"Lord, what happened just now? What did you say to that brat?" Wang Yu walked out of the study in silence. Although everyone was doubtful, it was difficult to ask questions, and they finally left the study.
It was far enough away that the conversation in the study could not be heard. Taishi Ci finally couldn't help but asked.
Taishi Ci's impatience asked everyone what they were thinking, and everyone looked at Wang Yu.
Everyone heard what they just said. What the two of them said was like military code words, like Jianghu incision, and they couldn't understand it at all.
Wang Yu seemed to be in a good mood, and did not mean to show off, and replied easily: "It's very simple, I think he is a talent, and I want to keep him here. But he doesn't have a good impression of me, and he has a lot of opinions on Qingzhou's new policies.
.If we have a conflict of opinion, of course I have to persuade him, and then I persuade him again and again, and he succeeds. Well, it cannot be regarded as a complete success, at most it is only temporary."
"..." Everyone looked at each other, and then thought about it carefully. The general process seemed to be like this, but the question is, how did all this happen? Why did that brat suddenly put down his arrogant face?
, has he become a good baby?
Wang Yu saw everyone's doubts, but was unwilling to answer. Instead, he turned to Mi Zhu: "Zizhong, if others don't understand, you should have some ideas, right? Since he won't leave, I plan to let him be your servant first."
The assistant for a while."
"Chen..." Mi Zhu was startled, and the thoughts that she had just sorted out suddenly became confused, "Lord? Isn't this something bad?"
"There's nothing wrong with it." Wang Yu waved his hand, "You should have noticed that this guy is very thoughtful and has a photographic memory. Although he still lacks some experience, he is already good at document processing and analysis.
It compares to many adults. In addition, he is a little hostile or unconvinced towards me, wouldn't it be good to let him help you fill in the gaps?"
"Having said that..." Mi Zhu looked bitter and depressed.
This young man is not generally difficult to serve. He has a lot of opinions, but he is also knowledgeable and able to memorize them. He quotes scriptures in a set way, which is what the lord is capable of. He can settle the matter as soon as he makes a move. Let him take charge of himself.
Assistant, the Commercial Department, which has just been put up, is falling apart in the blink of an eye.
Wang Yu said with relief: "Don't worry. This is only temporary. This son will be of great use in the future."
"My lord has your destiny, and I have no objection." Having said that, Mi Zhu had no choice but to agree, but Tai Shici on the other side was seriously dissatisfied.
He muttered and complained: "Brother Zizhong, my lord is just enigmatic and enigmatic, but why are you like this? Please, if you want to speak, please speak Han Mandarin so that I don't understand you at all."
"You guys just love to talk." Everyone laughed after hearing this. Mi Zhu laughed and cursed. Then he explained simply: "As the lord said, this kid is quite talented. He had argued with me for a long time in the study.
, aiming at the current ills. Every time he hit the mark, I couldn’t argue. My lord just made a bet with him tit for tat..."
"Really?" Taishi Ci patted the back of his head and asked doubtfully, "Didn't you say that planting trees doesn't count?"
"That's just a metaphor. It can't be counted." Mi Zhu explained in more detail: "However, if it extends from this, a new bet has arisen... The lord compared Qingzhou's business and politics to trees.
I believe that as long as the governance is done correctly, even if there are mistakes at the beginning, they can be corrected in the future, just like a tree with spiritual consciousness."
"Then the evidence later..." Shi Tao listened more carefully than Tai Shici and had a clearer understanding of what happened. He knew that the evidence Wang Yu later produced was the key point.
"In the past, Zou Ji satirized the King of Qi and accepted advice, which made Qi prosperous. Today, my lord is governing in Qingzhou, and he has the same style... From the time the list was announced to the present, countless opinions have been received from various places. Shuzhi recently
What I am busy with is the work of filtering out opinions. I got them from him. There are no duplicates or unclear ones. They are all targeted opinions..."
Mi Zhu explained: "Business politics is an unprecedented initiative, and most businessmen are well-informed and eloquent, so they get many opinions, many of which are correct, and some are fallacious, but
It is thought-provoking. My lord believes that in terms of business construction, as long as you open up your opinions, accept them with an open mind, and study them carefully, you can formulate business policies that are most suitable for the current situation."
"That's it." Everyone suddenly understood.
Zou Ji's allusion to the King of Qi's acceptance of remonstrance dates back to the Spring and Autumn Period.
Zou Ji was a minister of the State of Qi and a handsome man. Every morning when he got up, he would tidy up his clothes, look good in front of the mirror, and then ask his wife or servants: Is he the most beautiful man in the city? His wife is not stupid, so of course she has to answer
Yes. Later, when a guest came, he asked the same question, and the guest replied that he was more handsome.
As a result, later he met a handsome guy named Xu Gong from the same city, and was immediately outclassed. Feeling ashamed, he decided to help him. So he ran to see the King of Qi, talked about his affairs, and finally told
King Qi: I have been deceived for so long. Your Majesty, you are more noble than me, so you must have been deceived for even longer.
King Wei of Qi was in power at that time, and he was also a master who knew the elegant meaning of Xian song. When he heard this, he understood and issued the king's order: Ministers and officials, those who can face the mistakes of others will be rewarded; write a letter to remonstrate.
