January twenty-three.
It has started to snow in Tianlan Imperial City. The temperature was dropping rapidly, and it would be freezing to death if you were outside the house in the middle of the night. It was much colder here than in Fengri City, where Shen Hao had lived for many years.
In the past, I relied on a stove to keep warm, but that thing was prone to accidents, and it also filled the room with the smell of fireworks, and a big lump of black scum could come out of my nostrils after one night.
Although ordinary people still use carbon stoves, large households no longer need to rely on carbon stoves for heating and use air conditioners instead. Although it is a waste of pan spirit stones and the cost is dozens of times higher than that of a carbon stove, the benefits are self-evident.
As soon as the air conditioner is turned on, the house feels like spring, neither too cold nor too hot. A single sheet is enough. There is no need to endure the discomfort of a carbon stove. You can sleep comfortably until dawn!
The two pregnant women in Shen's residence are now a little bit pregnant, and their bodies are getting plumper, but they look good. They are also following the daily activities taught by Shen Hao and will not stay in the room and sit around all day long. At worst, wear thicker clothes when going out and have more people accompany you.
Because Yu Qiao and Chu Linxiang were pregnant at the same time, there were only three fox girls left who were tit for tat with Shen Hao from time to time. After closing the door, the three fox girls were even crazier than before, and their eyes were red. Especially Xia Nu, this stupid slave, would only give up after tossing herself until she fainted every time.
Why doesn't Shen Hao understand the little thoughts of the three fox girls? However, although barbarians and humans are similar in many ways, they are essentially different races. It is extremely difficult to conceive a child like Yu Qiao and Chu Linxiang. But he couldn't say these words, otherwise it would undoubtedly crush the thoughts of the three stupid slaves. .
Before dawn, Shen Hao got up, packed up, and walked to the Yamen after breakfast. Now that his residence is very close to the Yamen, he is impatient to ride in a carriage. In addition, he is now at the fourth level of the Xuanhai Realm, so neither cold air nor other evil intentions can threaten him anymore.
Walking in the snow in the early morning and riding a car is actually quite enjoyable.
It was just a pain for the guards who were following behind, all of them had their noses turned red from the cold.
Shen Hao had never gone to the yamen so early in the past when he was in Fengri City. He went to and from the yamen on time when he liked, and tried not to waste too much time in the yamen every day unless there was something urgent.
But now Shen Hao has to go there early, otherwise there are too many things to finish.
Is the Black Flag Camp getting busy now? Of course not, but Shen Hao's burden has become heavier now, and the things in his hands have become complicated and heavy.
In Pang Ban's words: You are now at the fourth level of the Xuanhai Realm, and your cultivation level is higher than mine. Do you really want to wait three to five years to take my position? Hurry up, so that you can free up some time for me to have more free time to meditate, and don't bother me unless necessary.
So many things that should have been handled by the commanding officer's office were all directed to the Black Flag Camp office by Pang Ban. And Shen Hao still couldn't refuse.
There were many things, mainly divided into three categories, which took up a lot of Shen Hao's energy.
Grain rafter
One is the copper bar sent from the Sifang Governor's Yamen to report matters. The contents in it are also used for various purposes. It is an important channel for Shen Hao to familiarize himself with and understand the general situation of the Xuanqing Guards in various places, so he must do it himself and dare not neglect it. In particular, the affairs of Qianhu Offices in various places, including personnel, were the focus of his understanding, and it was also the aspect that he needed to slowly adjust next.
The second is the supply and handover of money and grain under the jurisdiction of Xuanqing Guards in various places. This is a very deep matter. Shen Hao also worked from the bottom of Xuanqing Guard, and he knew very well about money and food matters. There were many names and strange things in it, and he was the best at digging out problems. This must be dealt with carefully, but not too seriously. At least for now, he can't be too serious.
Third, actions to expand the number and distribution of monks within the Xuanqing Guard have been launched. Starting from Black Flag Camp, it gradually covers the entire local Xuanqing Guard, step by step increasing the overall number and cultivation level of monks in Xuanqing Guard. It even needs to be elevated at the level of small flags or even general flags. Even if you are employed, you can still work as an errand in the above two positions. This is also what Shen Hao is currently spending the most energy on.
This is just some official business. If you include the visits from various big shots who come to "reminisce" or "get to know" Shen Hao, it will be even more time-consuming.
Now who doesn't know that the next commander of Xuanqing Guard has been decided? Master Shen is now at the fourth level of Xuanhai Realm and will be the commander with the highest cultivation level in the history of Xuanqing Guard. His position is unshakable. If you don't take advantage of this opportunity to get acquainted with each other or make friends, won't you be left behind when Lord Shen officially takes over?
In fact, Pang Ban is already in a semi-retired state. Although people still go to the commanding yamen, they basically can't handle affairs anymore. Unless important matters require his signature, they just go to the commanding yamen of Black Flag Camp to see Shen Hao.
Some people say that Mr. Shen will officially take office within two years, but others say that it will be at least three to five years, and a few think that it will be within this year.
In fact, the news that Shen Hao is going to take the position has been widely spread since Shen Hao returned last year. At that time, some objections could often be heard. But now, all the voices of opposition have disappeared, and the opponents have basically fallen out of their original positions and have no chance to speak out.
This is due to internal clean-up and gradual adjustments in personnel. Those at the bottom who want to resist the personnel arrangements from above are undoubtedly trying to control the situation. If they get too excited, they will only end up hurting themselves. If you want to play the trick of "the minority obeys the majority" in Xuanqing Guard, you are thinking too much. Orders are the only outlet here.
What's more, now that the imperial court has opened an opening, the employment opening that was originally limited to Black Flag Camp has also expanded to the entire Xuanqing Guard. The number of monks that has troubled Xuanqing Guard for many years now has the opportunity to be fundamentally improved.
The increase in power will inevitably bring about the reshuffling of the previous powers. Everyone wants this opportunity, but whoever gets it in the end depends on Master Shen’s wishes.
It can be said that Shen Hao sorted out the entire Xuanqing Guard from the inside out, from bottom to top, and it was irresistible.
I walked into the Yamen squeaking through the snow on the road, and the officers who came and went bowed and saluted along the way.
As soon as we sat down in the public room, the adjutant came in and served hot tea while reporting: "Sir, Elder Li from Guishan Monastery has been waiting in the tea room for a long time and wants to see you. Do you think?"
"Elder Li? Li Shuyang?"
"Yes, sir, do you want to see me or do you think you are not free?"
Shen Hao waved his hand and said: "Li Shuyang is my teacher, how can I not show you the courtesy? Arrange the side hall, I will go there immediately."
