Sitting in front of a pile of bamboo slips, Hong Min was not agitated.

Whether as an official in the Ministry of Personnel or as a chief official.

It is very common to look through various documents and materials regularly, because many things can only be recorded in this way.

After opening it, I saw the content above.

Sure enough, Hong Min knew that his guess was not wrong.

Each of these is the file information of an official.

Hong Min was very patient, and it was not until lunch that Li Bing, the doctor of the Ministry of Personnel Affairs, returned in a hurry.

Li Bing glanced at Hong Min who was sitting there, flipping through the information carefully, but he didn't feel any discomfort in his heart.

Besides, what if it makes you unhappy?

This is a big boss who is already standing in the sky.

After Li Bing introduced him, he took Hong Min with him to have lunch.

People have two meals a day, but as a department directly under the imperial court, two meals a day is obviously not acceptable.

It's not that just because you are an official, you have to do something different.

But these officials often come to work at dawn and don't get off work until sunset. Overtime and other such things are commonplace.

Two meals a day is absolutely unbearable for these people.

I have to say that the food in the official department is quite good.

A bowl of porridge, half of which is rice, has a slight salty taste, and two pieces of meat are added.

The meat is of course bacon, and is cooked directly with the porridge. In this way, the porridge will contain a little oil and water, which is relatively more resistant to hunger.

There is one thing that is not very satisfying. You can eat whatever you want, but meat is only available in the first bowl, and the subsequent ones are just porridge without meat.

"His Majesty requested the Ministry of Personnel to start reforming the appointment and dismissal of officials in different places. You are experienced in this area, so His Majesty decided to transfer you to the Ministry of Personnel to participate in this matter. You don't have to worry about other matters in the Ministry of Personnel on weekdays.

Just make arrangements for the appointment and dismissal of officials from other places, and provide as much guidance as possible."

"In addition, His Majesty decided to start with Sanchuan County first, and requested that the official deployment of Sanchuan County be completed before the end of summer, and the work for Guanzhong, Hanoi, Hedong, Yingchuan, and Nanyang counties be completed by the end of the year.

Within the next few days, we have to complete the deployment of all counties in the country, so the burden on your shoulders is not light." Li Bing put down the bowl and began to say.

"Mr. Zhong, I just have some experience in Pingyin County. I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate when the Ministry of Civil Affairs suddenly takes charge of such a large place, right?" Hong Min said worriedly.

Even if you ask him to take charge of a county, he still thinks he can give it a try.

But being given so much power, Hong Min still feels like his head is buzzing and he's not used to it, if nothing else.

I feel like these are fake.

"Haha..." Li Bing suddenly laughed. At this moment, he suddenly felt that this Hong Min seemed to be quite cute.

However, he really dared to think about such a big matter, and the emperor was not a fool. How could he let an official from the sixth rank come forward?

He immediately explained: "You and I are just running errands. Besides, this kind of thing is not something you and I can decide. There are so many ghosts and monsters out there. How could Your Majesty let you and me go out to attract hatred at will? This matter is

Your Majesty will come forward in person, with Zhang Shangshu as deputy, and you and I will only be responsible for providing the plan."

"Oh, that's it!" Hong Min breathed a sigh of relief. In this case, although the pressure would be greater, it could be explained away.

This is the correct way to open it.

Although it seems that he is just an errand boy now, this is what he should do most at this stage, and it is also the job that best suits his status.

"There is a meeting to be attended tomorrow afternoon, and His Majesty will also be attending the meeting. Anyway, there are His Majesty, the Minister, the doctor of the Fourth Ministry, and you, a total of seven people. They said that some kind of temporary yamen will be formed to take charge of this matter. What are you doing most today?

Think about this a lot, don't be unprepared tomorrow." Li Bing then reminded.

Even though there are only seven people in a new department, for Hong Min, all six of them are his superiors, and he is the only real soldier and the only one doing errands.

However, the officialdom was dangerous, and Hong Min was personally appointed by the emperor. Even if he was of a low rank, Li Bing did not dare to regard him as a nobody, the kind of person who could be bullied at will.

