After the distribution method was issued, Shen Hao's affairs were relaxed. The main thing in his hands now was the official review.
Last month, the official evaluations from various places were completed. There were not many officials from the seventh to sixth grades under his jurisdiction, but he was needed to complete the last step of the opponent's official evaluation: comment.
After the comments are written, they will not be sent back, nor will they be reported further. Instead, they will be deposited directly into the filing room and attached to each person's filing file.
This is equivalent to grading your performance this year. Whether it is excellent, medium or poor will be recorded and can be seen by anyone in the future. This is related to the future career potential of these people. No one would choose for promotion a person who often gets "average or poor" official reviews.
It is precisely because of the official review that the copper cabinet placed in the Black Flag Camp receives the most "gift reporting letters" at the end of each year. Except for the false accusations, if the rest is true, they are all for the sake of official comment.
Regarding this situation, Shen Hao also received a copper note from someone below and asked for instructions on how to deal with it.
How to deal with it? Just set up a few children and act like they are out to deal with them impartially. The rest is mainly to intimidate and intimidate. If all the human connections at the end of the year were to be wiped out in one fell swoop, wouldn’t the whole place be crying to death? Even in the Xuanqing Guard, there is no way to prevent this kind of thing.
Shen Hao also accepted gifts, Wang Jian, Wang Yiming, Zhang Liao, Chen Tianwen...all the lower officials in his jurisdiction came to give gifts, and even Feilong and Zhu Shou handed over generous gifts in a roundabout way.
Shen Hao accepted everything according to the order, but he was not just in and out. Whenever he received a gift, he would ask Hu Tian to return the gift in the form of silver coins according to the discounted value of the gift. It is not enough if you don't want it. You must respect Mr. Shen's face. Give.
Therefore, Shen Hao accepted the gift without any burden. The favor was taken care of, and there was no constraint of "taking advantage of others". On the contrary, the person who gave the gift didn't know how to say what he said after giving the gift. He could only say what he couldn't say, but it really became a "gift", and he couldn't even think about the future.
As for those who don't have the opportunity to deal with Shen Hao on weekdays, it will be even more difficult for them to follow Master Shen's path. You can't even get in. If you dare to ignore the advice and stay at the door several times, the guards from the Black Flag Camp will come to help you wake up.
As time went by, people were turned away more often. In addition, Shen Hao was known as the evil star. The upper class in Fengri City tacitly excluded Shen Hao, and no one even mentioned it.
But just because no one mentioned it doesn't mean that no one really cares about it, it just means that they still have some respect and feel that they don't have to be shameless. But once there are more pressing matters, those upper-class people who are usually arrogant or indifferent can no longer care so much.
As soon as Shen Hao walked in, he saw Hu Tian holding a thick stack of invitations with a dumbfounded look.
"what?"
"They are all the leading figures in Fengri City. Master Shen, why don't you take a look?"
While Shen Hao was changing out of his black robe with the three fox girls waiting on him, he asked nonchalantly: "Is there any more?"
"There are many more, but I picked them out. In addition, everyone who came to submit a post attached a gift list, and I also returned it. I just couldn't refuse these invitations."
Hu Tian was in a difficult situation. He was just a housekeeper, and he was under great pressure when facing the invitations handed over by the high-ranking families in Fengri City. If you don't accept it, you're worried about causing trouble for the master's family; if you accept it, you're worried about being reprimanded by the master's family. It's really tough.
"Show me." Shen Hao changed his clothes, sat down on a chair in the main room, raised his hand to take the pile of invitations from Hu Tian's hand, and quickly picked through them.
"Okay? Let's all go back."
Although he had expected it, when he saw Shen Hao throwing all the invitations on the ground like trash? Hu Tian was still a little confused: "Master Shen? Isn't the whole family paying attention?"
"What do you want to do with them? Everyone thinks they have some connections and some wealth? They think they are high-class, but in fact, that's all. We don't have any friendship at ordinary times? Now we must be attentive and have something to ask for. Why bother to use it as a tool for others? Where are the people?”
Does Hu Tian think this is inappropriate? After all, it is absolutely offensive to offend so many big shots at once. But he knew that it didn't matter what he thought. Master Shen's willingness to do this was the only outcome.
So Hu Tian dutifully collected the invitations on the ground and threw them into the stove in the hall in front of Shen Hao, burning them clean: "Then I will reply to them according to what you said, Mr. Shen?"
"Um."
As soon as Hu Tian left, there was a knock on the door.
Not long after, Xiao Ma trotted in and reported: "Master Shen? It's Wang Xiaoqi who is looking for you, saying he has something important to report."
Shen Hao didn't pay attention, nodded and asked Xiao Ma to lead him to the study. Then he turned around and told Miss Xia to heat up the food first and not put it out in a hurry? It was getting cold very fast today.
Soon after arriving in the study, Wang Jian was led in by Hu Tian himself. Then Hu Tian closed the door and walked away.
"Sir, there was a message from Tan Bin just now." Wang Jian felt hot? He obviously ran over quickly.
"Huh? Tell me."
"The person who responded to the message was one of Tan Bin's companions. This time his pseudonym was "Lao Si"? The message came back from a place fifteen miles south of Zhudao..."
Shen Hao raised his hand, frowned and interrupted: "Bamboo Road? So they haven't turned back yet?"
"Yes, sir? According to the news sent back, they are now divided into two groups? One group returns to the bamboo road close to Qianli Yin's distance to send the message back? The other group continues deep into the southeast of the barbarians and is currently heading towards Baektu Gorge."
Shen Hao said no more and signaled Wang Jian to continue.
"The news said that at noon on January 30, Tan Bin and the others used the guide of the slave caravan as bait to trap three wolf cavalrymen eighty miles east of Wuhu. Then they escaped for interrogation and obtained Some news.
Among them, the news about the wolf clan is that the red-eyed wolf clan has erected the Frost Moon Flag in Sambichu and turned it into a "flag seat place". Currently, there are no less than twenty clans gathered in Sambichu, including The tusked elephant tribe and the snake tribe. The total number of people has not yet been determined, but a conservative estimate is that there must be half a million people gathered. "
More than 20 ethnic groups gathered together, and even set up a "flag seat." Five hundred thousand was definitely too little.
Wang Jian continued: "And according to what the three wolf tribes said, the red-eyed wolf tribe alone has three roving raiding teams with a size of ten thousand, and their targets are north of Baitou Gorge and south of Wuhu Lake. All scattered tribes will be wiped out regardless of their population or materials."
While listening to Wang Jian's story, Shen Hao took out a map from the drawer. There were brief signs of the barbarian regions on it. Although it was not considered military level, it could still be used casually.
After a few gestures on the map to figure out the location relationship, Shen Hao said: "I remember that Wuhu is the transfer point for the slave caravan, right? Their general limit of movement is at Baektu Gorge. So the barbarians don't plan to Are you going to pretend to be a snake with the slave caravan again?"
