Chapter 152: Deficit
Winnie smiled faintly and said with an unfathomable look: "Master, why do you have to fund it yourself? You can partner with others, you are the local county magistrate, you want to partner with people to do business, and those people are not competing to buy shares. ”
Partnership? This is a good choice, if you want to grow and develop, you must always go it alone, you must learn to group with others, form a group effect, but also to prevent others from taking the opportunity to eat themselves.
Clifford glanced at Winnie approvingly, but he didn't expect this little girl to be quite business-minded, and among his three major maids in the future, Sophia is responsible for intelligence collection and security work, Liana is responsible for taking care of her own diet and daily life, and Winnie is responsible for earning money for herself.
"Master, what's wrong with you? Am I not right? Winnie watched him wander away, not knowing what he was thinking, and cautiously probed.
"No, Winnie. You're quite right. Cocklefort was so excited that he picked up Winnie, threw her onto the bed, skilfully stripped her naked, and began to congratulate his new woman.
In the huge room, only the sound of the big bed swaying.
"Does it hurt?"
"Hmm."
"Do you want to stop?"
"No, don't, please be gentle."
"Call Lord."
"Grandpa......"
A few days later, on the day of the new Heihe County Commander, Coolford took up his post with his retinue and a few hundred soldiers, after bidding farewell to Taylor, the governor of the three northern counties.
Collief has a relatively mild temper and good popularity, when he took office, many officialdom colleagues gave him some travel expenses, although it is not much, but it adds up to thousands of silver dollars, however, Feng Boke, who has always called him a brother and brother before, did not give him a penny, for this, Collie Fu can also understand that he just robbed the woman that people fancied, and asked others to send money, which is inevitably too difficult for strong people.
For von Bock, Clifo has no hope, no matter what, this time it is considered to have offended him to death, no matter what he does in the future, it is impossible to repair the relationship, instead of struggling, it is better not to communicate now, although von Bock's strength is stronger than him now, but Cleeford is not afraid, the road is still long, let's see.
If you want to go to Heihe County to take office, you must pass through Duolai County, which is located between Heihe County and Chaoen County, and the officials at this time also pay attention to etiquette, although a county order is not much of an official, but everyone knows that Colliver is Taylor's henchman, so there is no less things to be sent along the way, and a lot of travel expenses are charged.
However, General Charlie, the defense envoy of Dolai County, who had worked with Clifford that year, did not personally entertain Clifford, but only sent a servant to send some money.
Unconsciously, my brother has offended so many people, and they are all powerful.
Clifford not only shook his head, but also sighed slightly. The convoy had an uneventful journey, and a few days later arrived at the place where it was about to make its biggest achievements - Heihe County, Heihe County.
Arriving at the post station outside the city, Clifford showed his letter of appointment. The steward of the post station saw that it was the newly appointed county magistrate, and immediately came up and patted the horse and said: "It turns out that the county magistrate is here, please sit inside, the villain has already prepared a good room for you." ”
Collie was overjoyed, the treatment of this leader was really unusual, before he said it, the group of people under him had already thought about it, how like when you were a staff member, only when you opened your mouth to make a request, people would weigh whether they would satisfy you, and asked with a smile: "How do you know that Lord Ben is coming to take office today?" ”
"Back to your lordship." The post steward said with a smile: "Since the adult was appointed as the new county magistrate of Heihe County, this villain in the upper room has cleaned up for you. The villain didn't know when the adults would come to work, so he had to wait every day in this stupid way. ”
"Hahahaha." Collie smiled loudly, and his heart was even more happy, he used to try his best to shoot other people's horses and study other people's preferences, but today, he can finally be patted by others, and said: "You are very competent." Let's take Ben-sama with you. ”
Hearing Cleif's compliment, the steward of the post station was overjoyed, and almost knelt on the ground and called out to Cleif's ancestor, saying, "Your Excellency, please come with me, be careful of the steps." ”
Collie followed the steward into the inn, and when he saw that he had arranged a good room for himself, he was very satisfied, and after putting away all the luggage, he said to the steward, "Go down first, and I will call you when something happens." ”
"Yes, sir." The steward of the post station knew that this new official must have discussed some confidential matters with his subordinates, and it was inconvenient for him to use his pestle here, so he withdrew very interestingly.
