Chapter 149 This is the real wealth!(1/2)
Chapter 149: This is the real wealth!
Since Chen Liang was arrested for a fraud case at the end of last year, the position of military officer of the Jinzhou Prefecture Yamen has been hanging. There are many people staring at this position. Several older judiciaries are waiting for this. They have also been active in the Mabian Mansion in the year. However, the new envoy has not taken office for a short time and has not figured out the situation. Therefore, this hot seat continues to hang.
A thunder sounded from the ground!
Tang Cheng took over as the director of the military! The seat that so many people were thinking about was actually snatched by the person who had the shortest time and the least experienced in the yamen.
This sudden news, without any signs in advance, completely shocked the entire western court of the state. Almost every pen official's first reaction when he heard this news was: Why is it him? How could it be him!
As soon as Sun Jun left, he had such a big deal in his previous literary knowledge. Most of the swords and pens in the West Court were waiting to see how Tang Cheng was unlucky. Unexpectedly, he was not only not unlucky, but also promoted like this! Oh my god, this matter is really too scorpion tiger, and the measure of not being able to drive a horse is really so great?
Other Caos in the West Courtyard were discussing, lamenting that the world was bizarre and unpredictable; cursing that the heaven was unfair, there were people who were lucky to be promoted everywhere; there were also people who gathered together to think about the relationship between Tang Cheng and Yao Envoy. In short, on the morning when the news was announced, there was a restlessness in the west courtyard of Jinzhou Prefecture.
The atmosphere in the room of Sitian Cao's office was a bit strange. After being excited, he was reluctant to leave. The reason for his reluctance was that there was emotional factors in it. After all, since the end of last year, Tang Cheng had no better relationship with them. In addition to the emotional factors, what made the pens reluctant to leave was that Tang Cheng's success, who knew what kind of virtue was the new judge? The most important thing was that the thirty cents of money at the end of the year would be completely out of the way; some people were thinking about the vacant position of the judge, and hope and anxiety were intertwined, which made the atmosphere in the office even more strange.
This news was also purely unexpected for Tang Cheng. The military officers of the prefecture yamen are not as good as those in the county, but at least they have to be out of the third grade before they can take office. In many places, such as those in the east and west of Jiangnan, people who are directly famous are directly responsible for the position. As the direct management of the state yamen, although the military officers are not considered the main position, the power in the hand is not small at all, but the land is poor!
How come such a fat man falls on himself? Will Lao Ma agree? This question not only bothers others, but Tang Cheng himself is also confused.
"Happy together, happy together." When Tang Cheng, who was full of doubt, was dealing with his subordinates' congratulations, a servant came in from Sitian Caowai, saying that the envoy wanted to meet Tang and join the army.
Watching Tang Cheng walk out of the room with the servants, the pen and pens sighed, it is different if he is promoted to an official position! It is not easy for a judge to see the governor.
As the servant arrived at the office, Yao Envoy saw him come in, and smiled and waved, "Tang Cheng is here, sit down! How about it? Do you know the news of being promoted to the military officer? ".
"I understand, thank you for your appreciation."
"If you want to appreciate you, you have to be considered as observation. When I went to the inn last night, the observer praised you a lot." After laughing a few times, Yao Jun took out the official document yesterday, "The more this happens, Tang Cheng, the better you should do your job. Don't let observation disappoint the adult, ah!"
"What the lord said is," Tang Cheng smiled and took the official document handed over by Yao Envoy.
After reading the official document for only a few lines, Tang Cheng's heart jumped, and then he felt full of excitement.
This is done!
After suppressing the excitement in his heart, Tang Cheng read the official document word by word twice, and the doubts in his heart also fell. Now he is no longer a young man who has just entered Yunxi. Although he is not sure why he was promoted to the recorder and joining the army, the purpose of the "scapegoat" behind this appointment is to be clearly seen.
"Sir, this..." When Tang Cheng put down the official documents in his hand, he was already bitter, "The Taoist does not give money, grain, or labor quota. If you want money, no money, no people, how can you practice this way?"
"Well... the official document clearly states that money, grain and labor quotas must be raised by the state. The time for me is still short of my time. You can go to Ma Wu to discuss this matter." He stood up with his beard under his jaw. Yao Rongfu went to Tang Cheng and gently patted his shoulder, "I have high hopes for you in this matter. Tang Cheng, don't let down the praises of the observation master for you, ah! Go, Ma Wu to wait for you in the office."
