Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

Ke'er hugged Wei Xian and sat down, Baili's buttocks touched the edge of a stone bench, "Your Highness, what are your orders?"

"Baili, how many people are there in the imperial guards of Nanqing Palace?"

"830 people."

"Where are the stewards and handymen?"

"There are six chief stewards, 13 deputy stewards, 22 minor stewards, six servants, 15 maids, 190 handymen, and 70 long-term workers employed by the mansion."

"Then are you the chief steward, the deputy steward, or the junior steward?"

Baili patted his head, "The little one is nothing, I just serve you alone, isn't it, it's you and the four of your highnesses."

"Then would you like to be the chief steward of the Nanqing Palace?"

"Hall... Your Highness... Chief Manager? Younger one?"

"Baili, since Li Guilu was beheaded by His Majesty, even the two deputy chief managers have left Nanqing Palace due to illness, and several of the stewards sent here by the third department have also left. You know, the monthly salary of the chief executive is 15 Two, there are still many rewards, it is a fat post, but no one dares to take it, this post has been vacant for almost three years, Nanqing Palace is so big, it is impossible to have no chief steward."

"Your Highness... the little one... I don't know anything... I don't know how to manage things..."

"Baili, sitting in a seat is enough to manage things."

"Small...no...not that big..."

"Yes, Baili, I know you can do it."

"small..."

"Baili, are you afraid?"

Baili looked at Defang, "For Your Highness, the little one is not afraid of anything, not even death, but... the little one is afraid... afraid of not being able to manage it well... Instead, it will cause trouble for His Highness..."

"No, as long as you are not afraid and dare to take this seat, that's enough."

Baili looked at Ke'er and Concubine Di, then at Defang, thought for a while, got up and knelt down, "Baili is not afraid, I would like to take this seat, Baili is stupid, he won't care or say anything, but Baili will Learn from others, Baili will use his life to protect the prince and empress and the little highnesses."

"Baili" Defang held Baili's shoulders, "I will definitely not let you have trouble."

"Thank you, my lord"

"It's the king who wants to thank you, Baili. Do you still remember that the king said in the early years that he would let you be the chief executive?"

"I remember it, I didn't expect it...it came true..."

"Yeah, I thought it would make you a great manager, but I never thought that this position would be life-threatening. Baili, bear with it, and you will get better."

"My lord, if Baili becomes the chief steward, he will definitely have a good time. Baili believes in his lord."

"Okay, okay." Defang nodded, "Ker, what about you?"

Ke'er was taken aback, "My lord...servant?"

"Yes, you and Baili are the most trusted people of this king and my empress. Baili will take over as the chief manager. This king hopes that you will help him manage all the affairs of this Nanqing Palace. Keer, you are diligent and careful, and you will definitely be able to." Help Baili to be the chief manager."

"Yes, my lord, this servant and Baili will do their best."

"Okay." Defang looked at the two of them, "I will order someone to report the matter to the Third Division in a while, and I will send you a formal order. Baili, you are the chief steward of Nanqing Palace."

"Thank you, my lord, Baili!" Baili kowtowed

"Get up quickly," Defang said, "Baili, Ke'er, take Xu'er and the others back to the inner courtyard to find someone to take care of them."

Baili and Ke'er walked away with their three children, Defang looked at Concubine Di, "Ma'am, you see that Baili and Ke'er have both agreed, should we reward them?"
