Chapter 101 Chapter 101 Basic Principles of "Tinkering"

There was a family whose cooking pot leaked, so they invited a tinker.After the tinker arrived, he began to shovel the soot from the bottom of the pot with an iron sheet. While shoveling, he told the master: "Please light the fire, and let me burn some tin to fill up the leak." So the master turned and went ignition.Taking advantage of the time when the master turned his back to him, the tinker picked up the hammer and tapped the bottom of the pot a few times, and the leak marks on the bottom of the pot suddenly increased a lot. When the master lit the fire and came back, the tinker leaned over the bottom of the pot to show the master: "Look clearly, you can see clearly. The cracks in your pot are too big. They were covered by the grease at the bottom. See No, now I shovel off the soot, and all the cracks are exposed. You need to repair a few more nails for this pot."

The owner of the house looked at it and said in surprise: "It's really good. I didn't expect this crack to be so big. Fortunately, I invited you here today. Otherwise, this pot will be completely unusable." So the tinker worked hard and finally repaired the crack at the bottom of the pot. He charged a large sum of money from the owner and won his gratitude. In ancient times, there was a book called "Huhai News Yijian Continued Chronicles", which mentioned a story, which is similar to the story of the tinker. This story tells that a scholar named Wang Ju'an suffered from hemorrhoids and was in extreme pain. He went to the doctor in a hurry and asked around for a doctor who could relieve his pain.Finally, I heard that there was a famous doctor in Xiaoshan who specialized in treating hemorrhoids, and the medicine cured the disease, so Wang Xiucai hurried to Xiaoshan by boat to see the doctor.After seeing his condition, the doctor quickly prepared the medicine for him, saying: "Five days, as long as five days, you will never suffer from hemorrhoids again."

The doctor first used a kind of medicine to protrude Wang Xiucai's large intestine a few inches, and then used another kind of medicine to wash it slowly. It became a lump the size of a peach.At this time the doctor said: "By the way, you see we only care about the treatment and forgot to talk about the remuneration. You see your disease, how much money is appropriate to pay?" At this time, Wang Xiucai's large intestine was hanging in the doctor's hand. He really wanted to cry but had no tears, so he had to beg: "Okay, okay, okay, as much money as you want, as long as I am cured." The doctor offered a frighteningly high price, and only then did Wang Xiucai realize that he had been duped.But at this time, there was no other way, but he could only grit his teeth and confess, agreed to the doctor's extortion, and gave all his money to the doctor, so that the disease was cured.

Both the tinkerer and the doctor who treated Wang Xiucai took advantage of other people's blindness and ignorance to create opportunities for themselves. Anyone who uses the tinkering method needs at least five processes: First, there must be a pot.This pot is what the officials are best at. It is not the professional field that they are good at. They must not touch it. Once they touch it, they cannot get out of it. Second, quietly enlarge the crack in the bottom of the pot.This means that if you make up your mind to win a vote in this matter, you should shout loudly and describe the matter as extremely horrible, very scary, extremely dangerous, and really scary.This is also a crucial point. Without this step, no matter how well you fix the pot, it will be useless.

Third, open the bid code.Because you have exaggerated the danger of the situation as much as possible, and the other party is already out of his wits with horror, so this is the best time to make an offer. If you miss this opportunity, all your previous thoughts will be in vain. Fourth: mend the pot.Solemn and solemn, solemn and solemn, get things done in a grand and solemn manner. Fifth, strengthen further publicity and expand the influence of things.This step is also very critical. The first four steps cannot be regarded as complete political achievements.Political achievements that are not known to others cannot be called political achievements, so you must yell so that everyone knows it, and yell to the point where your boss is proud of you and makes you proud. Only then will your political achievements really be reflected.

Five simple steps, done well, things will be successful.Throughout the ages, the most successful in this matter is Liu Bei in the Three Kingdoms era. In the novel, we saw that when Cao Cao’s iron cavalry approached Jingxiang, Uncle Liu Huang, the Buddha of the Wan family, abandoned his wife and children and took the people of Jingxiang to flee. This scene moved us deeply by Uncle Liu Huang’s benevolence.However, the scene we saw was actually nothing more than Liu Bei's large-scale "fixing the pot". When we shed tears for Liu Huangshu's righteous deeds, it was the time when Liu Huangshu made the pot.

Is there any evidence for this evaluation of the kind-hearted Uncle Liu Huang? There is evidence, there is such a record in the book "Three Kingdoms": According to Liu Biao, he was worried that the number of soldiers was not enough to treat Duke Cao. Zhuge Liang came in and said: "Jingzhou is not a small population, but there are few people who have registered. If you live in tune, the people's hearts will be unhappy. You can speak of Liu Jingzhou, so that anyone who has a wanderer , all make it self-real, because it can be recorded to benefit the public." Prepare to follow the plan, and the crowd will be strong.

This record says that when Uncle Liu Huang took refuge in Liu Jingzhou and Liu Biao, he asked Zhuge Liang for advice because he was worried that Cao Cao would come after him and Jingzhou was short of soldiers and horses.Zhuge Liang told him: The situation in Jingzhou is like this. There are not many permanent residents and a lot of floating population. Now as long as the floating population is managed and all of them are organized into military camps, is your Uncle Liu worried about having no soldiers? According to the official history, Liu Bei was overjoyed and immediately incorporated all the floating population in Jingzhou into the military camp. As a result, when Cao Cao's cavalry arrived suddenly, these strong men who were forced to join the army dispersed.If they disperse, they will disperse, but it is like a chaotic army, fleeing for their lives all over the world, so there is a legend that Uncle Liu Huang fled together with the people of Jingzhou.But since Uncle Liu Huang wants to make up for the cauldron of the emperor's hegemony, the five procedures must be indispensable.

In the first step, Uncle Liu is a person who is well versed in the emperor's tactics. This pot is indispensable. Without this pot, there would be no touching heroic deeds of Uncle Liu. In the second step, since Uncle Liu Huang has made up his mind to involve the people of Jingzhou in the war, the propaganda work beforehand is essential. If you don't follow Uncle Liu to fight against the disorderly people in the world, you will have to be busy with many things. The third step, after the propaganda work is completed, the people of Jingzhou are convinced that they are in danger of being killed by Cao Cao—if you don’t believe this, Uncle Liu Huang will never be polite to you, if you don’t believe me, just wait and see—then things will be easy, this step It is to organize the people into an army, lead them to train, run, do chores for Uncle Liu Huang, and fight against Cao Cao's invasion at any time.

The fourth step is to set a price. This price is the wealth and life of the common people. In other words, now is the time for the common people to fight Cao Cao's battle cavalry.If you win the fight, it is Liu Bei who wins, and there is nothing wrong with the common people.If you lose, I don't believe you ordinary people can outrun Uncle Liu Huang.This is indeed the case. The common people fled desperately, but in the end they failed to outrun Uncle Liu Huang. The fifth step is publicity. The content of the publicity is based on the original version, not the real history book "Three Kingdoms".What the common people like is, what they like is Uncle Liu Huang who serves the common people wholeheartedly.At this point in the art of political attack, Uncle Liu Huang's troubles in the world have been successfully repaired.

So we saw Uncle Liu Huang separatist in Sichuan and Shu, saying that he was lonely and widowed, and this was the profit he made by making up for the pot.
