Facts have proved that with one stick of incense, three-quarters of the more than twenty officials were calculated. The figures were all correct. The monthly salary of more than a thousand officials in the six ministries was all calculated.
Wei Changfeng's mouth never closed and his eyes were dull.
The dullness soon turned into a look of ecstasy.
This efficiency can be said to have been improved geometrically.
Chu Qing curled his lips to accept the "answer". Although it was the correct answer, he was still not satisfied and cursed.
Glancing at the six household officials who were still scratching their heads, Chu Qing, not surprisingly, cursed loudly.
"Two hours, two whole hours, I haven't learned a thing, so you are the only officials, officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs. You bought your official positions from the small advertisements on the telephone poles. God has spread wisdom to the world, you Are you holding an umbrella or wearing a raincoat? Ah, everyone else is learning arithmetic. Are you hiding in the sewers and practicing with the Ninja Turtles to waste gas? You are a waste, a loser, a bunch of..."
Chu Qing was furious: "Tell me, who are you!"
The officials who figured out the answer shouted in unison: "We are the officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs who are in charge of the world's money and food!"
Chu Qing pointed to the people who had not figured out the answer: "Tell me, who are you."
Several officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs lowered their heads: "We are shit-eating Arale."
They didn't know who Arale was, but that's what Chu Qing had just scolded. Whoever couldn't be counted was Arale. Anyway, he was trying his best to undermine their self-confidence, undermine their dignity, and tease their IQs.
"Okay, since it's Arale, then don't..."
Before he finished scolding, Wei Changfeng suddenly shouted.
"Good nephew!" After saying "good nephew!" Wei Changfeng grabbed Chu Qing's arm as enthusiastically as if he had something to say.
"My dear nephew, you are tired. You are tired. Come in quickly. Come in, have a sip of tea and rest for a while."
Chu Qing still changed his face at the speed of light and bowed quickly: "Uncle Shi, you are too polite. Come in, my nephew will make you a cup of tea first. There is no need to get angry with these trash. "
Chu Qing knew very well that as long as he hugged one thigh, as long as he held Wei Changfeng's thick leg firmly at the door, no one else would have to look at him.
In everything, you must be on par with your leaders. Why did Wei Changfeng come to him? Isn’t it because all the subordinate officials are just losers? Why did Wei Changfeng come to him to teach arithmetic? Isn’t it just to enlighten these people? Since even Wei Changfeng has If he doesn't look down on these losers, why should he be nice and just complain? This is what Wei Changfeng did to find him.
The two of them just helped each other into the main hall, one smiling sweeter than the other.
There was more than one Wei Changfeng who went to court, and there were more than a dozen officials of fifth rank and above. The people watching from the side were in the mist, and when they saw Wei Changfeng entering the room, they acted like the subordinate officials were trying to find out about Chu Qing. road.
Everyone was talking about it, saying that Chu Qing was a really capable person, but he didn't have a very good temper, and mainly because of his poor qualities, but they definitely admired him.
But after all that, Chu Qing's "background" is still not clear.
On the other hand, Qiu Wanshan, the right servant who received four big mouths in the Chu Mansion yesterday, did not say a word.
He knew Chu Qing's background.
To be precise, Chu Qing didn't have any background. His father was the left minister of the Ministry of Industry. Now he is an official in Beijing and he is afraid to avoid him.
But he couldn't say it, and he didn't dare to say it, because if he did, he might face twice as many problems and double his big mouth.
Because he knew very well that it no longer mattered whether Chu Qing had a background or not. From today on, Wei Changfeng was this kid's background.
Looking past the crowd and looking at Chu Qing in the main hall, Qiu Wanshan decided to keep his tail between his legs.
Because he could see that this kid was not a good person!
Yesterday when I was in the Chu Mansion, I had to give myself two slaps in front of the Minister. This showed no mercy at all. It’s better not to mess with such people. They don’t follow the routine. They usually do it to achieve their goals. The unscrupulous master.
Besides, in the main hall, Chief Wei was so happy that he was sitting on a stool. He was called Tian Sai Mi.
He knew that Chu Qing was capable, but he never expected that Chu Qing had such a "big" ability. In the last dynasty, a subordinate official could actually calculate the salary of more than a thousand officials in six departments using the core of a stick of incense. If he had not seen it with his own eyes, See, if anyone brags to him like this, he would have yelled at him.
"My nephew is indeed very talented." Wei Changfeng looked like he had found a treasure: "My household department is in need of talented people like you. I am thirsty for talents. I am thirsty for talents. Hahahaha."
Wei Changfeng let out a long laugh like a firecracker.
Chu Qing's face was full of shyness.
It's not that I have great talent, it's that your subordinates are all mentally retarded.
"Young Master Chu has such talent and learning, I should have included you in the Ministry of Household Affairs a long time ago." Wei Changfeng said with emotion: "Your Chu family has a long history of learning, but how come your father became the minister of the Ministry of Works? If You and your son have joined the Household Department at the same time, which makes me even more powerful."
