Chapter 355: Courtesy has a price

Style: Historical Author: Wang XiaodouWords: 3313Update Time: 24/01/11 22:16:35
Since ancient times, our country in the Central Plains has been a country of etiquette. When faced with a group of foreign barbarians, we always repay evil with kindness. Treat each other with courtesy. Chinese people are a nation that is reasonable and also a nation that respects etiquette. You respect me one foot, and I respect you one foot. If you take a step forward, I can also take a step back.

It is said that etiquette existed as early as when people were a group of monkeys. There are differences between men and women, old and young, and the internal relationships between people need to be properly handled. This is the original etiquette of human relations.

Of course, the scope of etiquette is very wide and very complicated. For example, when a king does not die, he pays homage to the prefect Xie Xiangrong. It is for common people to pay homage to their parents. Etiquette is also important. For example, if you have a personal relationship, you can simply write a greeting note. People who are more sophisticated will also bring some gifts. Similar to eggs and milk in the 21st century, of course, the greater the gap, the heavier the gift will be. Relatives and friends, eggs and milk are fine, but leaders need shopping cards and vouchers for certain clubs.

Of course, since you are not related to the magistrate, it is still difficult to meet him. After all, he does not know you well and does not have the right to meet you. However, rules are dead and people are alive. People soon figured it out. Methods include sending red envelopes, shopping cards, or cars and houses.

If you come empty-handed, you're obviously not going to be welcome.

For example, the king is immortal at this moment.

The gatekeeper looked at Wang Busheng as if he were a fool, and then turned his gaze to the distance. Too lazy to pay attention.

"Um, is it possible that in order to take care of the disabled, the prefect's Yamen gives them a bowl of rice, so the gatekeepers are all disabled people?"

Wang Busui made a guess in his mind. Then he stretched out his palm and waved it in front of the Yamen servant's eyes. This is what doctors at the hospital do when they examine your eyes.

"What are you doing?" the officer asked with displeasure.

"So you're not blind."

"Bold!" The old Yamen servant got angry because of embarrassment and pressed his hand on the handle of the knife. "You are so bold that you dare to tease the official."

"Uh, misunderstanding, misunderstanding. Don't be angry, officials. Common people don't mean it." Everyone would be angry if someone said they were blind. Wang Busheng hurriedly explained, and then quietly stuffed a banknote into the pocket of the yamen servant. Well, the denomination is not big, it is part of my income today, one tael of silver.

Sure enough, money is still very useful. The yamen servant's expression softened a lot and he removed his hand from the handle of the knife. "Next time, be careful of your dog's life."

You must know that insulting the staff of the Ming Empire is also a very serious crime. At a lighter level, you are just calling the government officials blind; at a more severe level, you are challenging the royal majesty. It is very simple to find a crime to kill you.

If Wang Buzi knew that one tael of silver saved his life, he would definitely be grateful for his luck. Of course, if he knew in advance that Wang Buzi thought he should give one more tael, after all, his life was more than one tael.

"Yes, yes, sir, the common people will never dare to do it again." Wang Busheng hurriedly borrowed the donkey from the slope. Then he said, "Please tell me, sir, that the common people want to visit the prefect."

He looked behind Wang Busheng and then at Wang Busheng's clothes. It was obvious that the Yamen servant was very disappointed and waved his hand, "Boy, go back to where you came from. The magistrate has worked so hard to take care of the people of Songjiang Prefecture. How can he have time to meet you?" You wait for the grassroots,"

Naturally, you have to go to the government to buy land. If you build a house on state-owned land without any formalities, it will be demolished. Wang Busheng is a law-abiding citizen. Therefore, only by meeting the prefect and obtaining the land deed can we build a house legally. If you can't meet the prefect, you can't get the land title and build a house. Without a house, you can't produce on a large scale. You can't quickly become the richest man in Songjiang Prefecture. The dream of three wives cannot be realized. She would also be angry if she didn't complete the tasks assigned by Zhang Jinghui. If you can't handle even the smallest things well, how can you trust your little sister to yourself and yourself? Therefore, the king must succeed, and failure to succeed is not a human being.

"My lord, I really have something important to ask you to see the magistrate. Please tell me, lord." Wang Busui begged again, this time he was much more polite, bowed and clasped his fists.

Wang Busheng has always disliked this way of greeting. It's too taxing on the waist, especially for men. It hurts the waist and is not good. But if you do as the Romans do, you don't like to kneel down to others.

"There are so many people who want to see the prefect every day and have a glimpse of his style. Do you think anyone who wants to see me should report it? I am running around. I am not tired. I have to spend money to buy supplements when I get home. And everyone in the prefect You are old and frail, so you don't have the energy to deal with political affairs and receive visitors at the same time. The most important thing is that you are still empty-handed." The yamen officer explained seriously, his eyes always looking at Wang Busheng.

"Um, is it possible that the prefect is just like a monkey in a zoo? He needs to take in a lot of customers every day." Wang Busui cursed in his heart.

What the yamen officer said makes sense. It would be rude to go to see the owner empty-handed. Why don't you go buy some apples and watermelons yourself?

Meeting is a must, this is what Wang Bushit must do, and the money spent must be spent. So Wang Bushu then asked, "Master, how about I go buy some gifts first."

"Haha, this is necessary, but it's not that troublesome. Just give me the money and I'll buy it for you. I've been on guard here for many years and I see the prefect every day. What does the prefect like about me? Most clearly." The yamen servant looked at the pocket where Wang Busheng took out the money just now.

