It was noon on the twenty-first day of the winter month.

Dongchang Yamen.

In the huge courtyard, Zhou An conducted the first review and lecture on the newly established East Factory. It was only in the morning that the establishment of the East Factory was announced, and by noon, everyone was basically there.

There were more than 100 people in total, most of them were new secret guard management, and a small number, that is, twenty or thirty people, were eunuchs brought out by Zhou An from the inner court.

The internal structure of the East Factory was created by Zhou An, and he strictly distinguished the East Factory into two parts: civil and military, and the eunuchs he brought from the inner court were all civilian, serving as the head of the class, the foreman, the secretary and other positions, and was responsible for intelligence review, sorting out reports, and speaking for Zhou An.

There are also clerks at the bottom who are responsible for sorting out documents and information.

And the military position, basically is the secret guard of those people, Zhou An followed the Jinyi Guard commander, thousands of households, hundreds of households, and the establishment of the general flag, but the grassroots establishment has been changed, which is equivalent to the small flag of the squad leader, changed to the captain, and the grassroots officer, that is, those spies, is called the service.

Everyone gathered in the middle courtyard of the Dongchang Yamen, and the lowest position among the people who came was the chief of the seventh grade, of course, not all of them, this was just the management of the secret guards in the Qianjing City, and it was impossible to gather them locally, and even the matter of the reform of the secret guards had not yet been conveyed to the localities.

Zhou An, surrounded by several old eunuchs, gave a lecture to these people.

What is said is nothing more than asking them to do good things for the saints, rewarding them for their merits, punishing them if they have done something wrong, warning them, encouraging them, but in fact, they are all nonsense.

But this nonsense, many times, must be said.

This is equivalent to a meeting, and the purpose of the meeting, in addition to solving some problems, is to instill the ideas or wills of managers below.

Saying it again and again, constantly urging and spurring is like brainwashing.

Zhou An is very concerned about the East Factory, so he can't do a lot of things sloppily.

He just stood there and talked for half an hour, and also brought up the Wu Guoyu case, telling them not to repeat the mistakes of the past, saying something like "we can't rub sand in our eyes".

The current Zhou An can be described as a murderer.

Although he was young, except for a few little eunuchs present, there was no one younger than him, but no one dared to despise him, most of them showed a respectful posture, but there were also some who stood there with a straight body, with a face full of neither humility nor arrogance.

What's more, I didn't listen to Zhou An very carefully.

The identity of Eunuch Zhou An did have an impact on his "majesty".

Not only him, even if it is Kang Longji, when ordinary people talk about him, many people will call Kang Longji with the word "eunuch", which can be said to be a kind of discrimination, no matter whether you have the ability or not, no matter what your status is, if you don't have it below, you will be discriminated against.

It was already past noon, and Zhou An finished saying everything he had to say.

The weather was very cold, Zhou An said for half an hour, and they stood and listened for half an hour, and they were all quite offended.

"What should be said, our family has already said it, and you can all think about our family's words when you go back......" Zhou An finally said, and swept his eyes again, looking at a tall figure in the crowd.

The group of people who were summoned were naturally tall and short, but Zhou An looked at this person at the moment, and he was too tall.

The height is more than 1.9 meters, although it is not comparable to Gao Hong, but it is only half a head shorter than Gao Hong, the height is much higher than ordinary people, and it can be called a tiger's back and bear's waist, and his arms are extremely thick, and he looks like a fierce general.

And this person, from beginning to end, didn't listen to Zhou An very carefully.

It's always like I'm half asleep.

"Xu Kaitai!" Zhou An looked at this person and suddenly shouted.

This person suddenly sobered up, looked at Zhou Baoanquan and said, "Humble duty!" ”

"Do you remember what we just said?" Zhou An asked.

"Remember!" Xu Kaitai said.

"Okay, tell me about it, what did we just say?" Zhou An asked.

"This ...... This ......" Xu Kaitai couldn't speak, a little embarrassed, but his voice changed and said: "Humble and stupid, my lord, your words, humble duty is in your heart, if you let the humble position say, the humble position is not very good at ......"

It's like a fart.

He didn't listen at all, and the reason he couldn't say was not ordinary lameness.

"What do you mean by daring to love is that what our family says is not human, is it?" Zhou An sneered.

"That's not what lowly office means."

"Then you say!"

"Humble ...... Humble ...... I have a stupid brain and don't remember it, so please forgive me. After Xu Kaitai said this, he showed a very indifferent look.

