Go back to ancient times to be a royal merchant

Shopkeeper Mi very much agrees with Wang Xiujin's proposal. When he went to the grocery store below, he found many problems. He intends to come down every year, but there are many things. Besides, there are too many branches in the grocery store, and he can't walk. Come on, if someone is responsible for checking the accounts, the shopkeeper who manages the shop below will not dare to take too much money, and he will save time in checking the accounts.However, just like what Wang Xiujin wanted to say, whether you are buying people or choosing from the buddies, you must face the problem of literacy.Few people who have money to study are willing to take a road other than official career. They would rather spend their whole life in the imperial examination than face the reality of failing to pass the examination.

"Account checking is to serve shops. In the eyes of literati, businessmen are inferior, and they are afraid that they are unwilling to be tricked by businessmen. Moreover, literati are old-fashioned and rarely flexible, so they can't be in the job of checking accounts." It's not that Wang Xiujin looks down on literati, but he thinks that the ancient What the literati learn and know is to serve power and tactics. They memorize too many stereotyped essays, and their thinking becomes rigid. Family support, after becoming an official, I am afraid that he will also be a corrupt official. If he is not corrupt, the salary of an official is only so much a year, which is not enough to pretend to be beautiful.The literati raised by wealthy families are better, but these people are either from merchants or officials, and they have something in common in their thinking, that is, they are families.

"I do know a few decent literati, but they don't know how to sell themselves." Shopkeeper Mi thinks it's more reliable to buy people. "After returning to Beijing, see if there are any suitable candidates for the criminals."

"How can a criminal who is assigned to stay in Beijing?" Wang Xiujin was a little surprised, whether such a person would cause trouble if he stayed.

"Criminals also have descendants. Those who are judged to be criminals in the capital, whoever is young, may be three generations later." Although shopkeeper Mi is not an official, he is also a high school graduate, and the twists and turns of the officialdom are very clear. .

"As long as they are not the offspring of criminal officials who are collaborators, it is okay to buy them." Wang Xiujin thinks this method is good, but I am afraid it is not easy to buy such a person, and it is even more difficult for him who is currently powerless and powerful. I can trouble shopkeeper Mi to help.Shopkeeper Mi naturally accepted this matter, but he also made a request. When someone is trained, when you check the accounts below, don't forget to check the grocery store as well. Of course, he will also pay the salary.

How can Wang Xiujin rely on the salary of the shopkeeper Mi, he should do his best.After seeing off shopkeeper Mi and Li Linfu, Wang Xiujin went to find his father and elder brother. The moment he talked to shopkeeper Mi, he thought of one thing. In the society he lived in in his previous life, not only businesses needed audits every year, but also state agencies.In Daliang, it seems that the investigation is only done when something goes wrong.Taking what happened in Liangzhou as an example, if the imperial court sent officials to major cities every year to check the accounts and conduct on-the-spot checks, there would be no such thing as empty granaries.Wang Xiujin felt that he could advise the court, but whether he could implement it would depend on the emperor. When he found his father and elder brother, General Li was also present, so he couldn't mention it.

After changing the geng post, he chose the date of engagement, and General Li came forward to formally entertain the relatives of the Wang family. He chose a good-looking restaurant in Wu County and booked the venue, only Wang Xiujin's family was invited.On the same day, Mrs. Wang gave the same green dragon post to Shopkeeper Mi, which said "I would like to follow Yuyan's words and wish to marry Qin and Jin" and the year.Shopkeeper Mi felt that something should be done, so he gave a gift of one hundred and twenty. Mrs. Wang could not refute his face, so she had to accept it.Wang Xiujin didn't know about the exchange of posts before and the great inheritance, and thought that there was no difference between the engagement of the ancients and the later generations. People on both sides sat together for a meal, one gave the gift, the other received it, and then It is to discuss the date of marriage.Both families prefer to wait for Wang Xiujin to become an adult before getting married.

Thinking about his own age, and counting his age as an adult, Wang Xiujin breathed a sigh of relief. It's okay, there are still a few years before he can be strong enough, and by then, even if he enters the Li family, he will not be People look down upon.

After the engagement was settled, the three members of the Li family returned to the capital.After the people left, Mrs. Wang handed over the things that the Li family had given to her youngest son when they exchanged posts. Wang Xiujin looked at the jade pendant and gold finger ring, wondering if they should be kept or carried with him.Mrs. Wang poked her youngest son, "Of course you have to wear it on your body. And this, you have to keep it away. You will be the one who has been officially engaged in the future. Unless the emperor specifies another marriage, otherwise you can't regret the marriage." Mrs. Wang took Li The green dragon post given by the family was handed over to Wang Xiujin.Wang Xiujin was a little dazed holding the green dragon post, it was actually comparable to a marriage certificate.Wang Xiujin did not open the green dragon post to read, but put it away carefully so as not to lose it.

The Li family left, and Wang Xiujin was also preparing to go to Beijing. When he was sorting out his things, he thought of checking the accounts. Wang Xiujin threw away the things in his hand and went directly to find his father.Wang Xiujin felt that he had to tell his father about this matter. As for the eldest brother, if he was here, he would listen to it. Passing the booklet up from the eldest brother, it may be difficult to get into the hands of the emperor. Even if it is in the hands of the emperor, it may not be the eldest brother. Thanks to him, he currently has no plans to help others make wedding dresses.

