Three Kingdoms

Zhou Yu is working hard to teach Sun Quan in order to make Sun Quan's future smoother.

Sun Quan was also studying hard, and he did not hesitate to put away his little temper.

This was a very interesting period for Koto, and everything seemed to be in harmony.

Although Sun Quan did not sit back on the throne and issue orders, everything in Jiangdong did not appear to be scattered, at least on the surface it still seemed calm.

But everyone knows that under the calm, there are always undercurrents, just like there are always some discordant voices in Sun Quan's general office...

This voice was caused by Yang Yi.

In General Sun Quan's mansion, the evaluation of Yang Yi by all the scribes and clerks was not very good.

Yang Yi must have been a dog in her previous life.

This is almost the consensus of the petty officials in General Sun's Mansion in Wu County.

At least it has a dog's mouth and bites anyone it catches.

The weather on this day was still good, the wind was sunny and sunny.

The temperature in Jiangdong is rising rapidly, and willow trees have sprouted new branches early, swaying in the breeze. Flowers of various colors also competed to decorate various places in the General's Mansion. But all these beautiful scenery did not put these Jiangdong officials in the general's office in a good mood.

A voice with a slightly draconic voice sounded, ruining the beauty of all the scenery.

It's like the noise of a sledgehammer coming out of a breached wall...

"What to do?" What are you doing? 』

"A pig can figure it out, but you can even make this mistake?" ! 』

"Are those eyeballs on your head?" Didn't you see such a big mistake? 』

"How is this done?" If your eyes are blind, your heart is also blind, right? Can this all be wrong? ! Yang Yi threw a document in front of a clerk, "Take it back and calculate it again!" 』

The little official took it tremblingly, lowered his head and went down with a sullen look. When he got outside the concierge, he gave the next little official a look of kindness, and then left holding his breath.

The next clerk, trembling somewhat, gritted his teeth and said something, and walked into the room.

Sure enough, after a while, Yang Yi's roar sounded again...

Yang Yi's voice was loud. Maybe he was used to it, but it naturally gave people a bad feeling. Even if what Yang Yi said was serious business, the mistakes he made were real mistakes.

"This Lu Linling's..." Several petty officials gathered together in the corner of the front yard, exuding resentment, "Do you really think he, the chief clerk, can go to heaven?" 』

Lu Lingling is from the Book of Songs.

Now it has become a pronoun for a certain person in Jiangdong.

"Isn't it? The boat money application booklet I have in hand has been called back four times! Four times! 』

"We said there was an error in the application calculation, and we accepted it. There was nothing wrong with that slap. It was just a minor oversight. If you made a mistake, you would be scolded and accepted the punishment without complaining! But can this be said in one breath? Can't you tell me all the problems you have? Do you have to give it once and pick the wrong one? 』

"Show off!" He is the most capable in the world! 』

"He really bites whatever he catches... Lu Linling is really not ambiguous at all..."

Naturally, Sun Quan alone has the final say in the official positions in General Sun Quan's palace.

Yang Yi is now the chief clerk in the General's Mansion.

The most difficult thing for people is to change themselves, and Yang Yi is naturally the same.

Although it is said that all Confucian classics indispensably emphasize humility, peace, etc., Yang Yi will naturally not miss this glance, but when doing things, he just lets his own personality make him happy.

Many financial expenditures within the General's Mansion require the approval of the Chief Registrar.

Even some of Jiangdong's important financial expenditures also need to be accounted for by Yang Yi.

Zhang Zhao is the chief logistics officer, and Yang Yi is like a small auditor. Although Yang Yi can't control Zhang Zhao, he still gives Yang Yi a look at the accounts, and then some trouble arises...

What is the bulk of Jiangdong’s ordnance expenditure?

Of course it is a boat.

The cost of building a ship itself is high, and with the usual maintenance and repairs, the money spent will be enough to build a new one in a few years.

Moreover, Jiangdong's shipbuilding industry itself is a one-stop process. From the upstream wood, iron nails, copper rivets, etc. to the downstream finished products, there is no need to spend money there?

"Last month, Lu Lingling said that rivets in shipyards were expensive, saying that a rivet on the market only costs a hundred dollars..."

