Day 2.

"It's over, it's going to be late." Sima Jiu just got up, looked at the sundial in the courtyard, and suddenly felt bad.

Perhaps it was the reason for drinking too much with Yang Zhao, the king of Jin, when he woke up, it was already three quarters of the hour.

Last night, Yang Su had instructed him to report to the Ministry of Industry at four o'clock this morning, and at that time, the Ministry of Industry Shangshu and the Ministry of Industry would wait for him.

Sima Jiu hurriedly got dressed, rinsed his mouth with green salt, wiped his face with cold water casually, and hurriedly ran out of the bedroom.

Maybe he was too flustered, and even bumped into an uncle from the Western Regions who was in a hurry to practice drums, which made Gongsun Lingyin, who happened to pass by, laugh.

After Sima Jiu ran out of Yunyun Mansion, he inadvertently smelled the faint fragrance of his clothes, which smelled extremely comfortable, and he realized that his clothes seemed to have been washed by someone, and they had dried and were still scented.

Then, he sniffed his hands again, and suddenly showed an embarrassed look. "There is also a fragrance on the hands, and it seems to be familiar, it seems to be the same as the fragrance emanating from Gongsun Lingyin's body."

"Could it be...... Did I lose my body after drinking? ”

At this time, Sima Jiu recalled the decoration of the bedroom. "Perhaps, it was just sleeping with Gongsun Lingyin...... Gongsun Lingyin's boudoir is just that. ”

The offices of the six departments of the three provinces are all in the imperial city.

Yunyun Mansion is not very far from the imperial city, if it is an ordinary foot, it can be reached in two quarters of an hour.

Sima Jiu was in a hurry, so he used the crane control skill, the soles of his feet were windy, and he ran towards the imperial city completely regardless of his personal image.

After half an hour, he ran to the main gate of the imperial city.

The Sui Dynasty palace access control and guarding matters were the responsibility of the left and right prison offices.

In normal times, the gates of the imperial city were guarded by the chief of the prison gate and the prison guards.

"Stop, idlers are not allowed to enter the imperial city." A prison gate chief saw that Sima Jiu was wearing ordinary clothes, not official uniforms, and his appearance was untidy, so he intervened to stop him.

"This is a handwritten recommendation from Lord Zuo Servant, please take a look at it." Sima Jiu didn't say much, after all, it was useless to say more, he directly took out Yang Su's handwritten recommendation and handed it to the leader of the guards.

"Let's go inside!" After checking the silk book handed over by Sima Jiu, the head of the prison gate returned it to Sima Jiu, signaling that he could enter the imperial city.

"General, may I ask how the Ministry of Works is going?" Sima Jiu didn't know the specific location of the Ministry of Engineering.

"Shangshu Province is next to the Hanguang Gate of the Imperial City, and the Ministry of Industry is in the Shangshu Province, after you enter the door from here, turn left and walk to the Hanguang Gate, and you can see Shangshu Province." The prison door is straight and simple to show the way.

"Thank you, General." Sima Jiu did not stop, and walked forward according to the instructions of the chief of the prison gate.

In the imperial city, the official office is built to be particularly magnificent, solemn and solemn, on both sides of the road, there are many sentry posts, and officials walk around in the imperial city.

Sima Jiu was in a hurry, and he didn't care about etiquette, so he ran in the imperial city.

Many patrolling guards saw that Sima Jiu was young and jumped like the wind, not at all like an imperial bureaucrat who was swaying three times, and even stopped him a few times and checked his silk books before letting him go.

One of the guards was reading his silk book, but still not at ease, and led the guards to follow him.

Finally, Sima Jiu ran wildly for half an hour before rushing to the door of Shangshu Province.

He stood in front of the gate of the core institution of the empire, and after a little tidying up, he walked to the door and handed the silk book to the guard.

"Sima Jiu, are you Sima Jiu?" The guards looked puzzled.

Sima Jiu said: "It's Sima Jiu down there!" ”

The guards were startled at first, and then changed the silk book to Sima Jiu, and said respectfully: "Adults have been waiting for you for a long time, please come with me!" ”

"It's hard work!"

The team was leading Sima Jiu into Shangshu Province, and after they entered the door, they walked through several courtyards one after another before they came to the gate of the Ministry of Industry.

At this time, in front of the gate, a fat old man in a red official robe was leading a row of officials waiting in front of the door.

Sima Jiu recalled that Yang Su mentioned that Shangguan Hong, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, was fat, and saw that this person was wearing a red official robe, so he knew that this fat old man was Shangguan Hong, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry.

