After Ma Jun arrived, Liu Ming talked about his two ideas. Ma Jun thought for a moment and said: "Master, these two things are not difficult. But if you want to do them all, that's not the case."
It’s within my capabilities.”
Liu Ming was very surprised by Ma Jun's statement, so he asked: "Deheng, why did you say this?"
Ma Jun replied: "Lord, these two things are easy to say. But they are also easy. We already have the shape drawn by the lord for the horseshoe, so we just follow it. As for the bulletin board, we also have the lord's idea. As long as
Just build it with wood, it is not more difficult than making a chair. But once the horseshoe is ready, how to nail it to the horse's hooves without affecting the horse's running or making the horse feel uncomfortable is not our manufacturing department.
It can be done. And the bulletin board plays different roles depending on the content posted on it. If it is just a notice, it will naturally be done once it is posted. But as the Lord imagined, it can play a role in employing people and finding people.
To coordinate the work among the workers, it also requires the management of personnel. These all require the management of the county magistrate, etc., and the subordinate manufacturing department is even more powerless."
When Liu Ming heard this, he felt that what Ma Jun said was reasonable. So he asked Ma Jun to go back and make two appearances, and then bring them out to discuss with everyone tomorrow.
The next day, Liu Ming summoned Guo Jia, Yang Jun and other people to deal with official matters first, and then discussed the two looks Ma Jun made. Everyone was indifferent to the use of horseshoes and didn't know.
What's so good about this horseshoe?
In the end, Guo Jia believed in Liu Ming and said sincerely: "Since the lord thinks this thing is useful, we will implement it in the army for a period of time. As for how to nail the horseshoe to the horse's hoof, it will not damage the horse's hoof, so that the horse can
To run freely, we can ask the groom to cooperate with the blacksmith and do more experiments, that's it. However, although the Lord's idea of the bulletin board is simple, it is really ingenious and unfair, and the thinking is brilliant. It not only saves the crowd from hindering the flow of the city gate, but also at the same time
Our decree has been passed on. I don’t think there is anything to change. Just set it up twenty feet away from the city gate. If it is just an announcement, then forget it. For example, if it is like recruiting workers, it can be posted under the announcement.
Mark the detailed source so that you can see who the announcer is looking for. As for the intermediary mechanism for hiring people proposed by the Lord, there are not many cases where we are looking for people from each other. Now they can all be under the jurisdiction of the county magistrate. Now it will be confirmed
If things get busy and require specialized people to manage them, then it won’t be too late for us to set up a ‘servant branch’ at that time.”
Everyone here agreed with what Guo Jia said. The matter was settled like this. But just when everyone was about to disperse, someone suddenly came from outside the door and reported: "Mi Zhu, East China Sea, brother Mi Fang brought treasure to see you.
"
Liu Ming took the invitation hesitantly, thinking: Who are these Mi Zhu and Mi Fang? He didn't seem to recognize them. Suddenly, Liu Ming thought of the little girl Mi Mi, whose surname was also Mi. Could it be that these two people were Mi Mi's
Those two brothers. Then why did they come to see me today? They also brought treasures to ask for permission. So what kind of treasures did they bring? Liu Ming thought as he opened the greeting note and saw that it said "To thank Mr. Liu"
The virtue of sending his sister home, and the gift of a flying treasure - a kite. I especially present to Master Liu the complete volume of "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals" collected by his ancestors for generations. Liu Ming has read the post, and this
It was finally confirmed that Mi Zhu and Mi Fang were indeed Mi Mi's two older brothers. Liu Ming was not very interested in the "Lu Spring and Autumn" presented by the Mi brothers, but Liu Ming was interested in the two men he met yesterday.
The Mi brothers were very fond of him. He casually handed the greetings to Yang Jun and Guo Jia circulated it. At the same time, he ordered someone to call the Mi brothers to come and see him.
Liu Ming didn't know the preciousness of "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals", and it could even be said that he didn't care much about it. This may be a common problem among modern people when they treat books. After all, modern information is developed, and all kinds of books can be found and printed in large quantities.
Even in addition to the original versions, there are also many pirated books that flood the public. All of this has made people take books for granted and not pay much attention to them. Even those who originally read books carefully in the 1950s and 1960s and never folded corners.
People who cherish books when reading a book from cover to cover will look like a new book. Under the impact of the wave of pirated books, they no longer cherish books.
Although Liu Ming is like this, scholars like Yang Jun and Guo Jia still regard books as treasures, especially "Lu's Spring and Autumn", which is extensive and profound. It is the collective creation of Lu Buwei's disciples, the prime minister of the pre-Qin Dynasty, and contains eight readings and six treatises.
