Chapter 289 Why Do You Need To Avoid Relatives (1/2)
Chapter 289 Why do you need to avoid relatives to promote talents (1/2)
Although Mr. Cao used a discussion tone, it could be felt that he had already made a decision.
What Li Ru said after surrendering came to mind again: If Cao Gong makes a request, you must not hesitate until you agree.
At first glance, this may not seem like a clever idea.
But in fact, the strategies offered by strategists and planners are often based on a few words that try to figure out human nature and go straight to the core.
Like Guo Jia's theory of ten victories and ten defeats, it belongs to the overall plan and cannot be discussed casually. For example, later generations said that Jia Xu killed the Han Dynasty with one sentence. In fact, if you think about it carefully, there is nothing profound. If it were replaced by later generations, it would be straightforward.
His remarks were nothing more than: We are all going to die anyway, we can win if we fight, and it doesn’t matter if we lose. So Li Jue and Guo Si gathered their troops and besieged Chang’an, saving the defeat.
The real strategy is to speak the right words at the right time, at the right place...
But how easy is it to really do this?
Therefore, it is said that one word can prosper a country, and one word can destroy a country.
The same words will produce different effects at different times and on different occasions.
Li Ru's reminder was actually based on Cao ***'s personality. He was no stranger to Cao *** and had even studied it carefully.
At least when the 22 princes attacked Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao was almost killed by Li Ru.
Send people to suppress the formation, and then ambush...
This is a strategy anyone can come up with.
But just such a strategy caused Cao Hong's army to be almost wiped out. If Cao Hong hadn't fought tooth and nail to cover him, he might even have died on the battlefield.
Cao Peng said: "If my father transfers my brother back, my nephew will think that Bu Zhao can succeed him."
"Bu Zhao?"
Mr. Cao breathed a sigh of relief. Since Cao Peng named the replacement, it showed that he was open-minded.
But, which step is this?
"Bu Zhao, whose courtesy name is Zishan, is from the Bu clan in Huaiyin.
In the second year of Jian'an, after my nephew and his brother arrived in Haixi, Governor Chen Deng recommended three people. One was named Wei Jing. He was rebellious and unwilling to help my brother, so I scolded him away. He later went to Jiangdong and his whereabouts are unknown.
; One is Dai Gan, who was the hero who burned Hailing with Wang Xu and burned his ancestors to death. This man has a strong character and is loyal, but unfortunately...the third one is Bu Zhao Bu Zi Shan.
He is now the chief of Yandu, and he also participated in the battle of Guangling this spring.
Bu Zhao has been following me for the longest time, and he is cautious and quite talented. If my father asked me who could replace him, I would first choose Bu Zishan."
Cao Peng originally just asked and did not expect Cao Peng to actually assassinate anyone.
Who knew...
Mr. Cao smiled and said, "Afu, there are so many famous people in Xudu City, and there are countless talented people. Why do you value this step so much?"
Can I tell you that Bu Zhi once became the prime minister of Soochow in history?
Cao Peng also laughed, "There are as many famous people as clouds in Xudu City, as many as crucian carp crossing the river. But there is a problem, I don't know them..."
"ah?"
"Besides, Bu Zishan's cousin is my maid, and I know Bu Zhi far better than others."
Mr. Cao's face darkened, "Ah Fu, don't you know that you should promote the wise and avoid relatives?"
"Since we are promoting talents, why should we avoid relatives? Bu Zhi is obviously the most suitable candidate, why should I avoid suspicion?"
If someone else had said such words, ***Cao would probably be very unhappy. But when Cao Peng said such words, ***Cao felt very happy. This further shows that there is nothing special about Cao Peng.
The idea is to share the worries of doing things for myself...
"Then tell me, why Bu Zhao is the most suitable person?"
"First, Bu Zhao is from Guangling and has been to Haixi since the second year of Jian'an. He is very familiar with Haixi."
"Well, that makes sense."
"Secondly, my brother benefited from two people after he established himself in Haixi.
One is Jin Yi Lu Chang Pu Yang Kai, and the other is Bu Zhao. Regardless of whether it was to pacify Haixi, rectify the commercial market, or promote farming, Bu Zhao participated in the initial planning. If anyone knows the situation in Haixi the best, except for my brother
Besides them, there were Bu Zhi and Pu Yangkai.
Mr. Puyang has learned a lot, but he is a bit rigid and not very adaptable.
