"He is still too young. Although he is smart and has a keen vision, after all, he has too little experience and experience. He is also a little young and impulsive, and he is sharp. Today he wants to prove himself in front of me, but when he speaks and does things, he still fails. It lacked a lot of consideration..."
In the study room of the Zhao Mansion, while Zhao Junchen was waiting for Xu Wenqing to appear, he recalled his conversation with Zeng Wei and commented secretly. [No pop-up novel website]
Today, Zhao Junchen was pleasantly surprised by his conversation with Zeng Wei. He did not expect that Zeng Wei could see through his plan to reorganize the Zhao party just through some superficial appearances. With this intelligence and vision alone, he would be strong Passed most of the old people in the Zhao party.
From Zhao Junchen's point of view, as long as Zeng Wei practices for a few more years, he may not be worse than Zhao Shancai, Zhou Suwen, Li Chunchen and others! It is really a blessing for Zhao Junchen, who has always been thirsty for talents but lacks talents under his command, to receive such talented people!
Zeng Wei's performance also gave Zhao Junchen a lot of confidence in the future of the "New Zhao Party".
However, although Zeng Wei was smart and well-educated, he was still just a young man. Due to his lack of experience and experience, he could not compare with the old foxes in the officialdom in many aspects.
First of all, Zeng Wei didn't understand the principle of "hiding clumsiness" at all. In order to show his intelligence in front of Zhao Junchen, he directly revealed Zhao Junchen's true thoughts!
↖,. Why was Yang Xiu killed by Cao Cao during the Three Kingdoms period? Wasn't it because he figured out Cao Cao's thoughts that he aroused Cao Cao's suspicion?
In the officialdom, "guessing one's mind" is a required course for officials, but it is also a taboo. If the people below know the thoughts and intentions of the superiors, how can the superiors still feel safe? At this time, just pretend to be confused and act according to your will. Why bother showing off? In fact, Zhao Junchen has always boasted of being broad-minded. But after being guessed by Zeng Wei today, although he appreciates Zeng Wei's intelligence more and more, it also adds a little sense of crisis. In order to control Zeng Wei in the future, Zhao Junchen will definitely put more thought into it.
Secondly, Zeng Wei was eager to express himself, but he ignored the opportunity and occasion, and lacked consideration in doing things!
Zhao Junchen's desire to reorganize the Zhao Party was no small matter, even Zeng Wei had guessed it. You should never tell this matter in front of Liu Zimin! The reorganization of the Zhao Party is one of Zhao Junchen's biggest secrets now. Once it is leaked, the current Zhao Party will be in chaos, so the fewer people who know about it, the better. However, because of Zeng Wei, now it is Liu Zimin knew about this, which also added a risk to Zhao Junchen's plan.
Although Zhao Junchen seemed to trust Zeng Wei and Liu Zimin on the carriage, it can be expected that starting from today. In order to prevent the news from leaking, Zhao Junchen will definitely send someone to closely monitor the two of them.
Finally, Zeng Wei's most important flaw is that Zeng Wei's temperament is too arrogant. Although he was humble and polite on the surface, deep down in his heart, anyone could see his contempt for the other new scholars.
of course. Zeng Wei is a smart man compared to him. Most people in this world are stupid, so he has the right to look down on other people! but. Compared with smart people, these stupid people are the mainstream of this world! If a "smart person" does not know how to control and influence the stupid people around him, or ignores the influence of these stupid people, then he will be alone, unable to move forward, and unable to achieve anything in his life!
In addition, stupid people are not puppets or puppets after all. They also have emotions of joy and anger, love and hate, and dignity. If you always dismiss them and do not hide it, it will only arouse everyone's jealousy and hostility. When the time comes, "the general trend is irresistible", it will even fall into a big trap!
Therefore, a truly smart person will not only not despise ordinary people, but will integrate into them, guide and drive them, and eventually become the leader of ordinary people, turning the power of ordinary people into his own power!
Zeng Wei has not yet fully understood these things.
It can be said that Zeng Wei's meeting with Zhao Junchen this time has completely revealed all his strengths and weaknesses.
"However, in the final analysis, these shortcomings are just due to a lack of experience and experience. When Zeng Wei has experienced more things in the future and has become more sophisticated, these shortcomings will no longer be shortcomings... Well, it seems that there will be more in the future. Give him more responsibilities, so that he can accelerate his growth and help me share my worries as soon as possible."
Zhao Junchen thought secretly.
When employing people, you should not stick to a person's shortcomings, but look at problems from a growth perspective.
Now, Zhao Junchen saw Zeng Wei's shortcomings, but it made Zhao Junchen determined to further reuse Zeng Wei.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And just when Zhao Junchen was thinking about how to use Zeng Wei in the future, Xu Qingyan opened the door of the study room and reported: "Master, Xu Wenqing is here."
"Invite him in quickly." Zhao Junchen calmed down his thoughts and nodded.
A moment later, Xu Wenqing came to the study. Zhao Junchen looked at him, but he saw Xu Wenqing's expression was depressed and gloomy.
Xu Wenqing, as an aide to Liang Fuchen, the governor of the three sides, came to the capital this time to discuss the derelict military equipment of the three sides.
Because of the shortcomings of the Ming Dynasty's military system, it was not uncommon for military households to flee. Among many military towns, the Sanbian Military Town had the most difficult conditions and frequent wars, so the situation of military households fleeing was the most serious. .
However, the military towns on the three sides bear the heavy responsibility of border defense. Now, with military families fleeing frequently, the military strength is extremely empty, and has even reached a dangerous edge. It is difficult to resist the successive invasions of Mongolian, Jurchen and other tribes.
