No one can control a qiē, and no one can be absolutely right and never make mistakes.

Those who feel that they are superior and intelligent enough to play with their opponents between applause may end up with the opposite effect.

Zhao Junchen has always felt that the most difficult thing for a person to do, especially when he is young and frivolous, is to admit his "ordinary".

Everyone is good at and not good at aspects, everyone has aspects that are stronger than others, and there are always aspects that are weaker than others, there is no "perfect person" in this world, everyone is a member of all living beings, that's all.

…………

For Zhao Junchen himself, perhaps because he suddenly came to this strange era, he has always been cautious by nature, walking on thin ice, never daring to overestimate his ability, let alone despise those opponents who have been in the sea for many years.

To this day, Zhao Junchen is in the temple battle, although he can be regarded as winning more and losing less, but it is more because of diligent thinking, judging the situation, and taking advantage of the situation, not really because Zhao Junchen's ability is superior.

However, no matter how cautious and cautious Zhao Junchen is, he can't stop secretly deducing, but after all, he is just a person, unable to think through, and from time to time there will always be some unexpected situations that are out of his control.

Big unexpected circumstances, such as Emperor Deqing's change of attitude and decision to increase the power of the prince's party; Another example is that Zhou Shangjing suddenly took action to share the benefits of Sichuan's salt reform; Another example is the Northwest Frontier Crisis that was only realized not long ago - these unexpected situations will always catch Zhao Junchen off guard and disrupt many of Zhao Junchen's plans.

And small accidents are even more numerous, such as now, Xiao Wenxuan, who is valued by Zhao Junchen, will actually fall to Sun Shan in the Spring Festival Examination - although this unexpected situation has little impact on Zhao Junchen, this kind of situation out of control will still make Zhao Junchen feel very uncomfortable!

Zhao Junchen didn't like this kind of accident, although Zhao Junchen also understood. This kind of unexpected situation will always arise.

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

I have to say that under the condition of receiving clear instructions, Xu Qingyan's efficiency is still very fast.

Not long after Chen Dongxiang said goodbye and left, Xu Qingyan had already found out the reason why Xiao Wenxuan's name fell to Sun Shan.

In the study, Zhao Junchen was sitting at the desk reviewing the folds of the household, and after Xu Qingyan entered the study, Zhao Junchen put the folds in his hand aside. He looked up and asked, "How's it going?" ”

Xu Qingyan nodded and said, "Young Master, I have already sent someone to find out about Xiao Wenxuan's failure to make the list." ”

"Oh? What's going on? With Xiao Wenxuan's talent and learning, and the exam questions we revealed in advance, how could he fall off the apricot list? Zhao Junchen frowned slightly.

Xu Qingyan replied: "Back to the young master, the reason why Xiao Wenxuan is not on the list." It's because the exam questions we revealed didn't reach him at all. And from beginning to end, Xiao Wenxuan didn't know about it at all. ”

"Oh?" Zhao Junchen raised his eyebrows, a ray of essence flashed in his eyes, and he asked again, "How can this be?" Didn't I already hint that Liu Zimin wanted to re-admit Xiao Wenxuan? How could the exam questions not be passed on to Xiao Wenxuan? …… Did Liu Zimin secretly do it? ”

Before the entrance examination, it was Liu Zimin who used his identity as a "guest of Zhao Mansion" to recruit those candidates who were willing to take refuge in Zhao Junchen. Therefore, it is quite influential among those candidates who have taken refuge in Zhao Junchen. And after Zhao Junchen stole the exam questions, he also spread them to the hands of those "Zhao Party" candidates.

Therefore, now that the test questions have not been passed to Xiao Wenxuan, according to Zhao Junchen, I am afraid that this problem is due to Liu Zimin.

However, Xu Qingyan shook his head and said, "Young Master, according to the information collected by our people, I'm afraid it's not Liu Zimin's reason. That Liu Zimin is now desperately trying to tie up with the young master, and he has done his best to complete the instructions of the young master, even if he doesn't like that Xiao Wenxuan, he will never risk being blamed by the young master to secretly do something in this matter. ”

Zhao Junchen nodded, did not interject, just motioned for Xu Qingyan to explain further.