"Sir, this...this..." After a long time, Tang Cheng sighed and turned around and left the room.
This is the first time Tang Cheng has entered a public office building since he was transferred to the Jinzhou Yamen. The layout of this public office building is no different from that of Yao Rongfu. The only difference is that there are many books here, and the entire wall of bookshelf is full of books. Among them, the bookshelf in the middle of the old horse is filled with bamboo slips and silk books. There are so many books inside, which makes the whole house exude a faint fragrance of books, and the local horse sitting in front of the bookshelf looks more and more elegant.
Seeing that Tang Cheng had walked in, the horse sat down comfortably, and the pleasure of the cat playing with mice in his heart made him very enjoyed. Since then, a very playful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth without realizing it.
Jingjing looked at Tang Cheng for a long time, but the horse did not call him to sit or tea, "Have you seen Lord Envoy?"
"See it."
"Well, although I was promoted to the position of the Record Officer, I don't need to deal with the affairs of the various cadres in the West Courtyard these days, so I can just build the road with peace of mind."
"Thank you, don't care. But my subordinates are young and have strong energy. Even if they build roads, they can handle the jobs they should do in the West Courtyard." Tang Cheng deliberately made the word "young" very loud when he spoke. As he spoke, his eyes fell on Lao Ma's wrinkled forehead and corners of his eyes without any idleness.
"There is a unique task for the West Courtyard." Lao Ma's face was gloomy, "The job you should do now is to build roads."
"Oh! It turns out that I, the director of the military, is actually in name only?" Tang Cheng smiled slightly and said in response to Lao Ma's eyes: "Since I want to build a road, I wonder how much money and grain can I give me, and how good is the labor service quota?"
"It has been more than a day or two for Tang Cheng, you have been in the prefecture yamen. Of course, you also know the family's background in this prefecture." Lao Ma also smiled, "Don't count on the prefecture yamen for money, grain and labor service."
"So that's the case," Tang Cheng's smile did not diminish. "Since that's the case, don't have any other instructions."
"I want to tell you these two things."
"I already know, say goodbye." Seeing that Lao Ma had finished speaking, Tang Cheng even bowed his hand and turned around and left his office.
Tang Cheng left so frankly that the smile on Lao Ma's lips suddenly collapsed. Today, he was waiting for Tang Cheng to argue with him, make a fuss with him, and ask him for what he wanted. The more Tang Cheng made a fuss, the stronger the pleasure he would feel when he refused. Who knew that he actually... left like that.
Not to mention noisy, even if you want something, you don’t have a word. You have too strong expectations for pleasure in your heart, but Tang Cheng’s performance is too unexpected. The huge contrast only makes Lao Ma’s expectation for one night hang in the air half-baked. This person is so depressed that he can’t say.
"Laughter! Even if you can't even cry," the angry horse did not slap the case. With too much force, the ink in the inkstone was rippling out. The bright ink dyed the bamboo slips that he cherished most, and when the old horse reacted, the seven or eight bamboo slips were already ink black...
After Tang Cheng left Ma Biejia, he turned around and returned to Yao Rongfu's office. "My Lord, there is no money, grain, and labor service at all. I really can't do this road construction errand."
"It's a business that is unruly, how can you let it go? In this way, you can be worthy of the trust of the adults and the high hopes of the original envoy?"
"Since Lord Jun took office, my subordinates have always been willing to serve, but this time I was really powerless." Tang Cheng looked aggrieved, "Don't take the horse to take revenge on his own. Not only did he undermine his subordinates' military affairs, but he also had no penalties for money, grain and corvee service, and nothing was left. I was willing to serve my subordinates. What would I do to serve? Please help me choose another talent."
"What are you talking nonsense? I'm observing that you are the one who is valued by Tang Cheng." Yao Jun stood up with a smile and walked to Tang Cheng. He personally led him to sit down, "You can't refuse this matter. Well, it's impossible not to give money, grain and labor service at all. Let me handle this matter and give it as much as possible. However, this state is poor, and you can't count too much on Tang Cheng."
"But the road construction depends entirely on money, grain and corvee..."
