The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1377
Although it is only to check the local household registration and issue a written certificate for the children, it can't stand the large number of children in this village, and the work is concentrated in one or two days. Can you not be busy?
Although I am busy, I haven't had such a fulfilling day in a long time. I am very happy to be so busy once in a while. At least, in the hearts of the people, as a government clerk, there is still a day when I can be needed.

Before entering the government as a scribe, every young man had a passion to serve the country and put up his pen to serve the country, but the final result was not very gratifying. After the Spring Festival, those who were not selected by the court could only go to the local Being a scribe in the government office has been going on for a long time, and the original temperament has been smoothed out. I have nothing to do on weekdays, and I spend nine to five days in the government office. No matter how hardworking people are, it is easy to slack off after a long time.

The thought of serving the country and benefiting the people as promised has faded away.

But in these two days, the official scribes finally felt the mood of being needed by the people.

Moreover, when the common people come to issue documents for their children, it is also for the purpose of allowing their children to go to school. For the common people, this is an important matter, and it is what officials should do to solve problems for the common people.

It must also be said that during the Zhenguan period, the rectification was indeed clear, and there were corrupt officials, but most people, educated by orthodox Confucianism and serving as local officials, still knew what to do and what not to do, and their minds were mostly righteous.

It cannot be said that Confucianism is mostly just a bad thing in court, at least most of the students taught are gentlemen with awe-inspiring righteousness. After a long time in the officialdom, they also know what tact is. Yes, this is what Datang needs most.

"Then, can you take a look at the household registration certificate of the government?" His Majesty Li Er asked.

"Hey, that's it." The old man smiled and said, "It's not a difficult thing to do, just go to the government, report your name, and the people in the government will issue a certificate, proving that my grandson is indeed within the age of enrollment in the academy, This official seal is enough."

His Majesty Li Er nodded: "So that's how it is. All the people in the Zhuangzi went to the government to apply for this certificate. Will the people in the government handle it?"

"Do it? Why don't you do it? When the old man brought his grandson to the government, there were many people in the government. Can wait for the next day."

"It seems that the clerks of this government are also diligent." His Majesty Li Er was very satisfied when he heard the old man say this. It seems that the officials below are still very diligent for the people and have lived up to the court's high expectations for them.

Just such a incident made His Majesty Li Er very impressed with the clerks of the government in this area.

"Deyi, after you go back, let someone check it out. There are government offices in the academy that have issued these household registration certificates." His Majesty Li Er said.

"Yes, my lord." Deyi responded.

As soon as the old man heard His Majesty Li Er's tone, he thought that this must be a high-ranking official from Chang'an City, and that this was a private visit from Weifu.

His Majesty Li Er chatted with the old man again. At this moment, the guard who had gone in to report the letter came out of the academy, came to His Majesty Li Er, and bowed to salute.

"My lord, come with the young ones."

"Where's your father-in-law?" His Majesty Li Er asked.

"Returning to the nobleman, the father-in-law is busy with the registration of the students inside, and is looking for someone to take over the job. After the arrangement is completed, he can leave to see the nobleman. I hope the nobleman will forgive your sins. The nobleman will go to the reception room of the academy first with the younger one. Have a cup of tea and wait a while."

"No need, just take me to see your father-in-law." His Majesty Li Er said.

"This..." the guard pondered for a while, and then responded: "Yes, please come this way, my lord."

The imperial army stayed outside, and His Majesty Li Er only brought Deyi into the academy alone. On the large square in the front yard of the academy, there was a long queue in front of ten tables. Today is the first day that the academy opens for registration. People who came Naturally, there are quite a few, and it is still early. Before His Majesty Li Er arrived, the academy had just started to register.

Xuan Shijing's seat is on the far left, and he has already sent someone to the academy to find someone to come over, but he still has to sit here before someone comes over.

Before he could go to see His Majesty Li Er, His Majesty Li Er came to Xuan Shijing with Deyi.

When Xuan Shijing looked up, he saw His Majesty Li Er and Deyi, and quickly put down the pen in his hand, and was about to stand up, but was pressed down by His Majesty Li Er.

"Busy business, I just came to have a look." His Majesty Li Er said: "It seems that your academy is really welcome."

"Don't dare, dare not." Xuan Shijing said with a smile: "Everything is thanks to your blessing. If it weren't for your support back then, this academy would not be what it is today."

His Majesty Li Er heard the words and smiled: "Well, I didn't expect that it was just an ordinary academy at the beginning, and it only took two years to develop into this appearance. Well, although it is not a grand scene to educate the people, But if you don’t accumulate a few steps, you can’t reach a thousand miles, good, good.”

His Majesty Li Er stood beside Xuan Shijing, looking around the academy, feeling constantly moved.On Xuan Shijing's side, she was cautious and almost had two purposes, helping the students in front of her to take notes, and paying attention to His Majesty Li Er at the same time.

Finally, the person who replaced him came over, and he was also a gentleman from the academy. Xuan Shijing got up and made way for the gentleman to sit down, while Xuan Shijing accompanied His Majesty Li Er to the reception room of the academy.

The reception room of the academy is on the left side of the front yard, facing the study room far away. The decoration of the reception room is much more luxurious than the study room. After all, this is the facade of the academy, and it is easy to receive foreign guests.

"Your Majesty, please." Xuan Shijing stood at the door, asking His Majesty Li Er to go in first, and then walked into the reception room by himself.

The decoration of the reception room is almost the same as the decoration of the hall of the princess mansion in Daozhengfang. The people who come to the academy are generally learned gentlemen from other places, and occasionally there are officials from Chang'an City, but in terms of identity, they can go beyond the mysterious. Shijing’s or Gao Shilian’s and Xiao Yu’s are very few, so there is no mention of the main seat. There are solid wood sofas in a circle, and a big coffee table in the middle. They often come to sit and drink tea together. What.

But this kind of layout is used to receive the emperor, which is a bit inappropriate.

Xuan Shijing didn't expect the emperor to visit his academy in private. When the academy was designed and built, it was a bit idealistic. It didn't even consider the emperor's status. seat or something
