Ma Qiu glanced at the King of Shu and couldn't help but admire the King of Shu from the bottom of his heart. The King of Shu was definitely a man of great talent.
Selling a comb to a monk?
This seems impossible, but it can divide people into three, six or nine grades, and it can also test a person's mind and ability.
What this sells is not just a comb, but a test of one's thinking ability, flexibility, and methods, and what it sells is knowledge.
As the saying goes: There is no need for knowledge in business, and understanding of human relations is the essence of writing.
He was even more convinced that this King of Shu was not simple. If he followed the King of Shu, he would definitely be able to live a lifetime of glory and have a better future than being an official.
Some of these twenty people withdrew when they were receiving the comb, secretly cursing King Shu that he was deliberately making things difficult for them instead of sincerely hiring them to do things.
Selling a comb to a monk is absolutely impossible.
However, there are still some people who bravely go to major temples with combs on their backs to find monks to sell combs.
Ma Qiu took the comb and accompanied him to monitor him, and went out laughing.
After going out, he sold his most precious books, pens, inks, papers and inkstones at the gate of King Shu.
Afterwards, he took his companion to a restaurant, treated him to a big meal, and then went to the smallest temple in Chang'an City with his comb on his back.
He knew that with his connections and speed, he would definitely not be able to go to a big temple, and his competitors would definitely look down on small temples.
Small temples have better chances.
After lunch, the servants, waiters, maids and cooks were also selected, a total of five hundred people.
Li Ke began to examine these candidates.
The servant naturally needs to be strong in martial arts, able to wield a sword and a stick, preferably with a ferocious appearance, and must be brave and determined to protect his master.
The assistants are naturally looking for handsome, understanding and hard-working people.
As for the maids, receptionists and receptionists, they naturally need to be women who are good-looking, well-spoken and have no evil intentions.
As for the chef, it requires a certain amount of cooking experience and someone who is innovative. As for appearance, that is not within the scope of the examination.
at the same time.
The Prince of the East Palace, Li Chengqian, was not idle today either. He entertained several guests.
There are uncle Changsun Wuji and his son Changsun Chong.
There was Fang Xuanling and his son Fang Yiai.
There are also Du He, son of Du Ruhui, Cheng Chumo, son of Chen Yaojin, Yuchi Baolin, son of Yuchi Gong, Qin Huaidao, son of Qin Qiong...
And the most important person today is Li Tai, King of Yue.
In short, most of the sons of civil servants and military generals were present.
Among them, Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling are naturally the finale.
But these two people are both human beings. Have you guessed what the prince wants you to do at the banquet?
Before the banquet started, they left with an excuse, saying that there was something else going on in the court, so that His Highness could have a good exchange with his peers.
Li Chengqian watched the two people leave. He originally didn't want to invite these two big guys, just to calm him down and make his peers recognize him more.
Especially after being a military commander, these people respected him very much in person, but secretly they looked down on him as the prince.
However, Changsun Chong, Fang Yiai, and Du He were his best friends and were very loyal to him.
"Everyone, the Prince of Japan invites you here today just to catch up on old times. We haven't had a drink together for a long time."
Li Tai stood up with a smile and asked, "Brother, why don't you call me Third Brother?" M.biQuge.biZ
Li Chengqian glanced at Li Tai and said calmly: "I heard that my third brother is recruiting troops and preparing for a big fight."
"Today, he is selecting talents in the Shu Palace! How could he come to this prince?"
Others did not know the actions of the King of Shu, but they knew that the King of Shu had stolen a lot of money from their homes, which made them feel very uncomfortable, but they could not do anything against the King of Shu.
Fang Yiai stood aside. He still couldn't sit down and his butt was not healed yet, but his spirit was normal.
He would never miss an opportunity to add insult to injury to the King of Shu. Others could not imagine the shame that the King of Shu left him.
"Prince, this King of Shu is too disrespectful to you. You didn't even invite him. Are you planning to rebel?"
Du He also stood up and said: "Prince, the King of Shu stole 10,000 guan from the minister's house yesterday. You have to make the decision for us."
Du He's words caused a stir, and everyone started complaining.
The King of Shu was too unreasonable. He said he was here to borrow money, but he was here to threaten them, using their weaknesses to threaten them.
Li Tai frowned. He had been studying in the palace, and he really didn't know that the third brother had made such a big move.
Previously, he was moved when he heard that his third brother cheated his uncle Changsun of 1.2 million yuan.
I was ready to take advantage of it, but I didn't expect that the money would be taken away by my father in the blink of an eye, and he would cease in an instant.
I didn't expect that the third brother had hit a wall and didn't look back, and went to cheat money again. However, sooner or later, he would overturn and be tricked to death.
