The night was dark like paint, the clouds were moving, and there was a bright moon in the sky.
Li Li looked away from the window.
The room was illuminated by fine candles. He turned to look at the room full of colleagues working at their desks and let out a long sigh.
He wanted to return to Jizhou and his hometown.
What bullshit fame and wealth! Show your ambition! No more!
He once came from Han Fu, then resigned and returned to his hometown, where he spent several years.
At that time, people were drinking and debauched in the countryside. They were full of resentment and wanted to show their talents to the Ming Lord again.
Only now did he realize how comfortable and comfortable the days of recreation in his hometown had been.
Now I'm stuck here.
He has been in official circles for many years, but he has never heard that Fu Xin must be impounded upon taking office, and that resignation must wait for approval six months in advance!
Isn’t it just a matter of time to resign in a casual manner and leave with a slap on the butt and a seal of approval?
It's not that Li Li never thought about being free and unrestrained, but Fu Xin was detained and it was impossible to move forward in western Liaoning.
"Why--"
He sighed again.
Driven by him, there seemed to be some chain reaction, and there was a series of sighs below.
For a moment, the room was full of resentment.
The official boy servant standing in the corner of the room came up to him immediately: "Mr. Ziji, would you like some midnight snacks?"
Knowing that these ancient scribes were in poor health, Gongsun Yan was always oppressing them, so he was very concerned about their health.
After all, life span is equal to length of service.
The longer you live, the longer you can work.
So she followed Lu Long's example and not only allocated funds to rebuild the officials' courtyards but also the longhouses of the minor officials.
The large kitchen was rebuilt, and Ah Qing personally brought in a group of cooks.
Three meals a day plus midnight snacks.
There is also a tea room with unlimited supply of wolfberry and American ginseng.
We also plan to arrange physical examination and health care packages for them after the hospital is completely built.
Li Li took a look at the water clock displayed in the room.
Seeing the expectant look in the boy servant's eyes again, he said desperately: "Bring me a bowl of wontons."
"Cook a bowl of noodles for someone."
"And I."
Suddenly there was a sound of ordering food below.
With the large number of registered people and the addition of several households dug out from aristocratic families, Gongsun Yan became more and more wealthy.
The manors gathered outside the city were converted into breeding farms, a large number of adult pigs were purchased, and meat was gradually supplied to special positions.
The midnight snack every night is the greatest comfort for these officials.
After ordering the supper, Li Li turned his eyes back to the bandu in front of him.
As of now, all accounts from various places have been collected.
Although Lingzhi and Lulong have implemented paper-based offices, traditional tablets are still used elsewhere.
There are so many tablets recording the local population, taxes, money and grain inflows and outflows, the number of acres of land, etc. that they need to be measured in cars.
If you want to actually understand a place, the first step is to inventory this data.
These data need to be processed by veterans like Li Li who are familiar with the government affairs of the Han Dynasty.
After lamenting for a while, he still accepted his fate, continued to use his newly learned abacus, and started working.
Time passed little by little in the sound of the abacus beads crackling.
The water clock in the house finally clicked.
As soon as they were saved, everyone stopped what they were doing, gathered the documents at hand as quickly as possible, and sealed them with clay.
Gongsun Yan put on his curtain hat and walked out, and saw everyone looking like they were waiting to get off work.
She was stunned for a moment and nodded slightly.
Suddenly there was a noise of tables and chairs.
As we walked and said goodbye to each other, we didn't want to stay for a moment.
The corner of Gongsun Yan's mouth twitched, and he turned his head with the document in his hand: "Mr. Zi Ji, there is something going on here..."
She turned her head, and Li Li, who was there just now, was no longer there, and the window was wide open.
Gongsun Yan didn't know how he could be so agile at his age.
Come to think of it, I'm still not tired enough, otherwise I wouldn't be able to act in such a lively way.
Sighing and thumping her waist, she took Alan and left the room.
After the government was established, Gongsun Jing's luxurious courtyard was nominally allocated to Zhao Yun.
It's just that even if Zhao Yun is in Lingzhi, he usually stays in the army.
This place has always been vacant.
Occasionally when Gongsun Yan was really tired, he would go there and stay overnight.
But most of the time, she would still go back to Gongsun's house to avoid neglecting Gongsun Cheng's care in the long run.
After getting into the car with Alan, Gongsun Yan stretched out and saw Alan taking a nap next to him.
A trace of apology flashed in Gongsun Yan's eyes, and he thought it was time to transfer Jiang Shuzuo.
She gently laid Alan down on her lap, put a blanket on her, then closed her eyes and went through the location and layout of the future steel plant again in her mind.
With the friendly supply from the Lian family, combined with the newly discovered coal mines by government gold miners, Gongsun Yan had the foundation to do great things.
She is not greedy either. It would be enough to have a Hanyang Iron Works at the earliest.
Just like that, I rocked all the way in the car.
When she returned to Gongsun's house, she was already drowsy.
Zhang Zhuli stood in front of the car and shouted twice before getting a response.
Gongsun Yan rubbed his eyes and stuck his head out, and heard Zhang Zhang say: "Ms. Yan..."
"Shh-"
Gongsun Yan raised his finger to stop Zhang Zhang from continuing to speak, and gestured to Alan, who was sleeping soundly.
He was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously closed his mouth.
Gongsun Yan nodded and whispered: "Go and ask the maid to pick you up."
Seeing Zhang Zhang nodding, she yawned and walked into the courtyard.
It wasn't until the door closed that Zhang Zhang was stunned for a moment and remembered what he wanted to say just now.
After Gongsun Yan entered, he saw that the door of the hall was open and the lights were on.
She thought it was Gongsun Cheng who came to her after having a nightmare at night.
When I went in, I realized it was a person who shouldn't be there.
Zhao Yun's clothes were stained with dust and he was sitting at the table.
He was under the lamp, frowning tightly, looking down at some book.
Under the light from the side, he looks tough.
Gongsun Yan unconsciously softened his eyebrows and walked forward.
I want to ask him why he came back suddenly.
After just two steps, I noticed something was wrong.
With Zhao Yun's vigilance, she wouldn't have been able to get so close without noticing.
Gongsun Yan blinked his eyes, lowered his footsteps, and tiptoed over to see what he was looking at.
When she got closer, she noticed Zhao Yun's purple-red ears and half of his handsome face.
She paused and suddenly remembered something.
The smile on his face suddenly solidified.
An extremely ominous premonition slowly came to mind.
She couldn't help biting her lip and stepped forward.
When she saw clearly what Zhao Yun was holding, her heart skipped a beat.
At this moment, Zhao Yun raised his head and their eyes met.
Gongsun Yan could even see his own panic in his eyes.
"It's not mine, do you believe it?" she said timidly.
Zhao Yun pursed his lips, lowered his eyes and hummed softly.
Gongsun Yan immediately covered his chest and took half a step back.
This man actually said he believed her.
In this way, there is no way to lie to people.
Finally, Gongsun Yan stood on tiptoe and snatched the book from Zhao Yun's hand.
Covering his face, he ran all the way back to the bedroom.
