A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

The group finished their inspection of the two shipyards and returned to the Privy Council. Wen Yanbo sent someone to invite Shen An.

"Haosheng, please be polite. If I find out that you have neglected him, go back to the northwest."

This time Shen An is here.

There were many people sitting in the duty room. Shen An walked in and said with a smile, "Is this going to be a three-party trial?"

Wen Yanbo smiled and said: "Today I and the Privy Council just want to ask you something, please feel free to give me some advice."

"Easy to say."

Shen An was easy to talk, but a little lazy.

Wen Yanbo thought of his reputation and said helplessly: "That's all, I'll write a few words and make copybooks for Guoguo."

"Thank you, Wen Xiang."

Shen An's spirit improved instantly.

This guy really makes people hate him so much!

Wen Yanbo almost failed, "I went to two shipyards today. The naval shipyards are lazy and have some shortcomings. They pass off inferior ones as good ones, and the gatekeepers let people in at will, etc.

But Gao Yue's shipyard did not see such a thing. He himself worked with the craftsmen. I invited you here to ask questions. Back then, both shipyards were related to you, and you hired the craftsmen of Dashi. Why are they completely different now? "

"This is a problem!" Shen An felt that it was not nutritious. "Without any other, one is a big pot of rice, and the other is distribution according to work. Naturally, they are different."

"Distribution according to work, let's talk."

Distribution according to work, as well as the company's business philosophy, which later generations thought was normal, are now like secrets. Apart from other things, before the later generations changed it, these were still secrets. Later, I paid a lot of tuition and spent many years in the market, and then I came to know these.

Shen An stood in front, and the Privy Council sat down from Wen Yanbo, listening attentively.

Shen An felt that this was a bit like a school, and he was the preacher.

Yes, he felt like he was the preacher.

Da Song was ill.

Extremely ill!

This Song Dynasty needs not only doctors, but also a change of ideas.

Shen An took a deep breath and said: "People are selfish. Who can deny this? It's best to get out first to avoid fighting later."

Wen Yanbo nodded, and the two officials who wanted to debate sat down.

Whenever a gentleman is mentioned, these people are as excited as chicken blood, wishing they could flaunt themselves to be immortals. But he himself knew that he was not a gentleman, so he could only denounce those who were not gentlemen as not being great enough.

So if you mention human nature, you are poking their lungs.

People are selfish, and gentlemen are rare.

"Human nature is selfish! No matter whether they do good or bad work in Navy shipyards, they all have money. The most important thing is that they have money from top to bottom. They can make money by being lazy, so why should they be diligent? When a person is diligent Sometimes, people around him would laugh at him and treat him as an alien... Has Wen Xiang seen this kind of thing in his official career for many years?"

Wen Yanbo nodded, "Honest people are the easiest to be bullied."

This is the truth.

"Then the honest man can't hold on any longer. He must be like everyone else so that he won't be ostracized. So a good person will become a bad person in that place, because if he is not bad, he will become an alien. What is this like? "

Chen Xu frowned: "Shit pit! People who fall into it don't feel the smell. If someone calls out it smells bad, they will take a deep breath, praise the smell, and then exclude the person who said it smells bad."

Wen Yanbo's old face had some wrinkles, and he felt that Chen Xu's metaphor was too inappropriate.

So flavorful.

"This is true."

Shen An thought of the senior who later compared this atmosphere to a sauce vat.

"The navy allocates money and food from the central government. This is to ensure the harvest despite droughts and floods. Why are they panicking?" Shen An thought about the future, "But Gaoyue's side is different. Their ships must be better and better than others. , so they must keep pace with the times and figure out how to improve merchant ships. As for laziness, those craftsmen took Gao Yue’s wages but didn’t work, Gao Yue could eat them alive.”

Wen Yanbo nodded, "As for the navy, they don't have to worry about money and food, and Liu Hua himself doesn't care. Anyway, he doesn't have to worry about food and drink. As long as he can guarantee the supply of navy warships, this is... standing still!"

Shen An looked at him, nodded and said, "Exactly. But Gao Yue is not without problems."

"I went to see it today. Everyone is diligent and there are no problems."

"It's no problem now. That's because it's too small." Shen An thought of the experiences of those large companies in later generations. "The Song Dynasty currently does not go to sea on a large scale, so it does not need many ships. If the sails cover the sky in the future, , How big will the shipyard be? At this time, we have to take care of people's abilities. If the people are not used well and the rules are not complete, they will make the same mistake as the navy shipyard."

When the scale is large, internal problems will arise, such as factions and internal strife...

These are like moths, gradually corroding the collective body.

"I understand." Wen Yanbo stood up and said: "No wonder you talk about the nature of human nature. All of this is derived from the nature of human nature. If everyone is a gentleman, naturally there will be no such thing. But... …”

"Ahem!"

Someone beside him coughed twice. Wen Yanbo glanced at him and said, "Are you sick? Go back and rest. Come back in half a month."

The official wanted to remind Wen Yanbo that what he said was taboo, but he didn't expect that he would receive this punishment. When he stood up and wanted to explain, Wen Yanbo said calmly: "Go quickly!"

At this time, you can see the prestige of Lao Wen coming.

