadly: "Cangcao, this is Shu Jin......."

"A few of you, drive the ox cart from Yu Cangrin to the backyard, go, the wine is ready, and I have some new food for my brother today, let's not get drunk and not return!"

In the end, he didn't have a chance to say how valuable his gift was, Yu Bing was dragged into the house by Wang Hou, seeing that the goods were still there and talking to himself, Yu Fat was depressed and wanted to vomit blood.

Entered the courtyard of the two, the master bedroom of the third room made him confused, this era is still popular to divide the food system, like a large family sitting together to eat in later generations has not appeared, generally the host has a case, the guest has a case, good guy, Wang Hou is stingy on a case, over there, there is also a somewhat masculine chick who is bored there to knock on the edge of the bowl with chopsticks.

However, this cooking utensils for eating are quite special, the whole is made of precious brass, and it is the first time that someone has brought the pot directly to the table.

"Brother Yu, please go to the kang! Wang Fu, don't wait for your brother to strip! ”

"Oh! No more! The lower officials are afraid of the cold! Afraid of the cold! ”

I don't know if I'm still used to the bad warmth of this era, or I'm afraid that Wang Hou will leave his clothes as a gift again, Yu Bing is slap his fat slap again and again, the guest is as good as the host, the host is also as good as the guest, Wang Hou didn't care about him, took off his coat and hung it up, and then crossed his legs on the kang, and followed him to the other end carefully, but Yu Bing jumped up in surprise as if he had been stung.

"Wow! Cangcao's couch is so warm! ”

"Heh, a little carving insect skill, Wang Fu, don't hurry up and serve the wine!"

Triumphantly put the sesame paste mixed with salt and leek flowers from the jar on the plate, Wang Hou immediately made a gesture of please, he had long been accustomed to his novel ghost trick, Cao Hongjie unceremoniously filled himself with a big spoon, on the other end, Yu Bing, who was hot and fat and red, learned Wang Hou's appearance, and soaked the thinly sliced mutton twice in the clear fish soup that had already been boiled on the charcoal fire, and then dipped it in the sauce, and after a few seconds, the fat man couldn't help but light up his eyes and gave a thumbs up.

"Cangcao is the reincarnation of Ku Ding, and it is a great treat to have this beautiful soup and sweet meat in the cold winter wax moon!"

He is still boasting here, Cao Hongjie, who was still sunny and cloudy just now, put a large piece of mutton in the second chopsticks and soaked it into the soup, and Yin Hong's little mouth was also stained with a piece of leek flower sauce, and Wang Hou, who saw it, couldn't help but shake his head funny.

"Brother Yu and I hit it off at first sight, when a big white man comes, come, drink!"

Two big bowls of rice wine given by Chen Deng went down, and a red wine appeared on their faces, and the official university crushed people to death, in Xuzhou, Wang Hou was a grandson, and he had to give Lu Bulu Brother praise everywhere, but when he got here, it was his turn to listen to the praise, and while eating, Yu Bing was still flattering, but unfortunately the business level of the fat man was not enough, and it was what a table of talents, learning rich five cars, righteous Bo Yuntian or something, listening to Cao Hongjie, who was eating tahini and shabu noodles in broth, rolled his eyes.

But after all, he came with something, several times, Yu Bingdu held the wine bowl and asked with some concern: "Cangcao, I don't know about Taicang, the prime minister ........"

But every time, Wang Hou interrupted him with a smile with a wine bowl: "Today I only talk about the wind and snow, not about business, just for a good time, come, drink!" ”

Looking at the wine bowl held high by Wang Hou, Yu Bing had no choice but to dry it in one gulp.

.............

In the romance, the ancients drank wine from jar to jar, as if they drank a lot of alcohol and drank too much, but in Wang Hou's eyes now, it is definitely a drizzle and sprinkling water! First of all, there is no distillation technology in this era, the alcohol content is low, and the jar of rice wine in front of you is only about ten degrees, which is similar to the beer of later generations.

Then, the wine of this era is very precious, at least a petty official like Yu Bing does not have the financial resources to hold the jar to drink every day, without exercise, the alcohol tolerance is even worse, when a jar of rice wine bottoms out, I don't know if it is Wang Hou's fart brought by his own alcohol in later generations, this product is already a peach blossom in his eyes and began to brush drunk boxing, and his speech is not so clear.

The first time she ate noodles, Cao Hongjie was still fighting inhumane with the noodles in the bowl, but Wang Hou suddenly stabbed her arm, and then her face turned straight, and she suddenly shook her head with emotion.

"Brother Yu, you are the nephew of General Yu Ban, or you are in charge of the granary, you are very full of oil and water, and the official is quite envious!"

