The next morning.
All eight people arrived at Prince Shu's Mansion. The front yard had been vacated and became a temporary office space for the club.
Si Huaijin found the King of Shu and told him about Li Tai, King of Yue, poaching Li Ke last night.
He also complained that King Li Tai of Yue looked down on the eight of them, and even arrogantly told them that their annual salary would be ten thousand yuan!
"puff……"
Li Ke's mouthwash almost sprayed Si Huaijin's face, making him weak from laughing.
"Fourth brother, fourth brother wants to poach this king, don't you even ask for information? Hahaha..."
Li Tai gave so little, yet he dared to poach the talents he had worked so hard to find.
Is that something you can dig out if you want?
Damn it, I will give these eight people a monthly salary of ten guan, one hundred and twenty guan a year. This is the basic salary, and there is also a year-end bonus!
The year-end bonus is the big one, one thousand guan per person, and more if the performance is outstanding.
How about you give me ten thousand dollars a year?
He also acted like an uncle.
Are your ten coins made of gold?
"Your Highness, I have an immature idea and I don't know whether to say it or not?"
Last night, Si Huaijin held his oiran wife in his arms and thought for half the night about how to deal with the Yue King's talent poaching.
It's just that the King of Shu and the King of Yue are brothers after all, and he is afraid that speaking out will make it difficult for the King of Shu.
Li Ke put down the cup and said calmly while washing up: "There are just two of us here. Say what you want. Don't hide it. If you are immature, you won't tell me."
Si Huaijin cupped his hands and said, "Since the King of Yue wants His Highness's talents, why don't we use our plan to give the King of Yue a self-righteous fool?"
Bang bang bang...
Li Ke suddenly clapped his hands and applauded. He had really good taste. Si Huaijin really had the shadow of "Zhou Lang of Soochow".
This coincides with his thoughts.
However, it's not okay to send a fool over. Fourth brother Li Tai is not a fool.
If you send a fool over, he will soon find out that it is a useless effort.
No matter what, we have to give him an "outstanding talent" who has both political integrity and ability, and is good at talking on paper.
"I am indeed right about you. You are worthy of the nickname 'Soochow Zhou Lang'."
"I know about this, but you can't reveal it to anyone, remember?"
“Heaven knows this and earth knows it, the King of Shu knows it, but his subordinates don’t know it!”
Si Huaijin bowed, feeling overjoyed. He knew that the King of Shu had accepted his suggestion.
However, it depends on how King Shu operates.
If this matter is done well, the King of Yue will not capsize in the gutter. He, Si Huaijin, is willing to withdraw from the Shu Palace, wash his hands in the golden basin, and retire from the world.
After Si Huaijin left, Li Ke sat in front of the desk, drinking rice soup, but his mind was spinning rapidly.
These eight people are all great talents, and he will never let them go, so he can only look for them again.
"Old pig, old pig, come in..."
Hai Zhu agreed from outside, took small steps, and soon came to Li Ke with a flattering smile on his face.
"Young Master, what are your orders?"
At this moment, Hai Zhu has performed the dog legs to the fullest.
"You ask Si She to help me find someone. It is best to be a hermit living in seclusion near Chang'an. The kind who is proud of his talent and has a very famous reputation. The kind who has little practical ability and can only talk on paper..."
This really stumped Hai Zhu. There were many two-legged people, but the three-legged toad was hard to find.
However, he is just a microphone.
The one who is in trouble should be Si She. Why are you so worried?
"Okay, my subordinate will go and send the message."
Then, Li Ke ordered: "After you find it, don't scare the snake. I will personally go to the thatched cottage three times."
Hai Zhu was confused, what is the young master going to do?
Then those "talented" people still need to visit the thatched cottage?
Damn it, uncle, isn't a person like him worthy of being in a thatched cottage?
After Hai Zhu left, Li Ke stretched and came to the yard. The sun was shining outside, and it was a really good weather. biquge.biz
Like a landowner, he walked to the backyard with his hands behind his back.
Under the pergola in the backyard, green smoke was rising from fifteen stoves, and fifteen cooks were vigorously swinging the iron pots in their hands. The cooking was tumbling in the iron pots, and soon a burst of fragrance spread.
They followed the recipes and practiced their cooking skills over and over again.
However, except for the more than 100 people who ate these stir-fried dishes in Prince Shu's palace, Ma Qiu requested that the rest be sent to various restaurants in Chang'an City for guests to taste for free.
This is equivalent to a promotion. If the news is revealed on the day the club opens, it will attract a large number of foodies.
