Saying that, Jia Lian turned around and left in a chic manner, and the two little officials also got out and followed in.

One of the two is a servant and the other is a soap, which is equivalent to one being a regular worker and the other being a temporary worker.

The official worker was the guy who led Jia Lian to the Sibin Office, and the soap Li was the guy who was pulled and scolded by the sister-in-law of the tea stall outside the door.

The errand who led Jia Lian here, seeing that there were no outsiders everywhere at the moment, hurriedly explained.

"My lord, the little one didn't have the intention to lead you there!"

When he said this, the officer was very embarrassed, but he was very sincere.

Jia Lian understood what this little official was trying to express.

After all, if this matter is not explained, it will inevitably cause misunderstanding;

Anyone who encounters this situation will think that they are not forced to save face and be wronged. Otherwise, how can there be such a coincidence in the world; As soon as I took office today, I was arranged to meet such a place, and then I went to settle the bill.

It's a bit similar to when you first arrive at a new unit, the old employees who are not familiar with the place of life bully the new employees, regardless of the level of the position, is to beat the newcomers.

Even if you're a leader, you'll have that little action of being beaten!

When Jia Lian arranged for a director of the department to wash his feet, he heard how a group of office directors, accompanying secretaries and drivers joined forces to squeeze out the new leaders.

Although this matter is very much bragged, Jia Lian has never been an official, and there is no way to confirm the truth or falsehood. But since people dare to brag like this, then at least from their perspective, it is just right to give the leader a dismount.

As for the leader who doesn't feel it and doesn't care, then I don't know.

Changed to the current Jia Lian here, if the little official doesn't say it, it's okay, but if Jia Lian says it, he will inevitably have to think more.

But when you are a man, you must have a balanced mentality!

Either the money is not spent; If you spend it, whether it's because of face or something else, you can't spend it all, and you still regret it.

If it is, it makes people feel stingy, and the money will be spent in vain, and it will become a thankless task.

Of course, you must remember that if you can spend no money, then you must not spend money. And if you spend money, you must spend it properly.

Jia Lian would not feel sorry for the five taels of silver, but he also thought that this money could not be spent.

And the best way to get closer to colleagues is not only to solve the troubles for them, but more importantly, to stand up for them and to unite with them.

Jia Lian didn't answer the officer's question, but asked the soap Lidao.

"I see that the business outside the door is also bleak, how can so many people come here to do business!"

Soap Li really didn't expect to be asked questions by the leader, and he was a little speechless for a while.

The errand officer was afraid that Jia Lian would misunderstand at this moment, so he immediately replied earnestly.

"Adults don't know, business is not as bleak as adults think; If you really can't get by, you naturally won't do business in this alley, everyone will bring some chewing to the house, which is enough for them to maintain! ”

The officer's tone was resentful, and the words were full of outsiders, and some people didn't know what to do.

Seeing this, Jia Lian understood that there was something wrong here, if the person who was at fault did not have the confidence to complain like this, at least this errand officer stood in his perspective and had a reason to complain.

Jia Lian asked with interest.

"Oh! Then why is it so unbearable to scatter a few taels of silver? ”

This opened the chatterbox of the errand officer.

"Hey, people's hearts are not enough, these guys were poor neighbors earlier, and they couldn't live anymore, so they had this buying business; The previous Honglu Temple Qing Lao Zhang is still a relation, and he can ask for some running water expenses, so he has developed the rules of the monthly settlement! ”

Jia Lian nodded when he heard this, and understood that it was because of the care of the former Honglu Siqing that this small business outside the door had risen.

As he spoke, the officer gave a thumbs up.

"Later, the old man was transferred to the governor of Guangzhou! And so the money was gone! ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the middle hall of Honglu Temple.

"But the silver is gone, and the expenses are still there, the newly appointed Lord Xu of Honglu Temple, who was squeezed out by the Ministry of Rites by the same Jinshi; I can't compare myself to the boss! ”

Speaking of this, the officer clapped his hands and complained all over his face.

"This Lord Xu, the treatment is slightly inferior, so he loses his temper, so no one dares to lose him. Even if we don't have the funds for 'tea', 'charcoal' and 'foot money', we don't dare to slack off, so that we, who are small, can only pay credit every month, and tear down the east wall to make up the west wall, and keep the rules as before. ”

Saying that, the errand officer also glanced at Jia Lian with his head down, Jia Lian also understood that something was wrong, the public has no money, what can't be let Lord Xu know, if he has the ability, he will ask for funds by himself, if not, he will squint honestly.

Why is it embarrassing for a bunch of servants to do this?

That's not right.

But Jia Lian didn't say anything, didn't ask much, it had nothing to do with him.

Seeing that Jia Lian didn't speak, the messenger continued on his own, still talking at length.

"Hey! The people outside didn't know that the yamen didn't have these expenses, and they thought it was the kind of time when they didn't feel distressed about spending public money in the past, so we didn't feel happy to give money a little, so they naturally didn't do it! ”

said that the human heart was not ancient, and sighed for a long time.

"One by one, I don't remember when I used to make a lot of money, I thought that we little officials were greedy for money, and we didn't even give them some soup to drink; Therefore, with a slight delay, there will be no good face! ”

After speaking, the little official patted his thigh, as if he was spitting on the declining world and the decline of the world.

"Now, there is no longer the previous monthly settlement rule, and every time I take something, I don't have a good time!"

And when the little official said the word rules, he deliberately bit the word.

seems to be intentionally or unintentionally dialing Jia Lian.

Jia Lian listened carefully, but he didn't listen to the complaints of the officials, but the taste that leaked out of the obedience.

What the little official said is true or false, and there is no need to believe it, and the news that leaks out inadvertently is the most useful.
