He said with a smile on his face: "You don't dare to lie at all. You will let Mr. Kumu and Mr. Gan try it later and you will know. They will not be disappointed. If they like it, you don't have to send people to find it. Tell them directly."

Just give me a shout. I will ask the wine shop to prepare some, send some to Mr. Kumu, and also ask the adults to take some to the capital as gifts."

"No, no, just tell me where to buy it," Zhao Ruxi said.

What she wanted was not wine, but a visit to the winery.

"My lord, you don't know that although this wine shop also sells wine, the wine it sells is all newly brewed. He doesn't have much old wine, and they generally don't sell it to people who are not close relatives. The villain is also because he has been there for ten years.

I just happened to do him a favor and was able to buy this good wine."

"I see. Then I'll have to trouble Chen Jingcheng." Zhao Ruxi cupped her hands and said very politely.

Seeing Zhao Ruxi and Chen Kang chatting lively back and forth, and the relationship between the two became so good that they even went to the wine shop to buy wine together, Cai Yaozong felt extremely sad.

He smiled and said: "Lao Chen, you are from Nanyang and have never been to other places. After drinking this wine, you naturally feel good and feel proud of it. I understand. But the world is so big and there are so many good things.

Just saying that this wine failed to become a tribute shows that it still has shortcomings. Mr. Kumu is the emperor's cousin, and he is as close as a brother to the late emperor. What kind of tribute wine have you not drunk? Don't brag too much.

Then Mr. Kumu and the others will be disappointed."

Chen Kang's smile froze, and he immediately said: "What Mr. Cai said is true. I am a frog in the well. After drinking a little smooth wine, I thought I was the best in the world. I forgot where Mr. Zhao and Mr. Kumu came from. I am ashamed, ashamed.

.”

"But everyone has their own preferences for radish and cabbage. Maybe Mr. Kumu, Mr. Gan, Mr. Zhou and others like this one? Since they came to Nanyang, Mr. Zhao brought out Nanyang wine for them to taste, and you will not miss it.

It’s my opinion. So I might as well give it a try.”

"I believe this must be good wine." Zhao Ruxi nodded and said, "I will let Master and the others taste it later."

Hearing this, a smile broke out on Chen Kang's face, extremely bright.

"Listen to the words and listen to the sound of the gongs and drums." Zhao Ruxi's words showed that she was willing to accept Chen Kang's kindness, but she had a rejection attitude towards Cai Yaozong.

Huh, if this old dog Cai Yaozong wants to tear him down, there is no way he can do it.

"Uh-huh!" Cai Yaozong coughed hard, announced his presence, and then said to Zhao Ruxi, "I'm coming over now. In addition to greeting Mr. Kumu and the others, I also want to tell you something, Mr. Zhao."

"I thought about it later and felt that for Mr. Zhao to be selected as the number one scholar by the emperor, he should be top-notch in both knowledge and ability. It is really inappropriate for me to look at you like an ordinary new official."

"I plan to give the two tasks of grain supervision and water conservancy to Mr. Zhao from me. Mr. Li Li will also give one or two items to Mr. Zhao. What do you think? If Mr. Zhao has no objection, I will come back later.

The Yamen will report this matter to Mr. Liu."

Zhao Ruxi thought Cai Yaozong would fight her for two more rounds, but she didn't expect him to let go so easily, which surprised her.

She stood up and bowed to Cai Yaozong: "Thank you, Mr. Cai, for your willingness to support the younger generation. Since Mr. Cai has such good intentions, I would rather obey your orders and take care of these matters."

Before Cai Yaozong's face broke into a smile, Zhao Ruxi said again: "Actually, what Mr. Cai said is not wrong. Although I am better at studying than others, because of my young age, I don't have much contact with general affairs. I am indeed not as familiar with government affairs as you are.

.So I would like to ask Mr. Cai to allow me to read the files and accounts of salt and grain."

Cai Yaozong's expression changed.

Zhao Ruxi didn't wait for him to speak, and then said: "But don't worry, Mr. Cai, I just understand the situation and study, and do nothing else. Mr. Gan has become an official and is no longer an official in the court. His words of reading the account books for me are just a joke.

Well, it's against the rules, and I can't easily let him work too hard."

"This..." Cai Yaozong's face was extremely ugly, "Mr. Zhao, you are young, and you may not be aware of some official rules. If you are not a superior, it is inconvenient for other officials at the same level or lower level to interfere in matters under the jurisdiction of others, let alone

Needless to say, look at the files and accounts."

"It is extremely taboo to extend your hand too far. If I agree to it, it will be of no benefit to you or me. So I'm sorry, but please forgive me for not agreeing to this.

"

"Is that so?" Zhao Ruxi frowned and thought for a moment, then raised her eyes and said, "Then forget it. I'd better not take over the affairs for the time being and just proceed as planned. After I understand the situation and learn all the affairs, I'll come back.

It’s not too late to take over specific affairs.”

She smiled at Cai Yaozong and cupped her hands: "I'd better trouble Mr. Cai and Mr. Li to worry about it during this time, so I can take care of some affairs for the time being."

Cai Yaozong held a mouthful of old blood in his heart and almost spit it out.

Why is this little bitch so difficult to deal with? Even after he took a big step back, she still held on to him, demanding to see the salt affairs files and accounts.

Zhao Ruxi was still smiling and looked like an innocent little girl, but what she said was not cute at all.

She said: "I'm requesting this, and I don't mean to embarrass you, Mr. Cai. The main reason is that I am good at arithmetic. Last winter, there was a problem with grain and grass at the border. I did the calculations for the Ministry of Accounts. Mr. Qi, the Minister of the Ministry of Accounts, always wanted me to serve in the Ministry of Accounts.

.”

"It's just that I want to know more about local government affairs, so I took the initiative to ask for a release. I don't know how long I can stay here. Maybe Mr. Qi will ask the emperor to transfer me back soon. So now I want to take advantage of this opportunity to transfer the place

I will give you a comprehensive understanding of the affairs. After I return to Beijing and work in the Ministry of Household Affairs, I will have a clear idea of ​​what I can do."

Cai Yaozong: "..."

Threat, there is a real threat again!

He is only in his early forties this year, and he will have to serve as an official for at least ten to twenty years. After Liu Hongyu becomes an official, he is likely to succeed his official as the magistrate of Nanyang; he will also serve as an official in other places in the future. If Zhao Ruxi goes

If she takes up a position in the Accounts Department, won’t all his future accounts have to be handled by her?

It would be great if there are so many provinces, prefectures, prefectures, and Ministry of Revenue officials in the country to check the accounts at the provincial level. The Department of Public Security will check more of the provinces it is responsible for, but rarely check at the state level.

Random inspections will be conducted at most every two to three years.

But this is just a general situation.

Once there is a problem in a certain place, or an official in a certain place offends an official from the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Revenue will look closely at the accounts of this place to investigate.
