Chapter 33 Chapter 1 No milk is not a mother, rich is a father

"If you have money, you can pass through the gods. This is not bad!" Five taels of silver changed Lin Chong's world! Lin Chong won the head coach Hong at Chai Jinzhuang, and he also won the twenty-five taels of silver. Before leaving, Chai Jin gave him another twenty-five taels of silver, and wrote two letters, parting ways. Give Chai Jin the management and dispatch of the prison camp, who has a deep friendship with Chai Jin, and ask them to take care of Lin Chong. With the money and the close relationship that Chai Jin claimed, Lin Chong thought that he would be safe in prison camp.Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the prison camp, the other prisoners in the prison camp told Lin Chong that the manager of the camp and the dispatcher only recognized money, and he was a very harmful person who specialized in defrauding people of money and goods.Just as Lin Chong was talking to the prisoners, the messenger came over.

As soon as the messenger came, he asked, "Which one is the new garrison?" Lin Chong quickly agreed, "That's the villain." The messenger immediately changed his face when he didn't see him handing out the money, and pointed at Lin Chong and cursed: "You thief army! See how I don't bow down, but come to sing! You guys know that you are doing things in Tokyo! Seeing me is still a stab! I see that this thief army has hungry lines all over his face. You can’t even make a fortune! A stubborn prisoner who can’t be beaten to death or tortured to death! You have fallen into my hands! I’ll teach you to smash your bones to pieces! You’ll see the effect if you call for a while!” Lin Chong scolded Lin Chong like “a Buddha was born " There dared to look up and answer.Everyone scolded and dispersed.

This paragraph of scolding is scolding Lin Chong: 1. Thieves—doing things in Tokyo. 2. Cheap - starvation lines all over his face, and he will never make a fortune in his life. 3. Stubbornness - can't be beaten to death, tortured can't be killed. 4. Arrogance - not bowing down, slashing stabbingly. 5. Identity - with the army, prisoner. The last is intimidation: teach you to smash your bones to pieces! In fact, we know that Lin Chong was not unwilling to pay the money, he was not only willing to pay, he took the initiative to pay, and he also inquired about the approximate price, but he just hadn't had time to show it.This job did not give Lin Chong time to get the money, he was so impatient, he wished that someone would wait for him there with money in both hands, and pay the money directly without saying a word when they met!

In fact, why didn't he know that even if Lin Chong didn't send money for a while, how dare he not give it?In this case, why was he so violent and scolded Lin Chong? Such people often have some psychological problems.Obviously, this messenger has the following psychological problems: 1. Persecution maniac.His was darker, with symptoms of a persecution maniac.Cursing is just one of the ways he persecutes others and vents his inner darkness. Two, obsessive-compulsive disorder, anxiety disorder.He wants money the first time he sees it.If he didn't see it for the first time, he would be impatient. This kind of person not only has moral greed for money, but also has symptoms of psychological anxiety or obsessive-compulsive disorder.

3. A swearing can not only establish prestige, but also intimidate the other party, so that the other party not only quickly pays out the money, but also makes the other party give out more money out of fear because of the intimidation. Lin Chong waited for him to scold him, and when the seizure was over, Lin Chong quickly took out five taels of silver, and with a smile on his face, he said, "I'm calling brother, some small gifts, don't say anything." The messenger looked at it, and didn't pick it up right away, but asked a question: "You taught me to send and manage the camp and mine?"

Obviously, if it's all in it, then there will still be a scolding. Lin Chong said: "It's just to send to my elder brother; if I have ten taels of silver, I will send my elder brother to manage the camp." Satisfied with the dispatch, what Lin Chong gave probably exceeded or at least met his psychological expectations, so he looked at Lin Chong and smiled and said, "Coach Lin, I also heard your good name. You are a good man! I think it was Gao Taiwei who framed you." You are gone. Although you are suffering for the time being, you will surely make a fortune in the future. According to your name, you are not an idle person, and you will become a high official in the future!"

