Chapter 0281 The government office is full of clubs?
"I will bring back the main volume in the Sansi Yamen for you to check. You don't need to worry about this matter. You just have to do your work."
Kou Ji pointed to the outside of the main hall and said in a deep voice: "Now, go back to your office immediately and clean out the things in your office."
The officials and minor officials sighed and left the main hall one by one and rushed to the public rooms.
Less than a quarter of an hour.
Kou Ji's outrageous demands in the Ministry of Personnel had begun to spread among the six departments, and then spread to other yamen.
In this regard, the officials did not think there was any problem.
Over the years, among the officials who have entered the six ministries, there has never been a shortage of people like Kou Ji who want to do things.
But in the end, most of them were kicked out of the six departments, or were framed and dismissed from office.
Officials from the Sixth Ministry have long been accustomed to this kind of thing.
Kou Ji's background was strong enough, and he was not afraid of being kicked out of the Sixth Department, nor was he afraid of being framed, so the unlucky ones were the group of officials who followed him.
Although the officials in the Ministry of Civil Affairs were unlucky, no one stood up for them.
Instead, everyone hid in the dark and gloated at the joke.
Kou Ji didn't care about this.
After he ordered his subordinate officers to clean up the public house, he rushed to the public house where the files were stored.
Looking at the broken walls and tiles that were worse than those of poor people, Kou Ji's mouth twitched.
Kou Ji glared at the minor officials following him and asked, "Doesn't the imperial court grant money to the six departments to repair public buildings every year? Where does the money go?"
The clerk said with a bitter face: "Shilang Kou, don't ask the villain. The money is definitely not taken by the villain, and the villain is not qualified to take the money."
Hearing this, Kou Ji didn't need to ask any more questions. It was obvious that the money had been embezzled.
Whoever is greedy, Kou Ji doesn't want to investigate now, because it's not time to investigate yet.
Kou Ji glared at the junior official, left the official department, and went straight to the household department. After receiving the documents from the household department for the reconstruction of the official's public house, he went to the third division and received the money for the reconstruction of the official's public house.
Then he went to the general as a prisoner, mobilized a group of craftsmen, dispatched a group of civilians, entered the official department, and began to rebuild public houses.
During this process, no one made things difficult for Kou Ji.
The next day.
After Kou Ji and other officials from the Ministry of Personnel vacated the public house, he took them to the courtyard of Yuanti Xingsi and moved all the files inside to the Ministry of Personnel.
The next few days.
Kou Ji sat in the Ministry of Personnel, watching the officials sorting out the files.
After they had sorted out the files, Kou Ji went to the Third Division again, retrieved the main files of all the files, and asked his subordinates to copy them.
Due to the huge number of files, it would be impossible to complete the statistics in seven days.
Kou Ji granted them another seven days of grace.
After fourteen days of suffering.
The subordinate officials and petty officials finally compiled a complete set of detailed files on the officials in office during the Song Dynasty.
During this period, some people couldn't stand it any longer.
Thanks to his connections, he sent generous gifts to the palace and asked Wang Qinruo to go to the Ministry of Personnel to make a trip to Kou Ji.
But when Wang Qinruo arrived at the Ministry of Personnel, he saw Kou Ji sitting on a chair staring at him with a half-smiling smile. His heart skipped a beat. Knowing that this little evil star was untouchable, he praised a few words of praise for the officials in the Ministry of Personnel who had done well recently.
Then he fled from the official department.
He secretly sent someone to investigate the matter where he fell down for no reason.
Many clues showed that this matter was related to Kou Ji, but he failed to find any evidence to impeach Kou Ji.
The little evil star would be fine if he didn't take action, but if he did, he would be dead. Wang Qinruo was afraid.
He still wants to live a few more years.
Even Wang Qinruo, the chief official of the Ministry of Personnel, avoided Kou Ji.
The officials and subordinates also accepted their fate.
They worked hard for fourteen days and compiled detailed files on the officials in office in the Song Dynasty.
After all the files were sorted out, some of the officials and subordinates burst into tears with excitement.
In front of them, Kou Ji wrote a letter asking for merit and threw it to the inner court. The inner court quickly responded and commended each of these officials.
Only then did the subordinate officials realize the benefits of following a superior officer like Kou Ji who had a backer.
That night, Kou Ji spent his own money to take them to the best restaurant in Bianjing City for a feast.
However, they didn't know that the meal Kou Ji invited was not delicious.
Just when they thought they could relax a bit.
Kou Ji began to ask them to clean up the achievements and reputation of the officials in the Song Dynasty after they entered the officialdom.
This workload is far greater than before.