Seeing that the other party attached so much importance to it, Sima Jiu didn't dare to hold it up, so he hurriedly stepped forward, bowed down, and asked for sin: "Sima Jiu is late, and I hope Lord Shangshu will forgive him." ”

Shangguan Hong said angrily: "No courtesy, no courtesy." This morning, the King of Jin has sent news that the King of Jin and you handled urgent business last night, and you will be late today. ”

"King Jin's heart is as careful as a hair, and the villain is grateful."

"Eh, Sima Jiu, the King of Jin remembers you so much, in the future, you will have to say a lot of good things for our Ministry of Industry in front of the King of Jin."

Sima Jiu saw that this grandfather's third-grade official and close minister of the Son of Heaven was so polite to him, and immediately showed a flattered look, and said: "The subordinates will definitely live up to the expectations of the adults." ”

"Good, good! Come, the old man will introduce you to colleagues. ”

Shangguan Hong took Sima Jiu's hand, walked up to a man with a beard and calloused hands, and said, "This is the squire of the Ministry of Works, and he is the pillar of the Ministry of Works." ”

"My subordinates have seen adults."

"Hmm!" The public loses the unequaled slightly.

Subsequently, Shangguan Hong introduced Sima Jiu to other officials of the Ministry of Industry.

The Ministry of Industry directly belongs to Shangshu Province, and there are five divisions of the Ministry of Industry, of which the Ministry of Industry, Tuntian, Yu and the Ministry of Water are in charge of the construction of the world's projects, and the other division is the Ministry of Public Transmission Wushuang, which has only dozens of people.

After a brief introduction to his colleagues, Shangguan Hong took Sima Jiu to a courtyard full of pines and cypresses.

The Ministry of Industry is the department where Sima Jiu works.

At this time, dozens of officials from the Ministry of Industry were in the courtyard.

Shangguan Hongdao: "They are all from the Ministry of Industry, and in the future, you will work together, and if you don't understand anything, they will explain it to you." Now, His Majesty is preparing to build Luoyang New City, and later, the old man will send someone to send the construction materials of Daxing City for your reference. ”

Sima Jiu thanked: "Thank you, sir!" ”

Afterwards, Sima Jiu exchanged pleasantries with Shangguan Hong for a while before sending away the overly enthusiastic boss.

Not long after, just as Sima Jiu was chatting with the officials of the Ministry of Industry, several officials brought Sima Jiu's official uniforms, seals, and construction materials of Daxing City.

Changing clothes and working, Sima Jiu is ready to do a big job.

However, when he opened the construction materials of Daxing City and was about to start the construction of Luoyang according to the gourd drawing scoop, he found that something was wrong.

The construction materials are fragmented and have only some outline content.

Sima Jiu thought that the little official had missed something, so he sent someone to look for it several times, but he didn't find any other information.

Subsequently, he learned from the mouth of the hall official that Daxing City was built by Governor Yuwenkai, and the detailed drawings and materials of Daxing City were stored in Yuwenkai's mansion.

"The head of the agency, Yu Wenkai!" Sima Jiu had the idea of going to Yu Wenkai's mansion to ask for information, but soon, he extinguished that thought again.

After a short time, he finished reading the information, and when he was idle, he wanted to be familiar with the familiar environment, so he wandered around in Shangshu Province.

Before he knew it, he had wandered to the walls of the imperial city, and there was no way.

He shook his head with a wry smile, and saw that someone was sweeping the floor in front of him, so he stepped forward to ask for directions.

The man kept his head down and swept the floor very fluently.

Sima Jiu greeted him several times in a row, but there was no response, he thought that the other party was deaf, and when he was about to step forward, a mocking voice suddenly came.

"If you talk to it for a day, it won't pay attention to you. It is the sweeping puppet of our department. ”

Sima Jiuxunyin looked over, and the public lost Wushuang was grinning.

"I've seen Lord Gonglo." After Sima Jiu saluted, he curiously leaned over to the puppet and took a look.

Only then did he confirm that the other party was indeed a puppet, and I saw that his face was a flat and neat wooden board, on which the eyes, nose and mouth were drawn with rough brushstrokes.

The puppet moves very regularly, automatically putting the garbage on the ground into a wooden bucket.

"I heard about the mystery of the spirit of organ learning, and I can see it today, and it really lives up to its reputation. Come to think of it, this machine must be the masterpiece of adults! Sima Jiu scratched his head, he still had to go to Yu Wenkai after all, and first understand some tricks, yes.
