After the Second Colonel Niu Ma left, they received Kanhe again and took the time to return to Beijing. In their eyes, a new frontier city like Yulin was nothing worth remembering.
But they still felt a little guilty about Fang Yingwu. They always felt that it was a bit irresponsible to leave Fang Yingwu in a place like a warehouse. After returning home, if an adult in the court asked, it would be difficult to explain.
It was Fang Yingwu who comforted the two of them, "Don't worry, you two. This is just a temporary place to stay. Now that there are no scholars serving as officials in the city, it is inevitable that you will feel a little aggrieved. When the new governor takes office, I will be like this
Talents will naturally have their day!"
The Sun family's father and daughter who were traveling with her also left. Originally, Fang Yingwu had made plans for Miss Sun, such as keeping her in the name of studying.
But he didn't expect that he was in such a miserable situation, and he relied on Sun Jing's face to find a place to stay, so why did he have the shame to attack Miss Sun?
While Fang Yingwu was feeling sad, Mrs. Sun secretly told Fang Yingwu that she and her father were responsible for delivering materials paid by the hometown, and they had to go to Yulin twice a year. Once for summer tax cloth, and once for autumn grain and grass, so they arrived
We will meet again in the fall.
After sending away the familiar people, Fang Yingwu officially started working in Guangyouku.
There are several warehouses under the Chief Branch. The Guangyou warehouse stores various grains and grasses, and the Fushang warehouse stores silver. As for the Guangyou warehouse where Fang Yingwu is located, it stores goods sent from various places.
For cloth, salt, paint, and wood, it can be compared to a grocery store compared to other warehouses.
Fang Yingwu's work was very boring. Ambassador Sun told him that he had entered a certain number of things, and he would record them in his account book. Ambassador Sun told him that he had produced a certain number of things, and he would still record them in his account book.
Then, the accounts will be taken every half a month. A number will be calculated for each item, and then reported to Ambassador Sun on New Year's Day.
Handling supplies is such a wonderful job. It is impossible to deal with it. All he can handle are account books and figures.
He lives next to the warehouse, and the house is only about the size of a palm. It is smaller and more dilapidated than the old house in Shanghuaxi Village, Chun'an County.
This is because I am a scholar and I need space for my work to do some calculations, so I can be given the treatment of a single room. Otherwise, I am afraid that I will be crowded with a group of Kudins and sleep in a large dormitory.
As for the food, the best ones are wild vegetable dumplings and the worst ones are steamed buns. When the food is good, it’s rice porridge or vegetable soup that’s not oily. When it’s bad, it’s sweet and delicious spring water.
These days, Fang Yingwu felt even more miserable than when he first crossed over. It was simply the lowest point in his life. He could only sigh: After years of hard work, he returned to the pre-liberation period overnight!
But Fang Yingwu is not desperate. In this Yulin City, which has no school and is like a cultural desert, he has a background and academic qualifications. If he can't get ahead, he might as well find a piece of tofu and kill him.
I just have to wait for the opportunity, at least until the new governor takes office, so that scholars and scholars can speak a common language.
In the blink of an eye, summer turns to autumn, July is gone, and August is here. For warehouses, one of the two busiest times of the year is the end of the summer harvest.
There seemed to be nothing going on that day. Fang Yingwu was bored and flipping through a torn book with only dozens of pages left. In a place like this, it would be good to find something with words.
Suddenly, a figure flashed. Someone came in. Fang Yingwu looked up. It was Ambassador Sun Linsun. Fang Yingwu put down the remaining book and stood up to greet him.
From Fang Da's perspective, the role of warehouse ambassador, who is mostly a junior official, cannot be discerned by him. However, the situation is stronger than others, and he still has to rely on this job to earn a living. You won't starve to death before you get ahead.
In Guangyoucang, Ambassador Sun was the number one person, and Fang Yingwu, who was fighting for five buckets of rice, had no choice but to suffer.
Ambassador Sun came in with his hands behind his back and asked calmly: "Brother Fang, can you compose poetry?"
Fang Yingwu replied: "Yes." As a time-traveler who uses copying poems as a golden finger, how could Fang Yingwu say that he couldn't? It's just that he didn't understand why Ambassador Sun asked about this.
Ambassador Sun then ordered: "Now that the busy summer harvest period has passed, several warehouses under the Administrative Affairs Branch are doing well and there are no mistakes.
Mr. Xiao Shen was very happy and rewarded two sheep and five jars of wine. We plan to have some fun together in the warehouses. The time is tomorrow, so you can follow me."
Mr. Xiao Shen? He is probably the counselor in charge of this administrative branch, commonly known as Xiao Shen. Fang Yingwu responded, "Yes, thank you, sir."
Ambassador Sun looked at Fang Yingwu's calm demeanor and felt very depressed. There was wine and meat, didn't this young man know how to be excited and happy? In the bitter place of the frontier, it was not easy to eat wine and meat!
To be honest, Ambassador Sun Linsun didn't have much expectations for Fang Yingwu before, he just treated him as an ordinary person.
In border areas, it is a common thing to accept people who have been dispatched. This is also the reason why Ambassador Sun was careless when accepting the request. Otherwise, he should at least carefully read the official documents of the guard station, instead of just listening to a few acquaintances. After a brief introduction, a reply letter was issued.
But Ambassador Sun did not expect that this little brother was very neat and quick in doing things and doing calculations, and almost never made any mistakes. No matter how complicated the matter was, he could quickly produce results in three strokes, five divisions, and two divisions.
In Yulin, a newly built city and a border town like a large military camp, talents are scarce, there are few people who can read, and even fewer people who can read and do arithmetic.
In the past, no matter who sat in Fang Yingwu's position, not only the calculation speed was slow, but also mistakes were made from time to time.
Therefore, Ambassador Sun had to devote a large part of his energy to approving and correcting the accounts. This was a very troublesome and redundant task for him, but he had to do it, otherwise he would not be able to rest assured.
Since Fang Yingwu arrived, Ambassador Sun has indeed felt much more relaxed and at ease, as if a person who had been suffocating in water suddenly emerged from the water and took a few deep breaths of air.
Moreover, Fang should have a certain degree of advance and retreat, what should and should not be said, what should and should not be asked, all just right.
But there was something about this little guy that made Ambassador Sun very depressed. His demeanor was always calm and calm, and he always looked like he was going about his errands.
He can complete the work very conscientiously and in a timely manner, so that others can't find any faults, but it seems that there is no trace of enthusiasm in him.
For example, Fang Yingwu never takes the initiative to think of ways to take advantage of others. This is the biggest sign of indifference! Among the people in charge of the warehouse, from Kuding to petty officials to ambassadors, who doesn’t want to find ways to get some advantage within the rules?
But Fang Yingwu never did. It would be excusable if it was because he was a newcomer and unfamiliar with him. However, Ambassador Sun hinted several times that Fang Yingwu could do something, but there was no response every time.
In the eyes of Ambassador Sun, this is definitely a sign that young people are too ambitious, not down-to-earth, and uneasy about the grassroots.
This should be a once-in-a-decade talent! Ambassador Sun suddenly felt that the most urgent task at the moment was how to stabilize Fang Yingwu and give himself peace of mind.
Give him a name that satisfies his vanity? Or find him a woman to start a family with? Ambassador Sun couldn't make up his mind at the moment.
ps: I have thrown away my work and am looking for writing status. Please give me strength, Ciri!
