[4200+, barely enough to make up for two-in-one.]

However, it was said that Jiao Shun came out of the Baigong Department and since he did not have to deal with the trouble of writing the manuscript after five revisions, he returned to the miscellaneous office and directly called all the officials in the office and began to formally ask questions about government affairs.

In fact, there were not many people. Counting Jiao Shun himself, there were only seven people with serious official status, and only six people were actually present.

Even though the courtroom that serves as a living room is not large, it still looks empty and unpopular.

Moreover, there was not even a wooden frame in the public case, so Jiao Shun, who was used to watching costume dramas, always felt that something was missing in his hands.

Let’s not mention these details for now.

But at the beginning, Zhao Yan nervously handed over the contract document as agreed yesterday - to put it bluntly, it was a phased work summary.

Jiao Shun flipped through it casually and saw that some of the important things he had noticed in the past few days were basically mentioned in it, so he silently pressed it down with a paperweight and asked again: "Besides this, what else have you done recently?"

Is there any official business that I need to take care of?"

Zhao Yan was slightly relieved and glanced at the document under the paperweight with the corner of his eye. He didn't know whether he should be happy or worried.

"Cough~"

In the end, Liu Changyou coughed dryly, and then he woke up. He took half a step back and said, "There hasn't been any important business recently, except for this year's Tan Jing. Since the chief officer of the institute has been vacant,

It hasn’t been sent to Beijing yet..."

Having said this, he quickly clarified: "The lower officials and others are fine, but if they lack the filial piety from the superiors, I'm afraid they will be sad at the end of the year."

Isn’t this ice respect and carbon respect an unspoken rule of officialdom?

How come it can be said openly?

Jiao Shun said suspiciously: "What do you mean?"

"In my opinion, should we issue a formal reminder?"

This is getting more and more nonsense.

Isn't issuing a document urging people to send charcoal as tribute to others the same as openly asking for bribes?

For a moment, Jiao Shun even began to wonder if this guy was trying to dig a hole for himself again.

But to use this kind of thing as a trap is too brainless and straightforward, not to mention that he has just handed over such a big deal...

Perhaps seeing Jiao Shun's doubts, Zhao Yan hurriedly explained: "It is impossible to express clearly in writing. Your Excellency only needs to sign an official document to routinely urge everyone to prepare for cold and frost resistance. I will understand it now."

"

Tsk~

Hearing what he said, he was familiar with the road, Jiao Shun smacked his lips and asked: "Is there any precedent?"

"It's like this every year."

Weird people all like to be officials!

Since it is an official practice, Jiao Shunzi will not deliberately break it - besides, he is eager to have more gray income like this.

Therefore, he ordered: "Then you can find two old articles and I will imitate them and write one."

Zhao Yan was overjoyed and couldn't wait to bow and responded: "I'll go to the archive room to check it out later!"

It seems that even if this guy's family is not waiting for rice to be cooked, I'm afraid they won't be very wealthy.

If this is the case, he can be called incorruptible - after all, the handyman office is not one of those Qingshui yamen, and it is easy to make some money.

Jiao Shun asked again: "What about other than that? Isn't there any serious official business?"

"Speak to your lord."

This time, the Prime Minister Liu Changyou stood up and bowed: "Most of the mundane affairs accumulated previously have been dealt with, and some of the newly issued orders have established rules to follow. According to the rules, only formalities are required.

Just put it on record - if your Excellency wants to take a look at it, I will order the boss this afternoon to submit it as soon as possible."

Even though the management method of the handyman office is to focus on the large and let go of the small, it is an extensive management, but Jiao Shun wants to do everything personally, but he is afraid that he has to hire three or five masters to help him first.

Unfortunately, he hasn't even found half of it yet.

So we can only further filter: "What are the more important orders?"

"If you are new, you will probably be on the Ordnance Department's list."

Order from the Ordnance Department?

Jiao Shun suddenly became energetic. As a man, how could he not be interested in the passion of iron and fire?

"Our institute actually has an order from the Ordnance Department?"

"Of course there are, there are quite a few more."

Liu Changyou counted his treasures with his fingers: "The gun stock, gun strap, lead and cork, the glue used to bond the gun body - and the tassels on the officers' badges are all provided by our institute.