Wang Busui understood instantly and hurriedly took out the silver. He was about to count out five taels. Five taels of fruit should be enough to feed the magistrate and his family for a few days. However, before Wang Busui could finish counting the silver, he was snatched away by the government servant. He took a look at it, then stuffed it into his pocket unceremoniously, coughed and said, "The prefect loves the people like a son and knows the sufferings of the people. If you have any difficulties, just tell him, and he will definitely make the decision for you. Just wait." , I will go and inform you right away.”

Sure enough, the words were spoken by both of them. If I had known that I could get it done with just a little money, why would I still be groveling and begging for compromise? The male protagonist must be a man, not a hypocrite. And the money spent was not much, less than thirty taels in total.

Today I had another extra income. The yamen servant was still very happy. He walked to the yamen and took out a ticket in a deserted corner. At this moment, the yamen servant was excited, but after seeing the face value of the banknote, the yamen servant became even more excited. I was so excited that I couldn't help cursing, "Nah, it's all one or two."

Well, the value of one tael of silver notes is also more expensive than that of straw paper. I counted the one-tael banknotes carefully. I guess the yamen servant was taught arithmetic by the physical education teacher. He counted it three or five times before he could count it clearly. Of course, the amount was also very large. Not satisfied, "Grandma's, only twenty-nine taels in total. How stingy."

The job of a janitor is a very hard job. It comes in the wind and rain. It is hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It is also very harmful to the skin when it is hot and cold. There is no care from Dabao. However, you will be rewarded if you pay. I can't bear it. How can the unbearable pain of others be rewarded with value that is difficult to obtain? As the first line of defense for the Songjiang Prefecture Yamen, no matter what you want to do, you must first pass this level. Therefore, the responsibilities are very heavy, but smart people can also make reasonable use of their positions to reap benefits, such as the red envelopes given by those who want to meet the prefect.

Some career gains are a steady stream of work, while some careers can only make you a big fortune at once, a one-time deal.

However, it is obvious that the job of guarding is a long-term one. After all, it is worth spending a little money to see the monkeys of the fourth-grade officials and chat with them for a few words. It's just unfortunate that this job was ruined by the government officials for no other reason than that the fee was too high. It is impossible to meet the prefect for less than one hundred taels. You must know that the average annual income of the people in Songjiang Prefecture is only eight hundred and eighty. For ten taels, if you ask him to spend a year's savings to see the monkeys, one visit is enough. Therefore, the government officials have had no customers for a long time. Even if his price drops again and again, there are very few customers. He was still very happy to meet Wang Busui. He looked at the twenty-nine taels and carefully put them into his pocket. They were the size of mosquitoes and were meat. He went back to buy a set of cosmetics for his wife. She should be very happy.

Wang Busheng was very lucky. He didn't encounter any unscrupulous merchants who took money and did nothing. Although the money was a little short, the government servant still ran towards the prefect's office.

As the first educated villain, his appearance is naturally different. For example, when he was naked in the Shuangwaiwai Bathhouse and was watched by people on the street, it was very eye-catching and unique.

As the parent officer of Songjiang Mansion and the second oldest person in the world, he could barely rank among the top three. Xie Xiangrong's job is still very easy, and he usually doesn't dare to be disturbed.

No one should suffer hardship for their children. This is a true portrayal of being a parent. Of course, it is really good to treat yourself well. As a prefect who works conscientiously for the Ming Empire and the people, it should be understandable to enjoy it in a timely manner. For example, Xie Xiangrong is enjoying it very much at this moment.

The room is filled with smoke, which is very suitable for filming the scene of the old man becoming an immortal in the fairy tale drama. Don't misunderstand that this is not the masterpiece of the old smoker, but because of the burning of sandalwood. There are many kinds of sandalwood, and the most precious one is The most popular one is ambergris. Of course, this is a variety that only princes, generals, ministers and members of the imperial court are eligible to enjoy. However, the level of the prefect is not too low. After all, it does not cost one's own money. The scent of sandalwood is warm and refreshing. Cold, it has the effect of dispelling cold and relieving pain. According to rumors, it can also absorb yin and replenish yang, which is especially effective for male friends.

Although the magistrate's office outside is dilapidated and looks like it has been visited five times by the demolition team, the environment inside is still very good, with flowers, grass, trees and stones. After all, work efficiency is high when you are in a good mood. The miserable situation outside is for the people to see, but you live inside, so you can't treat yourself too badly.

And Xie Xiangrong's office decoration is extremely luxurious. I don't know whether it is comfortable or not, but Fei Yinzi is certain.

A variety of imported furniture and appliances fully demonstrate its distinguished status. Of course, these are far from enough. People with real substance will not show their taste through these high-consumption things, but also have hobbies. For example, Xie Xiangrong has a wide range of hobbies and has hobbies that everyone has, such as love for money and love for women. He loves real estate, and he also loves getting promoted and getting rich to kill his wife, but a leader is a leader, and he also has a special hobby - foot bathing.

It should be said that foot soaking is also very beneficial. It can maintain health and cure diseases, and is beneficial to physical and mental health.

At this time, Xie Xiangrong was leaning on the sofa, soaking his feet in the footbath. There were flowers and plants floating on the water, which were probably some Chinese medicine. The smoke in the room should also be the reason for the water vapor from the footbath.

Xie Xiangrong lay comfortably on the sofa, sinking into the sofa the whole time, enjoying the emperor-like feeling with his eyes closed.

At her feet are the maids who are waiting on her. According to the regulations, female staff are not allowed in this leadership office. However, the prefect does not like men to wait on her, so this rule is waived.

The girl was not very old, and she did her job seriously. She pressed her palms on the soles of Xie Xiangrong's feet, and Xie Xiangrong let out bursts of pleasant hums.
