Chapter 347: I'm an errand runner
Sitting in front of a pile of bamboo slips, Hong Min was not irritable.
Whether it is as an official of the ministry or as a chief official.
It is very common to go through all kinds of documents and materials on a regular basis, because many things can only be recorded in this way.
After opening it, I saw the content above.
Sure enough, Hong Min knew that his guess was not wrong.
Each of these is an official's archive.
Hong Min was very patient, and it wasn't until lunch that Li Bing, the secretary of the department, returned in a hurry.
Li Bing glanced at Hong Min who was sitting there and reading the information carefully, but there was no unhappiness in his heart.
Besides, what if it's not happy?
This is a big guy who is already standing in the sky.
After Li Bing's introduction, he took Hong Min to lunch together.
The people have two meals a day, but as a department directly under the imperial court, two meals a day is obviously not possible.
It's not that just because I'm an official agency I have to do something different.
Instead, these officials often come to work at dawn and don't leave work until sunset, and overtime is even more commonplace.
Two meals a day is absolutely unbearable for these people.
I have to say that the food in the ministry is still very good.
A bowl of porridge, half a bowl is rice, with a slight salty taste, and two pieces of meat are added.
Of course, the meat is bacon, and it is boiled directly with the porridge, so that the porridge will have a little oil and water in it, and it can be relatively more anti-hunger.
It's just a little unsatisfying, the rice is easy to eat, but the meat, only the first bowl has it, and the back is only porridge without meat.
"Your Majesty has asked the Ministry of Officials to start the reform of the appointment and dismissal of officials in various places, and you have experience in this area, so Your Majesty has decided to transfer you to the Ministry of Officials to participate in this matter. On weekdays, you don't have to worry about other things in the ministry, just make arrangements for officials appointed and dismissed in different places, and make a guide as much as possible. ”
"In addition, Your Majesty has decided to start in Sanchuan County first, and requires that the transfer of officials in Sanchuan County be completed by the end of summer, and the work of Guanzhong, Hanoi, Hedong, Yingchuan, and Nanyang counties will be completed by the end of the year, and the transfer of all counties in the country will be completed within a year next year, so the burden on your shoulders will not be light." Li Bing put down the bowl and began to speak.
"Lang Zhong, Xia Guan only has some experience in Pingyin County, and I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate to suddenly take charge of such a big place in the Ministry of Officials, right?" Hong Min said with some concern.
You just put him in charge of a county, and he thinks he can give it a try.
But when he came up, he was given so much power, not to mention anything else, Hong Min still felt that his head was buzzing and he was very uncomfortable.
It seems like a fake.
"Haha......" Li Bing suddenly laughed, and suddenly felt that this Hong Min seemed to be quite cute.
But he really dared to think that for such a big matter, the emperor was not a fool, how could he let an official from the sixth rank stick his head out?
immediately explained: "You and I are an errand worker, besides, this kind of thing is not something you and I can decide, there are many cows, ghosts, snakes and gods outside, how can Your Majesty let you and me go out to attract hatred at will?" His Majesty personally came forward in this matter, Zhang Shangshu was the deputy, and you and I were only responsible for giving the plan. ”
"Oh, I see!" Hong Min breathed a sigh of relief, in this way, although the pressure was greater, it could also be explained.
That's the right way to open it.
Although it seems that he is just an errand boy now, this is the most important thing he should do at this stage, and it is also the job that is most in line with his status.
"There is a meeting to attend tomorrow afternoon, and Your Majesty will also attend the meeting, anyway, Your Majesty, Shang Shu, Lang Zhong of the Fourth Department, plus you, a total of seven people, said to be a temporary yamen to be in charge of this matter full-time, you had better think about this matter today, don't have no preparations tomorrow." Li Bing then reminded.
Don't look at the seven people in a new department, for Hong Min, six are his superiors, and he is the only real soldier, and he is the only one who does the work.
However, the officialdom is sinister, Hong Min is the person personally ordered by the emperor, even if he is of low rank, Li Bing does not dare to regard him as a small person, the object of random bullying.
