The next day, after morning court, they went to the Salt and Iron Department to handle some official business. Xu Ping, Liu Han and Guo Zi hurried to the Ordinance Editing Office. Today is the day for the first batch of public officials transferred from the east and west routes of Beijing to formally train. The chiefs of the departments and subordinates were watching with eager eyes, waiting for Xu Ping to make a decision to make the charter so that they could choose people to return to their yamen.

Suddenly, more than half of the manpower was missing. All the yamen were busy these days and needed to supplement them urgently. Of course, it was the second thing to be busy. What was even more serious was that the remaining public officials had been busy for a few days and found that the things they had handled were not much different from those before, and there was nothing they could do to delay, and the superiors had no intention of increasing money and food. Once they had planned, they could not get any benefits if they continued like this, and the court could see them and they would not add people. So they slowly slacked off and procrastinated more and more official duties. The superiors had no choice but to find ways to supplement their manpower.

On the way, Xu Ping said to Guo Zi: "A lot of new Jingyou Yuanbao coins have been cast in the smelting yard, including the black iron coins we mentioned earlier. A few days ago, the Secretariat decided to be piloted in Ru, Tang and Deng. You need to watch them in the past or two months. If you have any inappropriate things, you should correct them as soon as possible. Before the New Year, Zhao Xun served as the governor of Ruzhou. He is an old man from Sansi. He has known me for many years. You can ask him for help if you have anything to do."

Guo Zi agreed in full.

Zhao Xu has been a judge in the Sansi Department for more than four years. Recently, he finally served as a foreign minister and became a governor in Ruzhou. After serving as a governor, he could return to the court to serve as an important position as long as he did not make any mistakes. The judges in the Sansi Department and the supervisor of the Georgia Department were waiting for such opportunities, otherwise these jobs in the Sansi Department would have no future.

Zhao Xu and Xu Ping were in the same year and had a good relationship. Guo Zi naturally knew that with such a local official, things would be much easier to handle.

Xu Ping said: "You have a lot of things in the past six months. In addition to iron coins, there is also tea method. Fang Tianyan has arrived in Xiangzhou, Jingxi Road, and in another two or three months, the new tea there will be down. How to sell it in the north of Jingxi Road, you need to spend more energy. This new tea method was proposed by our Salt and Iron Department, so you must not mess it up."

Although Jingxi Road was only divided into two north and south roads during the reign of Emperor Taizong and was soon merged, there were always two residences of the transport envoy, and the deputy envoy or judge was in Xiangzhou. In fact, the north and south were still divided, but the allocation of money and grain throughout the road was uniformly arranged by the transport envoy. Because of this, Xiangzhou is the second largest prefecture of Jingxi Road, and many branch offices are there.

Xu Ping said again: "Also, after the Qiaodaoxiang Army came, the Secretary of State of the Central Committee decided to ask them to build various bridges in Kaifeng and Luoyang. In Yongzhou, they were used to steel and cement to build bridges and roads, and naturally the same was true when they arrived in the Central Plains. This year, the people of the Yueqiaodaoxiang Army wanted to build a yard in Chicang Town outside the city, and the pig iron used was transported from Wuyang County. You can go to see the new iron coins and go to Wuyang County to take a look. The people of the Qiaodaoxiang Army followed and see how their iron smelting farm was like."

Wuyang County belongs to Xuzhou, and there is already a Guyechang at this time. It is an industry under the jurisdiction of the Sansi. It is under Guo Zi's rule. He went there to see it right. Wuyang Iron Mine has a very good taste in the Central Plains. Even in Xu Ping's previous life, it was also the most important steel base in the Central Plains with Anyang. Anyang was Xiangzhou at this time, and the history of iron smelting is much longer than Wuyang, and it was also the largest and most important iron smelting base with the largest and most important production in the Song Dynasty at this time. However, the distance there is a little further away from Fengfu, and there is no convenient Ruhe Caihe water transportation in Wuyang, so it is not the first choice.

The three of them walked and said, entering the yamen of the Ordinance Editing Office.

