Chapter 5: Devil's Feet Seven
At noon, Liu Dutou set up the pergola, and before half an hour of drinking tea to escape the heat, the task was completed, which was personally counted by Zhao Cheng, and the amount of soil filled was more than 2,000 and 30 cars.
Gather all the people, Zhao Cheng wore a broken straw hat, and the golden rooster stood on a high place independently and shouted: "Don't talk nonsense, you are simple and I am simple, come and get the money, two cents per person, go home to enjoy the cool after receiving it, or take your wife to bed and get to know each other." ”
"Hehe......"
Most laughed.
Today's efficiency is higher than yesterday's, everyone is generally satisfied, and this is just when the sun is at its hottest, you can go home early, and you still have money to get.
All the people were empty, and Zhao Cheng gave two more cents to each of the guys who helped distribute the money. But one of them, tall and with big feet, told him to stay.
Since the day before yesterday, Zhao Cheng found that this guy didn't talk much, although he was thin but had a lot of strength, especially when he pushed the cart, he could see that his foot strength was very strong and his quality was good.
The day before yesterday was not good, many people would deliberately tease him and tell him to do more heavy work, and this guy basically scratched his head and went to do heavy work.
After two days of observation, Zhao Cheng also learned that this was an orphan who had wandered in Chizhou City since he was a child, without a name, nicknamed Ghost Foot Seven, and said that he was running fast with his feet.
"Brother Cheng, I don't know if I have any extra two pennies to take?"
Ghost Foot Seven scratched his head a little silly, but saw Zhao Cheng hand over ten copper coins.
"Isn't it two dollars if you give too much?" Ghost Foot Seven looks very wooden and doesn't dare to take it.
"Not much."
After Zhao Cheng stuffed the money in his hand, this guy didn't thank him, he scratched his head and turned around and ran, it was really fast.
Zhao Cheng couldn't help jumping to his feet: "Isn't this finished, what are you running, stay and follow me." ”
He turned back and said, "I don't have a place to live, after a big family was raided, a deserted house was formed, and many beggars spent the night in it, I want to occupy a place to sleep, and it will be occupied if I go late." ”
"No, in the future, you will live in my house, and from now on, as long as I live, you will have a place to live and something to eat, and I will pay you back ten dollars a day." Zhao Cheng said.
"Ah...... Then you'll die. "Devilfoot Seven was extremely surprised.
Zhao Cheng shook his head slightly, "You're wrong, I will raise a bunch of people like you even if I sell my ancestral house, the more I earn, if you don't believe it, we'll see." ”
After counting, there are about one hundred and ninety wen left today, and the odd is left by himself, and one hundred wen is handed over to Liu Dutou.
This time, it's barely counting the change, and it's a little feeling.
Lao Liu took the money and patted Zhao Cheng on the shoulder with a very serious appearance.
Touching his chin and hesitating for a while, Liu Dutou ordered: "I won't come tomorrow, since the construction site is in good order, other messengers are just you, Bendu has to worry about it, sort out the first phase of the construction site accounts and submit them to the county lord." Just let me know if something happens. ”
Zhao Cheng's expression became strange, "Nerve-wracking, do I need to help you take a look at it?" ”
"You know that, too?"
Liu Dutou was a little surprised, hesitated and waved his hand slightly, and after the two messengers left here, he took out an account from his arms and handed it to Zhao Cheng: "Let's take a look first." ”
He pointed to his seat and said, "Sit down and look slowly." ”
Why do you have to look slowly, Zhao Cheng took it and flipped through a few pages at random, a little dizzy.
It's really chaotic, if Zhao Cheng is the county honor, the first thing to do with this account is to hang Liu Du's head and ask "How much have you eaten".
It's speechless but normal, even a thousand years from now.
Seeing Zhao Cheng in the back, this is actually not Lao Liu's problem, he must have eaten it, but it can be seen that he doesn't eat much, which is a bit of conscience. At least there is not much difference in the food accounts of the serving men, and the poor food of the laborers is mainly allocated and can only be eaten in this way.
