277 Just yesterday, their family officially moved into Baihu Hall.
The territory of Baihu Hall is much larger than the mansion of Zheng Chuan where Chen Jie once lived. Moreover, it is not only a place to live, but also the power center of the entire Baihu Hall.
Baihu Hall is divided into two courtyards, inner and outer courtyards.
The outer courtyard is divided into three rooms, and the inner courtyard is divided into five parts.
The three outer rooms are the accounting office, the clerical room, and the guard room.
They are respectively responsible for the accounts of the entire White Tiger Hall, the management of internal items, and the management of the White Tiger Hall guards.
Then there is the inner courtyard.
The inner courtyard is divided into five departments, namely the kitchen department, the flower department, the eunuch department, the foreign servant department, and the carriage and horse department.
These five departments are responsible for the food, clothing, and daily life of the owner of the house. For example, the kitchen department is responsible for managing the cooks in the kitchen. Baihu Hall has its own cooks, and according to the rules, it needs to have three chefs and six assistants. Each chef must have his own signature cuisine to ensure that the owner can eat fresh dishes in a variety of ways.
Then there is the flower department, which in other words is the gardening department. The palace has gardeners, dog keepers, bird keepers, and fish keepers who are responsible for taking care of the flowers, birds, fish and insects throughout the palace, including the planting of lotus flowers in a large pond and other related issues.
Then there is the eunuch department. Eunuchs refer to maids. The maid team has also expanded from the original four maids to twelve now. The one in charge is Yin Hongmei and the second in charge is Cui Ju.
That's right, it was the little maid who wanted to climb onto Chen Jie's bed.
Then there is the External Service Department, which is mainly responsible for managing the domestic servants who clean the courtyard, as well as some maids.
They are mainly responsible for managing all external hygiene conditions. For example, if there are fallen leaves in the yard, they must clean them up in time and not neglect them.
The difference between eunuchs and maids is whether they work indoors or outdoors.
Maids are responsible for keeping the house clean and tidy, and their work needs to be meticulous, while the work of outside servants is relatively rough.
In addition to these, there is also a Chariot and Horse Department among the Five Departments. This department is specifically responsible for raising horses for Chen Jie and managing his travel.
The stable of the White Tiger Hall Master is not comparable to that of ordinary people. There are a total of twelve horses in this stable, including six top-quality horses, and four carriages.
Although according to the rules, the leader of the White Tiger Hall cannot use a two-horse carriage, which limits the size of the carriage, but the fact that he has four carriages to drive himself also shows the wealth of the White Tiger Hall.
Therefore, the Chariot and Horse Department also employed seven people, among whom the main person in charge was a sixty-year-old man.
This old man is very capable. Peng Shizhong used him when he was young. Not only is he good at raising horses, he is also a veterinarian. If a horse is sick, he can tell at a glance, so he is called the old horse herder.
In addition to the old horseman, there were three middle-aged men and three young ones.
The young ones are usually responsible for feeding the horses, the middle-aged ones are usually responsible for driving the carriage, and of course, when the hall master travels, the guards are usually in charge.
These are the five departments of the inner courtyard of the White Tiger Hall, and they are also the departments that Su Yunjin is responsible for managing. As the mistress of the house, she needs to be responsible for all the affairs of the inner courtyard. Moreover, Chen Jie is also planning to open a library in the inner courtyard. At that time, all the children of the meritorious disciples of the White Tiger Hall can be sent to study for free.
By then, the White Tiger Hall will help them train their children into talents, and after they finish their studies, they will be immediately given important positions.
This is Chen Jie's internal talent selection mechanism.
You can't keep going out to recruit these talents. The children of these meritorious disciples are all loyal to you. If you find them, train them from a young age, and brainwash them, won't they be your most loyal subordinates in the future?
This is also the prototype of the academic faction, the most powerful of the three major factions of Chen Jie's future regime.
This internal school gradually developed and became the cradle of talents under Chen Jie, and was called Mianshui College.
This college is divided into the College of Internal Affairs and the Military College.
Batches of young and strong forces loyal to Chen Jie were trained, and the content of study in this academy became more and more professional. At the beginning, they studied the Four Books and Five Classics with Su Yunjin. Later, Chen Jie incorporated some modern disciplines and modern concepts of later generations into it, creating a unique college system.
