After Transmigration, Her Whole Family Are Villains

Chapter 268



Today.0

Mianmian made a schedule for herself.0

She decided to start working hard from today.0

First period, physical education.0

Usually PE isn't scheduled first thing.0

It is in kindergarten.0

After first grade, PE is usually third or fourth period.0

Or in the afternoon.0

Used by other teachers to occupy time.0

But when you make your own schedule, you naturally decide what classes to take.0

Early in the morning, Mianmian dragged Brother Chong to run laps in the courtyard.0

With three courtyards connected, running one lap was quite tiring.0

Zi Congheng: ...0

He felt that since moving into the Jiang family home, he had used up all his social and physical energy from the past dozen years.0

How could someone be so lively, so energetic, with so many ideas, constantly emerging.0

Today he forgot about his headache again.0

He was running with her in the courtyard.0

She said the wind would run backwards, and the scenery would retreat.0

"Brother, when you run, breathe in, breathe out, expel all the stagnant air from your lungs, breathe in fresh air, this way you'll have a healthy body."0

Her face was flushed from running.0

Her forehead hair was disheveled.0

She was dressed oddly, like clothes for digging in the ground, with legs and sleeves tied up. If one had to describe it, she looked like a frog spirit wearing clothes while lying down.3

But she was much prettier than a frog.0

Zi Congheng ran with her, running slowly, not fast.0

But the trees on both sides retreated, the lake retreated, the grass retreated.0

...0

There seemed to be a page in the "Palace Rules" that didn't quite fit.0

Jiang Changtian flipped back through it again.0

Back, back, back.0

He found it.0

Jiang Changtian opened it, read through it carefully again.0

Made notes.0

Closed it again.0

Moved on to the next book.0

To be honest, he was very grateful for Minister Lu's arrangement.0

He was also worried about being rash in the capital.0

Not understanding anything.0

Being able to read through the rules once was excellent.0

As long as you remember every rule, then use the rules wisely, and act within the scope of the rules, it's ideal.0

Right or wrong, it's clear at a glance.0

The first thing every official should do is thoroughly read various rules and laws.0

Just like in Ming County, they had constantly studied the "Penal Code" gifted by little He, until they could recite it backwards.3

After that, whatever they did, they had a basis.0

Even before killing someone, they would find proper evidence.0

Having just cause.0

This is the importance of studying.0

Even if they were rebels, they still operated according to the law.0

Now there were few ways to obtain books.0

So many palace rules, official rules, daily rules, all books that couldn't be found elsewhere.0

And now they were all given to him at once.0

Minister Lu was really looking after him as a newcomer.0

Jiang Changtian first read through everything once.0

Then he planned to read carefully again.0

He memorized while reading through.0

Then he found places that seemed somewhat inappropriate and made notes.0

When reading carefully, he thought about whether there were loopholes, no, ways to improve.0

Of course, he only kept the "ways to improve" in his mind, not writing them down.0

All in all, Jiang Changtian was a meticulous person.0

He especially liked rules, regulations and laws.0

Study thoroughly.0

Must study thoroughly.0

While he was immersed in the heaven of laws and regulations.0

He was interrupted.0

Official Chi, who had brought him many laws and regulations in the morning, said with a serious expression: "Lord Jiang, the Emperor summons you. As subjects, I'm sure you understand what can and cannot be said."0

Jiang Changtian nodded solemnly.0

Understood, after reading the rules all morning, he certainly wouldn't casually say anything treasonous.0

But you're a rank below me, according to Official Rule 29, Example 3, you should address me respectfully, bow, then speak of official business.0

But seeing the eunuch not far away, never mind.0

I'll teach you how to conduct yourself next time.0

Today we're busy.0

After seeing off Lord Jiang, Official Chi felt that the Imperial Secretary's gaze just now was a bit off.0

He was actually a bit depressed.0

He had strived for the position of Imperial Secretary for a long time.0

He had worked diligently for Minister Lu, running errands back and forth. He even rushed to help when Minister Lu's dog gave birth. Minister Lu had also hinted that he would help him fight for this position.3

As a result, it was suddenly occupied by some ignorant person from the countryside.0

