"He is still too young, although he is smart and sharp-eyed, but after all, he has too little experience, lack of experience, and is a little young and impulsive, sharp, today he wants to prove himself in front of me, but between talking and doing things, there is still a lack of many considerations......"

In the study of Zhao Mansion, while waiting for Xu Wenqing to appear, Zhao Junchen recalled his conversation with Zeng Wei and commented secretly.

Today, a conversation with Zeng Wei really surprised Zhao Junchen, but he didn't expect Zeng Wei to see through his plan to reorganize the Zhao Party just by passing some appearances, and with this intelligence and vision alone, he was stronger than most of the old people in the Zhao Party.

In Zhao Junchen's opinion, as long as Zeng Wei has been trained for a few more years, he may not be worse than Zhao Shancai, Zhou Suwen, Li Chunchen and others! Getting such a good talent and beauty is really a blessing for Zhao Junchen, who has always been eager for talents and lacks talents under his subordinates!

And Zeng Wei's expression also added a lot of confidence to Zhao Junchen for the future of the "New Zhao Party".

It's just that although Zeng Wei is smart and has a family background, he is still just a young man after all, because of his lack of experience and experience, he can't be compared with the old foxes in the officialdom in many aspects.

First of all, Zeng Wei didn't understand the truth of "hiding clumsy" at all, in order to show his intelligence in front of Zhao Junchen, he actually directly said Zhao Junchen's true thoughts!

Why was Yang Xiu killed by Cao Cao during the Three Kingdoms period? Isn't it because he figured out Cao Cao's intentions that he aroused Cao Cao's suspicion?

In officialdom, "figuring out the will" is a compulsory course for officials, but it is also a big taboo. If the people below know the thoughts and intentions of the officials, then how can the officials still have a sense of security? At this time, it is enough to pretend to be confused and follow your wishes. And why show it off? -- In fact, Zhao Junchen has always boasted of being broad-minded. But after Zeng Wei guessed his true intentions today, although he appreciated Zeng Wei's intelligence more and more, it also added a sense of crisis, and in order to control Zeng Wei in the future, Zhao Junchen will inevitably put more thought into it.

Secondly, Zeng Wei was anxious to express himself, but he ignored the timing and occasion and lacked consideration in doing things!

Zhao Junchen's desire to reorganize the Zhao Party is not trivial, even if Zeng Wei guessed it. It should never be said in front of Liu Zimin! The reorganization of the Zhao Party is one of Zhao Junchen's biggest secrets today, once it is revealed, then the current Zhao Party will be chaotic, so the fewer people who know about this matter, the better, but because of Zeng Wei, now Liu Zimin knows about this matter, and it also adds a trace of risk to Zhao Junchen's plan.

Although Zhao Junchen looked like he trusted Zeng Wei and Liu Zimin in the carriage, it can be expected that from today. In order to prevent the news from leaking, Zhao Junchen will inevitably send someone to closely monitor the two of them.

Finally, Zeng Wei's most important flaw is that Zeng Wei's temperament is too arrogant. Although he was humble and polite on the surface, deep down, his disdain for the other new science and technology scholars could be seen by anyone.

Of course. Zeng Wei is a smart man, compared to him. Most people in this world are stupid, and he has the right to look down on others! But. Compared to the smart people, these stupid people are the mainstream of this world! If a "smart person" does not know how to control and influence the stupid people around him, or ignores the influence of these stupid people, then he will only be alone, unable to move an inch, and difficult to achieve in his life!

In addition, stupid people are not puppets or puppets after all, they also have the dignity of love and anger, love and hatred, if they are always disdainful of them, and do not hide them, then it will only cause everyone's jealousy and hostility, and when the time comes, under the "general trend", it will be a big heel!

Therefore, a truly intelligent person will not only not despise ordinary people, but will integrate into them, and then guide, drive, and eventually become the leader of ordinary people, turning the power of ordinary people into his own strength!

For these, Zeng Wei has not yet deeply understood.

It can be said that Zeng Wei's meeting with Zhao Junchen this time has thoroughly shown all his strengths and weaknesses.

However, these shortcomings, in the final analysis, are only due to a lack of experience and experience, and when Zeng Wei has experienced more things in the future and is sophisticated, then these shortcomings are not shortcomings...... Well, it seems that I will have to add more burdens to him in the future, so that I can accelerate his growth and do my best to share my worries. ”

Zhao Junchen thought secretly.

The way of employing people should not be confined to a person's shortcomings, but also look at the problem from the perspective of growth.

Now, Zhao Junchen saw Zeng Wei's shortcomings, but it made Zhao Junchen determined to further reuse Zeng Wei.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And just when Zhao Junchen was thinking about how to use Zeng Wei in the future, Xu Qingyan pushed open the door of the study and reported: "Young master, Xu Wenqing is here." ”

"Invite him in." Zhao Junchen restrained his thoughts and nodded and commanded.

A moment later, Xu Wenqing came to the study, and Zhao Junchen looked at him, but saw Xu Wenqing's expression depressed and gloomy.

Xu Wenqing, as a staff member of Liang Fuchen, the governor of the three sides, came to the capital this time for the sake of the abandonment of the trilateral armaments.

Because of the malpractice of the military system of the Ming Dynasty, it was not uncommon for military households to flee in the Ming Dynasty, and among the many military towns, the trilateral military towns were the most difficult and often wars, so the situation of military households fleeing was the strictest among them.

However, the military towns on the three sides are also shouldering the heavy task of border defense, and now in the case of repeated flight of military households, the military strength has been extremely empty, and it has even reached a dangerous edge, and it is difficult to resist the continuous invasion of Mongolian, Jurchen and other tribes.

