"If you can't do something, then just do nothing." Baili Road.
"What does it mean to govern by doing nothing?" Qian Yunfei frowned, "Being a county magistrate is to do all kinds of trivial things, deal with all kinds of conflicts, and solve all kinds of problems. How can you do nothing? This is the Tao Te Ching.
Those empty words are not our Confucian way of governing the country!"
Qian Yunfei had been a scholar before, but he had been in the world for so long that he was no longer worthy of being mentioned. Now that he has returned to the scholarly world, he considers himself a disciple of a saint again.
This is called this moment and that moment, and you can say whatever you are doing in whatever way you are doing.
"If you can't govern by doing nothing, then you have to do something." But Baili turned the words upside down.
"You have to do something else." Ye Baiqing suddenly said.
"They are all using human methods." Xiao Chen added.
"Yeah." Baili nodded.
Everyone knows how to employ people, but these four words are worth gold!
To put it simply, don't do anything you don't understand, or ask someone who understands to do it.
It's like Xiao Chen understands all kinds of mechanical principles and all kinds of knowledge about the future world, so he dares to open various factories because he knows it well.
But he never interferes in political or military affairs. He listens to Mr. Chen on political affairs, and Zhuge Xiaosheng and Dugulou make all military decisions because he doesn't understand.
You can't pretend to understand if you don't understand. If he wants to intervene in political affairs and manage the military, the result will naturally be a mess.
This is called doing nothing.
"Boss, Eunuch Zhao, Baili, if we continue talking like this, there will be no end. I think you should rest early. You are exhausted from the long journey. I will formally greet you tomorrow." Fu Yan looked at him.
Seeing that it is getting late, I advise a few people to take a rest early.
When Xiao Chen returned to his room and was about to take off his clothes and lie down, Zhao Gongming wandered in again and asked nonsense with a smile, "Isn't Master still asleep?"
"Aren't you tired?" Xiao Chen stretched out, yawned, and just said goodbye.
"I'm a little tired, but I'm getting older and don't sleep much." Zhao Gongming sat down without even blinking. Seeing Xiao Chen glaring at him, he grinned again, "Master, you can lie down when you should, and sleep when you should.
Go to bed, when you were little, my old slave would serve you like this more than once."
"Can you sit down so that I can lie down?" Xiao Chen really wanted to lie down, but he still sat down. Although Zhao Gongming spoke like an old slave, Xiao Chen never regarded him as a slave, let alone
He was dissolute and arrogant in front of him.
If it were Shangguan Qiji, he would have lied down and snored to pretend to be asleep.
"Sir, this old slave is useless." Zhao Gongming sighed leisurely and suddenly became senile.
"How do you say this?" Xiao Chen was startled and immediately became energetic.
"Master, you have full wings now. This old slave is not an irony, but the truth. From the moment he set foot on Shunfeng City, my heart has been greatly shocked. This is a city that has just experienced
This war-torn city has become so prosperous in less than half a year that it is even comparable to Fengyang. Ye Baiqing and Fu Wanchun are really indispensable!"
What Zhao Gongming wants to say is that there are many heroes under Xiao Chen's command now.
The literary ones include Chen Jisheng, Ye Baiqing, Liu Congshu, and Wen Chengxu; the martial arts include Zhuge Xiaosheng, Li Tanhua, Dugulou, Lin Yue, Wei Yuntian, and Yue Zhonglin; beside them are Xiao Ye, Duan Linger, Shangguan Qiji, Baili Qingyun, Tie Kunlun,
Lu Fei; not to mention talented people like Liu Mofeng, Fu Wanchun, Qian Yunfei, Liu Xiangqin, and Xu Wenzhou.
Xiao Chen not only formed an alliance with the northern Xinjiang tribes, but also established a good relationship with Japan, including trade, military cooperation, and cultural exchanges.
In southern Xinjiang, he had a good relationship with the king of Burma because he even saved the life of the king of Burma. What kind of friendship is this? He also contacted Murong Heng and relieved all the pressure on the western part of Yanyun. Now Xiao Chen can basically have no worries.
Worried, he concentrated on dealing with Li Wanjiang!
According to Xiao Chen, he had already begun to show goodwill to the Russians and wanted to establish a more harmonious relationship with them. This extremely far-sighted strategy surprised and admired Zhao Gongming.
So the question is, what can I, Zhao Gongming, do when I come back?
I am not as good as Chen Jisheng in government affairs, I am not as good as Fu Wanchun in local governance, I am not as good as Ye Baiqing in diplomacy, I am basically not good at leading troops, and naturally I am not as good as Zhuge Xiaosheng Dugulou.
He does know some business skills, but he can barely do a small business, but he is far inferior to the boss Liu Xiangqin. How many factories has the boss opened? And Liu Xiangqin has opened a bank!
His martial arts skills are not bad, but the prince's martial arts skills are very high, and he already has Shangguan Qiji, Baili Qingyun, Tie Kunlun, and the invincible little bully Xiao Ye, and now he has Ouyang Yunyi and other brothers, so it seems that there is no way to do it at all.
No need to protect yourself.
The most important thing is that the Crown Prince has not yet ascended the throne. There is only a Governor's Mansion and no palace. There is no need for him, a eunuch, to manage any internal affairs... Besides, the Governor's Mansion already has a young and capable butler, Xu Wenzhou.
So he suddenly felt so useless.
If he follows the crown prince back to Changshan Prefecture, the crown prince will definitely entrust him with important tasks, and I am afraid that his position will not be lower than that of Chen Jisheng!
But I am still self-aware, old slave. How can I compare with Chen Jisheng? My virtue is not worthy of me!
The main reason is that I am a eunuch. If I hold such a high position, I am afraid that others will be dissatisfied and gossip. In this case, the Crown Prince will inevitably be embarrassed.
My old slave doesn’t want to cause any trouble for you, Crown Prince!
"You, Mr. Zhao, are such an open-minded person, why are you so narrow-minded?" Xiao Chen disagreed, "But if you have these concerns, I respect your opinion. How about I just let you be an inspector? It's quite good.
As the censor of Zuodu, he can supervise all the officials of Yanyun County, from Mr. Chen to the magistrate."
"Of course, that includes me, Zhuge Xiaosheng, Dugulou and the others. In short, you can control everyone and check everyone... If you are too lazy to move, just sit in Changshan. If you want to take a stroll, just go down and walk around. Everything is up to you.
I hope we can discuss it after you are familiar with the situation."
"Master, this is absolutely impossible. Isn't it a big joke that you let a eunuch supervise hundreds of officials and also serve as a military supervisor? Besides, I don't understand government affairs or military affairs. It's like what you just said is not
If you understand, you can't pretend to understand. If that's the case, then you're not doing anything. If you're not doing anything, why bother?" Zhao Gongming said.
"You old boss Zhao, what can I say about you?" Xiao Chen sighed, "You are not greedy for money, nor do you seek power. You don't even know how to enjoy yourself. You will be busy and toiling all your life.
Ah, I look at you!”
"Sir, your words have won my heart." Zhao Gongming smiled and said, "Old slave, I am really such a person."
"Actually, there is something I really want you, Mr. Zhao, to help me with. This is something that only you can do, and no one else can do it except you... But this matter is not urgent. You go first
It’s not too late for us to take a break for a year and a half,” Xiao Chen said.
