Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 88
After Gao Mo made the recommendation, it was Gao Xiaozhuang's turn, but Gao Xiaozhuang only recommended one person, with a pretty good name, Gao Fu.Gao Wushi's first reaction when he heard this name was: Yo, he's just short of handsome.

Coincidentally, Gao Xiaozhuang also does not avoid his relatives, and this Gao Fu is actually his third uncle.

Gao Xiaozhuang is the son of the Gao family, as is his third uncle, Gao Fu.If you really want to count, after beating Gao Xiaozhuang's great-grandfather, all the members of their family are the sons of the Gao family.

This relationship is a bit far away: when Gao Xiaozhuang's great-grandfather was five years old, he was sold by his family because of poverty and disaster. At that time, Gao Kui, a pragmatic great-grandfather, was the doctor of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce. It is not small to say the least, it is roughly equivalent to the director of a certain ministry in later generations. If it is released to the outside world, even if it is transferred at the same level, it is safe to be a magistrate.

Although Master Gao Kui was a Beijing official at the time, he was also in charge of Jizhou iron smelting. Gao Xiaozhuang's great-grandfather was bought by Gao Kui by chance when he was inspecting the official iron smelting in Jizhou.Since then, several generations of his family have been using Gao as their surname, and they have become the sons of the Gao family.

Gao Fu is not familiar with Gao Yushi, so he can only listen to Gao Xiaozhuang's introduction. According to Gao Xiaozhuang, his third uncle is "handy". It is also exceptionally good - in March of the 45th year of Jiajing, after Gao Gong became a minister of the Ministry of Rites and a bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion, he presided over the construction of the large ancestral hall rebuilt by the Gao family.

Simply put, this is an engineering talent.Gao Xiaozhuang's reason for recommending him is: Since the young master will open a mine in the future, and opening a mine will inevitably require digging a hole, so someone like his third uncle, Gao Fu, is definitely needed.

There is a good reason for this. Gao Yushi has always liked subordinates with professional expertise. As for Gao Fu's loyalty... the family has children for several generations, and he can preside over the construction of Gao's ancestral hall. Is there any need to doubt it?

Gao Yushi calculated in his mind, Gao Mo recommended three, Gao Xiaozhuang recommended one, plus the two of them himself, when the time comes, there will be as many as seven people in the "Gao Family Gang" under him, even if three The people on Shenyuan's side were not enough to fully return to their hearts for a while, and he was enough to control the situation.

Besides, at that time, Gao Mo still held the basic armed force of the family guards, even if something happened here, he could completely control the situation.

Gao Yushi had served as a leader in his previous life, and he was also a small leader himself. He knew very well what the people below were thinking.Sanshen Garden was originally an industry that fell from the world. It originally had its own "organizational system", but now with the entry of Gao Pragmatism, a new group of management will be added.

They all "work" in the same place, and the new management and the old management will definitely form two factions naturally. This is a perfectly normal situation, and the highly pragmatic will not be so brain-twitching that they have to find ways to make them "unite". , that is a thankless task.

His way of handling it is to try to keep these two factions in a delicate balance: for example, the original three stewards of Sanshen Garden, because of their local advantages, their local popularity is definitely not comparable to that of Gao Mo and Gao Xiaozhuang , so Gao Wushi directly joined the five new "Gao Family Gang" management, and there was even a serious young master of the Gao Family among them.

Although Gao Guoyan's father, Gao Duo's pragmatic second uncle, joined the martial arts, after all, Gao Guoyan is the "Master of the Gao family" as a fake. He himself is not a piece of mud, and no one of the three major stewards of Sanshen Garden can control him.

The status gap in feudal society is often so difficult to make up and equal—unless you have the ability to come back from the Jinshi examination.

Gao Mo and Gao Xiaozhuang were also assigned tasks and recommended talents, so Gao Wushi asked them to go down and think about what to do next.Tomorrow, one of these two will be responsible for recruiting guards, and the other will organize soap production. They both have to think about how to carry out the work.Of course, Gao Yushi had a relatively complete idea in his heart, but after much deliberation, he decided not to talk about it, but to see what Gao Mo and Gao Xiaozhuang planned to do.

It's not that Gao Yushi is being lazy on purpose, it's a bit of the so-called leadership art that he realized in his previous life: don't give your subordinates a clear idea of ​​what they should do, let them just follow their own baton to do it. Succeed easily, otherwise, even if this person is originally capable, he will be destroyed by you, the leader, sooner or later.

On the contrary, as a leader, one should be able to fully delegate power and let his subordinates think and practice on their own. What the leader has to do is to clarify the general direction and help them to take a rudder in case they have the possibility of taking a detour. , reversing the direction back is enough.Only in this way can we train the growth of our subordinates—isn’t this the way most of the time the organization cultivated cadres in the previous life?
After all, only Gao Pragmatic knows how many industries he may be involved in in the future. If he doesn't train as many talents as possible from now on, will he manage so many industries himself while being an official in the future?Even if he was exhausted, he couldn't do it.

Although he wanted to save the Ming, he didn't intend to be Zhuge Kongming who died young.

Of course, this doesn't mean that Zhuge Liang didn't understand the importance of cultivating talents. Was it true that Zhuge Liang couldn't dig out talents in history?Servant Dong Yun, Chang Shi Fei Wei, Minister Yang Yi, and Ma Di who joined the army, etc., these talents are the auxiliary materials of the country. The fact that the Kingdom of Shu can exist as a weak state of the Three Kingdoms is itself a manifestation of its domestic stability and unity. How could the country not find a chance for so long?

But no matter how powerful Zhuge Liang is, he is still human and has his limitations.His own talent determines that he is more suitable for management, but not for decision-making.He likes capable people with many talents, but he does not like to use people with impure morals but great abilities.

The idea of ​​employing talents with both ability and virtue can be very popular in the peaceful world, but it cannot become the dominant idea of ​​employing talents during the Warring States period of survival, because no one is perfect, and gold is never enough.But looking at Zhuge Liang's later period in power, the idea of ​​"virtue first and talent later" has become the dominant choice for him to employ people, and its drawbacks have gradually emerged.

For example, among the original talents in central Sichuan, Liao Li, who thought his intelligence was only in Zhuge's deputy, was placed in an idle position for a long time; What's even more interesting is that he couldn't use it to the best of his ability just because he was "naturally rebellious at the back of his head", and was finally forced to rebel shortly after Zhuge Liang's death.

What's more, it is difficult to list specific standards for things like virtue and talent. In most cases, it can only be judged by personal standards.Joining the army with Ma Di, the Ma brothers started their careers with fame, and then joined the army to offer advice, which won Zhuge's approval. As a result, they lost everything in the battle of Jieting, and the entire Northern Expedition was on the verge of failure.

Therefore, the highly pragmatic talent training plan is more inclined to start from the bottom, start from small things, first look at ability, and then consider virtue.If someone under him may be talented, then give him a chance to take charge of a certain job, and Gao Yushi himself will analyze the person's character, ability, character, etc. from his handling of the job, and then consider the right person. His future use, or consideration for training.
