The Road to the Imperial Examinations of Farmers in Ancient Times

At sunset, the vendors on the side of the road packed up their stalls and went home. The business of this day was pretty good. There were not many officials and bullies who collected protection fees in a day, and the money from the sale of the goods was in their pockets. Pretend, these small traders are not to mention how happy they are.

Before the city gate fell, the people living outside the city rushed out of the city to go home.

In the morning, a large number of people lined up to come in, and now a large number of people lined up to wait to go out. Before leaving the city, the vendors had to return the badges they received today and give the badges to the soldiers who were in charge of inspection at the gate of the city. There, you can go out of the city smoothly.

"...That's about all I want to say. If you don't have any questions, that's the end of today's summary meeting." Here, when everyone came back, Li Wen called all the people over for a summary meeting, talking about some of the problems he saw today.

If there is any problem, just raise it, everyone discuss it together, and find a solution. This is the best way for a department to handle affairs.Once faced with work problems, he always asks to deal with them strictly.

Now all the departments of the imperial court have a huge problem, that is, the inefficiency and slowness of handling affairs. A problem has to be submitted layer by layer. I don’t know how many people have to go through it. It takes ten days for a small problem. It takes half a month to handle it.And in their commercial department, in the training that Li Wen gave to the new subordinates on the first day, the first thing he said was to find problems in time and deal with them in a timely manner. sky.

Li Wen also clearly told all the newcomers to their department that if they just want to dawdle, they should change places as soon as possible. Now that they are here, everyone should work together and work hard to make their department a success.

Today is the first day of the implementation of the new tax law. The staff of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce officially started to work and took over the work of taxation. Because there are fewer people and more tasks, everyone's work is still very large. Basically, all the work that was brought over that day The documents have to be reviewed and processed on the same day, so everyone is busy from the morning to the afternoon, basically without much rest in between.

After working all day, everyone's hands and feet are still soft, and some people talk too much today, and their voices are hoarse.

It is conceivable that at the end of the day, everyone has worked hard.

"Everyone has done a good job today, and we will continue to work hard tomorrow. There is nothing to do next, and everyone can go back first." Li Wen went to see it in person today. He saw everyone's work, and the staff in their department were not counted. Many, basically he knows everyone, and can accurately call everyone's name here.

Because it is the first day of work, everyone is still in the stage of adapting and getting used to it, Li Wen can understand this.But today everyone's work can achieve this level without any trouble, which is beyond his expectation

Their commercial department has just started, and there is still a long way to go, so this beginning must be done well, which is why Li Wen attaches so much importance to today's work.

This department was established by him alone. It is not only related to his personal career and future, but also to the career and future of everyone who enters here, and even the future business and economic development of Dacheng. So this is why he is eager to set up this department.

Since everyone had been busy all day, Li Wen didn't say any more nonsense to delay others' time, and after he finished speaking, he turned around and went to work on other things.At this time, others can go back first, but he, the superior, cannot. He has to review and review all the accounts recovered today.

Seeing that their adults left first, the people below have been busy for a day, basically they go back first if they have nothing to do at hand, and those who have unfinished things stay and continue to deal with the matters on their heads. Walk.

Shen Zijing and Su Yuan stayed behind to help with the work, and with two more people together, the speed of reviewing the data would be much faster.

They were busy until it was dark, and then they read through a lot of ledger data, and picked out some problematic ones. These can be dealt with tomorrow, anyway, there is no way to finish it tonight.Seeing that it was getting dark outside, Li Wen called someone to come over and put away these ledgers and put them away, and they would have to hand them over to the household department.

The money collected by their commercial department will not stay here with their industrial and commercial department, so the money just passes through them and will eventually be handed over to the household department.

After reading these ledgers, Li Wen probably had some idea of ​​the amount received today.It wasn't until the end of the work that I realized that I had kept my head down for too long, and my neck hurt very much when I lifted it up. Seeing that it was getting late, Li Wen said, "That's it for today, let's go back first."

"Yeah, let's see you two." Shen Zijing had already finished his work and was waiting for Li Wen and Su Yuan.

"How about finding a place to eat?" Li Wen raised his head and asked.

By this time, they were all hungry, but Shen Zijing didn't care, "I can do whatever you want."

"Then let's find a place to eat." Anyway, I will eat by myself when I go back, so it's better to eat with friends and have a companion.Seeing that it was getting late outside, Li Wen smiled and said, "We're in time for supper now.

