After the emperor learned about Liu Bei's deeds from Duan Jue, he summoned Liu Yu, the great sect, on the same day and asked some questions about Liu Bei's life history and genealogy.

Although the emperor's temper was more hot for three minutes, he didn't say more, and he didn't explicitly say that Liu Bei was available.

But just this level of questioning is enough to make Liu Yu realize that Liu Bei, the new rising star among the "Han clan relatives", may be lucky.

After all, letting the emperor hear about your deeds is a glory that many people dream of for a petty official at the county level.

After returning from the palace, Liu Yu thought about it again and again, and personally read the last volume of "Filial Piety Record" again, and then wrote a letter to his old subordinate, Han Zhuo, the Taishou of Zhuojun.

Han Zhuo is an old bureaucrat who has been in Youzhou for more than ten years. When Liu Yu served as the assassin of Youzhou, Han Zhuo was only the county commander of a county under Zhuo County.

In the first year of Zhongping, after the Yellow Turban Thieves rose, the original officials of Zhuo County lost a wave of losses due to the war, and Han Zhuo had accumulated enough qualifications, which was promoted in the war and became the Taishou of Zhuo County, and now he has been in that position for three years.

Although Liu Yu has been away from Youzhou for more than ten years, with the prestige accumulated in the local area in his early years, as long as Liu Yu is willing to write letters to the Taishou of Youzhou counties and make requests, the Taishou basically dare not comply.

At least get the level of Youzhou Thorn Shi Taoqian, so that he dares not to give Liu Yu face.

Liu Yu didn't talk nonsense in the letter, so he said to Han Zhuozhi: Liu Bei, who abandoned the official and returned to Zhuo County to lead the righteous and brave thieves, his deeds and filial piety have been spread all over Beijing, and they are directly to the heavens, even the emperor inquired, and he also went to Zongzheng Mansion to ask Liu Bei's family genealogy.

At this point, it was enough, as long as Han Zhuo was not stupid, he knew what to do.

Anyway, this year's filial piety quota in Zhuo County is useless, and although the population of Zhuo County is not very large, because it belongs to the county of Youzhou, it can enjoy the preferential treatment of "halving the number of per capita household registrations required to raise filial piety".

This is equivalent to doubling the acceptance rate of the college entrance examination, and the competition will not be too fierce.

Liu Yu's letter was sent on the ninth day of the first month of March, and it was delivered normally without going through a particularly fast expedited courier, and arrived in Zhuo County about eight days later.

Han Zhuo immediately dealt with the letter, spent a few days searching, understanding the materials, and supplementing the advanced deeds of the people who had been inspected in the local area, and completed the inspection and examination recital form on about March 20 and handed it to the imperial court.

After coming and going, more than half a month, at the end of March, this inspection performance finally arrived in the capital.

……

March 29, tomorrow is the rest day at the end of the month.

Li Su has also been in Zongzheng Mansion for more than half a month, serving as a transitional sesame petty official of the "Princess Family". He has gradually adapted to his nominal job.

After doing it during this time, he also roughly understood why his work was only a mere 300 stones, ranking at the bottom of the many subordinates of the Zongzheng Mansion-

Because this work is relatively leisurely, and there are no major responsibilities. In addition to not skipping work every day, as long as you are in the yamen, no one cares if you are lazy.

This may not be intuitive, but a little example will be clear - the main responsibility of each "Cheng" in the Zongzheng Mansion is to verify the blood identity of the clan/relatives, and to investigate and compile the genealogy of the place of origin, similar to the household registration police of the police station.

The reason why the "Zong Zhengcheng" who manages the clan surnamed Liu is cumbersome is that it is necessary to check whether the wives and concubines of the prince surnamed Liu and the heirs of the Hou Ye have obvious blood flaws.

For example, if a prince and his wife have not seen each other for more than a year, but his wife has given birth to a child, then Zong Zhengcheng must record this information in the record, and cannot let the wild seeds be written in the clan book.

In particular, some marquis themselves could not give birth to children, and they were afraid that no one would inherit the title, so they acquiesced to their wife Lu himself, and once it was verified, he could ask the emperor to cut the title of the offender. If Zong Zhengcheng clearly found out but covered it up, he would be investigated for dereliction of duty.

However, Li Su served as the "princess family", and this large and cumbersome verification work was not needed, he just had to register without brains.

Because only the father-son relationship may be fake, but the mother-child relationship cannot be fake.

Although the decree of the Han Dynasty did not explicitly state that "horses have no human rights", in practice, as long as the children born from the wombs of princesses, county lords and other clan women, they were all registered in the books of relatives. It doesn't matter if the pony is green or not.

It is precisely because such a large piece of gossip workload is missing, so the grade of "Princess Jiacheng" is only half of that of "Zongzhengcheng......

However, this kind of position is used by Li Su to cross a bridge, but it is just the right person to make the best use of it. He didn't expect the court to live, and his salary was less than half, but he could be idle, wouldn't it be beautiful?

The extra time is just to remotely control the Zhen family's book selling business, or help colleagues for free.

Not to mention, in the past 20 days, he asked Zhong Xuan to help copy a "Erya", and then prepared to copy the "Analects". At the same time, he placed more orders for vellum paper and ink in the Zhen family's workshop, found craftsmen to carve, and expanded his book printing and selling business.

Originally, the Zhen family was also greedy for the profits of this business, and had the idea of plagiarism.

