What's wrong with that old thing?
Qin Feng clearly remembered that he helped him teach officials, but he didn't take any advantage from him, and it was completely useless.Moreover, Su Kui came here for class this morning, why can't he use his son for something, and have to ask his subordinates to come over?
"Is this... a promotion?"
After being stunned for a moment, Qin Feng realized that Gou Caizhe was wearing a brand new official robe. Although it was still green, it was much stronger than their previous one.
Gou Caizhe was a little embarrassed and said: "Yesterday, the Ministry of Officials just issued the official document. The student is now an inspector of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. He is a sixth-rank official. It is all thanks to his mentor. Today, I have something else to do. The three of us want to invite our mentor to dinner. The benefactor appreciates the face."
Qin Feng shook his head as he walked out and said: "No, even though you have been promoted, you are still far away from the purple robe. If you think about it, there are still young and old at home to support, and the entertainment in the officialdom is also indispensable. Spending money. I know you too well, there is no shortage of food and clothing, tell them two, I will take your wish, but you don't need to eat."
Gou Caizhe hesitated for a moment, and said honestly: "Teacher, there is no need to worry. The family background of the three of us is indeed not good, but we have also taken over the work of a counting house in private. We have the ability to be taught by our mentor. It doesn't take much time, but we can do it. Earning a lot of money is enough for a whole family."
At the beginning, Qin Feng was just a kid with no reputation at all, but anyone with a better family background might not be ashamed to study with Qin Feng, so it was Gou Caizhe, the three guys who had no hope of promotion and were excluded by others, came to try their luck.
After saying this, Gou Caizhe was a little apprehensive. After all, the dignified sixth-rank officials were going to work as accountants... He wondered if Qin Feng would think that they had humiliated him, and would not want to recognize them as students.
Qin Feng stopped in his tracks, glanced at Gou Caizhe, and suddenly smiled.
"That's right, keep your chest up!"
Gou Caizhe raised his head subconsciously when he heard the words, as if he had returned to the time when he was practicing in Qinjiazhuang.
Qin Feng reached out and patted him on the shoulder, appreciating: "What are you worried about? I won't eat you. You have done a good job. The Ministry of Civil Affairs can be said to be the most oily place among the six departments, but you have no corruption, no What is there to be ashamed of filling your own pockets and relying on your own ability to make money?"
Gou Caizhe smiled, shook his head and said: "What my teacher said is true, but... this is not in accordance with etiquette after all."
Court officials had to work part-time to support their families. If this news got out, where would the emperor's face go?
So not only the Great Sui Dynasty, but all dynasties and dynasties such things were actually not allowed.
"What kind of impoliteness?" Qin Feng waved his hand and said indifferently: "Let's do it, if something happens, just say that I asked you to do it, even if it makes trouble in the Daxing Palace, I'm not afraid, I want to see , Your Majesty is going to let the officials of the imperial court work for him hungry!"
Chapter 226 Come again?
Since it was getting late, Qin Feng didn't take the carriage at all, but galloped into Daxing City with Gou Caizhe.
It's good that Gou Caizhe still has the foundation of practicing in Qinjiazhuang, otherwise, if any official who was pampered in the Sui Dynasty came, I'm afraid that this short distance would make them fall apart.
All the way into the imperial city, Qin Feng subconsciously stopped in front of the Ministry of War. Unfortunately, the door that was going to clean him up at the beginning disappeared, which made him a little regretful.
Next to the Ministry of War is the Ministry of Civil Affairs. As the second child among the six ministries, the Ministry of Civil Affairs has great responsibilities. It can be said that Shangshu Suwei holds the money bag of the entire Sui Dynasty.
To be honest, Su Wei is not very old, only around 45, but his thin appearance and his anxious expression make people unconsciously add ten years to his age.
"Ziyu is here."
After seeing Qin Feng, Su Wei put down what he was busy with, took a big gulp of the teacup beside him that had long been out of heat, and then smiled wryly: "It was supposed to be me who went to see you at Qinjiazhuang, but There are too many facts at hand, I can't get rid of it, please forgive Ziyu."
"The ministry is serious." Qin Feng has always been respected by others, and I respect others, not to mention that Su Wei came out to support him when he made a big fuss in the Ministry of War, and he had a relationship with Su Kui. Qin Feng cupped his fists respectfully and saluted.
"What's the matter, the minister can ask Bernie to say hello, anyway, the boy has nothing to do at home, how dare he work for the minister."
"Your boy is indeed a lazy one."
With a joke, Su Wei stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Bernie...I want him to come to the Ministry of Accounts to help, but he said that being an official can learn something, so he doesn't want to come at all, you brat!"
