Li Yanqing also knew that this beauty was a little dissatisfied with him, but he also understood that if it was a gift from himself, others would put it away without looking at it, and he would be angry.

But why aren't you interested? He thought about it, probably because he thought that Cao Yun was still a ten-year-old girl, so he was not interested, if he had known that it was such a beautiful beauty, how could he appreciate it.

Li Yanqing smiled self-deprecatingly, and left the study to the front yard......

Cao Yun took her sister back to the inner courtyard, Cao Jiaojiao broke free of her hand, ran to her room to paste couplets, Cao Jiaojiao is still young, still living with her parents, until she is fourteen years old will have her own independent embroidery building.

Cao Yun returned to her study, and saw at a glance the couplet written by Li Yanqing for her, which was carefully framed by her, and she didn't feel a little sorry in her heart, after all, Li Yanqing wrote two couplets for her, and also gave herself 658 books, just with this favor of sending books, she shouldn't be so rude to others.

Although Cao Yun also knew that Li Yanqing was more honest and not like other children of the family who blew up in order to make themselves happy, Li Yanqing actually didn't take what she gave him seriously, and this contempt hurt her self-esteem a little.

She wanted to apologize, but the girl's reserve told her that if she did that, she would be even more despised by him, so Cao Yun had to sigh and sit sullenly in the study reading a book.

She generally doesn't go to the Cao family banquet, not because it is inconvenient for a woman to show up, the Northern Song Dynasty has no such restrictions, it is normal for young men and women to travel together and drink and feast together, until the Ming Dynasty was prosperous, and it began to have a great restriction on women's personal freedom.

Cao Yun naturally likes to be quiet and does not like to be noisy, she likes to stay in her study and read quietly, and does not like to go to banquets to socialize.

At this moment, my sister's exclamation came from the courtyard, "Big Scholar Niang, come quickly!" Come on! ”

Cao Yun was suddenly startled, and hurriedly got up and ran to the yard, only to see Jiaojiao standing in the yard looking up at something?

"What's all the fuss?"

"Look, it's snowing!" Cao Jiaojiao pointed to the sky and said in surprise.

Cao Yun looked up, only to see a crystal snowflake fluttering from the gloomy sky, she was surprised in her heart, and hurriedly reached out to catch the snowflake, the snowflake melted in her hand, at this time, more and more snowflakes fell from the sky, Cao Jiaojiao raised her hands on the ground in a circle, stretched out her tongue to lick the cold snowflakes, and giggled happily.

Cao Yun was in a good mood, and couldn't help but smile, and a little depression in her heart was melted by this piece of crystal snowflakes.

The snow became heavier and heavier, and soon the sky became blurry, and the first snow of the second year of Xuanhe came on the 10th day of the 10th month of December.

．．．．．．．．

The heavy snowfall began in the afternoon and continued all night, and it did not end until dawn the next day, and the entire capital became a snowy world, and the houses, streets, bridges, trees, etc. were covered with a thick white snow like foam, and after dawn, the capital became a paradise for children.

Snowball fights, snowman building, sledding..... There is laughter everywhere, but for the people at the bottom who want to make a living, the snow has undoubtedly increased the difficulty of their lives, making their work more difficult, and of course, there are also some industries that have benefited, such as the ox cart industry in the city, almost every ox cart is full of pedestrians.

As far as Li Yanqing is concerned, today is not affected by the weather, yesterday afternoon there was a decree in the palace, appointing Dazai Fan Zhixu as the supervisor of the Zhijun, this morning, Li Yanqing, who had just arrived at the Yushitai, received a notice ordering him to report to the Zuozheng Building in Xishangshu Province.

At the beginning of the founding of the Song Dynasty, the imperial court only retained the organizational system of Shangshu Province in form, but it had no power itself, and Lang officials did not care about things, but they were only used to send Lu officials, and there was no other sending, and the system of Shangshu Province existed in name only.

But after the reform of Yuanfeng, the power gradually returned to the six departments of Shangshu, so a new Shangshu Province was built in the imperial city, which was convenient for the concentration of power, and the old Shangshu Province was used as the treasury of Shangshu Province and the land of some temporary institutions.

The full name of the left government building is called the left government affairs building, it and the middle government hall, the right government building constitutes the main structure of Shangshu Province, the building is three floors high, there are nearly 100 rooms around it, covering an area of 50 acres.

