"The abilities of Xiao He and Cao Shen are obvious. Fan Kuai can become the lord's bodyguard. These can be put to use immediately. As for Liu Bang, Xia Hou Ying, his king Ling Zhou Bo and others, although they are tough-minded people, they are also It still needs to be cultivated.”
After a dinner, Zhang Cang gave his own evaluation.
"After I have a husband, I don't need to use my brain anymore." Zhao Si nodded.
Zhang Cang's evaluation was very pertinent. As county officials, Xiao He and Cao Shen had already accumulated a lot of grassroots work experience and academic knowledge. What they lacked was the space to flex their muscles.
As for the remaining group of people, whether they are princes, generals, ministers, or the founders of the Han Empire, for now they still need some training.
"How do you think these nine people should be placed?" Zhao Si asked.
Although Liu Bang was the founder of the Han Empire, to be fair, Zhao Si felt that there was no need to guard against Liu Bang.
Now history has changed, the Qin Dynasty did not die without its second generation, the First Emperor was at the peak of his power in the Spring and Autumn Period, and Liu Bang's biggest dream was by no means to unify the world.
Even in the original history, when the Qin Dynasty fell apart, Xiang Yu and Liu Bang just responded to the situation. Neither of them ever thought about rebuilding a unified empire.
If Liu Bang really had such ambitions, he would not have needed Xiao He and others to advise him and be vigilant after entering the customs.
However, after all, the eight people in Peixian County were from the same hometown and had very good relations with each other. They were a natural group of interests. Zhao Si had to follow Zhang Cang's advice and take precautions to prevent them from getting into a group in the future.
"My lord, are you worried about them hugging each other?" Zhang Cang asked with a smile.
Zhao Sitan nodded openly. There was nothing to avoid. He could be so frank even in front of Liu Bang and his party.
The Qin Dynasty also strictly implemented the emigration system and the avoidance of official residence.
"They are starting from humble beginnings, so it is the most normal thing to stick together." Zhang Cang shook his head.
"My lord, the most important thing now is to satisfy their desires so that they can use them to the best of their ability." Zhang Cang said.
"How to be satisfied?" Zhao Si asked with a smile.
"It's nothing more than Qian Quan's name!" Zhang Cang said softly.
"Liu Bang, at the time of the trial, the six people, Fan Kuai, Zhou Bo, Xia Houying, and Lu Wan, were not from very good backgrounds, and their families were not very well-off. For example, Liu Bang, who was nearly fifty years old and unmarried, was already very embarrassed. The Lord treated They should reward them with more gold and silver, so that they can get real money, which can improve their family situation and settle down in their homes. Naturally, they will have no worries in their hearts, so that they can calm down and study with peace of mind, so that their potential can be stimulated. " Zhang Cang said without thinking.
Zhao Si nodded and said: "As for fame, as long as the matter of becoming my disciples is publicized, they will not lack fame in Peixian County. Although they have great potential, they suffer from lack of accumulation. With fame and wealth, power and You can wait and don’t rush to give it to them too quickly.”
"That's exactly the truth!" Zhang Cang nodded with a satisfied smile.
In the past, I had always disliked that Zhao Si's men captured too few followers, but now it was better. Zhao Si immediately caught nine, and Zhang Cang now didn't mind too few.
Mainly because of the nine people Zhao Si captured this time, none of them was fake.
For people like Zhang Cang, the eight people in Peixian County, who are still in their infancy, have no way to hide in front of him. After a drinking game, and today, the eight people in Peixian County are in a state of sudden change. Uneasy, it was too simple for Zhang Cang to give a rough summary of their talents.
It was precisely because of this that Zhang Cang reluctantly felt a little pressured.
Now there are nine more people at once, all of whom are either talented or have extraordinary potential. Zhang Cang believes that it is time to teach Zhao Si some skills in controlling people.
Zhao Si was not a fool. He could feel what Zhang Cang meant, so he followed Zhang Cang's words and asked, "Then how should Xiao He, Cao Shen and Wang Ling respond?"
"Xiao He and Cao Shen are officials. In addition to salaries, officials have some other income. I don't think they like gambling or luxury. After so many years, their families will always save some property. It won't be too bad.
For people like them who have outstanding talents, the current situation of being trapped in the position of officials is the most urgent thing to change. Their abilities only need simple training before they can be entrusted with important tasks. Therefore, for The Lord can reward them with less money and recommend them to become Langguan.
Firstly, their official positions were promoted, secondly, the Langguan had the right to participate in and discuss government affairs, and thirdly, the Langguan was subordinate to the Langzhongling, and the things they had access to were what they as officials could not access, and they needed to learn. "Zhang Cang said.
"It seems that sir has a high opinion of Xiao He and Cao Shen." Zhao Si smiled and said.
"Wang Zuo is so talented, but he lacks the guidance of a famous teacher!" Zhang Cang sighed quietly.
"Both of these two people have a lot of experience, especially Xiao He. I asked him a few questions during the dinner, and he could answer them fluently. Even if it was a very unfamiliar law, he could respond immediately. It can be imagined that , as an official, he has completely digested and kept in mind all the knowledge he has access to. Such a person is similar to Chen Ping. How talented he can be can no longer be measured by how much he has learned.
What kind of position he can be in, what kind of information and knowledge he has access to, and what kind of power he has are the key to limiting them.
