Chapter 4 The Madness Before Leaving
Under the dim light, Ai Ming, with a gloomy face, was lying on the rocking chair, gently holding the thick brown hemp rope on the rocking chair with his fingers. The rocking chair was swaying, making a "crunching" sound.
Soldier Jia and Qingye stood there with their hands bent down, not daring to breathe. Today, Ai Ming had no good expression after returning from Hanlanju. No one could tell that he was in a bad mood. He had been lying in the rocking chair for more than half an hour. It seemed that he would have to lie down for a while before moving, but Soldier Jia and Qingye did not dare to move, for fear of disturbing the master and giving him a stipend.
"Old Jia." At this time, Ai Ming spoke, dragging his tail out of the old man. The sound accompanied by a gust of cold wind made Qingye and the soldier armor feel goosebumps all over his body.
"Young man, please give me instructions." The soldier's armor responded quickly, and bent his waist lower.
"You have worked hard these days, so you should be careful to guard the portal, especially to see if there are any strangers peeking here. Also, now we should be careful in everything and try to show off as little as possible. Do you know that the workers in the yard will be fired except for those that need to be left behind."
"Yes, I will do it as the master's instructions." Soldier Ar replied, bowed to Ai Ming and retreated. In fact, he didn't have to leave. What Ai Ming ordered was not important, so he would do it immediately, but he really didn't want to stay in this gloomy place. It would be better if he left early.
After the soldier's armor left, Ai Ming tapped the handle of the chair with his fingers and looked at the roof with his eyes. He was extremely upset. To be honest, he really couldn't bear to live his life now. As long as there was a glimmer of hope, he would definitely stay, but it didn't work. Even if nothing happened in the future, he had to be careful. "Qingye."
"Master, I'm here." Qingye quickly focused his energy, thinking that it was finally his turn.
"Qingye, tell me what's happening in Shenji Camp now." Ai Ming closed his eyes.
Qingye was a little confused. When did the master care about Shenji Camp, but he still started talking in detail. As soon as he started, he was interrupted by the impatient Ai Ming. "Qingye, I'm not asking you these. What I want to ask is, how much materials and silver can you have in your hands now?"
The master asked what he was doing. Qingye replied: "As for you, the treasury department currently has a total reserve of 1.18 million silver, and the daily income and expenditure of silver is about 500,000 taels. Due to the large flow of materials, there is no detailed calculation. The daily flow of about 100,000 cubic meters. However, the four permanent warehouses are always full of materials, and there are many types of materials. They are roughly divided into military uniforms, armor, weapons, Taoist talismans, bows and arrows, small and medium-sized teleportation arrays, grain, etc.."
"Oh? How much?" Ai Ming was energetic. Just listening to the numbers was already very touching, but it would be better if he could have more. Ai Ming quickly turned his mind and said, "Qingye, you know how messy the capital has been since the failure of the Leap Horse Plain in my country, right?" Seeing Qingye nodded, he said, "From the current situation, since His Majesty the Emperor was stabbed and frightened, he has never been to the morning court again. All things big and big were handed over to the three princes and the ministers to discuss and resolve, so there was no big mess. But this matter was good and bad. What's bad is that the people in the court are now floating, and if you are not careful, you may cause big mess. You must be careful and careful. You can't be careless at work, do you know?"
Qingye thought to himself, do you still need to teach me this? It's all nonsense. But he still nodded.
"Okay, but people's hearts are all separated. At this very moment, no mistake can be made. So what I want you to do is that after work every day, you must clean up all the banknotes with the accountant, and then take charge of the banknotes and do not hand them over to others. All the funds entering and leaving the banknotes every day are calculated based on large denominations. If the silver entry and exit in some places is small, ask them to wait for the meeting and settle the funds for other units to collect and withdraw funds. Do you know?"
Qingye complained, "If the master doesn't want to command randomly, don't hesitate to command. In this way, his work will increase exponentially, but he has to ignore what the master said, so he has to admit that he is unlucky."
"In terms of materials, especially the materials in the four warehouses, they must be arranged neatly in different categories, do you know?"
I know, Qingye is weak, and can't he say something useful if he says something nonsense?
"Also, whether it is funds or materials, you must remember that if you can intercept it, don't send it. If you can collect it, you will collect it more. Do you know?" Ai Ming smiled, smiling insidiously.
