When it was noon, it was time for lunch. Li Hao saw that all the officials in the hall had no intention of eating, so he prepared to pay for people to buy some food, but he did not expect that Jia Cang Cao would bring someone back.

I brought the lunch box over.

When Li Hao saw it, he asked out of curiosity: "Where did this food come from? The government is in charge of food."

After hearing this, Jia Cangcao said: "This is a gallery meal. It is prepared by the public kitchen. As a rule, breakfast and lunch are provided every day. If there are official matters that need to be dealt with in the evening, dinner can also be provided according to the amount."

"Sir, you can tell me in advance what you want to eat tomorrow and I will make arrangements."

After hearing this, Li Hao reacted: "Is Cang Cao also responsible for this?" Then he looked at the others and asked, "Is everyone in the house responsible for this?"

Jia Cangcao replied: "I, Cangcao, am responsible for the rural cooking. In fact, most of the chores in the house are under the control of Cangcao, so if you have something to do, just give me your orders. As for the dining room, all the officials in the house are responsible for it."

Yes, but after the meal starts, most people go to eat on their own."

After hearing this, Li Hao said: "That's it. It seems that I still need to understand a lot of things slowly."

After hearing this, Jia Cangcao said: "It's normal for your Excellency to come here for the first time and I don't know many details. Of course, that's why I haven't explained it to you in detail." After self-examination, he still asked: "Your Excellency, do you have any favorite dishes?

I can make arrangements for you tomorrow."

Li Hao said: "No need to bother, I will just eat normally. There is nothing special."

After hearing this, Jia Cangcao said: "Well, I will leave now. In addition, after you finish your meal, just put the things aside, and someone will come to collect them." After receiving a response, he left.

go out.

When Li Hao opened the lunch box, he found that the work meal was quite rich. The roasted mutton, fruits, vegetables and meat were well matched. Then he tasted it and found that the taste was quite good. He couldn't help but feel that this job is really good, and it also includes food.

.

After finishing the meal, he put the lunch box aside, then leaned on the chair and closed his eyes for a while to relax.

After all the officials below had eaten and returned, he ordered people to bring the official records of each department in Kaifeng Prefecture. Because Li Hao found that he thought he understood the specific responsibilities of each department, so he was prepared to study them carefully.

The specific responsibilities of the company are the same as in the past.

As a result, this study found that the authority of Kaifeng Prefecture is great, and the details of the powers and responsibilities of each department are beyond my imagination. First of all, in terms of criminal law, all prison lawsuits committed in the capital are subject to trial. Small matters can be decided by oneself, and major matters can be directly faced by the saint. If

With the emperor's order, even the Ministry of Punishment and the Yushitai have no right to interfere. In terms of specific punishments and prisons, the Si Lu Si, Fa Cao, and the Left and Right Military Inspection Yuan all share the responsibility, but at the same time, they are also responsible for reviewing cases raised by objections from other departments.

, strict management.

The same is basically true for other departments. Looking at the work content of Cangcao, Li Hao also discovered the work of allocating official residences. Of course, the assigned official residences were not very good, but he still asked Li Hao to deal with the Song Dynasty.

I am satisfied with the welfare of officials. After all, food and accommodation are included.

The whole afternoon passed while Li Hao was studying documents. At Yin Shi, it was the time for officials to leave their offices. Li Hao then sent someone to invite Jia Cang Cao, Zhang Hu Cao, and Cao Shi Cao, and then

Leave the government office together.

At this time, the three of them had changed into civilian clothes. Li Hao also felt that the official clothes he was wearing were inappropriate. When he left the government office, he happened to see Fu Deng outside.

Li Hao went to the car to change into his casual clothes, and then asked Fu Deng to go back home without waiting any longer.

Next, the four of them went to Fanlou together. When they arrived at Fanlou, Li Hao asked the three of them to order. The three refused and said that they wanted Li Hao to call. So Li Hao ordered a table of wine and food and waited for the food and wine.

After coming up.

Li Hao raised his glass and said: "You all know that I have just entered the officialdom. In the future, I will need the help of three people in the government office. I would like to toast you all today."

The three people raised their glasses quickly, and then Cao Shicao said: "We will do our best to assist you." The other two people also agreed.