, the 12th century, contains the theories of Confucianism, Taoism, Mohism, Legalism, and agriculture. It is a systematic collection of many single articles of reasoning, with in-depth layers and the most coherent. According to legend, on the day when the book was written, Lu Buwei
A thousand pieces of gold were hung on the top of the city in an attempt to change a single word, but they failed. Unfortunately, later on, the First Emperor burned the books and humiliated the scholars, and returned them to heaven. Many of them were lost, and only some fragments were scattered among the people. All collectors
They regard it as a treasure and never let others see it easily. Even if they are like Yang Jun, Guo Jia, Erxue Guangji, or Cai Yong, who loves books as much as his life and has a vast collection of books, he has not collected all the "Lu's Spring and Autumn".
They only knew half a claw. Now these Mi brothers dared to offer the entire volume of "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals". How could Yang Jun and Guo Jia not be surprised and quickly asked someone to add the word "please" to their lord's order. However, just
In this way, the two people still felt that they did not pay enough attention to the appearance of this book, so they simply went out in person. They met the Mi brothers unwillingly just to show their solemnity to the book and to have a sneak peek. At this point, Guo Jia and Yang Jun
The literati's love for books is undoubtedly revealed.
But what they did made Liu Ming stunned. He didn't know why Guo Jia and Yang Jun valued the Mi brothers so much. Are the Mi brothers famous? Even those who didn't know what the Mi brothers did.
Everyone in the group was also very curious about the actions of Guo Jia and Yang Jun.
Not long after, Guo Jia and Yang Jun welcomed the Mi brothers in.
The Mi brothers who walked in with their heads held high at this time were completely different from the ones Liu Ming saw yesterday, begging for mercy for their sister and looking frightened. These two well-behaved and confident people should be the true heroes of these two brothers.
.
After the Mi brothers paid tribute to Liu Ming, their elder brother Mi Zhu said to Liu Ming: "Master Liu, we two brothers have admired you for a long time. We do not despise businessmen and travellers, and employ people based on their talents. Therefore, we have admired you for a long time and have long been willing to seek refuge with you.
Since I have no chance to meet you, my two brothers now present "Lü's Spring and Autumn Annals" to you, firstly to thank you for sending your sister-in-law home, and secondly, as a gift for my brothers to meet you. I hope you will include my brothers.
The two of you, even if my brothers are just serving as your lord's retainers and staff, they are still willing to do so."
It turns out that the Mi brothers came to Youzhou this time to do business. But more importantly, they had heard of Liu Ming's reputation for benevolence and righteousness, and they hired people based on their talents regardless of their background. Even Su Shuang
, business travelers like Zhang Shiping can be put to great use. Therefore, I specially brought "Lu's Spring and Autumn" to visit Liu Ming. If Liu Ming is really a person who can take refuge, the two brothers are thinking about finding a career here in Liu Ming.
After all, the status of businessmen is much lower than that of officials, and the Mi brothers have suffered a lot from officials, but in the end they all settled with gold. When they arrived at Youzhou, after a short visit, the Mi brothers felt that Liu Ming
Mr. Liu is so amazing. He manages the people of Youzhou so well. The market is also extremely prosperous, even worse than Luoyang, the capital. The two brothers immediately decided to join Liu Ming, so
He just bought a house in the city of Jixian County. Unexpectedly, not long after he lived there, he still didn't have a chance to meet Liu Ming. Liu Ming sent his sister back, and the family was in trouble because of Miss Mi's usual troubles.
The two brothers felt that their background was hopeless, and they were also afraid that something would happen to their sister because of this. After all, a high-ranking official like Mr. Liu has a very high airs, and his brothers cannot afford to offend him.
Sometimes they will convict someone of a crime without even asking what the reason is. Therefore, the two brothers would be so panicked. However, they did not expect that Liu Ming turned out to be an approachable person, which greatly exceeded the expectations of the Mi brothers.
In addition, it also strengthened the belief of the Mi brothers to seek refuge with Liu Ming. After Liu Ming left, the Mi brothers discussed it and felt that this was a good opportunity to seek refuge with Liu Ming, so today's scene happened.
.
Although Liu Ming didn't know about these things about the Mi brothers, he still understood the idea of the Mi brothers taking refuge in him. To be honest, although Liu Ming's current management was already on track, there were people working and managing everywhere.
