chief secretary

.

Mr. Bang was, after all, Mr. Bang.

‘They say genes never say anything wrong?’

I can’t believe it became so much easier just because a grand marshal came in. As expected, catching a pheasant is a difficult task, and the expert was an expert.

I taught him double-entry bookkeeping, and he mastered it in one day. After just one day, he was able to figure things out on his own without me having to worry about him.

Grandmaster Bang, who had been looking around the warehouse and came running to my call, reported with a surprised expression.

“Honestly, I was surprised. Daein Ryu. Yesterday, the place where user meat was made was like that, and it was also sorted by date. I’ve never seen such a clean and tidy warehouse. “How can there not be any rats?”

‘No, I use it if there are rats in the restaurant.’

I knew what she meant.

To be honest, in this day and age, rats are like companions that live together.

In some cases, it is called Joheunggoseo (肇兴烤鼠), where rats are roasted or fried, and called Samjiin (三吱儿), where newborn baby rats are dipped in soy sauce and the squealing ones are eaten alive.

The meaning of Samjiin is that it cries three times: when picking it up with chopsticks, when dipping it in soy sauce, and when chewing it.

‘I really eat everything.’

Not only can they jump from the ceiling of a private house, but if water suddenly drips from the ceiling, it’s rat urine.

If you leave food in the kitchen and don’t keep track of it, it’s food for rats.

But a rat in our spot was nonsense.

Not only does he ask Yeong-yeong to catch and kill rats regularly using Danga’s poison, but he also tells Deok-gu to catch whatever he sees.

The kitchen was always kept clean, so there were never any rats in it.

Of course, the servants are all trained in martial arts, so they catch and kill them on sight.

“Because I always keep the spots clean.”

“This double-entry bookkeeping thing is also amazing. You can see it so easily at a glance! Ryu Dae-in was truly a great person!?”

“Haha, well, that’s it.”

Although it is still someone’s achievement. It’s a bit embarrassing to praise someone so openly.

After I answered awkwardly, Grand Marshal Bang asked me carefully.

“Anyway, how did you call me? Do you have anything to say? “I told you that I would rush to prepare for the wedding after I had figured out everything for three days, right?”

As she said, she said she would first take stock of the business for three days.

He reported that after finishing his work for three days, wedding preparations would begin then.

However, the reason I called her was not to remind her to prepare for the wedding, but for another reason.

Come to think of it, I didn’t negotiate my salary.

“There’s something I didn’t tell you yesterday.”

“What if you didn’t say it yesterday?”

“I’m talking about wages. “Wise.”

Then Bang Cheong-rim shook his head.

Once I had her sit down, I asked her.

“How much did you get paid at your previous job?”

Then Bang Cheong-rim spoke carefully.

“I received 30 hermits in one year.”

“thirty?”

I was surprised at the amount, which was much smaller than I expected.

That’s about the salary I paid poor girl after she worked at our guesthouse.

“Of course, it’s okay to give me less than that.”

“No, I’m not saying that. “I was surprised that it was so much less than I expected.”

“Less?”

I nodded to Bang Cheong-rim, who asked with a surprised expression.

Because our half-dozen servants also get paid more than that.

“Well, first of all, we pay wages once a month, so we’ll give you four silver coins per month.”

“Yes, four!? So, in one year, that’s 48!?”

I originally thought they would give me twice as much, so I nodded and continued.

“And you can also eat breakfast and dinner at the restaurant.”

“You’re giving me two full meals!?”

“Oh, you can bring your daughter who is home alone and eat with her.”

“!”

“Oh, and our spots can rest once every ten days. On those days, you can rest at home with your daughter. “Of course, just because you take a day off doesn’t mean your wages will be deducted for that day.”

“Well, what does that mean? Are you taking a break? Are you saying you are going to stay at home and not come out? But you’re giving me money? “Such nonsense…”

“exactly. They say it’s a holiday, but you can take a break once every ten days. You can change the date. “You can take three days off in a month.”

“···.”

Bang Cheong-rim then looked in disbelief.

Bang Cheong-rim asked with wide eyes.

“Seo, are you sure everyone else does that too?”

“Well, everyone who works in our shop is like that, whether it’s servants or those who work in the kitchen. Oops! “There is a bathing area operated by our store. You can wash your body there every day after work, so use that too.”

Bathing was essential for the kitchen staff, as if they worked in the kitchen while the fire was burning, their entire bodies would be soaked from the soot and heat by evening.

I also thought it would be good for the servants to be clean, so I was subsidizing the bathing fees, but recently, Cheong said that the bathing bath fee was too expensive, so I ended up taking it over.

It is normally operated as is, but in the evenings it has become a place used only by employees, but it is very close to the spot.

When I explained it to that point, Bang Cheong-rim covered her mouth and spoke with tears in her eyes.

“Just as my father and I have been loyal for generations, my daughter will also be loyal to you for generations.”

Bang Cheong-rim seemed moved by the employee benefits he received for the first time.

I thought that if I had brought this up first after going to bed, I would have said I would go to work right away.

‘It feels like I’m back somehow, right?’

***

The day after Grand Secretary Bang’s work was completed, something a little strange happened.

Obviously, I hired one, but Grand Marshal Bang showed up at the spot with several people in tow.

‘What is this? suddenly. ‘Did you hit a baby?’

And then he immediately said hello to me.

“Say hello. “From now on, you are the great person we will serve.”

“””hello. I will serve you with all my might, Daein Ryu.”””

“to?”

Four women lined up behind Bangcheongrim.

As I blinked, wondering what this was, Bang Cheong-rim introduced the women to me one by one.

“But what about these people?”

Then Bang Cheong-rim answered with a naughty smile.

