"I...I'm..." Guan Ning was startled and almost jumped up. His usual clever eloquence was gone. He stumbled and changed his self-identification several times in a row, but he didn't say anything useful.
He was frightened.
He was not frightened by Wang Yu's questions, but by Wang Yu's straightforward and casual attitude.
From the steward's mouth, he had already learned in detail about the relationship between Liu Bei and Xu You from their contact to testing each other, and finally through a discussion on world affairs, the relationship between guest and host was confirmed.
The fact that my father was able to attend respectfully was a sign of Liu Bei's win over, and it was a very high standard of treatment. A lot of preparations had been made in advance, so it was a very grand event.
This is not because of his younger brother. The news that his younger brother is listed in the Hussar list has not spread. In the eyes of outsiders, he is just a young man who has read books and has good martial arts skills. For Liu Bei, who is alone, the resources provided by Guanjiazhuang are the most important.
The most important thing is that my father enjoyed such treatment. Later he regretted it and thought it was a rare commodity, so he tried to use it as a way to get ahead.
Because of this understanding, before he came, he was already prepared to leave his things and leave. Who would have thought that not only would he be summoned directly, but Wang Yu would also be in front of him so casually?
The two military advisors discussed the general trend of the world.
Is this considered a secret with Wen?
But what is there about yourself that is worthy of being valued?
Guan Ning was puzzled. She felt that her head was full of paste and sticky, and she couldn't think of a single thought.
It wasn't until Wang Yu's last question that he finally understood. The other party seemed to want to use this to test himself. But he had never even thought about what he just said, so how could he explain it?
?
"No idea?" In the moment of embarrassment, Wang Yu's considerate next question came, and Guan Ning nodded repeatedly as if he had been granted amnesty, with sweat dripping down his forehead.
Wang Yu was somewhat disappointed. After all, he was the brother of a famous general, so he should be a little different from ordinary people, right? If he knew strategy or the art of war, he should have some ideas after hearing these words just now.
He did not regard these things as secrets at all. In ancient times, the speed of information transmission was slow and the range of transmission was limited, which resulted in the limited vision of many people. People who have advantages in this regard can easily regard people with higher intelligence than themselves in the overall view.
Get rid of it, just like those people who went abroad in the 1980s and 1990s. They can just talk about a few new things and fool others.
Wang Yu believes that formulating a strategy is the simplest thing. With enough information, anyone who has a little research on the art of war and strategy can formulate a strategy that is not too outrageous.
What is really difficult is putting the strategy into practice.
Take Zhuge Liang's grand pair as an example. Just hearing his description may make you think it's very powerful. But knowing this, can you annex Jingzhou, invade Western Shu, and then compete for the world? Obviously not.
To make a big thing out of a snack, annexing Jingzhou is a big proposition. In fact, even Zhuge Liang himself failed to complete it;
We were relatively well prepared to take Yizhou, but we still fought fiercely and lost many troops before we successfully captured it;
After the formation of the Three Kingdoms, General Yi was ordered to attack Wanluo with troops from Jingzhou, and the main force left Hanzhong to attack Guanzhong. The grand strategy of separate advance and combined attack also involved large-scale coordinated operations.
This strategy was not fully implemented at all. In fact, Guan Yu's attack on Xiangfan and Liu Bei's attack on Hanzhong should have been carried out under the guidance of this strategy.
The Battle of Hanzhong started in the 22nd year of Jian'an and ended in the 24th year of Jian'an. The Battle of Xiangfan started in the 24th year of Jian'an, but it failed to achieve mutual support and mutual response at all. In the end, it was fought by each
It was defeated, or in other words, Guan Yu sacrificed himself and Jingzhou to coordinate Liu Bei's offensive in Hanzhong and eliminated the threat of Cao Cao's counterattack in Hanzhong.
Let's take Xu You's strategy of plotting against Runan as an example. Everything else was false. What really impressed Liu Bei was the intelligence network he had and his connections with Yuan Shao's old troops. With this relationship, Liu Bei had the opportunity to learn from Cao Cao.
