"General, I wonder if you need a staff member?"

Hearing Cui Hao's inquiry, Shi Min couldn't help but hesitate for a moment, and said, "Is there anyone to recommend sir?" ”

A staff member, similar to a private advisor in later generations.

During the Han Dynasty, the commander led the army to go on an expedition, and had the right to recruit and select civilian subordinates on his own, and set up government offices to help deal with military and political affairs, which was called "Kaifu".

Because this type of government office is located in the shogunate, it is also called the "shogunate", and the subordinates of the commander to the left and right are also called "shogunate" and "shogunate".

There are many kinds of staff, and there is a "long history" equivalent to the work of the chief of staff and the commander-in-chief in modern times; There are senate military aircraft, which help to direct military operations in the "army"; There are "master books" and "record offices" similar to those of modern adjutant and secretaries, managing documents and various files, and so on.

By the time of the Three Kingdoms and the Jin Dynasty and the Northern and Southern Dynasties, wars were frequent, war zones were everywhere, and "military management" was implemented in all places, and the local governors were concurrently served by military attachés, and the subordinates of the generals around them changed from simple officers to auxiliary generals who "went on horses to manage the army, and dismounted to manage the people" in civil and military positions, and the proportion of civilian posts often exceeded that of military posts.

The relationship between an official and his or her staff is roughly the same as that between a boss and an employee.

When the boss spends money to hire a private person, I am an official, and you do things; And because you were hired by me for money, I am relieved that you do things, and you have become "my own family".

Staff members generally have specialized knowledge, perhaps even "up-to-date knowledge", they have a lot of information and knowledge in a particular field of expertise, they read the professional classics, they talk about the truth, they write with gusto, they give advice, they can do anything.

However, due to the particularity of his role, the ambiguity of his status determines that his advance and retreat will depend on whether he can please the courtier, so he will self-evidently consider his own situation and future when he speaks.

It is already difficult to speak out, and with the limitations of each person's knowledge, insight, thoughts, vision, etc., their suggestions and opinions have a lot of water.

However, as far as Shi Min knows, the staff of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties are actually similar to their subordinates, and the staff can call their "boss" "lord"!

Cui Hao then shook his head, pointed at himself again and said, "General, Xiao Lao'er wants to recommend himself." ”

"When I was a teacher in a private school in my early years, I liked to read some ancient classic books, subsets of classics and history, and hundreds of classics. If the general doesn't dislike it, Xiao Lao'er wants to be your staff and give you some advice at the right time. It's kind of a suggestion. ”

When he said this, Cui Hao unconsciously straightened his waist, obviously quite confident.

In fact, at Cui Hao's age, coupled with his experience and background, he can read a wide range of books, and Shi Min has no doubt about it. But what Shi Min is afraid of is that Cui Hao is a nerd, he doesn't know how to be flexible and flexible!

You must know that it is shallow on paper, and you must never know that you have to do it.

If it is placed in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, hundreds of schools of thought contend, all of them are leaders, there are as many talents as dogs, and talents are everywhere, Shi Min will not care about anything.

But now it is a chaotic era, which can be called the darkest era in China! The vast majority of those scholars went to the Jin Kingdom in the south, and very few remained in the north.

No, it shouldn't be said that there are very few. Rather, it is said that these scholars are talented, or they are born with arrogance, so that they are unwilling to bow their heads to Hu Lu and become officials in the court of the Hu people!

What's more, the most worrying thing about Shi Min is that this era has the greatest change for the entire Huaxia.

On the one hand, it is the great integration of nationalities, and on the other hand, the Han people have changed the traditional Confucianism, blended Buddhism, and integrated Buddhism and Taoism!

This doesn't sound bad, but Shi Min knows that since the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the backbone and blood of the Han people have been much worse than before!

Just look at the dignitaries and nobles in the south who smoke five stone san all day long, and you can see that this country is not saved! This nation...... There is also salvation.

Hearing this, Shi Min couldn't help but say with a light in his eyes: "Sir, please take a seat." ”

Shi Min then invited Cui Hao to sit down on the mat next to the low table on the side and sat cross-legged.

This is the most prevalent of the Han people, sitting and discussing.

"Sir, I don't know what you think of the current situation in the world? Is there a possibility of great unification like the Qin, Han, and Jin? ”

As soon as he heard this, Cui Hao knew that Shi Min intended to teach himself, but he was not afraid at all, and said: "The general trend of the world, it will be together for a long time, and it will be divided for a long time." This is the trend of the times and is irreversible. ”

Shi Min said: "But since the Yongjia Rebellion, we have been in war in China for more than 27 years. Now the Jin Chamber is weak and safe, although the Northern Expedition has been repeated but has not been effective! Now there are many countries, including my Zhao country, Liang country, Yan country, Cheng country, Qiu Chi country, Dai country, and there are Xianbei people and Tuyuhun outside the Sai, peeking at the Central Plains, this great unification, I don't know who can do it in Mr.'s opinion? ”

Hearing this, Cui Hao couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "General, I, Cui Hao, am an ordinary man, not a god." Even if Zhuge Kongming is alive, I'm afraid I can't see who can complete this great unification cause! ”

"I took the liberty of it." Shi Min said in a sneering manner.

"However, in Xiao Lao'er's opinion, when it comes to today, the ones who can destroy all the countries and rule the world and unify the sea are your Zhao Kingdom and the Jin Kingdom in the south."

