Chapter 210: The End
With the joint performance of Ding Yuan and Guo Bin being urgently sent to the Beijing Division, there was also a private letter from Guo Bin, which was written to Guo Quan, who was in charge of the overall situation in the Beijing Division.
Don't look at Guo Quan, this kid is giggling in front of Guo Bin, and he can't hold his head up in front of Guo Jia and Zhang Fei, but he has also inherited his father Guo Yong's shrewdness and ability, although he is not very old, he handles affairs in an orderly manner. In addition, he himself is the son of the head of the Guo family, and it is also very authoritative to speak in front of the Guo family, who are in the upper echelons of the Guo Bin Group's branch in Beijing.
Moreover, Guo Quan has a lively temperament, and he is quite familiar, and he has followed Guo Bin on weekdays and has not been in contact with the upper class society of Beijing, plus Yuan Shao often takes care of him, Lu Zhi, Cai Yong, and even Yang Ci and Yang Biao in the DPRK and China are quite different to Guo Fu, so there are very few people in Beijing who are not open-minded.
Therefore, Guo Bin's decision to put Guo Quan in Jingshi to control the situation was also made after careful consideration.
Guo Bin's letter was not for anything else, but only for Guo Quan to transfer a few people from the superfluous hands of the Beijing division to come to Taiyuan to build a new manor as supervisors and technical guides. Nangong's design has been finalized, and all that remains is how to turn these wonderful designs into reality in the hands of skilled workers.
Therefore, with the construction of Nangong on the right track, the construction efficiency of the project has also been greatly improved, and it is a bit of a waste of resources to gather so many "high-end talents" in Beijing.
However, the dispatch of people to Taiyuan only requires them to play the role of technical guidance. The most important building of the manor is the fence, because it is the most basic construction to resist the attack of thieves, reduce the number of guards, and save maintenance costs, so the sooner it is built, it is better to build it. Moreover, the amount of trade in the early stage was not particularly large, so there was no need for too many warehouses and internal facilities, so these things could wait for the wall to be built and then take their time.
Moreover, according to this construction model, the purpose of training construction workers can be achieved in the construction of fences, and they will become more handy when they are engaged in the construction of more complex houses and barns.
Yangzhai Construction Co., Ltd. has a set of effective methods for construction in various places. Because most of the construction projects in various places are the lowest-end and least technically difficult fence construction, they only need to send a few technicians and then recruit people from among the local people. This has proven to be the most effective, fastest, most popular and most cost-effective way to organize. Moreover, this kind of hiring local employees can also increase the company's prestige among ordinary people, and can avoid many of the frictions and conflicts with local people caused by unfamiliarity with local conditions.
Not only that, but it also allows the company to recruit talented and specially trained technicians at an enviable fee after completion and to train them. And these people are all unearthed from the local people, down-to-earth and hard-working, quite talented people.
Subsequently, they will slowly develop into the technical backbone of the company, will be assigned by the company to various places for technical guidance, and have the opportunity to settle down in Yangzhai County. This ensures that the most cutting-edge construction technology is always in the hands of the company's key employees, and that the skills of those who have been hired everywhere, although they can also accept the construction team organized by the local wealthy people, can never be compared with the head office.
It is through this organizational method that Yangzhai Construction Co., Ltd. has maintained a rapid expansion rate while continuously strengthening the construction skills of its employees, while also maintaining its inherent technical advantages.
After the completion of the construction of the new manor, these recruited people will naturally be selected as qualified and qualified people in the construction as key training objects to hone their construction skills in actual work. Subsequently, the company will take advantage of the trend to expand its business, with these technical backbones as the core, and accept the construction or expansion of the estate among the wealthy families of the state. Even, the few technical guidance that came this time can also accept projects similar to the construction of the dragon in the palace, and build warm pavilions for the wealthy families in Taiyuan and even the entire state.
After Guo Bin and Ding Yuan's joint memo was submitted, they didn't wait long for the Son of Heaven's approval to come down. With the support of Yang Ci, He Jin and Lu Zhi, the imperial court decided to follow the example of the three cities outside the Saiwai, and Guo Bin chose his own site to build a manor as a field for the Huns to trade with the Central Plains. After the construction of the field was completed, the imperial court would also send officials to supervise the collection of taxes.
Only three or two days after the approval of the Son of Heaven, the technicians and more than a dozen skilled technicians sent by Yangzhai Construction Co., Ltd. have also arrived in Taiyuan, and they will be the core personnel to preside over the construction of the field. Along with them, there was also a private letter written by Guo Quan to Guo Bin. From the letter, Guo Bin learned that on the matter of beheading the Qiang envoy, there were no other voices in the court.
Empress Dowager Dong's nephew, Guangluxun Dong Chong, once raised objections to Guo Bin's beheading of the envoy of Beigong Boyu. He thought that since Guo Bin could kill the envoy, he could naturally capture him, and when he was captured and sent to Beijing, he would inevitably have a deeper understanding of the Qiang traitor army, and even torture him to find out if he had colluded with the Xianbei people. And Guo Bin directly beheaded him and cut off this clue, not only was it useless, but he was guilty.
