Orion's pretty daughter-in-law

Chapter 210 Tasteless?Or obesity?
At that time, when Luo Jinxiu and Yun Jinghao were discussing the Yun family, in the backyard of the county seat and the Office of the Salt Transport Department, Yun Chengyao, who they had expected to be proud of, had an uneasy expression on his face.

He originally thought that with the help of Yueshi's natal family, at least he could become a higher official than his father-in-law or even the county magistrate, right?

But what happened?From Bapin?This is much lower grade than he expected!

The county magistrate’s grade is the seventh grade, and he is more than two grades behind. Even his father-in-law, Ma Xiancheng, is still the eighth grade. He has not been able to beat any of them. The person with the highest official position in the village should be respected by everyone who sees him, and live by his face, now...

Probably only the rest of the Yun family would be satisfied if they could become an official no matter what kind of official they are, and they should be proud of it.

In fact, the mentality of the Yun family is the most normal. A peasant who is admitted to Juren is almost like a college student from a poor mountain ditch in modern times. It is more than enough to be a village official, but it is not enough to become a particularly powerful official. Yuan, now that he is a serious official, what is there to be dissatisfied with?
On the contrary, Yun Chengyao is so ambitious, and he doesn't want to weigh how much he weighs. Instead, he feels that the Duke's Mansion is not as powerful as he thinks it is.

But I don't know, after the Duke's Mansion and the Ministry of Officials greeted him before, the Ministry of Officials also had a lot of headaches in order to arrange a suitable official position for him.

Give it to the one with the lowest rank. The Duke's Mansion has specially mentioned such a person. If he is dissatisfied at that time, wouldn't he offend the Duke's Mansion?But if you really want to give it a special favor, the attitude of the Duke's Mansion at that time did not seem to treat this person particularly differently, but showed an attitude of doing it as a last resort.

After much deliberation, he was given such an errand for the Salt Transportation Department. Whether he does it well or not depends on how he does it.

Yun Chengyao didn't think that much, or it could be said that because of his background and experience, he didn't see that far. It wasn't until one of his classmates came to congratulate him that his heart moved slightly.

"Brother Cheng Yao is very lucky. There may not be one person in a thousand who can become an official if he wins the exam. Not only did you become that person, but you also got such a good job." The classmate said enviously.

Yun Cheng's eyes flickered slightly, and he asked in confusion: "Brother Huang, why did you say that? The governor of the Salt Transportation Department is only an official of the eighth rank, how can he be a good job?"

In his opinion, in terms of influence in the county, the county lord must be the greatest, followed by his father-in-law.

But in fact, let’s not mention that these are only civil servants. No matter how small Furong County is, there is also a military camp. The generals there are no lower than the county magistrate. Even because he has soldiers in his hand, the magistrate must be courteous. .

These officials are all carrots and pits. Unless someone made a mistake and was demoted, or was promoted, and the position was vacated, how could the Duke's Mansion forcefully squeeze people out to make room for him?
From the very beginning, what he was thinking about was impossible and unrealistic, but he couldn't see it clearly.

The classmate looked at the left and right courtyards, and made sure there were no outsiders, so he slightly lowered his voice and said, "Brother Cheng Yao, don't know where the Salt Transportation Department is? It is in charge of local salt affairs, between salt merchants, the government, and the common people. You really don't know about the tricky relationship between them?"

Yun Chengyao's pupils shrank, and he figured out all kinds of key points in a blink of an eye!

yes!Why didn't he think of this!

Throughout the ages, the seasoning of salt has been controlled by the government. The folks are only allowed to sell official salt. The price is said to be set by the government, but in fact it is the salt merchant who has a lot of salt. If the salt merchant wants to sell salt, they can only sell it. The government, and then the government will be distributed to various prefectures and counties. In the process of coming and going, it is necessary to exploit layers of oil and water.

In order for the salt merchants to obtain more salt to please the officials of the Salt Transportation Department, the Salt Transportation Department can also adjust a certain salt price by itself without crossing the line too much. It is also necessary to go up, the higher the official position, the more oil and water you can get, but even if the official position is low, no one who works in the Salt Transport Department is poor.

Yun Chengyao may not be able to think clearly about all these things. There are some things in the officialdom that he has no chance to understand without personal contact, but this does not prevent him from realizing that the position of the governor of the Salt Transportation Department is not as important as he imagined. tasteless.

"Thank you, brother Huang, for reminding me that I was too happy to react in time." Yun Chengyao swept away the gloom before, and thanked his classmates in such a way, and said in a way: " The Department of Salt Transportation is indeed very important, and it is closely related to the lives of the common people, if the Shangguan entrusts me with the position here, I should live up to the trust of the Shangguan and do a good job as the governor."

