As soon as the summer begins, the day grows noticeably.

Even if there are a few walls, the people inside can still hear the shouting and slogans coming from afar, the sound of sharp weapons hitting the stones, and the rumbling sound of something rolling from top to bottom.

Cao Dajing's mind was full of messy things, and he was already sleeping unsteadily, and when he was half-asleep and half-awake, he suddenly heard a sharp whistle outside, and he was awakened suddenly.

He sat up half-seated with a pillow in one hand, and turned his head to see that the sky was already bright outside, and the door was hidden, but the window was wide open, and he looked into the corner through the light that came in through the window, and the omission pointed to the hour of the hour.

It's not too late.

Cao Dajing suddenly put a heart back in his stomach, but he didn't dare to delay, he got up as soon as he was bone, and was about to call the person next to the bed, but when he looked up, the beds opposite were already empty, not to mention people, there was not even a shadow left.

What about people?

Is it convenient to go?

No, it's not a woman, you have to be together to find a thatched house at the flower viewing banquet, no matter what, you won't have to get five people together, right?

Although he thought so, it could be seen that no one came back after a while, and he couldn't help but shout: "Old Hu! ”

The room was quiet, no one made a sound.

"Xiao Yang? Old Lu? ”

He called a few more names, but when he saw that there was still no response, his heart was suddenly shocked.

What's going on?

I always got up by myself and went to wake them up one by one.

If you follow the routine in the courtyard, in fact, you only need to get up at the beginning of the day, have breakfast, and go to the house at two o'clock to light the house. However, there are so many things that it is difficult to complete within the stipulated time if you follow such a schedule.

Cao Dajing is the leader of a group, looking at the progress of the other two groups living here are pushed very fast, only their own group, because of the most complex matters in charge, always half a point behind, naturally a little unwilling, two days ago convened the members of the group, and held a small meeting with everyone, I hope that everyone will be an hour early every day, that is, from two o'clock in the morning, until the meal, immediately go to work.

He persuaded and excited, and also took what Gu Yanzhang said to him that day to whet everyone's appetite, and told everyone about the possibility of promotion, but for some reason, the people below were not keen not to say it, and half of them had a cold face.

Someone even stabbed him loudly in a weird way, saying: "Cao Guanren, although you are the leader, our officials are on an equal footing, and they have come here to be transferred and dispatched, and they have no choice, but after all, the official is an official, not an official, and he has not lost his temper after many days of being an official for you, we have given you a lot of face, but don't get an inch!" ”

Sure enough, he only followed the routine of the courtyard, and no one paid attention to his requests.

It is the few who are in the same room with Cao Dajing, I think they have lived together for a long time, because of face, it is not easy to refuse, and they are called by him every day, so they have to go on an errand an hour earlier, but no matter how to cooperate, after all, they are still reluctant in their hearts, so they always need Cao Dajing to get up in the morning and urge them three times and four times, and they have never been like this time, and they woke up and went empty.

When Cao Dajing was in the room to check the number, he was gritting his teeth and asking himself, what did he do wrong, why did he only want to manage a few officials, it was so difficult, he never expected to see such a scene early this morning.

If he hadn't known that he couldn't come and go at will, he would have even suspected that everyone had made an appointment to "escape from prison" together.

Although Cao Dajing is not responsible for specific matters and the calculation of numbers, the results made by everyone in the group must be reviewed and sealed by him before they can be handed over.

He didn't return to the room until three o'clock yesterday, Mo said that he had taken a bath, and he almost couldn't even wash his face, so he fell asleep, so he didn't have time to talk to his roommate, so he naturally didn't know what was going on, so he had to hurriedly rinse his mouth and wipe his face, casually pulled his clothes on, and pushed the door out.

The sun hadn't come out yet, and the sky was foggy, but there were already many people coming in and out of the yard.

Cao Dajing walked out along the eaves, and after a while, he went out of the courtyard gate, and the windows he saw along the way were open, and the people inside were either washing or had already gone out.

He couldn't help but secretly wonder in his heart.

At this time of the day, the courtyard was still very quiet, most of the people were asleep, and only a few people who took the wrong medicine went to work early, but what happened today?

The first house here is newly built, and because it was built in a hurry, it looks really shabby, and it looks not much different from the yellow brick house in the village.

More than 300 officials from various ministries and departments live here, and except for a few high-ranking two, the rest are five or six people in one room. Fortunately, the water supervisor has not yet detained the rope to the end, and did not buy them a bunk, but one person got a bed.

Cao Dajing has been an official for more than 20 years, but whether it is before or after becoming an official, he has never been so miserable as this time.

Although he tried his best to suppress it, he also forced himself to help explain and appease the emotions of the people under him, but if he said that there were no complaints, it was naturally impossible.

Even if there are many things, the accommodation situation is outrageously poor, and although the food cannot be said to be simple, it is impossible to boast at all.

A group of people who had already become officials were locked up here, and even if they were officials outside, they could live in the post station all the way, and no matter how bad the conditions were, they would never be like this time.

Everyone couldn't move, they couldn't get out, everyone complained, and the voices of scolding Gu Yanzhang and Fan Yaochen almost overturned the roof.

But after a night's work, who would have thought that there would be such a big difference.

What the hell is going on?

He had lived in this place for several days, even if he might not be able to name the people in the courtyard, but he looked very familiar, and when he met someone, he greeted him again and again, but he didn't ask much, and without pausing for half a minute, he walked straight to his group's house.

Although it is not yet a little time, the door of the room is wide open, as soon as he enters the door, Cao Dajing will hear the sound of the abacus wooden beads hitting one after another, more than 30 seats close to each other, there are already more than 20 people sitting on the top, all of them are either bowing their heads to count, or raising their hands to plan the plate.

Cao Dajing glanced around the room, and soon saw several people in the same room as him, and everyone didn't notice that he had entered the door, and they were all buried in their work.

He walked to his seat and sat down, when he heard a sound of footsteps outside, and several officials in his group came in in twos and threes, carrying baskets, copper kettles, or leading baskets.
