What's wrong with the binding eunuch system?

Mu Yuanyong thought for a while, and asked Kong Ji what was written in today's almanac, and why good things happened one after another.

What else is there to do?

Here we are going to talk about the people in the city. They have been hiding in their homes and dare not go out, thinking that there are still bandits in the city, but they dare not run, so they can only hide, wondering when the bandits will leave. , but was surprised by Wu Xiushou's sister-in-law. Here, Wu Xiushou's sister-in-law is also an extraordinary person.

She is born with a good voice, and she can spread ten miles with a single yell. She said that her brother-in-law is a well-known wounded Zhongyong in the neighborhood. He has been injured for decades and has never woken up. He only knows how to eat and drink at his uncle's house. Drink, I can’t even marry a daughter-in-law. A while ago, those robbers went door to door looking for those who could read. Many scholars were snatched away, and this one was not left behind. I thought that everyone must be capable. , what can this piece of trash in our family do, I guess it won't be given to others, so other people's homes are anxiously waiting for news, we should eat and drink without worrying about it, but after a few days, this person brought a group of people came back.

She spoke vividly, and someone would say sister-in-law, please speak quickly, don't leave half a sentence, it makes people feel anxious.

The sister-in-law spat dryly, took the water tank next to her and poured half of it in one gulp, and said ouch, what's the rush, wait for me to drink first, and tell you slowly.

Although she said it slowly, the sister-in-law was quick-spoken, so she said it out loudly.

She said this person, hey, you really can't tell, the group of people shrank behind my brother-in-law, as if they were obedient to my brother-in-law, my brother-in-law told me that he met Nobleman, I made him an official. The bastard surnamed Wang was beheaded by the nobleman before, and this place will be under his control from now on.

I just want you not to think that your sister-in-law can fool you because she doesn't study much. What is this Wang? He is an official appointed by the imperial court. If you say beheaded, he will be beheaded. What kind of noble person is this? Don't ask for your life. Lord.Are you saying that we people are afraid of the surname Wang? Aren’t we afraid of the imperial court standing behind him? That hero who runs around for hundreds of miles looks majestic, but the real imperial court wants to send troops, isn’t it also to be subdued?

She took another big gulp of cold water, paused for a while, and played tricks: "Tell me, why did my little uncle tell me?"

A large group of people gathered around her early, and they were extremely impatient, shouting to sister-in-law, please do me a favor, we are all waiting, tell me quickly.

"Don't worry." Sister-in-law is rare to receive so much attention, she is so majestic, and when she feels comfortable, she waved her hand and said, "My uncle said that the nobleman naturally came from the imperial court, and the surnamed Wang is nothing in front of him." It’s just an ant, and he still told me, do you know who Dayong belongs to?”

Not to mention that my sister-in-law can answer this question, the audience present can also answer it. Immediately someone said: "Who else can it be? It's the emperor's old man."

Later, someone said: "The emperor died, and now he should be the little emperor."

"But I didn't hear the wind."

"So what's going on there now?"

"Oh, you are so courageous, you dare to say such a thing."

"The bastards surnamed Wang are all dead, so there is nothing to dare to say."

Later, the little sister-in-law couldn't see it anymore. She pointed at the sky, then pointed at Wang Shouyi's magistrate's yamen, and then winked: "I said, you still don't understand? I, a woman, are more sensitive than you. Do you think so?" Think about it, my brother-in-law has said that, so do you still need to think about the status of this nobleman at this moment?"

Then those people came to their senses, and then they all looked stupid, still looking at sister-in-law in disbelief: "I said sister-in-law Wu, you are not bragging, how is this possible?"

"How is this impossible?" said the sister-in-law: "At our age, we have encountered a lot of absurd things. What is this? There used to be private visits by the emperor in disguise. I haven't seen you all making a fuss. .”

After the sister-in-law finished speaking, she gave these people a hard look: "Anyway, this is a great opportunity. My uncle is going to prosper by taking advantage of this opportunity. Maybe our Wu family will become a high-ranking official because of it! The big thing is much more powerful than those No. [-] Scholars, and it directly fell into the eyes of that person, but few of the No. [-] scholars in the three-year batch could enter the eyes of the emperor."

