Early in the morning of the 14th, the conference room on the first floor of the Government Council was full of people.

Two hundred interviewers, interviewers, representatives of various departments, journalists, representatives of the royal family, etc., were all present.

The interview process is somewhat straightforward.

Five interviewers score, and finally calculate the total score in order, and the top 15 are admitted.

The interview consists of three parts, the first is physiognomy and appearance.

For civil servants, appearance is important.

The second is conversation.

It is required to speak clearly, the logic is clear, the words are accurate, and many words are not too much to say.

The most important thing is to be able to say auspicious words.

The auspicious language is very simple, with a bit of tongue curling and a lot of slang.

And the language of the various collars of Great Xia is not very different, and the tongue is a little straight when pronounced.

But as long as you study hard, you can still pass the test.

The third level is the physical examination.

Vision, hidden diseases, disabilities, and major medical history (including infectious diseases) will be decided according to the situation.

Women will also be given a gynecological examination.

Therefore, both men and women should be naked.

After some tossing, it was past noon, but fortunately, the government affairs court served food, and after everyone finished lunch, they waited patiently for news in the conference room.

This time is completely different from when the written test results were released, and no one turned their heads and ears to make loud noises.

After all, this is where the central government is located, and there are their own direct officials next to them in the future, so they can't be honest one by one.

Only those reporters can unscrupulously wander among the crowds, looking for questions from east to west.

About an hour later, the Human Resources Department counted the results, divided the rankings, and began to announce the admission list, and Zhao Huan was impressively listed.

"That's it!"

After a dinner hosted by the Government Council, everyone dispersed, and two days later they had to concentrate on training and then practice.

The news spread quickly, and when Zhao Huan returned home, the house was already full of Daoxi guests.

During the seven-day training period, in addition to the entertainment of inviting guests to dinner, it is to stay up with fear, because the seven-day training period is also a publicity period.

In other words, if there is a report of Zhao Huan's morality, style and other bad deeds, then Zhao Huan will be investigated by the special case team of the Government Council.

If the evidence is conclusive, Zhao Huan's guilt will be increased by one degree; if there is no substantiated evidence, the accuser will sit back.

Maybe Zhao Huan's character played a role, maybe it was Huan's sister-in-law's strategy that worked, in short, he passed the publicity period safely and became one of the lucky one hundred and thirty-six people.

Those who are eliminated will no longer be replaced, and will be counted as supernumerary places for next year's recruitment.

After getting familiar with the work process of the Finance and Taxation Department, Zhao Huan followed the experience of his predecessors.

Similarly, this batch of incidents of recruiting civil servants in batches has become a feast for the media to compete for sales.

Not to mention anything else, even Zhao Huan's 'fear of guilt' seems to have been exposed, yes, it is the handiwork of the "Time Magazine" newspaper.

Without waiting for Zhao Huan to react, the task came.

"What, let me go to Xiangyuan to collect taxes?"

Zhao Huan looked at his director, his voice was a little trembling, and his legs were a little swinging.

Levying Your Majesty's tax, did I hear it wrong or is it crazy from above?

"This is the minister's order, you prepare first, and you will go over tomorrow morning. ”

After the director finished speaking, he also shook his head a little strangely and turned to leave.

God, it's falling!

Zhao Huan returned home in despair, and under the gaze of Sister-in-law Huan, he explained the matter and the situation.

"We didn't offend anyone, but we got this task of sending to death, I'm afraid it's not so simple, I'll go back to my mother's house, you can use the rice in the pot first." ”

After Sister-in-law Huan finished speaking, she left the house with a floral package, and when she came back, it was already midnight.

Zhao Huan didn't have the heart to eat, let alone sleep, and when he saw his wife coming back, he was busy and greeted him.

"What's the matter, what does my father-in-law have to say?"

"There's no good way, just let you go tomorrow, it's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided. Sister-in-law Huan drank two sips of cold and white, and only after a while did she reply to her husband's words.

"This, isn't this the same as not saying?" Zhao Huan was obviously a little angry.

"Fool, no one dares to borrow a knife from His Majesty's hand to kill. ”

"This ......"