"It's up to people, ah!" Yao Rongfu interrupted Tang Cheng and patted him on the shoulder warmly again, "You must not refuse this job. Apart from money, grain and corvee, if you have other requirements, you can consider it."
When Tang Cheng heard this, he lowered his head and was silent for a long time. Finally, he sighed in disgrace. Seeing him like this, he gently stroked the long beard under his jaw and laughed.
"Since Lord, the envoy entrusted his subordinates to his subordinates for road construction, he would have full power. After his subordinates took over the matter, others could not interfere." Tang Cheng, who suddenly raised his head, gritted his teeth when he said this, his expression was full of tragic tragedy that he knew he could not do it.
"allow!".
"If you build a road, you need to occupy land. Although your subordinates are promoted to military officers, the duties of the Sitian Cao Jue Shi during the road construction period cannot be lost."
"You are the military officer and the military officer, and the chief officer of the Ministry of Justice Tian Cao, and this is also accurate!"
"The road construction requires mobilizing a large number of civil servants. The mountain in this province is difficult to move. When it involves a large number of personnel, it is not as smooth as the waterway. The subordinates require the power to be cut off at the Santan Yinyue Wharf outside the city. In addition, the taxes paid by the river ships entering and leaving the dock must be handed over to the subordinates. No matter how small the mosquitoes are, they are still meat, and at least they can be collected." When talking about this requirement, Tang Cheng's hand was very tight.
"Accurate!" Yao Envoy also knew that the land of Santan Moon Sealing Wharf was depressed, so he did not hesitate. He was amused by Tang Cheng's last sentence "No matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat." He said slowly: "Tang Cheng, since you have to have full power, if you fail to build the road, you will be fully responsible."
After hearing Yao Jun agree to the third item without thinking, Tang Cheng's heart was so excited that he almost jumped out. He forced his excitement to make his face look very strange, "Yes!"
"Okay, I'm so energetic," Yao Envoy returned to the case with a smile and sat down, and wrote at the desk while picking up his pen. "Tang Cheng, this matter is important and it is not allowed to be played by children. I followed the example of the military, and the military order still needs to be signed."
The military order written by Yao Envoy was simple. After carefully describing Tang Cheng's presidency in the road construction matter and the three requirements he put forward, the last sentence was emphasized that if the road construction matter was not harmonious, Tang Cheng would assume full responsibility.
This must be a Tang Dynasty contract with clear rights and responsibilities. The last part of the military order is Yao Rongfu's name and bright red seal.
Seeing Tang Cheng finishing his name on the military order in duplicate, Yao Envoy dryed the ink and said with a smile: "Tang Cheng, let's go, go to the inn."
Upon hearing this, Tang Cheng was very surprised, "What are you doing when you go to the inn?"
"This is an errand assigned by the Lord Yu himself. Tang Cheng's youthful spirit is also a good story. Just as it is time to ask the Lord to be a witness," said Yao Jun with a smile, and the man should walk out first.
When Tang Cheng walked out of the inn, there was an additional observation on the military order in his arms to Yu Dongjun's name and signature.
At this point, the effectiveness of this military order has exceeded the scope of the Jinzhou Yamen's authority.
Since Yu Dongjun was willing to sign and seal this inappropriate military order. When things failed, he could not blame him. Yao Rongfu, who was holding another military order, had a sincere smile on his face when he thought of this. This sudden trouble yesterday was completely complete!
A difficult thing like this. Not seeking merit and striving to be without mistakes is the foundation for self-protection!
The two men held the military orders in duplicate, and both of them felt that they were the winners, so they were very happy with the military orders at this time!
Sitian Cao Gongshi Room.
Tang Chengdi's door was suddenly pushed open, and Feng Haizhou rushed in with a gust of wind, "Sir, are you really supposed to be a road construction job?"
Feng Haizhou's character is already solid, especially after the prison disaster at the end of last year. Now it is becoming more and more stable, and it is rare to see such a loss of composure as it is now.
Although he had been promoted to military service in name, Ma Biejia had never mentioned changing the office room to him, and Tang Cheng did not go to find the uncomfortable ones, so he still used the office room of Sitian Cao.
"Yes, what's wrong?" Tang Cheng, who was burying his head and looking through the empty documents in the official area, raised his head.
