Regarding Qiu Chi's words, Ye Zhao naturally understood what they meant.

The so-called political performance is actually the amount of taxes in terms of the imperial court, and it is no secret that the imperial court is short of money now, and the ability of local officials is also evaluated by taxes.

And the level of this political performance will directly affect the career to a large extent, as for the official reputation, to a certain extent, it is also in the hands of these high-ranking families, and therefore, Qiu Chi said that it is not wrong to get good political achievements by having a good relationship with these high-ranking families.

This is already a norm, Ye Zhao was indeed ready to do so before this, but now, Ye Zhao has changed his mind.

After some discussion with Cai Yong, he can already be sure that it will not take long for him to enter the sight of the Son of Heaven, and promotion is no longer his primary goal, what he has to determine now is what kind of image he should leap into the eyes of the world?

Although they are both fame, there is a difference between fame and fame.

Such as Cai Yong, the great Confucian of the world, the teacher of the Son of Heaven, this fame is big enough, right? However, although this kind of fame can be respected by the world, in troubled times, such people are the least likely to achieve careers.

If you think about it from another perspective, whether you are a military general or a strategist, you will not choose such a lord to follow.

Next, he will gradually enter the eyes of the world, and what he has to think about now is how to become a person who has the ability to achieve great things in the eyes of talents?

Renjun?

As soon as this thought appeared, it was dispelled by Ye Zhao, if he was Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao, it would be no problem to be Renjun, because he had enough family background and connections to be this Renjun, and in Ye Zhao's opinion, this was the most suitable path for Yuan Shu, his starting point was too much higher than others, if he took the road of Renjun, it would be easy to gain the support of many scholars who supported him.

But Ye Zhao can't do it, he doesn't have the Yuan family's family background and connections, he really wants to be a benevolent monarch, I'm afraid that he will have to run around for half his life like Liu Bei, accumulate thick and thin, and finally achieve a career.

Although Liu Bei succeeded in history, how many opportunities and talents did he miss because of this name of benevolence?

You should be gracious, but you shouldn't be benevolent, this is the truth that Ye Zhao realized in his last ten years in his previous life.

The higher a person goes, the higher his status, and the more private feelings in his heart cannot be mixed too much.

Liu Beiren?

Benevolence!

Whether it is disguised or not, but even if it is, he has disguised Ren all his life, it is true, but in Ye Zhao's opinion, if there is no Ren word, Liu Bei may be able to go further, and he will not be a late bloomer.

In contrast, Ye Zhao admired Cao Cao even more.

The capable minister who rules the world, the hero of the troubled times!

This is also the path that Ye Zhao chose to take, he wants to be a hero, but before that, he must first be a capable minister.

It sounds a bit contradictory, but it is not contradictory, if there is no accumulation during the period of incompetence, how can the hero who dominates the world come later?

Anyone's achievements are not achieved overnight, Cao Cao is like this, Ye Zhao is also the same, and at this time, Ye Zhao and Cao Cao were somewhat similar in the early days, and even when it came to the family, the Ye family was not as good as the Cao family.

Therefore, what Ye Zhao wants now is not political achievements, but to give the world an impression of a capable minister, so that the world knows his ability.

Of course, if he does a good job, if he fails, it will be just a joke.

In the end, because of the delay of the 'Wei Dian', the people finally missed the nightstay, and when they arrived at Jiwu, the city gate was closed, and the post station was full.

After all, there are not many unruly people like Li Yong, and Ye Zhao is not a bandit, so he can only stay in the wilderness at night.

"We men are used to sleeping in the open, and it's nothing, but Mrs. Xin'er and her two sisters-in-law are daughters, and sleeping in the wild is too unsophisticated!" Guan Hai took a big bite of the chicken in his hand, and said indignantly: "I complain about that villager, if you let me meet him next time, I will ask him to see a certain method?" ”

"It's out of the way." Xin'er handed the warm sake to Ye Zhao and said with a smile: "The maid has served the son since he was a child, and he is not afraid of hardship. ”

"Haha, Mrs. Xin'er don't pay attention to him, why is he upset for you, don't you hear it, this guy is clearly still worried about the things during the day!" Meng Hu on the side laughed when he heard this.

"You, nonsense!" Guan Hai's face turned dark, and he looked at Meng Hu unkindly.

"Okay, someone is coming, Meng Hu, you go and take a look." Ye Zhao suddenly raised his head, interrupted the conversation between the two, looked outside the temporary camp, and frowned.

"Whoa!" Although he didn't know how Ye Zhao would know that someone was coming outside, now that the order had been given, Meng Hu could only stand up and walk towards the outside of the camp.

"Lord, it's really a god, how do you know that there are people from outside the camp?" After a while, Meng Hu came back, looked at Ye Zhao with admiration, and said incredulously.

Not only Meng Hu, but everyone else also looked at Ye Zhao in surprise, you must know that Ye Zhao is the lord, his camp is in the most central position, and the camp here is a col surrounded by water.

Ye Zhao shook his head incomprehensibly and said, "Who is that person?" ”

"Coincidentally, a wealthy businessman in Sui County also came here because he missed the lodging, and saw that I had set up a camp here, and wanted to come and partner with us?" Meng Hu said with a smile: "It's not easy for subordinates to call the shots, so they have to come and ask the lord." ”

"It's okay, since you've met it, it's fate, let them live in." Ye Zhao nodded and said.

"Whoa!" Meng Hu agreed, turned around and left to arrange for someone to come.

"Lord, since you are a wealthy businessman in Sui County, why don't you invite you to ask?" Gao Sheng's expression moved, and he looked at Ye Zhaodao.

Ye Zhao looked at the sky, shook his head and said, "It's dark at night, there's no need to ask, he will come over tomorrow to thank you." ”

"Go and rest, too." Ye Zhao stretched his waist, looked at everyone and said with a smile: "Get up early tomorrow, I don't want to be imprisoned outside Sui County tomorrow night." ”

"Well, I'll retire." Everyone hurriedly saluted Ye Zhao and left.