It's a pity that they can't decipher the formula of the parchment paper for the time being, and they privately take other Zuobo paper and work with Li Sudiao's woodblock to print, and find that it will seep out and paste into a ball, and the handwriting is blurred.

Second, it is also because of seeing Li Su's heavenly energy, the first book printed can actually make Tai Changqing a sales platform for it. The Zhen family was intimidated by Li Su's backstage hardness, and after the failure of the small-scale test technology, they gave up decisively, and obediently chose to cooperate sincerely and let Li Su make a big profit, but they only made a small head.

When Li Su expanded the types of printed books, the reason why he first chose "Erya" and "Analects" to engrave was because these two books had relatively few characters, both of which were less than 15,000 characters. About three or four long scrolls can be written in each book. And he didn't have time to find someone to copy and engrave other tomes, so he could only come step by step.

Each of these books could not be sold for the same price, and as a scholar of the Han Dynasty, he must have been able to afford it.

Because after all, this is much cheaper than copying books, and people nowadays have to protect a book from generation to generation. If you can watch the hand-me-down works of several generations, it seems very cost-effective to always pay for one.

As for those colleagues in Zongzheng's mansion, everyone knows that Li Su may follow Liu Yu to Youzhou at any time, and there is no competition for promotion with others.

In addition, Li Su's family is rich and generous, so he quickly won excellent popularity among his colleagues.

Money and popularity are both harvested, and this small day is temporarily called a nourishing one.

……

It's the time to get off work.

Several colleagues in Zongzheng's Mansion had already come to Li Su in advance to hang around, and if they were talking to him, they wanted to see if there were any activities to eat, drink and have fun on the rest of the day.

Li Su is very dedicated to helping his colleagues, checking the daily life and activity trajectories reported by a group of Hou Ye surnamed Liu a few years ago, and then comparing the birth dates of their children to help eliminate a few fish that slipped through the net.

After all, he was a person who taught at the Public Security University in his previous life, and although he taught a course for negotiators, he also had a slight understanding of the management system of the household registration police.

Therefore, after he handled it, he felt that the current method of checking the household registration of the clan in the Han Dynasty was simply too backward.

I can't even do a good form, it's completely a leak, and if I miss it, I will let it go.

Li Su took out a little bit of mathematical and statistical means of household registration management in later generations, and the efficiency instantly increased several times.

Zong Zhengling and Zong Zhengcheng liked Li Su very much, and while enjoying Li Su's help, they took care of him not to reveal this working method. lest the superiors find that the work efficiency has improved, and put forward higher standards and strict requirements for them to evaluate the indicators, or press more workload......

I hope that after Li Su left, they used Li Su's improved new work method to compress the work that was originally completed in four days into two days, and they didn't let the big leaders know. That way they can always be lazy for two more days per bath cycle.

"Brother Li Xian, you are a talented mathematician, it is really useless to stay in our Zongzheng Mansion. You should be allowed to go to the big state and county, and be the master of the money and grain account and the long history. If you sharpen it for another ten or twenty years, it is not impossible to enter the dynasty as a plan. ”

Zong Zheng ordered Liu Chang to watch Li Su's pen fly, and couldn't help but stroke his back in appreciation.

A group of people were watching Li Su work, and suddenly there was a cough from behind, and everyone immediately dispersed nervously, turned around and saluted, like middle school students caught by the head teacher.

It turned out that it was Liu Yu, the great sectarian, who came to the study room where Li Su was on an errand.

"Meet Uncle Zong." Everyone bowed in unison.

(Note: "Zongbo" is a colloquial nickname for Da Zongzheng, similar to the subordinate calling the assassin "envoy jun".) From Zhou Li, the minister in charge of the clan was called "Chunguan Zongbo". In the same way, the other eight positions in Jiuqing also have nicknames corresponding to Zhou Li. ）

Liu Yu originally just received Han Zhuo's reply, and learned that Han Zhuo's inspection table had been sent to Luoyang, so he wanted to come over to Li Su to give a few words, but he didn't expect to see this scene.

It was also a coincidence, because under normal circumstances, if he had something to ask Li Su, he must have called Li Su over to meet him. But because tomorrow is a day off and he is about to get off work today, he has wandered around here in person.

It's like when the big boss is about to get off work, he will occasionally hang out in the office of his subordinates, explain in person, and check the work by the way.

Liu Yu picked up a few books that Li Su was compiling, glanced at the watch made by Li Su again, and sighed without anger: "That's how you do things?" Leave the clan books to the colleagues of the lord's relatives? ”

Zong Zhengling and Zong Zhengcheng hurriedly admitted their mistakes and explained: "I just heard that Li Jiacheng has a wonderful way to make books, so ...... I want to ask him for advice, so let him demonstrate on his behalf, and I will learn from the side. ”

That's it, at this moment, you can only abandon the small and protect the big, and "expose the new efficient working method", which is better than letting the leader feel that there is a problem with your work attitude.

"I see, it's understandable, let's step back first." Liu Yu didn't come to investigate it in the first place, so he let it go with a casual remark.

Zong Zheng made Liu Chang's mouth bitter, and while retreating, he had to do a full set of plays and continue to praise Li Su: "My subordinates obey orders, and Li Jiacheng's bookkeeping skills really opened my eyes, so much so." ”

After all the other subordinate officials retreated, Liu Yu sat down in front of the case, and Li Su stood beside him.

Liu Yu looked at him carefully and asked, "What is the relationship between you and Liu Bei and Liu Xuande?" Can you take care of his affairs? ”
