Chapter 82: Establishing Rules (2) (Seeking Collection)
"Lai Xiong, do you also want to apply for transfer?" Receiving Lai Xiong's application for transfer, Meng Yan was a little surprised, it stands to reason that anyone can ask for transfer, and this Lai Xiong is the most undesirable one.
"Yes, please approve it!" Seeing Lai Xiong, who had cleaned up, Meng Yan didn't know what to say!
"Where do you want to go?"
"Jinyi Wei Dahan General Camp!" A glimmer of light flashed in Lai Xiong's eyes and said solemnly.
Meng Yan was suddenly startled, and when he raised his head to meet Lai Xiong's eyes, they were clear and firm, and he didn't see the wandering and decadence of him when he first met.
"Lord Meng wants to do great things, and Lai Xiong is willing to be a pawn of Lord Meng!" Lai Xiong knelt down on one knee and solemnly swore an oath.
"Lai Xiong, okay, this official really didn't misunderstand you!" Meng Yan understood that it was really useless for Lai Xiong to stay in the warehouse, and if he went to the Han General Camp, then Meng Yan would have an eyeliner in the palace!
This Lai Xiong is not simple, and it is too rare!
"Do you need this officer to run it for you?" Meng Yan asked in a deep voice, it is not easy to transfer from the warehouse of the Craftsman Division to the camp of the Han General, even if it is an ordinary captain.
"Master Meng, do you want our relationship to be known?"
"Speaking from the heart, I don't want to, but I can be flexible!" Meng Yan pondered for a moment and said.
"Flexible?"
"Let's put on a show, so come with your ears!" Meng Yan Road.
Lai Xiong leaned his ear over, Meng Yan whispered a few words in his ear, and Lai Xiong listened, revealing a look of horror!
"Master Meng, wouldn't this be too ......?"
"Don't worry, we are not really fighting, so that others will believe that you and I are really enemies, and will not doubt the relationship between you and me!" Meng Yan Road.
"But in case ......"
"It's okay, fighting in the army is a common thing, but you might get some punishment for doing so, would you like to?"
"Willing to do it!" Lai Xiong took a deep breath, he made this decision after a night of tossing and turning, no matter what, he would not give up lightly!
Not for Meng Yan, but for his deceased father, and to prove that he is not a lump of mud that can't support the wall!
It's also a wrap-up to his past over the years.
"Okay, Lai Fatty, you are so bold, you don't listen to the official's orders?" Meng Yan slapped the table angrily.
"The surname Meng, just for such a little, you actually asked Lao Tzu to be a groom for you, phew, Lao Tzu is gone!"
"Okay, you're a fat man, the official sees that you are pitiful, so he kindly gave you an errand and let you earn more money, you are good, you actually scolded the official, you are a bastard!"
"You find someone else, Lao Tzu won't serve anymore!" Lai Xiong slammed the door directly and went out.
"Lai Fatty, you stop for this official!" Meng Yan rushed to the door angrily and shouted at Lan Xiong's back.
Lai Xiong ignored it and left!
"The mud can't support the wall, the official is kind, but you are treated as a donkey's liver and lungs, really!" Meng Yan scolded as he walked back.
"Lord Meng, do you lack a groom?"
"yes, who are you?"
"Villain Ruan Chao, do things under Fan Tou'er!" Ruan Chao smiled and introduced himself.
"You are Ruan Chao?" Meng Yan remembered that there was indeed such a person under Fan Xiping, who was a little smart, his hands and feet were not very clean, and he had a close relationship with several people under Yu Shoucheng, and this guy was probably Yu Yu's eyeliner in the warehouse.
"Are you good at fighting?"
"Lord Meng, you're kidding, my little arms and calves are ......," Ruan Chao smiled.
"Then will you calculate?"
"How can I do this, do you mean, frame me, or fall into the ground?" Ruan Chao's eyes lit up.