"What's wrong?" Tang Cheng's understatement made Feng Haizhou feel a little disappointed. "I heard that the road that the adults have cultivated does not give any money, grain and labor quotas. I wonder if it is?"
"Haizhou, sit down and talk!" After pointing to the Hu bench opposite the case, Tang Cheng nodded and said, "Yes, the observation made the adults tight, and they didn't give anything. They pointed at the state to raise their own funds."
"Is this true?" Feng Haizhou, who had just sat down, suddenly stood up again, "Sir, I can't accept this job, I can't accept it, sir! Hurry up and push it."
"It's too late!" Looking at Feng Haizhou with a panic look, Tang Cheng felt warm in his heart and took out the military order hidden in his arms. "I have signed the military order in front of Yao Envoy. Those who are good at it are observing how to push it!"
Upon hearing Tang Cheng's words, Feng Haizhou's face changed. He looked at a simple military order for a long time but didn't let go of his hand. "It's over, sir, this is a trap, what's the trap!"
Tang Cheng didn't say anything, but just looked at Feng Haizhou quietly.
Seeing that Tang Cheng was still like this, Feng Haizhou was already heartbroken. "Sir, is it easy to build a road? The road is not given a single bull of money and grain, and the labor service quota is not approved. What kind of road construction is used? Pointing to the state yamen? Jinzhou is a poor yamen." When he was too excited, General Feng Haizhou handed the order back to the ground and his hands were trembling, "Sir, what kind of military order is this? This is your contract to sell your body as a scapegoat!"
"Haizhou, don't be excited, sit down, sit down and say," Tang Cheng stood up and pressed Feng Haizhou's shoulder to let him sit down, and then poured him a cup of tea, "Haizhou, how did you know the news?"
"Don't post Lu Bu all the horses." After seeing the military order, Feng Haizhou, who knew that things were not allowed to do, turned from excitement to low, and his voice was also weak. "The Lu Bu said that you are now in charge of road construction. Except for Sitian Cao, all the affairs of Cao in the West Courtyard are handled by him. The news that he did not give anything on the road construction this time was heard when he was watching Lu Bu. Now all the Caos are talking about this. They say that, sir... you are crazy, sir. I thought it was just a rumor. With his wisdom, you will not fall into such a clumsy trap. Who knows... hey..."
"Oh, he posted all the cloth!" Tang Cheng laughed out loud when he heard this, "Don't drive, this time, you are really decisive."
"When is it now, sir, you..." Feng Haizhou finally realized something was wrong, "Sir, do you have any other way?"
"There is no way out. How can you know if it's okay if you don't do it?" After replying with a smile, Tang Cheng stopped smiling and looked at Feng Haizhou seriously and said, "Haizhou, are you willing to do this with me."
Feng Haizhou stood up in response to Tang Cheng's burning gaze.
"If I don't go, who will go?" Feng Haizhou's answer was neither excited nor depressed, and very peaceful, but there was a sense of unswerving determination in this peace.
"Okay!" Tang Cheng patted Feng Haizhou on the shoulder heavily, "Do it just by saying that. You can find a painter who is good at painting mountains and rivers first. The more skillful the painter, the better."
After saying what he said in front of Tang Cheng, Feng Haizhou felt extremely relaxed. Since he was released from prison on the seventh day of the first lunar month and then went home to read it, he had been holding a stream of indescribable things in his heart for Tang Cheng. Today, with the words just now, this stuff that was so uncomfortable that he finally vomited out.
When things got to this point, he had only one thought left - a soldier died for his confidant! Tang Cheng was about to jump off the cliff now, and he followed with his eyes closed.
Feng Haizhou didn't ask anything anymore and went to find the painter. Tang Cheng took advantage of this time to arrive at the office room outside. When he showed up, the eyes of the swordsman's pen and pen officials immediately focused on him.
Tang Cheng didn't say anything, walked to Lao Deng and told him that he would be in charge of Cao Li's executives these days.
Lao Deng spent the longest time in Sitian Cao. Over the past few decades, every process and every process in this Cao can be clear. It is naturally impossible to explore according to his personality. But it is perfect to be successful.
"Don't worry, as long as I, Old Deng, stay in this office for one day, I will not be able to get out of the problem." As Old Deng said this, his tone and look at Tang Chengdi were inexplicably stained with a strong tragic look.
