Chapter 67: Only the Paranoid Can Succeed
As the number of subordinates increased, Yun Zhao basically stopped doing specific things.
He spent all his time cultivating and employing people.
To this day, Lantian County still has a strong shadow of Jia Tianxia.
It is said that there are as many intelligent people in the world as crucian carp crossing the river, but Yun Zhao always likes to use fish from his own fish pond.
Even some wild ones can only be entrusted with important tasks after a long period of domestication.
People, all kinds of things, must follow certain development rules, which makes it possible for the Lord to selectively employ people.
Zhuge Liang’s seven methods of observing people are too one-sided and undesirable. It is inappropriate to use only seven aspects to test and observe a person. The best are those who are armed with their own thoughts. 's subordinates.
Cao Cao's meritocratic employment strategy is also inappropriate. This employment method can only sustain his generation. As soon as he is finished, his subordinates will begin to disperse.
So, when Yun Zhao hires people, he basically uses people he is familiar with.
Although doing so is suspected of nepotism, Yun Zhao still insists on doing so because his former leader once said: I don’t even know you, but you asked me to reuse you. Aren't you embarrassing me?
Instead of this, why don't I use those people who surround me all day long and know the basics?
This is not because I am selfish, but because those who want to improve don’t work hard, and you don’t show me your talents and let me know who you are, why should I promote you?
You know, everyone I promote must use my credibility as a guarantee.
Yun Zhao remembered this passage very well, because after listening to his master's words, he worked hard to show his talent to him, and then he was sent to the countryside to work as a poverty alleviation cadre... The master believed that, This is where his talent lies! ! ! !
Yun Zhao didn’t know what his strengths were at that time. Anyway, after looking at the operations of his superiors, he felt that even a dog could do it well. When he started to independently operate a poor village , only to discover that it is difficult to be a capable dog.
My head is empty, but I have to face the villagers’ eager eyes or disdainful eyes. I feel so panicked. I usually feel so strong that I can poke a hole in the sky. At this time, I will only tell He said two words - run!
Just when he was at his most desperate, the master came and roared so loudly that all the villagers thought he was a huge official who could easily kill all the disobedient people in the village. That kind of high-ranking official then kicked a newcomer like Yun Zhao and led the villagers to unload the film from the car, and finally told the villagers to plant garlic in all the free fields...
Then, garlic sprouts became a big hit that year!
On this matter, Yun Zhao admired his master so much...…until the master got drunk one time and told him that he didn’t know that garlic sprouts were so popular. He was originally going to let the villagers grow garlic.
He doesn’t know whether growing garlic makes money or not. He only knows that he will definitely protect his capital. Even if the garlic cannot be sold, it doesn’t matter. He will coordinate with his superiors. Even if each civil servant buys ten kilograms of garlic and takes it home, he can still make it. The problem of that village is solved.
At this point, Yun Zhao finally understood where the cheap and weird things he often received from the government when he paid his salary came from. It was all because officials could not find middlemen, leading to the failure of poverty alleviation. Products...
Sometimes it's just good luck. People in a village can change a lot of things with funds. Even if they fail, it's still more inconvenient than in the northwest on a large scale. Wheat is better grown where grain is grown.
When we came to the Ming Dynasty, this kind of administrative affairs that seemed to hit the jackpot became an obvious advantage for Yun Zhao.
What makes him stronger than his master is that he knows the direction of the world, he knows the direction of history, and he knows in which direction society is moving.
He knew exactly where his master was confused.
So, he had the ability to turn stone into gold!
If you want people to grow wheat, plant wheat; if you want people to grow garlic, plant garlic.
It was this successful experience that made Yun Zhao's reputation soaring in Lantian County and even in the Ming Dynasty.
Those natives who were much smarter than Yun Zhao, such as Lu Xiangsheng, Hong Chengchou, Sun Chuanting, Han Lingshan and others, trembled because of Yun Zhao's magical ability to see the way forward. This group of people.
So, Yun Zhao can stay in the comfortable and safe environment of Yushan with peace of mind, flirting with his wife while engaging in the sweetest and warmest parent-child activities, and handling official duties at will. Gain the most heartfelt love from his subordinates.
Even if they have to fight the most ferocious enemies in deserts and grasslands, even if they have to fight for their lives on the magnificent sea, even if they have to fight to the death with the most ferocious bureaucrats and reactionary forces of the Ming Dynasty, And willingly.
Because of Yun Zhao.
Because since Yun Zhao was born, every decision he made has never disappointed these people. They have seen the dawn of victory and firmly believe that everything they do is correct. This is correct, they would rather throw their heads and blood.
"The most difficult thing in the world is to find the right way forward..."
After Yun Zhao signed a resolution to vigorously develop the Dongting navy, he couldn't help but sigh. A long sigh.
"The Yangtze River is a big problem!"
Yang Xiong very thoughtfully brought a map of the Jiangnan water system, pointed to the dense water network and said: "South boats and north horses, we want To have enough deterrence against the south, we must maintain a strong naval force.
We are inadvertently impressed by the county magistrate's foresight.The naval forces have already been deployed, and there are Han Xiufen and Zheng Zhilong on the sea. If there are still river naval forces in the lake, then we only need to wait for these naval forces to grow up to form a two-sided encirclement of Jiangnan. "
"Zheng Zhilong cannot be called one of her own. In this regard, Han Xiufen's strength needs to be strengthened. Since she has used black people to become the main force in her fleet, she cannot do those things that harm black people. things.
In distant black Africa, she can support a black tribe and become their true friend. In this way, we can have a steady stream of expedition soldiers, and the retired black crew members will have a good team in the future. A place to stay is very important to them. "
Yang Xiong nodded naturally and said: "Kunlun slaves cannot enter the Central Plains!
