Zhu Nao

After letting Wei Yue go, it's getting late, and it's time for Zhu Nao to go back.So the three of them left the teahouse, Jing Zhe escorted Zhu Nao back to the residence, and Pei Ziqi went back to the residence by himself.

Just now when there were other people around, Jing Zhe didn't dare to ask more questions.It wasn't until the rest of the people had left that Jing Zhe couldn't help asking: "Master, just let Wei Yue go away like this, don't you need to send someone to watch them?" Easy, he is a little bit reluctant to release someone so rashly at this moment.

Zhu Nao said: "Don't doubt the employing person, don't use the suspicious person. Let them go."

Jing Zhe struggled and said: "But..." He hesitated for a moment, but swallowed the remaining half of the question.He knew that Junao's decision must have his reasons.

Hearing his hesitation, Zhu Nao looked back at him and rubbed his hair: "If you don't understand, think about it yourself. If you still don't understand, just ask."

Jing Zhe scratched his head, thought for a while, and asked again: "I understand the reason why you don't have to be suspicious, but you don't have to be suspicious... But just now, Young Master said, let him do it when the autumn harvest is next year. Now that the time has been set, it means that next year Would autumn harvest be a good time?"

Junao nodded.

Jing Zhe said: "But let him go like this, not to mention what if he runs away like this... Even if he is willing to do things for the young master, what if he fails? What if he does not do what the young master wants?" Do? Shall we just wait until next year's autumn harvest? We missed this opportunity, when will we wait next time..."

Zhu Nao only said to let Wei Yue win the Jianzhou Mansion, but there is too much room for discussion on this task.Killing and arson is winning, outsmarting is winning, subduing and enlightening is also winning.Of course, there is no doubt about employing people, and no need for doubters, but once Wei Yue messes up...just for "no doubt", the price is really a bit high.

Listening to his series of questions, Zhu Nao calmly said, "You don't have to wait until the autumn harvest, at most you can wait until the beginning of spring."

Jing Zhe didn't understand.Spring?Why?

Zhu Nao tapped his temples, motioning him to continue thinking: "If you were Wei Yue, what would you do when you go back?"

Jing Zhe was stunned.

If he is Wei Yue?He might be frightened by such a big event as the overthrow of the Jianzhou government.Now that he has regained his freedom, he simply ran away to avoid being caught again; or, he felt that this was an opportunity, so he decided to try it.But he was a refugee with no money, no food, and no one. Even if he had more than half a year, where should he start?Jun Nao promised to give him food and 200 taels of gold so lightly, can he believe it?

Thinking of this, Jing Zhe suddenly realized: "I will find the young master again!"

Junao smiled and nodded, giving him an approving look.

Jing Zhe understood now.Zhu Nao dared to let Wei Yue do it, but Wei Yue didn't dare to let it go.If he really decided to do it, he would not come to Zhu Nao to ask for credit and reward after the matter is completed, but would come to Jun Nao to discuss it early.Firstly, he wants to confirm Zhu Nao's sincerity, secondly, he is likely to ask Juno for money and food, and thirdly, this matter is extremely risky, and he also wants to confirm how Zhu Nao will help him out.In this way, if he really has a plan, even if Junao doesn't ask, he will take the initiative to tell Junao.There is no need to worry that they will fall into the dilemma of blind men and elephants.

Jing Zhe was embarrassed, hesitated for a moment, and then asked: "But, why wait until the beginning of spring at most?"

Zhu Nao spread his hands: "After the beginning of spring, I won't count on him for this matter."

Jing Zhe was slightly stunned, and suddenly realized.

Zhu Nao didn't know Wei Yue well, but after hearing some of his deeds, he felt that he was quite talented.However, such a major event as overthrowing the Jianzhou government requires not only talent, but also enough courage and courage.He let Wei Yue go back, not only showing his attitude of absolute trust, but also a test.If this person is really courageous and courageous, he shouldn't hesitate for too long.Besides, there was going to be an incident during the autumn harvest, so it was time for him to make preparations after the beginning of spring.If he procrastinates and waits until Xia Tian to make up his mind, then it is impossible for him to accomplish great things with his courage, so naturally there is no need to pin his hopes on him.

And for a refugee like Wei Yue, they themselves couldn't handle him.If he is forced to do things for them, he is unwilling, and they dare not trust him.On the contrary, if he came back, it would be because he was willing to join them, so that his talents could be used by them.

Jing Zhe completely understood, first his eyes lit up, then his expression dimmed again: "Young master is really powerful..."

Usually when he said this sentence, he was full of admiration and longing.But when I said this today, I was more disappointed than usual.He thought that he had learned from Zhu Nao for so long, and when he did things, he was still confused and didn't have half of Zhu Nao's essence.Can not help but feel self-blame and annoyed.

