On the 14th day of the 2nd month of the lunar calendar, Cui Riyong arrived with a large group of officials from the Ministry of Personnel.
He had already told his subordinates that they would be here to recognize the people and receive good gifts.
The Ministry of Personnel wasn't a monolithic entity. Some of the vice ministers were displeased and went to look for the other party, only to be told to 'follow along'.
Everyone understood that as long as they were still breathing, they had to participate in the poetry meet today.
Of course, if they were still breathing, Li Dongzhu might be saved.
At the bridge, they saw King Song.
"After entering, no matter who you see, you have to treat them as strangers. For example, you're not allowed to call me King Song. I'm just an ordinary relative of the royal family.
My Zhuangzi is from the Six Li Manor, and he has a few younger brothers in the manor. Third brother, you are all officials of rank 5 and above. If any of you were to say anything inappropriate, your entire family … "
Li Chengqi threatened. His third brother and sister-in-law were here today, and they were here to read and relax. They would be leaving in the afternoon as there was a royal assembly tomorrow.
The officials from the Ministry of Personnel were stunned. The third brother of the Six Li Manor? King Song, you're the boss, and your third brother is …
Cui Riyong wiped off his sweat. He had long heard that His Majesty had come to Zhuangzi, and today, he could confirm that it wasn't a rumor.
"I'll emphasize this once more. Li Yi doesn't know. If any of you were to do a bad job, my third brother and sister-in-law will be very angry."
Afraid that others would make a mistake, Li Chengqi warned them once more.
"King Song, we understand. Forty-two students, right? We'll definitely remember their names, "an assistant minister replied.
The others nodded their heads with all their might.
"Let's go in. Think carefully before you speak," Li Chengqi added.
Similarly, he didn't want Li Yi to know of his and his third brother's identities. After all, if he were to come here again, Brother Yi might be the one to greet him.
Then, when he spoke, not a single drop of water leaked, and he spoke in a bureaucratic tone.
What's the point of that? Wasn't the purpose of coming to Zhuangzi to look for a place of joy that couldn't be found anywhere else?
Thus, Li Chengqi viewed the officials from the Ministry of Personnel as his enemies.
Sensing the 'killing intent', the officials from the Ministry of Personnel warned themselves that they would rather remain silent than say anything wrong.
King Song wasn't usually like this, but at this moment, he was anxious.
Then they went to the field where the grain was dried, the open field.
Beneath his feet was a large wooden plank. Before he could step on it, a gust of hot air drifted over.
Then, he looked at the wooden platform in the middle. There were many musical instruments placed on the platform, and … a group of 'masters' of Southern Melody?
Many of the children were dressed in academic robes and were helping to arrange things.
Bang! A beautiful green porcelain plate fell onto the wooden plank and broke into pieces.
The child who was distributing the plates was startled. She quickly put the other plates on the small table in front of her and ran to get a broom and a brush.
He swept them up, put them aside, and continued to divide the plates.
"Then the plate was smashed?" An official felt that it was a pity.
"Don't talk too much. The Li Family Zhuangzi is rich. Otherwise, why would he beat the child? Look at the child, he doesn't take it seriously at all. "Another official warned.
Everyone looked over. Sure enough, the little girl still looked so happy.
The other children didn't even spare him a glance, and the adults ignored him as well.
Li Chengqi followed him and looked around. He didn't see Li Yi, but all 42 students were there.
Some of the relatively good-looking 220 students who came later were also there.
He heaved a sigh of relief and turned to look for Li Yi.
When he arrived at Li Yi's courtyard, he heard a voice.
"Brother Yi, your book is good. It's better than the Thirty-six Stratagems. The masters of Southern Melody are there. You don't have to worry about them. "It was Li Longji's voice.
Li Chengqi gave his third brother a thumbs up. What he said was right. The masters of Southern Melody were basic skills to liven up the atmosphere and arouse people's emotions.