Zhao Huan has a straight temperament, but it doesn't mean that he has a low IQ, as soon as his daughter-in-law said this, she also understood seventy-seven eighty-eight.

"That's right, in the past, when I had all the formalities, I was doing things according to orders, so what was there to fear. ”

On the second day, things went well, and Zhao Huan and his entourage saw Wang Xuan in apprehension.

"Zhao Huan, well, introduce yourself, I don't have time to read your resume. ”

Wang Xuan lowered his head, he was processing the official document of Xingyao Bay, and he didn't raise his head before he put out this sentence.

Zhao Huan, who lowered his head and was nervous, peeked at the supreme helmsman of auspiciousness, young, really young.

"Ahem!"

Xiao Qin coughed and pulled Zhao Huan, who was out of the world, back.

"Yes, Your Majesty. The minister's surname is Zhao Minghuan, a person from Hedong Jianye, who came to Jixiang at the beginning of the previous year to ask for a life......"

Zhao Huan said very slowly, but very carefully.

Wang Xuan still treated his official business with his head down as if he was nothing, and he looked a little disrespectful to Zhao Huan.

After Zhao Huan finally introduced his auspicious resume, Wang Xuan also happened to put down the duck quills in his hand and raised his head to look at Zhao Huan.

"How many people did your finance and taxation department recruit this time?" asked Wang Xuan.

"Back to Your Majesty, a total of three people have been recruited. Zhao Huan said.

"What sets you apart from the other two, do you know?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister, the minister loves to fight unevenly, and he is straightforward, so he often offends people......"

"You know yourself quite well, tell me why you want to enter the Ministry of Finance and Taxation. ”

Why? And why, of course, for money and power.

Zhao Huan is not so great, nor is he so hypocritical, so he said bluntly: "The minister is an immigrant, and his father-in-law's family has some complaints about the minister, if it were not for the auspicious marriage law, the minister would not be able to marry his current daughter-in-law, so the minister wants to make a career to prove the minister's ability." ”

Wang Xuan knew that Zhao Huan was upright, but he didn't expect to be so upright, and he was in a daze for a while.

Zhao Huan saw that the king did not react, so he blushed and continued: "The minister's family is a little tight, and the Ministry of Finance and Taxation has high treatment and good benefits, so he chose it this way." ”

Talent!

Wang Xuan sighed, "One is for power, so as to prove his talent, and the other is for money, a gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way, you are good." ”

Zhao Huan was ashamed.

"There is a tax to be calculated in Jinxiangyuan, you can see if it is appropriate. ”

After the words fell, Xiao Qin moved out the accounts of Wang's Distillery, using the bookkeeping method of loans, which was easy to use.

This is a secret, perhaps not even the Minister of Finance and Taxation Wang Yao is not clear.

In Zhao Huan's eyes, there is no choice whether he can watch it or not, but he will watch it according to the order.

I thought that the money I experienced during my internship in the Finance and Taxation Department was enough, but I didn't expect that the money was not worth mentioning at all in the small account book of Wang's Winery.

It was an astronomical amount, and the long string actually made his breath short.

"From now on, Wang's Distillery will pay taxes according to the auspicious "Tax Law", come, you calculate, according to the record of this sales ledger, how much tax needs to be paid?"

Zhao Huan was puzzled: "Your Majesty, you are going to pay this tax really, isn't it a waste of manpower and material resources from your left hand to your right hand?" ”

"Hahahaha, public is public, private is private, how can public and private be mixed?"

"This ......"

Zhao Huan thought that the king's words made sense, so he stopped dwelling on them and began to calculate.

After tea, Zhao Huan replied: "Back to Your Majesty, the winery is a violent industry, and it should be taxed one out of ten." If the agency fee and business tax are added, the tax needs to be paid 2.35 million gold coins. ”

With a "snap", the special tax account book in Zhao Huan's entourage fell to the ground, and the entourage's nervous face turned pale, and he lowered his head and trembled and couldn't speak.

This is a loss of honor, and the crime can be light or severe, depending on whether the king cares about it or not.

"For tax collectors, this account book is a steel knife in the hands of a soldier, and if you lose it, you will be killed. ”

Xiao Qin picked up the account book and handed it back to the entourage as he spoke.

