Chapter 404 Recommended Talent
After leaving the backyard of the other courtyard, Bai Jinli brought Xiangming and others back to the small courtyard next to the tea garden.

At this time, everyone has already gone to the tea garden to be busy.

It is almost April now, and she has learned from her understanding that Longjing tea in the tea garden can be picked during the Qingming Festival and Grain Rain.

Counting it, there are not many days until tea picking, so there is still a lot of work in the tea garden.

Of course, this is also a good thing for Bai Jinli.

After the spring tea is picked, she can just change the tea garden into what she wants.

As for the picked spring tea, it can also be sold as in previous years, without affecting others.

Sitting in the yard basking in the sun, Bai Jinli called Liu Luo out and asked her.

"While I was away, did anyone come over and recommend themselves as a steward?"

"Boss, no. After we rested for a while, we went to work in the tea garden." Liu Luo shook her head.

"Oh. It seems that the manager has to recruit outside!" Bai Jinli couldn't help but sighed softly.

"If the owner needs someone to manage the manor, the younger one can recommend one." Liu Luo said tentatively.

"Oh? Who?"

"Boss, there used to be a man named Xu Bocai in the tea garden. He used to be an old man in the servant's mansion who was responsible for purchasing goods. He was righteous and knew how to measure. He was appreciated by the servant because of his beautiful work.

He was originally going to be promoted to deputy housekeeper, but because of this incident, he was envied by the original housekeeper in the servant's mansion. He didn't take precautions in time. After being framed by the housekeeper for embezzlement and theft, his leg was broken, and the little finger of his right hand was chopped off, and he was sent to the manor Come.

Manager Zhao despised him for being unable to work because of a broken leg, so he kept him in the back of the yard like a dog and kept him in captivity without letting him die.The people in the manor felt sorry for him, and would visit him from time to time. In return, he would teach everyone some basic business knowledge.

Boss, although Uncle Xu has suffered all these and has become a useless person, but his ability is still there, definitely stronger than Steward Zhao's ability, and he will never do anything to betray his master. Boss may wish to consider him. "

Hearing what Liu Luo said, Bai Jinli became somewhat interested in the person she was talking about, Xu Bocai.

After verification, Liu Luo's words are quite reliable, and there is no suspicion of embellishing her.

Since she can say that, it means that Xu Bocai is really talented.

And even though they were bullied like this, they didn't give up, which is also worthy of admiration.

"Go, go see him in the backyard."

"Boss, over here, I'll take you there." Liuluo heard that and hurriedly led Bai Jinli to the backyard.

The environment of this small courtyard is far worse than the other courtyards next to it, and the backyard is also very simple.

When Liuluo led Bai Jinli to a simple shed in the backyard, she spoke.

"Uncle Xu, are you there? The new master has come to see you."

Her voice fell, and the sound of iron chains colliding came from inside, followed by an old and somewhat peaceful voice.

"New master? Liuluo girl, is there a new master in the manor?"

After Bai Jinli looked at the small and simple shed, she winked at Erhuo and said, "Erhuo, go and open the door and let the people inside out."

"Yes."

Er Huo walked over, and with two or three strokes, he removed the wooden door outside the shed, and took out a thin piece from his bosom to fiddle with on the iron chain.

After a while, the iron chains that locked Xu Bocai made a clicking sound, and Xu Bocai was finally free.

"You are the new master, right? The villain Xu Bocai thanks the new master."

As soon as he was freed, Xu Bocai burst into tears.

"Well, Pan Zi, take him down to wash and change clothes first, and then take him to meet me in the front yard." Bai Jinli nodded.

"Yes, ma'am."

Taking another look at the dilapidated and crude shed, a trace of anger flashed in Bai Jinli's eyes.

Very good, she made another note to Manager Zhao.

A good man insisted on locking him in a messy dilapidated cow shed, and even dug a hole beside the cow shed to deliver food.

This Uncle Xu has been able to endure until now, and his heart is really strong.

"Er Huo, you find a way to sprinkle this powder on Zhao Guanshi, it's best not to let anyone find out."

After Bai Jinli finished speaking, she handed a small medicine bottle to Erhuo.

"Yes, master." Er Huo turned around and left after taking it.

It didn't take long for Bai Jinli to go back to the yard and sit down before Erhuo finished his work and came back.

Not only did he quietly sprinkle the powder on Zhao Guanshi's body, he also brought over a few people who clamored to see Bai Jinli.

Among those few people, the leader is Zhao Rui.

Because Bai Jinli had told Manager Zhao and Zhao Fu that Zhao Rui was going to be the manager, Zhao Fu was naturally uncomfortable, so he immediately went to trouble Zhao Rui.

When Bai Jinli chose Zhao Rui, he had naturally considered it after consideration, knowing that he was the most deceptive among the people around Manager Zhao.

So when Zhao Fu went to Zhao Rui to settle the score, and beat him up severely, told him not to be delusional, and threatened his family to leave, Zhao Rui's heart was full of greed, and he became extremely resentful towards Zhao Fu .

