Xuande

Chapter 653
Liu Bei was very happy about Lu Zhi's willingness to join the introversion, but he considered that Lu Zhi was over 50 years old after all, and his energy and body were far inferior to those of young people. He was worried that he would get sick, so he persuaded Lu Zhi many times. Go back and rest.

How can you, a middle-aged and elderly person, get involved in the affairs of young people?
But Lu Zhi was really on top.

He insisted on continuing to discuss government affairs with Liu Bei, make decisions, and share the pressure for Liu Bei. If Liu Bei is not off work, he will not be off work.

He said that this is his dream working environment for a long time, he is happy, energetic and not tired at all.

"Seeing you working so hard for the affairs of the Han Dynasty, how can I turn a blind eye even if I have no real power as a captain? Rather than let you be exhausted, it is better to let me be exhausted, I can't give you everything , I sit back and enjoy what I get?"

"Xuande, today's imperial court is the best imperial court I can imagine. How can I sit idly by when my long-cherished wish comes true?"

Lu Zhi cheered up and said—come on, give me more files, I can still read them!
Facing the energetic and excited Lu Zhi, Liu Bei had no choice but to agree to him and show him the dossier he wanted.

Huang Wan, who originally planned to watch to the end, could stay out of the way logically. Liu Bei didn't intend to torment him, but just tormented the young officials who were too often under his jurisdiction.

Huang Wan watched the people around him being captured by Liu Bei one by one as coolies, and seeing that he was the only one in Taichang Mansion who was still leisurely, the strange feeling in his heart became more and more obvious.

It's as if he's being sidelined.

Everyone around was talking about state affairs, discussing what to do, and then ran wildly while cursing.

Everyone else had things to do, and they were all running around insanely busy, but he was the only one who sat with a glass of water and a book all day long.

Lonely, lonely, anxious.

All kinds of emotions swept through his heart, exacerbating his internal friction.

I was sidelined.

I am isolated.

I was forgotten by all.

This feeling……

So uncomfortable!

In the end, Huang Wan didn't stand up, and was also swept by the frenzy of involution.

He took the initiative to join the errand team and asked Liu Bei to share some errands—give me something to do, no matter what it is, give me something to do, otherwise, I will go crazy.

Such a thing, a few months ago, Huang Wan would still think it was a fantasy. How could it be a beautiful thing to get such a generous salary without doing anything?
But when this matter really appeared in front of him, he realized that as long as Liu Bei is around, nothing is impossible, and he is just an ordinary person.

He couldn't sit still, he couldn't stand it, he couldn't calm down, he was going crazy.

So he was assigned by Liu Bei to connect with Henan Yin Caocao, mainly responsible for the feedback and statistics of the slave resettlement work in Henan Yin area, as well as the handling of emergencies.

When encountering some matters that need to be dealt with on the spot, he has to go on a business trip and leave Luoyang City to handle errands.

With inexplicable excitement, Huang Wan plunged into the frenzy of involution, and began a career of no return in [-].

During the month with the most arduous tasks, Huang Wan only went home once and rested for half a day.

That day he stayed up all night supervising the transportation of Henan Yin's warehouse. In the early hours of the morning, he couldn't hold on any longer. After finishing his work, he went home, took a shower and slept.

Woke up at noon, had a meal at home, visited my youngest son who hadn't woken up in the afternoon, and went back to the government office to work overtime in the afternoon.

Mrs. Huang brought a bowl of chicken soup to Huang Wan, and then complained about Liu Bei's inhumanity.

"Recently, I heard that many people did not go home for ten days and a half months in a row. The family members were worried to death. The general is really, where did so many things come from? You haven't gone home for a long time, come back to rest How many days?"

Huang Wan shook her head while drinking the soup.

"There are really many things. The general didn't do it deliberately. In the past few days, a batch of grain and fodder will be transferred from Henan to Bingzhou. Bingzhou is still short of food. The official in charge of Cao Mengde fell ill. It will take a while. I can't find anyone in charge, so I have to watch over there.

The people here are careless and unsteady, and if something happens and there is no food, no one can afford it. I slept for a long time, and Cao Mengde was watching over there personally. I have to rush over to explain to him as soon as possible. I can't delay too long on a trip to Yingchuan. "

"Where did so many things come from? It wasn't like this before."

Mrs. Huang wiped Huang Wan's mouth distressedly.

Huang Wan smacked her lips and smiled wryly for a while.

"Perhaps this is the reason why the power of the Han Dynasty is declining day by day? If you don't do it, you don't know. When you do it, you are startled. It turns out that the court has piled up so many things that have not been completed, and there are more things that have been done in a mess. It's a problem, and we have to catch it all and deal with it again, alas..."

With that said, Huang Wan stood up.

"After dealing with this matter, I have to go to Hongnong County. There are some things that need to be dealt with there. Don't wait for me to go home in the next few days. Take care of yourselves."

After speaking, Huang Wan trotted away from the house.

On the grain transportation road outside Luoyang City, Huang Wan and Cao Cao, who looked like a fairy, had finished handing over, and Cao Cao hurried to Yingchuan County by car. Yingchuan County had a large number of freed slaves, and a considerable part of them were captured by Liu Bei. Assigned to Henan Yin jurisdiction to settle down.

During the slavery restriction operation, the land under the jurisdiction of Yin in Henan was vigorously cracked down on local tyrants, and a large amount of high-quality cultivated land was released. Liu Bei instructed that all of it must be used, and no inch of land should be wasted.

One of the subordinates who were in charge of the handover was sick and the other was injured. Cao Cao couldn't worry about the others, so he could only go into battle and hand over the matter in person.

He was much busier than Huang Wan.

At dusk, Huang Wan finally finished the mission, and just after submitting the report, and returning to Taichang Mansion to catch her breath, an urgent order came from Liu Bei.

Liu Bei asked the Taichang Mansion to immediately send people to Henan County to deal with the local slave resettlement work. It is said that there are some minor problems in the local slave resettlement work.

At that time, no one in the Taichang Mansion had time to spare. Huang Wan saw that everyone around him had dark circles under his eyes, and the bamboo slips were piled up in front of him, so he knew that they had no energy left.

So he poured a glass of water, took the initiative to stand up and took care of this matter, and then left Luoyang City quickly before Luoyang's curfew, and galloped towards Henan County.

Except for that half day, Huang Wan spent the whole of a month running around Luoyang city, or on the way of business trip, her whole body became black and thin.

Tired, tired, but...

My heart is inexplicably happy.

During this month, he has done eighteen things, large and small. Whenever he was too tired to bear it, when a new task came, another force surged into his heart, making him persist in continuing to do things.

For this situation, he himself felt very strange.

Not only Huang Wan, but many officials themselves also have a strange feeling that they should hate such a tiring job, but the interesting thing is that after the things they have done get feedback, there will always be people from the General's Mansion Bring "the praise of the general himself".

Some verbal compliments, or some small rewards from the general himself, some pastries, some small desserts, a small drink, etc. It is said that they are all top-level snacks and sweet drinks that can only be enjoyed by the emperor.

It's really high end and tastes great.

So whenever they finished something and got feedback from the General's Mansion, they felt inexplicably satisfied.

After a long time, some old fried dough sticks and old bureaucrats didn't even know whether they had more resentment or deep love for Liu Bei.
