Chapter 538 (1/2)

In a flash, it was early November.

Balipu, located in the mountain, has already had two snowfalls.

When the snow stops, the toll station will organize the bandit road bullies to clean the road.

Balipu toll station, which manages the road surface of 25 Li in front and behind, adds up to 50 Li.

They have to make sure that the snow on the concrete road is cleaned up as soon as possible, so as not to delay the travel of merchants.

If the road surface collapses, or cracks appear, it should be reported in time.

When the weather improves next year, engineering teams will come to repair the pavement.

The head of the toll station, Mr. Niu, is not here. He has been to Fucheng for four days for a meeting and study.

In his absence, two deputy station masters are in charge of the toll station.

One is in charge of money and the other is in charge of accounts.

”The snow stopped yesterday. It's time for the stationmaster to come back.”

”Maybe. For fear of delay on the way. ”

”Back, back.”

A toll collector called outside.

The donkey cart at the toll station came to them in a rickety way. On it was the ox who went to Fucheng for a meeting.

Behind him were two carriages.

”Here comes the cashier. Get the books ready.”

Both Deputy Station masters were busy.

Two of them, one in charge of the books, the other in charge of the money.

If the money doesn't match up, both of them will have to pay for it.

Boss Niu got off the donkey cart and asked the cashier to come into the toll station for tea.

The cashier said, ”check the account first, and then drink tea. It's almost the end of the year. The owner is waiting for us to hand in the account book and estimate the profit situation of next year. We have no choice but to urge you. The books are recorded in accordance with the format. ”

”Yes, yes, it's all done according to the training methods.” Old cow said in a hurry.

A few of the teller's clerks took the account books and money, and sat in the check room and began to calculate the accounts.

Cattle boss with two deputy stationmaster, waiting outside, in case the accounting room to cross examine the situation.

The old cow was impatient and could not leave. He sat on the bamboo chair, and the room was warm. He soon went to sleep.

He had a dream, in which he went back to the northwest, back to the Sirius army.

At the age of eighteen, he served in the army for twelve years.

In the Sirius army alone, he has worked for nearly five years and made a lot of contributions.

Until the age of 30, an ambush injured the left arm.

The left arm is saved, but it can't use strength. It's half disabled.

Add these years, the body's large and small injuries innumerable, a winter on the disease.

However, the Sirius army fought more in winter than in summer, and they were all vicious and bitter.

There's no choice but to retire.

General Pei handed over 20 liang of silver to him.

It was hard.

General Pei asked him, ”what are you going back to do?”

He laughs, ”eat and die.”

”Asshole!” General Pei was about his age, but he was called a grandson.

After scolding him, general Pei drank water and said, ”there's a job here. There's a salary of three or two a month. There are rewards for doing well. The premise is to pass the exam. You go to the training class and prepare for the exam. ”

He prepared a lot of objections, but without a word to say, he was escorted to the training class.

Together with the training class, there are hundreds of Sirius brothers who retired from the army.

It was last September. It was cold in Northwest Jinzhou.

They are a group of big and crude people who have never taken a pen, but they want to learn literacy and arithmetic with the master. One exam every month.

There is no reward after passing the exam, but they can directly deduct food rations, money, and play the board.

How hard it is to read! It's more tiring than fighting.

It was a miserable day.

A group of thugs, trying to make Mr.

As a result, general Pei fell from the sky, hundreds of people were engaged in military law, and almost were not killed.

Since then, they have been honest.

It's not easy to read and do arithmetic.

It took nearly a year for Niu Lao university to pass the post examination. He was hired to be the station master of Balipu toll station.

This is his black history, no matter who asked, he would not say.

He would not tell the people below that he had studied for a whole year before he passed the exam.

If he wants to keep a dignified image in front of others, he can't expose his shortcomings.

And he came to Balipu with several robes, naturally will not expose his shortcomings.

If they dare to expose his shortcomings, he will dare to expose everyone's.

There are 13 people in this Balipu toll station. One stationmaster, two deputy stationmaster.

The other ten are toll collectors.

Half veterans, half locally recruited.

Even the two deputy stationmaster are from different places, different training classes.Thinking of the happy things, the old cow laughed in his sleep.

”Boss Niu, boss Niu, wake up...”

Someone pushed him.

”Who? Grandma's who pushes Laozi. ”

The old cow opened his eyes and blinked before he could see clearly that it was Mr. cashier.

He chuckled and scratched his head. ”I'm sorry, sir. I overslept. These bastards don't know how to wake me up. ”

All the rabbits in the old cow's mouth were laughing.

It's rare to see the joke of boss Niu. Of course, you can't miss it.

The accountant said, ”the accounts have been checked, and the accounts and money are all right. We'll take the money and the cashier's signature at the bottom

”Oh

Since Mr. Niu has read, he has been very careful about all kinds of documents. During the meeting above, they repeatedly stressed that they should read the contents clearly before signing.

Sure the content is OK, he just picked up the pen, signed and sealed.

Then there are two deputy stationmaster.

After the handover and tea, the tellers took the account books and a box of silver, as well as two baskets of copper coins into the carriage, ready to go to the next toll station.

After seeing off the cashier's room, the toll station was relieved.

”I'm so nervous! I'm afraid there's something wrong with the accounts. ”

”As long as we do things according to the rules and record every transaction truthfully, there will be no problem with the accounts.”