This made everyone's thoughts active, thinking about the few useless trash in their own homes, and then gritted their teeth: "I really want to fight, fight for his wealth, come on!" Wasn't there a recruitment notice posted in front of the yamen a while ago? We still shy away and dare not, now we can only make up for it, hurry up." Then he hurriedly thanked Wu's sister-in-law.

Sister-in-law Wu's words shook the entire small town, and the people who hadn't been able to shrink back and didn't know where to hide rushed to the reception overnight and rushed to the yamen.

Yan Luo is guarding there now, and Wu Xiushou is talking to Sister-in-law Wu at this time, and he said that I know about Sister-in-law.

Sister-in-law Wu said that I have already done what you asked me to do. Look at my family, that is, Jiaxin, who is now six years old. Before, the family couldn't eat well, and he didn't know a single word.

When Wu Xiushou heard this, he called a gentleman who used to be a teacher, but now he took over the education in the city. This man was called Liu Housheng, and Wu Xiushou recommended him to Wu's sister-in-law, saying: "Sister-in-law, tell him about this , He is in charge of this now, the child goes to school next to the yamen, later you take him to the city, go door to door to see if there are any children of the right age, and arrange together."

Sister-in-law Wu originally came to ask for a job, but she got a job instead. She was a little confused, and Wu Xiushou said that there is a shortage of people now. Sister-in-law Wu, you are an old man. There is nothing you can hide from you here. If it's done, maybe I can get an official position in the future.

Sister-in-law Wu was really dumbfounded. She pointed at herself: "Me? I can still be an official, can a woman be an official?"

Wu Xiushou said: "Special treatment in special times is what the nobleman said. At this time, women can also be used. In the past, during the war, didn't women also serve as soldiers?"

Sister-in-law Wu was persuaded by him, but she still had the feeling that she hadn't recovered from the shock. She just followed Liu Housheng out in a daze. , When I got home, I kicked her under the quilt with my man, and before she landed on the ground, I had to let the man grab her twice and say ouch, I’m not dreaming, I’m going to be an official too?

Her husband is an honest man, and he usually runs a shop, but it is enough for his family to eat and drink. In Wang Shouyi's time, the taxes were extremely high, and sometimes he was still in debt after a busy day.

In the past two days, something has stirred up the heads in the city, and it suddenly became lively, and no one came to ask them for taxes. The men just wanted to take advantage of this good time to make more money. Who knows what will change in the future, It's time to be tired right now, and I wish I could fall asleep right away, and my daughter-in-law was still yelling, so he pinched impatiently and asked if he was going to sleep or not?

Sister-in-law Wu was in pain from being pulled, so she yelled softly, the pain was excruciating.

She slapped the man hard and said, what are you doing with so much energy, damn.

The man is also not very angry, you go crazy and stay awake at night, I still want to sleep.

Sister-in-law Wu told the man what happened today in detail. She said, we know that my brother-in-law is promising, but my brother-in-law said that I can also be an official...

She looked at the man with bright eyes, pointed to herself and said, from now on, I will be the official!

The man was stunned for a while, and the sleepy bug was also disturbed and ran away. It took him a while to understand, and he still felt a little uncomfortable. He said that Xiushou didn't mention me?

Sister-in-law Wu said, aren't you busy with your shop?Look at you, just open a small shop like that, how much money can you earn after exhausting work, I went to run for Wu Xiushou, and he said he would give me an official job, that scholar named Liu Housheng is also a A powerful person, I just told him a few words, and he was able to dig out the foundation of others, and run errands with him all afternoon. Guess how many children he brought to school?

How much do men ask?

Sister-in-law Wu gave birth to her hands. There are more than 100 people. I didn't dare to count them. I didn't know there were so many children here.This is not over yet, and I have to run with him tomorrow. Liu Housheng said that this is only the first step, and there are two, three, four, five steps ahead. He also praised me for being very good. Thanks to me for helping him, otherwise things would not go so smoothly. He said he would give me a job called an education director. He said he was still a big official, and there were a lot of things to do, and those children had to go through my hands.

