readx; Zhu Yuanzhang has always been a hero in Zuo Qian's heart, and he is also developing in that direction, he has been in charge of Heishui North since he was Cangshun Bo, all of them have followed Zhu Yuanzhang's path, and he has changed his taste as he walks, after all, he is not Zhu Yuanzhang, he is Zuo Qian.

He remembered that when he read the secret history of Taizu at that time, he remembered that there was such a passage in it: "Those who are good at using people are below" Those who are good at using people must be humble and subordinate to others. Confucianism is not Confucianism, and talents generally have extreme self-esteem, and if their self-esteem is not satisfied, it is difficult to serve you wholeheartedly. Just like the famous man of the Three Kingdoms, Kong Ming said: Scholars die for their confidants, as long as you really respect talents, you will inevitably get their loyal followers.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was in Jiangnan at the time, was named King Wu by Han Lin'er, the king of Xiaoming, and at that time he said to his eldest son Zhu Biao: "Zisi Yingxian is like hunger and thirst." This sentence is by no means his self-promotion, but a true portrayal of his recruitment and reuse of talents. It's just that after the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Chongba's things were a little unkind, all of which were thorny.

Later, Zhu Yuanzhang recruited more and more talents, and he always knew how to make good use of people, so his strength became stronger and stronger, and finally with the wisdom of everyone, he broke other regimes, drove the Yuan army out of the north of the desert, and established the Ming Dynasty.

Thinking of Zhu Yuanzhang's various pasts, Zuo Qian's heart at this time was full of enlightenment, as the so-called 'all degrees of power and ability, so the expedition is far and near'. Judge men, measure talents, and let the wise men near and far be of use to me. Lao Tzu also said: "Good is like water". He believes that the greatest strength of water is 'good at it', and good at it will be a good man. When it comes to managers, it's 'those who make good use of people'. Those who are good at employing people must be humble and subordinate to others. And the corporal of the world is like a hundred rivers gathering, and the world is in control.

After figuring out the joints, Zuo Qian didn't have a fear of the Holy Hall, originally he was from the Ming Dynasty, and for this heaven and earth, he was an outlier, saying, isn't there a tall one on top of the sky when it falls!

Zuo Qian, who was standing in front of the window, turned his head and looked at Chen Mianmian, who was there, drinking tea by himself, although he was still with a dead face, but Zuo Qian at this time had an indescribable sense of intimacy, and seeing Chen Mianmian's cold face, Zuo Qian's heart was warm.

Chen Mianmian seemed to have sensed something, and also looked at Zuo Qian's gaze, and then turned his head and said slowly: "What did you think of by the window?"

Zuo Qian said with a smile: "I just thought of a monarch, when he was able to sit from a monk in cloth clothes to the position of the founding emperor, and my starting point is thousands of times higher than him, am I still afraid of anything?"

Zuo Qian looked at Chen Mianmian and said, "Drink less of this tea in the future, it's very expensive", after saying this, Zuo Qian walked outside the house, leaving Chen Mianmian alone there messy.

"Is this tea expensive? I don't know if I sell it myself?" After speaking, Chen Mianmian changed the tea again.

After leaving the room, Zuo Qian went straight to Sima Kong's bedroom and copywriting room, Zuo Qian knew that if he relied on force alone, he would be a better emperor than a bandit at best, and he would not even be counted as a prince, so what could he do in the future? Therefore, he came to Sima Kong, not for anything else, but to learn something from Sima Kong. Zuo Qian knows where his shortcomings are, so he wants to change himself, because any emperor who has achieved success will always immediately settle the world and stabilize the country with a pen.

As soon as he walked into Sima Kong's room, he heard Sima Kong training there, and Zuo Qian didn't bother him, just listened quietly outside.

"Zhang Ling, look at it, what do you mean that the number of acres of land is almost seventeen acres?"

"Zongzheng, you are more stupid than him Zhang Ling, you can give as much as people shout? Don't you know how to bargain? The silver in the upper position is wasted by your group of straw bales."

"Are you all worthy of the cultivation of the superiors?"

"How do you want me to explain to the higher position? Do you tell him that all the waste he has worked so hard to cultivate? If you are not doing well, you can find the superior yourself."

The people in Sima's empty room couldn't raise their heads by him, not because they were afraid of Sima Kong, but because they felt sorry for the incomparably sacred superior Zuo Qian in their hearts, hearing this, Zuo Qian knew that it was time to go in by himself, and it was necessary to beat properly, if the beating was too much, it would not be good, after all, they were still young, and they were cultivated by themselves.

"Master Sima, why are you so angry today? This doesn't seem to be your style!" Zuo Qian said with a grin.

Hearing Zuo Qian's very abrupt voice, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they all saluted: "I've seen the superior", Zuo Qian didn't want them to bow down and bow, it was too troublesome to kneel around, so they just bowed.

As soon as Sima Kong wanted to speak, he saw a young man with a resolute face and a medium figure, wearing a white-washed dress, and preemptively said: "Superior, it's all because we are too stupid to do even some small things." Zuo Qian knew the man who spoke, and his name was Zongzheng.

