Three Kingdoms: My Wife Is Diao Chan

Chapter 292

Chapter 293

Cao Chong, who returned to Luoyang, made some personnel changes to the Ministry of Punishment and the school office. Cao Yan went home to observe his filial piety, and Man Pang took over as Minister of the Ministry of Punishment.

Cao Tai took over the school affairs office, but his official position has not changed. He is still the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment and the deputy commander of the school affairs office.

Firstly, the situation in Luoyang is special, and the Ministry of Criminal Justice has many things to deal with, all of which are related to the school affairs office.

Second, Cao Yan will come back after the filial piety is over, and the position of commander will be reserved for him. He can also help with some chores in his spare time, so as not to be too boring during his filial piety.

Moreover, the commander of the school affairs office is not an official position.

Because of the forced implementation of the New Deal, Cao Chong immediately became busy after returning to Luoyang.

Just like what Wen Jiao said, Cao Chong's New Deal is very unpopular. Although no one dares to oppose it openly, no matter the size of the officials or the common people, they deal with it passively.

This made Cao Chong very annoyed. He had nothing to do with the people who had just changed from refugees to new people. A group of people who had not yet shaken off the shadow of hunger and cold could not ask too much of them.

But the officials, big and small, the young master treats you well, how dare you play with me that there are policies and countermeasures.

I really thought I couldn't deal with you guys.

"How many subordinates have you fired in the past few days? You even threw a few subordinates from the household department to that cruel staff!" Cao Chong, who was somewhat dissatisfied with Wenjiao, said.

"Hehe, Muxiu today, don't talk about business! Take a good rest for a day, and talk about things tomorrow."

"Don't be fooling people. The last few times you went to rest, you didn't ask me to discuss business matters. Today, I thought of letting me have a good rest!"

"It's just that sister Wenjiao was too tired in the previous paragraph, so now I have to take a good rest!"

"Come on, this recliner is very comfortable! You put on airs in the yamen every day, don't sit like that when you relax, how tired you are!" Cao Chong said with a smile.

Wen Jiao couldn't understand Cao Chong's style of work, "Call me Wen Jiao! You used to stand or sit, but now you have such a chair, which looks like a puddle of mud all day long, what's the point?"

"It's not proper, it's just for comfort and ease of rest. Don't believe me, try it? Let me tell you, it's not good for your body if you are stretched all day long..."

"Don't change the subject, I've heard about that Manpang, he's a notoriously cruel official, why did you bring him to Luoyang?" Wen Jiao interrupted Cao Chong and asked dissatisfied.

"What? Someone spread gossip?" Cao Chong frowned.

"Huh! Man Pang has served as Xu Du Ling for many years, and many people in the household department come from Xu Du, and his reputation in Xu Du has been revealed long ago!"

Cao Chong was very dissatisfied when he heard this: "What reputation? Although Man Pang strictly enforces the law, he has never done anything to intentionally frame things. What Luoyang wants is someone who can enforce the law impartially!"

"There are already a lot of people in Luoyang who are dissatisfied with you. Reusing cruel officials will make people lose their morals. You'd better be careful!"

"It seems that the New Deal has touched a lot of people's nerves! If you don't dare to openly oppose it, you will go on strike passively. I just dealt with a few of them, and some people started telling stories!"

Cao Chong got up from the reclining chair, walked to Wen Jiao's side, and looked up and down carefully.

"Stay away from me! You are so unreasonable!" Wen Jiao was taken aback by Cao Chong's sudden move.

Cao Chong suddenly grabbed Wen Jiao's hand, and begged pitifully, "Sister Wen Jiao, you can't abandon me at this time!"

"There are many difficulties in the implementation of the New Deal, and I rely on your strong support. Why do you embarrass me like they do?"

"Let go! Let go...speak well!" Wen Jiao blushed, trying to shake off Cao Chong's hands.

At this time, the door of the courtyard suddenly opened, and Diao Chan and Zhen Mi came in from outside.

"Cough! It's still in the yard!"

"Husband, don't bully Sister Wenjiao in broad daylight!"

Wen Jiao immediately blushed to the base of her neck, she violently broke her hands away, and ran out of the small courtyard!

In the end, Zhen Mi shut the courtyard door with a bang!
"Don't say I didn't remind you, there are many people outside! You ran out blushing like this..."

Wen Jiao was taken aback immediately, standing behind the door, not knowing what to do!

Seeing Diao Chan and Zhen Mi come back, Cao Chong was always shameless and didn't feel embarrassed at all!
"Didn't you go to see the newly opened cold drink shop? You're back so soon?"

"Yo! Do you hate us?" Zhen Mi said angrily.

Diao Chan followed, "It's not that far away. On such a hot day, sister Zhen Mi and I must hurry back before the sun rises. Husband, are you bullying sister Wen Jiao again?"

Cao Chong looked embarrassed, "What is bullying? I'll just ask her for something..."

"Wen Jiao, hurry up and come here under the shade of the trees, you won't be afraid of getting sunburned if you stand in the sun! Come back, you haven't told me who is chewing tongues behind your back!"

Seeing Wen Jiao blushing and slowly coming back to sit down, Zhen Mi blinked: "Brother! There are some things that are more appropriate to ask her at night..."

"Zhen Mi! Shut up..." Wen Jiao was furious!
Cao Chong took a look at Zhen Mi, he hadn't cleaned it up for two days, his whole body was itchy, isn't it?
"Okay, don't talk to her! You haven't told me who is chewing her tongue behind her back?" Cao Chong quickly persuaded, and if you provoke her again, Wen Jiao really wants to run away!
"I don't know, anyway, many people are talking about it. Xue Qi and Deng Hui came to ask me yesterday!"

"So you complained to me just now? Thank you for reminding me, sister Wenjiao is nice to me!" Cao Chong said.

"Speak up! It's true that Manpang has a bad reputation, and you can't stop others from talking about it."

"What a bad reputation! The reputation of Manpang's cruel officials comes from those dignitaries and nobles. In fact, in the eyes of low-level officials, Manpang enforces the law fairly and defies the dignitaries. His reputation is still good. Luoyang has no dignitaries or nobles. thing?"

Cao Chong thought about it, but he didn't have any clue, so he decided to ask the school affairs office to investigate secretly to see what's going on?

"Forget it, let's not talk about it. Man Pang has been in office for many years and has outstanding abilities. He doesn't take this little trouble in Luoyang seriously. How is the new accounting method implemented in the household department?"

Cao Chong has long been unable to understand the accounts of the Ministry of Accounting. They are so crude and full of loopholes that they can't even be counted as a running account. It's really embarrassing for Wen Jiao, who doesn't know how she figured out the accounts.

However, Cao Chong never blamed the Ministry of Accounts before, and in the era when bamboo slips and wooden slips were popular, it was impossible to remember the accounts so clearly!

Now that paper and pencils are provided free of charge in the yamen, it would be unreasonable not to improve the accounting method.

"It's not good, it's only been a few days? The subordinates are still getting used to it!"

"Why is such a simple thing so difficult?" Cao Chong was very dissatisfied.

Wen Jiao glared at Cao Chong: "It's easy for you, but those subordinate staff have been working in the same way for many years, and you suddenly put forward so many detailed requirements and made a lot of statistical tables, the subordinate staff below have been messed up. How can it be so easy to change the habits of many years!"