After the steward left, Clifford sat down in his chair, looked around at his men, and said with a smile: "You don't have to be restrained, just sit casually." ”
The room was still very large, and Clifford's core subordinates all found their seats, and first Olivia, who had just joined the group, said, "My lord, when do you plan to take office?" ”
Clifford didn't think this was a problem, and said casually: "Since it has arrived, I think it is better to go to work early, go one step earlier, understand the situation earlier, and get into work as soon as possible." In fact, he couldn't hold it back in his heart, he dreamed of being an official in his previous life, and this time he finally got a seven-grade hall to do, and that mood was like an old man who had been a bachelor for forty years and suddenly married a daughter-in-law, and he really wanted to save all the red tape before and send it directly to the cave room.
Olivia quietly raised his eyes and glanced at Cleford, he was also a person who had been in the officialdom for a long time, how could he not understand Cleford's careful thoughts, coughed lightly, and said, "My lord, my subordinates advise you to wait for two more days." ”
"Why?" Clifford sat up straight and asked, he already felt something, there seemed to be something in it.
Olivia stood up straight and explained as a passer-by: "My life was saved by an adult, and I have been thinking about repaying it for a long time, please listen to me." First, we just came here today, and presumably those dignitaries in the city already knew about it, and they hurriedly went to take office as soon as they came, which would make those people look down on them. You're the number one here, and you have to stand up to the crowd in order to convince the public. ”
"Second, after Hogg was arrested, there was an acting county magistrate Sanji here, although he was not in power for a long time, but during this time, he was also a figure in Heihe County, and he had absolute control over all the affairs of Heihe County, especially the finances. We don't know what he's done with the finances here, and if he takes over recklessly without investigating it in advance, in case he makes a big deficit, that's your business. ”
Cleeford couldn't stop nodding his head when he said this, he was amazed in his heart, he really knew the way, if it weren't for Olivia, a person who has been in the government for decades, to help him today, he would probably be in the way of that group of people, his previous subordinates were all spies, spying on the situation, and assassinating individuals, but if he played games with that group of old oilmen in the officialdom, it would be too bad.
Thinking of this, Collifer thanked Von Bock very inauthenticly, and said with a serious face this time: "Olivia, you are very right. Especially the second point, we have to be clear. What do you say we should do now? ”
Olivia is obviously very experienced in this area, Yun smiled lightly, and said: "Actually, it's very simple, my lord, you are waiting here now, I will take Winnie and a few guys into the city to find out the situation of the belongings inside, and after making sure that there is no shortage, I will invite the adults into the city." ”
"Okay, that's it." Clifford smiled: "Everyone has worked hard all the way today, first take a good rest here, and wait until tomorrow, you will take Winnie and capable men into the city to check the accounts." ”
"Yes, thank you for your understanding." Olivia bowed to Clifford.
After arranging the business, the next thing is to pay tribute to the Five Organs Temple, Clifford patted Liana's delicate buttocks, and said with a smile: "Go and find the person just now, let him prepare some delicious food for us, Lord Ben will reward you well today." ”
"Yes, sir." Liana smiled sweetly, curtsy to Clifford, and walked out cheerfully. Her man's career is booming, and her worth is bound to rise, and she is naturally happy.
Liana went straight to the steward, and just said lightly: "Your Excellency is going to eat, you hurry up and prepare." ”
The steward immediately nodded as if he had seen his aunt and grandmother, and said, "Yes, yes." Please go back first, good wine and good food will arrive soon. ”
This scene made Liana very useful, thinking that she was just a little maid in the eldest prince's family, and when she saw others, she had to nod her head like this, and let others call her, and now, she can also be called a lady, she has become a master, and she can call others, which makes her unhappy.