In fact, I have always felt that Mr. Puyang is not suitable as a local official. The most suitable position for him should be to be a doctor of the Five Classics in Taixue, teaching and educating people... Hehe, don't blame me, Father, I have it too
It comes out of emotion and has no other meaning."
As early as when Cao Peng left Xuzhou, he knew that Puyang Kai was not in good health.
Haixi is remote. Although it has become a prosperous place in Huaihe and Huaihe, the environment is still a bit bad. In his letters to Cao Peng, Deng Ji once mentioned that he hoped to find a position for Puyang Kai in Xudu so that he could enjoy it comfortably.
In his later years. After all, Puyang Kai is getting older.
Mr. Cao smiled and said: "Don't show off your little thoughts, just keep talking."
"But Bu Zhao is different. Although he comes from a prominent family, he has been poor since he was a child. He was raised by his aunt, so he is familiar with the sufferings of the people. He knows how to adapt and is more knowledgeable in military affairs. In this regard, he is better than his brother... Moreover, he
He has a delicate mind and an understanding of the overall situation, which is enough to take charge of a party. My father is right, there are many people in Xudu, but my nephew thinks that the only person suitable for the Haixi Tuntian Commandery is Buzishan.
Another point is that Bu Zishan succeeded his brother, but the government orders were consistent.
Father, as evidence, I am most afraid of changes in decrees. If Haixi can continue to develop, the decrees must be continued. To be honest, I am very worried that if a stranger is replaced, the decrees will be changed. I am eager to establish my own prestige and build my own achievements.
To completely negate the efforts of the predecessors would mean that years of hard work have been wasted; from the perspective of the people below, it would make the people confused and at a loss."
Cao Peng felt this.
It is not uncommon for people to change their work experience in previous lives.
The previous administration renovated the streets, but when the next administration came, he felt that this was not his political achievement, so he stopped midway and chose other projects.
As a result, urban construction was in chaos.
When I first entered a thoroughfare, I felt very good. But halfway through, I found that the street had become bumpy and bumpy, and it looked completely different.
This is probably also a very characteristic officialdom phenomenon in later generations.
In Cao Peng's words, when you first enter the glory, you will be ruined...
In times of peace, you can be so chaotic, but in times of war, you cannot be like this. National policies such as farming require more consistency.
Mr. Cao nodded repeatedly and showed a satisfied smile.
"anything else?"
"Also, I know Buzishan, but I don't know many capable people."
Mr. Cao couldn't help laughing, "You kid, you are a guy who refuses to give in."
Cao Peng scratched his head and showed an honest smile.
————————————————————————
"Fengxiao, what do you think?"
After Cao Peng left, Mr. Cao turned his head and whispered to the outside of the pavilion.
From behind the rockery outside the pavilion, a person walked out, it was Guo Jia. Wearing a thick fur coat, he walked into the pavilion, smiled and sat down.
"Since my lord has already made a decision, why do you need to ask me?"
"It's just that I don't understand why Wen He wanted to rape Deng Ji? They don't seem to know each other very well."
Guo Jia said with a smile: "Jia Wenhe is really capable. He can see through the lord's intention with just one glance. In my opinion, the reason why he killed his uncle and grandson was just to get revenge on Ah Fu. If Ah Fu hadn't said a word, he would have
Maybe he will continue to hide and keep a low profile...
Now, Ah Fu has forced him to step out. If he doesn't take revenge, how can he be at peace?
Haixi is controlled by Shusun, which is nothing. But after a long time, it is not good after all. If I change someone else, it won't be a big deal. I don't know Bu Zishan well. If the lord hesitates,
Why don't you send someone to Luoyang to inquire about Chang Wen?"
After saying that, Guo Jia suddenly laughed!
"why are you laughing?"
"I'm thinking, if Afu knew that Jia Wenhe was responsible for this, how would he react?"
Cao *** thought for a while and smiled...
"That kid is not a master who suffers easily."
He and Guo Jia looked at each other, with a hint of excitement in their eyes.
It was almost noon when Cao Peng left Sikong Mansion. It had been cloudy for several days, but suddenly the sun shone brightly, which was a rare good weather.
There are more pedestrians on the street, and they all look very busy.
