Ming Dynasty, New Rome, and Infinite Divine Machine

"I am over-flattered."

"But I can still tell from reading between the lines that you seem to have a lot of resentment towards those Lanfang 'automatic boys'. Isn't it Wudang who fought with you to the end?"

"Because the Wudang side was fighting, I knew it at the last moment, and they made it very clear to me. But on the Lanfang side, I couldn't figure out how they were driving. I wanted to take this opportunity to kill them. Take out the goods inside."

"Is that why? But it's okay."

Qi Yuan looked around: "There is no open space in the school. However, the racing track next to it is empty for many times of the year. There are also many venues in the surrounding area. If you really want to hold training camps, it is indeed It’s possible. But it’s not something the school can decide.”

"Then it's up to me to decide. They have taken the sign of Heaven and are no longer under the control of the imperial court."

"Huh?" Qi Yuan was stunned for a moment, "Is there such a thing?"

"Not legally. After all, it is impossible for me to issue any orders to the Sixth Department. But if I mention it."

If Shangluo mentions it, then the six departments will generally not refuse if there is no issue of principle - but Shangluo has not been rejected yet. On the contrary, Zhu Xianfen and other cabinet elders have taken the initiative to ask him several times, such as I asked whether Hainan or Jiuquan is a better space port.

If there are no problems, this proposal should not be rejected.

"So, in the final analysis," Shangluo emphasized, "we need to find a way to enter the next era. This is the time to break down the prejudices of family background!"

"The truth is"

"If you don't do this, you will lose!" Shangluo pulled off his "mask of hypocrisy" and said, "Integrating this year's technology, if we don't do it, someone else will do it. Lanfang has sponsorship, the High School Affiliated to the Imperial College has sponsorship, everywhere There is sponsorship, but we don’t have it here. So I took advantage of my time to bring everyone to our place for training and complete the technical integration at our home court.”

"As expected of Mr. Shang Tianjun, the situation has suddenly become bigger." This time he was not teasing him, it was true. Being able to find a high-sounding reason to make yourself the "best" while making the world a better place is also...

This is what the court is doing now. The original intention of the court may not be to make the world a sunny place, and the starting point of many things does not have any particularly positive motives. Sometimes, the starting point is even bad, but things somehow work out.

"Oh, by the way, Shangluo." Qi Yuan suggested, "How about you pick a few and interview them first?"

"Now? Can they be called now?"

"On call, you are their idol."

"Then... let's call this classmate Li Xiaotai." Shangluo also wanted to meet his live Korean friends.

Shangluo sat behind a separate table, and Han Xingzhi sat next to him. This is the table where they played with the cars just now. This time they brought the tablecloth. The tablecloth hung down from all sides, covering their legs and making the table look like an "interview table." There were two writing pads and two bottles of Coke on the table, but nothing else.

"By the way, I just turned my head, where did the things on the table go?"

Han Xingzhi pointed to the cabinet next to him: "Everything on the table was stuffed into the cabinet at once. You were not here last time when we hosted the Lanfang team, and we also stuffed them in like this at that time."

"So, we can just wait here?"

"Wait a moment. This is how I used to interview other people. Manager Qi shows up to pick up the person. Just wait for her to send the letter - oh, it rang."

The two of them lowered their heads at the same time. Their cell phones rang. The student Li Xiaotai who was going to be interviewed should be at the door. The next step should be to knock on the door, and then

"loyalty!"

There was no knock on the door, but the extremely energetic person outside the door reported in a loud voice. Han Xingzhi was so frightened that he trembled violently.

"Come in." Shangluo was more familiar with this kind of scene.

Different from the trembling report just now, Li Xiaotai's action of opening the door was extremely gentle. Making almost no sound, he silently opened the door.

What appeared in front of Shangluo was an ordinary first-year student in school uniform. Neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin, there is nothing memorable about his appearance alone - but for some reason, he looks very energetic. His clothes were as good as new, and his loose school uniform was neatly ironed.

He walked up to the two people's table and bowed first:

"First-year student Li Xiaotai is here for an interview. Please give me advice from the two seniors."

"Well, sit down." Shangluo gestured for him to sit at the table in front of him.

Chapter 612 Introduction

This was not a pre-arranged interview, but an impromptu interview. The fact that he came to the interview in this state shows that he has always paid attention to taking care of his image.

This is a good thing. People who can keep themselves organized can usually handle their work in an organized manner.

But the interview is not everything. After all, this is not a health inspection. After all, the competition must be determined by strength, not internal affairs. There are many students who are suitable for participating in this program who are not good at speaking or even socially anxious.

For example, the classmate Xiao Han next to me is quite sociophobic in a sense. Shangluo found that he only seemed to be more enthusiastic about himself - he had never even seen Han Xingzhi and his classmates doing anything.

Many socially fearful people are like this. They are not afraid of society at all times. They occasionally put down psychological defense lines against specific people. But for Han Xingzhi, who only plays with Shangluo alone, his level of social fear seems to be quite high.

