Fang Zi'an sat on the chair and picked up the tea to drink, but found that the tea cup was dirty, the tea leaves inside were all broken, and there was a layer of yellow foam floating on it, and there was no smell of tea, so he dared to drink it.

Looking around, there was nothing worth paying attention to in the lobby, and after sitting for a while, I just felt bored. He stood up at the moment, walked under the nave, and looked up at the dragon king painted on the nave. This is the only interesting place in the entire lobby that is worth seeing.

I don't know how long it took, but I heard a movement in the courtyard. There was a cacophony mixed with shrill laughter. In the midst of the chaos of footsteps, it seemed that a large group of people had walked in. Fang Zi'an estimated that the people from the Yamen of the Fangyu Army had already begun to come to the Yamen to do things, so he dressed up and turned around and walked towards the door of the lobby.

"Old Wang, where did you get the horses?" a rough voice came from the courtyard.

"Lord Xia is here, oh, this is the horse of the new Lord Fang." The veteran's voice came.

"Which is the new Lord Fang," the rough voice shouted.

"Master Xia forgot, didn't there be an official document from above yesterday, let's have a new master?"

"Oh, I remember. What about others?"

"It's in the lobby, it's early." The veteran laughed.

Fang Zi'an had already arrived at the door of the lobby, and saw seven or eight soldiers in uniforms surrounded by a burly man walking towards the door. When those people saw Fang Zi'an standing on the steps, their eyes showed curiosity.

"Hey, you're the new master," the burly man shouted.

Fang Zi'an smiled and arched his hand, "This official Zi'an was ordered to come to take office. Dare to ask this one, but Lord Xia, the commander of the Lin'an Defense Army."

The burly man spat on the ground next to him, and said in a deep voice, "It's Lao Tzu." My name is Xia Liangdong. Damn, the court sent you a white-faced scholar to do it, Lao Tzu, what is lacking here is the manpower to fight the fire. What do you want the main thin to have a fart. ”

Fang Zi'an frowned, this person had a dirty mouth, called himself Lao Tzu, and his words and deeds were extremely vulgar. But Fang Zi'an didn't want to be unhappy when he met, so he suppressed the annoyance in his heart and didn't mind. Maybe that's just a mantra.

"This is my appointment document, please take a look at it." Fang Zi'an took out the official document from his arms and handed it over.

The defense officer grabbed it, frowned and looked at it for a long time, and scolded, "Damn, aren't you embarrassed Lao Tzu, I don't know a few big characters, you told me to read the paperwork, I don't need to read it, what kind of appointment do the people who come here need." Don't get in the way, I've been walking for a long time, and I'm tired to death. Lao Wang, make a pot of tea to drink. ”

Xia Liangdong threw the paperwork in Fang Zi'an's arms, and strode past Fang Zi'an into the lobby. The veteran hurriedly followed up to make tea, and a group of soldiers also passed by Fang Zi'an with a smile. Some of them also glared at Fang Zi'an with slanted eyebrows, and some muttered in a low voice, "What kind of bullshit is that the master is thin and dressed like a dog, and he really thinks of himself as a character." Phew"

Only Fang Zi'an was left standing there on the steps, looking a little embarrassed and lonely, but there was actually a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Hey, who is Fang Zi'an, yes, Lao Tzu seems to be called

You, Lord Fang, are you? Hahaha. You come here. Master Xia, the defense officer, sat and half-lay on the chair behind the table, put a pair of dusty boots on the table and shook it, pointing at Fang Zi'an and shouting.

"Hahaha, Lord Fang. Our Lord Xia called you. Are you deaf?" all the soldiers around laughed, and someone shouted.

With a smile on the corner of his mouth, Fang Zi'an turned around and walked into the lobby and said, "What advice does Lord Xia have?"

"Don't dare to advise, you're new, I'm afraid you don't understand the rules of our defense army, I have to make it clear to you, lest you blame me for not telling you clearly in the future." Xia Liangdong said with trembling feet.

"Your Excellency, please speak." Fang Zi'an smiled.

"Okay, then you're welcome. The first rule is that there are no other adults in our defense army except Lao Tzu. I am the chief officer, and everything must be approved by me. I know that you were appointed by the imperial court to be my deputy, but Lao Tzu doesn't need it. You only need to pour me tea and beat my legs, and you don't have to worry about anything else. If you really think of yourself as an official and play some kind of official show, then I won't agree. Xia Liangdong said in a deep voice.

Fang Zi'an nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice, "There is more."

"Second, the brothers of our defense army are very hard, the treatment is poor, and the risk is very big. Not only can you put on a show in front of me, but you can't put on a show in front of my brothers. Lao Tzu still talks about some affection, but if you provoke my brothers, then you won't be able to eat and walk around. Don't think that you are an official appointed by the imperial court, they will not dare to touch you, and they will anger them, but I can't protect it. So, you'd better talk to them a little more. ”

Fang Zi'an nodded silently, and the muscles on his face had already begun to distort.