She knew in her heart that all this was given by Clifford, so she made up her mind to serve Clifford well in order to repay him for his kindness to her.
The meal was very lively, and after the banquet was over, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.
Clifford only kept Winnie, men like fresh, Clifford is not exempt from vulgarity, he is very fortunate to his new concubine, but considering that she has work to do the next day, he only let her serve once, and let her sleep.
The next day, Collie sent Olivia to check the accounts, and the dignitaries of Heihe County already knew that the new county magistrate lived in the post house, and in order to establish a good relationship with the leaders in advance, there was an endless stream of people who came to give gifts and ask to see them, but they were all blocked out.
Clifford is a very cautious person, how can he mess with people if the situation is not clear yet? As soon as he accidentally left a handle, he fell into passivity, and Hogg's example was there, and he couldn't help but be cautious.
In the evening, Olivia returned with Winnie and the others, and when she saw Clifford, she said with a hint of anger and rejoicing: "My lord, fortunately, we went to see it. The current acting magistrate has left a deficit of 100,000 silver dollars, and if you take over like this, this account will be credited to your head, and you will have to find a way to pay it back in the future. ”
"100,000 silver dollars?" Clifford said in disbelief: "That Sanji has only been here for a few days, how can he leave so much shortfall?" This kid's guts are too fat, isn't he? ”
With his current financial resources, it was really a bit painful for him to take out 100,000 silver dollars at once, so he couldn't admit this bad debt, and said angrily: "Olivia, please go into the city for a run, let Sanji put that money on his own, Lord Ben will never take him this bad account!" ”
"Yes, sir." Olivia had already guessed that Collie would say this, after all, 100,000 silver dollars was not a small number, and no one would go to charge for this wronged person, and after receiving the instructions, he immediately took two retinues and rushed towards the county office building.
After Olivia left, Collie was a little hungry, and now that his men had begun to move freely, he didn't want to disturb them anymore, and at the same time, he also wanted to have some of his own life, so he said to Liana who was standing beside him: "Go and prepare a table of good wine and food, and our family of four will have a good meal today." ”
Liana smiled sweetly, curtsied to Clifford, and said, "Yes, sir." It's been a while since you've eaten with us like this. ”
Sophia and Winnie were also very happy, and together they helped Liana prepare, and before long, a sumptuous feast was placed in front of Clifford.
Drink a sip of the concubine's poured wine, and then eat a few bites of the dishes copied by the concubine herself.
Although Collie Fu has crossed over, he inevitably has to adapt to the etiquette and customs of this world, but he is originally a Chinese with a strong oriental complex, and has always dreamed of returning to the ancient times to worship the prince and worship the prime minister, and be the king and hegemon, but he didn't expect God to arrange him to this place by mistake.
Clifford does not have the strength to change the external environment now, but he has the strength to change his family, and the three maids have been instilled by Clifford all day long by Clifford with the ancient ideas of three subordinates and four virtues, three wives and four concubines, and have long been assimilated by Clifford, and have regarded themselves as Clifford's concubines.
"Master, eat more, in the future, my grandfather will be busy with work, but you should pay attention to your body."
"Master, take a sip of soup."
It's really cool to eat in this environment.
Lord Coolford's interest was unconsciously arched by the three of them, and before he finished eating, he thought about prostitution during the day, and put his arms around Sophia's little waist, and began to put his hands up and down, touching and saying: "You three little girls, be sincere, see how the master cleans you up." ”
"Nasty."
The three women exclaimed again and again, and Collie was so excited that he was about to succeed, but he heard someone outside shouting: "My lord, someone outside asks to see." ”
"Nope!" Clifford refused without even thinking about it, Nima, don't look at what time it is, come to see Lord Ben at this time, can you have good fruit to eat? I don't have any eyesight, and I have no future.
