Chapter 300: Tied up and beaten
Qi Renli was a little embarrassed, "Then I will return it to the county government." He asked again, "How should I return it?"
"Go to Colonel Yang and hand over the money to the treasury first, and then ask him to hand over the treasury account books to you. From now on, you will be in charge of the government's expenditures."
"I'm in charge?" Qi Renli was very unsure, "Isn't it appropriate? Captain Yang is the chief registrar of Beishan County."
"Colonel Yang is just the acting chief bookkeeper. After all, he is a martial artist. It's embarrassing for him to have to check these accounts every day. He doesn't trust himself. He doesn't know how many times he has to check all the accounts in and out. If they are handed over to me, it will be difficult for him to do so." It takes too much time to check again.
Besides, he is now in charge of the new population of Beishan County and is really too busy.
You are already responsible for the county's economy. Isn't it appropriate for you to be temporarily in charge of the warehouse account books? ”
"You are right to say that, but Colonel Yang may feel uncomfortable."
"Haha." Bafang couldn't hold back his laughter. Seeing that the eyes of the two people in the room were focused on him, Bafang said to Qi Ren: "If Captain Yang knew that you were going to take over the account books, he would definitely jump with joy. He wouldn't I feel uncomfortable.”
"Seriously?" Qi Renli looked at Meng Changqing.
Meng Changqing nodded, "Although I won't jump up, I am definitely happy."
Qi Renli was dubious, but when he actually went to Yang Zheng to ask for the account books, he realized that it was indeed what Bafang said.
This military commander who he thought was very stable actually jumped up for joy.
"Quick!" Yang Zheng grabbed Qi Renli's hand, "Come in with me. The middle row of shelves is filled with account books related to the warehouse. Take them quickly."
"There's no need to be so anxious." Qi Renli looked at those account books and felt his head was numb. How could there be so many? "When the account books are handed over, an intermediary must be found to witness."
"Then go find Mr. Meng." Yang Zheng turned around and was about to go to Meng Changqing's study, but was stopped by Qi Renli, "Mr. Meng has gone out and is not in the county office."
"Get out? Where did you go?"
"Go to the government office to ask Mr. Futai to apologize."
Yang Zheng bypassed him and continued walking out, "The money you are looking for must be in the back office."
With this impatient look, it seems that what Bafang said is indeed right.
Let’s talk about Meng Changqing.
It can be said that she was familiar with the way when she entered the government office. The guard guard no longer guided her and only said: "Master Futai is waiting for you in the study. You can just go there."
"Thank you."
Meng Changqing knocked on the door of Wei Fangyun's study, and soon heard the person inside: "Come in."
"Master Futai." Meng Changqing did something wrong and did not dare to open his mouth to call his uncle. He went in respectfully and saluted, holding the apology letter in both hands to hand it to him.
Wei Fangyun, who was sitting behind the desk, didn't even read her confession, "Put it down and find a stool to sit down."
Meng Changqing was the most honest only when he felt guilty. He sat upright on the stool and put his hands on his knees.
Wei Fangyun pulled what he had written aside to dry, looked up and saw Meng Changqing's look, and said with a smile: "When did you become so restrained in my place?
Don't pretend, you and I have been together for a long time, and I still don't know who you are.
When Bafang came over with your letter that day, I knew you were going to Dazhou. ”
"Uncle knows things like a god."
"That's not true." Wei Fangyun picked up the teapot in front of him, and Meng Changqing quickly stepped forward and filled him with tea.
"There are tea cups over there, you can pour it yourself." Wei Fangyun asked again, "Has the matter over there in Dazhou been resolved?" "The Hong family can't get up, but I dare not say that the matter has been resolved."
"There are so many hardships in the world. If there were no Hong family, there would be others." Wei Fangyun said, "I'm asking you how is the situation in Dazhou Prefecture? Wen Ruxu is very active in solving the matter."
Meng Changqing put down the teapot in his hand, "Why don't you read my apology letter first."
Wei Fangyun narrowed his eyes, took the apology letter from the corner of the table and scanned it quickly.
Meng Changqing stood up to him in a dignified manner, thinking that Wei Fangyun would scold her no matter what after reading it. Unexpectedly, Wei Fangyun's face remained as usual, "This article is like this. I think he has done his best as an official. Don't The state officials had discovered the problem, but he did not take the initiative to investigate thoroughly. Instead, he tried to cover up the Hong family. Such a person could have passed the Jinshi examination in the first place.
It’s not that I look down on these scholars, they are too easy to be proud and complacent. Even if they have a little power in their hands, they become arrogant and extremely arrogant. ”
"Uncle, don't you blame me?"
"What do you blame me for?" Wei Fangyun said, "If I were you, I would just tie him up and beat him up, this old man is immortal."
Meng Changqing breathed a sigh of relief, but Wei Fangyun quickly answered with a 'but'.
"Although I think you did a good job, the emperor may not necessarily think so." Wei Fangyun said, "I will put your apology letter in my memorial. I hope the emperor can handle it fairly."
< br>
"Yes, I have to trouble my uncle to worry about my affairs again."
Wei Fangyun smiled and shook his head, "Thanks to your presence, the Emperor can remember me as a person. In the end, I still benefit from you."
"With your uncle's talents, the emperor already values you very much."
Wei Fangyun smiled and stopped discussing the topic, but asked: "How is your Lord Qi?"
"Master Qi has a pure heart."
"Well, he is the person you brought from the capital. If you think it is useful, then continue to use it. If you think it is inappropriate, tell me before I leave office and I will take him away with me to save you any trouble."< br>
Meng Changqing hurriedly said: "Master Qi is very good. After arriving in Beishan County, he helped me do a lot of things."
"That's good."
When this happened, Meng Changqing thought of what his new master had said. Since he had already been punished, he might as well order someone along the way.
"Uncle, our Beishan County Government now only has two officials, Qi Renli and I. Seeing that the population of Beishan County is increasing, the things that the County Government has to deal with will become more and more complicated in the future. Just the two of us, it is really difficult Too busy
I also asked my uncle to urge the official department to fill up the officials in each county office. ”
Wei Fangyun scratched the beard on his cheek, "Why are you talking to..." He suddenly stopped mid-sentence, "I heard that you went to Luojiang County some time ago?"
The other party had already heard about it, and Meng Changqing simply admitted it.
"What did Master Ding tell you?"
Meng Changqing replied: "Master Ding taught me a lot about farming."
"What about other than that?" Wei Fangyun had just asked, then continued, "Forget it, I won't ask any more questions. If there is an important person in Beishan County, I will go to the Clerks Department. This matter will go through the normal process and it will take a while." It took two months for a reply.
If you are thinking that the Ministry of Civil Affairs will not give anyone to you and will allow you to choose temporary officials on your own, then I advise you to give up the idea immediately.
I may not have people coming from other places in Liangzhou, but in Beishan County, there are too many people who want to go.
Don’t be afraid of fewer people doing things, but be afraid of more people and more ideas. ”
"What my uncle said makes sense." Meng Changqing said, "But because you are here, the officials who came are not suitable, so I can send them back."
