Chapter 225: The Legendary Su Wenjing
Steward Zhou's monthly silver is 20 taels of silver per month, plus the dividends of the fried chicken shop, that is, 2% of the net profit per month.
Last year, I got a total of more than 400 taels of silver, which is actually very rich.
Even if he was in the Wen family before, it was nothing more than this in his heyday.
Childe can give so much, firstly, because he values his ability, and secondly, he is also grateful for his defection when he is in decline.
After arranging everything properly, Su Yizhao began to think about the previous audit.
She was not in a hurry, but caused a conversation.
"I heard that this year, the price of grain collected by the grain bank has fallen again and again, and the people's lives have become even more difficult. Even if there is no drought, the price of those grain banks is too ruthless. ”
Steward Zhou also frowned when he heard this, "Yes! Since last year, the price of grain sold by the people has been falling. But the rice and noodles sold by the grain store did not fluctuate much. ”
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but congratulate himself on his original decision. If he hadn't defected to his son, he and his family would have had a hard time in the past few years.
"If it weren't for the imperial court's suppression, I'm afraid that these people would be even more rampant. It's a pity that the granary is only a little fuller than the previous two years, and those people are about to become demons. Steward Zhou said helplessly and angrily.
"Yes! As soon as the end of this year arrives, the price of grain will rise again. Su Yizhao nodded.
"Isn't it? It's not just that the food has risen, everything has risen, but I just see that everyone has a few spare money in their hands, and they are willing to spend it during the New Year! Steward Zhou shook his head.
"Hmmm! Even the medicinal herbs have risen a lot! Su Yizhao sighed and continued.
Steward Zhou's heart moved, and his eyes condensed slightly, "The medicinal materials have indeed risen a lot, and wolfberries bear the brunt." ”
Su Yizhao hummed noncommittally, and then picked up the tea bowl.
Steward Zhou raised his eyes and saw that Su Yizhao's face was as usual, but there was a drum in his heart.
This king's shopkeeper is really capable! While you're busy preparing for the fat powder shop, you're looking for someone to fool yourself like this?
He had asked the long-term entourage of the pharmacist Mr. Qian before, and learned that the price was exactly the same as the one recorded in the account book, so he didn't check it again.
The retinue must have been bought by the king's shopkeeper.
Steward Zhou only felt that the old face was hot, and the son trusted him so much, and praised him only out of respect for him, but he gradually lost his normal heart and thought very highly of himself.
In the final analysis, because Childe's career has just begun, he is a little contemptuous.
Thinking of his original intention, he couldn't help but feel ashamed.
"Before, the shopkeeper asked me to make a statement to my son, saying that he often felt tired, and he thought that his body was not healthy, so he wanted to recuperate for a while, you see?"
Steward Zhou cautiously glanced up at Su Yizhao, but saw Su Yizhao's face full of surprise.
"It turns out that the king's shopkeeper still has a secret disease? You really shouldn't work too hard, you can handle these things yourself! However, Wan Su Pavilion still has to temporarily choose a temporary shopkeeper. ”
Su Yizhao's move can be described as killing three birds with one stone, it depends on whether Steward Zhou understands her meaning.
"Yes!" Steward Zhou became more and more cautious, and did not say that he had taken the errand, but found someone else to replace him temporarily.
This is to let the two of them fight, and the son is a good fisherman!
Steward Zhou walked out of the courtyard, and a cold wind blew, making him shiver from the cold.
Only then did he realize that his back was already wet.
He shook his head and smiled bitterly, the son is young, but the city is very deep.
was beaten today, and he was also to blame, and he saved face for him.
When he opened the red envelope that Gongzi gave him, he was shocked that it was actually a silver ticket of one hundred taels.
Looking at the other red envelope that had not been sealed, Steward Zhou opened it without the slightest hesitation, and the silver ticket was written on fifty taels.
Since you let yourself wear a red seal and don't seal it, you deliberately showed it to yourself.
Steward Zhou felt guilty again because of Su Yizhao's trust and importance to him.
He climbed into the carriage and told the coachman to rush to Wan Su Pavilion at once.
The twenty-ninth day of the lunar month is the Chinese New Year's Eve, and the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve is the reunion night, and the reunion dinner should be eaten on the reunion night, which is a custom since ancient times.
It's just that the Su family has more direct in-laws, and they have to stay in their respective homes for reunion in Chinese New Year's Eve, so five tables of banquets were set up in advance on the twenty-ninth year of the year, in order to entertain the aunt and grandmother who got married.
Of course, those who are far away will naturally not be able to get together.
Old lady Su looked at the flower hall full of children and grandchildren, and at this festive moment, her face that was not smiling on weekdays couldn't help but be full of smiles.
"Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, and the aunt and aunt who married abroad have returned to the house for reunion, and our Su clan is barely complete today."
As she spoke, the old lady glanced at his grandson-in-law Jiang Lianzhi, who was sitting at the main table with him, and couldn't help but nodded.
Then his eyes fell on the second child again, but his expression was slightly stunned.
Su Yizhao's gaze also fell on one of the men at the main table, who was wearing a round-necked robe with a white brocade brocade, with a fair face, but there were some vicissitudes, but his eyes were very clear.
At this moment, his short goatee trembled slightly, as if muttering something.
This person is the mysterious second master Su Wenjing, who Su Yizhao has been in the Su family for more than two years and met for the first time two days ago.
In the first year of Su Yizhao's dressing, at the family banquet, he heard the discussion at the main table, saying that Su Wenjing's term of office expired at the end of the year, and I don't know if there will be a transfer.
It's a pity that two years ago, Su Wenjing stayed as the magistrate of Wenshan County, Changbei Prefecture, and I heard that Shangfeng gave a medium rating.
Su Yizhao has been here for more than two years, and he naturally knows a lot about officialdom.
That year, there was a locust plague in Wenshan County, and the people were hungry and fled to the neighboring state capital.
Such natural disasters are naturally not caused by manpower, but as the magistrate of Wenshan County, it is my responsibility. It is absolutely impossible to be promoted, and it is already extraordinarily generous to not be demoted and exiled, or even to take off the official hat.
Wenshan County is a bitter cold place, and Su Wenjing asked to take up a post here, presumably after thinking it through.
The performance appraisal is medium, and it is all for the sake of Su's face, otherwise it is really impossible to let it go so easily.
It can only be said that Su Wenjing is unlucky, and no one is to blame.
However, Su Wenjing is not without credit, after the disaster, he resettled the people and replanted food, and Su Wenjing made great efforts. The merits and demerits offset each other, which is the main reason why he can stay in office.
However, what everyone didn't expect was this. Two years later, a few days ago, Su Wenjing received an order from his subordinates.
Su Wenjing was promoted from the magistrate of Wenshan County, Changbei Prefecture, to a magistrate, and transferred to Renzhi County, Wushui County, Linhang Prefecture.
Don't look at it, it's still a county, but it's from the sixth grade, isn't this an official promotion?
If you want to ask all the magistrates, why the magistrates of Wushui County are one level older, then you have to talk about this Linhang Mansion.
Linhang Mansion is the richest place in the south of the Yangtze River, and the grain of this land can be said to be twice that of the north.
Although Wushui County is only a county seat, Linhang Prefecture is a superior prefecture, and Wushui County is much larger than the general small county seat, and it is still the most abundant place for grain production in Linhang Prefecture.