"Besides, nothing good is cheap! Don’t you even understand this? 』

"Isn't it? This is for use on the boat. It can be said that it is Jiangdong's face. He still picks and picks it all day long, like an old woman scheming. How annoying is it?" 』

"Zhou Chuan is Jiangdong's big plan. If we give him a second trial like this, it won't be a big deal if we are delayed. The key is that it is related to Jiangdong's major events!" 』

"Also last time, this Lu Linngling also said that the price of boat lumber at 500,000 yuan a piece was too expensive. How is this expensive? Half a million dollars had to be cut from the mountains and transported out quickly. How much manpower and material resources were consumed? If it weren't for the long-term business taking care of it, others might not have this price! 』

"I think this Lu Linling...is deliberately looking for trouble?" Or maybe they want to create some opportunities to make things difficult... You must know that those shipyards, ordnance workshops, etc., are the property of veteran generals..."

"I look like...otherwise, why would you deliberately seek out this boat to make things difficult for you?" 』

"..."

There was a servant in soap clothes in the corner of the front yard. He hid behind the screen wall and listened for a moment. Then he quietly turned around and crossed the patio and then walked to the side corridor. He looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to him. Heading to the corner gate, he passed through the alley again, and arrived at the back row of official buildings. He came to a young official in green clothes and muttered a few words in a low voice.

The green-robed official's eyes flickered twice, then nodded, and asked the soap-clothed servant to go back. He pondered for a while, and did not go into Zhang Zhao's waiting room, but found some books to hold. Fang entered the room.

There were also many people in Zhang Zhao's office room, coming in and out.

Zhang Zhao saw the young official in green clothes, his eyes met, and he asked lightly, "What is it again?" 』

"I'm reporting back to you to sort out the documents that I sent back last time..." The green-clothed official said respectfully, "I'm going back to sort out the documents again... Please check with your Majesty..."

This is normal. After all, Zhang Zhao also has some financial accounting here.

Zhang Zhao nodded, reached out and looked through it, and then said, "I know, leave it here, and step back first." 』

The young official in green bowed his head and bowed, then immediately left.

Zhang Zhao just put the documents aside and started to deal with the matters submitted by other minor officials.

Waves of petty officials came and then left.

In the evening, when the next shift was approaching, the clerk who was mainly responsible for document registration came in to see him, and then he registered and took away the approved documents one by one, and the documents sent by the clerk in green were among them. Zhang Zhao didn't look at it at all.

Because the document itself had been processed at noon, and the young official in Tsing Yi came in just to cover up his actions. After all, for outsiders, no one knew what the connection was between the young official in Tsing Yi and Zhang Zhao...

Everyone has eyes and ears. But some people have ears and eyes just like they don't have eyes. Some people have ears and eyes that are smart and can hear things thousands of miles away and see even the smallest detail.

Zhang Zhao doesn't like money that much, nor does he value extravagant things very much. He doesn't even like rare delicacies like Zhang Hong, so Zhang Zhao naturally doesn't need much money on weekdays, but he also clearly wants to It’s okay to be an upright and good official, but don’t let your colleagues suffer because of it, let alone hope to climb up by stepping on their colleagues’ shoulders!

This is somewhat taboo.

Therefore, when Zhang Zhao discovered some of the problems with the current empty account settlement, he naturally had no intention of getting to the bottom of all these twists and turns, but after all, this is not just one family or two families, nor is it just a little bit. So Zhang Zhao thought of a move.

Although Zhang Zhao was the chief logistics manager, I don't know if Sun Quan was on guard or if it was due to other factors. Anyway, after Yang Yi arrived, he added a bookkeeping office in the general's mansion to conduct thorough checks on various accounts.

At the beginning, Yang Yi was not familiar with the situation in Jiangdong, so he couldn't say much about some of the details in the specific accounts. But as time went by, he gradually learned more about it, and the differences in the numbers were eliminated. He found out.

Finding out the differences is naturally a good thing. But this good thing was for Sun Quan. Sun Quan took the opportunity to beat some people and deal with the hands and feet of these people. At the same time, he also appreciated Yang Yi even more. He praised Yang Yi almost all the time for doing his duty. Excellent in arithmetic and so on.