Zhu Nao saw through his thoughts and said, "Tell me what you have experienced in the past few days."

Jing Zhe hurriedly withdrew her other thoughts, organized her thoughts, from how she discovered the news about the fake officials, how she set up an ambush in the farm, and finally because of a sudden change, she had to first tell Zhu everything about Wei Yue and Tao Bai. naw.

In fact, he came here today to plead guilty to Zhu Nao.He thought he failed to catch Wei Yue, but he had already startled the snake.Who would have thought that the person caught by him by mistake was really Wei Yue!But he didn't intend to ask for credit, he knew that Zhu Nao gave him this task to train him, so he took the initiative to reflect on his own shortcomings.

Jing Zhe said: "My lord, I'm still too timid and not smart enough. In fact, I should have thought a long time ago, how many such powerful people can there be among their group of refugees? That person must be Wei Yue."

But Zhu Nao shook his head and said, "It's good for you to be cautious. If you weren't cautious, you might have been tricked into the mountains by him."

Jing Zhe said blankly: "Then I don't need to change it?"

Zhu Nao said firmly, "Of course."

Jing Zhe was startled, but suddenly became happy, her eyes lit up, and there was a smile on her face.

Zhu Nao didn't let him go on so complacently, and said: "Go on."

Jing Zhe immediately understands that Zhu Nao only said that his prudence is not wrong, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't need to change anything - this is of course, if he did everything well, things wouldn't be so twists and turns.

He thought for a while, and said, "Perhaps I should have made an agreement with Zhuang Min from the very beginning... at least some of them. I was afraid that they would not be able to hide the news, but later because they didn't know anything, I still took it." Those thieves treated them as real officers and soldiers and helped them, but they almost didn’t let them escape.”

Zhu Nao shook his head: "You are not wrong. If you tell them in advance, in case they reveal the truth, I'm afraid Wei Yue won't even enter the farm."

Jing Zhe was a little uncertain: "Then... what did I do wrong?"

Zhu Nao inspired: "I usually let you read military books. Apart from the method of arranging troops and using the terrain, what is the most talked about in the military books?"

Jing Zhe touched his ears, feeling a little dazed.What is said in the book of war?

After a while, he replied uncertainly: "Young master, are you talking about the way of employing people?"

Zhu Nao nodded: "Yes."

Jing Zhe was still at a loss.Does Zhu Nao mean that he employs the wrong people?But with only a few teenagers in his hands, how else can he use them?

Seeing that he still couldn't figure it out, Zhu Nao shook his head lightly, and said, "Let me ask you. You said that after those thieves entered the village, Pei Ziqi was impatient and was already in a hurry to arrest them, but you wanted to take it easy. What do you think? Disagreement. Did you convince him that your plan was the best before you ordered him to do it?"

Jing Zhe opened his mouth blankly: "I...persuade?" His lips moved, trying to say something, but finally closed them silently.

At that time, the matter was urgent, so he simply stated his thoughts and asked everyone to act according to his plan. Naturally, he didn't have time to persuade everyone carefully.But it really didn't occur to him that he should.But after being reminded by Zhu Nao, he suddenly realized: Maybe Pei Ziqi didn't intend to sabotage his plan, but he had different thoughts in his heart, and it was inevitable to reflect them when he did things.That's why Pei Ziqi didn't calm down and went after Tao Bai in the end, which alarmed Wei Yue.

And when he reflected on his mistakes, he didn't mention this one, because he didn't think it was his own fault.After all, how could he have expected Pei Ziqi's actions beforehand?But now he suddenly realized that regardless of whether his plan was good or bad, if he had been able to hold his temper beforehand, explain the pros and cons to everyone in detail, and let everyone accept his idea, perhaps such a thing would not have happened.Or, when he realized that Pei Ziqi had a different idea from his, he would not place Pei Ziqi in an important position, and his plan might not be disrupted.

In the past, he read a sentence in a book that said, "The faults of the soldiers are the faults of the generals." At that time, he did not understand the meaning of this sentence, but now he somewhat understands it.

Jing Zhe said in shame: "It's because I didn't do well."

Junao nodded.Although Cheng Jingzhe's original plan was a bit troublesome, it's not uncommon for what kind of person to make such a plan with his temperament.There are a hundred ways to do things, as long as you can succeed, there is nothing wrong with it.So the fault was not in his planning, but in his execution.

Jing Zhe thought for a while, and then asked: "Then, if something happens suddenly, I don't have time to convince everyone, and I don't have any replacements, what should I do?"

They walked this way, and the state capital was close at hand.Zhu Nao stopped and turned to face Jing Zhe.Jing Zhe also hurriedly stopped.

Zhu Nao stood still in front of Jing Zhe, staring at him.The boy grew up very fast, and now he is as tall as him.Although the face is still immature, it is indeed time to be able to take the lead.

"Jing Zhe."

