The bad emperor of Tang Dynasty

The day before the new official took office, Emperor Daizong who lived in the Daming Palace, that is, Guo Nuan's cheap father-in-law, received him.At first, Guo Nuan was a little nervous about meeting the top leader of Datang.

You must know that in the previous life, the biggest official he had ever met was a governor. That was the time when the governor visited the company base of Guo Nuan to inspect the development of foreign-funded enterprises. I had the honor to shake hands with the governor.

However, Daizong also looks like a very peaceful old man, talking and laughing. At the family banquet set up in the palace, Guo Nuan, Daizong, Shengping's wife, and his own mother Wang's four people, the small banquet was very happy. , talking and laughing, just like gathering with relatives in ordinary people's homes.

When it came to the fact that Guo Nuan, the son-in-law, was about to take the post of Jing Zhaoyin, Daizong's face was heavy, and he patted Guo Nuan on the shoulder, signaling him to do a good job, which was exactly what the elders expected from the younger generation.Looking at her father-in-law's demeanor, Guo Nuan knew that this job must not be a good one, but since she was accepted, she had to take it even if she had to bite the bullet. Guo Nuan was the kind of person who would not admit defeat by nature.

The days are fast and busy, and Guo Nuan's days as the No. [-] scholar have suddenly reached the fourth day.Early this morning, Guo Nuan took a bunch of ordinary daily household items with him, and then he took two people into the carriage and hurriedly set off towards the Jingzhao Mansion Office under the farewell of Shengping's gang.

As a Shangguan, Guo Nuan has two days of bathing every eight days, which is a holiday. Eight days are for office, board and lodging in the mansion. This holiday arrangement is compared to the modern civil servants who have two weekends every five days. The ancient holiday cycle But it will take much longer.Therefore, Guo Nuan tried his best to load the miscellaneous things such as daily necessities and daily necessities into the car, so as to save money on buying new things.This saves money.

Pu Shangxuan and Guo Nuan had worked in the Imperial Academy for two days earlier. Before leaving, Lao Pu said that he would study hard in the Imperial Academy and was determined to compile an encyclopedia about the Tang Dynasty. He said it might take a long time. Ten years, decades, but he will never give up. When he has compiled the book, he will bring it back to Silla and show it to the people of Silla, hoping that it will be helpful to the education of the motherland.

"Okay, this is also a good thing for the benefit of the cultural circles of Silla. My brother supports you."

At that time, I was very moved. Seeing Pu Shangxuan clenched his fists and promised sincerely, Guo Nuan was also infected by Lao Pu's spirit. He secretly made up his mind to manage the Jingzhao Mansion well. The people here do something great that is beneficial to the people's livelihood.

Jingzhao Mansion, also known as Yongzhou Mansion, is a county government agency that manages Chang'an and about [-] surrounding counties. Jing Zhaoyin is equivalent to a prefect.

Due to the serious shortage of management personnel in Jingzhao Mansion recently, the number of yamen servants and official posts is insufficient, and there are too many counties and towns under management, which seriously slows down the efficiency of work. Daizong sent the relatively remote Haoquan, Zhouzhi, Counties and towns such as Xingping, Wugong, etc. that are relatively remote from the capital are drawn from the jurisdiction of Jingzhaoyin, the purpose is to reduce the workload of Jingzhaofu, but even so, after Guo Nuan took office, Jingzhaoyin still has a heavy burden .

Since Pu Shangxuan worked as a book repairer in the quiet Hanlin Academy, Luo Yuan, who Park Hao left to protect his nephew, did not need to be guarded. Thinking of the lack of people in the Jingzhao Mansion, Guo Nuan had not formed his own shogunate team, so he sent Luo Yuan They also got into the carriage, and of course Ah Fu.Guo Nuan reckoned that when he arrived at Jingzhao Mansion, Luo Yuan would be a military errand, and Ah Fu would be the accountant of Jingzhao Mansion.

"Brother Luo, if you do a good job, I will give you a meritorious service from Jingzhao Mansion to join the army." Guo Nuan joked to Luo Yuan on the carriage.

"Hehe, thank you brother Guo. Oh no, thank you Mr. Guo, brother Luo will work hard." Luo Yuan smirked and patted the back of his head.

Guo Nuan laughed happily at Luo Yuan's naive attitude, and then opened the curtain and said to Ah Fu who was driving outside the carriage: "Ah Fu, you can be my accountant of Jingzhao Mansion."

"Ah, what, can Ah Fu do it?" Ah Fu was startled as he drove the car. He felt a little stressed about this important task.

"Your own person, don't worry about using it, you won't manage accounts, it's fine, just learn slowly."

The three of them talked, and they came to the dilapidated Jingzhao Mansion. Although the gate of the mansion in front of them could be seen to have been repaired, it was much cleaner and tidy than Guo Nuan's private visit a few days ago. No dust or cobwebs, but still shabby.

Just as Guo Nuan and the others arrived at the gate of Jingzhao Mansion, they were about to get off the car when suddenly a group of people rushed out from the quiet gate of the mansion.

"Three squads of guardian guards, six executioners, one line of knives and axemen, two teams of headhunters, the government quota is 180, and there are actually 33 people. We welcome the new Lord Jingzhaofu to take office."

Immediately, two teams of official servants stood on both sides of the steps of the mansion, and they shouted welcome in unison under the leadership of a bearded and strong man.

"Okay, everyone, you've worked hard, so there's no need to be polite." Guo Nuan quickly jumped off the carriage, looked around at the yamen servants, and politely shouted to stop.Guo Nuan shook her head secretly, the staff gap was too bad, the yamen needed more than 100 people less.

The costumes of most officials are crooked. Some people wear their clothes backwards, some belts are not buckled properly, and some trousers are not matched properly. Like an official.

However, some of them were old men who were about to be in their seventies and eighties with wrinkled faces. They stood at attention tremblingly on the steps, leaning on black killing sticks, but their backs were so bent that they didn't stand up straight.

Guo Nuan looked at those old people as pitiful, and didn't want to abuse them, waved her hand, said a few good words, and quickly let the old, weak and remnant soldiers disperse. Everyone has no tasks for the time being, and they can do whatever they need to do when they return to the yamen.

"I'm the deputy head arrester of the mansion, He Ping, I'm here to greet your lord!"

Immediately, everyone dispersed, and the bearded He Ping hurried to Guo Nuan's side, and said respectfully.

"Uh, where is Boss Yan arresting her?" Guo Nuan was a little surprised that she didn't see Yan Ruoshui.

"The head catcher led a few catchers to Shilifang to catch the thief. He just set off this morning, and he specially asked the villain to stay to welcome the arrival of the adults." He Ping replied very neatly.

"Oh, why is there an old man in his 80s and [-]s working in the government office?" Guo Nuan raised the doubts he saw just now.

"This..." He Ping showed his face, pondered for a while, then smiled helplessly and said with embarrassment:

"My lord, you don't know that these elderly people are yamen servants who have worked in Jingzhao Mansion for decades and haven't changed. You know that they have worked as yamen servants for a lifetime, and there is hard work without credit.

Besides, now that the war has just ended, the imperial court's money is tight, and there is no money to allocate, and the life of the yamen is uncomfortable. The loyal old government servants in the mansion, in order to let them do some leisurely work to earn a meager salary, some work, so they never retired. "

Guo Nuan listened to He Ping's words with a heavy expression on his face.
