Why marry someone when you are reborn?

When Zhai Chuan went back to find Xu Yun with this sentence, Xu Yun and the others were still checking the accounts.

There was nothing unusual in his expression.

When Xu Yun saw Zhai Chuan, he didn't even ask anything. Instead, he just nodded slightly and let Zhai Chuan continue working.

Only then did Zhai Chuan notice that there was someone else in the room—although it was not Xu Zhen, she looked 80% like Xu Zhen, except that she was not as fat.

Xu Yun had no intention of introducing himself, so Zhai Chuan walked back to his original position, took out his abacus, and continued to do the math.

Xu Yun said to the man, "You don't have to accompany us all the time. Just leave someone at the door to pass on the message. Your brother is busy, so you must be busy too. Don't delay your work."

After saying that, Xu Yun smiled and said, "After all, business is important."

That smile simply said: Only when you make money can we get money too.

That man was Xu Zhen’s younger brother, Xu Yao.

When Xu Yao saw this smile, he felt relieved instantly.

Then Xu Yao also said, "If Director Xu needs anything, please send someone to tell me. We at Zhenxiulou will do our best to satisfy you!"

That's a guarantee.

Xu Yun and Xu Yao looked at each other and smiled, as if they had reached some kind of covenant.

By the time Xu Yao left, Zhai Chuan had already written the note and handed it to Xu Yun to take a look - walls have ears, so it is safest to write at this time.

Xu Yun read it, nodded, and then calmly threw the note into the charcoal basin and burned it without saying a word.

After a long while, Xu Yun said slowly, "Everyone, work harder. We have checked a lot of these account books. Let's try to finish checking them before tomorrow afternoon."

This means that we are not going to pursue the real account book.

Zhai Chuan didn't quite understand why.

But for a moment, he was quite disappointed - he thought that Xu Yun was different from other officials.

Yes, Zhai Chuan still has some sense of justice.

But he didn't say much and just continued working.

Little did he know that all these expressions of his were seen by Xu Yun.

Xu Yun knew their temperaments when she selected them. In the past few months since she came to the Ministry of Revenue, when she had nothing to do, she had considered all the people. This was so that she could have the opportunity to select a few people to be her own people in the future.

After all, she didn't plan to do odd jobs all the time.

Therefore, she knew exactly what Zhai Chuan and everyone else were thinking at this moment.

But she still said nothing, because she wanted to see who would stay and who would not.

It's better not to use it if it's done on impulse.

When things really go wrong, are you upset or not?

You are already such a grown-up, if you can't even control your own temper, you'd better go home and do farm work as soon as possible, at least you won't bring danger to your family.

Xu Yunwen sat there, and no one else spoke. The room was filled with the sound of abacus clacking.

It was not until dinner time that Xu Yun asked people to stop.

Then he asked the waiter guarding the door to go to the kitchen to order some steamed buns.

After everyone left, he slowly spoke: "Do you know why the Patrol Department was established recently?"

Lan Qu and the others knew about this matter, so they answered in a low voice and said that the Ministry of Revenue was short of money, so they were checking the accounts to see if they could recover some of the money.

Xu Yun nodded: "Yes, that's right. That's it. So, our first priority is to get money."

No matter whether the account is real or fake, as long as the money can be made, the goal can be achieved. Other things can be put aside for the time being.

This is also what Zhou Xin meant.

Zhai Chuan hesitated for a moment, but still expressed his doubts: "But in this way, isn't it just letting the termites go?"

Xu Yun smiled: "How much harm can a borer right under your nose do? Besides, you can squeeze out some meat to eat at any time - isn't this just raising pigs?"

Zhai Chuan and others were simply stunned by Xu Yun's remarks.

Everyone looked at Xu Yun in amazement.

Xu Yun looked normal.

Zhai Chuan hesitated: "But... it's different. They eat the blood and sweat of the people——"

"That's not true. Whose rice costs more than a thousand yuan per liter?" Xu Yun looked at the jade-green rice in the bowl and sighed: "This is the money taken from the dignitaries--"

As for where the money of the dignitaries comes from - we can only say that such money eventually falls into their hands, and it can be regarded as being taken from the people and used for the people.

It is impossible to kill all termites.

Just like weeds.

But if you work harder, the grass will grow so lush, and you can also dry the weeds and take them home to cook with firewood.

Xu Yun thought that the peasants' methods were also suitable for managing government affairs.

It can be seen that the same principle applies to all matters, big or small.

Lan Qu and Zhai Chuan looked down at the rice in the bowl and suddenly found it difficult to swallow - it felt like it was made of gold!

Xu Yun, however, felt no burden and picked up his chopsticks: "Eat it, eat it. You may not have the chance to eat it in the future. Anyway, I can't bear to buy it myself."

Rice is so expensive, she would rather exchange it for money and buy brown rice - that way she can have many meals! Only when there is food in stock at home can we be at ease!

Xu Yun took the lead, and after some psychological struggle, Lan Qu and the others also picked up their chopsticks.

I have to say more, this rice is so fragrant.

Each grain is oily and chewy!

good to eat!

Of course, the rice is good and the dishes are not inferior either.

Xu Yun finally understood why dignitaries liked to eat here.

Not only is it delicious, but the key is that you can show off after eating it once!

Xu Yun thought: I wonder if the two emperors have ever been here to eat? I'll pay for them to come over for a meal later. Yeah, that's a good idea.

Thinking of this, Xu Yun felt that he had hope of getting promoted and making money again.

She was even more satisfied, and her expression became more pleasant when she saw Xu Zhen.

Is that the owner of some kind of Zhenxiu Restaurant? That's a money jar with an official seal!

Another day passed after we finished checking the accounts at Zhenxiulou.

After Xu Zhen promised to pay the taxes, he personally escorted Xu Yun and the others out. In addition to the golden cakes at the bottom of the box, he also gave each of them a bag of snacks and two pieces of meat.

Xu Yun asked them to take it away. Then, once they got on the carriage, he asked them to open the snacks and take a look.

Sure enough, everyone’s snack bag contained a piece of golden cake.

Xu Yun’s is two pieces.

Everyone looked at the golden cake, feeling a little overwhelmed.

Xu Yun gathered the gold cakes together and said, "There are too many. We can't take them. Hand them over."

But even though he said he was going to hand it over, he still took out the extra piece from his bag and said, "We can just share this piece among ourselves."

Working late at night is dangerous, and it would be unreasonable not to get some benefits.

Lan Qu said hurriedly: "That's impossible to explain, we don't want to--"

Xu Yun said: "I will tell Minister Zhou. You don't have to worry about it. Go back and take good care of yourself. We will go to the next one the day after tomorrow!"

After saying that, Xu Yun handed the gold cake to Lan Qu and said, "Change it into money and divide it into six parts."

Afterwards, Xu Yun got off the car at the Ministry of Revenue and asked Chen Ku to send them home and then come back to pick him up.

Xu Yun went directly to see Zhou Xin.

I waited for a while before I saw anyone.

Zhou Xin didn't know what documents he was dealing with, and his face looked very bad. When he saw Xu Yun, his face looked better: "How much money did you get?"
