After the four people had a brief chat in the room and got to know each other, Xia Qi reminded: "Brothers, let's talk when you come back. Dinner is about to begin..."
The other two clerks immediately responded and took Chai Yan to the public kitchen.
When he arrived at the public kitchen, Chai Yan lined up behind Xia Qi to get his meal.
Chai Yan looked at the freshly prepared food in the bowl and couldn't help but shake his head. It seemed that no matter where he went, the food in the cafeteria was always the same bad!
Damn it, I thought a yamen like Wude Si would be different, but it seems I’m overthinking it!
The four people sat down at an empty table with their meals in hand. Just as Xia Qi and the others were about to use their chopsticks, they saw Chai Yan waving at them with a wink.
The four heads quickly came together.
"I said, do you eat this every day?" Chai Yan asked, pushing the food in the middle of the table.
The three people nodded in unison. Xia Qi knew that Chai Yan was dissatisfied with the poor food, so he explained: "It's like this, Mr. Chef, it's worse to sew food on an odd day. It will be much better if you sew on an even day. Today is an odd day."
Today, brothers, let’s make a living first.”
Chai Yan raised his head and looked around. Seeing no one around, he took the initiative and said, "How about we go out and have a good time? I'll be the host!"
Although it was the first time for the three clerks to hear the word "rubbing a meal", they understood the meaning immediately.
Hearing Chai Yan say that he was the host, Xia Qi was immediately moved, but he still looked embarrassed on his face and said hypocritically: "Brother Chai, this... I'm afraid this is inappropriate, you just came today.
, how can I make you spend money? I am the host, it is my turn to be the host..."
Chai Yan immediately put his hand on Xia Qi's shoulder and said with a serious face: "Okay, you will be the host!"
In an instant, the muscles on Xia Qi's face froze, and he looked at Chai Yan for a long time, not knowing what to say.
"Don't take it seriously, I'm just kidding you. I'm a newcomer, how can I let my brother do things for me? Hahaha..." Chai Yan suddenly laughed.
Only then did Xia Qi realize that Chai Yan was joking, and his anxious heart immediately relaxed, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hahaha......."
The four people at the table burst out laughing.
After almost laughing, Chai Yan said boldly: "Brother, I'm new here, so I should treat my brothers to a meal. After all, if I don't understand anything in the future, I have to rely on my brothers to protect me!"
Xia Qi took the lead and said: "It must, it must!"
The other two people immediately echoed.
"Then what are you waiting for? Brothers are on their way..." Chai Yan put down his chopsticks and stood up.
The other three people stood up immediately, and the four of them left the kitchen in a flash.
The main entrance to the dining area was closed, and the four of us could only go out to the street through the side entrance that was usually used by people.
As soon as they went to the street, Xia Qi and the other three immediately let go of their courage. The three of them gathered around Chai Yan and kept saying words of praise. Those who didn't know better thought that these people were Chai Yan's lackeys.
"Brothers, this restaurant looks good, this is it!"
After walking for a while, Chai Yan suddenly pointed to a restaurant not far away called "Huibin House".
"Brother Chai, this place is not cheap. There is no need. Let's go elsewhere." Xia Qi immediately reminded.
Chai Yan said with admiration: "Brother, you are so kind, and you also know how to save money for your brothers!"
Xia Qi thought to himself: Who helped you save money? I'm afraid that you'll make a fool of yourself and make a fool of yourself. If you don't have enough money to pay the bill after eating, won't the three of us have to collect it for you?
“Brothers, don’t worry, we still have enough money for a meal!”
While he was talking, Chai Yan already had the money bag in his hands.
Xia Qi felt relieved when he saw the bulging money bag. He immediately smiled and gave a thumbs up and praised: "Brother, you are so awesome!"
Chai Yanxin said that I am not familiar with this place. I have to meet with the deputy commander tomorrow morning. Why don't we collect some information quickly?
Not long after, the four people walked into the reception building chatting and laughing happily.
Chai Yan ordered a table of good wine and food, and while everyone was eating, they chatted about the general situation of Wudeshi.
According to Xia Qi and the others, there are approximately more than 1,200 staff members in Dasheng Wudesi Yamen, 70% of whom are distributed in state capitals across the country, and the remaining 30% are stationed in the capital.
There were also about 300 people who came down.
However, nearly half of these more than 300 people are civil servants. Their positions are collectively called secretary, and they are responsible for handling letters and information coming from all directions. Cheng Huahan, the chief secretary, is one of the immediate bosses of this group of people!
Xia Qi specifically explained that the more than 300 people did not include the sergeants holding halberds. Those sergeants were all forbidden troops and were sent by the emperor to guard the Wude Division.
Not all officials live in Wudesi, there are also commuters who live outside and commute to get off work on time, but most of them are married and elderly. Wudesi usually gives a subsidy, regardless of whether these people are Renting or buying a house in the capital helps them stabilize.
Xia Qi told Chai Yan that in addition to the civilian position of Secretary, the Wude Department also had three military positions: Siwei, Secretary, and Secretary.
The lowest level is called Si Wei, and usually those who enter the Wude Division can be appointed to this position as long as they successfully pass the assessment;
The lieutenant went up to call the sexton. As long as he had good martial arts skills and good work ability, he would have a chance to be promoted as time goes by.
The next level up from the Secretary to the Secretary is the Secretary. The conditions and requirements for promotion to the Secretary are many and very demanding. Not only must you have outstanding martial arts skills, but you must also have a flexible mind, leadership skills, and the ability to adapt to situations...
In short, he is a general who can stand alone!
Chai Yan suddenly thought of someone and asked Xia Qi: "By the way, that Mo Di, what is his position?"
Xia Qi was already drunk, and his voice was loud when he spoke: "Of course I am the Commander-in-Chief! Commander Mo is the most trusted person by Commander Gu, how can he not be the Commander-in-Chief?"
Chai Yan thought about it, this question was really redundant.
After a pause, Chai Yan asked again: "What about Jimo Qiao?"
Xia Qi couldn't help but be stunned, and then looked at the other two colleagues. After the three were still for a moment, they suddenly burst into laughter.
Chai Yan was a little surprised and asked: "Is she a little girl who is also an envoy?"
Xia Qi waved his hand and denied: "That's not true. Miss Jimo has just joined the Wude Division for less than a year, and she is still a Division Lieutenant..."
"Oh." Chai Yan nodded, thinking that this is quite reasonable.
But Xia Qi immediately added: "But she is the eldest lady of the Jimo family. Does it matter whether she is a lieutenant or a sexton? As long as she is angry or unhappy, let alone several ministers, she will
Even Mr. Duanmu has to be careful, support and coax..."
According to Xia Qi, Jimo Qiao is just a crab in Wudesi, and he usually walks sideways!
