Cao Bin finally came to Kaifeng Mansion.
As expected, Bao Zheng did not give him a good look and scolded him with a straight face:
"Uncle Zhongjing, I can let this matter be forgotten by you for pretending to be ill."
"But I hope you will work hard and work seriously, and don't bring your dandy style into Kaifeng Mansion."
"If this government discovers that you have violated laws and disciplines, you will not be leniently spared."
Cao Bin felt helpless: "Master Bao, since you don't like my style, why do you have to transfer me to Kaifeng Mansion? Isn't it better to let me go?"
Bao Zheng was silent for a long time, and then said seriously: "Uncle Zhongjing, you have good nature. You should not indulge in wine and sex, let alone indulge yourself..."
Seeing that he was about to start the education mode again, Cao Bin said impatiently:
"Master Bao, I know everything you said, but Cao's ambition is not here, Master Bao!"
Bao Zheng waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, I will correct your ambition!"
"Forehead......"
Cao Bin was speechless and almost wanted to cry. What do you value in me?
Can't I change it?
When Bao Zheng saw this, there was a hint of joking in his eyes and he said:
"Okay, let Mr. Gongsun take you to familiarize yourself with official duties."
Gongsun Ce stepped forward with a smile and said, "Uncle Cao, come with me!"
Then he took Cao Bin to an official house and said:
"Uncle Cao, my Kaifeng Mansion is under the sixteen counties, which are divided into six categories: Gong, Cang, Hu, Bing, Dharma, and Shi."
"Each Cao Cao has one person who joins the army and serves as director."
"On weekdays, you will manage these six matters for Master Bao."
"You can handle small things on your own, but big things need to be reported to Mr. Bao."
Later, he called Liu Cao to join the army and introduced Cao Bin in detail.
Finally, he took him to the official residence of "Shao Yin of Kaifeng Prefecture" and said:
"Uncle Cao, you came at the right time."
"My Kaifeng Mansion has been squeezed into a lot of affairs. After some time, it will be the time for the Procuratorate's assessment again."
"Master Bao is also having a headache. You need to lead the clerk to review all the accounts to ensure they are correct."
With that said, Gongsun Ce pointed to a pile of books and said:
"Every Cao Cao has sent over all the accounts, you'd better start as soon as possible."
Looking at the files that had been piled up to the roof, Cao Bin couldn't help but open his mouth and asked:
"Mr. Gongsun, are you sure this isn't Master Bao deliberately trying to mess with me?"
Gongsun Ce stroked his beard and smiled and said:
"Uncle Cao is too worried. How could Mr. Bao do this?"
"In fact, some time ago, the court was busy, and Mr. Bao was too busy to do anything, so he accumulated it."
"Mr. Bao didn't ask me to finish it, but I have to work hard to do it."
"Otherwise Master Bao will be very angry."
After saying that, he gave Cao Bin a meaningful look, turned around and left.
Cao Bin looked at the account books in front of him and looked like he was about to cry. Damn, he said he was not trying to trick me.
But when I came, there were so many things to review?
Cao Bin picked up a file and read it.
The vertical writing style, dense traditional Chinese characters, and no punctuation marks made him feel dizzy.
At this time, Cang Cao joined the army and said:
"Cao Shaoyin, each of us has sent some staff to help you handle your accounts!"
Kaifeng Prefecture is in charge of the capital's household registration, taxes, laws, prisons and many other affairs.
Without professional help, there is no way to handle these accounts.
After the twelve officials came in to receive the gift, they looked at the accounts in the room with bitter expressions on their faces, but they did not dare to have any objections.
Who was chosen by the leader?
Seeing that Cao Bin did not give any further instructions, Cang Cao joined the army and quickly raised his hands and said:
"If Cao Shaoyin has nothing else to do, I will take my leave first."
With that said, he opened the door and left.
