Chapter Eighty-Seven: Eating, Tea, and Drinking

Wang Lun returned to his small village and dealt with a few remaining matters, and soon after, Li Zhu and Zhu Wu came together.

After sitting down, Li Zhu saw Wang Lun eating tea, so he said: "Brother Yahao, Li Zhu layman, I don't understand this." ”

"This tea is a good thing!" Afraid that Li Zhu and Zhu Wu would still be embarrassed by what happened just now, Wang Lun smiled softly and said to the two: "Do the two brothers remember the tea drinking tips written by Lu Tong in the Tang Dynasty?" ”

Zhu Wu saw that Wang Lun was not upset by what had just happened, and he was a lot more relaxed, so he smiled heartily and said, "I want to ask my brother for advice!" ”

Wang Lun took a sip of tea and recited it with great interest:

a throat kiss moisturizes;

Two cups of solitude;

Three cups of dry intestines, only 5,000 lines of articles;

Four cups of sweating, life is uneven, all to the pores;

Five cups of muscles and bones are light, and six cups are spiritual;

Seven cups are not allowed to drink, and two armpits are practiced in the breeze;

After hearing this, Li Zhuxian complimented Wang Lun, "Getting along with my brother is really refreshing, and the turbidity of the mundane things in my chest is relieved." Li Zhu is lucky! ”

The three of them had a conversation, but Wang Lun never mentioned the conflict just now.

After waiting for a while, Li Zhu couldn't hold his breath and said thoughtfully: "Brother, just now I also mentioned Song Wan and Du Qian's brothers, and I will ask Brother Pei Xuan for their guilt!" ”

Wang Lun put down the teacup and said casually: "Now that there are many brothers on the mountain, it is not easy to bring the team!" ”

Not to mention the present, even the relationship between Liangshan in the original book is also complicated. The heroes of Liangshan are not a simple gang of bandits organized temporarily, one hundred and eight generals, each with different social experience, life experience, ability, ambition, and process of going up the mountain.

Even many people did not volunteer, but were forced by Song Jiang to go up the mountain in desperation, such as Lu Junyi, Qin Ming, and Li Ying. All this determines that they have different mentalities and different "goals" when they go up the mountain.

For example, Li Kui wants to fight in Tokyo, "take the bird position", and get a general; Lin Chong thought about how to take revenge; Song Jiang wanted to be incorporated by the imperial court and become a Hui official again. Ruan Xiaoqi thought about drinking and eating meat, and was born to kill.

Therefore, in order to make everyone make reasonable expectations, to achieve basic psychological and physical satisfaction, to do their job; Also to prevent betrayal, institutional restraint is necessary. As Liangshan gradually grew, the need for the system became more urgent.

In addition to personal reasons, the lack of absolute authority under the guarantee of the system is also a reason. Compared with Liangshan, the other gangs and local forces in the book operate in a very simple way, and there is not much institutional design. For example, Erlongshan, "occupying the mountain as the king", relies on brotherly righteousness to maintain the union. Another example is the Zhuangzi of the little whirlwind Chai Jin, "who single-mindedly recruits heroes from all over the world, and raises thirty or fifty of them at home", which is a simple imitation of the style of "raising scholars" in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

Unfortunately, time shifts to change, in the Song Dynasty, where the talent selection system was quite perfect, there was no attractive future (a knife and a gun, a wife and a son), and a capable victim (such as Lin Chong, Wu Song) would not succumb to Chai Jin's Zhuangzi and do nothing. And the heroic eaters of "those who die for confidants" before the Han Dynasty, Guo Jie, Zhu Jia, and Jing Ke written by Sima Qian, have long since died in the Song Dynasty a thousand years later. Yan Qing on Liangshan is to Lu Junyi, and Shi Xiuzhi is to Yang Xiong.

Now, although Wang Lun has established rules and divided the ministry at the beginning of the mountain, everyone also obeys orders. However, as the number of leaders increases, each person has different abilities, and sooner or later something will happen because of the problems of seating and ministry. Li Zhu and Zhu Wu saw today's contradictions, and they were immediately worried.

This is true on the mountain today, and it will be paid back in the future!

The biggest challenge for leaders is whether you can give people a higher goal and a higher personal image in addition to food and clothing, and in addition to personal treatment. If not, then the higher the location, the more dangerous it is.

Wang Lun saw Li Zhu and Zhu Wu's thoughts, and asked with a smile: "Let me ask, Brother Zhu Wuxian!" Come to my Liangshan, are you eating wine, tea or eating? ”

Zhu Wu was suddenly asked, and he was speechless for a long time. Drinking alcohol is emotional, eating solves the problem of food and clothing, and drinking tea is a spiritual experience.

This is to ask about the motive of Shangliangshan! Li Zhu was more thoughtful and understood this, but he didn't say it.

