So what if I traveled through time? I'll continue to roll in another place
Chapter 11 Interview with Mrs.
Wang Huai'en led Xiao Yueshan into the room. The room was separated by a tall mahogany embroidered screen. Xiao Yueshan stood outside the screen. The outline of the woman in gorgeous clothes in the room was unclear through the luster of the satin and the inlaid pearls and gems.
After Xiao Yueshan stood still, she immediately bowed her head as Wang Huai'en had taught her: "Your Majesty, Mrs. Xiao, the wife of Zhou Yao, the censor of Xijiang Province, pays homage to the Madam Protector of the Nation and Assists the Government. May your Majesty live a thousand years, a thousand years, and a thousand thousand years!" The Keshi in history was a ruthless and cruel character. Xiao Yueshan was worried as to whether the Shenshi in this world was also like Keshi.
"Who are you?" asked the woman behind the screen.
Huh? Is this lady who protects the country and assists the people in fortune not very good at hearing? Xiao Yueshan was puzzled, but she didn't care about it for now. She said it again: "I am the wife of Zhou Yao, the seventh-rank censor of Xijiang Province. I come to see you on the order of the lady." This time she deliberately spoke slower. Wang Huai'en once said that Shen liked to hear people call her a thousand years old. Why not call her a thousand years old again? The more courtesy, the less blame. "Madam, a thousand years old, a thousand thousand years old!" Xiao Yueshan called her again in a good-tempered manner.
"I am not deaf." The woman smiled softly, "You are just Zhou Yao's wife?"
Xiao Yueshan was completely confused by her. "You are not my elder sister. What do you want?" She was speechless. But now we are in the feudal dynasty. If you are not careful, you will lose your head. "Madam, I am the daughter of Xiao Zheng, the director of the Imperial College." How about another answer? Xiao Yueshan was in a mess and didn't know how to respond.
"Oh, you are such a vulgar person." The woman snorted coldly, "Look at this yourself, is this your work?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a palace maid in aqua-green clothes behind the screen handed a few pieces of paper to Xiao Yueshan, who was still kneeling in the palace. She looked up and was shocked. "Oh my god, this is not the inner house employee file form I wrote, and it has been spread to the capital in just a few days?"
"It was written by me, your Highness. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Madam." Xiao Yueshan answered cautiously and kowtowed again. At this moment, she really despised herself for being spineless, but the tyranny of the feudal dynasty and the mysterious desire to survive made her subconsciously become a dog-like person.
"That's good. Please fill in this for my wife. Please take a seat." The maids quickly brought a set of writing materials to the desk. Xiao Yueshan took a closer look. This! Isn't this a pure modern resume? It's even in simplified Chinese! She was very surprised. It turned out that this lady also traveled through time? For a moment, she forgot the red tape that Wang Huai'en taught her, and looked up directly behind the screen.
"Now you know how to respond to me, right?" the woman said slowly, "Just write according to this resume."
Xiao Yueshan was filling out the form when the woman behind the screen asked again, "I heard that after you came here, you did not release the tenants on your farm, but increased the rent. They say that everyone is equal, but why are you so strange that you have adapted so well here and become a landlord with peace of mind?"
"Madam, times have changed. I only seek self-preservation and peace of mind. With my limited power now, I cannot fight against the entire system. Moreover, even if I distribute all the land to these tenants and give them freedom, it is just fattening the sheep and letting the fat sheep fall into the mouth of other tigers. Land annexation is a common problem in every dynasty. The tenants have no way to protect themselves. It is better for me to take care of them first and give them more food. This is a more practical benefit." Xiao Yueshan answered honestly. "Although I have increased the rent, I have also left more food for them. I just eliminated the middlemen who made a profit from the price difference."
"Your explanation is novel." The woman's words were emotionless. "Is this also the reason why you took care of the inner house and sent your old mother away?"
"That's right. I can't change the current situation, but I never treat them as slaves. I respect them from the bottom of my heart. Instead, I regard the inner house as a company. I pay them salaries, and these so-called slaves are my employees. They should complete their work while receiving my salary. I have people to help me, and they have a place to live, that's all. As for whether they are called slaves or servants or Xiao Wang and Xiao Li, it doesn't matter. They are all workers." Xiao Yueshan said frankly.
"You are quite eloquent and have your own set of twisted theories." Although she said so, Xiao Yueshan felt that Shen accepted her logic. "You have finished filling out the form. Jingzhu, bring it up." The green-clad palace maid standing beside her handed Xiao Yueshan's resume behind the screen.
"Xiao Yueshan, same name as the original owner? Female, 30 years old, time traveled through time, choked to death from overtime work? This reason is quite novel." The woman smiled. Hearing the woman's laughter, Xiao Yueshan herself also wanted to complain about this perfunctory and broken plot!
