Chapter 145 Family Leave (5)
Liu Chong looked at himself seriously in the half-body mirror. Because the mirror was big enough, he could probably see the outfit of the upper or lower body in full. He was wearing a uniform similar to a military uniform, and there were three exquisite silk logos on his left arm. Yesterday, Zhao Guanjia just glanced at him and recognized these two logos.
Retracting your gaze from the sign, Zhao Jiaren smiled and said, "The Yellow River Returns to the North and the Labor Memorial Sign. The Hua County War Memorial Sign. The Yellow River Battle Memorial Sign. It seems that you are fighting from beginning to end."
The voice of the Zhao Guan family was younger than Liu Chong imagined. Liu Chong could not imagine that he could hear the voice of the Zhao Guan family so close. He only remembered that he immediately responded loudly: "Yes, Grand Marshal, I was following you in Henan at that time." This sentence is really vulgar when I think about it now. Liu Chong couldn't understand how he said such a thing at that time.
It is obvious that the Zhao Guan family was not moved by Liu Chong's words. He turned his head to the intelligence agency and said, "Since he has participated in the Yellow River Battle and knows armor, he will be transferred to me as a guard for a few days in the past few days. Let him come to see me tomorrow."
After hearing this, Liu Chong was completely confused. What happened afterwards was lost in his mind that he had a confused memory. What he could remember was that after Zhao Guanjia left, the deputy director of the State Administration of Information immediately took Liu Chong back to the State Administration of Information. First, he arranged a residence for him at the hotel of the State Administration of Information, and asked Liu Chong to stay here and not go home. Then there were a lot of procedures and lectures.
After such a chaotic period, early the next morning, Liu Chong was woken up by the alarm clock he had set. He quickly finished sorting it out and was about to be a guard for Zhao Guan’s family.
The door sounded, and someone came in outside. The man said just one sentence, "Come with me." Then he turned around and left. Liu Chong followed him to the gate of the guesthouse, where there was already a carriage waiting. The sky was still dark, and Liu Chong got into the car with the visitor. He thought the other party would say something, but everyone sat in the car silently until he stopped at the gate of Houleyuan by the West Lake.
The soldier in a beautiful black uniform handed over to the people from the General Administration of Intelligence at the door, "Is this Liu Chong?"
"Yes. This is Liu Chong from our General Intelligence Administration."
“Sign it here.”
After the simple procedures were completed, Liu Chong followed the Imperial Guard in black uniform to Houle Park. Originally, Liu Chong thought he was going to be with the guards, but unexpectedly, the people there took him directly into the Zhao Guan family's palace. In this strange place, Liu Chong didn't even dare to show his anger and followed the Imperial Guard silently into it.
When he entered a room, he saw Zhao Guan's family sitting inside and watching something. Liu Chong was shocked. He didn't expect that he would meet Zhao Guan's family so simply. Then he saw Zhao Guan's family raise his head and ask, "Have you eaten?"
"You have reported to the official family, I'll eat it!" Liu Chong couldn't help but lie.
"Haha." Zhao Guanjia laughed, "I will tell you that if you don't eat, you say you don't eat. If you don't eat now, you will go hungry all morning."
Liu Chong felt warm in his heart. He was not malicious to tell lies. His family taught him since childhood not to cause trouble for others, and the troubled party would be unhappy. Zhao Guanjia said this, and Liu Chong immediately replied in shame: "I really forgot to eat when I went out in the morning."
"Take two meals." Zhao Jiaren said in a desperate attempt.
The two of them had the same meals. Liu Chong, who was used to eating the canteen, saw the obvious characteristics of the military canteen on these two meals. There was no difference between Zhao Guan’s meals and ordinary people, but he seemed to prefer to drink a few more sips of corn porridge.
After dinner, the two sat at the table. Liu Chong heard Zhao Guanjia ask: "I saw the report from Jinan Silk Reeling Factory. The person above should be you, right?"
Liu Chong was shocked immediately. He didn't expect that the purpose of Zhao Guanjia calling him was not Hebei, but the silk reeling workshop where Liu Chong himself had completely left aside. Although surprised, Liu Chong immediately replied: "Yes. I worked in the silk reeling workshop for a while."
"Have you helped them improve the equipment in the workshop?" Zhao Jiaren continued to ask.
"Yes." Liu Chong replied guiltily.
Zhao Guanjia said: "I will go to the silk reel factory in Hangzhou these days, and you can go with me."
After Zhao Guan's family left, Liu Chong sat at the table in a daze. He thought about it carefully, but found that he could not remember what he had done in the silk reeling workshop. The memories at that time were only fragments of fragments, and it was too difficult to put them together. This made Liu Chong suddenly wonder if he had stayed in that workshop. Perhaps it was just a dream that Liu Chong had, just like the other bizarre dreams that Liu Chong had ever had.
