Late Ming sea owl

Chapter 130 Personnel
"You know you're back, this heartless man with a knife in his hands?" On the afternoon of the first day of the sixth year of Tianqi, in the back house of the Qianhu Yamen Office in Zhoushan Zhongzhongsuo, Zhu Niang pinched the back of Lin Hai's hand and twisted it hard.

"Hiss! This lady's hand strength is more than enough for my husband to be a formidable swordsman." Lin Hai grinned exaggeratedly.

"What is a wolf hand?" Zhu Niang stopped and asked in confusion.

"It's nothing. However, you, a scoundrel, have good motivation to settle down, so you must keep it up." Lin Hai responded with a playful smile.

"Swear again, watch your skin." Upon hearing this, Zhu Niang straightened her sword eyebrows and glared at Lin Hai.

"Husband, this is a compliment... How can I scold you before I can love you?"

"Bah! You have such a sweet tongue, I don't believe it. You must have fallen in love with someone else somewhere, and you didn't go back to the house on New Year's Eve."

"Don't talk nonsense, you know that I have been in the military camp these days." Lin Hai said, "Besides, didn't I come back to celebrate the New Year with you? The first day of the Lunar New Year is also the New Year."

Zhu Niang still said reluctantly: "What do you mean, it's already afternoon when we get home. Pity me and Xie'er, we are so deserted during the Chinese New Year..."

"Don't I have to go to the General's Mansion to pay New Year's greetings?" Lin Hai went to pay New Year's greetings to He Rubin in the morning. People called him Deng Wanxian's nephew. It was really inappropriate not to go and pay New Year's greetings when he was so close.

Besides, he is not expected to come back from his trip to Dongfan this time for two months. If he is absent from his post for such a long time, he must say hello to his superiors.

"You are not just a mother-in-law. There are more than 20 people who call you godmother." Lin Hai said, "To be serious, I think more than 20 is still a bit low. After the tenth day of the first lunar month, Five, you go buy another seventy or eighty, divide them into several classes, and pick those who are good at literacy and arithmetic from the ones you bought last year, and help you and Xiu'e teach them."

"You still want to buy seventy or eighty more?" Zhu Niang was surprised, "How many are enough?"

"That's all. In a few months, I will start to immigrate to Dongfan. You have to take care of the civil affairs there. There will be a lot of things. I can't do it without enough people to help you."

Lin Hai had been consciously building Zhu Niang's knowledge system for a long time, and had told her about future plans as early as Hao Jing, but it was only now that he told her that he wanted her to be in charge of Dongfan's civil affairs.

Zhu Niang was surprised when she heard this: "You want me to be the person in charge of Dongfan Civil Affairs?"

"Didn't I tell you earlier?" Lin Hai said with a smile, "I want to open a mom-and-pop shop with you. I will be the top shopkeeper and you will be the second shopkeeper."

Lin Hai said this once when he first arrived in Haojing, and again after arriving in Xiamen, but Zhu Niang did not expect this. She suddenly became nervous and said: "I'm afraid that if I don't manage it well, you will blame me. "

"You can do it, just keep your true nature as a shrew..."

Lin Hai said and added: "There are so many things involved in civil affairs, and what I'm most afraid of is that my subordinates are sneaking around and playing tricks. If you want to manage them well, you have to be a little bit aggressive, just like the hottie in Dream of Red Mansions."

After Tianzhu Niang arrived in Zhoushan a few days ago, Lin Hai went back home and gave her his watch so that she could continue copying Dream of Red Mansions.

He then added: "Don't worry, I will help you walk in the early stages, and I will let you go when you are basically able to walk steadily."

In fact, Lin Hai had no choice. Most of his energy must be devoted to external affairs such as foreign trade, foreign conquests, and foreign relations.

This determines that he cannot stay in Dongfan all the time, but has to travel back and forth between Dongfan, Daming, Japan, and Nanyang. In this way, Dongfan, the rear area, must have someone who can take charge of the overall situation on his behalf. .

This man is like Xiao He to Liu Bang, Xun Yu to Cao Cao, and Liu Muzhi to Liu Yu.

The importance of this is self-evident, and the power is boundless. Where can Lin Hai have anyone available now? Why doesn't he have a double-crossing companion that he can absolutely trust?
Besides, Zhu Niang was a good candidate because of her kindness and fierceness. Lin Hai discovered these two qualities in her on the first day of time travel.

From the night he lay in the hammock and opened the map, he planned to train Zhu Niang to be his assistant. Of course, at that time, he had not thought of using her to this extent.

