"The Analects of the Township Party" contains, a friend died, there was no home, Confucius said: "I am buried." Song Zhuxi's note: Friends, those who are united by righteousness.

"The Mean" says: "The righteous should also be." The note in the passage of the "Sayings": "The precept of righteousness is that etiquette and appearance are appropriate. ”

The explanation in the Xinhua Dictionary is "correct and appropriate reason or action".

The beard said: The righteous one, the profit also.

Who's the beard, you ask? The scumbag sighs, referred to as the beard.

Fang Zhongyong, as the "eldest son" of the beard, naturally took the words of the beard as a guideline. Actually, it's not to blame Fang Zhongyong for being realistic, just imagine, in a commercial society where human desires are rampant, when everything becomes bargainable, what can closely link two people of the same sex who are not related by blood is the only thing left in addition to the feelings that transcend gender.

If it is advantageous, it will be combined, and if it is not profitable, it will be divided. According to the explanation in the "Xinhua Dictionary", the correct reason or action we should follow in the business society is whether the interaction between the two people has commercial value. If it is valuable, it is right to contact; It's worthless, and it's wrong to associate again.

Is it possible to make friends happily with common interests? Not really, because the Son said again: Those who have no friends are not as good as themselves. The truth is also very powerful: Traveling with people who are better than you can make you improve and be beneficial; There is no benefit in getting along with people who are at the same level or even inferior to you, it will only be a waste of time and feelings. These unanimous arguments seem to be somewhat utilitarian and even snobbish, but they are also in line with human nature. However, if we take a different stance, wouldn't this be wishful thinking? Su Dongpo Zeng Yun: "The ugly people of the world are happy to take those who are not their own friends, and they will be self-sufficient and lose day by day, so they will quit it." If you will win over yourself and then your friends, then you will not be friends with me. "Translated, you want to find someone better than yourself as a friend, and others want to find someone better than yourself as a friend, who will care about you?

And time is money, time is life - the emotional gods are too mysterious, which does not match the setting of this article, so I will not consider it for the time being. Old Master Lu once said that wasting other people's time is tantamount to making money and killing people. In order to avoid falling into the situation of a murderer, Fang Zhongyong is generally unwilling to delay other people's precious time. Even if there is, it is to say something necessary or beneficial to others.

There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.

Taizu has a cloud, the so-called united front, that is, to make fewer enemies and more friends.

Fang Zhongyong believes that as long as the interests are equal, it should be possible to maintain a stable relationship network for a long time. He sent Zhang Panlong to his name, gave Yan Juhou benefits, and helped Zeng Ye and Zeng Gong Yiwen, in fact, they were all weaving their own connections with the bond of interests. The effect was good, and Fang Zhongyong was also complacent for a while.

However, Fang Zhongyong found that he was wrong, and he was wrong.

When Fang Zhongyong proposed to cooperate with Zeng Ye to run a high-end furniture store, Zeng Ye said: "You cooperate with Yan Juhou in an ice drink shop, and you have to prepare for the exam, can you support it?" ”

The honest boy Zeng Gong said: "Aren't you strapped for money, so you want to make more than one living?" My family also has some savings, so it is not a problem for my brothers to go to Beijing to take the exam. But if there is a need, it is far from difficult to teach literature. ”

Even Yan Chengyu, who was passing by to make soy sauce, said: "Brother Wenyuan, my sister said, there are many talented people in the cold family, but you must also take care of your body, and you must not learn from the poor scholar who is a poor scholar who reflects the snow and paints porridge." Well, this is my sister's New Year's money and I, we have been saving for several years, so let's send you to do the expenses! ”

Fang Zhongyong was ashamed, moved, and a little crying and laughing. He touched Yan Chengyu's head and said, "Zhongrong, my brother is not short of money, I'm worried about you." My brother just wants to have more income and a better life in the future, right? He whispered again: "You don't want Sister Rongyue to suffer in the future, right?" ”

Yan Chengyu nodded and said: "Sister Rongyue can love me and Quanjie, Xuanli, Chongrang, and Mingyuan, of course we hope that Sister Rongyue is doing well." A few of them have wanted to see you for a long time, but they are still young, and their mother won't let them come out to play. I hope you can get home a day sooner! ”

Fang Zhongyong nodded and promised, "It's almost there." I'll go when my brother wins the yuan! ”

Yan Juhou was simply not here, so people brought three hundred jiaozi, and considering Fang Zhongyong's face, he didn't say that he borrowed it, but only said that it was "a share of the furniture store".

Fang Zhongyong did not shirk and directly negotiated with Zeng Ye on the share ratio. Zeng Ye provided labor and wood, accounting for 30%; Yan Juhou, a landlord, provides shops and men, accounting for forty percent; Fang Zhongyong took advantage of some and provided style design, accounting for two percent. There is still one percent left, which is operated by Yan Juhou for public relations purposes.