Xu Qingyan continued to explain: "When the young master handed over the exam questions to Liu Zimin, Liu Zimin was also cautious. In order to avoid arousing suspicion, he did not give the examination questions to all the candidates who took refuge in us with great fanfare, but only transferred them to a few candidates who were very close to him, and then passed on the few close candidates to further spread the examination questions to all the candidates who took refuge in us. But I didn't expect ......"

Speaking of this, Zhao Junchen was already clear, and nodded lightly: "But I didn't expect that Xiao Wenxuan's temperament is not popular, so not only did no one transfer the exam questions to him, but even secretly joined forces to conceal it, so that he didn't even know about it?" ”

Xu Qingyan also nodded, indicating that this was exactly the case.

Zhao Junchen frowned again and asked, "That group of candidates, just in case, I have always sent someone to keep an eye on it, and I haven't noticed this situation from beginning to end?" ”

Xu Qingyan smiled bitterly: "Back to the young master, we did send someone to keep an eye on it, but there are too few people we can trust." I have been busy with the young master these days, and Fang Ru is focused on the operation of the intelligence network, but no one has managed and presided over this aspect at all, let alone informed those who are watching what they should pay attention to. Therefore, those who were stalking were just precautionary that the candidates would betray the young master and reveal the news, and completely ignored other aspects, so they were negligent to Xiao Wenxuan. ”

Hearing Xu Qingyan's explanation, Zhao Junchen sighed softly, understanding that no one could be blamed for this matter, only that there were too few talents available under Zhao Junchen, and Zhao Junchen himself ignored a lot of this aspect because there were too many things to plan.

"I see, you can step back first." Zhao Junchen waved his hand and said.

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

When Zhao Junchen was the only one left in the study, Zhao Junchen began to think thoughtfully.

"After all, a person's energy is limited, and there are also misunderstandings in thinking, and they can't do everything, and they will always take care of one thing and lose the other...... Perhaps, in addition to the friends and allies in the officialdom, it is now time to build a staff team loyal to themselves in the government, in addition to helping them to make suggestions and fill in the gaps on weekdays, they can also be specially responsible for some unimportant things and plans, so as to reduce some pressure on themselves......"

Between thoughts. Zhao Junchen sighed softly.

In fact, Zhao Junchen has long planned to establish a staff team, but in Zhao Junchen's eyes, there are not many talents who are suitable to become his staff members.

…………

The so-called "talents", although they are not all over the street, as long as they are carefully searched. There will always be some to be found, too.

However, if Zhao Junchen just wants to compete for power and profit with others in the court, it is just that, but Zhao Junchen's plan is obviously not only like this - but also to frame the crown prince Zhu Heyu, but also to try to get rid of the control of Emperor Deqing, and also plan to secretly control some military towns and troops, and even have more rebellious plots in the future - these things, once others know about them, Zhao Junchen will immediately usher in great trouble.

Therefore, Zhao Junchen's request to the staff. Not only is it necessary to be wise, but also to be faithful. But in many cases, "loyalty" and "intelligence" are often diametrically opposed qualities.

Although Zhao Junchen's caution would not reveal all his plans to his staff, only a part of the news was enough for smart people to guess many things.

This is also Zhao Junchen's influence although his influence is increasing. The reason why there has been a delay in recruiting staff members.

What's more, Zhao Junchen is quite ambitious in this regard, unlike other officials who only recruit one or two cronies to help them come up with ideas, but plans to build a "staff team", similar to the national think tank of later generations, and let them perform their own responsibilities and preside over certain plans according to their respective strengths, so as to fundamentally prevent the recurrence of unexpected situations similar to Xiao Wenxuan.

But as a result, the talent gap becomes even larger.

…………

"It's hard to find talent...... This is different from those partisan allies in officialdom. You still need to find and cultivate it yourself...... Now that he has a big plan, he has deviated far from the way of a courtier, so the candidate for this staff member not only needs to be talented and wise, but also needs to be loyal, otherwise it is not enough to conspire with great things, but in this way, there will only be fewer suitable candidates......