After a while, Liu Chong was called to set off. The group headed straight to the urban area downstream of the water source in Hangzhou. After entering the factory gate, Liu Chong felt that his memory had begun to recover after just smelling the smell in the air.
After entering the humid and hot workshop and smelling the indescribable smell, Liu Chong became surprised again, how could he forget about such things? Although the whole feeling was obviously much better. At least the smell was much thinner, and the steam was not as hot as before. At least it had reached an acceptable level.
The collars, cuffs, trouser legs and hem of the workers' clothes are tightly tied. The collars of the opposite-clad clothes seem to be very different.
The factory manager here is obviously a soldier, and his naturally straight back has that feeling. Although he is a little anxious, he is determined to complete his work. Anyone who has experienced the battlefield will have such an experience. There is death ahead, but no one is willing to retreat. Victory against the enemy and win will make people extremely anxious.
The factory manager walking beside Zhao Jiaren introduced the situation, "Official family, this is the last batch of silkworm cocoons this year. We have tried the cold storage you mentioned. There are no moths coming out. But will such a way of doing it cost too much?"
Zhao Jiaren replied: "It's okay. This is just an experiment. If it's too expensive, we just don't use it. And cold storage is of course beneficial, and silkworm pupae will not deteriorate. If you poison the silkworm pupae to death, it will not stop the silkworm pupae from rotting."
"That's right." The factory director nodded repeatedly.
Liu Chong couldn't understand what the two were talking about, so he just followed. There was only one factory in the silk reel workshop in Jinan, and there were more silk reel workshops here. Liu Chong followed Zhao Guan's family one after another. At first, he tried hard to remember. After passing through several workshops, he couldn't remember it clearly. Each workshop had a workshop director temporarily joining the group, saying things Liu Chong seemed to understand.
The Zhao Guan family seemed to be tired and left one by one. Liu Chong felt a little physically unable to bear it. At noon, everyone was eating in the canteen of the silk reel factory. Liu Chong felt hungry and ate half of the rice with a sour soup rice and fish. Liu Chong suddenly remembered that if he hadn't eaten breakfast at Zhao Guan family in the morning, he would probably not be able to bear it now.
Turning his head to look at Zhao Guanjia, he saw that he naturally ate food that was not different from everyone else. Liu Chong felt extremely moved. All kinds of thoughts turned into an idea. For Zhao Guanjia, Liu Chong didn't care about going through fire and water.
I did not continue to visit in the afternoon, but held a meeting in the factory conference room. When I learned that the person who came was Zhao Guan’s family, everyone kept watching, but no one spoke. In front of the emperor, these working people dared to say anything.
Liu Chong saw Zhao Guanjia stand up and was about to speak. During the Battle of the Yellow River, Liu Chong had heard Zhao Guanjia speak in public more than once, but the speeches in Zhao Guanjia were shouted by people who were circulating the sound. It was the first time for Liu Chong to be so close to Zhao Guanjia.
"Everyone, I am Zhao Jiaren, the official at present. This is the first time I have met most of you, hello everyone."
Such a simple opening remark caused a whisper below. Liu Chong felt that this statement seemed a bit inexplicably inconsistent with the identity of the official family. But if you don’t say that, Liu Chong didn’t know what to say. If you come from a normal meeting point of view, this statement is already the most appropriate statement.
"I'm not here to talk about how much money the silk factory can pay me, I'm not here to talk about this. What I'm here to talk about this is how to make the silk factory better. You can earn more through your own hands and make it more comfortable than before. Now everyone will introduce themselves to each other. Let's start discussing."
The attendees were all workshop directors or people who performed well in their work. What surprised Liu Chong was that among these people there were members of the society. Liu Chong was also a member of the society. In his sense, the society itself seemed to have nothing to do with the workers who were sweating profusely...
"This person is named Liu Chong. He worked in a silk reel factory in Shandong. The proposal I forwarded to the factory was written by Liu Chong and the director of the silk reel workshop in Shandong." Zhao Jiaren introduced.
After hearing this introduction, everyone's eyes turned to Liu Chong and became enthusiastic. This made Liu Chong feel a little guilty. His major was not to do silk production, but to analyze intelligence or kill enemies on the battlefield.
"Director Liu, that clothes and water change suggestions are really good." The factory manager here praised straightforwardly.
