A Full Day
Those who had worked before knew that meetings with a lot of people were not important, and important meetings did not have many people.
This principle had never changed.
For example, the morning court session.
There were at least thousands of officials in the capital, and at least one-third of them had to attend the morning court. There were at least hundreds of them.
With so many people attending court, it was just a formality.
What kind of national affairs could be decided in the morning court?!
Nonsense!
Therefore, other than the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there was no rule of morning court every day in the past dynasties.
For example, in the Tang Dynasty and Song Dynasty, they only had to go to court on the first and fifteenth day of the month.
However, because Zhu Yuanzhang was a famous model emperor, he changed the rule of attending the morning court on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month to one every day.
If he was not in the capital, the Crown Prince would oversee the country and attend the court in his place.
Follow the example of those above.
Therefore, the local governments had similar procedures.
That was, the official of the seal (first-in-command) had to gather the officials of the yamen and the petty officials for a meeting every morning to listen to the work reports of his subordinates and arrange the deployment of work matters, etc.
However, there were not many people in the local government, so the efficiency was even higher than the morning court session.
This was one of the reasons why Ye Jin hated meetings, but he still called his subordinates for a morning meeting every day.
However, the morning meeting in Shangyuan County didn't last long. It usually only lasted for an incense stick to burn.
If there was something urgent, it could be extended appropriately.
Of course, if there were no major or minor matters, they could also accept the kowtow of their subordinates and announce the end of the meeting.
Today's morning meeting was not long, only the time for an incense stick to burn.
Ye Jin glanced at the sunlight outside the house and took another sip of tea. He waved his hand and said to everyone,"Today's assembly (meeting) will end like this. All departments should fulfill their duties and not slack off. If anyone doesn't work hard, they will be punished according to the reward and punishment system.”
"This lowly one will obey the orders of the county.”Under the lead of the official, the thirty people in the hall either bowed or kowtowed to Ye Jin.
"Everyone, disperse." Ye Jin waved his hand, and these people dispersed one by one.
After these people left, he returned to the backyard of the county government.
At this moment, Chan Chan had already prepared a piping hot breakfast.
Seeing that Ye Jin had returned, she quickly scooped a bowl of porridge for him and brought over a few meat buns and some salted vegetables.
Ye Jin didn't say any more nonsense and directly began to eat heartily.
After the meal, he kissed the little girl and changed the seventh-grade official robe embroidered with mandarin ducks into the green robe worn by ordinary scholars. Then, he hurried out of the door.
He had a full schedule for the day, so he didn't have extra time to do things that everyone loved to do with the pretty and cute little servant girls in the backyard.
As soon as they left the county office, there were already a few constables waiting at the entrance.
These people weren't wearing constable uniforms, but casual clothes like Ye Jin.
When they saw Ye Jin leave the county office, they all came over to greet him.
Ye Jin didn't waste any more time with them. He rode a black-maned horse led by a constable and led the constable towards the city gate.
The early Ming Dynasty was different from the middle and late Ming Dynasty. The imperial court did not lack horses.
In fact, during the previous northern expeditions, the imperial court had organized tens of thousands of cavalry.
Not only were they stronger than the Mengyuan cavalry, but they also had the advantage in numbers.
It was hard to imagine that the cavalrymen of the Central Plains Dynasty were more numerous and of higher quality than the cavalrymen of the nomads.
However, this was only in the early Ming Dynasty.
A few decades later, the Ming War God Zhu Qizhen personally led his troops to attack Wala and was completely annihilated in the Tumu Fortress Rebellion.
Not only had he been captured by the Wala, but he had also lost all the elites of the Ming army in one battle.
From then on, the Great Ming Cavalry completely withdrew from the stage of history.
Even though there were occasionally Great Ming cavalry galloping through the desert, it was only a flash in the pan.
Therefore, the Great Ming War God single-handedly established the weakness of Great Ming's combat strength in the middle and late stages. It could be said that his contribution could not be ignored!!!
Cough cough!
He had gone off topic.
After Ye Jin left the city, he released the reins and galloped.
The destination of his trip was about ten miles away from the county town. If he galloped on his horse, he would arrive in about 20 minutes.
After a while, he reined in the reins and gradually slowed down the black-maned horse.
Then, he left the main road and continued to walk along a small path.
After walking for a few minutes, the group finally arrived at a small valley.
The entrance to the valley was blocked by a tall wall, leaving only a gate for people to enter and exit.
At this moment, there were more than a dozen soldiers standing on the wall with weapons in their hands. However, their faces were covered by black veils, and they were vigilantly observing the situation around them.
It could be seen that this valley was heavily guarded.
However, when the soldiers on the wall saw Ye Jin, their originally cold eyes became very fanatical and worshipful.
The wooden door slowly opened, and a man with a black veil covering his face walked out from the wall.
When he saw Ye Jin, he immediately knelt down and said respectfully,"County Lord."
Ye Jin dismounted and helped the man up.
Then, he turned around and said to the constable behind him,"Wait for me here. I'll be back soon.”
"Yes." The constables quickly cupped their hands and accepted the order.
Only then did Ye Jin enter the valley with this strange man.
What he didn't know was that there was someone behind him who was looking at his back with a puzzled gaze.
