Chapter 579 It’s the end of the year and the Sixth Department is very busy
On the first day back to Beijing, there was snow, but not too much.
However, as the weather turned around, the temperature dropped a lot.
In this kind of weather, many people are too lazy to go out.
Xiao Nianzhi was unwilling to move, but she had already returned to the capital.
When I came back yesterday, I could use the excuse that I was tired and not report to work for the time being.
However, if I don't go today, I will be a bit ignorant.
Therefore, Xiao Nianzhi packed up early in the morning and went to the morning court.
Um……
This familiar one, eight in the morning in winter!
No, no, no, it's even scarier than early morning.
Sitting in a carriage, walking on the cold winter streets, listening to the howling north wind outside, Xiao Nianzhi thought that she probably understood the resentment of college students and office workers in modern times who go to school as early as eight in the morning in winter.
Is it okay to blame someone for this matter?
Her benefits were so good that she was trembling all the way and wanted to go home and lie down!
However, fortunately, I have moved now, to the inner city, so the distance is not too far.
So, holding the hand stove, I finally arrived, trembling all the way.
However, reaching it is not the end.
After arriving, they still need to line up and punch in, waiting for His Majesty to be ready, and then they can enter one by one.
The good news is that at Xiao Nianzhi's level, he can barely stay at the tail end of the inner hall without having to be exposed to the cold wind outside.
This made Xiao Nianzhi feel a little less resentful.
When I think about my welfare benefits, I feel that I am not incapable of persevering.
Xiao Nianzhi was far away from what he said in the morning, so he actually didn't hear it very clearly.
From time to time, I heard the officials in front of me discussing in low voices. I guess it was coming from the front, and they said a few words casually.
Xiao Nianzhi hugged the hand stove tightly, listened to the movement, and roughly summarized it.
One is the tax issue after the autumn harvest. As the year is approaching, it’s time to summarize statistics on many things.
Anyway, it's the end of the year and the household department is very busy.
The official department will also be very busy during the New Year.
Because of the war, the Ministry of War is also very busy this year.
In addition, due to issues such as the promotion of agricultural tools, the Ministry of Industry and the Agricultural Supervisor, as well as Shanglinyuan, are also very busy.
It may also be because the New Year is approaching, so summaries of cases from various places are also submitted to the capital, so the Ministry of Punishment is also busy.
Everyone is busy, how can the Etiquette Department be idle?
Moreover, the Ministry of Rites is responsible for all kinds of sacrificial rituals at the end of the year.
…
Anyway, the Chinese New Year is coming soon and the Sixth Department is very busy.
Xiao Nianzhi is now also a member of the Ministry of Industry, so he will probably be busy after he comes back, right?
Xiao Nianzhi thought endlessly, but the good news is...
The war in the southwest has stabilized for the time being.
But the game in the northwest is booming now.
After all, winter has come, and the countries on the northwest border are having a hard time, so they want to plunder some resources from the Central Plains and go back to spend the winter.
If we can capture a few cities and come to Maodong in the city, the life may be even more pleasant.
However, General Guo is here, and ordinary people really can't defeat him.
The war in the northwest is intense, and from time to time there are reports of people being injured.
As Xiao Nianzhi listened, his heart was still twitching, and he was not sure what was happening to General Guo and Guo Sixue.
We said goodbye last year and the other party didn't come back for the New Year, which was really worrying.
Because General Guo was strict in managing the army, Xiao Nianzhi often would not write a letter to Guo Sixue until two or three months.
This letter still needs to go through several rounds of review before it can be delivered to Guo Sixue.
It would be even more troublesome for the other party to reply to you.
Even though Guo Sixue is the biological daughter of General Guo.
But there are no fathers and sons in the army, and military discipline is everything.
Therefore, her reply had to be reviewed at all levels. In fact, it didn't say much, just some daily routine.
The problem is, even so, Guo Sixue usually only responds to letters every three or four months.
At this time, the last communication between the two of them was half a year ago when he was still in the capital.
Thinking of this, Xiao Nianzhi let out another silent sigh.
However, there is not no good news at the border.
For example...
Maybe it was because Gao Guo and Gua Guo were under attack in the southwest and northwest, so they felt that they could do it again. Gua Guo was always provocative and didn't care at all. They wanted to attack them directly.
But Gao Guo's attitude has always been relatively ambiguous.
If you are strong, he will make friends with you, and there is no need to show anything, just an attitude.
Then just pretend that we all have a good relationship, and I won't be too clumsy.
But, if you encounter difficulties and get into trouble, and you can't control it in your own backyard, then Gao Guo's attitude will change again.
At first, he was just cautiously testing.
However, seeing the flowers blooming in the northwest and southwest, Gao Guo stopped pretending and directly followed Gua Guo to provoke!
The two countries have geographical advantages, but they are not actually easy to fight.
Let's take the route of land warfare. In winter, this place is not very easy to conquer.
Water battle...
Xiao Nianzhi is also not sure how far the warships on Zhendongwei side have been repaired.
Is there ice on the sea?
However, what came from Zhendongwei was all good news.
The latest news came in early October, saying that Governor Zhao was so disturbed that he had gone to war with Gao and Gua.
One versus two, it’s you as expected, Mr. Zhao!
The courtiers are already convinced!
But I dare not say it.
Not to mention, that general is not easy to mess with.
He only said that his elder brother and younger brother are still in the capital.
My brother is famous for being the most powerful talker in the capital. He has great power in his hands and can speak well with his mouth.
If you dare to criticize someone else's younger brother, they will dare to stand up and confront you.
Come on, let’s squirt at each other, see who’s the loudest!
The court official said: It can't be compared, it can't be compared.
As for the younger brother?
Zhao Shangshu seems to be amiable and easy to get along with, but the officials who have actually worked with him in the same dynasty are like a mirror in their hearts.
Is this being friendly and easy to get along with?
This damn smiling tiger!
The problem is, you don’t even know when he stabs you with a smile!
If we say that the uncle of the Zhao family is the kind of representative from the underworld who will do whatever he refuses to do, we will do it head-on.
Well, Mr. Zhao is the kind of person who won't say anything if you don't agree with me, but I will turn around and give you a knife.
Moreover, the stability of the southeastern coast is indeed beneficial to the stability of the Shanxi border.
So, let's fight if we start fighting.
Even if it doesn't work, the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War will still have a headache.
What does it have to do with them?
Why!
In fact, it is also closed.
The official kiln has recently produced some patterned glass. Not to mention the ladies and girls at home, even rough old men like him can't turn their eyes away from them and don't want to let go.
Should I say it or not, when it comes to your ability to collect money, it has to be you, Your Majesty!
The question is, won’t they pay for it?
No, no, no, put that glass away for me. I'll go home and get the money right now.
