The predecessor who was scumbag by me was the emperor

"Old lady, there is a young master surnamed Zhao outside who said he would come to visit the master, but the master and the eldest aunt have not come back yet, do you think you want to let him in?" The porter ran to the backyard and asked Shen's mother.

Shen's mother was reading the letter brought to them by the eldest daughter. Their Shen family also had some relatives and friends in Baoning Mansion. They might not go back for a long time after going to Beijing this time, so the relatives and friends asked Shen Jing's family to bring a letter of greeting. Come.

"Did he say what he came here for? Did he send a greeting card?"

"No, the villain looks at him as rich and noble, and his demeanor is definitely not from a small family, and the young master is only eight or nine years old. I thought, the young master at this age may be the master's friend." It’s from a good family, so I’m here to ask you.”

"So young?" Shen's mother asked in surprise: "Is there anyone with him?"

"Yes, there are servants and guards. The young master said that it doesn't matter if the master is not at home. He just asks for a cup of tea."

Shen's mother thought for a while, but she was not sure about the identity of the child, so she said cautiously: "Bring him into the flower hall and send him some tea and cakes. I'll go over and have a look later."

Because she was a child, Shen's mother didn't want to disturb her husband, so she changed her clothes and went to the flower hall.

As soon as she entered the door, her eyes lit up. She was really a beautiful child with an outstanding temperament. She sat there with her back straight and held a cup of tea in her hand. She looked as good as a painting.

"This young master is being polite. This contemptuous woman is Shen Jia's mother." Although Shen's mother has little knowledge, she still has the ability to judge people. This child is not only rich, but at least he is a child of the Duke's family.

Zhao Ting got up, avoided her salute, and bowed to her, "Old lady, don't do this, you are about the same age as my grandmother, I dare not accept your salute."

"Then you don't need to be polite, please sit down, how about some refreshments? If you are not satisfied, I will ask you to change some." Seeing that he was so sensible and courteous, the old lady liked the child more and more, took his hand and sat back.

"It's delicious, I've never eaten it before." Zhao Ting actually came to Shen's residence on impulse, knowing that Shen Jia was not there, he actually regretted it when he came.

"As long as you like it, take some back when you leave later." The old lady didn't rush to ask him whose child it was, she just treated him as a child at home, asked him how he was, and invited him to go shopping in the garden after sitting for a while.

Zhao Ting was worried that he would be embarrassed at first, but it turned out that Mrs. Shen was amiable and very comfortable to get along with, so he followed her to stroll around Shen's mansion.

Shen's mother introduced him and said: "This mansion was rewarded by the emperor. When I first came here, it was a little out of shape. I have been rectifying it recently. You have a good eye when you see it. Give me advice and see what else I need. change."

Zhao Ting asked curiously: "Why didn't the old lady ask me what I did here? Didn't you ask who I belonged to?"

Shen's mother laughed, held his hand and patted it, "I'm not afraid of making fun of you when I say it, I like you very much as soon as I see you, and I always feel familiar, maybe it's the child of Shen Jia's friend's family? These are not important, we have eyes."

Zhao Ting also laughed. With this status, no matter who he goes to, he is always respected, but respect is respect, they will not get close to him, some are just flattering, his grandmother used to be very good to him It's just that after the accident in the Pu family, she lived more and more reclusively, and even she didn't want to see her anymore. Although Zhao Ting had the support of the emperor's uncle in the palace, she lacked a close elder.

"Look at this peach tree. The peaches are starting to grow on the tree. It will be ripe in half a month. When you have time, come to my house to eat peaches." When passing by the peach forest, Shen's mother pointed to the crisp and tender peaches on the tree. explain.

Zhao Ting felt that such a relaxing walk was much more fun than juggling in the market outside, so he couldn't help answering: "Okay, I'll come back in half a month."

The two strolled around the garden, and Zhao Ting really gave some suggestions for improvement. His vision was trained in the palace. Even the flowers and trees can't enter his eyes.

"Okay, it's all up to you, next time you can change it if you just say it, I let someone put hundreds of fish in the pool over there, and the fish will be fat in autumn, and then I invite you to come to eat fish. You must have never eaten our Shuzhou-flavored fish, and your tears will flow if it is so spicy."

