Chapter 224: Comparison is the thief of anger
At this time, Caiyun on the side also used an abacus to add up the silver and money in the account book.
"Six thousand four hundred and thirteen taels and five hundred and forty-one coins. This is the silver from the backyard." Caiyun said after finishing the calculation.
Then he turned his head and looked at Yu Mengqing and asked, "Miss, is that all you just said?"
Yu Mengqing: "..."
Can she say that she has calculated the number and is it so difficult for you to remember it?
Everyone: It’s really that difficult.
After hearing Caiyun's words, everyone looked at Yu Mengqing with strange eyes.
"What's wrong? Is there something foreign on my face?" Yu Mengqing asked with a smile.
"Mengqing, how did you calculate all that just now?" Xue Zhonglan couldn't help but ask after trying to hold it in.
She didn't expect that Yu Mengqing would change so much.
She remembered that Yu Mengqing used to be neither good at literature nor martial arts.
But now, Xue Zhonglan feels that saying she is a talent in both literature and martial arts is no longer enough to describe her.
With her calculation speed just now, there should be no one else in the entire Great Xia Kingdom who can match her, right?
However, seeing her so calm and composed as to not make a fuss about anything made people grit their teeth in anger.
It's true that comparing yourself to others makes you feel thwarted.
Then Caiyun counted the front yard and all the side rooms again.
I didn't know until I calculated it, and it was really shocking.
The total value of the property in the entire house is almost 30,000 taels.
"So many?" Yu Mengqing asked with a frown.
"Miss, I counted it twice, and it is indeed so." Caiyue replied respectfully.
Even she herself couldn't believe it; she didn't expect the data to be so huge.
"We really can't let Lu Cunming die like this." Guo Peiying said gritting her teeth.
"If we don't let him die like this, won't we have to waste food to feed him?" Xue Zhonggui on the side couldn't help but speak.
Guo Peiying: “…” Why did she feel that what Xue Zhonggui said made so much sense?
For people like this, living is indeed a waste of food.
"Distribute all this cash to the people in Lingshi County, especially those families whose homes have been destroyed." Yu Mengqing ordered Caiyun.
After thinking for a while, as if remembering something, he continued, "That Quan Zhaonian, call him over!"
"Okay, miss!" After saying that, Caiyun walked out.
After hearing what Yu Mengqing said, Chu Shiheng didn't say anything.
He naturally knew that Yu Mengqing had her reasons for doing this.
If he guessed correctly, if Lu Cunming was executed now, the position of county magistrate of Lingshi County would be vacant.
Quan Zhaonian was not only a victim, but also a scholar. Such a person could naturally take on the position of county magistrate.
Chu Shiheng knew Yu Mengqing. From her conversation with Quan Zhaonian just now, it seemed that she had already intended to hand over the position of county magistrate to him.
That’s right, only a county magistrate who has experienced the ups and downs of life can understand the suffering of the people.
If Chu Shiheng were given the choice, he would make the same choice.
Quan Zhaonian not only had the title of scholar, but also had experienced the death of both parents and understood the suffering of the common people. Such a person was indeed the most suitable.
Soon, Quan Zhaonian followed Caiyun to the county government office.
He had the title of scholar, so he didn't need to bow when he saw Yu Mengqing and Chu Shiheng.
But he still bowed to the two of them.
For this, Yu Mengqing was even more satisfied.
That also indirectly shows that even if he had the wisdom of a scholar, he would not rely on his title to oppress the people.
Because he didn't think he was superior.
"Get up?" Yu Mengqing said very calmly.
"Thank you, Princess Chu!" Quan Zhaonian still said respectfully.
"Do you know why we came to you today?"
"Zhao Nian is not talented."
"You have seen the current situation in Lingshi County. If nothing unexpected happens, I will deal with Lu Cunming tomorrow, and the position of county magistrate will be vacant for the time being."
Having said that, Yu Mengqing glanced at Quan Zhaonian again, and seeing that there was no fluctuation in his eyes, she felt even more satisfied.
She has said so much now. Anyone who is not a fool should know what she means.
So Yu Mengqing continued:
"So during this period, I ask that you take charge of Lingshi County. Of course, it's only temporary. If you manage it properly, I will report to the emperor and appoint you as the magistrate of Lingshi County."
While saying these words, Yu Mengqing's eyes never left Quan Zhaonian.
Sure enough, Quan Zhaonian's reaction also made her extremely satisfied.
From his expression, Yu Mengqing could see that he was very happy.
But his expression was one of pure happiness, without any trace of pride.
Yu Mengqing found this acceptable.
Anyone would be happy if he suddenly took over the position of county magistrate. It would be like pie falling from the sky. Who wouldn't be happy?
But Quan Zhaonian did not have a smug expression on his face, which meant that he had the right intentions.
"Do you have any objection?" Chu Shiheng asked expressionlessly.
From the time Quan Zhaonian came in until now, Chu Shiheng has basically never spoken.
Now he suddenly asked this question, and it was obvious that he was very satisfied with Quan Zhaonian's action.
"Zhao Nian has no objection. It is a great honor for Zhao Nian to be appreciated by Prince Chu and Princess Chu. Zhao Nian would like to thank Prince Chu and Princess Chu first."
After saying that, he actually knelt down in front of the two of them.
To be honest, Quan Zhaonian was actually holding back on his actions.
He didn't expect that the Princess of Chu called him over because of this matter.
He never expected that he would have such luck today.
I don’t know if his parents knew about this and blessed him, allowing him to be reborn.
In the past two years, he has been forced into a desperate situation by Lu Cunming.
If Prince Chu and Princess Chu had not appeared, he might have died in the deep winter of this year.
