The reason why everyone's work efficiency is low is that the core officials take on everything, such as settling accounts, recording important matters, and uploading and issuing documents and decisions. These contents can be handled by lower-level officials.
Because the Ministry of Revenue is short of manpower, core officials have to take on all the trivial matters.
Now that everyone was very exhausted, Muchuan arranged for them all to rest, and used his personal connections to invite several imperial doctors who were close to him to go to their mansion to take care of them, especially to take good care of Mo Zhu.
First, the energy and body of the core officials are restored, and after manpower is dispatched from the personnel department later, the core officials can then direct and arrange for the lower-level officials to work together. This can increase work efficiency by nearly five times.
After Muchuan finished explaining this basic logic, the officials finally felt relieved. When they first heard Muchuan tell them to give them a holiday, they thought Muchuan didn't want to work anymore. Later, they couldn't help but feel sad after hearing his plan.
admire.
Now that the arrangements are in place, Muchuan begins the next step.
"Let's go, Feifan."
Ouyang Bufan was stunned for a moment: "Ah?
Muchuan-sama, where are we going?"
"Where else can we go? It must be to the Ministry of Civil Affairs."
After a while of burning incense, Muchuan and the others arrived at the official residence of the official department.
The Ministry of Personnel, one of the six departments of the Shangshu Province, is responsible for personnel appointments, official dispatch and other personnel work.
However, Muchuan and his wife were stopped by two guards just as they were about to enter the official residence.
One of the guards with short eyebrows recognized Muchuan and bowed in salute: "So it's Master Shangshu. What's the reason for coming to the Ministry of Civil Affairs?"
"Is the official minister here?
I'm here to find him."
"This... the Minister of Civil Affairs is not here. If Lord Mu wants to find Lord Hou, I'm afraid he will have to choose another day."
Muchuan's eyes were venomous, and he could tell that the short-browed guard was lying when he saw the way he hesitated.
It seems that the Minister of Civil Affairs does not want to see Muchuan.
Come to think of it, this official official minister is none other than Hou Junji!
The former Minister of the Ministry of Personnel retired and returned to his hometown, so Chen Guogonghou Junji filled the position and was responsible for selecting talents for the Tang Dynasty court.
Why the talent in the household department has been withering recently, with old people leaving and new people not coming in, is probably due to Hou Junji. After all, this guy and Muchuan have some hatred themselves, and they don't like each other.
If it weren't for the fact that the staff pressure of the Ministry of Revenue was too great, Muchuan would not have wanted to meet Hou Junji.
At this time, Muchuan looked at the short-browed guard and said, "Isn't the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel here?
Since they are not there, I will look for the two ministers from the Ministry of Personnel."
"The two ministers of the Ministry of Civil Affairs are not here either."
“So there’s always someone in the staff department, right?
When I go in and take a look, I'll look for whoever is there."
Muchuan said this and was about to step in, but two guards stopped him again.
The short-browed guard looked troubled: "Master Shangshu... you can't go in anyway."
"Haha, is it true that someone doesn't welcome me?
But the Ministry of Personnel is one of the six departments of the Shangshu Province, and it handles affairs impartially, so it has no right to refuse to see visitors."
"This..." The short-browed guard was obviously intimidated by Muchuan. In the final analysis, he was a soft-spoken person, so he could only say, "Let's do this, Master Muchuan, and let the little guy go in and pass the news."
"That's right, go and pass it on quickly."
Muchuan and Ouyang Bufan waited at the entrance of the mansion during the next tea time, but no one was seen after waiting for a long time.
Ouyang Bufan couldn't help but become suspicious: "Mr. Muchuan, are these people from the official department deliberately keeping us in the dark?"
"Who knows, just wait a little longer."
So the two of them waited for another stick of incense, but the short-browed guard did not come back after a stick of incense. Now Muchuan was sure that the people in the official department had deliberately left them out.
How arrogant! Because the officials had no way to refuse Muchuan's meeting, they resorted to this delaying tactic. It's really disgusting.
"Bufan, let's just break in!"
"good!"
The two of them were about to go in regardless of the obstruction. The person guarding the door was a big-eared guard.
When the big-eared guards saw Muchuan and the others coming in, they shouted in panic: "Wait a minute... Sir, please don't embarrass me. You have to wait for the communication before you can go in."
Muchuan doesn't have such patience anymore. It is estimated that waiting for another hour will not lead to results. In that case, what are you waiting for?
When the big-eared guard saw that Muchuan and the others ignored their dissuasion, he had no choice but to take action, raising his iron sword and pointing it at Muchuan and the others.
However, Muchuan is not so easy to bully. When the guard just raised the knife, Muchuan took the first step and grabbed the opponent's wrist. The weapon in the guard's hand fell to the ground, and then Muchuan picked it up with his foot.
Using the strength of the opponent's lower body, he threw the big-eared guard to the ground easily.
This fall caused the big-eared guard to feel pain in his body, wailed sadly, and could not stand up for a while.
Muchuan and the other two walked into the official residence of the official department in a swaggering manner.
I have to say that this official residence of the Ministry of Civil Affairs is really magnificent. The courtyard is filled with green trees and flowers, and there is a pond and rockery in the courtyard. The administrative palace is tall, glorious and beautiful, almost comparable to the royal palace.
When Ouyang Bufan saw this, he said sourly: "Mr. Muchuan, look at this official residence, it's really nice! Compared with theirs, our official residence of the Ministry of Revenue is just a mud hut!"
"Yeah..." Muchuan couldn't help but sigh.
You must know that among the six ministries, the household department is responsible for managing finances and should be the richest in theory, but in comparison, it seems not to be as good as the personnel department.
Muchuan secretly thought that after the treasury is full, he must ask the Zhongshu Province to draft a budget plan and build an official residence for the Ministry of Revenue!
It's just that this is not the time for Muchuan and his wife to enjoy the scenery. They came to the official residence because they had something to do!
Just as Muchuan and the two were about to move forward, a group of guards suddenly appeared, six in total, each of them tall and tall, with a strong back and a strong waist.
The leader was a thick-lipped guard, 1.9 meters tall, with pockmarks on his face. At this time, he bowed and saluted Muchuan and the two, and then said: "Two adults, officials from various departments in the Ministry of Civil Affairs are conducting
I'm afraid I can't receive you two at the office, so please leave this place."
So the officials want to close the door and thank guests?
Muchuan chuckled: "Let Chen Guogong come out. Even if you want to drive us away, you have to come out personally to drive us away. What does it mean to have someone send a message?"
The thick-lipped guard said: "Master Mu, the Minister of Civil Affairs is not in the official residence."
"Then let me enter the palace and take a look."
"You two adults can't go in. I hope you two adults won't embarrass me."
While speaking, the thick-lipped guard also glanced at the other five guards.