I really thought that everyone's money was picked up. As a prince, the most taboo thing is to offend ministers and nobles.
People always have an unlucky day, and when that happens, they will all fall into trouble and push down the wall!
But it was better this way, quietly watching the eldest brother and third brother fight.
Finally, just be the fisherman yourself.
"Fourth brother, why don't you go and persuade the third brother not to let him mess around and return everyone's money. That money is for everyone's survival. The third brother is too willful."
Li Chengqian immediately threw the problem to his fourth brother Li Tai.
Everyone looked at Li Tai, asking Li Tai to ask for the money. If he could ask for it, they would rather share it with the Yue King Li Tai than give it to that bastard Li Ke.
Li Tai picked up the wine glass in front of him, drank it down in one gulp, and said, "You guys praise me too much. I just want to read and write quietly in the palace. As for the matter between you and the third brother, I am not good at it." Intervene, after all, the King of Shu is my third brother..."
Everyone was disappointed and looked at Li Chengqian again.
Cheng Chumo cupped his hands and said, "The prince should go and persuade the King of Shu. After all, the prince is the eldest brother, and his brother is like his father. He should be able to listen to what the prince says."
When it comes to his own interests, even Changsun Chong said: "Prince, why don't you go and persuade..."
Li Chengqian: "..."
Sun Cheng saw that his master was in trouble, so he stood up and said with a smile: "My lords, it is really inappropriate for the prince to come forward in this matter. Everyone knows the character of the King of Shu. Once the prince persuades him too much, the King of Shu will definitely fall out."
"This is not good for the prince..."
"Young masters, do you want to trap the prince into being unkind and unjust?"
Everyone: "..."
At this time, Fang Yiai stood up: "You might as well listen to me, I accidentally learned a big secret of King Shu's money making."
"He created his own kind of underwear for women. It is said that the design is exquisite and very popular with women, but the King of Shu has not yet produced it in large quantities..."
"It is said that women and children earn the most money..."
"If we raise funds, build a workshop, and open a few sales shops in Chang'an City, as long as we publicize it well, we will definitely make a lot of money."
"If one person does this alone, the King of Shu will definitely go crazy, but if we do it together, the King of Shu will just stare!"
Li Chengqian's eyes suddenly lit up. Is there such a thing?
He immediately thought of Li Ke raising funds, recruiting various talents, and also asking the Ministry of Industry to send craftsmen to build houses. Could it be that the third brother wanted to start this business?
Hahaha……
If this is really the case, we might as well wait and get it out in advance. Just because King Shu wants to make money, I will pay him to death.
At this time, the eunuch sent by Li Chengqian to inquire about the situation with King Shu also returned.
He told the prince everything that happened today. After hearing this, the prince burst into laughter.
"Everyone, Third Brother is recruiting workers today. It is said that he has hired twenty capable people, but he has a problem. He wants these people to sell combs to monks..."
"Hahaha, third brother is really good at playing!"
"Selling combs to monks?"
"Damn it, isn't this sick?"
"The King of Shu is so weird!"
But Li Tai frowned and sold the comb to the monk?
After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't figure it out. What was the reason for King Shu to do this?
But after a moment, he suddenly felt enlightened.
There is a big reason behind selling combs to monks. This is a test of these people's abilities!
It seems that this third brother is indeed not simple.
Compared to the eldest brother, the third brother is the strongest opponent.
All these years, he didn't even notice it!
The third brother is really deep and can hide everything!
The people present, except Li Tai, Qin Huaidao and Du He also frowned and thought. They also figured out, what did the King of Shu want to do?
As the prince's dog-headed military advisor, Sun Cheng was certainly not in vain. He also saw the intention behind selling the comb to the monk.
He whispered: "Prince, this move of King Shu is really powerful and should not be underestimated. There is a profound meaning behind this matter!"
"If someone can complete his task, he must be a person with great talent! He will definitely have a bright future in the future."
Li Chengqian was stunned, with a dark face, thinking carefully.
He was just thinking about laughing at the King of Shu, but he didn't think about the deep meaning behind selling the comb to the monk.
Thinking about it carefully, cold sweat broke out on my forehead.
"Third brother, you should not be underestimated. You can actually think of such a way to select talents!"
Li Chengqian clenched his fists and became nervous again. He must not let his third brother bring these talents under his command.
In this way, the third brother will be even more powerful and even more difficult to deal with.
"Mr. Sun, is there any way to help third brother recruit talents?"
Sun Cheng's eyes began to roll, he raised his right hand and began to touch the mole on his chin. He frowned for a while, then smiled, but remained silent for a long time.
Everyone also thought of a way.
But more importantly, I was thinking, if it were him, how would he sell the comb to the monk?
