Chapter 15: The Sacred Vault
The sacred treasury of the Worship of God was set up in the west of Jintian Village, and it was also a compound of Wei Changhui's family. Boxy, very, very large, the courtyard wall is built very high, and there are also guard boxes to patrol day and night. There is an exit from the southeast, west, and west. The row of houses to the south was the military ration storehouse, and the row of houses to the north was the armory, which were managed by his disciples Ah Cai and Ah Fu respectively, both of whom were his early apprentices in the Thirteen Lines, and they were both careful people. The east side of the compound is mainly used to store various miscellaneous items, and the west side is the residence of the people of the Holy Treasury. There are also deep wells dug at the four corners of the compound to prevent fires. In the middle is Wu Ruxiao's office room, which is separated from the outside world by an inner wall, and is also where the most important silver vault is located, and idlers are not allowed to enter.
Wu Ruxiao, 45 years old, from Guangdong, can read and write. In his early years, he was exposed to Christianity in Hong Kong, worked under foreigners, and knew some foreign languages. Later, he joined the merchant department of the 13th Bank in Guangzhou as an accountant. (Accounting is not a modern word, as early as the Zhou Dynasty there was an accounting official position) thirteen lines are the official office of the imperial court, which hides filth and filth, and the officials do not take the person as a person at all, arbitrarily oppress, and use lynching at every turn. He couldn't bear to be with him, so he joined the God Worship Sect and brought two apprentices to Guangxi with Hong Xiuquan.
Wu Ruxiao received the news that Yang Xiaoshan was about to take up his post here, and he was a little uneasy. He also inquired that Xiaoshan was sent by Yang Xiuqing. Suddenly parachuted down from above, did such a person come to check on himself? Suspect yourself of self-theft in prison? Impossible, he has always been cautious and conscientious, Sect Master Hong trusts him so much, he never dares to embezzle the slightest.
Wu Ruxiao didn't dare to hold the big one, although Xiaoshan came to serve as his deputy position, which was his subordinate. But there are so many brigade commanders, and he is the only one with the title, which shows his unique position in the sect. It's a celebrity in front of Yang Junshuai again, and he can't afford to offend. He took Ah Cai and Ah Fu to guard the main gate, ready to welcome Yang Xiaoshan's arrival.
"Wu Lvshuai, why did your old man come out and torture the boy." Yang Xiaoshan is embarrassed, Wu Ruxiao is his superior after all, and he can be his grandfather at his age, and he still gives himself face.
"Lvshuai Yang, welcome, welcome. Welcome to Sanku. Wu Ruxiao breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that this Yang Xiaoshan is quite easy to get along with, he is most worried about an arrogant and domineering master, then he will be sad in the future.
"What brigade marshal? I'm a brigade commander, just a deputy. Also, everyone is their own person, just call me Xiaoshan. Yang Xiaoshan has also entered the workplace, and wherever people go, they must first have a good relationship with everyone, and he still knows this about the world, not to mention that this was originally someone's "territory", and when a "paratrooper" suddenly inserted himself, others would have instinctive hostility.
"Then, you can call me Lao Wu."
"How do you call this, I should be called Wu Lao." Although this Lao Wu and Wu Lao are the same two words, the order is different, and the status is too different.
"That's it, you can call me Uncle Wu as they do." Wu Ruxiao was also helpless by Xiaoshan.
The two made a humble gesture, and the relationship seemed to be a little closer again.
So Wu Ruxiao took Yang Xiaoshan into the holy treasury and led him to familiarize himself with the working environment.
"This is the armory, which is mainly managed by Afghanistan. On the left is the arsenal, on the right is the γγγγγγ Wu Ruxiao hasn't finished speaking.
Yang Xiaoshan nodded again and again, "Uncle Wu, your placement here is very good, long weapons belong to long weapons, short weapons belong to short weapons, very orderly." "In his previous life, he had also entered the factory, and he had seen what the warehouse should look like.
Yang Xiaoshan just said it casually, but Wu Bo was secretly frightened, laymen entering the warehouse are generally more related to things, and it is rare to pay attention to the placement. The most important thing about this warehouse is to classify it, and Yang Xiaoshan pointed it out as soon as he opened his mouth, which is very powerful.