Don't dare to hide anything from him, so that he is unprepared to make a fool of himself at tomorrow's meeting.
In that case, it will not be Hong Min who will be unlucky in the end, but himself.
"Thank you Lang Zhong for reminding me!" Hong Min hurriedly expressed his gratitude.
"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing, the next two years are basically not able to get any time to rest, I'm afraid it's difficult to even rest, I heard that your family is still in Pingyin, you probably don't have time to pick them up, the ministry here, temporarily prepared a place for you to live, you'd better repair a book, when the time comes, see when someone passes by and let it pass, let that there be arrangements to send your family over." Li Bing said.
"Okay......" Hong Min nodded.
Although Luoyang is not far from Pingyin, if you walk, it will only take half a day to walk.
But looking at it now, I'm afraid I really can't spare time.
Fortunately, there are more people who come and go between Pingyin and Luoyang, and there are many people who come from the south to the north, and they pass by.
There are several teams almost every day.
So, after returning to the Ministry of Officials, Hong Min directly repaired a book, and asked the officials of the Ministry to help inquire when someone was passing by Pingyin, and handed the letter to him.
For an entire afternoon, Hong Min looked at the materials.
Until sunset is close to the end of work, there is still a lot to read.
Looking at his colleagues who were all working overtime, Hong Min was embarrassed to leave early.
Then the officials sent him a new token.
With this token, he is qualified to enter and leave the palace.
The main reason is that the office of the eighth department is now in the palace, although it is considered an outer palace, and there is a palace wall with the real palace, but he doesn't know the people outside.
After working overtime for about an hour, the officials began to gradually leave work.
Hong Min also got off work with him.
When he was in Pingyin County, he was tired of walking, and he was tired of sitting here.
The courtyard arranged by the ministry has not yet been handed over to him, so Hong Min still has to go back to the official inn to live today.
In fact, before his wife and children came to Luoyang, he planned to live here.
Even if the yard is assigned, I am too lazy to clean up when I go home, and I am even lazier to cook.
"Hong Min, where have you been today?" Seeing Hong Min come back, everyone in the inn suddenly burst out with enthusiasm, and hurriedly pulled Hong Min to sit down and rest, with a smile on his face and constant greetings.
"Huh? Got a token? A sharp-eyed person noticed that the token hanging on Hong Min's waist was different.
The front is wooden, and although it is still wooden, the material and shape are different.
The most important thing is that the rope with the token strung together has been replaced with a red rope.
This is the most shocking thing for everyone, red is the national color of the Han Kingdom, the Han flag, the emperor's clothes, the symbol of the Marquis, these are mainly red.
In addition, there is the imperial history, etc., these people can also use red, but the conditions are more harsh, and the requirements are relatively high, not that you are qualified, you can wear a red robe to go out and wander.
And this symbol is the rope that holds the token.
"Congratulations to Brother Hong for entering the Ministry of Officials......" and saw the words "Ministry of Officials" on Hong Min's token.
Before he came, Hong Min was the main official, so naturally it was impossible to enter the ministry just to order or something, no matter what, it had to be the main thing or something.
And none of them can afford to mess with.
Even if it's an ordinary official, they don't dare to provoke it, in case of a critical moment to make up for you, you should have gone to a good place, and finally sent you directly to the wilderness, cry yourself.
"Xiaguan Xiongmeng, I hope Brother Hong will take care of me!" The county boss who stepped forward to ask yesterday was still talking cordially.
I regret that I can't do it in my heart, I should have thought of this a long time ago.
Hong Min was brought by the forbidden army, and he was led by the forbidden army, how could it be a way?
Sure enough......
The other officials didn't know it, but Xiong Meng had seen the officials of the ministry, although it was just a principal, but he looked at it very seriously, and the other party's token was not strung with a red rope.
In other words, Hong Min may have something to do with the emperor, at least the kind that the emperor knows about him.
Proper big guy, if you can build a good relationship, it will still be of great help to your future.
"Brother Xiong is older than me, my brother doesn't dare to be a ......"