"I want to hear about it."

Cui Hao said: "For the strength of your Zhao State, the general should know a little bit about it, and the little old man won't say much." The Jin Kingdom in the south is actually more powerful, more famous, and more profound than Qian Zhao, sweeping away the countries and once again unifying the world. However, in the Jin Kingdom, the monarchs and ministers were suspicious of each other, the gate valves were numerous, the party was not stopped, and the internal friction continued, and it was difficult to twist their own national strength into a rope and unite with the outside world. ”

When Shi Min heard this, he deeply agreed, and asked, "What about our Zhao Kingdom?" What are Zhao's flaws? ”

"Hehe, this general should have known about it a long time ago, right? The flaws of Karma Zhao are obvious. ”

Regarding Shi Min's pretending to be confused, Cui Hao didn't have much of a cold, and continued: "There are no more than three reasons. First, the general commander of the army divided one side, listened to the tune and did not listen to the announcement, and supported the army with self-respect. People like Pu Hong, Yao Yizhong, and Liu Xian are warlords, and he will turn into a dragon and establish a country on his own as soon as he encounters a storm! Perhaps, after the death of King Zhao Tianwang, no one can suppress them, and they will stand on their own one after another, each claiming to be the king and the emperor. ”

Hearing this, Shi Min couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

What a talent!

As the saying goes, the authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear.

The people of this era naturally belong to the authorities, and Shi Min, a reborn guy, is familiar with this period of history, so he belongs to the bystanders. But I didn't expect Cui Hao to be a simple person, with a unique vision, and he could almost foresee the general trend of the future of the Zhao Kingdom!

"Second, although your Zhao State has a vast territory and a large population, there are people of different nationalities such as the Qian, Han, Xiongnu, Di, and Xianbei people. As the old saying goes, if you are not of my race, your heart will be different! People of different nationalities will definitely have different hearts! Especially when the current Zhao State is dominated by the Qiang people, the Qiang people are the countrymen, and the rest are all inferior people, especially if the Zhao State is dominated by the Qiang people. ”

Cui Hao said eloquently: "As we all know, the number of people in the precarious population is thin, how can a population of only hundreds of thousands suppress millions of alien races? Therefore, the Great Zhao Heavenly King has to appoint capable people of all ethnic groups as officials and generals, and according to the current national policy of Zhao State, there will be chaos in the long run! ”

"What about the third?"

"The third is the harsh government of the Great Zhao Heavenly King. Harsh government is fiercer than a tiger! Although there is now a strong army to suppress it, the Li Shu in various places have been dissatisfied for a long time, which can be seen from the continuous uprisings of the common people everywhere. Sooner or later, this will lay the root of the country's demise for Zhao State. ”

Hearing this, Shi Min bowed slightly.

He has not only heard of Shi Hu's harsh government, but also witnessed it with his own eyes.

Shi Hu is arrogant and lascivious, brutal and easy to kill, which is more excessive than Ji Xuan

Soon after the usurpation of the throne, he built the Taiwu Palace on a large scale in the national capital Xiangguo, and built the east and west palaces in Yecheng, and at the end of the second year of Xiankang (336), it was all completed.

The scale of the Taiwu Hall is magnificent, the base is two feet high and eight feet high, and the surrounding area is all gorgeous stones with carved patterns. In order to protect his own safety, Shi Hu also built a dark room under His Royal Highness, and attached more than 500 guards to it in case of accidents.

After the completion of the main hall, it is 75 steps long from east to west and 65 steps wide from north to south. The whole hall is decorated with lacquer roof tiles, decorated with gold, decorated with silver pillars, placed white jade beds in the palace again, hung tassel tents, made golden lotus flowers to cover the top of the tent, it can really be described as bead curtain jade wall, ingenious workmanship.

Create a golden house to store beautiful girls. At the same time as the large-scale construction of the palace, in order to satisfy the beast's desire, Shi Hu ordered the prefectures and counties to guard and recruit beautiful women between the ages of 13 and 20 from the people to enter the palace, with more than 30,000 people.

In order to please the tyrant, the magistrates actually regarded the search for draft girls as the number one political task, in order to ensure both quality and quality, and even did not hesitate to rob the number of high-value wives, the number of which was as high as 9,000.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the tyrant Shi Hu to recruit draft girls among the people, the local tyrants took the opportunity to bully the people, but if they found that the wives and daughters of the people were beautiful, they would definitely threaten them to either hand over or pay money to avoid disasters, and as a result, many people committed suicide.

At this time, Shi Xuan, the son of Shi Hu, and other clans were also privately recruiting draft girls, and the total number was nearly 10,000. In this way, Shihu Group has taken a total of 40,000 beauties from the people!

Regarding the number of beauties in Shihu's harem, in the recital of the general Pu Hong (the grandfather of the former Qin Emperor Fu Jian, Pu Hong later changed his surname to Fu), it is an even more shocking number: 100,000!

This number, although exaggerated, but even if the "water" is squeezed out, it will be at least around 50,000, in any case, it is a magical record that is difficult to surpass in the imperial class!

At that time, Pu Hong's recital was probably: (Shi Hu) was coiled in Youtian, delayed in female virtue, and the death of three generations must be from this. And suddenly, for the hunting car thousands of rides, raising beasts for thousands of miles, snatching wives and daughters, 100,000 surplus palaces.