Later, while the four of them were drinking and eating, the three of them listened and inquired about Li Hao's general actions and direction for his subsequent official career.

After hearing this, Li Hao said: "How can I have any ideas now? Mr. Fu Yin also mentioned this to me before. I said that now I am just a follower of Xiao Gui and Cao Cao. After all, everything you have done under Cai Xueshi's tenure

Everything is fine, then just keep it up."

After hearing Li Hao's words, the three of them felt a lot more at ease.

So at the next wine table, Li Hao started chatting with the three of them in a hazy manner. At this point, after experiencing countless nonsense literature in later generations, Li Hao successfully made the three of them dizzy.

The banquet was not going to break up until 4:00 a.m. The other three people were rushing to settle the accounts and said they wanted to entertain Li Hao, but Li Hao could not agree. After the accounts were settled, Li Hao let the three people leave.

Went.

Then he went home on his own. When he arrived at Kaifeng Mansion the next day, Li Hao heard that Judge Cai Ju had ordered Mao today, so he came to visit him.

After the announcement, Li Hao entered the left hall and met Judge Cai. He was also a powerful figure. He entered the officialdom from Guangnan Regent as an elected son and served two terms for six years before entering the official position.

He was an official. Later, he was transferred back to Kaifeng Mansion to serve in the Qingming Dynasty because of the official administration during his tenure. This was extremely rare in the Song Dynasty.

However, it was obvious that Judge Cai was not very interested in a young man like Li Hao who was born as a Jinshi and could catch up with his half-life hard work as soon as he entered the officialdom. He simply chatted with Li Hao for a few words and then let people see him off.

.

In the days that followed, Li Hao lived a good life in which he ordered his meals on time and left the office on time. He had nothing to do in the government office on weekdays. In addition to working as usual, he also checked the account books and records on weekdays, and corrected the three official documents normally.

There was no special move, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

On the contrary, the Secretary of Records, the Left and Right Military Inspection Court, and other chief officers of the Six Cao Middle School would come to visit and greet them from time to time. Naturally, Li Hao received them in a friendly and cordial manner, and communicated with them.

However, when checking the accounts, Li Hao sorted out the retest accounting method of the four-pillar debit and credit method used today. To be honest, this retest accounting method is already extremely advanced in this era, but for this reason, it is relatively

The threshold is high and the calculations are complicated, making it easy for people to manipulate it.

So Li Hao used the debit and credit accounting method to reorganize the accounts in his spare time and check whether there were any problems with the accounts.

It's just that Li Hao used Arabic numerals, and everyone really couldn't understand what Li Hao was writing. They just thought that Li Hao was just doing ghost drawings for nothing. But everyone was a subordinate, so naturally no one took care of this matter.

However, when Ouyang Xiu found out later, he specially called Li Hao to the house one day after he was released from office, and asked: "In recent days, I have always heard that you are often drawing some messy things when you are working in the right hall.

Of course I understand your temperament, so I won't do anything useless, but what exactly do you want to do?"

After hearing this, Li Hao smiled and said: "Uncle, that is not a mess. When it is done, my uncle will be happy when he sees it. But let me give it a try first, and I will finish it in a few days.

Bring it to your uncle and he will know."

After hearing this, Ouyang Xiu said: "Okay, then let me see if you can come up with something good. In addition, you should pay attention to yourself and don't cause everyone to argue. That will not be good after all."

After hearing this, Li Hao said: "I know, uncle. I will pay attention to it later."

However, when Li Hao was chatting with Ouyang Xiu, he saw Mrs. Xue walking in from the backyard, accompanied by a young man wearing a t-shirt with a handsome face and a tall and straight posture. Li Hao felt that she was better than him.

A little bit more handsome.

Then Mrs. Xue introduced to Li Hao: "This is my eldest son Ouyang Fa, courtesy name Bohe. He has just returned to Bianjing. I just want you to meet him today."

Then he said to Ouyang Fa: "This is Li Hao I mentioned to you."

After hearing this, the two of them greeted each other and sat down again. Xue said to Li Hao: "Brother Fa is coming back to discuss marriage, so do you have anyone you want to meet?"
