278 Therefore, Xiaohu usually lives in the guard room in the outer courtyard.
We have said before that there are three rooms in the outer courtyard, including the accounting office, commuter room, and guard room.
Xiaohu usually lives in the guard room.
In addition, Chen Jie replaced the people in the accounting office and checked the accounts frequently. The last time he checked the iron mine, he found that there was false accounting in the accounting office. However, he was not the head of the White Tiger Hall at that time, so it was not easy for him to intervene too much.
Now it has been directly changed, and then there is the commuter room, which is in charge of the procurement of materials within the gang. It is a lucrative position. Chen Jie originally wanted to let Uncle Zhong come.
Unfortunately, Uncle Zhong was reluctant to leave his hometown and was unwilling to leave Xiantao Village. Chen Jie had no choice but to let Xiaohu take over temporarily.
But his account, well, his talent in martial arts is just as high as his math ability is poor, there is no way, Chen Jie wants to let Zhou Chu do it part-time.
Zhou Chu immediately waved his hand and said, "Master, please forgive me. I can't handle the affairs outside the hall. Please ask someone else to take care of the affairs inside the hall."
There was no way. Chen Jie also had a headache because of the shortage of manpower.
The disadvantage of having been in power for a short time has become apparent. There are not enough talented people. If my wife's school is opened, there will be no shortage of such talents in internal affairs in the future.
But the situation is rather special now. It is not easy to find someone who can read and write and is good at dealing with people.
But at this moment, his wife proposed a candidate to him. After hearing this, Chen Jie scowled and did not look very happy.
"My lady, although this person is talented, but..."
The lady looked at Chen Jie and smiled, "My husband, the book says that those who achieve great things must be tolerant and tolerant. When Zhou Gong spits out food for his guests, the whole world will be at peace. We cannot discard him just because he temporarily follows the wrong master."
"I asked Brother Zhou about it. After Feng Xuan came to power, this person was marginalized by Feng Xuan because he was dissatisfied with what Feng Xuan did. He had been idle at home until you sent people to arrest him."
Chen Jie looked at Su Yunjin after hearing this. Su Yunjin smiled and said, "Master, I don't know too many important things, but I know a few anecdotes. Zhang Liao, the general during the Three Kingdoms period, originally followed Lu Bu. Later, Cao Cao recruited him under his command. That's when he fought the Battle of Xiaoyaojin, became famous all over the world, and made great contributions to Cao Wei."
"During the Tang Dynasty, Wei Zheng was originally a member of the crown prince's old party. Later, he even offered to kill Li Shimin. However, after Li Shimin surrendered without holding grudges, Wei Zheng became the most loyal minister of the Tang Dynasty and a famous minister of his generation. Therefore, those who want to achieve great things should not lose sight of the big picture because of small things."
"I know that you hate Feng Xuan for being ungrateful and killing your adoptive father. I also know that you hate evil and will avenge it. But you, to accomplish great things, must overcome your anger. You can be angry with him or hate him, but if you can forgive him, you will surely win his heart and gain a talent."
Su Yunjin gently persuaded Chen Jie.
Chen Jie looked at Su Yunjin and said, "So my lady thinks I should forgive him?"
Su Yunjin said: "There is no such thing as forgiveness. It's just a meritorious service for his crime. That's all. If he can't do his job as the logistics manager, you can kill him."
After hearing this, Chen Jie thought for a moment and said, "Forget it, I'll just listen to what my lady says."
Just like that, under Su Yunjin's persuasion, Chen Jie gave this guilty man a chance. This man was also an acquaintance, and was one of the two trump cards in Feng Xuan's hand at the time, Si Xi, the Si Xi of making a fortune.
Si Xi followed Feng Xuan because Feng Xuan advocated loyalty and righteousness at that time.
He followed Feng Xuan because of his loyalty, and left Feng Xuan because of his loyalty.
Feng Xuan's disloyalty and injustice made him feel ashamed, so after Feng Xuan obtained the position of the leader of the White Tiger Hall, he tried to admonish him many times, but in the end he was alienated from him. He simply demoted him to the lowest position and no longer used him. Then Chen Jie killed Feng Xuan, and captured him when he was clearing out Feng Xuan's remaining followers.