The attendant held back an expression that was more ugly than crying, blushed, nodded again and again, and shook his head one after another, completely out of proportion.

"I won't pay this money back. ”

Uh, Zhao Huan was confused.

"Since February, you will be responsible for the tax on the winery, and it will be stored separately and earmarked. ”

The short and peculiar meeting ended like this, not only Zhao Huan was in a fog, but the entourage was even more dizzy, holding the account book tightly with both hands, looking at the four directions nervously, everyone who passed by looked like a thief who wanted to snatch his account book.

After the two returned to the ministry, they were called over by Wang Yao and asked about everything.

Then Wang Yao told the two to do a good job and live up to His Majesty's trust, so they let them go back.

As usual, the director made another inquiry, but did not give any instructions.

"Uncle, what does Your Majesty mean by this?"

Wang Yao didn't understand the intention of Wang Xuan's move, and his heart was uneasy, so he visited his uncle Wang Zhi late at night.

"Your Majesty's actions always seem to be casual, but they have been proven to have deep significance afterwards, not without a target, then Zhao Huan is afraid that he is going to hit the big luck, and the time has come. ”

"Universiade?" Wang Yao didn't understand.

"Well, remember the black manager?"

"Is it the original sales of Yongsheng, and now the big housekeeper of Xiangyuan?" Wang Yao knew about this person.

"It's him, he was just a coolie, and after the establishment of Yongsheng, he took the opportunity to enter the factory to do sales. first showed his face at the internal agent meeting of Jixiang, and later presided over the investment promotion meeting for the entire Great Xia, which was valued by His Majesty, and now he has become the head of Xiangyuan. ”

Wang Zhi tells the history of Xiao Hei's family, and all auspicious officials are familiar with it.

In the hearts of all grassroots officials, Xiao Hei is already an existence at the level of the grandfather.

He is the beacon of the struggle, the direction of progress, the goal of effort, and the idol of life.

Wang Zhi's narration made Wang Yao jealous, isn't it Zhao Huan, will he be the next little black?

"Don't be greedy and jealous, if he becomes successful, you are the first to do it. ”

"Yes, nephew understood!"

Wang Zhi's timely reminder made Wang Yao sweat coldly, and he was afraid, compared with his uncle's qi cultivation kung fu, he was still far behind.

"But, what does Your Majesty mean by summoning a novice tax collector alone?"

As soon as Wang Yao didn't figure out this problem, he couldn't feel at ease for a day, and the subordinates of his subordinates were worried about the bosses of their bosses, and no one could deal with them calmly.

"It should be related to taxation. Wang Zhi felt that Wang Xuan was playing another game of chess, a big game of chess.

"Now Jixiang is the fourth kingdom on the mainland, and the martial arts side is enough to protect itself, and as time goes by, Jixiang's military power will become stronger and stronger, so His Majesty has turned his attention to government affairs. ”

"Government affairs, hasn't Your Majesty been involved in political affairs for a long time?" Wang Yao was still puzzled.

"Confused, whether Your Majesty is involved in political affairs or not is determined by the priority of the affairs faced, and now there is no need to worry about the military, so the only thing left is political affairs. ”

According to his own understanding, Wang Zhi began to analyze the causes and consequences of his nephew, hoping to pour some water and nourish him with little political wisdom.

"Why do you think people call Your Majesty a once-in-a-millennium famous lord, regardless of friend or foe?"

"Of course, it's cultural and martial arts. Wang Yao said.

"Wrong. ”

"Wrong?"

Wang Zhidao: "The reason why Your Majesty is called a once-in-a-millennium celebrity is because of his overall view and his far-sighted foresight. ”

"This ......"

Wang Yao fell into deep thought, and began to carefully read the bits and pieces since Wang Xuan took power, the more he pondered, the colder his heart became!

Xiangyuan.

Wang Xuan's recent rest is okay, but he often changes his underwear in the middle of the night, and he can't prevent it, so he is very helpless.

At this time, as Wang Zhi said, he is in the next big game of chess, and this game of chess has to start from finance and taxation.
