The one who was most surprised by the identity of this "trouble maker" among those present was not Tang Xi, but the big man who had been punched by Lu Yao just now.
Although he is now a craftsman, before that, he worked as a bodyguard, which is how he got to know Tangxi. Later, he got tired of the life of fighting and killing, and after arriving in Bianliang City, he began to think about craft work.
Strange to say, he who had always been obsessed with martial arts was actually very good at being a construction craftsman, and soon he gained a certain reputation in Bianliang City.
He can be found in decorations as small as ordinary people's homes or as large as the decorations in the homes of some wealthy gentry.
However, to say that he has become the leading builder in the capital because of this would be a bit too flattering. As we all know, our country has always been about personal relationships, that is, a human society. When working as a bodyguard,
This big man had helped Tangxi when he was young, and when Lu Yao told Tangxi that he wanted him to find some famous craftsmen in Bianliang City, Tangxi naturally did not forget to promote this long-time friend of his.
The big man is naturally very grateful to Tangxi for giving him this opportunity. In fact, before, the big man looked down on Tangxi. A bodyguard later became a refugee. He might as well do some craftsmanship himself. But who can
Thinking that by chance, Tangxi actually met Lu Yao, and later took his brothers to work as Lu Yao's personal bodyguards and officials. It is not an exaggeration to say that the status of the two people has reversed.
Tangxi had rarely heard of Lu Yao. Firstly, he did not have enough money to support himself to go to Fanlou to spend money. Secondly, he did not like reading books and newspapers, so he had no idea about Lu Yao's paper mill and printing technology and even the "Stone" he wrote.
Not even interested.
However, Lu Yao's ironworks, cement plants, and lottery industry made the big man look at his financial backer in a different light. Speaking of which, the big man even won the second prize once when he bought lottery tickets. When he heard from Tang Xi
When he learned that his financial backer turned out to be this Lu Yao, he felt that his opportunity had come. Maybe by building this bank for Lu Yao, he could also enter the Lu Mansion and listen to the craftsmen around him.
It is said that this Lu Yao is a dealer of Kuozhuo, and he is a rich man who suddenly appeared. Recently, he can be said to be a big owner in Bianliang City. Some people even said that they once saw a convoy of horse-drawn carriages going to the Lu Mansion one by one.
To send money, one can imagine that Lu Yao must be a very wealthy person.
If this job is completed well, I should be able to stand out as a craftsman in the future, at least as good as Tangxi. Tangxi also saw the big man's utilitarianism and let him join.
Now that he is in the construction team this time, otherwise, given Dahan's current reputation, he can be said to be the most powerful person in this team.
Tangxi gave Da Han a chance, and he and Lu Yao found Zhe Kexing and asked him to participate in military training. In fact, it was all out of help for his friends.
In the big man's mind, Lu Yao's image has been basically defined. He has a fat belly, a cold face, and is very scheming. He should be a middle-aged man, about thirty-five years old.
Therefore, when this unattractive and skinny man appeared in front of him, all the workers present, including the big man, thought he was here to cause trouble.
In this case, isn't it reasonable to deal with this person by yourself?
However, people should not be judged by their appearance. The big man thought he could easily defeat this guy, but to his surprise, although this guy looked thin, he easily dodged his attack and punched him in the abdomen with his backhand.
In the eyes of others, the punch the troublemaker punched the big man in the stomach was not that strong. They even felt that the big man was thrown away and screamed while holding his stomach, which was a bit too weak.
That's because they were not involved and had no idea of the power of Lu Yao's punch. Although it seemed to outsiders that he didn't exert much power, Lu Yao was born with supernatural power. Only those who could withstand the power of this punch could
Only people can understand this. After the big man was hit by this punch, he felt that all the food he had eaten in the morning and lunch would be vomited out with the overwhelming pain in his abdomen.
Moreover, he actually saw a smile on the troublemaker's face when he punched him with his fist.
That way clearly meant that he had given up.
The big man never thought that such a thin person's punch could be stronger than the punch he punched when he was an escort.
What happened next made the big man even more shocked. Tangxi arrived at the scene and told everyone that the man who just punched the big man turned out to be the financial backer of this group of people, Lu Yao.
Although everyone was surprised, they quickly came over and bowed to Lu Yao. Lu Yao also said that he came over without saying hello today, which caused a misunderstanding, so don't mind it.
