Be a master through ancient times

"Who are you?" Niu Er was terrified and asked loudly when Zhang Hu tied his hands and feet and carried him into the carriage.

"Leave it alone for now." Chu Ci chuckled, and then got into the carriage.Zhang Hu whipped his whip lightly, and the horse started to gallop.

Niu Er was lying in the carriage, his mind was in a state of restlessness, his face was blue and white, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.

When he arrived at the door of the house, Zhang Hu got out of the car and opened the door, then drove the carriage into the yard, and then dragged Niu Er out of the carriage and threw it in the yard.

After Chu Ci got off the car, he sat in front of Niu Er and said, "I see you guessed all the way, have you guessed who I am?"

"Are you... the person sent by shopkeeper Yang of Chengxi Rice Shop?" Niu Er tentatively asked.

"No."

"Are you someone sent by Xinglong Winery?"

"No." Tsk, there are so many people offended.

"Then who are you? This hero, the villain really doesn't know when I offended you. If I offend you, I will make amends here. Please let me go!" Niu Er burst into tears, not knowing How did you provoke them?

"Then I'll make you understand. The person who asked me to find you is Qian—" Chu Ci panted deliberately, and sure enough, before he could say his name, Niu Er called out, "It's Qian Jingwang Right? It must be him! This bastard!"

He seemed very excited, but the corner of his eye was on Chu Ci, as if observing his expression.Chu Ci also noticed this, and he said calmly, "Who told you to go to him today?"

Niu Er's heart skipped a beat, he even knew this, it seems that it really is him!

"Didn't I say I wouldn't tell this? Why did he send you to find me?"

"He said he couldn't trust you, and asked us to see if you were dishonest."

"I promise I won't say anything! I only found out that he is from the Imperial College by accident! If I hadn't lost my temper yesterday, I wouldn't have gone there to find him!"

Chu Ci felt that the truth was about to come out, so he held his temper and struck while the iron was hot: "You also know how he is, why can't you think about it so much? How about you tell me the whole thing and let me judge it? If you really have something to hide, I will let you go and tell him that you have been dealt with, how about it?"

When Niu Er heard the word "handling", his mind was split. He didn't expect him to be so cruel!

"I tell you, you must let me go!" Niu Er grabbed the straw and pleaded.Then, he told the truth about the things he knew.

It turned out that Qian Jiancheng paid usury through a shopkeeper.He has been lending loan sharks for two or three months. Because the interest here is two cents less than other houses, there are quite a lot of people who borrow it.

Niu Er also borrowed ten taels of silver, but what he got was only nine taels of silver, and the deducted five taels of silver was called shoe and sock money.Interest has been accrued since the day the money was lent out. About 340 Wen would be repaid a day, accumulatively repaid in one month.

Niu Er was lucky in the first month, and he quickly paid back the money with interest.In the second month, he borrowed another 20 taels, thinking that with more capital, he would win more money, but this month, he lost everything.

In desperation, he had to go around to borrow money first to repay the principal and interest needed every day.During that time, he borrowed money from all his relatives and neighbors before he could afford to pay off the interest. Then he arranged for the money collectors to let them relax temporarily and allow him to pay back the money with the interest next month.

Unexpectedly, when the third month came, the shopkeeper suddenly said that he would get back all the money he put down within three days.Isn't this killing them?For a time, more and more people sold their property and sold their children and daughters as servants.

Niu Er is a bachelor. He has neither wife nor children, only the two rooms left by his parents when they were still alive.This is the ancestral home, it cannot be sold!If it is sold, his parents will be very angry down below.

Niu Er thought about whether he could go to the shopkeeper to intercede, and give it a few more days.So, I ambushed outside the shopkeeper's house, thinking about going in after dark to have a discussion with him.

Unexpectedly, when it got dark, he saw the shopkeeper quietly leaving the door carrying a box and walking towards a certain place.

