Chapter 764 Taicang Practices
In the afternoon, Taicang’s Jia Langzhong, Liu Siku and others have been wandering outside the yard where Zhu Pingan is checking accounts, keeping an eye on the movement in the yard from time to time to ensure that as soon as Zhu Pingan comes out, They can know immediately.
They also tried to enter the yard, but the people in Dongchang were too conscientious on duty. Not to mention them, not even a bird could fly into the yard, so they could only wait outside. Waiting for Zhu Pingan to come out.
Wait and wait.
The sun gradually set in the west, and the setting sun slowly dyed most of the sky red. The Ku soldiers and others left the office one after another and returned home. There was still no movement in the courtyard where Zhu Pingan checked, and Zhu Pingan did not let go at all. Signs of returning home.
After another half an hour, the last ray of sunset reluctantly disappeared on the horizon, and the gloomy dusk gradually filled the earth.
"It's getting dark. How can you still see that stupid Zhu Ping'an with his fiery eyes? He's not asleep in the room again, is he?" Zhao Langzhong stamped his feet and squinted his eyes to scan He glanced at the courtyard immersed in dusk, curled his lips, and cursed softly.
"It's possible. When we went to see him yesterday, he was sleeping like a pig on that small bed, drooling all over the place." The treasurer who was close to Mr. Zhao on the side also laughed in a low voice. got up.
But just as they finished speaking, they saw the room in the courtyard where Zhu Pingan checked the accounts suddenly light up, with dim candlelight shining through the window.
"Why did this idiot light a candle?" Zhao Langzhong's eyes suddenly widened, he rubbed his hands and gritted his teeth bitterly.
After the sun set, the sky quickly darkened. By this time, Zhu Pingan had almost finished checking the account books in the fifth box, and there were only a dozen left, so Zhu Pingan lit two candles and prepared to check them. After checking these more than ten ledgers, I will go home.
More than half an hour later, the sky became darker and darker, as if half a bottle of ink had been poured into a basin of clear water.
While Zhao Langzhong and others were waiting impatiently, they heard the "squeak" sound of the door opening, and then looked into the courtyard, and then saw Zhu Ping'an walking from the room to the courtyard and heading towards the courtyard. The bleeding sword and others on duty thanked him.
"Don't worry, Master Zhu. I will be here tonight to ensure that the account book is safe and sound." Zhang Guyi, the blood-dropping sword, said with his hand raised.
The Dongchang fans on duty in the courtyard also followed suit and saluted Zhu Pingan. The figure of Zhu Pingan who stayed at home and kept checking the accounts hard today left a deep impression on them. They are responsible for monitoring officials, celebrities, and scholars in the capital. Officials like Zhu Ping'an who perform their duties with dedication are really rare.
"Thank you Zhang Baihu and all the other officers. When the inspection in Taicang is completed, Ping An will ask for credit for Zhang Baihu and all of you."
Zhu Ping'an asked Zhang Guyi and Dongchang Fan who were on duty in the courtyard. Zi thanked them one by one and promised to report their performance on duty and give them credit after the inspection.
As long as the account books are checked successfully, the audit will be half successful, and the successful check of the account books cannot be separated from the people of Dongchang who are on duty to protect the account books.
Zhu Ping'an is not a person who is greedy for merit, and reporting their merits on duty is a matter of convenience.
Why not do favors that are easy to do.
And in this way, the people in Dongchang can be more dedicated and achieve multiple things with one stone, so why not do it.
Zhu Pingan’s words are effective.
Zhang Baihu didn't care about this credit, but when other Dongchang fans heard Zhu Ping'an said that he wanted to take credit from them, their eyes lit up, and they couldn't help but look forward to it.
They are now the lowest-level servants in the East Factory, also known as fans. Although they usually have a lot of tricks to make money in private when they are outside handling cases, there is a saying that goes well "A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier." In the same way, a soldier who doesn't want to be promoted is not a good soldier. They want to be promoted even more. They want to be promoted from a sergeant to a captain, which is the so-called "staple". After promotion, they will have more power and more money.
Think about it, even though it is just a duty, but it is related to the inspection of Taicang, this is a great achievement.
With this kind of merit and some money to find connections, promotion is not a matter of course.
So, Dongchang Fanzi, who was on duty, became warm-hearted and became more attentive to the duty. His eyes were bright and clear, and each one seemed to have a radar to ensure that not even an ant could be seen. Near the room where the ledger is.
After Zhu Pingan, Zhang Baihu and others said goodbye, they walked out of the yard.
"Oh, my Lord Zhu, you are working too hard to check the accounts. You check from early in the morning to late at night. You are really a role model for me. I can see it in my eyes and it hurts. In my heart, I wish I could check the accounts for Mr. Zhu.”
“That’s right, Mr. Zhu is so conscientious and responsible. He is really an example for the Taicang people like us to learn from.”
"This is really a long-awaited night."
Jia Langzhong and Zhao Langzhong, who had been waiting outside the yard for a long time, came up to them immediately. They were all very warm, even if they were scolding me just now. Doctor Zhao was smiling like a sunflower at this time.
"No, no, sir, you are so flattering, I am ashamed of myself and I dare not bear it." Zhu Pingan was well aware of the enthusiasm of the people in Taicang and replied politely.
"Zi Hou doesn't need to be modest. If all the officials in Ming Dynasty are as dedicated as Zi Hou, then the people of Ming Dynasty will be blessed." Jia Langzhong said with a smile, and then pulled Zhu Pingan's sleeve. , warmly invited, "Zihou checked our accounts in Taicang for a day. , We are very grateful, and we have prepared some wine and side dishes, but Zihou must not refuse.” , Ping An is just doing his job." Zhu Pingan smiled slightly and declined.
Just kidding, a gentleman doesn’t build dangerous walls. Judging from your abnormality today, I must be suspicious. Who knows if you have tampered with the food. I don't want to take this risk.
"Zi Hou declined like this, but he looks down on me?" Zhao Langzhong glared and looked angry.
"What did Mr. Zhao say? How could Zihou look down on me? Are you Zihou?" Jia Langzhong scolded Zhao Langzhong, and then looked at Zhu Pingan, his eyes full of expectation.
One has a white face and the other has a red face. The two of them work together perfectly.
"Ahem, Mr. Zhao is right. But when I was looking through the account book just now, I was a little hungry, so I ate my dinner in the room. Unfortunately, Ping An only had one stomach. It was really hard to eat If not, why would Ping An refuse?" Zhu Pingan coughed and explained to Jia Langzhong and others apologetically.
The devil is one foot high and the Tao is one foot high. Haha, I'm sorry, I've already eaten it.
After Zhu Pingan explained, he looked at Jia Langzhong and others with a magnanimous expression, as if he couldn't do what he wanted.
"It doesn't matter, let's do it next time." Jia Langzhong seemed to have thought of it a long time ago. He smiled casually and continued to pull Zhu Pingan's sleeves and said, "It's just me who forgot, today Zihou After checking the accounts, we remembered that there are still some Taicang 'customs' that have not been explained to Zihou. These 'customs' are related to Taicang's daily income and expenditure, and it is necessary to explain them to Zihou in detail." (End of Chapter)
