The sage said: A gentleman takes advantage of his talent and thinks it is good, and a villain takes his talent and thinks it is evil. In other words, personal virtue is more important than talent. Therefore, when employing subordinates, it is best to choose people with both ability and political integrity, followed by others.

Virtue is better than talent, no matter how bad it is, talent is better than virtue.

The three people in front of Zhao Bing who claimed to be the master were definitely villains in the eyes of some people, even people who deserved to be killed. Zhao Mengjin's army was defeated and he abandoned the city, causing the city to be breached and the general to die in battle. This was a serious dereliction of duty.

And Zheng Huchen disobeyed the imperial edict and killed Jia Sidao in revenge, which was even more unforgivable. The businessmen were even more unbearable. They cared about everything, fought for every penny, profited from speculation, and earned black money. They were untouchables, how could they be easily accepted into the government?

, given important responsibilities.

But Zhao Bing doesn’t entirely think so. From the perspective of a later generation like him, these ‘crimes’ are not all faults...

Zhao Mengjin knew that the enemy was powerful and still led his troops out of the city to harass the enemy. This was with the intention of death. And he did try his best. At the "last" moment when he was surrounded by the enemy, he still fought hard until he was plotted by the enemy and fell into the water.

He was lucky enough not to die, so he was clearly a living hero; moreover, he did not escape, and tried to return to the city, but Zhenzhou had long been surrounded by water, so how could he get in, but it seemed to those 'gentlemen' that he had no contact with the city.

To live or die together is to lose integrity and lose moral integrity.

Zheng Huchen violated the order and killed Jia Sidao. It doesn't matter how the government and the public will evaluate him now, nor whether he should be killed. However, Zhao Bing knows that future generations will praise him. And he also knows some of the secrets behind it, and the murder was not his own fault.

He advocated that he secretly acted on the orders of King Zhao Yurui of Fu. However, when Zheng Huchen was held accountable by the court, he did not excuse himself by acting on orders. Even today, he did not reveal a word to him, and he shouldered the mission of "revenge for public affairs" alone.

Being the scapegoat shows that he is a man of loyalty and commitment.

Zhao Bing had never heard of Zhuang Shilin in his previous life. Even now, it is estimated that no one except the circle knows such a person. It can be said that he is just an unknown small businessman, and he is looked down upon only because of the industry he is engaged in.

In Zhao Bing's opinion, there is nothing wrong with businessmen focusing on profits. Their speculation shows that they are discerning, and their preoccupation is a sign of their professionalism. As long as they are not cheating, it is their ability to make money, and it has nothing to do with being unethical.?

As for Zhao Bing accepting their submission, in addition to seeing things from a different perspective and evaluation criteria than at this time, another reason is that he is really short of people! Not to mention that there are no major problems with the three people now, there are just some minor problems.

You have to keep it, Mao Zedong once said, "We must unite all those who can be united." The extraordinary period also forced him to give up his original employment standards!

Zhao Bing knew that he was alone at the moment, and was unable to move due to his status. Only by uniting as much as possible with all the people who could be united could he gradually expand his network base, whether it was future wars or possible political conflicts.

Struggle, to a certain extent, is the factor that determines victory or defeat. There are people whose conditions are not high, who just want to find a shelter, and they are given such a huge gift. If I fail to live up to this 'good intention',

I'm afraid they will still feel uneasy, thinking that they refuse to be loyal...

'Duh duh...' Suddenly there were several knocking sounds on the cabin board, and Zhao Bing's expression turned stern. He was worried that the partition wall had ears and someone heard their conversation. Before he could tell him, Ni Liang, who just looked like a stone man, had already raised his head.

The knife flew out from his hand.

"Strong men, don't worry, we are one of our own!" Zheng Huchen said as he stretched out his hand to pull Ni Liang. He used his strength in desperation, but he easily broke away, and Ni Liang put the knife on his shoulder with his backhand.

"Your Highness..." With the knife on his neck, Zheng Huchen did not dare to move and looked at Zhao Bing, but he was extremely shocked in his heart. After all, he was also a martial arts scholar and had fought with the enemy on the border. Although he was a little older now, he could

He was restrained without even one move from this young man.

"Ni Liang!" Zhao Bing shouted and waved his hand for him to retreat. Ni Liang then put away his knife and retreated in front of His Highness, but his eyes were not far away from several people.

"My lord, my subordinates arranged for people to be out in the open, in case someone breaks in by mistake and fails to report to the lord for punishment!" Zheng Huchen did not dare to move anymore. He gave a salute on the spot and quickly apologized.? Biqu? Ge ?

"Well, if you are careful, there is no big mistake. What's the crime?" Zhao Bingxu helped him and said, thinking that they must be afraid that someone would reveal their good deeds, so they arranged for close followers to monitor them. However, it seems that Zheng Huchen is also a cautious person.

people.

"My lord, Mr. Liu has boarded the ship, these things are still..." Zhuang Shilin secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that His Highness was angry about this, and reminded him in a low voice.

"Take it!" Zhao Bing understood what he meant and nodded to Ni Lidang, "From now on, you can address each other as your highness in front of others, and the lord can address each other in the inner palace."

"Yes, my lord!" The three people looked at each other and saluted hurriedly. They also understood what His Highness meant.

"Oh, what a good man!" Zhao Mengjin suddenly praised. The belongings they sent were all packed in several wooden boxes more than two feet square. Each weight was heavy, and they were all carried outside the cabin by his confidants.

, and then dragged it in by himself. But Ni Liang picked one up with one arm without difficulty and could still walk quickly. This requires at least several hundred kilograms of strength to do it.

