"What is this kid Zheng Xiong doing recently?"
“Build houses, create things, make money.”
When he heard the word "pay money," the corner of Lao Zhu's mouth twitched, feeling a little sad.
"It's only been a few days, how come you got it? Have you given it all?"
"Here you go, once every ten days, you get about ten thousand yuan."
What a loser!
I was used to working as a free laborer, but suddenly I had so much extra expenses.
If this model is really implemented.
Lao Zhu really couldn't even think about what would happen.
"Just yesterday, the doctor took tens of thousands of dollars, piled them into a small mountain, and distributed them in person."
"Well, is Zheng Xiong here too? What did you say?"
The memorial in his hand paused slightly, Lao Zhu's eyes remained as usual, but his ears were stunned.
"Yes, it is said that it was given by His Majesty and the Crown Prince, and asked them to thank the Holy Majesty and His Highness."
Feeling relieved, Lao Zhu quickly finished reviewing the memorial and turned the memorial aside.
"At such a young age, he has a lot of tricks up his sleeve."
As he said this, Lao Zhu's face showed a happy expression.
Picking up a memorial, Lao Zhu continued.
"Just keep an eye on him. There are many people and there are many eyes on him. Don't let him get into danger."
"Send more people for protection."
"yes."
After Mao Xiang left, Lao Zhu nodded first, then shook his head, Nan Nan said.
"It will take ten years for scholars to rebel."
"I'm afraid it won't be possible with just tens of thousands of corvees."
"It's possible that trouble may occur. We'll have to deploy a large army to keep an eye on it."
As Zheng Xiong expected, Lao Zhu did become suspicious.
However, the remedy was in place and there were no serious consequences.
He escaped one disaster, but Zheng Xiong did not escape another disaster.
In Zhongshu Province, the right prime minister Hu Weiyong picked up a memorial written by the Ministry of Industry.
After reading it for a while, I understood the content, commented on a few words, and stamped it.
Zhongshu Sheng has great power, including appointing officials, issuing decrees, promulgating laws, sealing and rejecting memorials, and military punishment of Qian Gu.
All orders and memorials shall be forwarded and issued by the Zhongshu Province, otherwise it shall be illegal.
The Prime Minister of Zhongshu is located below the emperor and above all officials.
Hu Weiyong serves as the right prime minister, and Wang Guangyang does nothing and does not cause trouble. Basically, he can perform the functions of the left prime minister.
For such a small matter, Hu Weiyong approved it after reviewing it.
Then he found a scribe, wrote several documents, stamped them, and sent them to various states.
After Zheng Xiong realized his gaffe, he has been keeping a low profile in recent times.
If you don’t go out through the front door, you won’t take a step toward the second door.
At three o'clock every day, we go back and forth between the government office and home.
After taking the recovery and distribution of financial rights into his hands, he did not make any changes to other rights and let his subordinates handle it on their own.
I lived a life of letting go of the shopkeeper.
I see more and more money on my bills every day, and my life becomes easier.
Only with money can you have a foundation.
There is nothing that money can't solve, if not, then add more money.
Zheng Xiong also refined the financial power.
The government office is divided into two warehouses.
The tea project in partnership with Zhu Biao has made a lot of money. The risk is relatively small and it is stored separately.
Don't worry about the output of the 16th floor. There are many people who care about it, and Zheng Xiong doesn't dare to gamble with their ethics.
So it is also stored separately.
In this way, even if one is gone, the other one can make his life in the government office more comfortable.
Zheng Xiong distributed most of the income from the Jiaofang Division to the first construction and newly built canteen companies.
In addition to protecting their needs, it also spreads risks.
Make it less easy for others to take advantage of you.
Everything is going smoothly, and things are developing in the direction I expected.
Even on the enviable sixteenth floor, everything was calm and no one was looking for trouble.
Even the slightest hint of doubt was gone.
On this day, Zheng Xiong was lying dead in the government office.
Inside the room, there were several basins placed on all sides with ice cubes in them to prevent heatstroke and cool down.
Life was very comfortable.
"Boom, boom, boom."
"Come in."
The door opened and a stream of hot air came out.
The visitor gently closed the door, turned around, saluted Zheng Xiong and said.
"Master Hou, I have something to report."
"What's up?"
Zheng Xiong got up from the recliner, sat on the chair, and waited for Fu Cheng to explain.
"I shouldn't mention it, but I don't want to complain about it."
"If you shouldn't mention it, don't mention it."
Ugh, what a dog! If you don't give it a chance, you won't be able to fix it.
Fu Cheng said bravely.
"This is not just Xiaguan alone, there are also loud voices in the government office, so Xiaguan came here to ask for instructions."
Zheng Xiong's expression was as usual, interested.
"Tell me."
Fu Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly.
"As soon as Gein built the place, he won the favor of the Marquis. Not only did he build houses, but he also built a canteen to provide food. So the people below also hope that the Marquis can do the same in the government office."
The improvement of the corvee treatment still affects the whole body.
There is no backlash elsewhere, and even if there is, it's not a big deal. At most, I feel unbalanced, but I don't dare to confront it.
Still within the processing range.
Zheng Xiong didn't expect that his own family would start to make a fuss first.
He has such a thin skin, let alone an official within the system.
Also working under Zheng Xiong, there was a big gap in my heart.
It was still expected, Zheng Xiong also wanted to improve, so he replied.
"Go and calculate the manpower of the government office yourself. How big of a canteen should be built? What kind of food standards should be provided?"
"Let me take care of everything."
"When the time comes, take the budget and hand it to me for my seal. Then I will notify the First Construction and Canteen to prepare it, deduct the money from the government's account book, and send it to you."
"As for what it will cause and whether it conforms to your ideas, you only have this chance."
"It's all your choice, I will not interfere."
"Yes, Lord Marquis."
I thought it was a bad errand when I came here, but I didn't expect it to be so easy.
It's windy now when I walk.
Not long after, Fu Cheng came over with the budget.
A few hundred strings is nothing.
Zheng Xiong waved his hand and stamped it.
Let Fu Cheng take the money and send it to Yi Jianhe Pharmacy.
A house not far away was bought by Yijian.
After some renovation, it was used as the canteen of the government office.
Then the pharmacy's cafeteria moved in to completely solve the government's dining problem.
The entire process was completed in less than ten days.
Do you need something like this? No shortage.
To be precise, there is no shortage of officials.
Because if the salary is used for food, there will be no way to finish it.
Having enough food and housing does not mean that you can live a good life.
Who doesn’t want to live a comfortable life, it’s better to save a little bit.
One more ration can feed one more person.
In fact, there have always been work meals in ancient times.
During the Warring States Period, Lord Mengchang provided food and lodging for three thousand diners.
During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the free lunch system for officials at work also appeared at this time, which was called "Tang Cuisine", also known as "Langshan (Langfang Meal)". officials.
The standard of working meals for other officials depends on their rank.
Lao Zhu also has it, but only when he goes to court, and occasionally provides a lunch.
Others are to provide some subsidies to honest officials.
Later, due to lack of financial resources, they were all abolished.
The only local government canteen in the Song Dynasty was able to implement it relying on financial resources.
I don’t know if the government canteen built here by Zheng Xiong is a good thing or a bad thing.