The classmate seemed to be shocked by Yun Chengyao's upright attitude, but after staring at him for a while, he suddenly smiled and said, "Brother Cheng Yao really deserves to be a talented person who can become a scholar at a young age, I believe you In the future, I will definitely become a good official praised by the people."

"Where is it?" Yun Chengyao pretended to be modest and waved his hands, but his eyes clearly showed a bit of pride and ambition.

The two talked for a while, and after the classmates left, Yun Chengyao rushed to the study impatiently, preparing to take a closer look at the records and records left by the people in front of him that were handed over to him by the people from the Salt Transportation Department two days ago. accounts.

Before, he just thought about going from the eighth rank to the eighth rank, and he didn't have the heart to help others settle the accounts at all, but now the situation is different. After calculating those accounts, he should be able to roughly estimate how much benefit the original governor got during his tenure.

Being an official, except for those who really want to show their revenge, the rest of them, to put it bluntly, just want to be an official so that they can put on airs and let others listen to them Command, satisfy one's own vanity, sense of superiority, and... earn more than the average person!
Also, no matter what wrong you do, you can survive because you are an official!
——If the people in the Duke's Mansion knew that Yun Chengyao had this kind of thinking, they probably would have slapped him to the ground before he could do anything.

Just as soon as you become an official, you will have a wrong idea or something. It is a typical example that you will not die if you don't do it!

It's a pity that the people in the Duke's Mansion didn't know about this, and after Yun Jinghao and Luo Jinxiu heard about the Yun family's move away from Shangcun, they didn't even think about paying attention to their movements.

Now that the family is separated and they don't live in the same village anymore, it's good to live their lives separately. The Yun family don't want to take advantage of them anymore, and they don't care whether the Yun family can really rely on Yun Chengyao to prosper stand up.

Although such words are not very good for them, the fact is, no matter how developed the Yun family is, can they go past them?It's impossible.

When Yun Chengyao was excited about checking the accounts, Luo Jinxiu had already made an agreement with the sister-in-law of Li Zheng's family. Originally, sister-in-law Liu was also working in the workshop and was one of the first helpers recruited. Yun Kou was still there. When I was young, I often helped Yun Kou share some things in the workshop, and I also knew the people in the workshop and the shops in several towns around the county that had cooperation, and knew the supply process and so on.

As long as you have greeted them first, it is easy to settle the matter.

At first Mrs. Liu did shirk and say that she was incompetent, but Luo Jinxiu took her down with a few words.

"The newly opened large workshop in Fucheng needs someone to take care of it. There are more people to manage there, and the supply volume to the shop every day is also larger. I think that Shuiyue will be cultivated in the mansion, and I am very good at these things. , I’m going to take her there and let her take charge, if she leaves here, no one can take care of us, otherwise, Sister Liu, you go to Fucheng with me, and Shuiyue stays?”

Sure enough, rather than going to Fucheng, staying in the village to help her was more in line with Mrs. Liu's wishes. Her in-laws, husband and children were all in the village, and she herself was the eldest daughter-in-law, so how could she feel relieved to go to Fucheng?

After finalizing the matter, Luo Jinxiu naturally raised the salary for Aunt Liu. Before, Aunt Liu, like the helpers in other workshops, had a basic salary of [-] Wen per month. Every time the medicinal materials were processed, there would be a part of the commission. You can get almost one tael of silver a month.

But being a supervisor of a workshop is different. It directly mentions five taels of silver a month. If the benefits are good, there will be additional bonuses, as well as half-year bonuses and year-end bonuses.

Li Zheng and Aunt Li Zheng didn't intend to object at first, but when they learned that the family had such a large amount of income, they couldn't help but smile from ear to ear, and at the same time, they were even more grateful to Luo Jinxiu.

After all, this matter does not necessarily have to be handed over to their eldest daughter-in-law. There are many capable people in the workshop, including Zhou Xier who also approached Luo Jinxiu after giving birth and told her that she wanted to help her. The relationship between growing up together and marrying into the same village is closer than their daughter-in-law, right?
Luo Jinxiu has indeed considered Zhou Xier, but Zhou Xier still has a child who is not too old to take care of, and the help in the workshop is only guaranteed to work for half a day. If it adds to her burden, either the child will not be able to take care of her, or she will have to tire herself out. collapsed.

So in the end I thought about it and dismissed the idea.

If he wants to help his sister, there are many ways, and there is no shortage of such a way that is not suitable for Zhou Xier.

After talking about things, Shuiyue and Sister-in-law Liu took some time to make a simple handover. In the evening, the couple and Baibi who was driving brought Shuiyue back to Fucheng together.

Coincidentally, Jinghua and they came back from the workshop at the same time, and also took back the individually customized grease gift box set prepared for Mr. Xiao Shan.

Luo Jinxiu checked to make sure there was no problem, and then she just waited for the day when Jinshu formally apprenticed as a teacher to deliver the gift!
