Jixianmen Chenggen Street, like Chenggen Street in most cities, you can see the dark city wall when you look up. Jixianmen is the north gate of Anqing. As a city in the south by the river, the north gate is relatively depressed, but in any case
It's in the city.
In the early morning, chickens crowed everywhere, and smoke drifted from the chimney next door, filling Wu Tac Choi's courtyard with the smell of firewood. Wu Tac Choi had just finished eating, and walked out of the main house with a cane, walked through the second entrance and walked to the outer entrance, and then again
I walked back backwards, and when I got to the main house, I turned around and walked out again. I looked at my new home with satisfaction, even though I had walked countless times yesterday.
There were many trips, but he still enjoyed it. There were several holes in the threshold of the third entrance, a door knocker fell off, at least a dozen tiles in the eaves of the second entrance were broken, two houses were leaking, and the kitchen lacked a large water tank and bellows.
The willow wood on the roof seemed to be broken. Wu Tat Choi looked at it as he walked.
There are flaws, but compared to this yard, these flaws are trivial. The important thing is that it needs to be a little official. Wu Tat Choi plans to build a pond in Sanjin with rockeries and fish in it. This is what the garrison has. Is there anything else needed?
Ng Tak-choi doesn't know about the things. After all, the big three-entry
He had only entered the garrison office in the hospital, and he had also entered a wealthy family at Puzikou, but he didn't take a good look at it at the time and couldn't remember anything. In short, the Wu family would also be a wealthy family in the future, and they had to look like a wealthy family.
“Let’s build a chicken coop here, a rack here to dry clothes, and I’ll see where the pig pen is placed.”
Wu Dacai's expression changed. He walked out and saw his mother-in-law, gesticulating with the newly purchased maid, "Make this shelf wider. There may be some millet in the future, and it may not be dried, so I have to dry it myself."
"
"What are you doing to dry the millet? Are you still in the countryside? Who is drying the millet in the courtyard in this city?" The woman turned her head and saw Wu Dacai, and came over with a face full of joy and said, "The head of the family, don't think that I don't know, as an official
There are so many gifts at home. You said that for an official like you, you still have to fight to give them away. There is so little grain, meat, etc.
Come on, the millet can be stored only if it is dried in the sun. The meat can’t be eaten all at once, and it needs a place to smoke. Let’s build a shelf here..."
Ng Tak Choi said angrily, "What's going on in the pigsty?"
The woman said matter-of-factly, "If you can bring me meat, why don't you give me pigs?"
Ng Tak Choi looked impatient, "Do you think anyone has given away pigs?"
When the woman saw Wu Tat Choi getting angry, she was not afraid at all and said, "Your uncle is so picky, he brought ducks, so what's the point of sending pigs? You have to find a place to raise livestock."
"I'm telling you, if you want to eat meat, just go and buy it. Don't accept these trivial things. I just became an official and today is my first day on duty. My monthly salary is enough. I can keep an eye on Jiang Guoyong.
Yeah, don’t talk nonsense.”
The woman grinned and said a little unwillingly, "I originally said that I would go to your uncle's house today to break up the door and make him regret going. I look down on others."
Wu Tachai glanced at the messy entrance, and was no longer in the mood for a walk. He was about to go out angrily. When he turned around, he also took a look at the maid's figure, but quickly looked back, she was still too thin.
"If you're not thin, you won't be sold." Wu Tachai muttered, temporarily losing interest in this maid, "I'm going out."
Wu Tachai's voice was so loud that the maid was stunned for a moment, and then she ran to fetch the door latch. Wu Tachai's head was raised slightly, waiting for the maid to open the door. The maid seemed not used to such a big door latch, and her strength was a bit weak.
, took it out twice but failed to take it off, Wu Tachai did not help, and pretended to be the head of the house and lectured, "When you are familiar with the work at home, you have to use your brain, not your body."
Brain, we need to talk about methods, talk about methods..."
After he said this, he stood there for a moment. The maid unlatched the door and opened the door. Before Wu Tac Choi could leave, he turned around and said to his wife, "Go to your uncle's house."
The woman tilted her head to one side, "Why should I go? You're not allowed to say this or that. What's the point of going there?"
