Your Majesty, please resign again

Chapter 149 Is it worth it? (Come here, today is a day worth 10,000!)

Built-in library.

Teng Shizhong sat upright in the office, sipping hot tea very comfortably. This was his habit all along. He would have a cup of it early in the morning every day, especially in the winter. After drinking a cup of hot tea, he smiled slightly. Sweat makes the whole body very wet.

Teng Shizhong was the chief manager of Neizangku after Lu Yining. He took office at an excellent time. It was just when the shopping mall started to make profits. He invested heavily in the mall with Neizangku, and the mall also gave him great returns. During his During his tenure, Neizangku reached its peak, and he was highly praised by Empress Cao and the officials.

"Don't be too comfortable these days!"

He sighed softly.

But someone was unwilling to let him feel comfortable. A Kong Muguan ran over, and Teng Shizhong's face darkened: "What are you doing in such a hurry so early in the morning?"

Kong Muguan looked a little flustered: "The people from the Third Division are here!"

Hearing this, Teng Shizhong immediately waved his hands and said, "Just say I'm not here."

Kong Muguan said helplessly: "I'm afraid it won't work. The person coming is Judge Sansi Duzhi. If you don't see him, he might find his way to the official's house."

Teng Shizhong was suddenly shocked and said: "Zhang Heng, this is really inevitable. Our inner storage warehouse is still suffering from his lingering shadow."

As he said this, his buttocks were firmly glued to the chair.

Kong Muguan glanced at it and said, "Then what should we do now?"

Teng Shizhong's eyes rolled around, but he finally nodded and said: "Please come in, Zhang Sanyuan... No, I will greet you myself!"

Teng Shizhong followed Kong Muguan outside, and he saw a very tall, straight young man, wearing a sixth-grade official uniform. His temperament was very outstanding. In the inner storage room where people were coming and going, even People passing by had to turn around and look at him.

Teng Shizhong said: "It is indeed him."

Zhang Heng turned around and saw Teng Shizhong. He took the lead and said with a smile, "Master Teng, you're welcome."

Teng Shizhong did not dare to be careless and quickly returned the favor: "Thank you, thank you."

Zhang Heng grinned: "Businesskeeper Teng Da is joking, you are not asking me for your blessing, this is clearly the blessing of the official family."

Teng Shizhong laughed when he heard this: "Isn't that right? Everyone in the world has to rely on the blessings of the official family. Come on, it's cold here, come inside and talk."

Zhang Heng came to the shopkeeper's house and said with some nostalgia: "The decoration here has not changed much."

Teng Shizhong smiled and said: "Ms. Lu's aesthetics is excellent. I am a rough guy, and messing around has ruined Ms. Lu's craftsmanship. It's just like things in a shopping mall. I, Old Teng, haven't changed anything at all. Everyone in the storehouse said that I followed Lu’s rules, and if the mall does a good job, all the credit goes to Mrs. Lu.”

Zhang Heng smiled when he heard this: "So Shopkeeper Teng is the smartest person in the world. Don't bother is the king. Saying that the credit belongs to Madam Lu is just saying that. The final credit belongs to Shopkeeper Teng." no."

Teng Shizhong nodded and smiled: "It is said that Zhang Sanyuan is the most intelligent person in the world. It is true. Zhang Sanyuan sees things so thoroughly that he deserves to be called a wise person..."

Teng Shizhong lowered his head and thought for a while and said: "...I won't play charades with you anymore. I know your purpose of coming here today, but you can't do it, at least you can't do it here."

Zhang Heng's expression did not change, he nodded and said with a smile: "Can you tell me the reason?"

Teng Shizhong smiled bitterly and said: "Wang Yaochen, who was the envoy to the Third Division, was very disgusted with the Neicang Treasury. You said that it would be fine if the borrowed money is not repaid, but you said in the book that you would take the Neicang Treasury back to the Third Division.

What's going on?

Can the Neizangku be taken back to the Sansi? There are so many people who depend on the Neizangku for food. He will take it if he says it. Isn't this a joke?

At that time, the superiors said that from now on, no one is allowed to lend money to the Third Division. Anyone who dares to lend money should go and get it back. If anyone doesn't come back, he will pack his head and take it to the police. Where can I go?

How dare you borrow money!"

Zhang Heng nodded and said: "It's a difficult time now. I have to borrow a sum of money to go. What do you think I should do?"

Teng Shizhong suddenly felt a surge of anger in his heart. He thought that Neicangku was a mere sixth-grade official who dared to comment. In desperation, he wanted to retort, but Kong Muguan next to him realized Teng Shizhong's emotions.

, immediately interrupted: "Hey, do you two want some tea? I'll make some for you two."

These words immediately woke up Teng Shizhong.

Zhang Heng did not deliberately embarrass him, but came to ask for his opinion, or in other words, to ask him to do something.

Xiao Jiujiu in Tengshi Center immediately started making calculations.

Although he, Teng Shizhong, relies on the Cao family for his livelihood, no one can take away favors. Teng Shizhong is a person who knows how to retain favors very well.

