Chapter 413: Accountants are also officials
At the end of the feast, Ji Pingzi seemed to have a headache, and he didn't know what work to arrange for Confucius?
Seriously! What work he wants to arrange is a sentence, and no one dares to object. But? In this society that relies on network to survive, many fat jobs are not available to ordinary people. Those who are arranged by the aristocracy in the background, you have to arrange them with positions that do not have to do things and can still get a high salary.
If Confucius's position is placed too low, it will not be justified. After all! Confucius is the cornerstone of the great god Fang and a talent highly recommended by Lu Gong. But this talent, after all, is not his own person.
For several days, Ji Pingzi did not make a decision. When it came to the deadline for "admission", Ji Pingzi had to be anxious.
Yang Hu and the others took the benefits of others, and came over to urge them one by one, asking what position the people they recommended were ready to give?
"Now!" Ji Pingzi shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Now! The people you recommend are all easy to arrange, but how does Conciu arrange it? He is highly recommended by the Great God Fang Cornerstone and Lu Gong? ”
"Isn't that easy?" Yang Hu's eyes widened, and he said loudly: "Didn't Lu Gong and Fang Jishi both say that he is a talent? All right! Talent should be put in the position of talent! (Nimadi) ......"
Yang Hu scolded secretly in his heart, and continued to say: "I heard that he is good at arithmetic, isn't it?" On the side of the national grain depot, there is a shortage of a young accountant! Just put Confucius there! Hey hey ......"
Speaking of this, Yang Hu couldn't help but laugh proudly.
I thought: no matter how good your arithmetic is, labor and management will make you miscalculate! Hey! First let you count the inventory, and then let you count the number of this year's autumn harvest. Hey! Labor and management will tire you down! You?
All those who can't get along with the labor-management tiger have to lie down to labor-management!
Labor and management are gods who block and kill gods, and Buddhas block and kill Buddhas! Hey!
"Yes, yes, yes! Arrange Kongqiu to the warehouse! That's what makes the best of people! Doctor Ji! That's it! I think it's okay! Kong Qiu is young and capable of decades. ”
"Good! Good! Another retainer instigated on the side: "Who is the current warehouse accountant, who is Nima Di?" He miscalculated again last year, really! ”
But! Some people are also worried: they think that if Confucius goes to the warehouse to work as an accountant, if they find out about their corruption and false accounts, it will be a big trouble.
So! They immediately objected: "I have some doubts about whether Confucius has that ability?" ”
"I think too? What if Confucius couldn't be this official? Such? This granary! It is related to the royal family and national fortunes of the Lu State, and it is related to the strategic reserves......" someone stood up and said.
He raised the importance of granaries to the level of "strategic reserves".
In fact! He has a ghost in him. I am afraid that Confucius will not be enlightened and will not cooperate with them to make false accounts.
After Ji Pingzi listened to everyone's opinions, he didn't react for a long time.
At last! At the urging of everyone, according to the opinions of the majority, they still agreed and let Confucius become the accountant of the national grain depot.
He also had his own thoughts: if Confucius didn't have that ability, he wouldn't be able to do this accounting. So! There's nothing he can do! It's not that he doesn't give you an official position, but! Your abilities are limited!
Such! not only gave Fang Jishi and Lu Gong face, but also slapped the two of them in the face.
Who are you recommending? A grain depot can't be managed well, what about talents? What about the "son"? Also Confucius? What a hair?
It was unanimously approved: Give Confucius a position as an accountant and try it out first. The old accountant in the past simply let him be laid off or changed jobs.
Lu Zhaogong was very happy to learn that Confucius had an official position, and it was an important profession of the national grain depot. Since he was supported by Ji Wuzi to become the king of the Lu State, he had no right to ask about the national grain depot at all, and he didn't know if there was any stock in the national grain depot and other warehouses?
As a monarch, it's really sad to think about.
If Confucius served as the national grain depot, he could ask Confucius: Do we have stocks in Lu State?
Fang Jishi didn't care what official position Ji Pingzi arranged for Confucius. Anyway! History has proven that Confucius was a later sage. No matter how much you toss, you can't change this fact.
Even if you send someone to assassinate Confucius, he won't die.
Otherwise! Where did the saints come from?
And Confucius was different! In the face of life, he had to bow his head and admit his cowardice, hoping to get the result as soon as possible.
Whether you can make it or not be admitted, there must be a result. Such! It is better to calm down than to hang your appetite like this.
Other people's official positions have been arranged, and he is the only one who has not yet received the "admission" notice. Fang Jishi's two concubines came every day, but it was inconvenient for him to ask.
Qi Guanshi asked the two concubines and got the position of accountant, but she saw that Confucius was reluctant to mention it, so she didn't dare to take the initiative to tell him.
Having followed Confucius for so long, she already got to know him in general terms. The more times like this, the less you can mention what he doesn't want to hear. He was very annoyed and didn't want others to bother him again. He would rather carry it alone than be worried about him.
That's it! It wasn't until the Qi Guan's family was about to give birth that Ji Pingzi sent someone to issue the appointment notice.
The next day, Confucius went to take office.
As a state civil servant, Confucius put on an official uniform for the first time and became an accountant in the state treasury. Above him, there are layers of leaders, leaders who may not even know how to do arithmetic.
"Settle these accounts!"
Day 1! There was a leader who asked the porter to bring a few baskets of bamboo slips (account books) and asked Accountant Kong to make a comprehensive count.
Confucius didn't say a word, and immediately got to work.
For several days, he had settled almost all the accounts. The result is conceivable that the previous accounting was almost all statistics wrong.
Confucius was also not at ease, and every time the results came out, he had to repeat the calculations again. Outcome! The result of all three times was that his statistics were the same, and the old accountant was wrong.
"No! If you continue like this, something will have to happen! Seeing this, the person who had made a false account couldn't help but get anxious and reported to his immediate boss.
"What then?"
"Isn't he countable? Simply! Assign him down! The further down the road, the more you count! The above statistics are added up from the following statistics. We sent him down and went directly to the warehouse to be the storekeeper......"
Warehouse management, as the name suggests, is also a warehouse manager. You record and count when you send Dongdong into the warehouse, and you are responsible for the outbound record after picking up the goods.
Compared with the previous accountant, it is obvious that Confucius's position has declined. But! It hasn't changed.
Confucius didn't care, in order to support his family, he couldn't afford to lose this job.
On his first day as a treasurer, he was busy again.
Anyway, you take over the warehouse, and you have to recount the inventory to see if the actual inventory is the same as the amount of inventory that was handed to you?
Otherwise! If the actual inventory is less than the statistical inventory, you will not be able to tell, and you may even be framed for "corruption".
"What? What the? What the? ”
When the person who made the fake account saw Confucius coming to do this, he panicked on the spot.
Is this worth it? Didn't you expose us?
All the quantities in stock are faked. If you go through such a statistic, you won't show your stuffing on the spot?
"This, this, this? He can't do this hole in the warehouse! Simply! Transfer him to manage and measure the land area of the country! Nima Di! Will you settle the score? ”
