I didn't do anything in the morning, just listening to these guys arguing all morning, but the good thing is: everyone forgot why they were arguing.

At noon, I had a full meal - and it was a special meal.

In the afternoon, I went to the Department of Broadcasting and Storage of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs is the majority of more than 2,000 people, and the Guangchu Department is a large department of more than 200 people, so I didn't do anything—I couldn't wash the dishes.

My men all stood and listened to me.

I said, "You listen to me, not because I am a high rank, nor because I am a man, but because I am capable." You're going to say, I'm talking nonsense. However, I am not talking nonsense, because this is not only true, but also reasonable. The hierarchical order is spontaneous rather than coercive. Any group of people together, without outside interference, will inevitably develop into a hierarchical order, and this order must be a stable order. A group without order is necessarily a group of chaos, and they cannot last long. They either develop a hierarchical order or perish. Do you understand the meaning of the phrase 'existence is reasonable'? ”

Everybody said, "We know, we know." ”

I said, "You don't understand, because this is what I've been thinking about for 20 years, really thinking about life." Do you understand? ”

Some of them said, "We understand. Some people say, "We don't understand." In the end, I didn't know whether they should say "we understand" or "we don't".

I'm just a small assistant to the director, and there are a few other people at the same level as me, who are more senior than me, but everyone listens to me.

If my peers and I were to order how to clean up the inventory in the warehouse at the same time, the little eunuchs below would definitely listen to me and not to others. Why? Because I command correctly, I can make them save effort and time, and I keep the storeroom in order so that it can be put away and collected, while the other people are blind in command. Therefore, after trying a few times, the little eunuchs listened to me and did not listen to others, because if they listened to others, they would be tired and annoyed, and they might be scolded by the big eunuchs afterwards.

I commanded my subordinates to work, and found that the internal affairs office could not be more chaotic!

The process is messy, the items are messy, the personnel is messy, it's just useless!

The group of little eunuchs put a bunch of things on the east side, and the group of little eunuchs moved them to the west, and the other group of little eunuchs continued to move them to the north, and the last group of eunuchs continued to move to the south, and then the first group of little eunuchs continued to move to the east......

The head of a eunuch said, "The canteen wants to grill steak, go and see if there is fresh steak in the cold storage." ”

His subordinate said, "Okay, let's go and see." ”

So he led a group of people to the warehouse to rummage through to see if there were any steaks.

After a while, someone said, "Here's a box of steaks!" Ah, it's an empty box. ”

Someone said, "There's two boxes of steaks — ah, no, pork chops — no, I sniffed it, it looked like lamb chops." ”

Somebody said, "Hey, there's a warehouse of steaks here — it's all black." But the middle one doesn't seem to be dark. ”

……

The leader said, "Let's see which one is the freshest and throw it in the cafeteria!" ”

The Royal Storehouse—on floors 111 through 120—was enormous, and ancient—terrifyingly old.

Cold storage is located on floors 116 to 120 and occupies half of the royal warehouse.

When you go up from the 110th floor, it feels like you're going to hell, dark, cold, freezing.

It was already hot in May, and as I walked to the cold storage, I thought to myself, "Wow, the cold storage must be cool!" The broken air conditioner in my house has been up and down, so this time it must be cooler. ”

When I walked into the 116th floor, a group of eunuchs were wearing cotton jackets and holding axes to cut through ice.

One of the eunuchs said, "Damn! The cold storage door is blocked again! Hurry up and chisel! ”

I saw dozens of people holding axes and chiseling, and ice slag was splashed everywhere. In front of them was a wall of ice, and behind it was a large, half-open iron door.

What an exaggeration!

I can't help but wonder: how much electricity does this cost! How much grain does the Royal Power Plant need to generate electricity from grain? Five floors of hundreds of thousands of square meters of cold storage, how much power does this need...... Compressor?!