Niu Er followed him all the way, and finally saw him stop at the back wall of the Imperial College, tapped the wall a few times, and soon, a person climbed down along the wall.

He listened carefully in a corner, and found that the shopkeeper called him Mr. Qian, and handed him the box in his hand, saying that he had collected a few hundred taels.

Niu Er felt a little regretful. If he had known that he was holding money, he should have rushed out halfway.Suddenly, he thought again, this Mr. Qian is probably the one who put loan sharks behind his back, right?If it weren't for these people lending usury, how could he owe so much debt?So much so that you have to sell the house to pay off the debt?Bah, officials are not good people!

Niu Er stopped his thoughts of pleading, but another thought popped up.During the Jiayou period, this usury was a matter that the people did not raise officials and did not investigate. The court turned a blind eye to it.But now it is the second year of Tianhe, and the current emperor regards loan sharks very seriously, and many people who have killed people have been sent to prison.If he threatened the official with this matter, wouldn't he not have to pay back the money?

After figuring out the joints involved, Niu Er immediately relaxed a lot.My hands itch when I relax.Niu Erdian happily walked towards the casino with the borrowed money.

The next day, he came to the Imperial College.The guard at the mountain gate wouldn't let him in.Niu Er said, let them report to Mr. Qian that the people from the tea shop in Xiushui Street have something to discuss with him.

Hearing his triumphant tone, the servant at the door thought he was someone important, so he went to report immediately.When Qian Jiancheng heard about this place, his face immediately changed, because this was the place where he asked us to put loan sharks.

Niu Er was let in, and before he could reach the yard, he was bumped into by Qian Jiancheng who was rushing over here.Qian Jiancheng dragged him to the back. After Niu Er stood still, he introduced himself and explained clearly the purpose of his visit.Qian Jiancheng looked at the villain in front of him, and immediately rejected his request.Then Niu Er threatened to report him for usury, not only canceled the account, but also got some money from him to spend.

Unexpectedly, this silver came from death money!

After listening to Chu Ci, he sighed with emotion, and it turned out that the Skynet was restored, and it was sparse but not missing.As long as something is done, it will leave traces.

Chu Ci gagged the bull and asked Zhang Hu to put him in the kitchen.Niu Eryi cursed them in his heart all night, completely unaware that a fire broke out in Yuchunfang that night, and burned down two rooms of Niu Er's house.If it weren't for the distance between his house and other people's houses, the whole workshop might be set on fire.

Chu Ci didn't know about it yet, so he wrote down what Niu Er said and what he saw and heard on the pleadings, and sued that daring Qian Jiancheng.

The next morning, Chu Ci escorted Niu Er to the Yamen, and he wanted to sue Jiancheng Qian himself.Because he lives in the sixth rank, the magistrate of the seventh rank dare not neglect, and this has something to do with loan sharks, so he immediately sent someone over to search the shopkeeper's house.After a search, he found a large box under his bed, which was full of notes with fingerprints, and the amount ranged from 20 to [-] taels.

After the evidence was complete, the county magistrate sent someone to invite Qian Jiancheng to come over. Before the imperial court ordered the removal of the official, he still had to give the imperial court officer due respect.

Because there are all the witnesses and material evidence, it is useless for Qian Jiancheng to say that he has broken the sky, so he can only honestly admit that he was confused for a while.Isn't the reason why he was promoted so quickly because he usually manages a lot?

A supervisor costs 45 taels a month, and only a little over 500 taels a year!And for loan sharks, all the interest added up, can earn almost this amount in a month.

Because the evidence was solid, the county magistrate immediately handed over the paper to the magistrate, and the magistrate uploaded the matter to the magistrate.

"Hmph! Unexpectedly, the Guozijian is also a place where filth and filth are hidden. As a supervisor, he took the lead in violating the national ban. With such a person staying inside, what good things can I, a student of the Great Wei, learn?" The emperor finished watching After the book, he was furious.