Master Wang attached great importance to the suggestions made by his youngest son. Master Wang knew that there were many more incidents about his youngest son’s food being cut off than others. scolding, without considering how to make up for the inadequacies in governance.Master Wang lamented that his youngest son was a fearsome young man, and at the same time regretted that his youngest son did not want to take the imperial examination. Now he felt more and more that compared with his elder son, his younger son was more suitable to be an official. In the jar, for the pleasure of making money. "For this matter, the father can only help thread the needle. As for how to lead the thread, it depends on whether you can raise people."

Wang Xiujin was speechless, "Father thought it was wrong, and my son didn't want to get involved in this matter. He just gave a suggestion. If the emperor agrees, it will benefit the people. If the emperor refuses, it has nothing to do with the son." After he went to the capital, , There are too many things to be busy, how can I care about the court.

Master Wang shook his head, he thought that the youngest son sent such a good suggestion because he had the heart of serving as an official, but he didn't think it was the same as before.Pointing to his son, Master Wang didn't know what to say. He was angry that his younger son did what he wanted, and annoyed that his younger son was obviously more suitable to be an official, but he wanted to be a businessman.Master Wang felt his teeth were very itchy and wanted to grind them.Seeing his father's appearance, Wang Xiujin hurriedly used the pretext of having something to do, and quickly flashed away.

When Wang Xiujin was leaving for Beijing, a letter addressed to the emperor set off from Wangcun and entered Beijing at the fastest speed.Before Wang Xiujin arrived in the capital, the emperor received the letter. There was an inspection of the censor. The emperor was very concerned about the suggestion of checking the accounts, so he sent someone to wait at the city gate, and invited him in when Wang Xiujin entered the capital. Gong, he has to ask carefully.Wang Xiujin's carriage was stopped by someone waiting before it entered the city gate. He lifted the curtain and looked at a familiar father-in-law. Wang Xiujin still felt strange and got off the carriage and bowed his hands to salute.The father-in-law didn't say anything else, he stayed here and waited for him, and invited him into the palace, the emperor greeted him.Wang Xiujin wanted to change clothes, but was stopped by his father-in-law, and the emperor was anxious to see him.

The confused Wang Xiujin had no choice but to follow his father-in-law into the palace, and the servants who followed Wang Xiujin to the capital drove the carriage to the palace. Coming out of the palace, there is no transportation.

Wang Xiujin straightened his clothes and hurried to Beijing. Although he changed his clothes a few times, his clothes would inevitably be wrinkled when he was sitting in the carriage. When he entered the palace to face the emperor, this clothes was really out of style. I don't know how the emperor is feeling today. Don't be accused of disrespect in front of the imperial court because of the clothes.

When the emperor saw Wang Xiujin, he didn't care about his appearance, and directly explained the doubts in his heart.After Wang Xiujin heard the emperor's words, he suddenly realized that his father had sold him, and he was clearly only a suggestion, so why did he still get him involved.When the emperor asked questions, naturally he couldn't lie. Wang Xiujin told him how he thought of the audit, and then thought of the government's account audit. The emperor nodded as he listened. It can be seen intuitively whether the officials have filled their own pockets with his money.

How to check the accounts, the emperor needs to make his own regulations, but he wants to see how Wang Xiujin formulates the rules for auditing the stores.Wang Xiujin then shared his thoughts. In fact, business and politics are basically the same, but Wang Xiujin can't say this. "Caomin is going to spend a year implementing this move."

"Why does it take a year?" The emperor naturally thought that the sooner the better, the accidents of civil servants one after another made him even more unwilling to pay attention to civil servants, but civil affairs and politics are indispensable.

"The grassroots are short of people. To send someone to check the accounts, you need to be literate. Ordinary employees are illiterate, and the shopkeeper cannot be transferred at will. Moreover, the grassroots don't want to cultivate people who leave at will. They want to buy reliable people, but it is difficult to buy literate people." Wang Xiujin. State the problems you are facing.

The emperor was silent, and then he gave Wang Xiujin a hand order, he can go to the prison of the Ministry of punishment to pick people at will.Wang Xiujin never thought that going to the palace would bring such great benefits, it would save a lot of troubles compared to Shopkeeper Mi going around.Leaving the palace with the handbook, he was meeting the fourth prince who had just returned to Beijing.The fourth prince had a stern look on his face, and his appearance was very scary, and there was no figure of Li Sushan beside him.Wang Xiujin thought it was strange, but because he was at the gate of the palace, it was not suitable for him to ask questions, so he could only salute along with Daliu and watch the fourth prince enter the palace.

After sitting in the carriage that had been waiting at the gate of the palace, the expression on the fourth prince's face kept appearing in his mind. Wang Xiujin felt uneasy, so he opened the curtain and asked the servants to drive the carriage to the general's mansion.

At this time, the general's mansion was in a state of panic. When Wang Xiujin entered, he did not see the housekeeper who often greeted him. He learned from the servants that Li Sushan had returned with an arrow wound.