After his introduction, Liu Chong understood what happened. The problem of preventing steam from entering clothes that he could not solve at that time was solved in such a large silk factory. Moreover, Liu Chong proposed to reduce the temperature of the workshop at that time, but he felt that it was too hot to boil the cocoons directly in the workshop. The silk factory here also systematically solved the problem. They used to cook cocoons outside and transport the large pot of cooked cocoons in. In this way, only a few pieces of honeycomb coal under the large pot to maintain the overall temperature. The temperature in the workshop was also greatly reduced.
Listening to his immature suggestions being solved one by one here, Liu Chong felt that it would be better not to speak more. These people are much more professional than him. Liu Chong racked his brains and couldn't think of a solution, so he easily solved it here.
After talking for a while, everyone found that there seemed to be no room for more technical breakthroughs at this stage. After talking for a while, the factory director asked Liu Chong, "Director Liu, do you have any suggestions?"
Liu Chong dared to show off his skills. He thought for a while and found a question that had nothing to do with technology. "How much has the income of our workers increased?"
Silence, everyone was silent. Liu Chong saw that everyone's expression was not right, and he quickly explained: "When I was in Shandong, there were particularly capable workers who could earn two chunks a week. I think using these methods is to recruit more people. Like Shandong, it depends on who can persevere after coming. Some people work fast, some people work slowly. Moreover, in this environment, many people actually don't like it and don't want to work here. So some people leave and some people stay. In the end, those who stay are the most capable. If they earn a lot, everyone... are happy."
Liu Chong said everything he thought of based on his own experience, but seeing the other people's reactions so coldly, there was even an indescribable resistance. Liu Chong became more and more guilty as he spoke, and finally ended up in a hurry.
After Liu Chong stopped, the room was silent. After a while, the factory director said, "Official. Is this Director Liu saying what you mean?"
Zhao Guanjia smiled and said, "I brought him here this time because I knew the report he wrote. The silk industry is a very important industry in my Song Dynasty. I will naturally have to brainstorm a lot when I hold a meeting with you."
Listening to the words of Zhao Guanjia, Liu Chong felt that this attitude was completely different from the simple and refreshing emotions of Zhao Guanjia before. If Zhao Guanjia used this attitude to let Liu Chong have breakfast together, Liu Chong would probably have to seriously think about whether there was any other meaning in this statement.
After Zhao Guanjia finished speaking, the factory manager said: "The salary of the Silk Factory has always been fixed. What to do here and how long it takes, you will naturally have corresponding income. If you change it so easily, it will probably make many people dissatisfied."
Liu Chong felt disagreement when he heard this. With his experience in Shandong, many people may not like to work in silk factories. However, some people like to make money by working. No matter how hard the work is, they can persist. For these people, as long as they can have a good talk, they can use very effective means to make work more comfortable.
After reexperiencing the silk reeling workshop, Liu Chong now remembered the two weeks before. The one who helped him the greatest help was not Liu Chong himself or the workshop director, but those particularly capable workers. Of course, those particularly capable workers also earned much higher than those who could not do it.
After completely remembering what happened before, Liu Chong suddenly felt something in his heart. At the beginning, the Zhao Guanjia said that what he was talking about was to make everyone earn more. And these were also what Liu Chong mentioned in the report.
It turns out that the Zhao Guan family could remember itself, which had nothing to do with the war and intelligence. Liu Chong was filled with mixed feelings. He had only heard of this kind of unintentional way to make a shadow of willows.
"Officials, I think workers can also consider this when they are divided. If they do well, they can increase their salary." The factory director kept telling his views.
Liu Chong felt more and more unhappy when he heard it. Then Liu Chong heard Zhao Guanjia say, "Director Liu, do you have anything to say? After all, did you write that report?"
"This..." Liu Chong hesitated for a moment, and then felt that he was from the Zhao Guan family after all, so he angered the director of the Silk Factory. Liu Chong would soon return to Jinan to join the front line of fighting against Mongolia. So he made up his mind and said readily: "I think everyone comes here to make money. He works more and earns more. This is easy to talk to everyone. I have never worked in a factory. For the two weeks I have been in Shandong, everyone thinks that the more money I work, the more I get, is natural."
"How long have you been in Shandong? Two weeks?" The factory director grabbed the key points in Liu Chong's words.
"Yes." Liu Chong didn't explain.
"What do you know in two weeks?" said the factory director angrily, "Silk production has accumulated for thousands of years, and there have been many rules in it. How much do you know in two weeks?"
Then the factory manager began to talk for a while. What he said seemed to be very professional. Liu Chong couldn't understand at all. He knew that he knew nothing about silk production, and at this time he felt guilty when he heard such professional words.
