After a long time, he said to the two brothers Fan Dao and Fan Jian beside him: "From now on, all family affairs will be taken care of by Dao'er. From now on, I will focus all my energy on cultivating Ju'er. I must take good care of the children from the side branches. , let them all restrain themselves and stop causing any trouble to the Fan family. If it really doesn't work, take them back and keep them under strict supervision. I would rather keep them than bring trouble to the Fan family."
"We must gradually withdraw from the affairs of the Jianghu. The Fan family should not interfere anymore. Of course, we should help those who are in trouble, but from now on, you should stop meddling in the affairs of the Jianghu. As for Jian'er, just be your official. . You should not have any more interference or interference in the Fan family’s affairs. The people of the Fan family should be dealt with in the place you govern, and there should be no favoritism. "
Fan Dao was stunned by the family head's words. After a long time, he said: "There are indeed some lawless children among the Fan family, to the point where they cannot be controlled strictly. My son will strictly restrain the children of the Fan family in accordance with his father's requirements. But father, you still need to make the decision on major issues in the family. . Even if you want to focus your main energy on teaching Ju'er, you will not delay taking charge of the Fan family's affairs."
"I'm still a little unstable, and I worry too much about some things. And now that the Fan family is getting bigger and bigger, I have to focus on branches in various places. Throughout the year, I have to travel outside most of the time. At least here at the main house , and it is inseparable from the father's supervision. If everyone takes over the Fan family now, the son really does not have the energy. In this way, the son makes the decision on small things, and the father is at the helm on big things."
Regarding Fan Dao's words, the head of the Fan family had extremely sharp eyes. He glared at Fan Dao and said, "You, that head is a few years younger than you, but his skills are much stronger than yours." . Look at him, the same Machiavellian skills have been played with great success. How many years has he been on the throne? With his background, he can finally inherit the throne, not to mention causing huge turmoil in the official circles and nobles. "
"How much criticism is there within the clan? The most important thing is that the Supreme Emperor is still alive and well. In addition, there must be a few princes dormant in the capital whose ambitions have not completely disappeared. There are still many princes in the palace. There is a virtuous concubine, even though her natal family was ostracized by that master. Now her power in the capital and palace is far less than it was before, but she is still a centipede, dead but not dead."
"According to common practice, even though he has the experience of supervising the country before, he is far from the time to sit firmly on the throne. But he dares to leave the center of the capital at this time. He is the kind of person Who dares to let go if he is not sure? He left the capital at this time because he thinks that without him in the capital, the government will still be stable and the power will still be firmly in his hands. "
"What does he rely on to be so bold? Isn't it the ministers in the court who are dedicated to serving him? Look at Fu Yuanshan and Lu Duan, plus Yu Mingyuan who was just recalled by him. These three people are in charge together. He has both civil and military backgrounds, plus Gao Huaiyuan, whom he single-handedly conquered, if some people have any ambitions and want to do something while he is away, they probably won't even be able to make a splash."
"Even the Supreme Emperor wants to take advantage of the opportunity to come out and re-uphold the government. But can Fu Yuanshan, Lu Duan, and Yu Mingyuan agree? Don't look at Fu Yuanshan and Lu Duan, they were all promoted by the Supreme Emperor. But don't forget, what really makes them After showing off the director's abilities, it is Jin Shang who holds the real power. Those in the Military Aircraft Department whom he single-handedly removed may not be of high rank, but have real power. Do you agree?"
"And now that all the military power in the world is in his hands, can Yu Mingyuan agree to the Emperor's comeback? When Yu Mingyuan and Jin Shang fought against the rebellion in Zhengzhou, he would have thought that today he would be the Privy Councilor with the power to know. When the Sima Infantry Commander in front of the Acting Palace can be said to have military power in one hand? Yu Mingyuan was simply pulled out by Jin Shang. Who else can control it except Jin Shang? "
"Without the military power, even if the Supreme Emperor comes back to take control of the government. To put it bluntly, I am afraid that even the smallest military attaché of the Eighth Imperial Guard Army cannot be transferred. Don't forget that most of the military attachés of the Eighth Imperial Guard Army are now Jinshang single-handedly brought them out in the northwest. Who else but Jinshang can mobilize those people now? With these people, even if the Supreme Emperor wants to do something, it will be impossible."
"Looking at this counterinsurgency, the entire Jiangnan war was handed over to a group of unknown military attachés. The eldest, Cao Rui, was only over forty this year. The war in the north was handed over to Yu Mingyuan, and even a supervisor We didn’t even send any troops. We dared to put half of the elites of the imperial court into the hands of one person. Who else could achieve this courage? This rebellion only caused a slight stir."
"The rebellion started before, and it seemed to be very grand, and even had the momentum to seize the country. The momentum was so fierce that I thought it was very likely that the country would change hands. But what happened? Hundreds of thousands of troops and horses were connected to Huguang South Road and Huguang South Road. Jiangnan West Road was completely stopped before they could get out. I'm afraid no one in the world thought that those raw melons and eggs in the eyes of everyone could actually be so good at beating."
"Now that the rebels are clinging to only one city, they are basically helpless. This lord was able to turn the tide in such a critical situation. Did he rely on him to personally lead the army into battle? He relied on controlling the situation. The art of people. Use Cao Rui to take charge of the overall situation in Jiangnan, and two young generals, Zhao Wuye and Guo Chen, will each be responsible for one. He personally sits in the center, first using Mingyuan and then Yang Jiyuan."