Qingye also heard something was wrong at this time. It seemed that the master did this without any intention. According to his opinion, it seemed that he wanted to take all the funds and materials into his hands, and not let others intervene, and the more the better. But doing this is the biggest taboo in this industry. If the days go by and people below cannot get any oil from it, they must all rebel. "Master, isn't this good?" Qingye asked worriedly.
"You don't have to pay attention to this, just do what you should do." Ai Ming waved.
"Yes." Qingye had no choice but to agree.
Ai Ming nodded and signaled Qingye to go out. Okay, everything is done, it depends on his luck. Go to bed now.
A month passed quickly, and Ai Ming was always counting the days in fear. Fortunately, although the situation in the capital changed, no one noticed the small role of him. The third prince became more and more domineering. Anyone with a discerning eye could see something was wrong, because both the eldest prince and the second prince had not shown up for a long time, and many old faces were missing from the ministers in the court. What worried Ai Ming the most was that his secretary seemed to have noticed something. According to Qingye's return, the secretary always urged him on purpose or unintentional. So he couldn't wait any longer. If he waited, who knew what would happen?
On this day, Ai Ming did nothing and only spent the day in anxiety. It was not until the evening that he blew a long sigh.
"Lao Jia, where did you go?" Ai Ming shouted loudly.
"Master, here." Soldier Ar hurriedly ran over. Ai Ming's temper has become worse and worse these days. He always gets angry and throws things. Soldier Ar usually hides as far as he can, but his ears are always stuck, for fear that he will be scolded if he doesn't hear Ai Ming's call.
Ai Ming stared at the soldier armor fiercely, with a wolf-like light flashing in his eyes. The soldier armor was frightened. "Follow me." Ai Ming only said one sentence and then walked away.
Soldier Ar did not dare to speak, so he had to follow Ai Ming silently and leave the yard. After Ai Ming walked out of the yard, he stood there and thought for a while, and said to Soldier Ar: "Go and call Meilan and Zhuju, I'll take them to go shopping."
Shopping? Soldier Arc called the four sisters with confusion. The four sisters didn't think much about it. The little girl had a simple mind. This month, because Ai Ming never left the house, she had never gone out. She was so bored all day long. Today, Ai Ming suddenly felt kind-hearted to take them out, and she was already chirping and shouting. Ai Ming, who was walking among the group of little sparrows, also smiled on her face because of their energetic appearance, and she relaxed.
Ai Ming led five soldiers to stroll along the street. At this time, it had been a long time since the emperor was stabbed. The streets had regained prosperity, people came and went, bustling, as if nothing had happened. Also, the emperor's life and death had nothing to do with the people, just like Ai Ming didn't care about the life and death of the President of the Chinese Republic in the real world. Because it was too far away from them, no matter who became the emperor or the chairman, it was the same for them. The sun still rose in the morning and set in the evening, and the days passed day by day. Unless there was a special situation, there would not be much change.
Alas, Ai Ming sighs. How many heroes and heroes sacrifice their lives for this beautiful river and mountain, and stage a tragic comedy of winning the king and defeating the enemy. The common people are deer. They compete in the Central Plains, who will win the deer to death? It’s so good to say that the gentle and tame deer is hunted by hunters. No matter what, no matter who wins, they will always die in the end.
"Master, this is delicious." Chunlan stuffed a candied haw into Ai Ming's hand. Ai Ming looked at the candied haws in his hand, but he didn't react for a moment. When he turned around, he saw that the four sisters were already full of snacks. That's not all. When they saw a place for delicious food, they rushed up. When they came back, they must have had a few more foods in their hands. It's great to be young, Ai Ming smiled and shook his head. In fact, he was very young, but he felt very old. Haha, even the soldier arm walking beside him was holding the candied haws in his hand, and biting the candied haws was as sweet as a dog. Ai Ming looked at the candied haws in his hand. Unconsciously, he saliva increased. He took a bite and it was so sweet.
After a while, everyone walked to the door of the Shenjiying Law Hall. Ai Ming turned around and said to the four sisters: "You wait for me in that tea shop. I'll go in and do something, and you'll come out later. Do you know?"
The four sisters were just tired of walking, so they quickly lit their heads like pounding garlic and walked into the tea shop. Ai Ming looked at the four sisters for a while, then looked up at the plaque on the gate of the Shenjiying Law Hall, and spoke long, and walked in with his head held high and his chest.
"Hello deacon." The staff in the room felt very strange when they saw Ai Ming, who was rare, came to Kushi when he was about to get off work, but they didn't think much about it, and they all greeted him earnestly.
