Chapter 745 Only With Ears
Chapter 745 Only With Ears
In the evening, Changlian didn't see his father during dinner, "Mother, hasn't father come back?"
Zhulan put the peeled shrimp meat into the bowl of her youngest son, "Your father is resting in the household department, and he won't be back in the next few days."
Changlian felt that it was the end of the month, and the household department was really busy, so I felt relieved after asking.
Changzhong ate the shrimp meat, "Mother, my son can peel it by himself, you don't have to help him peel it, mother, you can eat it too."
Zhulan handed the peeled prawns to her son's mouth, "Mother knows you can peel them, but I'm just afraid that you will stain your clothes."
This little guy is a little impatient, but he can't control his emotions yet.
In the household department, Zhou Shuren also had dinner, but he didn’t go to rest. He carefully checked the written plan and made sure that there was nothing missing, so he folded it and went shopping in his purse.
He has long felt Mr. Qiu's entanglement with him. Since he met Mr. Xiao, Mr. Qiu has been probing him a lot. It fell on what he wrote. Fortunately, he will cover it after he is careful.
Qiu Yan raised his head to look at Zhou Shuren several times, and every time he frowned, he felt that Zhou Shuren had a solution. He wanted to inquire, but Zhou Shuren was on guard against him. He was a little panicked, but he thought of a way to get money. Mr. Shangshu has thought about it, the Ministry of Households really can't squeeze out money.
Qiu Yan looked at the account book on the table, "Master Zhou, I'm too busy here, can you help me share some?"
Zhou Shuren hooked his palm with his fingertips, with a smile on his face, "Okay."
Qiu Yan expressed his gratitude, "Thank you, if I do the calculations myself, I don't know when I can finish the calculations."
Zhou Shuren took the account book sent by Qiu Yan, he was really rude, and gave half of it, "Master Qiu said thank you, and I will see you. I am also the servant of the household department. Everyone is busy, so how could I be lazy."
There was no smile in Qiu Yan's eyes, "Then leave these to Mr. Zhou."
"good."
Zhou Shuren took the abacus, and he is also very skilled in abacus. Qiu Yan not only wanted to trick him, but also wanted to waste his experience. Unfortunately, Qiu Yan miscalculated.
Qiu Yan raised his head when he heard the sound of the abacus,
His eyes are getting colder and colder. When he first came to the Ministry of Finance, he learned a little bit. Zhou Shuren was proficient when he first came up. He pursed his lips and made a mistake. Tomorrow he will ask Zhou Shuren to help with the calculation. His original intention was that Zhou Shuren He can't finish it without proficiency, and he can mention it in writing tomorrow.
You know, Lord Shang Shu dislikes people who are not helpful, especially when the household department is the busiest, but now, his plan has failed, and Zhou Shuren has shown his ability to settle accounts!
Zhou Shuren felt the gaze, and raised his head with a smile, "Why is Lord Qiu looking at me like this?"
Qiu Yanqian laughed, "I saw that Mr. Zhou is proficient in planning, so I took a few more glances."
Zhou Shurenle explained, "Back in Lizhou, every penny had to be spent carefully. Practice makes perfect, and I gradually practiced it. Once I touched the abacus, it was quite kind."
Qiu Yan felt overwhelmed, "Well, Mr. Zhou is really suitable for the household department."
"I think so."
Qiu Yan didn't want to speak anymore, and he didn't want to see Zhou Shuren's unchanged smiling face again. Instead, he became more urgent. He couldn't calculate slower than Zhou Shuren, so he lowered his head and quickly checked the account books.
Zhou Shuren looked at Qiu Yan. This person is not small. He can understand Qiu Yan. Qiu Yan is also a Jinshi in his thirties. He has come to today step by step in more than ten years. Qiu Yan will be transferred to Master Zhong. If you are convinced, it will not work for him. After all, his qualifications are shallow.
Early the next morning, Xiao Shangshu said to give Zhou Shuren the data, and Zhou Shuren got it in his hands early in the morning.