As soon as the person drank high, the mouth unconsciously loosened, listening to Wang Houruo's point, Yu Bing, who was still full of praise and flattery just now, finally changed his tone.

"Cang Cao Mo is going to take Yu Mou to open the shabu! Your old ....., you are old this back, give a house, give 500 acres of land, and Xuzhou to serve the grain and wine cloth, you are old, you are old is a wave of fat, we are small officials, envy can not envy it! We...., burp~~~, where do we have any oil and water? ”

Although it is still flattering, but the words with a big tongue obviously have a strong sense of jealousy, coupled with the heat of the kang, this old face is almost red as if it is oozing blood at this moment.

Wang Hou listened thoughtfully, but Cao Hongjie, who was outspoken, couldn't hold it back, and hummed mockingly.

"There are 680 million stones stored in the C-shaped warehouse, and there are only 25,000 stones in the actual storage, and more than 40,000 stones are recorded in the account at once, Yu Cangcao is still crying here and poor, but it is not authentic!"

Bang, Yu Bing actually jumped up in a daze, and suddenly scared Cao Hongjie and Wang Hou are a big start, but immediately, this thing was actually very angry, full of cynicism and yelling.

"Sister-in-law, you don't know, if there are really more than 40,000 stone of grain, brother, I ....., brother, I am willing to be cut off! The problem is that there is none! ”

"Don't you know, we are so miserable! According to the field book, there should be so much grain in the account, but which of those bastards in the local area is really willing to hand over the grain in full two catties? Take the Chen Liu, who was received by my warehouse, for example, there should be 17,000 stones in the warehouse this autumn on the books, but in fact? Seventeen hundred stones are also mixed with most of the old rot and rotten! There is also Wai Huang, 5,000 stones, not even 400 stones! The little grain in the warehouse was still offended by the officials, stuck in Jiyang, and only a few poor counties in Xiaohuang were forced to supply it. ”

Fluttering and sitting back on the kang, this goods actually filled himself again, full of resentment while pouring, while humming stupidly: "Indeed, the hands and feet of our warehouse are definitely not clean, but it is to get a dozen or twenty stones to help the family, the family has a large population, and there are not so many fields as Cangcao, it is difficult to live!" But Cangcao cleared up the deficit of 40,000 stones at once, and let the lower officials ......, and the lower officials ......."

After drinking and spitting out the truth, this thing was very useless and cried on the table, Cao Hongjie, who was crying, had a little face and was helpless, and Wang Hou pinched his chin thoughtfully.

"Since the counties are fraudulent, and there is not enough food to hand in, why didn't you report to the Prime Minister's Office earlier and impeach them?"

"Does impeachment work? Most of the subordinates in the city are composed of these state and county scholars, and the officials are three levels older than us, and one person can drown us petty officials first with a mouthful of spit! It's hard! ”

I really drank too much, and shouted in a daze, this thing was stunned and slapped on the hot kang like a rice cake, and a few seconds later, a heavy snoring sound came, looking at the fat face of this product, Wang Hou couldn't help but sigh, and another piece of chopsticks mutton was soaked in the pot, and then it was thrown into his mouth and chewed heavily.

He thought that the problem was in the central government, or the heroes, or the old ministers of the Han family colluded with their power to oppress these barns and steal a large amount of grain from Taicang, but from this mouth, the problem came from the locality, and there was not so much grain in the account at all.

But think about it, but it is not impossible, with the end of the Han Dynasty Dong Zhuo gave the central court the final blow, the Han Dynasty has actually existed in name only, the local rule that it relied on has completely collapsed, and the previous effective money and grain dispatch has come to naught.

This situation abounded in the late Han Dynasty, to give one of the most obvious examples, Tao Qian! When he entered Xuzhou, Guangling scholar Zhao Yu once pointed to his nose to confront him, in order to obtain the support of the Xuzhou scholars, Tao Qian still had to pinch his nose and appoint him as Guangling Taishou, another example is Cao Zong himself, when he seized Yanzhou, he killed a group of scholars who opposed him, and immediately caused dissatisfaction among scholars like Chen Gong, colluded with Lu Bu to enter the Kou, and almost embezzled all Cao Cao's foundation.

Look at Guangling Chen Deng again, how rich is his family, there are more than 5,000 stone of grain a month to support the army, he said to take it out, how did this food come from? Suppress the tenant serfs and slaves, and cut off the state taxes and fertilizers!

Are these greedy families willing to pay taxes according to their books?

"What should I do?"

also knew the seriousness of the problem, Cao Hongjie's eyes were fixed on Wang Hou again. Just wanted to roll his eyes, but Wang Fu, who was waiting outside the door, suddenly nodded and walked in.

"Master, partial general, the master of this family has sent someone to post to you!"