This can be seen from his treatment of Lu Yining's office and the shopping mall. Although Lu Yining was cleared out of the internal storage warehouse, he did not touch Lu Yining's office or the shopping mall. This was leaving a way out.

If Lu Yining has the opportunity to come back in the future and sees this, he must give him some face from Teng Shizhong.

Although Zhang Heng himself was only a sixth-rank official and was indeed nothing in Bianjing City, in the eyes of those with eyes and ears, Zhang Heng was the most popular person in the world.

A sixth-grade official is nothing in Bianjing City, but what about a sixth-grade official who is less than twenty years old?

Let’s look at the background behind Zhang Heng.

Zeng Gongliang, the prefect of Kaifeng, was his teacher.

Wu Yu, deputy privy envoy, was his advisor.

Even Prime Minister Jia Changchao was his mentor!

Moreover, they are close ministers of the royal family, and they know the preferences of the officials better. They all know that the officials care about Zhang Heng. Zhang Heng has been promoted to the sixth rank official in just three years since he was elected.

, and now he is directly assigned to the extremely important assignment of the Third Division Judge!

What does it mean to be simple in the emperor's heart? This is it.

Leave a favor to such a person, and the future will be smoother!

Teng Shizhong hurriedly said: "Yes, you want to drink tea, you want to drink tea, if you hadn't reminded me, I would have been rude, hurry up, make tea, make tea, forget it, I'll do it!"

The tea sets, tea leaves, and water were all ready-made, and they were quickly boiling.

Zhang Heng was not in a hurry and looked at Teng Shizhong making tea with a smile.

Teng Shizhong said while making tea: "Judge Zhang, it's not that I, Old Teng, don't know how to behave. I really can't make the decision on this matter."

Zhang Heng nodded and said: "I don't mean to embarrass you, I just want you to show me a clear way to see how to lend me the money. Others may not pay back the money, but there is no way I, Zhang Heng, will not pay back the money."

,money, what the hell.”

Teng Shizhong chuckled, isn't it? This is the true God of Wealth.

He didn't know about the other people, but the person in front of him, who was relatively unassuming, was one of the richest people in Dabian Capital City. To others, several million dollars was a huge number, but to this person.

, it is normal to set up a business at will and earn several million a year.

This is not nonsense, the cases are all ready-made.

It’s no wonder that a large shopping mall with built-in warehouses can generate millions of dollars in revenue every year.

Kaifeng Prefecture's government-run trading company and coal mine can easily earn more than one million yuan this year. The original Kaifeng Prefecture was so poor that it only had a face, but now the Kaifeng Prefecture is extremely rich, including those subordinate officials.

I always look at people with my nostrils on when I go out.

As for the annual profits of Lin'an Trading Company, even he, the head of the internal warehouse, would be stunned.

I also heard that the sea trade in Quanzhou was booming, and this man helped start it.

Such a person, who says money is nothing, is probably qualified.

Thinking of this, Teng Shi's heart became a little hot, and he whispered to Zhang Heng: "Judge Zhang, do you have any ideas again? If so, why don't you bring a brother with you?"

Zhang Heng chuckled: "Is it you with the built-in library?"

Teng Shizhong cheered and said: "I'm wrong, I'm wrong, I'm waiting for the internal storage warehouse. What do I mean? How can I be qualified to let you take it?"

Zhang Heng smiled and said: "I have some ideas, but I am poor now."

Teng Shizhong gritted his teeth and said: "Judge Zhang, it's not me, Old Teng, who is unjust for his own benefit. In fact, there needs to be an explanation to get rid of this money. This money can be borrowed from the internal treasury, but if you really have an idea, you need to bring it with you."

If you agree, I can borrow the money with confidence. If anyone in the Neizangku dares to say anything, I will throw the matter in his face!"

Zhang Heng looked at Teng Shizhong.

Teng Shizhong chuckled: "As long as you make a promise, you have the final say on how much you will take."

Zhang Heng didn't nod or shake his head, he just said: "Three million yuan, loan for three months, no interest."

Teng Shizhong smiled bitterly: "This is a lot of money, and you don't give interest... This makes it very difficult for me, Old Teng..."

Zhang Heng just smiled and said nothing.

Teng Shizhong gritted his teeth: "...Sure, that's it, I hope Judge Zhang will live up to me!"

Zhang Heng stood up, drank a cup of hot tea in one gulp, and said with a smile: "Okay, that's it, how long does it take for shopkeeper Teng Da to prepare?"

Teng Shizhong laughed: "At the beginning of next month, as soon as I'm ready, I'll have someone notify the Third Division and have the people from the Third Division come over to sign and sign."

Zhang Heng cupped his hands and thanked him: "Shopkeeper Teng has helped me a lot. I feel relieved about the cooperation. I also feel relieved about the favor of shopkeeper Teng."

Teng Shizhong was overjoyed when he heard this. He waved his hands and said with a smile: "Judge Zhang, you are too polite, you are too polite!"