The official didn't dare to say anything anymore and resigned.

If he comes back half a month later, his position will be gone.

Wen Yanbo said calmly: "Gentlemen are rare. Fan Wenzheng is one, but I am not."

These words made Shen An have to raise his hands to show respect.

In this era where officialdom is in vogue, officials who have the courage to say that they are not gentlemen are half-gentlemen.

Wen Yanbo said: "There are many workshops in the official camp of the Song Dynasty. This matter is a wake-up call. I am afraid that there will be many such things in other places. I will ask people to investigate later. But this kind of inspection treats the symptoms but not the root cause. Anbei has a good strategy Teach me?"

As he spoke, he laughed, looking like a kind old grandfather.

Shen An also smiled, as innocently as a child who didn't understand the world, "Someone will discover this matter soon. If you want to solve it, you have to look around and think about it carefully."

"You are good at doing business. I'm afraid you are the best at this kind of method among all the civil and military officials in the court. So I know. Just think about it. If you come up with a good idea, I will take credit for you."

Shen An smiled and agreed.

After coming out of the Privy Council, he couldn't help but sneered.

Where are the places managed by the Privy Council more than those managed by the Three Divisions?

Lao Wen is trying to coax him with the demeanor of an elder!

But he wasn't fooled at all!

Wen Yanbo went all the way to the palace to see Zhao Shu.

Zaifu could not meet with officials alone, and Lao Wen strictly abided by this unspoken rule.

But when he wanted to invite Fu Bi to the palace, the Political Affairs Hall introduced Bao Zheng.

Wen Yanbo glanced at Han Qi and smiled calmly.

Han Qi also smiled, and after he and Bao Zheng left, he said to Zeng Gongliang: "Hearing that Shen Ancai was going to the Privy Council, I tested Wen Chunyu. Sure enough, it turned out that Xiren was going with him. He felt a little uncomfortable, hahahaha!"

Fu Bi lowered his head, but also smiled.

With Bao Zheng following him, it would be embarrassing if what Wen Yanbo said was related to Shen An.

After meeting Zhao Shu along the way, Wen Yanbo said: "Guan family, I went to two shipyards today and found that the naval shipyards were overstaffed, lazy, and not rigorous in their work..."

Zhao Shu listened and judged Wen Yanbo's intention. With Bao Zheng by his side, he felt that it would be much easier.

"That door is not strictly inspected at all. What if thieves or spies come? But Gaoyue's shipyard is very diligent in everything, which is completely different."

"Is there a solution to this?"

As an emperor, it is rare to be proficient in certain fields, but for the most part, you have to rely on your ministers. In other words, in many cases, ministers are actually think tank-like existences.

Wen Yanbo pondered for a moment, "I have thought hard for a long time and thought that the only way to do this is to send people to supervise frequently."

Zhao Shu remembered the previous report from the Imperial City Department, saying that Wen Yanbo had been in close contact with Shen An these days, and it was like mixing honey with oil.

The idiot who reported the report used the word "mixed oil with honey" and asked Zhao Shu to tell Zhang Baisheng to go to school. I guess everyone in the Imperial City Department is complaining from top to bottom now for studying.

Thinking of this, he said calmly: "Shen An has no idea?"

This is a hint: I know everything about what is going on between you.

As an emperor, you must always intimidate your ministers. Zhao Shu's methods are nothing. The most powerful ones were Emperor Qin and Emperor Wu of Han. The imperial palaces were deep and majestic, but they looked dull. But after you got used to this dullness, they suddenly struck a cruel blow, and the officials suddenly became awe-inspiring.

Those emperors often severely punished their ministers, even to death, so the ministers were afraid and naturally did not dare to neglect them.

This is the most domineering way to maintain prestige.

Zhao Shu was different. He just used these words to tell the officials: The Imperial City Division is watching you, so don't make any small moves.

Wen Yanbo said: "I'm afraid Shen An's work for a year and a half will yield no results."

Bao Zheng remained silent at the side, but felt that this matter was a bit strange.

Others didn't know it, but he was very aware of Shen An's ability in this area.

The Shen family's business is now large-scale, and the total number of people is no less than that of the shipyard. Whether it is the workshop or the store, they have been obedient over the years, and I have never heard of anyone daring to slack off.

So why did Wen Yanbo say that Shen An couldn't think of a solution for a year and a half?

Bao Zheng couldn't help but smile.

Later Wen Yanbo resigned, UU Reading www.uukanshu． ｅt Bao Zheng took a step back and said, "Shen An, that child, knows this and is a bit quick-witted."

What is quick wit?

If you have a problem, you can come up with a solution in a short time.

Wen Yanbo felt his head skip a beat and turned around to look at Bao Zheng.

Bao Zheng turned around just in time.

"Thank you for your hard work, Minister Wen." Bao Zheng said calmly: "That kid has lacked some credit recently."

Wen Yanbo recalled Shen An's innocent smile at that time and couldn't help but want to slap himself.

Zhao Shu's voice came from behind, "This matter is urgent, go and call Shen An."

…

Shen An needs some credit, and the Jazz needs some monthly votes. Guys, please throw in some votes.
