In the spring of the eleventh year of Zhenguan.

The heavy snow for dozens of days made the people of Chang'an complain, even though it was cleaned every day, Suzaku Street was still covered with a thin layer of ice, and some people fell and cried out in pain.

Datang has been established for more than ten years, and such heavy snow is really rare in the world.

Fortunately, in the past ten years, the Tang monarchs have never slackened, and it coincided with the heroes and talents, which made this snow disaster hurt the country.

However, even though he was well prepared and allocated food for local officials to provide disaster relief on their own, Li Shimin's heart was still worried.

"Auxiliary, it is said that Ruixue is a good year, but with such a heavy snowfall, how should my people deal with themselves!"

"Your Majesty, the household department has already allocated a batch of cotton clothes from the treasury this morning for disaster relief, and with the efforts of officials and people everywhere, the snow disaster will not shake my Datang at all!"

Although he was comforted by the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Shimin's brows were still tightened.

Seeing this, the eldest grandson Wuji stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, if you are really worried, it is better to make a secret visit to investigate!" ”

……

On Suzaku Street, a man wearing a fox fur walked forward, exuding a heroic posture between his eyebrows.

followed by a middle-aged man, the two of them were talking about something while moving forward.

Then, the fox man pointed to the east, and the two turned around.

Suzaku Avenue is located south of the Imperial City, and a single street divides the area into two counties.

Fifty-four squares east of the street belong to Wannian County.

The fifty-four squares west of the street are the jurisdiction of Chang'an County.

At this time, it is the county of ten thousand years!

Although it is snowy, life still has to go on.

In the Fang Market of Wannian County, it is much more deserted than the Spring Festival in previous years, but there are also people who come and go to buy some goods from time to time.

The middle-aged man walked all the way east with the fox man, visited several shops and houses, and learned about some post-disaster reconstruction work.

The time (five o'clock in the afternoon to seven o'clock in the afternoon) was approaching, and the two unknowingly came to the Wannian County Yamen, but they saw that the soaphorn official drove some people out of the yamen, and they were about to go to the gate.

Seeing this, the fox fur man immediately raised his eyebrows, stepped forward angrily, and pressed the gate of the county office.

Seeing this, the little official pushed hard, but his thin arms and legs were the opponents of the fox man.

I had no choice but to stretch out my hand and point to the sign on the door: "I said this lord!" Look, it's time! It's time for us to pay off, and it's time for the yamen to let go! ”

"If you have something, do you want to come back again?"

Following the gaze of the little official, it was a yellow piece of paper with eight big characters written on it: "9 to 5, no overtime!" ”

But the man in the fox fur only glanced at it, but instead of letting go, he stretched out his other hand and angrily peeled off the paper.

"In Chang'an City, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, how can there be a reason to release the government when you are united!"

Seeing this, the middle-aged man on the side glanced at the little official, and said, "Maybe there are other important things to deal with in the county, so I let the government go early." ”

Saying this, he stepped forward to the fox fur man and whispered, "If there is a conflict with it, it will not be good to attract Wuhou Wei." ”

The fox fur man frowned: "What is more important than disaster relief right now?" It is a big thing, at this moment, the county order should also give porridge and clothes here to help the people survive this disaster! ”

Hearing this, the little official was not happy, and opened his mouth and said, "You guys are salty and eat radishes!" Since my lord took office in Wannian County, it has always been a unitary time, and none of them have been postponed, so hurry up and get out of the way, don't hinder my master! ”

It's okay that this little official didn't say anything, this sentence suddenly set the fox fur man on fire, and even if he wanted to enter to find the county order, he confronted him face to face!

Seeing that the people couldn't stop him, the little official hurriedly shouted inside: "Old Wangtou, it's time!" I'll pay it first. I'll leave them to you! ”

With that, the little officer pushed the door and went out.

Seeing this situation, the fox man and the middle-aged man couldn't help but be stunned.

"Excuse me, borrow it!"

"Ah, oh, good!" The mouth should be harmonious, and the middle-aged man subconsciously turned to one side and let go of a way.

The little official Shi Shiran crossed the two of them and walked out of the county office without looking back, leaving the two stunned people and a half-hidden door.

The little official's figure gradually drifted away, and he muttered in his mouth: "If you want to kidnap the master morally, it's still 10,000 years early!" ”

After a while, the fox man came back to his senses and realized that the little official who was supposed to be guarding the yamen had left, and suddenly a nameless fire ignited from his chest:

"How can this be true? The upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked, what kind of county order will bring out such a responsible officer! ”

The middle-aged man pursed his lips, and said secretly in his heart: You are the top beam.

But this sentence can never be declared, so he said: "According to the words of the little official, there should be an old king inside, we might as well ask him." ”

So the two of them stepped into the yamen, there was a door in front of them, and an old official was shrinking on the kang to keep warm, presumably the "old king's head" in the mouth of the previous person.

Seeing the two of them coming in, the old king looked at it, then got off the kang and closed the door, and said: "If you two have any doubts, you might as well say that with my old man, when the doubts are resolved, please go back quickly." The yamen has already been decommissioned. ”

The fox fur man was still angry, and the middle-aged man stood up and asked: "Uncle, the two of us just came from other places, and every county government on the way is morning and evening, but why did you go down so early in this Wannian County?" ”

The old king was still worried that he had offended the nobles by his clumsy mouth.

After all, in the south of Chang'an City, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, people with status grabbed a lot of them, and these two people were dressed extraordinarily, and their bearing was far from being very human, maybe they were people they couldn't afford to provoke.

When he heard that the two of them were from other places, he immediately put his mind at ease, put on a shelf and said: "My lord hates overtime the most, and our Wannian County has always pursued a 9-to-5 schedule!" ”

"9 to 5?" The fox fur man stretched out green tendons on his head, and glared at the old official angrily:

"The food of the king, the matter of loyalty! is so slack, how can you Wannian County be worthy of the court's Yulu and the people's offerings! ”

Hearing this, the old official spread his hands:

"The things within Yulu have been completed by our Wannian County Ya as early as when they are on duty! After unitary time, it belongs to overtime. My lord said it! The emperor doesn't give overtime pay, what kind of work? ”

Listening to the crooked reasoning of this old official, the fox man suddenly laughed angrily.

In the entire Datang, I have never heard of overtime outside of 9 to 5! If every county order in the world is like this, then he can't govern this country?

Immediately, Wei Zheng's reprimanding with a straight face appeared in his mind, and he wanted to draw a wave of scoops according to the gourd.

But who knows, before he could speak, the old official said in pieces: "Gagaga, add a hammer class!" The body is his own, and he will die in office, and when the time comes, his wife will be slept with, his son will be gone, and there will be no one to go to the grave, what is the picture? ”

As soon as these words came out, the middle-aged man suddenly felt bad, it was the first time he had heard such a big rebellious remark!

What's more, just seven years ago, Prime Minister Du Ruhui did his best for the Tang Dynasty and died of illness in office.

Without Du Xiang's hard work, Datang would not have been so prosperous!

As for Du Ruhui's death, the emperor has always been haunted, and he happened to be broken by this old official's mouth.

Sure enough, when he looked up, the fox-furred man's eyes were already red.

The middle-aged man only had time to remind: "The crime of the county order will not be the cause of the officials!" ”

When the fox man heard this, he was also a little stunned, and after passing the old official, he walked to the backyard of the yamen!