It's not uncommon for him to miss three meals a day after being so busy. Anyway, Shen Zijing has already gotten used to it since the first day he came here.

There is a small kitchen here in their government office. Every day, a large pot is set up in the backyard to cook porridge, steamed steamed buns, and pickles. Whoever is hungry can eat, there is no limit.At the end of the day, the porridge and steamed rotten heads in the big pot behind were all eaten.

During this period of time, there was only porridge and steamed buns to satisfy his hunger. Shen Zijing's face turned green from eating. He said that as long as he was not called to eat porridge and steamed buns, he would have no objections.

When they came out, the guard at the door saw them and greeted them, "Master Li, you are going back."

Li Wen also knew the guards at the door, nodded to them with a smile, and said, "There should be no one inside, you go in and have a look, lock the door in a while and go."

"Yes, sir, go slowly."

There are special people responsible for closing and opening the door here. You have to wait until all the people inside have left, the guards have checked that there is no one inside, and you can go back after closing the doors and windows.After inspecting the inside without any problems, the guard locked the door, and the two left together.

The streets in the capital today are obviously cleaner than usual. When they came out, there were still people cleaning the streets.

They had a meal outside and then went back separately.

Shen Zijing and Su Yuan got into the carriage and went back to their residence, Li Wen took Ah Chen back to Liuyuan Mansion.

When he came back from the outside, it was already the beginning of Haishi, that is, around nine o'clock in the evening. If this time was placed in the previous life, nine o'clock in the evening would be the beginning of the night.However, in this era when there is no entertainment other than going to brothels and drinking wine at night, most people go home to sleep as soon as it gets dark.

Here in the capital is better than some small places, at least there are cars, horses and pedestrians walking on the streets after dark.

As a family man, going to Yulou brothels to drink flower wine is definitely not something that can be done. Li Wen does not doubt that the men in the family will turn over the vinegar bucket if they find out.But originally he wasn't interested in those places, it's one thing that he didn't like women... But there seems to be Nanfeng Hall and Qingfeng Tower in the capital, which are places that raise young men and serve people, there are many beautiful little boys, But he hasn't had the chance to go yet.

...cough cough...

Li Wen said silently in his heart, he is a man with a family, and there is a vinegar bucket at home... At best, he is just a little curious~ that's all...

In short, those places where there are demons and ghosts to confuse people are absolutely not to go!So, he'd better come back to work overtime! On the way back, he was thinking about what he was going to do when he came back to work overtime tonight, but Li Wen didn't expect that someone at home was already waiting for him to go back.

"Master, you're back." Li Tong was waiting at the door, and as soon as he saw them coming back, he immediately went up to him and said in a low voice that the master was here, "Master, have you eaten yet? In the kitchen There are also vegetables and rice, shall I bring them to you?"

I don't know if the guy waiting for him in the courtyard has eaten it?Li Wen came back after eating outside, he said, "Okay, then you can bring it over."

Afraid that the person waiting for him in the room didn't eat, I'd better get someone to bring something over, "Oh, by the way, bring a jug of wine.

"Okay, young master, I'll bring it to you right away." Li Tong replied and went to the kitchen.

At this time, most of the family members had fallen asleep. Yingchun waited for the master to come back, and came over to say hello. Li Wen asked people to go to rest, and there was no need to follow him.He went back to his own yard, saw the light in the house was on, knew that the man was here, opened the door and saw the man just put down the book in his hand.

Yo, have you read the book yet?

Li Wen raised his eyebrows, looked at the man in the room with a smile in his eyes, and asked, "Why are you here so early today? You have been waiting for me for a long time, haven't you?" Otherwise, why would you be bored enough to read his book? However, he rarely saw this man reading with a book in his hands.

When he got closer, Li Wen saw what kind of book Zhao Xiangyi was holding, and said involuntarily, "It's amazing, you can do all of this."

Turn it out? "

This book was written by him in his free time, and the content in it was about Sun Tzu's Art of War and 36 Strategies.When he was in high school in his last life, he was a military fan for a while, and he liked to read books on various art of war and weapons, but he has forgotten many of them up to now. He still remembers what he wrote down, so he did not write them down. Not very complete.

He has written these things for a long time, so he put them on the bookshelf casually, but Zhao Xiangyi did not expect to find them. This man can recognize his handwriting, so seeing the handwriting inside, it is not difficult to guess that it was written by him himself. of.
