money? alienation?
Then from salt banknotes to the strategy of making summer and Qingtang.
Cai Jing and Cai Bian listened to Zhang Yue's words and admired them from the bottom of their hearts.
Cai Jing was well aware of Zhang Yue's abilities, but Cai Bian was different. He was Wang Anshi's student and son-in-law. He had always admired Wang Anshi with great admiration, but now under Zhang Yue's leadership, he also gained his talents.
Cai Bianzhi is as smart and transparent as Cai Jing.
Cai Jing is a well-rounded person, and Cai Bian is not only thoughtful, but also has such a simple and loyal character that people will not think that this person is too shrewd.
No wonder Wang Anshi, who was the prime minister and had many friends, would marry his daughter to the other party.
Zhang Yue admired both Cai Jing and Cai Bian very much, and sighed in his heart that Fujian still produces talents.
Apart from the two brothers, Xu Xi under the curtain is talented, but a little arrogant, and often speaks in a manner that overwhelms others. Zhang Yue knew that Xu Xi was the only commoner under the curtain who came from a poor family. The so-called inferiority complex was arrogance when exposed, so that he would not be bullied.
Shen Kuo is dull, not good at words, and not good at communication. He tinkers with small things all day long.
Zhang Kai had the highest official position among the five, and his sharpness and decisiveness were better than others. He went to the northwest to fight. Cai Jing and Cai Bian were not handsome men, but Zhang Kai and Xu Xi knew military strategies.
Zhang Kai not only knew military strategy, but also had handsome talents.
This is also the reason why Zhang Yue recruited Zhang Kai under the curtain. He wanted to train a replacement. If he left Xihe, there would always be someone to replace him. Zhang Yue originally intended to marry Wang Shao, but Wang Shao was too impatient. If he could stay calm and wait for a while, his position would be his sooner or later, but now...
Zhang Yue sighed in the inn. Although he had known that Wang Shao was rebellious, he still felt so heartbroken at the moment of betrayal.
In view of Wang Shao's lesson, Zhang Yue also intended to work hard on knowing and employing people.
As the saying goes, if you are a third-rank official, you don't need to read photo books. Now Zhang Yue is also a third-rank official, but it is not enough just to know people, he must also be able to use them.
At his current position, it is impossible to achieve success by working alone. He must cultivate a group of confidants.
Along the way from Bianjing to Qinzhou, Zhang Yue had to chat with five staff members every day, not only as superiors and subordinates, but also as division commanders. He repeatedly emphasized and urged them so that they would travel less when they were actually working.
Zhang Yue set a rule for these five people, which is to be upright and frugal at the same time.
Frugality is the first virtue of an official.
This is why he admires Wang Anshi and Sima Guang very much.
After Zhang Yue asked for frugality, everyone else was fine, except Cai Jing, who liked luxury.
In addition to rules, Zhang Yue also treats others with sincerity.
After arriving at Fengxiang Mansion, Xu Xi offered advice to Zhang Yue: "At present, Mu Zheng, Dong Fei, and Xixia are attacking our army in Minzhou, Hezhou, Xizhou, Lanzhou, and Huizhou. It is autumn now, and it is the time when the Tibetan people and horses are fat. At this time, it is not conducive for our army to fight quickly, so we can let the troops in the front retreat to several key points, and then fight again when the enemy's troops are dispersed."
"At the same time, after our army leaves Qinzhou, we can march in large numbers. The Tibetan tribes in Xihe Prefecture are converted from Mu Han, not really from Mu Zheng. Dong Fei is just forced to become a thief. As long as the Tibetan tribes know that the commander has returned to Xihe, If the imperial court sends a large army forward, it will inevitably surrender. At this time, our army can choose the best and strong ones, provide them with food and grass, and order them to accompany the army to defeat the thieves."
Zhang Yue couldn't help but admire Xu Xi's words as they were all in line with his own wishes. Even if the other party was Ma Su, he should still use his talents to the best of his ability.
In fact, in history, Shenzong, Lu Huiqing, and Su Shi all admired Xu Xi very much and thought that Xu Xi was outstanding, otherwise they would not have allowed him to serve as the commander-in-chief of Yongle City.