He was originally going to be killed, but at this time of needing people, and with the persuasion of his wife, Chen Jie finally decided to use Si Xi.
However, he also sent two trusted confidants to watch him and report his movements at any time.
And Si Xi was indeed a capable person. After he took on the role of logistics manager, the entire logistics system started to operate at a rapid speed, making Chen Jie's dispatching in an orderly manner. Chen Jie even sighed that what a talent!
It was precisely because of his cooperation that Zhou Chu's arrangement of the venue reached a new level.
Check for omissions and fill in the gaps.
"Master!"
Chen Jie was getting dressed when Xiaohu walked in.
Since Chen Jie took over as the hall master, the way his subordinates address him has changed.
For example, Zhou Chu, who used to call himself Jiusi, now always addresses himself as Tangzhu. The respect for hierarchy is ingrained in his bones. Although Xiaohu occasionally calls himself Brother Jiusi, most of the time he calls himself Tangzhu.
When working, it is called position.
"Um?"
Chen Jie turned to look at Xiao Hu, only to see that he was also wearing new clothes today and looked very energetic. At this time, he said to Chen Jie: "Master, the guards have been arranged. I checked the security of the White Tiger Hall three times today and found no blind spots."
"Yeah, very good."
Chen Jie nodded, and Xiao Hu continued, "Chu Zhou just told me that the guests have arrived one after another, and some of them need you to greet them in person."
"Yes, I'll be there right away."
Chen Jie nodded and said.
At this time, Su Yunjin had almost finished tidying up.
The two maids Yin Hongmei and Cui Ju also straightened the hem of Chen Jie's clothes.
The clothes Chen Jie wore today were very elegant. The whole surface was black silk, with ferocious beasts embroidered on it with gold thread. He looked solemn and dignified, and had an extraordinary demeanor.
Just this one piece of clothing cost a total of fifty taels of silver, of which the gold thread was made from two taels of gold.
This piece of clothing is enough to support an ordinary family's food for several years. This is the enjoyment of the superiors.
If he was still farming and practicing medicine in Xiantao Village, he might not earn fifty taels in a year or even two years, let alone be so extravagant as to spend fifty taels on a piece of clothing.
But now he can wear this dress at will.
Of course, Chen Jie would not wear this kind of clothes normally. This kind of clothes is more of a formal dress. On weekdays, he still likes to wear that kind of loose martial arts uniform.
Su Yunjin straightened Chen Jie's collar, looked at him from top to bottom and said, "Well, it's OK."
Chen Jie said: "This dress is really troublesome to wear."
Su Yunjin smiled and said, "If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight. Your husband's status is different now. For such formal occasions, there are naturally rules for dressing."
Chen Jie smiled bitterly and said, "Are the rules so strict for a mere White Tiger Hall Master?"
Su Yunjin said, "Haha, the White Tiger Hall Master is not insignificant in the eyes of many people. If you were to rank them, you would be in the top ten in this county of more than 100,000 people. Wouldn't that still make you a big shot?"
Chen Jie shook his head and said, "I won't argue with you. I find that you are also very eloquent now, my lady."
"Haha, no way. I can say these words because my husband is an open-minded person. If my husband doesn't want me to say it, I will never say such words."
After hearing this, Chen Jie said, "Well, if you are willing to talk, then say more. Hearing both sides will lead to enlightenment, while hearing only one side will lead to ignorance. You asked me to put aside the past grudges and use Si Xi. Now it seems that this is a good idea."
Su Yunjin said: "I didn't ask my husband to use it, but my husband was willing to give him a chance. This just proves that my husband has great ambitions and tolerance. This has nothing to do with me."
Upon hearing this, Chen Jie looked at his young lady and said with a smile, "Madam?"
"Um?"
Su Yunjin looked at Chen Jie.
"I find that you are much more cheerful and smarter now than before. Sometimes your suggestions are refreshing to me."
Chen Jie praised.
Su Yunjin said, "I used to dig wild vegetables, do needlework, and cook in the village. I didn't need to be too smart. But now my husband asked me to do management work. I found that some of the sage books I learned from my father when I was a child can be used, so I said some words from the books. If I say that I have become smarter now, maybe my husband is the mentor. Without my husband, I might still be the foolish woman in the village, a jinx!"