After the operation of the heart of a villain and the belly of a gentleman, the furniture store opened. But Fang Zhongyong also lost the excitement of opening an ice drink shop. How can you be excited when you are the only one who uses this business as a way to make money, and everyone else is just playing?

Alas, I really miss the "friends" who are willing to compete and seek mercenary interests in later generations. At that time, their mantra was "don't talk about feelings, it hurts money". Now, this bunch of idiots didn't even sign a contract, so they were so stupid and paid directly.

If Fang Zhongyong is willing, he can deceive them into bankruptcy, but is Fang Zhongyong willing?

When Fang Zhongyong planned to continue to manage his relationship with his friends, in the distant Western Xia and Tubo, Li Yuanhao and Na Xiaoluo, a pair of "old friends", wanted each other to die.

Li Yuanhao, on the fifth day of the fifth month of the sixth year of Xianping (1003) of Song Zhenzong, was born in Lingzhou (now Lingwu, Ningxia) in a family of party nobles. The year after he was born, his grandfather Li Jiqian was wounded and died in a battle with Pan Luozhi, the leader of the Six Grains of Tibet, and his father Li Deming succeeded him as the successor of the Dingyan Army in Xiazhou (now Jingbian County, Shaanxi Province).

In the ninth year of Dazhong Xiangfu (1016), Li Deming "usurped the imperial system" and posthumously called his father Li Jiqian as "the god of the law of the heavens, wisdom, benevolence and filial piety to the emperor of Guangde Guangxiao", and "the temple number Wuzong". At that time, Zhao Song was unable to attack, and only "expressed serious concern and solemnly protested".

Li Yuanhao saw through the weakness of Zhao and Song hidden under the peaceful and prosperous era, and after the death of Li Deming in the first year of Song Renzong Ming Dao (1032), Yuan Hao succeeded to the throne and actively prepared to establish a country and become emperor.

Although Li Yuanhao did not attend a day of Zhengzhi class, and he would never know what ideology and peaceful evolution were, it did not prevent him from making a series of cultural reforms.

First of all, the surnames of Li and Zhao "given" by the Tang and Song dynasties to the Tuoba clan of the party and the royal family were abolished, and the surnames were changed to "Wei Ming", and his name was changed to Xiaoxiao, and he was called "Wu Zu". In the second year of Song Renzong's Ming Dao (1033), Song Jianyuan Ming Dao was changed to "Xiandao" to avoid his father's suspicion.

In March of the year when the Yuan Dynasty was changed, Li Yuanhao issued a "bald order" to the party tribes in the territory. He was the first to bald, that is, to shave the crown of his head, and wear heavy rings on his ears. The tribal people were ordered to carry out all the orders for a period of three days, and those who did not comply were to be put to death. For a while, the party and the people vied for baldness.

In terms of clothing, Li Yuanhao "wears a white narrow shirt, a felt crown in red, and a red ribbon hanging after the crown". Officials are dressed according to their ranks. The common people are only allowed to wear turquoise clothes, so as not to be expensive or cheap. Second, after he succeeded to the throne, he set about creating a script that recorded the language of the Dangxiang people, that is, the Tangut script. During his reign, he also personally planned and presided over the work of creating the text, and ordered the minister Nori Hitoei and others to organize and interpret it and compile it into twelve volumes. Li Yuanhao ordered the promulgation of the "national character", and all chronicles should be used in the Fan book. It also set up the "Fan Zi Academy" to teach learning and promote use. In the documents exchanged with the Liao and Song dynasties, they were written in two languages.

In addition, Li Yuanhao was very dissatisfied with the phenomenon that the original ritual and music system of the Dangxiang clan was deeply influenced by the Tang and Song dynasties. He said to the minister Yeli Renrong: "The king makes ceremonies and makes fun, and the way is in the people." Fan customs to loyalty first, fighting for business, if the Tang and Song dynasties of the rhyme, I have nothing to take. He was determined to reform, advocating the spirit of "loyalty first, fighting for business" to guide the reform of ritual music, in the "auspicious evil, guests, rituals, swallow enjoyment" occasions, "the nine bows of the ceremony are three bows, and the five tones of the music are one tone". The system of etiquette was simplified, and it was ordered to be obeyed accordingly, and those who did not comply with it were punished with death.

Before the founding of the People's Republic of China and the proclamation of the emperor, Li Yuanhao carried out a series of constructions in the political and military systems. The establishment of political institutions is basically modeled after the system of the Central Plains. In May of the second year of Li Yuanhao's reign (1033), Xingzhou was promoted to Xingqing Mansion and the capital city, and a set of central and local official systems were established in imitation of the official system of the Song Dynasty.