Unwilling to be reconciled, he went to find several other people who he had frequent contacts with and was familiar with, and used his benefits to persuade them to defect and identify Zhao Fu and Zhao Guanshi.

The reason why these people around Guanshi Zhao work for him is simply because everyone has been under his control these years, and they can't stand up at all, and Guanshi Zhao uses his family to oppress and threaten them.

While enjoying the pleasure of bullying others, they hated Guanshi Zhao and Zhao Fu's oppression.

Now that they learned that the new master wanted to punish Guanshi Zhao and the others, after being brainwashed and bewitched by Zhao Rui, he immediately sided with Zhao Rui.

So, Zhao Rui brought them to find Bai Jinli and surrendered.

Bai Jinli looked at Zhao Rui and the others standing in front of him, and asked them, "I heard that you want to see me, what's the matter?"

"New master, we are willing to tell the secret of Manager Zhao and follow your orders."

"Is this true? How can I trust you?" Bai Jinli asked back.

"New master, what you said is absolutely true. In fact, over the years, we have also felt that Guanshi Zhao and Zhao Fu have gone too far. We didn't say it before, but he took advantage of it." Zhao Rui explained.

"In that case, why dare to fight against him now?"

"New master, after we went back, we thought about it carefully and felt that we can't let Steward Zhao and the others continue to do evil and harm the manor.

As long as we can help you bring Guanshi Zhao to justice, our family members will no longer be in danger. This is actually a good thing for us. " Zhao Rui said.

"Well, you are really a smart person, I saw the right person." Bai Jinli praised him.

Hearing Bai Jinli's obvious praise for him, Zhao Rui suddenly became a little erratic.

Look, the new master really wants him to be in charge because of his outstanding ability.

For the position of steward, he will definitely cooperate with the new master, as long as steward Zhao and his father are pulled down, the steward will be his.

"Thank you for the new master's compliment. Just tell me what the new master wants me to do." Zhao Rui asked, suppressing the ecstasy in his heart.

"I want to make me completely trust you, I hope you can show some sincerity, and it's best to bring some things about Zhao Fu to prove it to me." Bai Jinli said.

"This... I know, the new master, don't worry, I will do it now." Zhao Rui thought for a few seconds, and then left with someone.

When those people left, Xiao Chiwang asked, "Sister, so what you call making troubles is deliberately provoking troubles, so that they can bite dogs!"

"Almost. Xiao Chiwang, your task is coming, I want you to follow them and help them when the time is right."

"Okay, no problem." After Xiao Chiwang heard this task, a strange excitement flashed in his eyes.

After Xiao Chiwang left, Pan Zi appeared in front of her with Xu Bo who had finished washing.

Xu Bocai's legs were broken before, so he couldn't stand up. After Pan Zi carried him on his back, he put him on a stool with a backrest.

After seeing Bai Jinli, he immediately struggled to get up and kneel down to thank Bai Jinli, but Bai Jinli stopped him.

Bai Jinli took a sized look at Xu Bocai. This man's temples were already a little gray, and there were some creases on his face. He was as thin as a stick, but he looked like a clever and kind-hearted man, and he was not ashamed of being disappointed in life.

"I heard from Liu Luo that you used to be the steward of Zhao Shilang's mansion, how old are you now?"

"If you go back to your master, this old slave will be forty-three this year."

"Well. Take a look at this ledger, what's the problem?" Bai Jinli nodded, and handed him one of the ledgers he found.

After Xu Bocai turned a few pages, he raised his head and said, "Boss, there is something wrong with the records in this ledger."

"Ok?"

"Although the old slave doesn't know the specifics of the tea garden, he guessed that most of the tea garden's deworming, pruning and other matters only need people to complete, and most of the people in the tea garden are long-term workers, and their wages add up. There is not so much money in and out.

There is also picking tea and selling tea here, there is obviously something wrong, here..."

After Xu Bocai pointed out the problems in the account book, Bai Jinli asked him a few more questions about how to deal with people in business, how to deal with tricky customers, how to manage the servants under him, and how to coordinate the relationship between them.

Although Xu Bocai's answer was not perfect, it was reasonable, not too pedantic, and took the overall situation into consideration.

Bai Jinli was quite satisfied with his answer.

It seems that the person recommended by Liu Luo really has some skills and abilities, and he is indeed qualified for the post of steward.

"Uncle Xu, I plan to let you manage the manor after dealing with Manager Zhao. What's your opinion?" Bai Jinli asked him.

"For Fuli, I've said it before and let Liuluo tell you."

"Yes, my boss." Liuluo nodded, and repeated the benefits that Bai Jinli had said before in front of everyone.

After listening, a trace of disbelief and hesitation flashed across Xu Bocai's face.

"Boss, I'm already a useless person, how can I be worthy of this great responsibility?"

Xu Bocai was actually a little tempted, but when he thought about his physical condition, he felt a little unconfident.
