Chapter 512: Good wife
Fen Ye didn't believe it anyway, so the gentle young master would send her an errand to feed the dog, "No, no, the young master must be joking, he wouldn't treat me like this."
Big Fatty is already healed, his coat color is black and shiny to the naked eye, and he has regained his vitality like a dead tree in spring.
It squatted under the tree, tall and mighty, it made Fenye tremble with fright, and dared not go forward.
"I want to see the young master, get out of the way, I want to see the young master." Unreconciled, Fenye clamored to meet Wen Xizhou, but Wen Xizhou had already confessed, how could she still see Wen Xizhou?
Let alone meeting people, she can't even get close to the main house. She quarreled for a long time, but she didn't see Wen Xizhou, but Lu Sheng made a fuss.
Lu Sheng looked Fen Ye up and down, and sneered twice, "What are you arguing about, don't you know the young master is reading? You missed the young master's scientific examination, and you can't afford it if you kill him."
Fen Ye flinched, "Young servant, I just want to see the young master."
Lu Sheng's face sank, "Which card are you on? Is it the young master who you can meet whenever you want? I said that you are really unruly, and I have assigned you an errand. If you don't do it, what, why do you still want to do it?" Pick and choose?"
Fen Ye turned pale, "No, no, then, that dog..." She was clearly serving the young master personally, not to feed the dog!
"What's the matter, look down on, look down on? What kind of dog is not a dog? That's the dog! In this yard, the young master is the eldest, the dog is the second, and I am the third. The young master asked you to take care of the dog, that is I value you." Lu Sheng rolled his eyes, looking foolish.
Yu Zhi: That’s wrong, the dog’s boss, your young master’s second. After all, Lord Dog is the fattest man, and your young master is the second fattest man.
Fen Ye was deeply shocked and took two steps back. Lu Sheng glanced at her, and continued: "Afraid of dogs? Tell me earlier! Aren't you delaying the matter? Wait." Turning around, he walked towards the study.
Fen Ye was overjoyed, followed Lu Sheng with anticipation in his eyes, raised his feet to follow, but was afraid of the big dog under the tree.
Lu Sheng came back soon, met those expectant eyes first, he sneered, and said, "Can you do needlework?"
Could it be that the young master asked her to sew clothes? Fenye's eyes lit up, and she nodded repeatedly.
"From now on, you will be in charge of making purses, handkerchiefs, fan cases and the like. One month..." Lu Sheng thought for a while, "Make twenty purses, twenty handkerchiefs, and ten fan cases." Set it like this first, look back and see how much she can do in a month, and then re-set the number for her.
explained again: "Usually make goods in the house, don't come out, or you will be bitten by the dog, don't blame others."
Fenye glanced at the big dog, her face turned pale again, but she couldn't help but argue, "The servant is here to serve the young master."
"Oh, what a big ambition! You even dare to grab my job! You go to serve the young master, what are you doing? You are not a big girl, but you have a big heart." Lu Sheng hugged his arms and nodded his legs, It's interesting to say that others are younger than others when they are obviously younger, "Master, I'll take care of you, so you don't have to worry about it. As long as the master is kind, he allows you to change your errand. Don't be dissatisfied. Go back to your room and do your sewing."
Seeing that she was still reluctant, she threatened again, "We won't keep disobedient maids in our yard, and I'll send you to Madam Hou when I turn back."
Fenye didn't want to be sent back, so she could only go back to her room in one step. Seeing her dawdling back, Lu Sheng sneered: What the **** dares to approach the young master? With him, Lord Lu, she would never succeed.
Wen Jiuxiao rested for three consecutive days before recovering from his illness. In the past few days when he was away, many people poked their heads to the Ministry of Finance openly and secretly: Is Xiaowen Shangshu here today?
Sorry, Xiaowen Shangshu didn't come today.
Even the elders of the cabinet secretly poked melons together, showing a particularly weird state.