"Please appease the emperor. Although Qian Bingwang is daring, but the sky net is restored, he was finally discovered."

"Thanks to Zhuangyuan Lang's insight, otherwise... Huh! The decree will be handed down. First, Qian Gangwang will be hit with [-] boards, and then sent to prison. After three days, the whole family will be distributed to the frontier, and he will not be able to return to Beijing for ten years! Maybe it was because I was too kind in the past, and I only locked them up for a few years, so that these people can wait for luck and continue to harm the common people. Today I will kill chickens and monkeys, so that those people will not dare to take action again."

"Your Majesty is wise."

Chu Ci, who made a good report this time, received a reward of 20 taels of silver, but when he returned to the Imperial College after finishing the case, he found that Wang Jijiu's attitude towards him was not as good as usual.

Chu Ci didn't understand at the beginning, but when he hinted that Chu Ci should not act without authorization in the future, he understood.Wang Jijiu blamed him for not going through his hands, so he revealed the matter.

Chu Ci thought, Wang Jijiu, as the head of a department, would definitely not want his department to appear in front of the Holy One in this way. There is a high probability that major events will be reduced to smaller ones, how can they be as happy as they are now?When he heard about the location where Yuchunfang was on fire in the morning, he immediately understood in his heart that he was clearly trying to kill someone to silence him!Hitting a snake for seven inches, he would naturally not leave any hidden dangers for himself.

Different from Wang Jijiu, it was the other officials under the outer court who treated Chu Ci with respect, for fear that they would annoy him somewhere and be seized by him to sue him.

Chu Ci didn't care about these things. Those who wanted to achieve great things since ancient times, how could they be dragged down by these small things.Dealing with the moths of the Guozijian and deterring other officials will be good for him to carry out drastic reforms in the future.

Of course, the first thing to deal with now is the matter of the class name.Chu Ci called He Ping in at the door again, and asked him to find Wen Ran from Class B.

He Ping went there for a while, and when he came back, there was another person behind him.

"Student Wen Ran, meet Chu Siye." Wen Ran bowed expressionlessly.

"Wen Ran is here, sit down." Chu Ci raised his head and smiled.

"If Si Ye has something to say, just talk about it. Wen Ran has to go back to review the book after we finish." Wen Ran, who has delicate eyebrows and eyes, looks like a little girl, but his temperament is not like a little girl. .

"Okay, then I'll just say it straight. I selected nine of you to be the temporary squad leader, and confirmed the class name and class training. Yesterday morning, the remaining eight classes have been handed over. Why haven't your class Hand it over?"

"They didn't report it, how could I know?" Wen Ran snorted, feeling that Chu Ci knew about the consultant.

"So did you take the initiative to ask everyone about it?"

"Why should I ask? Didn't you say that the squad leader is the leader of the first squad? How can I ask them in a low voice?"

"It's about asking, it's about discussing, it's not about humiliating, flattering, and it's not about being superior to everyone. As the saying goes, if you want others to respect yourself, you must first learn to respect others. Today, I am only in a small class Here, you can’t even learn to communicate with others, if you become an official someday, and the people below will collude to deceive you, will you wait for them to take the initiative to report?” Chu Ciyu said earnestly.

Wen Ran lowered his head and said nothing, but seeing him like this, he seemed a little touched.

"Wen Ran, you have to understand that the higher a person's position, the greater the responsibility and the more things to do. If you can't even do this little thing well, how can you make others trust you? How about giving you more responsibilities? Now go back to Class B and ask everyone for their opinions. After school, hand over the note, okay?"

"Yes." Wen Ran agreed.

After school ended, Wen Ran really handed over the name and training of their class.

Chu Ci sorted out the papers, and he wanted to take the papers outside, replace them with wooden signs and bring them back.

