Ouyang Bufan pushed them away repeatedly and shouted: "Hey, hey, you can just talk, can you please stop tugging on my clothes? My clothes are almost torn by you!"
After a lot of effort, Ouyang Bufan finally pushed everyone away.
From the words of these civil servants, Ouyang Bufan probably knew what happened. Wasn't it just that there was too much work to finish?
"I know, I know! Let me talk to Mo Zhu about this and see if we can reduce your workload."
When they heard that Ouyang Bufan could help, all the civil servants in the household department were filled with gratitude.
Ouyang Bufan quietly came to Mo Zhu: "I said Mo Zhu, this is not right for you. Let them work for two days and two nights. After all, they also need to rest. If they are exhausted, things will only become more troublesome...
"
While Ouyang Bufan was talking, Mo Zhu, who was working at his desk, raised his head. As a result, when he raised his head, Ouyang Bufan was so frightened that his soul almost flew away.
Mo Zhu's face is haggard, his eyes are covered with red threads, and there are thick dark circles in the outer eye sockets. He looks like a living dead who just ran out of the coffin!
Ouyang Bufan took a step back in shock and asked, "What did you do?
Why are you doing this!"
"Bufan, you're here...that's great, you can stay and help me too."
Mo Zhu grabbed Ouyang Bufan with two hands, just like a zombie jumping out to grab someone, which made Ouyang Bufan tremble with fear.
Later I found out that Mo Zhu himself was suffering even more. Others had not slept for two days and two nights, but he had not slept for three days and three nights. It is a miracle that he can still hold on until now!
"Mo Zhu, you can't do this, you have to rest for a while...otherwise your body will be damaged!"
"It's not that we don't have any rest at all. They and I will stay for an hour or two to take a nap, but there is too much work..." Mo Zhu spoke weakly and was dying. He felt as if he might die suddenly in the middle of speaking.
Fall down.
Later, after looking at Mo Zhu's work, I realized that the workload is really much.
The imperial court established the overall administrative system with the "three provinces and six ministries" system. Among the "six ministries", the Ministry of Household Affairs was the busiest.
The Household Department is in charge of the world's population, land, taxation, etc. In short, all economic-related work is under the jurisdiction of the Household Department.
For this reason, the Ministry of Household Affairs has always been very busy, especially after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Tang Dynasty was in a stage of rapid economic development.
However, during this busy time, Muchuan, the Minister of Revenue, carried out a series of economic reforms, such as lowering taxes, opening up treaty ports and trade routes, establishing handicrafts and service industries, and establishing government-run royal workshops. These measures made
The workload of the Accounts Department has quadrupled!
If the household department before Muchuan took office, it could still handle it with the existing staff of the household department, but it can't be done now! The workload has quadrupled, but the manpower has not increased!
In this regard, Mo Zhuke proposed to Muchuan many times about increasing manpower, but it was obvious that Muchuan did not take it to heart. Instead, he kept saying that personnel appointments were under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Personnel and that he had to talk to someone from the Ministry of Personnel.
Later, Mo Zhu approached the Ministry of Personnel, and the Ministry of Personnel even adopted a delaying approach, saying that no officials were willing to be transferred to the Ministry of Household Affairs and had to wait until an official applied.
For this reason, the entire Ministry of Household Affairs is now stuck in an endless cycle. The increasing workload has caused great mental pressure on the officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs. Officials who cannot bear the pressure have to be transferred or resign. As a result, the manpower is even scarcer and the work pressure is even greater.
Now that Mo Zhu had revealed Ming Hubu's difficulties with all his might, Ouyang Bufan was shocked: "So that's how it is! Really, Mo Zhu, why didn't you tell me earlier!"
"It doesn't matter... I can still find a way to solve it now. I believe that with Master Muchuan's ability, I can recruit talented people for the Ministry of Household Affairs."
"No, no, no! You have to ask this question early, because Lord Muchuan has already gone on a long journey and won't be back for half a month!"
"What!"
Mo Zhu, who was in low spirits, was so frightened that he sat up. Muchuan actually left?
If Muchuan leaves, the staffing problem in the Ministry of Revenue will not be solved for a long time.
Forget about the manpower problem, many work decisions of the Ministry of Revenue also need to be reviewed by Muchuan, especially the issuance of treasury bonds and related uses. Those matters must be handled by Muchuan personally!
"Sir Muchuan, it's true, why did Hao Duanchuan leave?
What to do with the work of the household department?
At least you have to tell me before leaving!"
Mo Zhu was so distraught that he felt that the whole sky was about to collapse.
Ouyang Bufan said awkwardly: "Actually...I came here this time to deliver a message. Lord Muchuan told me something before leaving."
"Password?"
"yes."
Ouyang Bufan imitated Muchuan's tone and said, "After Mr. Muchuan left, Mo Zhu was the biggest, and all matters concerning the household department were handed over to Shangshu Youcheng."
After hearing this, Mo Zhu was about to cry. Muchuan wanted to be a hands-off shopkeeper again! Isn't this the same as usual?
Anyway, Muchuan is usually nowhere to be seen all day long, and all matters are usually handled by Mo Zhu himself.
No! Mo Zhu secretly thought, if this continues, he will definitely go crazy!
"Bufan, Lord Muchuan hasn't gone far yet, has he?"
Mo Zhu asked.
"She shouldn't have gone far..."
Before Muchuan left Chang'an City, he stopped by Ouyang Bufan's mansion, which was only a stick of incense ago.
After receiving the message from Muchuan, Ouyang Bufan came to the mansion to help spread the message.
Now that he knew that Muchuan had not gone far, Mo Zhu came up with a plan, and then whispered next to Ouyang Bufan: "I need your help, and it has to be like this..."
The next morning, the sun shines warmly on everything.
To the northeast of Gyeonggi Province, on Guandao, there is an inn, where Muchuan and Temujin Dali took up residence.
At this time, Muchuan himself put on a merchant's round-patterned attire, sat on a chair and enjoyed the steamed buns and tea prepared by the inn. While eating, he couldn't help but complain: "It tastes so ordinary."
No wonder Muchuan complained so much. The steamed buns were hard and dry. If you didn't drink water, it would feel like eating mud.
That’s why we should praise the level of modern industry. Don’t look at it as just an ordinary steamed bun. If dough is kneaded, yeast fermented, and flavors are added in modern times, even an ordinary steamed bun can become soft, fragrant and delicious.
"Hey, modern food is still delicious..."
While Muchuan was sighing, Temujin ran over from afar and shouted, "Sir, sir! We have found out the news."
"Dali, you are serious. Didn't I tell you not to call me "Sir" when you go out...Call me Mr. Mu."
