Chapter 596 Liu Muzhi is a talent(1/2)
"Liu Muzhi is a talented person next to Ji Nu!" Wang Mi admired and agreed with He Wuji's idea. Although Liu Yu was not bad at doing things, he was able to settle all the soldiers who had many opinions. Among them,
Liu Muzhi would definitely be involved in this.
"Zhiyuan has never seen this person, so how can we conclude that he must be a talent?" He Wuji waved his little fan, and although the words he spoke sounded a bit yin and yang, he was thinking in his heart.
He is a talented person, and he should be roped in early.
Wang Mi smiled easily and said, "Do you need to see this with your own eyes?"
"If you don't have the ability, why would the slave take out the matter of recruiting this person and write it in a letter?"
He Wuji was stunned by his question and couldn't answer the question for a long time.
There was a saying in history that if Liu Muzhi had not died early, Liu Yu might have been able to dominate the world. It can be seen that Liu Yu relied on Liu Muzhi in terms of daily management.
According to historical records, Liu Muzhi and Liu Yu met through someone's recommendation. Although they were both from Jingkou, they had not known each other before.
At this point in time, Liu Yu was already ruling the roost in Beifu. As long as Liu Yu went to the front to fight, Liu Muzhi would stay behind and help him handle various daily affairs in Jingkou and Jiankang City, with a status equivalent to that of a prime minister.
Liu Yu was not a man who kept his good talents hidden. Except for those remnants of the Sima family who prevented him from ascending the throne and becoming emperor, he did not kill the ministers who had joined him.
It is conceivable that if Liu Muzhi was still alive and Liu Yu became emperor, he would definitely be given high officials and generous salaries, and he would also be given great power.
However, what was before Wang Mi now was another situation.
Liu Yu actually met Liu Muzhi first!
This situation is interesting!
Historically, Liu Muzhi was already in his forties when he met Liu Yu. To be honest, in ancient times when there was a shortage of medical treatment and medicine, this was considered an advanced age.
The two people who met at this time were able to achieve such a magnificent undertaking by working together. It is hard to imagine what kind of energy they will burst out when they are only twenty years old now!
Very good!
These talents will be the key people for Wang Mi to organize the bureau in the future. The only drawback is that because he and Liu Yu are from the same hometown, and because Wang Mi has returned to Jiankang, Liu Yu himself became acquainted with this expert in administrative affairs.
of.
To the extent that they are from the same hometown, these two people will definitely be closer in the future.
There is nothing that can be done about this. Liu Yu is so talented and there will always be some people around him. These matters will have to be dealt with later when he and Liu Yu are wrestling with each other.
The so-called fighting between the same roommates also takes many forms. The worst kind is, of course, chaos within a country and constant conquests.
Just like those small imperial courts in the Southern Dynasties, not to mention the last years, even when they were just rising, they were bound to have constant disputes.
This is what Wang Mi wants to avoid. He knows very well that when Liu Yu becomes more mature, Liu Yu's ambition will no longer be controlled by him.
A fight may be inevitable, but Wang Mi can work hard to change the form of this fight.
For example, transform into the model of Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng.
Although Li Shimin killed his brother, he treated the staff in the prince's palace well and used them as his own.
Wouldn't that be great?
I just don’t know whether the die-hard members of the Sima family or the generals who plan to follow Liu Yu will be so stubborn in the near future.
Military power!
We still have to get the military power!
Rather than trusting others, Wang Mi decided to hold this power in his arms.
Firstly, he is still young and has the ability to personally lead an army. Secondly, he is most assured of something only when he holds it in his own hands.
It can also avoid the emergence of mediocre people who are holding back important tasks.
Why did Li Shimin succeed in overthrowing Li Jiancheng?
Not only did he have the help of those capable ministers, he also had a group of generals who were good at conquering and fighting, who were only loyal to him!
Although Li Jiancheng was the eldest son, he had an absolute advantage in the feudal legal system. Wei Zheng was also his staff, and the ministers in the court, such as Xiao Yu, who followed Li Yuan, would definitely support him.
However, he failed to take the first step to remove Li Shimin. It was not because Li Jiancheng was soft-hearted and took action too late.
It's because Li Shimin's great authority is established there. Even if Li Jiancheng wants to move him, he can't!
The capable civil servants standing in the imperial court are his people, and the generals galloping around on the battlefield are also his people.
Not to mention that he argued hard in the court, it is said that once the army led by Li Shimin came out, there was no need to open up a strong posture to force the palace, and Li Jiancheng would not have a way out.
