[Apocalypse 366 Page 1]

Sun Yuanhua and Mao Yuanyi both wrote military books, Mao Yuanyi's "Wubei Zhi" is a collection of ancient and modern military classics, and Sun Yuanhua's "Western Law Divine Machine" mainly introduces how the Taixi people make gunpowder, and the two can be regarded as a combination of Chinese and Western complements each other. They are not only interested in military affairs, but also are official eunuchs, at least their grandfather's generation are officials, this kind of capable and knowledgeable officials, the second generation of officials, the third generation of officials have a common characteristic, that is, on the surface, they are kind and courteous, but in fact, they regard themselves very highly, and they have no spare eyes, in their eyes, in the current Ming Dynasty, in terms of military talent, they themselves do not say that they are among the best, at least rank in the top ten.

Who knows that today I heard the apocalypse say that a person can only be regarded as a talent if he can integrate theory with practice, and he can only say the big truth, but he can only do it, or he can only use it, but in the emperor's heart, it is the same thing. Hearing this, the two of them couldn't hold their faces, Mao Yuanyi endured it and said: "The ministers must observe the specific behavior of the craftsmen more carefully when they are free, and they must understand the questions that the emperor began to ask." ”

Tianqi shook his head secretly when he heard this, and said in his heart, he still can't put it down, he just said to observe more, and if he doesn't understand, be humble and ask others if he will die? Confucius also said that he was not ashamed to ask, not to mention who is more noble than others in terms of learning when advocating equality now? He knew that it was enough to say more now, so he smiled and said, "Master Mao is not far from turning forty this year, right?" I'm afraid that Master Sun is almost fifty, and you have long passed the age of learning art. Of course, you can be interested in observing more, but I don't want you to be generalists, but I want you to train more people, and this is the real purpose of me looking for you today. ”

Sun Yuanhua asked: "I don't know what the emperor wants his ministers to do?" ”

Tianqi said: "A few years ago, my Ming army was always defeated in battles with the Jurchens, and many people thought that the soldiers were incompetent, but in fact we were not good at it, and each person and each army had their own characteristics, which cannot be generalized. The main reason is that many of us think that the Ming soldiers are all-rounders, who can defend the city and fire cannons and ride horses to kill, and can repair the city and build walls when they have nothing to do, which is completely wishful thinking. Later, after the offense and defense were separated, the situation changed greatly, and there was no other reason because you can do the same thing well, and you should also learn to understand it. ”

As soon as the words of the apocalypse came out, even Ni Yuanlu secretly laughed in his heart, and said in his heart, how can this emperor say something for a while, how to let his subordinates understand what you mean. Sun Yuanhua and Mao Yuanyi felt even more confused, Mao Yuanyi asked: "The emperor began to say that the ministers and others did not achieve the requirements of linking theory with practice to become generalists, and even if they could not become generalists, they should strive to cultivate some generalists. Should the emperor and the ministers devote themselves to performing their duties, or should they strive to achieve or cultivate all-round talents? ”

Because Tianqi is the emperor, Mao Yuanyi said that he dared to ask, if it was someone else who said something that made him feel that it was a contradiction, I am afraid that he would have started to ridicule and ridicule a long time ago. Sun Chengzong sat aside and didn't speak, and when he saw Mao Yuanyi ask this, he said: "It seems that you didn't pay attention to the emperor's painstaking efforts, the emperor means that when you are preparing, you must try to be fully prepared and strive for everything, and when cultivating people, you should also try to make them multi-specialized and versatile." But when using people, try to let people specialize in the same, so that they can focus on not be distracted, because people's energy is limited, and it is very likely that they will not be able to manage everything well. ”

At this time, Tianqi said: "Sir, what he said is too right, didn't the ancient sages talk about ruling by inaction? It means that the manager subdivides things into individuals, and he only needs to look at the overall situation and coordinate as a whole. How can managers be sure of this? It is because he has cultivated a lot of all-round talents in ordinary times, and there are many people for him to use at that time, and they will be used at the top. If you don't pay attention to the cultivation of your subordinates, there will be no talent available at critical moments, and you can only use them indiscriminately, and it will inevitably happen when Zhang Fei embroiders and makes Ni Yuanlu dance a sledgehammer. ”

Ni Yuanlu said: "How can the emperor make fun of his ministers? Can this body dance with a sledgehammer? ”

Tianqi said: "So we have to cultivate and discover talents in ordinary times, and use them reasonably at critical times, you see that we usually cultivate and excavate strong warriors like Lu Xiangsheng and Zu Dabi, as well as Cao Wenzhao and Zuo Liangyu Superb martial arts generals, and pull them out to fight at critical moments without Ni Yuanlu." But if we indiscriminately command the loss of troops and let the enemy have already killed the enemy, Ni Yuanlu still has to work hard to resist the sledgehammer to meet the enemy. ”

