Zhang Yaozuo reported in and was taken to see Bao Zheng. Bao Zheng explained the rules of Kaifeng Prefecture very honestly, which made Zhang Yaozuo unbelievable.
It would be fine if a government office turned the whole place into a vegetable garden, but it even asked officials of all ranks to grow vegetables. Zhang Yaozuo was about to ask for a long vacation, but Bao Zheng said meaningfully that he had consulted the government and if there was no major problem, it would be best not to ask for leave.
---If you ask for leave, it means you admit that you are not in good health. Since you are not in good health, you should not come out to work in the future.
Zhang Yaozuo shuddered and dared not ask for leave.
But if you don't ask for leave, there are only two things you can do: either you work as a magistrate and learn how to try cases, or you can grow vegetables.