However, the factory manager was quite targeting Liu Chong. Although Liu Chong was guilty, he could understand the factory manager's various unfriendliness. This made Liu Chong feel more and more unhappy. Originally, Liu Chong wanted to calm down, but he felt angry in his heart, which made Liu Chong unable to swallow this.
"...I haven't eaten pork, have you seen the pig leave? The rules for so long can be changed at will." The factory director paused, picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"Master, have you attended courses in war and social management in the school?" Liu Chong asked in a deep voice.
The factory manager swallowed the tea, put down the teacup, stared at Liu Chong and asked, "What class did you say just now?"
"War and sociological management." Liu Chong repeated aloud.
"What kind of class is that?" asked the factory manager.
After hearing such a clear reply, Liu Chong felt relieved. War and sociological management are a course for officers from the military. The third bureau of the school and the army is responsible for education. This course contains a lot of content, one of the key points is that if you have never eaten pork, you will eat and sleep with the pig every day, and you don’t know what the pork tastes.
The speech of the director of the Silk Factory made Liu Chong feel that this person probably hadn't taken this course, because this example was mentioned in several chapters. First of all, in the logic course, there is no causal relationship between the taste of pork and the walking of pigs. Putting these two things together is logically wrong.
In the contradictory chapter, this is used as a question of whether the main or secondary is not distinguished. There are contradictions in any matter. Using this statement is a confusing sophistry. Based on Liu Chong's experience and experience in the intelligence agency, when someone says such words, it means that the person has no idea what he is facing.
For a person who doesn't know what he is facing, most of what he says doesn't have to take into account. This is what people who do intelligence work must be reminded. People who truly understand their careers may have countless questions and confusions, but they will never make essential mistakes.
Seeing that the fearful part of Liu Chong's expression continued to fade, the factory manager also felt that Liu Chong was going to fight back, so the factory manager took the white neck with a condescending look and said: "Director Liu, what do you mean?"
"I mean, you don't know what steam engines do." Liu Chong said loudly. Of course, Liu Chong was a little uneasy when he said such words to a guy who seemed to be an expert. But the pleasure after the counterattack made his mood as if he had wings, and it was as if he had flew up.
After being denied for so long, Liu Chong felt extremely happy that he completely denied his opponent.
A guy who had only worked in the silk reeling workshop for two weeks said such arrogant words, and the factory manager couldn't help laughing back, "Haha! Haha! Well said, keep talking!"
"You don't know what steam engines do!" Liu Chong repeated his words again. At this time, he used simple logic to make a deduction. Liu Chong has now remembered the whole story. The reason why he was forced to participate in the establishment of a silk reeling factory was very simple, that is, the Jinan Intelligence Department was ordered to screen workers in this brand new factory.
Among the content I heard today, Liu Chong's report guided various changes in the factory, which all showed that the factory manager had been exposed to the production of new silk reels after Liu Chong.
Combining these, this factory director who thought he had mastered all the secrets of silk production did not know much about joining the steam engine. Liu Chong can still be regarded as his predecessor.
Collecting intelligence is a very important part of the work of the intelligence department. People like Liu Chong must obtain intelligence through interrogation. In interrogation, they will definitely encounter lies. The difference between lies and truth is that there are big logical problems. If they agree with people who have never eaten pork and have not seen pigs leave, they probably cannot feel the logical problem. However, people from intelligence departments must learn how to distinguish logic and judge the truth and falsehood.
Not only that, in many cases, the other party has to feel logic. Just like during an emergency interrogation, Liu Chong would also use the leader to cut his throat in front of his minions to obtain testimony. This method looks extremely cruel, but its internal logic is not for cruelty.
Let the minions know that if you don’t speak, you will die. This is an effective way to obtain confessions.
Killing the boss is a loss of an important source of intelligence. However, in intelligence operations, many things do not require so many precise secrets. The boss knows more, and the people who make lies are more likely to make up lies. However, the minions know less, and their simple intelligence is enough to outline a basic outline. As long as they don’t think too much, nothing will happen.
Now, Liu Chong is ready to fight back against this factory director who lacks tolerance. In any case, Liu Chong is actually a lack of a full-time section-level cadre and the lowest-level court official. Liu Chong really can't find any reason to let him accept that "he was criticized in front of Zhao Guan Family."
"After the steam engine entered the factory, the factory was divided into three types of people, one was to manage machines, one was to manage machine production, and the other was to manage machines and production. This kind of production was no longer something that a person had to know. In Shandong, people without any foundation could learn to use machines to reel wires in just one day of training. My experience in Shandong told me one thing, what you said just now is useless. Without the things you said, factories using steam engines can still run well. I think that without the things you said, factories using steam engines can run better!"
Chapter completed!