Ai Ming smiled and nodded, greeting his colleagues. "Where is Qingye?"
"Brother Qingye is calculating today's income and expenditure with the accountant." A lieutenant said with a smile.
Brother Qingye? Haha, Qingye is doing well, he has become a brother. Ai Ming nodded and wanted to walk inside.
"Master, why are you here?" Qingye was surprised when he looked at Ai Ming who was pushing the door.
"It's okay, I'll take Lao Jia and Dongmei out shopping, just by, so I'll come in and take a look." Ai Ming replied, but his eyes were staring at the stacks of silver notes placed on the table.
"Hello, Mr. Deacon." The accountant nodded and smiled at Ai Ming.
"Okay, okay, you guys are busy." Ai Ming replied, looking around, pretending to be unintentional, "Where is my secretary, why didn't you see him?"
"Oh, he has something to do today, so I'll go back first." Qingye replied, but his hand did not stop and counted the silver notes in his hand.
Isn't it? So lucky? Ai Ming couldn't believe it. Ai Ming picked up a report and read it. After reading it for a while, he must have not understood it. Ai Ming looked up boredly at the busy Qingye and the accountant. At this time, Qingye and the others had already counted the silver notes and put them in a bag. "How about it, how much silver is left today." Ai Ming asked.
Qingye slapped the bag and replied with a smile: "The remaining silver notes are here today, there are a total of 3.16 million taels."
"Why are there so many?" Ai Ming asked in surprise. In his opinion, it would be enough to have eight or nine hundred thousand taels.
"This is the result of my colleagues' hard work over the past month." Qingye shook his eyes at Ai Ming and said. After saying that, he burst into laughter, and the accountant also laughed. Qingye leaned into his ear and whispered to Ai Ming, and Ai Ming also laughed.
It turned out that Ai Ming told Qingye to save money as much as possible and must be in his own hands a month ago. Qingye knew that doing this would definitely object, and it was more likely to cause a big fuss. But the master had to listen to the words. After thinking about it, he finally came up with a plan. He made a little change to Ai Ming's words, saying that it was for everyone's welfare, so he wanted to save money. In the end, the money saved would be distributed as welfare. In this way, the colleagues of course became motivated. In addition, it was a war period and there was a lot of money to deal with. In the end, even Qingye was surprised that he could save enough money.
"Okay, okay, it's done well." Ai Ming was very satisfied. "Then put it." Ai Ming turned around and searched everywhere, "Where do you usually put the money?"
"Sir, leave it to me." The accountant smiled and took the bag, walked to a safe, reached out and pressed it a few times, opened a hole in the safe, and the accountant put the money in. He said proudly: "This safe is specially made by Lu Ban, a skilled man in the palace. Only by knowing three passwords can you open it. Brother Qingye knew one of these three passwords, and the subordinates knew one, and the other was in the hands of your secretary. If you don't know these three passwords, the consequences will be very serious."
"Is that right?" Ai Ming was funny and gently stroked the Qiankun Ring with his hand. The safe was reinsured. As long as the money was not put in, it would naturally not be insured. Haha. When Ai Ming turned his back to Qingye and the accountant, he had already used the method of stealing the beam to replace the pillars and dropped the money in the bag. Fortunately, he brought a lot of waste paper before leaving. After stuffing the waste paper into the bag, the thickness of the money would be similar, otherwise he would really be seen. Of course, he naturally did not know how to replace the pillars and the method of stealing the beam to replace the pillars, but with Lan Ruo helping around, everything would be done.
"Qingye, let's finish the work here. If it's okay, take me to the warehouse to have a look." Ai Ming said.
Qingye agreed with a smile. After handling the chores, he took Ai Ming to the warehouse at the back door of Shenji Camp.
The warehouse is so big, Ai Ming was amazed. This warehouse is as big as two football fields and as high as three floors. The entire warehouse is filled with various military supplies, and it is piled up to the top of the warehouse. Ai Ming nodded with satisfaction, patted the shoulder of the administrator who was managing the warehouse next to him and said, "Yes, you have managed it really well. I am very satisfied. When the dividends are distributed at the end of the month, I will ask Qingye to give you more."
The administrator narrowed his eyes with a smile, bitten humbly, and said flatteringly: "This is all due to your leadership, Lord Ai. The little one is just trying to complete your instructions, and there is nothing to boast about."
