Although on the first day of taking office, he encountered a group of troubles, or a department, Ye Mu was just annoyed.

In fact, when he was in the court, when he heard them say that they wanted to seal their official seal in the household department, Ye Mu was still very happy.

Because compared to others, Ye Mu attaches more importance to the household.

According to the historian, Mr. Qian Mu's ranking of the six parts of the Tang Dynasty.

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, that is, when Tang Gaozu Li Yuan was in power, the most important thing was the Ministry of Officials, followed by the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Crime, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Households.

In the time of Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, the most important departments were sorted first, and the household department was one place forward, and the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Households ranked third, because of the initial chaos and the time when the countries were numerous.

But in the eyes of Ye Mu, a traverser, this ranking is not correct, because the household department that involves all aspects of people's livelihood should be the most important.

After all, the other five ministries all need people to do it, and before these people became officials, all aspects of their foreheads were in charge of the household department.

Only by attaching more importance to the household department can we make the country more clear and better managed.

Among the household departments, it is the household department that Ye Mu attaches the most importance to, because the responsibilities of the household department are household registration, soil fields, enslavement, contribution, exemption, preferential resumption, marriage, and heirs. Although the current three provinces and six ministries are not the first system, they have not been established for many years.

More or less, there are some confusing functions, overlapping, unclear, and somewhat general.

And Ye Mu's original idea was to start the reform from the household department, especially the household department, because the piles and piles of the household department are very important and the most in need of reform.

And this is the most appropriate place to start. It only takes a few months to go from a member of the household department to a household waiter, but from the household department to the head of the household, I am afraid it will not be completed in a few months.

And Ye Mu didn't want to be promoted, because his main purpose was to do things!

It just so happened that the official position given to him by the emperor was the household department, and the official position prepared after that was also the household department, and when the time came, he could not only manage the household department, but also the other three divisions.

There are still a few months left to be promoted to the head of the household, and in these few months, there will be a reform first.

And Ye Mu is also sure that this reform will be carried out successfully.

After understanding the layout and general personnel of the Household Division, Zhou Yuanwailang took Ye Mu back to their office.

The officials of Liupin should have an exclusive office space. But they are specially assisting Zheng Langzhong, the head of the household department, and they are secretaries, so they can only be in one room, and they are next to Zheng Langzhong's room, which is convenient for Zheng Langzhong.

As for whether Zheng Langzhong will dare to summon Ye Mu, it is still unknown.

Although the office is in one room, this room is relatively large, with a size of 30 square meters.

The room is rectangular, the door to enter and exit is in the center of the wall, Ye Muyu is at one end of the Zhou Yuanwailang, and there is an open window next to each person.

Ye Mu sat in his place and looked left and right, the house was also a few years old, but it could be seen that it was very strong. When you look up, you can see the traces of smoke on the left and right sides of the roof, which should be slowly smoked by placing a brazier for heating.

On the first day of taking office, there was basically nothing to do, just a general familiarity with the environment, familiar with the people, and nothing else to do.

What information do you want, who to find, just call the waiting official. These little officials are well-read and memorized, you can't remember the names of some information, who is in charge of a certain information, if the chief officer can't remember it, Nazhijie can tell these little officials.

In fact, the outsiders at night are very similar to these officials to some extent.

However, Ye Mu turned around, and he had already memorized everything, and this little official only had the role of being a microphone.

Although it was the first day of coming, Ye Mu still thought that he should first familiarize himself with the various materials that he was going to start reforming.

So, Ye Mu shouted outward: "Sun Peng? ”

"Huh! My lord! A young voice outside the door immediately answered, and a random one came in, not handsome, but quite attractive. A pair of bright-eyed, very attentive young people.

"My lord? What do you command? "Sun Peng is also a little official with some talent and vision, otherwise it would not be his turn to serve one of the three giants of the household department.

"Sun Peng, give me those household registration files." Ye Mu commanded.

Sun Peng glanced at Ye Mu with some surprise, in the past, no matter which official took office, he had to unite the officials in various positions on the first day, but the first thing about the newcomer Ye Yuanwailang was to look at the household registration file.

It is rare to be so diligent and diligent! However, Sun Peng had interesting pity in his heart, he knew that these big and small officials in the Household Department were basically very prejudiced against Ye Yuanwailang.

Now that Ye Yuanwailang is not showing goodwill, I am afraid it will be difficult to carry out his own work.

However, although he thought so in his heart, Sun Peng's movements were very neat, and he responded, and walked out quickly without saying a word.

Those words in his heart, he won't say, and it's completely unnecessary, after all, this Shangguan is a newcomer, and he can't do it himself, and there is no need to dig out his heart and lungs with many mouths and tongues.

Although I haven't been a small official for many years, I have been working for three or four years. To do things here, especially to be a small official, then listen more and watch less, talk less and ask less, and just do what you say.

This is the last time he was a small official for twenty or thirty years, that is, his master taught him, he felt that it was very reasonable and useful, and he has been adhering to this rule in the past few years.

Sun Peng went out, and Ye Mu sat on the chair and slowly grinded it.

After a short period of effort, Sun Peng's face was ugly, but he ran back empty-handed with indifferent eyes.

"Huh?" Ye Mu looked at Sun Peng questioningly.

Sun Peng looked helpless and said: "My lord, Director Sun of the household registration file room said that the household registration file should be cleaned up regularly in the near future, and he will not borrow books for the time being. ”

Ye Mu's eyes fluctuated, and his face was expressionless.

He knew that the first trouble from these petty officials in the Ministry of Household Affairs had already come.

"Really?" Ye Mu seemed a little abrupt, "If you don't clean up early or late, you were fine when you went before, and you will have to clean up in a while." ”

"It seems that some people are disobeying the yin and the yang and making things difficult for me..."

"Uh..." Sun Peng froze, of course he knew this kind of thing, and he didn't have to think about it. The question is, is it really good to say it so directly, is this going to tear the skin?

In officialdom, the most taboo thing is to tear your face. Even if you can't wait to eat its flesh raw, but you don't completely move to the other party's grasp, the basic enemy is smiling when they meet, hello, hello, hello.

Sun Peng didn't think that a newcomer would be able to clean up the head of this household for more than ten years, step by step, and become the head of the house.
