Wei Yan was actually very unhappy.

It's not because what I'm doing now is unpleasant, it's purely because I'm in an unhappy mood.

Wei Yan is Liu Bei's subordinate, and he must obey Liu Bei's orders unconditionally; He is also the nominal owner of the Recruiting Pavilion, and it is also his duty to lead the Magi to the post.

Obeying the order to work, Wei Yan has no dissatisfaction, what he is dissatisfied with is purely Zhang Xi.

In Wei Yan's opinion, Zhang Xi is a sycophant, and he likes to chew words and drop the book bag and pretend to be a literati, which makes Wei Yan feel unpleasant when he looks at it.

It's not that Wei Yan hasn't seen literati speak, Jian Yong, Mi Zhu, and Yi Ji don't speak like this Mr. Zhang, not all of them are flat and straightforward.

Anyway, Wei Yan's first impression of Zhang Xi was very bad, and now that he came to welcome Zhang Xi to take office, he naturally didn't have a good face.

As for Zhang Xi, his face is not good.

originally got a strange official position as the head of grain and grass, Zhang Xi was still thinking about what to do after taking office, but it turned out that it was the big man who gave him a look at himself early in the morning.

Zhang Xi didn't know that this big man was the nominal owner of the Zhaoxian Pavilion, and he thought that this was a gatekeeper.

Although Zhang Xi is the soul of modern people, after a month of marquee, he has been somewhat infected with the temper of the scholars of this era..... How could anyone send a gate security guard to greet him in office?!

Again, Wei Yan didn't like Zhang Xi, and Zhang Xi's senses for Wei Yan were not good..... Although the current Zhang Xi does not know that the big man in front of him is the general of the future Han Zhengxi.

Wei Yan came to greet Zhang Xi with a black face, and Zhang Xi also followed Wei Yan to take office with a black face...... I don't know, I think this is Wei Yan coming to arrest someone.

Xiao Qibao really couldn't rest assured of his master, and refused to leave his master's side half a step.

Wei Yan was a little silent, but considering that the lord Liu Bei had warned him to treat him politely, and Zhang Xi insisted, he didn't say anything.

Anyway, the place where Zhang Xi took office was not a military camp, and Wei Yan was rarely accommodating.

And Zhang Xi, under the guidance of Wei Yan, finally came to his place of work.

"This is where the gentleman conducts his official business!"

Wei Yan led Zhang Xi to a warehouse and said to a table placed at the door of the warehouse.

Zhang Xiqiang resisted the urge to twitch the corners of his mouth and carefully observed this warehouse...... There's nothing to look at, it's a granary.

Co-authoring the so-called "grain and grass master book" is really a granary job?!

What the hell am I .....

Forget it, for the sake of 200 stone corn a year, let's bear with it.

According to the Han system, 200 stone of corn a year is really a lot, and the state thorn history of Yulu is only 600 stone a year, a master book, and only in charge of grain and grass...... Thinking about it like this, Zhang Xi instantly felt a lot better.

"Since Mr. has taken office, it is inconvenient to disturb him, so I will leave!" Wei Yan kept a straight face and said polite words.

After saying this, no matter what Zhang Xi's reaction was, he turned around and left.

The angry little Qibao grimaced at Wei Yan's back.

Zhang Xi was a little unbearable...... At the age of fifteen, why is he still like a child?

Oh, fifteen-year-old seems to be really a half-grown child, and I, a twenty-year-old adult, don't join in the fun with children.

Zhang Xi looked at Wei Yanyuan's back and slowly stretched out one of his fingers.

Well, that's a lot more comfortable.

Office.

Zhang Xi sat down on his "office seat", and immediately a treasurer sent documents, checked the existing stock of grain and grass with Zhang Xi, and then told Zhang Xi about the scope of his duties.

Xiao Qibao stood aside obediently, helping Zhang Xi to study ink and prepare things like a brush and carving knife.

Under the introduction of the treasurer, Zhang Xi finally figured out the specific work of his "master book of grain and grass".

It's not just a storekeeper.

From the distribution of grain and grass for each battalion of the whole army, the amount of rewards and punishments, to the adjustment of food in the army, and the preparation of various camping materials, it is necessary to dispatch them with their own "grain and grass master book".

To put it simply, it is the governor's logistics and grass, which is a very important position.

Well, it's a bit like what Yang Yi did at the beginning.

It's just that Yang Yi is the governor of the entire Northern Expedition army, and Zhang Xi is only in charge of the three thousand military horses directly under Liu Bei's account, and he is in charge of four or five warehouses, which looks a little shabby.

But thinking about Yang Yi's future achievements, Zhang Xi instantly felt as if what he had done was not so promising...... Although Zhang Xi himself hates Yang Yi very much.

