The pension plan of the ancient cannon fodder woman

Chapter 336 Chen Shi Checks Attendance

"Sister Lotus is Sister Lotus. I don't think I'll be able to surpass her in my lifetime."

Wang Zhi couldn't help but sigh, and the rest of the people looked at him as if he were a fool.

"You actually want to surpass Lotus? Are you drunk?"

Wang Bin reached out and touched Wang Zhi's forehead. It wasn't hot.

"Liangzi, help Ah Zhi go to bed. Give me the light. I want to read in the kitchen."

Wang Bin felt under a lot of pressure. He had just been promoted to a formal detective. Even if Detective Jin said that Lord Chen would not blame him, he would not relax.

It’s not his business whether he is to blame or not, he just has to work hard.

"I'm not drunk. I want to watch it too."

Wang Zhi rushed back to the room, took out the rules, and read them with Wang Bin.

Liu Bai silently added two more oil lamps for the three people, and then went to sleep.

Su He hadn't actually fallen asleep in the room yet. It was just past eight o'clock and she wasn't sleepy at all.

She was leaning on the quilt thinking about something. After two months of work, the dormitory next to Hezhuang had been built. Now all she had to do was prepare some furniture and she could move in.

But Su He doesn't plan to let anyone move in for the time being, nor does he plan to tell anyone else.

Old Zhao and his family have signed an indentureship, and Su He plans to let them continue making furniture and then slowly fill up the dormitory building.

Just let Old Man Zhao and his family clean the house regularly.

If possible, she hopes that no one will ever live in this house in her lifetime.

She has already finished writing five notebooks.

Last month, Su He received another 5,000 taels of silver in share.

By the way, it’s time to hand over the proceeds from the tea stall.

Su He slapped his forehead and took out the account book for the previous three months.

She decided to make a comprehensive table.

Just hand it in tomorrow. Anyway, she doesn't have to prepare to memorize the rules. Su He is not bragging. She reviews from time to time. Now that the exam is really coming, she feels relaxed.

So she leisurely entered the space and made a table.

The next morning, Su He went out in high spirits, followed by the three Wang brothers who looked listless.

Last night, the three of them read the rules for three hours and only went to bed after they extinguished the oil lamps.

But when I woke up the next day, I didn't remember a single one.

This strange group of four people happened to be seen by Chen Shi.

Su He didn't expect Chen Shi to come to the yamen today. She was surprised for a second and then immediately greeted him.

"Mr. Chen, good morning. Have you had breakfast?"

Chen Shi was also affected by Su He's enthusiasm and replied somehow.

"Good morning, I ate at home."

Wang Bin and others behind immediately raised their heads and chests and greeted him.

"Hello, Lord Chen!"

Chen Shi nodded slightly and looked at Su He again.

"You have a mission today too?"

Su He shook her head, "No need to paint today, I have something to report to Master Ge, Master Chen, you too?"

"Well, I'll talk to Uncle Ge about the exam the day after tomorrow."

The two of them walked side by side very naturally, and the three Wang brothers behind them silently slowed down their pace and successfully avoided them.

"So scary, brother, how can Sister Hehua not be nervous? I feel like Lord Chen has a murderous aura."

"Oh my god, I forgot to bring the rules with me. I was thinking of taking a break during the day."

Wang Zhi and Wang Liang were startled. Wang Bin silently took out three books on "Fishing" from his arms. No, "Rules of the Yamen".

"If I rely on you guys, I'll never get ahead in my life. You two are brainless."

Wang Bin picked up the two rules and patted his two younger brothers on the head.

Wang Zhi and Wang Liang grinned foolishly, holding on to their own rules, and followed Wang Bin to find a place to slack off.

On this side, Su He was chatting with Chen Shi about his tea stall.

"Although this year is a disaster year, I think it is a disaster year for the poor. The rich will not save money on food and drink. As long as the food is attractive enough, we can earn money from them. Our tea stall has been open for more than three months, and the profit during this period is not bad. I have brought 50% of the profit. I am going to report to County Magistrate Ge later. Sir, if you have something important, I will wait in the side room. I am not in a hurry."

Su He was very sensible. She could tell Chen Shi about this matter at any time, and she didn't dare to compete for time with Chen Shi.

"Come in and listen, it's not a big deal."

After Chen Shi said this, he didn't say anything else. Su He tactfully took two steps back and followed him to the study.

When the yamen runner at the door saw Chen Shi coming, he immediately knocked on the door to remind him, and then saluted respectfully.

"Go back."

Chen Shi said this to the yamen runners.

