Wei Shuo accepted Yang Ying's invitation without hesitation, it was obvious that if he could enter the Taishou Mansion to do things at the moment, he would completely resolve the existential crisis he was facing, so he followed Yang Ying to the Taishou Mansion. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Take Wei Langjun to the side courtyard for placement, I'll go see my father first."
As soon as he arrived at the gate of Yang's mansion, Yang Ying handed over Wei Shuo to his subordinates, and he walked straight towards the mansion.
Wei Shuo was not dissatisfied with this, and very respectfully followed the servants of the Yang Mansion to a wing room, which was specially used to accommodate temporary guests.
After a while, a servant brought Wei Shuo snacks and tea, and at this time he was already extremely hungry, so he couldn't care so much, so he picked up the snacks and devoured them.
Not to mention that Wei Shuo was eating and drinking in the wing, but Yang Ying came to the inner courtyard happily, first greeted his father Yang Han, and then asked about the recruitment of officials in the Taishou Mansion.
Yang Han frowned, glanced at his son with dissatisfaction and asked, "Why do you ask about this matter?" ”
"Oh, father, didn't my son see that you have been worried about this matter recently, so he wanted to recommend you a talent to solve your urgent needs."
"Humph! What talent do you have to recommend?! ”
Her father's contempt suddenly aroused Yang Ying's rebellious mentality, so she swore a curse: "Father, how can you look down on people? The person recommended by my son this time is from outside the territory, and he has profound knowledge of arithmetic, if you don't believe it, you can personally inspect one or two. ”
"Extraterritorial? How do you know someone from outside the territory? Yang Han's eyes shrank, staring at Yang Ying tightly and asked.
"This ...... This is also met by chance! In short, after you have seen it, you will know the truth and the truth, and the son will not accompany you to grow old if he still has something to see his mother. After speaking, Yang Ying hurriedly left the hall and walked towards the backyard.
Yang Han looked at the back of his son's departure thoughtfully, and at the same time became interested in the 'people from outside the territory' recommended by his son, anyway, he had nothing to do, so he ordered his subordinates to bring Wei Shuo to meet.
At this time, Wei Shuo, who was already full of tea and food, learned that Taishou had summoned him, hurriedly tidied up his clothes, and followed the servant to the hall respectfully.
"Grass people Weishuo meet Taishou-sama!" Wei Shuo followed the plot of the modern costume drama TV, and seemed to salute.
Originally, Yang Han thought that his son was talking nonsense, but seeing that Wei Shuo didn't even have basic etiquette, he dispelled his inner suspicions, believing that the person who came was born in a barbarian land outside the territory, otherwise how could he not even understand the basic etiquette?
"Listen to what Xiao'er said, you are from a barbarian background and proficient in arithmetic?"
"The prince of your mansion is in love, Shuo doesn't dare to say that he is proficient, he only knows a thing or two."
Seeing that Wei Shuo was so modest, and then looking at him to see that he was not afraid of himself as a taishou, and his tone was not humble to ordinary people, Yang Han couldn't help but think a little higher in his heart, and he couldn't say that he really had a little real talent.
Yang Han looked at Wei Shuo and said lightly: "You are quite modest, there is indeed a lack of an assistant official who is proficient in arithmetic in the mansion at the moment, as long as you can pass this assessment, you can serve as the Cangcao Shi subordinate to the Taishou Mansion." ”
"Listen to your lordship's orders!"
Wei Shuo didn't pay attention to the matter of Taishou's investigation at all, with his knowledge of arithmetic, it was not a sure thing to deal with an exam that was estimated to be not even difficult in junior high school mathematics?
"In that case, then so-and-so will test your ......"
"I don't know how adults are going to take the test?"
"It's simple, the official will come up with a few arithmetic questions at will, as long as you can calculate it and answer it correctly, even if you pass the exam."
Hearing this, Wei Shuo was secretly happy in his heart, it was not that he looked down on Yang Taishou in front of him, but it was that the knowledge accumulation of nearly two thousand years was not so simple and could be surpassed.
If I really lose, I'll buy a piece of tofu and kill me! Wei Shuo thought viciously.
"Let's get the question out!"
Yang Han pondered for a moment, and suddenly saw the tea leaves on the table, and the corner of his mouth showed a playful expression: "Then please listen to Wei Xiaolangjun...... Taishoufu wants to hoard all kinds of tea, but check the market price to get the Jiangdong origin is a catty of 200 Wen, Shandong origin of a catty of 100 Wen, unfortunately at this time Taishou Mansion property can not turnover, can only pay 100 yuan......"