Wen Jiuxiao was not idle in the mansion, he was busy drawing tables and statistics under Yu Zhi's guidance. He has only been in the household department for a short time, and he has only scratched the surface. If he wants to really master the household department, taxes, expenditures, household registration, fields and so on over the years, he must be familiar with it, not to mention familiar with it. You have to know it.
When he first entered Dali Temple, he read all the case files. Although the household department is more cumbersome, Wen Jiuxiao is confident! Even though he brought Zhuo Zhengyang as a confidant, Yu Xiaozhi privately lent him a whole team, all of whom were good at accounting.
Yu Zhi misses her computer very much at this time, and when she clicks the mouse, the sum comes out. With a few clicks of the mouse, you can see the report of any year you want to see, which is convenient and fast. The hand-painted forms have to be filled with data one by one, which is too troublesome.
"Salary will be paid soon?" Yu Zhi suddenly raised his head.
Wen Jiuxiao was taken aback, although he didn't understand what she meant, he still nodded sincerely.
Yu Zhi just laughed, "Didn't you say that some people are putting you in trouble? This month's salary will not be paid for now. A smart woman can't live without rice. No matter how capable you are, you can't turn stone into gold, right?" She laughed. Especially malicious.
Wen Jiuxiao also laughed, he likes Yu Xiaozhi's bad idea, whether it works or not, but Yu Xiaozhi just wants to vent his anger on him.
"There is still money for the salary from the Ministry of Household Affairs." So much fine money has been collected, and the ministers are staring at it.
"Don't you know how to spend it? Such a big country needs money everywhere? Is the military salary allocated? Is the disaster relief money allocated? Farming and mulberry are the foundation of the country, shouldn't it be more important? There are also river embankments and water conservancy, no Do they all have to be repaired?"
Wen Jiuxiao was silent for a while, "Not enough." The money in the treasury is not enough at all, and the gap is huge.
"What we're talking about now is the payment of salaries. You spend the money from the treasury in advance. If you don't have the money, won't you be unable to pay the salary?" Yu Zhi said, and then added, "Oh, it won't work if you don't even pay it. , Those poor officials still have to live. How about this, those poor officials who live on their salaries first. The arguments are ready-made: one is that they live in poverty, and the other is that their salaries are small, and the household department can afford them.”
She looked at Wen Jiuxiao, "As for the others, they don't count on their salaries anyway, so what's going on later? The treasury has no money, and as a subject, shouldn't it be right for the country and the king to share the worries and solve the problems? It's not like they won't be paid. Yes, the household department will issue an IOU, wait..."
Speaking of this, Yu Zhi suddenly remembered something, "Didn't you say that many ministers borrowed money from the Ministry of Household Affairs?"
"There is such a thing." Wen Jiuxiao nodded, "The longest time is twenty years."
"Isn't it hard to collect these debts?" Yu Zhi asked.
Wen Jiuxiao continued to nod. These debts add up to hundreds of thousands of taels. He also tried to collect debts, but after thinking about it, he gave up. There are too many ministers who have borrowed money, some from ordinary courtiers, some from the royal clan, some from honorable families, and some of them are high-ranking and powerful, so it's hard to ask for it!
"What are you asking for? Don't bother, just deduct it from their salary. Those who are poor will deduct part of it every month, and those who are not short of money will deduct it all. When it is enough to deduct their debts. When the money is in In whose pocket, who is in charge, right?" Yu Zhi winked at Wen Jiuxiao.
It is the uncle who borrowed the money, and he refuses to pay you back even though he has money in his hand. What can you do with him?
But I'm in charge of the salary, if you don't pay it back, I'll withhold it. The money is in my hands, and I have the final say.
This is really a good way!
Wen Jiuxiao's eyes lit up, and he managed well, and all the debts borrowed by the Ministry of Accounts can be returned.
"Madam is really a good wife for my husband." Wen Jiuxiao was overjoyed.
He couldn't wait to see their shocked faces!