"Ok?"

Junao said gently: "You, just remember one truth, and you won't make many mistakes in the future."

"what?"

"In the world, what you want to do is not important, what you can do is important."

"..."

"It's the same with employing people. It doesn't matter what you want others to do, but what you know they can do. Do you understand?"

Jing Zhe was stunned.

The truth of this sentence sounds simple, but it is difficult to understand when you actually do it.What others can accomplish is not only related to ability, but also related to mood, thought, state and environment.Maybe it can be done at this time, and it can't be done at that time.If you really want to practice such skills, it is extremely difficult without enough time and experience.

However, remembering this sentence is indeed very important.

After a long time, Jing Zhe took a deep breath and said solemnly: "My lord, I understand."

"Well. It's getting late, let's go back and rest early." Zhu Nao suddenly changed the topic. "By the way, after dawn tomorrow, help me to send a message to the merchants in the grain store, asking them to come to the state capital to discuss matters in the afternoon."

The topic was changed so suddenly, Jing Zhe didn't recover for a moment: "Huh? Okay..."

Zhu Nao stretched his waist, turned around and continued to walk back: "Go, go."

……

After Wei Yue was released, he thought about the pros and cons, and Zhu Nao informed the government that there was no need to track down his whereabouts, and if he came to the door, he would be brought in to meet him.After making this arrangement, Zhu Nao put Wei Yue's matter behind him and ignored him for the time being.

There are more important things for him to spend his mind on - that is, the expansion of the non-traitor industry.

The next day, he gathered all the merchants in Langzhou City who were involved in the operation of the grain bank, and discussed with them again.This time is not for other things, but because he hopes to expand the non-traitorous food business faster than the original plan.

Doing business is a matter of urgency, and manpower and capital are limited.If you have to be in a hurry, the merchants involved in the operation will naturally have to increase their investment.

Since Zhu Nao wanted to change his plan, he definitely wouldn't do it empty-handed.His colleague who was making a new plan also made some changes to the original agreement, promising more benefits to the merchants.Settling accounts is Junao's forte. Compared with the benefits he promised and the increased investment of the merchants, the merchants must be profitable.And businessmen are born to seek profit, so the discussion went very smoothly, and everyone quickly reached an agreement.

After discussing the matter, after coming out of the state capital, several businessmen chatted.

Li Shen asked strangely: "By the way, what happened recently? Why is Zhu Nao suddenly so anxious?"

Zhang Xiang said: "That's right, when we discussed with us not long ago, he also said that he hoped to open the grain business to the whole of Sichuan within two or three years. Today, he suddenly moved forward the plan to next year. What stimulated him? ?”

Someone suddenly slapped his thigh: "Oh! It won't be another flood next year, right?"

Someone immediately retorted: "What are you guessing? Next year can't be a flood year."

"Could it be a drought? Or a plague of locusts? Think about the last time when Zhu Nao stockpiled grain in advance, it was a natural disaster. It won't come again this time, will it?"

Li Shen was speechless: "Where did you go? You really regarded him as a fortune-teller? How could he calculate natural disasters accurately every time?"

A dandy said resentfully: "Don't tell me, Zhu Nao is really very clever in his work. It's better to believe that there is something than nothing."

Li Shen: "..."

The speculation about the occurrence of natural disasters was a bit of a joke, but everyone thought about it for a while, and they really didn't think of anything that could be related to Zhu Nao's sudden eagerness to expand the grain business.

Zhang Xiang said: "There is nothing wrong with this cold winter and the twelfth lunar month? If there is any major event recently, it is only the matter of General He. Zhu Nao wants to expand the grain business, can it be related to that matter?" ?”

"No way? What happened in the capital has anything to do with us? Could it have any impact on the situation in Sichuan?"

"This... what impact can it have..."

All the businessmen were at a loss.Zhu Nao's intention, this is really not something that ordinary people can easily guess.

After a while, Li Shen was the first to break the silence.He waved his hand and said impatiently: "Forget it, forget it, what are you talking about? Don't think about it!"

Zhang Xiang was angry and funny and said, "Isn't it you who chose first?"

Li Shen curled his lips: "Then I don't want to talk now, can't I? The more we talk, the more troublesome it becomes. What natural disasters and man-made disasters, what national affairs... I'm not the one to worry about this! Anyway, I understand now, do you want to do business? , Zhu Nao is really good. If you sing against him, you will lose money; if you work with him, you will make money! Let’s do it!”

All the dudes looked at each other in blank dismay.In the past, it was Li Shen who didn't get along with Zhu Nao the most. Who would have thought that this guy would change his face the fastest after he tasted the sweetness.

Li Shen smiled and said, "Let's go, let's drink flower wine together!"

Being invited by him like this, the dandies put aside their troubles one after another, and headed towards the Goulan together, shoulder to shoulder.
