"Husband, don't you have to go and collect grain and grass?"

"No, just leave it to your subordinates."

Yuan Xi sat cross-legged on the couch, holding a Zhuangzi, looking at it thoughtfully, chatting with each other, and his thoughts flew out of the clouds.

Although Zhen Ji heard a lot of new words that night, such as the central ministries and commissions, the secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, Shuangkai, etc., she had no concept after all, and she was regarded as hearing another story of Zhuangzi dreaming of butterflies. For the Yuan Xi in front of him, he cherished it even more. A wonderful partner with a big brain, who is both talented, but also a little delusional, and unrestrained. It's a pity that it's a bit old-fashioned, and he said that he wanted to see Zhuangzi, but he really didn't touch himself.

She picked up a bunch of grapes, fed her man, and said, "Lu Fanglu and the others have been diligent and active in their work these days, which is completely different from before. Yuan Fu asked if you want to accept a few more readers? ”

The grapes are a bit sour, but they are a delicious fruit at this time. Yuan Xi licked his lips, waved his hand and said, "Don't accept it, if there are many people, your heart will be mixed." I'm in good shape. Once a person has a head, he will work hard, as long as he exerts 120% of his strength, he can do everything well. However, it still needs to be properly dialed, which is all about the heat. ”

"Now I don't understand what you're talking about." Zhen Ji said again: "A few days ago, my mother came to see me and asked me if I was okay here?" ”

"What do you say?"

"I said fine...... However, she also asked about other things......

Yuan Xi looked at her delicate face and blushed, and asked, "Did you ask about when you were holding the baby?" ”

"Huh," Zhen Ji said, "How do you know?" ”

"It's just human nature. I also met my father-in-law, and I also met your eldest brother. They were overjoyed to see me. ”

Zhen Ji said: "What's the matter? Why didn't they come to see me......"

Yuan Xi said: "Silly girl, they can't be busy." Now I buy their surplus grain at five times the market price, and they can't get it yet. ”

When Zhen Ji heard this, she just frowned and said: "Although the concubine is married to the Yuan family, she can't be so favoritistic, if it is spread out, I am afraid it will cause criticism." ”

Yuan Xi snorted lightly and said, "I just want to provoke criticism." ”

At this time, someone knocked on the door outside, and Lu Fang, who had a dusty face, entered the door.

Lu Fang looked like he had lost half a circle, obviously trying his best to purchase food, and saw Yuan Xi hurriedly said, "My lord, I have already spread the news as instructed." Originally, the Cui family and the Fan family were all watching, but when they heard that the Zhen family had already bid for food in the countryside, they all came to find the villain. ”

Yuan Xi said "um" and said, "You can follow this matter." Remember, starting now, it is enough to lower the price by three times the market price. ”

Lu Fang was stunned, raised his head and asked, "My lord, will it be ...... to do this?"

Yuan Xi said: "Are you afraid that they will not do it?" Don't worry, you tell them that the grain stock is almost empty now, and the price will drop later, so let them sell it as soon as possible. There is as much interest as there is a quota of grain. Sell a penny, and lend him a penny. To be clear, I don't believe they don't move. ”

This is simply an empty glove white wolf method. In the eyes of the people of this age, it is a sin to get something for nothing. Whether it is the Cui family or the Fan family, these big families usually save money and food, which is equivalent to dead things. Now you can benefit from the money turnover in the warehouse for no reason, which is equivalent to buying a financial product, who can not take the bait.

Lu Fang thought about it, and his mind was in chaos, but he had a benefit, and he couldn't figure out that it was right to do it first, so he answered and went out.

Zhen Ji said: "Husband, Lu Fang, do you believe it?" In case ......"

Yuan Xi said: "Are you afraid that he will be bought?" Rest assured, don't use suspicious people, don't doubt people. What I can give him is much better than money. ”

Zhen Ji tilted her head to look at him, wondering what was better than money. In her opinion, only books have a house of gold.

Lu Fang and the other three went out to run errands, leaving Yuan Xi alone to read the book, but he was a little bored, he called Yuan Fu to help him sort out the manuscript.

Yuan Fu was pulled by him every day, and he couldn't get out, so he had to squint his presbyopia and diligently help him sort out the manuscript. Zhuangzi doesn't have many words, as long as the explanation is smooth, some details don't need to be finely buttoned, and gradually a framework can be sorted out.

Zhuangzi was born in an era when a hundred schools of thought contended, when there were not so many rules, and the thinking was much freer. Zhuangzi advocated freedom and was unwilling to devote himself to a bureaucratic career, but he was very similar to Yuan Xi's temperament.

Freedom and order are two eternal themes. Order does bring efficiency, it brings organizations together, and everyone can contribute to it. The army is a typical monster of order. But order inhibits individuality, leading to an increasingly bureaucratic and uninnovative inability to cope with drastic changes in society.

Henry Ford's assembly line is an extreme example of order, where every worker is a screw, they can't speak, they can't leave their posts, they can only do their jobs according to their functions. At one time, half of the world's automobiles came out of Ford's factories, and Henry Ford's prestige reached its peak at that time. Unfortunately, the world is not static, and when people meet their basic needs and pursue the diversification of automobiles, his set cannot keep up with the pace of the times, which makes GM emerge.

As an individual, Yuan Xi is extremely disgusted by this hierarchical organizational structure, which stifles the individual's freedom and innovative spirit. But standing on a high ground, I have to admit that in the Three Kingdoms era, when food was scarce and wars were frequent, this was the most rapid way to integrate resources.

Yuan Xi is already a little disgusted with doing things under Yuan Shao, and he has to fight wits and courage with villains like Fengji Guotu at every turn, beware of his brother suddenly sticking a knife in both ribs, the key is that he can't see hope. When the battle of Guandu arrived, the army was defeated like a mountain, and as a son of Yuan Shao, I am afraid that he will be chased all over the world, and maybe one day he will be cut off and presented to Cao Cao's case. Or perhaps, before he lived to that time, he was killed by his father and brother. Such a cannibalistic society, with an uncertain future, makes him sleep unsteadily every day.

"Looks like time is running out. I have to find some talents quickly, build a leadership team first, it's too tiring to do everything by myself......"

Yuan Fu wiped his sweat, raised his head, looked at Yuan Xi who was lying on the side leisurely with his feet crossed, and asked, "Second son, why are you too tired?" ”

Yuan Xi turned around and showed a mouthful of white teeth at him, and said, "I said that you are too tired and hard." I have to catch an old turtle for you to replenish your body. ”

Yuan Fu let out an "oh" and said, "There are good things in the room today." He mysteriously lowered his voice and said, "It's freshly sawn deer antler velvet." Do you want to taste it, the old servant can make people stew into soup......"

Yuan Xi said: "Deer antler? Forget it, I'll talk about it after my Zhuangzi is finished. I haven't digested the Tiger Whip from last time. This thing is like a fire that burns me all day long, and I'm afraid this body won't be able to withstand it. ”

As he spoke, the bamboo slip in Yuan Xi's hand was put away with a "snap".

Yuan Fu raised his head.

Yuan Xi said: "It's done." You will send the antler velvet tomorrow first......"
