Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 854 Hidden Mission

Xiao Qian said that Shen Cewei ran with a heavy load, and everyone nodded, saying that they had heard of it.

Xiao Qian said: "Let's talk about running. There are 900 people on our boat. This trip to Goguryeo is like a ten-mile weight-bearing run. The poor family starts at the starting point of the ten-mile distance. The poor family has the function of recommending scholars from the distance. The finish line starts at nine miles, the nobles start at eight miles, and the three of us start at six miles.”

"Understood, we understand what you mean. The first one to reach the finish line is the best one. Just like in the officialdom, there are also people of the same age who are promoted to the fifth-rank official, but the children of famous families still stop at the seventh-rank. "

"That's exactly what it means. That's why Concubine Liu's last sentence has a deep meaning." Xiao Qian's attitude is that he doesn't intend to take advantage of it. Since he knows the rule, he will say it, because he himself is an excellent person, and he even believes that Even if he starts the race in the [-]th mile, he may also win the first place.

This confidence comes from the arrogance of a famous family.

"I heard that very few officials are sent here."

Xiao Qian said: "Exactly. So we can go further, but don't affect not only the pier, but the whole here. The first step is to make up."

Lu Chengqing nodded: "Brother Xiao is good at making up words, so let's split up at this time. I should go to the mining area tomorrow morning. If things are going to be done well, we must collect enough information."

Xie Jiunian also said, "It's better to change clothes."

"Changing clothes?" Xiao and Lu were stunned for a moment, and immediately came back to their senses. Lu Chengqing said with a smile: "Okay, good suggestion. Then let's split up, exchange information, and compare based on our talents."

Taking off the silk gown and changing into the blue linen overalls that are common on the wharf, the three sons of famous families lead others to act separately.

Lu Chengqing led people to change clothes, registered at the security office one by one and received the pass badge, then led his own people around a big tree: "No one can do everything well, we focus on what we are good at .In my opinion, increasing revenue and reducing expenditure is a further step.”

"Young Master Lu is right. What you save is what you earn. This is the usual theory of the General Secretary. Then we should also focus on this while investigating the reasons for the departure of the Goguryeo officials. How to reduce unnecessary expenses, And to increase the maximum utilization rate of the first supply, this is something we should investigate at the same time."

"Then we start with that goal."

Xie Jiunian also gathered his people together.

Xie Jiunian made his statement first:
"Our Xie family has made meritorious service in Wa Island. The greatest achievement of our Xie family is to teach hundreds of Japanese people. Here we can select excellent and obedient Goguryeo people, so that they will be loyal to the Tang Dynasty after they are literate. , become reliable subordinates under our management, and then use them to expand their influence, and finally let the Goguryeo people in the entire mining area care about Datang."

"This is a clever plan. Prince Liu's strategy of using the Japanese to control the Japanese has proved to be very successful. An elder in my family who works in the Ministry of Rites specially studied this plan when he participated in the temporary training class of the Sixth Great Court."

Hearing what this gentry boy said, Xie Jiunian thought that the goal had been determined.

"Okay, so besides investigating the reason why the Goguryeo officials left, our further goal is this direction. Then, in groups of three, everyone will start to act."

Xie Jiunian ordered two people to follow him, and the group separated.

Xiao Qian is also doing the same thing.

Xiao Qian said to the people she brought: "Efficiency determines income. Many years ago, Concubine Liu and Mr. Li Dejian had a duel. The seemingly simple theory of washing teapots and making tea has deep meaning. It takes the least time and the least effort. To accomplish the biggest thing, this is the knowledge that my sister learned from the Liu Mansion with great efforts and passed it home."

"This iron donkey is the way to go."

"Exactly, but there can't be iron donkeys here. Improving efficiency is not simply using better machinery, but starting from the workflow. This is the direction we are going to start. A group of three began to investigate. Want more Furthermore, it is definitely not as simple as just teaching Goguryeo people to read and write here.”

"Yes. Then here's the action."

The three sons of famous families brought their own staff and started to work with boundless enthusiasm in their hearts.

There is a small waterfall to the north of the pier, where there are so-called rest areas and meeting areas prepared by willow wood.If a family member of an official comes, a separate small courtyard will be arranged here.

Usually, the officials don't have time to come here at all. Whether it's the dock or the mining area, the work is quite heavy.

Liu Mu ate snacks, drank the tea made by Xiao Linger, watched the birds in the woods, and listened to the sound of the waterfall.

Baoqin came in and picked up the big cup and emptied all the water in the teapot.

"Don't tell me, these three people are really talented."

Baoqin told Liu Mu what happened on the pier.

Liu Mu said: "Very good. One focuses on political control, one focuses on production management, and the other focuses on financial management. It seems that the sage has already thought of it when he was selecting candidates."

"You mean, Mr. Lang?" Xiao Ling'er didn't continue, but the meaning was already obvious.

Liu Mu nodded: "That's right, these people are here to practice, maybe they weren't chosen by the sage himself, but the main personnel must have been selected, and the selection is also to achieve the sage's intention. These people will..."

Liu Mu didn't go on, there were some things he couldn't say.

Liu Mu could feel that Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty had begun to cultivate excellent officials for occupying the peninsula. Ten years later, these young people would become very powerful officials. Some of them would definitely be the most powerful in Le Langdao mid-level officials.

If it is only to teach Chinese to the Goguryeo people, it is not worth mobilizing so many teachers.

Two days later, Xiao Qian and others came to see Liu Mu, and everyone brought a thick file box and brief report materials.

"My son-in-law, the small officials of Goguryeo received their salaries from Pingcheng, and their food was also provided by Pingcheng. This was the content of the agreement at that time. Our officials here are very strongly opposed to providing food for Goguryeo officials."

Lu Chengqing handed over a record about food issues.

"There are countless sheep brought in every month. It is impossible for the officials of Goguryeo to eat the meals of the dock workers, but if we arrange the meals of our officials, it will take a cycle to transport the materials. It seems that they are afraid of their own meals. Affected." Liu Mu commented while flipping through the information.

Lu Chengqing said: "My son-in-law, the students would like to express their support for these officials."

"Okay." Liu Mu nodded with a smile.

Lu Chengqing could see that Liu Mu was very happy about the fact that the Goguryeo officials were driven away.
