"But whether it is Cheng Yaojin or Xue Rengui, it shows that Li Shimin has a keen eye."

"In the last years of Zhenguan, at a court meeting, Li Shimin asked Changsun Wuji to comment on his faults as the emperor in front of the ministers."

"Although Changsun Wuji is Li Shimin's brother-in-law, he didn't dare to answer this question and had no choice but to flatter him."

"This flattery was slapped on the thigh. Li Shimin was very unhappy, and then he began to evaluate the important ministers in the court in front of the ministers."

"Changsun Wuji is good at avoiding suspicion and responds quickly. He is no worse than the ancient sages. However, commanding troops is not his strength."

"Gao Shilian was involved in ancient and modern times. He was intelligent and wise. He never changed his integrity when faced with difficulties. He also did not form cliques when he was an official. The only thing he lacked was uprightness, discipline and loyalty."

"Tang Jian speaks beautifully and fluently, has a peaceful temperament, and is considerate. He talks eloquently while drinking and drinking. It is a pity that after following me for thirty years, he has not said a single word that has affected the country's gain or loss."

"Yang Shidao has a pure nature and impeccable moral character, but he is timid and has difficulty taking on big responsibilities. No matter how urgent the matter is, he is unable to do anything."

"Cen Wenwen has an honest character and his writing is his strength. However, he is accustomed to quoting scriptures and references, which sometimes leads to being divorced from reality..."

"Li Shimin commented on the important civil and military ministers under his command one by one. Although his tone was tactful, it was sharp and penetrating. This shows Li Shimin's vicious vision and meticulous observation."

"It is precisely because of this pair of eyes that Li Shimin was able to make full use of his talents and build a strong and efficient talent team. Zhenguan Dazhi was jointly created by Li Shimin and his talent team."

"Of course, with a vicious vision and no source of talent, Li Shimin will not have a large number of talents available. Li Shimin also has his own uniqueness in the development of human resources."

"In the first year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin first ascended to Dabao. Talents were scarce at that time."

"So he ordered Feng Deyi, the prime minister at the time, to be responsible for recommending talents to the court."

"But several months have passed and I haven't seen a single splash of talent."

"Li Shimin was very unhappy and went to question Feng Deyi."

"Feng Deyi used the excuse that there were not many talents in the world, which made Li Shimin laugh angrily. He said: "A gentleman uses people like weapons, and everyone takes advantage of their strengths.How can those who achieved great governance in ancient times borrow their talents from another generation? If you can’t know your own troubles, you can safely accuse others of the same generation!”

"This sentence is the essence of Li Shimin's employment. Everyone has his or her own shining points. As long as this person's abilities can be discovered and put into a suitable position, there will be an inexhaustible supply of talents in the world."

"But Feng Deyi did not have the vision to discover talents, but slandered that there are no talents in the world. Does it mean that every dynasty borrows talents from other dynasties?"

"Seeing that Feng Deyi was useless, Li Shimin personally took action. At that time, there were ten talents in the world, and eight percent of them were in the famous families."

"There are elites among poor families, but the channels for advancement are monopolized by aristocratic families."

"So, Li Shimin personally issued an edict: No matter your family background, no matter your background, no matter Chinese or foreign, no matter whether you are a scholar or a commoner, as long as your character is good and your talent and learning are outstanding, you can find a job with me."

"Li Shimin's edict directly broke the gentry's monopoly on promotion channels. Coupled with the further improvement of the imperial examination system, some nobles from poor families began to emerge in the Tang Dynasty."

"For example, Ma Zhou, the prime minister of Zhenguan, came from a poor family and had been unsuccessful in his early days. Later, he was accidentally discovered by Li Shimin, and suddenly he became extraordinary. Ten years after Zhenguan, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and other capable ministers passed away one after another. Ma Zhou Became their successor.”

"The so-called superior ones work hard, the middle ones work hard, and the inferior ones work hard." "Li Shimin is definitely a superior person. He is good at delegating power to his ministers, knows people well and appoints them without suspicion."

"So, although things were difficult during the Zhenguan period, Li Shimin, who had a lot of talents, did not die of overwork."

"All of these are lessons Li Shimin learned from Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian."

"Emperor Yang Jian of the Sui Dynasty was a master who would rather tire himself to death than give up power easily."

"I don't want to trust Bai Si. I make my own decisions in everything. Although I have worked hard, I still can't make it right."

"This sentence clearly exposed Yang Jian's shortcomings in employing people."

"But delegating power does not mean laissez-faire. Li Shimin would also hit his ministers from time to time, and after beating them, he would give them some benefits. A typical slap would give them a date, which is what we now call enlarging the carrot. Great."

"Li Jing, Yu Chigong, Li Shiji, Fang Xuanling and other founding fathers were all cared for by Li Shimin since they were ministers of the dragon."

"In the fourth year of Zhenguan, Li Jing pacified the Eastern Turks and made an unparalleled contribution."

"I originally came to Chang'an with great enthusiasm to receive the award, but someone bought a copy."

"The person who participated in him was Wen Yanbo. He said that he allowed his subordinates to plunder money and violated a taboo in the army. This made Li Jing break into a cold sweat and was in panic all day long."

"But I don't know that Li Shimin asked Wen Yanbo to read Li Jing's book because Li Jing had done too much credit and was worried that he would be proud of himself."

"I would like to ask, Li Jing has achieved extraordinary achievements and is gaining momentum. How could Wen Yanbo offend Li Jing at this time? It is hard to believe that there is no instruction from Li Shimin behind him."

"Li Shimin saw Li Jing, reprimanded him severely, and then asked him to return home to reflect."

"After a while, Li Shimin felt that the beating was almost done, so he summoned Li Jing to the palace and began to reward him."

"This made Li Jing feel grateful to Li Shimin, but at the same time, he also became very wary of Li Shimin. Therefore, unless there was a war, Li Jing would always stay in the mansion and be a peaceful otaku, writing military books. .”

"The rest of the ministers also had the same experience as Li Jing. Li Shimin used this trick repeatedly and kept his ministers in submission."

"In general, Li Shimin's approach to employing people is nothing more than these points. He has a keen eye, is good at discovering talents, and dares to employ people. For example, he dares to employ people like Wei Zheng, dares to delegate power, and understands the advantages and disadvantages of these talents. Finally, people should make full use of their talents, add carrots and sticks, let these talents do their jobs, check and balance power, and prevent one family from becoming dominant and powerful officials."

"But it's easier said than done. How many people in the world can make the most of the above-mentioned employment skills like Li Shimin?"

"Successful leaders have always valued talents since ancient times. The reason why Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty Li Shimin was able to stabilize the country and be regarded as a saint was inseparable from the assistance of Prime Minister Wei Zheng. So when Wei Zheng died, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty commented on him Extremely high.”

"Liu Bei visited the thatched cottage three times to invite Zhuge Liang, Wolong came out of the mountain to rule the world, Zhang Liang assisted Liu Bang, etc., there are many stories."

"Facts have proven that only by reusing talented people can we make a difference. On the contrary, appointing people based on their merits can only lead to complacency."
