Chapter 213: Xue Zhi

The lobby of the Governor's Palace was crowded with people. One by one, they stretched out their heads and looked nervously in the direction of the door, but they didn't dare to move around, and they felt that it was not polite to move in place, so they simply stood motionless.

There are two rows of chairs next to it, and a table next to it also has a freshly cut fruit bowl. A few gray-haired old men still stubbornly refused to sit down, saying that this broke the rules and politeness.

"Lord Chin has arrived."

The guards waiting at the gate shouted loudly, quite like the palace eunuchs.

The craftsmen waiting in the room breathed a sigh of relief, and then their hearts rose to their throats. It is the first time for many people to see such a big official, for fear that their words and deeds will be careless, and their heads will move at noon tomorrow.

"See your Excellency."

I don't know which well-informed person took the lead in kneeling down to greet him, and the others also hurriedly knelt down and shouted in unison. The voices are uneven, one after another, like a group of disgusting frogs in the midnight pond, and they don't know how to finish all of them.

Master Chen walked straight to the front row, picked up the oldest-looking old man, and motioned for the others to hurry up. The old man was unexpectedly flattered, but he didn't cry bitterly, but just bowed to Chen Baichuan in honor.

Chen Baichuan said with a smile: "Old man, old age is respectful, you are at the age of being my grandfather, so you don't have to salute." Ladies and gentlemen, you don't have to bow down in the future, just call me an adult when we meet. ”

The craftsmen were either grateful, or relieved, anyway, the hearts that mentioned their throats were put down. This young official seems to be very amiable.

The purpose of Chen Baichuan's approach is to make them feel approachable. [txt full works download.] This group of precious craftsmen is the foundation of their own research and development in the near future. They need to be creative and dare to be the first in the world. They need to have a superior they trust to guide them.

Chen Baichuan is happy to be such a chief, and he also knows that no one else is capable of doing it except himself.

In the cognition of other subordinates, the production drawings in their own minds, one after another, whimsy, or think that it is a strange story, or think that it is a strange and evil skill. What's more, the people he chose were a group of craftsmen with low social status.

Therefore, Chen Baichuan can only take on this responsibility by himself.

However, he was busy, and although the craftsmen were an important part of the whole plan, he still did not have the energy to devote himself to it. Chen Baichuan gathered these carefully selected craftsmen together today, with the purpose of selecting a leader from among them to take charge of the craftsmen for him.

Lord Chen motioned for them to sit down, the scene was a little chaotic, there were not enough chairs in the lobby. Fortunately, the argument about who should sit and who should stand did not arise, because the craftsmen were simple people, and soon they gave up their chairs to the rickety old men.

The main seat was naturally left to Chen Baichuan, and after he sat down, he said: "I have two purposes for asking everyone to come here today, one is to congratulate you on successfully fighting your way out of the encirclement and becoming one of the people I hired this time." ”

Chen Baichuan's clichés of later generations were fresh to the ears of the unheard of craftsmen, and they all had a grateful look on their faces and were excited. It was as if everyone was really a hero who rushed out of the battlefield, and a strange sense of satisfaction grew in their hearts.

Lord Chen struck while the iron was hot and said: "Those present are all leaders from all walks of life, and this official will first explain the issue of wages to everyone - I believe this is what everyone is most interested in." In addition to the fact that the notice is one percent higher than that given by others, the official also implements a bonus system here, and it is not a problem for those who do a good job and do a lot of work to get two or three times the salary every month. ”

"Don't you want us to do the murderer's business......" A whispered inquiry came from the corner.

The excited expressions of the others also calmed down, after all, the chance of being hit by the pie that fell in vain was too small, but the person in the corner said it was true, should it be that everyone wants to die?

"Haha......" Lord Chen couldn't help laughing, "This official is a first-class minister, an official of the imperial court, can he still take you to do something illegal?" ”

When everyone thought about it, they laughed along.

"Then why do you give us high wages?"

It was a sturdy middle-aged man who spoke, he walked from the back row to the middle of the lobby, quietly waiting for Chen Baichuan to reply.

Master Chen was a little surprised, in his opinion, this group of craftsmen is a little timid to put it mildly. He had thought that he would pick out one of them today who was absolutely obedient to him, but now it seemed that he had a better choice.

This guy had the courage to come up from the back row and ask himself, and he had already proven that he was extraordinary. It also proves that this is an ambitious guy.

Ambition is also a driving force.

Chen Baichuan stared at his eyes, and the middle-aged man's gaze met him without hesitation. Although there was a hint of trepidation in his eyes, it was not easy for a craftsman in a small city to do this.

"The official told you that the salary is high, and the official will give you an additional official and a knight. Of course, not everyone has it. But there is a part of you who will go down in history, and your name will be written in the martyrs' shrine in a hundred years, and you will be mourned and worshiped by the people of later generations. ”

- Shhh

Everyone present let out a breath, if Lord Chen's money offensive was a sharp knife, his words would be missiles, or even nuclear weapons. After this nuclear weapon exploded in the crowd, everyone couldn't help but talk about the so-called etiquette.

Listening to some of these voices of disbelief, Master Chen simply threw another nuclear bomb. He smiled and said: "The official knows that you are afraid that the official will go back on his word, these are the employment documents, you can take them home and read them, and then make a decision." ”

Chen Baichuan took out pieces of paper from his arms and distributed them to the craftsmen one by one. With an indescribable taste, the crowd left the Governor's Palace, still in amazement. Only the sturdy middle-aged man just now stayed and waited in the hall.

Chen Baichuan looked at his plain and broad face and asked, "Why are you still here?" ”

The man's voice was simple: "Your Excellency hasn't answered my question yet." ”

"Oh?" Chen Baichuan picked up the tea cup on the table, leaned on his lips and took a sip of tea, and then replied to him, "For the sake of the country, for the sake of Chen Guo a hundred years later." ”

"Hmm." The middle-aged man nodded vigorously.

Chen Baichuan asked him again: "You don't think my answer is too wide?" ”

He replied: "I'm a rough person, I don't know what the adults mean specifically, but when I hear the words 'for Chen Guo', I know that I follow the adults." ”

As he spoke, he bit his finger and pressed the note.

"Do you know words?"

"I don't know."

"Aren't you afraid that the official will deceive you?"

"Don't be afraid."

"What's your name?"

"My name is Xue Zhi."

Chen Baichuan looked up to the sky and smiled, and walked away.
