The predecessor who was scumbag by me was the emperor

Shen Jia is indeed very popular these days. There are many officials who come to the Ministry of Households to learn forms from him every day. In order to curry favor with Shen Jia.

Shen Jia treated them equally, recorded their needs, prepared to sort them out, and taught those of the same type together, otherwise he would not be able to keep busy even if he had the skill of avatar.

People come and go from the household department every day, and Feng Qiugui felt a little jealous when he saw that Shen Jia was so sought after.

His entourage said casually: "Master Shen has attracted much attention at a young age. Recently, he is the most popular in the court. I'm afraid he will be promoted in a short time."

Feng Qiugui glanced at the attendants and understood his subtext, Minister Ning will retire in two years, and there must be a lot of people who want to grab the position of Minister Ning when the time comes, and he is no exception.

Feng Qiugui has been in the household department for many years. It took him ten years to be promoted to the position of doctor, and he has been sitting in this position for seven or eight years. How long has Shen Jia been here?

In terms of seniority, it was his turn to be promoted, but Shen Jia had the emperor's favor, and made such a popular form, and his achievements were outstanding. As long as the emperor said a word, he could still rise above himself.

"This is fate!" Feng Qiugui sighed.

The attendant didn't think so, "My lord, there are still two years left, who knows what will happen during this time, too much limelight is not a good thing."

Feng Qiugui looked at Shen Jia who was surrounded by a group of people, and curled his mouth. Of course he understood that he should not be so high-key when he should be low-key as an official. Shen Jia is looking at the scenery now, but once he loses his favor, he will cry when.

The next day when he went to court, the emperor also mentioned the matter of tabulation in his busy schedule, "I have also read this form, and it is really good, especially the number is very fast, and it is very convenient to find the number. Since it was invented by Shen Aiqing, it is I will leave it to you to promote this matter, and I hope that by this time next year, I can see all officials reporting data in forms."

Shen Jiayi did not refuse, but he also put forward his opinion: "I would like to report to the emperor, I have an idea, I wonder if it is feasible?"

"Tell me."

"I can write a textbook on how to make tabulations, publish it and distribute it to various places. Among them, the commonly used forms can be unified in the format, so that the uploaded forms will be the same, which is convenient for each government office to make statistics. Of course, This matter can’t be done by one person, it needs to be brainstormed by all yamen, and you can start to make changes in the most important places first, as long as everyone gets used to watching watches and making watches, you can draw inferences according to your needs in the future.”

The ministers all looked at Shen Jia with complicated emotions. A fifth-rank doctor already wanted to take care of the affairs of the various yamen. If he joins the cabinet in the future, he might have to control the government and the public alone. Such a person is really scary and we have to guard against it.

Xu Shoufu stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I think it's not appropriate. The form seems convenient, but it is a new thing after all. It is too troublesome to have the same form for the whole country. Yes, maybe it will delay the daily business."

Zhao Zhang asked lightly: "Are there any illiterate officials in the government office? Shen Aiqing showed me a few sample forms, all of which are very simple and easy. If anyone can't learn it, let him go home and retire." go."

Xu Shoufu lowered his head, and his eyes flashed sharply. He didn't really want to refute Shen Jia, but just tested how much the emperor valued Shen Jia. From this, it can be seen that Shen Jia usually worked hard for the emperor, and even showed his They were all seen by the emperor.

Shen Jia still didn't dare to offend Xu Shoufu, and explained to him: "Master Shoufu, please don't worry, the minister said that there will not be too many forms to be sent to various places. It is mainly for the convenience of statistics. The same format is only used for statistics Addition and subtraction need to be done at the same location, which can improve the efficiency of the yamen, and in the long run, it will save a lot of time. Although it takes time to learn a new thing, it is also for long-term considerations.”

The first form Shen Jia made was the morning meeting sign-in form, and the daily morning meeting was recorded. Attaching a sign-in form would save a lot of trouble for future reference.

After reading it, many officials knew that what Shen Jia said was correct. Most of the forms just changed the format of the usual record content, and they were not complicated. It was easy to learn and felt easier to remember than previous formats.

"Shen Aiqing is solely responsible for the form. Officials below the fifth rank will call it at will. Since you said that you want to compile teaching materials, it will not be too late. If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools. It will not be too late to start after you are ready. There is another thing for you to do right now."

Although Shen Jia was surprised, he didn't hear Zhao Zhang mentioning that he was asked to do other errands beforehand, but he didn't show it on the face, and responded obediently: "Please order from the emperor."

"The purchase of grain is in progress. After buying the grain, it will be shipped to the five northern provinces one after another. I have seen the grain inventory list you made last time. I have some doubts about it. I will let you inspect the granaries in the five northern provinces for me. If Anyone who dares to conceal, make a false report, or practice fraud will be severely punished."

The whole court was in an uproar, the emperor actually entrusted such an important matter to a 20-year-old young official, isn't it ridiculous?

