Because of Jia Kai's arrival, it was impossible for Lin Haoming to be as comfortable as before. Xiaomei and Yu'er both took the initiative to retreat. Only Lin Zhen had a good relationship with Qiniang, and as the head of Lin's trading company, he had a close relationship with Jia Kai.
Kai also had a lot of dealings with him, so he stayed.
"Where is Siyue?" Qiniang knew who was in charge here, so she subconsciously asked Lin Zhen when the hostess was gone.
"Master will be here today, and she took the initiative to cook. Mr. Jia, you will also be in luck this time!" Lin Zhen explained with a smile.
"Oh, I also admire Mrs. Shu's craftsmanship!" Jia Kai also responded.
"In that case, Mr. Jia will have to eat more later!" At this moment, Shu Siyue also walked in, followed by several maids. It was obvious that the work in the kitchen had been finished.
"Of course!" Jia Kai agreed with a smile.
"Now that it's done, let's eat and talk together. Lin Zhen, go and call Yu'er and Xiaomei out too!" Lin Haoming took the initiative.
Lin Haoming said this, obviously indicating the status of these people in the family. Naturally, Lin Zhen immediately agreed happily and left.
Jia Kai glanced at Lin Haoming subconsciously. In his opinion, among the women around Lin Haoming, apart from Shu Siyue, Lin Zhen was quite powerful, and the others were not so bad. However, he did not expect that in Lin Haoming's heart, they were quite powerful.
He has weight, but he doesn’t know how his sister feels in the other person’s heart.
Originally he was just a subordinate, but now he had to try to figure out his boss's thoughts. Jia Kai couldn't help but laugh at himself when he thought about it.
After everyone sat down, Lin Haoming took the initiative to take out a jar of Jiuhua Brew and poured it for everyone.
Jia Kai is also a person who knows the goods. He recognized it as soon as the wine was filled. He thought highly of Lin Haoming. When the white swordfish entered his mouth, he felt the pure vitality contained in its meat and finally couldn't help but ask:
"My brother, the Taimiaojing team, seems to have gained a lot. I have never seen this fish before. Could it be something from Taimiaojing?"
"Master Jia, you are also from Taimiao Hall. You guessed it right. The name of this fish is white swordfish. I brought it out from Taimiao Realm. It is just some dead fish. The people who checked the harvest ignored it.
It's free for me." Lin Haoming said.
"Hey! It is said that people who come out of Taimiao Realm are different. This fish alone is worth no less than a few sun crystals. Qiniang will be blessed in the future. As an elder brother, I can finally remove the thorn in my heart.
Yes!" Jia Kai sighed.
"Brother, I have never blamed you!" Qiniang said softly.
"Hey, I know, it would be nice to see you live a good life. Brother Lin, although you have advanced to Shenxuan now and are on par with me, if you are unworthy of Qiniang, I, Jia Kai, will fight
I won’t back down anymore, and Qiniang can’t afford to be hurt anymore!” Jia Kai said solemnly.
"Don't worry, as long as Qiniang stays, I will never give up. In fact, it is my blessing to have such a good woman by my side!" Lin Haoming expressed his feelings again.
"Okay, okay!" Jia Kai received Lin Haoming's assurance again and felt more relieved.
Because Lin Haoming planned to settle down a little before picking up Qiniang, he did not discuss the marriage for the time being. After three rounds of drinking, the atmosphere gradually became more relaxed. Jia Kai finally mentioned that he wanted to get rid of the guards and government officials during the day. After all, the patrol
Since the Yamen is right next door, things spread quickly.
After hearing this, Lin Haoming smiled slightly and said: "This is indeed true. I won't want any of the people who didn't arrive on time on duty. In fact, I want to get rid of all those people. I just went too far because I was afraid of the little devils underneath.
, and then he restrained himself a little. Anyway, the new official takes office with three fires, and most people will not deliberately jump out to make trouble at such a time."
"My brother is right, but there is one thing that I cannot help but mention. Except for some of the people left in your place, they have no background. Many of them actually only occupy a position and get a share of food and salary. What you call getting rid of
People are basically these people!" Jia Kai said truthfully.
"Oh! This is too presumptuous. Even if there has not been a host there for more than ten years, it is Bill's place after all. I have only heard of eating one's own subordinates' free wages, but never heard of eating other people's?" Lin Haoming
After hearing this, I couldn't help but laugh.
"Who are they?" After finishing laughing, Lin Haoming asked again.
"There are many origins of people, but generally speaking, they are all done by one person, and there are only a few people in Dishan City who have the ability to accomplish this. To put it simply, these people are all retired officials.
The owner of the house is Zhu Li." Jia Kai said bluntly.
"Zhu Li, this person also became the head of the official house after Gong Lihai took office, right?" Lin Haoming asked.
"Yes, after Gong Lihai took office, his biggest move was to control the people with official hats and money bags. The first three hundred years were dedicated to paving the way for these two things. First, it was Han Chengzhang, the head of the house, and later he was the official.
The landlord is Zhu Li." Jia Kai said with a wry smile.
Jia Kai's words were obviously not talking about how good those two people were. Obviously, both of them had problems. It can be seen from what Zhu Li did. Lin Haoming also believed that if it weren't for the things he promised to do with Qiniang, it wouldn't be possible.
Even if it changes, Jia Kai would not say these words so openly and honestly.
"Then if I get rid of those people, won't I offend Zhu Li?" Lin Haoming asked self-deprecatingly.
"That's not the case. When Zhu Li put so many people in your place, it was already a matter of overstepping the boundaries. In the past, it was easy to talk about it if you weren't here. Now that you are here, even if you clean them up, no one will say anything about you.
It's wrong, if all this is pursued, Zhu Li should be finished." Jia Kaidao.
"That's true, but I don't have anyone available around me at the moment! I used Liu Kai well before, but I wonder where he is now?" Lin Haoming asked.
"He is the nephew of Liu Xian Cheng, and he is really working in Dishan City now. If you need someone, I can help you get him right away." Jia Kai understood Lin Haoming's intention and immediately agreed.
"Thank you very much. Besides, I have some people here. It would be best to get them over, but most of them are in Xilin County!" Lin Haoming directly took out a list and handed it to Jia Kai.
Jia Kai knew that Lin Haoming trusted him by doing this. It can be seen that because of Qiniang's relationship, the two of them really stood together.
"So they are all your old subordinates. This is easy!" Jia Kai glanced at them and agreed with a smile. "Besides these, is there anything else you need my help with?" Jia Kai continued to ask.
"You're right. None of the people in our government office are capable of doing anything. Even half of them are not qualified to be ordinary guards and government servants. At least these people need to be filled!" Lin Haoming said.
"This is also easy. I have guards in the torture chamber. When I transfer Liu Kai, I will transfer him to you as well!" Jia Kai said happily.
"Thank you!" Jia Kai's cheerfulness indeed allowed Lin Haoming to solve the urgent problem at hand.
