Chapter 178: Networks

At that time, after this Qin Jiacheng successfully became Li Jing's registered disciple, this result made Qin Jiarui overjoyed!

"Husband, thank you so much, you have done so much for the Qin family, I really thank you so much. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info was able to apprentice with General Li Jing this time, which is really amazing. Even if he is only a registered disciple in this life, it can be said that he will have peace of mind in the next twenty years. Even if you don't give your husband face, then you have to give General Li Jing face! Qin Jiarui said.

Of course, Qin Jiarui knows the deterrent power of this Li Jing, because Li Jing is a prince of the country and a famous general of the dynasty. Especially in the future, it is inevitable that it will go further. If you can become Li Jing's apprentice, then your status will be different. Heaven and earth are the king's most honorable and relatives' closest, but the teacher is also an important supplement. Even deeper than the king in personal feelings. Ancient masters and apprentices are different from teachers and students in later generations, and Shi Bufan has a different understanding of ancient masters and apprentices and teachers and students. Maybe some later generations of teachers think that "one day is a teacher and one life is a father", but Shi Bufan does not see it that way. In ancient times, the master was not only responsible for the education of the apprentice, but the apprentice could even inherit the mantle of the master, and some could even inherit the wealth of the master. In ancient times, apprentices were similar to the identity of career heirs, so it was natural for apprentices to treat them as masters. But the teacher of later generations was only a profession, a profession that made a living from teaching. I have never heard of a student who can inherit the teacher's career and directly inherit the teacher's wealth. Therefore, the teacher-student relationship in later generations is not the relationship between the heir and the inherited, and naturally cannot be treated with the ancient master-apprentice standard. According to the principle of equal rights and responsibilities, the ancient master cultivated the apprentice as an heir, almost as a son, and the apprentice should treat the master as a father. However, the vast majority of later generations of teachers did not regard their students as heirs, so it was absolutely unreasonable for them to respect them as lifelong fathers. If you don't treat him as a son, then don't let him treat you as a father.

But Qin Jiarui's younger brother Qin Jiacheng is an apprentice, a formal master in ancient times, not the kind of student in later generations. Even if the ancient master was only a registered disciple, his status was not bad. Who dares to bully Qin Jiacheng in the future, isn't that slapping Li Jing's face? Will Li Jing be better then? In the next twenty years, even after Li Jing dies, Huwei will still remain, so safety can be guaranteed within twenty years.

"Jia Rui, I have already found a new backer for my cheap brother-in-law, of course I also have my own ideas. In the future, I think I can deepen the connection with Li Jing through the relationship with my brother-in-law Jiacheng. We can even consider deepening the relationship between General Li Jing's future apprentices, so that we can have better human relations. The reason why I asked Jiacheng to go to apprenticeship is also because I have such an idea. In this world, only by deepening the relationship and forming a network of relationships, one will prosper and both lose will be the most fundamental. There is no one in this world who can really fight alone, so I took advantage of your brother and hoped that you would not blame me. Shi Bufan said.

Qin Jiarui also said: "Can I still be separated?" Aren't we now just a prosper and a loser? ”

Shi Bufan recognized this, Shi Bufan and Qin Jiarui were both prosperous and loss-making. If Qin Jiarui is not extraordinary, then her money and tea business will definitely be embezzled. But if Shi Bufan didn't have Qin Jiarui's wealth, then the political capital would be much less, so their relationship would already be both prosperous and lossy.

"Of course, letting your younger brother go to apprenticeship is also to deepen the relationship with Li Jing." Shi Bufan said.