Yun Zhao shook his head and said: "Of course they can come in. They can come to the Central Plains to study, play, and even serve as officials. It's not a big deal. They can gain respect in this way, but who doesn't like their hometown?" "
Yang Xiong didn't like the county magistrate's words at all, and said bluntly: "They are just not allowed to go to land on a large scale, right?
Yun Zhao frowned and scolded: "How do you talk?"
Yang Xiong nodded and said: "I will make this clear in the letter to Han Xiufen, the kind of letter that will be burned after reading." "
Yun Zhao nodded and said: "Write it in pinyin and tell Han Xiufen that it is Yongli. ”
You can’t use people who are too smart as soldiers. People who are too smart usually cherish their lives. In the Ming Dynasty, this trait was particularly prominent. Whether it was the Qi family army or the Baigan army, their soldiers were not very good. Smart.
Because of these soldiers, they would brave the artillery fire and the overwhelming rain of arrows to charge at the enemy.
At least, Yun Zhao couldn't do it. Of course, Li Dingguo is an example of a pervert who likes the battlefield.
Lantian County's army is transforming into a smart one. This is very dangerous, and the research on new weapons must be accelerated.
There is still no mercury. Made... Yun Zhao's heart felt like it was fried in oil.
Yun Zhao knew the word fulminant, but he had to ask Duan Guoren what fulminant was. I accidentally discovered that high-speed rotation can increase the stability of a bullet. How can I make the bullet rotate?
When I accidentally discovered that a bucket with a hole in the bottom is leaking, the water flow will naturally rotate. So, he designed a broach to draw out several curves on the barrel wall.
After experiments, he found that it was indeed helpful for accuracy, but the lead bullet was too soft and could not be fired twice. After that, the pulled groove would be filled with lead.
Then he would use copper as the bullet...
Then he would experiment with copper. Wrapped with lead bullets... Later, he felt that it was troublesome to clean the barrel after a few shots.
So, he started to have random thoughts - he thought that the gunpowder and lead bullets should be integrated. According to the principle that gunpowder will explode as long as it is smashed, it is proposed thatAbandon the match rope, strengthen the beak on the blunderbuss, and send the bullet out by smashing the gunpowder with the beak.
After the gunpowder burns and the lead bullet is pushed out, it is best to fly out with the bullet.
So, he approached people from the Wuhan Institute and asked for a good way to connect gunpowder and bullets and ignite spontaneously under the influence of external force. In fact, in the Wuhan Institute, the development of rifling has been carried out to a very high level. Not only are riflings engraved on bird guns, but even some secret cannons have begun to have rifling.
It’s just that engraving rifling on the barrel is too labor-intensive, and the success rate is very low. However, engraving rifling on a cannon requires changing the appearance of the cannonball. A ball that rotates without rotating has no future.
Now, Duan Guoren proposed that the method of connecting gunpowder and bullets gave the Wuhan Institute a new research direction. This was the shining point of the wisdom of the Ming indigenous people that Yun Zhao witnessed with his own eyes.
So, people from the Wuhan Institute of Technology who had new research directions habitually wrote to Yun Zhao asking for money. In the end, in order to encourage this kind of discovery, Yun Zhao specially rewarded those who were not interested in money at all. Duan Guoren received five thousand taels of gold.
Since outsiders are unreliable, Yun Zhao hopes that these people who graduated from Yushan Academy and have certain knowledge of objects can give him some new surprises.
Looking at the dozen or so damaged muskets placed on the table, Yun Zhao sighed in his heart.
This is the latest experimental result of the Wuhan Research Institute. This is the result of gunpowder being violently smashed and exploded.
“The bullet was pushed out, but the power of the gunpowder could not be controlled. We thought about controlling the direction of the gunpowder thrust, but it was difficult, so we thought we should put the gunpowder in a small circle. In the cylinder, a flint is installed at the bottom of the cylinder, so that the beak can hit the flint with very little force, the flint will catch fire and ignite the gunpowder, and finally push the bullet out.
My lord, you. Look, this is our latest ammunition, except for its instability, everything else is good. Now we are trying to find a primer that is more sensitive than flint."
Zhang Guozhu's sister Zhang Ying said from the pocket. He took out something from his pocket and handed it to Yun Zhao.
Yun Zhao looked at the bullets in front of him that were very close to the bullets he remembered. He hid his hands in his sleeves and clenched his fists secretly. He felt that he was far away from the real age of firearms at this moment. It's already close at hand.
"Yes, what kind of reward do you want?" Yun Zhao tried his best to appear calm.
Zhang Ying lifted up her skirt, pointed to a scar on her white calf and said, "Do you know where this scar came from?"
Yun Zhao hesitated. Said: "It seems that you jumped off the building yourself."
Zhang Ying said coldly: "Yes, it was because of your brother-in-law that I jumped off the building!"
Yun Zhao spread his hands and said: "Qian Shaoshao is getting married. Let's change my request. For example, you can call me Zhang Guoying!"
Zhang Ying put down her lifted skirt and looked into Yun Zhao's eyes.He said in one sentence: "Sooner or later I will become Zhang Guoying. I am sure of this. Don't use my things to reward me."
Yun Zhao said in embarrassment: "You also know that Qian Shaoshao is already married. "
Zhang Ying said to herself: "Based on the word mercury you mentioned, I have synthesized a new thing using mercury and a liquid. This thing explodes very quickly. Sheng Flint, I feel that I have touched the threshold, and all that is left is to continue experimenting.
What if..."
Yun Zhao felt that his little tongue seemed to be trembling without thinking. He said: "As long as you can get me the mercury fulminant, Qian Shaosao is at your disposal!"
