Zhou Gu was surprised when he saw Cui Xingzhi and Ning Ze.
However, he didn't ask how the two came to the capital so quickly, because he didn't have time to chat, so he just waved his hand and said, "Ziye, take them to get familiar with them, and have them come back to help me in half an hour."
Midnight responded, cupping her hands and saying, "Two adults, please."
When Ning Ze heard the voice of "Sir", he immediately cheered up. Yes, from now on, he is also an adult.
Cui Xingzhi heard the key point of his cousin's words. Half an hour later, they came back and helped him directly. In other words, they saw the two of them coming to the Ministry of Revenue. They took office today and started working. However, since the household department was so busy, they came back early to work, so he had no problem with that.
Therefore, Ziye took the two of them to familiarize themselves with the current situation of the Ministry of Revenue, and met Sun Chunwang, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, and a group of people who were busy.
Sun Chunwang smiled from ear to ear and praised the two of them for coming back in time. He also said that the Queen cares for the Queen's husband and is considerate of her subordinates. The household department is short of people. They have joined the job starting today. Both of them are from the fourth grade. Pin Shenyou is only one level lower than Zhou Gu, and will follow the concubine from now on.
The rest of the household department saw that two more people had arrived. Although they were the officials above them when they first entered the court and had higher official positions than them, they were direct descendants of the Tainu's faction. They followed the Tainu to fight against the Great Wei Dynasty. , especially one of them is the cousin of the concubine, so they can't compare. I was also very happy. Although everyone was sweating profusely from work, they couldn't help laughing out loud. After all, no matter how high the official position is, they are not here to show off, but to do work. Now they hope that a few more people will share the work. Now it is really too much for one person to do the work of ten people.
Half an hour later, Ning Ze wiped his sweat and said to Ziye: "You are so busy, why can't you even go to the office and stay up late at night to work?"
Ziye shook his head, "At the latest at Haishi, you will definitely be able to go to the Yamen. This is the latest rule given by the concubine to all ministries. After all, people are made of iron. Two days a day is fine, but I can't stand it for a long time."
Ning Ze thought about Haishi, it was a bit late.
Ziye said: "Mr. Ning, you don't know that when my son came to the Ministry of Finance on the first day, he didn't go to the Yamen until after midnight."
Ning Ze suddenly no longer felt that it was too late.
Ziye added: "Later, the young master also felt that this was not possible. The concubine proposed to open Enke at the court. Later, she specially summoned six ministers and made strict regulations. This is before Hai Shi, and you must go to the Yamen."
Ning Ze sighed.
"You two just came back today, are you still tired?" Ziye looked at the two of them, "Why don't you talk to the young master and come back tomorrow?"
"No need." Ning Ze shook his head, "Just for today!"
If he hadn't rested all night yesterday, he would have been tired, but today, after being called Master Ning, he was no longer tired. Even Ziye changed his mind about him.
Cui Xingzhi also nodded, "No need."
Seeing that the two of them seemed fine, Midnight brought them back to Zhou Gu on time half an hour later.
After the two came back, Zhou Gu was not polite and directly assigned work to them.
Ning Ze and Cui Xingzhi took the job and, like everyone else, jumped in head first.
After half a year of training, Ning Ze has developed his potential. Cui Xingzhi has been cultivated by Cui Gong since he was a child. The Cui family of Qinghe has been a civil servant in the past dynasties, and has a profound background, so naturally it is no problem. With the help of the two people, although he was not very skilled at the beginning and was not very smooth, Zhou Gu suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.
What's more, in Xu Shi, today's household department went to the Yamen in advance.
When Sun Chunwang walked out of the household department, he said to Zhou Gu with a smile: "Mrs. Madam, it has to be you. There are two more capable people in the household department. It's just different. Even the old minister feels that his shoulders are much lighter. My waist doesn’t hurt that much today.”
Zhou Guxiao: "Master Sun went back to rest earlier. The concubine has received a reply from Prince Daliang. The seeds for spring plowing have been asked for 10,000 days from Dawei. The Ministry of Revenue must send experienced people to check and accept them. Don't be fooled by Da Wei. Wei fooled the bad seeds, so the manpower still has to be dispatched, and I'm afraid they will still be busy at this time tomorrow."
Sun Chunwang was overjoyed, "Thank you so much, Prince Yan."
Even if two more people are sent out, he feels that he can solve this big problem and is very happy.
Arriving at the door of the household, Mr. Sun got in the car first and left. Zhou Gu turned around and looked behind him, only to see Ning Ze staggering out, looking tired and depressed. Cui Xingzhi was fine, but the tired look on his face was also It's obvious.
Zhou Gu reached out and patted both of them on the shoulders, "Go back and rest!"
Ning Ze originally thought that after returning to the royal capital, he would have a drink with Zhou Gu to celebrate his qualifications as the concubine, but now that he was exhausted, he had no other ideas and nodded, "Okay."
Cui Xingzhi said, "I haven't said congratulations to my cousin yet, congratulations to my cousin."
Zhou Gu raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Okay, I received your congratulations and let's go."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and got into the carriage.
Ning Ze watched the carriage go away, which seemed to be in the direction of the palace. He felt dizzy, "Huh? Doesn't the princess live in the Zhou Mansion? I vaguely remember someone saying that he also has a mansion outside the palace."
"My cousin's mansion is the first mansion in our area, but he doesn't live there. It's not unusual for him to live in a palace." Cui Xingzhi urged, "Brother Ning, let's go."
"Let's go, let's go, I'm so sleepy." Ning Ze quickly got on the horse.
Zhou Gu returned to the Fengdian Palace and found that Su Rong hadn't come back yet. He said "Huh?" and asked, "Why hasn't she come back today? Where has she been? What is she doing?"
Aunt Zhao quickly replied, "Go back to my wife, my wife is still in the meeting hall today. It seems that she was delayed by the work of the Ministry of Works to repair the dam and arrange manpower."
Zhou Gu nodded and wanted to go find Su Rong, but was afraid that he would disturb her, so he went directly to take a bath.
After he took a shower, Su Rong hadn't come back yet, so he followed her example and waited for her in the room while playing with the nine-ring chain as usual.
After waiting for half an hour, Su Rong still didn't come back. Instead, Zhou Gu coaxed himself to sleep. He tilted his head and threw the nine-ring chain aside. His eyelids closed until they were completely closed and he fell asleep.
When Su Rong came back, there was a light in the palace. She suddenly stepped lightly. Seeing that Aunt Zhao was still awake, she asked in a low voice: "Is Zhou Guxian back?"
"Yes, I came back an hour earlier than you." Aunt Zhao also lowered her voice, "The old slave asked a few questions and said that Lord Ning and Lord Cui Xingzhi came back from Xinqicheng today. Without rest, they went directly to the Ministry of Household Affairs Ding Mao, the people from the Ministry of Finance went to office one hour earlier than usual."
Su Rong suddenly realized that during her break, Lanzhi seemed to have mentioned something to her, saying that Ning Ze and Cui Xingzhi had returned to the capital. She did not expect them to come back so quickly. They were two or three days earlier than she expected, but they were still fine. Being sensible, I immediately went to the Ministry of Household Affairs to report when I came back.
