"Uncle Li, do you have a new answer to the question I asked you in the afternoon?" Zhao Jie suddenly thought of something and asked.

Li Mu thought for a moment, and then replied: "Well-read, skilled in the art of war, and has a unique view on the use of soldiers. Being anxious to express himself and being overconfident has evolved into a self-congested car, and this kind of general is unacceptable on the battlefield. It is also very dangerous on the battlefield to act too sharply in the thinking of using soldiers, dare to gamble and fight, overemphasize the importance of attack, overly pursue and rely on the bravery of soldiers, and fail to think about defeat first and victory later. is quite lacking in the thinking of leading soldiers, and it is too whimsical. It must be known that in today's world, if you want to command a general with an army of hundreds of thousands of people, you must have tens of thousands of elite cronies, so that you can command the army like an arm, and this is the most important foundation for a general. ”

"This is the correct solution on paper!" Listening to the evaluation of professional Li Mu, Zhao Jie thought of it.

As the saying goes, a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, and a person needs to go through a long period of training to become a famous general, and these experiences can give them the necessary qualities of a famous general. Carefully exploring the life of Zhao Kuo's father, Zhao Hao, we will find that these qualities are indispensable: bravery, benevolence, strategy, and disability.

Zhao Hao directly reprimanded Ping Yuanjun, and the things that were finally appreciated have always been praised, but few people will notice that Zhao Hao's behavior is in exchange for a chance to make a career in the case of abandoning his personal safety, because if he is not careful, Pingyuan Jun is likely to kill Zhao Hao in a fit of anger. After his career, Zhao Hao's personality still has an element of death. Before the battle of Que He, King Zhao Huiwen asked Zhao Hao, and Zhao Hao met the brave man on a narrow road, which was enough to show his fearlessness. This quality deeply influenced Zhao Kuo. Judging from Zhao Kuo's performance in the Battle of Changping, he carried forward and inherited this very well. It is estimated that when he met his father underground, he had nothing to be ashamed of in terms of bravery and fearlessness.

Perhaps it was Zhao Hao's heroic and fearless light that overattracted Zhao Kuo's attention, Zhao Kuo only saw his father's bravery, but did not find his benevolence, scheming, and cruelty. Benevolence refers to the careful management of the army, the promotion of food and clothing to one's subordinates, and the sharing of any reward, so as to cultivate cronies and generals and soldiers, otherwise how to command soldiers. Conspiracy refers to planning for various situations in advance according to the information in hand, combined with the wisdom of everyone, in case the battle is caught off guard, and it is to plan and then move, otherwise how to fight. Cruelty means cruelty, war is killing, its purpose is to destroy as many living forces as possible of the enemy, and for this goal can be done to the extreme, otherwise how can the enemy country be weakened. Looking at Zhao Kuo in the Battle of Changping, he was brave and brave, but he was unkind, unplanned, and disabled.

He has never led the army alone, does not have an army of cronies who follow him all the year round, and directly commands more than 400,000 people. Before the war, the strong change of generals seized power, which caused the uneasiness of the generals, and at the same time they were arrogant and arrogant, and they easily sent troops, and they were finally surrounded, and they did not come out, which was unplanned; After being surrounded, he only knew how to blindly disperse and break through, but he didn't expect to gather people to fight to the death, and he would lose both.

His father said that he talked about soldiers on paper, and his mother said that he didn't know about soldiers, all of which were to tell Zhao Kuo the qualities he lacked, and to remind him to go to the grassroots level for training. It's a pity that Zhao Kuo didn't understand his father's words, and he was still self-righteous, and finally buried the national fortune of Zhao State.

In the dark, Zhao Jie thought a lot, and took this as a warning in his heart. After a long time, Zhao Jie sighed deeply.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

The next day, when Zhao Jie woke up from his sleep, Li Mu left the prince's mansion. "Your Highness, are you still going out today?" Yanjing asked while serving Zhao Jie.

"I'm going to the Northwest Acropolis today, and I have important things to do." Zhao Jie nodded and said, "You don't have to go with me." ”

At the end of the day, accompanied by a guard, Zhao Jie took a carriage to the Northwest Acropolis.

"Brother Zhao, thanks to you this time, otherwise I would have lost all my money. With these Mojia papers, I will go back to Qi and resell them a little, and I will be able to develop again. A passer-by said heroically.

"Are we friends? What are you talking about? Another person who was a little blessed said with a nonchalant face: "Brother is already developed, come to me for anything in the future, do you know?" ”

The Qi people nodded, and then boarded the carriage and left, while the Zhao people swaggered towards the city.

