Chapter 115 Undercurrent! (Coming!)

On the first day of work, there wasn't much to do. The clerk said that all kinds of documents would be delivered tomorrow, and I'm afraid I wouldn't be so free by then, but it was just a good time to get familiar with it first.

Zhang Heng thought that it would be okay to be idle, so he wandered around, saying hello to the general judge, and then to the judge judges. If he still had time, he ran to the courtyard to talk to the judge.

The officials who recorded the affairs and joined the army also said hello. At the end of the day, the entire yamen was visited.

Everyone knew that a new judge was coming, but not everyone would pay attention. On the first day Zhang Heng came, he met everyone, so everyone knew him.

Zhang Heng had a high starting point and a background behind him. Then most of them were greeted, saying that Zhang Heng, Zhang Sanyuan, was here to revitalize the warehouse's treasury affairs. It was the officials who greeted him. People with such a profound background would naturally

No one dared to look down upon him, so he was smiling and laughing, and even Tong Xuan did not dare to act like a superior.

The promotion officer Zuo Chaoming and his confidants said: "... He said that he came to revitalize the warehouse and treasury, but it was just a pretext. How could a dignified champion, a top scholar with three yuan grades, do such humble things in business?

Affairs?

I guess it's just a formality. If you don't believe me, just wait and see. It will last about a year and a half. At that time, you will be transferred to do daily life notes, and then write a book, learn from the knowledge and make imperial edicts. Isn't this all the way to promotion?

Have you gone up?

Talking about revitalizing the warehouse and treasury services is nothing more than finding an excuse, otherwise the Tongjin Yintai Division would probably not agree to let the top scholar stay in Bianjing. If that Jinshi had to go to the local prefectures and counties for training, how could he stay?

What’s the point of being in Kaifeng?”

Zuo Chaoming's thoughts represent the thoughts of most people.

Most of the warehouse supervisors also feel the same way.

The supervising officer was the chief officer of each warehouse's treasury affairs, which was equivalent to the position of general manager in later generations.

Bao Maolun came to the public house early in the morning and saw Qi Rongcheng coming.

Bao Maolun smiled and said: "What are you doing here, old Chaofeng? I have nothing to resist."

Qi Rongcheng smiled and said: "I can't ask you to pawn it. Your minister's treasury is public money, and my pawn treasury is also public money. When the time comes, the Shangguan will give it up, and I will give away the money in vain."

"

Bao Maolun was the supervisor in charge of the ministerial treasury, while Qi Rongcheng was the supervisor in charge of the treasury. The relationship between the two of them was closer.

Bao Maolun smiled and said: "Tell me, what's the matter? I'm busy today. It is said that a judge has come to Nanya, and he is specially in charge of the warehouse and treasury affairs. I'm afraid the person who came here is not good."

Qi Rongcheng sneered: "That Zhang Sanyuan, he's just here for gold plating. The dignified Sanyuan No. 1 Scholar will come to take charge of such a despicable job as warehouse treasury?"

Bao Maolun shook his head, his face was a little solemn, and he whispered: "Don't be careless."

Qi Rongcheng looked at Bao Maolun's face, his heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he quickly asked: "Is this really a bad person?"

Bao Maolun nodded and said: "He is really a good hand in business. Have you ever seen a shopping mall with a built-in warehouse?"

Qi Rongcheng nodded: "My mother-in-law always likes to go there to buy some useful things recently, and I have also gone there."

Bao Maolun said: "Lu Yining ran the mall, but this idea was given by Zhang Heng. Zhang Heng took 40% of the shares and later sold it to the Cao family. It is said that he sold it for millions of dollars."

Qi Rongcheng took a breath: "This bitch is so good at making money..."

"Shut your stinky mouth!" Bao Maolun glared at Qi Rongcheng angrily, "I told you that you can't keep your stinky mouth shut. He is our chief officer. If this was passed on, what would you do to the prison officer?

Do you want to do it or not?”

Qi Rongcheng patted his mouth gently and said with a smile: "Aren't we chatting in private? You, Bao Maolun, are not a snitch. I can trust this."

Bao Maolun took a deep breath and sighed: "It's been such a troubled time."

Qi Rongcheng joked: "What a troubled time, you are the only one to worry about it."

Bao Maolun glared at him and said, "What are you here to do?"

Qi Rongcheng chuckled: "I just came here to inquire with you. After all, there is a new chief, and I don't feel very stable at all, right?"

"Now are you done inquiring? Let's go now. I don't have time to talk to you." Bao Maolun sat down and was about to start working.

Qi Rongcheng quickly exclaimed: "No, no, no, let's talk more."

Bao Maolun ignored him and just started writing and correcting the documents.

Qi Rongcheng didn't care whether he listened or not, and said as he walked: "I have heard that Zhang Sanyuan came with the will of the officials. It is said that the officials have benefited from the shopping mall, so they have great expectations for him."

I hope that he will sort out the warehouse affairs.

You also know this mess, it’s all a mess, if he really comes to stir things up, I’m afraid no one will be able to take advantage of it!"

Bao Maolun kept holding the pen and snorted: "What does it have to do with me? I have neither been corrupt nor violated the law."