This is why he started teaching Zhu Niang how to read from a very early age, even though everything was still unclear at that time.

Now that they both have a baby, there is certainly no one in the world who reassures him more than Zhu Niang. Based on this alone, the civil officials of Dongfan won't give him a second thought.

Sometimes he even thought that compared to the watch in his hand, maybe Zhu Niang was the golden finger given to him by God.Although this golden finger is very rough, he needs to polish it bit by bit, and even build a knowledge system for her from scratch, and it will never reach the level of a time traveler.

In this regard, he could only say to the senior from another dimension: "Director Chen, you are blessed."

"Then... I'll give it a try." Zhu Niang suddenly felt a lot of pressure, and at the same time she was happy that Lin Hai had entrusted such an important matter to her.

She then added: "It's just that the children are only twelve or thirteen years old, aren't they a little too young?"

"Twelve or thirteen years old is not too young. No matter how old you are, you won't be able to raise them well. You forgot that there are five of them, Lun Yi, but I want Tiedan and Zhang Yong here, and I'll give you the other three." .”

Lin Hai continued: "As I told you before, taking the county government of Ming Dynasty as an example, civil affairs in the government offices of Ming Dynasty are mainly divided into the departments of officials, households, etiquette, military, punishment, and industry. But the people who need to use it can actually be divided into two categories, one is the knife, and the other is the pen, which is what people often call the knife and pen official."

"First, Yaozu, Xiu'e, and the children we adopted are the pens you have. As for the knife? I've found it for you too."

After the fifth day of the first lunar month, Lin Hai, Feng Yidao and others began to recruit fishermen, and they recruited more than 200 people in two days.

As a result, in addition to the administrative staff who will be under Zhu Niang's management in the future, Lin Hai already has more than 500 military personnel under his command.

Including more than 700 people in the Zhoushan Battalion and more than 200 people under Feng Yidao. These are all marine personnel. Among them, more than 200 people like Feng Yidao will also be in charge of civil affairs in the future, mainly public security and health-related work.

In addition, there are more than 500 people recently recruited by Zheng Tingqiu, who are responsible for water warfare.This doesn't count the people on Shibi and Miguel's side. Lin Hai doesn't know how many people there are on Haojing's side. Just for the ten old lock boats he wants, there must be at least a thousand sailors and gunners. Of course, this It will take at least half a year for the ten ships to come back.

After returning from Japan, Lin Hai's staff was in the process of rapid expansion and was relatively scattered. He could only let Shi Bi, Miguel, Wu Guoyi, Zheng Tingqiu, and Feng Yidao, the middle and high-level core backbones, manage and lead the team. .

These people have all spent a lot of time doing human affairs or ideological and political work, and of course the forms are diverse.

For example, Shi Bi was his uncle, and Lin Hai showed him abilities far beyond his own. He made him a fortune, gave him a blueprint for the future, and even performed the Tianfei Dafa for him. Apart from Zhu Niang, there was no one more reliable than him, so Lin Hai entrusted him with an important task and 30 taels of silver was directly entrusted to him.

Another example is Miguel, who has the strongest business ability and the most abundant resources in overseas affairs under him. Lin Hai will draw him a pie whenever he gets the opportunity, and let him see that there is a high possibility that this pie can be made. But precisely because he has strong abilities, high morale, and resources, he is also most likely to fly solo. Currently, Lin Hai is still guarding him rather tightly and does not give him substantial power.

The exact opposite of Miguel is Zheng Tingqiu. This old man has a big heart and a fat body. He doesn’t have a high ambition. He has some management experience in leading a team and some business ability in fighting water battles, but he has no resources at all in overseas trade. So after Lin Hai was tested once in Qingdao, he directly let him lead the team.

These three are all veterans who have invested in the company and have their own teams. If nothing unexpected happens, they will all be responsible for a single route in the future.

As for Wu Guoyi and Feng Yidao, both of them were promoted by him. The former is a like-minded person, and the latter has been a person whom he has consciously extended his favor to. They are relatively reliable.

But apart from these few people, he didn't even know most of the middle-level cadres, such as the more than 500 people newly recruited by Zheng Tingqiu. He had no idea what the cadre echelon was like.

This may not be a problem for the time being, but it will be a big problem in the future. This is one of the important reasons why Lin Hai set up a company. He needs a benefit-sharing mechanism to unite these subordinates who are mostly gathered together because of money. good.

