Chapter 45 Pragmatic Emperor (Part 1)

After Gao Mo made the recommendation, it was Gao Xiaozhuang's turn, but Gao Xiaozhuang only recommended one person with a pretty good name, Gao Fu. Gao Pingshi's first reaction when he heard this name was: Oh, he's just not that handsome.

Coincidentally, Gao Xiaozhuang also did not avoid relatives in his family affairs, and this rich man was actually his third uncle.

Gao Xiaozhuang is a son of the Gao family, as is his third uncle Gao Fu. To put it into perspective, after Gao Xiaozhuang's great-grandfather was killed, the entire family is a son of the Gao family.

This relationship is a bit far-fetched: when Gao Xiaozhuang's great-grandfather was five years old, he was sold by his family because his family was poor and suffered a disaster. At that time, Gao Xiaozhuang's great-grandfather Gao Kui was a doctor in the Ministry of Industry's Yu Heng Qing Li Division.

, is not too small to say the least. It is roughly equivalent to the director of a certain ministry in later generations. If he is posted outside, even if he is transferred at the same level, he will still be the prefect.

Although Mr. Gao Kui was a Beijing official at the time, he was also in charge of Jizhou Iron Smelting. Gao Xiaozhuang's great-grandfather happened to be bought by Gao Kui when he was supervising the official iron smelting in Jizhou. After that, his family continued to work for several generations.

Taking Gao as his surname, he became the son of the Gao family.

Gao Fu was not familiar to Gao Pragmatic and could only be introduced by Gao Xiaozhuang. According to Gao Xiaozhuang, his third uncle was "handy". When he was young, he first learned carpentry and was good at carpentry work. Later he learned to be a mason and performed well.

He is also extremely outstanding - in March of the 45th year of Jiajing reign, after Gao Gong became the Minister of Rites and became the Bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion, he presided over the construction of the large ancestral hall rebuilt by the Gao family.

To put it simply, this is an engineering talent. The reason why Gao Xiaozhuang recommended him is: since the young master will start mining in the future, and mining will inevitably require digging holes, so people like his third uncle Gao Fu will definitely be needed.

This reason is very good. Gao Pragmatic always likes his subordinates with professional expertise. As for Gao Fu's loyalty... several generations of family members have had children, and they can preside over the construction of the Gao family's ancestral temple. Do you still need to doubt it?

Gao Jingshi calculated in his mind, Gao Mo recommended three, Gao Xiaozhuang recommended one, and including the two of them, there would be seven people in the "Gao Family Gang" under him. Even if there were three

The people on Shen Yuan's side were not enough to completely return to their hearts for the time being, and he himself was enough to control the situation.

Besides, by then Gao Mo will still have the basic weapons of the servant guards, so even if something happens here, he will be able to control the situation completely.

Gao Jingshi had both worked as a leader in his previous life, and had also been a small leader himself. He knew very well what the people below would think. Sanshenyuan was almost an industry that fell from the world, and it had its own way of doing things.

"Organizational system", and now with the arrival of Gao Pragmatic, a new group of management will be added.

If they all "work" in the same place, the new management and the old management will naturally form two factions. This is a normal situation. Only those who are pragmatic will not be crazy and have to find ways to "unite" them.

, that is a thankless task.

His way of dealing with it is to try to keep the two factions in a delicate balance: for example, the three original stewards of Sanshen Garden, because of their local advantages, their popularity in the local area is definitely not comparable to that of Gao Mo and Gao Xiaozhuang.

, so Gao Pragmatic directly joined five new "Gaojiabang" management members, including even a serious young master of the Gaojia.

Although Gao Guoyan's father, Gao Guoyan's second uncle, Gao Du, joined the military, Gao Guoyan was, after all, the legitimate "young master of the Gao family". When this name is put here, the identity of master and servant is clear at a glance.

He himself is not a piece of shit, and none of the three top stewards in Sanshenyuan can hope to get a hold of him.

The status gap in feudal society is often so difficult to make up for and equalize—unless you have the ability to pass the Jinshi exam and come back.

Gao Mo and Gao Xiaozhuang also assigned tasks and recommended talents. Gao Jingshi asked them to go down and think about the next errand. Tomorrow, one of them will be responsible for recruiting bodyguards, and the other will organize soap production.

Everyone has to think about how the work will unfold. Of course Gao Pragmatic has a relatively complete idea in his mind, but after thinking about it, he decided not to talk about it yet, but to see what Gao Mo and Gao Xiaozhuang plan to do.

This is not a matter of being pragmatic and lazy, but a little bit of the so-called leadership art that he realized in his previous life: don't give your subordinates clear instructions on what they should do, but let them just follow your baton.

Succeed easily, otherwise even if this person is originally capable, sooner or later he will be destroyed by you as the leader.

On the contrary, as a leader, you must be able to fully delegate power and let your subordinates think and practice on their own. What the leader has to do is to clarify the general direction and help them hold the rudder in case they take a detour.

, it’s enough to reverse the direction. Only in this way can we train our subordinates to grow - wasn’t this the same routine for training cadres in organizations in previous lives?

After all, only Gao Pragmatic knows how extensive the industries he may be involved in in the future will be. If he does not train as many talents as possible from now on, will he have to personally manage so many industries while being an official in the future? Even if

He was too exhausted to do it.

Although he wanted to save Ming Dynasty, he did not intend to be like Zhuge Kongming who died young.

Of course, this does not mean that Zhuge Liang does not understand the importance of cultivating talents. In history, has Zhuge Liang really not been able to discover talents? Dong Yun, the minister, Fei Wei, the minister, Yang Yi, Ma Su, who joined the army, etc., these talents are all

As an auxiliary material for the country, the existence of the Shu Kingdom in the weak position of the Three Kingdoms is itself a manifestation of its domestic stability and unity. Otherwise, how could Wei and Wu not find opportunities for so long?

But no matter how powerful Zhuge Liang is, he is still a human being and has his limitations. His own versatility determines that he is more suitable for management, but not for decision-making. He likes capable people with many talents, but does not like to use impure morals.

But a man of great power.

The idea of ​​employing people with both talent and virtue was very popular in the era of peace, but it could not become the dominant idea of ​​employing talents during the Warring States Period, because no one is perfect, and no gold is pure. However, looking at the later period of Zhuge Liang's rule,

, the idea of ​​virtuous first and then later became the dominant factor in his employment, and its shortcomings naturally gradually emerged.

For example, among the original talents in central Sichuan, Liao Li, who considered himself only as talented as Zhuge's deputy, was placed in an idle position for a long time; the capable minister Li Yanyun, Wen Yunwu, was demoted due to grain transportation and was never used again; the general Wei Yanjiu

What's even more interesting is that just because he was "naturally rebellious at the back of his head," he couldn't use it to its full potential, and was eventually forced to rebel shortly after Zhuge Liang's death.

Furthermore, it is difficult to list specific standards for things like virtue and talent. In most cases, they can only be judged by personal standards. Joining the army, Ma Di, the Ma brothers became officials with their reputation, and later joined the army to offer advice, which was highly recognized by Zhuge Liang.

, As a result, in the battle of Jieting, one step was lost, the whole thing was lost, and the entire Northern Expedition was defeated.

Therefore, a highly pragmatic talent training plan is more likely to start from a low position, start with small things, look at ability first, and then consider morality. If someone under you may be talented, then give him a chance to take charge of something.

Gao Pragmatic analyzed the person's character, ability, character, etc. from the handling of the errand, and then considered using him in the future, or considering cultivating his tendencies.