Those who are in a low position will receive the middle reward; those who can slander and discuss matters in the city and court and hear the ears of the few will receive the lower reward.
Then the palace became lively, which is how the idiom "the crowds are crowded" came from. After a few months, there were a lot less people. After more than a year, even if someone had an opinion, they didn't say anything. Then the state of Qi became
Stronger.
Wang Yu's order to disclose government affairs sounds similar to this allusion, and everyone will understand it as soon as they hear it.
"So that brat knew about the lord's ambition and was convinced? Well, this is quite a story." Wei Yan said with some reluctance.
He felt uncomfortable all over when he thought about working with that young man who he didn't like, especially since Wang Yu said he wanted to make great use of this person, which made him feel even more uncomfortable.
"It's still far away." Wang Yu said regretfully: "Now it's just a bet. We won't know until it is verified in the future. Even then, it is still unknown whether we can convince this person."
As he spoke, Wang Yu was secretly rejoicing. Fortunately, Zhuge Liang was only twelve years old now, so he could still fool him and exert a subtle influence. If this were the adult version, as long as his ideas were different, he would not leave at all.
This time, let alone being impressed by my own words, I gave up my original intention of finding fault and left.
The current win over Zhuge Liang can only be said to be a good start. After the initial shock, the headache is still behind. However, let him find faults and find thorns in his own territory.
It is better than letting him take refuge in the service of other princes, go against himself, work hard and die.
Wang Yu waved his hand and concluded: "In short, Zizhong can let it go for the time being and wait and see what faults he finds again, just for reference. In addition, you should also take a good look at the collected opinions. Those suggestions that are effective Those who have opinions will be recorded to prepare for the establishment of a chamber of commerce in the future."
"Lord, don't worry." Mi Zhu bowed and obeyed.
Others were confused after hearing this, but they had no intention of asking again. The new term "chamber of commerce" seemed to be related to business and politics. Why did they ask if they were not doing their own business?
Wang Yu clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Okay, it's almost dawn now. Let's just wait a little longer. After midnight, I'll go to meet the other two... By the way, it's so late, but the two women are... Where did you go?"
The last sentence was obviously meant for the Mi brothers. The two brothers looked at each other, and Mi Fang replied: "I dare to tell my lord that the papermaking workshop now operates overnight, using the three-shift system you mentioned, lord. , noon, night, day and night, but the workers only work for four hours..."
"Huh?" Wang Yu was greatly surprised.
During the Hebei War last year, due to the huge amount of paper armor used, although the materials were easy to find, the workshops and workers were not enough. When Mi Zhu apologized, he proposed the concept of assembly lines, three shifts and other future generations of industry. Mi Zhu had heard of it, and it was the same If I found a treasure, it is said that I didn't sleep all night, and the next day I came up with a feasible plan and implemented it in the workshop.
The war was in full swing at that time, and Wang Yu had no time to pay attention to these small things. He only knew that the supply of paper armor had finally caught up, and Mi Zhu's side should have achieved some results. But he did not expect that this system had been set up by the Mi Zhu brothers. Customization has been implemented until now.
"Is the amount of paper used so much now?" Businessmen are chasing profits and will produce as much as they can when there is a market. This is not surprising. But the problem is that after the war is over, the army has a demand for transitional equipment such as paper armor. It is already very small, and with wars in various places, the demand for stationery such as paper should not be very large.
"It didn't happen before, but recently..." Mi Fang looked hesitant to speak. Wang Yu frowned subconsciously. Mi Zhu saw that something was wrong and quickly interjected: "There are several reasons. One is that there is a rumor circulating. Said: Someone outside is studying and imitating Qingzhou paper, and I heard that it is close to success, so I plan to increase shipments before then; secondly..."
He hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said: "There are also rumors that behind the merchants who imitate paper, there are several princes..."
"Princes?" Wang Yu was stunned for a moment, his heart moved slightly, and asked: "Could their purpose be paper armor?" China is worthy of being a big country of copycats in later generations. It turns out that this tradition has existed since the Han Dynasty?
"My lord is wise." Mi Zhu secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Wang Yu didn't look anxious, and she spoke fluently again.
"I thought that since they are imitating paper and making paper armor, let's take advantage of it... Even if they succeed in imitating Qingzhou paper, without mass production, their craftsmanship and cost will not be as good as those of Qingzhou workshops. Now the rivers are smooth and transportation The cost is also low, why not take the opportunity to make a lot of money from them? So before the master comes back, I ordered the workshop to increase production..."
As he spoke, he felt uneasy in his heart. What he did made sense from a business perspective. However, if one took into account the general trend of the world, it could easily be regarded as greedy for profit and to support the enemy. Although he was very interested in Wang Yu was confident that the other party could understand his painstaking efforts, but when things came to a close, he was still a little uneasy after all.
"That's it..." Wang Yu thought for a moment, and then he finally figured it out. Then he laughed suddenly, patted Mi Zhu on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Zizhong, Zizhong, you are indeed my Guan Zhong and Fan Li.
!Okay, very good, just do it your way!" (To be continued)