It's still a long way to go whether he can get the capital to seize food and other benefits. A pragmatic person like Liu Bei will definitely not think so much.
Guan Ning couldn't answer this question. He could only say that this person had not studied the art of war and strategy. Wang Yu would not deny him, and then asked another question: "Shopkeeper Guan, what are your plans for the expansion of Gaotang City?"
What do you think about this matter?"
Jia Xu looked at Guan Ning curiously, but didn't find anything surprising about this person, so he turned to look at Tian Feng, wondering why Wang Yu had such a reluctant posture, as if he was determined to find out the advantages of this person.
.
Tian Feng shrugged, saying that he didn't know. After thinking about it, he lowered his eyes slightly and landed on a book with fresh ink, thus signaling to Jia Xu.
This thing is the file of the new staff in Qingzhou. Jia Xu can understand at a glance that there must be a shortage of people somewhere. This little lord of his family is very paranoid in some aspects. For example, he believes that pragmatic talents among merchants are better than celebrities.
Medium and many.
Jia Xu does not really agree with this rule, but it cannot be denied that businessmen do have more experience in dealing with people than ordinary people. And these people are usually very careful and perform tedious but not difficult tasks, and the results are indeed far greater.
I am used to being above the celebrities.
The two of them had long been accustomed to Wang Yu's style, but Guan Ning was extremely uncomfortable with it.
Although he had already thought about giving up business and joining politics, and was trying to find out the details of the shogunate's assessment, he was still stunned by Wang Yu's three direct questions.
"Maybe that's the way to ask." Wang Yu was not angry, waved his hand, and changed the question: "Shopkeeper Guan, people outside say that you have mastered the secrets of this general, so you have taken the lead in the construction of the new city.
Chance. But the matter of the new city was supposed to be discussed with Yuan Hao two days ago, but it is the twelfth lunar month when you build the shop. Isn’t this the power of foretelling the unknown?"
Wang Yu's tone was very calm, but there was a hint of questioning in it. With his majesty, even if there was only a hint of questioning, it was shocking enough to Guan Ning's ears. After all, he was just a man with a very low social status.
Businessman, how can he resist this?
Guan Ning quickly explained: "Please don't misunderstand me. I just heard that you will gather with the heroes of Hebei Province on the Lantern Festival. I thought that during this time, soldiers and civilians from all over the world would gather, so there must be a place to relax. Later I heard that you
The Marquis has ordered that all corpses must be buried ten miles away from Gaotang City. I wonder if the monarch has the intention to move the government to Gaotang and expand Gaotang City, so..."
"Sure enough, it's you!" Wang Yu smiled while stroking his hands: "Have you ever told others about it?"
Guan Ding felt uncertain and replied hesitantly: "It's just some old friends..."
"Very good." Wang Yu praised without thinking. This time he learned from the previous experience and stopped asking general questions. Instead, he asked relatively specific questions: "What about the outer city of Xincheng?"
What are your thoughts on the layout of shops and residential buildings?”
"In my humble opinion..." Guan Ning finally understood that the Lord did not intend to raise an army to accuse him, but was simply testing his own talents. After thinking about this, he had nothing to hesitate, so he cheered up and answered fluently.
: "What the prince wants to expand is not a city in the usual sense, but more like a huge camp."
"Not bad." Wang Yu smiled and nodded.
He has not studied history, but he still knows a lot about the talents of the Three Kingdoms era, but he just can't think of anyone who is good at engineering construction. But he also knows that ancient Chinese construction technology is quite superb and there are many things to pay attention to.
, site selection, layout, road paving, building construction, and even sewer issues must be considered.
This is no joke. It is completely different from ancient European cities. Wang Yu has read literature and found that as early as the Shang and Zhou dynasties, Chinese cities had considered urban drainage issues.
