Di Luonan was so frightened by the overtime that he fled, and only Pan Long and Cangyuan were left in the carriage.

After a while, Pan Long remembered the work that Cang Yuan said just now, and asked curiously: "Brother Cang, what kind of work did you just say...... Is it true, or is it a joke?"

"How can official business be joking?" Cangyuan looked at him in confusion, as if he didn't understand why he thought that.

"Since it's official business, why don't you handle it in the official office of the Imperial Historical Tower?"

Cang Yuan smiled: "You don't know, those official affairs are related to changing the law, and they have nothing to do with the work of the Imperial Historical Tower. Although if I insist on handling these tasks in the Imperial Historical Observatory, no one should come out to find faults, but as the saying goes, 'if the name is not right, the words are not good', it is not the business of the Imperial Historical Observatory, so it is better not to do it in the Imperial Historical Observatory. ”

Pan Long nodded, but felt that what he said seemed to be a little untrue, and couldn't help asking, "It's that simple?"

Cang Yuan was stunned for a moment, looked at him with some surprise, and then said, "Of course it's not that simple. There are a lot of things to change the law, many of which involve the whole body, and I don't know when a seemingly ordinary document has a major event involving the rise and fall of thousands of families, and even life and death. If you put it in the Imperial History Tower, it will inevitably be handled by outsiders, and if someone gets in the way, wouldn't it be a bad thing!"

He sighed and said: "Although the matter of changing the law is of great benefit to the country and the people, it has destroyed the original interests of many people. There are some people in this world who don't care about anything but the harvest of their own one-third of an acre...... No matter what we do, as long as we touch his one-third of an acre, he will embarrass us, and even regard us as enemies of life and death!"

"When I walk the rivers and lakes, I often meet such people. Pan Long said, "The second prince should have a lot of experience in dealing with this kind of person, right?"

Cang Yuan immediately understood what he meant, and couldn't help but smile and shake his head: "That's not good! Brother Luonan's method...... It's not that it can't be used, but how can there be a change that has just begun, and everyone is still in the stage of testing and passing the tricks, so they use the last move?

Pan Long laughed: "I remembered a joke. ”

"I know what you're going to say, 'We promise not to use Di Luo Nan first', right?" Cang Yuan said happily, "As you said, Brother Luo Nan's deterrent power is an important guarantee for changing the law. If it really had to, we wouldn't mind letting the Seven Killers out. But now is not the time, the important weapon of the country, not to be tampered with. Brother Luo Nan is the important weapon of the country that can suppress luck, how can he let him go out for such a trivial matter. ”

"You say this as if he's some kind of monster......"

"Huh, isn't he a monster?"

The two of them looked at each other and laughed in unison.

After laughing, Cangyuan said: "In fact, there are other benefits to working from home. I found a group of white-clothed staff with their own talents. When working from home, if you encounter any obstacles, you can always discuss them with them. But if it is not in the Imperial Historical Tower, they have neither an official position nor a reputation. It's okay to take them to the Imperial Observatory once in a while, but if you take them there every day, I'm afraid someone will play a copy of me. ”

Pan Long nodded: "This is really a problem. ”

"So I can't help it, so I can only deal with things related to changing the law at home. Cangyuan smiled and sighed, and said, "But it's okay, working from home makes me more free in terms of time." Do what you want, and rest when you want. Sometimes I'm tired of doing it, so I go to sleep first...... Working in the Imperial Tower, it's not so easy and free. ”

Pan Long also smiled, but knew that what he said could only be regarded as a pleasure in suffering.

With Cangyuan's martial arts, how could he "get tired while doing it"? Unless he stayed up too much all night, he might be so tired that he needed to "go to sleep first."

He recalled that in the past few days when he lived in Cangfu, he did find more than once that when he was in the middle of the night, the light was still on in the study.

Come to think of it, it should be Cangyuan staying up late at work......

"Brother Cang, are you able to eat like this day and night?" he couldn't help but ask, "Although you are strong in martial arts and advanced in cultivation, it is no problem if you don't sleep for a few days." But if you don't get enough sleep for a long time, you can't bear it no matter how high your cultivation is, right?"

