Wengonggong was shocked. One of the reasons was that the four words'shit to the stove' were almost a slap in the face of your majesty, and they were madly unable to look directly at them.
The second is that there are only six of the sixteen people, which can be said to be unreasonable.
"This... I'm afraid it's wrong? Master Lu, why don't you think about it anymore?"
He looked at Lu Yu's eyes, slightly worried, and the other sixteen people were even more angry and helpless. He felt that this under-ten-year-old baby really likes nonsense. Of course, they are also nervous.
Gong Gong likes Lu Yu very much, because His Majesty likes it.
So although it is inconvenient to say clearly, Wengonggong still wants to help Lu Yu.
Why help? Because today’s incident was originally a test for your majesty.
What are the most important abilities of a person? There are three points, the first point is wisdom and ability. The second point is courage. The third point is the ability to employ people.
Just as Lu Yu said'medicine', a person's ability is limited after all, so it needs to be done with the help of others.
This is especially true for officials, saying that they are in charge of affairs, but the most important thing is to manage people.
There is a saying called'Han Xin points out more soldiers, the more the better', which is a highly praised compliment. Some people can only manage themselves throughout their lives, while most people can't even manage themselves. Further up, some people can manage five people, the army leader is the corps, and the political circle is the official. After training or talent, some people can manage a hundred people, and then there will be a hundred leaders and officials. But there are not many people in charge of ten thousand people, and they need to be decentralized at different levels. Take the army as an example. The generals are in charge of ten thousand-person captains, each of which is in charge of ten hundred-person captains... Tower structure.
Therefore, it is the manager's ability to maintain a layered tower and make it stable and not chaotic. The better the manager, the taller and stronger the tower can be built. And that Han Xin can almost manage to about ten floors, and he can control millions of people. That's why there is a saying that the more the better.
But... there are exceptions, very special exceptions. They are not towers, but they can still manage thousands of people. They are peerless talents.
Of course, whether such people are idiots or geniuses is not so well judged.
His Majesty gave Lu Yu sixteen people, which was a kind of test. He wanted to see how many levels Lu Yu divided them into, and how many people there would be at each level. If it is an incompetent person, only one excellent person is often selected from among them, and using him to manage the rest is the easiest one-to-one management method. If he has the ability, if he can be divided into two to three floors, with four to five people on each floor, then Lu Yu is a very good talent.
But if Lu Yu hadn't been divided into levels and managed all in a balanced way, even if he could take care of everyone, he would not be a great talent. He could only be said to be a geek, and could not bear much use.
Management, such as building high towers.
This is your majesty's assessment.
As soon as Lu Yu came up, he had to turn 16 people into six. This... is unreasonable and naturally does not meet the requirements of your Majesty's assessment.
So Wen Gonggong asked Lu Yu to think about it again, which was to let him dispel this idea.
But Lu Yu smiled softly and said, "Consider? I have considered it, and I have considered it very clearly. I don't need to think about it anymore. There are six people."
The corner of Wen Gonggong's eyes twitched, and he sighed secretly:'Is it really a mud that can't be supported? Only talking and clever, but no real talent? '
He sighed, and then asked, "The miscellaneous family dare to ask Master Lu, the choice of these six people... Can you care about it?"
Lu Yu nodded and said, "Well, I have already chosen."
"Can you tell the miscellaneous family, on what basis?"
Lu Yu laughed and said, "I shouldn't have told you about this, nor should I let them know about it, but since my father-in-law asked..."
He walked up to an official of the Ministry of Industry, looked down at his palm, and said: "Selecting talents is nothing more than two ways of talent and virtue. Talent is ability, and virtue is loyalty. If I were the county magistrate, Zaifu Naturally, loyalty is preferred. I don’t need them to have much ability, as long as they don’t rebel. Anyway, the wheels of the country are only driven by the people spontaneously, with or without, just for stability. But I am an official of the Ministry of Industry."
He pointed to the palm of his hand and said: "For example, this one, there are strange-shaped calluses on the palm, which are only left after frequent contact with hammers and other tools. Strong and shiny, with thick joints and uneven nails. This proves that he is very hard at forging a picture. No matter how talented he is, he can train a good hand in tens of thousands of hours. He is qualified in terms of talent."
