The cold wind blows slowly, and a light snowfall has been falling for several days, and it shows no sign of stopping.

Looking around, today's Mirror City is already completely white as far as the eye can see.

Watching the snowflakes falling on his palm slowly melting into water.

Luo Ji exhaled a breath of white air, then rubbed his slightly cold palms.

"Lu Yang, how is the recruitment of people responsible for shoveling snow?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Personnel Department has sent the list over. According to Your Majesty's wishes, I will send it to you after I have reviewed it."

"Thank you for your hard work," Luo Ji responded casually.

"By the way, remember to tell them that in addition to the snow on the streets, the snow on the roofs should also be cleared in time to avoid accumulation of more snow, which may cause some danger."

"Yes, Wei Chen will give the order now."

Lu Yang was very efficient in doing things. After a quick trip to the personnel department, when he came back, he already had an extra document in his hand.

"Your Majesty, the secretary's office has made time adjustments and work schedules after winter. I took it over and asked Your Majesty to take a look."

Taking the report from Lu Yang, Luo Ji read through it leisurely.

After winter comes, the days become shorter and the temperature drops.

Luo Ji instructed his subordinates to appropriately reduce the working hours of various industries and departments and make adjustments.

This thing seems very simple, but in fact it is extremely complicated.

It's not just Luo Ji who just said, "From today on, all walks of life and all departments will only work eight hours."

Because there are many factors to consider here.

Take the coal mining plant as an example.

Coal can be said to be an important heating fuel for the entire civilization after winter.

Each coal mine may have to dig out several tons of coal every day to meet the heating needs of an entire civilization.

In this case, you ask the coal mine to work only eight hours a day.

What if the supply of coal mines cannot keep up?

Therefore, even if working hours need to be adjusted, they must be adjusted one by one according to resource needs.

It is necessary to appropriately adjust working hours while maintaining adequate supply of various resources.

Instead of just closing your eyes and talking casually.

In order to do this, you must first calculate the demand and consumption of various resources after winter.

Then go to each work station to confirm the production efficiency one by one, and finally make reasonable time adjustments, which is very cumbersome.

So when the matter was being arranged, Luo Ji himself breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, he didn't need to deal with such a troublesome matter personally.

After quickly confirming the adjustment arrangements, Luo Ji handed the document to Lu Yang again.

"Lu Yang, this matter is very important. Just in case, you should check it again. After checking, just send it directly. It will be officially implemented from next week."

"Yes, I will obey your orders."

After one thing was arranged, before Luo Ji could take a breath, a guard quickly ran in from outside...

"Your Majesty, Zhao Lei, deputy director of the Ordnance Research Department, would like to see you."

"Zhao Lei?"

Luo Ji raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Tell him to come in."

Luo Ji naturally recognized the deputy director of the Ordnance Research Department.

It's just that Zhao Lei usually doesn't run towards him.

Normally, research funds, research materials, tools, etc. are all handled by specialized departments. Why do we need to come to him?

Just as Luo Ji's thoughts were whirling, Zhao Lei walked in quickly.

The wooden plate held in his hand caught his attention at a glance.

"Zhao Lei, why do you want to see me this time?"

"Reporting to your Majesty, this humble minister is here under the entrustment of the minister."

"What did you, Minister Ye, do again?"

Hearing this, Luo Ji's decisive tone showed an obvious headache.

For this reason, Zhao Lei also had a wry smile on his face.

Even he, who is the deputy minister, cannot deny that their minister Ye Xuan is a troublemaker.

Let’s not talk about the distance, let’s just talk about the past two days...

When their leader was testing the improved three-bow bed crossbow, he failed to control the accuracy and accidentally collapsed the wall of the construction engineering department next door...

Recently, the construction and engineering department has been extremely busy due to the Qingshui City project, almost every day.

Minister He Shu's head is almost bald.

When I came back, I found that the wall of my department's courtyard had collapsed.

The old minister was so angry that he almost fainted on the spot.

Damn, the workload has increased again!!

When he thought of this, the old minister He Shuna burst into tears and ran to Luo Ji crying.

Impeaching Xuan Ye is probably useless.

After all, everyone knows Xuan Ye’s contribution.

At the same time, the most important thing is that what Xuan Ye can do may not be possible for another person.

This outstanding ability gives her a relatively transcendent status among the civilizations of all worlds.

But it’s okay to cry miserably.

As the minister of the Construction Engineering Department, He Shu’s contribution to civilization in all worlds is undoubted.

He is fully worthy of the words ‘hard work pays off’.

Plus I'm older.

When he cried, it gave Luo Ji a headache.

While promising to quickly send more manpower to their construction engineering department, he showered them with rewards.

At the same time, he also symbolically threw the troublemaker Ye Xuan into the office of the Ordnance Research Department and locked him up in confinement for a month.

Although the last one was meaningless, it finally appeased the old minister.

We haven't had peace for a few days yet. If something happens again...

Luo Ji felt that his mentality might explode.

As if he understood the meaning in Luo Ji's eyes, Zhao Lei quickly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Then he opened the cloth covering the wooden plate and presented the contents of the wooden plate with both hands.

"The minister said that the sleeve arrows mentioned before are ready and I want Wei Chen to send them over."

When Luo Ji heard that he was not causing trouble, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

If a few more old ministers come to him and cry and scream, he won't be able to bear it.

"Bring it up."

He motioned to the guard beside him to take out the sleeve arrow.

After receiving the finished product, Luo Ji looked at it and asked casually, "Why doesn't she..."

Midway through his words, Luo Ji's voice stopped.

I originally wanted to ask, 'Why didn't she get it herself?'

Then I thought about it, that girl Xuan Ye was imprisoned for a month by him.

How many days have passed now?

But for Xuan Ye, this is indeed not a punishment.

Because even if you don't shut her down, she usually stays in her office doing research for ten and a half days, and doesn't like to go outside at all.

Luo Ji specifically added this line at that time just to calm down the old minister.

Who would have thought that this time, she would really be imprisoned...