Zhang Heng settled the important matter and slowly returned to the Third Division, only to see Ding Shougong and others guarding his mansion, all of them with sad faces. Among them, Ji Hui, the grain officer, said with a sad face: "They all said not to do that.

I was eager to reveal all the difficulties. No, I scared Judge Zhang away at once. What should I do next? My legs are miserable!"

Zhang Heng: "..."

Ding Shougong was about to scold Ji Hui when he turned around and saw Zhang Heng and said happily: "Judge Zhang, you didn't run away... No, you are here."

Zhang Heng smiled and said, "What's wrong with you?"

Everyone was laughing.

Zhang Heng shook his head and said with a smile: "Go and do what you have to do. I found that many people have gathered outside to ask for money. Why don't you go and deal with it?"

Ji Hui said with a sad face: "The people below are dealing with it. The same problem now is that we have no money. We can still deal with it now, but next month, we may have to take action."

Zhang Heng nodded and said: "Well, let's all go back and sort out what must be paid within the year. If you are not too anxious, just move it to the end of the year. Once all the taxes are collected, you can pay them together."

Ding Shougong sighed: "I don't have the money to pay for the selection. Even the mice in our warehouse have long since starved to death..."

He suddenly came to his senses and his eyes lit up: "Judge Zhang, what do you mean?"

The rest of the people looked at Zhang Heng expectantly.

Zhang Heng nodded and said: "I borrowed some money, but it's not much, so I have to use it sparingly."

"Ah?" Ji Hui was very surprised, "You can still borrow money, how much have you borrowed, and how dare you still lend us money?"

"What are you talking about!" Ding Shougong scolded Ji Hui, then looked at Zhang Heng and said cautiously: "Judge Zhang, did you really borrow the money?"

Zhang Heng stopped trying to whet their appetites and nodded: "Borrow it from the inner bank, three million guan, for three months, interest-free, and it will be available at the beginning of next month."

As soon as Zhang Heng said these words, the whole family immediately boiled.

"Oh my God, my God, I actually got a loan, hahahaha, my leg is saved, my leg is saved! Hahahahaha!"

This is Ji Hui.

Although the other Kong Mu officials did not lose their composure, they were still quite happy after all and excitedly discussed what the money should be paid for.

Zhang Heng stopped their words and ordered: "This is a lot of money, but there are also many places to use the money. Unless it must be paid this year, it must be postponed to next year. Otherwise, if there is any emergency,

We need money, but if we can’t get it out later, we’ll lose our heads!”

Ding Shougong smiled and said: "Don't worry, we are all old Kongmu here. With three million guan, we can handle the payment of the past 30 million guan. This money is our lifeblood. As long as we don't have to pay, they will

If you are willing to give us a slap in the face, we are willing to do so!”

Zhang Heng couldn't help but laugh, thinking that it's no wonder people outside have such big opinions on Sansi. With your stingy temper, it's only strange that they don't hate you.

However, he understands that as a money-loving person, he is like a housewife from a poor family. She only has a few dollars a month. When she encounters a place to spend money, she would like to break one dollar into a hundred dollars to spend.

, otherwise you won’t be able to care about it at all.

Ding Shougong and others left happily, but Zhang Heng fell into deep thought.

The immediate difficulties are over for the time being, but there will be more and more difficulties in the future.

Nowadays, the Song Empire is full of holes. The little tax collected by the Third Division is like a chef holding a small bottle of pepper and sprinkling a little pepper on a huge cow.

There are holes everywhere, how can we cope with them?

Suddenly Zhang Heng thought: Do you want to get a big one?

With this idea, Zhang Heng's thinking suddenly became clearer.

Countless fantastic ideas came to mind, but the only thing Zhang Heng needed to determine was whether it was worth it.

Zhao Zhen wanted Zhang Heng to find a way to make money for the Song Dynasty court. Zhang Heng had an idea, but what he was thinking about at this time was whether it was worth it.

To be honest, Zhang Heng was very disappointed with the emperors and ministers of the Song Dynasty. Zhao Zhen, Fan Zhongyan, Han Qi, Ouyang Xiu and others were all more upright and upright than anyone else. When they wrote poems and gifts to each other, they praised each other as a gentleman and a member of the country.

And so on, but when it comes to reform, things are done in a mess, and when there is danger, they run faster than anyone else.

Zhao Zhen later took the temple name of Renzong. According to Zhang Heng, it was because of his naughty personality that he could not suppress civil servants, generals, or local wealthy families. In the end, he could only live in poverty and treat the common people

Showing some trivial kindness will not help the huge empire, but will make the already difficult national destiny even worse.

Zhang Heng wonders if finding a way to make money for such monarchs and ministers will make them feel that a peaceful and prosperous age is just around the corner?

Zhang Heng thought about it for a whole night and finally decided to do it.

For no other reason than that, he just wanted to give it a try.

He wanted to give it a try to see if there was any chance of treatment in this country.

Of course, it's not all about family and country feelings. He himself also wants to be promoted.

Hey, if you get promoted by two levels, you might officially enter the ranks of mid-level officials in the Song Dynasty.

Done!