Yang Yi was so proud of Sun Quan's compliments that he became even more diligent.

Zhang Zhao knew that there was something wrong with the above plan, and he understood it and understood it. But if he just went through it without saying a word, wouldn't it mean that he was too good at it? How would he get through it in the future?

But this time, there were too many people brought out by the plan, so many that Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong had a headache. If they really wanted to be serious, it would be extremely unflattering. It would be like "cutting off from Jiangdong's elders". If you say no If someone is resentful, it must be fake, so there must be someone who can replace Zhang Zhao and beat these people, and after breaking the pot, Zhang Zhao can make up for it.

Yang Yi didn't know that it was Zhang Zhao who was behind the plan. He thought he was loyal and diligent, and was feeling complacent.

Yang Yi has such a character. If you say he is smart, he is indeed smart. He is good at scriptures and arithmetic. He is also knowledgeable and clear about people's livelihood and government affairs. If a political group is regarded as a company, then Yang Yi is extremely capable. Strong middle management cadres, department managers are indispensable. As long as his superiors give him some positive praise, forget about being loyal...

Anyway, Yang Yi felt that she had caught someone's pigtails, so she grabbed it tightly.

In fact, Zhang Zhao intentionally left this braid there...

This flaw has not happened for a day or two. Zhang Zhao has known about it for a long time, but he never mentioned it. Now, Zhang Zhao deliberately exposed the braid and handed it to Yang Yi.

There was suddenly a large-scale duplication of expenses for boats and ships, which was obviously a problem.

But problems often cannot be taken at face value.

However, Yang Yi didn't think so much. He tried his best to control his excitement and looked through the data that seemed to be conclusive evidence. "The wood used in this ship is nothing more than sandalwood, teak, elm, etc., and the price of the wood is different. Now Chen's Shipyard To use elm wood instead of nanmu and Bupleurum wood instead of sandalwood is not to deceive the emperor? 』

When Yang Yi was checking the accounts before, he always felt that something was wrong, but after all, he did not know the situation very well, so he could only secretly inquire and find out the situation. Now that he finally caught a confirmed one, it was natural for Yang to Yi feels that her hard work has paid off.

Yang Yi's character is not bad, but has some flaws. He likes to be supported by others, prides himself on his talents, and likes to point out others. He somewhat improves himself by belittling others. After all, the Yang family is not a big surname in the Jingxiang area, and there are other wealthy families such as the Pang family, the Cai family, the Kuai family, and the Ma family.

Yang Yi himself also knew how important he was, but he was unwilling to give in. He wanted to climb higher. When he got up to this idea, it was naturally difficult to see the distance. The so-called arrogant and cowardly people are half full of water. Wandering around.

Yang Yi issued a sign and ordered the arrest of relevant managers and personnel in Chen's Shipyard. However, Wu County in Jiangdong was only a small area, and Yang Yi's place was watched by everyone, so the news quickly spread.

Chen's Shipyard belongs to Chen Wu's family.

Chen Wu is from Lujiang.

Well, that’s right, it’s Zhou Yu’s Lujiang River.

People in Lujiang also need to eat.

We are all the same. If we can eat some soft rice in a serious manner, how can we chew the dregs and chew the bones?

There are only a few shipbuilding yards in Jiangdong, and one of them belongs to Chen Wu. Of course, not all of them belong to Chen Wu. Strictly speaking, they belong to the Lujiang sect.

"This strategy is called throwing stones to explore the road..." Zhang Zhao said to Zhang Cheng, "Yang Wei Gong is too anxious." You can watch it and take it as a lesson. 』

Zhang Cheng is Zhang Zhao's eldest son, and it's almost time to shoulder the burden. On the one hand, Zhang Zhao was scheming against Yang Yi, and on the other hand, he was teaching Zhang Cheng.

"Now the Lord is on good terms with the Governor..." Zhang Zhao stroked his beard and said slowly, "Yang Wei Gong claims to be loyal and upright, but he doesn't know that if he shows up at this time, he will definitely be scolded by the Lord..."

