Because of Jia Kai's arrival, it was impossible for Lin Haoming to be as comfortable as before. Xiaomei and Yu'er both took the initiative to retreat. Only Lin Zhen had a good relationship with Qiniang, and as the head of Lin's trading firm, he had a close relationship with Jia Kai. Kai also had a lot of dealings with him, so he stayed.
"Where's Siyue?" Qiniang knew who was in charge here, so she subconsciously asked Lin Zhen when the hostess was gone.
"The master will be here today, and she took the initiative to cook. Mr. Jia, you are in for a treat this time!" Lin Zhen explained with a smile.
"Oh, I also admire Mrs. Shu's craftsmanship!" Jia Kai also responded.
"In that case, Mr. Jia will have to eat more later!" At this moment, Shu Siyue also walked in, followed by several maids. It was obvious that the work in the kitchen had been completed.
"Of course!" Jia Kai agreed with a smile.
"Now that it's done, let's eat and talk together. Lin Zhen, go and call Yu'er and Xiaomei out too!" Lin Haoming took the initiative.
Lin Haoming said this, obviously indicating the status of these people in the family. Naturally, Lin Zhen immediately agreed happily and left.
Jia Kai glanced at Lin Haoming subconsciously. In his opinion, among the women around Lin Haoming, apart from Shu Siyue, Lin Zhen was quite powerful, and the others were not so bad. However, he did not expect that in Lin Haoming's heart, they were quite powerful. He has weight, and he doesn’t know how his sister feels in the other person’s heart.
Originally he was just a subordinate, but now he had to try to figure out his boss's thoughts. Jia Kai couldn't help but laugh at himself when he thought about it.
After everyone sat down, Lin Haoming took the initiative to take out a jar of Jiuhua Brew and poured it for everyone.
Jia Kai was also a person who knew the goods. He recognized it as soon as the wine was filled. He thought highly of Lin Haoming. When the white swordfish entered his mouth, he felt the pure vitality contained in its meat and finally couldn't help but ask: "Brother, Tai Miao Realm and his team seem to have gained a lot. I have never seen this fish before. Could it be something from Tai Miao Realm?"
"Master Jia, you are also from Taimiao Hall. You guessed it right. The name of this fish is white swordfish. I brought it out from Taimiao Realm. It was just some dead fish. The people who checked the harvest ignored it. It's free for me." Lin Haoming said.
"Hey! It is said that people who come out of Tai Miao Realm are different. This fish alone is worth no less than a few sun crystals. Qiniang will be blessed in the future. As an elder brother, I can finally remove the thorn in my heart. Yes!" Jia Kai sighed.
"Brother, I have never blamed you!" Qiniang said softly.
"Hehe, I know, it would be nice to see you live a good life. Brother Lin, although you have advanced to Shenxuan now and are on par with me, if you are unworthy of Qiniang, I, Jia Kai, will fight I won’t back down anymore, and Qiniang can’t afford to be hurt anymore!” Jia Kai said solemnly.
"Don't worry, as long as Qiniang stays, I will never give up. In fact, it is my blessing to have such a good woman by my side!" Lin Haoming expressed his feelings again.
"Okay, okay!" Jia Kai received Lin Haoming's assurance again and felt more relieved.
Because Lin Haoming planned to settle down a little before bringing Qiniang over, the marriage was not discussed for the time being. After three rounds of drinking, the atmosphere gradually became more relaxed. Jia Kai finally mentioned that he wanted to get rid of the guards and government officials during the day. After all, the patrol officer's government office was next door, so things spread quickly.
After hearing this, Lin Haoming also smiled slightly and said: "This is indeed true. I will not take any of the people who did not arrive on time on duty. In fact, I want to get rid of all those people. I just went too far because I was afraid that the little devils below would cause trouble. , and then he restrained himself a little. Anyway, the new official has three things to do when he takes office, and most people will not deliberately jump out to oppose him at such a time."
"My brother is right, but there is one thing that I cannot help but mention. Except for some of the people left in your place, they have no background. Many of them actually only occupy a position and get a share of food and salary. What you call getting rid of People, basically these are the people!" Jia Kai said truthfully.
"Oh! This is too presumptuous. Even if there has not been a host there for more than ten years, it is Bill's place after all. I have only heard of eating one's own subordinates' free wages, but never heard of eating other people's?" Lin Haoming After hearing this, I couldn't help but laugh.
"Who are they?" After finishing laughing, Lin Haoming asked again.
"There are many origins of people, but generally speaking, they are all done by one person, and there are not many people in the entire Dishan City who are capable of doing this. To put it simply, these people are all retired officials. The owner of the house is Zhu Li's way," Jia Kai said bluntly.
"Zhu Li, this person also became the head of the official house after Gong Lihai took office, right?" Lin Haoming asked.
"Yes, after Gong Lihai took office, his biggest move was to control the people with official hats and money bags. The first three hundred years were dedicated to paving the way for these two things. First, it was Han Chengzhang, the head of the house, and later he was the official. The owner of the house is Zhu Li." Jia Kai said with a wry smile.
Jia Kai's words were obviously not talking about how good those two people are. Obviously, both of them have problems. It can be seen from what Zhu Li did. Lin Haoming also believes that if it weren't for the things he promised to Qiniang before, it wouldn't be possible. Even if it changes, Jia Kai will not say these words so openly and honestly.
"Then if I get rid of those people, won't I offend Zhu Li?" Lin Haoming asked self-deprecatingly.
"It's not that big of a deal. When Zhu Li put so many people in your place, it was a matter of overstepping the boundaries. In the past, it was easy to talk about it if you weren't here. Now that you're here, even if you clean them up, no one will say anything about you. It's wrong, if all this is pursued, Zhu Li should be finished." Jia Kaidao.
"That's true, but I don't have anyone available around me at the moment! I used Liu Kai well before, but I wonder where he is now?" Lin Haoming asked.
"He is the nephew of Liu Xian Cheng, and he is really working in Dishan City now. If you need someone, I can help you get him right away." Jia Kai understood Lin Haoming's intention and immediately agreed.
"Thank you very much. Besides, I have some people here. It would be best to get them over, but most of them are in Xilin County!" Lin Haoming took out a list and handed it to Jia Kai.
Jia Kai knew that Lin Haoming trusted him by doing this. It can be seen that because of Qiniang's relationship, the two of them really stand together.
"So they are all your old subordinates. This is easy!" Jia Kai glanced at them and agreed with a smile. "Besides these, is there anything else you need my help with?" Jia Kai continued to ask.
"You're right. None of the people in our government office are capable of doing anything. Even half of them are not qualified to be ordinary guards and government servants. At least these people need to be filled!" Lin Haoming said.
"This is easy too. I have guards in the torture chamber itself. When I transfer Liu Kai, I will transfer him to you as well!" Jia Kai said happily.
"Thank you!" Jia Kai's cheerfulness indeed allowed Lin Haoming to solve the urgent need at hand.