The two chatted and chatted and went to the grain depot again. The grain depot is cylindrical in shape, with a conical "straw hat" on top of it. A shelf is built with wooden planks underneath to raise it to be waterproof and moisture-proof. Just after autumn, there was still plenty of food, rice, corn, sweet potatoes, and everything.
"This is the account, please look at it yet." Ah Fu, who is in charge of the grain depot, knows that the most concerned thing by his superiors is usually military rations, and if he doesn't look at the rest, he must not ignore the grain. As soon as the army runs out of food, it will be fatal.
"Lord Yang, this is γγγγγγ" Ah Fu is also ready to tell Yang Xiaoshan the number of accounts.
Yang Xiaoshan didn't wait for him to finish, "457,63 catties of rice"
This time, Wu Bo and Ah Fu were stunned, because their accounts were not written in Hanzi, but in Arabic numerals! How could he know Arabic numerals? Stumped, this Yang Xiaoshan can really reach the sky like his title?
Yang Xiaoshan didn't pay attention to these, Arabic numerals were in the previous life, kindergarten children would, and it was not normal if they didn't know each other.
I went around the sacred vault and looked at everything I needed to see. Yang Xiaoshan also has a general understanding of Wu Ruxiao. This man is cautious and careful, a man of duty and shrewdness, a trustworthy and resociative man. He suddenly and quietly pulled Lao Wu over.
"Uncle Wu, I still want to trouble you with two things."
"It's fine, just say, as long as it's within my purview."
"This is a private matter, can you give me the dagger of the Manchurian general last time?" Yang Xiaoshan never forgot the dagger, thinking that if he encountered a dangerous situation in the future, these multiple weapons would often be able to save his life.
"This is no problem, you are now a brigade commander, and weapons under one hundred taels can be applied for." Wu Ruxiao put his mind at ease, fortunately he didn't want something extraordinarily valuable, otherwise he really didn't know whether he should agree or not.
"This is a business matter, and Uncle Wu can prepare an extra copy of this account every month and give it to me, so that I can send it to Yang Junshuai for reference. In the future, Sect Master Hong will have a share, and Yang Junshuai will also have a share. As the commander of the whole army, Yang Junshuai must find out our family background in order to win the battle. β
Wu Ruxiao didn't speak immediately, he was thinking about it. Yang Xiuqing is a military commander, and he has the final say in the military. But this account is under administrative jurisdiction, and it stands to reason that Sect Master Hong should be asked if he agrees, but this question will definitely offend Yang Xiuqing.
After thinking about it, Wu Ruxiao still agreed, after all, now Sect Master Hong is not very concerned about the administrative aspect, and he is busy writing doctrinal articles all day long, at present, many of the affairs of this holy treasury are managed by Feng Yunshan, and the sect leader has also handed over a lot of administrative power to Yang Xiuqing, there is no need to offend him easily, Yang just wants to look at the accounts, even if he doesn't give it, Xiaoshan can get it with a little effort, why be a villain.
"Okay, since Marshal Yang has sent you, you should have known about the things in the accounts, so Marshal Yang will entrust you to him."
"Thank you, Uncle Wu."
"Xiaoshan, or you will be in charge of the military grain depot, and I will ask Ah Fu to hand over the accounts to you another day." Wu Ruxiao considered that although Yang Xiaoshan was a deputy position, he always had to give some real power.
"Don't, don't. What you did was and what you are still doing. Yang Xiaoshan immediately refused, so many people want to eat military rations, and they are all handed over to themselves and not tired to death, and he is a layman, once he makes a mistake, he can't eat and walk around. This kind of thankless work must not be done. Anyway, the purpose of coming to the Holy Treasury has been achieved, as long as Yang Junshuai has a copy of the account, his task will be completed, and as for the specific affairs, he will still be handed over to the insiders to do, and he only needs to conduct random checks.
"Uncle Wu, I heard that you understand English?" Yang Xiaoshan suddenly remembered something.
"You know, when I was young, I worked for a few years under the British in Hong Kong." Wu Bo replied.
βHow old are you?β Yang Xiaoshan asked tentatively.
βForty-five.β Uncle Wu is not surprised at all now, even if Yang Xiaoshan says that he can go to heaven, he believes it.
In fact, he didn't know that Yang Xiaoshan also thought highly of him in his heart.
