It is difficult for a person with a dirty heart...or a hard-hearted person to become a qualified leader.
As a leader, you cannot adhere to your own likes and dislikes. What you need is to judge the pros and cons of a certain thing based on the overall needs. Therefore, many times you will be faced with the option of giving up or even sacrificing some innocent people to protect more people. Which choice is it?
Innocent people, or people who choose more?
Zhiyao rejected the proposal of a group of friends to go south, and secretly sent her husband to lead people south.
What Fu Liao has to do is not complicated. Keep an eye on Zilu, Zigong and others. Once they choose to serve other forces, it's time to take action.
This episode greatly affected Zhiyao's mood, so that she felt a little depressed in the following days.
It was not Confucius who first advocated the idea of heaven, earth, king, relatives, and teachers. In fact, "Confucianism" had related concepts very early. And the school of "Confucianism" was not founded by Confucius.
According to the three views of "Confucianism", the king is before the teacher, right? Then they chose the teacher, did they not regard Zhishen as their king?
With this happening, the credibility of Zilu and others has been ruined by the Zhishi. From now on, the Zhishi will no longer accept them, and may even kill them. The world can't say anything is wrong.
Zhiyao did not choose to kill because she felt that talents were rare. At the same time, she hoped that after this experience, she would try to fully subjugate them when they felt guilty about Zhi's family.
So, Fu Liao has another mission this time when he goes south. If Confucius is dead, he will be dead. If Confucius is not dead, he will be sent to the State of Lu to ensure that Confucius will not run around again.
Why did he do that? As Confucius sought official positions everywhere, his disciples would need to be protected at all times. There were too many things that he could avoid by staying in the State of Lu to retire.
"Speaking of which, I still have a serious shortage of people who can do the job. Otherwise, why would there be a need for this?" Zhiyao could only hold back her nausea for the sake of her dominance.
From a certain perspective, Zhiyao who has this kind of awareness is an excellent leader.
Did you kill Zilu and others, and even Confucius, all because of a moment of nausea? You felt so angry in your heart, did you gain anything after that?
"As a superior, you need to weigh who can create value. Even enemies will do their best to extract surplus value." Zhiyao told herself.
It can't be said that he endures humiliation and bears the burden, it can only be said that he is greedy for the talents of those people.
Currently, there are two people in power who are really enduring the humiliation. One is Gou Jian, who is struggling to endure the humiliation, and the other is Zhao Yang, who endures repeated questioning.
That time the Jin army was ambushed on the west bank of Shaoshui, resulting in a disastrous defeat for the Jin army. What happened?
Zhao Yang felt that even if there was a mistake, it was simply because he, as the commander-in-chief, did not notice it in advance and that the number of scouts sent out was insufficient. It was definitely not some conspiracy as others thought that led to the defeat.
But what? Who is Zhao Yang? How can he allow himself to have a reputation of incompetence? He would rather let others think that he is insidious and cunning. He has never given any positive explanation for the defeat of Shaoshui West Bank.
Even if his prestige was damaged due to that defeat, and he was even regarded as a conspirator like Luan Shu, Zhao Yang actually chose to accept it!
For a person like Zhao Yang, given his status and height, does he have a choice to become a conspirator, or is he regarded as an incompetent person? He has no choice.
"As each family strives to become stronger, the Jin Kingdom will undergo changes." Sima Ranju was very happy to chat with Zhiyao recently.
Zhiyao's mood has calmed down, and he thinks that Sima Ranju's willingness to talk freely to him about the current situation is a good trend, and it may be a good thing that "lost something in the east, and gain something in the future".
A Sima Ranju should be able to support five sub-lanes, and Sima Ranju has a strategic perspective on the current situation. As long as Zhiyao uses it well, he can also be used in civil affairs.
Knowing what the future situation will be like and making relevant preparations in advance, even taking one step further than others is an advantage, right?
"Qi is in complete chaos. Maybe it's because of this that Sima Rangju loosened his grip?" Zhiyao thought to herself.
According to Sima Ranju, the training of new armies by various Jin families was just the beginning, and they would definitely seek changes in other aspects.
Sima Rangju said: "As Rangju expected, the Zhi family will be followed closely by the Zhao family."
Zhiyao completely agrees.
The Zhao family is a family that is not afraid of others gossiping at all, especially under the leadership of Zhao Yang.
At the same time, Zhiyao regarded Sima Ranju's words as a compliment.
Zhishi is not yet the master of Zhiyao, but he is leading Zhishi's reforms in many aspects. It can be said that the measures will have far-reaching impacts. Training the new army to become a standing army is one of them. The second is to publicize the advancement of military merit and strictly implement the reward and punishment system.
.
Zhiyao smiled and said, "Zhao's family may be more forceful than mine."
After all, Zhishi must first perform meritorious deeds before receiving rewards, which is equivalent to giving and then reaping rewards.
There has been a lot of movement in the Zhao family recently. A large number of slaves have been released. They are not free, for example, they can return to their original country.