"That's the case! It's okay, just follow Master Sima in the future, just study hard, go down first, I have something to discuss with Lord Sima", Zuo Qian said with a smile on his face.

Looking at Zuo Qian's smile on his face, listening to his words without reproach, Zongzheng and his people were full of red and guilt, they were stupid like this, and they didn't get angry at the top, if they didn't do anything well, then they had to find a crack to get into.

"Yes," a neat voice sounded, and then he exited the room in an orderly manner.

When everyone exited the room, Sima Kong's face that was about to eat people just now instantly changed back, and said with a smile: "Superior, why did you come to me again today? The training ground has nothing to do?", in fact, in private, Sima Kong and Zuo Qian have always been neither big nor small, but Zuo Qian doesn't care about this.

Zuo Qian said: "I won't go around in circles with you, I'll just say it straight."

Looking at Zuo Qian, Sima Kong didn't see anything, so he said, "What's the matter?"

"I want to learn something from you," Zuo Qian twisted slightly.

"If you want to learn from those literati, even if you are not proficient, but I must understand" Zuo Qian said very earnestly, not the same as just now.

After hearing Zuo Qian's words, Sima Kong looked at Zuo Qian like a monster, touched Mo Zuoqian's forehead with his hand, and said, "Are you sure that you didn't practice to confuse you?"

"Don't you usually hate these things the most?"

Zuo Qian smiled and said, "This person has to live to learn all the time, if he only knows how to practice every day, what is the difference between him and those martial artists?"

Sima Kong looked suddenly enlightened, and said very seriously: "It seems that you understand?" Sima Kong's words were very vague, so that outsiders could listen to them, just like listening to the monk's Zen language, like some kind of "donor, you have understood" general bullshit.

Zuo Qian nodded, didn't speak, just looked at Sima Kong directly.

Sima Kong was furious by Zuo Qian's heart, and said: "Don't look at me so directly, I can't pick up a mouthful of soap."

'Bang' only heard a crisp sound, Zuo Qianyi slapped Sima Kong's head and said, "What do you want?"

Sima Kong, who was slapped in the face, was not angry, and still said with a smile: "This is you, it seems that you are not sick."

Seeing that Zuo Qian's face darkened, Sima Kong hurriedly changed the topic, after all, he was not a masochist, and said, "Then let's start with the basics."

Hearing that Sima Kong's transformation was so fast, Zuo Qian also quickly entered the state and listened carefully.

When he only listened to Sima Kong's words, it seemed like a different person, and he said slowly: "There are only four kinds of things that literati and scholars love, piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, and of course, there are also crazy people like Li Taibai, who love to drink and compose poetry, and fight the world with a sword, and there are also middle and two like Mr. Dongpo, who love braised pork."

"Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, can be said to be a string of bright pearls, pleasing to the ear, self-cultivation, the ancient sages and sages to participate in philosophy and understanding, governing the country, but also to get benefits. ”

"The heartstrings of the piano - the piano, the smile is proud of the rivers and lakes. Sing freely, the landscape is a bosom friend. The moonlight is like water, the soft light is shining, and the piano is sitting, accompanied by green mountains and green waters. The Zen heart is quiet, the heart is like a quiet lotus, the skillful fingers are flicked, and the tranquil and melodious music is drawn into the eardrum, revealing magnetism. The sound of the piano, like flowing water, overflows a bay of indifference, a trace of tranquility, and makes people feel humble. ”

"Chess fans are rotten - chess, black and white are chaotic. Idle flower pendant, don't hesitate to fall. The chess game in the jade card, the layout of the palace chess does not follow the scriptures, the black and white are clearly stopped, and the jade sand is picked up in the sky and Hanxiao, and the weaver girl is two or three stars. Holding a chess piece in his right hand, his head slightly tilted, his brows slightly furrowed, and his slightly squinted eyes flashed with essence, as if to tell the flying butterfly that in a few moments, he would be able to unsheath it like a sword. ”

"The book is full of inkstone - book, splashing ink and sprinkling Lizhu. The mood is out, and the eternal elegance is Hongru. The book is affectionate like an old man, and every blind date is sad and happy in the morning and dusk. There are 3,000 words straight down in front of him, and there is no dust on his chest. Holding the scroll in his left hand and a fan in his right hand, he meditates and reads quietly, without distractions, leading people to feel the pride and romance of the poems in the scroll. ”

"In the painting, the painting is large. Under the wonderful pen, the soul is more beautiful. Painting work Jiang Mei, powder juniper Liang boasted. I am dizzy, and I only count flowers on one branch. The brushstrokes on the tip of the right finger seem to be slowly blooming, solidifying one's vision, and the painter's thoughts are surging in the psychedelic melancholy, and the scene that wanders in the heart seems to be able to turn into a legend on the paper in an instant. ”

Sima Kong's bunch of words, Zuo Qian was dizzy when he heard it, what he didn't expect was that the simple four things contained so much knowledge in them, which could be regarded as an increase in knowledge.