“…… The official demanded that the tea produced in Jiangdong should be twice as much as that of Shandong tea, and asked, how much tea is obtained in the two places? ……”
Yo! Wei Shuo's eyes lit up, he looked at Yang Han with some surprise, and muttered in his heart: "I originally thought that the exam questions were just at the level of elementary school students, but I didn't expect to become a junior high school student all of a sudden?" This is too guarding! ”
Wei Shuo's eyes really made Yang Han feel uncomfortable, and he coughed and asked, "Wei Langjun has a conclusion?" ”
After only a slight groan, Wei Shuo said in a low voice, "A total of 400 catties of Jiangdong tea and 200 catties of Shandong tea were purchased with 100 yuan of money!" ”
"Please keep up with the question!"
Perhaps realizing that the topic he came up with was too simple, and being underestimated by the other party, Yang Han was faintly unwilling in his heart, and decided to increase the difficulty of the investigation.
"In ancient times, there was a man who suddenly picked up a copper coin when he was walking on the road, and picked up two on the second day and three on the third day.
After finishing the question, Yang Han looked at Wei Shuo with some smugness, and said secretly: "I can't answer it now, right?" ”
However, to Yang Han's expectation, Wei Shuo gave the answer faster this time than last time, only to see Wei Shuo shook his head, glanced at Yang Han, and opened his mouth to say the answer.
"Hehe, it's a total of 68,996 yuan (366 days a year here)!"
At this moment, the expression on Yang Han's face was extremely exciting, and after looking at Wei Shuo for a long time, he walked to the table without saying a word, picked up the calculation chip and began to calculate. After about a stick of incense, Yang Han came up with the exact same answer.
As expected, the next arithmetic questions from Yang Han were not difficult, and Wei Shuo didn't even use a pen to calculate, and he only relied on mental arithmetic to answer all the questions.
Such a terrifying speed of answering the question completely shocked Yang Han, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it anyway, there was such a proficient arithmetic scholar in the world, not to mention that this person was still so young.
And Yang Han was even more shocked after finishing the answer, because Wei Shuo didn't miscalculate a question!
"Okay, Wei Langjun is really proficient in arithmetic, and from today on, you will be the Cangcao History of the Taishou Mansion!"
"Dare to ask Taishou, what are your responsibilities?"
"Cang Caoshi's responsibility is to record and keep the materials in the warehouse, and to be familiar with the quantity of each material in the warehouse, so that the old man can consult and inspect at any time. In addition, it is necessary to keep in mind that all the materials entering and leaving the warehouse must be recorded, and if there is any difference, the official will ask! ”
"Finally, the old man reminds you again, Cangcao Shi is a master of wealth, naturally rich in oil and water, and few people will fill their pockets. The predecessor Cang Cao Shi was investigated by the old man for corruption and dereliction of duty. ”
"The subordinates must keep in mind the teachings of the adults!"
Speaking of this, Wei Shuo raised his head and asked a little embarrassedly: "Dare to ask how many people don't know Cangcao Shi?" Now that I have no money in my lower body, can I advance part of it first? ”
"Five times a month, enough for your expenses for a month. Considering that Xiao Langjun has just arrived, the official is sympathetic to his subordinates, you can temporarily live in the guest rooms in the mansion, and then move out when you have a place to live in the future. ”
"Thank you so much!"
……
Coming out of the hall, Wei Shuo still couldn't believe that he had become an ancient civil servant, even if this civil servant was only a petty official with a rank of two hundred stones, it was enough to make him excited.
In modern society, it is difficult for ordinary children to be admitted to the civil service, and even if they are admitted, it is difficult to get a formal establishment. It's like now, just by being taken a few questions casually by Taishou, he became one of the subordinate officials of Taishoufu, and it is also a very important position Cangcao History.
In fact, Wei Shuo didn't know that in the Wei and Jin dynasties, the Taishou and the Assassin had the right to recruit subordinate officials, and they only needed to report afterwards.
Weighing the heavy five guan money in his hand, Wei Shuo suddenly refreshed, looked at the backyard of Yang's mansion and said secretly: It's not in vain to give the lighter to the kid surnamed Yang!
Back at his residence, looking at the money piled on the table, Wei Shuo suddenly felt a little worried, how could he go on the street? Now I feel a little nostalgic for the bank cards of the future. In the end, there was really no way, so he had to wrap it in a rag and wrap it around his waist, and then walked out of Yang's mansion with great interest and walked towards the market in the distance.