Although they were defeated by Yongle City and died for their country, for example, like the national football team, which has suffered repeated defeats, it cannot be denied that those who can join the national team are currently the best football players in the country.
After Xu Xi offered his advice, Zhang Yue immediately ordered people to rush to Xihe Prefecture, meet with the leaders of various tribes, and told them that he had returned to Xihe and told them not to become thieves, otherwise they would be settled later!
Most of the Tibetan leaders in Xihe had followed Zhang Yue to the capital to receive rewards, and they were still very proud of themselves.
After Xu Xi mentioned his suggestion, Zhang Yue immediately awarded the opponent the title of Judge of the Tongyuan Army, and was promoted from a commoner to a second-class fourth-level selector.
When Xu Xi learned about Zhang Yue's appointment, he was so surprised that he couldn't speak. He quickly said: "Xu has not made any achievements, how dare he take this position."
Zhang Yue said: "I have never explained this to others easily, but when you first came to my office, I immediately told you that I will always record the smallest achievements and reward the merits. Your several suggestions are all in line with my wishes. Now I will used."
"But I'm just a commoner..."
Xu Xi was surprised and wanted to say more, but Zhang Yue smiled and patted his shoulder without saying anything.
Cai Jing, Cai Bian, and Zhang Qi all smiled and congratulated him.
Cai Jing smiled and said to Xu Xi: "You didn't know what the commander was like when you came to the scene. He never draws cakes with others. He always feeds cakes directly into people's mouths. You will know about it later."
Zhang Kai nodded and said, "Yes, the people who went to Xihe with the commander-in-chief have all been promoted. You will know just by looking at them."
Xu Xi calmed down before accepting.
A few days ago, he was a scholar visiting various restaurants in Bianjing, but now he is an official of the imperial court.
This encounter was like a dream, unbelievable.
Thinking of the fact that he had met Huang Tingjian, a fellow villager, and proposed marriage to him, he had promised to go to Xihe for a few years to earn an official position, and then come back to marry Miss Huang. Who would have thought that in just a few days, he would become an official? Half-time.
The soldiers and horses marched all the way. When Zhang Yue arrived in Qinzhou, Qinfeng Road Manager Zhang Shen led Qinzhou's civil and military officials ten miles out of the city to meet Zhang Yue and his party.
This scene is truly remarkable.
Near the road pavilion, flags were flying and thousands of cavalry were guarding here.
Beside the road pavilion, Zhang Yue and Zhang Shen greeted each other.
Zhang Shen said with a smile: "Zhang has been waiting for Long Tu to arrive here for a long time. He has prepared a banquet in the road pavilion to welcome Long Tu and wash away his dust."
Zhang Yue smiled and thanked him.
The two of them arrived at the road pavilion. After Zhang Shen offered Zhang Yue a glass of wine, Zhang Yue praised: "The wine from Guanxi is still strong enough, but the wine from the capital tastes soft and lacks the taste of gold and iron."
Zhang Shen said with a smile: "Like Long Tu, I came to Bianjing from Pucheng to serve as an official, and then went to the northwest to serve as an official. I also fell in love with the strong wine here."
Zhang Yue put down his glass and asked, "How is the war in Xihe going now?"
Zhang Shen stopped drinking and said, "It's hard to explain in just one sentence!"
Zhang Shen and Zhang Yue immediately talked about the situation in Xihe.
Zhang Yue listened to a long paragraph and said to Zhang Shen: "Without further ado, I will go to Xihe tomorrow. How many troops and horses can you tell me from Qin Feng Road?"
】
Zhang Shen is currently in the Tianzhang Pavilion, and his rank is the same as that of the fifth rank, but the difference in official rank between Zhang Yue and Zhang Yue is still too much.
Zhang Yue also served as the deputy general manager of troops and horses at Qin Feng Road, but Zhang Shen still followed Zhang Yue's lead.
Zhang Shen said: "It's difficult! Last year, Qin Feng Road allocated a lot of money to Xihe Road. Now the Xixia soldiers and horses have joined forces with Dong Xiang and Mu Zheng to attack Lanzhou and Huizhou. Once Huizhou is lost, the Xixia soldiers and horses will attack from Tongwei. When we come to Qinfeng Road, if our troops and horses are diverted away, how will we be able to respond to the enemy?"