This is the first time that Zhao Ting heard that someone raises edible fish in his own yard. Others raise fish for ornamental purposes. He is used to seeing all kinds of rare ornamental fish, but he has never seen ordinary edible fish. , especially curious, "Can I go over and have a look?"

"Okay, let's go, let's go feed the fish." Mrs. Shen usually doesn't care about the life and death of these fish, so of course there are servants raising them, but she knows that children like these things.

Zhao Ting really likes it very much, especially when he thinks that the fish he fed today will soon grow up and become his food, his interest is particularly high.

"Old lady, when the fish grows up, can I come to your house to fish?"

"Yes, but there are so many fish in this pond, we can catch them with fishing nets."

"Fishing nets? That must be very interesting, and you must notify me when the time comes."

"Okay." The old lady agreed straight away, and then seeing that it was getting late, she took him directly to the restaurant for dinner, "It's already ordered, and it's too late for you to go home, so just eat something at my house."

There were also restrictions on Zhao Ting's going out of the palace. The emperor forbade him to eat outside food indiscriminately. Before, every time he came out, he went to a well-known restaurant, so he had to prepare in advance. It was the first time he went to someone else's house to eat like this.

"Okay, then I'm welcome."

The meals in the Shen family are not rich, especially when Shen Jia is not at home, Shen's mother doesn't like to toss too much food, but today is different, there are guests today, she told the kitchen to cook more in advance, and focused on explaining Make something that the kids love to eat.

The Shen Jia siblings hadn't come back yet, and there were only old Mrs. Shen and the eldest son-in-law of the Shen family, Yang Sen, in the dining room. They were a little surprised to see Shen's mother bring in a child who was full of dignity and dignity.

The old lady asked Zhao Ting to sit beside her, and introduced: "This is my wife, Shen Jia's father, and the young one is his elder brother-in-law, you don't need to worry about them."

The two parties greeted each other, Zhao Ting was really relaxed at all, he felt more comfortable than eating in the palace. When he was in the palace, he was surrounded by many people when he had a meal, and he opened his mouth when he had a meal, but it was far worse than eating by himself. It's delicious to eat with your hands.

Moreover, the Shen family did not have the habit of not talking when eating or sleeping. The old lady frequently brought him food and introduced the origin of the food to him. Zhao Ting found it very interesting.

"I didn't expect the story of even a plate of tofu to be so bitter. The life of the common people is really not easy. It's a pity that the high-ranking nobles never saw the suffering of the common people. The smell of wine and meat in the Zhumen has existed in all dynasties."

Everyone did not expect this child to be so emotional at such a young age. I am afraid that he is really not a child of ordinary people. Yang Sen felt the deepest. His son is also about the same age, but he is spoiled by his mother.

He asked curiously: "Young Master Zhao, what kind of books do you usually read?"

Zhao Ting reported a few casually, and read too many of his books. Apart from the must-reads of the Four Books and Five Classics, he would also read some travel notes from time to time, which was recommended to him by the emperor's uncle, saying that he could also read from the travel notes. The customs and customs of various places, although they can't travel all over the world, but someone has gone through it for them, and they have seen and listened more, which means they have gone through it themselves.

Yang Sen clicked his tongue secretly. Whose child is this? He is so knowledgeable at such a young age. He asked enviously, "Do you understand everything? It must be very hard for you to be so studious at this age?"

Zhao Ting nodded and said: "It's hard work, actually I don't like reading books, I prefer horseback riding and archery, but books are the treasures left by our ancestors, people behave well from books, and many things that we can't understand all our lives can be learned from books." It saves a lot of time for me to study in middle school, I have many teachers, they will teach those who don’t understand, Mr. Shen is also half of my teacher, I often ask him for advice.”

Hearing what he said, the Shen family immediately felt closer to him. It turned out that he was Shen Jia's student, so no wonder they came to him.

