Settled in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 379 Leaving Beijing to escape the summer heat
"Wang!"

Mantou, who was lying next to Baozi to sleep in the shade, suddenly raised his head and let out a cry. His eyes were looking out of the window, and a warning sound came from his throat, and the hair on his back stood on end.

Xue Lang was startled, and asked, "Who's there?"

A female voice suddenly sounded outside the window: "A Kou pays homage to the son-in-law!"

It turned out to be Ako!The ground in China, no matter ancient or modern, is evil!This just slandered someone, but the person who slandered him came!

Xue Lang's mood was very complicated. He looked at the short sleeves and shorts on his body, and while pulling the long shirt on one side to put it on, he patted Mantou's dog's head to comfort it. Then he walked to the window and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Master has a letter, and ordered Akoo to hand it over to the son-in-law."

"Ok."

Xue Lang opened the window, it was dark outside, and he couldn't see where Ako was, a snow-white hand suddenly stretched out, holding a letter in it——

Xue Lang was startled, it turned out that Ako was holding the bracket with one hand, hiding under the eaves lightly.After receiving the letter, Akoo nodded towards Xue Lang, exerted a slight force on his arm, and looked effortless, flipped it over lightly, and the person had climbed onto the roof and disappeared into the darkness.

Xue Lang opened the letter, and by looking at the handwriting, he knew that it was written by Princess Pingyang herself.The letter said that the sage will go to the Renzhi Palace to escape the summer, and the sage intends to order Princess Pingyang and Xue Lang to accompany him, so that Xue Lang can prepare.

Sure enough, after receiving the letter, the next day, the little yellow gate in front of the saint came to send an order——

Five days later, the sage visited Renzhi Palace to escape the summer heat, accompanied by King Qin, King Qi, Princess Pingyang and Xue Lang.

It is a great honor to be selected by the saint to accompany him. With so many concubines in Chang'an, only Xue Lang was selected.Besides, it's better than being in Chang'an if you can go to escape the summer heat.

Xue Lang called Zhang Anzhi in: "The sage called me to accompany me to the Renzhi Palace for the summer vacation. The ministry's work and various rules and regulations have been perfected. During my absence, I will be under your supervision. I have one requirement and strictly implement it." All the rules and regulations I set, whoever has an opinion, let him come to Renzhi Palace to find me, otherwise, you don’t have to pay attention to it. I will coordinate with Pei Shangshu for the rest. If someone makes things difficult for you, you don’t have to be afraid. Put it all on me."

"Here!"

Zhang Anzhi responded, raised his eyes to look at Xue Lang, hesitated to speak.Xue Lang naturally took his expression into his eyes and said, "What do you want to say? Say it."

Zhang Anzhi hesitated in silence for a while, and said decisively: "Recently, my subordinates have heard some bad words, and now the servant is going out of the city with the saint to escape the summer heat, I'm afraid..."

Zhang Anzhi didn't finish.Xue Lang said calmly: "What are you afraid of? There is a saying that it is a mediocrity not to be envied by others! I act uprightly, sit upright, and I never take a few criticisms to heart. Besides, I can use other means Do you still need to criticize me? It’s just the venting of the weak and incompetent, so don’t take it to heart. One day those villains have the guts to say it in front of me, that’s a big deal! I don’t want anyone in the Ministry of Finance Participate, after all, we are our own family, if my family is holding me back like this, then the joke will be too big!"

Zhang Anzhi straightened his spine: "Here!"

"If there is anything that cannot be decided, I can only trouble you to work harder and send someone to my house to inform the steward, and the steward will send someone to report it to me immediately."

"Here."

After explaining a few words to Zhang Anzhi and asking people to gather the staff of the Ministry of Finance, Xue Lang once again emphasized the importance of rules and regulations——

Since he became familiar with the business of the Ministry of Finance, he combined the modern financial system to organize the rules and regulations of the Ministry of Finance, reformulated and supplemented some, and then implemented them according to the rules, and all aspects of regulation and safety have improved.

"It must be strictly implemented in accordance with the rules and regulations I have set. Anyone who violates it will be held accountable. This is not negotiable! These days when I am away, Director An Zhi, I hope everyone will work together to assist him. When I come back, I will give everyone Credit! If anyone doesn't give him face, then he won't give me face. I'm sorry, I will settle the score when I come back! The positions of Beijing officials are limited, and everyone will cherish them!"

Xue Lang said it very bluntly, everyone glanced at him quietly, seeing that his expression was serious, he didn't seem to be joking, their hearts shivered, and they all agreed.

After training his subordinates, Xue Lang went to find Pei Ju again.Naturally, Pei Ju also knew that he was going out of the palace with the sage to escape the summer heat. Under the order of the sage, the Ministry of Civil Affairs had no choice but to cooperate.

"Is the business arranged?"

"Back to Duke Pei, the arrangements have been made, and everything will be handed over to Zhang Anzhi for the time being."

"Zhang Anzhi is a mature and prudent person who can be entrusted to. Speaking of which, Youyang has been in the Ministry of Civil Affairs for almost half a year, right?"

Pei Ju asked.Xue Lang calculated with his fingers, since he came to the Ministry of Civil Affairs in the first month, it has been almost half a year now in June!It's been so long before I know it!
"It's almost half a year since I returned to Duke Pei."

Pei Ju pondered and said: "Since Youyang took over, the affairs of the Ministry of Finance have improved a lot. The old man thought that when Youyang came back with the sage to escape the summer, he would also assign the Warehouse Department to Youyang for management. Only in this way can we enter the Ministry of Civil Affairs. On track."

Xue Lang thought for a while, and said: "Everything is arranged by Peigong."

Pei Ju nodded in satisfaction, gestured his hands, and told him to go back and prepare for the trip after finishing his official duties.

With Pei Ju's approval, Xue Lang was naturally much more convenient, arranged his official business, and went home to prepare things for travel.Xue Lang didn't care about Su Han being in Princess Pingyang's entourage. He just told the housekeeper Xue Si not to neglect the affairs of Jianglin's mansion when he was not in Chang'an.

Take care of the chores, and on the day of travel, get up early in the morning and set off with the saint's team.The sage travels differently from others. Even if he is light and simple, the queue is still long and long.

Renzhi Palace is about [-] miles away from Chang'an, and the speed of the large group traveling is naturally not fast, at least it will take a long time to travel.At this time, there is no asphalt road, and the whole road is dirt road. When a gust of wind blows, the sky is filled with dust, which is very ecstasy.

Xue Lang had the foresight to prepare a plain handkerchief to cover his mouth and nose, and when he went out of the city, someone called Su Han to his car. The two of them played chess to pass the time. Su Han couldn't help but stare at Xue Lang's outfit. With a smile, he teased: "You Yang dresses up like this, but is he going to be a thief?"

Xue Lang rolled his eyes: "This is dustproof, I don't want to eat a mouthful of dust."

Seeing this, Su Han followed Xue Lang's example, and it was much easier to cover his face with a simple handkerchief. In this way, no one had to laugh at anyone, but Chang Jian watched the two of them face to face with their faces covered. Sitting and playing chess, besides having a toothache, I became much alerter——

If the scene of two masked men sitting facing each other and playing chess is shown to outsiders, it will become a big joke!

Obviously, Changjian's prayer was obviously not heard by God.Saints call!
Xue Lang had no choice but to leave Su Han behind, and asked someone to bring his gentle little mare, and rode on to meet the saint.However, he forgot to take off the handkerchief covering his face.
