Northern Dynasties

Chapter 266 Shameless

As the night darkened, the inside and outside of the Taifu Zhitang were still brightly lit and the voices of people were chaotic.

Many members of the Taiwan government were busy carrying some documents and books to the Zhitang with various utensils. There were also many guards standing around the Zhitang to prevent various emergencies such as fire or theft of documents.

The reason why Taifu is so busy at night is because of a reform of the office regulations proposed by Shuichi Gongyu Wenhu: all the personnel in Taifu who need to stay in the office at night will be concentrated in the Zhitang in the mansion after nightfall to save night lights. Consumables, and make personnel exchanges more convenient, thereby increasing the efficiency of working at night.

However, the affairs under the jurisdiction of the Cao Cao are not the same, and the documents or confidentiality, and the way of working are also different, so it still needs a period of running-in and observation before we can see the specific results.

As the initiator of this reform, Yu Wenhu stood in front of the straight hall and personally commanded and dispatched. Although he was already sweating, he was still full of energy. He carefully asked and made arrangements for all the personnel and affairs that passed by.

In the verandah on the other side of the straight hall, Yu Wentai's eyes were filled with impatience when he heard the noise from outside the door.

He was out to inspect the river defense before, and then went to Chang'an to attend the funeral of Taifu Wangmeng. When he came back today, there were many backlog cases waiting to be dealt with urgently, but because Yu Wenhu also chose to transfer personnel affairs to Zhitang today, he had no choice but to temporarily commit himself to the concubine , but was completely disturbed by the noise outside the door.

"What nonsense, even if the masses work together, how much lamp oil and candles can be saved can subsidize the country!"

The content recorded in the document on the desk did not make Yu Wentai happy. Hearing that the sound outside the door still did not stop, he immediately slapped the desk and shouted angrily: "There are so many troubles inside and outside the house that need to be dealt with urgently. The man in charge of personnel affairs in the mansion But you are still obsessed with these trivial rules, and it is difficult to see great benefits if you disturb people and consume energy!"

There are still a few people from the official office waiting in the hall, and when they heard the reprimand from Daxingtai, they all fell silent, not daring to speak out, but they were afraid in their hearts that they would slander that this matter was done by your nephew, and it was your own family Business, what can you say.

"Mr. Shuichi made this regulation, not because of the material savings that can be seen at all. It is just to spread the style of Taiwan's diligence and frugality to the people involved, so as to overcome the difficulties together."

Su Chuo, who was sitting in the banquet, was quite calm in front of Daxingtai, and he opened his mouth to explain a few words for Yu Wenhu.

Although he also felt that this regulation was a bit harsh and redundant, Yu Wenhu was quite enthusiastic about it and made several suggestions.Su Chuo could also sense his enthusiasm for creating something in the Taiwan government's government affairs, but the basic elements of handling government affairs are thoroughness and meticulousness. Yu Wenhu still lacks experience and ideas in this area. Things come but inevitably miss the point.

What Yuwentai really felt irritated by was not the matter at hand. After hearing what Su Chuo said, he snorted coldly and didn't continue to scold him, so as not to damage Yuwenhu's personal image too much in front of his subordinates, so he held back his anger and buried his head in the in the document.

But soon, he couldn't help shouting at the case again, and shouted angrily: "Qizhou already had tens of thousands of registered households the year before last, and three years of farming can yield one year's storage, so how come there are so few materials to support reading this year! "

Seeing that Daxingtai was so angry, everyone in the hall also avoided the table one after another, they naturally knew the reason, but it was hard to say.

Zheng Daoyong, the former governor of Qizhou, managed a small state with thousands of registered households into a large state in just a few years. Governor of the state.

Being brave on the battlefield does not mean that you are good at governing the local area. It is only natural that Qizhou's political performance this year is so-so.

This time even Su Chuo remained silent. Although he was the most important staff member of the Taiwan government and was cited as a confidant by Daxingtai, there were still many differences of opinion among them.For example, in the management of internal and external political affairs, Su Chuo has always disliked Daxingtai's various operations of first military and then political affairs.

Although he also understands that this is the need to fight against the Eastern Dynasty and maintain the survival of the regime, as a native of Guanzhong, he still hopes that the pressure on people's livelihood can be eased a little.

Seeing that everyone refused to answer his words, Yu Wentai was also a little speechless. After a moment of silence, he said in a deep voice: "Tomorrow the government will send envoys to the state to inspect the government. job!"

After saying this, he couldn't help but secretly sighed in his heart, feeling quite helpless.

He is not mean and ungrateful, and he does not want to bestow high officials and generous salaries to these generals who have followed him for a long time and have been through fire and water. Prominent official positions are often incompetent.

This time the Overlord's Mansion rectified the six armies, it accumulated a lot of resentment among the townspeople.There are many people discussing in private that Daxingtai should follow the example of Emperor Xiaowen who moved from Pingcheng to Luoyang, abandoning their minions of the town soldiers, and wanting to collude with the local tyrants in Guanlong.

It's not wrong to say that, Guanlong Haoqiang's potential and growth in all aspects are higher than those of Beizhen's army leaders, so of course they have to be wooed and integrated.

But this does not mean that the old brothers of the town soldiers should be given up, but at the moment Yu Wentai really can't think of any good way to express his concern for the town soldier group as always.

Thinking of this question, he felt dizzy.Especially as the date of this year's grand parade is approaching, if there is a trace of disharmonious tone among them that accumulates and grows, it may lead to drastic changes.

