Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 602 Zhang Sui's Huge Bureaucracy

After asking Xun Chen, Zhang Sui looked at Gao Rou and pursed his lips and said, "Second cousin, how is the situation in Bingzhou? Are there any difficulties?"

Gao Rou glanced at Zhang Sui and smiled, "Not bad."

"Firstly, with the intimidation of General Yan Liang's army, most people dare not act rashly."

"Secondly, as a descendant of the main clan of the Chenliu Gao family, most people still give me face."

"Of course, it's mainly because the lord is a young and talented man with great military achievements. I had people spread the word and everyone was shocked."

Zhang Sui raised his eyebrows and said, "From the first time I saw my second cousin, I felt that he was a great talent."

"Luckily we are not enemies."

"Otherwise, the loss of my second cousin would be a great misfortune."

"Is my second cousin married at his current age?"

Gao Rou was stunned for a moment and shook her head.

He had been hoping that his cousin Yuan Shao would marry Yuan Mi to him, so he had been delaying the decision.

Now, of course, he can't have such fantasy.

Zhang Sui pondered for a moment.

It's not that he doesn't know Gao Rou's thoughts.

We must eliminate the possibility that Gao Rou may have any evil thoughts.

Huang Chengyan came to his mind, and Zhang Sui looked at Gao Rou and said, "I have seen the Huang family of Jingzhou when I went to Xiangyang before. There are many outstanding ladies there."

"When I have time, I'll talk to my father-in-law, Mr. Huang, and I'll find you someone you like."

Gao Rou bowed and said, "Everything is up to my lord."

Zhang Sui chatted with others for a while, all about the current situation.

Thinking of tonight's banquet, Zhang Sui asked someone to call Yuan Mi, Huang Yueying and Cai Yan over and inform them of their mission for tonight.

The three girls arrived quickly.

Hearing Zhang Sui's dilemma, Cai Yan and Huang Yueying immediately began to recite the list on the scroll given by Ju Su.

The list of these officials includes not only their names, but also their courtesy names, the places where they served, and some of their outstanding achievements.

Huang Yueying and Cai Yan recited very seriously.

Zhang Sui and Yuan Mi sat together playing in the mud.

Yuan Mi doesn't have such a good memory.

She knows it too.

Therefore, she was too lazy to get involved.

Zhang Sui was bored.

In Xuzhou, Tian Feng helped to manage most of the affairs.

When they arrived at Yecheng, Ju Su was also in charge.

With two honest and capable people helping with management, he felt that he only needed to be responsible for execution.

He didn't understand why Yuan Shao would leave the two big guys, Ju Shou and Tian Feng, unused!
What a waste of talent.

As for after Ju Shou and Tian Feng, Zhang Sui had already thought of successors.

We will see whether Lu Xun and Zhuge Liang can reach the historical level by then.

If there are no deviations, let them replace Ju Shou and Tian Feng.

He continued to be a hands-off boss.

Zhang Sui and Yuan Mi played until dusk, when Ju Shou came to their house and asked Zhang Sui, Yuan Mi, Huang Yueying and Cai Yan to take a bath and change clothes so that they could attend the banquet in the evening.

After bathing, Zhang Sui, Yuan Mi, Huang Yueying and Cai Yan changed their clothes and sat at the front seats in the new government hall, waiting for the officials to come in.

Ju Su and Xin Pi were responsible for welcoming officials at the gate of the government office.

Guo Jia stood aside, introducing each official who came in to Zhang Sui, Yuan Mi, Huang Yueying and Cai Yan.

Zhang Sui and Yuan Mi were eating oranges and laughing in low voices.

Huang Yueying and Cai Yan combined Guo Jia's introduction with Ju Su's scroll and memorized the information of each official.

Zhang Sui looked at Huang Yueying and Cai Yan busying themselves and laughed out loud.

It’s so damn cool to be a hands-off boss.

To be honest, he still doesn't quite understand why the brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu ended up in failure in history.

