Chapter thirty-ninth take office

Early in the morning, Wang Zhong went to buy gifts and set off for Chengzhuang, now changed to Wangjiazhuang.

Wang Ning'an, under Wang Cheng's service, got dressed, had breakfast, and went to the Civil Affairs Bureau of West City to take up his post.

Wang Cheng took the "Guide to Traveling to Xianliyuan" and continued to sell it.

The three of them divided their work and arranged a full day's itinerary.

After making inquiries, Wang Ning'an finally found the Office of Standardization after many twists and turns. On the way, he saw the bustling West Market.

This is still the second year of Zhenguan, and it has just begun. When it enters the middle period, the prosperity will increase several times.

The Office of Standardization is located at the highest location in the West City. It is a three-story building. At this time, there was an endless flow of people at the door, including merchants and officials, coming in and out, making it very lively.

"How can it be so lively without going in? It's like a war inside. Do I want to go in?"

Wang Ning'an asked himself this question, his heart full of curiosity, and his legs refused to obey him as he walked into the Office of Standardization.

He saw foreign businessmen wearing various clothes chatting and laughing with the officials of the Peace Preparation Department, with a look on their faces like "I want to curry favor with you."

He even saw some Hu businessmen giving benefits to the officials, but the officials came blatantly and no one said anything.

Wang Ning'an stared at all this with wide eyes. This subverted him, who had always been law-abiding and wanted to be an honest official, and openly bribed him. Isn't there anyone who cares about it?

He calmly walked to the second floor. There were a lot fewer people here. They were basically officials and some businessmen from the Tang Dynasty.

Then we went to the third floor. As soon as we got to the third floor, we were stopped by someone.

"Who are you, you can break into this important office?"

Wang Ning'an ignored him completely, walked straight over, arrived at a table and sat down.

"How dare you, you also sit in the seat of the Chief Minister? Someone will drive him out." said an official.

Just when the two officers wanted to step forward to arrest Wang Ning'an, Wang Ning'an said: "I am the signing officer who has just been conferred by your Majesty, and this is my token."

Everyone was stunned for a moment. When they saw that the token was genuine, they all stepped forward and said, "I'm here to see you, sir."

Wang Ning'an nodded and said, "There's no need to be too polite. Why are there only the three of you on the third floor, Mr. Cheng?"

"Replying to your lord, Sir Shu Cheng has gone to inspect the West City."

Wang Ning'an nodded and said: "I am new to the position and I don't know many things. Please introduce me to me."

"Xu Shi is honored to be the lower official." Xu Shi said, "Reporting to your lord, the Pingzhun Department is affiliated to Taifu Temple. There are fifty people in total, including two department magistrates, four department chiefs, one person who records affairs, and the subordinate officials

Just record the affairs. There are also six people in the government, thirteen in history, two in supervisors, two in charge of affairs, ten in price, and ten in charge."

Wang Ning'an said: "There are two acting commanders. Where is the other one? And what do you usually do?"

Xu Shi replied: "My lord, at present, there is only one of you, your Excellency, in charge of the administrative department in the Western City. Normally, the administrative chief and others hang around the Western Market and rarely come to the government office.

The daily work of the Office of Standardization is very tedious. The people on the first floor are basically the bidders, who are in charge of the office. There are also three people in the government, ten people in history, one supervisor, and one person in charge of the matter. They entertain businessmen from all over the world. Their purpose is

Measure prices, record…”

You ask and I answer. Wang Ning'an already has a general understanding of the work of the Office of Standardization. In short, it is the management of the West Market. The work on transactions, prices, measurement, etc. is almost the same as what he knew from history books in his previous life.

Wang Ning'an was silent for a moment and said: "I just saw many foreign businessmen downstairs giving a lot of bribes to our officials."

Xu Shi immediately raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty, this is the extra income of my subordinates, and I also have it."

"Me too?" Wang Ning'an looked at Xu Shi in surprise.

Xu Shidao: "Yes, the subordinates' income will be handed over every day, and then distributed to the four chief ministers. Now that the adults are here, it will be distributed by the adults."

Wang Ning'an nodded and said: "I see, Xu Lu has sent someone to bring the four ministers here, saying that I have something important to discuss with them."

"yes."

Xu Shi was very efficient in his work and sent out all his helpers.

