Lu Yunzhi nodded and praised: "Dong De is indeed far-reaching, and he gets to the point in one sentence, but as the head of the people, you can't only use the advantages of your subordinates, but also make use of their shortcomings in order to get things done to the maximum effect." ”

Ah Rong obviously just obeyed orders and didn't know the Tao, and Dong De was also very interested for a while, knowing that Lu Yunzhi's words today were more enlightened than him, and it was a wake-up call for them, so that they would not be able to deduct these expenses in the future, so he hugged his fists and said: "I wish to hear the Lord tell him the details." ”

Lu Yunzhi looked at Dong De and Ah Rong in front of him and said earnestly: "They are greedy for money and forget their righteousness, so I let Ah Rong buy two or more slaves in each mansion, the higher the official position, the greater the power, the more eyeliner around him, and it is precisely because of this that I set up a system of increasing the reward of silver according to what Ah Rong said, what you said is very good, the prime minister is a seven-grade official in front of the door, but can the porter and the housekeeper be compared, of course not, if there are people who want to get out of our control, The rest of the eyeliner will come out of their personality and jealous of him, so as to monitor the whereabouts of him and their master more closely, and then report to me, hoping to get my appreciation, as if slightly higher than others," "Of course, there may also be a situation where the slave reports to the master and betrays our secret thirteen, this situation should not happen too much, because these people who are bought are personally selected by Ah Rong, doing business and accounting and financial management, Dong De, you are powerful, if you talk about such things, you are not as poisonous as Ah Rong, is it a bad servant or a loyal slave, He can knock it out at a glance, even if there is such a thing as betrayal, then he has to let the master and this slave disappear at the same time, and these things will be left to the hidden department to do, what they do should be dripping without revealing their proficiency, all in all, even if they make use of their shortcomings, so as to achieve all-round surveillance, we have obtained a lot of useful information before, although this plan has not been implemented for a long time, but the effect is extraordinary. Lu Yunzhi said with confidence,

"As for the servant girl you said, even if she climbs into the master's bed and becomes a concubine, she will not confess her relationship with us, you think she took our silver for so long and betrayed a lot of information about her master, and now even if she becomes a companion bed, she doesn't have the courage to confess to her master that she once betrayed him." Lu Yunzhi said meaningfully, he analyzed human nature very thoroughly, which made Dong De and Ah Rong suddenly have a sense of epiphany that woke up the people in their dreams.

After Dong De and Ah Rong pondered for a moment, Dong De spoke: "What about the brothers in our army, the three strategies I mentioned can be executed. ”

Lu Yunzhi shook his head and said: "None of the three strategies can be used, listen to me slowly, the so-called raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, we have worked hard to arrange for them to enter the army, and spent so much energy, manpower and financial resources to carefully cultivate, and finally let them occupy many important positions, the benefits brought are self-evident, Dong De, your business and our military power, which one is not extremely important, the higher the position they sit, the more beneficial it is to us, and one day the soldiers and horses in the world will become our private army, At that time, who can stop us, your disarmament strategy is really inappropriate, the birds are good to hide, the cunning rabbit is all the lackeys to cook, this kind of cruel trick is not wrong, but usually do not burn incense and temporarily hold Buddha's feet, but it is not a useful behavior, now to cut them out of the secret thirteen, it is equivalent to let them out of control, once the situation changes, who will work for you again, then it will be too late to remedy it, and it is not advisable to reduce the allowance and delay the payment date, this can solve the temporary worry, but it is indeed a hundred harm and only small profits. ”

Ah Rong saw Lu Yunzhi's voice for a moment, and said: "I understand what the lord means, as the reward goes by, more and more people are happy, if there is less and less, it will breed complaints, maybe there will be a gap in the heart, and time can not be delayed, once the delay is delayed, there will be a problem, our control of the members of the army, not only the lure of money, the deterrence of prestige, but also the brotherhood of a bloody battle, which means that we have undoubted integrity." ”

"Well said." Lu Yunzhi praised, Dong De also scratched his head, then stretched out his hand and slapped Ah Rong, pretending to be angry and said: "As far as you are smart, I can not understand this, then you say that the money cannot be moved, the money cannot be moved, what should I do if the lord is short of money." ”

Ah Rong scratched his head, and then said, "I still have about a thousand taels of silver that I have accumulated here, so take it and use it first." Lu Yunzhi said with a smile: "I'm not busy, and I can't afford to let you pay out of your own pocket, in this way, just like the 30,000 taels of silver in the mansion treasury and the 20,000 taels in the heavenly account, it adds up to 50,000, and the second brother has bought a lot of good land in the suburbs before, Dong De, you go back and fold it out for me, see how much, give it to Wang Yulu first, and then you report to me how much is still missing." ”

Dong De exclaimed: "100,000 taels to Wang Yulu, what does he want so much money for, didn't the lord just let me give him more than 10,000 a few days ago, lord, don't tell me any big truth about raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, I just want to say that he doesn't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive, and he wants money all day long, don't condone him, dare to ask for 100,000 today, and dare to ask for 1 million next time." ”

Lu Yunzhi smiled and said: "I know, Dong De, I understand what you said, I will pay attention to it, but Wang Yulu is a talent, what is lacking in any era is talented people, as the so-called thousands of troops are easy to get and difficult to find, so how much money is spent on a talent like Wang Yulu is also worth it, shhh, there seems to be someone outside, there should be four or five people, the leader is very good, since the surrounding hidden parts are not in danger, first of all, Dong De, you will do as I instruct, I have my own arrangements for this matter." ”

While speaking, several eunuchs dressed in palace clothes and court clothes walked into the gate, led by Cao Jixiang, Dong De and A Rong hugged their fists and gave Lu Yunzhi their resignation, and then walked out quickly, Lu Yunzhi also got up to meet Cao Jixiang and shouted: "Yo, isn't this Father-in-law Cao." Cao Jixiang knew Dong De and Ah Rong, and when he saw that they were in a hurry to go out, he didn't say hello, just nodded and passed by.

Cao Jixiang arched his hand and said, "Xiaguan see Young Master Lu." Lu Yunzhi smiled slightly, hugged Cao Jixiang and said: "Father-in-law Cao, don't come to harm, we don't have to be polite between us, I heard that you are very busy with government affairs, how does it feel to be a celebrant eunuch in this high position, and you are still used to it, haha, why are you free to find Lu today." ”