Zhao Cheng closed the account book, "This account is indeed in trouble. This is obviously a bad debt when the person above handed it to you, but it needs to be balanced in your hands, and you are not very familiar with these paperwork, and once something goes wrong, you are the one to blame, right? ”
Lao Liu couldn't help but open his mouth wide, this guy only watched it for less than half an hour before saying this?
Immediately, Liu Dutou slapped his thigh and laughed miserably: "Who said it wasn't." Okay, the deep-seated problems are gone, and they will never be clear. You give Lao Tzu a total total, barely close the accounts, and just hand over the difference. ”
"Here, here, and here......"
Zhao Cheng took the pen and quickly drew the hook in some places, and there were words in his mouth, "The scale of the total silver money is seven hundred and thirty-five yuan, so the flat account is too obvious, the county zun began to repair the river at this point in time to take precautions, I am sure that he is more clear in his heart, he must be an official with practical experience, not a fledgling little scholar." Therefore, the white ash of this project cannot be counted so much, and it is definitely questioned. Although it will be closed according to my usual practice, it is definitely not a good thing to leave such a brand of distrust in the heart of the county master. ”
Zhao Cheng revised while sketching, "The number of white and gray should be greatly reduced." The charcoal fire item is too small to be counted and can be doubled. ”
Seeing that Liu Dutou didn't understand, Zhao Cheng said again: "Now the weather is hot and there are many epidemics, pests and diseases harass, which leads to perishable water quality and food, and food poisoning incidents are common, so the hotter the weather, the more it is necessary to consume charcoal to boil the water and cook the food thoroughly." Those who can serve at this time are the mainstays of Guichi County, so even if it seems a bit extravagant to include the charcoal fee in this way, it will definitely be acceptable with the character of the county, in addition, the officials of the charcoal service are not under his control, and after the expenditure is included in the charcoal fee, the county will not blame you even if he has doubts, he will only hate the bureaucrats of the charcoal affairs, and he will definitely not ask. ”
After slightly adjusting a number of other small items, Zhao Cheng quickly closed the accounts, "Liu Dutou can rewrite it according to this." ”
Lao Liu took a deep breath, looked at him as if he was looking at a monster, and finally laughed: "Lao Tzu remembers you, there is you." ”
Zhao Cheng was also speechless, but helplessly this is bondage and nepotism. Now relying on Liu Dutou's protection, if he is cheated, Zhao Cheng's difficulties will immediately double, and he will be replaced by someone to toss blindly, not to mention the greed, he will also mess up the project again, exhaust Zhao Cheng to death on the construction site, and pit more people.
Relatively speaking, Lao Liu is already very cute, and his appearance is not ugly. At that time, he was still righteously helping Zhao Cheng snatch back the potatoes and suppress the gangsters......
I went back to the city earlier today, and I had time to find a teahouse in the afternoon and sit down and listen to the commentary. It is about the Three Kingdoms, not the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but a collection of folk Three Kingdoms speeches.
After a while, Zhao Cheng was not interested, but Ghost Foot Seven listened to it with relish, and he didn't blink his eyes.
This guy is Zhao Cheng's first follower after crossing, and I don't know if it's fate or character, in short, Zhao Cheng likes this guy very much.
"Lao Liu doesn't catch beggars to serve, it should be because the county respects public opinion, and beggars are not easy to manage barefoot. Ah Qi, you are similar to a beggar, why did you go to serve? Zhao Cheng asked.
"Because I can't find a place to eat because I have a lunch, Liu Dutou asked casually that day, and I went to work."
Devil's Feet Seven's answer is simple and interesting.
At the same time, others are easy and fun. Zhao Cheng ordered a plate of fried beans, and Ghost Foot swallowed a few saliva but didn't eat it.
"Eat it, I'll get it for you."
As a result, as soon as Zhao Cheng said this, he ate it all in an uproar, and he didn't even spit out the shell.
Next, Ghost Foot Seven stayed here to listen to the book, and Zhao Cheng was not interested.
"Ah Qi, you continue to listen, just go to my house to rest later."
Zhao Cheng got up and left, wanting to go to the academy to have a look, after all, he was in the Northern Song Dynasty, and he couldn't turn a blind eye to them......