A conversation was clearly heard by Zhao Jie, who was passing by. Zhao Jie looked curiously at the Zhao people who sent the Mojia paper, and suddenly found that the person was the guard he appointed to supervise the papermaking.

"Grab it for me!" Zhao Jie in the carriage said to the guards beside him. "Money corrupts people so fast." Zhao Jie thought secretly.

It only took a few seconds for Zhao Jie's new guards to catch the old guards who had already made fortune in front of Zhao Jie.

"Your Highness spares your life!" The old guard recognized Zhao Jie at a glance and immediately begged for mercy.

"Spare your life, just kidding, it's a waste to catch your chicken today, and not kill you to scare the monkeys." Zhao Jie glared coldly, and said sharply: "Catch it for me and take it to the paper workshop." ”

With a loud cry of forgiveness, Zhao Jie approached the papermaking workshop. The loud noise attracted the attention of the workers, and after a while, Zhao Jie's surroundings were crowded with people.

"Everyone's listening." Zhao Jie pointed to his former guards and roared loudly: "It has been more than a year since this workshop opened, and I think you probably know that what you produce is a valuable Mojia paper. Maybe you have stolen the Mojia paper produced, maybe you have attempted to steal paper, since I have not been caught, I will not investigate the past. But in the future, from now on, if I find out that you are using your position to enrich yourself, then I am sorry, and he will be your fate. ”

"Execution!" Zhao Jie gave an order. "Poof!" With a bang, the person's head and neck separated, and blood splattered everywhere, spraying onto the people around him.

"Maybe some of you will think that if you secretly take some Mojia paper and sell it, you can get a considerable amount of money, and with this money, you can leave this place, and you will never come back without worry. But now this son tells you not to be delusional, because Lone will definitely find you, and then arrest you and torture you severely, so that your life is worse than death. You should all have a rough idea of who I am, and you should know that I'm not talking big. Zhao Jiewei threatened. When the listeners heard this, they couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

After beating a stick, it was naturally time to give red dates, Zhao Jie changed his words and said: "Of course, Lone is not a cold-blooded person, you work for me, and I will not treat you badly." Recently, I will set up a book villa, and you can send your children to school for free. I will also set up a place for the elderly to live, and you can send your elderly parents in for free to recuperate. In addition, if you are really in trouble in life, you can apply to the manager for help, and if I can do it, I will help you to complete it. ”

"Thank you, Childe!" In this era, the people's requirements are not high, and after listening to Zhao Jie's words, they thanked them enthusiastically.

"Let's all go to work!" Zhao Jie waved his hand and ordered. So everyone returned to their posts one after another, and Zhao Jie quietly walked into the warehouse.

The small room was full of snow-white paper, Zhao Jie picked one up casually, looked at it, smelled it, touched it, and then said to himself: "The quality is not bad!" I don't know how the production efficiency is? ”

What to think, what to come, it just so happened that at this time, another papermaking workshop owner appointed by Zhao Jie came. "Meet Your Highness!" As soon as the old guard saw Zhao Jie, he knelt down and begged for mercy: "I beg Your Highness to spare my life, the villain is greedy, and he also stole some Mojia paper for sale!" ”

"The effect of killing chickens and waiting is really good!" Zhao Jie thought excitedly. But verbally, Zhao Jie still said without annoyance: "I said that if you don't blame the past, you must not blame the past, as long as you take care of this workshop for me, I will ensure that you have a bright future and a rich life." ”

"Thank Your Highness for not killing." The old guard kowtowed and thanked him: "The humble post will definitely live up to His Highness's high expectations." ”

"I think these papers are pretty good, do you know what the paper output rate is today?" Zhao Jie continued to ask.

Although the owner of the workshop didn't quite understand what the papermaking rate meant, he probably guessed Ke Zhao Jie's thoughts, and he replied: "According to His Highness's original request, we have improved the way of producing Mojia paper after many failures and attempts over the past year, and now there are about a dozen damaged sheets for every hundred sheets produced. ”

"It's already pretty good." Zhao Jie praised: "Now that the sales points in various countries have been roughly determined, I think you can expand the scale of production." ”

Zhao Jie continued to instruct: "Tomorrow, you go to my house, take three or four hundred taels to buy a bigger piece of land, build facilities, recruit more people, produce more paper, and it is expected that in a month, we will start selling Mojia paper." ”

"No!" The old guard replied respectfully, "The lowly duty will be a successful task." ”

"Keep up the good work." Zhao Jie encouraged the old guard: "See you tomorrow!" ”。 After speaking, Zhao Jie left the paper workshop directly.
