Rise From the Humble

In the afternoon, Taicang Bank Inspection Envoy Liu Guangzuo and Deputy Envoy Qu Tongyang convened the members of the Taicang Bank Inspection Team in a room in Wuyi Hall and held an inspection mobilization meeting. Zhu Pingan and Supervisory Yushi Sinan Sitting at the bottom.

Taicang Bank Inspector Liu Guangzuo is an elder in his fifties, about the same age as Xu Jie. His face is full of righteousness. His beard and hair are meticulously combed. He sits in the first place with a straight waist. Straight.

Zhu Ping'an had a good first impression of Liu Guangzuo.

Compared with the chief envoy Liu Guangzuo, the deputy envoy Qu Tongyang is a bit wretched. I don’t know if you have paid attention to the tender video of Secretary Lei from a certain district in Chongqing a few years ago. Liu Guangzuo’s appearance is similar to that of the protagonist Lei in the video. The secretary is 90% similar, almost like Secretary Lei's long-lost brother.

Therefore, Zhu Ping'an didn't dare to look at Deputy Commander Qu in the eyes. He would be in trouble every moment and all he could think of was Secretary Lei.

Gao Rui, a doctor in the Ministry of Industry's Affairs Office, is a middle-aged official in his forties. He has a dignified appearance and a strong build. At first glance, he does not look like a civil official, but more like a military general. However, judging from his words and deeds, Zhu Pingan judged that Gao Langzhong was an official with considerable official experience.

Si Nan, the supervisory censor who also sits at the bottom, is in his thirties. He has the appearance of a standard official, and he is also very impressive.

In comparison, Zhu Ping'an, who is sitting at the bottom, has an average appearance, and he is the kind of person who can't be distinguished in a crowd. He is young and has no experience at first glance. He also doesn't have any unforgettable sparkle. Dot. is the least impressive of the group.

"The Taicang Bank is the financial lifeblood of our Ming Dynasty. It is of great importance. I believe I don't need to elaborate on its importance. I believe you all understand how much the Holy One attaches great importance to the Taicang Bank. You must follow the Holy One's instructions this morning. Keep it firmly in mind that this inspection of the Taicang Bank is not a child's play. You should strictly perform your duties and investigate carefully, and don't make mistakes. If you commit fraud, perfunctory or other inappropriate actions, you will be punished for the next inspection. If a problem is discovered, the official career will be ruined at the least, and the property and life will be at risk at worst. But don't blame me for not reminding you. We are blessed by the Holy Spirit and shoulder this important task. We must live up to the Holy Spirit, live up to the common people, and live up to our hearts. Everyone, do you think so?"

Liu Guangzuo was sitting at the front seat with a very serious face. He tapped his fingers on the table and spoke word by word.

"Of course." Zhu Ping'an and others nodded and expressed their opinions in unison.

Liu Guangzuo glanced at everyone, nodded slightly, and was very satisfied with everyone's reaction.

"What Mr. Liu said is absolutely true. We have been entrusted with an important task by the Holy Majesty, and we will work hard to repay the Emperor's favor. This inspection of the Taicang Bank is the time when we are loyal. We must face the difficulties and serve the Holy Majesty and the people. The people handed over a satisfactory answer sheet." Deputy envoy Qu Tongyang followed up the words of the envoy Liu Guangzuo and added two sentences righteously.

Looking at Qu Tongyang, Zhu Pingan couldn't help but think of the modern Secretary Lei. Although Deputy Qu spoke with righteous words and awe-inspiring righteousness, due to preconceptions, Zhu Pingan always superimposed Deputy Qu as Secretary Lei. As a result, Deputy Commander Qu's awe-inspiring speech also changed the taste in Zhu Pingan's ears.

But in any case, this mobilization meeting got off to a good start.

Next is the specific deployment of the audit work. It can be seen that Liu Guangzuo is very sad about this audit work. When deploying the work, he emphasized discipline, responsibility, and integrity many times. He reiterated the importance and consequences of the audit work several times and asked everyone to take it seriously and Take this audit seriously.

Auditing the Taicang Bank may seem troublesome, but it is actually simple. It mainly consists of two parts. The first part is to count the books of the Bank over the years and to audit the book amounts of the Taicang Bank; the second part is to count the gold and silver in the Taicang Bank. Check whether it is in deficit or not.

This mobilization meeting revolves around two parts of the work deployment. Liu Guangzuo and others are experienced officials, so there is no problem with the inspection arrangement and deployment.

Officialdom is about seniority, and Zhu Ping'an also knows that he is a man of few words, so he is mainly responsible for listening.

Liu Guangzuo, Qu Tongyang and others are all experienced officials, and Zhu Pingan understands his position. In this audit work, I came here to learn and gain experience, or soy sauce is a more appropriate word.

When the mobilization meeting ended, there was still more than half an hour before get off work time.

Zhu Ping'an went to Sizhi again, but starting from tomorrow, he can temporarily stop coming to Wuyishan Sizhi. He will come to Wuyishan Sizhi after inspecting the Taicang bank.

When it was time to get off work, Zhu Pingan packed up his things and followed Li Chunfang out of Xiyuan. He said goodbye to Li Chunfang outside and rode back to Linhuai Marquis Mansion with Liu Mu and Liu Dadao who were waiting outside.

When Zhu Ping'an returned to the Linhuai Marquis Mansion, Liu Guangzuo, the chief inspector of the Taicang Bank Treasury, also got on the sedan chair returning home.

The sedan is a small sedan carried by two people. In fact, Liu Guangzuo is a fourth-level official, and the theoretical specification is for four people to carry a large sedan. However, Liu Guangzuo still uses two people because of the cost and labor cost of carrying the sedan. Sedan.

Liu's Mansion is far away from Xiyuan, in the remote Tongzi Hutong in the capital. By the time Liu Guangzuo returned to Liu's Mansion in a sedan, the sky had already darkened.

The reason why Liu Guangzuo bought a house in Tongzi Hutong was mainly because the housing prices here were relatively cheap. It was only last year that Liu Guangzuo bought such a decent house in Tongzi Hutong.

When Liu Guangzuo returned to his house, his wife Zhang had already prepared dinner, and his two underage sons were sitting obediently at the table, waiting for Liu Guangzuo.

Liu Guangzuo was very surprised when he saw the sumptuous dinner on the table. His wife, Zhang, had always been virtuous and knew that it was not easy for Liu Guangzuo to be an official. She was also quite frugal at home. In the past, dinner only consisted of one meat, two vegetables and three dishes. Today it was just There are five or six meat dishes.

What day is it today? This is not Zhang’s style. Liu Guangzuo was surprised when he saw the table full of chicken, duck and fish.

Zhang is dressed simply. Although she is in her forties, she still has charm and is full of elegance and elegance.

Zhang is the daughter of Liu Guangzuo's mentor. She married Liu Guangzuo before Liu Guangzuo won the imperial examination. She is well-educated, gentle and virtuous. She is Liu Guangzuo's virtuous housekeeper and Liu Guangzuo always respects her.

"Today is our last meal as husband and wife. After this meal, I hope that for the sake of our decades of marriage, my husband can send me and my two sons back to my parents' home."

Mrs. Zhang stood up and said a thousand blessings, looked up at Liu Guangzuo, her eyes were filled with mist, and she said in a plaintive tone.

Please leave? !

Wait, what's going on?

Liu Guangzuo was stunned for a moment. What happened? Did I do something wrong recently?
