"Okay, that's it, what do you think of that kid Xingwang?" Lin Mei said to Shanzi.

In fact, today I mainly wanted Shanzi to choose a scholar, but I didn't expect to find an additional talent.

Shanzi is okay to say, the simple examination of the school's thriving literacy level, I think it's okay, and the person is so settled.

The rest of the people are waiting for Lin Mei'an to send them to work.

"The shopkeeper Tong will take over the work of the rich and noble, this is said in advance, you can go to him for a while to hand it over; Your daughter-in-law Diao's I think it's okay, the tofu workshop next to it has always been short of manpower, or let her do it temporarily, if it doesn't work in the future, then redeploy; Over the years, Uncle Cao has been alone in the old house and has no one to help, Tong Dayou and Bai Cui went to give Uncle Cao a hand, as for Nizi, just give Miss Hesan as a follower, this name has to be changed, you are called Ruyi, there is an auspicious one at home, you two will make up an auspicious Ruyi. As for Xingde being too young, it's still with his mother. ”

Lin Mei's words were actually said to the shopkeeper Tong, who said that the people of the Tong family were good, and Lin Mei helped them settle down, which can be regarded as what they said.

But the shopkeeper Tong looked at Xiao Xingde, a little worried, his father is the master who is not patient, if he hands over his grandson to the child and his father to discipline, what else can he do, frowned and said: "Although Xingde is young, he is also five years old, he was at home before, I helped enlighten him, if he followed his father, I am afraid that this child will be abandoned in a few years, or let him follow me, I can still teach him to read and write." ”

Lin Mei understood after thinking about it, Shopkeeper Tong originally wanted to let his grandson out of slavery, but due to family circumstances, he fell into slavery again, but he was free after five years, the child was only ten years old at that time, and Shopkeeper Tong put all his hopes on this child.

"You're the shopkeeper, and I'm afraid it's not good to take a grandson around the restaurant, and besides, there are so many complicated people there, don't go back and lose people again." Lin Mei is also a kind reminder.

The shopkeeper Tong just thought that he was afraid of delaying the child, but he didn't expect this fork, and he felt embarrassed for a while.

"Or, that's it, Mama Wu is old, usually in addition to teaching embroidery, there is nothing else to do during the day, if you can rest assured, hand over the child to her to help you carry, Ruyi can also help watch her brother from time to time." The two of you settle in the tofu shop next door, and you do your best to run errands during the day, and take the children back to discipline when you are not busy at night. ”

Where to find such a good thing, Shopkeeper Tong couldn't ask for it, and bowed deeply to Lin Mei.

"Everything has been assigned, everyone has dispersed, go down to Steward Xu first, he knows how to settle you." After Lin Mei finished instructing, she left.

Shanzi followed Lin Mei all the way back to the east wing of the backyard.

"Eldest sister, are you so optimistic about Tong Dacai?" Shanzi asked puzzled.

Shanzi was a little incomprehensible to Lin Mei's reuse of Tong Dacai.

Shanzi has been immersed in hard study for the past three years, and rarely asks about Lin Mei's business, let alone questions about such a person.

Lin Mei was afraid that he would be stupid when he read, and he wouldn't know anything but reading at that time. He glanced at him and said, "Let's talk about your first opinion of this person first, don't be biased." ”

Shanzi lowered his head and pondered for a while, before he said solemnly: "The impression that this person gave people when they met for the first time was that he was not annoying at most, and he was a cripple, and he could make people look at him twice when he put him in the pile, anyway, I can't see how capable he is." ”

"Do you know why you have to see it yourself and let you choose your own bookboy?" Lin Mei suddenly asked rhetorically.

"Is there anything between the two?"

Seeing that he still doesn't quite understand what he means, he also knows that this knowledge and use of talents is not something that can be taught at once, and he has to be guided slowly and step by step.

"How does it matter, this knows people and employs people, first of all, you have to know people, take your choice of scholars, people are your choice, what kind of temper and personality are prosperous before choosing, this is not in line with your character, do you need to understand it in advance? Then there is employing people, what are his specialties, whether he is suitable for being a scholar, you also have to think about it, right? In fact, there is no standard answer to this knowledge and employment, but there is one point that is interconnected, employing people's strengths, there are no people in the world who are not used, and there are no people who are available in the world. ”

After listening to this, Shanzi pondered it carefully in his heart, as if it was really such a thing, and couldn't help but read: "There is Bole in the world, but there are thousands of miles." Maxima often has, but Bole does not often have. Therefore, although there is a famous horse, it is only humiliated by the hands of slaves, and it is not called a thousand miles. …… He said: "There are no horses in the world!" "Woohoo! Is it really evil? I really don't know the horse! ”

After Shanzi finished reading, he asked Lin Mei: "It turns out that the eldest sister has also learned "Ma Shuo""

"The meaning is almost the same, that is, what kind of person is suitable for what position, if you make this clear, you will not be afraid of using the wrong person and doing the wrong thing in the future." Lin Mei saw that he had basically understood, and smiled with satisfaction.

"Then Tong Dacai, what errand are you going to let him do? Judging by your tone just now, it's still a big deal?!"

"Yes, it's right to think like this in the future." After Lin Mei finished speaking, she took a book from the bookshelf and handed it over.

Shanzi took it and took a look: ""Atlas of the Great Domain, the eldest sister still reads this kind of book?" ”

After speaking, I opened it and looked at it, and the more I looked at it, the more interesting it became.

"Eldest sister, where did you buy this book? Why don't you lend me a few days? ”

"This is what I happened to see last time I went to Taiyuan Bookstore, and I bought it to pass the time on the way, but the more I read it, the more I feel that some of the content described in this book is not very detailed, so I plan to ask Tong Dacai to help me investigate carefully." Lin Mei told the real reason.

This surprised Shanzi: "Eldest sister, are you planning to go far away in the future?" ”

"Otherwise, I also plan to expand the restaurant's business to Luoyang and Chang'an. Tong Dacai is equivalent to a spy, and it is better to help me explore the market over there first, than to cross the river with our eyes closed. ”

"Why do you have to let him go......"

Seeing that he didn't look very good-looking, Lin Mei interrupted him and said, "I know what you want to say, Tong Dacai has a leg disease, but this person has ambitions and ideals, but the more such a person is, the less he is valued by the world." If it were you, able-bodied and able to read a few words, would you be willing to go that far to do such a thing? Even if I did, could you guarantee that I would find out all the news I wanted? Don't underestimate him, the more such a person, as long as you pick him up first, he will try his best to do his errand well, and do it beautifully to prove his ability. ”

After speaking, he paused, remembered a historical record of the Tang Dynasty in his previous life, and continued: "Besides, this cunning rabbit still has three holes, and I can't put all my eggs in one basket." This Baishui Town is so big, and it is so close to the Northern Turks, I am afraid that if there is a war one day, then Taiyuan Mansion is very likely to become a place for the two armies to fight, and our Baishui Town ....... ”

"Eldest sister said carefully, you can't talk nonsense, if this spreads, you will be beheaded if you talk about the court." Shanzi shook off the book in his hand in fright, covered the eldest sister's mouth, and hurriedly stopped.

Lin Mei nodded, Shanzi put his hand down, ran to the door and looked left and right, and was relieved to see that there was no one.

Lin Mei saw that he was nervous, and she didn't dare to tell him more, could she tell him that the Turks would be wiped out by the Tang Dynasty sooner or later? Don't scare people to death yet.