Qi Rongcheng sneered: "You don't have one, don't you have any of your subordinates? The ministerial treasury is all over the Song Dynasty, and there are so many people working under them. You can manage them. When they are found out, you, the supervisor, are the worst.

You have to be punished for a crime of lax jurisdiction. Although you will not go to jail, it is easy to get rid of your official position. Do you really think that you can be on your own?"

Bao Maolun finally put down his brush, looked at Qi Rongcheng and said, "Then what can I do?"

Qi Rongcheng held up his palms and smiled: "We have dozens of warehouse supervisors, if we all boycott him..."

"That's courting death!" Bao Maolun said coldly.

Qi Rongcheng was startled, then became a little angry and said: "Why, can he still chop off our heads?"

Bao Maolun looked at Qi Rongcheng, with a somewhat pitiful expression on his face and said: "I don't care who is behind you, and I don't know why the people behind you want to mess with Zhang Heng. These have nothing to do with me. I just do my duty well, and I don't care about the rest.

If you don’t want to know, please go ahead.”

Qi Rongcheng warned Bao Maolun firmly, gritting his teeth and said: "It's useless for me to treat you as my friend. I came to save your life properly, but you bit Lu Dongbin!"

Bao Maolun chuckled and said: "Okay, Qi Rongcheng, I, Bao Maolun, am just an upright person, not a fool. If you want to borrow a knife to kill someone, turn left when you go out and use this to fool Zhou Zenghai. Bian Shanwen and them go."

Qi Rongcheng stamped his foot and sighed: "You, you, you have been thinking about me Qi Rongcheng all day long, really!"

Bao Maolun chuckled and said, "Who is it?"

Qi Rongcheng shook his head and said: "Forget it, just stop interfering. That's it."

After saying that Qi Rongcheng was about to leave, Bao Maolun said softly: "Brother Rongcheng, you don't want to get involved too deeply in some things. The people behind you may be really great, but the big guys are competing with each other. You, with little arms and legs, are too involved."

It’s too deep, be careful of breaking it.”

Qi Rongcheng also sneered: "Don't worry, I am a real boss, he can protect me."

Bao Maolun waved his hand and stopped talking.

——

Zhang Heng didn't know this, so he fooled him for a day and went to Zeng Mansion.

When Zeng Gongliang saw Zhang Heng, he smiled and said, "How do you feel about your first day at work?"

Zhang Heng smiled and said: "It's okay, I just messed around for a day."

Zeng Gongliang laughed loudly: "You have gained the true inheritance of officialdom. Learning to fool around is the way to protect yourself."

Zhang Heng laughed accordingly.

Zhang Heng explained what happened today, and Zeng Gongliang nodded: "It is very important to have a good relationship with your colleagues. I am not worried that you can't do this well..."

He pondered for a moment and said: "...there are some things that I didn't tell you before. Today, you go and experience it for yourself, and then I'll tell you about it.

As for your assignment, the official asked you to carry out the task, so you still have to do it well.

But business is a small path after all, so don’t put all your energy into it seriously, you still have to learn the rest, and learn more from Chunqing.”

Zhang Heng thought for a while and nodded: "I understand."

Zeng Gongliang smiled and said: "You are a smart person who knows everything. We can manage money at home, but when we are officials, we try to have as little contact as possible. The court needs money, but people who are good at financial management are always considered to be full of problems.

The smell of copper... Huh, if people who are good at managing money are not helping the court manage money, where will their salaries come from!"

Zeng Gongliang was a little angry when he talked about this, probably because he was often said to be greedy for money.

What Zeng Gongliang meant was that although the government asked him to revitalize the warehouse and treasury affairs, don't take it seriously and just manage those things. You still have to achieve something in government affairs. If you are positioned as a financial expert, you will suffer discrimination throughout your life.

Zhang Heng followed the good and followed the flow.

But the next day, he began to summon the supervisors to come over for a meeting.

He followed the general work process of new leaders in later generations. The first step was to interview them one by one. He first recognized the people and had a basic understanding of these subordinates so that he could start the next step of the work.

During the interview, he asked each superintendent to introduce the responsibilities of the institution under his jurisdiction, and asked them to report their annual and quarterly revenue. After that, he asked them all about the areas that needed improvement for the institution.

What problems exist? At the end, a bombshell is announced - he will lead the supervisory officials to carry out drastic reforms in the warehouse's treasury affairs.

The supervisors had already made some guesses, but after receiving confirmation from Zhang Heng, they were frightened after all, and they all looked a little distracted.

However, Zhang Heng saw several supervisors who were in high spirits after hearing the news. Zhang Heng silently wrote it down. One of them, Bao Maolun, caught his attention.

In his report, Bao Maolun was outspoken about the problems of the ministerial treasury under his jurisdiction. He believed that the ministerial treasury had many problems such as "exploiting the people", "encouraging the habit of eating and drinking public funds", "wasting public funds" and "encouraging bribery", etc., and many local people

The officials of the legation have enriched their own pockets and misappropriated public funds, and it has come to a point where they have to be punished.

Bao Maolun was quite candid when he explained these things, and he also criticized himself for his poor supervision.

This impressed Zhang Heng quite deeply.

Bao Maolun looked like a quite decent man, with serious eyes, unlike some prison officials who had wandering eyes.

Zhang Heng decided to start from the minister's treasury.
