Qiu Yue lowered her head and thought about it, but she was a little dazed, and said: "But if you want to choose the account room, if you don't look at the accounts they make, what else can you see?" ”

She pondered for a while, but she really came up with a way, and said: "Or before I go, I will send a letter to that Li Jin, and ask him to summon the account office from all over the country to return to Yongzhou, and I will take some numbers from the Beijing division, and when I get to the place, I will ask them to make accounts according to the numbers. ”

This time, there was no need for Ji Qingling to speak, Qiu Shuang in the back said quickly: "Sister Qiuyue, you still take care of so many things, you asked Li Jin to call the accounts to Yongzhou, then who will do the accounts of the rest of the counties and townships?" In order for you to pick a few good account rooms, don't you have to worry about Yongzhou's accounts? ”

Qiu Yue's face turned red, and she defended: "It's just a way to choose an account room, and it's not really a ...... to do this."

Qiu Lu also interjected: "If you really did this, I'm afraid that Li Jin on the front foot received Sister Qiuyue's letter, and the back foot will make people hurry up and come to the capital to sue Mrs." ”

Ji Qingling smiled and said to Qiu Yue: "You can learn, the starting point is a big shelf, the Son of Heaven is a national scholar, and you use the exam to determine the account room - but if there is enough time, the account room is not far away, but it is a good way." ”

Qiu Yue's face turned even redder, and said: "I thought that if I went to ask someone, I was afraid of being coaxed, if I looked at the account book, Mrs. also said that it was too late, and I could use this exam method, and no one would be able to cheat?" ”

"But this method is only whimsical, but it is very frustrating—it is impossible to delay everything in one place in order to choose someone." She paused, and then said, "But I really don't know any of them, so how should I choose?" ”

Ji Qingling smiled and said, "I only ask you, who is most familiar with the accounts in Yongzhou and knows their abilities best?" ”

Qiu Yue didn't pause at all, and blurted out: "Naturally, it's Li Jin." ”

Whoever is in charge is familiar with it.

In the past two years, Li Jin has been in charge of the account room, although he is only in charge, but he is in contact with those people from time to time, and he looks at the accounts every month, so he naturally knows best.

"Then why don't you ask Li Jin to choose for you?" Ji Qingling asked again.

Qiu Shuang had already interjected: "Madame, this is a joke, Sister Qiu Yue snatched food from Li Jin's mouth, and it was his right-hand man who snatched it, how could it be possible to pick it out?" If you give face, you can still pick one that won't slip away, if you don't give face, I'm afraid that whoever is not good will throw out someone's name. ”

Qiu Yue also nodded and said: "That's exactly the truth, because he only asks him, he probably won't tell the truth - whoever doesn't take care of himself first and then others, he is not wrong to do this." ”

Ji Qingling shook his head and said: "You directly asked him to choose the number account room for you, Yongzhou is naturally unhappy, but what if you ask in a different way?" ”

As soon as she said this, the people in the room fell silent.

After a while, Qiu Lu couldn't help but ask, "Madam, is there still a way to ask questions?" ”

Ji Qingling smiled and said: "Yongzhou is now to give Li Jin a profit according to Wansan, if I say to Li Jin, I want to dispose of a field of the same size as Yongzhou in Gyeonggi, starting next year, his share of profits will be divided according to the rent of the two accumulated fields in Gyeonggi and Yongzhou according to 10,000 28, do you say he is willing or not?" ”

Qiu Shuang hurriedly said: "Of course it is!" ”

It's as if the twenty-eight dividends are about to be given to her.

Ji Qingling said again: "Then at this time, you go and ask Li Jin again, ask him for the account office and the manager, and say that he wants to buy the land near the left side of Gyeonggi, do you say he is willing or not?" You say that you don't understand the same, ask him to recommend, which one do you say he will recommend? ”

This time, don't talk about Qiu Yue, even Qiu Shuang and Qiu Lu were so shocked that they couldn't speak.

After a while, Qiu Lu muttered: "Where is it so simple to buy land and land, whether it is good or not, how much and half of the income can be made in a year, if I am that Li Jin, I can divide my money so much in vain, as long as I go out of the account room, I will naturally pick out the best account room - such a good thing, where to find it?" ”

Qiu Shuang followed: "If I were that Li Jin, not only would I give out all the good accounts, but I am afraid that I would also pick out the best stewards and send them to Sister Qiuyue to help her choose the field - if I choose the right one, choose it well, wait until next year, but the benefits will fall into my hands!" ”

While thinking about it, even his eyes turned red with excitement, and said: "It's a pity that I can't compare to their stewardship, otherwise I would have been able to eat all the signature dishes in the seventy-two main restaurants from beginning to end!" ”

As soon as Qiu Shuang's words came out, no one laughed at her for being unproductive, but Qiu Lu said helplessly: "With so much money, you only think about eating seventy-two restaurants?" ”

Qiu Yue thought about it for a long time, and couldn't help asking: "But this is not the same as the truth that Mrs. said last night to call the talent of arithmetic!" This twenty-eight profit is a real copper and iron silver coin, I can't promise it out empty-mouthed, right? Once promised, it will be given! Where did it come from? And you can't talk nonsense! I can consult with my wife and take this money out, but the officials can't consult with the Chinese book and take this money out! ”

Ji Qingling said: "Although you can't take out the money, you can help save money." ”

She smiled slightly and said, "Daoluo Tongbian, where does the money come from?" Where does the material come from? ”

The three girls said in unison: "Naturally, it is paid by the three divisions!" ”

Ji Qingling shook his head and said: "Not necessarily, according to the story, the materials are jointly allocated by the Ministry of Industry, the Third Division, and the local Yamen, while the Minling is jointly recruited by the Ministry of Industry and the local Yamen." ”

She stretched out her hand and pointed to the bricks in the courtyard outside, and said, "The bricks for repairing the canal are called bright bricks among the three divisions, and if you want bright bricks, you can only pay from the three divisions." ”

He also said: "But if you want adobe bricks, you will pay from the local yamen." ”

Qiu Shuang was stunned and said: "What is the difference between adobe bricks and Ming bricks, they are all bricks, why should they be called from different places?" ”

Ji Qingling shook his head and said: "These old rules have been implemented for nearly a hundred years, and they have long been established, and their origins cannot be examined, but they cannot but be followed, for example, generally the craftsmen are called, and the stonemasons are called, which is the responsibility of the Ministry of Industry, and the craftsmen can be called, but the local yamen is responsible." ”

When she said this, she asked again: "If you are the secretary of the Ministry of Works, would you like to use more open bricks or adobe bricks for this guide to Luotongbian?" ”

Qiu Yue immediately said: "Of course, I use more adobe bricks, so I don't have to worry about it!" ”

As soon as she spoke, she already understood, and immediately said: "The three divisions are unwilling to contribute, the Ministry of Industry and the local yamen are naturally not willing to contribute, the Ministry of Industry is unwilling to contribute, and the yamen is naturally unwilling to contribute. ”
