Shen Ruhui finally agreed to Zhao Zhongyu.
So, Zhao Zhongyu started arranging his departure. Of course, it wasn't just him; besides him, there were two of Shen Ruhui's subordinates, a Water Department official named Cao Ping, making it a total of four people, including their families and servants.
Aside from Shen Ruhui, who only had one servant, the others brought their families, but servants were scarce. Two families didn't even have any servants and relied on themselves for daily living.
Their official positions were minor, and they were in departments like the Ministry of Agriculture and the Water Department, which had no work to do. The emperor didn't remember them, and since the palace was not yet built, they didn't even have an office to report to, so there was no place for them to check in.
They only got to meet their colleagues once a month when they received their grain salaries and got some internal news.