After hearing this, Chen Jie looked at the young lady whom he had trained and felt very proud.
At this time, he turned to look at the other two maids and said, "Hongmei, you two take Madam into the house to change into new clothes. Today is a festive day and we cannot wear ordinary clothes."
"yes."
Hongmei and Cuiju immediately took Su Yunjin to dress up.
At this time, Chen Jie followed Xiaohu out of the yard.
Then I saw that everyone outside the hospital was busy.
"Hurry up, fry the pork until it's half cooked, and then put it in the pan to fry it until it's sugar-colored when we're ready to eat."
"Yes, yes, why are the fish of different sizes? These ones are too big. Change them to ones that weigh one and a half kilograms. Clean them up immediately, then fry them, and pour the sweet and sour sauce on them when the customers come."
"The one moving the table over there should be gentler. Move those two tables inwards so that you can't see the high platform anymore."
"Yes, the lantern next to the word righteousness on the platform is tilted to the left. It's crooked, crooked!"
"And you guys, when guests come, serve the fruits first, then the candied desserts to fill their mouths, and finally the hot dishes."
"And you, leave this first row alone. Lord Darughachi is coming today, so the center of the first row should be reserved for him..."
When Chen Jie came out, he saw Zhou Chu who was busy like a top.
At this time, Zhou Chu, who had just recovered from his injury, seemed to be in high spirits.
A lot of good things have been happening recently, and Zhou Chu feels that he has reached the highlight of his life.
First of all, his status was upgraded. He went from being a marginal figure to becoming the most sought-after manager of the outer courtyard of the White Tiger Hall. Now he had to manage almost all industries by himself. His status rose rapidly and he became the second most important person in the White Tiger Hall.
Then his strength also improved. Chen Jie gave him two bone-strengthening pills at once. His talent was not as good as Xiaohu's, and he broke through with just one pill. However, with the effect of the two bone-strengthening pills, he successfully entered the Iron Bone Realm.
And Chen Jie was very kind. While his strength was improving, he gave Zheng Chuan's mansion to himself.
He used to live under someone else's roof, at his father-in-law's house, but now his father-in-law's house is not as grand as his new home!
The improvement of his social status, the rapid growth of his own strength, and the sharp increase in economic conditions, all these conditions added together mean a rapid rise in his family status.
In the past, he was a useless son-in-law at home.
Both the elder brother-in-law and the younger brother-in-law looked down on him. Even his father-in-law, Sun Buer, looked down on him to some extent. After all, everything Zhou Chu had at that time was given by their Sun family.
These things made Zhou Chu unable to hold his head up. Even if his family members did not say anything extreme, he still felt ashamed of himself and belittled himself.
At that time, everyone in the mansion really thought that he was a gigolo.
But since he followed Chen Jiusi until today, Zhou Chu has stood up.
In the past, he would come home late after doing work, and his family would not wait for him for dinner, but now, if he doesn't come home, the Sun family won't serve dinner.
In the past, when the servants of the Sun family saw Zhou Chu, they would greet him, but the contempt in their eyes was hard to conceal. Now, when Zhou Chu returned home, all the servants greeted him from the bottom of their hearts. Some even tried to get close to him and wanted to get their relatives into the White Tiger Hall, but were all rejected by Zhou Chu.
In the past, my elder brother-in-law and younger brother-in-law didn't take me seriously when they saw me. But now, no matter it is my elder brother-in-law or younger brother-in-law, when they see me, they have to call me: brother-in-law (brother-in-law).
Even my own wife treats me differently.
In the past, he had to prepare water for his wife to wash her feet at home, but ever since Chen Jie promoted him and gave him the Zheng family's big house, his fierce wife has become well-behaved.
Last night she actually took the initiative to prepare water for me to wash my feet. It was so cool to see her squatting down to wash my feet.
Zhou Chu understood that everything he had today was given to him by the Jiu Si brothers, so his gratitude to Chen Jie was beyond words.
Now he was in high spirits, busying around like a top. When he saw Chen Jie coming out, he immediately smiled and said, "Master,"
Chen Jie said: "Oh, Lao Zhou, you are in good spirits."
Zhou Chu laughed and said, "Hahaha, you don't know, my wife made me some foot-washing water yesterday and washed my feet for me."
