Liu Pet 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 completely. He wears a uniform that resembles a military uniform, with three elaborate silk logos on his left arm. Yesterday, Zhao Guanjia just glanced at them and recognized these two signs.

Retracting his gaze from the sign, Zhao Jiaren said with a smile: "The Yellow River North Return Labor Memorial Sign." Commemorative symbol of the Battle of Huaxian War. Commemorative symbol of the Battle of the Yellow River. It looks like you're fighting from start to finish. ”

Zhao Guanjia's voice was younger than Liu Pet imagined, and Liu Pet still couldn't imagine that he could hear Zhao Guanjia's voice so closely. All he remembered was that he immediately replied aloud, "Yes." Tai Wei, I was fighting with you in Henan at the time. This is really extremely vulgar when I think about it now, Liu Chong can't understand how he could say such a thing at that time.

Obviously, Zhao Guanjia was not moved by Liu Chong's words, he turned his head to the one from the Intelligence Bureau and said: "Since he has participated in the Battle of the Yellow River and understands armor, he will be seconded to me as a guard for a few days these days." Let him come to me tomorrow. ”

After hearing this, Liu Pet was completely stunned. What happened after that was lost in his confused mind. What can be remembered is that after Zhao Guan's family left, the deputy director of the General Intelligence Bureau immediately took Liu Pet back to the General Intelligence Bureau, first arranged a place for him to live in the guest house of the General Intelligence Bureau, and asked Liu Pet to stay here and not go home. Then there were a number of formalities and lectures.

After such a chaotic period, early the next morning, Liu Pet was woken up by the alarm clock he had set. He quickly sorted it out and prepared to be a guard for Zhao Guan's family.

There was a knock at the door, and someone outside came in. All he said was, "Follow me." Then he turned and walked away. Liu Pet followed him to the gate of the guest house, where there was already a carriage waiting. The sky was still dark, and Liu Pet followed the person to get into the car. He thought that the other party would say something, but everyone sat silently in the car. Until you stop at the entrance of the back garden by the West Lake.

The soldier in a beautiful black military uniform handed over to the people of the General Intelligence Bureau at the door, "This is Liu Pet?" ”

"Yes. This is Liu Pet of our General Intelligence Bureau. ”

"Sign here."

After the simple formalities were completed, Liu Pet followed the Royal Forest Army in a black military uniform into the back garden. Originally, Liu Pet thought that he was going to be with the guards, but he didn't expect that the people over there would directly bring him into the palace of Zhao Guan's family. In this strange place, Liu Pet didn't even dare to come out, and silently followed the Imperial Forest Army inside.

When I entered a room, I saw Zhao Guan's family sitting inside looking at something. Liu Chong was shocked, he didn't expect to see Zhao Guan's family so easily. Then I saw Zhao Guanjia raise his head and ask, "Have you eaten?" ”

"Qi Qi Guan's family, eat!" Liu Pet couldn't help but lie.

"Haha." Zhao Guanjia smiled, "I'll tell you, if you haven't eaten, you will say that you haven't eaten." If you don't eat now, you'll be hungry all morning. ”

Liu Pet only felt warm in his heart, and he said that nonsense was definitely not malicious. The family taught him since he was a child not to cause trouble to others, and the troubled party will be unhappy. When Zhao Guanjia said this, Liu Pet immediately replied ashamedly: "I really forgot to eat when I went out in the morning." ”

"Take two meals." Zhao Jiaren ordered.

The meals of the two were exactly the same, and Liu Pet, who was used to eating the canteen, saw the obvious characteristics of the army canteen on these two meals. Zhao Guan's family eats no different from ordinary people, but he seems to prefer to drink two more sips of polenta.

After eating, the two sat at the table, and Liu Pet listened to Zhao Guan's family ask: "I saw the report of Jinan Silk Reeling Factory." That person above should be you, right? ”

Liu Chong was shocked when he boarded, he didn't expect that the purpose of Zhao Guan's family calling him was not Hebei, but the silk reeling workshop where Liu Chong himself had completely left aside. Although surprised, Liu Pet immediately replied, "Yes." I worked in the silk reeling workshop for a while. ”

"And helped them improve the equipment in the workshop?" Zhao Jiaren continued to ask.

"Yes." Liu Pet replied weakly.

Zhao Guanjia said: "I am going to the silk reeling factory in Hangzhou in the next few days, and you will go with me." ”

After Zhao Guan's family left, Liu Pet sat at the table in a daze. He thought about it carefully, but found that he couldn't remember what he was doing in the silk reeling workshop at all. At that time, the memories were only scattered fragments, and it was too difficult to put them together. This made Liu Pet suddenly wonder if he had been in that workshop. Maybe it was just a dream that Liu Pet had, just like those other bizarre dreams that Liu Pet had had.