Li Yuanhao attached great importance to the building of the army, and after obtaining the Hexi Corridor, he began to reorganize the army and build a regular military system on the basis of the original tribal military organization. In order to meet the needs of war and military and political construction, and to facilitate the deployment of troops, the "military supervision department" in the nature of a local military region has been set up to integrate military command organs with regional defense measures. Imitating the Song Dynasty military unit "box" and "army" system, the whole territory is divided into left and right compartments, and there are a total of 12 military supervision divisions, each with a military name, a specified station, and set up military leaders to command the army, deputy commander of the army, and supervise the army envoys. Troops were widely deployed throughout the territory, focusing on the defense of the capital Xingqing Mansion and the defense of the Song and Liao Dynasty. In the areas inhabited by the Tibetans and Uighurs in Suzhou and Ganzhou in the Hexi Corridor, the prefectures were promoted to set up prefectures, and heavy troops were placed to suppress and pacify them at the same time, so as to strengthen their rule.

Or, an ambitious, murderous madman!

Who are the people who love and kill him?

Whoa, formerly known as Lingwen Nan, is a descendant of the Tubo Yalongjue Awang line.

At the age of 12, he was welcomed to Hezhou (now Linxia, Gansu) by the leader of the Qiang tribe in Hezhou and proclaimed himself as the king. Immediately, he was taken hostage by Li Lizun, a monk of Zongge, and Wen Qiqi, the great chief of Miaochuan, to Kuozhou (now Jianzha North, Qinghai), established as Zampu, and then moved the royal city to Zongge (now southeast of Xining). Later, in order to get rid of the control of Li Lizun, the prime minister, Wen Qiqi was the judge, with tens of thousands of troops, and attached the Song Dynasty to resist the Western Xia. In the eighth year of Song Dazhong Xiangfu (1015), the legislative system was established, hundreds of thousands of people were gathered, and the tribe gradually became stronger. In August of the first year of Ming Dao (1032), Song awarded him the title of General Ningyuan and the training envoy of the Aizhou Regiment. In the following year, the royal city was moved to Qingtang (now Xining), and he ruled the eastern part of present-day Qinghai and part of Gansu, and was known as Qingtang Tubo.

Under the rule of the Tsang, the Tibetan people in the Hehuang region lived a stable and relatively prosperous life. He has indeed made outstanding contributions to the Tibetan people in history, and the Tibetan folk epic "The Legend of King Gesar" was developed based on the deeds of the Tibetan people.

Compared with Li Yuanhao, in the eyes of the Great Song Dynasty, the smugglers who pursued the policy of attaching the Song Dynasty to resist Xia to protect themselves are much more cute.

Because not only did he not form a "captive army" like Li Yuanhao, he often went to the border of Zhao and Song to loot people and property, but also actively developed commerce and trade with the Central Plains, and repeatedly expressed his willingness to join forces with the Song Dynasty to resist Xia. Even in the first year of Kangding (1040), he discussed the timing of Xia with the Song envoy Liu Lian, dedicated an oath and a map of Xizhou, and reaffirmed his determination to cooperate with the Song to fight against Xia. You know, in ancient times, offering a map was equivalent to giving your life to someone else. Maybe he has a tentative mind, but the meaning of friendship and even surrender is enough to make the high-ranking officials of the Great Song Dynasty celebrate.

In the words of later generations, he was an "excellent leader of ethnic minority areas" who was "peace-loving, good-neighborly and friendly, and devoted to the central government".

For Li Yuanhao, who is bent on becoming emperor, such a Erwuzai is really hateful - although in the eyes of the Song Dynasty, he is the real Erwuzai. Everyone is the descendant of the mountain, you don't do a good job of grazing and hunting, but you actually have to learn the etiquette of the Song people to engage in economic construction and develop civilization. It's stupid!

Do we need to engage in economic construction? Of course not! Because we can go to Da Song to rob it!

Do we need civilized etiquette? Of course not! Poetry and poetry are the disease-free crookedness of the weak Han people, how can the wide robe and big sleeves be happier than my sheepskin jacket through the four seasons?

What's even more infuriating is that you Qingtang Tubo not only didn't help me grab things from the Great Song Dynasty and fight grass valleys, but also sold a large number of war horses to the Great Song Dynasty to make up for their lack of war horses. What's even more infuriating is that you often cooperate with Zhao Song's army to attack my Great Xia. It's annoying! Hateful! Killable! In vain, I still want to marry my daughter to your stupid eldest son Dong Yu!

The allusion of "on the side of the couch, how can you allow others to sleep soundly" is naturally known to Li Yuanhao, who is familiar with the classics of the Han family. The Hehuang region ruled by the Gang was between the elbows of the Western Xia territory, and the Gang had a strong army of sixty or seventy thousand elite soldiers. This is undoubtedly a big hidden danger for Western Xia, and there may be a "transformation between elbows and armpits" at any time.

Extinguish it!
