I have lived forever since the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 363 New problems arise again

The next day.

After the routine morning session, Chen Luo went to the front hall to work.

Since the dynasty of Emperor Gaozu, the old practice of censors and their subordinates working in the front hall of the palace has continued.

After all, the imperial censor is responsible for examining and approving documents conveyed to local vassal states and princes, while the censor Zhongcheng is responsible for approving documents conveyed to various counties.

If their offices are set up too far away, when there are urgent matters that need to be reported, they will have to go through the access control before being sent to the palace, making it impossible to reach the emperor smoothly.

But what Chen Luo likes most is that he doesn't have to walk far to work. After half an hour's walk, he can sit in front of his desk and work again.

When they arrived at the place, many of Chen Luo's colleagues took the initiative to greet him as soon as he entered.

He responded politely.

These respects are earned by one's abilities and have nothing to do with his status as a descendant of the Chen family in Yangxia.

He was appointed by Liu Che to serve as Yilang, so he came down by air.

Anyone who has had work experience knows that for a colleague with this kind of background, he may not express his malice openly, but he will definitely murmur a few words in private in a small circle, feeling that the other person is purely relying on his background to rise to the top. .

This situation has existed since ancient times and has never changed.

It's just that the aura of being a descendant of the Yangxia Chen family in him can eliminate most of the malice, leaving only a little bit of harmless jealousy.

According to Zhao Wan's plan, in the first three months, Chen Luo only needs to help his colleagues, do some auxiliary work, and learn the specific requirements of the position.

After all, even if you get to this position step by step, you still need to go through an "internship period" to understand what needs to be done as censor and how to do it well.

What's more, Chen Luo is a pure novice.

When everyone thought that Chen Luo was just here to get a layer of gold, Chen Luo showed great ability in his position and shocked everyone.

In their impression, Chen Luo seemed to have passed the entire novice stage in just three to five days.

Then at the end of the first month, he was no worse than everyone in this front hall in handling affairs.

By the end of the third month, the novice period originally envisioned by everyone was over. Chen Luo had already topped the Censorship Department in terms of handling affairs, and could still fish occasionally.

In the analysis of certain documents, Chen Luo's insight impressed them even more.

For example, Yanmen County was invaded by the Huns in November last year. The county governor and the county lieutenant wrote letters at the same time to impeach each other.

The reason given by the county guard was that the county captain failed to take precautions and did not respond adequately when the Huns invaded, resulting in the border area being plundered.

The county lieutenant impeached the county guard for not allocating enough money for military training, so he was unable to recruit soldiers for training. The omission in defense this time was purely due to the county guard's problem.

In the past, when we saw this kind of conflicting documents, it often took two or three months of investigation, or even sending envoys to explore the situation on the spot, before we could draw a suitable conclusion.

However, Chen Luo chose to read some previous documents and data and found that there was no grudge between the governor and the lieutenant of Yanmen County, so they ruled out attacking each other. However, during the autumn harvest season in September, Yanmen County was harassed once. Farming work was delayed.

With this prerequisite existing, it will indeed be difficult for Yanmen County to allocate enough food for soldier training and supply patrols as the county captain said. Moreover, judging from the large-scale harassment records of the Xiongnu in previous years, Yanmen County was The number of monthly attacks is extremely rare.

Probably the governor of Yanmen County was also thinking of luck.

Therefore, based on other circumstances, there is no substantial error in the content of the report by the county captain.

But the reason why such a thing happened was not caused subjectively by the prefect of Yanmen County.

Therefore, this analysis was sent to Liu Che together with two documents. The final decree was to punish the prefect of Yanmen County, but the punishment was not severe, and the decree was more encouraging of sincere cooperation.

However, Chen Luo's performance really surprised his colleagues.

We usually organize and classify documents, but when we see this kind of nonsense, we feel overwhelmed. You have to analyze it logically, but we are actually as interested in it as if we were listening to a comedy, and it makes sense?

You are such a special girl and a talented person!

As similar things happened many times and became the norm, everyone gradually began to become numb.

This child is inhuman.

We just finish our own work well and then take advantage of it. Don't think about competing for business.

The reason why Chen Luo shows off his edge unabashedly is mainly because he is currently in the "novice protection period" stage.

Now that he has a background from the Yangxia Chen family in the Han Dynasty, those powerful ministers who have the power to target him will often be wary of this identity. In addition, he is just a small advisor, and after all, he can't pull that face off. Come.

