Wang Xianling grabbed Ye Lao tightly and was unwilling to let go.

Seeing this, Chen Ping had no choice but to step forward to relieve the siege and ask what happened.

If the war really resumes, then I'm afraid I will have to take the teacher to sneak away first.

Xu is Wang Xianling knew that he was out of shape, and he suddenly felt embarrassed, so he quickly adjusted his clothes and clothes, and instantly restored the demeanor of the county honor.

But the dirt on his body made him look a little funny.

He was deeply moved, apologized again and again, and told Ye Lao the ins and outs, and said, "Ye Lao can come to help me, I am completely relieved." ”

"Otherwise, the treacherous officials below don't know how much people's fat and people's ointment they have to swallow."

"If you add the people's strikes and troubles, then the toss of this county in the past few years has really become a complete joke!"

After listening to Wang County's words, Ye Lao breathed a sigh of relief, at least the situation is not too bad, but it really has to be dealt with quickly, and it will change later.

Several people did not waste any more time, and directly abandoned the carriage and ordered to follow, Ye Lao quickly walked to the gathering place of the people under the support of Chen Ping and Wang Xianling.

Ye Lao said as he walked, "The first thing to do now is to immediately inform the people to start work after half of noon today, and let them rest in the shed for half an hour." ”

"In addition, don't be in a hurry to investigate the greed of the little officials, let the room transfer spare ingredients, and hurry up to make sure that the people eat before going to work."

After hearing this, Wang Xian Ling hurriedly went to make arrangements, Ye Lao looked back at Chen Ping and asked, "Tell me, what is the greatest significance of such an arrangement?" ”

Chen Ping supported Ye Lao alone, thinking about the teacher's question.

Everyone knows that you can only work when you are full, and the teacher's arrangement should be sympathetic and people-oriented.

But if it's so simple, why would the teacher ask a question?

Chen Ping raised his head and swept his gaze not far away, and was instructing a few small officials to order Wang County.

Suddenly realized, "The teacher arranged it like this, not only benevolence, but also faith!" ”

"If people have no faith, they will not stand, and if officials have no faith, they will have no authority!"

"An official without trust and authority, if he wants to do anything, he will end up in a mess!"

"Teacher, this is to maintain the benevolence of Wang County's order."

Hearing this, Ye Lao's clear eyes instantly burst out with excited light.

Stretched out his hand and stroked Chen Ping's little brain, and the smile on his face couldn't be hidden.

"Hahaha, good, good benevolence and faith!"

"If you can enter the court as an official in the future, you must remember the word benevolence and faith, and you must not throw it away!"

Chen Ping nodded fiercely, indicating that he had written it down.

When the two walked into the temporary warehouse next to the construction site, they couldn't help frowning.

A random and messy stack of items, there is no norm at all.

Ye Lao and Chen Ping picked up a few account books on the table and opened them, and the receipts, expenditures, and inventory records were vague.

Any slightly larger business account office would not dare to fool the owner like this.

After all, it is natural for officials to supervise the collection of land taxes, calculate the amount of various additional taxes, and calculate the distribution of taxes that should be paid to the imperial court and local governments. In reality, however, officials were neither familiar with it nor willing to do it, and the household clerks, although familiar with the local situation and proficient in financial records, could not be trusted by their supervisors.

Therefore, there are well-trained masters who are good at bookkeeping and planning to help officials preside over this government affairs.

That is, the full-time "Master Qiangu" is also known as "Master Qianliang".

Professional people do such unprofessional things.

It seems that this is not a question of competence.

However, this is not the time to pursue these matters, and it is better to solve the most urgent matters first.

I saw that Ye Lao waved his pen and directly wrote a note of "spending 3,000 catties of brown rice" and handed it to the housekeeper who had just arrived.

According to common sense, when the master of money and grain is not there, the household warden can take over the income and expenditure account books of the county government.

Yesterday, in front of everyone, this person directly asked Wang Zhixian for account books, and said that this was in accordance with the usual practice.

Fortunately, Wang Zhixian was not a foolish official, not only did he not abide by the so-called conventions, but he personally took over the miscellaneous tasks such as managing the income and expenditure of the account books.

Master Qian Liang dared to openly embarrass himself, and even didn't care about his future job, which was weird everywhere.

Wang Zhixian couldn't find out the specific reason for a while, and all he could do was be cautious.

The steward took Ye Lao's slip, looked at the numbers on it, and was stunned for a while.

When he raised his head again, he was already smiling and very affectionate.

"Ye Lao can understand the suffering of those of us who do things, and it seems that he really understands the rules."

"In this case, Xiao Lao'er can guarantee that the part that belongs to Ye Lao will definitely not be less than me, a little official!"

smiled and said these two words, ignoring Ye Lao Chen Ping's reaction, revealing a look of "I understand", turned around and left quickly.

Ye Lao turned around and smiled at Chen Ping and asked, "How much do you understand?" ”

Chen Ping naturally didn't wonder why the teacher's brown rice cost more than 30% of the quota.

Since the teacher wants to remedy, Wang Xianling has almost lost credibility with the people.

If you want the people to have a full meal, you should naturally not be frugal at this time.

But he still had doubts in his heart, and immediately asked: "The teacher must have no friendship with this kind of person." ”

"Then why can it be concluded that after they take the grain, they will only be greedy for 30%, and will not resell 40%, or even more?"

"If their hearts are darker, then this meal will not have a positive effect!"

Ye Lao pulled Chen Ping to sit on the soft chair in the warehouse and said slowly.

"In officialdom, many tacit understandings are reached, and they do not need to be familiar with each other, let alone make a written statement, and most of them are completed silently."

"The old man just took over the account books and immediately gave them a bite of meat to eat, and they naturally subconsciously regarded me as someone who could cooperate."

Chen Ping thought of this.

If you want to take it, you must give it first.

didn't let them down their guard at the beginning, how could Ye Lao have the opportunity to find evidence and help Wang Xianling eradicate these moths.

Seeing that Chen Ping seemed to have an understanding, Ye Lao nodded with relief and continued.

"And the reason why I just now deliberately put on the arrogant face of a literati."

"It's to tell them that the old man cares about face very much, don't break the bottom line I gave, otherwise everyone won't look good."

"My bottom line has been clearly written on the note, that is, thirty percent!"

Hearing this, Chen Ping was already a little surprised.

Is this how the brains of the ancients turned?

Looking at it on weekdays, Ye Lao is clearly an old child with a hot temper and an innocent temperament.

Who would have thought that once he met the treacherous little officials in the county government, he would immediately show an extremely old and spicy side.

The so-called insight of the world is knowledge.

It seems that what I will learn in the future is far more than what is taught in books.

As soon as he thought of this, Chen Ping suddenly realized that he looked at Ye Lao with a smile on his face.

Perhaps, this is the reason why the teacher is willing to bring himself here to experience.
