There is such a person in Chinese history: he was born into a peasant family, but he eventually became one of the most influential figures in Chinese history.
In the ten years after he entered the official career, he moved seven times, was promoted ten levels in a row, and was named a first-class Yiyong Marquis. He became the first person in the Qing Dynasty to be awarded the title of Wuhou as a scholar. , survived the drastic changes in the political environment, received the highest preferential treatment of a state funeral from the Qing government when he died, and allowed his descendants to be blessed.
This person is Zeng Guofan.
In 1853, Zeng Guofan, a scholar, founded the Hunan Army. Internally, he is strict with himself and proves with his own actions that "if he is upright, he will not do what he is told; if he is not upright, he will not do what he is told". Externally, he is good at recognizing and employing people.
Don’t think that Zeng Guofan’s life was smooth. In fact, he was not born with these things. He also had many low points in his life. He also relied on his own intelligence to "counterattack", so when you are heavily in debt and want to turn yourself around, you need to understand Zeng Guofan's "Three Don'ts".
"Don't act as you please, and don't speak as you say"
It was Zeng Guofan's father's birthday, and Zheng Xiaoshan came to wish him a birthday. He was a fellow villager of Zeng Guofan. At that time, Zeng Guofan had just entered the Hanlin Academy and was so proud that he He pulled Xiaoshan to talk and talk without restraint, and even said some things and others, which angered Zheng Xiaoshan, so Zheng Xiaoshan left angrily.
Afterwards, Zeng Guofan realized his mistake and regretted it. After that, he began to pay attention to his words and deeds.
In the later summary, Zeng Guofan wrote: "You can't act according to your heart, and you can't speak according to your mouth." Sometimes what you think is your straightforwardness has actually annoyed others. You must know that trouble comes from your mouth. . "The greatest clumsiness in the world can beat the most cleverness in the world"
Zeng Guofan did not take shortcuts in reading, did not understand the previous sentence, did not read the next sentence; did not finish the book, did not touch the next book .
Although Zeng Guofan took the scholar examination for nine years, once he got the hang of it, the road ahead became smoother and smoother. Four years later, he was awarded the Jinshi Scholarship, while other classmates who had won the Scholarship Examination earlier were not even able to pass the examination. Not one came out.
Zeng Guofan did not take shortcuts in fighting. Everywhere the Hunan army went, they set up camps, turned offensive tasks into defensive tasks, and gradually eroded the areas controlled by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. This was the "Jie Hard Stronghold".
The Hunan Army often takes a whole year to siege a city, instead of two or three months. It digs trenches to siege a city, cuts off the enemy's food routes and supplies, and then encircles the enemy and calls for reinforcements when necessary. This method is very clumsy. , but very effective, this is "fighting stupidly". "If you do things with people who are good-for-profit, you will be hurt."
Zeng Guofan said: "If you do things with people who are good-for-profit, you will be hurt."
There are always some things in the world. People are only interested in profit. In their hearts, they always value profit and are always using others. They can betray their friends for profit.
In life, when you interact with this kind of person, you will always be his object of exploitation and the thing in his pocket. Of course he will also pay, but his payment is based on greater profits and within the scope of extracting more from you. Of course you can't be friends with this kind of person! People are still in adversity in middle age. I suggest you read Zeng Guofan
