Chapter 65 Words and deeds change Kongming
Or, Zhuge Liang wanted to protect Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun's situation in the Shu Kingdom (actually the Han Kingdom) was not very good, not to mention his low status, and he did not have many friends, so he was ostracized by many people.
This has something to do with the suggestion that Zhao Yun put forward to Liu Bei when Bashu was just pacified, when Liu Bei was ready to reward the house and money in Chengdu to his subordinates, Zhuge Liang alone got 500 catties of gold, 1,000 catties of silver, 50 million catties of money, and 1,000 horses in this reward, and there was no house in it. That's because under Zhao Yun's suggestion, Liu Bei took back the house, otherwise Zhuge Liang would have received more rewards.
History is confusing, and no one knows what these people really thought. It is precisely because of this confusion that it gives people room for reverie.
After the perfectionist Zhuge Liang received the task given by Zhang Yi, he immediately started to handle it. He strives for perfection and does everything Zhang Yi explains.
But this is not what Zhang Yi wants, and then Zhang Yi began to give him some special tasks, time-limited tasks, to complete a certain amount of work within a certain amount of time.
After Zhuge Liang got these tasks, he found that there were a lot of things, and he had no way to complete them within the time limit. This made him very distressed, what can he do? He couldn't finish it at all in the first place, because he was still used to perfection.
When the time was up, Zhang Yi went to look for him, and seeing that he was not done yet, he asked, "How do you feel?" ”
Zhuge Liang sighed, "There are too many things, too little time." ”
Zhang Yi said with a smile: "Actually, these things are easy to solve. ”
Zhuge Liang looked at him, Zhang Yi took those documents, took a cursory look, and then divided them into two parts, took the thick part and said: "These are some small things, you can completely hand them over to the subordinate scribes to do." ”
Zhuge Liang said: "I'm afraid they won't do well. ”
"Why do you think so? Do you need to go to a procurement task yourself? Zhang Yi took down the first task and pressed it on the table, "This task of buying pen and ink, the purchase of the people below is almost 3,500 yuan, if you go by yourself, how much can you save?" ”
"About 3,000 dollars!" Zhuge Liang said.
"That's about five hundred dollars left! But it took you half an hour. And in half an hour, you can complete at least one important thing, such as this, the whole army buys, this is a big business involving tens of millions of dollars, and you can completely see if there is any problem in half an hour! Zhang Yi took out one of the small stacks of documents and handed it to Zhuge Liang.
Zhuge Liang looked at it for a while, and then said, "There are several prices that are not right. ”
"Of course not!" Zhang Yi took the piece of paper with a smile, and then said, "This is a fake made by me, and many of them are beyond the market price." If you follow the above, you can save me tens of millions of dollars. ”
Zhuge Liang smiled dumbly, he didn't expect that he, the lord, would fake documents in order to teach himself a lesson. Which lord's guild does this to his subordinates? It's not a toy, it's a nurturing. For a while, Zhuge Liang felt that he had really met his master, and under such a master, he felt that he could show his strengths.
Zhuge Liang said that he had been taught, and said that he would make changes.
After Zhang Yi heard this, he laughed together, being able to convince Zhuge Liang is what a happy thing! He put his arm around Zhuge Liang's shoulders and said, "I'm not busy today, I'll invite you to drink!" ”
As he spoke, he picked up the stack of more important documents on the table, tore them all up, and then picked up those unimportant documents and threw them directly to the scribe.
Zhuge Liang was stunned when he looked at it from behind, what was the situation? Are all those important documents fake?
Zhang Yi laughed: "Kong Ming, do you think I will have so many arms procurement tasks here?" I haven't been ready to move troops for the past two years, so why are I buying so many munitions? ”
Zhuge Liang thought about it, and it seemed that this was really the case. He didn't think about it at the time, who would have thought that official documents could be faked! Is this a good offense? Only Zhang Yi, the lord, would be so willful that he faked to teach him.
Zhang Yi took Zhuge Liang back home, and the two talked while drinking. Zhang Yi told Zhuge Liang: "My development over the years is actually very good, if I really want to attack Cao Cao, Cao Cao will definitely not be able to resist my army." But I didn't attack Cao Cao directly, do you know why? ”
Zhuge Liang thought for a while, and said tentatively: "The lord doesn't want to repeat the mistakes of the Han family, right?" ”
Zhang Yi smiled with relief, "You are still the first person to see it." ”
"Do you know why there is a disruption in the Han Chamber? Is it really just because of Wang Mang? Zhang Yi asked and answered: "Wang Mang is just a representative, he represents the family." You are also a member of the family, and you should know that the power of the family is too great, and it has seriously provoked the imperial power. You see that since the rise of Guangwu Zhongxing, the vast majority of the imperial court is under the control of the family, and many relatives are from the family, and only when the eunuch is in power can it be regarded as in the hands of the emperor. ”
Zhuge Liang thought about it and nodded. No one has really considered the affairs of the court from this aspect, but all that Zhang Yi said is the truth.
Zhang Yi continued: "The struggle for power and profit in the court actually has little impact, because for the people, whoever is an official above is the same, and they are far away from them. But what the family did in various places is not good, not to mention the rest, just one annexation of land, which makes all places restless. How do those who have lost their land live? can only rise up, even if there is no Zhang Jiao, there will be Wang Jiao and Li Jiao. ”
"The Yellow Turban Rebellion was just the beginning, and there were many rebellions everywhere after that. It is inevitable for the imperial court to let all localities have military power, because it is simply unrealistic for the imperial court to continue to send troops to quell the chaos, and the movement of the army is ten thousand taels of gold, even if Emperor Ling sells all his official positions every year, he can't fill this hole. ”
"If I can't solve the problems of the family, even if I become the emperor, I will just let future generations repeat the mistakes of the past, and I don't want such a dynasty!"
Zhuge Liang was shocked by Zhang Yi's words, although Zhang Yi had some big rebellions in his words, he said it frankly. It is better to have a frank lord than to have a lord whose majesty is unpredictable.
Zhang Yi said to Zhuge Liang: "Kong Ming! I admire you very much, you are a genius. But the plenum is not as good as specialization, your energy is limited, and you need to use your limited energy to do more meaningful things. ”
Zhuge Liang arched his hand: "Teachable!" ”
