Household Department.
Anyone who has studied accounting knows that financial people are busy about twice a year.
One is at the beginning of the year and the other is at the end of the year.
I have to be busy twice a month, at the beginning and end of the month.
Of course, this depends on the company's requirements, and may include the beginning and end of the quarter.
It's the beginning of the year, and it's the beginning of the month, so it's time for them to be busy.
The officials in the Ministry of Revenue were all so busy that they wished they could use their hands and feet together or grow four hands to settle accounts.
Not to mention drinking water and going to the toilet, people didn't even have time to raise their heads.
They all kept dialing the abacus on their desks, completely unaware of the emperor's arrival.
Lao Zhu was very pleased to see this. What does this mean?
It shows that the officials are very conscientious and have not neglected their duties.
"Your account book is wrong. Take it back and check it again before you come back."
"Well, it's only fifty dan short. I came all the way from the meander of the river to bring food. It's normal for it to be a little less. Can you please be accommodating?"
"No, no."
"Your account book says ten thousand shi, so you should give me ten thousand shi. Let alone fifty shi less, even one pound less or one tael less is not enough."
"Sir, please be accommodating..."
"We can't be accommodating. We also act according to the rules. If we are accommodating to you today, we will be accommodating to others tomorrow. If things continue like this..."
Suddenly, Lao Zhu was attracted by a quarrel, and he found out after listening carefully.
It turned out that the officials from Hequ County came to pay taxes, and they got into a quarrel because of the issue of the number of account books and the unwillingness of the Ministry of Revenue to accommodate them.
"Okay, okay."
Lao Zhu felt relieved when he saw that the people in the household department were so rigorous.
"The Ministry of Revenue is in charge of the national treasury and the world's food. That's how it should be."
Satisfied, he left the household department and went to the other five departments to inspect them one by one.
Seeing that everyone was working very hard, I happily prepared to go back for dinner.
But when I passed by the Ministry of Household Affairs, I saw the junior official who had just been arguing with the officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs.
At this moment, I had already picked up the paperwork proving the settlement and was about to leave.
"stop."
Lao Zhu's face became a little ugly. He motioned to Yun Qi to take the document from the man's hand and read it carefully before asking.
"You came to Yingtian from Hequ to pay taxes and grain?"
He originally thought that it was the Ministry of Household official who couldn't help but pester people to get things done.
Unexpectedly, the numbers on the document have been changed to the correct ones.
But the meander of the river is thousands of miles away, how did he manage to hold his breath and go back and forth?
It seems that this matter is not that simple, I am afraid there is something I don’t know.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Seeing his age, his dragon-patterned clothes, and seeing the eunuch following him, what else could the junior official not understand about his identity?
Meeting the saint for the first time, he swallowed with excitement.
This time I get to see Tianyan, and when I go back, I might be able to show off for the rest of my life.
What he doesn't know yet is that danger is coming, and it's hard to say whether he can save the head on his neck, let alone show off when he goes home.
"oh?"
Lao Zhu looked at the documents in his hand and his voice became colder.
"Then tell me, how many days does it take to get from Hequ to Yingtian?"
Su Wanying was giving birth when the accident happened, and Gu Chen took leave of absence to return home, so he didn't get the news immediately.
He listened to his wife's painful voice and looked at the basins of blood. He was so anxious that smoke was coming from his head and he kept spinning in circles in his yard.
"Wang Po, do you remember the forceps I taught you?"
When a woman gave birth, her mother-in-law and mother-in-law refused to let her in.
What to say is unlucky.
Otherwise, he would still like to go in and see it in person before he can feel relieved.
"I remember, I remember." Mrs. Wang nodded, and then couldn't help but sigh: "Sir, I've been delivering babies all my life."
"I have seen countless husbands, but you are the first to be so anxious about this wife. Don't worry, I have experience with you, old lady."
After saying that, she rushed into the delivery room again, leaving Gu Chen to continue walking in circles.
Although Pearl was still young, she also followed behind and was busy, such as helping to pass a handkerchief, pouring hot water and so on.
Gu Chen couldn't help but said when he saw Gu An spinning in circles like him.
"Why are you so anxious? My wife is giving birth to a child, not your wife."
At this time, he felt very disgusted when he saw this mobile surveillance!
"Master~"
Gu An shrank his neck and lowered his head in embarrassment.
In fact, Mrs. Gu was very kind to him. She didn't treat him as a slave. She even made him clothes and shoes herself, and she didn't treat him badly in terms of money.
As long as he takes care of the family and doesn't do bad things, he will still be loyal to the Gu family.
"Master, I don't know what happened. There are many Jinwu Guards dispatched outside. They are all heading outside the city. They look very scary."
With so many people mobilized, could it be that a corrupt official is about to be sacked again?
Hearing this, Gu Chen hurriedly went out to take a look, and sure enough he saw a steady stream of Jinwu guards galloping towards the city gate, thinking to himself Amitabha.
If I guessed correctly, the empty seal case should have broken out.
With such a big battle, there must be another wailing in the morning tomorrow.
The child is indeed a bit big, and it was a little difficult for Su Wanying to give birth.
Grandma Wang was a little curious about the efficacy of forceps, but she hesitated for a while before using them. By now she could already see the child's head.
"Wow~"
It's important to use it once. After using it, no one will fall in love with it.
"Congratulations to Mr. Gu, congratulations to Mrs. Gu, you are so happy to have a daughter of gold."
When Gu Chen heard that she was indeed a girl, she had a new understanding of Monk Yao's abilities, but what he cared about the most was how his wife was doing.
He was completely relieved when he learned that both mother and daughter were safe.
"Master Gu." Mrs. Wang held the cleaned pliers and said with some embarrassment: "Look, this thing of yours works so well."
"It is easy for this woman to step into the gate of hell when she gives birth. Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. Mr. Gu is also the official of parents..."
After all, she just wanted the pliers.
"Okay." Gu Chen was not stingy and gave her a drawing directly: "You can make a few of them yourself. If this mother uses them up, she will use them for another mother."
"Remember to use strong alcohol to disinfect, otherwise it will easily cause infection. Oh, yes, remember to use strong alcohol to disinfect before and after use."
Gu Chen didn't even think about exchanging this thing for money. It was just an ordinary thing, but if he had to exchange money for life-saving things, his conscience would be uneasy.
However, Mrs. Wang was also a polite person, so she exempted herself from paying for the birth.
He also said: "Master Gu, if there is any happy event for your family in the future, just come to see me. You are a righteous person. I will not charge you any money for delivering babies to your family in the future."
Although it didn't cost much to deliver the baby, Gu Chen felt comfortable hearing it.
After seeing off Wang Po, Gu Chen went in to see his daughter. When his mother-in-law, Zhang, saw him coming in, she hurriedly smiled and asked him to come over and see her daughter.
"Uncle, come and see, does this child look like you or Ying'er?"
When she came to Beijing this time and saw how well her son-in-law treated her daughter, she was completely relieved.
"Naturally, she looks like Wanying. Wanying is beautiful. It would be nice for a daughter to be like her."
After saying that, Gu Chen reached out and held his wife's hand with a heartfelt expression.
"Thanks for your hard work."
Modern mothers must have a hard time giving birth to themselves, right?
I don’t know what’s going on with her and her father now. Knowing that the son she worked so hard to raise is dead, I’m afraid she has to fight her own mentor, right?
It's because of my fault that my heart is so fragile, I failed my parents and brought trouble to my mentor.
