Some people have speculated that Chen Guanlou used Sun Daoning's connections. However, this is quite mysterious and many people do not believe it. Why? Sun Daoning is a typical scholar. In everyone's impression, he is aloof, a little rigid, and a little stubborn. Obviously not a veteran official. Could such a person be bribed by Chen Guanlou? Many people expressed doubts. The right assistant minister is more likely. Anyway, it's all speculation, it doesn't matter if you talk nonsense, guessing the Jade Emperor. For this kind of thing, the person involved will never stand up and admit it, and pretend to know nothing. In the time it takes to eat a meal, Xu Fugui forgave Zhang the jailer. Zhang the jailer was full of energy. Xu Fugui thought about it for a while, took the initiative to come to the office, talked about this and that, and finally asked carefully, "Sir, the C-shaped prison is also looking forward to your time to inspect twice and guide our work. If there is anything wrong, please feel free to teach me."
He was clearly envious of the next door B-shaped prison, and wanted to learn from Chen Guanlou, and also to find someone to take the blame... endorsement. In short, he came for money. Chen Guanlou hummed, looking at Xu Fugui deeply, "Taking advantage of the lunch break, I flipped through the account book of the C-shaped prison, and it has been a bit bleak in the past two years." "Yes, yes! The people in the C-shaped prison are almost too poor to make ends meet." Xu Fugui took the opportunity to complain, "A bunch of poor haha, it's really hard to deduct money." Does the hero have money? Occasionally, I have money, and I spend it. When they have spent all their money, they will sleep in the open air or go to the homes of local rich people to beg for money. The real wealthy families, the heroes are sensible and will not provoke them. Because they can't afford to provoke them. The wealthy families all have martial arts thugs, and it is not certain who will beat whom when a fight really breaks out. Anyway, when the heroes are caught, they usually have few coins on them. Family members? Even the names may be fake, where can they find family members? Tens of thousands of miles away? Bandits? The officers and soldiers are not fools. When arresting bandits, can they not search their bodies and mountains? They would like to strip the bandits of their underwear, and it is impossible for them to leave money for the jailers to blackmail. Gangsters? This kind of people are usually rich, but also the most slippery. They can squeeze money out of them, but how much money they can squeeze out depends on the acting skills of the gangsters and the means of the jailers. In a word, half of the prisoners in the C-shaped prisons are paupers. Among the three prisons, the C-shaped prison is the poorest, but the gambling is the craziest. There is a feeling of breaking the jar and not caring about tomorrow. Of course, Xu Fugui is definitely not poor, he just has the habit of being poor. In the officialdom, everyone eats public food together, remember not to show off your wealth, even if you are really rich, don't show off even if you have been rich for hundreds of years. Eating and drinking are all small things, the most feared thing is to be hated by villains and secretly kill. Officials never kill people with blood, they always use shadowless knives. Chen Guanlou tutted his tongue twice, "Jailer Xu is guarding a treasure mountain but doesn't know how to use it. The prisoners have no money, so let them exchange their skills. For example, take the martial arts secrets, find someone to copy them, and then sell them to the outside. Or cooperate with the martial arts halls in the city, provide secrets, and make the tuition 50% of the tuition, and make it a long-term business." Xu Fugui was stunned, "This, can it be operated this way. Are those so-called secrets of the prisoners valuable?"
"Whether they are valuable or not depends on who you sell them to." Chen Guanlou casually perfunctorily said, "You go back and think about this matter carefully, and I will also think about how to do it specifically for you. The premise is to manage your people well, abide by the rules and don't mess around. Be trustworthy and abide by the rules, the prisoners will cooperate sincerely, and you can get the real secrets. Go back and make a charter, I'll see your ideas first." Chen Guanlou didn't want to talk in depth, and sent Xu Fugui away with a few words. Xu Fugui walked out of the office, still a little dazed, can this business really be done? Can it work? He was half-believing and half-doubting. But when he thought of Chen Guanlou's reputation as a golden hand, maybe it was really feasible. As for the specific rules, his mind was in a mess, how could there be any rules. After suppressing the two biggest troublemakers, Zhang and Xu Fugui, the other jailers were not worth mentioning. Money is the courage of people, and it is also the courage of people who eat public food. Which department can generate income and make more money, the voice will be louder and more confident. What can the unrevenged yamen do? They can only smile. The other jailers all rely on the three big prisons for their livelihood. Zhang and Xu Fugui compromised and showed their loyalty with their actions. Even if the other jailers have some shameful thoughts, they can only keep them silently. ... In the evening, Chen Guanlou came to Master Du's house with a pot of wine and two pounds of braised meat. I haven't come to ask for advice for a long time, and I miss it. The one who opened the door was Master Du's eldest grandson, named Du Yuefeng. He is only a few years older than him, of medium height, and has been studying in his hometown. Seriously speaking, the Du family seems to have some genes for studying, but not much. Everyone can study, but they have no chance of fame. Their talent for studying is really inferior. Du Shoufu, the eldest son of Master Du, has not been able to pass the examination for the title of scholar, and is an old student. He has been a student for more than ten or twenty years, tsk... He also has martial veins, but he is only a first-class warrior, and he is too old to make any progress. It can be seen that whether it is studying or practicing martial arts, his talent is really not very good. Du Yuefeng is even worse than his father. He has not even passed the examination for a student, and has no martial veins. Master Du is still a scholar after all. The three generations of the Du family are typical of one generation being worse than the next, and the gene for studying is being diluted at a visible speed. I am afraid that by the time of Du Yuefeng's next generation, it will be difficult to even read. I wonder if the women in the family are too stupid and have passed it on to their children. Rumor has it that the child's IQ is mainly inherited from the mother. I silently shed a tear of sympathy for Master Du. No wonder Master Du risked his face to bring his children and grandchildren to the capital, so that they could at least have a future and make some money. However, Master Du has more than one son. I don't know how talented his other sons are, and whether they have passed the imperial examinations. Du Yuefeng was very happy to see Chen Guanlou, with a sincere smile on his face, "Uncle Lou is here! My grandfather talks about you every day. Uncle Lou is here, why are you so polite?" Hearing the name Uncle Lou, Chen Guanlou felt very happy, but also a little uncomfortable. He was still a young man, but was called uncle by outsiders! The generation was raised all of a sudden, which felt a little weird. This is really different from the nephews and nieces in the family calling him uncle. Nephews and nieces are blood relatives, so calling him uncle is natural. Du Yuefeng is a person of another surname, and there is no blood relationship. It is just because of Master Du. He is a young man of the same age. Chen Guanlou laughed, "Your grandfather is at home." "Yes, yes. I look forward to your coming every day. Uncle Lou, please come this way." "I know your family well, go and take care of yourself." "That won't work. Isn't it impolite? Grandpa and father will beat me if they know." Du Yuefeng's education is not in vain, and he is very polite.