"A chess game that was almost played to death by the Supreme Emperor was suddenly overturned by him. Looking at the civil servants, he used Fu Yuanshan, Lu Mengzheng, and Lu Duan as the iron triangle general manager, and he made adjustments in the middle. In three years, there was no With the addition of a penny tax on the people of the world, and without the wanton recruitment of troops everywhere, a seemingly huge rebellion was suppressed. Although it is still lingering, no one is stupid."
"Even a blind person can see that the rebels who have been trapped in the isolated city can no longer last for many days. Now they are just lingering. What is called a general, this is called a general. What it means to dare to use people, this is called Dare to employ people. With only a few core people in hand, the entire government can be directed and controlled extremely tightly. It's really a young man."
"Don't talk about the Prince of Guilin. Even in our Fan family, your grandfather and I are naturally very discerning. But besides Jian'er and his daughter-in-law, aren't they all blind? As the successor head of the family, I have always thought Muttering. I am worried that getting too involved with him will cause irreparable disaster to the Fan family. Even for his coronation ceremony, his daughter-in-law is always allowed to attend, just to give the Fan family some room to maneuver."
"Although this man is young, he has a thorough understanding of people's hearts. He has a set of control methods that divide and conquer, and combine vertical and horizontal control. Not to mention his emperor, I am the previous emperor of the Qi Dynasty, that is, Emperor Taizong can barely be compared to him. This emperor's mental skills are considered to be the best at his level. Dao'er, I know that you are young and have made a career without relying on your family."
"Since you helped manage the family business, you have done quite well. Apart from some minor hardships over the years, it has been a smooth life, and you have become a proud and arrogant person. Your ability and vision It's not bad at all, I still have confidence in this. But when it comes to the way you control people, you are not even a little bit worse. Look at that master, what is the means of controlling people."
"Although we don't have the idea of rebellion, we can replace it. But governing a country and governing a big family are actually similar in some aspects. They both rely on people to do things for you, and rely on people to manage people for you. If things happen If you have to do everything yourself, then why does the family need so many stewards? It's like governing the world. If the emperor has to do everything himself, what's the point of raising so many ministers?"
"Dao'er, Jian'er, you all have to remember that whether you manage a family or a place, the key is to use good people. And how can this person be used well? In fact, the grace that should be given must be given Enough, when it's time to pick up the knife, you must not be vague. Take a good look at that master, and what he has done in these years, you will understand what it means to be kind and powerful."
"Both of you, you must study hard. Dao'er, especially you, must study hard. Although our Fan family is not capable of governing a country, it has become a huge family now. If everything is done If you have to do everything yourself, you will be exhausted. You must know how to use people instead of doing everything yourself. Use good people to do good things, and you can get twice the result with half the effort."
After the head of the family said this, both Fan Dao and Fan Jian almost all fell into deep thought. In fact, Fan Jian didn't really have anything to say about his father's words. He has been with Huang Qiong for a long time, and he naturally knows some things about Huang Qiong, especially in terms of employment. In terms of employing people, although he is still a little inexperienced, he is still very good.
He was the magistrate of Jiazhou, so it was naturally impossible for him to govern the place himself. To govern the local area, we rely on our colleagues, the magistrates of subordinate counties, especially the officials. The implementation of government orders depends on these people. If he didn't follow human principles, he would have been killed by those people long ago. Even if the family is helping, this official will no longer be able to do it. Not to mention being the county magistrate for three years, he got the first grade in the official assessment.
Although Fan Jian cannot be said to be a veteran in terms of playing skills, he learned a lot from his grandfather and Huang Qiong. So he is quite skillful in dealing with some things. The key is Fan Dao. Although Fan Dao is thick on the outside and delicate on the inside, he still does everything by himself. In terms of employing people, let alone his old fox-like grandfather, he is even far inferior to his father.
In terms of employment, he still lacks too much. Not only do I sometimes find myself unable to let go of some so-called face-related things, but I even often resort to indulging in certain things. When controlling subordinates, they focus more on power, but ignore the principle of equal emphasis on kindness and power. This also resulted in his low reputation among various branches. Not only is he far inferior to his grandfather and father, he is even inferior to his own wife.
Looking at Fan Dao who was deep in thought, the head of the family sighed in his heart. At the beginning, my grandfather insisted that Fan Jian should inherit the position of head of the family. He commented that Fan Dao was too dogmatic and rigid in his work, and his wrist flexibility was too poor. As a subordinate, he is quite good at charging into battle, but as the head of the family, he is still far behind. I still don’t understand something. He believes that they are all his own sons and cannot favor one over the other.
Looking now, my father's original idea was still right. As his eldest son, he is indeed quite capable and handsome, but he is still too immature when it comes to taking charge of the overall situation. The problem is that being the head of the family is not just about charging into battle. The key is to have a broad vision, be flexible enough, and know how to control people. But in these aspects, Fan Dao is still a little inferior.
Even worse than his wife. If the old man hadn't taken the risk of causing turmoil in the Fan family before leaving, he had thoroughly cleaned the Fan family from top to bottom. Not only did they drive out some ambitious people, they even did not hesitate to make them disappear completely. The Fan family would have been in chaos within itself without the imperial court taking action. Now looking at Fan Dao, including myself, maybe it's really not a good fit.
