Lan Yu, the last famous general of the Ming Dynasty.
In fact, Lan Yuren is quite miserable. His brother-in-law is Chang Yuchun, and his niece is the current prince.
No matter how you calculate it, he can be regarded as a relative.
Unfortunately, he could only live in the shadow of famous generals for the first half of his life.
On top is Chang Shiwan, the military god of the Ming Dynasty, and behind it is Xu Da, the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty.
After Lan Yu finally got rid of these legendary figures, he finally got through.
But because of his personality, he ruined himself.
Lan Yu is arrogant and domineering, and takes credit for herself.
Especially after defeating Bei Yuan, he became extremely proud.
He doesn't know how to restrain himself when doing things, and he doesn't know how to behave as a person.
Even so, Zhu Yuanzhang always tolerated him.
However, until something happened, Lan Yu was completely pushed into the abyss.
In the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu, Prince Zhu Biao died suddenly.
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang still tolerated Lan Yu as before. Even when he put on airs in front of him, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say anything.
But since knowing that Zhu Biao would die suddenly, Lan Yu was already a dead person in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes.
It can be said that if Zhu Biao has no accident, the blue jade will still be a big killer weapon prepared by Zhu Yuanzhang for Zhu Biao, but if Zhu Biao has an accident.
Then Lan Yu will be buried with him as soon as possible.
And Chu Ze is in a similar situation now.
It can be said that what Zhu Yuanzhang wants to do is to tie Chu Ze's life to Zhu Biao's body.
When one is prosperous, both are prosperous; when one is lost, both are harmed.
...
"Actually, I don't know much about things like government affairs. After all, I haven't seen it before."
"But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seemed to have said just now that in the royal family, courtiers are called ministers. In fact, from another perspective, a dynasty is the same as a shop."
"A boss, a group of shopkeepers, and then a group of clerks."
"And now, the boss wants to raise the wages of these subordinates, but he also feels that the wages used to be this small, and now they have suddenly increased. Will these subordinates be grateful? Don't be kind enough to increase their wages then. Not only are my employees not grateful, they actually feel that the boss is easy to bully."
"After I got used to the current salary, I felt that the current salary was too low and wanted to increase it again!"
"It's so repetitive and greedy. This is definitely not what the boss wants to see."
"So, my suggestion is actually to keep the salary at the original state and not to increase it, or even think about it. Let all my subordinates know that the salary is only so much and that it is impossible to increase the salary."
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was still looking forward to Chu Ze's opinion on this matter, heard Chu Ze's words.
He, who had closed his eyes to rest, could not help but look at Chu Ze with a slight frown. For a moment, he was a little confused as to what kind of medicine this guy was selling in his gourd.
He was the one who mentioned that the salaries of the officials in the Ming Dynasty were too low, which caused them to become corrupt due to the pressure of life, and he was repeatedly banned.
Now he planned to raise the salaries of these ministers, but he was the first to object.
Isn't this just a joke?
"Haha, you know how to find a way to solve the problem! Since you don't know what reason to use to increase the salary of your subordinates, why don't you just not increase it?"
"According to what you said, if we face a powerful enemy invasion in the future and we cannot defeat it or don't know how to fight it, should we just surrender?"
After Lan Yu on the side heard Chu Ze's words, he who originally had some expectations for Chu Ze could not help but feel a trace of ridicule at the corner of his mouth.
He doesn't like Chu Ze.
It was not all because Chu Ze was unknown and incompetent that he was so inexplicably chosen by His Majesty.
More importantly, it was because Lan Yu felt that she had been tricked by Zhu Yuanzhang.
Lan Yu was a little unhappy with this marriage from the beginning, but due to Zhu Yuanzhang's relationship, he couldn't say anything more.
But, as a matter of fact, he didn't have a good look towards Chu Ze.
Even in Lan Yu's opinion, this Chu Ze may have some special relationship with His Majesty.
Although he didn't go to verify it, in Lan Yu's opinion, Chu Ze was a second-generation ancestor.
For such a person to be his son-in-law is simply a disgrace to the family.
And after hearing Chu Ze's opinions on how to deal with the problem just now, Lan Yu confirmed her suspicions.
Although this guy has a good skin, he is definitely a good guy on the outside but a loser on the inside.
After coming to such a conclusion, Lan Yu's eyes became even more unkind when she looked at Chu Ze.
"Chu Ze, don't be ridiculous, this is serious business..."
Zhu Biao, who originally wanted to seize the opportunity and let Chu Ze perform well in front of Zhu Yuanzhang and Lan Yu, couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth slightly after hearing what Chu Ze said just now.
That's right, even if he thought that Chu Ze must have a great talent in his heart, he also believed that Chu Ze's words just now were completely nonsense.
"Your Highness, do you think what I just said was nonsense?"
Facing the accusations from others, Chu Ze shrugged indifferently.
"Originally, the salary of your subordinates has been set. No matter what reason you use to change this amount, it is meaningless to those subordinates."
"Because in the eyes of most people, it is natural to work for others and be paid by others."
"And the amount of this reward is not that important on this issue."
"The root problem is that the vast majority of subordinates feel that the money they receive is what they deserve."
"If you increase their wages, it may make them happy for a while. But it won't have any effect."
"Human greed is like rolling rocks on a high mountain. Once it starts, it will basically never stop."
"Therefore, increasing salaries for my subordinates actually has no real meaning."
“Rather than adjusting what they think they deserve, add a piece of something special.”
"Like, reward!"
"Set up a large number of reward projects, such as the attendance of the ministers, how many days they work per month, and when the number of days is full, they can get a perfect attendance reward, and the reward is how much."
"The establishment of this reward is to encourage employees to go to work on time and not procrastinate. And as long as they work on time, they can get a bonus."
"When it comes time to pay wages, those who have not received the money will still be laughed at by others to a certain extent."
“In this way, we can also supervise our subordinates to work actively.”
"In addition to this, we can also set up some awards where honor is higher than money."
"For example, projects such as the best courtier of the year, the best courtier of the month, the honest and upright courtier, etc."
"People in the world are chasing profit, but they are also chasing fame. If you let them gain both fame and fortune, these people will naturally work hard for you."