When there are few people, management can be managed by people, and people should be given priority to by their relatives, which will result in less internal friction and high efficiency.What kind of management does a small company need? Just focus on business. As long as the business is done well, the personnel will naturally be smoothed out. Any small boss who talks about management every day basically has no future.

But once the number of people increases, it must rely on legal management and appoint people based on merit. There must be fair talent promotion channels and a reasonable benefit-sharing mechanism. This can be used to twist the subordinates into a rope, otherwise sooner or later things will change. A rabble like Li Dan's gang.

Before leaving Zhoushan, Lin Hai called Lu Tiedan over and asked, "Tiedan, how many words do you know now?"

Lu Tiedan replied: "Brother, I already know nearly a thousand characters."

"You're not bragging?" Lin Hai was a little surprised. The last time I asked in Fujian, it was only more than 300. He had been studying for more than half a year. How has he made such rapid progress in just two months?
"Really, if you don't believe me, ask Sister Xiu'e." In fact, Lu Tiedan himself didn't know why. Ever since he found out that Fang Xiu'e and Lun No. [-] had been privately engaged for life, he suddenly learned to read much faster.

In fact, he was not too sad that night. On the contrary, he was a little relieved. From now on, he no longer had to worry about gains and losses in front of Xiu'e. He was ashamed of himself and afraid that she would look down on him. Perhaps deep down in his heart, he had long subconsciously believed that he was Not worthy of Xiu'e.

Of course, Lin Hai didn't know what was going on, but he was very pleased that Tiedan had suddenly improved a lot. Among the five disciples, he was most reassured by Tiedan, but his ability was a bit unsatisfactory. There was nothing arranged for him to do.

Lin Hai said happily: "That's good. I plan to put you in the military camp to practice and fight with my elder brother in the future. What do you think?"

"I listen to my elder brother's arrangements." Lu Tiedan still listened to Lin Hai in everything and didn't have many opinions.

So Lin Hai gave Lu Tiedan to Wu Guoyi and asked him to serve as a personal soldier for the Zhoushan Battalion's Chinese officers. He also privately asked Wu Guoyi to train Lu Tiedan just like Qi Jin had trained him.

By the way, Lin Hai gave Wu Guoyi a few more words: "Although training is a top priority, you should also pay more attention to military personnel. Zhoushan Camp will not always have only one division, and in the future, each division will have more than two bureaus. Now Among the soldiers who are more suitable to be sentry commanders or captains in the future, when I come back, you must first give me a list of key inspections. This is a military order."

Wu Guoyi has business ability, but he has never been in management, so he may not necessarily pay attention to the construction of talent echelon, so Lin Hai specially reminded him.

Sure enough, Wu Guoyi was focused on training and didn't think much about this issue. Hearing this, he hurriedly said: "Yes, I have the order."

"Remember the word "diligence" I mentioned, and you should select the seedlings according to this standard. I will personally examine other aspects."

As a Chinese officer, Wu Guoyi is equivalent to Lin Hai's chief of staff. He must have the right to make suggestions on personnel matters, but Lin Hai must have the final inspection and appointment power in his own hands.

Accompanied by Wu Guoyi, Lin Hai walked around the barracks of Zhoushan Camp and chatted with officers at all levels.

After walking around, I found that I didn't see He Ying, so I asked Wu Guoyi, "Where did Mr. He Bai go?"

Wu Guoyi said: "After today's training, he took leave and said he was going home and would come back early tomorrow morning."

When the Zhoushan Battalion recruits soldiers, priority is given to singles without family members. The few who have family members are not in Zhoushan. Therefore, it is currently a closed management. All officers and soldiers eat and live together in the barracks. Even if they go out at night, they must take leave. of.

Lin Hai nodded and said he understood.

In the Zhoushan Counselor's Mansion, He Rubin was talking to He Ying in the study: "How about Lin Qianhu's military training?"

He Ying heard the words and replied: "The laws are strict and you can practice them well. In short, they are very organized."

He Rubin nodded. He also went to the school grounds of the Zhongzhong Institute to see Lin Hai training. He then said to his nephew: "This Lin Qianhu is really not simple. He not only has the skills to make money, but also trains soldiers well. What's more, Coupled with good interpersonal skills, your future prospects are limitless."

He then added: "In that case, just follow him and work hard first, and see what he can do in the future."

He Ying nodded and said: "Nephews all listen to uncle."

He Rubin was silent for a while, and then suddenly sighed: "It's not easy to do something in this world. Even if Qi Shaobao is resurrected, it will be difficult for him to do anything. After all, there are no people like Mr. Jiangling in the court."