As for Xiao Xiami who doesn't have the strength to deal with him, don't worry.

However, Chen Luo understands one truth, that is, relying on his status as a descendant of the Chen family in Yangxia, he can only guarantee the lowest limit.

If he just wants to live an ordinary life in this life and be sent out to be a county guard or a sinecure among the nine ministers, then this level of identity is enough to protect him for a safe life.

But under Liu Che's rule, the Han Dynasty became popular, and countless opportunities more precious than gold continued to emerge.

If he did nothing and missed the opportunity to create this prosperous world, Chen Luo felt that he would definitely regret it.

If I become an ordinary county guard and a puppet mascot, how will I be able to conduct the Northern Expedition against the Huns in the future, and how will I check in at Langjuxu Mountain?

If you choose to work hard, you will eventually encounter political opponents and suffer all kinds of suppression.

The current political environment in the Han Dynasty is no longer as simple as it was in the early Han Dynasty.

Back then, everyone was fighting against the world together, blocking each other's knives. Even if they had different political opinions, they would end up blushing at most, but they would not fight to the death because of it.

Nowadays, the big bosses of various factions in the court no longer have the kind of life-or-death friendship with each other. In the face of real interests, asking them to spit out their fat is like a dream.

Besides, times have changed.

In the early Han Dynasty, the world was in ruins, and even the emperor was having a hard time. Most of the power was used for construction. It was not easy to exchange it for substantial benefits, let alone a censor like Chen Luo. Staring.

Now, after the accumulation of four dynasties, most people in the world are rich, allowing officials to see the oil and water that can be squeezed out.

Interest is the eternal source of struggle.

If you want to go to higher places, it will inevitably go against the interests of some people.

In that case, they will definitely create various obstacles for Chen Luo.

From a long-term perspective, such problems are inevitable.

But Chen Luo was not worried.

When Liu Che employs people, he values ​​ability and status the most. Both are indispensable, and ability comes before status.

Comparing his status, Chen Luonai was a descendant of the Chen family in Yangxia, and his trust in the emperor's heart was probably no lower than that of his relatives.

As for the competition in ability, he didn't defeat anyone.

In a single round of war, I can't compare to those uncles and nephews; in a single round of economics, I don't have Sang Hongyang's ability to make money; in a single round of academics, I probably can't compete with Dong Zhongshu.     But he is better in all aspects.

Liu Che looked at Chen Luo, who could not only fight, but also govern and manage the rear. The most important thing was that he could also talk poetry and show off with him. Wouldn't he want to use him in a more important role?

At the same time, seeing Chen Luo walking into the palace, Zhao Wan saluted and started arranging today's tasks, "Chen Yilang, you are responsible for handling the documents submitted by Nanjun and Jiangxiajun today, sort them out and give them to me. "

Ordinary censors are probably two people responsible for checking the affairs of a county to avoid omissions.

That simply restricted Chen Luo's performance.

He took over half the county's documents and read them all in less than two-quarters of an hour, classifying them perfectly. If there were no other tasks at hand, he could only sit in the palace.

Able people should do more work.

In addition, Zhao Wan would not embezzle the merits. Every time Liu Che asked about the performance of the censors, he would be the first to mention Chen Luo, commend them vigorously, and not hesitate to praise them.

If it weren't for the fact that Chen Luo had not been the Yilang for a long time and needed to accumulate seniority and formal merits, he would have been promoted to a higher position long ago.

"Okay, I'll go and see it right away." Chen Luo nodded and responded.

He had become extremely familiar with things like sorting out documents during his more than ten years as a censor in the early Han Dynasty.

The functions of the Censorship Department have not fundamentally changed until now, and the tasks they need to be responsible for are basically the same as those in the early Han Dynasty.

If I wasn't afraid of scaring my colleagues, I would be responsible for sorting out nearly half of the documents by myself, and there would be no problem at all.

Now I only have to deal with the documents of the two counties, which is very easy for me.

After walking to the desk where he sat and sitting down, Chen Luo began to open the documents sent by the local counties.

According to the requirements, he needs to organize these documents into categories according to the types of affairs. If possible, he can find out the difficult problems and mark them as reminders.

After looking through the first few documents sent from Nanjun, Chen Luo frowned slightly.