Shen Jia still didn't know that an unexpected visitor had come to his house. He waited for the result of the interrogation in the store, and finally found out that the original owner had offended someone and hired someone to make trouble, but he didn't know that the store had changed owners. Since they didn't come for Zhao Ting, Shen Jia didn't care, "Throw it out of the city, and then report to the Wucheng Bingma Division, let Commander Shi pay attention to them, and don't let them continue to cause trouble."

Pan Mo agreed, and then Shen Jia took his sister to a nearby restaurant for dinner. He had told his family before going out, so he was not afraid that his family would wait for them.

"The taste of the food here in Chang'an is very different from that in Shuzhou. I'll take you to eat the authentic Chang'an flavor. If you want to entertain guests at home in the future, you must consider these. Many people in Shuzhou are not used to the dishes."

Shen Jing nodded, "That's not it, the farther you are from home, the less you're used to the food. Fortunately, you brought some pickled food at home, so you can just eat it, but you will get used to it after a long time. .”

Shen Jia took her to the Tianxiang Building they used to go to, it was relatively cost-effective, he asked for a private room, and then ordered a few special dishes.

Shen Jing is still a relatively traditional woman, and she feels a little uncomfortable in crowded places. In the past, her husband was doing business outside, and she never went out. Now that she is in Chang'an, she must not let her husband be busy alone. It is necessary to get out of the back house, so this It was also Shen Jia's purpose for taking her out alone today.

"It's inconvenient for women to go out. This is a secular restriction, and I can't change it, but that doesn't mean that women must stay in the back house for the rest of their lives. Women can also have careers. The eldest sister has been helping the family with accounts since she was ten years old. , I have also taught you a little bit, and you must have been in touch with a lot of economic affairs, so you can try to help your brother-in-law build up the family business. Only when you have strength, you don’t need to rely on men to survive.” Shen Jia also said the same to her sisters. I have thought about it, and I don't want them to have a miserable life in the future because of their husbands taking concubines or empathizing with each other.

Shen Jing heard a lot of her brother's outrageous remarks, she didn't think it was strange, she just said: "Although that is the case, the eyes of the world cannot be completely scrupled, I can only try to help, you don't have to worry about your brother-in-law treating me badly, I'm not the kind of woman who lives only on the love of her husband, I have sons and daughters, and I will be strong even for them."

Shen Jia is indeed not worried about her. Shen Jing is the eldest daughter, and she was taught strictly since she was a child, so her personality is the toughest among the three older sisters. Be cautious, never let yourself make mistakes, but the third sister, with a flamboyant personality and a quick temper, Shen Jia is most worried about her.

"Second sister and third sister are coming soon, and the house will be lively."

"Your brother-in-law has gone to see the house in the past few days. We can't afford the house near Shen's house, so we might be far away, but they are all in one place, and it will be easy to meet each other in the future." Ever since leaving her hometown, Shen Jing felt that the world was in turmoil. Relax, she is the master of everything in the house, no one will tell her what to do, it seems that she will be free all of a sudden, she doesn't want to let her go back now, so this Chang'an house must be bought.

"Okay, you guys read it first. I'll find someone to help you take a look after I'm done. It's best for Brother Han to pick it up too. You ask your brother-in-law to write a letter and say that I'm going to introduce Brother Han to study at Qingshan Academy. Chang'an is second to none, Brother Han is not young anymore, if you don't press down on studying, you will be ruined in the future."

"I never understood this. It's just that my mother-in-law was reluctant and worried that our family would come to Chang'an and she wouldn't be able to take care of her. Leaving Brother Han would be tantamount to grabbing our lifeblood. Your eldest brother-in-law is filial, how could you object? Her? But don't worry, I will definitely persuade him to bring Brother Han back."

Shen Jing was still thinking about how to tell her husband about this matter when she went back. Yang Sen had already made up her mind to bring her son to her side to discipline her. He looked at Zhao Ting, and the more he looked at it, the more ashamed he became. He was obviously of the same age. Boy, why is the gap so big?

"Mr. Zhao's family must hope that their son will become a dragon. Such a strict upbringing is absolutely incomparable to our family. My child is naughty, and he is far behind you."

