Speaking of which, the reason why Zhao Junchen recommended Zhao Deshun to take over as the head of the Zhao family was originally due to Xiao Wenxuan's construction.

Therefore, Xiao Wenxuan naturally has a good impression of Zhao Deshun, after hearing Zhao Junchen's inquiry at this time, although he also feels that Zhao Deshun's ideas are a little taken for granted, and many things are too simple, and he just blindly imitates the operation mode of the major families, which inevitably has a bit of a taste of picking up people's teeth, and basically has no novel views, but after a moment of silence, Xiao Wenxuan still decided to support Zhao Deshun's views.

After all, even if it were replaced by Xiao Wenxuan himself, I am afraid that he would not be able to mention anything more clever.

So, Xiao Wenxuan replied: "These ideas of the head of the Zhao family, although they are just a cat and a tiger, and there is nothing novel and unique, but there is no doubt that this approach is the right way, after all, the foundation of the Zhao family is not very good, the family style, family education, literacy, etc. are a little unbearable, and they can't provide too much help to adults, but they need your best support, if you want to reverse this situation, you can only manage patiently and gradually, and there is no other shortcut." However, although the method proposed by the head of the Zhao family has been slow to take effect, it is very safe, as long as the patient management continues, the Zhao family may not be able to become a real scholarly family in a few decades, and the powerful family of generations, and when that time comes, the Zhao family will be able to provide a lot of help to the adult, and maybe it can become the right-hand man of the adult. ”

Zhao Junchen smiled lightly and said, "Will it take decades?" …… Indeed, Zhao Deshun's idea is certainly sound and the right way. It's a pity that the effect is too slow, and today's imperial court shape is changing too quickly and there are too many variables. I may not be able to wait that long. ”

Xiao Wenxuan advised: "Actually, with your current powerful position. I don't really need the support of the family, since that's the case, you don't have to be too anxious, you don't have to be too anxious, slowly support and cultivate the Zhao family, there will always be a day when there will be a harvest in the future. What's more, although the Zhao family is unbearable, it can still provide some help, not to mention the Zhao family women who are about to enter the palace, even those Zhao family children who are about to enter the Guozijian. When they enter the career in the future, they can also bring some help to adults to a greater or lesser extent. It's not much, but it's better than nothing. ”

Zhao Junchen shook his head and said: "What you said is not wrong, but unfortunately, I am more greedy and do not have so much patience, and the current situation in the court does not allow me to be patient." Even if the help of the Zhao family is not big, for me, the more the better, and I have invested so many resources for the Zhao family. I don't want to wait for decades to reap the rewards. ”

Xiao Wenxuan was stunned for a moment and asked, "My lord, do you have a better way?" ”

Zhao Junchen nodded and shook his head again. "I can't say that there is a better way, but the way to achieve faster results and pull out the seedlings to help them grow." But I thought of a ...... Wenxuan, in your opinion. Even if the Zhao family really becomes a wealthy family with an honorary reputation, what help can it bring to me? ”

After Xiao Wenxuan pondered for a moment, he replied: "The help that the family can provide is nothing more than two aspects, one is the connection, and the other is reliable helper talents. ”

Zhao Junchen nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, in the final analysis, the help that the family can provide is nothing more than these two aspects. And with my current powerful position, I don't really need the special help of the Zhao family in terms of personal relationships, but reliable talents and helpers, which are the most scarce for me at present. ”

Speaking of this, a wry smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Junchen's mouth, and he added: "My rise time is too short and my background is insufficient, and now except for a few people, there are really no reliable talents under my command, this situation is my biggest weakness at present, so I also hope that the Zhao family can make up for one or two and solve the dilemma." ”

Xiao Wenxuan hesitated: "But in the Zhao family, except for the Zhao family disciples I recommended last time, there are really no talents, and the rest of the Zhao family, I'm afraid it's not bad if you don't make trouble for you." ”

Zhao Junchen said with a smile: "Yes, among the Zhao family, there are indeed not many men who have become a weapon, but now, in the west courtyard of the Zhao family's ancestral house, aren't there a large number of unmarried women of the Zhao family?" In addition to the two candidates who entered the palace, there are still a lot left, but they can't be wasted like this...... Wenxuan, have you ever heard of the saying 'riding the dragon and being a quick son-in-law'? ”

Xiao Wenxuan was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly said: "My lord, are you saying that these unmarried women of the Zhao family are either married or married, or they are rich, buying and encompassing a group of young talents and descendants of official eunuchs, so that there are more than 20 more talents within the Zhao family out of thin air, and many connections have also been added, and you have added many reliable helpers?" ”

Then, Xiao Wenxuan nodded thoughtfully and said: "This is a shortcut, which can greatly make up for the lack of talents within the Zhao family, and after introducing a large number of talents through marriage, it can not only slightly reverse the unbearable atmosphere within the Zhao family, but after these talents become relatives of adults, they will also be more reliable than others...... What's more, the relatives of these talents have also become your relatives, and if there are any capable people among them, they can also serve the adults, so that the lack of talents under your lordships will undoubtedly alleviate a lot of ...... In fact, the way of recruiting sons-in-law to accommodate talents, such a means is used by all wealthy families, but it is as thorough as you, but it is very rare. “