, but sometimes Liu Ming still feels that there are not enough personnel. Guo Jia and Yang Jun also always complain about the shortage of talents and keep asking Liu Ming to recruit people. Now that someone has come to his door, Liu Ming is naturally happy. However, although Liu Ming treated this coward yesterday
The Mi brothers were very fond of them, and they also admired the affectionate behavior of the Mi brothers. However, Liu Ming still wanted to know what these two brothers could do, and he wanted to use this to decide how to arrange them. Therefore, Liu Ming
Ming asked with a smile: "I understand your thoughts. I just don't know what you are good at?"
Mi Zhu bowed and replied: "A certain brother has lived in the East China Sea for a long time. He is from Qu County, Donghai County (now Lianyungang City, Jiangsu Province). I am Mi Zhu, named Zizhong, and my younger brother Mi Fang, named Zifang. A certain family has been doing business for generations.
The family is quite wealthy, and both of my brothers are proficient in business and financial management. Moreover, my two brothers have also read many scriptures, know etiquette, and are well versed in strategy. They can make plans for you or govern the place."
Liu Ming was very happy when he heard this. He said in his heart: Oh, not bad. He is still a living person. He can do anything. This is a test for you. But before Liu Ming could ask any questions, Yang Jun saluted Liu Ming and said:
"Sir, I don't know something about these two of you. Is it possible for you to ask?"
When Liu Ming saw that Yang Jun wanted to ask a question first, he didn't think it was anything special, so he nodded in agreement and said, "Mr. Yang has something unclear, so let's ask first."
Yang Jun turned to Mi Zhu and asked: "Master Mi, I just heard what you said. Your family is rich. In this case, you can directly buy an official title from the court, so why do you want to join my family?" Now Yang Jun
The position he gave himself was to keep an eye on the loyalty of these subordinates for his lord, so he asked the Mi brothers why they defected to Liu Ming.
When Liu Ming heard this, he felt that Yang Jun's question made sense. So he listened carefully.
Although Mi Zhu still doesn't know who Yang Jun is, he can see that Yang Jun can speak well in front of Liu Ming. Moreover, Liu Ming also respects Yang Jun very much and actually calls him Mr. Yang. This shows that this person must be Liu Ming's.
Those who are close to you should not be neglected. So he said respectfully: "My lord, although my two brothers can buy an official position in the court, my brothers are familiar with the books of sages, how can they do this?
After buying an official position, he will definitely form a party with the person who sells the official position. Although my brother is not a sage, he does not disdain to associate with the Shichangshi who are messing with the government. And Mr. Liu built Huxiao Villa
, The four great righteous deeds are enough to be famous for thousands of years. The defeat of the Yellow Turban and the destruction of Zhang Ju are even more heroic. Master Liu's glorious deeds are widely circulated in the world. My brother took refuge in Master Liu, not for anything else, just to show off.
The best you have in mind will benefit the people of the area. Being able to follow Lord Liu will mark your name in history and bring glory to your family."
When Yang Jun heard this, he was secretly proud. His feelings were influenced by the propaganda teams he arranged in the market, and he came to join the passionate young people. Although the Mi brothers were a little more pedantic, they didn't know how to adapt and didn't want to get involved.
Shi Changshi's side, but such people, as long as they identify the lord, will not betray easily. If the talents of these two brothers are also good, they will be a pair of good helpers for the lord. Therefore, Yang Jun is satisfied
He nodded and said to Liu Ming: "My lord, these two sons are sincere in their desire to seek refuge with the lord. The lord can take them in."
Liu Ming was very happy to hear that Yang Jun was very satisfied with these two people. After all, he admired these two people. However, he still had to ask about the knowledge and knowledge of these two people. So Liu Ming nodded.
The leader said: "I already know your sincerity, and I will never let you down. I just heard that you two are proficient in business and financial management. I wonder what your opinions are on the market trade of our country?"
"
Mi Zhu understood as soon as he heard this. This was a test of his knowledge by his lord. The quality of his answers now would directly affect his brother's status in the eyes of his lord in the future. Therefore, Mi Zhu answered with great concentration.
: "The policies of the past dynasties in establishing a country have all been based on agriculture. Food is the first priority for the people. If the country does not have agriculture, the foundation will be unstable. If the army has no food, the army will be disorganized. However, all things are born with different real estate. Cattle and sheep are grown in the north.
The south produces fish and rice, the mountains produce copper and iron, and the lakes and seas produce salt. It is necessary to know that the market complements each other to benefit the national treasury. Under the state-owned farmers and the people have food, all places need to use markets to equalize their prices. Only the circulation of goods in various places
, can a country be strong and strong. Therefore, although our dynasty is based on agriculture, if we really want to be prosperous, we still need to develop markets and circulate products. However, our dynasty now has a way of doing business that is harmful but harmless.
What a benefit. It's really worrying." He couldn't help but sigh.
