"What can I do?" Alibai's expression was filled with surprise.
As expected of a teacher, there is indeed a way!
Fang Zhengyi said thoughtfully: "Don't be anxious for the moment. Since your father Khan has assigned you a position before leaving the city, the room for you to perform has been fixed. So if you want to go further, you have to ask others Fight, or beg.”
"how do I say this?"
"For example, managing the city is not your job, it should be the job of the civil servants in the government. Then if you want to show your talents, then find the responsible official and ask him to share part of the work with you. Then you can Relying on ability to gain a position, it’s that simple.”
Alibai smiled reluctantly: "The teacher is right, but how is this possible? This is the case in every country where everyone has his own job, and no one will agree."
Fang Zheng raised his hand and said seriously: "Wrong! Big mistake! Planning is planning, reality is reality. Where have you seen plans that are the same as reality? Which country has no laws and fewer people break the law? The most important thing in life is It just requires wisdom to be flexible.”
"Why is Master so successful in the court at his current age? In a word, he is stealing a job!"
"You have to steal jobs from the Ministry of Works, jobs from the Ministry of War, and even jobs from eunuchs!"
"You also take the eunuch's job from the teacher?" Ali Bai took a breath.
"That's right, everyone likes anyone who has a job in their eyes. There will definitely be many veterans in the Jin Dynasty. They are old and do not seek fame or profit. If you go and ask for trouble, stop the burden and save them. Isn't it wonderful that I'm so impressed and even sold you a favor? No matter how bad your governance is, is it possible that you can still bring down the city?" Fang Zheng started talking eloquently.
"Then what should I do specifically?" Alibai asked.
"Based on your current experience... I'm afraid you won't be able to get a job. The only way I can do this is to help you." Fang Zheng shook his head and said, "Let me ask you first, what do the nobles of the Jin Kingdom think of you? What do you think of Dajing’s specialties?”
Ali Bai said: "Dajing is rich in products, and many objects are of excellent craftsmanship. In addition, the imperial master has advocated learning the culture of Jingguo in recent years. Naturally, people in our court are very fond of Dajing's products. Tea, porcelain and other items have always been the favorites of the nobles. "
That's good, it seems that follow-up arrangements should be much more convenient...
Fang Zhengyi nodded slowly, then faced Zhou Tie and said: "I will serve you with pen and ink!"
After the pen and ink were presented, Fang Zheng pushed it in front of Ali Bai: "Write down all the powerful ministers in the city on this piece of paper, and I will visit them one by one for you. You will always gain something."
Alibai grinned and started writing with a pen.
It's so considerate. The teacher is so considerate.
If I had met the teacher earlier, I would have become famous today!
After he finished writing, Fang Zheng took the list and looked at it carefully.
Seeing about twenty or thirty names on it, he nodded with satisfaction: "I will go out and visit them tomorrow, I'm just afraid that I have something to do for you, but you won't be able to take on the big responsibility."
"Disciple, you must work harder!" Ali Bai puffed up his chest, "But what should I do?"
"You? You are doing your own thing right now. Don't you have two thousand soldiers and horses? Before I finish the matter for you, you can train with peace of mind. Don't underestimate these two thousand people, this is you You must hold them firmly in your own hands as the basis for success!”
"If these two thousand people can make you use them like an arm, then nothing else will be difficult for you."
Alibai hesitated and said: "Teacher... I didn't have much experience in commanding troops at first."
"This matter is simple. If you want to convince others, it is nothing more than establishing prestige and giving adequate compensation. If you can do these two things, then everything will fall into place." As soon as Fang Zheng finished speaking, he pointed at the unfinished food in his hand. Bread: "The simplest thing is to take eating as an example. The soldiers usually don't eat very well, so you can feed them in different ways. I will give you the recipe for this bread later."
"After eating, they will fall in love with you. In addition, you should always walk in the army. There are only two thousand people. Write down all their names! Choose the most inconspicuous and popular soldiers. , call out their names from time to time, and encourage them, and then you don’t have to work too hard yourself, and the people below will actively encourage you.”
"Finally, give them some military pay, just a little higher than other armies. Your people must be the envy of others."
"The people at the bottom are the easiest to satisfy. With your status, just looking at them is a reward. If you can call each of them by name in public and give Shan additional military pay, it will be rain from heaven. You treat them A little better, they can rip your heart out for you."
Yes, that seems to be the case. How could I not think of it?
Alibai seemed to have understood clearly, with a satisfied joy on his face: "Teacher, what you said is great! What about the specific military training matters?"
Fang Zhengyi smiled and said, "It's easier. Let them practice hard until they are unable to stand up and their minds are empty."
"At this time, you have to instill ideas in them, so that they can further understand your kindness and hope to be loyal to you. It is useless for the teacher to tell you more about the details, but I have people here who can lend them to you."
"who?"
"Zhou Tie and Jin Yiwei were all taught by him. If he can help you, wouldn't you get twice the result with half the effort? Jin Yiwei's military regulations can also be applied to your subordinates."
Ali Bai said hurriedly: "Isn't that internal information?"
"What kind of internal information! I'm not inside anymore, do you think I can return to Dajing?" Fang Zheng's face fell, "Besides, this is for the army, and what I am good at teaching is individuals. Now you Being a teacher means we share weal and woe. Only when you are good can I be good, so just teach."
"Teacher's kindness will never be forgotten by my disciples!" Alibai stood up and wanted to bow.
Fang Zhengyi quickly supported him: "Absolutely not, thank you after I finish the job. If I mess up, what will I have to face? There are no absolutes in everything, and I will also fail sometimes. .”
"You go back now. Go to the army and memorize the names of every soldier under your command. Come tomorrow and take Zhou Tie to the army to help you train. You can ask him to assist you with the specific arrangements. I will help you outside, We will definitely gain something if we work together inside and outside."
"In addition, I went to help you get a job as a teacher. This matter can only be mentioned in passing. When you meet other officials in the court, you must not mention this matter, as well as other people's opinions of you. If someone is unwilling To help you, you must not show any complaints or dissatisfaction. You must remember this, remember it!"
"I'll keep it in mind, teacher, please don't worry, I'll go now." After Ali Bai finished speaking, he ran out of the room in a hurry.
Seeing him leaving, Fang Zheng made arrangements: "Zhou Tie, you go out and help me buy some things in the afternoon. Go to the clothing store to buy a few sets of clothes commonly worn by the nobles of the Jin Kingdom. And buy some specialty snacks that are most eaten by the locals. Tomorrow I’m about to go out to visit the officials of the Kingdom of Jin, please make more detailed arrangements.”
Zhou Tie said in confusion: "Master, you are going to pay a visit to the Jin people and prepare the Jin country's specialties. What are you going to do? Are you really going to help him live?"
"Get it! I have other plans. Remember to help him control his troops... Only when your side is stable can we have a chance to control the whole city."
