Why marry someone when you are reborn?

After Xu Yun left the Ministry of Revenue that afternoon, he found out who Zhao Junfeng was.

Zhao Junfeng is Zhou Xin's disciple.

Taught personally.

Moreover, Zhao Junfeng is the grandson of Zhou Xin's cousin, but he lost his parents and relatives when he was young due to the war, so he was raised by Zhou Xin.

This is different from ordinary disciples.

It's almost like having a biological son.

I heard that Zhao Junfeng moved out of Zhou Xin's house only last year after he got married.

Zhou Xin let Zhao Junfeng come to take care of her, which really doesn't seem like he wants to marginalize her.

Xu Yun wasn't sure whether this was decided from the beginning or whether Zhou Xin changed his mind temporarily after that day.

She couldn't ask, so she just pressed the question.

Zhao Junfeng was very talkative. As soon as Xu Yun reported in, he asked his servant to personally take Xu Yun to set up the desk for her. He also personally explained to Xu Yun the different responsibilities of each department.

The Ministry of Revenue is quite large.

It is divided into four major departments.

The first is the Ministry of Revenue, the second is the Ministry of Finance, the third is the Ministry of Finance, and the fourth is the Ministry of Granaries.

Among them, the Ministry of Household Affairs is responsible for population and household registration.

The Ministry of Revenue is responsible for accounting and budgeting.

The Ministry of Finance is in charge of the receipt and payment of silver and money.

The warehouse department is in charge of grain receipts and payments.

Zhao Junfeng is in charge of accounting and budgeting.

He laughed and complained: "If others come to the Ministry of Revenue to ask for money, they will only say that it is too much. Our responsibility is to calculate and see whether to give it or not, and if so, how much to give. In addition, the necessary expenses of various departments every year must also be calculated in advance."

"Once we have calculated everything clearly and stamped it, the Jinbusi will release the money."

"Among the four branches of the Ministry of Revenue, our Ministry of Revenue is the most tiring and has the most things to do. It's extremely tedious."

Finally, he asked Xu Yun with a smile: "The Jinbu Division is a lucrative position. Once you are familiar with it, you can apply to go to the Jinbu Division."

Being in charge of money is a good job, isn't it?

Xu Yun was not fooled at all, and raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Then are they also the easiest to get in?"

Zhao Junfeng laughed out loud, and now he was praising: "In this respect, you are like the people in our Ministry of Revenue, smart, cunning, and not easy to deceive! But in the Ministry of Finance, if the money is too little or too much, the lightest punishment is dismissal, and the worst is losing your head! Last year, six people were dismissed!"

Xu Yun believed it.

After all... guarding money every day is a big test for people's hearts.

But speaking of lucrative jobs, isn’t the Duzhisi the lucrative one?

As long as there is some fraud in this link, money can be easily made.

Even if you don't cheat, and just want them to be less harsh, you still have to please the Ministry of Revenue.

Xu Yun asked: "How many people did our Ministry of Revenue replace last year?"

Zhao Junfeng's smile did not diminish: "Twelve."

Xu Yun: ...So you still have the nerve to criticize others?

She remained calm: "Why?"

"They falsified accounts and helped others report more. They also falsified accounts and lowered the amount of money, using it as a threat to demand benefits. And... they cooperated with the Ministry of Finance to steal money." Zhao Junfeng stared at Xu Yun with a deep smile in his eyes: "Xu Tanhua, don't let yourself be tricked."

Xu Yun nodded repeatedly: "I still want to be an official."

What she wants is power.

Not money.

Although the two are usually inseparable, using power for money will cost you your life. So it is not allowed.

Zhao Junfeng resumed his joking attitude and asked, "What kind of official do you want to be in the future?"

Xu Yun joked, "The Minister of Revenue, right?"

Zhao Junfeng: …

However, the Ministry of Finance was indeed busy. For seven consecutive days, Xu Yun was busy almost every day. Although her current job was to help Zhao Junfeng, Zhao Junfeng had too much work to do!

Zhao Junfeng was in charge of the entire Duzhisi.

So no matter what the matter is, you should ask him first.

Zhao Junfeng went home twice in seven days.

Although Xu Yun went home every day, he would go out at dawn and return home after dark.

There is only time left for eating, washing and sleeping.

If Xu Yun didn't have a library, I'm afraid he wouldn't have any other time to spare.

During these few days, she had become somewhat familiar with the Ministry of Revenue, so she went to the library and got out many books on calculations to study and read.

Then, she discovered something.

The calculation method and counting symbols of the Duzhisi are the same as the Arabic numerals in library books!

But when she first started studying books on this subject, she already knew that they were called Arabic numerals because they originated in ancient India and were spread by Arabs.

Xu Yun inquired indirectly and found out that this was taught to them by the two majesties.

He said that he happened to see someone using it and thought it was very useful, so he learned it.

There is nothing wrong with this reason.

But...are the Arabs coming here now?

Xu Yun pondered for a long time, and finally put it aside for the time being - the outcome of this matter was actually not that important.

Anyway, as long as the thing is useful, that's enough.

However, your Majesties are indeed very knowledgeable.

It's astonishingly extensive.

Xu Yun was busy with the affairs of the Ministry of Revenue during the day, and secretly studied arithmetic and practiced using the abacus at night, which made him feel very fulfilled.

In a blink of an eye, the first snow of winter fell again.

Xu Yuncai suddenly thought of Lingtai County.

I'm afraid the snow in Lingtai County is already very thick by now.

Luo Li wrote Xu Yun a letter every two weeks, so even though she was in Beiping City, she was familiar with the situation in Lingtai County.

The coats and leather boots from Lingtai County were sold at a good price this year.

Not only did Xu Yun get his capital back, he also made a lot of money.

In addition, carpets are also in short supply.

Lingtai County is really not that poor anymore.

People's lives are much better now.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and Luo Li should also come back to celebrate the New Year.

However, before the Chinese New Year, the Ministry of Revenue will be very busy.

After all, during the Chinese New Year, a lot of money has to be distributed everywhere, and there are various celebrations, which also cost money.

That afternoon, after Zhou Xin went to the court meeting, he suddenly called Zhao Junfeng over.

Zhao Junfeng thought about it and took Xu Yun with him.

When Zhou Xin saw Xu Yun, he didn't look surprised, nor did he object. Instead, he waved his hand and told the two of them to find a seat and sit down.

In fact, there was not only Zhou Xin in the room, there were also people from three other departments.

After the two sat down, Zhou Xin said calmly: "The southern court has replaced the general who guards the border, and has also assembled an army of 200,000. I'm afraid there will be a war. We need to raise food and grass here."

Xu Yun had been in the Ministry of Revenue for so long, so of course he knew how much money the ministry had - to be honest, it wasn't much.

Especially this winter, he provided the soldiers with a batch of new cotton-padded clothes, armor, and weapons, and also bought horses from Dayuan.

The money was spent like water.

Zhao Junfeng frowned: "Can we fight? When did the South become so tough?"

If the South had the backbone, it would not have waited so long.

Zhou Xin shook his head: "I don't know. But there must be some variables. Otherwise it wouldn't be like this."

Xu Yun has begun to recall what happened this winter.

But she really couldn't remember it - she only remembered that Luo Zhan would die next year, and she herself would die soon.