Su He smiled at the two people guarding the door and followed them into the study.

The study door was not closed. Su He guessed that Chen Shi was very skilled in martial arts and might be able to sense if someone outside was eavesdropping.

"Uncle Ge, the new magistrate of Nanxun is on his way."

"Oh? Who is it?"

"The nephew of the Minister of Personnel, Zhou Yunzhi."

County Magistrate Ge nodded but said nothing.

"Why did you come so early today?"

Magistrate Ge obviously had the same question as Su He.

"I'm here to check attendance, Uncle Ge. Is the notebook with you or with the master?"

Su He subconsciously looked up at County Magistrate Ge, only to see that he looked speechless.

"Ashi, you can't just turn a blind eye and let them go. You know very well that they want to take a day off to read books these two days."

Chen Shi said seriously, "The rules are tested every year, and self-disciplined people have already started preparing. If you want to pass it by studying hard in the past two days, it's impossible."

County Magistrate Ge had no way to deal with this stubborn donkey, so he sent the man away first.

"You didn't find it at Master's place?"

"No, he's late."

Even with her head down, Su He could feel County Magistrate Ge's powerlessness.

"Lotus, what brings you here today?"

County Magistrate Ge decided to end this suffocating topic.

Su He quickly took out the form he had made yesterday and a thick stack of banknotes.

"Sir, this is the profit of the tea stall for three months. I have also brought the detailed account book with me. Please take a look at it."

County Magistrate Ge picked up the silver notes and began to count them. One note was worth five hundred taels, and there were 14 in total.

“Is this three months’ profit?”

"No, it's fifty percent."

Business was initially a little down due to the hail, but later Suhe introduced barbecue and profits suddenly went up again.

"Fifty percent for three months is 7,000 taels, and a month is more than 2,000 taels. Does this mean that the tea stall can make nearly 5,000 taels of profit a month?"

"Sir, this is the summer vacation, the weather is hot, and our ice drinks are selling well. When the weather gets cooler, business will slow down."

"However, I will try to introduce some new foods and strive to increase profits and increase tax revenue for our government."

Look, his capable subordinate.

There is no need to arrive early, but he came so early and brought so much tax revenue to the government.

The largest inn in Guangyuan only collects 4,000 taels of tax a month. His subordinates are so capable.

County Magistrate Ge just felt that he had regained his face.

He caught a glimpse of Chen Shi still refusing to leave and couldn't help but show off.

"Ashi, you may not know this, but He Hua is not only good at business and painting, but she also knows the government rules by heart. If you don't believe me, you can test her."

As the person who was being shown off by County Magistrate Ge, Su He felt very ashamed.

Fortunately, she has not given up reviewing the rules during this period, so she is not afraid even if she is tested now.

It's not that Chen Shi doesn't believe it, but he can't stand County Magistrate Ge being so proud.

"Articles 300 to 400 of the Code."

"Article 300 of the Yamen Rules: Constables shall be judged according to their years of service..."

"Articles 620 to 688."

"........."

Looking at Su He who didn't pause for even a second, Chen Shi fell into rare silence.

"Haha, Ah Shi, I have a handwritten rule book here, do you want to check if there are any mistakes?"

Su He almost laughed out loud. County Magistrate Ge was making fun of Chen Shi for not being able to remember the rules.

How could Chen Shi bear it? He was a man who even dared to mock the emperor.

"You will take the exam the day after tomorrow as well."

He didn't even call him Uncle Ge. Chen Shi said something harsh and wanted to leave, but he saw Su He with his head down.

"Su Hehua, you don't have to take the exam the day after tomorrow. I'll give you full marks."

After saying that, Chen Shi opened the door and went out to find his master. He had not forgotten about the attendance matter.

"This brat is meddling in my affairs."

County Magistrate Ge complained a few words and turned to look at Su He.

"Hehua, you've done well. Haha, I can't give you a promotion for now because all the positions around me are full. But don't worry, if there's a vacancy, you'll definitely be the one to take it."

Su He was at a loss whether to laugh or cry after hearing this, she didn't mean that.

“You should run this tea stall well. If you have any difficulties, please tell me. I will do my best to help you.”

"Sir, I just happen to be busy. I have already thought of food for the winter, but I need to make some tools that require iron."

Su He was not polite and immediately made a request.

When County Magistrate Ge heard about his heart attack from Su He, he muttered to himself that these young people were just too straightforward.

"Try to save as much as possible. This is iron."

Although County Magistrate Ge felt distressed, he approved the note anyway.