After another while, Liu Pet was called to go. The group went straight to the city, which is located downstream of Hangzhou's water source. Entering the factory gate, just smelling the smell in the air, Liu Pet felt that his memory was beginning to recover.

Entering the hot and humid workshop, smelling the indescribable smell, Liu Pet was surprised again, how could he forget such a thing. Although, the whole feeling is obviously much better. At least the smell was much thinner, and the steam wasn't as hot as it used to be. At least to the point where it's acceptable.

The neckline, cuffs, trouser legs, hems of the workers' clothes have been tightened. The placket of the placket seems to be very different, too.

The factory director here looks like a soldier, and his naturally straight back still has that feeling. Although he was a little anxious, he was single-minded in getting his job done. Anyone who has experienced the battlefield will have such an experience, there is death in front of it, but no one is willing to retreat. Defeating the enemy and winning the victory can be extremely anxious.

The factory director who walked beside Zhao Jiaren introduced the situation, "Official, this is the last batch of silkworm cocoons this year. We've tried the kind of cold storage you mentioned. But no moth came out. But that wouldn't be too costly? ”

Zhao Jiaren replied: "It's okay. It's all just an experiment. If it's too expensive, we don't need it. And cold storage is certainly beneficial, silkworm chrysalis will not deteriorate. If the silkworm chrysalis is poisoned to death, it cannot prevent the silkworm chrysalis from rotting. ”

"Yes." The director nodded repeatedly.

Liu Pet couldn't understand what the two were talking about, he just followed. There is only one factory in the silk reeling workshop in Jinan, and there are many more silk reeling workshops here. Liu Pet followed Zhao Guan's family one after another, and at the beginning he was still trying to remember. After passing through a few workshops, I can't remember clearly. In each workshop, a workshop director temporarily joined the group, saying things that Liu Pet seemed to understand.

Zhao Guanjia didn't seem to know that they were tired, so they walked one by one. Liu Pet felt that some physical strength was unbearable. At noon, everyone ate in the canteen of the silk reeling factory. Liu Pet only felt hungry, so he ate half of the rice with a sour soup rice and fish, Liu Pet suddenly remembered that if he hadn't had breakfast at Zhao Guan's house in the morning, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to withstand it now.

Turning his head to look at Zhao Guan's house, he saw that he was naturally eating food that was no different from everyone, and Liu Chong only felt extremely moved in his heart. All kinds of thoughts turned into one idea, for the sake of Zhao Guan's family, Liu Pet didn't care about going to the soup.

In the afternoon, the tour was not continued, but a meeting was held in the conference room of the factory. Knowing that it was Zhao Guan's family who came, everyone looked at it vigorously, but no one spoke. In front of the Son of Heaven, where do these working people dare to speak up.

Liu Pet saw Zhao Guanjia stand up, as if he was about to speak. In the Battle of the Yellow River, Liu Zhong heard Zhao Guanjia speak in public more than once, but the speeches of Zhao Guanjia were shouted by the people who spread the voice. Being so close to Zhao Guan's house is the first time for Liu Pet.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am Zhao Jiaren, an official of today's family. It's the first time I've met most of us, hello everyone. ”

Such a simple opening sentence caused a murmur below. Liu Pet felt that this seemed to be a little inexplicably out of step with the identity of the official family. But if you don't say that, how to say it, Liu Pet doesn't know. From the perspective of a normal meeting, this 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 time is how to make the silk factory better. So that you can use your own hands to earn more here. And it's a little more comfortable than before. Now let's introduce ourselves to each other. Let's start talking. ”

The meeting was attended by the workshop director, or someone who did a good job. To Liu Chong's surprise, there were still members of the society among these people. Liu Pet is also a member of the Society, and in his feelings, the Society itself seems to have nothing to do with the sweaty workers......

"This is called Liu Pet. I worked in a silk reeling factory in Shandong. The proposal I forwarded to the factory was written by Liu Zhong and the director of the Shandong silk reeling workshop. Zhao Jiaren introduced.

After hearing this introduction, everyone's eyes on Liu Pet immediately became enthusiastic. This made Liu Pet a little weak-hearted, his specialty is not engaged in silk production, but analyzing intelligence, or killing enemies on the battlefield.

"Director Liu, the advice on that clothes and changing the water is really good." The director here praised bluntly.

Under his introduction, Liu Pet understood what was happening. At that time, he could not solve the problem of preventing steam ingress into clothes, but he solved it in such a large silk factory. And Liu Pet put forward a suggestion to reduce the temperature of the workshop at that time, but he felt that it was too hot to cook cocoons directly in the workshop. The silk factory here has also systematically solved this problem. What they take is to cook the cocoons outside and bring in the cauldron where the cocoons have been boiled. In this case, only a few pieces of honeycomb coal are placed under the cauldron to maintain the overall temperature. The temperature inside the workshop is also greatly reduced.

