The Best Fake Eunuch
Chapter 25
His immediate boss, Gong Shouli, was about forty years old, with a strong body, dark complexion, pockmarked face, extremely ugly, and he limped when he walked, like a sad duck.
His attitude towards Xiao Chen was also cold.
"You are rare among our eunuchs to be knowledgeable, and the emperor entrusts you with a heavy responsibility, so do it well in the future." The opening remarks sounded nothing more than that.
"You are new here and don't know anything. I don't dare to entrust you with important errands. Let's learn for a year or so first."
This is not good, it is equivalent to directly hanging our Xiao Chen on the wall as a photo! It will hang for a year and a half...
"But we don't keep idlers. How about it? Aren't you literate? From now on, I will be in charge of the archives hall, sorting out the memorials over the years. I have to list them by category. I don't know when the emperor will read it." Yes, if you can't find it by then, hehehe..."
I don't know if it's an illusion, Xiao Chen always felt that Gong Shouli's laughter had a murderous look.
"Hey!"
When he arrived at the archive hall where the memorials were stored, Xiao Chen's nose almost crooked from anger.
There are a total of seven or eight cold and dark rooms, in which there are hundreds of black lacquered wooden boxes used to hold memorials, and there are many scattered outside, piles of which are just thrown on the ground in such a mess.
"Ouch!" One accidentally tripped and fell to the ground.
"Eunuch, be careful!" Several young eunuchs who followed hurried over to help.
"Why is it so dark that it doesn't even have a window?" Xiao Chen lost his temper.
"Back to Eunuch Xiao, our archives hall is an important place to store memorials and files. We must not have windows, and we must not have oil lamps or candles." A young eunuch hurriedly replied.
Since it is an important place, why is it such a mess inside? Is there no one to take care of it?
Really no one cares.
Because the Great Zhou was not long after the founding of the country, and it has only been more than a year since he entered the imperial palace. The supervisor of rituals has not been established for a long time, and many rules and regulations have not yet been perfected.
Gong Shouli was born in the army, and he didn't know how to manage the affairs of the department at all, saying that he could ignore such an important point.
If it wasn't for wanting to show off Xiao Chen, he would never have remembered that there is such a place in Si Li.
But almost all the official memorials reviewed by the emperor's cabinet, except those that are confidential and important, are all sent to the storage hall, and there is no need to register, and there is no receipt, just throw it in and it's over...
All the bastards in the Juantang, gather for Lao Tzu!
Among the dozens of eunuchs, big and small, all of them were trembling, because the newly promoted father-in-law was obviously not in a good mood.
The big guy will inevitably want to eat melons.
"Who is the hall master in charge?" Xiao Chen's majestic gaze swept over everyone.
"Back to Eunuch Xiao, our hall master died of an illness before, and there is no one to take care of it now." An old eunuch who was about fifty years old replied softly.
"What's your name? Do you know how to read?" Xiao Chen looked at this person with a gentle manner, as if he had been educated.
"Back to Eunuch Xiao, the villain Zhao Xicai can read a little bit." Since he said that, he must be someone who has read books.
"From today onwards, you have the right to act as the hall master and be directly responsible to me. You have seven days to organize all the memorials in the warehouse for me. They must be classified according to time, province, and person's name, and make their own books!"
"Eunuch Xiao, there are tens of thousands of memorials here. There are only so many of us, and half of them are illiterate. Even if we take our lives, we won't be able to do it within seven days!"
Zhao Xicai knelt down with a puff.
"Those who can read and write do fine work, and those who can't read and write use rough language. Do you still need me to teach you? I give you the power of life and death. Anyone who dares to slack off or disobeys can do whatever you want. It doesn't matter if you kill him. I take the responsibility!"
"I want to see results within half a month! If you can't do it, you can throw yourself into the well." Xiao Chen is not unreasonable.
"Hey!" Zhao Xi didn't dare to say any more.
"Clean up a room for me. From today onwards, I will be sitting here... What are you still doing? Practice for me!" Xiao Chen's face turned slightly pale, it was not from anger, but from cold.
People froze to death outside, dogs froze to death inside, there were no windows in the warehouse, the sunlight could not come in, and the brazier could not be lit, it was extremely cold.
Xiao Chen just stood and watched for a while, his hands and feet were numb from the cold, and the eunuchs who were working were even more miserable, one by one hissing and haha, stamping their feet and rubbing their hands, their noses flowed onto their faces and instantly froze into ice... …
With this working environment, let alone half a month, half a year can't finish it!
It seems that we have to find a way.
At noon, a few eunuchs went to the kitchen to bring several large barrels of food. The main food was cold corn flour mixed with steamed buns, and the dish was cabbage tofu soup, which didn't even have any oil or water in it, but the big guys wolfed it down, and the food was delicious.
Xiao Lizi and Xiao Fengzi also brought him lunch, but it was a four-layer sandalwood food box tightly wrapped in thick cotton cloth.
A roast chicken, a roast duck, a large plate of sauced beef, a large plate of roasted deer tendons, and a casserole of stewed mutton and radishes, all of which were steaming and fragrant on the table.
There is also a pot of shochu that feels hot to the touch...
Zhao Xicai and a group of eunuchs suddenly felt that the steamed bun and vegetable soup in their hands were no longer fragrant, and they all looked at him eagerly, swallowing one after another.
"I'm not hungry, let's give it all to the big guys." As soon as Xiao Chen finished speaking, dozens of eunuchs flew up together and grabbed all the four dishes and one soup in an instant.
"If you let the horses pull the cart, you have to feed the horses. Little Li, you go to the kitchen to pass my order. The daily food for our storage hall is based on the standard of five taels of silver, and I will pay for it myself!"
"Hey!" Xiao Lizi took the order and ran away.
The eunuchs were taken aback when they heard the words, and then they cheered in unison, almost lifting the roof off!
"Oh, Eunuch Xiao, how can you let yourself spend money? Five taels of silver a day is too much!" Zhao Xicai sucked his nose happily.
"Everyone works so hard, how can we do well if we can't eat well...Little Fengzi, go to the Imperial Prison and the Shangyi Supervisor, and get me the person in charge!"
Xiao Chen not only had to solve the problem of eating for the big guys, but also the problem of heating.
Hearing that the newly promoted eunuch Xiao Gonggong called, the eunuchs Liu Fuhai and Zhang Dafu, the chief eunuchs of the two supervision divisions, did not dare to neglect, and rushed to obey orders immediately!
Without further ado, kneel down and kowtow to express congratulations, which is considered to be full of sincerity.
"Zhang Dafu, look at their padded clothes are too worn out, they can't do anything in this cold room..."
Before Xiao Chen could finish his sentence, Zhang Dafu understood, and hurriedly said: "We have ready-made cotton clothes over there, brothers, report the size later, and I'll send someone to send it over."
"This is something extra, I personally pay the money..." Xiao Chen nodded in satisfaction.
"Look at what Eunuch Xiao said! This little thing can cost your old man money? It's all done for you by the little one!" Zhang Dafu tried his best to flatter him.
"Well, since that's the case, I'll trouble you too." Xiao Chenjia Xu nodded.
"Isn't it all right?" Zhang Dafu opened his mouth so wide that it was about to crack his ears.