Chekhov, the master of Russian short stories in the 19th century, once wrote a particularly famous novel called, which profoundly portrayed the image of a police officer named Ochumelov. In fact, in China, during the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, the author That created the image of the chameleon Chapah, and it seemed more refined, more prominent, and more real, more believable, and more natural! We can compare the two words before and after the dispatch.When we met for the first time, because Lin Chong didn't hand over the money immediately, he immediately changed his face and cursed, and when Lin Chong took out the money, he immediately put on a smiling face. This is a change in his face, anger turned into a smile.

Even more exciting is the change in language. When scolding Lin Chong, he called Lin Chong a "thief". He said: "You guys know what to do in Tokyo!" What did you do?Of course, he did something illegal and criminal, and now he deserves what he deserves. But after getting the money, it became: "I think Taiwei Gao framed you." Therefore, the first article: "thief" has become "injustice". When scolding Lin Chong, he called Lin Chong "cheap": "Hunger lines are all over his face, and he will never make a fortune in his life!"

After getting the money, it becomes "Although the sun is suffering temporarily, it will surely make a fortune in the future." "In the future, you will become a high-ranking official." Therefore, the second article: "cheap" has become "expensive". When scolding Lin Chong, they said that Lin Chong was "stubborn", "the bone of a thief, a stubborn prisoner who could not be beaten to death or tortured to death". After getting the money, he became "He is a good man. He must not be someone who waits for nothing." Therefore, the third article: "stubborn" has become "good".

When scolding Lin Chong, they said that Lin Chong was "proud", which means "not bowing down" and "strikingly stabbing". After getting the money, it becomes "According to your name, you are not an idle person." Therefore, the fourth article: "Arrogance" becomes "Positive". When scolding Lin Chong, they called Lin Chong "military support" and "stubborn prisoner", without even a name. After getting the money, it became: "Professor Lin, I also heard your good name." "According to your name, this is a good person."