Of course, this is all later. Now the inner courtyard book hall has not yet opened, but Chen Jie has already allocated 3,000 taels of silver and designated an area in the backyard of the White Tiger Hall. The enrollment issue is all handed over to Su Yunjin. Chen Jie said to Su Yunjin: "I want you to become the best female teacher in the world in the future!"
"Your students will be all over the world in the future, and you will become the greatest teacher!"
This is the path that Chen Jie paved for Su Yunjin. Chen Jie wants to be the emperor, but when he becomes the emperor, sometimes people will change and they will weigh the pros and cons of certain things.
In the future, perhaps for political reasons, he will enter into political marriages with many powerful people, and all kinds of women will enter his harem, and he will be able to subdue them.
But what about Su Yunjin?
Can she defeat those jackals?
Let's not talk about anything else, just take Huang Wan'er for example. If a woman like this goes crazy, he is really afraid that his wife will be bullied, so he wants to help Su Yunjin find a way out.
Even if he becomes the greatest in the world, she must be the one by his side, unshakable.
So Chen Jie thought of education. Su Yunjin came from a scholarly family and liked teaching very much. This was her hobby.
Since it is a hobby, he should promote it. And he also happened to have the idea of establishing a school. No matter whether it is to manage a sect or anything else, education is always the most important thing.
Therefore, Chen Jie wanted to hand over the top position of his education system to Su Yunjin.
First of all, education is so important. If you replace someone who is not worthy of your trust, how can the students you teach be loyal to you?
Su Yunjin's love for herself is beyond words. Anyone could betray her, but she couldn't.
Therefore, she had to be the person in charge of the school.
Secondly, Chen Jie was planning for the future. If Su Yunjin could become the dean of this academy, there would be many people in his system who would come from her school in the future. Even though she may not be very important now, once Chen Jie really gets his destiny, he would become the supreme emperor.
Then these people will be staunch supporters of the Queen's Party!
At that time, Su Yunjin's position will be indestructible, and it will also be able to dispel the unreasonable thoughts of concubines who will enter the palace in the future!
Of course, some people will ask, if these people have become the Queen's Party, will they pose a threat to Chen Jie?
The answer is no, because Chen Jie will intervene in the college and offer a special course: Ideology and Morality.
One idea that will be constantly instilled in them is to always be loyal to Chen Jiusi.
Therefore, in the future, they support Queen Su Yunjin out of affection, and their loyalty to Chen Jie is a belief, and faith is always greater than affection!
Of course, these are just some of Chen Jie's many plans.
In addition, Chen Jie also has various reform systems regarding the economy, military, and politics, but he has no chance to implement them now. The White Tiger Hall is still too small to implement them at all. He can only carry out small-scale reforms, or pilot reforms.
In addition, Chen Jie also carried out reforms on the gang members.
For example, militarized management.
Chen Jie re-selected his disciples and picked out those with average qualities to use as ordinary disciples, specifically to manage some basic gang business such as local tax collection and debt collection.
However, a group of people with good qualities were selected and placed under Xiaohu's management.
All of these disciples have left their jobs and do not participate in any local business. They only do one thing: practice martial arts and cultivate themselves!
Chen Jie named them: White Tiger Guards.
He also organized the thirteen brave men who had been loyal to him and had chosen to stand firmly on his side when he was fighting with Feng Xuan into the captains of the White Tiger Guard.
Each person manages ten people, so there are only one hundred and thirty White Tiger Guards in total, but each one is carefully selected and has very strong combat effectiveness.
Moreover, Chen Jie spent a huge amount of money, taking out 20,000 taels of silver to buy medicinal materials and various elixirs. In the end, all the thirteen team leaders were pushed to the Liujin Realm, and more than one hundred White Tiger Guards were pushed to the Mopi Realm, and a small number entered the Lianrou Realm!
In addition, Chen Jie also asked Xiaohu to select twelve guards who were absolutely loyal to him. A large number of these guards were from Xiantao Village. The talent selection plan that was set up at the beginning was effective.
These talents were sent to the city one after another.
Chen Jie spent another sum of money, and finally pushed the cultivation of these guards to the Flesh Training Realm. It would take some time to enter the Dark Energy Realm, and Chen Jie didn't have much money left.
There were only 50,000 taels of silver copied from Feng Xuan. More than 30,000 taels were spent on training the army. Chen Jie needed to keep some of the rest in case he needed to buy some medicinal herbs.
In addition, Chen Jie also gave the bone-strengthening pills that he and Doctor Bai had made to Xiaohu and Zhou Chu.
