Chapter 25: The Scroll Hall

The top boss, Gong Shouli, was in his forties, with a strong body, a dark complexion, a pockmarked face, extremely ugly, and he limped when he walked, like a sad duck.

The attitude towards Xiao Chen was also cold.

"You are a rare scholar among our eunuchs, and the emperor has also entrusted you with important tasks, so you will do it well in the future." The opening remarks don't sound like that.

"You're new to the city, you don't know anything, and I don't dare to give you important errands to do, let's learn for a year and a half first."

This is not good, it is equivalent to hanging our Xiao Chen on the wall as a photo! It's going to be a year and a half......

"But we don't raise idlers either, so aren't you literate? In the future, I will be in charge of the storage volume, sort out the chapters over the years, and list them clearly, I don't know when the emperor will see them, if I can't find them then, hehehe......"

I don't know if it's an illusion, Xiao Chen always felt that Gong Shouli's laughter was murderous.

"Huh!"

When he arrived at the storage hall where the music was stored, Xiao Chen's nose was almost crooked.

There were seven or eight cold black rooms, with thousands of black-lacquered wooden boxes for the concerta, and many of them scattered outside, piled up in such a mess and scattered on the ground.

"Ugh!" One accidentally almost tripped and fell to the ground.

"Father-in-law pay attention!" A few little eunuchs who came with him hurriedly came over to help.

"Why is it so black that there isn't even a window?" Xiao Chen lost his temper.

"Back to Father-in-law Xiao, our storage hall is an important place to store the chapter files, and there must be no windows, and there can be no oil lamps and candles." A little eunuch hurriedly replied.

Since it's a heavy land, why is it so messy inside? Doesn't anyone care about it?

It's really no one cares.

Because the Great Zhou Dynasty was founded not long ago, it was only a little more than a year since he entered the palace, and the establishment of the celebrant supervisor was not long, 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, and he could ignore it when it was such an important place.

If he hadn't wanted to give Xiao Chen a ride, he wouldn't have remembered that there was such a place in the division.

However, almost all the 100 official seals approved by the emperor's cabinet, except for the confidential and important ones, were sent to the storage hall, and there was no need to register, let alone a receipt, and it was all over if they were thrown in directly......

All the bastards in the Scroll Hall are all gathered by Lao Tzu!

Among the dozens of eunuchs and eunuchs in the courtyard, all of them were trembling, because this newly promoted father-in-law was obviously not in a good mood.

The big guy inevitably has to eat melons.

"Who is the master of the house?" Xiao Chen's majestic gaze swept over everyone.

"Back to Father-in-law Xiao, our hall master died of illness before, and no one is in charge of things at present." An old eunuch in his fifties replied softly.

"What's your name? Do you know how to read? Xiao Chen looked at this person with a polite temperament, as if he had studied.

"Back to Father-in-law Xiao's words, the villain Zhao Xicai also knows a little bit of words." In that case, it must be someone who has read the book.

"From today onwards, you have the right to act as the hall master, and you are directly responsible for me, and within seven days, you will organize all the pieces in the treasury for me, and you must list them according to the time, province, and person's name, and make their own records!"

"Grandpa Xiao, there are thousands of concerts here, there are just so many of us, and half of them are illiterate, even if they want a small life within seven days, they can't do it!"

Zhao Xicai knelt down with a puff.

"The literate do the fine work, and the illiterate do the foul language, do you still need me to teach you? I will give you the power of life and death, if anyone dares to have the slightest slack or disobedience, you can dispose of it, it doesn't matter if you are killed, I will bear the responsibility! ”

"I want to see results in half a month! If you can't do it, go and throw yourself into the well. "Xiao Chen is not unreasonable.

"Huh!" Zhao Xicai didn't dare to say any more.

"Pack up a room for me, and I'll be sitting here from this day forward...... What are you still doing? Drill it for me! Xiao Chen's face turned slightly pale, this is not angry, it is frozen.

People are freezing to death outside, dogs are freezing to death in the house, there are no windows in the storeroom, the sun can't shine in, and you can't make a brazier, it's extremely cold.

Xiao Chen only stood and watched for a while, his hands and feet were about to freeze numb, and the eunuchs who were working were even more miserable, hissing one by one, stomping their feet and rubbing their hands, and the snot flowed to their faces and instantly froze into ice......

Not to mention half a month in this working environment, it can't be done in half a year!

Looks like we're going to have to figure out something.

At noon, several eunuchs ran to the room to get several large buckets of food, the staple food was cold corn and white flour mixed with steamed buns, and the dish was cabbage and tofu soup, which did not even have a little oil and water, but the big guy gobbled it up and ate it sweetly.

Xiao Lizi and Xiao Fengzi also brought him lunch, but it was a four-layer sandalwood food box tightly wrapped in thick cotton.

A roast chicken, a roast duck, a large plate of beef in sauce, a large plate of roasted deer tendons, and a casserole with mutton stewed radish, all steaming hot on the table, fragrant.

There was also a pot of soju that was hot to the touch......

Zhao Xicai and a group of eunuchs suddenly felt that the steamed vegetable soup in their hands was not fragrant, and they looked at him together, swallowing saliva one after another.

"I'm not hungry, let's give it to the big guys." As soon as Xiao Chen's words fell, dozens of eunuchs flew up together, and instantly snatched up the four dishes and one soup.

"Let the horses pull the cart, you have to give the horses grass, Xiao Lizi, you go to the room to pass on my order, let's save the daily food in the volume hall according to the standard of five taels of silver, I will pay for it myself!"

"Huh!" Xiao Lizi took the order and rushed away.

The eunuchs were stunned for a moment when they heard this, and then they cheered in unison, almost lifting the roof!

"Oh, Grandpa Xiao, how did you break the money personally? Five taels of silver a day, it's too much! Zhao Xicai happily snorted.

"Everyone works so hard, how can they not eat well...... Xiao Fengzi, you go to the Imperial Prison and the Shangyi Prisoner, and find me their one to take care of! ”

Xiao Chen not only has to solve the problem of eating for the big guys, but also has to solve the problem of heating.

Hearing that the newly promoted eunuch Xiao Gonggong was summoned, the two eunuchs in charge of the prison department, Liu Fuhai and Zhang Dafu, did not dare to slack off, and immediately rushed to obey the order!

Without saying a word, kneel down and kowtow first to say hello, which is full of sincerity.

"Zhang Dafu, you see that their cotton clothes are too shabby, and they can't do anything in this cold room......"

Before Xiao Chen finished speaking, Zhang Dafu understood and hurriedly said: "We have ready-made cotton clothes there, go back and report the size, and I'll let someone send it over." ”

"This is something extraordinary, I personally pay for the silver......" Xiao Chen nodded with satisfaction.

"Look at what Grandpa Xiao said! Can this little bit of stuff still make your old man break the bank? It's all small for you! Zhang Dafu tried his best to stammer.

"Well, in that case, I'll bother you." Xiao Chen commended the head.

"Isn't it all supposed to be?" Zhang Dafu's big mouth was about to crack to the root of his ear.
