The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

Chapter 1158 Government Affairs Register

"Governor Sheng, this is the administrative book of our Governor's Office. Please have a look." When Pang Zhitong, the head of the Secretariat, heard that Sheng Yuan had returned, he immediately arranged for his subordinates to deliver the administrative book that had been prepared long ago.

This is what he had wanted to do for a long time, but unfortunately, the chief officer of their Governor's Office did not play by the rules.

When a chief official takes office, the first thing he does is to take charge of government affairs. Apart from other things, the most urgent task is to get power into his hands.

But their chief officer only showed up on the first day in office, and then disappeared for several days in a row, like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins.

It's a pity that these subordinates who never intended to trip up others were standing in front of the Governor's Mansion with their heads held high, looking forward to it like a husband waiting for his husband.

Fortunately, God had mercy on them and let them wait for this guy who looked like he was having fun.

  For fear that the guy might slip away again if they weren't careful, several of their colleagues could only divide the work tacitly. As long as the surveillance person gave the message, he, who was responsible for transporting the government books, would immediately stop the person!

Seeing that his chief's eyes had visibly become even rounder, Pang Zhitong wanted to shout to the sky: My fellow officers, I have fulfilled my mission!

……

Sheng Yuan, who had finished his field work and was about to start working in earnest at the Governor's Office, looked at the several-foot-high books on the desk, then at the person in front of him with excited eyes and twitching mouth, and felt completely puzzled.

No, the people in the Governor's Office... seemed quite normal before! Why do they look so strange now?

"Boss Pang, have you moved all the books from the warehouse here?" Although it was puzzling, Sheng Yuan still made a joke in order to maintain his image as "Shangguan Lue is friendly."

"Ah, good news to you, Governor. The head of the archives office is still sorting out the books and will be here to report to you soon."

"..." Sheng Yuan was stunned when he heard it, then looked at Pang Zhitong. Seeing the excitement in his eyes, he couldn't help but question it.

Could it be that he was trying to intimidate her by dealing with so many government affairs? ! "General, the four deputy generals have come forward and are already waiting in the conference room." Xiaoyao walked in from outside. Just after he finished reporting, he saw the piles of books in front of his young lady and was surprised. He thought, so many books... Could they date back to the establishment of the Five Military Command? !

"Ah, I'll go meet you right away." Sheng Yuan's eyes lit up, and he quickly agreed. He turned to Pang Zhitong and said, "Master Pang is an old man in the Governor's Office. Several generations of first deputy governors have trusted you, which shows that you are a stable and reliable person. Naturally, I trust you as well."

After that, he pointed to the administrative records piled on the table and said, "As the saying goes, one thing does not require two masters. Master Pang should just make an index and an overview so that I can have a reference later."

"Ah... This sir, obey your order!" Pang Zhitong felt as if he had shot himself in the foot.

……

"Miss, aren't you afraid that if you delegate too much power, he and other officials will think you are easy to bully, which will foster their ambitions and they will try to manipulate you and deceive their superiors and subordinates in an attempt to undermine you?" Xiaoyao whispered as she followed Sheng Yuan on the way to the conference room.

Although Xiaoyao knew that her young lady was not one to be bullied, she still felt that since her young lady had just arrived, she should make the first move as a new official.

"Letting them sort out the government affairs register is delegating power, right?" Sheng Yuan tapped Xiaoyao's forehead and said with a soft laugh, "If I am so easy to sideline, even if I record all the government affairs registers of the Office of the Secretary and all the files of the Archives Office, I will still be counted against."

"Having said that, maybe we should not give others the opportunity to look down on us, or we should not give them the space to fantasize."

Sheng Yuan smiled and said, "You said it already. We are new here. How can we know who can be used and who can't be used right away? We might as well take this opportunity to get a clear picture of the people."

"Huh?! So that's how it is!" Xiaoyao clapped her hands, patted her head in annoyance, and muttered, "Miss is really wise! Why didn't I think of this? I thought you were trying to be lazy again! I didn't expect that every move you made had a deep meaning! I was short-sighted!"

"Well... he who knows himself is wise. It's good to correct his mistakes when he realizes them!" Sheng Yuan appeared generous and tolerant on the surface, but secretly increased his pace.

She wasn't feeling guilty! She was just anxious to meet her colleagues!