"I graduated from Qiuxin University, which is a pretty good school. My major is business administration," the woman paused and said disdainfully, "It's a pity that I'm another liberal arts student. After I joined the work, I have been engaged in social management work. I have worked in rural areas and cities, and have worked in offices, personnel, and business. I have rich work experience. Now I mainly do financial auditing work, and the scope of audit supervision spans across regions. You are a talented person at such a young age." The woman summarized while holding her resume.
"What a pity, there are too many talented people like this." The woman said calmly, "Jingzhu, take her to the Hong group and teach her the rules."
It seemed that Madam Protector of the Nation and Assist in the Operation of Fortune was going to end the interview unilaterally. Xiao Yueshan got excited and asked directly, "Excuse me, Madam, are you also a time traveler?" She was too curious. In this world, meeting a fellow time traveler was as friendly as meeting a fellow villager. She didn't care about the rules and felt that if a modern person was also a time traveler, he or she wouldn't care about these things.
"Miss Xiao, you are overstepping your authority." Jingzhu said, "Please follow me." The woman behind the screen no longer paid attention to Xiao Yueshan. She could only follow Jingzhu and leave the inner hall.
The sky and the earth are dark and yellow, the universe is vast and ancient, some people always like to sort them according to the "Thousand Character Classic". When Xiao Yueshan heard the word "Hong", he felt unhappy.
"If it weren't for your good school, you should have been sent to the Huangzi Group with your all-purpose major." Jing Zhu seemed to see through her thoughts and said coldly. "There is no value in going to the Huangzi Group. You will be sent to work in various places in the palace."
Uh, why should you be so direct when speaking? Xiao Yueshan is really angry. Besides, we all traveled through time, why do you arrest people and bring them to the palace without any explanation? This lady who protects the country and assists in the fortune has read all the books, and she really hasn't learned anything about freedom, equality and fraternity. It's too much!
Jingzhu took her into an empty room. There was only a set of table and chairs in the room. Food was already prepared on the table, but it looked creepy.
"Miss Xiao, please sit down," Jingzhu greeted her, "Miss Xiao, you've been tired all day, eat something first, people in your area like to talk about things while eating, let's follow your habits." After that, she poured her a glass of wine. Xiao Yueshan felt even more creepy when she looked at the wine, which good family would talk about things like this! ?
Being poisoned would mean death, being starved would also mean death, anyway, she was like a fish on the chopping board to be slaughtered, so she should eat her fill first. Thinking of this, Xiao Yueshan resigned herself to picking up the chopsticks and started eating.
"Madam has already asked about your general situation. It seems that Miss Xiao does not have any skills that impress Madam. Then I'd like to trouble Miss Xiao to think carefully about what advantages she has that can be used by Madam." Jingzhu also symbolically took a few bites of the food before speaking.
Huh? Does this mean to continue the interview? Xiao Yueshan's brain was frozen. Advantages, advantages, advantages? What advantages did she have? Good at using Excel? Great at writing materials? Excellent at PPT? But these are really useless here? She couldn't even use an abacus. She had only learned it from Fangcao a while ago in order to do the accounts.
"Excuse me, Miss Jingzhu, what kind of advantage does Madam want?" Xiao Yueshan had been an interviewer after all, so she pretended to be profound and turned the tables by saying, "I have also read quite a few novels and TV dramas. Judging from the fact that Madam just disdained me for being a liberal arts student, the advantage Madam wants is nothing more than production technology that is ahead of its time. One is for military use, such as guns and gunpowder; the other is for commercial use, such as smelting and materials. In fact, from my experience, modern manufacturing often has a very detailed division of labor. Even if many people are engaged in related industries, they are only familiar with part of the process, and are even very dependent on existing instruments and tools. It is usually impossible to restore it by one person alone. The advancement of any technology is the result of the development of productivity, not determined by one person or one technology." She pretended to be profound.
Jingzhu listened but did not respond. Xiao Yueshan could only continue, "Management is by no means worthless empty talk. Management is also productivity. Breaking through productivity is important, but how to allocate economic resources and production factors, how to make limited resources and manpower more valuable, how to build an organizational structure, and place your own people in key positions, how to understand people, use people, and manipulate people, this is the biggest weapon for Madam in feudal society." Oh my God! What nonsense am I talking about! Xiao Yueshan roared wildly in his heart, but pretended to be calm on the surface, and even recalled the mood during the graduation defense.
In her heart, she had long equated Shen with Ke. Thinking of how Ke had manipulated the government and turned the tide, Shen might have had such ambitions as well. Otherwise, she would not have gone to such great lengths to search for people who had traveled through time, and hoped that they would have unique skills for her to use.