OK, he would flatter. Ai Ming proudly patted the administrator on the shoulder and nodded, "Okay, let's go to the next warehouse to have a look."
"Yes, please." The administrator replied, closing the warehouse door.
"Oh, by the way, put this seal on the door and tell the people below that if there is no warrant for me, no one is allowed to open the door, do you know?" After Ai Ming said that, he took out the seal from his pocket and handed it to the administrator.
Although the administrator didn't know why, he didn't dare to ask too much, so he agreed and put the seal on the door of the warehouse. But he didn't pay attention. He flashed into the warehouse at the vent above the warehouse. If someone paid attention, he would find that the black dot was a ring, Qiankun Ring.
The one who held the Qiankun Ring was naturally Lan Ruo. She was originally a ghost, and she changed a lot. After coming out of the gold button, she turned into a transparent shape and entered the warehouse from the vent of the warehouse. Her body flew up and down, and the Qiankun Ring in her hand was like a long whale, sweeping away everything in the warehouse.
Ai Ming looked all the four regular warehouses of Shenji Camp and posted seals on them. Lan Ruo followed him into the warehouse one by one and collected supplies. Ai Ming was laughing, Qingye was laughing, and the administrator was laughing.
"No, I'm not wrong with you, Qingye. You are really much better than me. I'm lucky to have a subordinate like you." Ai Ming patted Qingye. He had said it was good several times that day. "Okay, go home." Ai Ming stretched and took Qingye out of the Shenjiying Law Hall.
"Master, you finally figured it out, but we were so anxious." Dongmei and others were waiting for Ai Ming in the tea shop. No matter how they waited, they couldn't see him coming out of the Shenji Camp. They were so hungry that they were roaring, but they didn't dare to leave. They finally waited Ai Ming out and naturally had to complain a few words.
"Haha, you're hungry, Lao Jia, call a taxi, let's go out of the city, Master, I'll take you to have something delicious." Ai Ming was so generous that he was happy today, and his arms swung into a big circle.
"Master, it's getting late now. The city gate will be closed after the time. We will leave the city for dinner but we can't come back." Soldier Ar said worriedly.
"It's okay. If you can't come back, you can't come back. At worst, you can find a farmer to stay at you tonight, which is also very wild." Ai Ming didn't care.
"Chapter, you'll always wait." Soldier Ar called two taxi cars to the street corner. Ai Ming and others got in the car, laughed all the way, and left the city gate.
"Master, where are we going to have a meal?" Soldier Armor was already a little hungry.
"Just follow." Ai Ming said.
The carriage took everyone to the teleportation point before listening. Ai Ming sent the carriage and took everyone to the teleportation array. Isn't it? You have to use the teleportation point for a meal?
Under the leadership of the mage, the teleportation array opened the teleportation point and sent everyone in, chanted the spell, and the teleportation point flashed with a white light, sending everyone to the teleportation point in another city. Ai Ming was not finished yet, and then he ordered the mage at the teleportation point to continue teleporting everyone. In this way, he teleported four or five times in a row, so everyone didn't know where the teleportation point had teleported them.
The soldier felt something was wrong. While Ai Ming was not paying attention, he poked Qing Ye next to him and asked in a low voice: "I'm telling you brother Qing, where are you going to take us?"
Qingye smiled mysteriously and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, you'll know when you're here."
Soldier Arm curled his lips, why are you doing this mysterious? OK, don't ask anymore.
The teleportation continued until the middle of the night, when everyone was tired and hungry, Ai Ming finally got off the teleportation point. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. It was not good to teleport in that teleportation point for a long time, which made them dizzy. When everyone was so tired, they were still swaying and unable to stand.
This is a small town, not big, Ai Ming breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, he couldn't support it anymore. "Let's go, find a hotel to stay."
Ai Ming and his men went to a hotel along the street and knocked on the door. The shopkeeper was very unhappy, but now it was almost dawn, so why would anyone have to stay in the hotel? However, when he saw a ingot of ten taels of silver in front of him, he immediately changed his attitude and ran around diligently, brought water for washing water and pancreas. He also called the chef and simply prepared some food for everyone.
After washing their faces, everyone couldn't wait to sit on the dining table and swallow it voraciously.
"It's so full." Ai Ming touched his stomach, burped, and picked up a toothpick to pick up his teeth.
"Master, what are you going to do if you take us far away?" The full soldier armor could no longer hold back. He had too many questions in his mind.
Chapter completed!