The New Year is approaching, and the New Year is coming. It’s time to buy New Year’s goods, and it’s time to visit relatives and friends, making Xu Du suddenly become very lively. Although Yuan Shao’s message spread all over the world, but for Xu Du
For the common people, the proclamation did not cause much trouble. Although Xudu's harvest this year is not as good as last year, it is not bad. Looking at various places, Cao Cao's rule is considered the best. Yuan Shaoyuan is in Hebei,
What does it have to do with us? Even if he has enough troops and food, how can he win over us...
It can be seen that Cao Cao's governance over the years has won the support of the people.
After Cao Peng left Sikong Mansion, he returned home alone.
First, he said hello to his mother, Mrs. Zhang, and then took Huang Yueying to talk for a while, and then ran two laps in the yard with his nephew Deng Ai.
Deng Ai is almost three years old.
He was babbling, and he called out ‘uncle’.
Cao Peng became more and more curious about what Deng Ai would be like in the future.
Is he actually the famous Deng Shizai in history?
Looking at the fat little Deng Ai crawling on the porch, Cao Peng suddenly had an idea: meritocracy is the order...
It seems that he has found a suitable candidate!
Just this choice...
After lunch, Cao Peng went to the remote courtyard of the mansion.
Li Ru was sitting in the Buddhist hall. In the fire pond beside him, there was a blazing charcoal fire, which made the temperature of the Buddhist hall very high. As soon as he entered the door, Cao Peng felt the heat rushing towards his face. Looking at the piles of charcoal piled in the fire pond,
Cao Peng couldn't help but laugh and cry.
"Mr. Wencheng, what about?"
"What?"
"It's such a small Buddhist hall, but you made the fire so bright."
Li Ru rolled his eyes and said, "I have nothing to do. I can't go out, so naturally I hope this room can be warmer."
Cao Peng was joking, but he didn't care about Li Ru's tone.
He opened the window to allow the air to circulate, then sat down and recounted his experience in Sikong's mansion just now.
"Tell me, it's so good, why does Sikong want my brother to come back?"
Li Ru stretched his body and said, "What else could be the reason? Your brother-in-law has outstanding political achievements and has a high reputation in Haixi. Meng De is worried.
But don't worry, you're coping well today.
The more magnanimous you are, the less Meng De will doubt you. There is a 10-10 chance that Meng De will succeed your brother-in-law on the steps you take... But if Meng De calls your brother-in-law back, I am afraid that not only
It’s because his roots in Haixi are getting deeper and deeper…maybe he will be of great use.”
"What's the big deal?"
Li Ru took a deep breath, shook his head and said, "I can't say for sure.
Maybe he will stay in Xudu, or maybe he will be sent out to take charge. With his qualifications as in Haixi, plus you and your son, there should be no problem."
Cao Peng thought about it carefully, and it seemed that this was indeed the case.
All in all, Deng Ji has been in Haixi for more than two years.
With the development of Haixi, it has become a piece of fat that many people covet.
If Deng Ji continues to stay there, there will indeed be trouble. However, Haixi is now Cao Peng's most important asset.
The nine major guilds have earned him huge profits in the past two years.
These days, land and population are the most important.
But if there is no money and silk, nothing will be achieved.
This is another reason why Cao Peng tried his best to resist Cao Cao.
As long as Bu Zhao is there, we can ensure a continuous source of wealth. But I am afraid that it cannot be done by Buzhao alone... Haixi's profits are too big for him to swallow by himself. The best way is to share the benefits. However,
Who should you choose to share your interests with?
This is also a big problem.
If you choose a bad partner, you will definitely cause big trouble.
This person must have a close relationship with Mr. Cao, but his power cannot be too heavy, and he must be able to be controlled...
So, who should you choose?
Cao Hong?
Cao Ren?
Or a descendant of Xiahou?
"Sir, what are you thinking about?"
"I'm thinking about who we should co-govern Haixi."
Li Ru was stunned for a moment, and a smile appeared on his ugly face.
However, his smile was even more ugly than when he was not smiling. He gently touched his palms and nodded repeatedly.
"Sir, what do you mean?"
Li Ru sighed softly and said: "It is a good thing that the young master has careful thoughts.
I was just about to talk to Young Master about this matter. Haixi is too big, and it is impossible for you to swallow him completely by yourself."
"oh?"
"It must be shared with others, but this candidate..." Li Ru suddenly smiled and said softly: "These days, I have been thinking about Mr. Cao. I do have a candidate, I don't know what the young master wants. However, this candidate
, I’m afraid it’s not easy to win over.”
"who?"