I asked Xiao Lizi: "You have been in the Guangchu Division for a few years, do you know...... Who is in charge of cold storage? ”

Him: "Oh, the cold storage...... Should be...... It's our Guangchu Division. ”

Me: "I mean, who...... Which department is responsible...... Repairing cold storage? ”

Him: "Repairs? What repairs? Never repaired. ”

Me: "You don't defrost either?" ”

Him: "What do you mean?" ”

Me: "Nothing ......"

……

After these people dug through the cold storage, I got into it – like I was in a cave, and it was a brightly lit cave! It's also twists and turns, like an adventure.

At first, it was meat from a few days ago, then it was meat from a few months ago, then it was meat from previous years, then it was meat from more than ten years ago, and at the end it was written in the corner "Meat for the enthronement ceremony of Emperor Zhaotian"......

Well, this meat is older than me, and when I see it, I have to call out respectfully: Senior!

……

I asked Xiao Lizi, "Why don't you throw this meat away?" ”

He said: "We are in charge of the treasury and the statistics department, and as soon as they count us less, then we will die!" ”

Me: "Do you want all this zombie meat?" Waste more electricity – but also waste time, space, manpower. ”

Him: "Then no one cares." ”

I went to my immediate boss, the director of the Department of Broadcasting and Storage.

I said to him, "The warehouse is the most important and important thing, and I can't stress it enough." The warehouse is everything, and nothing can be done without the warehouse. Repositories are the foundation, and we lay the foundation for them. To know the inventory is to know everything about the palace. We know everything! The warehouse is inconspicuous, because everything is silently dedicated to us! The emperor is in charge of people, we are in charge of things, and we are more down-to-earth than them! Greater! However, we can also build a stronger foundation. No matter how strong it is, it can't be overstated. As long as the foundation is firmly laid, the house can be built higher, better and faster! ”

The director looked at me like a ghost.

He said, "Thank you, brother, your sycophant is comfortable, but it's useless." ”

Me: "I really think so. ”

Him: "We are the ones who manage the warehouse, and others will only call us 'the storehouse'!" You're a student at Imperial University, you're just here to exercise, you don't belong here. If you can't be kept here, you will definitely be better than us in the future. ”

Me: "I'm sincere!" I really think the warehouse is important. You know no, it's all about ...... Uh, the economy...... And the warehouse is the economy...... The foundation of ...... We are in charge of the warehouse, and we must be responsible for the warehouse and manage the warehouse in an orderly manner! Power is responsibility, responsibility is power! ”

Him: "Do you really think that our Ministry of Internal Affairs is responsible for the Imperial Palace?" We don't have any power, we have a responsibility. We're just minions! Job! Emperor, harem, crown prince, inner court, outer court, military department, official department, household department, law department, Ministry of industry...... Which one do we dare to mess with? For example, if you want to tidy up a warehouse, do you know whose stuff is frozen in which warehouse and which room? Do you dare to move? For example, if someone from the ministry wants to eat seafood, do you dare to give it? Let's say, the military department lost a weapon, do you dare to report it? Do you really think we say it counts? ”

Me: "This ......"

Him: "You don't do things, and don't let others do them." Everybody doesn't do it, why do you do it. I'm not talking about you, I'm helping you. You think, if your orders are not good, you have no authority, and people will not believe you. If your command is good, people will be jealous of you and will not believe you. If your orders are good all the time but bad one day, people will not believe you even more. ”

Me: "I suddenly understood. ”

Him: "Guess why there are more than 2,000 people in the Internal Affairs Office who can't do anything?" ”

Me: "I get it. ”

He sighed: "Every new person who comes to the palace wants to change the palace, change the court, and change the world, and I always say the same thing to them. But actually, I don't want to. ”

Me: "You too...... Origin? ”

He looked at me.

I sighed.

Suddenly, it occurred to me: hierarchical order is!

They obey my orders, not because I am capable, but because I am of a higher rank than them, and I may be of a higher rank in the future.

I'm a self-righteous bastard.

That's all.