In addition to fifty officials, there are also many helpers in the Office of Standardization. Their main tasks are to maintain order, deliver tea and water, greet merchants, etc.

In fact, there is one thing that Xu Shi did not explain about the Office of Standardization, which is that when people buy fake goods, they will complain to the Office of Standardization. Such matters are usually left to the assistants and they will not take care of them.

Wang Ning'an spent half an hour on the third floor of the Office of Standardization. He looked at the merchants coming and going downstairs, especially those foreign merchants wearing strange clothes. He felt very comfortable. This was his ideal Tang Dynasty.

The center of the world, a place that all countries dream of.

"Master Liu, you are here."

"Master Cui, you are here too."

"It's not just you, we are here too."

"We are so anxious to come here. I heard that a new commander-in-chief has taken office."

At the door of the Office of Civilization, four chief ministers met unexpectedly. They were Wang Hong, Cui Xin, Lu Zheng and Zheng Da.

Cui Xin said: "I hope he won't block our financial path, otherwise... humph..."

Wang Hong also showed a hint of gloom and said: "Anyone who blocks our financial path will not end well. I hope he can understand."

Zheng Da urged: "Stop talking, let's go in and take a look, and tell him why there is no Chief of Staff in the Department of Justice so far."

The other three people nodded slightly.

The four of them quickly reached the third floor and saw a young man sitting on the commander's seat reading a book quietly, while Xu Shi stood quietly aside.

The four of them looked at each other and exchanged

After a glance, he walked up to Wang Ning'an, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, Wang Hong (Zheng Da, Cui Xin, Lu Zheng) has met you."

Wang Ning'an was still reading the book quietly and ignored him.

The four of them, Wang Hong, looked at each other in confusion again, and their expressions became ugly. When did the four of them need to look at the expression of a yellow-haired boy?

The four people began to make eye contact. This was a tacit understanding between the four of them that had been working with each other for many years. It can be said that one can know each other's thoughts with just one look.

Zheng Da looked at Wang Hong, as if saying: "What's going on? Why are you ignoring us?"

Wang Hong replied with his eyes: "How do I know? Ask them." Then he looked at Cui Xin and Lu Zheng.

Zheng Da looked at Cui Xin and Lu Zheng.

Lu Zheng said with his eyes: "Now they are going to show us some power. We must hold on, hold on."

"Don't worry." Cui Xin's eyes came in and he glared at them angrily, "It's just a yellow-haired boy. I don't know what connections he got to sit in this position. Why should we be afraid of him?"

"What are you going to do?" Wang Hong and others just stared at Cui Xin.

Cui Xin glanced at everyone: "You are a cowardless gangster. No wonder the Cui family is the first aristocratic family."

Wang Hong and the other three dared not speak out, and they all stared at Cui Xin angrily.

Cui Xin snorted arrogantly, raised his hands to Wang Ning'an again and said, "I have met you, sir."

The voice suddenly became louder, and everyone on the third floor could hear it.

Xu Shi looked at Cui Xin somewhat silently. He was not from a noble family, so he didn't care about anything and didn't take sides. He just did his job and got what he deserved.

Wang Ning'an held the book, raised his head, glanced at Cui Xin, and said, "I heard it, I'm not deaf."

"Then why did your Excellency show your regards to me when I asked you to do so, but your Excellency acted indifferently?" Cui Xin asked directly.

Wang Hong and the others were stunned by these words. This was too bold.

Wang Ning'an was also slightly stunned and said, "What did you say?"

"I asked you to pay my respects to your Excellency, but your Excellency was indifferent. Why is this?" Cui Xin asked again.

Wang Ning'an put away the book and said with an apologetic look: "Blame me, blame me, blame me. Mr. Cui, Mr. Wang, Mr. Zheng, Mr. Lu, I apologize to you."

The three ministers, Lu, Zheng and Wang, immediately bowed in return and said: "I don't dare to do this."

Cui Xin casually raised his hand and said, "You can improve a lot if you know your mistakes."

Wang Ning'an smiled slightly: "Let me introduce myself to everyone. My name is Wang Ning'an. I am the newly appointed Commander-in-Chief, your immediate predecessor. As the saying goes, the three things a new official should do when he takes office. But I am just a young man. For the Pingzhun Commander-in-Chief, I am
