It would be fine if Lu Bin was just an ordinary guard, but now that he is the captain of the guard, he has to learn to get along with others and reconcile with them.
In fact, Heishan is not good at observing words and expressions, but at least Heishan is better than Lu Bin.
As for Lu Bin's advantages, they are also very obvious. He is chivalrous, righteous, and willing to do good. Perhaps it is because of this characteristic that he has many "good brothers" around him.
In other words, people who like Lu Bin will like him very much, and people who hate him will also hate him very much.
"Lu Bin, you don't need to do exactly what Heishan did, but you must at least unite the cohesion and morale of the guards. Do you understand this?"
"Follow the teachings of the adults, and the little ones will learn from them."
While Muchuan and Lu Bin were talking, there was a burst of noise outside the wing, followed by a rapid knock on the door.
"Is Master Muchuan in there?
I am the official in charge of the Secretariat, Li Xiaohe, and I am here to inform you about something!"
Li Xiaohe?
Although there were many officials in the Ministry of Household Affairs, Muchuan had an impression of Li Xiaohe.
Li Xiaohe is short and thin, wearing a white-edged blue sparrow official robe. He is timid and always startled.
Now when he opened the door and took a look, he found that it was indeed Li Xiaohe. Muchuan smiled slightly: "Xiaohe, what's wrong with you?
You came to me in such a hurry, maybe something happened in the Ministry of Household Affairs?"
"Your Excellency, you are wise, you are wise, your weapons are as good as yours, it is true! Please come with me quickly!"
At the same time, a group of people were crowded at the threshold of the lobby of the official residence of the Ministry of Finance in Chang'an City! It was bustling with people and crowded, just like a vegetable market on the street!
The key is that the people gathered here are not hawkers or women in the market. The people gathered here are all high-ranking officials in the imperial court! For example, Gong Shoude, the Minister of Industry, Hong Yifan, the Minister of Punishment, and Zong Zheng of Jiuqing.
The officials were noisy and excited, and each claimed that they wanted to find Muchuan, the Minister of Household Affairs.
"Where did Lord Muchuan go?
Today should be Lord Shangshu’s business day, why can’t I see him?”
"I have something to do and want to find the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance. I want him to come out quickly. How can I make you wait for him?"
"Where have brothers Muchuan gone?
I also have something to talk to him about!"
Various officials asked questions like a barrage of questions, without any discipline at all, which gave the staff of the Ministry of Revenue a headache.
Unfortunately, Muchuan was not in the Hubu official residence at this time, and even Mo Zhu, the minister of Hubu, was not there either!
Ouyang Bufan had a huge headache because of this. As the second-in-command of the Ministry of Household Affairs, he just wanted to imitate Muchuan to pass the time leisurely and become a hands-off shopkeeper. Now it seems that these officials are in trouble, but Ouyang Bufan still
Can't escape!
At this moment, you can see Ouyang Bufan standing up and hurriedly waving his hands and shouting: "Masters, you are looking for Master Muchuan, right?
I'm really sorry. Master Muchuan is not here today, why don't you just invite him back?
Come see Master Muchuan next time!"
Ouyang Bufan tried to drive them back. It would be best if they could leave obediently, but that was not the case!
These people raised their fists and shouted loudly, saying that if Muchuan didn't come out, they would not go back. They didn't look like high-ranking officials of the imperial court, they were simply hooligans!
The various officials of the Ministry of Revenue have never seen such a scene. Although the Ministry of Revenue is the busiest among the six departments, officials usually come to look for them, but there are not so many as today! Nearly fifty officials came as soon as they arrived, and
Everyone has a good background, nearly half of them are high-ranking officials of fifth rank or above!
This also made the situation more difficult to control. If they were minor officials, Ouyang Bufan could just instruct the palace guards to expel them all. However, these officials in front of him were either at the same level as Ouyang Bufan or higher than him. He
Don’t dare to use force casually!
Just when Ouyang Bufan was at a loss what to do, a handsome figure walked out of the side hall of the official residence!
This person wears an agate black hat, a black cloud robe, a gold and jade waistband, and a handsome and straight figure. Isn't this person Muchuan?
When the officials who came to visit saw Muchuan, they were very excited. They all rushed in front of Muchuan like zombies rushing for food, and shouted eagerly.
"Lord Muchuan finally saw you. I am from the Imperial College! I came to you to discuss something!"
"I am Zong Zheng. Sir Muchuan is so polite. I also hope to have a good talk with you and have a happy gathering together."
"It's been a long time, brother Muchuan. Although there are a lot of people looking for you today, you should have a good chat with me first, right?"
When these officials saw Muchuan, they all started talking to themselves.
Muchuan could tell with his keen awareness that these people were here for the same thing, and they probably had something to ask of Muchuan!
"Hey, Bufan, what's going on?"
Muchuan looked at Ouyang Bufan who was hugging his thigh.
As soon as Muchuan appeared, Ouyang Bufan hugged him as if he had seen a savior, as if he was afraid that he would slip away.
After Muchuan asked the question, Ouyang Bufan just shook his head and said that he didn't know anything.
Muchuan: "I don't know how it's possible!"
"Sir, I really don't know!"
Ouyang Bufan made an innocent expression and said that he also asked the visiting officials what was going on, but none of them were willing to tell. They all said that they would only tell if they saw Muchuan.
Muchuan was stunned, why are these officials so mysterious?
Could it be that you have some shady matters to discuss with him?
After thinking about it, a flash of light flashed, and Muchuan seemed to have figured out what was going on!
"Everyone, are you here for salary?"
As a result, when Muchuan said this, nearly half a hundred officials could be seen looking frightened and trembling, as if Muchuan had mentioned something secretive.
It seems that Muchuan really got it right, otherwise they wouldn't have such expressions.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, you can understand that there are rumors in the imperial court that Muchuan abused his power and only raised the salaries of officials in the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Regarding this matter, some people wrote a letter to impeach Muchuan, and some were even jealous and even wanted to use this to get Muchuan to help raise his salary.
These people in front of them want Muchuan to help increase their salaries. After all, although the salaries of court officials are high, they are far inferior to those of wealthy businessmen who are engaged in business. Unless they are lining their pockets and accepting bribes, they will also be troubled by money.
ah.
After Muchuan understood the situation, he smiled and spoke in official terms.
"Everyone, everyone must have heard that all officials in the Ministry of Household Affairs have received a salary increase, right?
But this matter has little to do with me... This is all because the emperor is wise and sympathizes with the hard work of our officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs, so we are rewarded with this award!"