The man is a little complicated.

He thought about it, and explained to Mrs. Wu that when you go with that Liu Housheng again, take me with you.

Sister-in-law Wu laughed at him and said that the shop was left alone.

The man said, take a day off tomorrow, your affairs are more important, and you are not stupid, you can’t tell, my shop is sky-high, so I opened a restaurant, and this is still a businessman, your side is with Reading is linked, in the future no matter rich or poor, high or low, children will have to study, and only by reading can they understand things. Our Jiaxin ran a lot of relationships for studying, but in the end it didn’t work out. Now you suddenly become the one who cares about this, let alone other things , your man also has to praise you for your ability.

Sister-in-law Wu was so happy that she laughed and said yes, I will bring you with me tomorrow!

When the man came out tomorrow, Wu Xiushou heard the news from Liu Housheng, so he took time out of his busy schedule to meet the man. The man was Wu Xiushou's cousin, but they were about the same age. The man's name was Wu Dazhu, and Wu Xiushou Xiushou called him Brother Dazhu.

Brother Dazhu was a little embarrassed, he said Xiushou, I just came to see if there is anything I can help.

Wu Xiushou said that you really can help. In terms of education, my sister-in-law can do it alone. She is straightforward, straightforward, and well-informed. Everyone believes what she says. If you are with her, you will not be able to do much. , let’s talk about what the old man is doing to snatch his woman’s errand.

Brother Dazhu was a little embarrassed by what he said.

Wu Xiushou changed his words, and said that there happened to be something here that really must be Brother Da Zhu. You have been in business all year round, and you must be better at business than me. I have someone here.

He introduced that man to Brother Dazhu. This is a young man with exaggerated attire. He is named Wang Xu, the third son of the richest man in the city. He is running this business. After being appreciated by Mu Yuanyong, he gave it to Wu Xiushou and wanted to set up a Ministry of Industry and Commerce. However, Wang Xu is still young. Although he is talented, he is indeed very capable. The diversity is admirable, but he can't handle the more down-to-earth, that is, the small businesses of ordinary people. Because of the limitations of his status, he only sees the kind of big business that costs tens of thousands of taels of silver. The business of this little commoner is really inferior to that of Wu Dazhu who has worked here for decades,

It was the first time Wu Dazhu saw the third son of the richest man. He was an old man in the city. Knowing his reputation, he was a little bit tied at this moment. On the contrary, Wang Xu said kindly, Brother Wu really helped me a lot. up.

He said that I happen to have a lot of things I want to ask you for advice, can you take me to your shop to have a look?

Naturally, Wu Dazhu did not dare to object. Before he left, he glanced at Wu Xiushou. Wu Xiushou said, Brother Dazhu, don't be afraid. Wang Xu is still young, and he still has some arrogance. If something is wrong, you can point it out to him. You are me. Cousin, there is no stronger relationship than yours here.

At this time, Wu Dazhu was only half relieved, he thought how could he be looked down upon by a young man who was old enough to be his own son when he was no longer young.

So I tried to put my mind at ease. Wang Xu asked him what is the most difficult thing about doing business, and if there is any way to change it. Wu Dazhu told him that business is actually a sale, and a sale means that there is a purchase and a sale. You must know what the buyer wants. Only those who sell can sell better and faster.He gave Wang Xu an example of his own deeds. While listening, Wang Xu asked him what other lively places were nearby, and what kind of business those businessmen were doing.

Wu Dazhu asked him what he wanted to do. Wang Xu said that he planned to build a commercial street and gather you people together. For example, Brother Dazhu, you are doing food, but your business is still different from a restaurant. You didn’t find that difference?

