Chapter 142: Work for nothing and make no money
"Without warm soup eggs, do you dare to cook?"
"I'm so brave to deceive the king!"
Before Lao Pei could say anything, Wu Meiniang yelled first.
Very good!
applaud!
Pei Fanxian felt for the first time that he and the female devil stood in the same trench. The chef in the lead was so scared that he almost cried.
"Empress, I really didn't mean it!"
"It's really hard to cook without rice!"
hehe……
Stop gigging on your face!
A bunch of rough men and clever wives!
Is there anyone that ugly as you?
What do I do?
Several chefs surrounded Pei Fanxian and whispered, wanting him to stand up and say a few words for them. Lao Pei held his hands and turned a deaf ear.
Now I think about my Lao Pei!
Didn’t you just turn the blame?
No matter, no matter, I will not care.
In life, some traits are also similar. You can do wrong things, but you can't treat others as fools.
The chefs' current behavior is almost like treating Wu Meiniang as a fool. Do you think Wu Meiniang is a fool?
The consequences of committing a female devil are very serious.
"Okay!"
"Stop talking!"
Wu Meiniang waved her hand to stop them from chatting. As soon as this said, the hall was silent, everyone closed their mouths and waited for Wu Meiniang's punishment.
Among the people present, Pei Fanxian was the most relaxed one. He dared to smile on his face, how brave he was.
Wu Meiniang's lips drooped, showing anger.
Dongdongdongdongdong...
Dongdongdongdongdong...
In the quiet palace, no one dared to speak first, let alone make a sound. Wu Meiniang seemed to be able to hear the heavy heartbeats of several chefs.
But she deliberately did not speak, and just used her charming eyes to circulate back and forth between the crowd. The more nervous they were, the more excited she became.
ah!
The feeling of being in charge of the universe is back!
Feeling great!
"White collar job."
Bangji...
The red lips were opened lightly, and Pei Fanxian could even hear the sound of the ministers falling to the ground and shattering.
Wow, it's so miserable.
Lao Pei has only seen the uncommon term for white collar jobs in historical documents. What is the punishment?
You only work but don’t pay any wages, no salary, and no benefits. But it should be an errand within your responsibilities, and you must not do anything less.
The female devil is indeed a female devil, and her methods are just to be straightforward.
He actually had such a trick, why didn't he expect it?
Lao Pei couldn't help but look at Wu Meiniang with admiration, our role model!
This move was a devastating blow to several cunning and lazy ministers.
They were demoted just now, but they looked like they were about to die, but at least they still had their salary to be demoted.
Those who eat and drink from the court only have their treatment reduced. In short, their whole family still has to support them.
Even though he had offended Wu Meiniang, Wu Meiniang had to pay for them to support their family. No matter which dimension is calculated, this transaction is a loss-making transaction.
The job of a white collar is their destination, let’s go to work!
Don't think of getting a copper plate from Awu.
After saying that, Wu Meiniang left in a daze. Pei Fan did not dare to fall behind and hurriedly fled the battlefield.
Awkward...
This is impossible to live this day!
Can't survive!
Forget it, they waited for a long time and there was no further text.
How long will it take?
Didn't give a clear letter, one month?
Or three months?
We should give them a hope!
Behind Lao Pei, there was a terrible terror everywhere...
Who cares?
Doing unrighteous things will lead to death!
…………
Everyone in the world knows that gods are good, but only money cannot be forgotten...
The third in charge of Peijiadian, the servant Xiaoliu, has now put down the business at the front desk and is devoted to the back house.
Pei Fanxian is a bachelor, neither having wives nor concubines nor children. Even if you dig three feet into the ground, you can't find many housework to do.
However, in these few days, Xiao Liu was busier than usual, and he almost opened a stall in the yard before dawn.
Herbal tea and bamboo mats were all ready, and when they opened their big eyes, they were busy. Pei Fanxian would sigh whenever he passed by him.
Money is enchanting and unsuccessful...
The ships of copper coins sent by Luoyang City are not only the heart problems of Lao Pei and Wei Laozhao, but also Xiao Liu's heart problems.
Although Mr. Wei was obsessed with money, he was quite generous in this regard. In order to accurately count the money, he did not make any mistakes.
As soon as the copper coins arrived ashore, he organized his troops and sent them all to Pei's mansion. He told Pei Fan to find someone to calculate the money first, and then the two of them would split it equally.
If others heard Mr. Wei's words, they would be very moved, but when they arrived at Pei Fanxian, they had no reaction at all.
Lao Pei really knows what kind of virtue is this guy?
It is said that money is charming, and it is said that money can drive people crazy. If so much money is delivered to the municipal office in one go, it will be given all of it.
Good guy!
I won’t have to pass that day, and it will definitely cause chaos and people. The city office has many people and people of all kinds come and go. Who can resist the temptation of such a huge sum of money and not be distracted at all?
Can't guarantee it!
Yes, right!
After thinking about it, I still felt that the Pei family was the safest, so all the money was piled up in the warehouse of the Pei family store.
The copper coins are heavy, and long-distance transportation will inevitably be broken and damaged. Although the Tang Dynasty already had the prototype of a money shop.
However, the structure of the storage shop at this time was relatively loose and not professional, and it was almost a combination of a money shop and a pawn shop.
You can save money, save things, and be responsible for turnover and transactions.
The appearance of the storing shop in the Tang Dynasty was definitely of cross-generational significance. Although it was not high, it was the major storing shops spread across the east and west cities that supported the production and life of giant cities like Chang'an and Luoyang at that time, especially merchants and trade.
Although Peijiadian is popular, its foundation is still shallow. Compared with the wealthy merchants in Chang'an City, they are just little brothers.
All this money can be digested by finding a larger-scale delivery shop. However, there is a prerequisite that the copper coins sent to the delivery shop must be in complete series and cannot be damaged or broken.
What the store needs to do is just that you bring the money and we send it to the warehouse for storage according to the number you report.
Don't care about any other chores.
When the goods are defective, I'm sorry, don't want me to be responsible. I was written clearly in black and white at that time. How much money is, our store will be profitable. Both parties agree. I want to find a supplement after I want to find a way to make up for it. I'm sorry, it's impossible.
It would be great if you want to make trouble!
There are some gangsters in Chang'an City, all of which are strong backings for these large-scale store and gambling houses. These people are supported by the store every day and are idle all day long. They either eat alcohol or play money, and are worried about having nothing to do!
In addition, the Pei family has a well-known little money fan, Xiao Liu, who can't give it to others for errands like money.
He took it all alone. To be honest, this job is really not easy. From Luoyang to Chang'an, the road was bumpy, and many copper coins had already fallen apart. Then he took a cart to the Pei Mansion. There was another rush. The leather rope broke and the copper coins fell all over the floor. Xiao Liu had to clean it up bit by bit, then count it one by one, and then gathered the copper coins into strings according to the market price again.
Think about it, what a huge project this should be.
What's the result?
Chapter completed!
