368 Accidents
Although Ni Yuanlu said that he wanted to raise ducks in the Daling River, he was joking, but there was no lack of envy and self-deprecation, because the grenade he made made in the battle of Ningyuan and won three thousand taels, speaking of which, it is not as much as the reward he got for making clothes with duck feathers, and there is naturally some slight grievance in his heart. The latest chapter of this book is first published by Shuhe, who has such a problem, that is, once he finds that there is a gap between the money given to him by his superiors and the money he gives to others, he must have some thoughts in his heart, not for the sake of these gaps themselves, but for his status in the hearts of his superiors or the degree of attention.
It is the usual means of managers to use the gap to promote their subordinates to compete with each other to do things, but to grasp the balance or it is easy to backfire, the most important of which is to be fair β The best way is to first set the basis of rewards and punishments and publicly promulgate them, so that the subordinates can compare their merits and demerits with the system in obtaining rewards or punishments, and then calculate a specific data, and finally the data is completely consistent with the real income, so as to convince people to achieve the effect of motivating people with the gap. If a manager can't do this, it's better to be like Guanyin Bodhisattva Pu Sprinkle Ganlin to pay more evenly.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were three generals with great contributions to the Qi State, because two peaches were not enough for three people, and finally all three people committed suicide, which is the famous story of 'two peaches killing three soldiers'. Some people say that this is the strategy used by the Xiangguo Yan Ying of the Qi State at that time, and he intends to kill these three people who are often rude to him, whether this statement is true or not, but because of the unfair distribution of things that lead to tension between peopleβ there are many things that cause tension between people and there is also one of the reasons why Erhachi raised troops against the Ming Dynasty is that the Ming Dynasty is better for the Mongols than for the Jurchens, although this is an excuse, it can also explain the truth that it is better not to reward unfairly.
Sun Chengzong knew Ni Yuanlu's thoughts, so he said to him: "Shi Quan was originally from Sichuan, and there are many ducks in the Sichuan River, so he knows that the fluff of ducks is better than cotton." At the end of last year, he went to Liaodong to inquire about the news and saw with his own eyes that the Ming army was fighting in winter, because the cotton clothes and armor looked very bloated, so he could not move freely in the battle, and he was not as flexible as the Jurchens wearing leather clothes and armor. After seeing this, he came back and pondered a way, and finally thought of using duck down as cotton, and finally found that the sad effect of a thin layer of duck down was comparable to a thick cotton jacket, so that the overall combat effectiveness of the Ming army would go to a higher level. β
Tianqi also nodded and said: "You have found that no Jurchens generally attack in winter, one of the reasons is that they wear leather clothes and armor in winter, and the Ming army is inconvenient to wear thick cotton clothes and armor, and even some people's armor is not small, and it must be difficult to choose between warmth and protectionβ. Therefore, the reward given to him is 5,000 taels, but this is the last time, and the reward amount must be set in advance in the future, and the temporary quota needs to be participated by many people to ensure fairness. β
Ni Yuanlu said with a smile: "The emperor is too careful, and the minister doesn't think it's unfair, in fact, this Qian minister can also earn it, but I didn't think about it for a while." Isn't there a verse in the ancient poem called 'Spring River Plumbing Duck Prophet'? If you think that the duck can feel that spring is coming from the warming water, it means that it will also swim in the river in the cold winter, and then it means that the duck is not afraid of the cold, and the reason why it is not afraid of the cold is that it has fluff. When the minister returned to the mouth of the two rivers, he drove more other livestock or poultry and wild birds to the river in winter, and saw who was not afraid of the cold, so he peeled off his fur to see what characteristics there were, and he might not be able to find something sadder than duck feathers. β
Apocalypse also smiled: "If you really find out, let the Red Tree Company buy it, and I will reward you privately." β
At this time, an officer from the Military Intelligence Department sent an urgent report, and Sun Chengzong's face immediately changed when he saw the beginning of the report, and after reading it in a hurry, he said to Tianqi: "Your Majesty, something happened to Lianghekou, dozens of people were killed and injured, and the wall of Lianghekou City was blown down a corner. β
Apocalypse asked, "What's going on?" Was it the Jurchens who came to attack or was it the Mongols? β
Sun Chengzong turned his head to look at the person who delivered the letter, and the Jinyi guard who delivered the letter said: "The humble post is only transferred, and the person who really delivered the letter has run out of strength because of the continuous horseback running, and is now drinking water and resting outside, it is estimated that he will talk back immediately after resting for a while, and the humble post will urge him to see if he is resting well." β
Tianqi said: "Don't urge him to rest for a while anyway, it's not bad at this time, Lianghekou to Jingshi is about a thousand miles, if something happens, it looks like it happened yesterday β, people don't talk about the place or chatter, Ni Yuanlu just said that he wants to go back to Lianghekou to raise ducks or skin other poultry and livestock, and someone came to Lianghekou to make trouble and peeled a layer of skin from the city wall, it seems that there is really some taste of providence in it." β
Tianqi said easily, but Sun Chengzong and Ni Yuanlu were not easy in their hearts, one of them was in charge of the Military Affairs Yuan, and the other was in charge of Lianghekou, and if something happened to something, both of them had unshirkable responsibilities, and now they don't know what happened to Shennong's demonic life. Fortunately, it didn't take long for the soldiers who rushed to deliver the report for six hundred miles to be helped over, and the apocalypse asked him to sit down and reply, Sun Chengzong first asked, "What happened?" Is it an enemy attack? β
The soldier's face was a little pale because of overwork, and his voice was a little low and intermittent because of the lack of breath when he spoke, but everyone slowly understood what was going on. It turned out that the bombing of Lianghekou City was blown up by the Ming army's own gunpowder, Ni Yuanlu experimented with grenades as cannonballs in Lianghekou, and naturally brought a lot of gunpowder, because the secrecy measures were done well, the Ming army in Lianghekou did not know what it was, only knew that it was very dangerous, and could not be approached β, because it was necessary to rebuild Huining City, so Lianghekou had to garrison people in order to support the construction of Huining City, and in the process of moving, the gunpowder box fell from a high place and exploded, so it injured people.
