Chapter 70: Ideal and Reality
The ideal is plump, and the reality is skinny.
On the night of the day the army was set, two men fled together. As soon as Yuan Xi woke up in the morning, he received a report from Lu Fang.
"He Da Niu? Didn't he serve as a platoon commander in the second platoon? Why run away? ”
Yuan Xi felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, yesterday the core team held a meeting, He Daniu was also present, Xu Dayan was actively asking questions over there, but He Daniu never spoke. He Da Niu is a dark and thin middle-aged man, if he doesn't pay attention, he thinks he is an old farmer who grows crops in the field. Yuan Xi thought that he was taciturn by nature, and he didn't think that he had already moved the idea of escaping. But if you want to escape, why wait until now? When I first chose people from the camp, I could refuse not to come. The first camp has a lot of food, and it's not bad to stay there as a captain.
He Daniu's escape is a signal that cannot be ignored. When one runs away, someone will follow suit. Like a flock of sheep on the grassland, if one goes forward, the other sheep will follow. There is inertia to this. In the end, the people were not gone, but the hearts of the people were scattered, and the people's army was a joke.
Yuan Xi's eyes rolled, and he said to Lu Fang: "You go and gather everyone, announce the matter of He Daniu's escape, and then organize everyone to discuss, why did you escape?" During the discussion, what are the difficulties in asking them to talk about themselves? Let's focus on what are the ways to run away. ”
People have two instincts, seeking advantage and avoiding harm. As the leader of the organization, he can stand tall and see far, but ordinary soldiers only see the immediate benefits. Yesterday, Yuan Xi talked about profit, and today I have to talk about harm.
Lu Fang was a little incomprehensible, and said: "I'm afraid that the army's mind will change if I say it directly, it's better to lie that He Da Niu is going to do something, and everyone can feel at ease." ”
Yuan Xi shook his head and said: "This kind of thing, if it has been concealed for a long time, it will be exposed one day, so it is better to find out from the beginning." As I said yesterday, if I don't want to stay, I won't force them to stay, but I will find a way out for them. He Daniu just left, and he didn't even have the interest to go to Zhang He's Euphorbia, which showed that he had indeed encountered some difficulties. Only by finding the root cause can we solve the problem. Go and call someone. ”
Lu Fang was just about to leave, but Yuan Xi stopped him again and said, "Desertion is also the responsibility of the instructor. In the future, you will have to pay more attention to the life of the soldiers. Think of ways to make everyone feel that they have something to rely on in the people's army. In addition to profits, there are always some other factors that can make people feel happy. ”
Lu Fang didn't understand what he heard, and ran to call someone.
Yuan Xi couldn't help but sigh a little, in his previous life, he was just a cadre in a confidential department, not the kind of leader, so he didn't realize the importance of collective organization. Organizational skills are still slightly lacking. To be reborn as a human being, you have to train hard.
Everyone is here and the meeting begins.
Yuan Xi first asked Lu Fang to inform He Daniu of the whole story. The people in the second platoon basically had a guess, while the other two platoons were completely unaware. As soon as the words came out, everyone's expressions became different. Some were silent, others were stunned. The reaction fell into Yuan Xi's eyes, and he couldn't help frowning.
In his eyes, everyone has a number on their head, which represents their personal favorability, but personal relationships are one thing, and collective satisfaction is another. From the dense small print, it is impossible to see the true intentions of these people.
He inadvertently looked up, and suddenly saw a huge number lit up above the crowd and under the beams, 43!
"What does this mean?" He couldn't help but remember.
The previous favorability was also his guess, and through the test of practice, it can also explain the problem. But what this big number represents still has to be explored.
So he said, "Everyone, I called you here today to talk to you. He Da Niu is gone, but he won't be the last. I believe that among all of you, there must be some people who have this mind, who are watching and hesitating. I can understand this. Everybody has to think about themselves. But from my standpoint, I still hope that everyone will stay and create a career together. In life, you have to do something to find some bright spots from your memories before you die. So, everyone spoke freely, despite their concerns. ”
After speaking, he gave Xu Dayan a look. He and Xu Dayan are very familiar with each other, and they have long had a tacit understanding. The kid immediately stood up and said, "I have a concern, we have won the battle before, how should we receive this salary?" Before the general died, he promised us that we would receive a reward if we won the battle, but now the general is gone, and we are not going to camp first. ”
Many people waited until Xu Dayan spoke, and immediately straightened their waists and turned their ears sideways, obviously Xu Dayan said what they wanted.
Yuan Xi said: "It's simple, when I get to Yecheng, I'll send money to everyone." As much as the general promised, I will send you twice. Don't look at me as poor as I am, I have money in my treasury. Before the Yecheng granary burned down, I presided over a job, that is, to borrow money from the powerful landlords, and the borrowed money was used to buy grain. Now there is still a balance, and a hundred of you can still afford it. As for this money, it is also a big dog anyway, and if I borrow it, I will borrow it, and even if I don't pay it back, they can't do anything to me. ”
After he finished speaking, he immediately looked up at the big number above everyone's heads, only to see that the original 43 suddenly became 47, an increase of 4 points. I can't help but feel a little excited: sure enough, it is a data that can measure satisfaction. And it's not just satisfaction, it's more about morale.
With this sharp weapon, things will be much simplified in the future, and the work performance of Lu Fang, the instructor, can also be measured by numbers.
As soon as Xu Dayan spoke, the others opened the conversation box and began to be enthusiastic. One person said that he still had his parents in the township, and he was very worried. There is also a person who said that he is twenty-four this year and has not yet married a wife. Numerous. Yuan Xi asked Lu Fang and the others to record all of them with a pen and sign their names.
"Everyone's questions are strange, but they can all understand, they are all human beings, and they all have seven emotions and six desires. As I said, the people's army and the people's army, the people come and the people go, and if we want to solve the problems of the people, we can't leave our own problems behind, and we are all people. But these problems are not solved so quickly, and there will be new problems. Write them all down first. Go back and ask the instructor to reflect slowly. I'll just say one thing. People, look down at the road, and look up at the sky. Sometimes there is a contradiction between the ideal and the reality. When we encounter contradictions, we need to have trade-offs, and how to make trade-offs depends on the scale in everyone's hearts. The people's army is your home, we are all one family, and our families are honest with each other. I can tell you frankly, the people's army is still very weak now, and the future is very risky, you may feel confused for a while and give up on her, but in the near future, if you want to climb high, you will not be able to climb high. There are about two or three opportunities in a lifetime, and the opportunity in front of you may only happen once for thousands of years. ”