Those slaves freed by the Zhao family were allocated land and designated areas for reclamation. All the labor income still belonged to the Zhao family. And the Zhao family was responsible for their various treatments, that is, food, drink, clothing, including arrangements.
daughter in law.
You thought it was just changing the soup without changing the medicine, right? But it’s really not the case!
When a slave becomes a subject, many aspects remain unchanged. However, in terms of food, drink, and clothing, subjects are definitely treated better than slaves. Furthermore, they can get wives and seek to join other families.
Being able to switch to other families is the difference between subjects and slaves.
In fact, Zhiyao was a little surprised by Zhao Yang's actions.
It seems that no one has ever done this kind of thing: freeing slaves in large numbers? Even the very reckless Emperor Xin only reused a few people of non-noble blood. King Zhou Wen, known as the MLM Emperor, just purely deceived and used slaves. As a result, Zhao
Martingale was the first to do that.
Of course, Zhao Yang freed his own slaves. Others were surprised and probably very unhappy, but they could not interfere.
"If Zhao Yang does this, at least the freed slaves can become a real member of the Zhao family..." Zhiyao thought to herself.
What does it mean? Slaves of a certain family are no longer members of that family? Yes, but slaves will not think that they are, that is, their hearts will not be in the family. When they become subordinates, their mentality will be different.
, at least I am willing to share weal and woe with my family.
Zhiyao felt that Zhao Yang was not generous enough. While freeing the slaves, he was also dividing the land in a real sense, giving private property to those who became subjects.
Although the family seems to be losing money, the people who pay taxes are still the family. If the people who own their own private property become more enthusiastic about production, the income created for the family will definitely increase.
If you "understand brother", you can actually do something like this, for example, so and so only has the right to use the land, but not the ownership of the land.
This is what Zhiyao wants to do in the future.
Why did Sima Ranju change his attitude towards Zhiyao, or in other words, his attitude toward Di Zhi? The reason was that Qi Jinggong, who once valued him, had passed away, and then a very serious chaos broke out in the Qi State.
The benefactor passed away, friends died one after another in the civil strife, and many princes were blindfolded by their great positions. How could such a Qi country not disappoint some people? Sima Ranju was just one of the disappointed people.
However, Zhiyao was very clear. For example, Sima Ranju was only disappointed with Qi Guo, and was far from completely despairing.
At this time, Zhiyao's attempt to recruit Sima Ranju would only make Sima Ranju feel embarrassed. Waiting for the right time to recruit might succeed.
When is the time? Zhiyao is waiting for Zhong Xingyin's envoy, and will need Zhong Xingyin's cooperation on some matters.
The great chaos in Qi State was due to the fact that Xinjun Tu had no prestige at all, and then the ambitions of the other brothers were stirred up.
The person who instigated several princes of Qi to become ambitious for the throne was none other than Tian Qi, who kept jumping up and down.
Zhiyao heard that Tian Qi had won the support of many non-public nobles, and made those young masters think that the Tian family supported them.
In fact, Tian is not only jumping left and right, but also jumping in all directions, making a good tap dance.
"Is that so?" Sima Ranju didn't think Zhiyao was lying.
Sima Ranju knew that Zhiyao wanted to recruit him and would not deceive him with lies, just because lies could easily be exposed.
"The Tian family...the surname Chen is also a clan of the Chen Kingdom. Tian Qi did this for authority? The Qi clan is in power, so why should Tian Qi have the authority to do so?" Sima Ranju didn't understand why Tian Qi did this.
In the eyes of many people, even if Tian Qi had some conspiracy and succeeded, he would at best become a very powerful favorite. If he was not a member of the public clan, he would not be able to be the chief minister of Qi.
Zhiyao would not say that Tian wanted to Dai Qi. Even if he did, others would have to believe it, but people in the current era would not believe it at all.
Most of the current states in the Xia Dynasty are governed by public clans. It is strange that the Qing clan is in charge of the Jin state.
The Central Plains countries have a relatively large institutional difference from the Southern countries. This is reflected in the fact that the Central Plains princes cannot kill ministers at will, while the southern monarchs can find any reason to kill ministers at will.
The power of the public family is great, and a rebellion by a non-public family noble will be quickly suppressed. If the feudal lord of the public family causes trouble, it will be a real internal rebellion.
It is precisely because the public families of other countries have strong advantages, and the same is true of Qi State. When Zhiyao said that the Tian family had the intention to replace the Jiang family, people who heard it would not only find it unbelievable, but also find it funny.
Another point is that many countries are dominated by public clans. When they see non-nobles in other countries who want to usurp the throne, even if they had conflicts with each other before, believe it or not, they immediately put aside the conflicts and choose to help put down the rebellion?
This is the case in Ji Zhou's patriarchal clan. The overlord in each period has the obligation and responsibility to stabilize the monarchy of various countries.
"Historically, which of the three families was divided into the Jin Dynasty first, or the Tian family, which was divided into the Qi Dynasty first?" Zhiyao really didn't remember.
