"Thirty-three errors, the difference between income and expenditure is one hundred thirty-seven thousand six hundred and fifty-three cents."

Fan Zheng stopped his abacus, recorded the errors one by one, checked again, and checked again. The sound of the abacus beads echoed again, much faster than before.

After having a cup of tea, Fan Zheng stopped his calculations and said, "It's correct."

"Here, thirty-three guans and five hundred yen were spent, and the corresponding seven items were only 30 guan and 500 yen. Here, 81 guan and 500 yen were spent, and the actual items were 18 guan. This is the largest amount of fallacy.

…”

Li Yifu was stunned when he pointed out the fallacies one by one, all of which were well-founded.

He knew that there must be problems in Wugong County, and he could find one or two loopholes, but he couldn't be like Fan Zheng, who would not let go of even three to five cents of money.

The key is that the data is detailed and can be clearly understood by laymen.

Thirty-three places!

Martial arts order, you little melon, waiting for me to kill you!

It belongs to me!

Li Yifu wrote the impeachment memorial in one go. The neat handwriting put Fan Zheng to shame. The writing was so talented that even Liu Fan nodded slightly.

Normally, Li Yifu started his career. It was because his article was appreciated by Li Daliang that he was recommended as the minister of ceremony under the ninth grade lower sect. He was responsible for giving praises, roll calls, and guiding the classes.

After finishing writing, Li Yifu signed and stamped his name, then turned to look at Fan Zheng, with an indescribably kind smile: "Brother Fan is responsible for this inspection, so please sign and take credit."

If it had been anyone else, Fan Zheng would have done the job.

Li Mao has a knife in his smile. Although he has not lost his bottom line, Fan Zheng still doesn't want to share the credit.

"Brother Li is kind and understanding, but I haven't received the steel seal yet. Let's forget it this time. I will definitely not let it go next time."

After some evasion, everyone said hello to me, and everyone in the procuratorate was enjoying themselves.

I think the joy of coming to Li Yifu should be real joy. After all, Fan Zheng worked hard and did not take the credit.

Good man!

At this time, Li Yifu was not qualified to be arrogant, so of course not all the people he met were good people.

Like before, Liu Fan blocked Li Yifu's impeachment for a legitimate reason, but Li Mao didn't believe it if he didn't mean to show off to Li Yifu.

Comparing the two, isn't it clear at a glance who is close and who is distant?

"I'm ashamed of myself as a brother. By the way, you haven't received the steel seal yet. I'll take you to the Department of Etiquette to get it later."

Li Yifu has already begun to call himself brother and sister.

The supervisors respectfully watched Fan Zheng and Li Yifu leave the office, and their tense bodies finally relaxed.

"Why are you so nervous?" Liu Fan frowned.

An inspector general sighed: "Shangguan doesn't understand. With this Shangguan, we are just like the children who were just learning. He is the teacher who wields the bamboo whip. The rules cannot be broken!"

It’s really hard to say this. Each industry has its own potential rules. Pragmatic industries have many rules. The general point is: those who have mastered it are teachers.

…

There are still benefits to being on good terms with Li Yifu.

At least, Li Yifu explained trivial matters such as the midnight time and the time to retire from the Yamen.

As the name suggests, you must arrive at the Yamen at Mao hour, that is, from five to seven in the morning, you have to rush to the Yamen.

As for saying it's three o'clock in the morning, that's nonsense. The gates of each workshop are only opened at five o'clock, which means the gates open at five o'clock.

At three o'clock, why don't you climb the wall and get out?

Isn’t it inhumane?

So, let’s get a little more humane.

The "Old Book of Tang" records that all officials, both internal and external, would handle affairs at sunrise, and they could leave the Yamen and go home at noon, and the officials on duty would take over the affairs.

Just asking you if you feel good!

The salary of an eighth-grade official is not much, only 200 coins per year for 19 years.

However, Fan Zheng changed from a casual official to a full-time official, and his annual salary was equivalent to sixty-four and a half dan of grain.

