Of course, everyone said they were not surprised, but after all, they did not dare to be surprised.
Yan Shiyue nodded and continued with a smile: "Have those of you who came first noticed that there were originally fifty-eight of you here this time, but now there is one less person?"
Everyone still dared not speak casually.
But the few people who came first had obviously thought of this and couldn't help but quietly exchanged glances.
Qu Sinian looked at the situation and wanted to ask everyone to relax, but after looking at Yan Shiyue, he thought she must have intentions, so he endured it.
Yan Shiyue said with a smile: "I can tell you that the day he was here in Si Nian, he recommended himself to Si Nian, and then he was successfully appreciated by Si Nian and introduced to me, so he got ahead of you.
Simao, there is no need to face today’s assessment.”
She smiled and said: "This is the first word I want to say: opportunity."
She had asked someone to prepare pen and ink before, and then she picked up the pen and wrote two words on the wall: opportunity.
Then she sat down and continued: "You are here, and you know why you are here. This past few years is a rare opportunity. If you seize the opportunity, you can get better treatment earlier than others. You said
Right?"
She paused: "So, do you want to know how he recommended himself?"
She explained Ren Zenan's basic operations: "Do you know what this means? He made full investigations and preparations for this 'opportunity', so he was able to seize the opportunity... Opportunities only favor those who are prepared."
She was heavy and lazily stood up, and signaled to Qu Sinian, who stood up and wrote this sentence on the wall.
At the same time, Yan Shiyue said: "What do you want to say about this?"
Everyone still hesitated. Yan Shiyue pointed to the "opportunity" on the wall and made a grabbing gesture, saying meaningfully: "The opportunity has been delivered to you again. Let's see who can seize it this time."
Live."
That's right! Everyone cheered up instantly.
Someone stood up and saluted, saying: "Master Xiang! The common people have also carefully read the 'Book of Admonition to the World' and thought carefully about how to do this! They also thought about self-recommendation! It's just that the common people have traveled a long way to come.
It’s too late, I’ve been guarding in front of the Duke’s Mansion several times, but I’ve never seen the Prime Minister go out.”
He took out a volume of documents from his sleeve and presented it with respectful hands.
Yan Shiyue took it and looked at it. This article was similar to my opinion on the development of Simao. Although most of it was about praising virtues, there was also a small part that had something to say.
Yan Shiyue nodded: "Yes, who are you?"
The man said: "The common man's surname is Cheng and his name is Xia."
Yan Shiyue smiled and nodded.
Cheng Xia took the lead, and others, not to be outdone, also spoke up and expressed their opinions.
The first two were pretty good, but the third one stood up with an impassioned face and said: "The national treasury has a huge deficit. As citizens of Dayan, we should do our best to serve the court... The prime minister was ordered to establish Simao in the face of danger.
It is to give me and other merchants an opportunity to serve the imperial court! I will definitely spend all my wealth and hand it over to the national treasury, and I just ask the prime minister to accept my wishes..."
"Wait a minute!" The more Yan Shiyue listened, the more wrong he became: "Do you think I built Simao to get people who were businessmen to buy officials? You used your money to buy an official, and then used your official position to make money back?"
The man was stunned for a moment, with "Isn't it?" clearly written on his face.
Yan Shiyue looked around: "Is there anyone else who thinks this way?"
Naturally, no one else admitted it, so she said to him: "Your idea is completely wrong. You are not suitable for being a trader. Please go back." Immediately, someone came in and asked this person out.
Yan Shiyue said: "Well, this incident has taught us another word, which is called 'risk'. By the way, if you are not prepared and are not good at dealing with people, don't follow the trend blindly, otherwise Zhuyu will
In the past, not only would I not be able to stand out, my shortcomings would also be exposed."
Qu Sinian almost guessed what she was thinking, so he stepped forward and wrote the word "risk" on the wall.
Yan Shiyue chatted and popularized science all the way, and slowly talked for more than an hour.
Then she stood up and said: "I'm sorry, I can't sit for a long time now, so I won't talk more. Please think about your conversation with me today and write it down for me. It doesn't matter the writing style, as long as it makes sense.
If you are illiterate, you can ask the innkeeper to help you find a ghostwriter. Give it to me before noon tomorrow."
Qu Sinian also said: "Everyone, being a businessman is a new thing. The Prime Minister is very hungry for talents. You can speak freely, just like talking to friends face to face. I guarantee that you will not be punished for offending."
In fact, judging from the performance in person, they already had an idea. The two read the article again and considered it, leaving a total of eleven people, including Ren Zenan, the number was twelve.
Although some people have no performance from beginning to end and cannot tell whether they are good or bad, but in this kind of thing, not showing up is already a kind of performance.
Then Yan Shiyue asked him to write a note asking for the establishment of a "Special Recruitment Officer" position.
In other words, the official positions of these people are still the junior secretary of the Sixth Ministry, ranging from the seventh-grade official, but the name of the official position is not called the secretary, but "Simao Special Recruitment", and there is a probation period, after half a year.
If you do not perform well, you will be dismissed at any time.
This is a small thing, but in the eyes of everyone, it is another little willfulness of the prime minister.
Yan Shiyue explained to Qu Sinian: "This is called detachment, do you understand? I want the horse to run and not eat grass, so I can only praise the horse constantly... Our Simao has not yet released
It is unrealistic to give these people officials who are too big for their achievements, but it is inconvenient for them to go down and do things if they are too small. Moreover, they are born as merchants and have low self-esteem. They will pay more attention to these small differences. Just change their names.
If you have the feeling of being honored, why not do it?"
Then she taught him: "From today on, you must continue to brainwash them and tell them that even though what we do is not as noble as scholars, it is the most important thing... We must not find it troublesome and be full of energy.
I often say..."
She explained it to him in a nonchalant manner.
Qu Sinian nodded solemnly and said, "But Mr. Xiang, it's very easy for Simao to achieve results! Even if he can't say it, the emperor already has it in his heart... The key is, when will cement improve? Although the cost of cement
It’s cheap, but nowadays, money is wasted every day, glass is finally earned, and cement is all covered?”
She asked: "Is it 'very easy' to make money from glass?"
Is this the key? Qu Sinian glared: "I just want to know, my cement road is almost finished, when will your trump card come!"
Yan Shiyue said disgustedly: "I know so many people, and you are the most curious one."
Can this be curiosity? This is responsibility!
Qu Sinian was speechless, thinking to himself that I know so many people, and you are the best one! What would happen if you tell him directly! Ah?! (To be continued)