This is a university question, Wang Yu knows nothing about it, and Tian Feng and Jia Xu can't help much. And building a city is not just a game. Although Wang Yu doesn't plan to build Gaotang City like Luoyang, he still can't help.
I don't want it to look like a big village.
Therefore, talents in urban planning are urgently needed to be discovered. As far as Wang Yu knows so far, ancient architecture and architecture are mixed together. If you can find the legendary Nanhua Old Immortal, you will probably be on the right track. In addition, Wang Yu
I really don't have a clue.
Tian Feng did provide some information. Several architectural masters he knew were now in Chang'an. One of them, Wang Yu, had also met him. He was one of the five envoys sent by Dong Zhuo who were almost killed by Yuan Shao.
Craftsman Wu Xun.
This is a bit far away. Even if we send people to catch up with Xu Shu and ask him to find a way to contact Wu Xun, it will take half a year to come and go. It is too slow.
Therefore, Wang Yu planned to dig a similar one by himself first, and discuss with the construction craftsmen in the general's mansion to build the city first.
It happened that Guan Ning came to apply and said that he had a younger brother named Guan Ping. Of course Wang Yu knew who Guan Ping was. When he was happy, he asked someone to check it out. Unexpectedly, he found that Guan Ning himself was quite a bit...
Meaning, that’s why today’s exam was held.
At present, it seems that the situation is developing for the better.
"If this is the usual way of building a city, I dare not speak nonsense, but since the Lord wants to keep everything simple, I can say a few words. Guanjiazhuang was once destroyed by floods and later rebuilt, all thanks to a passing man
The Taoist priest gave me some advice, and I have some experience in this regard..."
"Since there is no need for a city wall, the city does not need to stick to its shape. It can be built according to the terrain, in an arc shape, and expand outward layer by layer... The advantage of this is that it can leave room for future expansion.
If there are too many people, they will be piled up one after another..."
"There is no need to demolish the city wall. We only need to widen the city gate to facilitate entry and exit. We don't even need to fill in the moat. Since there is no need for troops to enter or exit, we only need to build a few wooden bridges. It is beautiful and saves construction time...
"
"There are also buildings in the city. There are a lot of trees nearby. If you just want to take possession of it and don't emphasize the beauty, you can build it with the simplest method... I know a way. As long as you have the raw materials, you can build a large building in one day.
The wooden house is spacious inside, but not very good-looking on the outside. Also..."
When Guan Ning said this, he was out of control.
Jia Xu and Tian Feng looked at each other from time to time, neither of them could imagine what a city built like this would look like. Wang Yu listened with interest. He couldn't be more familiar with a city built like this.
Is it the second or third ring? Sure enough, there are talents among the people.
This discussion took more than two hours.
After Jia Xu heard the beginning, he yawned and left. He was busy and had no time to chat here. Tian Feng was more dedicated, but halfway through, Guan Ning talked about how to select wood materials and sewers.
Topics such as how to dig and the problem of water collection that Wang Yu mentioned completely dispelled his thirst for knowledge, so he left.
Tian Feng was kind enough not to yawn, but just cursed a few times in his heart, feeling that Wang Yu was not doing his job and wasting time in building these trails.
Wang Yu completely ignored the whereabouts of the two military advisors. He was completely immersed in the development of the urban management brigade. When the snow melted, farming would begin. However, in several counties as battlefields, people's livelihoods were severely damaged and they lost their homes.
The people may be distracted from repairing their houses.
By using the method provided by Guan Ning to build a house, you can avoid these worries.
At the same time, the newly built urban management brigade also has a source of income, which is well integrated into the New Deal, and a package of issues such as city construction can be solved.
As for artistry, Feng Shui, etc., they were not considered by Wang Yu at all. What he wanted to build was not a famous city through the ages, but a real center of business and culture.
Practical is the best.
"Very good. From today on, you will be the first captain of our Qingzhou Urban Management Team." Wang Yu patted Guan Ning on the shoulder and encouraged him happily: "Captain Guan, do your best!" (To be continued. Please
