Chapter 51: The Fourth Master Who Cherishes Talent
In the past, Yuzhu was the executive vice president at the department level of a large steel company, in charge of steel manufacturing and infrastructure.
Large steel companies are located on the rough seaside, and the safety of the dams is related to the life and death of the steel companies.
Due to his responsibilities, Yuzhu took charge of the reinforcement project of flood control dams.
Fourth elder brother Yinzhen came up with a river engineering problem. He obviously wanted to show off his power and wanted to kill Yuzhu's spirit.
Yuzhu didn't have much to say. He carefully considered the various measures to strengthen the dam at that time, and then wrote it down with a pen in hand.
Brother Si picked up Yuzhu's paper and browsed it casually at first, then frowned and read it carefully and over and over three times.
Yinxiang couldn't help but was slightly stunned, and immediately saw something fishy. Yinzhen had been working in the field for many years, and his experience had been extremely rich. Yuzhu was just a little baby in his infancy. Is his article worth reading three times?
Yuzhu stood with his hands down, but his heart was calm. The more carefully Yinzhen studied his strategy, the more beneficial it would be for him.
"There are three ways to strengthen the embankment, dredging, building dams, and diverting water... The traitorous officials and subordinates are so greedy and unscrupulous that they should be killed..." Yinzhen couldn't help but read aloud, and Yinxiang and others couldn't help but look at each other.
I was horrified.
This is a sight I have never seen before!
Yuzhu stood silently with his hands down, his face as calm as water, without any trace of pride.
Yinzhen disliked arrogant people very much. After Longkodo's death, he once said to Prince Heshuoyi Yunxiang, "I have endured it for a long time.
Yuzhu is inherently gentle and broad-minded, so there is no need to pretend, just act as you are.
The fourth elder brother, Yinzhen, is mean, unkind, ruthless, and as cunning as a poisonous snake. These are all correct.
However, the fourth elder brother is still a man of action and likes the capable Chollima. After he ascended the throne, the people he used in important positions include, of course, cruel officials like Tian Wenjing who are not worthy of the name, but also capable ministers such as Ertai, Zhang Tingyu, and Yue Zhongqi.
The three major reform measures of sharing the land, raising honest silver, and paying the rations to the gentry all helped the Qing Dynasty extend its life span for two hundred years.
After all, Yinzhen is a thoughtful person. After he realized his gaffe, he immediately put on a cold face and gently put down the paper in his hand.
"You have never been in charge of river management. How did you learn so many ways to control the river?" Yinzhen's sharp eyes stared coldly at Yuzhu's face.
Yuzhu was well prepared and said respectfully: "Back to Lord Beile, when the student was going south from the capital, he met a poor scholar who was down and out. Because the student was a small favor in the form of a meal, he told the student some ideas on how to manage the river.
My memory is pretty good. Although I can’t remember everything, I remember about 70% to 80%.”
Well, that makes sense. After all, Yuzhu is only fifteen years old, so how does he know how to manage rivers and embankments?
Yinzhen nodded without saying a word, but took the pen in his hand again and asked a question about the eight-legged essay, adding a question to try to post a poem.
"You don't have to finish the paper. As long as you solve the question within half an hour, I will recognize you as a real person." Yinzhen's overbearing attitude is beyond words.
Yuzhu knew full well that because he was too young, Yinzhen wanted to deliberately suppress him and teach him a big lesson.
However, despite all his calculations, Yinzhen never expected that Yuzhu would be a weirdo who graduated with a Ph.D.
In the past five years, in addition to studying the classics and history, Yuzhu has been writing and practicing calligraphy almost every day.
It is no exaggeration to say that the questions he has answered can stack up at least one person high.
Under the tactic of "sea of questions", Yuzhu left many examples that can be used for reference.
Yuzhu held the pen in his hand and pretended to be concentrating on thinking. In fact, he had already begun to think about the article he had written before according to the diagram.
Soon, Yuzhu thought of the model essay. Comparing the two, he just matched the situation and copied it directly.
Only by letting Yinzhen see his tyrannical strength can Yinzhen be induced to cherish his talents.
After Yuzhu made up his mind, he immediately started copying the model essay.
Just as it happened, his pavilion style had made a breakthrough. The iron hook and silver stroke were powerful enough to penetrate the back of the paper. Although it was far less than Wang Youjun, it was still quite capable.
In order to fully demonstrate his true ability, Yuzhu deliberately finished the work in one go without any sloppiness. By the time he stopped writing, Yinzhen had only drank two cups of tea.
"Is this finished?" Yinxiang stared at Yuzhu in surprise, with a look of disbelief on his face.
Yinzhen calmly took Yuzhu's paper, read it word for word, and then gently put it down without saying a word.
Yinxiang grabbed the paper and read it carefully three times from beginning to end.
"Bah." Yinxiang slammed the table and shouted, "Great article, truly beautiful article."
Yuzhu lowered his head and stood with his hands solemn, always looking unfazed by favors and humiliations, not complacent with Yinxiang's praise.
Yinzhen asked Yuzhu calmly with a straight face: "He Zichang, the admiral of Jiangnan's academic affairs, is now in Jurong?"
"Yes, before the student came to Jiangning to visit his eighth uncle, he had sent a letter to Jurong and got a reply." Yuzhu's attitude was extremely respectful, so respectful that Yinxiang was a little uncomfortable.
Yinzhen nodded and asked about Longkodo's current situation, and Yuzhu answered them in detail.
"Well, after returning to Beijing, you often come to my house and walk around. You are my cousin. You don't even know which way the cousin's house door opens. Isn't it a joke?" As soon as Yinzhen said these words, Yinzhen
Xiang then understood that his fourth brother had really cherished his talents.
Longkodo was originally a latent member of the Fourth Ye Party, and Yuzhu was Longkodo’s most beloved son, so he was naturally the reserve force of the Fourth Ye Party.
"Hey." Yuzhu agreed quickly, but in his heart he had no intention of getting too close to Si Age.
The key to Yinzhen's rise to the throne was none other than Yuzhu's biological father, Longkodo, and Yinxiang, who controlled the Fengtai camp.
Brothers fighting tigers, father and son go into battle.
Longkodo is Yuzhu's biological father. Both father and son will suffer losses and prosperity, and their fundamental interests are basically the same.
This is easy to discuss!
Grandma Sun celebrated her birthday, and the fourth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother came to Cao's house to congratulate him. They were just following Kangxi's secret instructions.
Before now, the fourth elder brother had no contact with the Cao family, so he had done enough to save face, that's all.
It was impossible for the fourth elder brother to stay and drink. Before leaving, he took a deep look at Yuzhu, but said nothing, and led the thirteenth elder brother and Dai Duo away in style.
Cao Fu was dumbfounded a long time ago. To him, both the fourth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother were gods in the sky. They looked beautiful, but they were too far apart.
After sending Brother Si and the others away, Yuzhu has been sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, waiting for Cao Yin to come to him to negotiate terms.
The Cao family was a mess. Cao Yin owed the court more than five million taels of silver, and he made a lot of money from the salt merchants in Lianghuai, but he still couldn't make up for the huge deficit.
The money of the Cao family is very hot, and Yuzhu dare not accept it.
Cao Fu hesitated for a long time, scratching his ears and cheeks. He couldn't bear it anymore, so he asked Yuzhu: "Brother, how did you guess that Xiren's previous name was Pearl?"
Yuzhu sighed secretly, the Cao family was getting worse day by day, but Cao Fu only cared about the gossip of the girls around him.
This is just like the big-faced baby in Dream of Red Mansions, a completely useless thing.
