After eating and drinking, Zheng Xiong watched Zheng Yiyan leave.
The meal was nothing but not very satisfying, and my feelings towards Zheng Yiyan were just average.
A person who does not seek merit, but seeks no faults.
The family he left for himself was not substantial, but it was decent.
In short, he is a very ordinary official. He can complete the tasks assigned to him, but he is not outstanding. He is like a steady old farmer who works for a year just to provide three meals a day for his family. Maybe this is enough.
Just like most officials, they just have to work hard to keep their affairs from collapsing, and finally get to the position with this diligence.
All this is not enough for Zheng Xiong.
Since you have become a governor, you must do a good job and fulfill your obligations within your ability.
The pharmacy is like this. If you make changes based on some miscellaneous books from later generations, it will not be a waste of time and the effect will be good.
Jiaofang Secretary, well, it’s because I didn’t have time to give the young ladies a comfortable home, so I don’t count.
Now that Yingtian Mansion is in your hands, let's set a small goal first, and try to make sure everyone can have a full meal!
Thinking of this, Zheng Xiong came to the government office again, walked into the exclusive governor's room to work, and looked at the paperwork in a daze.
There is always a gap between ideals and reality. You can't do anything with this little money, let alone other ideas.
Today, we still have to make money.
Just like Brother Hao, he just wants to make money.
After being in a daze for a long time, Fu Cheng walked in with a pile of documents. Although he was still a little uncomfortable, he saluted Zheng Xiong and said.
"Lord Fu Yin, this is the population and land of eight counties in our Yingtian Prefecture. Please take a look."
Facing the respectful Prime Minister Zheng Xiong, he was still a little uncomfortable. In the past, he had to say hello respectfully when meeting, but now it's the other way around.
As a result, I couldn't adapt to it, let alone the Fu Cheng. Fortunately, Zheng Xiong was not a person who insisted on putting on an official tone. He insisted on playing the tricks of thirty years in the east of Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, the kind of trick that a villain gets his way.
After hearing Fu Cheng's words, Zheng Xiong spoke.
"Wangfu Cheng, after all, you are still my senior. This is the first time for me to get on the sedan chair as a big girl. From now on, I will need your help with the affairs of this government office. Just treat me as the junior, so there is no need to be so respectful."
Wang Fucheng's real name is Wang Peng. He is nearly fifty years old and his beard has turned gray.
Zheng Xiong's funny words relieved the awkward atmosphere a lot.
"Although Xiaguan Chi is a few years older, the etiquette cannot be abolished. Mr. Fu Yin's young China said that Xiaguan also paid homage to him."
"Master Fu Yin has already assumed the position of Fu Yin at the age of twenty, which shows the potential of the young man."
"The courtesy of being dismissed today is due to Mr. Fu Yin's contribution and nothing else. You are welcome, Mr. Fu Yin."
As the deputy of Fu Yin, Fu Cheng helps Fu Yin handle affairs and is also the second-in-command.
Besides, at nearly fifty years old, he could still say such flattering words to Zheng Xiong, which shows that anyone's success is not unreasonable.
Anyway, Zheng Xiong felt comfortable being licked, and the embarrassment disappeared. After all, the most important thing about human relations is that if you are polite and don't blame others, any courtesy will do.
"What can you say about these things that Wangfu Cheng sent? I don't understand. I still need Wangfu Cheng to give you some advice."
These words made the two of them less embarrassed, and Wang Peng explained to Zheng Xiong.
"Don't take advice seriously. Soon the Ministry of Household Affairs will formulate this year's taxes. Let these adults take a look and know what to do in court."
Zheng Xiong was aroused by the word "chaotang". What he feared the most was these two words, which meant getting up early.
"Wait a minute, I won't be going to this daily court meeting. The prime minister of the mansion can do more work. I'm sorry to trouble you."
Without giving Wang Peng a chance to react, Zheng Xiong continued.
"As for taxes, you have an idea of what's going on. I'll take care of it when the time comes. I'll rest assured that you'll do the work."
"If you have nothing else to do, you can leave. On this first day, I want to see a lot of things. If you are familiar with them, I won't keep you here. Please."
Wang Peng walked out of Zheng Xiong's office in a daze.
He said it well, but in the blink of an eye his face changed and there was no one left.
Without asking yourself if you want to go or not, without taking a look at how you have come over the past few years, you just make clear arrangements for yourself.
The second-in-command has no say. Fortunately, it has always been like this. Habits become natural and it only takes two days to get used to it.
Wang Peng left, and soon Zhizhong came. Fortunately, he was the third-in-command who was one level younger than the Prime Minister. He was involved in the affairs of the government, and he left after establishing a relationship.
After all, Zheng Xiong had been promoted repeatedly and came to the government office more than once or twice. There were always people he knew well.
Followed by the two general judges of Yingtian Mansion, the general judge is the deputy mayor, responsible for grain transportation, water conservancy, farming, horse herding, rivers, etc.
Originally, the more people there are for these matters, the better, and the responsibilities can be better divided. Who is Lao Zhu who lacks people? It is good to have these two, and it is impossible to give another bicycle.
Those who are capable work harder, and accordingly the powers of the two people are much greater.
Unlike Fu Cheng and Zhi Zhong, they simply came to report their work and give reminders.
The two general magistrates came here with the intention of asking Zheng Xiong to re-divide the responsibilities.
As an emperor and a courtier, instead of waiting for Zheng Xiong to set a fire, it is better to come and ask yourself.
Like Zheng Xiong, Lao Zhu chose Zheng Xiong to scare the monkeys, so Tong San is also a good choice. Tong San is the right position to start with.
Although there is some friendship, who knows how much the friendship is worth!
"Master Fu Yin, do you think our affairs should be re-divided now?"
Although it felt good to do this one by one, Zheng Xiong was also annoyed.
"You two, the previous governor's arrangements are still the same, so I won't make any changes."
"The same goes for everyone else. Please talk to them, just like before."
Seeing that Zheng Xiong had made his attitude clear, the two of them didn't get too entangled.
"As commanded."
After saying that, the two went out to tell everyone what Zheng Xiong had said.
When the news spread, Zheng Xiong's place was finally clean and he could quietly think about how to make money.
When it comes to how to make money quickly, Zheng Xiong has a hundred ways.
That's written in the criminal law. Just look at the sentencing. There are a lot of cases for reference.
But they are not very realistic.
Running a lottery won't work without the support of big data, and besides, there aren't that many people with the spare money.
Tobacco, wine, and tea are good things. Tobacco, wine, and tea are all highly profitable products regardless of the family.
But the wine was the first to be rejected. The lesson learned just now must be remembered long.
Smoking is good, but it won't work without a good origin.
In the end all that was left was tea.
I've long wanted to get some green tea to drink, but I haven't been able to do so. Now I can give it a try.
Besides, tea has always been boiled. In Lao Zhu's eyes, this tedious tea-making wastes money and wastes people, so he wants to ban it and replace it with loose tea, which is convenient and fast.
If you do it well, you can actually make a fortune and do something for yourself.
