Good Wife

Author: sum of both sides

Fen Ye couldn't believe that such a gentle young master would send her a dog-feeding job, "No, no, the young master must be joking. He wouldn't do this to me."

The fat has healed, and the coat is visibly black and shiny, like a dead tree that has regained its vitality.

It was squatting under the tree, so tall and powerful that Fenye shivered in fear and did not dare to step forward.

"I want to see the eldest young master, get out of the way, I want to see the eldest young master." Unwillingly, Fenye clamored to see Wen Xizhou, but Wen Xizhou had already told him, so where could she see Wen Xizhou?

Let alone meeting people, she couldn't even get close to the main house. She made a fuss for a long time, but she didn't see Wen Xizhou, and Lu Sheng came over instead.

Lu Sheng looked Fenye up and down and sneered twice, "What are you making a fuss about? I wonder if the young master is reading a book? If you miss the young master's scientific examination, you won't be able to afford the compensation if I get him killed."

Fenye shrank, "Slave, I just want to see the young master."

Lu Sheng's face darkened, "Which card are you on? Do you want to see the young master whenever you want? I said you are such a maid and you have no rules. I have assigned you errands. If you don't do them, why do you still want to see me?"

Picking and choosing?”

Fen Ye's face turned pale, "No, no, that, that dog..." She was obviously here to serve the young master personally, not to feed the dog!

"Why, look down on, look down on? What kind of dog is not a dog? That's Master Gou! In this yard, Master Gou is the eldest, Master Gou is the second, and I am the third. Master asked you to take care of Master Gou, that's

I respect you." Lu Sheng rolled his eyes, looking carefree.

Yu Zhi: That’s wrong, Mr. Gou is the eldest, and your young master is the second. After all, Mr. Gou is the fat one, and your young master is the second fat one.

Fen Ye was deeply shocked and took two steps back. Lu Sheng glanced at her and continued: "Afraid of dogs? Tell me earlier! Aren't you delaying things? Wait." Turned around and walked towards the study.

Fen Ye's face was filled with joy, and her eyes followed Lu Sheng expectantly. She raised her feet to follow him, but she was also wary of the big dog under the tree.

Lu Sheng came back soon. He met those expectant eyes first. He sneered and said, "Can you do needlework?"

Could it be that the young master wanted her to sew clothes? Fenye's eyes lit up and she nodded repeatedly.

"Then you will be responsible for making purses, handkerchiefs, and fan cases. In one month..." Lu Sheng thought for a moment, "make twenty purses, twenty handkerchiefs, and ten fan cases."

"Let's set it like this for now, then look back and see how much she can do in a month, and then set a new number for her.

He also told me: "I usually work in the house and don't come out, otherwise I will be bitten by the dog. Don't blame others."

Fen Ye glanced at the big dog, her face turned pale again, but she couldn't help but argue, "This slave is here to serve the young master."

"Oh, what a big ambition! You even dare to steal the young master's job! You go to serve the young master, what will the young master do? You are not a big girl, but you have a big heart." Lu Sheng hugged his arms and nodded his legs,

Although you are younger than others, it is interesting to say that others are younger, "Master, I am taking care of you, so you don't have to worry about it. Master is kind-hearted and allows you to change your job. Don't be dissatisfied. Go back to your room and do some sewing."

Seeing that she was still reluctant, he threatened again, "We don't keep any disobedient maids in our yard. I will send them to Mrs. Hou later."

Fenye didn't want to be pushed back, so she could only go back to the room three times. Looking at her dawdling back, Lu Sheng sneered: Who dares to get in front of the young master? She can't even think about it as long as Mr. Lu is here.

Succeeded.

Wen Jiuxiao rested for three days in a row before recovering from his illness. In the past few days when he was away, many people openly and secretly went to the Ministry of Household Affairs to ask: Is Mr. Wen Shangshu here today?

Sorry, Xiaowen Shangshu didn't come today.

Even several senior ministers in the cabinet joined in the secret poking and eating melons, showing a particularly strange state.