Cangyuan smiled and said, "It's not as exaggerated as you say, usually in four or five days at most, I will get a good night's sleep." A congenital peak like me, four or five days of sleep, plus the usual squinting of my eyes while sitting in the car from time to time, is enough to rest. ”

Pan Long looked at his disapproving smile, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and his opinion of Di Luonan was a little worse.

Di Luonan is said to be Cangyuan's best friend, and the two of them are so good that they are like brothers. But in order to help Di Luonan change the law, Cangyuan simply exhausted his own hard work. But what about Di Luonan? Did he really care about Cangyuan?

Pan Long felt that if he was Di Luonan, even if they were not friends with each other, he would definitely be sad to see someone fighting for their ideals, and even almost exhausted their hard work.

Not only is it sad, but it is also necessary to find ways to help him reduce his stress.

Whether it's recruiting more people, working overtime in person, in short, no matter what, no one else can work overtime day and night, I'm resting.

Is that what a human thing does?

But Di Luonan didn't seem to really care about Cangyuan, and when he heard that there was official business to deal with, he even ran faster than a rabbit. Not to mention finding someone to help Cang Yuan...... He didn't seem to have any idea of any of that.

(probably...... This is the so-called "way of being a king"? As the ruler, it is only natural for the courtiers to die for themselves...... ）

Thinking of this, Pan Long couldn't help but sigh lightly in his heart.

Then, he couldn't help but think of his past life.

In the society of the previous life, of course, there were many things to deal with. But it never said that "there are too many things, we need to make the staff work overtime".

If you are in a hurry, you will increase the number of people, and if you are not in a hurry, you will take your time.

In any case, the legal working hours are sacred and unshakable. Even if the staff themselves want to work overtime, they will definitely not be able to!

This has been criticized more than once, and some people have even written satirical satirical articles to satirize this mechanized system. But irony for irony, the federal government has never made the slightest concession on this front.

In the words of his old friend who is familiar with history and politics, it is - the embankment of a thousand miles collapsed in an anthill. Why doesn't the federal government know that appropriate relaxation is more conducive to improving efficiency? But the issue of "working hours" is a major right and wrong that once shook the whole world. In order to avoid leaving hidden dangers, the top of the federation would rather reduce efficiency than make even the slightest opening in this regard.

Pan Long himself has experienced the era when he took overtime for granted, and even could brazenly shout "996 is good news". Although he felt that his old friend's statement might be a bit exaggerated, at this moment, comparing Cang Yuan and Di Luonan, he felt that he understood a little bit of the helpless but unwavering look of his old friend when he first said this.

"I think you should talk to the second prince and ask him to arrange some helpers for you. He hesitated for a while, and finally couldn't help but say this when he was riding the heavenly boat, "It's too hard for you to handle so many official duties alone." ”

Cang Yuan shook his head with a smile: "What I need to deal with are some more important things. These things are assigned to others to do, Brother Luo Nan is not at ease, and I am not at ease. Now that I can handle it, I'll do it. ”

"However, as the changes progress, sooner or later you will not be able to handle it. Pan Long said, "Now the law change is only in the preparatory stage, and basically all you have to deal with is the law change affairs in Zhongzhou and Qingzhou." When the change is fully launched, there will be a lot of confusion in Kyushu, and you will not be able to finish it alone, even if you have three heads and six arms. ”

Cang Yuan thought for a while and said, "You have a point, but after all, it is still a matter of the future - something in the future, and I will talk about it in the future." ”

He let out a long breath, revealing a bit of longing, and said, "If it is really as you said, the law change will be fully rolled out throughout Kyushu. At that time, the group of people I brought with me should also learn and succeed. When the time comes, they will deal with small things, and I will be the chief of the major work, and Brother Luo Nan will act as the final anchor of the sea...... If only that could be done, how nice it would be!"

Pan Long sighed, shook his head, and didn't say anything more.

Good words are hard to persuade damned ghosts, and Cangyuan has to run towards the road that has already been done to death, and he can't help it.

Maybe for Cang Yuan, that kind of death can be regarded as the best result......

Everyone has to choose their own path, Cang Yuan chose this truth, even if he is tired to death on this road, he should be smiling.