"Mrs. Huan, how are you doing?"
Cao Peng suddenly raised his head and looked at Li Ru blankly.
"Did you know that Mrs. Huan is pregnant again?"
"so what?"
"How?" Li Ru smiled, "Cao Mengde is as lustful as life, but Mrs. Huan is pregnant. What does this mean? Mrs. Huan is the most favored. Now, Mrs. Bian is the head of the Sikong Mansion, and many people are paying attention. And the crown prince
Cao Pi, now the eldest son of Cao Mengde, naturally attracts more attention. Mrs. Huan now has only one son, and he is low-key by nature. Her clan is not prosperous. Although there are several children working for Cao Gong, they have no talents. Speaking of which,
Her branch is the weakest...just the right one to form an alliance with."
"oh?"
"Why did Zhang Xiu join Duke Cao?
Because he knows that joining Yuan Shao is, in your words, the icing on the cake; but joining Cao Mengde is indeed a timely help."
Cao Peng heard this and nodded slightly.
"Mrs. Bian today is just like Yuan Shao.
The prince has grown up, although Cao Cao is quite talented in the war. There are countless people who have made friends with him, so how can he care about your family? And Mrs. Huan is now Cao Mengde. You can help her now.
If she succeeds in the future, she will definitely remember your friendship today."
"I see!"
Cao Peng nodded and showed a smile.
He began to feel lucky that he had listened to Kan Ze's persuasion and kept Li Ru here.
This is really a big killer... With his secret help, I can at least save myself ten years of struggle.
"Sir, do you also think that Duke Cao will win?"
"If he doesn't win, you will be in trouble."
Li Ru stood up with a smile and slowly walked out of the Buddhist hall.
Cao Peng was sitting in the Buddhist hall and looked up at the Buddha statue enshrined in the Buddhist hall. He suddenly felt a burst of emotion and bowed devoutly in front of the Buddha statue.
With the blessing of Buddha, Duke Cao will surely win!
————————————————————————————————
The afternoon sun is very warm, and it makes people feel very comfortable when it shines on them.
Taking advantage of this rare leisure, Cao Peng lay on the porch, his head resting on Huang Yueying's legs, watching the clouds leisurely passing by in the sky.
"Yueying, a long letter said that Mr. Chen has sent people to Jiangxia."
"Um?"
"He went to ask for my hand in marriage."
Huang Yueying's face suddenly turned red.
Like a mosquito humming, he hummed.
In fact, she was also worried about this matter. She stayed in the Cao family. Although Cao Ji and Zhang recognized her, she had no status after all. Unless she was really desperate and didn't even care about her family... But for Full Reading
For Huang Yueying, who is a poet and book writer, that is really a bit difficult.
Chen Ji is the patriarch of the Chen family in Yingchuan and the grandson of Chen Shi.
In terms of family status and reputation, they are far higher than the Huang family. If Huang Chengyan doesn't really want to turn against the Yingchuan family, then most likely, he will nod his head and admit it.
"By the way, a few days ago, a man named Wei Yan came to see you."
"oh?"
"He said that he lives in Xuduguanyi during this period and asked you to find him when you come back."
Only then did Cao Peng remember that Wei Yan should indeed stay in Xudu at this time. Cao Zhen had mentioned it to him, but due to various reasons, he had missed it... This time Wei Yan came to Xudu, I'm afraid he could at least do the inspection.
Cao Zhen said before that Cao Zhen intended to let Wei Yan be the captain of the bandits. But in Cao Peng's view, this was not easy. The rank of the captain of the bandits was faked by two thousand stones. Not that Wei Yan
Not qualified, but my qualifications are a bit shallow... If I can work for a few more years, it is really possible.
However, the inspection of the captain is also Bi Qianshi's duty.
Cao Ji is now the True Qianshi, just one level higher than the Inspector.
It is also a good choice to be able to serve as a test captain and at least lead an army on your own.
Cao Peng quickly sat up and thought for a while, "Then I will go over and visit now... It has been almost three years since I said goodbye to Big Brother Wei Pingyu."
"Well, then I told mother that I won't cook for you tonight."
With such a sensible confidante, what more could I ask for?
Cao Peng quickly entered the house and changed his clothes.
Unexpectedly, when he was about to go out, he saw Deng Juye running over and blocking his way, "Youxue, someone from Zhijin Wu Yamen has asked you to go and report."
"ah?"
Cao Peng couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this...
