In the palace, Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, was reading a book, and Prime Minister Fang Xuanling also came to report on his work.

"Xuan Ling, what's going on with Yan Lide, the Snow Shame Military Supervisor? It's been eight days now, can that kid Jingwen still hold on? Li Shimin asked.

Li Shimin made a bet with Fang Xuanling, saying that Jingwen would definitely not last ten days, and he would definitely come to Li Shimin to resign. Because Li Shimin thought that Jingwen's ability was probably insufficient, and he could not control the management of an army of 40,000 people. Managing 40,000 people, and this is also a direct management, which is very labor-intensive. Officers are different from civilian officials, who are only responsible for macro regulation and control, and do not need to be specific to the lives of ordinary people. However, the officer is also responsible for the eating, drinking, and sleeping of each soldier, so the management is very complicated. And Jingwen probably can't hold it, so Li Shimin dares to say that Jingwen will definitely not last ten days. Li Shimin was born as an officer, so how could he not know the complicated process of managing the army?

But Fang Xuanling said helplessly: "Your Majesty, the news reported by Yan Lide told Sùchen Jingwen that this kid is very idle!" Jingwen, this kid is still happy in Chang'an City, and he is having a good time with the proprietress who eats and drinks every day! As for Jingwen, this kid, also went to visit Cheng Yanjin's old horseman's daughter from time to time, looking complacent. ”

"Hmph, if Zhijie knew that his daughter was taken by this kid Jingwen, he probably wouldn't have to be mad? Let's not talk about it yet, let's see what he does! However, how can this kid Jingwen still have the heart to date a woman here? Isn't he fighting with those official duties? If he goes on a date, isn't it just a mess in the army? Li Shimin asked.

But Fang Xuanling took out a document and handed it to Li Shimin. Li Shimin looked at this report, and his face immediately became a little crying and laughing. From this, he knew that Jingwen actually recruited a large number of staff, and then formed three staffing agencies, so that he could manage military affairs smoothly. And there are more than 200 clerks, which is enough to extend their tentacles to all aspects of the grassroots of the army, and as a result, the grassroots units of the army are all arrested to death. Not at all out of control. And most of the things were handled by those who were called staff officers, and Jingwen only needed to deal with some important things. And how many important things can there be? So most of the things are gradually broken down by various departments, and finally become a small thing.

"Is this considered a private official position?" Li Shimin asked suddenly.

Fang Xuanling immediately asked cautiously: "This depends on the emperor's intentions, if the emperor thinks that this is a private official position, it will be treated as a rebellion according to the law." But if the emperor doesn't care, this is that he recruits some staff to help him deal with things, and it is not a private official position. ”

Li Shimin shook his head and said; "Rebellion? He didn't dare! This kid is definitely not a rebel material, so I am very relieved. But he's too ......."

"Your Majesty. Do you want this kid to dismiss these staff? Fang Xuanling asked.

But Li Shimin shook his head and said: "Have you noticed that he is not only a staff organization, but even more perfect than the government?" ”

"Is there one?" Fang Xuanling also asked in surprise.

"Did you see, Jingwen, this kid, they have broken everything down. They perform their own duties, and they are much more sophisticated than the six departments of our imperial court. Moreover, their division of responsibilities is very precise, and there is not much across the crossing. He was able to break down a big thing into a small thing. In the end, as long as everyone does their own work, they can do a big thing well. This is like a precision carriage, he can make every part of the carriage work, and finally drive the carriage forward together! And in this each perform its own duties. Being able to divide things out on their own and turn a big thing into a myriad of small things, so that they can get a lot of people with less ability to do big things together. That's the greatest thing about these places, that he can bring a person's cleverness. It has become great wisdom, which is very rare. You should know that people like you probably haven't had for hundreds of years. And once Datang does not have top talents like you, then Datang will inevitably decline. But I saw the difference in these things from this kid Jingwen. He doesn't need the ability of the chief officer to be strong in these places, he just needs to be able to divide affairs correctly and coordinate correctly. The real people who do things are at the grassroots level, and as long as you maintain the system without collapsing, you can develop rapidly. So, from this point of view, he is a very good management method. And our current official system in Datang is too dependent on those high-level talents, and according to the division method of Jingwen, this kid can completely twist countless people into a rope to do big things. This is the rarest thing. Especially in the military, at present, our army is very dependent on a famous general, and a famous general often has to be proficient in strategy, terrain, intelligence, analysis and judgment, all of which need to be considered by the Lord in the future. But according to Jingwen's method, he can divide all the things of the lord into ordinary clerks, so that a large group of small officials can be combined into the ability of one main general. And the chief general only needs to be responsible for coordinating these small officials, and he can manage the entire army perfectly, and many people will be able to be a general in the future, instead of being proficient in strategy, terrain intelligence and all aspects of things in the past. ”

"Your Majesty, do you say that there is a master behind this kid Jingwen?" Fang Xuanling asked.

Li Shimin said helplessly: "This time it is a miscalculation, I didn't expect that there is a master behind this kid Jingwen, and he is also a great talent!" The person who can come up with such a management method is definitely a great talent. But who is the person behind that guy? ”

"Your Majesty, do you want to ask that kid Jingwen! This kind of talent, it is better to let the emperor take it for his own use! Fang Xuanling said.

"Okay, go and call that kid Jingwen, I'm going to ask him where he met this kind of talent." Li Shimin said.

It's a pity that Jingwen plagiarized the management system of later generations, and as a result, Li Shimin thought that he had a great talent to support. This has to be said to be Li Shimin's disapproval of Jingwen's ability, which caused Li Shimin not to believe that this was the method that Jingwen came up with himself. (To be continued......)