Wu Dazhu just laughed, he said, young man, don’t test me, you should think that my decades of business is for nothing, and doing business is not easy, you need to use your brain, my Wu Dazhu’s cake is a must, Even the restaurant is not as good. The restaurant is said to be eating food and drinking, but in fact eating is money, class, and status. But our shop is about a real, cheap, lively, convenient and delicious restaurant.

Wang Xu's eyes lit up when he said that, and he said great job, great job!Listening to Wu Dazhu's words, it was really like studying for another ten years. He laughed out loud, and believed that with the help of Brother Dazhu, this commercial street would be established soon.

As he was talking, he asked Wu Dazhu what kind of business was related to food and where it was cheap and delicious. He said that we might as well talk about business while tasting food today.

When returning home in the evening, Wu Dazhu and his wife, sister-in-law Wu, were lying on the bed. Although they were very tired, they were full of energy. After a while, Wu Dazhu said that this young man is really getting better and better.

Sister-in-law Wu said that’s right, Liu Housheng looks like he’s only in his twenties, and I heard that he doesn’t have any children, so I want to match him up for a marriage, but he said that he really doesn’t have time, indeed I don’t. Today I didn't even have time to cook Jiaxin's meal, so I entrusted Chunniang next door to help with it.

Wu Dazhu said that you know who I am here, but you should have heard of the richest man, the third son of the famous Wang family, who is young but very capable. I heard that the richest man is now in the business of him. Do.

He clicked his tongue twice, it is true that seeing is believing, it is really powerful, he said that he wants to build a commercial street, not just a simple commercial street, it is divided into food, clothes, and other groceries, and you can go to the street to buy in the future Things are easy.

Sister-in-law Wu is really interested in this. Hearing Wu Dazhu say that he ate a lot of delicious food today without paying for it, she was a little envious in her heart, saying that your errand is really good, and you can enjoy yourself.

Wu Dazhu couldn't hold back his laughter, he laughed for a while and said, who is not, don't you feel happy.

Sister-in-law Wu said she was happy, she was really happy, and now people don't call me sister-in-law Wu when I go out.

What did Wu Dazhu say his name was?

Call Director Wu.

Hahaha, the husband and wife laughed again, and finally Wu Dazhu said in a complicated way, these powerful young people are now under Xiushou's hands.

Sister-in-law Wu also understood what Wu Dazhu meant, and she said that maybe we really underestimated him before.

Wu Dazhu thought, pondering, he said, tell me how capable this Xiushou is, we are not those stupid ones, but we can't see it at all, sometimes I think Is this really Xiushou? Is it someone else? But when I saw him today, I saw that he still looked neither salty nor dull. I felt that he hadn't changed much. So what is so great about him?Even Wang Xu said that Xiushou was extraordinary, and he also said that the idea of ​​his commercial street was inspired by Xiushou.

Sister-in-law Wu couldn't figure it out either, so she finally said why she was thinking so much, she was better than the two of us anyway.

So Wu Dazhu didn't think about it anymore, both of them were so tired that they started snoring soon.

Mu Yuanyong will have a small meeting with them every week to touch on the latest project and the current progress of the project. He listened to Wu Xiushou's report and found that the rapid progress of education and business has begun Frowning, I was very happy, I heard that there was help from Wu Xiushou's family, and said that this person still has some blood relationship, Wu Xiushou is extraordinary, and the people in his family are not stupid.

No one can talk about those things in the past. Just like Wu Xiushou, if he hadn't met Mu Yuanyong and Kong Ji, he would have been hard to get ahead in his life. It's not that he has no talent, but that he is a bit too advanced. up.

From a historical point of view, those who are too advanced are not necessarily treated as they should be.

Wu Xiushou was able to live well until now, to be honest, it was really because of his brother and sister-in-law's kindness.

There was good news from Wu Xiushou's side, but there was no news from Yunying's side. It turned out that he was really looking forward to something. Mu Yuanyong had just begged for a fake from Wen Hao, and news came from Yunying's side.

He had had a good night's sleep and was in a good mood, but now he almost laughed three times. He called Wu Xiushou, and Kong Ji, and the three of them had a small meeting at Yunying's place, and immediately the residents of the city Everyone knew the news that Yunying had surrendered to the robbers.