Listening to his immature suggestions being solved one by one here, Liu Pet felt that it was better not to talk too much. These people are much more professional than him, and Liu Pet can't come up with a solution that he can't think of after racking his brains, and it is easy to solve it here.

After talking for a while, they 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?" ”

Where did Liu Pet dare to get an axe, 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, the crowd was silent. Liu Pet saw that everyone's expressions were not quite right, and he quickly explained: "When I was in Shandong, there were particularly capable workers who could earn two times a week. I think using these methods is to recruit more people. Like Shandong, after coming, it depends on who can persevere. Some people do it fast, some people do it slowly. And in this environment, many people actually don't like it and don't want to work here. So some people go, some people stay. In the end, those who are left are the most capable. Earn more, everyone ...... Glad. ”

What Liu Pet said was all he came up with based on his own experience, but looking at the reactions of other people so cold, there was even an indescribable resistance in it. Liu Pet is more and more empty-hearted, and finally ended hastily.

After Liu Pet stopped his mouth, there was silence in the room. After a while, I heard the factory director speak: "Official." Is this what Director Liu said you mean? ”

Zhao Guanjia said with a smile: "I brought him here this time because I knew the report he wrote. The silk industry is a very important industry in our Great Song Dynasty. When you have a meeting with everyone, it is natural to brainstorm ideas. ”

Listening to Zhao Guanjia's words, Liu Chong only felt that this attitude was completely different from the simple and refreshing emotions of Zhao Guanjia's before. If Zhao Guan's family used such an attitude to let Liu Pet have breakfast together, Liu Pet probably had to think very seriously about whether there was something else in it.

After Zhao Guanjia finished speaking, the factory director said: "Guanjia." There has always been a fixed set for salaries in silk mills. What you do here, how long you work, naturally there is a corresponding income. If it is changed so easily, I am afraid that many people will not be convinced. ”

Liu Pet didn't agree with it in his heart when he heard it. Based on his experience in Shandong, many people do not necessarily like working in silk factories. But there are also people who like to earn money by working. No matter how hard the work is, they can persevere. For these people, as long as they can talk well, they can come up with very effective means to work more comfortably.

After re-experiencing the silk reeling workshop, Liu Pet now remembers the previous two weeks. The biggest help to him was not Liu Pet himself or the workshop director, but those particularly capable workers. Of course, those who are particularly capable of working also have a much higher income than those who can't.

completely remembered what happened before, and Liu Pet suddenly felt something in his heart. Zhao Guanjia said at the beginning that he came to talk about making everyone earn more. And these are also the contents mentioned by Liu Pet in the report.

It turned out that the Zhao official family could remember themselves, and it had nothing to do with the war and intelligence. Liu Pet had mixed feelings in his heart. This kind of unintentional thing has only been heard of before.

"Official, I think workers can take this into account when grading. If you do a good job, you can increase your salary. The director of the factory has been telling his opinion.

Liu Pet felt more and more uncomfortable the more he listened. Then Liu Pet heard Zhao Guanjia speak: "Director Liu, do you have anything to say?" After all, you wrote the report. ”

"This ......" Liu Chong hesitated for a moment, and then felt that he was a member of Zhao Guan's family after all, even if he angered the director of the silk factory, he didn't have to worry, Liu Chong would soon return to Jinan to join the front line of the war against Mongolia. So he relented and said cheerfully: "I think everyone is here to make money." Do more, earn more. That's good to talk to you. I've never worked in a factory, and in the two weeks I've been in Shandong, everyone thinks it's only natural that they get paid for their work, and the more they work, the more they get. ”

"How long have you been working in Shandong? Fortnight? The factory director grasped the main point in Liu Pet's words.

"Yes." Liu Pet didn't explain either.

"What do you know about two weeks?" The director of the factory said angrily, "Silk production has accumulated for thousands of years, and there have long been many rules in it. How much have you learned in two weeks? ”

Then the director began to talk for a while. What he said seemed to be very professional. Liu Pet didn't understand it at all. He already knew that he didn't know anything about silk production, and when he heard such professional words, he was even more weak-hearted.

It's just that the factory director is quite aimed at Liu Pet, although Liu Pet is weak-hearted, he can understand all kinds of unfriendliness of the factory director. This made Liu Pet more and more unhappy in his heart. Originally, Liu Pet still wanted to calm things down, but there was a lot of anger in his heart, so that Liu Pet couldn't swallow this breath.

“…… Haven't you ever eaten pork, haven't you seen a pig go? The rules have been changed for so long, where can they be changed. Speaking of this, the factory director paused, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"May I ask the factory director, have you taken a course on war and social management in the school?" Liu Pet asked in a deep voice.