“It is the job of people like us to listen to the owner’s words and understand their deep meaning. Doesn’t the fact that you have made me the Grand Commander mean that you will place the other four Grand Marshals under me and make sure things run smoothly?

“As soon as we finished understanding the work, we selected useful children.”

‘No, that’s not it… Who on earth read his mind?’

When I think about it, the position of the Grand Chancellor is a kind of deacon and chief of staff.

A few days ago, when asked what kind of secretary he was, he answered that he was the chief secretary, and it seemed like he had formed a team of secretaries.

“Starting from here, Seolpa, the left domestic affairs general, Ranhee, the right internal affairs general, Gyehee, the left external general, and Right external general are sold separately. These are the kids I kept an eye on while I was working, and when I told them that I was working for Daein Ryu, they happily came along. From now on, we will definitely assist Daeyin Liu.

“Everyone is good at writing and counting, and has studied academics to some extent, so there will be no shortage of writing skills.”

Grandmaster Bang suddenly appeared out of nowhere with a full set of commanders.

They tried to treat him like slaves, but Bang Cheong-rim dragged other slaves to become administrative slaves.

They even dragged people around, so you can’t say no here.

Still, since I was the first Grand Marshal elected, I needed to keep my spirits up, so I nodded.

It seemed like they had formed a secretarial team to make sure things got done.

And if you use up some surplus manpower, you can fire them at any time.

“Hmm. Thank you for your hard work. “Okay, everyone, work hard.”

“Yes, Daein Ryu!”

“Of course, Dain Ryu!”

That was when I answered like that.

Two thoughts suddenly come to mind.

From the question of whether this might be a different kind of hardship, to suspicions about the wages.

He quietly called Bang Cheong-rim aside and asked.

“Anyway, what is their pay?”

Then Bang Cheong-rim smiles.

“The first month is a month of learning about work, so it’s okay to not receive a salary, and after that, you can only receive a silver coin. “I get breakfast and dinner, I can take a bath, and I can rest three times a month, so that’s enough.”

The president of our room was a frugal person who we liked in many ways.

***

In the Song Dynasty, there was no one except the royal court who borrowed other people’s money and did not repay it.

Borrowing money from people and not paying them back is something the government sometimes does when taxes aren’t enough, but other than that, there are almost no people in the private sector who don’t pay the money back.

Even though Song was not a very creditable society, there was a good reason why financial transactions between ordinary people were so thorough.

What happens if you don’t pay back money during the Song Dynasty?

It was a very simple answer.

-Wow!

“Kwaaaah!”

-Wow!

“Keuuuuuck!”

The answer was to be taken to a government office and beaten like a dog.

Bi-yeon obtained a few Hoeja (會子) bills issued by the Haeryong Sangdan and asked for a couple of bills to be repaid to see the liver, but even though the amount was not that much, the guy was unable to pay even a penny.

I feel like my fund turnover rate is dropping because I’ve been spending money like water.

Right now, all transactions are blocked and it’s hard to buy things. Wouldn’t you want to go crazy?

“S-sorry. Because the payment for the product has not arrived yet. Please give us a little more information and we will prepare it for you. Anyway, how did my conversation end up in Giru…”

He offered to pay us back in a few days, but is there any reason for us to put up with it?

Who is it in times like this?

I went straight to my brother and told him.

“what!? “There’s someone taking my brother’s money!?”

When I heard that there was someone trying to take my money, my brother looked like the enemy who killed my parents had appeared.

I answered casually, as if it was no big deal, but my brother said with a straight face.

“Well, it’s not a lot of money…”

“No, little brother! Not paying back your brother’s money is an insult to me and my Yeonseonggong brother! I can’t stand it! Hello! “Go and catch that bastard who dares to take my brother’s money!”

“yes! “The owner of Bokju!”

My brother, he must have been stressed out these days, so he dispatched the officer with an expression on his face that something went well.

The guy who had been spending quality time with his concubines was dragged to the government office, probably because he was stressed after begging us to leave.

And the current owner of Haeryong Merchant Marine who was dragged in like that was beaten like a dog.

In the middle, my brother appeared to hit his neck with his hand, asking us to just let him go, but what we needed was the upper level, and he wasn’t that bad of a guy, so he responded by gesturing with his hands and feet to tell us not to kill him.

The guy didn’t have enough money to even bribe the magistrate who handed him the long sentence, so he got 20 blows and fell limp.

Of course, he wasn’t dead.

Since I told you not to kill him, he must have been beaten to the point where he didn’t die.

Because the people who beat the drums during the Song Dynasty were professionals.

So, does the enforcement of the law end if you get 20 lashes like this?

Not at all.

The laws related to money during the Song Dynasty were very cruel, because it wasn’t just a one-time hit.

If you receive 20 lashes for the first time like this, you will be given a grace period of 1 month, and if you do not repay within that time, you will receive 30 lashes again.

What if I still can’t pay it back? Forties.

What if I still can’t pay it back? Fifties.

Yes, it is the law of Song that you are beaten until you collapse, and even if you die, your family has to work like slaves to pay you back.

Therefore, although there are no slaves in Song, there are quite a few people who work as servants like slaves in other people’s homes because of their combs.

So, are you going to waste money? This is almost like dying.

That is why ordinary people never share money with each other.

‘Because it’s dirty.’

A guy who gets 20 slaps and is dragged back home by people.

Bi-yeon looked at the guy being dragged behind him and said, fluttering a few pics of the story to his cheek.

“There are still five more, so starting tomorrow, we’ll hit twenty each day.”

There was only one complaint per slip.

Infinite hell.

‘Let’s see how long you can hold out.’
