There was a sudden silence in the hall. Before everyone's brains could realize what was going on, Pang Yu turned to face the county magistrate and bowed: "There are eleven disciples, each of them has six taels of labor and food silver, and the subtotal is sixty-six
Liang; there are twenty-seven Zao slaves, each of them has six taels of silver for work, food, and fodder, a subtotal of one hundred sixty-four taels; there are eleven horses, and each of his workers, food, and fodder has one sixteen taels of silver, a subtotal of
One hundred and eighty-four taels and eight qian; seventeen quick steps, each with 6 taels and 2 qian of work and food silver, a sub-total of 1,050 taels and qian; nineteen strong class members, each with 6 liang and three qian of work and food silver,
The subtotal is one hundred and nineteen taels; there are six lamp bearers, each with five taels of silver for work and food, a subtotal of thirty taels; there are nine bearers, each with five taels of silver for work and food, a subtotal of forty-seven taels.
Money, the items listed above total seven hundred and eighteen taels."
Pang Yu spoke as fast as a machine gun, and those who heard him didn't even have time to check the numbers he reported.
No matter the county magistrate, the officials or the government servants in the hall, everyone stared blankly at Pang Yu standing in the hall, as if they were looking at a monster.
No one knew whether the calculated numbers were correct or not, but Pang Yu recited Wang Dazhuang's original question almost word for word, showing his super memory, which is indeed unimaginable for people who have not trained their memory skills.
Everyone is waiting for the results of the household room. The hall is like a frozen shot, waiting for the referee's conclusion.
The clerk in charge of the abacus was sweating on his forehead. Under the prompts of his colleagues next to him, he continued to crackle a few times, then he breathed a long sigh of relief and faced the county magistrate's questioning gaze and said: "Your Excellency, there are seven in total.
One hundred and eighteen taels and three cents."
Finally, there was a roar in the hall, and it became noisy like a vegetable market opening. The county magistrate unconsciously fell back and leaned on the back of his chair.
Wang Dazhuang couldn't close his jaw for a long time, and he didn't even hear the county magistrate saying hello three times.
The county magistrate sat up straight again and turned to look at Wang Dazhuang, "Boss Wang, is Pang Yu wrong in his calculation of horse speed?"
Ma Kuai was the most complicated calculation. Wang Dazhuang started to just work out the questions. He never thought that he would have to do the mental calculation himself. At this time, he was in a panic and couldn't figure it out. He stammered, "This... subordinate hasn't calculated it yet."
Anticipating this, the county magistrate changed his face and said angrily, "The math problem you asked yourself has been solved by someone else. You haven't solved one of the calculations yet, so why do you ask others to do this kind of problem?"
Pang Yu is from your subordinates, so there is no reason to deliberately make things difficult for your subordinates."
"Subordinate..." The county magistrate interrupted Wang Dazhuang, "Pang Yu has already answered correctly, what else do you have to say!"
Wang Dazhuang's face turned red. He was knocked unconscious by Pang Yu's unexpected blow. It was clear that what the county magistrate had just said was very serious. Wang Dazhuang was so angry that he didn't realize it. He was still making the final resistance.
, "Everyone in the government office is your subordinates, so naturally they are all dispatched by you. However, although Pang Yu is very good at arithmetic, he is not well versed in writing and will miss your important affairs."
The county magistrate's face darkened. He also saw that the two had old grudges, but in today's situation, it was not just a matter between Wang Dazhuang and Pang Yu.
Pang Yu's flattery was reasonable and reasonable. The county magistrate was prepared to take advantage of this favorable situation to strengthen the justice of his punishment and to win over people's hearts with his wealth to make the officials and government officials move closer to him.
However, Wang Dazhuang ignored the county magistrate's hints and was determined to make Pang Yu look embarrassed.
If he is allowed to prove that Pang Yu is still a fool, then the effect of Pang Yu's great reasoning will be greatly reduced, and it may even become a joke, and the county magistrate's planned back-up plan will be in vain.
In the past, Wang Dazhuang had great respect for the county magistrate, and he was from the family of Zhao Sili, so the county magistrate never gave him any trouble.
But today, Wang Dazhuang turned a deaf ear to his hints several times, which made the county magistrate feel unhappy and his impression of him was greatly reduced. At this time, Wang Dazhuang wanted to stop him, which made the county magistrate furious and labeled him as someone who ignored the overall situation.
, If not for the sake of Secretary Zhao, Wang Dazhuang would have been dragged to the platform and slapped with dozens of boards.
As an assistant official, when would it be his turn to be opposed by the leader of the soap-making class? He asked coldly, "There are many people in the yamen who are illiterate. So what does leader Wang mean? They have been there all these years."