After taking a sip of tea, Zhu Wucai said: "I am a good wine, and the picture is lively; Eating tea is an elegant thing, and I'm afraid that I don't have this romance. As he spoke, he glanced at Wang Lun and said, "But I see that my brother's question seems to have a deep meaning!" ”

Wang Lun nodded and said his own reasoning.

"A person must have a basic motivation for joining the collective.

Some people are trying to solve the problem of food and clothing, or they are trying to make money and materials, which can be compared to "eating"; For some people, because the collective is very warm and emotional, everyone is very happy together, which is just like "eating wine"; Others have greater ambitions to achieve here, these people are ambitious, focused, and have a richer spiritual realm, which is like "eating tea".

Treating these three different types of subordinates requires different management strategies. ”

After hearing Wang Lun's words, Li Zhu first understood. "Brother, please elaborate!"

Zhu Wu didn't speak, but tried to digest Wang Lun's remarks and savor them.

"It is necessary to show the ability of the people who eat, and the use of profit means is the most effective. For those who want to eat and drink, it is necessary to contact the feelings and use emotional means. For those who want to eat tea, there should be spiritual guidance and stimulation, and more use of morality. With a multi-pronged approach, the brothers will unite and be invincible! ”

"To control your subordinates, you must come up with a fire that can ignite their hearts. Without Tao, it is not enough to have love and benefit. Nowadays, the brothers rarely act collectively, they are not familiar enough, and a little friction is common. When the time is ripe, I will wait for the big ticket, one is to transfer the contradictions, and the other is to run in the team! ”

After a while, Wang Lun said his own rules for employing people. Li Zhu and Zhu Wu listened to it and took it as a guide.

In fact, Wang Lun didn't plan to say this to others. It's just that Liangshan is expanding and his affairs are busy, so he can't do everything himself. also needs Li Zhu and Zhu Wu to help, so he is heartfelt.

Whether it is the original Liangshan or the current Liangshan, there is a core decision-making level. Wang Lun regarded Li Zhu and Zhu Wu as his right-hand men, so he did not hide it.

Li Zhu and Zhu Wu were also worried that the Liangshan brothers were mostly looking at Wang Lun's face and reputation. Wang Lun is okay, Wang Lun went out, but many people and the two of them did not move, which damaged the majesty. At this time, after listening to Wang Lun's words, Fang Juemao suddenly opened.

Think about it, the original Li Kui is Song Jiang's hardcore brother, usually the most trusted by Song Jiang, and has deep feelings, why is such a brother not scolded, but just looked at his head? There is no more effective way for a leader to retain his subordinates than satisfaction and loyalty. Satisfaction is often related to material gains, while loyalty is related to spiritual experiences.

Why? The reason is simple. A leader can give his subordinates rich material gains, so that he is very satisfied, but satisfaction may not be loyal, especially when the material desires of subordinates are stimulated, he is more likely to be driven by interests and do disloyal things.

Therefore, while giving material things, it is necessary to constantly make subordinates feel that what they are doing is meaningful, and maintain spiritual self-affirmation. Only when a person is spiritually devoted to a cause will his heart glow with infinite loyalty. This kind of loyalty will transcend the gains and losses of material gain and personal disgrace.

The key skill of leadership is loyalty management to subordinates. Loyalty based on interests is fragile loyalty, loyalty based on feelings is unstable loyalty, and only loyalty based on morality is reliable loyalty.

And the best bridge between loyalty and satisfaction is trust. Trust in interests and emotional trust, these are low-level trust, with high cost, frequent maintenance and poor reliability; Moral trust is a high-level trust that is low cost, simple to maintain, and reliable.

Song Jiang made a small mistake in his attitude towards Li Kui, overemphasizing the means of interests and emotions and rarely using moral means. Although Li Kui has full confidence in Song Jiang's strength and Song Jiang's feelings, he only lacks confidence in Brother Song's character.

So as soon as others had rumors, Li Kui believed them, and then he made a fuss about using force with Song Jiang. Exciting careers and noble personalities are always the best means that leaders use to maintain the loyalty of their subordinates.

Throughout the ages, many leaders have adopted a half-pull and half-defense strategy for the people around them, but this is not clever, and a smart leader must also do his best to manage his self-image among his personal characters and gain personal trust.

This conversation lasted for half an hour, which was enough for Li Zhu and Zhu Wu to digest.

Seeing that it was not early, Wang Lun nodded at Li Zhu and Zhu Wu, "The two brothers are loyal to Liangshan and do their best, and the foolish brother is deeply praised, and I hope that the two brothers will give more advice on the major affairs of the cottage in the future." ”

"I'm sure to live up to my brother's hopes!"

"Obey my brother's orders!"

Li Zhu and the others saluted Wang Lun, and then went back separately. After listening to Wang Lun's words, the two of them were used for life and had more confidence in Liangshan.

"Ahh But I forgot one thing! His mind was full of accidents during the day and Wang Lun's remarks, and Li Zhu returned to his room before remembering that there was another incident that he did not report to Wang Lun.