The one with the most mixed feelings in his heart at the moment should be the big man, because he almost hit Lu Yao just now, no, it should be said that he has already shot Lu Yao.
The craftsmen present gradually began to rejoice in the misfortune. In their opinion, this big man was finished now and should at least be eliminated from the craftsman team.
On Lu Yao's side, after introducing himself, he looked at the big man standing there clutching his stomach and saying, "What's your name?"
When the big man heard this, he quickly replied: "I'm here, Zhang Mou."
Lu Yao turned around and looked at Tangxi. Seeing the complicated look in Tangxi's eyes at Zhang Mou, he said, "Your friend?"
There were beads of sweat on Tang Xi's forehead, but he was a straight-tempered person and said, "Yes. I was a strong bodyguard when I was an escort, and he saved my life."
"I see." Lu Yao said as he walked towards the big man. Then, he squeezed the big man's shoulder and said, "Well, he is indeed a practitioner, but you are
How is the craftsman's work? The craftsman and the bodyguard are as separated as mountains."
Zhang Mou was also unambiguous and said: "Master Lu, although I am a bodyguard, I have been working as a craftsman since arriving in Bianliang City. Although my craftsmanship is not as good as everyone present, it is still passable."
Lu Yao nodded and said, "Well, I like honest people."
Then he looked at Tang Xi again and said, "If I give you a chance to be my personal guard, would you be willing?"
Everyone was a little surprised. This financial owner was indeed no ordinary person. According to ordinary people, if he dared to attack him just now, he would have been cleared out long ago.
The reason why Lu Yao said this was because he took a fancy to Zhang Mou's physique. Although he had spared his punch just now, he still used 80% of his strength because he didn't know how strong this big man was. He had to use one punch to solve the problem.
, at least let the big man have no chance to fight back. Unexpectedly, although the big man was knocked away, judging from his current situation, after receiving such a powerful punch from himself, he seemed to have a slight stomachache.
There are no other problems, which shows that this person has a very strong physique and can compete with Tangxi.
Although Tang Xi is now regarded as the head of Lu Yao's bodyguards, he has gradually turned into a role similar to that of a housekeeper. There are many things he has to do every day. Sometimes there are times when Lu Yao has no one around him, and his subordinates
All over the city, in the Lottery Station, Printing Factory and Restaurant, there are brothers under Tang Xi who are protecting them. This is why until now, there is rarely any news of trouble happening in these places under Lu Yao. So, for a while,
There was no one around Lu Yao who was specifically responsible for his own safety, so he turned to Zhang Mou. He and Tangxi seemed to have a very good relationship. From now on, Zhang Mou would be responsible for his personal safety, and Tangxi would be responsible for helping him handle the industrial aspects.
Things are perfect, aren't they?
Lu Yao was thinking this when he heard Zhang Mou's loud voice.
"Thank you Mr. Lu for your love, but I can't accept it now."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present, including Lu Yao and Tang Xi, were stunned.
What a great opportunity this is. For someone like Zhang Mou, there is no problem in reaching the sky in one step, but he actually refused?
Lu Yao was also a little confused and said, "Why?"
Zhang Mou continued: "I have never done anything meritorious for Mr. Lu, so I dare not take on this important responsibility. At least, I will wait until I help Mr. Lu establish this bank. If Mr. Lu is satisfied by then, I will do it again."
Invitation, something will definitely work."
Zhang Mou's speech is really a model for the workplace. It not only improves his own image, but also gives Lu Yao a higher level. It means that it is not that the conditions given by Lu Yao are not good enough, but that Zhang Mou has nothing to offer now.
Show your hand to be worthy of Lu Yao's invitation.
Although Lu Yao is used to seeing these things in the workplace in modern times, it is inevitable that he will not be moved when he hears Zhang Mou say this.
Tang Xi also came up from the side and said to Lu Yao: "Master, Zhang Mou is an honest man. Since he said so, we might as well respect his choice and let him serve you after the bank is established.
, at that time, I can also convince the public."
Tang Xi's words indeed made sense, so Lu Yao smiled and said, "Okay, since you said so, then I will help you. When the bank is built, that's when you come to my Lu Mansion to report."
Zhang Mou bowed deeply to Lu Yao and said, "I obey."
The misunderstanding passed just like that, and Lu Yao continued to walk around the bank. After all, it was just the beginning of the project, and he couldn't see much. However, the architectural style and construction process were different from modern cement-based houses.