As soon as this remark came out, the audience was in an uproar, not only the general He Jin, the Taifu Yuan Kui, the guard Yang Biao, the speaker Cai Yong and others spoke out against it, but Shangshu Lu Zhi even fiercely denounced him as a "minister" and asked the Son of Heaven to "cut it down to thank the world". In the end, the Son of Heaven made a final decision, saying that what Guo Bin did was no less than Ban Zhongsheng that year, and he should have been rewarded, but it still needs to be kept secret in case the rebel Beigong Boyu knows, so he will not be rewarded for the time being.
In fact, for what Guo Bin did, Liu Hong, the son of heaven, was happy in his heart. said a thousand, said 10,000, Guo Bin was promoted by Liu Hong step by step, and from all aspects, Guo Bin is a loyal and capable representative, a real protΓ©gΓ© of the Son of Heaven, and a real confidant of the Son of Heaven. To make it clear, unlike the so-called Northwest Group, Bingzhou Group and other wealthy families, for now, Guo Bin is the most loyal supporter of the Son of Heaven and the so-called "Imperial Party".
Because of this, the Son of Heaven will leave it to the crown prince. not only promoted Guo Bin to the position of Yingchuan Taishou with real power, let him avoid the winds and waves in Yingchuan, which is very close to Beijing, but also did not let him get a high-ranking official who matched his merits, and left this "favor" to the successor Son of Heaven. All these measures show Guo Bin's status in the heart of the Son of Heaven, and at the same time, the superb political skills of the Son of Heaven Liu Hong are also fully revealed.
These conclusions, Guo Bin has long discussed with Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia, but the matter involves the Son of Heaven, and it is inconvenient to explain it too clearly.
The day after the arrival of a group of technicians and skilled technicians, Guo Bin led the people to continue northward after giving them some orders. The development of the construction industry in the state, naturally there will be someone to follow up, Yang Zhai Construction Co., Ltd. employees, most of them from Yang Zhai's wealthy families, although not a talented person, at least from the bottom to participate in the family study, know a few words. It is believed that with the efforts of the company and the promotion of Ding Yuan and other officials in Taiyuan City, the business will be carried out smoothly.
Not only that, Guo Bin even wrote a private letter to the general He Jin, discussing whether to build a wall for the Huns.
When mentioning this issue, Guan Yu once asked Guo Bin: "The so-called non-my race, its heart must be different." The Huns have been fighting against our Han court for hundreds of years, and the wolf is ambitious, why did the lord agree to build a wall for them? β
Guo Bin smiled and asked: "Yun Chang, in your opinion, if the Huns are allowed to defend Taiyuan City, and my Han army attacks, who will win?" β
Guan Yu said without thinking: "The Huns don't know how to defend the city, but our Han army is the best at attacking the city. Therefore, it is to hand over Taiyuan City to the Huns to defend it, and our Han army can also capture it within a few days! Then he suddenly said: "What does the lord mean that even if the Huns have a high wall, they can't resist the offensive of my Han official army?" β
Guo Bin said: "That's half right. β
Zhang Feiqi said: "Oh? What other crooked reasoning does the lord have? β
Guo Bin flew up with a kick, hit Zhang Fei's big fat buttocks, and said, "What is crooked?" Then his face turned grim and said: "Since ancient times, the Huns have lived in pursuit of water and grass and have been living a nomadic life. Its people ride on horseback day and night, grazing cattle and sheep, and hunting bears and tigers, so its riding skills are far superior to the Han army, and its folk customs are far more fierce than the Central Plains. β
Seeing that everyone looked thoughtful, Guo Bin continued: "In addition, the Huns are not strong in armor, the soldiers are not good, and the mechanical ingenuity is far inferior to the Central Plains. Therefore, what the Huns were best at was not defending cities, but field battles in motion. β
Xi Zhicai said: "The lord means that the Huns are locked in with a high wall, so that they abandon their nomadic nature and follow the example of the Central Plains peasants to cultivate grain. Over time, it will inevitably become more and more dependent on our Han court and become a household and a common people who are no different from the people of the Central Plains? β
Guo Jia slapped his thigh hard and said, "Good way!" However, then his face froze, and he sat down slowly and said, "It's just that this method is a bit slow." β
Guo Bin nodded appreciatively and said, "Yes, although this method is effective, if you want to see the effect, I'm afraid it will take ten or eight years later." β
Guo Jia raised his head suddenly, and said excitedly: "This method can not only be used on the Huns, but also for the Qiang people or Xianbei people!" β
Xi Zhicai said slowly: "That's true. β
Guo Bin poured cold water on them and said, "Don't be too happy, the reason why the people outside the Saiwai want to live in pursuit of water and grass, do you know why?" β
Guan Yu said: "Isn't it because the people outside the Saiwai don't know how to harvest?" β
Guo Bin said: "That's the case, but it's not like this. I don't know that I can learn from crops, but the root cause is because of its water and soil. β
Xi Zhicai said: "What the lord means is that it is bitter cold outside the plug and there is little rainfall, so even if you plant crops, it won't grow well?" β
Guo Bin secretly admires in his heart, he is worthy of being an outstanding talent of this era, and he is learning everywhere and all the time. Xi Zhicai was able to draw inferences from one another, and devoted himself to studying the common knowledge of geography popularized by Guo Bin in the Fulong Villa School and even in Yangzhai County. It was no accident that he was able to think of precipitation in the blink of an eye. You must thoroughly study the geography passed on by Guo Bin before you can come to it casually.