It can be seen that, comparatively speaking, controlling military power is more important.
And this controller must be the person who intends to be the emperor, such as Li Shimin, who was born in a noble family, or Liu Yu, the reckless hero.
For Wang Mi, this road seems to be even more difficult.
In the Jin Dynasty, children of aristocratic families were proud to stay away from military camps. Although Wang Mi could ignore it, this system was also an innate obstacle.
This made it difficult for Wang Mi, a son of a noble family, to really get in touch with the army. This was one of the reasons why Wang Gong in history raised an army to attack Wang Guobao, but suffered a disastrous defeat.
Wang Gong did have a few die-hard generals surrounding him, but the abilities of these people had not experienced much practical testing.
In addition, their loyalty can still be discussed. Once his accomplices betray him, Wang Gong will definitely end up with his head missing.
Therefore, Wang Mi must maintain contact with the army.
This time, he had a good start and personally led the Beifu soldiers to victory in the Xiangyang battle. The government and the public, as well as the generals and soldiers at all levels of the Beifu soldiers, would know that the seemingly weak Wang Zhiyuan and Wang Shilang in the court were actually
Strong general!
In the future, if major events change, no one in Beifu will question Wang Mi's combat capabilities, and his prestige has been established!
"Wuji, Liu Muzhi is very capable. I think we should find a chance to meet him."
For Wang Mi, the most proud thing now is that He Wuji, Liu Yu's best friend in history, was won over by him and became a member of the imperial court.
Winning those who were loyal to Liu Yu in history to his side as much as possible is Wang Mi's short-term plan, and it is also the simplest.
"Want to see Liu Muzhi?"
He Wuji was not against it, but it was not easy to do.
"He is now in Beifu. He is just a clerk and has not made any achievements. What reason can we use to recruit him to Jiankang City?"
He Wuji frowned, a little surprised by Wang Mi's sudden thoughts.
It was just a book clerk that Liu Yu had his eye on, so how could he be able to receive him in person under the auspices of Wang Shilang?
"You're right."
What He Wuji said did make sense. Wang Mi had to put away his strange idea first. His doubts were cleared, but He Wuji's curiosity was aroused by him.
He shook his feather fan and said with a smile: "Zhiyuan, what is so magical about Liu Muzhi that he deserves to be summoned by you personally?"
After getting along with each other for a while, He Wuji already had a clear understanding of the many strange ideas in Wang Mi's mind.
Therefore, before Wang Mi showed anything surprising, He Wuji had already concluded that his idea definitely did not come out of thin air.
"This person is of great use, but I haven't seen him in person yet, so I can't tell him directly yet. Wuji, don't be impatient. When the time comes, I will definitely tell you frankly."
You can do mystery, but I can’t?
Don't forget to say that he really didn't have a plan on how to arrange capable officials like Liu Muzhi. Even if he had a plan, he couldn't satisfy He Wuji in everything.
"Zhiyuan, how is the development of your pistol going?"
He Wuji was busy working in He's house these days, and He Wuji didn't take time to check out the workshop.
The main reason is that someone has forgotten his loyalty and now travels every day. He only takes Shen Suanzi with him and has long forgotten his good brother.
He Wuji couldn't guess when Wang Mi would go to Jiang's workshop. Since they couldn't go together at the same time, he was too lazy to leave.
"There's still one last step left."
Wang Mi was very confident. He took out an object from his sleeve. He Wuji took a look and his eyes immediately lit up.
"Ouch!"
"This thing is so exquisite!"
What He Wuji said was true. When he held the pistol in his hand, Wang Mi also felt a sense of pride welling up.
Although he didn't make it himself, from conception to sketching, he did it all by himself. Indirectly, he takes the first place in the credit!
"Zhiyuan, can such a small thing really be able to go into battle and kill the enemy?"
He Wuji snatched the pistol and played with it in his hand.
This is not Wang Mi's boast, this pistol is indeed made of high quality, the barrel is black and shiny, and the wooden handle fits smoothly in the hand, which fully reflects the exquisite skills of Master Wei and Master Yan.
In addition to these large components, Wang Mi also did not miss some small components, such as the lead made by General Puchao and the small fire door, which have been properly placed in various parts of the pistol.
.
He Wuji was full of curiosity about new things, so he opened the door and took a look into the barrel of the gun. Wang Mi's heart immediately rose to his throat, which was completely a reflex action.
Fortunately, at this time, his gunpowder had not been successfully developed, otherwise, He Wuji's ignorant and careless move might have caused a catastrophe!
"Of course!"
"Extremely lethal!"