The place was indeed very different, but Lu Yao was not a construction major after all. After walking around for a few times, he took Tangxi away.
As the two of them walked on the road, Tang Xi felt uneasy. After all, Zhang Mou was not the top craftsman in the city. If Lu Yao knew that he had pulled Zhang Mou into the team based on their relationship.
Yes, you might blame yourself.
Instead of doing this, it is better to admit your mistakes yourself.
Tangxi looked at Lu Yao and said, "Master, I..."
Lu Yao turned around, waved his hand and said: "I know what you want to say. Your mentality is the same as when I called Zhe Kexing. Both of them were born in poverty, so naturally you want to help him.
What's more, he seems to be really good at craftsmanship."
Tangxi was relieved when he heard what Lu Yao said. However, the next second, Lu Yao's expression began to become a little cold and he continued: "But you must also know that there are so many factories below me. In the future,
There will be more and more places to develop and places to employ people. You are the person around me, you can be said to be my confidant. There should be no secrets between us, do you know?"
Speaking of which, this was the first time Tang Xi had seen such a serious Lu Yao, and it was a bit scary. Even he, a former bodyguard, could feel the aura exuding from Lu Yao.
"I understand, young master." Tangxi said quickly.
"I don't want this to happen again. After all, in the eyes of outsiders, you are the most capable subordinate around me. If you hide things from me, then who can I trust?" After saying this, Lu Yao
His face returned to its previous look.
This communication can be said to scare Tang Xi out of his wits, but for Lu Yao, this is a normal thing. In the modern workplace, with both strength and softness, how to deal with the relationship with his subordinates, he is becoming
After becoming a manager, I still have some experience.
His conversation today seemed like a heart-to-heart talk with Tang Xi, but it was actually a conversation of intimidation. Tang Xi should never behave like this again from today on.
"Master, where are we going next?" Both of them were silent for a moment, and Tang Xi asked tentatively.
Lu Yao said here: "Go home, just in time you can tell me the reaction of the three people after delivering the things to Kaifeng Mansion today."
The two returned to the Lu Mansion together. Lu Xu and Yan looked a little nervous. How did they know that the person who caused trouble in the bank was Lu Yao. But now that Tang Xi and Lu Yao have returned, they look relaxed, thinking that they have probably solved it.
question, so I didn’t ask any more questions.
Of course, Lu Yao did not make it public that Tang Xi secretly recruited Zhang Mou into the construction team. If Lu Xu knew about this matter, even if Lu Yao didn't say anything, Tang Xi would not be able to stay in Lu Mansion anymore.
The two came to Lu Yao's room, and Tang Xi told Lu Yao about his previous experience when he went to Kaifeng Mansion.
"Among the three people, the happiest ones are Lord Zhan Zhao and Lord Gongsun Ce. I didn't quite understand what he said. Lord Bao, I couldn't see any change in his expression. He just took the manuscripts and read them again and again.
, and also took the referee's manuscript dedicated to Mr. Zhan Zhao and read it several times. Finally, he sighed deeply, sat there, and then asked me to come back, saying that the three of them would carefully study what you wrote for them.
"
When Lu Yao listened to Tang Xi describing these scenes, the picture couldn't help but appear in his mind. Within a few seconds, he smiled.
"Tell me, the reason why you can't see clearly the expression on Mr. Bao's face is because of his skin color?"
Lu Yao asked so directly, and Tang Xi answered very simply.
"That's true, but I can clearly feel that he was a little unhappy after reading Master Zhan Zhao's refereeing manuscript."
"This is normal. After all, he and Gongsun Ce are both side referees in the end. Even if Zhan Zhao is the less active referee, he is still the main referee. The difference between one word and one word is a huge difference." Lu Yao said,
"But no matter how uncomfortable he feels, this competition is nominally organized by the emperor, so he can't be vague about it."
"Sir, what are you going to do next? Is there anything else I can do for you?"
Tangxi was very enthusiastic today, and Lu Yao knew clearly that it was because he knew that he had done something wrong, so he was eager to show off.
Lu Yao thought for a while, and next he should sort out the manuscript about the explanation for Su Shi and Su Che. Thinking of Su Shi, Lu Yao suddenly thought of that famous dish.
Then, Lu Yao remembered that Su Shi and Su Che were living in the temple with Su Xun.
