In the shop next to the water, Commander Sun slapped the table and said, "Shopkeeper, two bowls of noodles, two more side dishes, two bowls of wine!"

The servant responded loudly, and after a while, he brought a plate of shallots and tofu, a plate of lotus root noodles, and then made two bowls of wine on the table.

Commander Sun picked up the bowl and said to Deputy Commander Qin opposite him: "Brother, it's rare that we have free time today, let's get drunk!"

Deputy Commander Qin picked up the bowl and took a sip, and said to Commander Sun: "Since I arrived in Qingtai Town, I have been depressed every day. I have been feeling better today when I see my brother."

Commander Sun said: "What's there? We are all officials now, we will take charge of money and grain, no matter how happy we are!"

Deputy Commander Qin slapped the table: "How can we be willing! We have been a commander for 10 or 20 years, but we are idle. Now we are doing things in the field, like walking corpses, what's the point!"

Commander Sun said, "Brother, let's take a look. When I was pulling my fibre, I just arranged my subordinates to go to each ship. How much is it? At that time, I would be deducted money and food, and there were often disputes, which was not as if I am leisurely now."

Commander Sun was still a little lonely when he said this. He used to be in charge of hundreds of people, and he was so majestic. Now he was sitting in the office office, and there was no one to talk. Others took a pile of paper, but they didn't know what was written on it. They just signed and stamped it on it. Anyway, as long as they recognized what they looked like, they didn't draw the wrong place.

It is obvious that the yamen did not expect any function to be a mascot town, just to be a mascot town. With such a person, officials should be cautious and not dare to cheat too much. If they report falsely, these officials will be correct in the picture, but as long as the yamen is found out, the punishment will be much more severe than usual. Moreover, the mascot is an official after all. If they cheated them once, they will always find ways to find them back.

Such days are not boring and have no future. Can people be like this for the rest of their lives? If they don’t pursue them, the court will never keep idle people. If they continue for a long time, maybe just like this time, they will not know where they will be kicked in the future.

After a while, the servant brought two bowls of noodles. The thin noodles, a few vegetables on it, a few pieces of chicken bones, and the fragrant broth was soaked.

He stirred the noodles with chopsticks, and commander Sun said, "This is a newly made noodles in the yamen, called dragon beard noodles, which are very smooth and chewy. I heard from the people in the yamen that in a few days, we will all be in the field where we make this noodles."

Deputy Commander Qin took a bite of noodles and said, "This side is pretty good. I can't make this taste at home. It's because several officials in the yamen are smart and want to make this and that, and build a few places. Otherwise, we will have nothing to do when we go to Qingtai Town!"

Commander Sun said: "Brother is wrong. These operations are nothing. I heard that iron ore is probing out of Fangcheng Mountain in the north. It is necessary to have a large number of talents in Daxing Mine and Metallurgical in Ye County. In a few days, we all have to study and recognize words and take the transfer department exam. If we do well, we will not be more important."

"It's funny, we are decades old, and we have lived for half our lives, but we have to go to school like children, and we are not afraid of being laughed at!"

Commander Sun said, "Brother, I would like to advise you that those who know the current affairs are heroes. We, who are in charge of the fortune and judgment of the field, must use reading and reading to recognize words no matter what we do. As long as we do things under him and do not know big words, we will definitely have no future. It is better to know some words if we work harder."

"I won't learn, will I take my job?"

Commander Sun sighed: "Brother, I thought so too, but I have figured it out these days in Qingtai Town. The fortune judge will naturally not take away our jobs. No matter what, money and grain will be distributed on time and never deducted, which is better than many officials. But if you don't follow his methods, you will have no future and you will have to do something without any effort in your life."

Deputy Commander Qin said: "As long as I don't deduct money and food, I can support my family. What kind of future will they deceive the ghosts!"

Commander Sun shook his head and said no more. Last time he was quarreling with Pang Dutou, he couldn't continue, so he voluntarily resigned and returned to Qingtai Town. After this change, his personality became a little smoother. During these days in the town, he realized that Du Zhongxiao used people and did things very much. Those who could not read and read had basically no future under him. There was no way, and how could he do good things if he couldn't understand those detailed regulations? The field affairs established rules little by little, and everything was fine, and there was a Chengwen. He could not do it without reading or reading.

Those three booklets are enlightenment textbooks. The Yingtianwu yamen was divided into several batches, so that their subordinate officials could attend classes. This matter was not forced, and those who were unwilling to learn could not go. However, many of the official business of Yingtianwu had to learn the three booklets to do well. If you don’t learn it, you would soon be unable to keep up.

This matter has a smaller impact on officials. They have an official rank and a salary standard, so they always have appropriate positions. The officials are not so relaxed. Except for the very few ranks seconded from prefectures and counties, most officials have the same rank. Those who have learned well will soon get important tasks, and their power will become heavier and he will slowly squeeze out others.

In recent days, because young people learn things quickly, many important positions have been occupied by young officials. There are even children of seventeen or eighteen years old who are in charge of the affairs of a group of old officials. The government offices here are newly built and their ministries have never been before. No matter how old or young, everything starts from scratch. Once they are controlled by others, the old officials can do nothing.

The old officials who are now changing dramatically will one day move to the officials. Commander Sun is a small military official, and the local government is nothing more than a supervisor. He has power and status. Once he has no power, he will be dispensable. One day, all matters will be based on the rules of association. Those who cannot read and understand the rules of association will sooner or later be replaced by others.

From the village to Qingtai Town, after changing the environment, people's minds changed. Seeing the changing status of the officials around them, these grassroots officials could not have no ideas and should also think about their future. Judging from their current situation, the rapid development of farming and farming affairs, once they seize the opportunity, they might really be promoted. What is the matter of doing sugar and noodles now? If the mining and smelting are really open, there are only many officials needed in it.

Du Zhongxiao sat in the yamen, closing his eyes and sleeping. The village below was doing a big project, and the town had a new business, and the affairs were busy recently. There were still too few officials under the field business, and most of them had to do it themselves, which was really tiring.

At this moment, Su Song quickly walked in from outside, saw Du Zhongxiao opening his eyes, and said, "The court has decided on the matter of mining and smelting in the north!"

Du Zhongxiao was excited: "What do you think? Last month, Tao Shiqi had already brought people to refine good iron and sent it to the capital. There are both iron ore and coal mines in that area. Everything is ready, so it is rare. If you want to open it, open a large mine!"

Su Song said: "It is to open a large mine. The two governments agreed that Ye County would be demarcated from Ruzhou, and then the places with iron ore would be included, and an iron supervisor, named Baiting Supervisor. First, the field affairs officers would be in charge, and the court would send effective officials to come after a few days. In addition, the emperor sent 500,000 jin from the inner treasury to cast guns and cannons for the imperial guards to use. The money would arrive soon, and the days of shortage of money would be almost over!"

Du Zhongxiao was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that there would be such a good thing. The military affairs, the extra funds expenditure, are mostly from the inner treasury, which is the practice since the founding of the country. First, the Zuozangku does not have much savings, and money is useful. Another internal treasury uses money, which also seems that the army is thanking the emperor's grace. However, it was unexpected that the emperor paid for himself to run an iron prison.

After thinking about it, Du Zhongxiao asked again: "Five hundred thousand guan, but not much. A large iron prison often has tens of thousands of people. How much does it cost to get a head of one person? What are the benefits of the court? Let us build an iron prison."
