Chapter 31 Chapter 31

Young people who have just entered the officialdom are often ambitious, full of pride, have no eyes, and regard their competitors as nothing.Theoretically speaking, all young people will eventually achieve success in life, because they are young, have a future, and have youth, wisdom and professional ability.All of these are capitals that young people are proud of. However, is it the young people who change the reality, or does the reality make the young people bruise?What determines the final result is not the subjective wishes of young people, but the cruel game rules of human society. Young people must remember this one thing: Those old guys who are old-fashioned, weak, conservative, and not enterprising, they were once young, and they were as ambitious and confident as the young people now. In one year, it will be three thousand miles when the water hits.However, the years have worn down their fighting spirit, and finally these people have no choice but to accept their own fate of failure. Since then, they have regarded themselves as a mountain ridge in front of young people, and have become a stubborn force that annoys young people.

Go into the mountains to ask the woodcutter, go to the sea to ask the fisherman.If young people really want to be successful, they must not only believe in their own wisdom, but also learn from the successful ones. More importantly, they must know how the previous losers failed. . Only by knowing how the older generation failed, can young people avoid the risks and traps of officialdom and take control of their own lives. The most hidden force that dominates officialdom is the game rules of human society, and the game rules of human society are determined by complex human nature. So what are the characteristics of human nature?

Specific to the human nature of a single person, there are some simple laws, but the laws of human nature formed by a group are much more complicated.Because the laws of human nature of groups are hidden in the fierce social turmoil, they are far less easy to observe than the laws of individual human nature. The laws of human nature of individuals in the officialdom can be simply summed up as desires and fears.As mentioned earlier, the workplace and officialdom are places where people seek fame and fortune. The eager desire for fame and fortune dominates people's behavior, while the worry about failure restricts people's behavior. The management system in the officialdom and workplace.There are only two management methods in the officialdom and workplace—reward and punishment.The former is aimed at rationality that restrains desires, while the latter is aimed at arousing people's fear.

But when many desires and fears converge, whether in the workplace or in the officialdom, the performance of the group's humanity presents a strange image. The first law of official groups is blindness.It is manifested that the officialdom is driven by fame and fortune, and the gaffe behavior in the state of mental confusion is not the irrationality of the officialdom, but the drive of desire and the pressure of competition, which leads to the blurred judgment of the officialdom. In the Song Dynasty, there was a scholar in Zhengzhou who wanted to be promoted to the point of being dizzy.One day, he overheard a fellow countryman reciting Tao Yuanming's "Return to the Home". When the fellow countryman read the line "Linqingliu composes poems", the Taishi rushed out of the door impatiently and grabbed him. The fellow countryman begged: "Where are you going to meet Deputy Envoy Liu of Linqing, can you introduce me?" The fellow countryman couldn't laugh or cry, and hurriedly explained: "Just now I said that Linqingliu wrote poems, and it was Tao Yuanming's confession. A good sentence about my ambition to retreat is not Linqing Liu Fushi..." After hearing this, the Tai Xueshi said sadly: "Forget it, forget it, I don't blame you if you are not willing to introduce me, after all, this promotion will make you rich If you have my chance, you will lose it, but I want to remind you, since Deputy Shi Liu of Linqing has retired, it is useless for you to curry favor with him!"

It's not just this scholar who wants to be promoted and loses his head. The officialdom is originally a haunt of this kind of people.In order to curry favor with the rich and powerful, many people racked their brains and came up with ingenuity, but they made countless jokes. The son of Wang Anshi, a famous minister in the Northern Song Dynasty, died at a young age. Before Wang Anshi could be sad, a man named Zhang Anguo was already crying. The only son, fortunately your wife is pregnant again now, I only hope that I will die soon and be born in your wife's womb to be your son..." Let this man mess around, Wang Anshi even cried for his son I lost my mind.

The characteristics of the officialdom group are like this, because the moral laws in the officialdom are completely different from what the common people imagine, so in this special field, the things taught in the books in the school are all useless, and only careful study Only by this strange human nature can we understand the trend of the officialdom. The second rule of the officialdom group is negativity, which is manifested in the fact that the upward path in the officialdom is too narrow. One person's promotion means that the future path of more people is blocked, so the officialdom is generally permeated with a kind of negativity and decadence. This smell, in turn, formed a unique cultural phenomenon in officialdom.

There are all kinds of people in the officialdom, and there are all kinds of strange things, but just like the fixed characteristics of any group, the psychological preference of the group has the characteristics of a downward slope. In the old officialdom, the first was that there were many alcoholics, the second was that there were many gambling, and the third was that there were many liars.Alcohol and gambling are fine, after all, these two are indispensable ways of official friendship.However, there are so many liars in the officialdom, which is a bit unexpected. In the Qing Dynasty, there was Tang Ruoying, an official of the household department, who was fond of wine first and gambling second. If he was involved in these two things that cost money, his financial expenditure would inevitably be embarrassing.So this Tang Ruoying simply gritted his teeth and borrowed heavily. He owed more and more money to others, and there was no hope of repaying it. At this time, Tang Ruoying thought about it. Open your door and go to other places to be an official.

But I don't want to think that all the creditors are staring at him as a debtor. As soon as the news from Tang Ruoying's side came out, groups of creditors had already come to the door, and the Tang family was completely surrounded.Seeing this situation, Tang Ruoying rolled his eyes and thought about it.He first made a big cage in the house, got into it himself, sealed the outside of the cage with floral paper, and asked his family to carry it out, claiming that it was something sent to the court.When he got to a secluded place, he tore through the cage and got out, got into the carriage and left the capital, and went to work as an official in other places.

Let's think for the people under Tang Ruoying's rule. Those people look forward to the stars and the moon, and they hope for an honest and honest official. But will this Tang Ruoying, who is too thick and dark, be the candidate that the people expect? In addition to the blindness and passivity in officialdom, officialdom also has its own unique ecosystem.
