Chapter 414: Those who are good at governing a country are good at planning; those who decide the outcome are good at planning!
Guo Zhai.
Guo Dan stood in the study room, looking at the wood chips in his hands, with a thoughtful look in his eyes. After pondering for a long time, he left the study room and went to the lobby. His wife, Mrs. Li, was in the lobby. Guo Dan said directly: "I
I remember that you have a nephew there who just graduated from school not long ago, am I remembering correctly?"
Li was stunned.
He opened his mouth and said:
"You mean Li Cheng?"
"He has indeed just graduated from school. Didn't he want you to find him a good job through your connections? But in the end, didn't you refuse in a 'selfless' way? Why do you mention him now?"
Guo Dan smiled and said:
"A great thing happened to him."
"If Huai'an hadn't been so young, this good thing would never have happened to him."
Mrs. Li frowned, but she was doubtful.
Doubtfully said:
"What good thing?"
"Don't try to trick my family again."
"I was tricked last time, and I didn't dare to go back for half a year."
Guo Dan smiled awkwardly.
He opened his mouth and said:
"It was an accident that time."
"It's definitely a good job this time."
"I told you before that the identity of the Tenth Young Master has been restored."
"Now the Tenth Young Master is in charge of the Secretary's Office. This is a newly established official office. It has actually been established for a year. However, since the official office was newly established, the Tenth Young Master was called by His Majesty to participate in the hunting tour. Therefore, the affairs of the official office and the officials have not been able to do anything.
It was finally decided that this time, the Tenth Young Master would take the initiative to write and ask me to recommend suitable officials."
"I want to recommend Li Cheng!"
Li frowned slightly, moved lightly, walked to Guo Dan, and whispered: "Didn't you say that the person standing behind the Tenth Young Master is the Guanzhong clan? There are many children in the Guanzhong clan, why do you need to recommend officials?
"
Guo Dan showed a look of contentment on his face.
Dandan said:
"It's because I have a close relationship with the Tenth Young Master."
"However, this is all outside the scope."
"I have said long ago that the Tenth Young Master has lofty ambitions that are beyond the reach of others."
"How can such an ambitious person allow himself to be constrained in the future? The Shangshu Department is the official office of the Tenth Young Master, and it can even be regarded as a small prince's palace. If the Tenth Young Master rises to power in the future, these people will have the merit of following the dragon.
They will all become the ministers of the Tenth Young Master, but if one family is the largest, is this what the Tenth Young Master wants?"
"Those who are good at governing a country are good at plotting trends; those who decide the outcome are good at planning."
"The Tenth Young Master is such a person."
"The Tenth Young Master does rely heavily on the Guanzhong clan, but after returning from Dongjun, the Tenth Young Master has never visited a Guanzhong clan. Even in the past, he has always deliberately kept a distance. If Li Chengruo falls into the eyes of the Tenth Young Master, although he will be affected by the Guanzhong clan in the early stage
Target, but over time, you will definitely be respected by the Tenth Young Master."
“It’s a trade-off!
"
"But you, a woman, don't understand."
"All you need to know is that if Li Cheng is selected for the Tenth Young Master, he will definitely prosper in the future. As long as he doesn't make any big mistakes and doesn't let others catch him, he will definitely rise to the top. If the Tenth Young Master takes over, he will rise to the top in one step."
"Isn't this a great thing?"
Mr. Li looked hesitant.
said:
"Things are indeed good."
"But I feel really uneasy."
"We are walking on thin ice in Xianyang. If we participate in the fight for the reserve, if something goes wrong, the end will be extremely miserable. When I committed myself to you, I had already made plans to be liquidated, but you are more powerful than your father.
We have to be more tactful and have never had any trouble. Now that Huai'an is still young, do we have to put all our efforts into it?"
Guo Dan looked at Mrs. Li, a soft color flashed in his eyes.
Then he nodded affirmatively.
He said in a deep voice:
"I understand your worries."
"I also want to protect myself wisely, but things are different now."
"In the past, I would think twice before making any decision. I would never dare to implicate other people, which would harm us at most. So in the past, I always reminded you to stay less with your parents' family. Even if I was worried that it would harm them, I would never do anything to you.
My mother-in-law’s family helped me, but the reason why I was uncharacteristic of myself this time was because I sensed something was wrong.”
"The major events in the world should neither be planned by everyone, nor should they be planned by outsiders!"
"The Tenth Young Master is His Majesty's son. Before his identity was announced, he could indeed be in charge of the Secretariat. However, now that the Tenth Young Master's status has been restored, he should not continue to be in charge due to emotion and reason. However, the actual situation is that the Tenth Young Master's identity as a Secretariat has not been revealed.
It has not been suspended, and it can even continue to recruit officials."
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguoyuedu to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. Yeguoyuedu is available for Android and Apple.]
"Isn't this a big deal?"
"In the country of Qin, since ancient times, only the prince can open a palace to recruit wise men."
"But the Tenth Young Master is not a prince, but he can recruit officials, but it breaks this convention. According to the news I heard during the day, the Tenth Young Master had contact with His Majesty in the morning, and then sent a letter in the afternoon. The Tenth Young Master
His Majesty must have known about this matter, and even tacitly approved of it."
"The implications are extraordinary."
"Your family used to have a certain amount of power in Zhao State, and you are barely aware of the affairs of the palace, but it is difficult for you to have a deep understanding of this matter."