Are you all wrong about me?"
There are many people in the yamen who are vulgar and illiterate. How dare Wang Dazhuang offend so many people at once.
"No, I don't mean that. I mean..." Pang Yu didn't give Wang Dazhuang a chance to explain, and quickly added, "You're wrong, squad leader. Two days before I was injured, I was acting as a police officer.
I wrote dozens of words in front of you. You clearly know that the villain can write.
I have offended you before, and there was something wrong with me, but in front of the county magistrate, you cannot lie!"
"How dare you rant about this? You obviously can't even write your own name!"
Wang Dazhuang's eyes widened with anger and rage.
"Does the class leader want to take another test immediately to see if I am proficient in writing?"
"What do I have..." Wang Dazhuang was about to agree when he suddenly remembered what had just happened. He had never heard of Pang Yu being able to settle accounts before, so he was caught off guard. Making Pang Yu embarrassed became his own embarrassment. There was no guarantee that Pang Yu could not really write.
And what Pang Yucai said was actually digging a hole for himself. If Pang Yu really knew how to write after taking the exam, the county magistrate would definitely believe that he deliberately lied to stop him.
Yu's personal grudge, but Wang Dazhuang's personal grudge, deliberately trying to deceive Shangguan.
Thinking of this, Wang Dazhuang suddenly woke up. He raised his hands to the gloomy-looking county magistrate and said, "Your Excellency, it is clear that Pang Yu really worked hard and learned a lot. It was precisely because of the gathering of Tongcheng's spiritual energy in your presence.
It's time to ask your Excellency to arrange a more appropriate errand so as not to delay the talent."
Pang Yu sighed in his heart. He didn't say anything to save the sword, but instead aroused Wang Dazhuang's vigilance. It would be better to let Wang Dazhuang surround him to death.
It seems that Wang Dazhuang is not a fool. He can actually know how to advance and retreat when he is angry.
But in today's confrontation in front of the county magistrate, Wang Dazhuang had already made many mistakes, forming a bad impression in the county magistrate's mind and losing his prestige in front of everyone in the yamen. If he continued to strengthen this impression in the future, he would get twice the result with half the effort.
The county magistrate spoke politely to Wang Dazhuang, turned to Pang Yu and said in a slow tone, "Employ people to make the best use of their talents.
It's a pity that Pang Yu is such a talented person. He can write, calculate, and be sensible. However, after many years in the soap class, no one recognizes him. Fortunately, gold shines wherever it goes. Today, God finally opened his eyes. Now that I know that Pang Yu has
This talent cannot let the pearl be dusted."
Taking advantage of this power vacuum, he needed a lot of money to develop his own connections. The county magistrate tilted his head to his friend, and the two talked in a low voice. Mr. Yu bowed respectfully and replied, and inadvertently glanced at Pang Yu.
The conversation ended quickly. The county magistrate hesitated while stroking his beard. Mr. Yu lowered his head and said a few words in his ear. The county magistrate seemed to be moved. He nodded slightly and then said: "It will be August in a few days. Autumn grain."
The collection is about to begin, and all warehouses and warehouses must check the grain stored in the warehouse. This is an urgent matter in the county. Look, Mr. Zhao, he has always been the manager of the household. Who is the right person to send to handle this matter this year?"
Secretary Zhao is the official in charge of household affairs, that is, the director of finance and taxation in Tongcheng. He has been in office for several years, and his level is naturally much higher than that of Wang Dazhuang.
Even if Wang Dazhuang surrenders to him, under the current circumstances, Zhao Sili will never offend the county magistrate for this.
Based on the context at this time, Secretary Zhao quickly came up with the answer: "To check the inventory, one must have a sense of loyalty to the country and the ability to read and count. It is necessary to have both talent and virtue. It will be difficult to wait for others.
I'm qualified. Fortunately, my lord has a keen eye and has discovered talents like Pang Yu from Zaoban. I would like to ask your lord's permission to temporarily transfer Pang Yu from the household to take on this important task. In addition, each warehouse has its own situation over the years and must be managed by someone who is familiar with warehousing.
, the household officials and officials of the Tang Dynasty can be used for the people."
There was a commotion among the people in the hall, extremely envious of fool Pang Er's bad luck.
Checking warehousing has always been a lucrative job. In the county government, the general household supervisors, court officials or assistant officials will arrange some of their own people to share the profits.
Now that Secretary Zhao has given the county magistrate face, and also arranged for one of his own, the county magistrate will naturally not refute his face.
Sure enough, the county magistrate nodded and said: "The arrangements made by Secretary Zhao are very appropriate, and I agree with this.
