Chapter 17 Talent Selection
"The words of Lord Chu in the palace just now are really deafening, those old guys are all like frost beating eggplants, it's gone!"
"Lord Chu is really a model for my generation, and a few words can make a great Confucian like Song Wentong speechless."
The young officials surrounded Chu Feng, and if they praised him in various ways and flattered him, they even opened their mouths, but fortunately, Chu Feng knew that few of these people were sincere.
After all, they are now in power and are favored by the empress, so it is not surprising that they are sycophants at this time.
Moreover, officialdom has always been high and low.
Whoever gains power, they will naturally seek after whom.
When the officials passing by the old school saw this scene, their faces were like black charcoal, and although they were unwilling in their hearts, they did not dare to refute it.
Chu Feng is gaining momentum now.
They didn't want to offend Chu Feng at this time.
Back to the house.
Chu Feng took out a roster from his arms.
This roster was taken by Chu Feng to the celebrant eunuch, and the roster recorded the names of all the eunuchs in the palace.
Since the East Factory is to be formed.
Naturally, there is a need to recruit talent.
That same evening.
Chu Feng asked the little eunuch in the palace to release the news of Dongchang's recruitment of talents.
As soon as the news spread, it instantly caused a lot of sensation in the palace, and many eunuchs themselves were difficult to promote, and some of them still had unique skills, and some were familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, but they had no opportunity to show their talents.
Now Chu Feng set up the East Factory.
Naturally, they will not let go of such a good opportunity.
The next day.
Many eunuchs gathered at the gate of the house.
Chu Feng specially called a few little eunuchs to maintain order, and then assessed the eunuchs who came one by one.
"Name."
"Little Guizi."
"Why did you enter the palace?"
"Poor."
"What will happen?"
“......”
........
"What's your name?"
"Little Zhuozi."
"Why did you enter the palace?"
"The family is poor."
"What will you write?"
“......”
At the end of the whole day, Chu Feng assessed hundreds of eunuchs, and the last one was not hired, because these eunuchs did not have any merits, and most of them were not skilled people.
This is contrary to the talent that Chu Feng needs.
What he set up in the East Factory needs is a person with a bright head, a unique skill, and a ruthless heart.
A nobody.
Not in his mind.
Night.
Chu Feng brought porridge and water to the imprisoned Cao Huachun.
Just as Chu Feng was about to leave, Cao Huachun asked weakly, "Why did so many eunuchs come to the mansion today?" ”
Hearing this, Chu Feng turned his head and looked at Cao Huachun with a playful expression.
"Do you have the leisure to listen to the movement outside?"
Cao Huachun leaned against the wall with his back and said with a smile: "The Sprinkle family will die sooner or later, can't you prick up your ears to listen to the movement outside?" You must be promoted, and those minions will come to support you, right? ”
"You guessed wrong."
Chu Feng shook his head and told Cao Huachun about the establishment of the East Factory.
Cao Huachun has no threat now, and when he told him, he was completely thinking to see if the other party could come up with an idea.
After Chu Feng finished speaking.
I saw Cao Huachun snort coldly and said: "You are so fanfare, even if some people want to come, they will be discouraged because the movement is too big, Xiao Chuzi, you are still too young." ”
Chu Feng was puzzled: "How do you say this?" ”
Cao Huachun explained slowly: "Most of the people who enter the palace as eunuchs are because their families are poor and can't open the pot, so they are sent to the palace as eunuchs. ”
"I see."
Chu Feng suddenly realized, and he only then understood why none of the eunuchs who were assessed during the day entered his eyes.
Cao Huachun glanced at Chu Feng meaningfully, and said: "If you want to set up Dongchang and absorb talents, the best way is to find those prisoners of the defeated country, as well as the secret agents of the enemy country. ”
"What do you mean?"
Chu Feng's eyes narrowed, and he vaguely felt that Cao Huachun had something to say.
Cao Huachun seemed to see through Chu Feng and said: "Little Chuzi, don't think that the Sprinkle family doesn't know, you, like the Sprinkle family, have no sense of identity with the Great Zhou Kingdom, and you set up the East Factory to absorb talents, and you don't really do things for the imperial court." ”
Hearing him say this, Chu Feng smiled and said, "I didn't expect Gonggong Cao, your limbs were wasted, but your head was much brighter. ”
Cao Huachun looked at Chu Feng, his eyes were full of curiosity: "Little Chuzi, anyway, sooner or later, the Sprinkle family will be sucked dry of your internal force, both horizontally and vertically, and the Sprinkle family has only one wish, that is, please tell me, who are you?" ”
"You want to know?"
Chu Feng raised his eyebrows, and then grinned: "Only the dead will know the secret, Gonggong Cao, don't worry, when you are about to die, I will definitely tell you." ”
Chu Feng was very cautious, he would not reveal his identity until he completely absorbed Cao Huachun's internal force.
Hearing this, Cao Huachun was not angry at all, nodded and said, "Then it's a word!" ”
Late at night.
Chu Feng put on his cloak, left the mansion, and went to Qianning Palace.
Qianning Palace.
Chu Feng visited late at night, and Princess Wu Ning of Changning was a little surprised, and she couldn't help but be vigilant in her heart, and asked:
"What are you going to do?"
"To the princess... No, I should call you Luo Yao. ”
Chu Feng sat down swaggeringly in front of Luo Yao and said, "I came to find you, I must have asked you for help, is it difficult to find you for love?" ”
"Hmph, you are a eunuch, are you qualified to fall in love?"
Luo Yao stared at Chu Feng coldly: "Since you are looking for my help, then just say what you need me to do." ”
Luo Yao didn't want to help Chu Feng from the bottom of his heart, but the other party had his own handle.
Chu Feng said: "You are the holy daughter of Qianguo, presumably there are still your helpers in the palace, Your Majesty asked me to set up the East Factory, I need some people with unique skills, you give me the list of the palace's internal personnel, I let them enter the East Factory, how about it?" ”
A hint of coldness flashed in Luo Yao's eyes: "Looking for someone to me?" Aren't you afraid that they will find an opportunity to kill you when the time comes? ”
"We are all people in the same boat, besides, Da Zhou is now attacking your country, and I formed Dongchang, and I am not really loyal to Da Zhou, for this reason, I think your people should not poison me."
Chu Feng looked confident.
As the saying goes, the enemy of the enemy is the friend.
Luo Yao is the princess of Changning on the surface, but his real identity is the saintess of the Qianguo, his people are also from the Qianguo, and Chu Feng is the crown prince of the Chu State.
In a sense, we all have a common enemy.
That's - Zhou Guo!
Stirring up chaos within the Zhou Kingdom, how could Luo Yao have a reason to refuse?
"Looks like you're going to work with you?"