"Your Majesty has given the Tenth Young Master great power."
"Your Majesty is the lord of the world. He is experienced in planning the country. How can he easily grant authority?"
"In my opinion, things may change in the court!"
"The current battle for crown prince is between the eldest son and the tenth son."
"The eldest son will leave for Beiyuan in the near future. The tenth son is already eye-catching in Xianyang. Now he is recruiting people with such great fanfare, it is difficult not to think that it is His Majesty's order."
"No matter what the situation is."
"It is a fact that the Tenth Young Master is trusted by Your Majesty."
"Now that the Tenth Young Master has given up his intention to recruit, if we don't seize the opportunity, when the Tenth Young Master becomes more mature in the future, it will be difficult for him to think highly of him."
"Now that we have chosen the Tenth Young Master, there is no turning back."
“Instead of adding icing on the cake, it’s better to provide help in times of need!”
"And as I said before, the Tenth Young Master is not familiar with the officials of the Six Kingdoms and One Line. Therefore, there are not many officials from the Six Kingdoms and One Line to join us at the moment. However, we can be one step ahead, one step faster, and every step faster.
, As long as Li Cheng doesn't make a big mistake, for the sake of balance, he will definitely be fine."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "This time, the Tenth Young Master is asking for something from us, that's why we treat him so favorably."
"But it will be the only time."
"I want Li Cheng to go and gamble once. If he wins, he will be prosperous in the future. If he loses, it can only be regarded as bad luck. Nothing can be done about it."
Li looked hesitant.
She was born in the Li family of Longxi, which was considered a prominent family.
Their ancestor was Li Tan, who was a royal censor of the Qin State, and then returned to Zhao and became a Marquis of Bairen. Therefore, their Li family's origins were all Bairen. After that, the Li family was divided into two, namely the Li family of Zhao County and the Li family of Longxi.
, their Longxi Li family is not as good as the Zhaojun Li family, especially the Zhaojun Li family has Li Mu.
The relationship between the two families has always been good.
After the unification of Qin, the two families became increasingly declining, and they could be regarded as joining forces to keep warm. However, the Li family was from Zhao after all, and because Li Mu had been enemies of the Qin army and even severely damaged the Qin army, he was targeted by some Guanzhong clans.
The situation is not good, and if he chooses to side with the Ten Young Masters, if something goes wrong, the entire Li family will suffer.
She had to think a little more.
Guo Dan did not rush.
He knew what Li was worried about.
However, if Heaven does not take it, you will suffer the consequences; if the time comes, if you do not welcome it, you will suffer the disaster.
a long time.
Li said:
"I can't make a decision."
"Only the head of the family can decide this matter."
Guo Dan nodded.
said:
"It doesn't matter."
"I'll fix the book later."
"If Li can seize this kind of opportunity, he can reverse his decline. If he misses it, he doesn't know when it will come again."
"A family like ours is always on thin ice, so we should really think twice about participating in something like this."
"I remember that there is a very talented person from the Li family in Zhao County. I think his name is Li Zuoche. When the time comes, I will also write it down and ask your family master to ask. If he agrees, I will recommend their names together.
If you don’t want to, I won’t force you.”
Guo Dan tinkered a few more times.
Mrs. Li didn't listen. She was not familiar with Mr. Li from Zhaojun.
The letter sent by Qin Luoheng received a strong response from the Guanzhong clan. Within a day, the Guanzhong clan sent the list of recommended disciples to the Secretary of State.
but.
Qin Luoheng was not in a hurry to review it.
He is still waiting.
He wanted to see if there were any recommendations from officials from the six regions and one department.
Moreover, he did not specify in the letter that these officials were going to defend the country.
He did it on purpose.
I just wanted to take this opportunity to examine these officials.
In the next few days, Qin Luoheng became very busy. After explaining to Zongzheng, he successfully arranged Da and An into the Secretary's Office. However, both of them were currently in the stage of "trying to become officials".
...
Return to the Central Palace.
Qin Luoheng sat at the table, thinking about the construction of the Secretariat of Secretaries in his mind. He originally wanted to directly use the six-part form, but it is obviously not suitable now.
The top priority now is to replenish manpower.
He actually knew very little about Weiguo, but since he made a sure deal with the First Emperor, he could only bite the bullet and do it. However, there was still a certain amount of time before spring plowing, and he still had enough time to plan.
and.
What the First Emperor cared about was officials.
But what he actually cares more about is people's livelihood.
He looked at the snowflakes falling outside the palace, picked up a rabbit-hair pen, and started writing on a bamboo slip. He wanted to write down his requirements for the farmers and the Mohist family.
It's getting late.
Only then did Qin Luoheng stop writing.
Looking at the densely packed small characters on the bamboo slips, Qin Luoheng nodded with satisfaction. The content here can be said to be a new blueprint that he finally constructed with all his efforts and brains, combined with the development of agriculture and handicraft industry in later generations.
It covers not only farming tools and grain seeds, but also tools related to handicrafts, mining, and textile industries.
However, he is not a professional after all, so he can only give a general idea. The farmer Mo Jia still needs to explore the details himself, but he has tried his best.
After checking it carefully and making sure there was nothing wrong, he put the bamboo slips away and went to sleep in the palace.
A few more days passed.
Qin Luoheng received no more recommendation bamboo slips.
It was only then that he began to sort out the people recommended, but he didn't know most of the people recommended by the major clans, and he really didn't dare to make a decision easily.