"Why are there so many people today? All the yamen are here?" As soon as he entered the door, Liu Han was startled and couldn't help but mutter.

Xu Ping looked up and saw that the main hall was full of seats, knowing that they were all here to ask about the newly recruited public officials. The three departments ordered Kou Yu to let go of this matter and left it to Xu Ping for the full responsibility. Other government agencies were afraid that he would use public service for personal gain, so they gave him priority to the Salt and Iron Department. It was normal for people to keep a close eye on it.

In terms of official positions, the deputy envoy of the salt and iron is the first deputy in the Sansi, and Xu Ping is the second largest person in the Sansi under Kou Yu. Even if others have ideas in their hearts, no one publicly doubts.

After entering the main hall, a group of officials from the three departments saluted Xu Ping.

Seeing that Wang Weizhong, deputy envoy of the Ministry of Revenue and Li Hong, deputy envoy of the Du Branch, were also there, Xu Ping hurriedly said, "Why are the two deputy envoys having time today?"

After hearing Xu Ping's words, Wang Weizhong couldn't help but sigh: "It's not that we have time, but that the yamen is busy. With so many people missing, how can we do things? If this continues, this year's leap year record will not be able to be completed. At that point, Sansi's face will be greatly lost!"

Xu Ping sat down and said to Wang Weizhong: "At most, one or two months, the manpower can be replenished. In the past, it was not long before noon, and the public officials in the yamen returned home. Now in an extraordinary period, let them suffer an extra hour or two. Each yamen wrote down the extra time for each person to set up a case to make up some money and food, and did not treat them unfairly."

Wang Weizhong and Li Hong looked at each other and did not speak again. Although not many of the remaining public officials made money, many of them still have wealthy families and may not be happy to work for more money and food.

The work and rest time at this time is very different from Xu Ping's previous life. The time for the matter is very early. They go home shortly after noon. The work in the yamen is actually similar to the work and rest time of the old farmer who farms, go to bed early and get up early. The officials always get up in the middle of the night when they go to court, and talk about things in the palace in the early morning. When it is the working time of Xu Ping's previous life, the morning court will be dispersed. When they return to the yamen, the small officials and officials just finished sorting out the things they had to do that day and wait for the officials to go to court to deal with it.

This damn schedule made Xu Ping very uncomfortable. Every morning was a torture. But at noon, he had just gotten up, but there was no one in the yamen. According to the habits of his previous life, Xu Ping always felt that it was not difficult to ask officials to work overtime, and at worst he could pay overtime. In fact, no one paid Xu Ping's proposal. Not to mention that many people had to use the afternoon to deal with private matters, transportation in this era was also difficult to satisfy.

Kaifeng City is very large, but the most crowded inner city is not big, and every inch of land is valuable. It is not affordable for not being a dignitary or local natives. The lower-level officials and public officials who do the work cannot afford to live in. They all live in the outer city, and some even live in each room outside the city. When they go home a little later in the afternoon, the city gate may be closed and they can't even go back home.

Xu Ping has always wanted to solve this problem, such as establishing residential areas for officials like in his previous life, trying to concentrate as much as possible, and then providing shuttle bus-like tools for commuting. This is easy to think about, but difficult to do. It is very difficult to find large open spaces in Kaifeng City. The expansion of the palace has many obstacles, let alone building houses for officials.

Moreover, most of the industries of the high-ranking officials and powerful people are concentrated in store rental and settlement warehouse transfer shops. According to Xu Ping's previous life, it was the real estate industry and the financial industry. Xu Ping did not have that much energy to seize the land from their mouths.

Most of what Xu Ping can do now is a tinkering job. In this way, he is both frustrated and angry, and he also complains everywhere. However, this is a necessary stage in the officialdom and the most tempering time.

I have known what to write in the past two days, but I always feel that the organization is not good. Readers forgive me and allow me to make some adjustments. These two days, there are a lot of introductory content, and I feel anxious, but there is nothing I can do. To be continued.
