Chapter 177: Apprenticeship

Many people who have been on the battlefield for many years will have a very shocking temperament, which is the temperament of a veteran on the battlefield for many years, and it is difficult for ordinary people to have. This kind www.biquge.info of fierce temperament is different from official prestige and from the so-called fierce temperament in general, and this kind of righteousness is almost difficult to have in general. This kind of thing is a kind of bearing that can only be found with a firm and noble inner character, and this kind of thing generally appears in soldiers.

Li Jing can also be regarded as a veteran, and now he looks at this twelve-year-old Qin Jiacheng with this kind of eagle-like gaze. Qin Jiacheng felt as if he was being targeted by a fierce leopard, and this feeling was very bad. Although this Li Jing's martial arts are not high in fact, it can even be said that he is old, even if he has been trained, he will not get any better. But human beings are like this, human beings do not look at physical fitness, but mainly rely on wisdom. Therefore, Li Jing's deterrent power has not only not decreased, but has increased dramatically day by day.

Although Qin Jiacheng had been warned by Shi Bufan in advance, saying that Li Jing would most likely test him, but now that they had just met, the first small test had also come. Shi Bufan didn't help Qin Jiacheng either, because he knew that if he had even passed the first small test, it would be impossible to get Li Jing to help. Although he thinks that his relationship with Li Jing is okay, but if he wants Li Jing to help train, it is not just a matter of having face from time to time, and he must also fight for anger, otherwise he will lose Li Jing's face.

After a full five or six seconds, Li Jing said: "Okay, it's still okay, I'll give you the county man a face, and discipline him for you." ”

Qin Jiacheng felt that he was under a lot of pressure just now, and he was about to collapse. I have received this kind of threat since I was a child, and although I dare not say that I am rich and expensive since I was a child, I have no worries about food and clothing. The father is an old man, so he is naturally in love, and his mother hopes to take him as the foundation to get a worry-free life, which is also very fond of him.

But now he is five or six seconds, and the usual time has passed in an instant, but this time it seems like a thousand years have passed.

"Shi County man, since he came, he will go in and sit, and the old man can be regarded as idle. In fact, the old man is not good at dealing with these prison matters at all, so he entrusts his subordinates to do it, and this is what I do. Li Jing said.

Shi Bufan and Li Jing both knew that this criminal department secretary was just a transfer, and the real position given to Li Jing was the military department secretary, so Li Jing actually didn't care about the affairs of this criminal department, he just had to spend a period of time with peace of mind, so why bother?

Shi Bufan walked into Li Jing's house, Li Jing asked his housekeeper to take that Qin Jiacheng to rest, and in the next period of time, he would take Qin Jiacheng to train and train according to the army's methods. It seems that the butler is also a veteran, and there should be no problem with training.

"General Li, after so many years, you don't know if you have any plans to accept apprentices?" Shi Bufan asked.

"Apprentices?" Li Jing said in a rhetorical tone.

Shi Bufan said: "General Li allows me to say something that I don't like, you are already in your fifties, and your life has reached the end of your life. You are also a generation of famous generals, why not take advantage of this time to still have the energy to teach apprentices to accept an apprentice and pass on your mantle. Otherwise, in the future, your ability will not be broken, what a pity! ”

Shi Bufan is still polite, just saying that this Li Jing is at the end of his life. Of course, Shi Bufan probably knows that the normal life expectancy of Chinese during the Tang Dynasty was about fifty years old, and Du Fu also has a famous sentence called "visiting the old half as a ghost", which means that people around fifty years old are often about the normal life span of humans during the Tang Dynasty.

Of course, there are a small number of people at the top of the society who are pampered and can live a long life after exercising. However, those low-level literati at the bottom, and even at the bottom of society, generally have a lifespan of about 50 years. Of course, the longevity of those nobles is not a real basis. is like an eighty-year-old person like Pei Ju, which is definitely rare. Therefore, it is more polite to say that this Li Jing is at the end of his life, and he almost didn't say that Li Jing may burp at any time.

Shi Bufan took advantage of this time to persuade Li Jing to accept apprentices, so that someone could inherit the mantle and avoid breaking the inheritance. Once Li Jing is older at a later stage, even if he doesn't die, it will be difficult for him to have the energy to teach his disciples, and it will not be worth it.

"This ...... It's the same saying! It's a pity that for so many years, I haven't met a suitable person, either the talent is incompatible, or the character is a little flawed, etc., in short, I haven't met a suitable person. Li Jing said.