"Even if he has great strength, he can kill countless enemies and carry me on his back for hundreds of miles to escape danger." Zhao Bing said with a chuckle.

"Master Ni Zhuang is really the reborn dragon. With such a warrior following His Highness, why should you be afraid of Xiao Xiao!" Zhao Mengjin said with emotion, and in his heart he felt that His Highness was extraordinary. Otherwise, how could he have such a warrior accompanying him to protect him? This is simply sent from God.

Dharma Protector Vajra...

"Oh, why are you here?" Liu Fu saw the three of them as soon as he entered the cabin and said with some surprise. Zhao Mengjin and others also came forward to greet them but did not say a word.

"Master Liu, I have summoned you." Zhao Bing took the words. Liu Fu's attitude was not clear now. He did not want him to know about the congeniality between the three of them, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble. "Now we are with the imperial brigade.

They are separated, and the enemy bandits are lingering around. This is not a place to stay for a long time. I would like to ask them if they have any ideas to leave safely."

"That's fine!" Liu Fu glanced at the three of them. Since His Highness summoned them and he didn't find any wrongdoing on their part, he naturally couldn't say anything more. He thought that the three of them were complaining to His Highness because they thought the rewards were too small.

"Has the matter been settled?" Zhao Bing asked again.

"Your Highness, all the property obtained will be distributed according to the merits. Your Highness will decide what to do with the remaining items." Liu Fu bowed and replied.

"Well, thank you for your hard work, Mr. Liu!" Zhao Bing nodded, "Sir, you have just recovered from a serious illness, and you still need to rely on me for important matters. Zhuang Gang has been in business for many years, so he must be able to manage money, so how about letting him take care of it temporarily?"

"That's fine, just follow His Highness's arrangements." Liu Fu replied casually. He was also a dignified political adviser, equivalent to the deputy prime minister. If it hadn't been for this time, he would not have rewarded these boatmen, soldiers and civilians in person, let alone

Not to mention these trivial matters of daily necessities, but what he was more concerned about was what these three people had done to gain His Highness's trust so quickly.

"Thank you, Your Highness, Mr. Liu. The common people will do their best to live up to their trust." Compared with Liu Fu's impatience, Zhuang Shilin was a little excited and bowed deeply. In his opinion, managing the money and food on the ship was not something he could do.

For a small matter, this is equivalent to being a housekeeper for the prince. Zhao Mengjin and Zheng Huchen on the side also smiled knowingly, thinking that things were just as they expected. Liu Fu was already His Highness's man, otherwise he would not have agreed to His Highness's proposal so happily.

"No need to be polite!" Zhao Bing raised his hand and said, "Mr. Liu, we are now separated from the fleet. We don't know when we will be able to rendezvous. And the enemy fleet is nearby and we may encounter it at any time. Zhao Dazeng led the troops in the Huaixi Army, and he is not as good as

Let him be in the center to dispatch and command; Zheng Hu also served in the border army. Although he later became an official, he is familiar with military affairs. Would it be good for him to assist Zhao Da?"

"This..." Liu Fu frowned and did not agree immediately. The origins of these two people are unknown. It is difficult to judge that they have no different intentions based on their performance in this crisis. Taking over the fleet's weapons is not as important as money and food. Now the enemy is strong

On the other hand, if they betrayed His Highness to the Mongols in order to save his life and wealth, then he would be damned, so he was still hesitant.

"Master Liu, Zhao Da and Zheng Hu can work thousands of miles for the king, which shows their loyalty. Now is the time to employ people, so why bother to stick to small details!" Zhao Bing knew what Liu Fu was worried about, but he couldn't say it now.

The true identities of several people can only show their unquestioning attitude towards Zhao and Da.

"It's exactly what His Highness said. There are Raul and others. After I escape from danger, I will report my merits to the court and be rewarded." Liu Fu thought about it. There were a group of half-dead patients on their ship, and they were only protected by a group of forbidden troops.

, the combat power is extremely limited, and he can only rely on these people from various ministries. What makes him strange is that His Highness should not do such a hasty thing based on his previous performance, but he just trusted them.

"It is our duty to protect His Highness, and we will definitely live up to His Majesty's expectations. Even if we are shattered to pieces, we will protect His Highness!" Zhao Mengjin bowed and saluted, but in his heart he was very angry with Liu Fu. What he was saying was not right.

They are worried, and they are not as good as His Highness at such a young age.

"In this case, Zhuangshi Zhao will lead a group of soldiers to take the lead boat to clear the way and inspect the enemy's situation; Zhuangzheng Zheng will lead a group of soldiers to take the rear boat to cover the fleet; Zhuang Gang will manage the same boat with us, distribute money and food, and leave it to Zhou

The command takes center stage." Liu Fu muttered for a moment.

"Do you think Mr. Liu's arrangement is appropriate?" Zhao Bing secretly laughed in his heart that this old man was really cautious. He separated the three people first to make it difficult for them to collude. At the same time, he kept Zhuang Shilin, who was familiar with the sea conditions and routes, on his ship, even if there were other

The rebellion of the two would not lead to the ship getting lost, but it was hard to say. Moreover, most of the food was on the main ship, and he would not be able to survive without them. He just overestimated the combat effectiveness of Zhou Xiang's group of craftsmen.

"There is nothing wrong with Mr. Liu's arrangement. We will obey!" Everyone can see that this is Liu Fu's plan to differentiate. It is clearly a naked jealousy and he wants to win favor in front of His Highness. Zhao Mengjin was about to open his mouth to argue, but was stopped by Zheng Huchen.
