Chapter 155

On a sunny afternoon, the whole world seemed to be painted in gold.

The big lion of the Household Office looked down at the gentlemen coming and going with trembling spirit.

The central government of Daxia is always shrouded in majesty, and only at this time of the day—when the office hours are about to end, the government office will become more relaxed.

Cheng Yun'an stretched, and closed the half-read dossier.In terms of inertia, he and Cheng Jinzhou are like real fathers and sons, especially in the face of government affairs, even if they can do nothing, after becoming the head of the household department, although he has a stronger sense of fame and fortune, he does not. Will make him do more work.

In fact, he only picked out the files he liked to read every day, and handed over the rest to his subordinates.Master Cheng Yun'an spent the time saved on the reception and making friends.To a certain extent, his aristocratic way of working in politics has allowed him to meet many friends, and his personal relations are all smooth.

Coupled with the fact that the second elder brother Cheng Yunxiang often walked with him, Cheng Yun'an only felt that life was more comfortable than in Shaonan.

Of course, he was not without the slightest trouble - Cheng Jinzhou's wandering around the capital made him bear a lot of pressure.But within the imperial court, only members of the political affairs hall at the Shangshu level are eligible to know about the relevant matters. Even Cheng Yunxiang himself is not clear about it, only knowing that his son embezzled a lot of warehouse materials.

To be honest, Cheng Yun'an really didn't care that Cheng Jinzhou embezzled a little money, especially knowing that he didn't spend the money on messy places, so he was even more unwilling to waste energy to manage him.

The longer he stays in the capital, the more he can appreciate the importance of an astro-manager. At this time, he has nothing to worry about except for his son's moral loss - misappropriating government materials, stealing public funds, etc. Things, in the eyes of the nobles, have nothing to do with morality.

It's just a little money.

Master Xie An walked over quietly, divided the files on the table into two categories in order, and then whispered: "Master Shen, Master Shangshu has left."

At the level of chief executive, you don't have to commute to and from get off work on time, but if Master Shangshu is in the government office, everyone usually leaves later than the boss.

Cheng Yun'an clapped his hands happily and said: "Today is Wen Dajun's host, but I have to pay for it. I didn't expect him to be so good at conjunctions. If you don't believe him, he is a good match."

He only invited one teacher, Xie An, who was regarded as one of Cheng's mother's relatives in Hexi, and he trusted him a lot.The main job every day is to make briefings on the dossiers, and then distribute them to different subordinates. Sometimes they have to sign fake signatures and seals, which are common methods used by officials.

Institutions within the Ministry of Households overlap very much, and departments of different natures overlap with each other in different regions, but in fact, it is up to the superior to decide which department manages where.He can either let the people of Southwest Cao manage the land tax in Shaonan, or he can send the Department of General Affairs or the Supervisory Office to do it. Which method to use is often determined by the preference of the chief official.Or in other words, whoever manages which household Cao, his affairs will be handed over to the household Cao.

Cheng Yun'an naturally also enjoyed these benefits, which enabled him to gain the joy of various households while not doing anything.Although petty officials do not like to work, they prefer to hold power.

Xie An smiled and put the most files in his hand into the green basket, and put the few files approved by Cheng Yunan into the red file, and placed them in the middle of the table in the room, before he said with a smile: "This morning's briefing, You haven't read it yet."

The slow pace of life means that no one is required to deal with the files in a timely manner. Except for a few times, the six parts are more often done as an afterthought.

"Read it to me in the car." Cheng Yun'an couldn't wait to arrange his clothes and walked out, smiling: "In two days, my wife will arrive, so we can't drink every day until night."

"Congratulations, sir." Xie An smiled slightly. He and Cheng Yun'an were about the same age, and they were quite close.

"What's your congratulations?" Cheng Yun'an actually narrowed his eyes. Being able to bring his family members here will give him the feeling of settling down. Becoming a Beijing official is of course the life that literati want—living at the foot of the emperor, in a bustling city , a thriving cultural environment, the focus of scholars...

For people like him, being an official is just a formality, more like embellishment of one's identity.

The two chatted and laughed and packed up, and when they reached the corridor, they stopped their smiles.The small officials passing by stood aside respectfully. When they were in the government office, officials without official positions were not allowed to say hello to officials above the 20th level, so as not to make too much noise-in fact, in a place like the central government, if you want to meet An official below level 20 is much more difficult than meeting an official above level 10, so everyone has developed a good habit of not making any noise.

Just as the two were about to walk out of the government office, Li Shangshu suddenly appeared outside the detention room with a smile on his face. Cheng Yun'an glanced at Xie An and naturally asked him why the information was inaccurate.Xie An shook his head in confusion, quickly stepped aside, hid beside him and knelt down to salute.Cheng Yunan made a long bow.

When he arrived in front of Cheng Yun'an, Li Shangshu did not leave, but said with a smile: "Is Yun'an busy?"

If it is other principals, there are seven or eight ranks separated by the monk book, not to mention being remembered, even if there is a good impression.Cheng Yun'an's difference, of course, is that he has a son of an astrologer, and he seems to be a very promising astrologer.

For officials, the development level of the Star Warlock is very important. Their lifespan is limited. In many cases, even if they know that a certain Star Warlock will definitely improve their level, they will not invest all their money in the end - for the benefit of future generations. If you put money into it, you can put all your wealth into it, and the most likely thing you will end up with is bankruptcy.

In the eyes of the court officials, Cheng Jinzhou was firstly because of his close relationship with high-level star warlocks, secondly because of his rapid rise in rank, and thirdly because of his young age. Not even His Majesty the Emperor can predict what will happen in 200 years, let alone ordinary nobles.The investment star warlock is not a nanny. There are only a few times when he can help.

Cheng Yun'an did not expect Master Shang Shu to look like he was waiting for him, and said hello with a smile on his face: "Master Li, I just finished reading today's file."

"It's good if it goes well." Li Shaolin smiled kindly and said, "Go home and spend more time with your son if you have nothing to do. Has the family brought it over?"

"I'll be there in three to five days. Thank you for your concern, sir." Cheng Yun'an also gradually calmed down, and he probably knew that it must be related to Cheng Jinzhou. Otherwise, Lord Shangshu could just ask him to come over. There is no need to wait in person.

"It's a good thing for the whole family to reunite." Master Shang Shu said, and slowly left from the right side.

Cheng Yun'an no longer cared about going to the literary meeting, hurried home with Xie An, and saw Cheng Jinzhou.

He couldn't help but asked, "what have you been doing these days?"