Shi Bufan let Qin Jiacheng, his brother-in-law, go to apprenticeship, in fact, it is nothing more than to strengthen the connection with Li Jing, and even deepen the connection with Li Jing's apprentice in the future. In the future, Li Jing's apprentice is Su Dingfang, this Su Dingfang is also a famous general, and it is more appropriate that he is from a poor family, not from a scholar family. Although Li Jing is a small person in the Guanlong Group, although Li Jing was born in Guanlong, his status in the Guanlong Group is very low, far from being compared with the ancestors of Li Tang's royal family and Yang Sui's royal family. In addition, after all, the Guanlong Group is a martial artist, and it is far more lenient in terms of rules and restrictions than those pedantic Shandong scholars, so it is not impossible to accept a poor family as an apprentice and career successor.

As long as his brother-in-law can become Li Jing's apprentice, even if it is only a registered one, he will be Su Dingfang's senior brother or junior brother in the future. According to the entry before and after, it is said that the senior brother, but according to the age, it is said that the junior brother. When the time comes, his brother-in-law will have a friendship with him, so is he embarrassed not to give himself face?

"Hey, life is a relationship everywhere! In China, without a huge network, it's really hard to get around. The scholars are nothing more than to catch a huge network of relationships to maintain, otherwise they would have replaced the old with a new generation. As a poor family, in addition to the congenital deficiencies in learning, more importantly, there are many fewer than the scholars in this relationship network, and there are not too many relationship networks to rely on, so it is naturally difficult to fight alone. Only by weaving our network can we truly have the capital to stand at the peak of this Datang. Otherwise, the consequences will inevitably collapse in the end. Shi Bufan thought.

Shi Bufan is actually weaving his own relationship network, especially the relationship network between various characters and talents. Ancient China was an extreme humane society, and the importance attached to human relations was as great as in the 21st century, and even a hundred times and a thousand times heavier. Why have those noble clans been able to monopolize officialdom and maintain it all the time, claiming that there is no thousand-year-old dynasty but a thousand-year-old family? In fact, it was because their relationship network was too complicated, and although there were fights between their clans, there were also marriages. Their vast network of marriages over hundreds of years is enough to make them both prosperous and disadvantaged. As long as one moves, then everyone is a grasshopper on a rope, fighting against foreign enemies together.

Therefore, when the Hanmen and the Shi clan compete, it is not one-on-one, but one person against several families, which of course suffers.

"Jia Rui, in the future, after your brother has this relationship network, he can spread out even more, so as to form a huge core. Whether it is a business or an official, it all depends on the network. There are absolutely very few people in this world who really rely on their own technology to make a fortune. Even if you have good things, you have to rely on your network and various business methods to get out, which is fundamental. Shi Bufan said.

Shi Bufan attaches great importance to the network, but it is not the kind of simple hope to find relatives through the back door. If it is a natural relationship network in the family, then it is naturally a "spelling father". But if it's the network of relationships and connections that you've worked hard to weave, then that's what you're capable of. Many people hate this "relationship", but what should really be hated are those who use relationships to disrupt normal procedures, and it is not that any relationship is wrong. As long as you don't disrupt the normal procedures, don't use abnormal means to hit the other party, and don't deliberately damage the public and private interests, then finding some relationships is also a normal connection.

In ancient times, the internal move did not avoid relatives, and the external move did not avoid hatred, and even became a model. As long as the public interests are not damaged and the normal procedures are followed, it is completely okay to play the role of the relationship network within the scope allowed by the rules.

"Jia Rui, in the future, I hope that through our wealth, official position, and ideology, we will form a group that spans politics, business and science, so that we can have capital to survive. Only by weaving our various relationship networks can we truly survive in this Datang and survive better. Otherwise, if we go it alone in the future, we will inevitably suffer. Those scholars will not let us rise from the cold, but if we want to get rid of the oppression of the scholars, we can only work hard. Politics, business, and science are indispensable. Shi Bufan said.

What Shi Bufan wants to form in the future is actually a three-pronged political and commercial academic community, using politics to protect business and financial resources, and disseminating academic ideas through politics. And through the financial resources to also feed back to maintain politics, to ensure that the political status will not be reduced, or even further. And academic thought is no exception, for example, Shi Bufan's psychology can effectively provide a theoretical basis for the rise of the cold, and the rise of the cold door in the past could not find a "theoretical basis", so the hearts of the students from the poor family are scattered. However, with the guidance of academic thought, it provides a cohesive ideological concept, and its role in uniting people's hearts cannot be underestimated.