On the third day, the students came outside the teaching dormitory and stayed at the door for a long time, because there was a sign under the door frame with the name of their class written on it.There are also two wooden signs nailed up inside the teaching dormitory, on which their class training is written.

Looking at these things, the students couldn't tell what it was like, but they suddenly felt a sense of intimacy.

……

After the Dragon Boat Festival, there were more snakes, insects, rats and ants. Chu Ci also followed the example of others, wearing a herbal sachet on his body, and accompanied by realgar wine to repel the insects.

Chu Ci was sitting in a remote corner of the dining hall having a drink early, when the students complained suddenly.

"Have you noticed in the past few days that the dishes in our dining hall seem to be a lot less!"

"Yes, I found out too! In the past, there were at least a dozen dishes, but these days it has gradually decreased, and now there are only five. There are two meat dishes left, and only three vegetarian dishes."

"Could it be that the cook inside stole our food, let me go in and ask him!"

"Yes, ask them why they do this!"

These students talked left and right, and instantly stirred up the atmosphere. Some of the students who had eaten honestly also put down their chopsticks and began to crusade.At this moment, they seem to be the embodiment of justice.

Seeing that they were about to enter the back kitchen, a voice sounded faintly from the side: "There is no need to go to the kitchen to ask, this is my decision, just come and ask me."

Everyone looked around, and saw a person standing up in the corner, and turned to face them.

"Chu Siye, what's going on? Can you explain to us why our meals are being deducted."

"How can it be said that it is a deduction? Don't you have enough to eat? In the dining hall, more than half of the dozen or twenty dishes are prepared every day, which shows that everyone does not actually need them. Instead of waiting It’s better to reduce a few dishes if it’s a waste.”

"However, it's difficult for everyone to choose. If we don't have more choices, how can we eat?" Some students are very picky, and they don't want to eat one dish.

"Since it is difficult to adjust to everyone, then this difficult person must learn to adapt. If you go to a remote place to work in the future, if you don't eat this or that, aren't you going to starve to death there?"

"Isn't everyone like Chu Siye? You are from a peasant family. As long as you have money, what can't you buy?" Someone secretly said such a sentence, which is equivalent to satirizing Chu Ci's pettiness in person.

"Yes, it is precisely because I am a farmer that I have a deeper understanding of how difficult people's livelihood is. Everyone should be able to memorize the poem "Compassion for Farmers", but few people can follow it. Because your money comes It’s so easy, you don’t even need to ask, someone will deliver it for you. I don’t think a person who relies on the shade of his ancestors has the right to look down on ordinary people who are self-sufficient.”

"Chu Siye, if you insist on reducing the dishes, we won't eat anything from the dining hall in the future!" They couldn't say anything about Chu Ci, so they threatened themselves, hoping to make Chu Ci change their mind.

"Okay, you don't have to eat the things in the hall. Then, I hope you can bring all the food you need for the past ten days on the day of rest and bathing, because I will have people patrol the periphery of the Imperial College day and night to prevent outsiders There is a chance to help you." Chu Ci smiled slightly, could it be that they thought he was the grandparent at home?When they heard that they didn't eat, they screamed heartily.

Seeing that everyone was too angry to speak, Chu Ci added another one: "By the way, I will ask someone to watch at the vegetable window tomorrow at noon. It is no longer up to you to decide how much to serve."

Seeing everyone's stunned expressions, Chu Ci laughed meaningfully, and it's time for them to experience the canteen aunt's cooking skills.

"The purpose of this is naturally to prevent you from wasting food. You can eat as much as you have beaten. If the remaining amount exceeds a certain amount, you will be punished."

Some students had already stomped away, and the other students present also looked angry.They just thought that Chu Siye was a good person, but they didn't expect him to show his true colors so soon!

I was angry at the Guozijian, but now even eating is restricted, so what's the point of living!

Chu Ci ignored them, but sat down again and slowly tasted the delicious food in front of him.He wants to see how strong this group of people can be!