We don't even dare to hide anything from him and let him make a fool of himself at tomorrow's meeting without any preparation.

In that case, it would not be Hong Min who would be unlucky in the end, but himself.

"Thank you, doctor, for reminding me!" Hong Min quickly expressed his thanks.

"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing. In the next two years, there will be basically no time to rest. I'm afraid it will be difficult to even take a break. I heard that your family is still in Pingyin. You probably don't have any.

It's time to pick them up. The ministry has temporarily prepared a place for you to stay. You'd better write a letter and see when someone passes by and send it to them. Let them make arrangements to send your family members here.

"Li Bing said.

"Okay..." Hong Min nodded.

Although Luoyang is not far from Pingyin, it only takes half a day if you walk faster.

But looking at it now, I'm afraid I really can't spare the time.

Fortunately, there are many people traveling between Pingyin and Luoyang, and there are also many people passing by from the south and the north.

There are several teams almost every day.

So, after returning to the Department of Personnel, Hong Min wrote a letter directly, asked the officials of the Department of Personnel to help find out when someone passed by Pingyin, and handed the letter to him.

Hong Min spent the whole afternoon looking at the information.

By the time sunset was approaching and I was about to get off work, there were still many things I hadn’t finished reading.

Seeing his colleagues working overtime, Hong Min was embarrassed to leave early.

Then the official department sent him his new token.

With this token, he is qualified to enter and exit the palace.

The main reason is that the current office of the Eight Departments is in the palace. Although it is considered an outer palace and has a palace wall with the real palace, people outside do not know it.

After working overtime for about an hour, the staff gradually began to leave after get off work.

Hong Min also got off work.

When he was in Pingyin County, he was tired from walking, but here he was tired from sitting.

The courtyard arranged by the Ministry of Personnel has not yet been handed over to him, so today Hong Min still has to go back to the official inn to stay.

In fact, he planned to live here before his wife and children came to Luoyang.

Even if a yard is allocated, I am too lazy to clean it up when I get home, and even more lazy to cook.

"Hong Min, where have you been today?" Seeing Hong Min return, everyone in the inn suddenly burst out with enthusiasm, and quickly pulled Hong Min to sit down and rest, greeting him with smiles on their faces.

"Eh? Changed the token?" Someone with a keen eye noticed that the token hanging on Hong Min's waist was different.

The front was made of wood, and although it is still made of wood now, the material and shape are different.

The most important thing is that the rope stringing the tokens has been replaced by a red rope.

This is the thing that shocked everyone the most. Red is the national color of Han. The Han flag, the emperor's clothes, and the symbol of Chehou are all dominated by red.

In addition, there are censors, etc. These people can also wear red, but the conditions are more stringent and the requirements are relatively high. It does not mean that you can go out and wander around in a red robe if you are qualified.

And this symbol is the rope with the tokens strung on it.

"Congratulations to Brother Hong for entering the Ministry of Personnel..." Another sharp-eyed person saw the words "Department of the Ministry of Personnel" on Hong Min's token.

Hong Min was the chief official before he came here, so when he joined the official department, it was natural that he could not just be an envoy or something like that, but he had to be in charge no matter what.

And none of them can afford it.

Even if you are an ordinary civil servant, they don't dare to mess with you. If they give you a wound at a critical moment, you should be going to a good place, but in the end you will be directly sent to a wilderness area and cry on your own.

"Your Majesty, Xiong Meng, I hope Brother Hong will take care of you!" The county magistrate who came up to ask questions yesterday was still talking cordially.

I regretted it so much that I should have thought of this a long time ago.

Hong Min was brought here by the Forbidden Army, and he was taken away by the Forbidden Army. How could he be along the way?

as expected……

The other officials had not seen it, but Xiong Meng had seen it before. Although he was just a chief official, he looked at it very seriously. The other party's token was not strung with a red rope.

In other words, Hong Min may have some connection with the emperor, at least to the extent that the emperor knows about him.

You're a real boss, if you can build a good relationship, it will be of great help to your future.