Yang Yi's own "loyalty and virtuous" words are held high. Doesn't this mean that others are not virtuous?

There should be unity and friendship between colleagues.

Yang Yi is different from those generals. Military generals go to battle to kill the enemy anyway, and their merits can be counted. Victory is victory, failure is failure. Their heads can be registered one by one, and the scars on their bodies are like meritorious deeds.

Yang Yi was a civil servant, sitting in the rear and managing accounts. Even if he was with the army, he was in charge of the rear camp and carried out heavy errands. He would not go into battle to kill the enemy, so how should his merits be calculated? Everyone knows that merit is definitely better than hard work. Yang Yi is also a junior in the ranks of civil servants and a newcomer. If he wants to stand out, he naturally has to do something conspicuous.

This is why Zhang Zhao said Yang Yi was too impatient.

Being impatient not only prevents you from eating hot tofu, but also easily burns your mouth.

"Now Jiangdong and the Hussars are competing in Jiangling. Whether they are using men or boats, they are all in a hurry..." Zhang Zhao smiled lightly, "If Yang Weigong doesn't know how to advance or retreat... then you can't blame others..."

Zhang Zhao glanced at Zhang Cheng and said: "We are all from the north of the Yangtze River. This place east of the Yangtze River is very xenophobic. We should have been united and retreated together, but this Jingxiang Yang family..."

Zhang Cheng nodded.

Jiangdong people have a tradition of xenophobia.

In fact, the Central Plains region was also xenophobic in the early days. For example, Yanhuang excluded Manyou. However, because the Central Plains is connected in all directions and there are frequent exchanges, it became less xenophobic with the development of the times. After all, there are people coming and going everywhere, so how can we be xenophobic? ?

Unless someone like Jiang Dong relies on the so-called natural danger and draws a circle for himself to play with, he will continue to be exclusive.

Let’s talk about the current Jiangdong. Even the Jiangdong of later generations is still exclusive. Even its own city has to be divided into different categories. For example, Xiaoshan despises the old city, the old city looks down on West Lake, etc. The new generation still has Better yet, if the older generation can't speak the local dialect, they don't even bother to talk to them. Contempt chains actually exist everywhere, and it’s not necessarily all Jiangdong’s fault. It’s just a matter of how many, or it may be that the area is small, so it’s more obvious when they are concentrated.

In fact, such xenophobia is mostly caused by money. Just like worshiping foreigners, it is also because they think that foreigners are good at everything if they have money. When one's own family becomes stronger and has self-confidence, there will naturally be no such chain of contempt.

The Han Dynasty used to be the leader of Shandong, and Jiangbei was strong in culture and economy. However, due to the fire and war, groups of people fled to Jiangdong, as if they were wearing suits with bright heads and feet. The result was that If you step on a banana peel and fall, everyone watching will inevitably laugh.

Zhang Zhao didn't mean to beat Yang Yi to death with a stick, but he just wanted to take this opportunity to remind Yang Yi and let Yang Yi understand the necessity of unity earlier.

As for Chen's Shipyard, after Yang Yi takes action, others will naturally get the news. They will be more alert and restrained, and then Zhang Zhao will avoid some trouble, right? In the end, when Yang Yi spilled the beans and Zhang Zhao stepped in to make up for it, everything was fine and Zhang Zhao's ability was demonstrated.

"What if Yang Weigong doesn't succeed in this strategy?" ” asked Zhang Cheng.

Zhang Zhao slowly shook his head and said confidently: "It won't miss." 』

Although Zhang Zhao may not necessarily know that the character of future generations determines the destiny, he knows that as long as Yang Yi's character does not change when he looks up at people with his nostrils, sooner or later he will lose sight of the road and fall into a pit. Even if he doesn't fall out this time, Next time too.

Anyway, it’s just digging a few more holes.

After falling into a pit, was it because the pit was bad or because others didn’t warn me?

Sure enough, just as Zhang Zhao and Zhang Cheng were saying this, a steward from the Zhang family appeared in the hall, lowering his head and reporting that Yang Yi had sent someone to arrest the steward at Chen's Shipyard...
