Volume 2 The Court Chapter 6 Professional Toilet Washer
Located in the most remote corner of the palace, the Farm House was the lowest of the many offices in the palace. There is a group of isolated and forgotten people living in the agricultural courtyard, except for the chief eunuch in charge, the other eunuchs can only eat and live within the scope of the agricultural courtyard, and must not eat and live with the eunuchs of other departments.
The Agricultural House is like the exile place where the emperor exiles his criminal ministers, and the ruthless cold palace where he places abandoned concubines. When he entered the agricultural house, he became an abandoned palace man, and he never came out one day.
The Agricultural House is mainly divided into two departments: the Imperial Cultivation House and the Incense Delivery Room.
The Imperial Farm House is in charge of the royal vegetable field, which is full of rare varieties of four-season fruits and vegetables that are only for the enjoyment of the royal family; In the Imperial Farming Room, you will not be rewarded for doing a good job, but if you don't do a good job, you will be severely punished at any time, and you will not even be able to save your life.
The incense room, with a nice name, is actually a professional department for pouring night incense and washing toilets. All the toilets in the palace, from the emperor's private golden toilet to the toilets in each palace and courtyard, are all sent to the incense room.
The specific work process is not complicated: every morning use a cart to send the clean toilet to each room in the palace and each palace toilet, take back all the dirty toilets to clean up, and then send the night incense poured together to the imperial farming room as fertilizer, so that the day's work is basically completed. It doesn't sound like a very difficult job, but at best it's a little dirty and smelly.
When Bei Juese knew that he was going to become a professional toilet washer, he immediately asked the shallot: "How many toilets are there in the palace?" ”
Without thinking about it, Shallot blurted out: "There are only three thousand three hundred and thirty-nine." ”
"Three...... Three thousand three hundred and thirty-nine? Nothing more?! Bei Jue Shi couldn't help but exclaim. Can you not scream? In the entire incense delivery room, there are only ten people in total, and they are divided into different places in the palace to collect toilets in groups of two, and each person has to deal with an average of about three hundred and thirty-four toilets every day! It's a bit scary, but what's even scarier is the ridiculously large palace. He has been walking behind the shallots for a long time with a cart of clean toilets, and he hasn't collected half of the toilet yet! In this way, it takes a lot of time to collect the work, and how long does it take to complete the work after adding the cleaning work and the delivery of fertilizer to the cultivation house? No wonder Shallot would say that sending incense to the house is the lowest and hardest job, and no wonder Father-in-law Xin wants to send himself here to "take good care"!
Pushing an empty car in front of him, humming a little song easily, the green onion seemed to know what Bei Juese was thinking, and he turned around and said, "If you can be my partner, you are lucky to be this kid." I took the low-key route, and I definitely did less work than the group of people who took the high-profile route and the mediocre route. ”
"Low-key routes?" Bei looked at the onion in confusion, "The high-profile route, the mediocre route, what are they?" ”
Shallot said a little proudly: "These routes are specially designed by me for the incense delivery room, and they are divided into high-profile routes, mediocre routes and low-key routes according to the different places in charge. The high-profile route is responsible for the toilets of high-status people in the palace, such as emperors, empresses, queen mothers, concubines, princes, etc.; The middle route is responsible for the toilet of people with some status, such as the favored but not high-titled harem beauties, the chief eunuch of each room, etc.; As for the low-key route I take, the clients are the widows of the former emperors, or the abandoned concubines who have been forgotten and neglected by the current emperor. ”
Bei Juese couldn't help but interject and asked, "Aren't all toilets the same?" Why do you have to work on different routes? ”
There is no such thing as the smallest white, only the smaller white. Doesn't this little white know that there is such a thing as "hierarchy" in this world? Shallot glanced at the single-celled creature behind him sympathetically and disdainfully, he didn't bother to answer Bei Juese's question, and just continued with the previous words: "These three routes designed by me, the second in the world, from scratch, greatly meet the different wishes of everyone in the incense delivery room, and it is also a complete solution to the long-term room fighting phenomenon caused by the route problem in the incense delivery room. ”
I've heard of Gong Dou, Ting Dou, and Qundou Bei Beauty, but I've never heard of "Fang Dou". He was curious to know what "Fang Dou" was, but the shallot was still gushing, and he couldn't interject.
"The stupid people in the incense delivery room," the tone of the shallot was very disdainful, "completely ignoring the fact that he is just a lowly eunuch who pours the toilet, and always fantasizes that one day he will be taken by the emperor or other nobles who come out to pour the toilet in person, and from then on he will be able to break away from the incense delivery room and fly on the branches and become a red man." When I designed three perfect routes for them and volunteered to take a low-key route, the guys in that group all laughed like two hundred and five, and thought that they had picked up a big bargain, and Xiaobai, who had been despised by everyone for a long time because of the uneven division of labor, was even more grateful to tears. ”
Bei Juese finally found an opportunity to interject, and suddenly said: "So that's the case, no wonder they respect you so much." ”
Shallot shook his head and said proudly: "No, the reason why they want to respect me and fear me is because they all owe me money." ”
"Owe money?" Kita Juese looked at the back of the shallot in surprise.
Shallot turned his head and smiled proudly: "Hehe, as a low-level eunuch in the palace, if you want to take a high-profile route, you have to be bullied and blackmailed by senior eunuchs and high-level palace maids." They couldn't offend the big celebrities who served the nobles, so they had to borrow money from me, the richest person in the entire farmyard, to honor them. Shallot suddenly stopped and looked at Bei Juese seriously, "Don't say that I don't care about you, master." You must remember that the first rule of survival in the palace: be low-key. The more low-key you are, the more low-key you are, the more low-key you are, the more low-key you are, the longer your life will last. ”
It sounds weird when someone who looks a little arrogant and looks like a big man comes to talk to you about the benefits of being low-key. Bei Juese was about to ask how to be low-key, but saw the onion stop the car and walk to a closed gate next to it and bang it hard.
It was a wooden door that used to be vermilion, and after years of baptism, most of the vermilion lacquer on it had already peeled off, and the moldy and rotten foot made the door look even more dilapidated. But the high wooden threshold, which is so new that it does not correspond to the rotten door at all. A hunchbacked old eunuch slowly opened the door from the inside, and behind it was a desolate and dilapidated compound lined with several equally dilapidated detached huts.
