Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 612 Teaching Children (1)

Zhou Xin followed Zhou Cang all the time, and only then did he ask: "My child already understands the father's arrangement, but I don't know why the father doesn't allow the child to listen to the debate?"

Zhou Cang sighed: "It's good to listen, but you have to know that you can't do everything yourself. You should be prepared for some things and know the results. Your time should be spent on more important things. It's better to listen to their arguments there." Go to the various divisions. Besides, this debate will inevitably involve you, or be related to you, and it would be unbeautiful for you to be there."

"There is one thing I don't know about my son. My father said that in the future, I will hire people who have both morality and ability, regardless of their background. Anyone who recommends them will start from the grassroots. From my point of view, Xu Gai, Pei Feng, Boba and others, if they are not General Xu, Pei, Bo The sons of the two uncles, I am afraid that it will be difficult to have a chance, even if Qu Fengxian has been with me since he was a child, it must be superior to others."

"Yeah, it's good to think of this. It shows that you have put your heart into it. It is true that they have more opportunities, but they must have real talents and learn to convince others, otherwise it will be useless." Zhou Cang pointed to the code. Full. "It's like Pengju. Just ask the one in the army who refuses to accept it."

"That way too."

"There is no absolute fairness. Seeing that a father knows his son, he might as well give more opportunities, but it is absolutely not allowed to cheat the public for personal gain. Officials, the most important tools of the country, are obtained by ability and performance. No matter how great the achievements are, rewarding money is nothing. You can't germinate descendants." Zhou Cang followed the instructions.

Zhou Xin asked Dianman: "Pengju, what do you think?"

"I don't know about others, but I know that I have to rely on my true ability. If I have no ability, I can only rely on my parents. When will I rely on it? Are you not afraid of being laughed at?" Dian said disdainfully.

"That's because you have real skills. If the Xin's sister-in-law's child is not as good as yours, so what should I do?" After finishing speaking, Zhou Xin felt speechless. "Brother, don't blame me, I have absolutely no intention of slandering you."

Dianman said carelessly: "That's nothing. My family's land is enough for him to eat and drink for the rest of his life. If he can give birth to a good son, that's a blessing. If not, then he should be a good farmer. My mother said that if I don't have that ability, I will do that." Officer, sooner or later disaster will come, it is said that that is what my grandpa said. I think it is true, if you have no time to be a general, the two armies are fighting. Isn’t that courting death? It’s better to go home and farm.”

Zhou Cang sighed, thinking of Duke Gan, he was a wise man with great insight. "Pengju turned around and told your uncle that the grandfather sent the Gan clan out because of the troubled times. Now that Xuzhou and other places are in peace, you can go find the clansmen and return to the native land." I don't know if there are any successful people in the Gan clan, Zhou Cangqiu Virtue is thirsty.

"Father, I understand what you and Brother Pengju mean, but I have been thinking: How many people can think like this like arguing in the academy? Anyone who is an official or general does not care about life and death, isn't it for future generations? ? They are willing to be alone, only for the descendants of Mengyin. Father cut off their thoughts, will they..."

"Hiss~" Zhou Cang looked at Zhou Xin. "Who told you this?"

Zhou Xin hurriedly knelt down on the ground: "There is no one else, it's the child who is thinking wildly."

"It's okay if no one incites it. Remember, if someone says this in your ear, you have to be careful." Zhou Cang breathed a sigh of relief. "If it's what you think, I might as well tell you that if there is such a person, no matter how brave and capable he is, then don't use it. The descendants of Zequi? Then what he thinks is no longer the country, no longer the people but himself! For his own sake, he will betray you, and for his own benefit, he will abandon his loyalty and righteousness, which will become a great disaster. What do people in the world think if their children and grandchildren steal high positions without merit? ? Once you have a high position, you will not think about making progress. In order to keep your position, you will definitely suppress talented people in the world. Talented people will not be promoted. How can you be convinced?"

"What the child is worried about is that everyone can't understand his father's painstaking efforts; the second is that Cao Cao, Sun Quan, and Liu Bei have done such a thing, and it is inevitable that some people will be tempted..."

"Hehe, that's good. It seems that Jiang Gan is busy again after this discussion." Zhou Cang chuckled. "The generals will also participate in the next debate."

Zhou Cang made up his mind to attack the hereditary. He could reward money and honors, but he could not give official positions, not even titles.But Zhou Cang still doesn't dare to make a one-size-fits-all decision. No matter how prestige he has, if he touches the interests of so many people, it may be difficult for people to accept. It's better to let everyone discuss it. Even if it can't be done in one step, they will always compromise with each other and adjust slowly that is.

"Speaking of the generals, I went to the army with Qu Feng to practice a while ago, and I was very puzzled when I heard some rumors, so I asked my father to clarify."

"Huh? Let's talk." Zhou Cang was slightly taken aback. What's the comment in the army?
"Father set up the Five Armies and served as the commander of the Five Armies. Some soldiers were displeased with General Chen Dao. It is said that General Chen Dao had followed his father a long time ago, guarding the emperor's return to the east, pacifying Xuzhou, attacking Runan, and participating in the battles of Guandu and Liaodong. It can be called a record. He is outstanding. But the commander of the five armies does not have him. Although Xu Yuanzhi is a genius, he has not lived for a long time. Although Uncle Pei has been the longest, he has no great achievements..." The subtext is nothing more than Pei Yuanshao's personal friendship with Zhou Cang.

"Then what do you think?"

"I thought that Dudu Xu was unparalleled in wisdom and planning. Needless to say, he was a genius in the world. Uncle Pei was with his father since he was a child, and he was sincere enough to entrust him with important responsibilities." Zhou Xin thought that Zhou Cang thought Pei Yuanshao was sincere.

"Wrong! It's true that you, Uncle Pei, are brothers and sisters with me, but you also need to know that people will change. Of course, I'm not talking about him. Therefore, it is very important to use people to see if they are sincere, but it is by no means the most important thing. Use what you need. At the beginning, I had no more than a thousand people. You, Uncle Pei and Bocai, worked tirelessly in Woniugang and Dabie Mountains, recruiting soldiers and horses, accumulating grass and grain, and training soldiers for me. It is with their backing that I can accomplish things. You Pei Uncle asked many times to fight the enemy, but was dissuaded. I didn't give him a chance. But, do you think he had any troubles in Langya, Beihai, and Liaodong? With him, I can rest assured that not only can he defend On the one hand, there are still energy sources, equipment, and food for our army. Without these, how can we fight in the front? If nothing else, let’s take the Xuanjiaqi as an example. Sun Li is certainly brave, but where would the Xuanjiaqi be without your Uncle Pei? ?So when looking at things, you can’t just look at the appearance, and a ruler can’t just focus on the outstanding achievements and forget the fundamentals. Soldiers are superficial and don’t understand the general situation. It’s a good thing to listen well, and it’s more important to be good at judging.”

"I understand, my child. At the beginning of Gao Dilun's merits, Xiao He was ranked first, not Zhang Liang and Han Xin. That's it."

Seeing Zhou Xin hesitate to speak, Zhou Cang asked, "Do you have any questions?"