Wu Tat Choi rushed over in two steps and waved his hand, "Are you going or not?"
The woman hurriedly ran to the second entrance, "Just go, I won't bring anything with me."
"Who asked you to bring something? Let him bring it." Wu Dacai leaned on his crutches and thought for a moment, "Go and tell your uncle that I have been promoted to a high official and come to me to handle the matter of my cousin entering the garrison camp. Bring it with you." Bring the things to the garrison office."
The woman's face was full of displeasure, "Your snobbish uncle, why are you helping him? I don't care about those ducks."
"Women know nothing about women." Wu Dacai turned around and went out. When he passed by the maid, he stopped and said seriously, "You have to tell me the method."
...Wu Dacai walked through the inner street of Zongyangmen in high spirits. Although he was walking with a cane, he seemed to be walking with wind. There were many passers-by, but none of them caught his eye now. They were all traffickers and lackeys. Last time Do you still feel this way?
When I first received February's salary, when the guards' rooms were arranged for tomorrow, and there were guards following me on the way to work, the wind would be doubled.
When he arrived at the garrison office of the Anqing garrison camp, the drill chants in the nearby school field rang loudly. Wu Dacai checked his waist badge at the door. The corpsman on duty diligently handed back the waist badge and said, "Master Wu, please come in." Before the bureau. Some people flatter him and call him "Sir", but they always add "Baizong" in front, which seems to be of low grade. When he goes to Dunbao, he is called "Master Tuo Tuo", which is rustic. Now there is no modifier for "Sir". The grade is obvious but not clear.
At the same time, Wu Tac Choi was a little excited. He recalled Pang Pang's usual behavior, nodded and smiled at the corps leader, then took the waist badge and entered the gate.
"I've met Mr. Wu."
"Hello, Mr. Wu."
Wu Tac Choi passed by in the lobby, and everyone he met along the way bowed and said hello. It was completely different from when he came to the barracks two days ago to perform business. At that time, it was considered polite not to give him a dirty look. Wu Tac Choi imitated Pang Yu. He tried his best to respond with a gentle smile and nod. These were already expected by him, because his position was personally appointed by Pang Yu. When he came to receive the appointment letter yesterday, the entire garrison office was
It was a sensation. No one in the garrison camp has been promoted so quickly. But before everyone could react yesterday, details came out from the barracks. Wu Dacai was in charge of the four tasks of the clerical team and reported directly to Pang Yu. From now on, every room will A clerical officer was needed. Only then did everyone realize that Wu Tac-choi was not only
He was promoted quickly and very high, so today's treatment is basically like treating everyone as a secretary in each house, or even slightly more than that, because the newly promoted people must be industry insiders from Pangdaren. According to the garrison office The conventional six-room building has the same pavilion and warehouse as the county government office, but it also has the Zan Painting Room, the stable, the arsenal and the Central Military Hall. Pang Yu gave up the Hou Yamen to the Zan Painting Room, and moved the stable and arsenal. Arriving at the barracks area, the vacated room
The room was given to the clerical team and the military room, but it was already full. Wu Dacai did not want to share a room with Mr. Hou, so the Chengfa Office arranged him in the office room of the clerical team, which was the same room where he came to inquire about placement that day.
According to the rules of the yamen, he needed to visit the chief clerk on his first day in office. Wu Dacai checked in front of the door and found that Mr. Hou was not in the room, so he went back to his room without waiting.
Wu Tac Choi paused at the door of the straight room and muttered, "I need to tell you a method." Then he thought about his words before walking inside the door.
When he entered the room, all five writers were in the room, including the one who scolded him that day. His face was pale at this time, and he was hiding behind the other people tremblingly.
Several people said in unison, "I've seen the Deputy Chief Clerk."
Wu Tat Choi said politely, "No need to be too polite. From now on, we will all be colleagues in the clerical team. Old... I have just arrived here. I have to rely on you for the affairs of the team. We have to do things well so that we can be worthy of the great people and everyone."
Soldiers."
Several calligraphers only said yes. Wu Tac-choi walked to his desk, and someone wanted to help him sit down. Wu Tac-choi waved his hand and refused. When he sat down, several calligraphers stood in front of the table and waited to continue the lecture.