Even among his colleagues who also like Wang Lingguan, such as Wen Yuan, Shangluo has never seen any active contact between him and Wen Yuan.

He sent a message under the table with his hand and asked Han Xingzhi:

"Can you handle such an interview?"

Han Xingzhi replied:

"."

The answer is obvious, he can't get interviewed at all. But before Shangluo came, he was the technical director.

So the interview only accounts for a small part of the total score here in Shangluo - it's not completely impossible. Because in addition to technical personnel, a fleet also needs some personnel to help front-line technicians solve non-technical matters. This is normal, because this is not a "spherical project in a vacuum". If it wants to exist in the world, it must deal with people. And there are some people who just don't like dealing with others.

The Longjiang team has Lu Lianglai as the manager. If he was recruited into the team because of his technical skills, he wouldn't need to interact with outsiders when Lu Liang was around.

So the interview though is actually of no use. However, there must always be one or two people in a team who can handle the interview - but the technical ability of such people is also essential, otherwise there will be no negotiation at all.

Qi Yuan is a very powerful manager. She knows what skills go into a good race car, and she can plan it and get it done. Although she didn't actually get started herself, she knew the crew on site needed people and had everything in place.

Therefore, technical directors and managers are needed.

But the two may not appear at the same time - the Longjiang team's previous two-headed system was that someone was responsible for technology and someone was responsible for affairs, and both sides were able to take the lead. And a team may not be able to gather two such talents at the same time, and sometimes it has to focus on a certain direction. So even if the North Korean classmate in front of me passes the interview, he may not be suitable to be a manager.

"Ah" Shangluo sighed softly. When it comes to the work of managing people, it is quite complicated. After all, people are much more complicated than Doudou. Now it's just a student club. To put it bluntly, it's just playing house. This simulated interview table, including the interview process, is simulating a real interview.

There are so many small ways to play a "kid's game" like house, not to mention the heaven - heaven requires a big way. When I think about this, I still feel stressed.

"Then, let me introduce myself first." Shangluo took a sip of Coke to relax himself.

Briefly and politely, Ri Hyo-dae introduced himself as a native of Pyongyang and a graduate of North Korea's Third National Industrial School, which is similar in nature to a health school such as Wutaishan Training Institute.

His ancestral line is Jeonju Lee. Benguan is the "playing house version" of "county kings" such as the Boling Cui family and the Hongnong Yang family. Because no matter Li, Jin or Cui, such surnames did not arise spontaneously on the Korean Peninsula, but were introduced many times from the Han Dynasty. There may not be any relationship between people with the same surname, so it is necessary to use such an "origin" to distinguish which Li family it is.

Jeonju Lee family is actually the origin of the Korean royal family. However, there are at least hundreds of thousands of people in North Korea who belong to the Lee family in Jeonju, and not all of them are members of the royal family.

"What is your blood relationship with the King of Korea?"

Shangluo asked.

"Well" he thought for a while, "The blood relationship between me and our king is even further than the relationship between Liu Xuande and Emperor Liu Xian. Our common ancestor can be traced back to the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty."

"What does your father do?" Shangluo asked.

Li Xiaotai paused again for a moment - he didn't expect Shangluo to ask directly about his family situation.

"My father serves as the captain of the 812th Korean Skirmisher Regiment, which is affiliated to the 2th Garrison Column of the 97nd Beiting Regiment and guards the Ural Great Wall."

"Oh, so he is a member of the army of Master Wang?"

"Yes, my father was fortunate enough to be selected by Master Wang and promoted to be a member of the Great Wall Guards, so that he could directly serve His Majesty the Holy Emperor."

"Have you seen your father lately?"

"Actually, we see each other every year. Either when he comes back, or when our family comes to visit him. After the National Railway's Lingbei Road is fully connected, commuting is quite convenient."

"Wait a minute, don't those people who are so far away take a plane? Why take a train?"

"I don't like airplanes. None of our family likes it. It's more peaceful to take the train."

"Well, sometimes I feel the same way." Shangluo nodded, "Okay, that's it for today."

"Ah" it ended so quickly, which surprised him. But Shangluo said it was okay, and he immediately stood up and left.

"How is it?" After he walked out, Qi Yuan came in and asked, "Is he suitable?"

"Whether he's suitable or not depends on the written test and on-site test. The interview is just a reference so I can check out this person - he said his father is guarding the Great Wall? Are we recruiting troops from North Korea?"

"Not many are recruited. Generally, independent troops are directly dispatched from North Korea to fight. Only a few establishments are supplemented by personnel recruited directly from North Korea. They are all meritorious troops with history and achievements. There are many meritorious troops in North Korean skirmishers, because North Koreans run very fast in the mountains.”

"Ah, it's true." Shangluo touched his forehead, "North Koreans run very fast no matter where they are. For example, they ran all the way to the Yalu River or something."

"Yes, the imperial court was frightened in the year of Renchen. They were chased all the way by Taira Hideyoshi, and the imperial court thought they were going to be internal agents for the Japanese pirates. After all, there had been incidents of 'calling the door' before."

