Chapter 1245: Good Luck in Opening the Court (2)
After receiving the red envelope, Wu Zhubo quickened his pace and ran back to the office. While running, he was grabbed by a big hand and then hid in the bushes.
Just as he was about to exclaim, he saw County Magistrate Wang and Clerk Xia.
The three of them looked at each other and saw a red envelope in their hands.
Wu Zhubo asked in confusion, "Lord Wang, Xia Dianli, why are you here?"
It's right here, why scare me?
County Magistrate Wang quietly looked at the red envelope from Wu Zhubo.
Not long ago, he also received a red envelope from Mr. Sun, and couldn't help but be secretly surprised.
Hiding in the grass, he opened it and took a look, and couldn't help but curl his lips.
I thought it was at least eight taels, but it turned out to be only one penny.
Tsk tsk, this Lord Sun is really too stingy.
County Magistrate Wang asked, "Master Wu, why are you so late today? You're almost late."
Wu Zhubo blushed and said, "It's Chinese New Year, and the New Year hasn't even ended yet. I couldn't adapt to the new environment for a while, so I came late. Fortunately, fortunately, I wasn't late."
Normally I would have breakfast at home before coming here, but today for some reason, my eyebrows on both eyes were twitching violently, so I ignored my rumbling stomach and went back to the yamen first.
Sure enough, this choice was the right one, my sixth sense was right.
But why did County Magistrate Wang, who was even more lame than him, arrive at the yamen so early?
Could it be that he had received the information early and Lord Sun would be waiting for them at the gate?
Wu Zhubo couldn't help but get angry.
Good job, County Magistrate Wang, why didn’t you inform us about such a big thing?
Are you hiding in the corner waiting to see him die?
At this time, Xia Dianli asked curiously, "Master Wu, did you also receive a red envelope from Master Sun? How much is in it?"
After saying this, he opened his red envelope first to let Wu Zhubo see the full amount.
Wu Zhubo looked curiously and found that there was only one penny of silver.
Lord Sun is so stingy, giving so little.
County Magistrate Wang pretended to understand and said, "How much can it be? At most, it's one penny."
He glanced at Wu Zhubo's red envelope and gestured for it to be opened.
Wu Zhubo opened it as he wished, and saw that it also contained one penny of silver.
Everyone looked at each other and came to the conclusion again: Lord Sun is really stingy. He has the nerve to give such a small red envelope.
Of course, this also proves that Lord Sun did not discriminate against anyone, regardless of their official position or status. He gave one cent to everyone, without distinction.
The three continued to hide in the bushes and watch the show, when another colleague came.
Liu Gongli walked into the yamen with a swagger, but when he saw Sun Shan, he immediately tightened his pace and straightened his posture.
Greet respectfully: "Lord Sun, good luck and good fortune to you."
Sun Shan nodded and replied, "Clerk Liu, Happy New Year."
After he finished speaking, he handed over another red envelope and said with a smile: "Good luck in opening the office, good luck and good fortune, and everything will go smoothly."
Liu Gongli was delighted and took the red envelope from Sun Shan, smiling happily: "Thank you, sir."
Could it be that this is the red envelope given by Lord Sun as a recognition of my work in the past year?
I wonder how much is in there?
It's very thin, at least eight taels, right?
Engineer Liu happily took the red envelope and prepared to return to his workstation.
County Magistrate Wang and his two companions did not stop Liu Gongli. Seeing the identical scene, they knew without a doubt that the money contained one penny of silver.
Haha, the happier Mr. Liu is laughing now, the more sad he will be waiting.
Mr. Sun has always been a stingy person, so how could he give such a huge sum of money?
Alas, they thought too much and had unrealistic fantasies about Lord Sun. It’s all their fault.
Wang Xiancheng saw that the following drama was repeating itself over and over again, so he stopped watching and said to his colleagues, "I will go back first, you guys continue."
County Magistrate Wang ran away, and Xia Dianli followed suit, and Wu Zhubo wanted to run away even more.
I got up early in the morning and hadn't eaten breakfast yet. My stomach was already growling with hunger. If County Magistrate Wang hadn't been there, I would have run back long ago.
Sun Shan was still standing at the gate, handing out red envelopes one by one.
As the hair was being distributed, Gui Ge'er said, "Brother Shan, the time has come."
It was to remind Sun Shan that the roll call time was over and it was time to go to work.
Sun Shan looked at the roster and found that many people on the payroll did not come to work, but those who were not on the payroll had reported for work early.
Seeing this, I couldn't help but feel depressed and really wanted to lose my temper.
It seems that those who have a regular job are tough, while those who don't have a regular job have to be humble.
Gui Ge'er also said angrily: "Brother Shan, they didn't even show up for duty on the first day. That's really too much. We need to teach them a lesson."
Gui Ge'er was right, so Sun Shan said to Master Zhang, "Master, please register who is late and who is absent today. If you are late, you will deduct half a month's salary, and if you are absent, you will deduct a month's salary."
Zhang Shiye quickly agreed: "Yes, sir, I will be here to watch over who comes, who is late, and who doesn't come. I will record it one by one. When the salary is paid, the money will be deducted accordingly."
In fact, County Magistrate Wang is right.
Sun Shan did not get angry right after taking office, but waited a year after taking office.
We were not familiar with each other at the beginning, so I was polite. Now that I know the details, I will be strict when I need to be strict, and relax when I need to relax.
For example, if you do not comply with the reporting time on the first day, you will be severely fined.
This is the first time, so the penalty is so light. If it happens again and again, don’t blame Sun Shan for being more severe and imposing higher fines in the future.
On the first day of duty, it is beneficial to report on time. If you are late, you will be fined half a month's salary. If you don't come to duty, you will be fined one month's salary.
The news spread throughout the yamen in just a few minutes.
County Magistrate Wang, Chief Secretary Wu, and Clerk Xia could not help but feel lucky that they had arrived early.
The three of them gathered together quietly again.
County Magistrate Wang said with a look of "Look, I'm smart, aren't I?" "I told you long ago that Lord Sun must have a purpose for standing at the gate. Look, the punishment has already begun on the first day."
Xia Dianli nodded repeatedly and said, "Your Excellency is right. Thank goodness I came here early today. The fine is a small matter; the most important thing is the humiliation."
Many officials do not make a living on wages, but mainly rely on gray income.
But when people found out that Sun Shan had been fined so much, he still felt very embarrassed.
Wu Zhubo didn't understand and asked, "Master Sun is too stingy. He didn't tell us before the holiday, but only carried out the order after the holiday. Alas, many people have had half a month's wages docked."
The news of the fine spread quickly throughout the government office and also to the officials' homes.
After hearing the news, many yamen runners who originally wanted to skip work hurried back to the yamen to report for duty.
Deducting half a month's salary is better than deducting a month's salary. The most important thing is that if they don't show up on the first day, Lord Sun will definitely remember it, and then they will be in trouble.
As for those who visited relatives and did not have time to get the news, there was nothing we could do to help them.
County Magistrate Wang shook his head and said, "This year has been tough. I think Lord Sun will do a great job of rectifying the government office."
The old fox Sun Shan has finally shown his true colors.
When he first came, he was polite and seemed kind.
Haha, now that I’m familiar with it, its true colors are revealed.
Their future will not be easy, so they can only wish them good luck!