In the council hall on the first floor of the Zuozheng Building, officials from the Imperial History Observatory, the Privy Council and the Ministry of War have been in place, there are currently only nine officials in charge, and each agency has sent a chief envoy and two deputy envoys, the chief envoy of the Imperial History Observatory is Li Yanqing, and there are two other supervising imperial historians as deputy envoys, the chief envoy of the Privy Council is named Li Hui, the official is the privy council of the sixth product, the chief envoy of the military department is called Jiang Ying, and the official is appointed as the military department of the Ministry of Justice, and he is also the sixth product.

At this time, footsteps sounded, and I saw Prime Minister Fan Zhixu walking into the council hall quickly, followed by two entourages, and everyone got up and bowed, "See Xiangguo!" ”

Fan Zhixu waved his hand and smiled: "Colleagues, please take a seat!" ”

Everyone sat down one after another, and at this time, Li Yanqing was surprised to find that one of the two entourages behind Fan Zhixu turned out to be Qin Hui, Qin Hui also saw Li Yanqing, and nodded to Li Yanqing with a smile.

Is he going to join the military prison too? Li Yanqing thought secretly in his heart, he was really puzzled, Qin Hui was too learned and righteous, and had nothing to do with the military prison, how could he catch Fan Zhixu's line?

Fan Zhixu smiled and said to everyone: "Today, even if the military prison is officially established, the prime minister is entrusted by the Son of Heaven to serve as the governor, and I will be responsible for the military prison after that, and together with all my colleagues, I will earnestly perform the duties of the military prison, the full name of the military prison is called the military supervision office, which is mainly responsible for supervising the logistics and military preparation and transportation of the Northern Expedition, and the army has nothing to do with us. Now let's talk about the composition of the military prison and its main officials. ”

Fan Zhixu turned his head and made a look, Qin Hui and another attendant immediately took out a rather large scroll and hung it on the discussion board, the scroll was plain white silk cloth, and the structure of the military prison was drawn on it.

Fan Zhixu picked up a small stick and stepped forward and said: "The composition of the military supervision institute has been approved, so this is not a draft, but an official composition map, the chief officer is the supervisor of the army, and I am currently concurrently serving as it, and there are three supervision envoys below, currently served by Li Yanqing, the privy secretary, and Jiang Ying of the military department, and then there are six deputy envoys for supervision, two deputy envoys under each supervision envoy, and then fifteen are engaged below, and there are also a thousand troops. ”

Fan Zhixu saw that there was doubt in everyone's eyes, and said slowly: "Maybe everyone thinks it's strange, how can there be no triage by the three divisions?" Here I want to tell you that there are no three divisions of the Military Supervision Institute, and the reason why the Imperial Historical Observatory, the Privy Council, and the Military Department are jointly involved is actually a kind of distribution of power, and it is also a compromise to not let the supervisory power be exclusive to a certain ministry and temple, and it can also be said to be a kind of compromise. ”

Qin Hui and another entourage stepped forward and saluted everyone, Fan Zhixuan smiled and said, "Do you have any questions?" ”

"May I ask Fan Xiangguo, our official cabinet .......," Jiang Ying asked.

"The official room has been arranged, I will take you there later, such a big Zuo Zheng Building belongs to the prison military office, how can there be no official room?"

At this time, Li Yanqing asked: "Fan Xiangguo said just now that there are still a thousand troops ......."

Fan Zhixu smiled, "The army is necessary, you will go to the field to supervise, how can you do without the army, there are three hundred people in each division, and another hundred people belong to the Department of Internal Affairs, and the leader of the army is designated by yourself, so that it is easy to command." ”

"And when will you start monitoring?" Li Yanqing asked again.

"I have to wait for the Privy Council to gather the information of the armies from all over the country, I am afraid it will be too late this year, and it will be after the Shangyuan Festival next year at the earliest, during this time, you can prepare for the establishment of your own embassy, you can go to Zuozang, Taicang and the ordnance supervision warehouse to familiarize yourself with the storage situation, and understand the storage, transportation, transfer and other processes of materials, so that you can get started at any time when you receive the case next year."

Everyone heard that it would take at least more than a month to wait until after the Shangyuan Festival next year, and everyone showed helplessness on their faces, there was no way, they all knew that the officialdom of the Song Dynasty had always been inefficient, and it only took a month to build a new institution to operate, which was already very efficient.
