Wei Chen recently performed the tasks assigned by Zhu Yuanzhang, and he really did his best.
Zhu Yuanzhang saw this in his eyes and remembered it in his heart.
He wanted to give Wei Chen an official position, but Wei Chen performed secret missions, which were completely different from other people's military exploits.
Zhu Yuanzhang still needs to think carefully about how to give Wei Chen credit.
If you want your horse to run happily, you must give it more grass.
For the rebel generals and ordinary rebel brothers, he made rewards and punishments clear, but for Wei Chen, he didn't do enough.
"Wei Chen, thank you for your hard work!"
After Wei Chen heard what Commander Zhu Yuanzhang said, he felt that his sweat was not in vain.
"It's not hard work. It's all thanks to the commander-in-chief's ingenuity that Wei Chen can return safely!"
Not only Wei Chen, but also Xue Gang in the future, and there must be many more. Zhu Yuanzhang needs to think about these carefully.
Zhu Yuanzhang is not a stingy person, but he understands that it is true to reward diligence and punish laziness, but everything must have a degree.
This is very critical.
Blind rewards are absolutely not advisable. Although Zhu Yuanzhang now has some wealth, he can't stand the crowd!
Wei Chen handed over the results of his investigation to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang was not surprised when he saw it. After all, Li Shizhen was born more than a hundred years later.
It is not surprising that the Lee family does not practice medicine now.
It seems that he has to think of another way, but there is no rush in this matter and he can take his time.
Zhu Yuanzhang asked Wei Chen to go down to rest. This time he specially gave Wei Chen a long holiday. We will discuss how to reward him later.
As the leader of a force, Zhu Yuanzhang will be the leader of a country in the future. The most important thing is that a bowl of water should be balanced. This is the most basic attitude.
Those who have merit must be rewarded, and those who have made mistakes must be punished. This is easy to say, but it is not easy to do.
Nowadays, military achievements on the battlefield can still be quantified, but there are also many things that cannot be quantified, so Zhu Yuanzhang had to find ways to solve these problems.
He wanted to formulate such a system. For example, if a rebel soldier heroically killed the enemy on the battlefield, after he came back, he would know at a glance what kind of rewards he should receive according to the detailed system of military merit.
There is also the need to develop overseas trade, connect the world, and other aspects that can be quantified. These are all directions that Zhu Yuanzhang needs to consider.
Zhu Yuanzhang must be careful not to worry about the lack of power but to worry about inequality and the failure of the wall. Zhu Yuanzhang must guard against the slightest change.
Especially the generals on the battlefield. If Zhu Yuanzhang acted unfairly, once something hurt a certain general and let that general become a beauty in anger, the loss would be too great. This must be avoided. .
Zhu Yuanzhang now not only has to make up for his shortcomings in Jinling City defense and other aspects, but also thinks in advance how to make profound improvements in other systems to adapt to this general development.
This is quite important.
Zhu Yuanzhang did not dare to be careless about this!
In ancient times, the Three Kingdoms accidentally lost Jingzhou, etc. There are too many lessons.
Things that you think are foolproof may cause you heavy losses just because of a little thing.
Ancient books record that two peaches can kill three people, so don’t underestimate it!
Alas, Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out.
In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang had an idea. What people think about is nothing more than fame and wealth.
He can assign more levels to the merits. For example, he can divide the merits into 18 levels, and each level can be divided into several levels.
In this case, it can play a quantitative role, but every step must be carefully considered.
How to do this?
The more Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it, the more he thought about it.
Suddenly Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up. There were three cobblers and Zhuge Liang. If he couldn't figure it out himself, he could ask others to do it.
Zhu Yuanzhang quickly found Liu Bowen.
Xu Da, Tang and the others have rushed to the front line.
These matters must be discussed with Liu Bowen first.
Li Shanchang has also been very busy recently, because after Zhu Yuanzhang issued Mingwang gold banknotes, many people used Mingwang gold banknotes to pay taxes. This provided Li Shanchang with a lot of convenience.
For example, silver coins will basically not be lost. Mingwang gold coins occupy a much smaller area and can be stored in the Jinling branch.
But there are some things that he has to find a way to deal with. Therefore, Li Shanchang has been very busy recently.
The emergence of a new thing is inherently like this, and it cannot be smooth sailing.
But after straightening it out, it can get better and better.
"Bowen, there is something we need to discuss. Look at our power now. It is becoming more and more powerful. We are conquering cities and territories, and the military merits of the soldiers at the front are also constantly accumulating. How to evaluate military merits? This is a big problem. What do you think? Woolen cloth?"
After Liu Bowen listened, he nodded.
"The commander-in-chief is right, this is a big problem!"
Zhu Yuanzhang continued, "Military achievements are okay, but the most important thing is that people who do other jobs now, such as those who do logistics support like Mr. Li, and those who do intelligence work, etc., they also serve the war. But they didn’t go to the battlefield to directly kill the enemy, so it’s very difficult to assess their merits!”
"That's right. What the Marshal said is true. I think we can do this. It's just a matter of honor but not salary!"
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he felt that Liu Bowen's idea was very reasonable, and it somewhat coincided with his own ideas!
"Bowen, please elaborate. I think what you said makes sense."
Liu Bowen went on to say, "You can assign many levels to them in terms of military merit, and then there must be strict restrictions on the rewards of money. They can't just give them thousands of gold or a hundred gold. If there are too many rewards, their role in the future will be more and more difficult." It’s small, but this meritorious service can be set higher, and the motivational effect of honor is infinite. In this way, the soldiers will have endless motivation to improve!”
Zhu Yuanzhang thought, what is this called? Do heroes think alike?
He just thought this way, Liu Bowen also said this, it seems this is a good way!
"Where's Bowen? You go back, think about it carefully, and get me a charter as soon as possible. Also, for example, how do you evaluate the merits of a counselor like you? You have to write it down for me. Let's bring a bowl of water. Ping, everyone must be worthy of it, especially Sir, the credit for Sir's plan is very great!"
Liu Bowen was also deeply moved after listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's words!
In fact, everyone has fame and fortune in their heart, and they don’t want to be second to others.
Although Liu Bowen couldn't say it with his mouth, he certainly thought so in his heart.
When he heard that Zhu Yuanzhang actually considered his contribution, Liu Bowen was also deeply encouraged!
"As you command!"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Liu Bowen and left as if he was very happy.
After a while, Zhu Yuanzhang finally figured it out. Everyone is like this. Zhu Yuanzhang thought to himself, what kind of credit should he give himself? Oh, forget it, just forget it!