If you put him in the position of county magistrate, he is already very qualified. If you put him in the position of county guard, he will be qualified for the post of county guard in less than half a year. If you put him in the high position of Jiuqing , he will be able to figure it out in less than three to five years. If he were put in my senior brother's position, it probably wouldn't take long for someone like him. "Zhang Cang said thoughtfully.
"What about Cao Shen?" Zhao Si did not expect that Zhang Cang would speak so highly of Xiao He just through a simple banquet.
But if you think about it carefully, it only took eight years for Liu Bang to become the founding emperor of the Han Empire. Within these eight years, Xiao He's position also rose, and he finally became the founding prime minister. However, there was never any mistakes and he was able to do well. He is qualified for his job, and Zhang Cang's evaluation is indeed not an exaggeration.
For someone like Xiao He, what can limit him is not his talent, but the size of the platform.
"Cao Shen..." Zhang Cang pondered for a moment, shaking his head and laughing.
"He can probably do everything Xiao He can do." Zhang Cang said.
"What about the royal tomb? How should it be treated?" Zhao Si continued to ask.
"Wang Ling is a powerful local in Peixian County. Their family has no shortage of money. As for power, they also have no shortage of small powers. For him, the lord should show more closeness to him and let him follow the lord. If possible, the lord can go to the Wang family in person tomorrow to show his kindness. In this way, Wang Ling will follow the lord wholeheartedly and risk his life for the lord." Zhang Cang said.
Regarding the royal tombs, we cannot just look at the royal tombs alone, but at the whole family.
As a local powerhouse, what the Wang family lacks is a step for the overall advancement of the family.
Zhao Si only needs to visit the Wang family in person, and the Wang family will be full of face in an instant.
As long as Zhao Si can get close to Wang Ling, even if Wang Ling is unwilling to go through life and death for Zhao Si, the Wang family will force Wang Ling to go through life and death for him. For such a powerful person, personal will is not that important.
That is to say, the local tycoon of the Wang family is really too small. If they were a real noble, when Wang Ling took refuge with Zhao Si, they would even be willing to act as Zhao Si's pocketbook, let alone Zhao Si's salary. Throw coins like crazy for Zhao Si.
For them, seeking short-term gains is no longer important. What is important is how to keep up with Zhao Si's pace so that Zhao Si cannot do without them and follow Zhao Si until the end.
"I've been taught a lesson!" Zhao Si nodded.
"In that case, I'm going to make preparations for your lord tomorrow." Zhang Cang nodded.
It is true that Zhao Si arrested someone today, but this was just a matter of process. He came over to take a look at the work environment and meet his colleagues.
You still have to put it back the next day. No matter what, you have to give them a certain amount of time to deal with household chores and settle down with their loved ones.
The First Emperor's drive would not stay in Peixian for too long, and he had to make the place beautiful no matter what.
What Zhang Cang has to do is prepare preliminary rewards for these nine people.
Zhao Si nodded, indicating that Zhang Cang could do whatever he wanted.
A long time ago, Zhao Si handed over the financial power to Zhang Cang.
Zhao Si himself is a typical person who can feed one person and the whole family is not hungry. His biggest expense... well, actually Zhao Si himself has no expenses. He is with the First Emperor every day. Basically everything he does is reimbursed at public expense. His money accumulates A lot has been made, and currently it is mainly used to pay wages and rewards to the diners.
As for how much Zhang Cang spent, Zhao Si never asked. Zhao Si was not a Pixiu and could only get in and out.
Now team building and some financial needs are all decided by Zhang Cang.
After Zhang Cang left, Zhao Si looked at Zhang Cang's back and fell into deep thought.
Zhang Cang, it’s really useful!
Today's teaching has indeed benefited Zhao Si a lot.
He has always viewed the Peixian small group as a whole, but from Zhang Cang's perspective, the Peixian Tiantuan group is not actually so inseparable.
On the contrary, they are somewhat distinct.
From a macro perspective, their classes are quite different, but from the perspective of the small ecological circle of Peixian County, they really have all three religions and nine streams.
"It's no wonder Zhang Cang advised me not to worry about their grouping..." Zhao Si shook his head.
In history, they were able to unite closely because of external factors, but the situation is different now. They will definitely unite together. This is human nature, but they may not be as closely united with Liu Bang as Zhao Si worried. around.
Because now the person who actually pays the benefits is not Liu Bang, but Zhao Si.
"So from this point of view, my worries are unfounded. If I am even afraid of the natural unity of the country where I was born, it would be too ridiculous."
but……
Thinking of Zhang Cang's evaluation of Hao Qiang, Zhao Si fell into deep thought.
Powerful people really cannot be compared with individuals.
So from this perspective, Jiahu is about to pass through Xiangcheng.
Is it possible to make some contributions from the old San San Bo?
Determined to restore the country or a bright future?
The Xiang family actually retained a lot of heritage and clan members, unlike the Zhang family who only had Zhang Liang alone.
Can Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu really represent the will of the entire Xiang family?
Zhao Si thinks this is impossible. In history, Xiang Bo saved Liu Bang and was not punished much afterwards. From a certain perspective, the Xiang family is not monolithic.
"A big family...if there are radical factions, then there must be surrender factions."
"Not to mention, in this case..."
Zhao Si rubbed his slightly sleepy eyes.
"Xiang Liang has no children. Logically speaking, after Xiang Liang's death, the position of the head of the family should fall to Xiang Bo's lineage, but Xiang Liang made a clever move and brought his eldest grandson Xiang Yu with him to raise... And this is what I can do Take advantage of it.”