The subordinate officials once again lowered their heads and began a new round of suffering.
During this period.
Almost all civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty ridiculed and ridiculed their subordinates.
When they were on their way to work, they would ride in carriages, carry wine bottles, drink and sing, and pass by the subordinate officials in a cool and unrestrained way.
After they left their jobs, they went to the official department in groups and invited the subordinate officials of the official department to go out and play.
In their mouths, Bianjing City, which used to be ordinary in the past, was suddenly exaggerated by them.
It seems that after leaving the public housing, they can take a dip in the paradise on earth.
The subordinate officials were tortured to the point of collapse.
They asked people to seal the doors of the official department and stop seeing those annoying people.
However, the gate of the official department was sealed, but it could not stop everyone.
For example, someone whose status was high enough to move around in the Song Dynasty.
This person was so arrogant that he had the door of the official department knocked open.
Then he put his hands behind his back even more arrogantly and walked into the official department with his head held high.
Not only did the officials dare not stop me, but they also had to ask people with a smile on their faces whether they were hurt when they knocked on the door just now.
Kou Ji was running errands in the main hall. Hearing that barbarians had broken into the official department, he hurried to check.
After seeing the person who knocked on the door, he sighed deeply, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, Kou Ji, see the official family."
Zhao Zhen nodded as if he were a young adult and said to Kou Ji: "I came to your official office to look around... You have no objection, right?"
Kou Ji rolled his eyes.
What objection could I have?
The imperial court is run by your family, so you can do whatever you want.
"please!"
Kou Ji invited Zhao Zhen into the main hall of the official office.
After Zhao Zhen sat down, Kou Ji stood aside with a bow.
When Zhao Zhen saw that there was only Kou Ji, a personal attendant, whom he had met before, he waved his hands carelessly and said: "When you and I are together, don't stick to these common etiquette."
Kou Ji rolled his eyes again.
I don't want to either.
Tell that bitch Chen Lin to get lost!
He was standing behind me, how dare I stand up straight.
The last time I patted your butt, that bitch Chen Lin pinched the soft flesh of my waist and it hurt for seven days.
Seeing that Kou Ji was unmoved, Zhao Zhen saw Chen Lin standing not far behind Kou Ji. He thought for a moment, covered his mouth and snickered, then waved to Chen Lin and said: "You go down first..."
"
Chen Lin bowed and exited the main hall of the official office.
Kou Ji then straightened up and said helplessly: "Why do you have to take such a dead eunuch with you wherever you go?"
Zhao Zhen laughed in a low voice: "He insists on following me, and I can't stop him."
Kou Ji glanced out the door and curled his lips and said, "Is this dead eunuch going to die of old age soon? Can't you do a good job and let him out of the palace, give him a sum of money, and let him return to his hometown for retirement?"
Zhao Zhen was stunned for a moment, and said in astonishment: "Chen Banban is ninety-nine years old this year, and he is still not old."
The corner of Kou Ji's mouth twitched and he said in disbelief: "Chen Lin, that dead eunuch is only forty-nine?"
Zhao Zhen nodded seriously, fearing that Kou Ji wouldn't believe it, so he also gave evidence, "His household registration file is stored in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. If you don't believe it, I can have someone bring it to you later."
Kou Ji waved his hand and said, "That's not necessary. I just didn't expect this dead eunuch to be so young."
Kou Ji walked over to Zhao Zhen and sat down, asking, "What are you doing here because you have nothing to do?"
Zhao Zhen rubbed his head, "I was a little dizzy due to the noise from the civil and military officials in the court. I heard that you have a group of sticks locked up here, so I came over to take a look and see what the sticks look like."
"wooden club?"
Kou Ji looked confused.
Zhao Zhen lowered the hand that was rubbing his head and said seriously: "Some officials in the court were talking about the fact that you have a group of stick-sticks who only stare at files in a daze..."
The corner of Kou Ji's mouth twitched and he said: "They are harming our officials in the Ministry of Civil Affairs. They are living in a mediocre position, and they can't stand the advancement of others. After I clean up all the files in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, they will have something to look at."
Zhao Zhen asked doubtfully: "What do you mean by this?"
Kou Ji leaned back on his seat and said quietly: "What else can it mean? It means that those officials do nothing and don't see others doing anything, so they go out to spread rumors."
Zhao Zhen frowned and said, "Are you right? I often hear people say that the officials in the court today have to work much harder than when my father was in power."
After a pause, Zhao Zhen added: "Of course, this is inseparable from the supervision of the Grand Master."
Kou Ji glanced sideways at Zhao Zhen and said suspiciously, "How did you see that they were working hard?"
