Zhuge Liang's chuckle was a thunder in Wei Ba's heart. This was not because of his admiration for Zhuge Liang, but because of his disappointment.
The reason why Wei Ba dared to fall out with Yang Yi and immediately came to see Zhuge Liang was because he believed that Zhuge Liang was a leader of this era who valued new technologies. As a leader in the future, he would invent the wooden stream ox horse, design the Zhuge Liannu, and improve armor, so that
Later generations still regard the armor he invented as a precious gift. He has such a vision and can see the advantages of the new accounting method. He also has such a measure. He puts aside his personal prejudices and stands firm in the contest between him and Yang Yi.
On his side.
Unfortunately, all his hopes were wiped out by Zhuge Liang's chuckle.
Wei Ba was silent. He raised his head and looked at Zhuge Liang's face carefully, hoping to see some surprise or surprise in his eyes. Unfortunately, he didn't see anything. Instead, he caught the flicker of Zhuge Liang's eyes.
Unhappiness. The feeling of unhappiness came and went even faster. It only lasted a moment, but it was deeply engraved in Wei Ba's heart.
He was very disappointed. It turned out that the real Zhuge Liang was not only not a god, but also far from the wise leader he imagined. At least for now, he was not the wise man in his mind. No wonder his father Wei Yan admired Zhongzong when he mentioned Zhuge Liang.
There are some who don't take it seriously.
Wei Ba sighed, and many thoughts flashed through his mind. At this moment, he had two choices: One way was to explain the beauty of the new accounting method in detail, so that Zhuge Liang could understand the importance of it as much as possible.
Sex, another way is to give up the explanation and endure the tone to avoid conflict with Zhuge Liang and further intensify the conflict.
Wei Ba was weighing the pros and cons in his mind, but he kept looking directly at Zhuge Liang. This was a very rude behavior. Zhuge Liang was very unhappy, but he hid it well and kept the smile on his face gentle. Zhuge Qiao
But he became a little impatient and coughed: "Brother Wei, what's wrong with you?"
Wei Ba was startled and then came to his senses. He lowered his head and fiddled with the account book in his hand. The moment he lowered his head, he suddenly made up his mind. I can't retreat now, with my father's temper.
, how could he back down in front of Yang Yi? He had placed so much hope on the new accounting book, how could he just give up? If he gave up like this, not only would dad's face be lost, but the momentum I had so easily created would also be lost.
No more, dad will never pay attention to me or look at me again. And Mrs. Zhang will return me a hundred times the humiliation I inflicted on Manager Zhang and Huan'er. From now on, I will be beyond redemption and will never be able to turn around again.
Chance.
A useless bastard has no right to be arrogant.
As for whether it will aggravate Zhuge Cheng's fear of the Wei family, that is a matter for the entire Wei family, and it is also a long-term matter. If I don't live well, what's the use of the Wei family living well. What's more, the Wei family has already attracted enough attention.
People are suspicious, and my concession that takes the overall situation into consideration cannot solve any problem at all, except that it will bring endless disasters to myself.
"Prime Minister, I was distracted just now and I apologize for my rudeness." Wei Ba showed a shy smile and bowed slightly: "Prime Minister, this new accounting method was discussed between my father and son and the sages of Hanzhong. Several
County officials have tried it out and most of them think it is pretty good. They all say that this method is clearer and simpler than the existing accounting method. Just like Tieyi, which is being widely used in Hanzhong, although the cost is higher, the efficiency is very high.
.They all said that it is worth spending some time to get familiar with it.”
"Really?" Seeing Wei Ba's firm eyes, Zhuge Liang responded lightly, took the account book from Wei Ba and turned it over. Wei Ba looked at him motionless, his face was calm, but his mood was very nervous. He couldn't help but
He held his breath, lowered his head slightly, and watched Zhuge Liang's expression with the corner of his eyes.
Zhuge Liang was very calm. He was flipping through the account book with his left hand, and his right hand was moving from time to time, as if he was counting something. He read quickly, and in a short time, he flipped through the account book from beginning to end. After reading, he
Pushing the account book in front of Zhuge Qiao, he tapped it with his fingers: "Bosong, take a look at it too."
Zhuge Qiao took the account book, flipped through two pages, and raised his eyebrows: "Father, as Brother Wei said, this accounting method is better than the current method. I think it is worthy of promotion." He paused and then said:
"Of course, Yang Canjun's considerations are reasonable. Changing the accounting method rashly without consultation with the Prime Minister's Office is somewhat unconventional and will bring some trouble to the unified accounts of the Prime Minister's Office."
Wei Ba was a little nervous. Of course he knew that it was not appropriate to change the accounting method without the consent of the Prime Minister's Office. The accounting method involves a country's finances. For the Prime Minister's Office, which coordinates the national finance, there is a standard and unified
The format can minimize trouble and improve efficiency. If everyone comes up with a new method, the Prime Minister's Office will be unable to do anything. The reason why Yang Yi dared to reject him without even looking at it was because of this.
In other words, Zhuge Liang may adopt his method, but he will inevitably lose in the dispute with Yang Yi. More importantly, Zhuge Liang's actions are procedurally reasonable and there is nothing to say about it.
, Wei Ba is just dissatisfied, and he can't find any reason for dissatisfaction.
Zhuge Liang slowly closed the account book. "Wei Ba, this accounting method is the same as that of Tie Yi. It was your idea, right?"
Wei Ba was silent for a moment and nodded.