A person's life may be long or short, but no matter how long he can live, when he dies, he can smile and say, "I died as I deserved", which can be regarded as quite happy.

There are too many people in the world who die to the point of pain and entanglement and can't turn their eyes away, and there are too many people who can't even touch the edge of their ideals in the end of their hard lives, compared to them, Cangyuan is already a lucky one.

In that case, what is there not to be satisfied with?

What's more, if Cang Yuan really died of illness and exhaustion during the Fa change, it would not be a good thing.

...... It's better than raising the anti-flag in the future, leading the army to attack Shendu, meeting him on the battlefield, and even killing him under the sword.

Thinking of this, Pan Long was also relieved.

Of course, Cang Yuan didn't know that Pan Long was already thinking about the scene of meeting him when he rebelled in the future, he was talking and talking, probably a little tired, apologized to Pan Long, closed his eyes and leaned on the carriage, and after a while, his breathing became smooth and long, but he was already asleep.

The heavenly boat landed quickly, and the carriage drove out of the heavenly carriage and slowly returned to Cangfu.

When the carriage stopped, before Pan Long could open his mouth to wake up Cang Yuan, Cang Yuan himself opened his eyes first.

"Hehe, I slept well. He jumped out of the carriage and stretched, the bones on his body made a few crunching sounds, "I feel more energetic!"

Pan Long shook his head - he had slept for less than half an hour in total, so he was considered a "good night's sleep"?

Judging by his appearance, he probably has to stay up late again today.

(Cangyuan, this person...... I wouldn't be surprised if I heard that he was dying of exhaustion in his study one day!)

Pan Long didn't go back to Cangfu, he didn't have anything to do anyway.

It's still early, so you can take a look around Nanxia City and see more of the customs of Gyeonggi.

A moment later, he was already walking down the commercial street lined with shops in Nanxia City.

At this moment, it is close to evening, and the officials have already left work, which is the busiest time for the commercial street. All sorts of shops are trying to do business during the last prime hour of the day, and all kinds of shouts and shouts are in unison.

Food, drink, clothing, use, play...... In almost every store, there are people shouting loudly to attract customers.

As Pan Long walked, he was attracted by the fragrance, and involuntarily walked into a shop on the side of the street with "Lao Zhu Barbecue".

Barbecue is one of the traces left by Zhao Sheng and Wen Chao in the world. Before them, of course, there was a method of cooking in Kyushu, but it was often eaten with sauce after the ingredients and condiments were separated. Some people who are particular about it also think that the original flavor is the most beneficial to health, so that they don't use any condiments.

If you bake something like that, you can eat it, but it's delicious...... Anyway, Pan Long couldn't accept it.

Zhao Sheng and Wen Chao changed this tradition, starting with them, the practice of marinating food before roasting it, and the practice of brushing oil and seasonings while roasting.

These two methods of grilling are called "Wen barbecue" and "Wu barbecue" respectively - Wen barbecue, referring to the barbecue invented by Wenxiang, and Wu barbecue, referring to the barbecue invented by Emperor Wu.

This Lao Zhu barbecue uses the technique of "Wen barbecue", all kinds of ingredients are marinated in advance, and the guest officer wants to eat whatever he wants, and the guy will grill it for him. During the baking process, no additional seasoning is added except for adding a little oil from time to time to prevent it from drying out.

The key to this barbecue method lies in the selection of ingredients and the method of marinating, as for the grasp of the barbecue temperature, it is relatively less strict - in the previous life, in those shops with iron plate barbecue and paper barbecue, there was no problem for customers to roast by themselves, not to mention that now it is still handled by professionals.

The business in the store was very busy, and Pan Long sat in the corner, waiting for the dishes he ordered to be baked and delivered, but he was not in a hurry.

Just then, he heard a slightly familiar voice again.

"Brother Guozhong, this matter is not trivial, we must make a statement to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"That...... I think you're a little too nervous......"

Pan Long followed the sound and saw that Zhang Guozhong, the "little Zhang Champion" he had met before, was sitting in another corner, facing several people with a sad face, looking very embarrassed.