Zhao Zhen said naturally: "They rarely quarreled in the court before, but now they quarrel every day in the court, and every time they quote a lot of truths from scriptures."
Kou Ji nodded, stared at Zhao Zhen, and asked, "Is it useful?"
Zhao Zhen was stunned and wanted to answer Kou Ji's question.
But after thinking about it for a while, he became even more stunned.
Kou Ji said frankly: "In dealing with government affairs, it is not about who is arguing fiercely or who has the right reasoning. It is about who can do practical things and truly do things for the people. You see the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty quarreling happily in the court, but
Have you seen what they look like after they leave the court and arrive at their respective yamen?"
Zhao Zhen slowly shook his head.
Kou Ji gave an example: "Do you know what the official department was like when I first arrived?"
Zhao Zhen said with certainty: "It must not be like this now."
Kou Ji raised his head and said: "Yes, when I first came to the Ministry of Personnel, the officials of the Ministry of Personnel did not do anything at all. Instead, they gathered together in groups, drank, had fun, and recited poems and composed poems."
Zhao Zhen opened his mouth subconsciously, "Wang Aiqing doesn't care?"
Kou Ji rolled his eyes and said, "The Wang Aiqing you mentioned was sleeping soundly at the time."
Zhao Zhen was stunned and speechless.
After a long time, Zhao Zhen said angrily: "How can they sleep while on duty with my salary?"
The more Zhao Zhen thought about it, the angrier he got. He slapped the table and stood up and shouted: "When those gentlemen taught me, they said that you must do everything yourself and work conscientiously. You will never be ashamed of my kindness, and you will never be ashamed of my kindness."
The salary given to them.
We have been making trouble for a long time, are they all lying to me?"
Kou Ji gave Zhao Zhen a look that said, "You just know."
Zhao Zhen was so angry that he wanted to kill someone.
Zhao Zhen has been sitting on the throne for two years, and he has more or less the consciousness of being the master of the country.
Although he didn't know much about how to deal with government affairs, he was still very concerned about the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty.
How could he not be angry now that he knew that the servants at home only took money, did not work, and scolded him for nothing.
Kou Ji patted Zhao Zhen on the shoulder and comforted him: "Don't be angry, this has become a normal state. A large number of civil and military people in the Manchu Dynasty were like this in the yamen. How can you still treat them all?"
Has it been dealt with?"
Zhao Zhen said angrily: "But when I think about them taking my salary, scolding me all day long, doing nothing, and blaming me for natural and man-made disasters, I want to kill them."
Kou Ji sighed: "Can't kill...too many..."
After a pause, Kou Ji added: "At least I can't kill him now."
Zhao Zhen stared and said, "When can I kill him?"
Kou Ji said calmly: "When it's time to kill, I will help you strike first."
Hearing this, Zhao Zhen nodded heavily.
"But before that, I can help you get some interest first so that you can vent your anger."
Kou Ji said with a smile.
Zhao Zhen looked at Kou Ji hurriedly and said, "How to ask for it?"
Kou Ji pushed Zhao Zhen away, rummaged through his office desk, found a stack of files, and handed them to Zhao Zhen.
Zhao Zhen took the file and asked suspiciously: "What is it?"
Kou Ji smiled and said: "Some official files."
Zhao Zhen nodded, opened the file in his hand and checked it carefully.
After he checked the files for a while, his tense little face relaxed a lot.
"I didn't expect that the Song Dynasty would have such good officials who served the country and the people."
"Um……"
"Officials like this should be transferred to Huijing and let them hold important positions. They should serve me well."
"..."
Hearing Zhao Zhen's words, Kou Ji almost laughed out loud.
He suppressed a smile, took out a few copies from a pile of merit lists, and handed them to Zhao Zhen.
"Look at this again."
Zhao Zhen took the merit list, read it carefully, and said excitedly: "I didn't expect them to have such a contribution to my country. I will definitely use them in the future."
"Pfft..."
"Why are you laughing? Could it be that what I said is wrong."
"Nothing...puff..."
Under Zhao Zhen's suspicious gaze, Kou Ji held back his laughter, took out another item, and handed it to Zhao Zhen.
"Look at this again..."
Zhao Zhen took what Kou Ji handed over with a strange expression.
He guessed that Kou Ji was harboring bad intentions, but he didn't press him.
He really wanted to see what kind of medicine was sold in Kou Ji's gourd.
Zhao Zhen took what Kou Ji handed over and took one look at it. His eyes suddenly widened. He took another look and his eyes straightened up.
Then, his little face turned blue and white for a while.
