Guo Jin has always been a generous and generous person to gain a foothold in the court.

According to Guo Peng's arrangement, he used this as a starting point to build his reputation, which formed a certain contrast with Guo Peng's strictness.

But sometimes there are some things, and the more I think about it, the more angry I get.

Obviously, Guo Jin has already made a decision, but they still talk about it, feeling that this is not right and that is wrong, let Guo Jin think about it again.

Pointing fingers, he is quite rude, he doesn't do his own thing, but he wants to interfere with what Guo Jin should do as a county magistrate.

This thing has to be done this way, that thing has to be done that way, there is no unified view between each other, and sometimes two people will quarrel because of one thing, and they don't take Guo Jin's decision in their eyes.

Such various things made Guo Jin feel unpleasant.

Guo Jin doesn't know when he started to feel that this mode of getting along is not suitable for him, but the unhappiness has always existed.

Realizing this, Guo Jin realized the source of his unpleasantness.

His power was questioned.

People always like to inch in, and it is not easy to realize the change in identity and mentality of both parties in time.

It is not very easy for them to realize in time what has changed in Guo Jin's heart.

When Guo Jin became more and more like a gentleman rather than an ordinary person, he no longer needed anything other than their talents and loyalty.

Although he is still covering up, he is still forbearing, but if they are smart enough, they should know what they can't do anymore.

But apparently, they haven't.

From the small to the big, Guo Jin began to worry that when he really grasped the power, when the bond between the two of them changed from emotion to power, at the level of power, would these people continue to gain an inch?

After thinking about it a little, Guo Jin felt that there was a great possibility that this kind of thing would happen.

Emotions are something they share, but power is not.

If Guo Jin can still endure it emotionally, it is absolutely unacceptable in terms of power.

Guo Jin is a resolute supporter and successor of Guo Peng's centralized and strong imperial will, and has always believed that it is very important to hold power, and it is very important to centralize power, and power must not be easily given to others.

Power must be in the hands of the center.

In the hands of the Emperor!

Power is not something that can be used to laugh at, and the things that distribute power between jokes and jokes will definitely not exist here in Guo Jin.

He began to expect someone to be aware of this and make targeted changes that would be respectful of him.

Respect for his authority, respect for his identity and decisions.

But it's a pity that so far, only Lu Yi has clearly done this, and even Lu Yu has not done it very well.

And Guo Jin believes that the reason why Lu Yi did this is that on the one hand, Lu Yi is smart, and on the other hand, Lu Yi has not grown up with him since he was a child, and he does not have that kind of superfluous feelings.

Lu Yi knows the superiority and inferiority, knows the importance of the matter, knows what to say and what not to say, and is cautious about the relationship between him and Guo Jin, and strictly abides by the boundaries and etiquette of the monarch and the minister.

But his friends haven't realized that their relationship is no longer entirely emotional.

Guo Jin's official position is the county order, and he is in charge of a county.

This power is not large, it can even be said to be relatively small, but when Cao Tai, Xiahou Heng and others took power with him, they already had a preliminary relationship between their superiors and subordinates.

Their relationship ties have been mixed with some power, not pure emotion.

Sometimes, he even felt disgusted by the behavior of his childhood friends.

There is also a faint desire to punish them severely for establishing their authority.

Guo Jin felt a little uneasy about such thoughts, because Guo Jin also had a voice in his heart telling him that these partners were thinking about him.

But he just hates it, he just doesn't want to accept it.

So he raised this uneasiness to Guo Peng, doubting his psychology and hoping to get Guo Peng's help.

Guo Peng looked very happy.

Because he felt that Guo Jin had developed a sense of power that belonged to him, and began to understand the truth that power is not encroached upon by others.

This is very good.

"That's right, it's not a doubt, you're not doing anything wrong, you don't have to worry, because you're alone, you don't need friends, you just need subordinates."

Guo Peng once again instilled such a concept into Guo Jin, and then continued to admonish him.

"But now you are not the emperor, so you can't really be angry and punished, you still need Corporal Lixian, even if it is pretending, even if it is forbearance, you should do this, in order to convince people, just right, you can take advantage of this time to observe it.

You have to observe carefully and carefully, and take a good look at who is the one who can really be entrusted with the important task after you ascend the throne, your respect, your favor, not the dependence of his trespassing, and the person who cannot recognize his identity and situation cannot really entrust the heavy responsibility. ”

Guo Peng firmly engraved this will in the depths of Guo Jin's mind, so that every time Guo Jin gets along with his small team in the future, he will remember what Guo Peng said.

So, Guo Jin learned to forbear.

However, Guo Peng told Guo Jin that there are some things that cannot be endured, and he must keep a bottom line, and clearly tell this group of people that they cannot cross this bottom line.

Within a certain range, control your emotions and stick to your bottom line, letting them know that there are some things that cannot be crossed.

Guo Jin felt that it was difficult to do this, and asked Guo Peng how he controlled the generals of the Cao Xiahou clan who had been with him since he was a child, and wanted to learn something from it.

