Chapter 21 Fortune and Misfortune

"Shuo'er thought of Grandpa Cao Jie's previous words..."

Cao Shu raised his head and said in detail: "For Grandpa Cao Jie, it is easy to change the head of the Imperial Academy. But Grandpa Cao Jie did not do this. The reason is that he could not find a candidate who could replace Mr. Cai Yong... Then..."

Speaking of this, Cao Shu paused and glanced at Grandpa Cao Song.

"So? Grandpa is in charge of the wealthy power of the Han Dynasty for so many years? Is his position as a farmer in the Grand Secretary so easy to replace? So...Shuoer was curious, was that uncle named Zhang Wen the first served as a farmer in the Grand Secretary? Can he manage the treasury of the Han Dynasty?"

call out…

Cao Jie seemed to have a bright light.

His and Cao Song’s previous considerations seemed to have a bit one-sided idea and did not hit the point.

Cao Shu's words...just relying on the word "replacement" alone, it seems to wake up Cao Jie suddenly, and Cao Jie couldn't help but exclaim. "What a wonderful thing, what a wonderful thing...haha!"

Hearing Cao Jie say this, Cao Song hurriedly approached... "Mr. Cao? How wonderful?" Cao Song's mind was not as fast as Cao Jie's. For a moment, he was still a little confused.

"You! You are not as smart as your grandson..." Cao Jie said with a smile: "You think, you have been a Grand Secretary for so many years before you can sort out the clues of the treasury accounts? That Wen? It's only been a long time since he took office? The complex and vast accounts and property of the Han Dynasty? Can he sort out the details?"

Account book? Property?... Speaking of this, Cao Song seemed to have insight into something.

Cao Jie's voice came one after another. "In recent years, where have the harvest and paid more taxes? Where have the owed and paid less taxes? Where are the taxes of counties and counties and marquis states deducted or added together? Which places are taxed in kind? Which places are purchased in currency? Which places are re-allocated, and where the land in which the land has decreased due to flood disasters? These? Zhang Wen knows nothing!"

After uttering so many words in one breath, Cao Jie's mood became much more refreshing...

Although he did not deliberately inquire about Zhang Wen's post as the Grand Secretary's Farmer... How is the financial and tax revenue of the empire? You can think about it and you can know that the current treasury must be messy...

Zhang Wen? He was just a "Huns General" before. He probably had a skill when he was playing with swords and guns. But if he really wanted to play with abacus, he must be a big layman!

In other words, it's just like the little guy Cao Shu said.

——The relationship between Dasiong and Cao Song is like the relationship between Luoyang Taixue and Cai Yong... It is a stick with the front and back shoulders, and no one can do without anyone else.

Hahaha…

Understanding this, Cao Jie laughed out loud... He didn't forget to touch Cao Shu's little head. "In terms of intelligence and agility, what are we... we are far inferior to this little guy..."

Huh... Cao Song breathed out a long breath, took a cup of tea, took a sip, and looked at his grandson Cao Shuo from the corner of his eyes... But his current thoughts were all on the position of Grand Secretary. "I understand, I understand..."

Of course he understood...

To put it bluntly, the accounts recorded in the Han Dynasty's treasury are just confusing accounts.

Not to mention... all aspects of the states and counties in the empire and the vassal states when paying taxes, he and Cao Jie alone... transporting the money in the treasury to his hometown in Qiao County privately is destined that the treasury and accounts of the Han Dynasty means that the accounts are not in line with the treasury and the money is not in line with the things.

To put it vividly, the accounts are sophisticated... The only clear account only exists in Cao Song's head.

Of course, if you really want to hold the responsibility accountable, Cao Song had already thought of a very suitable reason and excuse...

There are few manpower, frequent material disposal, insufficient treasury, and a certain treasury was flooded by heavy rain... In order to rescue the material, the treasury was temporarily merged, resulting in mixed goods, not to mention... Emperor Liu Hong also occasionally had to embezzle them privately... These are all reasons... Anyway, it doesn't matter to him, Cao Song.

Thinking of this, Cao Song... he felt a little sorry for the current Grand Chief Farmer Zhang Wen. This mess... except Cao Song himself? I am afraid no one can deal with it in the world...