Now they were bolder, and they all gathered on the side of the street to welcome the team.

Yunying's mighty arrival might not have helped build Mu Yuanyong's reputation. He thought that the prince of a country would naturally have to manage his own reputation. He was so aggrieved all the way that he didn't dare to show his identity. If his aura is strong, then he will give him enough.

So I originally planned to enter in batches, so it would be faster, but Yunying had such an idea, so she gathered them all together with a wave of her hand. There are ten strongmen on the top of the mountain, some were surrendered, some were executed, and some were arrested and put on the ground. The ones in the cage, with their chariots and horses, put the money accumulated by these strong men over the years. They were so mighty, and they were even more magnificent than the emperor's chariots.

He had already arrived at the gate of the city, so he didn't go in first, and sent people to report first, planning to work together inside and outside to push Mu Yuanyong's momentum to an unprecedented level.

At first, he was worried about whether Mu Yuanyong could understand his meaning, but it didn't take long for the city gates to open, and the people he had never seen before occupied both sides of the street, and the street decorations were the same as before he went. On the other hand, he looked like a countryman who entered the city for the first time, and his eyes were a little blurry.

When we arrived at the magistrate’s yamen, the palace above the head had been demolished, and a sign was put on it saying “Special Administration Office”. There were also signs on several houses next to it, some saying it was the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, and some saying Next is the Ministry of Education. There are some people gathered in front of the door. Some people are filling in things with signs, and some people are busy with their work while looking at him.

Yunying saw that a stranger came out of the special administrative office, a middle-aged man, who looked miserable and dressed in ordinary clothes. At this time, she came up to him and introduced herself, claiming to be Wu Xiushou. The main person in charge of the administrative department, he spoke very quickly, and Yunying had to go around her head to understand what he meant.

This Wu Xiushou also said that His Highness is waiting for the good news from General Yun. There are many things that General Yun needs to report, and the people brought by General Yun also need to be arranged. Please General Yun send me a trustworthy person. , Here I have arranged people first, so as not to delay things by staying outside the city.

Yunying was taken aback by what he said, and she didn't object, and immediately sent someone to Wu Xiushou. Did he still think that this person was recruited by His Highness here?Seems like a quickie.

After he stayed here for two days later, he discovered that Wu Xiushou was not the only one. The biggest difference this new city made to Yunying was that it was fast, everything he did was fast, and he even got a new word from the prince. , It's called efficiency, and it happened that he attended a meeting held by Mu Yuanyong.

Mu Yuanyong said at the meeting that this is called efficiency, the efficiency of doing things, how to get the greatest results in the shortest time, now this is your most important task, the goal is already very clear, from the big goal to the phased goal , During meetings these days, everything that needs to be touched has already been touched. At present, the main thing is to improve everyone's efficiency. I want to praise two people here. He named Liu Housheng, who is in education, and Wang Xu, who is in business, and said that they are two The efficiency is good. In a short period of time, day by day, you can all see the results. I won’t name the others. The goals have been divided, but you still haven’t seen any results. You have to learn from each other. experience.

After he finished speaking at the meeting, he told Kong Ji during the break that he said it was really enjoyable to reprimand others at the meeting, and what the great man said last night is also very practical to use now, that is, it is easier to say too much With a dry mouth, he also said that it would be great if that kid Wu Xiushou could take his place, and he couldn't stay here all the time, he had to go to the border to have a look.

Then at night, Wu Xiushou, who was already so busy that he wanted to have two clones, received another task from Mu Yuanyong, which was to learn to speak.

How to express one's own opinion at the meeting, so that subordinates are not confused, know what they are going to do, and at the same time motivate their enthusiasm.

Mu Yuanyong knocked on the blackboard and said to Wu Xiushou, I call this course management.

Wu Xiushou: "..."

A real manager should learn from speaking. Following the words of teacher Mu Yuanyong, Wu Xiushou's life has become precious even when the time for sleeping has passed since the time for eating has passed.