Zhao Ting tilted his head and glanced at him. He had heard something about Shen Jia's family before, and he also knew that a child in his family was left behind in his hometown and placed in a different place. If he was that child, he would definitely Those who prefer to stay with their parents, and the old lady would definitely like her grandson to grow up by her side.

He said lightly: "Although I also want to play, the beautiful world outside is so beautiful, my family is not short of money, even if I don't work hard, I can live a rich life, but when people grow up, they have to do something and take responsibility for themselves Responsibility, I was lazy when I was young, how can I take responsibility when I grow up? My uncle always takes pity on me, and at the same time increases my homework, which makes people love and hate."

Yang Sen didn't expect that he would be educated by a child one day, and he felt that it was reasonable. He used to think that his son was still young, and it would be good to stay with his mother to be a filial piety, but now he dare not think so. His son is the eldest son and grandson. , who will always inherit the family business in the future, if he is cultivated into a dandy, what will he do in the future?

He secretly made up his mind, and wrote a letter to send his eldest son to Chang'an in a short while. Here, his wife and younger brother can help, and he can find a famous teacher to teach him. He doesn't need to be as good as Mr. Zhao, but he must be sensible.

Zhao Ting left after eating, he only had half a day's vacation, and when he returned to the palace, he was talked about by his father-in-law, especially when he learned that he concealed his identity and went to the courtier's house for dinner, he was even more shocked and didn't know what to say.

"My lord, you are still young, you can't get too close to the courtiers. The old slave said something disrespectful. Although the emperor intends to make you the crown prince, after all, the matter has not yet been settled. If the emperor has a parent in the future, he may change it. If you are too close to the courtiers, it will easily arouse the emperor's fear." After all, it is not a biological one, so who can guess the emperor's thoughts?

Zhao Ting also understands this, but he feels that Shen Jia is different, the emperor's uncle's attitude towards Shen Jia is too casual, he has even seen Shen Jia yelling at the emperor's uncle, so what is the attitude of a courtier towards the emperor ?

And he really likes Shen Jia's family, the family gets along so easily and harmoniously that one can't help being nostalgic.

"You don't need to talk about it, the king understands." Zhao Ting changed his clothes and went to pay his respects to the emperor's uncle. By the way, he told him where he went today and what he did. This is what he would do every time he came back from the palace. .

Zhao Zhang also intended to cultivate his perspective on things. After hearing his experience today, he frowned and asked Mr. Du, "Is today the holiday of the household department?"

Director Du bowed his head and replied, "Yes."

"Oh." Zhao Zhang nodded and said to Zhao Ting: "Since you are allowed to leave the palace, you can go wherever you like, but you can't do anything out of line. The Shen residence is very safe. You can go if you want, but if you go The other ministers' families have prophets to meet me, and I will arrange it for you."

"Thank you, Uncle."

"Well, since you saw the incidents of local hooligans beating up and bullying people today, then write an article on this topic and talk about how to deal with these people. If you don't understand something, you can ask Shi Ye. You can ask Shen Jia for advice."

"Nephew knows."

After Shen Jia returned home, she found out that someone had come to the door. After asking Shen's mother, she guessed that Zhao Ting had been there, but the two separated on the street, and the other party knew that he was not at home, so why did she come to Shen's residence?

But the child's mind is hard to guess, and the person has already left, so he didn't take it to heart.

Hearing that Shen's mother loved Zhao Ting very much, Shen Jia couldn't bear to tell her that he was the emperor's nephew, His Highness the future prince, since they agreed to come again next time, it's better for her to treat her normally.

After the weather gets hotter, morning is no longer the most difficult time, but noon is the most unbearable time.

At this time last year, Shen Jia was still in the Imperial Academy, and the yamen was hot all day long, but this year he moved to the household department, and the yamen offered ice as soon as the summer came, which was really a different treatment.

However, not all officials could get ice in their offices. As the emperor's favored minister, Shen Jia still had this kind of preferential treatment. He even paid for ice in private to improve the working environment for his subordinates, which won everyone's praise.