In this regard, Liang Fuchen, the governor of the three sides, was naturally anxious, and even wanted to use silver to recruit a full-time mercenary army, and this time he sent Xu Wenqing to Beijing, precisely for this matter, he wanted Zhao Junchen to secretly allocate a sum of silver to him to form a new army.

However, bypass the military department. The money was allocated directly from the household department to the trilateral military towns, and it was used to form a private army. It's really unruly, and it's too sensitive. Once discovered, it will be a catastrophe, but it was politely rejected by Zhao Junchen.

In fact, Zhao Junchen very much wanted to help Liang Fuchen rectify the trilateral armaments, because he knew very well what it would mean for the Han nation to be under the wolf ambitions of the Jurchens and Mongols once the trilateral defense was negligent -- it would be a great catastrophe for the Ming Dynasty and the Han nation!

However, the armaments of the trilateral military towns were deserted. It is because of the shortcomings of the military system of the Ming Dynasty, and if you want to reverse it, you must change the military system of the Ming Dynasty, and the military system of the Ming Dynasty is not only related to the interests of all aspects, but also the fundamental point of maintaining the imperial power of the Ming Dynasty, and Emperor Deqing will never allow it to be changed.

Therefore, Zhao Junchen didn't even dare to mention this matter in front of Emperor Deqing, for fear that he would offend many people with vested interests, and it would also arouse suspicion in Emperor Deqing's heart. Let Emperor Deqing think that Zhao Junchen wants to meddle in the army - Zhao Junchen really wants to do this, so he can't arouse the vigilance of Emperor Deqing!

So, the last time Xu Wenqing asked Zhao Junchen for help, he finally returned in vain.

However. Xu Wenqing is a person with a firm heart, although he can't turn to Zhao Junchen for help, he is not depressed. Instead, they have been attacking everywhere and have found many relationships these days. Just looking at his expression now, it is obvious that things are not going well. The most important thing in the court is the old fox who seeks advantages and avoids disadvantages, but no one dares to care about the mess of the trilateral military town.

……

Now, after seeing Xu Wenqing's face, Zhao Junchen sighed and asked, "It seems that Mr. Xu is not going well these days." ”

Xu Wenqing nodded gloomily, with some tiredness, and said to Zhao Junchen: "That's true, I ask to see Lord Shangshu again today, just hope that Lord Shangshu can provide some help to the trilateral military town, my Lord Liang will definitely be grateful, and there will be a good reward in the future!" ”

Xu Wenqing knew very well that if he wanted to reverse the decline of the trilateral military town, after all, he couldn't do without Zhao Junchen, who was in charge of the world's money and grain, so after he turned around, he still asked Zhao Junchen here.

In this regard, Zhao Junchen has long considered it.

Although Zhao Junchen was unable to directly help Liang Fuchen rectify the trilateral defense because of his own interests, Zhao Junchen was still willing to provide some help within his ability on the premise of not harming his own interests and safety!

After all, Zhao Junchen still has some bottom lines for being a person and an official.

How to help Liang Fuchen rectify the trilateral defense, Zhao Junchen has thought a lot about it these days, and finally let Zhao Junchen find a way, and he has been secretly preparing for this for a while.

In fact, seeing that the southern tour is about to begin, before that, if Xu Wenqing doesn't come to Zhao Junchen for help, Zhao Junchen will also take the initiative to find Xu Wenqing!

So, Zhao Junchen nodded and said: "I have already thought about it clearly, the trilateral military town bears the heavy responsibility of border defense, and the armament must not be abandoned, otherwise once there is an accident, no one can bear the responsibility." However, if it is as Governor Liang said, it is absolutely impossible to avoid the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household directly allocate money to the trilateral military towns, otherwise it will only bring trouble to both of us, I have thought about it for a long time, and decided to allocate money to you through the Ministry of Works, which is not much, but it is better than nothing. ”

"Ministry of Works?" Xu Wenqing was slightly stunned.

Zhao Junchen nodded again and said: "The Ministry of Engineering is in charge of the system of civil engineering construction and the use of utensils, in addition, it is also in charge of the responsibility of estimating the cost of the project, you can ask the Governor of Liang to make a break to the imperial court, saying that the walls and roads of the cities on the three sides are in disrepair and need to be repaired with silver, and then the Ministry of Engineering will send someone to estimate the cost of the project, and then I will instruct them to estimate the cost as much as possible, so that I can also allocate more silver to you, as for how to hold this silver in your own hands at that time, and how to use it, It's all up to Governor Liang...... In addition, I have sent the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry to study several powerful ordnance weapons, and when the time comes, they will all be allocated to the trilateral military towns in the name of testing, and I hope you can use them well! ”

After a pause, Zhao Junchen picked up a letter from his hand, handed it to Xu Wenqing, and said: "Also, this is a handwritten letter I wrote to Governor Liang, and I hope you will hand it over, there are some of my suggestions on it, I hope Governor Liang can pay attention to it." ”

After hearing Zhao Junchen's words, although his initial expectations were disappointed, Xu Wenqing's expression was finally much more uplifted.

In any case, this time he finally didn't go home empty-handed.

As Zhao Junchen said, even if there is not much silver, it is better than nothing.

The principle of "money is easy to do" is the same everywhere.

In this way, Xu Wenqing has been running around for many days, and finally has a return here in Zhao Junchen, and then he is naturally grateful not to mention it.

And Zhao Junchen sighed, not arrogant, but a trace of guilt flashed in his heart.

He understood that the help he provided was still too little compared to the needs of the Trilateral Military Town!

This is just helping as much as we can without endangering the safety of our own interests!

"Selfish villain...... Qingliu commented on me like that, but they were right......"
