Chapter 166: Hardship
Xu Jingzong has been suffering from insomnia recently.
He took the initiative to ask Li Jianzheng of the Firearms Bureau for financial power, who knew that Li Jianzheng was very happy, and handed over the financial power to him without saying a word, and he had a relieved expression of throwing away the hot potato.
This expression made Xu Jingzong feel bad.
After Xu Jingzong went back, he opened the account book of the Firearms Bureau, carefully examined it from beginning to end, rubbed his eyes, felt incredulous, and checked it again without giving up, and after checking it four times, Xu Jingzong finally understood what a stupid thing he had done, and the stupidity of this matter was ...... Forget it, it's still not described.
As of the 10th day of this month, all the 4,000 yuan allocated by the Ministry of Household Affairs to the Firearms Bureau had been spent, and it had been spent cleanly, and not only was there not a penny left, but there were also several purchases in the East Market that had been made in vain.
With such a worrying financial power, Xu Jingzong actually grabbed it with a low face and grabbed it in his hands......
Every time he thought of this, Xu Jingzong had an urge to pull himself to death.
I had the intention to find a bad excuse to return the account books, but recalling the immature but ruthless face when Supervisor Li was smoking Yang Yan, Xu Jingzong couldn't help but shudder, besides, even if Supervisor Li didn't smoke him, he took the initiative to return the financial rights that he wanted, and from then on, how many catties and taels did he Xu Shaojian have left in the Firearms Bureau?
It is impossible to test whether Xu Jingzong slapped himself wildly in the sleepless night. But after reflecting on his own intelligence, he decided to do the right thing, yes, to ask for money from the household.
Datang's current Hubu Shangshu is named Han Zhongliang, but the Hubu Shangshu in these years doesn't care about specific affairs, and the so-called Hubu Shangshu is only a part-time remote leader. In fact, Han Zhongliang's main position is the governor of Qinzhou, the founding county of Yingchuan, and the household department was divided into four divisions in the Zhenguan year, one is called the household department, one is called the degree branch, and the other is called the gold department. One is called the warehouse department, and the specific manager is Lang Zhong of these four divisions.
As the name suggests, the powers of the four divisions are clear at a glance.
The household department is in charge of household registration, the degree branch is in charge of expenses, the gold department is in charge of silver cashiers, and the warehouse department is in charge of grain and cloth.
If Xu Jingzong applied for the imperial court to allocate funds to the Firearms Bureau, he was looking for the degree branch under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Households.
************************************************************
Li Su didn't know how hard it was for Xu Jingzong to ask for money from the Du Branch, and for the Firearms Bureau, he was not a hands-off shopkeeper. In fact, he is still very in charge, and it is a bit of an exaggeration to say that he is conscientious, at least there is hard work.
After doing what needs to be done every day, the rest of the free time is very good, find a place where no one is in a daze for a while, or take a nap, and the day is over, and things are done. He didn't make himself very hard, and he was worthy of the money that the state gave him. is also worthy of his own leisure.
By the way, Yu Lu seems to have been detained by Li Shimin for three months, and the domineering president said that Li Su had to work for the imperial court for three months.
Today, he personally allocated two hundred catties of gunpowder to the craftsmen, and Li Su rubbed his arm and walked into the north courtyard, after the last fire. The speed of the Ministry of Engineering is very fast, and the north courtyard will be rebuilt in a few days, Li Su found a good place to enjoy the shade at the back of the north courtyard, and a ginkgo forest was planted behind the north courtyard, and the branches and leaves were quite lush. And it is located in the north, and there is often a cool breeze. Except for the occasional irritability of the cicadas in the trees, the qiē is perfect.
So Li Su sent someone to clean up a vacant land early, set up a reclining chair, and asked the kitchen to prepare cold water and snacks, well, the account of the Firearms Bureau, anyway, Xu Jingzong is in charge of the account, and it is also the account of the imperial court, and he is not distressed about how much he eats.
Today, Li Su's paradise seems to have uninvited guests, and Li Su even heard sobs and sighs.
Frowning, Li Su approached with light steps, and was surprised to find that it was Xu Jingzong, a middle-aged handsome man, sitting on his chaise longue wiping his tears, and the little sunlight sprinkled through the gaps in the shade of the trees illuminated his back extremely gloomy......
It is rare to be able to wipe away tears.
Li Su's eyes widened in surprise, and he felt extremely sorry in his heart, he was too disappointed not to have a camera in these years, if he took a picture of Xu Jingzong's tearful face, and then posted it all over Chang'an City, telling everyone that in fact, this old handsome guy is quite ugly when he cries, and the most handsome person is actually the supervisor of the Firearms Bureau......
"Ahem!" Li Su coughed dryly.
Xu Jingzong wiped his tears and looked up, and when he saw that it was Li Su, he sucked his nose hard, and his eyes turned even redder.
"Supervisor ......"
"Be good, obedient, get up, cry over there, this chair is my ......" Li Su thundered with a pleasant face.
"Huh?" Xu Jingzong was dumbfounded.
According to the routine, at this time, the supervisor should ask what is sad, right? That's what a normal person should say, right?
"The snacks are mine too, you didn't steal them, did you?" Li Su lowered his head and looked at a few plates of dim sum on the low table next to him, and glanced up at Xu Jingzong suspiciously, with a very Cao Cao expression.
Xu Jingzong: "............"
Although he was speechless to Lord Jianzheng, Xu Jingzong still got up very interestingly and gave up the recliner to Li Su.
Li Su was not polite, and the whole person threw himself into the recliner and sighed with satisfaction.
It's so comfortable, I'm so sleepy, I want to sleep......
There was another sobbing sound next to him, and the handsome old man was crying very much.
Not wanting to deal with him, Li Su turned over and began to take a nap.
Xu Jingzong was stunned and looked at Li Su, who was about to sleep, and couldn't believe that he actually regarded himself as a transparent person, and more importantly, ...... Treat his grief as transparent.
Sadness can flow backwards, how can we turn a blind eye?
Seeing that Lord Jianzheng was really going to fall asleep, Xu Jingzong was anxious.
"Lord Supervisor, Lower Official...... It's really hard......" Xu Jingzong couldn't help but start complaining, and his tone was very sad.
Li Su didn't move.
Xu Jingzong's voice couldn't help but be a little louder: "Lord Jianzheng, the Lang Zhong of the Du Branch Division is too deceitful, not only does he not allocate a penny, but today he also ordered the messenger to blast the lower officials out of the household office, which is tolerable, which is unbearable!" ”
Li Su didn't react......
"Lord Supervisor! The Firearms Bureau has run out of money, and if there is no money in the warehouse today, more than 100 people will be hungry tomorrow! ”
"Supervisor ......"
Under Xu Jingzong's anxious and expectant gaze, Li Su finally moved.
Turning over and standing up, Li Su hooked Xu Jingzong's neck and pointed in the direction of the gate of the Firearms Bureau.
Xu Jingzong was pleasantly surprised: "Lord Jianzheng means ......"
"I mean...... I don't care about you! If you want to make noise, go to the gate, and then make noise about the official to sleep, and you will not be relieved. (To be continued......)