No wonder, the Taixue did not pay his salary for half a year; the military pay of the border soldiers could not be squeezed out; the emperor wanted to build a garden, but he could not afford it if he had money in the treasury account.

The more I think about it, the more I feel that it was him, Cao Song, who was cheating Zhang Wen? Suddenly, I felt a little sorry for Zhang Wen.

...This is not a fat man? This is a sinkhole!

Hehe... the official reinstates his post? This seemingly illusory thing is because of a reminder from his grandson Cao Shu. In this way, have you found room for change?

The more I think about it, the more incredible it feels... Awesome, grandson Cao Shu!

"Mr. Cao...I think this..." Cao Song wanted to speak, but now he has a lot of things to say.

"No need to say anything, I understand." Cao Jie interrupted him directly. "Brother, if you are responsible for your reinstatement, you can wait at home with peace of mind... These leisurely days are probably gone forever..."

Cao Jie stood up and touched Cao Shu's little head before leaving. "Little guy? Thank you this time! But, at your young age, don't study all day long, go to the market to have a walk and have fun... During this period, many Hu merchants and Indians who can perform acrobatics have come to Luoyang City. It's very interesting..."

Speaking of this, Cao Jie seemed to have thought of something again and reminded him. "By the way, if you are short of money, I will ask your grandpa for it... There is money in our old house in Qiao County... Haha..."

After saying this, Cao Jie slowly left... While walking, he laughed sadly.

The weather seemed to have become much clearer.

...A good day of being under one person and above ten thousand people, who is in charge of personnel and financial power, is about to come back.

Hahaha... Cao Cao's naughty man is not enough to make trouble, but he is just as good as he... can give birth to a son.

With this ability... Cao Jie was thinking... Otherwise, send a few beauties to Qiao County? Since you are so good at giving birth, just let Cao Cao give birth to a few more? Even if you are not as smart and intelligent as Cao Shu... As long as you can get 30% of them, it is enough!

"Cao Cao, Cao Cao..." After walking out of No. 9, Jinwu Lane, Cao Jie paused. "Our family suddenly feels that they don't hate you so much...hehe!"

The Grand Secretary’s Official Residence.

Close to the important place of the palace, on one side of the official residence are the warehouses of more than ten empires... All the taxes of the great Han Dynasty were displayed in it.

It can be seen from afar that there are countless imperial guards around them, patrolling carefully.

But it was such a solemn and solemn place, "Ahhhhh..." A frustrated roar was coming, and a curse sound was about to come.

"Damn it, I can't do this job..." The roar was Zhang Wen, the newly promoted Grand Secretary...

Because Zhang Rang, the leader of the Ten Eunuchs, recognized his brothers of the same clan... His official career also became soaring. In a short period of time, he jumped from the unpopular "Huns General"... a "Grand Chief Peasant" who was in charge of the financial power of the Han Dynasty.

This is such a fat man... How many people are envious?

But…

Only Zhang Wen himself knows what he has experienced in the past six months of serving as the Grand Chief Farmer...

"This is not the same as that, nor the same as that..." Zhang Wen scolded the Lord Bo beside him. "What are you doing for food? Without Cao Song? Our great man's treasury? Can't it work?"

"Master...Master..." The Lord Bo lowered his head, looking aggrieved. "...Not Cao...Master Cao Song, this account... is really...the truth is unclear."

Even if I knew... I would be cursing like this, but I still couldn't help but say it.

Among these dozen treasurys, there are many materials, and you can't see the other end from this end... But there are only a few civilian officials in the treasury? Who came to count the accounts and recreate the book? What's more, these things... how much is worth? No one can tell whether they go out.

"You...you... are all...all useless!" Zhang Wen was angry, and he wanted to pick up a knife and split the group of mediocre people in front of him into two pieces...

But at this moment.

"Report... sir..."

An official rushed over... "Mr. Cai Yong sent someone to urge the Imperial College salary again; if the four million yuan of military pay needed on the front line is not prepared to be improved today, it may affect the momentum of the front line soldiers; and... and... the garden, today... Your Majesty is furious... If you can't get the money to build the yard, you may have a life..."