Yes, stop Brother Yi and don't get involved.
"I'm afraid that they won't give us face or cause trouble. For example, they will insist on doing something with the beauties of Southern Melody …"
Li Yi was still worried. He wanted to deal with it.
"They won't. Brother Yi, don't worry." Li Chengqi came in and assured him.
"Uncle, may I ask how the Wugong County Kiln was settled?" Empress Wang tried to find a topic.
"The management of the Wugong County Kiln had problems. First, they didn't have a complete plan for the business. Second, they didn't have a good grasp of the external situation.
First, their management philosophy was too backward. Second, they didn't have enough internal incentives. Third, they didn't understand the consumer psychology of the masses. "
Li Yi said these five problems indifferently.
At first, it didn't sound very serious. In fact, this evaluation determined everything.
In other words, they did things in a mess. They didn't even know who they were in contact with. They lost a lot of money. What were they thinking every day? Did they eat rice with such trash? In the future, people won't buy our things. What's the use of having you?
"Yes, yes, yes!" Empress Wang understood and nodded. Wait, what about the solution?
Li Yi continued, "Start by adjusting the organizational structure, improve the middle-level management, strengthen the ideological education of the grass-roots staff, join the audit department, and clean up unnecessary losses from the procurement, production, and sales links.
The most important thing is to introduce foreign capital and add new vitality to the county's ceramic kiln industry.
Make use of the advantages of joint development and create a platform for the county's production and marketing. Rationalize, evolve, and scientifically develop the industry. "
"Uncle, please say something else!" Empress Wang found that she couldn't keep up with the rhythm.
"It's to take care of the higher-ups, warn the middle-level managers, maintain the lower-level managers, and then check the old accounts. I'll take the money in and the kiln will be considered as mine. In the future, listen to me. This way, it's reasonable. "
Li Yi said it embarrassedly. Yes, it's to take care of the people and then reap the benefits.
Empress Wang smiled. She smiled slyly.
Li Longji was in a daze. Li Yi patted Li Yi on the shoulder and said, "Brother Yi, you're awesome. Some things can be said like this."
In other words, what Li Chengqi wanted to say was: Okay, okay, okay.
Li Longji chuckled and reached out to touch Li Yi's head, "Good, Brother Yi. You're even better than those poems in books. It sounds like a mountain of fog, but when it comes to action, you're not careless at all."
At this time, Li Longji felt that he didn't just open a new window, he simply kicked down a wall.
Good, this is the best way to take care of people.
Li Yi endured the risk of losing his hair. At the same time, he also felt that classical Chinese was nothing.
At least, many people could understand classical Chinese, and the meaning was clear.
Let me show you the structure of my administrative language. It's not classical at all, but I can speak it fluently. And the content contained in it …
"Uncle, can you say a few more things? It's very interesting." Empress Wang was less scheming at this time, and she was so lively again.
Li Yi, "…"
He didn't think it was interesting at all.
"The waves run, the waves flow, the river flows for thousands of miles, the river never stops …" At this time, the sound of women singing in unison came from outside.
Other than Li Yi who wanted to cover his ears, the other three were listening very seriously.
After the first time, when the second time came, Li Longji, Empress Wang, and Li Chengqi could actually sing along.
Li Yi was speechless. You have such good memory? I can't even sing so fluently with lyrics.
After the second time, Li Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
"What a good 'washed away all worldly matters, and mixed them into a torrential tide'. Brother Yi, it's just like the one you wrote before the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, right? "Li Chengqi sighed.
Li Longji recited, "The rolling Yangtze River flows to the east, the waves wash away all heroes, right and wrong, success and failure vanish in the blink of an eye, the green hills are still there, and the sunset is still red."
Li Yi didn't want to say anything. He couldn't figure out whether the ancient people he met were all so powerful, or he just happened to meet such powerful people.
Because the students were all not bad. They memorized things quickly, and they were also good at music and painting.
