Zhao Yu didn't like to drink in his previous life, and there are generally only two situations of drinking: one is that others force themselves to drink, although they don't pinch their noses and pour it into him, they have to drink if they don't drink when they ask others to do things; Then there is the accompanying wine, and the leader has to pour a large cup with a look; It is equivalent to passive drinking, always drunk and returned, drinking does not know the southeast and northwest, plus stomach bleeding, and I want to vomit when I mention wine. The other is to force himself to drink, and the days when he was trapped on the ship were also his most depressed, but at this moment he didn't even have the opportunity to accompany the drink, so he could only get himself drunk in order to get a moment of peace in his mind.

Therefore, Zhao Hao only has hatred for wine, no love, and has always stayed away from this world. But as he got older, he realized that not drinking was just as flawed in ancient times as it is in modern times, and at least they would think you were still a child. And the guys in the army don't think you're like a man, even though you're already a man of men; But those scholars think that if you don't drink, you are not elegant enough, you don't know how to be romantic, you are too lazy to be with you, and they will take you with you for fun.

So Zhao Yu began to try to drink this year, and found that the amount of alcohol he practiced that year was not reduced, to be precise, it should be psychologically tolerant of wine, he always thought that the amount of alcohol of ordinary people was about the same, the difference was only that they dared to drink or not, how could young people make up a pound and eight taels if they had the courage to drink. What's more, there are still very few distilled liquors at present, mainly brewed liquor with a degree similar to beer, if the stomach capacity permits, he feels that he will not get drunk after drinking two catties, no wonder Wu Song was able to drink eighteen bowls back then.

However, as soon as this wine was drunk, Zhao Yu found that the wine was really a good thing, mainly because no one forced himself to drink it anymore, he drank as much as he wanted, but he could let them drink as much as they wanted, and naturally they would be happy to drink and be able to taste the taste of wine. He also finally realized why the leaders love to drink, they are not drinking, but this feeling of being able to dominate others at will, watching them get drunk and talk about wine, and go crazy with alcohol, and the next day they have to smile and grin to themselves with their white faces and stomachs.

Of course, Zhao Yu didn't dare to let a few of them get drunk today, so he stopped in time after the wine was half drunk, and only served soup and no longer old wine. But this soup is homemade by the imperial kitchen, the soup I drank the most in my previous life may be the egg soup with a few leaves, the difference between the canteen and the hotel is only how many egg flowers float on it, so this thing really can't be on the table, even if it is praised by a few words, it is deserved, how to say that he is also a good person, how can he not be honest!

"Chief Jiang, the city of Jiangling has been completely destroyed, you must repair it as soon as possible, and urge all departments to quickly complete the expansion!" Zhao Yu took a sip of soup and said to Jiang Cheng.

"Yes, the minister has mobilized all ministries to collect materials, clean up the city foundation, and start repairing it immediately after the year." Jiang Cheng replied, "Now that the four divisions are going to be expanded on a large scale, and nearly 100,000 soldiers must be recruited, I am afraid that it will be difficult to complete it in Jiangling alone. ”

"Well, you're right. Recruiting a large number of young people from one place alone will affect local production and is not conducive to the stability of the newly restored area. Zhao Yu nodded and thought for a moment and said, "Now that the Jiangxi region is all reorganized by the people's army, the weapons have not been replaced, and the combat effectiveness is weak, then the Ninth Division will be transferred to Jiangxi to garrison and expand, what does Minister Wen think?" ”

"Your Majesty's concern is that the minister thinks it is feasible, and some of the surrendered troops who are unwilling to return to their hometowns can be incorporated into it, and the Weisheng Army can be reorganized into a local town garrison army, stationed in local states and counties, and select and send competent officials to serve in the localities." The little emperor talked with himself for a long time, and of course Wen Tianxiang heard the voiceover in it, so he should be in tune.

"Your Majesty's intention, Wen Xiang is going to return to the imperial court?" Xie Fangde suddenly felt that something was wrong, and asked.

"Wen Xiang is an important minister of the imperial court, how can I stay in the place for a long time, and I will return to Lin'an with Wen Xiang and the guards after the year." Zhao Hao smiled.

"Your Majesty, are the ministers also with you?" Xie Fangde nodded and asked again.

"Junzhi, Your Majesty thinks that Ru Laocheng is serious, shrewd and capable, so he wants Junzhi to govern Jiangxi and serve as Jiangxi's pacification envoy. General Han was the head of the Jiangxi march and presided over the military. Wen Tianxiang said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust!" Xie Fang said with a salute.

"No need to be polite!" Zhao Yu raised his hand and said, "With Mr. Dieshan presiding over the overall situation of Jiangxi, I am very relieved, Mr. has opinions." ”

"It is the duty of a minister to share worries for His Majesty and contribute to the country, and he will never give up!" Xie Fang said again.