Fang Ru is scheming and decisive. is also dedicated to me, but she is just a concubine in the house, and her identity is not suitable for showing up, and she lacks knowledge after all. Now that she is in charge of intelligence and infiltration, it is already the limit......

Not to mention Xu Qingyan, he is only suitable for running errands......

Wei Huai is a suitable candidate, capable and strategic, I let him get rid of the situation of only pretending to be crazy and stupid in front of people, and he needs to use my strength to take revenge, so he is loyal to me, but he still has to help me deal with the affairs of the West Factory, he is also a disability, I am afraid he will not be able to spare the energy to do other things......"

Thinking like this, Zhao Junchen shook his head slightly.

It's just that, although it is difficult, Zhao Junchen does not intend to give up.

Nowadays, more and more plans are only planned and presided over by Zhao Junchen alone, more and more pressure is only borne by Zhao Junchen alone, and more and more unexpected situations can only be dealt with by Zhao Junchen himself - in this way, it is easy to make mistakes, Zhao Junchen himself also feels more and more powerless, and always needs to find someone to help him.

In this way, after thinking about it, Zhao Junchen suddenly thought of Xiao Wenxuan, who failed in the examination.

Zhao Junchen still remembers his impression after meeting Xiao Wenxuan - he can see through the world and people, but he can't see through the people around him, he is smart and keen and does not lack talent, but he does not know how to protect himself, and some radical ideas that are not allowed in the present world, but they are not systematic, and they do not know how to achieve them, although they pay attention to reality and interests, but they are arrogant and easy to offend people - simply put, if this person enters the officialdom, he is afraid that the future is bleak, but if he can experience it, he is a talent suitable for being a staff member.

In fact, after meeting Xiao Wenxuan at the beginning, Zhao Junchen thought that this person was not suitable for exhibition in the officialdom, so he had the idea of taking him as a staff member, but later there were more and more things, and he forgot about it.

Moreover, looking at what Xiao Wenxuan has always done, the so-called "loyal monarch and patriotism" and other ideas are afraid that they will not have a deep impact on him, and he has a long relationship with Zhao Junchen, Zhao Junchen is confident, as long as he has the right means, he is not afraid that Xiao Wenxuan will not serve him loyally.

"Perhaps, Xiao Wenxuan's failure this time, although there will be one less trustworthy friend in the court in the future, it is not necessarily a bad thing for me. After all, for me now, it is easy to find friends in the court, but it is difficult to find trusted staff in the palace...... Well, after the apricot list is announced, I'm afraid I'll have to meet this Xiao Wenxuan again. ”

Thinking of this, Zhao Junchen's expression softened slightly, although he was only the first candidate. But everything is difficult at the beginning, as long as you take the first step, the next road may be much smoother.

…………

And just as Zhao Junchen was thinking in secret, a knock suddenly sounded in the study.

At the same time, Chu Jiayi's voice sounded outside the door.

"Master, the maid made osmanthus cake. Would you like to bring some? You haven't eaten much for lunch, and I'm afraid you're hungry now. ”

Hearing Chu Jiayi's inquiry, Zhao Junchen noticed that it was evening before he knew it, and outside the study window, the sky was red with sunset.

"Come in."

As Zhao Junchen's words fell, Chu Jiayi had already pushed the door in. With a plate of pastries in his hand, he came to the desk and placed the pastries in Zhao Junchen's hand.

Regarding Chu Jiayi, the spy arranged by the prince by his side, Zhao Junchen did not hide it from her in ordinary matters, and always passed on some half-truths and half-truths to the crown prince Zhu Heyu through Chu Jiayi.

Therefore, after Chu Jiayi appeared, Zhao Junchen first ate two pieces of osmanthus jujube cake. Then he didn't care that Chu Jiayi was waiting on the sidelines, but continued to think about the formation of the staff team.

However, after all, Zhao Junchen has a shallow foundation and lacks a foundation, so for a while, except for Xiao Wenxuan, he can no longer think of other candidates.