"Third, our defense army is doing the errand of firefighting, as the so-called water and fire are ruthless, and if you don't do it, you will die. This is not an ordinary man's job. You come to eat mixed rice, we have no opinion. But brothers, you don't have to work hard, then you have to show something. You are an official of the imperial court, and your monthly salary is very rich, which is much more than the salary of our brothers. So, you should give some of it to the benefits to your brothers. At first glance, you just don't understand the rules, I'm afraid that you didn't come empty-handed to take office today, how can you go on like this, so, the tricks are brighter, smarter, understand?"

Fang Zi'an smiled and said, "Lord Xia, is there anything else?"

Xia Liangdong said, "That's all for the time being, I'll tell you when I think about it." ”

Fang Zi'an nodded and said, "Okay, I will ask Lord Xia for more advice when I go back." Lord Xia is very good at teaching a lesson, he doesn't understand the rules, and he really came empty-handed today. I want to make up for my mistakes, I don't know if I can."

Xia Liangdong squinted at Fang Zi'an and said, "How are you going to make up for it?"

Fang Zi'an thought for a while and said, "That's it, I took office at the beginning of today, and the brothers in our defense army don't know me either." I would like to ask Lord Xia to invite the team members and key brothers of the submerged fire team of the defense army in all parts of the city, and I will be the east at noon, and we will set up a dozen tables of banquets here. First, it is a meeting with everyone, and secondly, it also means meaning to the brothers. ”

Xia Liangdong sat up and said, "What does it mean?"

Fang Zi'an said, "Send a red envelope or something, and every brother present will give one."

A few taels of silver to meet the gift whatever. What does Lord Xia think?"

Xia Liangdong opened his mouth slightly, as if he was a little surprised. He said in disbelief: "Our defense army has a total of more than 60 submarine fire teams. There are more than 100 members of the main and deputy teams, and more than 200 people will be invited with some key personnel. A few taels of silver per person, that's a lot of silver. plus twenty tables of banquets, it will cost at least a hundred taels of silver. You're so generous."

Fang Zian laughed and said, "Isn't it just silver, I don't have anything else, but there is no shortage of silver." Although I didn't bring any gifts today, I did bring a lot of silver tickets. ”

As he spoke, Fang Zi'an reached into his arms, took out a large stack of thick silver tickets with a hula, twisted them into a fan in his hand, and fanned them a few times.

"See, it's all Chase Bank's silver tickets, and it's convenient and fast to redeem them at any time. Are these enough?" asked Fang Zi'an with a smile.

Xia Liangdong and the rest of the people all stared at the stack of silver tickets in Fang Zi'an's hand, their eyes moving with the fanning of the silver tickets, like a group of hungry dogs seeing meat and bones. They didn't expect that this new lord Bo was actually a rich man. Salivating one by one.

"Hahaha, good, good, good. Since you have a heart, I can't help but let you do your best. Then it's up to you. Niu Er, you go and inform the teams and ask them to come here at noon to eat, just say that it is good to take it, don't blame Lao Tzu for not informing him. Xia Liangdong laughed and patted the table.

A soldier hurriedly agreed, got up and rushed out the door.

Fang Zi'an took out two silver tickets and raised his head, "Which brother do me a favor and book a few good banquets on the table, this is one hundred taels of silver, enough to book a good banquet on thirty tables." In this way, thirty tables are set first, and all the rest are bought. If you can't finish it today, you can drink it as tea later. ”

Xia Liangdong nodded and smiled, "Thoughtful." Oops, I didn't expect you, this kid is so good at things, amazing, amazing. That, did you give me a particularly big red envelope, if it is only a few taels of silver like other brothers, then you look down on Lao Tzu. ”

Fang Zi'an said with a smile: "Lord Xia, don't worry, the red envelope given to you will definitely surprise you." Absolutely satisfying you. Don't be in a hurry, I'll give it to you after a while, with my brothers, okay?"

Xia Liangdong laughed and said, "Okay, good." Listen to you, listen to you. ”

There is such a good thing, these people are highly motivated, diligent and quick. Xia Liangdong commanded seven or eight soldiers and veteran Wang Jin to work together to move the tables, chairs and benches in the lobby of each room to the courtyard to put together a table for the banquet. Although the courtyard is not small, thirty tables cannot be placed, twenty tables are placed in the courtyard, four tables are placed in the lobby, and five or six tables are placed in the rest of the wings, barely all of them are arranged. There were not enough tables and chairs, so the soldiers used their ingenuity, unloaded the door panel as a table, and brought stones as stools, but also put it together.

After a busy time, it was already noon, and several large cars of the restaurant arrived one after another, bringing the wine and food. Wine alone bought forty or fifty jars. After the wine and food were put on the table, the aroma inside and outside the entire Fangyu Army Yamen was mouth-watering.

Fang Zi'an kept standing on the steps and watched everyone busy, and he didn't interfere to help, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. I thought to myself, is the Hongmen banquet delicious, and you will know how good I am in a while.