Thus, Article 5: The insulting appellation has become a respectful appellation. For five taels of silver, Lin Chong became a different person.Has Lin Chong changed?Lin Chong is still the same Lin Chong, what has changed is the errand. Fifty taels of silver, and the difference is a different person. Five taels of silver changed Lin Chong's world, and five taels of silver changed the hearts of those who sent him! The servant said that he would become a high official in the future, Lin Chong said with a smile: "The boss will take care of you." The servant said: "Just don't worry." When Lin Chong didn't take the silver, he was angry and Lin Chong was bitter. When Lin Chong offered the silver, he was laughing, and Lin Chong laughed too. The more important issue is that for five taels of silver, the prisoners and the correctional staff have reached a private deal. Lin Chong took out Chai Jin's letter again, and said, "Brother Xiangfan, please write down these two letters." The messenger said: "Since you have a book from Chai Daguan, what are you worrying about? This book is worth an ingot of gold. I will write a letter with you at the same time. A small manager will come to you. When you want to hit a hundred killing sticks , you just say that you have been sick all the way, and you have never recovered. I have come to falter with you, trying to hide it from the eyes of others." Lin Chong said, "Thank you for your advice." The messenger took the silver and the book, and went by himself. Lin Chong sighed and said, "If you have money, you can pass through the gods. This is not bad! It's such a hardship!" We don't know whether having money can lead to gods, but we know that "money can make ghosts turn millstones".Now, for Lin Chong's five taels of silver, let the ghost of the messenger do the grinding for him. Lin Chong gave the messenger ten taels of silver to Guan Ying, but the messenger secretly left five taels of silver and Chai Jin's letter to Guan Ying. In front of Guan Ying, Bei said: "Lin Chong is a good man." , Mr. Chai has a letter of recommendation to submit here, it was Gao Taiwei who framed him and sent him here, and it is nothing serious." The dispatcher wanted to manage the camp and take care of Lin Chong, and gave three reasons: 1. Lin Chong himself is a hero. Second, Lin Chong was framed. 3. There are letters from Chai Jin. However, of these three, only the latter one actually works.The first two are actually useless.If you don't take money, it doesn't matter whether you are a hero or not, whether you are wronged or not. Guan Ying said: "What's more, Officer Chai has books, so he must be taken care of." This sentence is very good, the wonderful thing is very strange.Where is the blame? The strange thing is that he only mentioned the third of the three reasons why Lin Chong should be taken care of above. Therefore, this sentence is an incomplete sentence, and it is the second half sentence, and the first half sentence is missing. What should the first half of the sentence be?It should be: "Since Lin Chong sent the money..." But I chose not to say this half sentence, because it was tacit understanding, so don't say it. With money, let alone a letter from Chai Daguan, he must be taken care of. Why do Chai Daguan's letters work? It was still Li Zhi who could see it clearly: he commented on Yuan Ben's eyebrows: "Because Chai Jin is a rich man who gives away money, a book is worth one ingot of gold; otherwise, fifty taels of silver are worth a hundred Chai Jin." .” It can be seen that it is not Chai Jin who has face, but Chai Jin who has money. There is a word in China called "valuable money".Well, how do you judge whether something is good or not?Take money to measure.If it's worthless, no one cares.Chai Jin is valued by management and dispatchers because he is valuable. How to take care of him? First of all, of course, the one-hundred-killing stick was exempted. So Guan Ying ordered Lin Chong to come to see him. Lin Chong came to the hall.Guan Ying said: "You are a new prisoner. Emperor Taizu Wude left the old rule: 'New recruits must eat a hundred killing sticks.' Around! Come with me!" It seems that the fight is about to start immediately, making it look like the real thing.But we already know that Guan Ying has long made up his mind not to fight Lin Chong. Therefore, the way of managing the camp here is nothing more than telling stories, pretending, and memorizing lines.But I don't know who to show it to.In fact, this kind of drama has been played a lot, who doesn't understand? Since everyone, even the prisoners in the Manchurian camp, knew it was just a show, why bother doing it?For whom? Everyone looks at it.Let's play and watch together.We are both actors and audiences. What kind of culture is this?This is drama culture. As long as the play is performed, there will be a program.Once you have the program, it counts.This is typical of a culture of self-deception. Now it was Lin Chong's turn to recite his lines: "The villain caught a cold on the road, and he has not recovered, so he will send you a report." Now it's time to say the line: "Seeing that this person is sick today, I beg for mercy." Guan Ying said: "If this person has symptoms, he has the right to send it down, and he can beat him when he recovers." The scene was played out step by step. The messenger recommended Lin Chong to guard the Heavenly King Hall. The messenger said: "Teacher Lin, I am very considerate of you: when teaching to see the Hall of Heavenly Kings, this is the first labor-saving activity in the camp. In the morning and evening, you only need to burn incense and sweep the floor. Look at other prisoners, from morning till night If you don’t want to spare him; there is still a class of ruthless ones, put him in a dungeon, begging for life or death!” What does this passage mean? First, it shows that they have the power to manage the camp and dispatch, and the fate of the prisoners is in their hands. Second, it shows that this power can be rent-seeking. Third, Lin Chong took out the money, and the power of management and dispatch was used by Lin Chong. At this time, Lin Chong had already opened his mind and experienced the power of silver, so he took another three or two taels of silver and gave it to the messenger, saying, "It's better to open the neck shackle once my brother is all right." The messenger took the silver, He said, "It's all on me." He hurriedly reported to Guan Ying, and then opened the shackles. It really didn't work out. From then on, Lin Chong arranged a boarding place in Tianwang Hall, and only burned incense and swept the floor every day.I didn't realize that it was forty or fifty days earlier.The manager of the camp and dispatcher got a bribe and became familiar with him for a long time.Chai Daguan came to send winter clothes and personnel affairs to him, and the prisoners in the camp were also rescued by Lin Chong. Lin Chong became addicted to silver envoys.He used the silver to perfection, and made the magic of silver to the peak.