Zhou Shangshu was the first to stand up and refute that Shen Jia was from his household department, and if he failed to do so, he would lose face of the household department, "Your Majesty, although Langzhong Shen has some outstanding qualities, it is inevitable that he should patrol the various places as an angel." He is too young, his reputation is not yet obvious, and he is afraid that he will not be able to suppress the local officials when he arrives in the local area, so I think it is better to find an old minister with more experience."

"The minister seconded the proposal, Mr. Shen is indeed very good, but he still lacks the energy to be the chief envoy. It is better to let Mr. Shen go and experience it." Other ministers stood up and echoed. Jia is too young, afraid that he will not be able to suppress the local snakes.

Zhao Zhang thought for a while, then nodded and said: "My dear friends are right, then Qin Zhangyuan of the Imperial Academy will be the chief envoy, Shen Jia will be the deputy envoy, and Li Dechang, the deputy commander of the imperial guards, will lead the three hundred imperial guards. To ensure the safety of all adults, I will give Shang Fang another sword, and allow the imperial envoy the right to kill first and then play."

Qin Zhangyuan stood up to take orders, because of his daughter's coming out of the palace, he has been very low-key recently, and he is afraid of becoming the target of others' criticism, especially after Wei Zhaoyi became the queen, his colleagues expressed deep sympathy for him. Those who are good are just comforting him, those who have a bad relationship are ridiculed, and even his daughter can't stand this kind of ridicule, so they went to the grandfather's house in the south of the Yangtze River to avoid the limelight.

He thought that his official career would not go well, but he did not expect that the emperor would appoint him as an imperial envoy. Although anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was paving the way for Shen Jia, so what, it was better than being treated coldly by the emperor all the time. .

"The minister must be lucky enough to live up to his fate!" Qin Zhanyuan happily promised.

"Today, you make some preparations and leave tomorrow. The situation is urgent. You must be careful when you arrive at the place, and let people send reports back every day."

Although Shen Jia accepted the job, she felt a little disapproving in her heart. In the middle of winter, there were heavy snowfalls in the five northern provinces. Even Chang'an started to snow last night. I'm afraid I won't be able to return for three months after this trip. Zhao Zhang's arrangement is a bit weird no matter how you look at it.

But this matter should indeed be done by someone. When he was sorting out the data, he found that there were abnormalities in the grain balance in some places, and he also reported it to the emperor. Maybe the emperor felt that he was familiar with these data, so he handed it over to him. Do.

It is definitely a very painful thing to travel in the deep winter of ancient times. If Shen Jia hadn't reconciled with Zhao Zhang, she would have suspected that he deliberately tormented herself.

Because he was going to leave the next day, Shen Jia originally thought that Zhao Zhang would definitely come to Shen's mansion to look for him that night. , there is still no movement on the side of the secret road.

Although Shen Jia could also go to find Zhao Zhang through the secret road, he never walked through it once. He stood at the exit of the secret road and lingered for a long time, but finally he didn't use the key to turn on the switch. He thought to himself: Since Zhao Zhang doesn't come, Then he has nothing to say.

He went to bed angrily, tossed and turned all night and didn't sleep well, because he was going to leave the next day, and the morning morning was skipped, Shen Jia rarely slept late, and after waking up, he washed and watched He Yan check and salute.

He Yan also wanted to go with him, besides him, there were several guards given to him by Uncle Zhong and Zhao Zhang.

Zhao Zhang didn't know where to pick eight guards for him. I don't know if they are good at martial arts, but they were all loyal and obedient. Shen Jia decided to keep two guards at home and take the rest with him on the road.

"Have you packed your luggage? The cotton coat must be thick, and each person should buy a thick cloak. This young master can take a car along the way, but they will ride a horse. You need to prepare an extra pair of knee pads and gloves."

"Young master, don't worry, the housekeeper went to buy all the items you listed yesterday, and later the palace sent a carload of luggage, all of which are useful and easy to use when going out, and I packed them all up."

In addition to the official uniform, Shen Jia also brought four or five sets of ordinary clothes. The clothes of this period must not be as warm as the modern ones, two fur coats, two thick cotton coats, and the shoes are also leather snow boots that he told him to make before. I wanted to give Zhao Zhang a pair, but it was too late to do it now.

"The time is too tight, otherwise we have to make some dry food to eat on the road. There is so much snow along the way that we can't even catch game. If we don't meet a town, it will be difficult to get food."

"Master, why are you worried about these things? Don't the Imperial Guards all carry luggage, are they afraid of lack of food? But I have brought all the boilers we used on the road, at least we are not afraid of running out of hot soup."

Shen Jia lowered her head and straightened her belt, then wrapped her thick cloak, hat, scarf and gloves in the same way, wrapped like a bear, before she dared to step out of the gate.

He made an appointment with Qin Zhangyuan to meet at the gate of Beicheng. Li Dechang led three hundred guards to pick him up first, and then escorted him out of the city.

The author's gossip: I took the wrong subheading, and I haven't finished writing the top, middle and bottom, and I haven't written the ceremony after the ceremony, so I made a mistake!
