Chapter 44 Chapter 4 Be Simple

Seeing Zhu Gui, he remonstrated: "Brother is above, don't blame me for talking too much. Although there is little food in the village, it is close to the village and far away from the town, so you can borrow it. There are a lot of water, parks, trees and plants in the mountains, so you have to build thousands of houses. But it doesn't matter. This person was recommended by Chief Chai, how to teach him to go elsewhere? Moreover, Chief Chai has been kind to the mountain since he came here. If he learns that he doesn't accept this person in the future, it must be ugly. This person If he is a capable person, he must come out and give his strength." Du Qian said: "The one in the village will fight for him! If my brother doesn't take him in, the Chai officials will be offended when they find out. It shows that we are ungrateful and treacherous." Song Wan also persuaded Said: "On the face of the officer Chai, it's good to let him be a leader here; otherwise, we will see that we have no loyalty and make the heroes in the Jianghu laugh."

These three people are all talking about the basic principles of dealing with people, and they are all common sense about dealing with people. First, no matter how small the cottage is, it will not be short of a person's food, clothing and shelter.What's more, this person is not eating for free. Second, Chai Jin has to give face, and he must not be ungrateful. Third, Lin Chong has the ability, so he must contribute to the copycat. Fourth, lack of loyalty will make the heroes of the world laugh. With common sense, you may not be able to accomplish great things, but at least you can be a passable person.

What is a passable person? If you can let others live, you can live too. Like these three people: At this moment, they let Lin Chong pass, and they didn't force him to a corner.In the future, Lin Chong and Liangshan will be reconciled, so they will be able to get by. Wang Lun, on the other hand, thinks he is smart, and thinks he can figure it out. People like this often forget the basic common sense in dealing with people.Why are there so many people who are clever but are mistaken by their cleverness?It is a mistake to forget common sense. Be simple.What does it mean to be simpler?

Just do it, don't overcomplicate it. Don't do what you shouldn't do, and don't think too complicated. After a period of time, reviewing what we have done, we found that we have done what we should do; we have not done what we should not do. This is success. Conversely, what about those who make things complicated? What to do, think about it, don't do it. What shouldn't be done, thought about it, and did it. It seems that he thinks more than others and seems to be smarter, but after a period of time, when he takes stock of his life, he has not done many things that should be done; he has done a lot of things that should not be done.

Who is really smart? Wang Lun said: "Brothers don't know, although he committed a serious crime in Cangzhou, he went up the mountain today, but he doesn't know his confidant. If you want to see the truth, what should I do?" This is complete nonsense and typical duplicity.What his real fears are, we readers know.The author told us so.But Lin Chong didn't know.However, Lin Chong refuted him with one sentence. Lin Chong said: "The villain has committed capital crimes all over his body, so he joins the gang, why do you believe him?" Yes, there is no reason to doubt others.

Wang Lun said: "Since this is the case, if you really want to join the group, you can submit a 'Certificate of Name'." What is a nomination certificate? It is to go down the mountain to kill a person and offer his head to prove that he is really determined. In order to settle down in Liangshan, would Lin Chong violate his usual principles of life and kill an innocent person?