"

Well……

This has nothing to do with Jiao Shun's fantasy of iron and fire.

So he suddenly stopped showing up, waved his hand and said: "I have just asked the department to report some matters, and I don't have time to ask about them for the time being. You just follow the established rules - but remember, now the Ordnance Department has initially set up a

, keep an eye on them up and down, don’t hit someone’s gun at this time!”

"Don't worry, sir. I will supervise you even though you are in a humble position, and I will never dare to make any omissions."

Liu Changyou responded respectfully, but it was hard to tell what he was thinking on his old face that looked like terraced fields.

"Besides those orders?"

Jiao Shun asked for the third time, and this time Liu Changyou turned his attention to Zhao Yan.

Zhao Yan suddenly remembered something and hurriedly said: "Sir, because you had to observe the government for ten days, the reception banquet was also postponed. Now that the observation of the government has been completed, the rules should be followed

You still have to make up for it.”

It turns out that Liu Changyou came to see Wu Tianci yesterday to discuss this matter.

Jiao Shun suddenly realized. Although he was looking forward to the chef's skills, he pretended to say: "Since I have already missed it, how can I spend more money on you?"

"No expense, no expense!"

Zhao Yanlian said: "It's our own craftsmanship that allows Wu Limu to show off... Huh? Where is Wu Limu?"

Halfway through, he realized that Wu Tianci was not present.

Liu Changyou hurriedly said: "Wu Limu is not in the office for the time being because he has been sent by his superiors."

He was sent by his superiors to hold a birthday banquet for Shangguan Zhangshao.

Jiao Shun didn't bother to expose it. After all, he also wanted to try Wu Tianci's craftsmanship. If he put eye drops on him first, how could he trust him to clean up the table tomorrow?

Zhao Yan also skipped this section out of interest and asked again: "I wonder if you like meat or vegetarian dishes?"

Jiao Shun has always been fond of meat, so he thought about it and said: "Of course it's meat..."

Halfway through the conversation, I noticed that Zhao Yan had a strange expression on his face, and then he suddenly realized that he was asking about meat and vegetables.

In this regard, he is also a carnal master.

But I am afraid that someone will take the lead - although most of my colleagues have changed their faces, those few are still sharpening their knives.

"It's better to be more modest."

Jiao Shun regretfully chose the vegetarian meal, and then said: "I will ask for some good wine from the Duke's Mansion, and we will not come home until we are drunk!"

Zhao Yan hurriedly apologized and said with a smile: "Lao Wu's craftsmanship is paired with the fine wine from the Duke's mansion. We will be blessed tomorrow!"

After reporting these two "private matters" one after another, when I asked again, there was nothing to say.

This made Jiao Shun feel incredible.

After all, it is a central department that controls tens of thousands of craftsmen. No matter how extensive the management is, it shouldn't be so idle, right?

"Your Excellency, you don't know something."

Zhao Yan explained: "Since Yu Heng's official division was split in August, we have lost the chief officer in our office. Therefore, we have written orders to suspend the production of watches and request funds for other matters. Nowadays, I have written about cold protection, and I am afraid that all localities will not be able to submit reports."

It's coming like snowflakes."

Tsk~

Sure enough, it is a bureaucracy. It can suspend some functions for two months casually. Surprisingly, it has not caused any big trouble. Why does this sound a bit like the US government under Sichuan Bao?

But if it is like what Zhao Yan said, hiring a master is imminent. At least he needs someone to help him with the paperwork and checking the accounts.

…………

Jiao Shun originally thought that by the afternoon at the latest, Zhao Yi would call him over to ask for details, or give him a staged reply.

Who would have thought to wait until the official office was dismissed, and he didn't see any movement within the department - it can only be said that he once again overestimated the efficiency of these bureaucrats.

The whole journey was silent.

When I got home, I heard Xiangling report Si Qi's reply, and also mentioned that Baoyu was coming to ask for advice.

This is a bit strange. Although he was not very serious when he was studying in the Red Mansion, he also knew that Jia Baoyu hated remarks about official career and economics. He never thought that he would take the initiative to ask for advice on these things now.