Cao Bin grabbed his collar and said angrily:
"Resign? Are you trying to be lazy? With so many things, you only have a dozen or so people to deal with them?"
"How the hell did I get the Year of the Monkey and the Moon of the Horse!"
Cansao Junjun quickly waved his hand and said:
"My lord, you misunderstood. We still have daily errands to do, and we cannot delay them."
"How about we spare a few more people to help you?"
Cao Bin looked at the officials coming in and out and spat in his face:
"There are so many of you, just send these few people to me, think of me as a fool!"
Cangcao joined the army and said quickly:
"Sir, Master Bao did the same thing when you weren't here. He was really busy with business!"
"How about you arrange the work yourself? We will listen to you in everything!"
Cao Bin looked at him for a long time and then said: "Okay, I believe you for now, don't let me catch you being lazy."
He is not stupid. He doesn't know anything now. How can he arrange errands? If the arrangements are wrong, won't he have to take responsibility?
Seeing that Cao Bin no longer held on to him, Cang Cao joined the army and hurriedly resigned, wiped his "cold sweat" and said to himself:
"This uncle is really arrogant. Isn't this how the Yamen arrange it? You force me, but I can't do anything!"
Cao Bin looked at the dozen or so officials in the room and asked, "How long will it take to process these accounts?"
The officials looked at each other and said:
"Sir, it will probably take more than two months to finish everything."
"Actually, there's no need to worry. As long as we work hard, Mr. Bao won't blame us."
"All yamen are like this."
Cao Bin was speechless.
It has been more than two months. You are not in a hurry, but the problem is that I don’t want to work hard!
If I can't finish it, won't I have to deal with these accounts every day?
Cao Bin pondered for a while, then waved and said: "You go to work first... don't be lazy."
Seeing this, the officials nodded quickly and each found some accounts to review.
Cao Bin looked at them with a melancholy look on their faces, and turned to the sedan chair and said:
"Come with me for a walk. I can't believe those officials are so busy."
The sedan hurriedly followed Cao Bin and walked towards the prison cells of each Cao in Kaifeng Prefecture.
There are people who report crimes, people who move their household registrations, people who report taxes and levies in various counties, merchants occupy roads, teach people the law, and encourage people to teach farming...
Anyway, it is busy, but only a few people in each department are busy. Most people are studying with a newspaper and fishing in troubled waters.
When they saw Cao Bin, the new Shaoyin, coming, they quickly sat upright and looked serious.
There are also times when dealing with civil affairs, which are delayed as long as possible, and the people who are handling the affairs are directed around in circles, while they spend most of the time drinking tea and chatting.
You can always find time to be lazy anyway.
In this era, Kaifeng Mansion was already considered a well-established yamen. After all, under Bao Zheng's supervision, there was rarely any favoritism or bribery here.
But Cao Bin understood a little bit. It seems that some things are roughly similar regardless of ancient and modern times.
"Sedan, go and call Xia Laodao, and then go to 'Jiang Zuo Jian' to find a team of construction craftsmen."
Although the sedan chair was puzzled, he obeyed Cao Bin's order and ran out immediately. It only took half an hour to find Xia Laodao and the construction craftsman.
Xia Laodao was a little confused and asked, "What do you want from me?"
Cao Bin pointed to the various Cao squad rooms in Kaifeng Mansion and said:
"Give me access to all these squad rooms so that I can see them all at a glance. Can you do that?"
Xia Laodao carefully studied the structure of the Liucao class room, laughed and said:
"It's not a big deal, uncle, just keep an eye on it."
After a while, Xia Laodao began to instruct the craftsmen to smash the wall, which scared all the officials and ran out.
Everyone looked at each other and said, "Uncle Zhongjing, is he crazy?"
Zhan Zhao, Wu Shu and others heard the noise and ran out. Bai Yutang twitched his lips and said, "Is this Cao going to destroy Kaifeng Mansion?"
Zhan Zhao shook his head and said with a wry smile: "How did I know?"