Xiao Qing handed the data to Zhou Shuren, "It was checked last night. The Ministry of Accounting has wasted a lot of manpower. Now that the calculation is done, you can't even turn back. Have you really thought it through?"
Zhou Shuren held the brochure, he was confident, "The next official has thought it through."
There was a smile on Xiao Qing's serious face, and he just wanted to listen to it again to make himself more confident, "Go get busy, I'll wait for your good news."
Zhou Shuren gripped the booklet tightly, "Yes."
Back in the office room, Zhou Shuren looked through the jewelry and other data first. The quantity is really not small, so he called Jinyan, "Go to Xu's house and ask Mr. Xu about the price of overseas jewelry."
Honestly, "Yes."
Zhou Shuren was not afraid that the Xu family would tell lies. The Xu family owed favors to the Zhou family, and the Xu family was backed by the prince. If he asked the Xu family, the prince would definitely get the news. Can be more smoothly.
When Qiu Yan came back, Zhou Shuren had already read all the data. Some of the damaged calligraphy and paintings were hard-to-find authentic works, but the damage was a little serious, but it didn't matter, it was enough to use it as a gimmick. The user department pays money for repairs.
In the Imperial Academy, Chang Lian went to see the academician and came back, the room was very lively, "What's the matter?"
Mr. Lu curled his lips, "Shen Yang just came back from the palace, and he said that he wanted to treat guests. Don't they all want to join in the fun, and they are discussing where to eat!"
Chang Lian saw the jade pendant on Shen Yang's table at a glance. This is not something that Shen Yang can have. In the past few days, Shen Yang had a very tight life. The house was sold in the past two days, and Shen Yang did not treat guests as lavishly as before. Combined with everyone's reaction, "He got the reward?"
Mr. Lu was so jealous, "Well, the crown prince rewarded the jade pendant."
He also entered the palace a few times, but never got a reward, "Speaking of which, you have also entered the palace a few times, and you haven't received a reward either!"
Chang Lian sat back in his seat, hummed, he was not jealous, but just wondering, how could the crown prince reward Shen Yang, or surpass the emperor?
Shen Yang came over, "Chang Lian, let's have dinner together tonight, shall we go?"
Chang Lian smiled distantly, "Thank you, I won't go tonight."
This reward made him feel that Shen Yang is simply a big trouble!
Shen Yang just asked, he didn't expect Zhou Changlian to go, thinking of the news he heard in the palace, his eyes pondered, "It's raining heavily in the south, money is urgently needed, the household department must be very busy!"
Zhou Changlian squinted his eyes. From time to time, people from the Hanlin Academy entered the palace, so the news was naturally well-informed. He knew what Shen Yang wanted to say. Isn't it just that the household department is short of money?
Chang Lian said indifferently: "Shen Yan, this is not something we should discuss, it is better to only wear ears when entering the palace."
Shen Yang wanted to refute, but swallowed back the words on his lips, he didn't dare to say more, but he was a little happy, so what if he entered the household department, the household department is very difficult now, so he knew that the household department was short of money than he imagined.
At this time, the onlookers had already dispersed. Shen Yang won the crown prince's reward. They had to be wary. Zhou Changlian had the father of a servant in the household department. They also had to be wary. Only with ears.
In the imperial palace, the crown prince received the news, and then relayed it to his father, "Zhou Shuren has marked the attention of the Ministry of Finance to squeeze jewelry."
The emperor hummed, and was more concerned, "Is the jewelry sold overseas expensive?"
The prince didn't dare to hide it, "It's half as expensive as in China. If it's precious gemstone jewelry, the selling price can be doubled."
The emperor narrowed his eyes, "So the tax is still low."
Prince, "... yes."
At this time, the person staring at Shen Yang reported.
Your Majesty, "Zhou Shuren will indeed teach his son."
The prince agrees, thinking to himself, luckily Shen Yang is a fake!