A political group without its own ideas has no future, and a political group that combines purely for the sake of interests is also loose, and may be cohesive for the sake of interests, and tomorrow it will fall apart for the sake of interests. As a political group, it is true that it must have common interests, but it cannot be maintained for a long time just for the sake of interests, and only when it has its own governing philosophy and long-term governing ideology can it be truly stable. The ideal thing seems to be useless, and many descendants don't know what the ideal is. However, the people who really achieve great things are often a group of people who share the same ideals. Although it may seem "silly", the cohesion brought by it should not be underestimated. There are definitely countless times less infighting in a group with ideals than in groups without ideals, and even if there is fighting, it is for the good of everyone, not for their own small calculations. A team does not depend on the size of the number of people and financial resources, but on the cohesion. A group that doesn't even have cohesion, hundreds of millions of people and billions of hearts, that's also in vain.

Only by developing together in terms of political wealth and ideology can we become a group with huge cohesion. If there is a missing link between the three, it will not succeed. Any political group that can achieve great things will not lack these three, without a political regime, it will not be able to protect wealth and implement ideas, and without wealth, it will not be able to maintain political power, without a common idea, then it will inevitably fall apart in the end and have no combat effectiveness.

"This time, through my cheap brother-in-law's apprentice Li Jing, that can be regarded as a future layout. Once Su Dingfang became Li Jing's apprentice, he was my brother-in-law's brother-in-law, so I had an important helper in the generals. There is Liu Renliang on the civilian official's side, as for Ren Yaxiang and Xin Mao, these two can be regarded as vicious dogs that can be released to bite people, but they can definitely not be reused. These two guys don't have ideals, but because of this, it's still very good to be a vicious dog. Next, with the help of Tang Jian, it is not impossible for them to be admitted to the imperial examination next year, which can be regarded as an entry. Next, we have to find a way to bring more people in, so that it is also a good choice to pull people through the network. According to the theory of six degrees of separation, the distance between any two people is only six people, it just depends on whether you can find it. ”

Shi Bufan's plan is to use the network of interpersonal relationships to attract people, because according to later research, the network of relationships between people is actually just a network of six people away. Even if an ordinary farmer is far away from Emperor Li Shimin, in fact, there are only six people. It's just that the vast majority of people can't find this network route. However, this does not prevent Shi Bufan from using it, as long as he can use this network to attract people in one by one, he can become a huge party. At that time, Shi Bufan grasped the official position with one hand, and then mastered the financial resources, and even put forward the corresponding academic theories, so that Shi Bufan would become their natural leader.

Shi Bufan really felt that the early years of the Tang Dynasty were too dangerous, and his fate was often not in his own hands. Li Shimin, the emperor, can let you get out of the way with a word, if it weren't for Shi Bufan's good at financial management and handling foreign affairs, coupled with the ability to debate, Shi Bufan would have been kicked out by Li Shimin long ago. Wei Chigong was extremely loyal to Li Shimin, but Li Shimin had to kick Wei Chigong away because of the pressure of the scholars, so whether it was voluntary or forced, it was very dangerous, and Shi Bufan had to pay attention to this.

Only by ensuring that we are strong as much as possible and pulling more people into our own interest groups can we ensure everyone's stability as much as possible. This is also the characteristic of human beings who live in groups, and humans are not solitary creatures, but social creatures. It is inevitable to unite in the face of danger, so Shi Bufan can only expand his own network and interest groups as much as possible in order to ensure his own stability and everyone's stability. Only with the support of interest groups, such wealth is not false, but can exist for a long time. Otherwise, people can take back a word, then this is a tragedy. (To be continued.) )
