Chapter 15 Wang Yao's Happy Master's Life
The happiness of becoming a landlord of aristocratic families lasted for four hours and thirteen minutes in total. Well, it was about such a long time!
There was no way. At night, Wang Hou was awakened by the cold in the big house of his own city!
Cao Cao was pretty good to him. He had a five-entry mansion, more than thirty rooms and two large shops, and the specifications were comparable to those of the real thousand stone level officials. Moreover, the house was not empty, and the furniture inside was complete. However, this Han Dynasty furniture was really anti-human! The hard wooden bed and the three-sided screens on the bed did not have much warming effect. In this era, cotton cloth has not been promoted, Wanghou level is not enough, there is no fur, and there is no fur, and the clothes and quilts are covered with hemp. This thing is a pleasure to wear in summer to relieve heat, but it is a torment in winter.
The house is not very warm. Nowadays, Mr. Cao has been looking at bamboo slips. Although the selfless eunuch Cai Lun has simplified and extracted papermaking, like cotton, this thing has not been promoted. Glass is even a thousand years later. The one who blocks the windows for Wang Hou is actually a damn hemp cloth! Can this thing block the wind?
In the entire spacious room, the warmth comes from two copper braziers, with charcoal fires burning inside. However, Wang Hou was afraid of being smothered by this thing, so he placed it far away from the window. In this winter, such a big room is really unreasonable that he would not be frozen into a dog.
Now Wang Hou misses Cao Hong Festival very much. After a few days of snowfall, this girl has warmed him up anyway, and he is allowed to hold her to sleep in the tent. At least he can rely on each other's body temperature to keep warm. Now, he really understands what it means to be alone and sleepless. The room is colder than camping in the wild!
Call a female slave to warm the bed?
After holding the cold quilt for a long time, Wang Hou still strangled the tempting thought to death, shrinking into a ball, roaring sadly.
"I don't believe I can't sleep anymore!"
With a thud, he rolled up the quilt and wrapped his head tightly.
............
But sometimes it is impossible to believe in evil. Early the next morning, the sun just rose, and Wang Hou dragged his nose out of the house, and with dark circles, he quickly moved towards the sunlight.
"master!"
As early as he got up, it was Wang Fu, the old man Chen Deng gave to him. It was true that he had an old man with a treasure. Although Wang Hou was not here these days, the servants of the mansion were still in order under his arrangement. Two chefs and five cooks started cooking in the kitchen early. This time Chen Deng sent more than 100 ox carts to transport, and more than 200 oxen were given to Wang Hou. The nine grooms were busy feeding the animals. The remaining one was that there were a lot of snow sweeping, and more than 70 people were wandering around the house.
It was obvious that so many people were swaying in front of him. Wang Hou was a little confused, and Wang Fu was carefully holding his fists and reporting.
"Master, when you are not here, I can't be the master. There are indeed a lot of Dingkou in our mansion. Twenty of Wang E and the others can buy some looms and keep them weaving cloth and doing odd jobs in the mansion. Although Wang Ganzi and the others have no skills, they are better than being strong and strong. They can also be competent for being a servant guard for the master to run around and after. Blacksmith King Hammer, mudmachine Wang Mu, Wang Paste, carpenter Wang Bangmao and planter Wang Seed Lao Nu suggested staying. The mansion can be repaired and repaired, and the mansion can also be used by King Spoon Wang Lid, and the chefs can also use it. Add one fifty-three yuan. The mansion is enough to use it. The remaining masters can send them to the countryside to plow the fields for the master, or sell them in the market!"
Wang Fuzhen is called a professional housekeeper. He has planned it in the mansion, but the cruelty and ruthlessness of this era has allowed Wang Hou to understand it. A living person sold it as soon as he said it? Seeing the servants who were new servants in his mansion working hard to clean the snow, and at the same time, Wang Hou shook his head helplessly.
"Anyway, the Prime Minister gives me a lot of land, so don't sell it. You can buy what you said just now, and then take my land book outside the city to take it over. If it doesn't work in the mansion, let them go to the countryside to farm!"
Although farming is not as good as staying in the city, in this era of people who cannibalize people, if they are sold, they might starve to death. The remaining servants who are not under Wang Fu's plan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
However, after the arrangement, he palaola's fingers and had so many talent resources in his hand. Wang Hou became excited again, and tried hard to knock on his head. He once again hurriedly told Wang Fu: "By the way, are there any coal sellers in Xuchang market? Well, it seems that they are called charcoal. Is it for me to buy some for me? Don't we have bricklayers under us? Let them build a stove to burn some bricks for me. Oh, there is no cement in this era, what is the formula for cement?"
I used to be idle, either going around the world or going around the cold, but now it comes in handy. As Wang Fu's eyes were almost overwhelmed, Wang Hou knocked his head all over his head and recited a simple recipe I had seen before.
"Limestone, clay for burning bricks, and yes, there seems to be slag for iron smelting. I have made a few sacks for the master and grind it into noodles with stone mills. I'm useful!"