In Guo Jin's memory, the generals of the Cao clan and the Xiahou clan never dared to disobey Guo Peng's orders.

Guo Peng's order is the same.

Whether it is the arrogant and domineering Cao Hong or the outstanding Cao Ren, they dare not disobey and do whatever they want.

"It's all typed, it's been played from a young age."

Guo Peng couldn't help laughing: "I also blame my father, I didn't tell you as soon as possible, but the environment you are in is different from your father, when your father lives, the world will be chaotic, order is on the verge of collapse, the people are fierce, and everyone is used to reasoning with weapons with fists."

In the living environment of being a father, if you are not strong, you will be bullied, and killing people is also commonplace, in some areas, every household has weapons, when you are a farmer in a good year, you will go out to loot and kill people in a disaster year, and you are used to seeing rotting corpses or white bones on the road.

At that time, it was not like now, the Wei State was strong, and his father explicitly forbade the people to fight privately and implemented the salt and iron official camp, confiscated the civil weapons, and the people gradually lost the atmosphere of fighting bravely and ruthlessly, at that time, it was a disagreement to draw a knife against each other, and it was not uncommon to kill people on the street......"

Guo Peng slowly told Guo Jin about his childhood.

That era was only thirty or forty years ago, and the era was not far away, and people of Guo Peng's age still have memories of those years.

However, after Guo Jin grew up, such a situation basically no longer exists.

The people of the Wei Empire were restored to stability and peace, and the grassroots were also controlled by the powerful power tentacles of the Wei Empire, and the civil chaos in the late Eastern Han Dynasty was no longer restored.

If the government is corrupt and incompetent, unable to control the localities, unable to give the people a certain sense of security, or even becoming a saboteur of security, then the people will be allowed to protect themselves spontaneously.

The people will uncontrollably possess weapons, actively practice martial arts, and establish various self-defense organizations, so that a social phenomenon of "strong people" emerges, and the government is powerless to intervene.

However, no matter how fierce the people's customs are, they are quite powerless in the face of a highly organized professional army and professional ordnance, and the disordered society will further devour the vitality of the country and destroy the foundation of unification, which will eventually bring tragic consequences.

Just like the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

And if the government is strong and conscientious, and can give ordinary people a sense of security, then they will naturally not have the idea of self-defense, so the ban on civilian weapons will be very smooth.

This is what Guo Peng has been working hard to promote since he became the pastor of Qingzhou.

Guo Jin's generation has gradually grown up in such an environment, of course they will not be like Guo Peng when he was young, it is difficult to gain a foothold in the local area if he is not fierce.

Guo Jin didn't need to learn from Guo Peng, and relied on sticks to beat all the sons of the Cao family and the Xiahou family to establish his status as the child king.

"When my father was young, there were many powerful families in the local area, every family had private soldiers, and young children also practiced martial arts from an early age, so they were brave and ruthless.

For his father, he fights in groups all the year round, takes the sons of the Cao family and the Xiahou family, and fights with other powerful clans, dozens of times a year, and several times a month, and even sometimes he is ruthless, and he can beat the other party all over blood. ”

Guo Peng said this, and Guo Jin listened with great interest, seeming to be very interested.

But that's not the point.

"Every time there is a group fight, the father rushes to the front and leads them to fight, rushes to the front, fights the hardest, and suffers the most injuries, so they have developed the habit of obeying their father since they were young, which can be regarded as an accident for the father, which you can't learn."

Guo Peng told Guo Jin the key points.

"What the father meant, the son understood."

Guo Jin nodded, indicating that he understood.

"The folk atmosphere of my father when he was a child was brave and ruthless, so my father was able to make the Cao Xiahou clan obey his father in this way and dare not disobey him, but when his son grew up with them, such a folk atmosphere no longer existed."

"Yes, you can't and don't have to get their obedience in the way of the Father, you have to get their obedience in your own way, in the way that best suits you, to solve the problems you are facing, and if you try your best to still have disobedient people, then you have to pay attention."

Guo Peng gave Guo Jin a wake-up call.

Guo Jin pursed his lips and nodded.

"My son understands."

"Hmm."

Guo Peng expressed satisfaction with Guo Jin's enlightenment.

This is decent, power has a strong exclusivity, and what cannot be tolerated is what cannot be tolerated, and there is no reason.

Guo Jin only served as a county magistrate and held some power, and at this time, there were already some doubts and challenges in his ruling team.

This is unconscious and a kind of inertia, but if it is not curbed and changed as soon as possible, then Guo Jin will face greater problems when he takes over greater power in the future.

These people are afraid of Guo Peng, but they are not afraid of Guo Jin, and Guo Jin does not need their fear at present, but respect cannot be without.

The room for affection in the power field is so small that it is almost impossible to accommodate two people at the same time.

Of course, what to do is Guo Jin's business, and Guo Peng will not intervene.

If even these people can't control it well, then he really wasted Guo Peng's painstaking education for him, let alone control the tens of thousands of officials and hundreds of thousands of troops of an empire.
