Chapter 118 Here comes the blame! I'm coming too(2/2)
If you don't give face, then you are shameless.
Fortunately, when I went to the poetry meeting, no one asked Zhang Heng to write poems. It was probably because Zhang Heng had Mid-Autumn Festival poems on it. Of course, it was also possible that if Zhang Heng was asked to write poems, the other people would have to eat and drink.
Already.
Zhang Heng was happy to be at ease, but Yan Shu's son Yan Jidao came up to talk to him.
Yan Jidao was still a young man. He seemed to be a little jealous of Zhang Heng, but also admired him a little. After Zhang Heng made some jokes, he made Yan Jidao his confidant, bragging around Zhang Heng, saying that he was
Restaurants and brothels are so popular that the girls recommend themselves to them as pillows and mats.
I can't believe all of this, but it's probably credible.
Zhang Heng appropriately expressed his admiration for him, and Yan Jidao patted his chest and said that if Zhang Heng went with him, it would be okay... Well, he suddenly remembered that Zhang Heng didn't need him to take him with him at all. If Zhang Heng was willing,
, I think the girl who slept all over Bianjing City did not need to spend a penny, but she might have become rich.
It was a little embarrassing for a while.
Zhang Heng was not an embarrassing person. He pretended to be very interested and asked about some things in the brothel. As expected, Yan Jidao started boasting again.
Actually, it's quite interesting.
Seeing this high-spirited man and thinking of his future downfall, Zhang Heng lamented the impermanence of life.
When Bao Zheng's black face appeared in front of him, Zhang Heng lamented the impermanence of life.
He almost said: Mr. Bao, are you here to take the blame?
When Zhang Heng looked at Bao Zheng's dark face, he thought to himself, who said that Bao Zheng is a white-faced scholar? Except that there is no crescent mark on his forehead, isn't he just a living black-faced scholar?
Zhang Heng said cautiously: "Bao Tongpan, is your face naturally so dark?"
Bao Zheng shook his head and said: "When I came back from Duanzhou, Guangnan East Road was too hot. I stayed there for more than half a year and it ended up like this."
Zhang Heng said with a smile: "That should be fine, it will be nothing after raising it for half a year."
Bao Zheng waved his hand: "As a man, there is nothing wrong with the black spots. Let's get down to business. Your Majesty has ordered me to come over and preside over the reform of the warehouse's treasury affairs. I happen to have a black face, which can intimidate people."
Zhang Heng said cautiously: "Master Bao, this job can offend people."
Bao Zheng smiled slightly when he heard this: "You are not afraid, what am I afraid of? I have heard about you. You are a good official, much better than many people. I have never been afraid of offending people. If you offend, you will offend them."
Can you still bite me?
But you, if this thing is done, the credit will be considerable, but the credit will not fall on you when the time comes, but it will make me lick my face and accept it, don't you feel suffocated?"
Zhang Heng bowed his hands to Bao Zheng with great sincerity and said, "Mr. Bao, what you said is wrong. You come to help me bear the blame. I am very grateful. With so many merits, how can they be compared with the hurt of being envied?"
The boy's contribution is indispensable in His Majesty's heart, but you, although it seems that you get the credit, it will have an impact on your future future."
Bao Zheng really laughed: "You are wrong. I am not afraid of offending people. Your Majesty also knows that I am not afraid of offending people. Otherwise, why would you call me back from Duanzhou, thousands of miles away? Isn't it just fancy?
Is that so?
The thing that offends people is my traditional craftsmanship, but it is this contribution that your Majesty will not miss me. This time, I will make a lot of money."
Zhang Heng said respectfully: "Master Bao is well-deserved!"
Bao Zheng laughed again, feeling very happy.
Bao Zheng's loud voice was heard in other halls, and Wu Yu said in surprise: "Bao Heizi has always been very solemn. Waiting for him to smile is like waiting for the Yellow River to clear. Why are you laughing so much today?"
After some teasing... no, after some pleasantries, Zhang Heng handed a book he compiled to Bao Zheng: "Mr. Bao, take a look first. Although the kid is doing more work this time, you are at the forefront.
, you also need to be familiar with these things.”
Bao Zheng took the brochure and wrote "Concerning Matters Concerning the Contracting of the Minister's Treasury". Bao Zheng smiled and said: "Okay, let me study it first, you can do it yourself."
Zhang Heng returned to the Procuratorate. He also had a lot of things to do. He was currently working on this reform matter, but there were a lot of documents that needed to be signed. Every day, subordinate officials would come to inquire. It would be painful if they came one more time.
Up three points.
Of course, they didn't dare to look down on Zhang Heng. As old officials, they knew who was easy to offend and who was not easy to offend.
With Zhang Heng's background, being a top scholar, and having a bright future, who would dare to offend him so easily?
The bitter look on their faces was not because of resentment, but because they were scolded by their respective chief officers. The document needed to be signed before it could take effect, but Zhang Heng refused to sign. The chief officer was angry and could not do anything to Zhang Heng.
Just take it out on your subordinates.
They didn't dare to offend Zhang Heng, but Zhang Heng felt uncomfortable when he saw it. He wanted to sign these as soon as he had time, so as not to see their miserable faces every day. They were just workers, so there was no need to embarrass each other.
He had only signed half of it when he saw Bao Zheng striding in.
Zhang Heng said in surprise: "Mr. Bao, if you have something to do, just call me. How can a superior come to visit the public servant in person?"
Bao Zheng stared at Zhang Heng: "Did you write these?"
Zhang Heng nodded and said: "Not entirely, there are about dozens of people checking the information and data, but the part involving reform was formulated by the boy based on the data and various surveys. Did Mr. Bao find any errors or omissions?
"
As Zhang Heng said this, he asked Bao Zheng to take a seat.
Bao Zheng sat down and looked at Zhang Heng with a look of appreciation in his eyes: "I came back to see Your Majesty. His Majesty said that you are a very talented young man. I still have some doubts in my heart, but after seeing your "
"Minister's Treasury Reform Policy", I know that Your Majesty has a keen eye for talents, and you, a young man, are really talented!"
Zhang Heng was a little embarrassed by Bao Zheng's praise: "Master Bao is so complimentary."
Bao Zheng said: "I never praise others, but if I do, then I really praise you. These are not important. What is important is that your contract system is feasible!"
"feasible?"
"feasible!"
Bao Zheng was decisive.