A lot of things made Wang Fu dizzy and sweat rolling on his forehead, afraid that he would forget one, so he nodded and kept muttering. Before he could walk out, Wang Hou, who suddenly sneezes, suddenly started to yell again with gritted teeth.
"By the way, chicken, duck, big geese! I will buy twenty or thirty of them for me, and I will freeze to death, Ah snee!"
.............
No wonder they all want to be an official. The treatment of officials in this era is quite good. Just go to work after the sun comes out at 9 o'clock. I will first manage my home for the morning at home. It was about 8:40. Wang Hou then sat in a big wheel carriage surrounded by Wang Ganzi and several servants, and wandered all the way to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Although I was frozen all night, my mood was completely different from today. In front of the Prime Minister's Mansion decorated with two strange statues, Wang Hou was in a happy mood and hummed into the house. He was led by the eunuch who guided him yesterday and took him to the office of the Prime Minister's Twelve Caos.
In fact, in terms of grade, his warehouse was just a small official. For hundreds of years of the Han Dynasty, the central court managed the official warehouse, and they were all managed by the Taicang Orders under the command of the Grand Secretary, the Taicang Chief and the military officer, the Master of the Martial Officer, the Master of the Sui School. But now in the chaotic times of the late Han Dynasty, after Emperor Xian of Han fled east, the power of the two dukes and nine ministers was all emptied by Cao Cao. His new official also rose with the flow. The money and valleys in Yanzhou and Yuzhou under Cao Cao were all under his management. In the Ming Dynasty, it was equivalent to one-third of the Minister of Revenue.
There were also many people under his command. As soon as he entered the door, Kurasuo, who had the same official position as him before, respectfully clasped his fists: "Greetings to Cang Cao Ling!"
This respect is respect, but few people are truly sincere. The warehouse cattle have only been established this year. How many grain officials are working hard on this end, but they never expected that they fell on Wang Hou, a famous corrupt official. Several warehouse rafters with origins are obviously jealous. Wang Houxin, who has never done it before, has no managers. This team is not easy to lead.
However, there are also people who know how to be human. After a few greetings from the unnutrition, each official returned to his position. A fat guy who looked like a big rat in the official warehouse was a scammer and then he got on.
"I have seen the Warehouse, and I am the old county. I have long admired the name of the Lord. Although the Warehouse is not talented, I have been working in this Warehouse for a while. If I have any needs, I will just give it to the Warehouse!"
"Oh, transfer all the accounts of each warehouse in Taicang to my official, and then prepare for it. I will inspect Taicang in the afternoon!"
This passage made all the grain officials in the warehouse office tremble slightly, even if Yu Bing was in front of him, the stiffness and hostility in the air were stronger, but Wang Hou ignored the matter and turned around and entered his signing room.
In fact, he also knew that when he was just a first time, he would follow the military ration officer behind Cao Cao to the newly established warehouse system, and should have a good relationship with his subordinates first, otherwise no one would praise you, and you would be useless if you were a commander.
However, it depends on who is under his command. In recent years, wars are frequent. As the saying goes, the troops and horses will move forward before they move their food. If the next military battle is complete, his warehouse is not well calculated and he cannot get out the food. Once Mr. Cao gets angry, he will still lose his head!
There were not many people in Guan Cang who had clean butts. He checked it up and obviously offended people. However, for his own head, he didn't care whether to offend or not. He could only count the things in front of him and report a clear account book to Cao Cao. Before, he embezzled someone and himself.
However, Wang Hou still underestimated the difficulty of clearing the warehouse. While he was sitting in the signing room and fiddling with the official seal, heavy footsteps outside suddenly came, and the door creaked and was pushed open. Six strongmen carried three bamboo slips weighing hundreds of pounds and came in and placed them on the ground.
It was obvious that several grain officials outside showed gloating smiles, and their faces were slightly slapped. Yu Bing forced a respectful bow: "Sir, the account books for Taicang's income and expenditure inventory are all here, please read them!"
Looking at the dusty bamboo slips, Wang Hou almost cried.
.............
In the atrium of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he sat on the stone pier that had just been cleared with a sad look on his face. While Wang Hou was waiting with gritted teeth, Cao Hongjie ran out with great enthusiasm.
"What are you looking for me?"
I really don’t know why Mr. Cao chose such a tomboy as a girlfriend. She didn’t see her for a day. After all, she was not wearing armor, and she could be dressed in a samurai men’s outfit, which was very charming. However, even if she was wearing a bikini winter swimming now, Wang Hou was not in the mood to see it. The first fire in the new official’s office was stuck in his hand. Although he was not worried about it, the sense of crisis made Wang Hou still work hard to keep his head! He directly stuffed his plan into Cao Hongjie’s hand.
"help!"
"Hey, you are in charge of the warehouse, why do you want me to help?"
"Catch the mouse and you will get the credit. Let me write a letter. General Cao Hongjie will help! I will treat you to a meal after the matter!"
This girl is definitely a slave. When she heard that she had made merit, she immediately smiled at her little head.
"make a deal!"