Zhao Junchen nodded and said: "At the beginning, I asked Zhao Deqing to gather all the women in the clan, and there was the termination of the marriage contract and the dismantling of the sweetheart, which seemed to be a bit of a big move, on the surface, it was just to select concubines for His Majesty, but in fact, I also wanted to take this opportunity to accept some talents for the Zhao family and myself...... After all, without my interference in this regard, with the vision of the Zhao family, these unmarried women will probably be married to some rich landowners in the future, and they really can't bring me any help. ”

Hearing Zhao Junchen's explanation, Xiao Wenxuan finally understood Zhao Junchen's far-reaching plan, and couldn't help but admire: "The adults are far-sighted and thoughtful, Wenxuan admires!" ”

Zhao Junchen asked, "So, do you think my idea is feasible?" ”

Xiao Wenxuan nodded again and again and said, "It's feasible!" ”

Zhao Junchen suddenly smiled and said, "Since it is feasible, is Wen Xuan willing to supervise this matter for me?" According to my thoughts, after the southern tour is over, you don't have to go back to Beijing with me, just stay in the Zhao family in Yangzhou for the time being, and find a group of fast sons-in-law for the Zhao family...... The origin of these sons-in-law does not matter, they can be scholars who have talents but are not yet ambitious, or they can be the children of well-connected officials and businessmen, of course, recruiting as a son-in-law is only one of the means, as long as it is a person who is useful to me, you can use all kinds of means to envelop you...... Nanzhili has always been a place where talents gather and hidden dragons and crouching tigers, as long as you look for them with your heart, you can always gather some talents. ”

Hearing Zhao Junchen's advice, Xiao Wenxuan's expression couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, and he didn't answer for a long time.

At the beginning, the reason why Xiao Wenxuan chose to take refuge in Zhao Junchen, in addition to Zhao Junchen's warm invitation, is also because Zhao Junchen is the core minister in the imperial court, and all kinds of decisions can affect the overall situation of the imperial court, and after Xiao Wenxuan assists Zhao Junchen, he can not only realize his own ambitions, but also participate in the important decisions of the imperial court, and maybe he will be able to make a great career, not only leaving a name for eternity, but also benefiting future generations.

However, Zhao Junchen's current construction is to let Xiao Wenxuan stay in Yangzhou and do things for the Zhao family - although Yangzhou is prosperous, it is a pity that it is far away from the center of the imperial court, although the things Zhao Junchen ordered are also very important, but in the final analysis, it is just the work of the matchmaker and the matchmaker, and this arrangement is far from Xiao Wenxuan's original idea, so Xiao Wenxuan is naturally a little reluctant.

After noticing the change in Xiao Wenxuan's expression, Zhao Junchen was not angry, but persuaded in a gentle tone: "I also know that you think very highly of yourself and have great ambitions in your heart, and you were willing to assist me because this way you can participate in the decision-making of the imperial court and realize your own revenge for governing the country, but I have always asked you to deal with the affairs of the Zhao family, and even let you stay in Yangzhou to do some matchmaker work, so you are a little reluctant in your heart, I can also understand it." ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Junchen's tone was slightly condensed, his expression was much more serious, and he said: "However, you must not underestimate the work of these matchmakers, and your task is not limited to this, in the final analysis, what you have to do is to accept talents and cultivate the team for me, which is extremely important!" If you want to do these things well, you not only need the ability to recognize people, but also need to have the ability to deal with people and win people's hearts...... Therefore, I will not let you stay in Yangzhou all the time, if you can do these things properly, then your vision, means, and knowledge will inevitably increase a lot, and at that time, I will naturally recall you back to the capital and let you do more important things. ”

Zhao Junchen did not lie, he asked Xiao Wenxuan to stay in Yangzhou this time, precisely because he had the intention of experiencing Xiao Wenxuan alone, and it also showed that Zhao Junchen valued Xiao Wenxuan.

Xiao Wenxuan hesitated for a moment and asked, "Then, will Master Su also stay in Yangzhou and deal with this matter with me?" ”

Zhao Junchen shook his head very dryly and said, "No, you will be solely responsible for this matter...... During this time, you have learned enough from Su Xiqing, but I don't want you to continue learning, otherwise you will only become another Su Xiqing in the future...... However, my expectations for you are much higher than Su Xiqing! ”

Hearing Zhao Junchen say this, Xiao Wenxuan finally understood Zhao Junchen's thoughts, and there was no more reluctant thoughts in his heart, and said: "In this case, Wenxuan will definitely go all out and will never live up to your expectations." ”

After opening the knot, Xiao Wenxuan finally shifted his mind to his next work, but suddenly found something strange, and couldn't help but wonder: "My lord, I still have something to understand, since you have the intention to use those unmarried women of the Zhao family to attract talents, why do you want to limit the scope to Nanzhili?" In the capital, there are more wealthy families and young talents, if you marry the unmarried women of the Zhao family to the young talents and eunuchs in the capital, wouldn't it be more effective? ”

Zhao Junchen was silent for a moment, then sighed slowly: "It's not that I don't want to do this, but I don't dare to do it." ”
