Chapter 31 Section 5 How to manage people's hearts

Wu Song was lucky enough to escape from the county seat, and once again embarked on a desperate life of absconding in fear of crime in the night.He didn't have time to tell the direction, he only knew to run forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow.After running around in such a panic for several days, I suddenly saw a temple in the forest in front of me.When I got closer, I saw a plaque on the temple, which was called Kaiyuan Temple.Wu Song was hungry, thought twice, and decided to take the risk to ask for some food. After eating a few steamed buns, Wu Song calmed down a lot.Then I asked the old monk in the temple what is this place?But it turned out to be Puyang in the Three Kingdoms period and Chanzhou in the Song Dynasty.Cao Cao and Lu Bu once fought here.Emperor Zhenzong also came here in his own driving and signed the famous "Chanyuan Alliance" with the Liao people.

"The Chanyuan alliance is the shame of the country." Wu Song said with a sigh. The old monk asked: "Why is the strong man sighing so much?" Wu Song replied: "Thinking back, the generals of the Yang family were so heroic! Yang Linggong and Yang Liulang are also called father and son heroes! And what about Emperor Zhenzong? Although he was a generation of kings, he was cowardly and incompetent. A yearly tribute of 100,000 taels and 200,000 bolts of silk, isn't it a loss of power and humiliation to the country?" The old monk smiled and said: "A strong man also has a heroic style, which is admirable! According to the old man, about the Chanyuan alliance, the strong man may only know one thing, but not the other, let alone the third, the fourth, and the fifth. The sixth is also."

It turns out that the Song and Liao wars lasted for more than 20 years.Although there were also generals of the Yang family who were loyal to the emperor and served the country, it was an endless tug-of-war after all.The inhabitants of the border between the two countries have thus suffered the scourge of war.What's more, every time the Great Song Dynasty went to war, it consumed tens of millions of taels of silver in military expenditure. The "Chanyuan Alliance" exchanged currency for peace, but they paid a mere one hundred thousand two-year-old coins, so it was a good deal no matter what.This is the second thing Wu Song doesn't know.

After the "Chanyuan Alliance", the battlefield became a special economic zone, and free trade between Song and Liao began.The Liao Kingdom in the north was poor in supplies, and what they had in abundance were nothing more than horses and sheep.The Song Dynasty was rich in supplies, with everything for food, clothing and daily necessities.As a result, the Liao Kingdom exported horses and sheep, and imported various commodities such as food, clothing and daily necessities.As a result, the Great Song Dynasty achieved a huge trade surplus from the very beginning, and the old coins contributed to the Liao Kingdom had been earned back by the end of the year, and there was still a considerable surplus.This is the third thing Wu Song doesn't know.

The Song Dynasty obtained many horses and foals from the Liao Kingdom through free trade.As a result, the cavalry advantage of the Liao Kingdom was completely lost, but the cavalry troops of the Great Song Dynasty received the best equipment, and the terrifying frontier troubles before were completely eliminated.Seeing that the situation was not good, Empress Dowager Xiao of the Liao Kingdom ordered a ban on selling horses. As a result, the huge trade deficit with the Song Dynasty was further increased.This is the fourth thing Wu Song doesn't know. The increasingly strong economic foundation of the Song Dynasty made its currency an international hard currency.As a result, the money of the Liao Kingdom became less and less valuable, while the currency of the Great Song Dynasty circulated everywhere.While the Liao Kingdom was enjoying the means of living they purchased, the Great Song Dynasty had actually mastered the financial power of the Liao Kingdom.There are five things Wu Song doesn't know.

Therefore, although the generals of the Yang family were heroes back then, there were constant wars at the border.Now that there is one, two, three, four, and five, the two countries can enjoy peace, and the Song Dynasty has since entered a prosperous period of cultural, economic, industrial and commercial development.There are six things that Wu Song doesn't know. Wu Song was dumbfounded.He was once fascinated by Ximen Qing's intelligence and ability, but he didn't expect that besides Ximen Qing, there is such a profound knowledge. "Old man," he asked full of admiration, "since you have such wisdom, why don't you create a great cause, but live in seclusion in the mountains and grow old silently?"

The old monk smiled and said, "A strong man doesn't know something. In the world, apart from economics, there is morality to talk about. Apart from utilitarianism, there is also xinxing to talk about. Apart from daily use, there is also cause and effect to talk about. The old monk is not a hermit, but a monk. Talking about the morality, nature, and cause and effect in the world, in order to encourage goodness and save people, is exactly the duty of this old monk.” Wu Song's admiration grew a little more.After thinking for a while, he continued to ask: "The younger generation has heard a lot about the morality, xinxing, and cause and effect you mentioned, but they don't know the truth. May I ask the old man, they say that people's hearts are hard to guard against, how can they understand the mysteries?"

The old monk replied: "The so-called human heart is nothing more than some thoughts. In the chaos, there are many good thoughts and many evil thoughts. One thought can be good, and one thought can be evil. The so-called human heart is hard to guard against. Evil ears!" Wu Song nodded deeply.He also asked: "No matter how we behave or do things, the difficulty is that the human heart is difficult to control. We can use various management techniques, but how can we control the human heart? For example, a greedy heart, a lustful heart, or a Angry heart?" The old monk said with a smile: "There is a temple in the world, which is a training institution for managing people's hearts. You ask how to manage people's hearts? You only need to pay attention to every thought. The Chanyuan Alliance is an example. The first thought is war, and the second thought is war." It is peace. If Nian Nian can do this, why worry about life and career not turning around?"

Wu Song woke up suddenly, thinking that the situation where he was guilty and absconded was the result of anger and evil thoughts.Why not live in a temple now?One can get rid of the crime, and the other can also learn from the old monk to cultivate the mind and nature, so as to grow the wisdom root of life. Therefore, Wu Song worshiped under the old monk's door as a disciple, and he was called the Five Precepts and the One Thought Walker.People in the rivers and lakes call it "Wu Song the Walker". Mr. Zuhua said: The material for this chapter is selected from the twenty-fifth chapter "Wang Po Ji Sips Ximen Qing, and the Whore Poisons Wu Dalang".With Wang Po's plan and Pan Niang's medicine, we can see the greed and danger of human nature.The difficulty of management lies in the greed and danger of human nature.

Modern management defines human as economic man.If all the people in the world are economic people, then the greed and danger of human nature are rational, and management will never find the real answer.In the past, he wrote about power and strategy, but there is a vague sense of mocking power and strategy in the description.He writes about eroticism, but there is a vague sense of mocking eroticism in the description.Today when I write about business, is it possible that there is a hint of ridicule in the description of modern management?This literary style of writing is not limited to the plot of the story, but also hides the extraordinary way in the plot.In my opinion, this extraordinary way is also the way of management that scholars are striving for.

Here I reinterpret the love between Ximen Qing and Pan Jinlian, and try to interpret it with a sense of the times and commercial features.In terms of plot, first write about Wu Song beating the tiger, and then write about Pan Jinlian, the beauty among the tigers;It should be noted that Ximen Qing's commercial rationality made him betray his love at a critical moment, and this is the despicability of businessmen and business. In fact, I have performed this theme once before in my book "The Economics of Love".What I want to say is: there is no love in economics, true love lies outside economics, and the mysteries of management also lie outside economics.