"What about General Han?" Zhao Yu turned to Han Zhendao again.

"Your Majesty, your subordinates will never live up to your expectations, and they will not hesitate to do so!" Han Zhen stood up and saluted.

"Your Majesty, is it possible to return to the court?" Dong Yicheng was the first to enter the battlefield with the little emperor, but he was not idle for a moment, and now that the war is basically over, of course he wants to return to the dynasty as soon as possible.

"You have to wait when you go back, I want you to serve as the head of the Jianghu Navy and defend the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, how about it?" Zhao Hao shook his head and said.

"Subordinates obey!" Dong Yicheng said with a bitter face.

"I have ordered someone to send your family to Ezhou, and you can be reunited!" Zhao Hao said with a smile again.

"Your Majesty Xie cares!" Dong Yicheng rubbed his hands and smirked. He has been in the army for many years, so he naturally knows that he is not allowed to bring his family members with him when he is out of the army, but he stays in the garrison camp, one is to reduce trouble, and the other is to take his family as a hostage. At that moment, His Majesty sent his family members to show his trust in him.

"At present, Governor Jiang has to oversee the military and political affairs of Huguang, and it will be harder!" Zhao Yu turned to Jiang Cheng again.

"Your Majesty, the ministers are afraid, the power of military and political affairs belongs to one person, it is against the ancestral system, and please ask Your Majesty to take back your order!" Jiang Cheng didn't show the slightest excitement when he heard this, but said in trepidation.

"General Manager Jiang, it is not without precedent to have one person in charge of the soldiers and the people, Huguang is currently under attack on both sides, the situation is complicated, and the military and government are under one person to facilitate coordination and scheduling!" Zhao Yu said.

"Your Majesty, the minister is not afraid of hard work, but the army has been neglected in government affairs for many years, and it is really difficult to take on such a big responsibility, and I also ask Your Majesty to choose a virtuous person." Jiang Cheng didn't buy it and insisted. He was born in Xiangmen, so he naturally knows the cruelty of the power struggle, what the little emperor said just now is good, there is indeed a precedent before, but the end is not good, often the end is dismissed from office, depressed and died. And the king's heart is unpredictable, and the grace will not last forever, so this is not a good thing.

"Alas, I originally wanted Mrs. Xu to stay in Huguang, but she eventually returned to the female stream, and I asked for an order to return to Quanzhou, and I couldn't blindly keep it!" Zhao Hao sighed.

"Your Majesty, Gao Yu has been in charge of Fujian and Guangzhou for many years, and he is young and strong, so he can stay in Huguang!" Xie Fang listened for a long time and understood that His Majesty was arranging the chief officials of various places, and suddenly thought of something wrong, all the military and political officials in this banquet were all the military and political officials from all over the country, but Xie Ao was missing. But for some reason he lost his sacred heart, so he tentatively recommended it.

"Thank you, Your Majesty has your own arrangements, don't ask more." Without waiting for the little emperor to answer, Wen Tianxiang said solemnly.

"This ......" Xie Fang saw that the right minister suddenly turned his face, and he also realized the seriousness of the matter, and swallowed back the words on his lips vividly.

"I wanted to tell you about this matter in two more days, but since I asked about it today, I will simply tell you!" Zhao Yu glanced at Wen Tianxiang and said.

"The stakes are very high, and you must also strictly keep secrets, and do not disclose them to others, and those who violate them will be severely punished." Wen Tianxiang said sternly.

"Yes!" Several people replied in unison, realizing that this matter was not small, and sat up straight and listened quietly.

"It has been ascertained that Qin Linfeng, the commander of the Weisheng Army, violated the law and military discipline of the country, embezzled and corrupted, formed a party for personal gain, and withheld the spoils of war, etc., and the suspicion of collaborating with the enemy is still being investigated. Wen Tianxiang said.

"Wen Xiang, that Gao Yu is also involved?" Xie Fang was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly asked. Thinking about it just now, I also recommended him to govern Huguang, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen in the Fujian and Guangzhou regions, but if Your Majesty thinks more, he will also be involved.

"At present, it is being verified, even if he did not participate in it, he is suspected of not reporting it or doing things ineffectively, and he will be sent to Lin'an for the crime, and he will be dealt with after investigation!" Wen Tianxiang said.

"This thief has done such an unfaithful and unrighteous thing, and he has failed His Majesty's trust, and he should be killed!" Jiang Cheng said angrily, this news was also extremely shocking to him, he knew very well that a high-ranking officer was so corrupt that the damage to an army would be fatal.