Yesterday, I relied on my sharp tongue to get these two people to dubiously agree to take over the explanation job. After all, they are talented people, so I still have to give them some rewards.
So, Lu Yao turned to Tang Xi and said: "I will start sorting out the manuscripts for Su Shi and Su Che to read soon. On your side, go to Jiuzhongxian first, book a private room, and make an appointment with them tomorrow night.
Wait for me there, then,"
Lu Yao thought for a while and then called Uncle Fu.
"Do we still have pork belly in the kitchen?" Lu Yao asked.
"Sir, you know that our whole family doesn't like to eat fat meat, so we have never bought fat meat. Even fat and thin meat, Madam won't let us buy it." Fu Bo looked a little helpless and said.
Only then did Lu Yao realize. He remembered that the meals he had eaten before seemed to have no fat in them, and neither Lu Xu nor Yan had touched the fatty dishes he had made.
After Uncle Fu left, Lu Yao said to Tang Xi: "Go to the market and buy some fat and thin pork belly. You must control the proportion. Don't have too little fat, and don't have too much fat. Do you understand?"
Tangxi had never bought vegetables before, but since it was Lu Yao's responsibility, he agreed, and then asked: "Sir, do you want to make new dishes again?"
Lu Yao smiled and said nothing. If this dish is made, the first person invited to taste it should be Su Shi and no one else.
After explaining what happened in Tangxi, Lu Yao started to get busy again. He began to sort out the knowledge he needed to understand.
In fact, during the game, in addition to the team, from players to coaches, the commentators need to know more about the game than the referees. They must not only be familiar with the rules of the game, but also understand each player's knowledge.
Participating teams, from top managers to bottom players, must have a basic understanding, which naturally includes team style, play style, lineup arrangement, and some gossip, etc.
That's why some people jokingly say that if a well-known commentator is hired as a coach, a football team may not be able to play very well, but it will not play too poorly. This is the truth.
This is why Lu Yao must persuade Su Shi and Su Che to be the commentators. If a few officials or literati are randomly found in the court to be the commentators, their influence will not be as great as Su Shi's.
On the one hand, there is no need to think about it, something will definitely go wrong. For the first competition, the best must be used in all aspects, even the commentary must be able to compete.
Su Shi and Su Che, these two talented men, since they agreed to be commentators, they must learn this knowledge. Lu Yao has no doubts about their learning ability. If these two people cannot understand the commentaries
For this job, there should be no one in the imperial court who is qualified to explain it.
Thinking of this, Lu Yao started writing a manuscript about the commentary part. Since the players and teams for the competition had not yet been determined, Lu Yao first wrote down some knowledge that must be known about the commentary, including the competition.
The process, some basic principles of referee decisions, and then a basic introduction to the stadium.
In addition, the most important job that a commentator needs to do is to arouse the emotions of the audience and adjust the atmosphere all the time. This is the most critical for commentators. In some games, because the commentators are not careful, they will
It makes the audience lose interest and become boring. In some games, although the two sides are two underdogs, the addition of passionate commentators will make the game very exciting. This is what Lu Yao wants Su Shi and Su Che to do.
things.
By the time Lu Yao finished writing these things, it was already dark.
"Today is another busy day." Lu Yao smiled, then organized the manuscript and called Tangxi.
At this time, Tangxi had already returned from shopping for groceries, but because Lu Yao had been writing, he was too embarrassed to disturb him.
Lu Yao followed Tangxi into the kitchen and looked at the fat and thin piece of pork belly that Tangxi bought.
"Not bad, this should be considered fine pork belly. How did you choose it?"
Hearing Lu Yao's question, Tangxi scratched his head and said: "Actually, I can't understand what the young master told me about fat and thin. I just feel that this piece of meat is the most appetizing among all the meats on display.
So I chose him."
"Hahaha, you're hitting the mark wrongly." Lu Yao laughed a few times and said.
"Sir, can you tell me now what dish you want to use this piece of meat for?"
Tangxi asked here.
Lu Yao said with a smile: "It's not so much a vegetable as it is a pure meat dish, because when it is made, there are no vegetables in it, just this piece of meat."
"Oh?" When Tangxi heard this, he already had a sense of the picture. He knew Lu Yao's craftsmanship, so he asked: "Then, what is the name of this dish?"
"Well," Lu Yao said with a smile on his lips, "I haven't thought about it yet. I'll let Su Shi come up with the name tomorrow night."
