Chapter 2255
I hope everything goes well
...
"If I had known this would happen, I should have taken more people with me. I wonder if there is still a chance now, why not give it a try?" Ju Shou turned his head and looked at Xu You, with a questioning tone in his voice, "Anyway, we are not short of money where we are now. At most, we can increase the salary and see if we can recruit some people. To be honest, the maids trained by the Lu family are all capable. Although they are not top-notch in some aspects, they can basically stand on their own in their respective areas of expertise..."
In this regard, he really didn't know much, because the person who actually rescued the people was not him, but Xu You.
Compared to him, Xu You has more experience and a higher success rate.
During this process, Ju Shou explained the excellence of these maids.
The most typical example is the medical staff, whose effects are the most obvious and the most satisfactory. After all, one can tell at a glance whether the patient is cured or not.
Even if these medical maids failed to cure two or three out of ten patients, Ju Shou did not think it was a big deal. Instead, he thought these people were quite capable.
After a long journey, being able to reduce the number of non-combat deaths to just a handful per day is already very impressive.
Death has always been something that can be accepted, especially in this era.
Ju Shou did not expect people like Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing to come to them, but those who could barely be recruited had to be recruited.
For the sake of development and the future, it is better to strike first and gain the advantage, and it is better to strike later and suffer the consequences. Wouldn’t it be better to dig it up in advance while the Lu family is not on guard?
It is obvious that the Lu family's reserves are full of abnormalities, but Ju Shou didn't think too much about it and decided to dig them out first. As for other things and subsequent wrangling, the Yuan family could take the lead and hold on for now.
The reputation of three generations of officials is quite big. At least it shouldn't be a big problem for them to handle the Lu family.
"I'm afraid you're overthinking it..." Upon hearing this thought, Xu You smiled bitterly on the spot, then looked at the people around him before explaining the reason.
After hearing this explanation, Ju Shou also retracted his previous thoughts and murmured, "I see, no wonder such talents can be easily poached. Are they prepared in advance? According to the progress of training, that is to say, when the other party entered Taishan, he had already conceived the future route?!"
Thinking back to the past moments, Ju Shou felt that he was under even greater pressure. It was obvious that the opponent was planning ten steps ahead with every move and would not play any tricks on you. Relying on their overwhelming strength, they could directly crush most people to death, without them even having a chance to resist.
After all, there is a step down, a brighter future, and a legitimate cause. How many people would hold on to so-called paranoia and stubbornness and go to their own death in ignorance?
"Yes, otherwise, do you think that the little girl from the Lu family is really capable of supporting such a huge reserve of manpower?" Xu You recalled Lu Yi whom he had seen in the court, and said seriously, "I don't deny that she is indeed very strong. At least in terms of calculation and taxation, I am not her opponent, but these aspects are useless in cultivating talents. In this case, she can still cultivate such a huge reserve of manpower. If she can really do it, how could we lose..."
If they can achieve this level by themselves, then wouldn't the accumulation of hundreds of years of experience of the Yuan family behind them, with four generations and three officials, become a joke?
You know, after hundreds of years of accumulation, the number of students and former officials spread all over the world, and talents from all walks of life are all there, which is just more comprehensive and with more people. But the route that the other party is obviously taking is not only about quantity, but also about the proficiency in the corresponding direction.
Even if there are some discrepancies, it can still show the other party's abilities.
"So, we can't poach people?" Ju Shou frowned, feeling a little regretful about this.
Although the help provided by the Yuan family was indeed very comprehensive, and it was because of this comprehensiveness that it was able to be rolled out smoothly, but when faced with a certain direction that required a large number of professional manpower, it was indeed a bit inadequate.
"Poaching people can only solve the problem temporarily. It's only a temporary solution. If we keep doing this, how can we not be controlled by others?" Xu You looked at Ju Yi, who was preparing the army again and leading the army to go further away, and said with some emotion, "What we want most is not those people, but how to train them. Being able to train so many people in such a short time is what we want most..."
"If you want this kind of thing, the price will probably be something you and I can't afford..." After hearing this, Ju Su thought about it for a moment and understood what Xu You wanted.
But it was precisely because he understood what Xu You wanted that Ju Shou felt it was impossible.
This method and means of training are considered a secret even in the hands of top families.
This method can be mass-produced and produce talents of the same type. This advantage alone can allow certain families to stand firm.
The reason why aristocratic families are called aristocratic families is because this knowledge has built a ladder to heaven that ordinary people cannot reach.
As for snooping into other people's family knowledge, which is like the foundation of the family, not to mention being rejected, the fact that it did not become a life-and-death feud was all due to the other party's kindness and the fact that they were strong enough.
When both sides are helpless against the other, then reason can be discussed.
It is obvious that they are not in the right in this regard, so if it is really put on the table, they will not gain any advantage. The best outcome is not to put it on the table.
"Yes, so I just mentioned this matter to my lord, and I didn't ask too much about other things. Well, instead of thinking about such things, it is better to collect more information about the Roman Empire and the Parthian Empire to see if there is any advantage, and implement Sima Zhongda's plan by the way..." Xu You explained normally as usual.
"And you need to learn about Ishtar, the goddess of victory of the Parthian Empire, right?" Ju Su, who was used to working together, also knew what Xu You was going to say next, so he said it in advance, which could be regarded as taking on a job for himself.
In terms of hard work, both Xu You and Ju Shou worked very hard.
"I hope everything goes well..." After explaining the matter, Xu You looked at the army advancing in the snow and gradually disappearing in the falling snow. He shook his head gently, looked at the foundation stone of the city wall that was gradually standing up behind him, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth... (End of this chapter)