After spending three months, Shen Jia finally came up with a complete set of plans for the reconstruction of the accounting system. Those officials who had originally focused on the Accounting Department saw that they hadn't moved for a long time, and they only acted as the Accounting Department. But that's all, I'm afraid it will be another reform that ends without a problem.

As a result, three months later, Shen Jia handed over the answer sheet, a plan that made the cabinet ministers look amazed and puzzled.

The cabinet ministers have a wide range of knowledge, and they also understand the matter of keeping accounts. They thought that Shen Jia was just making a fuss, but after reading his plan, they realized that this is simply reincarnation. If you follow Shen Jia's template If it is changed, I am afraid that the accountants all over the world will have to go back to the furnace and rebuild.

Xu Shoufu put forward his opinion and said: "Director Shen, I have been forgetting to ask, what is the plan you propose to transform the household department into? With such a big change, do you think the whole world can follow your plan?"

Shen Jia replied respectfully: "Master Shou Fu, please see that the lower officials have proposed three stages of transformation goals, which can be separated and carried out step by step, and whether the later ones can be completed will not affect the previous changes. Let's take our time. The lower officials are confident that in time, all parts of the country will be perfected."

"Then Master Shen is going to devote his whole life to this matter? If it can be done, it will indeed be a great achievement that will benefit the country and future generations."

Shen Jia didn't comment on this, how could he only do this one thing all his life?And he didn't think it would take a lifetime to change a set of accounting plans. If it weren't for the extremely slow communication and no informatization in this era, two or three years would be enough.

"The minister will try his best to supervise this matter. Whether the expectation can be achieved depends on the results. Maybe the subordinate official's expectations are too good, and some adjustments should be made according to the actual situation in the actual implementation."

Chu Rongwei of the Ministry of Rites flipped through it a little bit and stopped reading it. Anyway, it has nothing to do with him, so let the Ministry of Households toss about it. The Shangshu adults of the other yamen don’t care too much. No matter how good the writing is, it may not be the best. Well, Shen Jia is a fledgling and doesn't understand how difficult it is to carry out a government order, so he will learn to behave after a few stumbles.

"Since the cabinet has no objection, let's do it according to Director Shen's proposal. I heard that you have started teaching apprentices how to make new accounts. The accountants of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Department of Internal Affairs are also going to learn from you. I want to see it as soon as possible. Go to the new ledger and see if it is as easy to use as Director Shen said." As soon as the emperor made a final decision, he sent someone to call the relevant officials in the palace, and went out of the palace to study for half a day every day.

Shen Jia understands that Zhao Zhang is supporting him with practical actions. Think about it, even the emperor is planning to replace the accounts in the palace with new ones. Can other yamen not follow suit?

So within a few days, there were many newcomers in Shen Jia's classroom, all of them were bookkeepers sent by various yamen.

Shen Jia chose a teahouse to teach. This teahouse is Shi Ye's private property. He heard that Shen Jia was looking for a place to teach, so he simply lent it to him. Anyway, this teahouse has been operating at a loss, and he has long wanted to close it.

Shen Jia paid the rental fee, which can be reimbursed by the household department, so of course he would not let his prospective brother-in-law suffer.

His students expanded from 80 to 100 students at the beginning to more than [-] students. Fortunately, the teahouse specially designed a podium to tell stories to storytellers on weekdays, which also has the effect of amplifying the sound. Still smoky.

"That's all for today. If you don't understand, you can discuss with each other. The textbook will be printed out tomorrow. With the textbook, you can learn it by yourself when you go back. It's similar to the previous practice. I think everyone will learn it soon."

The people in the various yamen were originally very reluctant to come here to study. They felt that their level was not bad, and their books were also very good. How could they learn from a young official?But after listening to Shen Jia's class, they were speechless.

Shen Jia's class was not only extremely vivid, but also gave many examples, such as how to tell if it was a fake account. After listening to him, many people were chilled. If they were going to go back, they would have to correct the account book again, otherwise they would let the account This group of people from the Ministry came to check, and every check was accurate.

?Author's gossip: yesterday's chapter number was wrong, 65 chapters were omitted, I felt like 65 was in my mind, why did the typed out become 66?