Sun Yuanhua said: "The minister understands what the emperor means, whether it is for things or people, we must be more lenient and prepared, but when using it, we must try to arrange it carefully so that they can cooperate with each other, so that everyone will not be defeated one by one." But the minister still didn't figure out why he wanted to split it? Now that we can learn from each other and understand each other, we can try to cultivate everyone into talents with multiple abilities. ”

Tianqi said: "At present, this is the case, let's just start asking those questions, you people who write books and engage in theories will definitely not have too close contact with those who are dirty, and many of those craftsmen have learned their crafts from the master since childhood, I am afraid that many words are illiterate, and you naturally don't like to have more contact with them, because you are scholars, and you think that you have an identity and status, and you should be 'talking and laughing, and there is no white ding'." Even if you listen to my words today and are willing to communicate with them more, the question is whether they have time to talk to you normally? Will you and others in the future have normal conversations with each other? ”

Sun Yuanhua said: "The emperor can issue an edict to everyone, just say that there is no distinction between high and low in the exchange of knowledge and experience, so there may be no need to split." ”

Apocalypse said: "Forcibly asking only for the surface, but it can't be done to make people do it sincerely, and it's not easy for me to make an order for such a thing." Rather than allowing the DPRK and Chinese officials to do some superficial things against their original intentions in the future, it is better to find a way to let them do what they want to do, and only long-term benefits can be achieved this effect. In fact, we are able to speak here because of long-term interests, do you think that if you don't get any rewards or anything for being an official in the court, will you do things for me wholeheartedly? I'm afraid I've already found another job. ”

Sun Chengzong nodded and said: "The emperor's words are a bit straightforward, but there is a certain amount of truth, I think that the Jurchens want to enter the customs is also to grab things, if they enter the customs not only can not grab things, but also dangerous, then invite them to come, they will not come, so the emperor said that it is reasonable to use long-term interests to drive people to do things." ”

"Think about it," said Apocalypse, "if you want to do something that is more difficult, and there is no competition or reward, you are likely to use your estimation to designate who will cooperate with you. The people who participated were lazy and lacklusten, and those who did not participate felt that they were not taken seriously, and if this continued, not only would things not be done well, but also people's hearts would gradually be discouraged, which would not be good for you, them, me, or the court. If I post what I want to do and put a price on it, do you have to choose someone who is capable to cooperate with you when you choose someone? Do you communicate a lot when you don't have anything to do? This is the power of interests is a hundred times better than the next few decrees! ”

Ni Yuanlu said: "Is the emperor just like when he asked his ministers to make grenades, let everyone make small cannons? ”

Apocalypse nodded and said, "I want to motivate people in this way, but unlike you before, I don't assign specific people to do it now, I set goals and prices first, and then post them for those who want to compete." Competitors should first give a specific plan for us to see its feasibility, including the required items, the required time, the required policy cooperation, etc. We can choose the best of the many competitors, preferably openly so that it does not feel unfair, and at the same time say that if the winner of the competition exceeds his original plan in terms of time and money, we have the right to let the second competitor do it. ”

Sun Chengzong said at this time: "At first, the minister only listened to a general idea, but now there is a question, which project gives money and what project does not give money?" Will you develop a habit of not doing things or dragging it out if you don't do it well, and then finish it after the emperor sets the price, isn't this a bad problem? ”

Apocalypse said, "Sir has a point, and that's why I want the Red Tree Company to intervene. If you have to pay for everything, then what do you have to do? Why don't we go out and work every day? I am going to separate the craftsmen who are now under the Arsenal Department of the Ministry of War, as well as those who are engaged in research in the Military Industry Department of the Bo Academy, and they will be divided into four places first, namely Wang Gongchang, Juehua Island on the coast of Ningyuan, Shanglin Yuan, and Lianghekou. Use these people to set up a shelf first, and then add people, and then arrange general affairs in turns, who can't do it, others can do it, it means that you lack ability, and if you can't do it, you will concentrate the collective power to make people public. ”

Sun Chengzong asked: "If you can't do it, do you have to use money to offer a reward?" ”

Tianqi shook his head and said: "The Red Tree Company is a profit-oriented company, only after spending the money can be sold for money, the Red Tree Company will invest ♀ in the people who can exist in the name of other companies, usually do some days to earn money, when there is a difficult and promising demand, the Red Tree Company will pay a reward." Of course, there are no fools in the world who only pay money and do not ask for returns, these investments will be used after the results are produced, and part of the military expenses for the purchase of these equipment will flow into the account of the Red Tree Company. ”
