At the beginning, there is smoke coming out of the ancestral grave, and the woman is busy in the imp

The master and disciple fell into silence at the same time.

A person came out of the right wing and saw this scene in front of the hall.

The man paused in his steps and said jokingly: "Hey, our Lord Minister is finally willing to bring his precious disciple to the public house!"

Xie Yuheng came to his senses and followed the sound.

The visitor was none other than Wei Chi, the new left minister of the Ministry of War after Tang Tai retired from official service.

Wei Chi retired from the army.

Listen to what the gentleman said, if he has been on the Bingzhou front line.

Maybe before the year of destiny, he can be promoted to the rank of general.

But for some unknown reason, Wu Shang retreated to Kyoto and became a civil servant.

Although he is Zuo Shilang, he is a military commander.

He has a high reputation in the military, and there is probably no hope of further advancement in this life.

Wei Chi was born tall and thick, with some heart crumbs hanging on his beard.

There is even an apricot-leaf yellow wine gourd on his waist...

Si Yuandao's eyelids jumped when he saw it, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Drinking is strictly prohibited during the period of going to Yamen."

Wei Chi untied the wine gourd from his waist, threw it in his hand, and said with a smile:

"I know, I know! There is tea in it. If you don't believe me, please take a look."

Wei Chi stepped forward and handed the wine gourd to Si Yuandao while winking at Xie Yuheng.

The minister of his family, but his treasure is the Marquis of Jiangling, and he does not bring the minister of the Ministry of War to play with him on weekdays.

I can only exchange a few words occasionally on the day of going to court.

After all, the amount of wine Xie Yuheng could pour in one glass... Si Yuandao still remembers it vividly, could he not be more careful!

After Si Yuandao pulled out the plug, he brought it close to the tip of his nose and smelled it.

Although there is a faint smell of wine, it is the result of the gourd itself containing wine all year round.

The fruit inside is just like tea as Wei Chi said.

Most likely, Mengzi Tu would smell this wine and satisfy his craving!

Si Yuandao returned the gourd to him and pulled Xie Yuheng into the hall.

Side said: "It's a good thing that our military headquarters is far away from the Metropolitan Procuratorate."

"Otherwise, there is no need to wait for the morning meeting on the first day of the new year. You will have to take part in one later."

Wei Chi was not angry after being scolded, but instead smiled.

He scratched the back of his head and followed the two of them.

"How can this be possible? Besides, aren't you still here, my lord?!"

"I'm sure I can beat that monk with a broken mouth!"

Wei Chi changed his subject and said, "But, sir!"

"Then, when will the arsenal chief and the official department replenish our ranks?"

"Oh, to tell you the truth, I looked at those piles of ledgers. I felt really dizzy and sleepy!"

"Do you think it's because the weather has been cold recently and I've caught windchill?"

Regarding the Fourth Department of the Ministry of War, there has always been a rumor in official circles:

"Martial arts selection, martial arts selection, many favors, many resentments. The frame of the car, neither up nor down."

"On the staff side, the staff side is poor and busy. In the arsenal and the arsenal, the staff is idle and rich."

However, now we have a responsible boss like Si Yuandao, and a strict censor like Zuo Du Yushi.

The so-called rich arsenal is nothing but empty talk.

Anyone who dares to profit from ordnance is simply asking for death!

Therefore, there is only one person left.

But no matter how idle the yamen is, at the end of the year, it will be as busy as a wooden old cow, spinning non-stop.

It just so happened that the previous arsenal's wife died.

I went back to my hometown in Yizhou to attend the funeral. After the funeral, I had to observe mourning for three years.

The official affairs of the Arsenal Department will be handled by Wei Chi for the time being.

Si Yuandao rolled his eyes angrily.

"But I can pull you down. You're as strong as an ox, and you're still infected with wind and cold!"

Wei Chi smiled again and said, "As you know, I have been practicing martial arts with my brother since I was a child."

"If I can write a few sentences and write reasonably well, I'm pretty good at it."

"If you ask me to keep an eye on those account books every day, it's really as big as the first and the second!"

After hearing this, Xie Yuheng smiled and said, "We still have more than an hour before we leave the Yamen."

"It just so happens that Yu Heng is also familiar with the official affairs of the Ministry of War. Mr. Lao Wei, can you tell me where the account book is?"

Wei Chi was startled at first, then quickly reacted and said happily:

"I thought it was the adults who brought the Marquis here for fun today."

"I never thought that it would be the new arsenal doctor, hahahaha!"

Wei Chi's uninhibited laughter made all the officials working in the hall start to shout.

Someone whispered: "Didn't the closing exam just end two hours ago?"

"The results came out so soon?"

Another person covered his face with the military registration list, looked at Xie Yuheng secretly, and whispered back:

"Our lord's disciples are naturally different. Maybe His Majesty will personally grade the exams!"

"Tsk, look at how tall this kid is. He's already nearly seven feet tall at the age of twelve!"

As he said that, he looked down at his short legs. Alas, it was really heartbreaking!

On the other hand, Si Yuandao did not stop Xie Yuheng from doing anything.

Xiao Yuheng has also made great achievements in arithmetic!

A small ledger is at your fingertips!

However, the account books are all in Wei Chi's place.

Wei Chi and Si Yuandao both worked in the Department of Affairs.

Si Yuandao asked Zaoli to set up another table beside his desk.

Another chair was moved in, and it became Xie Yuheng's temporary office space.

Seeing that the table was set up, Wei Chi directly handed over a thick account book.

Thinking about this book in his mind, Xie Yuheng could read it for several days.

The task was barely relieved, and Wei Chi clapped his hands happily.

Then he returned to his seat, took off the gourd of wine from his waist and drank a few sips before continuing to work.

The accounts of the Arsenal Department mainly include expenditures on ordnance research and development and procurement, as well as some miscellaneous income.

The statistics need to be completed and submitted to the Ministry of Household Affairs for verification before sealing at the end of the year.

If there are any mistakes, they will be invited to the household department for tea.

If you don't drink well, you will have to try the tea from Duchayuan.

If you can't drink tea well at either place, then I can only send you to the Dali Temple prison to taste some 'coarse tea'.

Xie Yuheng was looking at the accounts and drinking some tea.

He only picked up his pen occasionally and drew strange symbols on the paper.

Zaoli, who was passing by, caught a glimpse of it and shook his head secretly.

I thought to myself: Marquis Jiangling is still an eleven or twelve-year-old child after all!

Fortunately, Master Shangshu brags from time to time about how powerful his disciples are!

This... feels similar to his son's. The painting is not half as beautiful as his son's painting!

In this case, doesn't his son also have the talent to be the number one scholar?

Time passes quickly as I flip through the book and read the words between my fingers.

The bells of the lower office rippled, but in the Secretary's Office, only a few people left here and there.

The rest of the people, including Si Yuandao, the minister, were still busy with official duties.

Xie Yuheng will check the account book again from beginning to end.

When I looked up at the small hourglass on the gentleman's desk next to me, I saw that it was almost midnight.

To avoid disturbing Si Yuandao who was working, Xie Yuheng stood up quietly, took the account book and manuscript paper, and walked to Wei Chi's desk.

He lowered his voice and said, "Master Wei, I have finished all the calculations in this book."

"what?!"

Wei Chi was shocked and looked at Xie Yuheng in disbelief. The officials in the hall were also shocked to look at him and the two of them.