"You wait and step back first, just leave Su Shangshu here."

With so many thoughts in his mind, Yu Wentai became even more inattentive about doing things, and waved his hands away from the crowd. When he saw that Su Chuo was a bit haggard, he ordered some warm buttermilk to be placed on the table for Su Chuo himself, and his tone was full of kindness and concern. : "Thanks for your hard work, Shangshu."

Su Chuo first finished the judgment on the case documents, and then put down the brush in his hand. When he was about to stand up and thank Daxingtai, Yu Wentai raised his hand and held it down: "There are only two of us in the house. Muscle and bone fatigue."

The two sat opposite each other, sipping the buttermilk in the cup, and after a while, Yuwen Taicai said again: "There is no room for further delay in customizing "Zhou Guan". Although there are many masters in Chang'an, these Kanto personnel It may not be able to deeply understand the needs of the situation in Kansai. This matter is related to the foundation of the country, and if you do not inspect it carefully, you can’t rest assured. After reading it, Su Shangshu will go to Beijing to supervise this matter, and be my eyes and ears, and share this heart."

"My lord, please rest assured, I will definitely concentrate on this matter and live up to the entrustment!"

After Su Chuo heard the words, he quickly said that this matter has indeed been planned for a long time, and the sooner it is done, the better it will be for internal integration and avoid many formal disputes and internal friction.

Yu Wentai pointed to the documents piled up on the table again, and sighed sadly: "It's just that after Su Shangshu entered the court, I'm afraid there will be fewer people to share the work of the government! Shangshu, you observe people and things, whether there is any progress?" Is your choice convincing?"

"My lord, that's too serious. Chuo is not an irreplaceable talent in the world. Fortunately, the lord has given me the favor to be favored by the mansion. Even if I leave for some reason, how can the affairs of the manor be ruined because of one person leaving?"

At this time, Yu Wenhu's shouting and urging came from outside the door again, and Su Chuo said with a smile: "Mr. Shuichi can cultivate both internally and externally, and both civil and military are allowed. Although people don't know it all, it can already be used as the upper arm of the master."

"Sabao is indeed a good talent, and I'm not boasting, but after years of experience, he is by no means inferior to his father and brother."

After hearing the words, Yu Wentai smiled and said that he was quite optimistic about Yu Wenhu, his nephew, but soon sighed: "For the moment alone, he still has some stubborn and clumsy attitudes that are hard to get rid of, and he can't be called a first-rate one. Physical strength, it is even more difficult to compare with you, Su Shangshu."

Su Chuo saw that Yu Wentai had a tendency to criticize the trendy people, so he named some officials who were famous for their talents in Taiwan, prefectures and counties. All kinds of opinions can be called loyalty, and they can also be called diligent in doing things. They are worthy of the reputation of good ministers and heroes.

But it is only the grain and hemp in July. Although there is food and clothing, it is not a matter of saving the crisis.Su Shangshu's simplification is a rule, and innovation is a creation. Therefore, the talents of the rules and innovations are beyond the ordinary and not vulgar.That's why I said that these people are hard to be the successor of Shangshu. "

Hearing this, Su Chuo first lowered his head and smiled modestly, and then said: "It's not like no one in Kansai has achieved the ability of planning and creation that the Lord praised..."

"Li Boshan is not good either. He is young and energetic, and he is too full of energy. If he is left alone, he will not let him down with his talents. But if he is left in the center, he will inevitably lose his temper due to his high intelligence and too much thinking. Too many, let the group know what to do."

Before Su Chuo could finish speaking, Yu Wentai shook his head and said, "If he didn't have a few years of teaching and tempering to let him know the way of humility, he would not be able to continue Su Shangshu's office."

Su Chuo was a little speechless when he heard this, not to mention whether I was talking about Li Boshan or not, you just came here and said it logically, maybe this issue has been considered for a long time, and it will be changed after a few years when Li Boshan grows up I?
Yu Wentai didn't notice Su Chuo's slightly weird expression, and when he mentioned Li Tailai, he became more interested, and said with a smile: "This kid is cunning and conceited. He must be very proud of handling a difficult situation in Beijing. He is full of pride and arrogance, so he will give him a difficult task to kill the impatience in his heart."

He smiled and talked about letting Li Tai and Kaicao join the army. Su Chuo was also amused after listening to it. They all gave up asking.No matter how wise and strategic Li Tai is, he would still have a headache for a few days facing that mess.

"I remember Kaicao had a book to play today, and I took it to see if there is an old voice of complaining."

The affairs of the Taifu are divided into idleness, and the predicament that Kaicao is currently facing has no solution, so it is naturally classified as a matter of nostalgia. Even if there is any memorial, it will not be inspected and handled by Daxingtai, but will be answered by the subordinates at their discretion. .

Yu Wentai remembered this when he talked about it, and while he took the waiter and hurriedly searched for the memorial, he said to Su Chuo with a smile: "If he sees this predicament, he will be helpless, see you in the mansion tomorrow, and laugh together!"

While speaking, he unfolded the memorandum and read it. The slightly playful smile on his face gradually narrowed. He casually threw the document to Su Chuo who was beside him with a curious face. Then he stood up and walked out of the house, raising his hand to call Yu Wenhu then reprimanded in a deep voice: "The court officials and nobles have given you generous gifts, and your father has deep hopes. You have disturbed the masses so much, and you only have a little bit of lamp oil and candles in return. Don't you feel ashamed?"