The factory director swallowed the tea, put down the teacup, stared at Liu Pet and asked, "What class did you just say?" ”

"War and Sociological Management." Liu Chong repeated in a loud voice.

"What's that?" The director asked.

After listening to such a clear answer, Liu Pet only felt relaxed for a while. War and Sociological Management is a course for military officers. Classes are taught by the Third Bureau, which is responsible for education in the school and the army. There are a number of things in this course, one of the main points is: I have never eaten pork, but I eat and sleep with pigs every day, and I don't know what pork tastes like.

The speech of the director of the silk factory made Liu Chong feel that this person probably did not take this course, because this example is mentioned in several chapters. First of all, in the course of logic, there is no causal relationship between the taste of pork and the pig walking, and putting these two things together is logically wrong.

In the paradoxical chapter, this is again used as a matter of prioritization. There is a contradiction in any matter, and to use this argument is a kind of sophistry of confusion. Based on Liu Chong's experience and experience in the intelligence agency, when someone says such a thing, it means that the person himself has no idea what he is facing.

A person who doesn't know what he's facing, doesn't have to take most of what he says to heart too much. This is what everyone who is engaged in intelligence work should be reminded of. Truly knowledgeable people may have countless questions and puzzles, but they will never make essential mistakes.

Seeing that the frightened part of Liu Pet's expression continued to subside, the factory director also felt that Liu Pet was a sign that he was going to fight back against him, so the factory director said proudly with a condescending white neck: "Director Liu, what do you mean by this." ”

"I mean, you don't know what a steam engine is for." Liu Pet said loudly. Saying such a thing to a guy who seemed to be an expert, Liu Pet was of course a little uneasy. But the exhilarating feeling after the counterattack made his mood feel as if he had inserted wings, and he fluttered as if he was flying.

After being denied for so long, Liu Pet felt extremely happy to completely deny his opponent in one fell swoop.

A guy who had only worked in the silk reeling workshop for two weeks said such arrogant words, and the factory director couldn't help but laugh angrily, "Hehe! Ha ha! Well said, keep talking! ”

"You don't know what a steam engine is for!" Liu Pet repeated his words again. At this point, he made a deduction with simple logic. Liu Zhong now remembered all the experience, and the reason why he was initially forced to participate in the establishment of the silk reeling factory was simple: the Jinan Intelligence Department was instructed to screen workers for this new factory.

In what I heard today, Liu Chong's report also guided various changes in the factory, which showed that the factory director himself came into contact with the production of new silk reeling after Liu Chong.

Putting all this together, the director, who thought he had mastered all the secrets of silk production, knew little about the addition of the steam engine. Liu Pet can still be regarded as his predecessor.

Collecting intelligence is a very important part of the work of the intelligence department, and people like Liu Pet have to get information through interrogation. Interrogation is bound to encounter lies, and the difference between lies and truth is that there is a big problem with its logic. If you agree with people who have never eaten pork, have you never seen a pig walk, they probably don't feel the logical problem with this. But those who come from the intelligence service have to learn how to distinguish logic so as to judge the truth from the false.

Not only that, but in many cases, you have to make the other party feel the logic. Just like during the emergency interrogation, Liu Pet will also brutally cut the throat of the leader in front of the minions to obtain testimony. This method looks extremely brutal, but its internal logic is not to be brutal.

Let the minions know that if you don't speak, you will die, this is an effective way to obtain a confession.

And killing the boss, looking lost an important source of intelligence. However, when it comes to intelligence operations, many things don't require so much precision. And the more the ringleader knows, the more likely he is to make up nonsense. However, the minions know less, and their simple information is enough to sketch a basic outline. As long as you don't think too much, you won't have an accident.

Now, Liu Pet is ready to fight back against this factory director who lacks tolerance. In any case, Liu Chong is also a cadre at the level of a regular department, and he is the lowest-level court official. Liu Chong really couldn't find any reason for him to accept 'being attacked in front of the Zhao official family to the point that he was incomplete'.

"After the steam engine enters the factory, the factory is divided into three types of people, one is in charge of machines, one is in charge of machine production, and the other is in charge of machines and production. And this kind of production is no longer a person who has to understand a lot. In Shandong, people without any foundation can learn to use a machine to reel silk as long as they train for one day. My experience in Shandong has taught me one thing, you just said so much, it is useless. Without the stuff you mentioned, a factory with a steam engine would still be functioning well. I don't think the factories with the steam engine would have run better without what you're talking about! ”

Just when the two were fighting each other, they heard someone laugh out loud. The cockfighting two turned their heads angrily, but saw that Zhao Guanjia couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh. Judging by the way he looked, the laughter was out of amusement.