Pang Yu, you must conduct inspections impartially and be worthy of Secretary Zhao’s regard for you."
... There was a loud banging sound, and all the servants outside the room on duty avoided the door.
Wang Dazhuang was in a bad mood, and couldn't take it out on Pang Yu for the time being, so he had to smash the bench in the room and play. No one wanted to get into trouble with this.
Everyone in the Zaoban class knew that Wang Dazhuang did not want to see Pang Yu, and that the county magistrates were not as good as taking charge now. Most of them were still prepared to continue to wait and see, but their faces became much gentler when they faced Pang Yu. However, the person involved, Pang Er, was a fool who didn't care and was practicing on his own next door.
Get up and do push-ups.
Everyone outside the door looked at Pang Yu who was behaving strangely with envy. Such a fool, but in just two days, he became a celebrity in the county magistrate with just one mouth. He got such a good job as a warehouse inspector, which was the envy of everyone.
Pang Yu won a great victory today, and with the support of the county magistrate, there is no need to worry about Wang Dazhuang's shoes in the short term.
After doing push-ups, he felt even better. He originally planned to go to Tang Weimin later to see how he planned to inspect the warehouse. When he arrived at the door, he saw Tang Weimin wearing a green gown coming through the corner door first.
Tang Weimin is about thirty-seven or eighteen years old. He has a fair complexion and looks talented. His beard is not long but it is well groomed. He always has a kind expression on his face.
He is the household official, also the deputy director of the Finance Bureau.
The county government is different from the imperial court. The six departments of the imperial court are headed by the official department, but the county government is headed by the household house. The household house is in charge of both finance and taxation, and each house has its requirements for the household house.
It can be said that he has a high and powerful position in the yamen. In addition to Zhao Sili as the top leader of the household in Tongcheng, there are also three deputies. Tang Weimin, the second and third boss of the household, is also prestigious, and his status is comparable to that of other households.
’s secretary.
Someone went in and notified Wang Dazhuang. Wang Dazhuang hurriedly came out to say hello. Tang Weimin dealt with it in a friendly manner, then left Wang Dazhuang and turned directly to Pang Yu, which attracted the jealous eyes of everyone in Zaoban.
"How dare you come here, Mr. Tang?"
When Pang Yu saw the ceremony, Tang Weimin replied in an easy-going manner: "Inspection of the warehouse is an important matter for the county, and it is personally assigned by the county prime minister and Secretary Zhao. I want to discuss it with Little Brother Pang first. I don't know if Little Brother Pang has any objections."
Seeing Shangguan being so polite, Pang Yu suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. She knew that Tang Weimin was doing it for the sake of the county magistrate's face, so of course she couldn't make an air of it.
He quickly and respectfully replied: "How dare you act like the second son of the master? I have never done such a big thing, so there is nothing to care about.
Presumably, the county magistrate and Mr. Zhao knew this and specially arranged for Mr. Tang to take charge. Therefore, the villain had one thought, not only to get things done, but also to follow Mr. Tang to learn more and listen more. He listened to Mr. Tang no matter how he arranged it.
Yes, all villains will obey."
Tang Weimin came over to ask Pang Yu for his opinion. It was because Pang Yu suddenly became a celebrity in the county. It was not because he thought highly of Pang Yu himself. But seeing that Pang Yu was so knowledgeable, he kindly said: "The so-called manager is just a person who has been in charge for many years."
It's just some experience. In that case, I will first talk about the situation of each warehouse in the county, so that little brother Pang can be prepared."
Tang Weimin was so easy-going and polite, and Pang Yu had no choice but to reply politely, "Sir, please speak."
“There are a total of more than ten warehouses in the county. The main ones are Preparatory Granary and Fengyu Granary in the county, and the main ones are Congyang in each township. Among them, the warehouses in Upper Songyang and Lower Songyang still retain their true character of raising grain.
Tang Mou planned to start with the county town, followed by Songyang, and from near to far, start from the preparation warehouse and Fengyu warehouse, and then go to upper and lower Songyang.
In this way, if the county magistrate asks about it in the middle, we have checked the important points so that we can have a reply, and the county magistrate will not blame me for being slow in doing things."
"Master Tang's arrangements are very appropriate. I will listen to Master Tang."
"Then Tang will go and prepare the documents first. The time is tentatively scheduled to start the day after tomorrow. I will ask the delivery office to send it to each warehouse this afternoon so that they can be prepared."
In fact, the reserve warehouse is right next to the county government office, and Mr. Tang still wants to issue a formal document to make it appear more formal, but Pang Yu guessed that it would also give each warehouse some time to check for leaks and fill in the gaps.
Pang Yu bowed politely, "But it depends on your arrangements."