"I have already seen Tie Yi, and the effect is indeed good. I have ordered a large number of them to be built. The higher the grain output in Hanzhong, the smaller the food difficulties we will have in the Northern Expedition. This is a good thing." Zhuge Liang thought for a moment and then said: "You
Although doing this is a bit rash, it is excusable. Yang Yi has his own reasons for rejecting you. I can’t tell who is right and who is wrong in this matter. What do you think?"
Wei Ba raised his eyebrows, nodded, and shook his head. Zhuge Liang was a little unhappy when he saw him acting like this. As a prime minister with a lot of things to do, he was willing to take the time to meet Wei Ba and then affirmed him in person. This was extremely disappointing.
It's easy. But Wei Ba still refuses to give in. Do you have to say that you are right and Yang Yi is wrong? When he thought of this, the smile on Zhuge Liang's face faded and became serious.
"Prime Minister, I'm not saying there's anything wrong with Yang Canjun's approach." Wei Ba suppressed his nervousness and said word by word: "I think Yang Canjun's old-fashioned thinking is wrong. Now that the world is divided, I am a big man.
With the land of one state, against the powerful Cao Wei, with a weak enemy and a strong enemy, we can win by surprise. How can we achieve our goal if we follow the ancient times and remain unchanged?"
Zhuge Liang's eyes tightened.
When Zhuge Qiao saw that Zhuge Liang was silent, he immediately picked up Wei Ba's words and said: "Brother Wei, what you said is wrong. Wei is strong and I am weak. There is indeed nothing wrong with this. But specifically for this Northern Expedition, the strength of our army is that of Cao Wei."
The military strength in Guanzhong cannot be matched, and the situation cannot be generalized. Moreover, changes are constantly changing, and it depends on the time. Just like when Emperor Gao sent troops to Chencang, once Guanzhong is captured, the strength of the weak will change..."
Zhuge Qiao talked eloquently, talking a lot of truths, and also included many allusions and classic meanings that Wei Ba didn't understand. It seemed that the strength of Shu Han in the Northern Expedition was greater than that of Cao Wei, but in fact he denied what Wei Ba said.
Surprise and victory. Since he is a master, of course he can win without surprise. Therefore, the reason Wei Ba used to accuse Yang Yi is not valid.
Wei Ba listened quietly, and Zhuge Liang was also listening. He looked at the eloquent Zhuge Qiao, and then at the silent Wei Ba, and couldn't help but feel a little happy. Zhuge Qiao is already twenty-four years old this year. Four years ago,
As soon as he took charge of the government, he consciously let Zhuge Qiao participate in the political affairs of the Prime Minister's Palace. After several years of experience, Zhuge Qiao's ability and knowledge have improved greatly, and he has become outstanding among his peers. Now he and Wei Ba
He had the upper hand in the first meeting. Even though it was insignificant, it was a little comforting.
When Zhuge Qiao finished speaking, Wei Ba started to laugh, very easily, very calmly, and very disdainfully.
"Brother Zhuge's idea sounds beautiful."
Zhuge Qiao's face suddenly became very embarrassed. It sounded beautiful, but it was like saying he was an armchair strategist. He glanced at Zhuge Liang, who nodded slightly, and Zhuge Qiao cupped his hands and said with a smile: "How dare you invite Brother Wei?"
Advice.”
Although Wei Ba is not good at maneuvering and socializing, it does not mean that he is an idiot. What Zhuge Qiao said just now can be said to be Zhuge Liang's thoughts to a certain extent, and even the thoughts of the entire Prime Minister's Palace. They think this is
During the Shu-Han Northern Expedition, Cao Wei had the upper hand in the face of insufficient preparations, so he could defeat them overwhelmingly. However, in fact, apart from a slight advantage in military strength, the Shu-Han had no guarantee of victory.
This mentality is a very dangerous one. At present, this is the psychological basis for the strategic differences between Zhuge Liang and his father Wei Yan.
"Although I don't know much about military affairs, I heard that the more than 100,000 troops brought by the Prime Minister to Hanzhong, except for the newly recovered barbarian Qiang army in Nanzhong, were mostly new soldiers. They had never killed anyone or passed the exam.
Recruits who have been wounded." Wei Ba smiled faintly: "With all due respect, I don't think our army is stronger than the Wei army, so I don't think victory is within reach. Therefore, we can be content with the status quo and stand still.
"
Zhuge Qiao was speechless and looked at Zhuge Liang for help. Zhuge Liang stroked his beard, thought for a moment, and said calmly: "The strength of a soldier does not depend on how many battles it has experienced, but on the aspirations of its people. Wei Ba, you
I am still too young to know that Cao Wei usurped the Han Dynasty. Although they seemed powerful, they had actually lost the hearts of the people. Mencius said: He who wins the hearts of the people will win the world. The military command said: Ten thousand people will die, and they will run rampant in the world. In the past, the Xuanyuan clan ordered tens of thousands of soldiers to control the world.
Four directions, within the sea, not to mention our army with hundreds of thousands of people, following the right path to confront the guilty? Although I dare not say that everything will be defeated, it will not be that difficult. Although Cao Wei is strong, he is just a man waiting to die.
That’s all, there’s nothing to be afraid of.”
Although Wei Ba had long expected that most of what Zhuge Qiao said came from Zhuge Liang, he was still shocked when he heard Zhuge Liang say these words himself.
Is this Zhuge Liang, who is so wise that he is almost a monster?
Is this Prime Minister Zhuge who can defeat Sima Yi in the future?
He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world?
Thousands of people must die and run rampant across the world?
You are such a romantic prime minister. You are even more important than Ma Su. No wonder you will take Ma Su as your confidant and entrust you with important responsibilities.————Please support!