Chu Jiayi, who was on the side, frowned slightly when she saw Zhao Junchen from time to time. From time to time, he shook his head slightly, as if he was worried about something, and after hesitating for a moment, he finally asked, "Master." But what's the trouble? ”

Hearing Chu Jiayi's straightforward "temptation", Zhao Junchen couldn't help laughing, thinking in his heart that this girl was really not the material for being a spy, but he didn't hide it, and said: "Now with more and more court affairs to be responsible for, and the industry in the mansion is getting bigger and bigger, I am doing it myself, but I am gradually a little overwhelmed, so I want to recruit some staff in the mansion to help, but I can't think of any suitable candidates, so I will be a little troubled." ”

Hearing Zhao Junchen's troubles, Chu Jiayi was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked: "Master, you want to recruit some masters, why don't you go to the Shaoxing Xu Officials Gang?" I heard that now in the officialdom, from Jiuqing to Xian Cao, the scribes are basically Yue people, that is, the master of Shaoxing. Thinking that Master Shaoxing is so valued by the officials of our court, there must be something extraordinary. ”

"Master Shaoxing?" After Zhao Junchen heard Chu Jiayi's words, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Didn't Master Shaoxing rise in the Qing Dynasty? How famous is it now?

Seeing Zhao Junchen's puzzled expression, Chu Jiayi secretly blamed himself for not making an idea for Zhao Junchen, but in order to avoid Zhao Junchen's suspicion, he continued to explain: "Yes, I heard that it is common for Shaoxing people who have fallen through the imperial examination to become Yamen scribes, and even take being a scribe as a business, and often use the method of 'flying across the sea' to accumulate official qualifications, so that more than half of the officials in the world are from Shaoxing, and after Master Shaoxing became a staff member, he is not only proficient in this business, smart and sophisticated, but also quite ethical and behaved. The officials who serve have always been loyal, and it is rare to hear that they will come forward to the employer, if the young master wants to recruit some staff, these Shaoxing masters can give it a try. ”

While speaking, Chu Jiayi walked to the bookshelf on the side, and took out two books from them, namely "Guangzhi Interpretation" and "Warning World Hengyan", opened them and handed them to Zhao Junchen, both of which had content introducing Master Shaoxing.

Zhao Junchen bought a lot of various books in the book market a few days ago, but because he was busy on weekdays, he didn't read much. It's Chu Jiayi, because Zhao Junchen doesn't control her very much, she serves by Zhao Junchen's side on weekdays, and if she has nothing to do, she will flip through some of them, but now she is far more familiar with the books in Zhao Junchen's study than Zhao Junchen.

After reading the introduction of Master Shaoxing in two books, Zhao Junchen knew that although Master Shaoxing only flourished in the Qing Dynasty, it had begun to take shape during the Ming Dynasty.

"You can try it, there may be some available talents, it seems that when I tour south with His Majesty in the future, I will have to pay more attention to this aspect." Zhao Junchen muttered softly.

But Chu Jiayi said: "If the master has the heart to find some Shaoxing masters to test their abilities, why wait for His Majesty to tour the south?" As far as I know, there was originally a master of Shaoxing in the master's mansion, but he was not valued by the master, and he just worked in the account room, as if he was called ...... Su Xiqing. ”

"Su Xiqing?"

Zhao Junchen is also familiar with this name, he once followed Zhao Junchen to Lu'an Mansion for disaster relief, and he can be responsible for the account books of Zhao Mansion, and the movement of money in the mansion is not hidden from him, obviously this person is also Zhao Junchen's cronies.

It's just that Zhao Junchen didn't know until now that this Su Xiqing was not just an ordinary account office, but a master from Shaoxing!

"Yes, Master Shaoxing is so famous, I do want to try their skills and see if they are as good as the rumors. And this Su Xiqing in our house, although he was born in Shaoxing, only serves as an accountant in the house, and I don't know if he is not good at his own skills, or if I am overkill, I need to test it......"

As he spoke, Zhao Junchen raised his head and instructed Chu Jiayi: "Jiayi, pass my word and let that Su Xiqing come to the study to see me." ”