In response to this, Liang Fuchen, the governor of the three sides, was naturally extremely anxious and even wanted to use money to recruit a full-time mercenary army. This time he sent Xu Wenqing to Beijing precisely for this purpose, hoping that Zhao Junchen would secretly allocate him a mercenary army. A pen of silver was used to form a new army.
However, bypass the Ministry of War. Money was allocated directly from the Ministry of Household Affairs to the Trilateral Military Town, and was used to form a private army. It's really against the rules and too sensitive. Once discovered, he would be doomed, but Zhao Junchen politely refused.
In fact, Zhao Junchen really wanted to help Liang Fuchen rectify the trilateral armaments, because he knew very well that once there were omissions in the trilateral defense, under the wolf ambitions of the Jurchens and Mongols, what would it mean to the Han nation? That would be the Ming Dynasty. A catastrophe with the Han nation!
However, the armaments in the trilateral military town were in ruins. It was because of the shortcomings of the Ming Dynasty's military system that the Ming Dynasty's military system had to be changed if it wanted to be reversed. The Ming Dynasty's military system was not only related to the interests of all aspects, but also the foundation for maintaining the Ming Dynasty's imperial power. Emperor Deqing would never allow it. It changes.
Therefore, Zhao Junchen did not even dare to mention this matter in front of Emperor Deqing, for fear of offending many vested interests and arousing suspicion in Emperor Deqing's heart. Let Emperor Deqing think that Zhao Junchen wants to intervene in the army. Zhao Junchen really wants to do this, so he cannot arouse Emperor Deqing's vigilance!
So, the last time Xu Wenqing asked Zhao Junchen for help, he ended up with no success.
However. Xu Wenqing was a determined person. Although he failed to seek help from Zhao Junchen, he was not depressed. Instead, he attacked everywhere and found many connections these days. Just looking at his expression now, it's obvious that things are not going smoothly. The most indispensable thing in the court is the old fox who seeks advantages and avoids disadvantages, but no one dares to take care of the mess in the Trilateral Army Town.
…
Now, after seeing Xu Wenqing's face, Zhao Junchen sighed and asked, "It seems that Mr. Xu is not going well these days."
Xu Wenqing nodded sadly, and said to Zhao Junchen with some tiredness: "That's true. I'm asking to see Lord Shangshu again today because I hope that Lord Shangshu can provide some help to the three-sided military town. My Lord Liang will definitely be grateful. If you do it, there will be great rewards in the future!"
Xu Wenqing knew very well that if he wanted to reverse the decline of the Trilateral Army Town, he could not do without Zhao Junchen, who was in charge of the world's money and food, so after looking around, he still found Zhao Junchen.
Zhao Junchen had already considered this.
Although Zhao Junchen was unable to directly help Liang Fuchen reorganize the trilateral defense due to his own interests, Zhao Junchen was still willing to provide some help within his ability without compromising his own interests and safety!
After all, Zhao Junchen still has some bottom lines as a person and as an official.
Zhao Junchen has thought a lot about how to help Liang Fuchen reorganize the three-sided defense. In the end, Zhao Junchen found a way, and he has been secretly preparing for this recently.
In fact, as the southern tour is about to begin, if Xu Wenqing does not come to Zhao Junchen for help, Zhao Junchen will also take the initiative to look for Xu Wenqing!
So, Zhao Junchen nodded and said: "I have thought it through clearly. The three-sided military town is responsible for the important task of border defense. We must not neglect our military equipment. Otherwise, if an accident occurs, no one will be able to bear the responsibility. However, if it is like Governor Liang As mentioned, it is absolutely impossible to bypass the Ministry of War and have the Ministry of Household Affairs allocate money directly to the three military towns. Otherwise, it will only bring trouble to both of us. I thought about it for a long time and decided to allocate money to you through the Ministry of Industry. It’s not a lot of money, but it’s better than nothing.”
"Ministry of Industry?" Xu Wenqing was slightly startled.
Zhao Junchen nodded again and said: "The Ministry of Industry is responsible for the system of civil construction and the use of tools. In addition, it is also responsible for estimating project costs. You can ask Governor Liang to submit a report to the court, weighing the walls of each city on the three sides. The roads are in disrepair and need money for repairs. Then the Ministry of Works will send people to estimate the cost of the project. At that time, I will ask them to estimate the cost as large as possible. In this way, I can allocate more money to you. As for this It all depends on Governor Liang how he will hold the money in his hands and how he will use it... In addition, I have sent craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry to research and develop several powerful ordnance weapons. In the name of the government, all of it has been allocated to the Trilateral Military Town, and I hope you can make good use of it!"
After a pause, Zhao Junchen picked up another letter from his hand, handed it to Xu Wenqing, and said: "Also, this is a personal letter I wrote to Governor Liang. I hope you will deliver it personally. It contains some I hope Governor Liang will take my suggestion seriously."
After hearing Zhao Junchen's words, although his initial expectations were disappointed, Xu Wenqing's expression finally became much more exciting.
Anyway, this time he didn't come back empty-handed.
As Zhao Junchen said, even if the money is not much, it is better than nothing.
The principle of "having money makes things easier" is the same everywhere.
In this way, Xu Wenqing's long days of running around finally paid off with Zhao Junchen, and naturally he was thanked a thousand times over.
Zhao Junchen, on the other hand, sighed. He was not proud of himself, but felt a trace of guilt in his heart.
He understood that compared with the needs of the Trilateral Army Town, the help he provided was still too little!
This is just the help we can do without endangering our own interests and safety!
"Selfish villain... Qingliu people are right to say this about me..."
