After leaving Courtyard No. 37, Chen Guanlou went to the restaurant and ordered a few signature dishes at random. He was alone and carefree. After receiving the house given by Jiang Tu, Jiang Tu's order was completely completed. Next, he had to remind Sun Daoning that no matter whether it was the prison warden or a few percentages of Jiang Tu's property, he should quickly fulfill the original big and small cakes. Sun Daoning had painted a cake at the beginning, and he swallowed it whole. He completed the task assigned and waited for the surname Sun to keep his promise. Send someone to remind the surname Sun not to forget him. The surname Sun actually sent someone to pass on a message, asking him to wait a little longer. Now is the critical moment, and he dare not be distracted. However, his appointment letter as the prison warden was officially issued. The prisoner Chen suddenly became the prison warden Chen, and also served as the prisoner of the Jia-shaped prison. As for the little prisoner Fan who has not shown up for many years, no one cares about him. If it weren't for the old Lord Fan working in the Ministry of Justice, the little prisoner Fan would have been sent to sit on the bench long ago. He had stepped into the prison chief's office countless times, but this was the first time he sat on the prison chief's chair, holding the official seal and wearing the ninth-rank robe. What a handsome official.
From a clerk to a ninth-rank official, countless people have spent their entire lives trying to cross this gap. Officials are officials! Clerks are clerks! Don't mess up the order and rules of the officialdom! However, Chen Guanlou was young, and in just over a year, he had crossed the gap that other clerks had found difficult to cross in their entire lives. He is now half a clerk and half an official. Others would care about the low status of clerks, and if they were promoted, they would never be willing to hold the position concurrently. However, Chen Guanlou had no such prejudiced ideas, he only sought practical benefits. The position of a clerk in a large prison made him eat so much that he looked down on the clerks? He couldn't eat meat and smash the pot at the same time. Anyway, he had done a lot of unorthodox things, and it wouldn't be surprising if he did one more. If others didn't understand his ideas, he didn't need to force them. He just wanted to be at ease. The jailers lined up neatly and came to the office to meet the warden formally. This time, even the logistics guys came, which was considered to be a great honor. When other warden took office, the logistics guys did not show their faces, and they insisted on doing their own thing and not interfering with each other. This time it was considered to be a precedent. Chen Guanlou grinned, "Okay, okay! We are all good brothers. We will do our job according to the rules, and everyone will get money and eat meat." Facing a group of rough guys, he did not learn from other warden to say some flowery words, nor did he show his power on the first day, nor did he emphasize his rules. Instead, he told everyone directly that if they followed him, they would get money, meat, and women. Just ask everyone if they obey? "I obey!" "Master Chen is the prison warden, and this is what everyone wants." "If anyone doesn't obey, I will beat him to death."
One by one, they rushed to show their loyalty and presented "meeting gifts". Chen Guanlou accepted them one by one with a smile and encouraged them one by one. Regarding the meeting gifts, he privately said that he would abolish the rules of the prison warden Lei and follow the old rules when Master Fan was in office. This move was unanimously supported by all the prison guards. In those days, Prison Warden Fan was a serious scholar who paid attention to his eating manners and made money steadily. Although he went crazy for a while in order to run for office. Overall, Master Fan was a qualified and barely popular prison warden. He did better than the successors. The prison guard Fan was blessed by Master Fan and had been eating empty salaries in Tianlao for many years. Everyone tolerated him and no one had ever proposed to remove him. The main reason was that everyone remembered Master Fan's kindness. Few scholars served as prison warden. Old Master Fan let everyone in the Tianlao know that scholars pay attention to their eating manners, and compared with the rough guys who climbed up from the bottom, they are so elegant. Scholars love money, but they also pay attention to decency. However, rough guys like Lei Yucheng have ugly eating manners, and they are completely obsessed with money. They only focus on money and can't see anything else. Their greed is shocking, and they deserve to be punished. In comparison, Old Master Fan has more rules, is more particular, is more difficult to serve, and looks down on the jailers. But he pays attention to decency, extorts money and follows rules, and this alone overshadows all his shortcomings. Now Chen Guanlou has restored the old rules set by Old Master Fan at that time, and it has achieved very good results and has been supported by everyone. Today is his first day in office. He doesn't arrange work, just to have fun. Considering that all the jailers have to work, he directly asked the restaurant to prepare more than a dozen tables of banquets and send them to Tianlao so that the jailers can eat happily. Those who don't work, as well as the jailers, let him go to the restaurant to be free and easy. After eating and drinking, he went to the brothel again. He paid for the whole set in advance and didn't let the jailers pay out of their own pockets. This made the jailers very excited. They were drunk and came to him and patted their chests to show their loyalty. If there was anything, he would just ask for help and would go through fire and water without hesitation. Jailer Zhang seemed to have let go of his knot and toasted Chen Guanlou with three glasses of wine, which was considered to be a farewell. Chen Guanlou patted his shoulder and said, "The B-shaped prison has great potential. Let's sit down and think about it in a few days to see how to improve it. What do you think, jailer Zhang?" "It's all up to you, Lord Chen!" Chen Guanlou smiled and said, "That's great!" He doesn't care whether the other person is sincere or not, as long as he can follow his footsteps, complete the tasks he assigned, and abide by the rules of the prison, he won't care about it. He could also turn a blind eye to some actions in private and retain the autonomy of the B-shaped prison as much as possible. Xu Fugui, an old man, spits out basketfuls of good words, which is called Shunliu. "Master Chen, if you have anything to do, just give me your orders, no matter the swords or mountains of fire." "I am familiar with the C-shaped prison. Let's have a chat tomorrow to see if there is room for improvement. Warden Xu, you are a senior and an elder. You will definitely support me, right?" "Don't worry, Mr. Chen. I support it 100%. Those bastards in the C-shaped prison need a beating from Mr. Chen so that they all know how to abide by the rules." "That's good! Regarding beating the jailer, I summarized my experience in the A-shaped prison and we will discuss it tomorrow." "What Mr. Chen says will be whatever it is, and I promise not to compromise on it." Next, Chen Guanlou talked to several of his confidants. He had high hopes for Xiao Jin, "I originally preferred you to take over the post of jailer, but your qualifications are too junior and you are not outstanding in other aspects. If I were to step down as warden at this time, I would be afraid of you. The prison is unstable. The A-shaped prison is the source of wealth, so there can be no mistakes. I will take over the job first, and you will learn more during this period and make more achievements. When the time is right, I will let you take over.
Xiao Jin was so excited that tears filled his eyes. "My lord's love and promotion are unforgettable. As long as my lord has given you instructions, I will go through fire and water without hesitation." "You don't have to say it so seriously. I plan to run this place in Tianlao smoothly and put my stamp on it sooner or later. Talk to the people below carefully and keep in step with me. Don't have any second thoughts. If anyone doesn't follow the rules and mess up, Come on, if you mess up my big deal, I will turn my back on you."
