    Seeing Liu Xu take out ten taels of silver, Chen Jide was somewhat surprised.  This is much rarer than copper coins, not to mention those low-quality lead coins. Even though it is just a small amount, when converted into copper coins, it is tens of thousands of dollars.  It can be considered a large amount of money.  As far as he knew, Liu Xu originally settled down and got money after selling the restaurant's signature dishes that were passed down from his family. He was the guarantor of that transaction, so of course he didn't have that much money.  These ten taels of silver must have had another origin.  "Is this your stolen property? How did you get it?" Chen Jide asked as he naturally reached out and picked up two pieces of silver. He looked at the quality of the silver and found it was very good.  "Yesterday, my subordinate happened to bump into a thief on the street. I happened to see him stealing money from people walking by. Then my subordinate hurriedly went up to stop him. The thief ran away immediately after taking the money. I worked hard and worked hard.  I finally caught him and seized the ten taels of silver on the spot, but when I was looking at the silver, he ran away. When I came back to look for the owner, I couldn't find it Therefore, my subordinates went to work today.  Come here and hand over this stolen property to General." Of course Chen Jide didn't believe what Liu Xu said, but he still nodded seriously and said: "I see, as the Marquis of Wu, you have the responsibility to arrest thieves, and you have done a great job.  Okay, I'm very pleased. It seems that I saw you right." "Thank you for the compliment, General." Liu Xu quickly saluted with great joy, and then took the opportunity to say, "Now our Qinglongfang commander is like this, Wu.  There is no one in charge in Houpu, so please give me some advice from the general." After Chen Jide pondered for a moment, he said, "As the deputy commander of Wuhoupu in Qinglongfang, since the commander-in-chief Ma Hong has this disease, what's the point?  Of course, the person in charge falls on you. I will now order you to take charge of the entire Wuhou Shop in Qinglongfang temporarily. After I have found out the matter and asked Ma Hong's family to hand over the seal, I will select the appropriate person for appointment.  "Liu Xu couldn't help cursing when he heard this. He paid ten taels of silver, but he only got a substitute instead of a formal appointment to replace Ma Hong.  Needless to say, Chen Jide had a big appetite, and these ten taels of silver were not enough for him to give Liu Xu an officially bad handsome man.  Now that he¡¯s here, Liu Xu certainly doesn¡¯t want to leave empty-handed, as this has cost him ten taels of silver.  "General, although my subordinates are not talented, they are confident that they can be fully qualified for the post of commander-in-chief of Wuhoupu. General, please also appoint your subordinates as commander-in-chief of Wuhoupu in Qinglongfang." Liu Xu's sudden self-recommendation made Chen Jide once again  Feeling a little surprised, he looked at him thoughtfully for a while and then said: "You have only been the deputy commander for a few days? Not to mention you are still so young. If I appoint you as the commander immediately, it is inevitable that someone will think that you are not qualified behind the scenes.  "General, Cao Chong became the Prime Minister at the age of six, and Gan Luo became the Prime Minister at the age of twelve. There is a saying that if you have ambitions, you will live a hundred years in vain." What's more, I am eighteen years old this year.  Not considered young." Chen Jide's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he laughed and said, "If you have ambitions, you will live a hundred years in vain. Well, that makes sense. How can you say such a shocking thing?  Just with your words, the Wuhou Shop of Qinglongfang will be handed over to you. "This time it was Liu Xu's turn to be stunned. He really didn't expect that Chen Jide would be so excited and happy just after he said such a sentence.  It was really beyond his expectation. Originally, he had planned to hint that there would be "stolen items" to be handed over after the incident was completed.  But accidents were accidents, and he finally got the Wuhoupu. Liu Xu was also a little excited, and he quickly knelt down and thanked him: "Thank you, general. From now on, I will fight for the general through fire and water, and I will not hesitate." "Okay,  Get up and talk." Chen Jide suddenly seemed to be in a better mood. He rarely spoke to Liu Xu in a gentle manner, and at the same time raised his hand to help him.  Liu Xu stood up again and bowed slightly with a respectful look on his face, waiting to listen to Chen Jide's words.  "Last time I heard Ting'er say that you are extremely talented, I still didn't believe it. After listening to what you said just now, I know that you have some ink. Let me ask you, have you ever read a book?" Chen Jide  His expression changed too suddenly compared to before. Thinking of the layout of his room and the row of bookshelves, Liu Xu somewhat understood.  This Chen Jide must also be a scholar, so he has a somewhat noble temperament. He must have looked down on low-class people like him who hang out in the market before.  But just now I saw that he spoke in a coherent manner and even said those very philosophical words, so it was inevitable that he would think highly of him.  This is the habit of a scholar like Chen Jide. As long as he has his own temper, he will look at him differently.  If you don't have your temper, you won't bother to look at it again.  It's no wonder that I didn't take the post of street envoy very seriously before. It was probably because of the habits of scholars, and I looked down on the subordinates of the warriors and even the ruffians in the city.    "I haven't formally attended a private school, but I was enlightened by an old servant at home when I was young. I learned some words and read some miscellaneous books." Chen Jide nodded and said, "It's hard for you. Although you are born  Shijing, it's rare that you still have the ambition to make progress. I'm very optimistic about you. I'll keep working hard tomorrow. If it's true, I'll let you be the bad man for him in the next few days.  You go out first." Chen Jide was so straightforward this time, Liu Xu couldn't help but feel happy, he quickly thanked him again, and then walked backwards slowly out the door.  When Zheng Hongyun and Yu Pengfei saw Liu Xu smiling and looked at each other, they both felt a little clearer in their hearts.  Both of them rushed to greet him and asked almost simultaneously: "Shuai Liu, have you met General Chen? What did he say?" "Deputy Marshal, what did General Chen say?" Liu Xu put away his smile and shook his head slightly.  : "I told General Chen about Brother Ma and wanted to ask him to help find a famous doctor who could cure this disease, but General Chen also said that this disease is incurable and difficult to cure. Even if you ask an imperial doctor, it will be very difficult.  It¡¯s difficult to cure.¡± Of course, Zheng and Yu were not asking about treating Ma Hong.  Everyone is not a fool. Liu Xu came to see Chen Jide this time. They are not naive enough to think that Liu Xu is just asking questions about the doctor for Ma Hong. Needless to say, it is definitely for succeeding Ma Hongwu as the commander-in-chief.  Yu Pengfei had no choice but to ask directly: "Shuai Liu, did General Chen say anything else? Did he ask you to succeed us as Marshal Wuhou of our shop?" Zheng Hongyun also said quickly: "Yes, Deputy Marshal, now Marshal Ma is out  In this matter, you are his best successor." Liu Xu pretended to be reserved and said with a slight smile: "This matter has not been decided yet. General Chen only said that he would send someone to Brother Ma's house to verify it first.  I'll think about it later." When the two of them heard Liu Xu's words, they couldn't help but smile knowingly, and congratulated Liu Xu with their hands.  "Deputy Marshal, no, Marshal Liu, please take care of me in the future. You also know now that I am Marshal Ma's brother-in-law. If you and Marshal Ma are on good terms, I will definitely follow your lead and do whatever it takes to go through fire and water."  " Liu Xu couldn't help but curl his lips secretly when he heard this. He seemed to have said this last sentence to Chen Jide before.  Speaking of his mouth, Liu Xu said to him very gently: "You are Brother Ma's brother-in-law. Of course I will take care of you in the future. Don't worry. You will not be short of the benefits you deserve." Zheng Hongyun  Excited, he quickly thanked: "Thank you, Liu Shuai." In his heart, Yu Pengfei secretly despised Zheng Hongyun for his unrighteousness and his tendency to act according to circumstances. After a while, he immediately forgot about Ma Hong.  "Liu Shuai, let's go back and tell everyone the good news now." Yu Pengfei looked happy for Liu Xu from the bottom of his heart.  Liu Xu waved his hands slightly and said: "It's too early to say this. Let's wait until the official order comes down. The most important thing now is to seek medical treatment for Brother Ma. Now the three of us will work separately. Hongyun, you  Go to the dock, Pengfei, go to Fanfang, and ask some Fanyi people. Maybe those Fan doctors may have a remedy for this disease." After hearing this order, both of them looked slightly agitated.  It was painful, but it was Liu Xu's order after all, and it was hard for them to refuse.  In addition, time was limited, so I had to say goodbye to Liu Xu in a hurry and rush to their destinations.  They wanted to be lazy and not go, but they were afraid that Liu Xu would find out about it afterwards, so they had no choice but to go for a real walk.