Of course he didn't blame Minister Lu, he wouldn't dare.0

Naturally he could only blame this newcomer.0

Isn't it just because he has a handsome face.0

The handsome-faced Jiang Changtian followed the eunuch into the palace.0

He didn't speak to the eunuch, nor did he inquire about anything.0

Instead, he was silently reciting the palace rules.0

The eunuch actually wanted to talk.0

He was sent by Eunuch Liu.0

He wanted to curry favor.0

But since the Imperial Secretary didn't speak, he couldn't initiate conversation either.0

All the way to the palace.0

Imperial Secretary Jiang just walked carefully.0

He was memorizing the route.0

Looking at how many gates along the way.0

How many guards.0

He was looking for any loopholes.0

Then walked all the way to the palace, not encountering any palace maids or concubines on the way.0

The outer court and inner palace were separated.0

The inner palace was the Emperor's family quarters, they wouldn't wander out here.0

Imperial Secretary Jiang in his dark blue official robes walked slowly.0

The palace road was spacious.0

Passing through one yellow gate after another.0

Coming before the current Emperor.0

Inside seemed quite lively.0

Laughter could be heard.0

Unlike the tense and serious government offices.0

The palace was full of laughter, flowers, insects, fish and birds, with beautiful scenery.0

Jiang Changtian stood outside for a while.0

Then he was allowed to enter.0

After entering.0

He knelt and bowed.0

The Emperor said to rise, then he stood up.0

Actually, kneeling wasn't required in the earliest times.0

But the officials became too competitive.0

One batch of officials couldn't compete anymore, so they started competing in bodily etiquette.0

Kneeling and bowing, frequent kneeling and bowing, increases submissiveness.4

When someone is someone you have to kneel and bow to, you won't think of resisting, only of how to kneel and bow better.0

Not having seen Jiang the Second for several days, he still had that clear and kind face.0

The Emperor granted him a seat.0

Watching him sit upright, back straight, long hair over his shoulders, pleasing to the eye, indeed.0

His move to make him Imperial Secretary was excellent, disrupting Minister Lu and the others' plans, while also pleasing himself.0

Without saying anything, just looking at him felt comfortable.0

"What did Imperial Secretary Jiang do this morning?"0

Facing the Emperor, Jiang Changtian's gaze was clear as he earnestly replied: "This morning I was studying various rules, regulations, and laws."0

"How did your studies go?" the Emperor asked casually.0

"It was extremely beneficial. This subject believes everyone should thoroughly study these rules, regulations and laws. Without rules, there is no standard. For example, in interactions between officials, subordinates should be respectful to superiors, but not excessively fawning. Gifts between colleagues should not be overly lavish. When meeting the Emperor, one should be neatly dressed, neither servile nor arrogant. Guards on duty should be fully focused and not chat privately... and so on. If everyone could strictly abide by these, fulfill their duties, it would certainly reduce many unnecessary expenses and social obligations, improving work efficiency."0

In Jingzhou, Jiang Changtian had placed great emphasis on efficiency.0

Everyone would complete work ahead of schedule and over quota, still having at least eight days off each month.0

While working in the office, there would be no extra expenses, and even lunch and snack benefits.0

With more days off, people would go out and spend money. With more spending, money would circulate, and Jingzhou became very prosperous.0

The Emperor nodded unconsciously as he listened.0

He had originally thought this Jiang the Second would quietly badmouth Minister Lu to curry favor.0

After all, that was the advantage of being Imperial Secretary.0

A close minister to the Emperor, able to speak directly with him.0

Although he was slightly dissatisfied with old Lu, overall he was still pleased with him, otherwise he wouldn't have let him be Prime Minister for so many years.0

If you, as a newcomer, started badmouthing Minister Lu right away, it would show your character.0

Although the Emperor loved pleasure, he was not completely muddle-headed.0

But the expected badmouthing didn't come.0

This Jiang the Second was actually earnestly studying rules, regulations and laws, and even thought everyone should study them.0

How honest.0

Good, good, good.0

This suggestion wasn't bad.0

"Then you shall organize everyone to study the laws and regulations," the Emperor said.0

Jiang Changtian was very pleased.0

He stood up excitedly to express thanks.0

"Your subject accepts the decree!"0

He would make everyone in the court memorize all the laws, regulations and rules, with random checks at any time!!!3