Even if we do nothing like this, Hebei will be stable.

As night fell, all the officials arrived.

Ju Su hosted the dinner.

At the beginning, Lord Zhang Sui gave a speech, reviewing past achievements and looking forward to the future.

After that, the banquet began and the singing girls took turns to perform.

Then all the civil and military officials toasted Zhang Sui.

Everyone else was drinking alcohol, but Zhang Sui drank tea instead.

As each official came up to toast, Huang Yueying and Cai Yan on the side whispered the information of these officials to Zhang Sui.

Zhang Sui took Yuan Mi to interact closely with these officials and praised their past achievements.

After the toasts, Zhang Sui, whose memory was not very good, was also amazed.

At the previous banquet in Xia Pi, Xuzhou, he realized that his strength could not be underestimated.

Now at this banquet, he became more aware of his own strength.

Civil service group: Ju Shou, Chen Deng, Chen Gong, Liu Ye, Guo Jia, Xun Chen, Gao Rou, Chen Jiao, Xin Pi, Xin Ping and others.

Military attaché group: Xu Rong, Gao Shun, Cheng Lian, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang He, Gao Lan, Wang Hao, Jiang Qi, Jiang Yiqu, Zhen Hao, Huang Han and others.

Zhang Sui even suspected that even if he didn't use those people from Xuzhou and Yangzhou, with just this group of people tonight, as long as he managed it properly, he would have a chance to defeat Cao Cao and try to seize the world.

The banquet lasted until late at night.

Zhang Sui took Yuan Mi, Huang Yueying and Cai Yan to see off Chen Deng, Chen Gong, Xu Rong and a few others.

Afterwards, he asked Yuan Mi, Huang Yueying and Cai Yan to return to their residence first.

Ju Su and Xin Pi were responsible for finishing the banquet.

Both of them are elderly.

Especially Ju Shou, his hair has turned white.

As for Xin Pi, he is my father-in-law after all.

As a young man, Zhang Sui felt embarrassed to just watch them busy themselves.

Zhang Sui followed Ju Su and Xin Pi, serving them tea and water.

It was not until almost dawn that Ju Su and Xin Pi fell asleep in the government office at Zhang Sui's urging.

Zhang Sui also prepared to find a place to sleep.

Just now, I asked the clerk from the government office to take me to my room.

Passing by the only remaining courtyard, Zhang Sui's mind emerged of the time when he rushed to the government office during the day, when Liu was wearing a cheongsam, standing at the archway of the courtyard, wanting to get closer but then retreating back.

Zhang Sui stopped and signaled the clerk to go and rest. After a little hesitation, Zhang Sui walked over alone.

There were two guards on duty at the archway entrance of the courtyard.

When they saw Zhang Sui, they had to bow.

Zhang Sui waved his hand.

The two guards then continued their shifts in silence.

Zhang Sui entered the courtyard.

The whole courtyard was deserted and there was no one in sight.

Inside the courtyard, only the house on the east side had an open fire.

Zhang Sui walked over.

At the door of the room, there was a maid's room with the door wide open.

Zhang Sui stuck his head in.

On a square table, a dim oil lamp was burning.

A maidservant, fully dressed, was sitting on a bench and sleeping on the table.

Another maid was lying on the bed.

Zhang Sui walked in, and the two maids didn't make any movement.

Zhang Sui did not wake them up.

Although in ancient times, this was definitely a serious dereliction of duty.

Zhang Sui quietly retreated and looked towards the main room.

The door was ajar.

Zhang Sui gently pushed open the door.

I saw the bright moonlight pouring in from the window, illuminating a square table.

There, Liu was still wearing the purple cheongsam she had worn during the day.

At this moment, she was sitting facing the window, supporting her chin with her right hand, staring blankly at the moonlight.

When Zhang Sui walked in, she turned her head and looked over.

When she saw that it was Zhang Sui, Liu was stunned for a moment, hurriedly got down from the bench, walked in front of Zhang Sui, and was a little at a loss.