"We're not talking about a runaway - but it's certainly not surprising that something like this could happen at any time."

"So, has he been interviewed?" Qi Yuan asked.

"It's very easy to pass my interview. It doesn't matter which foot you step first, left or right, as long as it suits your eyes. But this guy has a lot of stories to tell - if he is recruited, he will be a foreign affairs official. You can take him with you when you are ready. How he will be positioned in the new team depends on his future performance. But after Zhongliang, it is a bonus for me. It is great to go to the railway to visit his father. But when was the railway on Lingbei Road built? How is the road condition?"

"It must have been repaired decades ago. After all, the Cao Army members are working hard on all fronts. There must be tens of thousands of Cao troops stationed along the line now."

"Cajun? What is the relationship between Caojun and the railway? Why do I suddenly have a bad feeling?"

[Ah, yes, yes, your bad premonition is right. I have already sent you a piece of information, please take a look. 】

Chapter 613 Test

While sorting the documents on the table, Han Xingzhi next to him asked him: "Brother, the exam is only two or three days away. Is it still too late for you to transform yourself now?"

Shangluo looked at his phone one after another.

"Or else, it's an experiment. I have to be a little more radical to test out the edge of this technology, and then I can plan a development route suitable for others. Later, you can go through these little classmates one by one."

"Jie Jie Jie." Han Xingzhi's eyes scanned the many resumes like a hawk watching a wolf. "It's really interesting to hide in a dark little room and decide where the children will go in the next few years~~"

"What are you thinking about? You just decided on a club."

"Our club has the potential to win the championship!"

"Pull them down." Shangluo waved his hand, "Everyone who should leave has gone, leaving nothing but the guy with glasses. Whether they can win the championship depends on them. By the way, our competition system is very unreasonable. It's not easy. Is there going to be this kind of inconsistency?"

"It was difficult for our kind of cattle racing team to maintain an orderly inheritance from generation to generation before." Han Xingzhi shook his head and said, "It would be good if we could keep people every year. Of course, it is not the case now, and now we can slowly select the right ones. Member. Ah, it’s easy to do anything if you win once. Wait a minute.”

Han Xingzhi suddenly thought: "If we are to be promoted to heavenly beings in the future, will the academic system also be extended?"

"Don't say it yet, you really don't say it."

"Thankfully we caught up with this class! Otherwise, who could have endured the last six or eight years of high school? Eh? Brother, why are you so stunned?"

Shangluo has been looking at his phone since just now. But now his expression is already stupid——

"Hey, Xiao Han, how many Cao troops do we have?"

"Four to five million."

"This information is really not written in vain!"

[I told you how it is impossible to write blindly for you. There really are so many. 】

"Let me ask again. I say, classmate Han Xingzhi, how many people do we have in our army combined?"

"Four to five million."

"Then what if our total military strength around the world is calculated?"

"Then it's not easy to forget." Han Xingzhi counted for him, "Forbidden Army, Army, Navy, Beiting Serbian Army, Nanyang Serbian Army, Western Region Serbian Army, Yangzhou Serbian Army, and other vassal towns. Together, plus the troops and horses from various tributary countries that we can mobilize, the total number is about 1400 million."

"Why so many?"

"Is this still too much? I think it's still less. North Korea alone has an army of 120 million, and our army of four to five million is still less. After all, North Korea's economic level is not half that of Shandong Province."

"Then is it really necessary for the Cao Army to have nearly 50 men?"

"Well, after all, there are more than one million Cao workers. The number of people served by millions of Cao workers is counted in trillions. If there were no Cao troops traveling around the world following the ships and trains, border railways like Lingbei Road would not be safe. - After all, there are more than a thousand people on a train. With so many people gathered together, if a few bad guys come up, only the Cao Army can stop them. For example. "

Han Xingzhi thought for a while: "If we want to talk about the Cao Army, we have to talk about North Korea. In fact, all the main railways in North Korea are under the jurisdiction of the Cao Army, and the land on both sides of the railway all belong to the Ministry of Industry, not North Korea. Independence The Water Transport and Railway Bureau of the Ministry of Industry can ensure that the material trunk lines in various places are smooth under any circumstances. It can also ensure that our trains can reach Pyongyang or Hanyang at any time."

"By the way, how do you know so much?"

"Isn't it normal for high school boys to like reading these things? They're all in the newspapers. And I can chat with people using the jade token."

"Oh, I almost forgot."

He forgot that Han Xingzhi was a Xuanxiu cultivator. As a Xuanxiu, he has sufficient "power" to surf the Internet.

"Do I look that ordinary?"

"Tsk, you don't have any outstanding characteristics except endorsements and surfing the Internet. Of course I will forget it. Let me ask you now. Since you surf the Internet all day long, then - from the perspective of the general public, What do you think of the Cao Army?"

"What? What do you think?" Han Xingzhi asked inexplicably.

"I mean like cut off?"