After contacting him for such a long time, Qin Feng actually felt that Su Kui's personality was more suitable for being a scholar rather than an official. Perhaps it was because of this that Su Kui, a kid, did not have any reputation in later generations?
But regarding his son, even if Su Kui is also his student, he can't comment much.After all, in this kind of aristocratic family, what you want to do in the future and what you want to do are two different things, and there is no reason for you to choose by yourself.
After a few gossips, Su Wei suddenly said with a serious face: "Ziyu, the old man invited you here today for the liquidation of our Ministry of Civil Affairs."
"You also know that the end of the year is approaching. Although there are still a few months to go, the counties and counties of the Great Sui Dynasty have already sent up the account books for this year, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs is responsible for checking."
This is not surprising. The problem is that Qin Feng still doesn't understand what Su Wei means by calling him here. Is it possible that this old man wants to attract young men?
Su Wei looked at Qin Feng's vigilant expression, and said with a smile: "You boy... Let me tell you the truth, this year is different from previous years, if it's just for accounting, I won't ask you for it. It's just that , next year there will be a war against Nanchen, the soldiers and horses have not moved, and the food and grass will go first. Now it is the most critical moment, and the people in the Ministry of Civil Affairs are a little stretched..."
No matter how busy your Ministry of Civil Affairs is, you can't catch my young man, Qin, can you?
Qin Feng put on an appearance of listening attentively, but he had already made up his mind that he would never accept Su Wei's words.
"Gou Caizhe and the other three have played a very important role in our Ministry of Civil Affairs since they learned arithmetic from you, so I would like to ask you to accept a few more disciples, how about it?"
It's not about catching my young man.
Qin Feng breathed a sigh of relief, but when he thought of teaching from the beginning again, he couldn't help feeling a little dizzy.
After thinking for a moment, Qin Feng asked: "Do you want to teach quickly, or learn slowly like Gou Caizhe and the others?"
In such a short period of time, Qin Feng has already thought of an excuse, and it is impossible to shirk it directly. Not to mention that Su Wei supported him at the beginning, but only that when the whole Daxing City thought Qin Feng was a thief, Su Wei Kui has no intention of leaving, and he is too embarrassed to refuse Su Wei.
That a reasonable excuse is very important.
He knew that Su Wei was in a hurry, and it was impossible to teach slowly, but if he wanted to be quick...
"Of course, the sooner the better!" Su Wei's reaction did not exceed Qin Feng's expectations. He said anxiously: "There are many things this year. Levy or year-end accounting, it can't be delayed!"
Qin Feng spread his hands, made an expression that a clever woman can't cook without rice, and said: "If you want to learn from me, they must have a certain foundation, at least they must be able to understand the big food numbers, don't you always say?"
Suwei people are old and sophisticated, and he knew what this kid wanted to say from the moment Qin Feng spoke, so he said calmly: "You don't need to worry about this matter, in fact, the big food number has long been promoted among the officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs , it’s just that it hasn’t been used in official documents yet.”
Now it was Qin Feng's turn to be shocked. He couldn't believe it and said: "Well... you are not afraid that some officials will tamper with the numbers? 6 and 8 only need one stroke. The difference is not small. If something happens, just I'm afraid you can't afford it, let alone my small body."
Brat, fight with the old man, you should be more tender!
Su Wei said indifferently: "It's not that the old man didn't think of this matter, but it's easy to solve. Wouldn't it be enough to add my Tai Sui number under all the numbers?"
"However, you reminded the old man that His Majesty's consent is still required for this matter. You just wait here, and the old man will go to meet His Majesty right now."
"That...Su Butang, this matter is not urgent, let's discuss it later..."
Before Qin Feng could finish speaking, Su Wei had already run away. His vigorous figure didn't look like an old man close to 50 years old at all, but a young man in his twenties.
Qin Feng, who was stunned in place, looked around, and saw that the officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs were accustomed to it, and they were not at all surprised.
"Teacher, Master Butang is such a quick-tempered person, everyone has already gotten used to it, why don't you just sit and wait?"
Gou Caizhe greeted him with a cup of tea, and excused his boss with a smile.
"No, go ahead and get busy, I'm just looking around."
Qin Feng walked straight to the outside of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, but unfortunately, these officials seemed to be crazy, busy with their work, even if they walked on the road, they were in a hurry, and they had no intention of answering Qin Feng.
"Qin Feng?"
Just when Qin Feng felt that he was out of place with this place, a soft shout sounded from behind. The voice was somewhat familiar, but Qin Feng was a little confused.