Wen Jiuxiao was not idle in the house. Under Yu Zhi's guidance, he was busy drawing statistical data in tables. He had only just scratched the surface when he joined the Household Department. If he wanted to truly take charge of the Household Department,

Taxes, expenditures, household registration, fields and so on over the years, not only must be thoroughly understood, but also must be understood by heart.

When he first entered Dali Temple, he read through all the cases. Although the household department was more complicated, Wen Jiuxiao was confident! Although he brought Zhuo Zhengyang with him as a confidant, Yu Xiaozhi privately lent him a

The entire team is all good at accounting.

At this time, Yu Zhi misses her computer very much. With a pull of the mouse, the sum is calculated. With a few clicks of the mouse, you can view the report for any year you want. It is convenient and fast. You have to go through the hand-drawn tables one by one.

Filling in the data above is too troublesome.

"Is your salary going to be paid soon?" Yu Zhi suddenly raised his head.

Wen Jiuxiao was startled. Although he didn't understand what she meant, he still nodded sincerely.

Yu Zhi laughed and said, "Didn't you say that some people are causing trouble for you? Let's not pay this month's salary for now. It's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. No matter how capable you are, you can't turn stone into gold, can you?" She laughed.

Especially malicious.

Wen Jiuxiao also laughed. He liked Yu Xiaozhi's bad idea. No matter whether it worked or not, Yu Xiaozhi was just trying to vent his anger.

"There is still money for the Ministry of Household Affairs to pay salaries." After collecting so much fine money, the ministers were watching.

"Don't you know how to spend it? In such a big country, everything needs money. Has the military salary been allocated? Has the disaster relief money been allocated? Farming and mulberry are the foundation of the country, shouldn't it be more focused? There are also river embankments and water conservancy, no.

Do they all need to be repaired?”

Wen Jiuxiao was silent for a while, "Not enough." The little money in the treasury was simply not enough, and the gap was huge.

"What we are talking about now is about the salary payment. If you get the money urgently, spend the money from the treasury in advance. If there is no money, you won't be able to pay the salary?" Yu Zhi said, and then added, "Oh, it won't work if you don't pay it at all.

, those poor and petty officials still have to make a living. Let’s start with those poor officials who live by their salaries. The rhetoric is ready: first, they live in poverty, and second, their salaries are small and the Ministry of Household Affairs can afford them.”

She looked at Wen Jiuxiao and said, "As for the other people, they don't expect to live with their salaries anyway. What's wrong with waiting? There is no money in the national treasury. As a minister, isn't it the right thing to share the worries of the country and the king? It's not like we won't pay them.

Yes, the Ministry of Accounts will issue an IOU, etc..."

Speaking of this, Yu Zhi suddenly remembered something, "Didn't it say that many ministers borrowed money from the Ministry of Household Affairs?"

"That's true." Wen Jiuxiao nodded, "The longest it's been twenty years."

"Isn't it difficult to collect these debts?" Yu Zhi asked.

Wen Jiuxiao continued to nod. These debts totaled hundreds of thousands of taels. He had also thought about collecting debts, but after thinking about it, he gave up. There were too many ministers who borrowed debts, including ordinary ministers, royal families, and nobles.

There are also aristocratic families, and many of them are in high positions, so it’s hard to ask for them!

"What are you asking for? Don't go to all that trouble. Just deduct it from their salary. The poor will deduct part of it every month, and those who are not short of money will deduct it all. When the debt is enough, it will be deducted. The money is here

Whoever is in the pocket is in charge, right?" Yu Zhi winked at Wen Jiuxiao.

The person who borrowed the money is an uncle. He obviously has money in his hand but won't pay it back to you. What can you do to him?

But I am in charge of the salary. If you don’t pay it back, I will take it away. The money is in my hands and I have the final say.

This is really a good idea!

Wen Jiuxiao's eyes lit up. If the operation was good, all the debts lent by the Ministry of Accounts would be returned.

"Madam is really a good wife for her husband." Wen Jiuxiao was overjoyed.

He couldn't wait to see their shocked faces!