Everyone felt it, and Zhou An seemed to be deliberately finding fault.

And this Xu Kaitai, although he was very respectful when talking to Zhou An, he didn't seem to be afraid of Zhou An, and he was not scared at all.

This Xu Kaitai is not an ordinary person.

He is Zhou An's newly appointed commander of the secret guard a few days ago, that is, the second person in the secret guard after the commander, and he was not originally employed in the secret guard, but in the military department, Zhou An ordered him to transfer him through the empress.

Xu Kaitai can be said to have been pulled up by Zhou An.

But now the situation is very strange.

Zhou An seemed to be a little reluctant to see Xu Kaitai.

Xu Kaitai didn't seem to take Zhou An too seriously.

They didn't know that Zhou An was just looking for someone to Liwei.

And this Xu Kaitai's personality is indeed interesting.

……

Xu Kaitai, now Chinese New Year's Eve nine years old, is stronger than Tang Hongfei, and has reached the middle grade of the earth, but he has a hot temperament and is a full boss.

The Frame Division is the department responsible for the work of herding and post work, and it can be said that it is a clear water yamen with little power.

Xu Kaitai's background is much larger than Tang Hongfei's, because he is a protégé of the eighty-eight-year-old old marshal Li Guangshan, Wu Xukuan once served as the generalissimo of the Zhongzhou Army, and the generalissimo of the Zhongzhou Army before him was Li Guangshan.

Li Guangshan was once a powerhouse in the Tiangang Realm, but he died in his sixties because he broke his leg and left him disabled.

But.

Although Li Guangshan has retired, and it has been more than 20 years since he retired, he is still alive and still has influence.

Xu Kaitai is Li Guangshan's protégé, and even in kung fu, he has obtained Li Guangshan's true biography, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is Li Guangshan's righteous son, which makes him even if he offends people, he is not demoted, and no one wants to harm him, but he is just transferred to Qingshui Yamen as an errand.

Like Tang Hongfei, Xu Kaitai is also the kind of person who is unwilling, and he is also a clean person.

That's why Zhou An transferred him from the military department to serve as the commander of the secret guard.

In fact, if compared to qualifications and martial arts strength, Xu Kaitai is better than Tang Feihong, but Zhou An still let Tang Hongfei serve as the commander, and Xu Kaitai can only be second, and he can be the commander of the same knowledge.

This has a lot to do with Xu Kaitai's character.

He is too straight, hot-tempered, not tactful enough, straightforward in everything, does not know how to be flexible, to put it bluntly, his brain is not as good as Tang Hongfei, he can be a very good executor, but he is by no means a qualified manager.

Xu Kaitai can be said to be a "bastard", so he can only be a conductor.

However, people like him are also full of merits.

For example, once he can gain the loyalty of a person like him, he will be loyal for the rest of his life, and the possibility of changing his mind is extremely low.

Also, he doesn't hold grudges.

This is one of the reasons why Zhou An wants to take him to Liwei, of course, there is another reason, that is, he is currently the strongest military attache in Dongchang! Medium-grade earth-shattering realm.

……

"Forgiveness? Why do you want our family to forgive you your sins? Zhou An said sharply.

It's too obvious to find faults.

Xu Kaitai's face changed, and then he showed his "unstingy" character vividly, he looked at Zhou An and said directly: "The humble duty is just that I don't remember the words of the adult, and the adult is unwilling to forgive the sin, so how do you want to punish the lowly position?" ”

Let him say this, he is really not afraid of offending Zhou An, and he doesn't care at all.

"Our family won't punish you heavily, just beat you for twenty boards, and when it's over, you can get it yourself." Zhou An said coldly.

"Obedience." Xu Kaitai didn't argue with Zhou An, it still didn't matter.

In fact, he really doesn't care about the twenty big boards, he is a strong person who cultivates the earth, and the twenty boards fall on him, like tickling, Zhou An beat him on the twenty big boards because of such a trivial matter, and the meaning of humiliation seems to be greater.

Zhou An didn't seem to be able to let Xu Kaitai go.

He looked at Xu Kaitai and was silent for a moment before saying, "Wait, let's do it...... Our family knows that you are very strong, so talented and arrogant, do not put our family in your eyes, our family will give you a chance, you fight with our family, if you lose, then the board will be followed, if you win our family, the board will be exempted, how? ”