Salary is a subsidy for food and cooking supplies in addition to salary. Are you greedy?

Based on the market price of 20 cents per stone, it is only 0,290 cents, which is roughly equivalent to a food subsidy.

The income from the two hundred and fifty acres of farmland will be managed by the imperial court and will be handed over directly to your hands when the time comes. Isn't that considerate?

Seven thousand and five hundred coins of sex labor money will be used to appropriately subsidize the white men recruited as sex laborers.

As for the recruitment of sex servants to miscellaneous households, they are not paid, and the officials can accept it themselves.

A day of rest is the real welfare for officials.

In the Yuanzheng period, there are seven days of holiday on each winter solstice, four days of cold food, four days of Qingming, August 15, and three days of summer solstice and December.

The seventh day of the first month, the fifteenth day of the first month, Chuhui Day (the last day of the first month), the Second Society of Spring and Autumn Period, February 8th, March 3rd, April 8th, May 5th, Dog Day, July 7th,

On July 15th, September 9th, October 1st, the Beginning of Spring, the Vernal Equinox, the Beginning of Autumn, the Beginning of Autumn, the Beginning of Summer, and the Beginning of Winter, one day off will be given for each tenth day.

Farm leave is given in May, and clothing granting leave is given in September, twice, each of fifteen days.

Private temples are given five days of leave each, and four days are given for the four o'clock festivals.

If the parents are three thousand miles away, they will be given thirty-five days of provincial (parental) leave every three years; if they are five hundred miles away, they will be given fifteen days of consolation leave every five years, not counting the distance traveled.

For the crown ceremony (20 years old), three days are given; for the five-year-old crown ceremony, one day off is given, including the distance.

The wedding lasted nine days, excluding the journey.

That's not all.

Have you ever been so envious that your eyes turned blue?

The examinations conducted by the Ministry of Civil Service every year are also quite strict. According to the regulations of the Four Virtues and the Twenty-Seven Best, those below the middle level are in danger. From the top to the bottom, the fate is basically dismissal or even imprisonment.

However, this kind of treatment, even if the requirements are harsh, some people will still get in!

More than three hundred years later in the Southern Han Dynasty, there were still people who practiced the Sunflower Book of Swordsmanship before becoming an official.

Of course, there are also disadvantages: being late and missing the mark will result in twenty canings; being on duty all night and being out of value all night will result in thirty whippings.

Li Yifu rambled on, fearing that he might have missed something and missed something about his "virtuous brother".

It's no wonder that Li Yifu is nervous. In a place full of rejection, it's hard to find someone with good intentions. The key point is that this person is really capable of helping him. How can he not care?

Wai Lang, a member of the Department of Etiquette, did not hesitate, but his aloof and indifferent demeanor was really uncomfortable.

However, in the eyes of others who are senior officials of the eighth rank, they are not ranked highly in the eyes of foreign ministers who are senior officials of the sixth rank.

After leaving the Ministry of Rites, Li Yifu muttered: "He'd better pray that he doesn't fall into my hands."

Turning his head, Li Yifu said with a smile: "My dear brother, it is best to recruit people who know the basics and arrange the daily life of the donkeys and horses, otherwise the appointment will be delayed and there will be a lot of trouble."

Needless to say, this sentence touched Fan Zheng's pain point.

It took less than an hour to ride a donkey from Dunhuafang to the Imperial City, but it also meant that Fan Zheng had to go out as soon as the gate of the square opened.

The welfare provided by the various government offices in the Imperial City is really good. Even if he returns to the office in the afternoon, the Imperial City will still provide him with the lunch meal as it is, which makes Fan Zheng's mouth water.

The food in the imperial city may not necessarily taste the best, but the ingredients must be the best, and the quality will not be lower than that in the palace.

I wish you all peace and beauty.

Another note: This chapter may have introduced a little more about officials’ holidays. I just wanted to show it more completely. I didn’t notice that there were too many words. I’m sorry.
Chapter completed!
