Chapter 257 Don't blame me for being vicious as an eyeliner
The General Office of the Red Castle is composed of a gate, screen wall, ceremonial gate, front hall, middle hall, and back hall. When entering the gate, you will be faced with a huge screen wall measuring three feet six feet wide and one foot six feet high. There are gates at the east and west corners. , and then Yimen.

As the name implies, the gate of ceremonies is the place where the host welcomes and sees off the guests. At this time, the etiquette procedures are complicated, and officials of different ranks have different welcome and send-off treatments. Generally, the ranks are the same. Enter through the door and enter the lobby together.

The rank is slightly lower, so they can only go through the corner gates on both sides of the Yimen. At this time, the Yimen is wide open, Zhang Cheng and others enter from the middle of the gate, An Shunfa guides in front, Liu Jinhai and Li Changsheng follow behind, and then That Xiaoqi Du Rucheng and those old soldiers all walked through the side door.

Zhang Cheng looked around, and found that the office was fairly tidy, and he hadn't been lazy in daily cleaning, and the floor was covered with green bricks and stone slabs, which looked very grand.

Soon everyone arrived at the lobby. There were five rooms and seven shelves, and there were side rooms on both sides. There was a colorful porcelain screen in the lobby, which was very delicate.

Generally, the lobby is mostly a ceremonial place. Major celebrations and important government affairs activities are mostly held here, but the daily military affairs are basically not here.

Looking at his lobby, Zhang Cheng nodded.

"General, this is conveniently the lobby. On both sides of the front of the hall are the gatehouse, prison room, stables, etc., as well as the dining hall, kitchen, courtyard, etc. of the subordinates.
Entering from the side doors on the east and west sides is the middle hall, which contains various public houses, class rooms, dormitories, etc., and the side door is connected to the barracks on the west, and then there is the back hall, which contains the official residence and the upper room.

In addition, the east and west roads are the east flower hall and the west flower hall, and there is a curtain hall on the east road. "

General Banner Anshunfa reported the report carefully with a very respectful expression.

Zhang Cheng nodded, and he was very satisfied with the Admiralty's Office. However, he is just passing by now and living here temporarily. As for the future, after the stability of Dushibao, he may be able to move here to work.

After watching for a while, everyone entered the middle hall from the east hanging flower gate. Those old soldiers can do nothing else. They can do sweeping and feeding horses by themselves. Take the war horse to the barracks to feed it, so that someone can take care of it."

After passing the flower wall through the hanging flower gate, the depth of the central hall is not as deep as the front hall, but it is quite wide. The main hall is still five rooms and seven frames, with two side rooms on each side, five wing rooms on the left and right, and corridors. The verandah is connected.

This is where Zhang Cheng handles military affairs on a daily basis. It is not as grand as the front hall. The middle hall is mainly for comfort. There are several large willow trees in the courtyard. There are some small courtyards where the generals and staff live.

On the side of the middle hall, there is a hanging flower door connected to the back hall. As the name suggests, the back hall is Zhang Cheng’s daily residence. The back hall here is also a courtyard with two entrances. There is an inner living room and study room in the front. Zhang Cheng can also meet and greet guests here in the future. office.

Backward courtyard, also known as the inner courtyard, is the place where the family members live in the deepest place. Outsiders are generally not allowed to enter. Those who can enter the inner living room are already Zhang Cheng's first-class confidants.

According to the boss, Banner An Shunfa, the backyard is connected to a garden with deep winding paths and a lake, which is a summer resort.

At this time, although the office is tidy, it still looks crude, but there are basic office furniture everywhere. The public room in the middle hall is also equipped with a small dining room and a kang for napping and resting. It is well-equipped, comfortable and convenient.

Zhang Cheng sat in the official hall of the middle hall, and Zhang Cheng ordered those women and all the veterans to be called over. Soon, fourteen veterans and six women came to the hall, together with Du Rucheng, they They all knelt and waited for Zhang Cheng to deal with him.

"You have already been assigned to work in the general's office. As long as you can do your best and do things for me, the general will not treat you badly. However, if anyone is the eyeliner of another family, then don't blame me. The method is vicious!"

Zhang Cheng's eyes were gloomy, and he spoke in a stern tone. The 22 people kneeling in the hall were terrified. They kowtowed like chickens pecking at rice, and said in their mouths:

"The villain dare not..."

"The villain must be loyal..."

Zhang Cheng waved his hand, called Li Changsheng, and told him to reward everyone in the hall with one tael of silver, while Du Rucheng and An Shunfa gave two taels of silver to each of them, and told them to buy some clothes and outfits, and they should not lose face to the General Administration. .

Then, he left Du Rucheng behind and told An Shunfa to lead the people down to get busy, especially tidy up the backyard and rest here tonight.

They were originally military households of Chi Castle, and they were used to being used by military leaders, so there was no salary to talk about at all. Today, Zhang Cheng just arrived, and he rewarded each of them with a tael of silver, and his heart was full of joy.

Zhang Cheng also inquired about the situation in the barracks of Li Changsheng and others. They were all Datong bunks for ten people, all with heated kangs, and there were four cabins, each of which could accommodate four people. In addition, there were stables and other places, with 500 people stationed People and horses are not a problem.

However, the firewood and horse feed were slightly insufficient, but they were enough for the moment. Then, Zhang Cheng led them into the inner courtyard to look around.

After leaving the official hall, he walked to the back hall with the guards, first looked at the study in the front yard and the inner living room, and then entered the back yard through the west corner door. At this moment, Zhang Cheng has no family members, so he has no scruples.

So he took all the guards to visit together. This inner courtyard, which is his daily living place, has seven main rooms here, and all the objects in it are fully furnished, including bedrooms, living rooms, and study rooms.

However, there are several east and west wing rooms in the inner courtyard, and they are all vacant for the time being, without any decoration.

Li Changsheng and others surrounded Zhang Cheng with lanterns. Zhang Cheng stood in the backyard garden, looking at the pond in front. As he began to control Shangbei Road, various people under his command gradually increased. There are all kinds of temperament and temperament, which is a test of his management ability!
…………

Zhang Cheng and the others returned to the central hall, called An Shunfa again, and said to him, "An Shunfa, from now on, you will be responsible for the cleaning of the office, and you will arrange for a woman to take care of it temporarily in the inner courtyard." Come on, as for the affairs of the outer court, let Du Rucheng be in charge."

An Shunfa agreed, he couldn't help taking a look at Du Rucheng, and thought, "What kind of luck did this brat have to be caught by the new guarding general?"

Zhang Cheng ignored him, and just told Du Rucheng: "Du Rucheng, tomorrow you go to select ten sergeants from the guard, and you must have those who have a family and are diligent and loyal to serve in the general's office. After making the selection, make a brochure and send it to Wu Shoubei.

Tonight, the guards will come all the way, and you will work hard. You go to find a shop, order some good wine and food, bring them to the barracks, and eat and drink with them.

Also, you must find a cook to come back to the office tomorrow to listen to him, and you want someone who is quick in his hands and feet. "
