Chapter 79 What does Xie Ji want to do?(1/2)
"And those snacks, as long as they are leftover by the officials in the Ministry of Revenue, I will take them back. After all, it is a shameful waste."
Wei Zhenzhi continued, and everyone was shocked as he spoke.
This was also the first time they had seen such a person.
"Then what are you going to do for dinner and breakfast? You can't stop eating, and you can't be unfilial even if you're hungry!"
Cai Yan continued, "This must cost money!"
"Of course, I must eat it, and I eat well. I spent 200 Wen to buy a month's worth of rice. I can eat this for a month and still be full. As for the side dishes, I went to the vegetable market to buy some seeds.
Grow it yourself, and sometimes go to your kitchen steward to buy some scraps, and sometimes it’s free of charge.”
I'm going!
Cai Yan was convinced. He finally found out that his housekeeper had said that some court officials were buying unused scraps from him. He didn't care, so he just let the housekeeper give it away for free.
I went, it turned out to be this person!
He actually treats the scraps as treasures.
The other officials also had strange looks in their eyes. Come to think of it, they had also had people come to buy the leftovers for their cooking.
They also thought it was some beggar and didn't take it seriously. It turned out that it was really a court official, or a second-rank official.
Oh my god, especially people with a lower official rank than Wei Zhenzhi, there are people who pick up scraps they don't want, and his rank is higher than mine.
In the past, even if they were beaten to death, they wouldn't believe it. Now that the facts are before them, they can't help it.
But their eyes are really weird.
"Having said this, I have to thank you very much. You are really, really very friendly."
"No, no, you're welcome, as long as you have something to eat."
Cai Yan couldn't bear it. He, he really didn't want to say what happened to the man in front of him.
"Then what are you wearing? You won't just wear this official uniform, right?"
Cai Yan said that the official uniforms of the imperial court are distributed free of charge, and there is no need to spend money. The clothes are also different in the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter. When you are an official, you can receive five sets at a time, a total of twenty sets. From then on, one year
You can get two sets for free in one season, for a total of eight sets.
This official uniform costs at least dozens of taels. The higher the rank, the more it costs. For example, Xie Ji's outfit costs ten thousand taels of silver. But this does not require the officials to pay for it themselves.
, I have to say that this dynasty does not treat officials badly at all.
Even the salary can be regarded as the highest in all dynasties, so reducing the salary can save a lot of expenses.
But you can't just wear court clothes!
Don't take off your clothes when you go back, put on your own clothes.
This piece of clothing, even if it is particularly poor, would cost dozens of taels. For example, Cai Yan himself, a piece of clothing would cost at least a hundred taels.
So, a few dozen taels is not too much.
"It's easy to do the clothes. I went to buy them in the busy market, which was a bit expensive. I gritted my teeth and bought a few pieces of cloth for only 100 cents. Naturally, the ones for my mother were more expensive, 200 cents a piece. This is sometimes a problem.
It’s five hundred coins. It’s better to have my wife, she can make clothes, and her work is not bad at all.”
Damn it!!!
Cai Yan couldn't believe it. Can a cloth worth a hundred dollars be worn?
"Are you sure you can wear a hundred cents worth of cloth???"
Cai Yan was surprised. He thought the cheapest clothes cost dozens of taels, at least a few taels.
"Why can't I wear it? I wear it well, but it's not as comfortable as the court dress. It would be great if this court dress could be sold for money. It's so luxurious."
Wei Zhenzhi said that he also wanted to sell the court clothes.
In Cai Yan's eyes, this is truly an unparalleled saying.
He was convinced, really convinced.
However, he has never seen what Baiwen's clothes look like?
But this person actually wants to sell the court clothes. If it can still be sold, it will be a crime of disrespect.
"Then other things don't cost money?"
Cai Yan continued, "Don't you need to treat others? Don't you need to give surprises to your subordinates? Don't you have servants?"
"No, there are only four people in my family, so why bother? If the house leaks, you have to fix it. You just need to go up the mountain to get some firewood and fix it yourself. As for other supplies, they cost about tens of dollars.
Wen, three hundred wen a month is enough, I am satisfied."
Wei Zhenzhi continued, saying that he was really satisfied. He thought that when he was a child, he had no place to eat and could only chew tree bark.
This is enough, what else do you need?
He has already realized his dream, achieved fame and glory, has a wife with extraordinary love, and a son to continue the family line. What else does he need?
Damn it!!!
In the eyes of others, it is a bit unbelievable.
This person really, really broke through their cognition.
He gave him seven thousand taels for free, right?
"Three hundred yuan a month..."
When Xie Ji walked to the door, he heard these words, "Three Hundred Wen", this, this man is really thrifty.
I don't know how to describe him.
"Prime Minister."
When everyone saw Xie Ji coming, they all got down from their seats.
Xie Ji waved his hand, walked to the main seat and sat down, but he was so exhausted that he didn't even know how he walked back.
"Gao Shan, please take my share of the land deed to the largest yard on East Street and give it to Wei Shilang, and give him a hundred pieces of fine cloth."
Xie Ji thought about Wei Zhenzhi. There was some information about him in the original body. He was really poor, but he saved up his salary. He was really a miser. After reading the original body, he didn't read it again. After all, he didn't want to
Don't worry about other people's lives, the money has been given to you, it's your business how you want to spend it.
If you starve to death, it's your own business, and your original self won't care.
But if it was Xie Ji, he actually admired this person a little bit. Although he couldn't do it himself, it didn't stop him from admiring this kind of person.
After all, once you become an official, who doesn't want to live a life of extravagance, but it is really rare that this person can maintain his original intention.
Although his ability is a bit lacking, his character is worthy of praise.
It is really rare to have a wife who does not abandon the chaff and does not despise poverty.
No matter how poor his ability is, this kind of thing still needs praise, but he doesn't know what his ability is?
After all, he is the top pick, no matter how bad his ability is, he can't be any worse!
It's just that his behavior is a bit disappointing to the original person. After all, he was made the Minister of Household Affairs to stand up for He Yan, but he didn't expect that he would be left out.
The original person wanted to change his mind more than once, but there was no suitable candidate.
Just let him stay!
It's better than nothing.
"Prime Minister, this, this is not necessary."
Wei Zhenzhi was a little flattered. The prime minister actually wanted to give him a house and cloth. This was the first time he had seen him!
He has never seen Xie Ji give rewards to his subordinates. Will he arouse the resentment of others this time?
"I gave it to you. Do you want me to break my promise?"
Xie Ji pretended to be angry and said that this original person was true to his word and had such a good character that he inherited it.
I feel a bit like a domineering president, Xie Ji complained in his mind.
But even for himself, he rarely returns to what he says. After all, once a word is spoken, it is difficult to follow it up.
"No, no, no, the Prime Minister is really flattering to me. Thank you, Prime Minister. We will have a good relationship for a hundred years."
Wei Zhenzhi didn't expect the Prime Minister to give him so many things. He really, really wanted to risk his life for the Prime Minister.
This is exactly what the saying goes: A scholar dies for the one who knows himself.
But in this way, my minister may be settled, but I didn't expect that I would always have smooth sailing.
Looking at other people, they have been ups and downs for half their lives, but looking at myself, I have been on a meteoric rise, and I have been blessed with good luck since I won the top prize.
Others all said how dangerous the officialdom was and how those people calculated things.
He didn't realize that he drank tea every day and was very leisurely. In this way, he went straight up to the position of minister.
He was very proud of himself and looked envious of others.
He felt that Xie Ji was his great benefactor. Ever since he won the first prize, the prime minister had come to him, and he didn't have to do anything to directly let him rise to the top.