Chu Qing was embarrassed to speak.
The family background is that my father has to count on his fingers any number that exceeds single digits.
But Chu Qing couldn't tell.
Knowledge must always have a provenance. If someone is truly self-taught, he is not a genius, but a monster. When treating monsters, people will not praise them, but will reject them, envy them, and even praise them.
With the same head and two hands, why can you be self-taught? Why do we have to study hard for decades? It’s unfair. Since it’s unfair, you are an alien. If you are an alien, you are not allowed to exist. This It’s human nature, human nature.
"That's good. It's an unexpected blessing for me to have a nephew in my household."
After pondering for a moment, Wei Changfeng said with some emotion: "Arithmetic is a subject that is difficult to understand. All the famous Confucian scholars who are really familiar with this subject do not teach this knowledge to outsiders..."
Looking at Chu Qing, Wei Changfeng had two words on his face - extremely satisfied!
He asked Chu Qing to come mainly to verify a few accounts. This kind of thing would definitely be too busy for one person, so he was looking for a few people to help him. Only then did he learn about Chen Yan. He didn't want to learn any "formula". Just understand what the plus and minus signs mean.
In the end, Chu Qing was lucky. There was no foreplay and he went straight to the point. Instead of teaching people how to fish, he directly taught people how to fish. It can be said that Wei Changfeng was both surprised and surprised.
How could this not make Wei Changfeng sigh with emotion? Knowledge is the foundation of a life. Who would teach it to others easily, let alone teach it to dozens of people at once? Such high moral integrity and such a big heart are rare in the world. Of course, not It is ruled out that the brain is more or less seriously ill.
Of course, Chu Qing didn't expect this at all. In their "hometown", there was nine years of compulsory education for learning. The teacher pulled your ears and asked you to learn, but many people were unwilling to learn.
With a serious look on his face, Wei Changfeng said: "Tell me about your Chu family's affairs and your father's affairs."
Chu Qing's expression was greatly moved, and he suddenly understood.
Yesterday in the Chu Mansion, although Wei Changfeng asked him to come to the Ministry of Revenue, he didn't mention anything about his father, which was obviously a reservation. But now, he took the initiative to mention it, and the change in attitude naturally meant many things.
Chu Qing no longer dared to smile playfully, gave a salute, and said loudly: "The boy also knows something unknown. He just heard that my father said that the officials of the Ministry of Works were to be replaced. The current emperor is extremely dissatisfied with the officials of the Ministry of Works, and my father's official position is not guaranteed. This led to The government is miserable every day. It’s not just that the official position is not guaranteed. The main reason is that my father is worried that after he is deprived of his official position, someone will wipe out the roots and kill my father with a stick... The Chu family will be completely beaten to death. After all, it is above the officialdom..."
Looking up at Wei Changfeng's face, Chu Qing continued: "You are the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. You must understand these things in the officialdom. It would be fine if you just resign and return to your hometown, but if you are dismissed from office, you will be a common people, and we The Chu family are all members of the capital, and the property and fields under their name..."
Don't say much, just click. Chu Qing believes that Wei Changfeng understands what he means.
"I understand." Wei Changfeng stared at Chu Qing and asked, "I ask you, and you have to answer truthfully. Is your father, Chu Wensheng, guilty of corruption?"
"No."
"Is there such a thing as disregarding human life?"
"No."
"Is there any cheating or robbery?"
"No."
"Is there anything to bully the people and harm the people?"
"No."
"Do you dare to guarantee?"
"dare!"
"Okay!" Wei Changfeng stood up suddenly and patted Chu Qing's shoulder gently: "From today on, you will be the eighth-rank minister of the Ministry of Husbandry. Tomorrow, I will order someone to go to the Ministry of Personnel to deliver a note. I will reply. Mansion, please tell your father Chu Wensheng to treat him with peace of mind. When I enter the palace in a few days, I will meet the emperor. If your father Chu Wensheng’s official reputation is as pure as you said, he can take the position of left minister with peace of mind."
"My dear Chu Qing, thank you sir!" Chu Qing saluted with excitement, "Chu Qing, on behalf of my father, thank you sir."
"Serving in the Ministry of Household Affairs means that you, the eighth-grade minister, are also studying and teaching. Don't be disturbed by outsiders. Just do it with your hands. Don't lose your original intention. If you can keep your original intention, you will cause trouble. , I will keep you safe."
"You dare to disobey me, boy."
Chu Qing, who was bent over, sighed silently.
Intention, misfortune, and thoroughness... I was eventually involved in the whirlpool of greed for money, taxes, and money, but it was still better than trying to get gas and knocking on the door.
Chu Qing, who had already resigned himself to his fate, did not realize at all that he was secretly happy. This happiness came from the fact that he could take care of the injustices in the world.