Meng Yan shook his head in his heart, this guy is really on the road, he got to the point in one sentence, Meng Yan was worried that he couldn't find someone to do this, and this Ruan Chao came in a hurry.
"Come here, the official asked you to do something, if you do it, the official's groom will be you!" Meng Yan said with a smile.
"Is it true?" Ruan Chao listened and said with joy on his face.
"Do you think the officer is joking with you?" A hint of displeasure flashed on Meng Yan's face, for a second or fifth boy like Ruan Chao, he may not be obedient to give him a good look, but if you are a little stricter, he is better than anyone else!
"The villain understands that the adult's affairs, the villain will definitely do it properly!" Ruan Chao was swept away by Meng Yan's stern eyes, and suddenly felt empty in his heart, and hurriedly agreed!
The eyes of this fierce god are too terrifying, I just don't know who is more powerful between him and that fat man?
"Go ahead, do it well, your benefits are indispensable!"
"Yes, sir!"
"My lord, this Ruan Chao doesn't have a good reputation, why are you ......" As he spoke, Tang Xiao appeared beside Meng Yan.
"Although this person has two ends of the head, it is also useful!" Meng Yan smiled and said, "How about it, is there any pressure to be this assistant to this official?" ”
"Adults raise love, Tang Xiao is walking on thin ice!"
"Haha, a little treasurer assistant makes you so nervous, if you are asked to be a craftsman in the future, won't you be trembling and unable to sleep at night?" Meng Yan laughed.
"My lord, this is not a joke, if you let the Lord of Qianhu hear it, you will be in trouble!" Tang Xiao said with a pale face.
"God knows, you know and I know, how can Lord Qianhu know?" Meng Yan said, "If you are young, if you don't have a little ambition, how can you do it?" ”
"Adults are ambitious too?"
"Naturally, if I have no ambition, what am I going to do in the Craftsman's Division?" Meng Yan said with a smile, "Don't worry, I have ambitions, but I won't do big rebellious things, above the officialdom, if you don't climb up, you will have to be kicked down, this is a way to advance and retreat!" ”
"What the adults said is incisive, Tang Xiao admires!"
"Alright, less sycophancy!" Meng Yan said, "You give me a list of purchases, list the materials and quantities to be purchased in our warehouse, and in addition, you can also get me the suppliers of these materials, it's not difficult to do, right?" ”
"My lord, the purchasing power is not in our warehouse, you are ......"
"Don't worry, I'm naturally useful!" Meng Yandao, there are too many cats in procurement, and the warehouse is not small, so it is necessary to open source and reduce expenditure.
However, the annual procurement fund is fixed, and even if there is an extra little bit above, it will not be too much.
So we can only work hard from throttling, the procurement is a fat difference, the purchase price is a little bit, the purchaser eats kickbacks, and the supplier secretly raises the price, how much of the procurement funds of nearly 50,000 taels of silver flow into the private pockets of the craftsman every year, God knows.
Since Guo Nu has the right to purchase, he has the right not to use it, and it will be invalid when it expires, although it has passed the date of the large-scale purchase of the craftsman division, but at the end of the year, the materials in the warehouse are no longer enough to use, and procurement is necessary.
Meng Yan plans to use the method of "bidding" in later generations to gather material suppliers, and whoever pays the lowest price will buy materials from whom!
Although this method cannot completely prevent the procurement personnel from taking kickbacks and greedy for ink, it can at least reduce the price of materials by one to three percent!
In this way, a single purchase can save hundreds or even thousands of silver, and after a year, this hole can be filled!
The day passed quickly.
"Shen Cong, how is Jiang Feng over there?" Back at home, Meng Yan lay on the couch and asked Shen Cong to change his dressing.
"Brother Jiang is stepping up production over there, but the price of coal has risen again, and it is already five cents a catty!"
"It's so expensive, the people of the capital will not have a good time this winter!" Meng Yandao, this pound of coal is almost worth two catties of rice.