In any case, when a new official takes office, he must first familiarize himself with the work.

On the first day of work, Zhang Xi was under the leadership of the treasury officer, checked the account books, determined the quantity of materials in the warehouse, and worked all day.

After getting off work, he didn't go back to the inn directly, but asked Xiao Qibao to run an errand, ordered some food at the inn, and invited a few treasurers to have some dinner.

It's a pity that there is no wine, but Zhang Xi still asked Xiao Qibao to ask the innkeeper to buy some bacon and entertain a few colleagues.

I'm going to have to get in on the relationship.

Otherwise, if you take office as a new official, you don't understand anything, you don't know anything, and these treasury officials secretly make you stumbling, and you won't be able to do anything.

Zhang Xi knows the truth that "officials are as smooth as oil", and he didn't think that these people would dig out their hearts and lungs with you as soon as they came up, as long as they didn't make trouble for themselves.

The first day of work passed peacefully.

In the next half month, Zhang Xi still went to work every day, got off work, and took inventory of the warehouse...... It's quite busy.

There is a rule in the army for the daily distribution of grain and grass, and Zhang Xi only needs to do it.

It is winter, and although the army is practicing, the frequency is not high, so there is no reward and punishment to be dispatched, and there is no need to camp.

And Zhang Xi's most busy thing during this time is to prepare for the year-end feast.

The New Year is just over a month away, and before the end of the year, there will be a customary reward for the whole army, and each battalion will give different rewards according to their performance, which is a kind of incentive.

Zhang Xi has been busy with this matter recently.

How much each battalion will be rewarded, whether Zhang Xi said it or not, there are military judges based on daily records, and Liu Bei personally decides.

After all, Liu Bei is a grass platform team at this time, and there are only 3,000 people under the account, and Liu Bei still has the heart to take care of these small things.

If there were 300,000 people, it is estimated that Liu Bei, the lord, would not be so detailed.

Zhang Xi is mainly responsible for the distribution of these reward materials.

Don't underestimate this distribution.

You must know that the materials of this year are not industrialized products, and by the end of the year, everyone can get the same New Year's goods home...... The things of this year are all loose pieces.

Bacon, for example, can't be distributed the same in every battalion.

Some battalions may be distributed with pork, some may be distributed with dog meat, some even with a few pickled fish, and so on.

Sorry, no lamb.

Mutton is something enjoyed by princes, although the world is in turmoil and the etiquette system is corrupt, but mutton is still only eaten by nobles or generals.

There are very few reserves of mutton in the treasury, which are basically supplied to the lord Liu Bei and a few close generals.

Although in these days, it is a very luxurious thing to have meat to eat, the sergeants don't care about any "expensive meat and cheap meat", whether it tastes fishy or shameful, and they are very satisfied if they can eat meat.

But in everything, there is no lack of wealth and unevenness.

Why are they all soldiers, the battalion next door can eat pork, and we only have fish?!

are also generals, why can so-and-so eat mutton, and I can only grill a fish to try it?!

So the Tao in this, how can Zhang Xi, a newcomer, take care of it thoroughly.

Fortunately, in the past half a month, Zhang Xi invited those old officials to have a few meals, and finally got the initial trust of these people.

Of course, there are times when something almost happens.

For example, a certain black house, who came to the treasury to receive the best year-end reward, actually said something "how can you get no wine at all for the New Year", that is, he stayed in the treasury and did not leave, and forced him to drink, ignoring the prohibition of the lord Liu Bei.

But Zhang Xi can't be blamed for this, there is no such thing as wine on the reward roster, not to mention that the lord Liu Bei is forbidden to drink, and the wine stored in the treasury is used to deal with the lord Liu Bei's official banquets, and if one jar is used, one jar will be missing.

Zhang Xi originally felt that this black guy was rude, and thought about whether to learn Dong Xuan's strong order, but considering that the black guy in front of him was not a public supervisor, the fist was really bigger than the bowl, and Zhang Xi felt that his small body might not be able to bear it.

In addition, although this guy played tricks in front of Zhang Xi and scared people with a loud voice, he didn't use it in the end, and he couldn't stand the persuasion of the treasury officials around him, and even whispered to Zhang Xi, Zhang Xi had to secretly stuff a jar of rice wine to gag this black guy.

The black guy left satisfied, but what the treasurer said in Zhang Xi's ear made Zhang Xi a little upset.

"The third general is the righteous brother of the lord, he drinks secretly on weekdays, and the lord also turns a blind eye, why should the lord offend him for nothing?!"

Well, it was this sentence that made Zhang Xi's whole person feel as if something was wrong.