After the chefs finish frying a dish, they taste each other, point out each other's shortcomings, and then start frying the next dish.
Li Ke nodded with satisfaction. With this kind of learning atmosphere, within a month, they would be able to fully master the true meaning of cooking.
After all, these fifteen people are carefully selected cooks.
He came to the front yard again. Si Huaijin was making detailed plans. There were five subordinates around him. They were discussing, modifying the plans, and formulating the club's operating mechanism.
In another room, there was also a group of people standing next to Ma Qiu. These people were Ma Qiu's team. He was training the group of people in front of him according to the training manual.
Next, he has a heavy task.
He needs to recruit more talented people and distribute them to various departments. He also needs to promote the club and establish a high-level image of the club.
When I walked past here, I saw Wang Yi. The old man was lying on the rocking chair, his eyes half-squinted in enjoyment, and he was talking endlessly about how to be a qualified accountant.
Everything is on track, and the construction project of the manor will begin next.
At this time, Fu An came in through the gate with a cane, followed by a group of people.
However, these people are a little older, all around forty years old, and some are even gray-haired.
Fu An seemed a little panicked when he saw Li Ke, but he still limped to Li Ke's side.
"Young Master, there is only one person in our security department who has recruited a group of people."
"Young master, you see, they are all good players!"
Li Ke didn't know whether to laugh or cry. You recruited a group of old, weak, sick and disabled people for me, and you said they were all good players?
"Fu An, can you recruit a group of people who can fight? After all, the forest is big and there are everyone, and there are many who want to eat the King's meal..."
"Drink, retreat, retreat, retreat..."
An old man heard that the King of Shu looked down on them, so he immediately took a broom and waved it.
Li Ke: "..."
Li Ke was stunned.
Good guy, I didn't expect that these old men were very skilled in martial arts. He thought that in front of this broom, he could only run away.
Immediately afterwards, others began to wave their fists, punching so powerfully that they could create punches.
After they performed a performance, seeing that King Shu didn't speak, they started fighting each other again.
The gray-haired old men were beaten and howled in front of the King of Shu, even more ruthlessly than the active soldiers.
"Fu An, where did you recruit them?" Li Ke asked doubtfully. These people were obviously not old farmers.
"Your Highness, if you don't like them, I will ask them to go back, and I will find another young man."
"I ask you, where did you find this group of people?"
Fu An quickly bowed and glanced at the panicked and disappointed old men.
After all, he gritted his teeth and said: "They are the people who retired from the Jinwu Guard. They have killed people all their lives. After they retire, they know nothing. They stay at home and have no source of income..."
"Young Master, they used to be my old comrades-in-arms. I am using power for personal gain. I am wrong... I will send them back now."
Li Ke nodded. He turned out to be a retired member of the Jinwu Guard.
He couldn't help but sigh. These people dedicated their youth to the country, but in the end they couldn't survive.
This is a tragedy for the country!
Li Ke comes from later generations, and soldiers are the people he admires most. Without the dedication of veterans like them, the Tang Dynasty would not be as prosperous as it is now.
"You're doing a good job and they can stay."
"But you shouldn't use your power for personal gain. Recruiting people is Ma Qiu's business, not yours. Go get two whips."
When Fu An heard this, he was overjoyed, and the corners of his eyes were wet with joy.
"Young Master, thank you!"
Li Ke looked at the appearance of these veterans and suddenly felt his eyes were a little sore. He bowed and said: "You have dedicated your youth to the Tang Dynasty, and even your comrades have lost their most precious lives. Now you are old and helpless." …”
"To be disrespectful, it's the country that has failed you, and it's my father who has failed you!"
"As the prince of the Tang Dynasty, no matter what you can do for me, I should give you a bite to eat."
"From now on, you will follow Fu An and work for me. I will not treat you badly again."
The group of veterans in front of them burst into tears when they heard what King Shu said.
They didn't expect that the prince would salute them and thank them for these useless veterans.
They all knelt on the ground and burst into gratitude.
"Thank you, King Shu, for taking me in. We will definitely repay your kindness with death!"
"The King of Shu is such a good man!"
"King of Shu, you are our savior. We are willing to go up the mountain of swords and the sea of fire for the king of Shu..."
Li Ke quickly helped these people up and asked Fu An to lead them to Ma Qiu to report.
Nothing works without rules. Now that the rules have been set, the normal procedures still have to be followed.
"Oh! Did King Shu find a treasure today?"
"Pfft, a bunch of old darlings!"