The man was taken aback for a moment, then was shocked, and subconsciously retracted his hands into his sleeves. He really couldn't believe that someone could know what he was doing by just looking at his hands, and he was filled with them. how long.
While surprised, he was also a little touched, at least... Someone could know his own hard work after all, and countless hardworking nights and nights seemed to have been paid, and he felt so happy in his heart, even the corners of his eyes were a little bit sour and moist.
Lu Yu walked to the other person again, looking at the other person's hand, and said loudly: "People of Jade Craftsman's Green, always apply a layer of wax on their hands before work. Over time, their palms will become very smooth and soft, but small. The carving of the place is the most bone-breaking. His knuckles are uneven, especially a light yellow color, which is obviously caused by the perennial bloodline. Whenever it rains on a cloudy day, it will even make a dull pain and swell unbearably. And this situation It only takes about ten days to recover, but at this time his hands are still the same. Obviously he is also a hardworking person, especially the tenacity in his heart, and he is the best choice."
The person he described originally looked at him with contempt and disdain, but after hearing this, his face changed, and the look at Lu Yu became more suspicious and solemn. Slowly rubbing his hands, there was even more enthusiasm in his eyes, thinking that this'little lord' must have won this way, and said that he would not have to communicate more in the future.
Lu Yu just said this one by one. Some people do have great talents, some are better at diligence, but some... It's quite unbearable for sneaking and skiing.
Walking along the way, describing it all the way, Lu Yu finally returned to Weng Gonggong, grinned, and said: "So I said I have considered it, so I only have six of these sixteen."
Wengonggong was stunned.
He has never seen anyone in such a short period of time, just by observing a person who has never been in his life, and knowing so deeply, this is simply... a magical skill!
All the previous worries disappeared immediately, and he smiled gently and said to Lu Yu: "Since Master Lu has such insight, the miscellaneous family won't talk any more, then... six people, are those who?"
Following Lu Yu's'description', Gong Gong noticed that six of the sixteen were the most talented and most diligent. They were indeed extremely good in the Ministry of Engineering. Only because of their character problems, they did not return home for a long time. Now they are favored by Lu Yu. , It's their good fortune, it's all suffering. At least... Lu Yu understands them.
The six people caught Wen Gonggong's gaze, and their waists inevitably straightened a little bit, a little excited, and some expectation.
"Well, I have selected six people, they are them."
Then, as Lu Yu pointed out, six guys who could not believe him walked out of the queue until they stood in front of Lu Yu and felt Lu Yu's cordial gaze, they still didn't believe it.
And Wengonggong was also completely stunned, and the rest of them almost dropped their jaws in shock.
It's all because... Obviously Lu Yu saw it very clearly and spoke very clearly, but... he didn't choose the talented and diligent ones at all. Instead, he chose the six who are the most incompetent and the most flattering, and bend from beginning to end. The guy who lowered his knee to Lu Yu and smiled disgustingly!
"Lu... Master Lu," Wengonggong smiled, only reluctantly, and he said with a slight embarrassment: "Aren't you kidding me? Are you having fun at a joke?"
The corner of Lu Yu's mouth curled slightly, and at last he laughed three times, holding his hands on his back, standing proudly in front of the world... Although he was the shortest here, everyone was shocked by his sudden aura and illusion. He seemed to be the tallest person.
"Loyal? That is what your Majesty needs to consider. Ability? That is what the Ministry of Industry needs to consider. As for me? My choice is very simple, two words are enough, that is'obedience'! I don't care if they are incompetent or insignificant. , And it doesn’t matter if they’re a honey-suckling sword, and even if they’re just digging into despicable trails... but they’re absolutely obedient enough! Compared to those guys who are so proud as long as I hold a few words, they start to know the heights of the sky and the earth, relative to those who have high hands. The guys who have higher eyes and still need me to coax them, compared to those who are proud of themselves and always put the dignity of character on their lips... I prefer these incompetent, despicable, thick-skinned, and obedient guys. What's wrong?! "