"Well, as long as it doesn't snow these days, the price of coal should drop in a few days!" Shen Cong said.
"How's the shop going?"
"After talking about more than a dozen, the rent price is too expensive, and we don't have much principal in our hands, so we can only open four or five first!"
"Well, don't spread it too big first, otherwise we won't be able to supply it!" Meng Yan nodded, "You go to the needlesmith alley tomorrow, tell Jiang Feng and them, within ten days, open the shop for me first, it takes a while for the people to accept new things, the early publicity, do what I say, I am now on duty in the craftsman department, many things can not be taken care of, some things, let their brothers and sisters discuss it, if it is difficult to decide, you can come to you first, and you will notify me!" ”
"Okay, Childe!"
"Is the ointment ready?" Meng Yan got up, got dressed, and asked.
"It's already boiled, Son, what is this ointment for?" Shen Cong asked curiously.
"It's used to treat the birthmark on Miss Guo's face, it's a unique secret system, you don't want to spread it!" Meng Yan Road.
"Don't worry, Shen Cong won't say it to anyone!"
"Hehe, lie to you, we who study medicine, when we have a heart to save lives and help the wounded, the more people learn how to save people, the better, I cherish myself, that is the work of quacks, if it is really a church apprentice, starve the master, it also means that this master has no ability, and the apprentices taught are also wolf-hearted!" Meng Yan Road.
"What Gongzi said is right, Shen Cong remembers!" Shen Cong said with an awe-inspiring expression.
"Brother Meng, it's time to eat!"
"Shen Cong, let's eat!" Meng Yan greeted, "It's here!" ”
"Why didn't Baozi and Yuying come?"
"Childe, Gongzi Zhang's noodle restaurant has been sealed by Jinyiwei!" Shen Cong snorted.
"What?" Meng Yan's face changed suddenly, "Why don't you sue me for such an important matter?" ”
"I didn't let him say it, it was the people from Beiya who sealed Zhang Bao's noodle restaurant, and someone reported to the government that there were dead rats eating noodles in Zhang Bao's noodle restaurant, so Jinyiwei sent someone to close the shop!" Guo Yue said.
"Didn't you let him not open for the next few days?" Meng Yan Road.
"The noodle shop didn't open for a day, and the loss was great, and Zhang Bao and his wife had no other income, so today they discussed reopening the noodle shop!"
"Confused, hey, blame me for not making it clear to them!" Meng Yan let out a long sigh.
"What about them?"
"I was taken away by Jinyiwei's people, and I guess I went to the Fusi Prison in Beizhen!" Guo Yue lowered her head and said.
"Beizhen Fusi Prison, there is a place for people to stay, no, mine will rescue them, my old Meng family is already sorry for Uncle Zhang, I can't be sorry for Zhang Bao!" Meng Yan Huo Ran got up and said.
"Master Meng, Zhang Bao and his wife were arrested, I looked for my father as soon as possible, and my father said that the people in Beizhen Fusi said that there were all human and physical evidence, so even he couldn't get Zhang Bao and his wife out!" Guo Yue said.
"Beiya is coming for me, it seems that I have affected Baozi and Yuying as a couple!" Meng Yan slammed his fist on the table with great anger and said.
"My father said that even if the husband and wife can't be rescued, at least they can be guaranteed that they won't suffer in prison, and this kind of case shouldn't be tortured!" Guo Yue said.
"Xiaoyue, the people of Beiya have always been ruthless, why do they deal with me, they will not hesitate to use any means, the person who eats the mouse?"
"Brother Meng can rest assured at this point, although this person was taken away by Beiya, there is no life problem at present!"
"I'm afraid these crazy guys will poison people!" Meng Yan said, "There are also these people who secretly colluded to frame the Baozi couple. ”
Guo Yue and Shen Cong's faces changed, Guo Yue knew very well that the people of Jinyiwei were not restricted by the law, they were almost lawless, and caring for human life was almost a compulsory course for them, and they did this kind of thing.