He put aside the documents from Nan County for the time being and chose to quickly look through the documents from Jiangxia County, and found that what he was thinking was completely confirmed.

Tapping his fingers lightly on the desk, after thinking for a moment, Chen Luo suddenly stood up and walked towards the desk where Zhao Wan was.

"What's wrong with Boyu?" Zhao Wan looked confused.

The other party processed the documents very quickly, but it would not take less than a quarter of an hour to settle all the affairs in the two counties.

According to common sense, I am afraid that I have not even read the specific contents of the document.

Therefore, when he saw the other party coming over, he probably had something else he wanted to discuss with him.

"Doctor Zhao, who is handling the documents of Changsha State, Lujiang County, and Yuzhang County today? I would like to borrow them for a look." Chen Luo made his request.

Zhao Wan narrowed her eyes and recalled: "The clerical work in these places, well, the clerical work in Lujiang County and Yuzhang County is led by Zhang Yilang and Cao Yilang respectively. As for the clerical work in Changsha Kingdom, it is under the leadership of Zhang Yilang. I'm here.

What, does Boyu have something important? "

"I want to borrow it for a look." Chen Luo looked calm, "But I haven't made a judgment yet about what it is exactly. I will wait until I finish reading it."

The matter he judged was of great importance. If he was not sure, he would not dare to say it directly in public to avoid causing panic.

"Okay." Zhao Wan didn't ask any more questions.

He rummaged through the papers for a while, found several documents from the Changsha Kingdom among the thick stacks of paper, and handed them to Chen Luo.

Anyway, except for the documents that are specially marked as confidential, the rest of the content can be viewed by the censor, but almost no censor will take the leisure to read the work of other people after finishing the part they are responsible for.

"Thank you, Doctor Zhao." After saying that, Chen Luo took the documents, found a place out of the way, and read them carefully.

After about a quarter of an hour or two, Chen Luo returned the documents to Zhao Wan and left in a hurry towards the other two Yi Langs.

Zhao Wan took the Changsha Chinese document, rubbed her chin, and looked at it curiously.

What exactly is it that makes Boyu come to see him specially?

He took a cursory glance and found that nothing seemed to happen in Changsha Kingdom.

The country of South Vietnam was peaceful and quiet, and the immortal Zhao Tuo was still alive.

There are no bandits in the area, and the caravans are running smoothly.

The agricultural work coincided with spring plowing, and there was abundant rain. It rained continuously for several days.

There was not even a single corruption case.

What is Boyu nervous about?

No wonder Zhao Wan was confused. After all, there were only a few major local events that required the court to pay attention to. Other than that, basic affairs were handled by the county governor. Otherwise, with his salary of two thousand dan, he would not be able to make a living.

Putting aside the doubts in his heart, he put aside the documents from Changsha Kingdom.

According to his usual order, he first looked through the documents of Dai Guo.

After all, the Huns are rampant, and the probability of problems at the border is often greater than in the Central Plains and the South. Therefore, it is not surprising that there is such a sequence.

After the matter of Dai Guo was settled, Zhao Wan saw Chen Luo walking over again, his pace obviously a little more hasty than when he left.

What really happened?

So he took a deep breath, lowered his voice and asked, "Is there something happening in these counties that has not been reported?"

You must know that some county guards will choose to conceal the report before the matter is completely suppressed for the sake of their official positions.

Boyu just checked the documents of several counties in the south. If the county guards in these places all choose to conceal the report, it will indeed be a big deal.

Chen Luo put the documents on the slips, looked solemnly, and spoke quickly, "Doctor Zhao, there is something going on in the southern counties, and it is by no means a trivial matter."

These words made Zhao Wan's heart tighten.

The other party is not the kind of person who talks freely. He said there will be big things, which cannot be ignored.

"What is the specific situation? Let's go and talk to the side?" Zhao Wan indicated with her eyes.

Then, the two walked to a more secluded part of the hall.

Exhaling a breath, Zhao Wan pursed her lips and asked, "What on earth is going on?"

"Judging from the documents from various places in the south, the spring rain has continued for ten days. Documents from various places have confirmed this with each other. I am afraid that there will be floods, which will prevent the people from spring plowing. It is not a big deal. If the river breaks its embankments, various accidents will occur. ... This matter involves several counties and must be reported to His Majesty immediately for preventive measures and early response." Chen Luo reported his analysis in one breath without pausing.

After a long silence, Zhao Wan nodded heavily.