"I didn't expect Qin Linfeng to do such a thing, it's really distressing, not only to lose Your Majesty, but also to cut off his own life!" Dong Yicheng was born in the same army as Shuaifu, and he was naturally familiar with Qin Linfeng, thinking that his former colleague would be imprisoned in the blink of an eye, he was naturally heartbroken, and he hammered his thigh hard.

"Although Your Majesty has instructed to help the king eradicate the evil and eliminate the evil, it is the responsibility of his subordinates!" Han Zhen stood up and saluted.

"The last general will listen to His Majesty's dispatch, and there will be no second words!" Jiang Cheng also got up and saluted.

"Okay, this matter is presided over by Prime Minister Wen, and you just do what you are told!" Zhao Yu nodded and pointed to Wen Tianxiang.

"Obey the holy command, please command!" Several people got up and saluted the little emperor and Wen Tianxiang respectively.

"After the ministers and others have discussed, please invite Your Majesty again!" Wen Tianxiang got up and saluted, and he was also relieved in his heart, with the support of His Majesty and the support of these people, things would be much easier......

After sending everyone away, it was already dark, drinking some wine, and spending a long time on his brain, Zhao Hao felt very tired, and went to bed early after a simple wash. But after lying down, it was difficult to sleep, and my mind seemed to be unable to stop listening to the command, thinking about today's events, thinking about what to do with the backwards, and how to deal with those guys who tried to 'change horses'.

"Alas, why is it so difficult to govern the country!" Zhao Yu turned over and muttered. Now that the war is coming to an end, his main focus will turn to governing the country, which is no longer in Qiongzhou, but in the entire Jiangnan region, which manages tens of millions of people. This has always been his dream in Qiongzhou, but at the beginning, he felt that it was too difficult, and it was really better to lead the troops to fight outside.

"Didn't the official family say at the banquet today that governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh? Why do you feel so hard again! Su Lan, who was on duty at night on the side of the collapse, interjected.

"It's easier said than done!" Zhao Yu turned his body out of the window and said with a wry smile. The phrase "governing a big country if cooking a small fresh" is literally understood, that is, governing a big country should be as careful as cooking vegetables, both must master the heat, and both must pay attention to the condiments, but there is another meaning in it. In Chinese cultural traditions, management has always been talked about as a piece of wisdom, not as a piece of knowledge. Its highest goal is not to be scientific, but to be artistic. Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, which symbolizes a superb art of governing the country.

The first meaning of "governing a big country is to cook small fresh" is to govern the country with integrity, which is also a lesson that I taught myself when I went to Qiongzhou at the beginning of that year. Lao Tzu said in the "Tao Te Ching": "Govern the country with righteousness, govern the army with wonder, and take the world with nothing." "Governing the country with "righteousness" means that we must be upright and upright, and we must not engage in crooked ways; However, if the army is to be "strange," it is necessary to take it by surprise and attack it unprepared. It is not possible to use the "sophistry way" of leading troops to fight wars, and it is not necessarily feasible to use the "right way" of governing the country to lead troops to fight.

The Confucian master Xunzi was most opposed to improper governance and rampant power. He said: "The ruler of the people, the king who is virtuous and virtuous, the law and the love of the people are tyranny, the lustful and deceitful are dangerous, and the power and conspiracy are overturned and the darkness is dead." In his view, governing the country by virtue is the royal road, the rule of law is the road of hegemony, and the establishment of power is the worst way to govern the country. Because, once the power trick is rampant, it will lead the country into disorderly chaos. In such a country, internal friction will inevitably increase, and management costs will rise sharply, and when it is impossible to cope with it, it will naturally go to extinction.

The second essence of "governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh" is to select talents and abilities. It's a seemingly mundane but masterful art of leadership. Specifically, it is about putting the right people in the right places and making the most of their roles, rather than intervening in specific matters. Han Feizi, the master of Legalism, under the influence of Lao Tzu's thought, once put forward the view that "the monarch does nothing, and the minister does nothing". In his view, the monarch, as the supreme manager, does not have to do everything himself, but must learn to hand over the initiative to his ministers and give full play to their enthusiasm.

Grandpa Mao, the founder of New China, was also well versed in this, and he once said: "The responsibility of a leader, in the final analysis, is mainly to come up with ideas and use cadres. "Specifically, to govern the country with righteousness is to have a set of benign rules to ensure the spontaneous operation of the state apparatus, and this rule can be consistent, not abolished by people, but stopped by events. Once the decrees are smooth, the state as an organizational system will function healthily and automatically without the need for too much intervention by the administrators.

Although Zhao Yu knows this truth and knows that he can save a lot of things in this way, he also knows that he needs to 'delegate power'. And he knows better how difficult his power is, it can be said that he bought it with his life, and there are still people who covet his power. So he was very cautious, and this also made him very tired and a little confused in the face of the new situation......
