Chapter 221: Laughing Proudly
Chen Ju never gave any special approval to anyone. He himself was not familiar with government affairs, so he never cared about any political affairs. At most, he would occasionally give some advice to future generations.

As for how each department performs, let them decide for themselves.

In fact, Chen Gu wanted to go to the front line to fight, especially after he learned that Yunhua had captured Fengjie and had begun to advance towards Hubei, he wanted to go and take a look, but unfortunately he knew he couldn't leave.

Although he was not familiar with government affairs, after the whole Sichuan was conquered, he had to stay in Chongqing for a period of time, not to do anything, but to suppress all evil spirits.

As long as Chen Gu is in Chongqing, no one dares to act rashly. Everyone will act more cautiously, cooperation between departments will be smoother, and efficiency will be higher.

After all, if anyone dares to do anything tricky, such as deliberately delaying or making things difficult for others, he has to think about whether he will be reported to Chen Gu, whether Chen Gu will think that you are not good enough, and whether he will consider replacing you.

Anyway, the Huaxia Department is just a makeshift team now, and it doesn't matter who is missing. After taking over the entire Sichuan Province, even if the ten major clans in Jiangjin County are collectively replaced, Chen Gu will not be afraid.

After all, with the entire Sichuan as his foundation, there are many people who are willing to serve Chen Gui and want to gamble their future with him.

Let alone the wealthy and powerful, Chen Gu has more than enough scholars from ordinary families to use.

When he was in Luzhou before, Bian Shichun said that there were not so many teachers. Now the teachers in each town have been replaced by people who have taken the student examination.

Generally speaking, those who can take the examination for students, regardless of whether they pass the examination for scholars or not, are more or less people with some knowledge.

Moreover, many people's knowledge is not as good as that of those who passed the examination to become a scholar. After all, the title of scholar is actually inflated. Among the scholars in each county, the largest proportion of them are definitely from wealthy families.

"Our officials are of varying quality. Now that we control the entire Sichuan, shouldn't we hold an imperial examination to formally select a group of officials?" asked the sour scholar.

Chen Gu thought for a moment and said, "Let's leave the clerk matters to the departments of each prefecture and county to handle. As for the officials, we can try to recruit a group of them, but each department will set the questions, and the Organization Department will select the best candidates after the exam."

"The various departments, prefectures and counties under the power?" asked the sour scholar with a frown.

"That's right!" Chen Gu nodded and said with a smile: "As long as the Organization Department is involved, it will be fine. As for whether the existing officials are qualified, it will be up to you to measure them."

"Does my record department have such responsibilities?" Suan Xiucai asked in surprise.

"Haha, didn't you just tell me that officials are of mixed quality?" Chen Jue said with a smile, "Since we know that officials are of mixed quality, then we should pick out the good ones, evaluate and promote them, and pick out the bad ones and throw them away!"

"Isn't it a bad idea to fire him directly?" asked the sour scholar.

"There's nothing wrong with it. An official needs to be responsible for countless people. If he is incompetent, he must be replaced. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, countless people will suffer. How can we tolerate them!" Chen Gu said affirmatively.

The sour scholar nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll discuss it with Han Yuanxiao first!
By the way, Qing'er asked me to pick a few names for the prince in advance. Take a look and use them if you like them. If not, think of one yourself!"

As the sour scholar spoke, he handed Chen Kui a piece of paper with a dozen names written on it.

Chen Gu put the paper away and said, "Wait for Qing'er to make her own choice."

Chen Gu felt that the name was not that important. It was fine as long as it was almost the same. It would be the same once you got used to calling it.

After sending Suan Xiucai and the others away, Chen Jue came to the bedroom with the paper. Wu Qing'er had a brocade handkerchief tied on her forehead, and her face was still a little pale, but there was joy in her eyes, and she looked at her son with a proud look on her face.

"Master, look how handsome our son is!" Wu Qing'er said to Chen Gu as if she was presenting a treasure.

Chen Gu nodded and handed the paper in his hand to Wu Qing'er.

"You can choose one of the names the master gave to his son!" Chen Gu said as he looked at the little guy.

In this world, Chen Gu was lonely and even had a feeling that it was unreal. But when he saw the little life in front of him, the feeling was completely different, as if the hazy black and white world suddenly had color and the whole world became alive.

If Chen Gu had been given a chance to return to the modern era, he would definitely have hesitated. Although there was nothing worth remembering in the afterlife for him, he still had the urge to go back.

But if Chen Gu is given another chance to go back now, he will choose to stay without hesitation and stay in this world.

Chen Gu was very cautious towards this little life. He was even afraid of hurting him and did not dare to pick him up. Even if he wanted to touch him, he would extend his fingers carefully.

The little guy was only one day old but he had already opened his eyes. He happened to be awake at this moment. Such a small baby would not be able to see even with his eyes open. But when Chen Gu touched his little face, the little guy actually smiled.

Although it was an ugly smile, it was indeed a smile, and Chen Gu couldn't help but laugh.

Wu Qing'er, who was choosing a name for the little guy, looked at this scene and couldn't help but put down the paper and said, "Why not call him Chen Xiao? What do you think?"

"That's fine, it's just a little bit feminine!" Chen Gu said with a smile.

Although Chen Gu said it was a bit feminine, Wu Qing'er could see that Chen Gu accepted the name, and that was enough. This name would allow Chen Gu to recall this scene from time to time in the future.

In this way, Chen Gu should be more tolerant of his son in the future and give him more opportunities, which is something that no good name can compare to.

"Then our son will be called Chen Xiao from now on, and his nickname will be Xiaoxiao!" Wu Qing'er affirmed.

"Then it will be more like a girl." Chen Gu thought for a moment and said, "Let's add a tougher name and call him Chen Xiaoao."

"Laughing Proudly?" Wu Qing'er was stunned for a moment, then said, "That's good, then let's call it Laughing Proudly, Laughing Proudly at the kings and princes, Laughing Proudly at the world."

"Do you need a wet nurse?" asked Chen Gu.

Wu Qing'er straightened her chest and said, "No, at least not for now. I will feed him myself first. When Xiaoao grows up, if he doesn't have enough to eat, I can hire a wet nurse for him."

But Wu Qing'er knew that children would be very close to their wet nurses, maybe even closer than to their biological mothers. Wu Qing'er absolutely did not want that to happen.

She must raise her son by herself, especially since he is her eldest son and also Chen Gu's eldest son.