Xiaohu is quite capable and officially entered the Iron Bone Realm at noon yesterday.
Zhou Chu was not so good, but when he came this morning, his face was rosy and his strength had reached the Iron Bone Realm!
In this way, the reputation of Baihu Hall can be maintained.
Then there are the arrangements regarding some of the elders in Baihu Hall.
Uncle Fu was invited back by Chen Jie. In addition, there were also Peng Shizhong's Twelve Eagle Guards. After a purge, Eagle Two and six defectors who surrendered to Feng Xuan were eliminated. Finally, there were four left. They were all invited back by Chen Jie and served as instructors of the White Tiger Guards.
Chen Jie discovered that Uncle Fu was very good at training talents.
After Xiaohu was trained by him, he was completely transformed. Chen Jie appointed Fu Bo as the chief instructor of the White Tiger Guard and the other four Eagle Guards as adjutants.
Uncle Fu's strength is at the Iron Bone Realm, and the Eagle Guards are all masters of dark energy and are all experienced. With them training the White Tiger Guards, there is no need to worry about the White Tiger Guards' combat effectiveness.
In addition, there is his third brother, Lu Rong, who is also in the Iron Bone Realm, but his leg was broken by Qin Ying, so he has not been here these days.
The first thing Chen Jie did yesterday morning was to go see his third brother.
After a brief and effective communication, my third brother expressed his support for me.
However, Chen Jie still stated that the management of his third brother's Hutou Street would remain the same and would be based on the treatment given to Peng Shizhong during his time.
Lu Rong was very moved after hearing this, but he said that his leg might not be able to cope with the situation, so even though Chen Jie expressed his willingness to let him continue to manage Hutou Street.
But he didn't have such an idea. Instead, he wanted to be an instructor in the White Tiger Guard like Uncle Fu.
Chen Jie didn't know whether his third brother was smart or stupid. Giving up his own territory was equivalent to giving up his autonomy, but joining the White Tiger Guard meant not leaving the core of the White Tiger Hall.
It seems that this instructor's status is far less powerful than that of the manager of Hutou Street, but the White Tiger Guard is Chen Jie's direct subordinate. His coming in means that he has taken the initiative to get closer to Chen Jie, and he can be given important tasks in the future!
On the contrary, if he stayed in Hutou Street, he would be able to dominate the world, but when Chen Jie took off again, he would not be able to keep up, and perhaps he would only be a manager of Hutou Street for the rest of his life.
But it's different when you join the White Tiger Guard.
This is considered Chen Jie's direct descendant.
Therefore, Lu Rong's choice was very smart. He gave up short-term interests and became the core of Chen Jie. Then, relying on the brotherhood between him and Chen Jie, as long as he did not do anything too extreme, his future would be bright!
Of course, what Lu Rong did was also beneficial to Chen Jie, as Chen Jie could now unify the planning of the entire Baihutang industry.
Chen Jie handed over almost all of these industries to Zhou Chu, who became the steward who managed all kinds of industries on behalf of Chen Jie.
Xiaohu has a high talent for martial arts, strong strength, and is in charge of military affairs.
Zhou Chu is very versatile, flexible and has good management skills, so apart from military affairs, all management matters within the gang were handed over to him.
Moreover, Baihutang now has many industries, including Nanhu Salt Field, Beishan Iron Mine, four streets, and three village fish pens.
With all these industries added together, it is no exaggeration to say that it is the third largest gang in Mianshui.
Chen Jie also gave all the people except the military talents to Zhou Chu, so Zhou Chu suddenly had more than 400 more people under him, all of whom were former disciples of the White Tiger Hall. Chen Jie found that the staff were not enough, so he planned to recruit another 100 disciples from the three subordinate villages and towns to enter the city.
Therefore, Zhou Chu may have more than 500 people under him in the future, and he will really become a big shot in Mianshui County.
Chen Jie also gave Feng Xuan's former residence to Zhou Chu, and Zheng Chuan's house to Xiaohu.
These two are his right-hand men.
In response, Xiaohu said that it was not necessary. He did not want to be too far away from Chen Jie, because he not only served as the chief of the White Tiger Guard, but also as the commander of Chen Jie's twelve guards, which was equivalent to the position of Fu Bo before.
By the way, Peng Shizhong's guards were previously called the Twelve Eagle Guards, and since Chen Jie's twelve guards were led by Xiaohu, Chen Jie called them the Twelve Tiger Guards!
