When Ye Zhiqiu talked about this, the joy on his face was beyond words.
"Don't worry, my sister and the others are real people. They have been studying since they came back yesterday, and they studied very late at night! Manager Chen of your house found two shops, both of which are at the entrance to the downtown area. They are in good locations."
When Ye Zhiqiu said this, hesitation appeared on his face again.
"What? But I don't have enough money? I'll just lend it to you first."
Gu Chengyu thought Ye Zhiqiu was worried about money. The shop was in critical condition, so Gu Chengyu naturally had to help.
"No, I still have some savings. If I don't have enough, I won't be polite to you. I'm just hesitating whether to rent a small one or a big one. The location of the big one is better than the small one. It's just at the intersection of a street in the south. There are also
There is a small restaurant. The small one is not bad. There is a rouge shop next to it, but it is a little further in."
Gu Chengyu rolled his eyes, "Do you still need to consider this? Of course it's a big rental. Don't worry! You won't lose money in this business."
Ye Zhiqiu felt very embarrassed when he saw that Gu Chengyu had immediately figured out the real reason for his hesitation.
"Open the shop soon, and then I will find colleagues to support you."
The price of Chuan Chuan Incense is relatively affordable, so it should be loved by the people.
The two discussed the matter of the shop again, and the carriage finally stopped at the gate of the palace.
"Send people to deliver all the gifts brought from Jingyuan Mansion to each house according to the list I made last night." Gu Chengyu ordered to Ming Yan.
Not to mention the teachers and senior brothers, but also the colleagues and superiors he met during this period, he also prepared a gift.
This is a common practice in official circles, and every official who returns to his hometown will do this.
Therefore, when Gu Chengyu came back, these gifts took up half of the luggage space.
After Gu Chengyu entered the Hanlin Academy, he separated from Ye Zhiqiu. He had to go to cancel his leave first. At this moment, I don't know if Mr. Zhang has come to answer the question.
"I pay my respects to Mr. Gu! Did you return to the capital yesterday?"
Qian Kaifeng had just arrived at the Hanlin Academy, and when he saw Gu Chengyu, he showed an expression of joy.
"Yes! I came back yesterday. I wonder if Mr. Zhang is here?" Gu Chengyu glanced at the window and did not find Mr. Zhang.
"Master Zhang has been here for a while. I will go and inform you."
After saying that, Qian Jianqian bowed and walked towards the house.
Gu Chengyu didn't wait long when he heard Zhang Hai calling in.
As soon as he entered the house, he found Zhang Hai climbing on the ladder, seemingly looking for some books.
There are many books in Zhang Hai's house, some of which he uses frequently in daily life, and some of which should be historical books that need to be collated.
"I'm here to pay my respects to Mr. Zhang!"
"You're back? It's been more than two months since you returned home this time, right?" Zhang Hai took out one of the books and slowly walked down the ladder.
"My lord, it will take a total of two months and three days!" The journey back was delayed for a day or two, so it exceeded Gu Chengyu's expectations.
"Well! The compilation of the Huidian has already begun. I saw that you have a thorough understanding of the criminal law, so you should start by compiling the separate volumes of the Criminal Department!"
Zhang Hai was very direct. As soon as Gu Chengyu entered the room, he didn't say a few words and directly assigned tasks.
If you look at the peaceful era before taking care of Chengyu in his previous life, he was simply a workaholic.
Department of Punishment? Gu Chengyu thought for a moment, the contents of the Department of Punishment were not too much.
He had read through the laws of the Dayan Dynasty before, and felt that this job was quite easy. But this was compiling the code, and there was no room for mistakes.
Even if someone will correct it later, if you find your mistakes after the correction, you will inevitably be punished. In more serious cases, you will definitely be punished.
When the time comes, things like fines and salaries will be small, but losing face will be a big deal.
"What? Do you have any objections?" Zhang Hai didn't hear Gu Chengyu's reply, so he moved his eyes from the book to Gu Chengyu's face.
"My lord, I have no objections to this!" Gu Chengyu replied quickly.
He didn't hear Zhang Hai say the specific completion time, and Gu Chengyu didn't ask, isn't this what he wanted?
If you set a time limit for yourself, it will definitely not be long. Why don’t you forget to eat and sleep?
Gu Chengyu was thinking that this would make it easier. Who would have thought that Zhang Hai's next sentence would shatter Gu Chengyu's dream.
Zhang Hai nodded and expressed that he was very satisfied with Gu Chengyu's respectful attitude.
"The content of the Huidian is relatively complicated. It is based on the official positions of the six departments, and is supplemented by other yamen. It describes the responsibilities of each yamen, and some even give examples. You should move quickly. When you have compiled the Ministry of Punishments, the Ministry of Rites
You also need to help."
Gu Chengyu wailed in his heart. It wasn't that he was lazy, but that there was too much information to look up for the Huidian.
If you are not careful, you will make a mistake, and you will have to take responsibility for it. For things like this, it is natural to be less involved to avoid trouble later.
If others were reminded of what Gu Chengyu was thinking, they would definitely want to beat him to death.
What an honor it is to participate in the compilation of the ceremony. Many people cannot even imagine it. How can ordinary people participate in it?
Those who can participate will be counted as meritorious officials and will be recorded in the annals of history.
"Yes! Sir!"
Gu Chengyu didn't dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction with what Shangfeng told him.
"Well! You go down!"
Zhang Hai did not set a time limit. Even though Gu Chengyu was very capable, he could not put all the burden on Gu Chengyu.
After all, this is a matter for the entire Hanlin Academy, and it would be bad if other officials develop a lazy temperament.
Besides, what the Hanlin Academy wants is for a hundred flowers to bloom, and Gu Chengyu cannot be allowed to dominate alone. Otherwise, wouldn’t it mean that the other officials of the Hanlin Academy are too incompetent?
Gu Chengyu took the errands and returned to his office. As soon as he stepped into the room, he heard Qiu Yifan, who was working in the same room, greeting him.
"Master Gu, did you come back from your ancestral land yesterday?" Qiu Yifan put down the pen in his hand and greeted him with a smile.
"Yes! I arrived yesterday evening." Gu Chengyu also smiled back.
The two exchanged pleasantries for a few words, and Gu Chengyu sat on his seat and began to think about the chapters of the ceremony.
Qiu Yifan glanced at Gu Chengyu, his eyes twinkling, "Mr. Gu just came back, and Master Zhang assigned you a job?"
Gu Chengyu smiled. In fact, when he came in just now, he saw Qiu Yifan writing furiously.
Qiu Yifan was a scholar at the Hanlin Academy, so it goes without saying that he must have had a share in compiling the canons.
"Mr. Qiu, did you also receive the task of compiling the ceremony?" Gu Chengyu asked rhetorically without answering, and then casually spread out the paper.
"Exactly! What I am compiling now is about the Ministry of Rites. I wonder which yamen Mr. Gu has taken charge of?"
Gu Chengyu began to list out a detailed preface on the paper. He had to make a small outline before he could start compiling the detailed content.
"It's from the Ministry of Justice!"
While Gu Chengyu was writing, Qiu Yifan stood up and walked to Gu Chengyu's side.
When he saw Gu Chengyu starting to list the first volume, he was slightly surprised.
"Are you starting now? Have you read through the law and other related books and histories, and can you list them without reading a book?"