Seeing that the calligrapher was still hiding behind, Wu Dacai coughed and said, "I'm new here. In order to address you easily in the future, let's all introduce ourselves. Who is our name and what our main duties are in the team." The calligraphers told each other.
Look, at the beginning of an old calligrapher, he took turns to add names to Wu Da's financial report. Finally, he came up to the calligrapher and said, "Little man, my surname is Xu. This Xu Youyuan usually fights with the barracks and the fort."
We have to communicate with each other and arrange the placement of officers and soldiers... The villain didn't know that day, and it was not decided by the villain. The villain..." Wu Dacai waved his hand and said magnanimously, "I won't mention the past, but I also want to say, come on.
The people who work in the garrison office are all garrison soldiers. They are all heroes who kill thieves for the country. They protect the safety of the people and our safety.
, Should we respect such heroes? I won’t talk about other departments. Our clerical team is originally a member of the army, so we should be more polite. Only in this way can the battalion generals say that the clerical team is good."
"I know this, I will be polite in the future. I hope you will understand me." "I am a magnanimous person and the most fair in dealing with things. I will not mention the previous matters. From now on, I will only judge people based on their talents and virtues, and will never care about them."
Let’s celebrate the holiday in private.” Wu Tac Choi nodded, “After that, I would like to remind everyone that Pang Daren has asked me to take charge of the promotion within the team. The clerical team is not going to work as it is now, and there are many things that need to be changed.
, you are all old men in the team, and I think you know more about the shortcomings of the team than I do. Before I go on duty tomorrow, each of you will write a statement. It doesn’t matter whether it is something you did yourself, as long as you feel it is inappropriate, you think you can do more.
Okay, you can write it all down. From now on, I will only focus on fairness when promoting and employing people. Justice depends on talent and virtue, but what does talent and virtue look like? The first thing to look at is this statement.
Is there anything extraordinary about it?"
Several calligraphers looked at each other, Wu Tachai observed it, and two of them were a little eager to try.
Wu Dachai said with satisfaction, "That's it here. You can go and do your work."
The five people returned to their tables, and Xu Youyuan ran to pour a pot of tea and carefully placed it on Wu Dacai's table. Wu Dacai nodded politely. The old writer came over again and reported to Wu Dacai the specific affairs and processes of the team.
After talking for half a quarter of an hour, a guard came. He stood at the door and said, "Master Wu, there is someone outside the door asking to see you. He claims to be your uncle. Do you want this villain to be introduced?"
Come."
Wu Tachai raised his head and said, "It's my uncle, let him come in."
The guard hesitated to speak, but finally said, "He is holding some objects, is it..."
"It's okay, let him come in."
The guard turned and left, and Wu Tac Choi said to the old calligrapher, "We will continue talking in a moment."
He took the crutches and propped himself up, stopped at the door, and watched the guards leading his uncle in from the screen wall, carrying ducks and bags in his hands. When his uncle saw Wu Tac Choi, he immediately put on a smile and didn't wait. As he spoke, Wu Tac Choi suddenly shouted loudly, "I've told you that soldiers have to go to battle to see their true form, and those who come in are all good men. Do you think you can show mercy?"
, If my cousin can’t pass the selection, he won’t be able to be a soldier in the garrison camp. If he says he can’t do it, he can’t do it. Why are you here?” The lobby is a large patio, surrounded by the direct rooms of each room, where people come and go to do business. Here, his roar shocked the entire lobby. People walking around stopped to watch the excitement, and even people in some rooms also
Put your head out to check.
The uncle was speechless. He was full of joy and thought that the matter was done. He was already cautious when he arrived at the Yamen. Who knew it was like this? After almost all the rooms were out, he said to his uncle majestically, "The military is a place with rules and military discipline! What I value most is justice, and I will not tolerate any slightest dissatisfaction."
Although you are my uncle, no matter how many gifts you give me, this is a violation of military regulations. Even if we are no longer related, I will never do it for you, guard! Drive him away. Get out!" Wu Tachai said loudly, exuding the brilliance of integrity, and returned to the living room with his sleeves rolled up under the surprised gazes of the whole hall.