Hearing that it was not an enemy attack but a safety accident, everyone let out a long sigh, and Sun Chengzong asked, "How did the soldiers at the mouth of the two rivers react to this accident?" Did Lu Xiangsheng do anything to appease? β
The soldier who delivered the report said: "General Lu asked people to treat the wounded and block the news on the spot, and before the villain set off, he only heard two complaints from someone, and nothing else." β
Sun Chengzong asked, "What are you complaining about?" β
The soldier looked at Ni Yuanlu and said, "It's not a good word, it's about Lord Ni." β
Sun Chengzong raised his voice and said, "Say it directly!" Even if there is something against me, you will say it as it is. β
The soldier said: "They just said a word, saying that when Lord Ni was in Beijing, Wang Gongchang exploded to the mouth of the two rivers and the two rivers ** bombed, and the two estuaries died when they were built, and now they are dead because there is a fork of the river, and the place where Lord Ni and the mouth of the two rivers are unlucky." β
Hearing these words, Ni Yuanlu was also a little uneasy, but after thinking about it, it was indeed the case, when he was in charge of Wang Gong's factory, he exploded as soon as he left, and when he was in charge of the Lianghekou, he also exploded as soon as he left, is there any connection in the dark? The mouth of the two rivers is the confluence of two rivers, and the city of the mouth of the two rivers built there is a mountain behind the river, and it is indeed a dangerous place to be blocked, and there is nowhere to escape, but it has been built, and you can't find a feng shui master now to see the feng shui and then rebuild the all-out war of the resurgence of the empireRead the full text.
After sending away the soldiers who sent the report, Sun Chengzong said: "Your Majesty, this time the minister has an unshirkable responsibility for the accident at the mouth of the two rivers, and the minister only wants to divide a part of the people to come out and station at the mouth of the two rivers to facilitate the construction of Huining City, and he did not take into account that the army will disturb the original layout of the city, and it belongs to the minister's inconsiderate request to the emperor to punish him." The overseer of the Beijing Military Region, Mr. Gao, was sick and could not travel far, so it seemed that only the minister himself went to find out the truth and appease the soldiers. Originally, the minister was going to let Ni Yuanlu do these things, but since there were these rumors, it was not suitable for him to go, so let him stay in Beijing for a while and wait for things to settle down before going. β
Tianqi said: "If you want to repair Ningcheng, you have to send people to protect it, Daning City is big, but you are afraid of being surrounded, so it is also the correct arrangement to divide some people to live in Lianghekou, and it is inevitable that the troops will have to move the place, and it is inevitable that something will happen, and this is not to blame anyone, so you don't have to blame yourself." Since there are such rumors, Ni Yuanlu is right to avoid them first, but what I mean is that Ni Yuanlu simply moved back to Shanglinyuan, which is close to Beijing City and convenient for temporary transfers, Ni Yuanlu happened to do some research there, Lu Xiangsheng was stationed in Lianghekou before Huining was built, Wang Huazhen guarded Gubeikou and Xifengkou Zuo Liangyu assisted from the side, what do you think, sir? β
Sun Chengzong thought for a while and said: "Shanglin Yuan was originally built by Zhao Shujiao in half of the place to build a new type of farm, and later built the other half to live in, now they have withdrawn and even their families have moved to the canal, and the place where they originally lived is empty. However, there are already people placed there, many of them are newcomers who have been newly recruited into the Bo Academy, and some of them are also given by the emperor to be born as Jinshi, will Ni Yuanlu hurt people if he goes there to do experiments? β
Ni Yuanlu originally heard that some people in Lianghekou said that he was unlucky, and he felt comfortable, but now when he heard that his teacher Sun Chengzong was arranging his own heart, it was not a taste, but fortunately, Tianqi said: "Those are just rumors, they can't be true, if he is really unlucky, I often discuss with him, why don't you see any harm?" β
Ni Yuanlu was in a good mood when he heard it, and his heart was still the emperor's knowledge, knowing that those people were talking nonsense, who knew that the apocalypse was next and said: "But even if Ni Yuanlu causes another explosion, he is not afraid, there are three houses built on the hillside on the edge of Shanglin Yuan, which are the monk's temple, the Taoist priest's Taoist temple and the foreign monk's churchβ called this repair is to show those Taixi people that they can coexist peacefully with the monks of the Ming Dynasty, who knows that they don't want to, so it is empty, it is surrounded by the hillside, and if there is another explosion, it will not hurt anyone, In addition, not far from Zhuangzi, he could ask for the assistance of the people of the Bo Academy at any time, and Ni Yuanlu happened to do some research there. β