Li Jing's apprentice was originally Su Dingfang, but Su Dingfang has not really been able to emerge at present, although he has been on the road once, and he fought with Liu Heimin. However, although Su Dingfang may have served in the Tang Dynasty army, he is not famous, and even Shi Bufan does not know where he is. However, it is also possible to persuade Li Jing to accept apprentices.

However, Li Jing is obviously not very satisfied with the apprentices he has met over the years, thinking that either he is not talented or his character is not good, which is problematic.

Of course, Shi Bufan also used to belong to teachers, so he naturally probably understands the psychology of these people.

"General Li, in fact, you are a photographer, you have actually used yourself as a reference for so many years to select apprentices. But how many years does it take for someone as good as you to have one? General Li, there are only a few geniuses in this world, and if you use yourself as a reference, you will definitely not be able to get many candidates in the end. Therefore, a genius like you, who happens once in a hundred years, and in the end you use yourself as a reference, you will often not be able to achieve much in the end. ”

"General Li, there are not many geniuses, so I think you should lower your standards and pass on your mantle first. The so-called water is clear, there are no fish, and there are no disciples when people are observed, and if you choose disciples so strictly, you will often not be able to choose at all in the end. No one is a saint or a sage, and even if he is a saint, he doesn't dare to say that he is absolutely wrong, so isn't it picking a bone in an egg when you do this? ”

"I think the real value is not bad conduct or other aspects, bad talent can be changed through hard work, as long as you are diligent and willing to work hard, it is not impossible to catch up. Confucius said that there is no class in teaching, and I think the meaning of the sage is multiple, one is to tell us that people at any level can be educated, and they cannot be deprived of the qualification to study and receive education because of their background or others. On the other hand, he is also telling us that people are born with high and low talents, and some people may have lower talents, but they can make up for it through education. But General Li, if you don't even teach like this, that means you don't give others a chance, it's not appropriate for you to do this! Let me take a step back and say, if you don't get the opportunity to be educated when you become General Li, then how can you learn your skills, General Li? ”

"As for character, in fact, as long as it is not a great traitor, then what? As long as you are willing to take the initiative to correct and take the initiative to correct your mistakes, you are also a good person, and there is no need to pursue a morally perfect person from the beginning. There is no such thing as a morally perfect person, so you are too strict. As long as he is willing to make corrections, that person is still a good person. ”

Li Jing thought for a long time, and then finally said: "It seems that I want to go wrong, and sure enough, as you said, I am too picky." If I use my yardstick as a yardstick, then I will naturally not find any disciples. I have always hoped that my successor would not embarrass me, but I did not expect that I would be able to achieve my achievements long ago in the right place and in the same place. It seems that I have thought that I have gone wrong, and I have completely pinned my disciple's future achievements on my teachings, which is not okay. Whether he can really be no less than me, it still depends on himself. ”

"However, education alone will not educate successful people. If you want to succeed, you have to rely on your own efforts, and education only gives him a foundation, as for whether he is a dragon or a worm, it all depends on him. The master leads the door to practice in an individual, but too many people pursue a famous teacher. A famous teacher certainly has a high starting point, but how can a hundred years of life think that having a famous teacher is a foregone conclusion? I think that as long as General Li fulfills his duty and passes on what he has learned, he will be worthy of anyone. Shi Bufan said.

Li Jing asked: "Shi County male, I heard that you have a lot of experience in teaching talents, do you have talents to recommend to me?" ”

Shi Bufan pointed to Qin Jiacheng next to him and said, "What do you think of this?" ”

"Him?" Li Jing frowned.

Shi Bufan actually said so much, that is, he hoped that Li Jing would accept the apprentice, and the first apprentice to accept the apprentice was this Qin Jiacheng. As for whether this Qin Jiacheng can really learn anything from Li Jing, in fact, Bufan is not worried at this time. Shi Bufan has his own ideas, he doesn't really want this Qin Jiacheng to go to the battlefield to command the war.

Of course, the shopping mall is like a battlefield, if he can apply what he learned from Li Jing to the shopping mall, it is not completely impossible. The bosses of many large enterprises also respect Sun Tzu's Art of War, and many military ideas and concepts can even be applied to the shopping mall, and some of the experience in the shopping mall can even be used in military management. There is no absolutely separate discipline in this world, only people who will not connect with the application.

Shi Bufan took advantage of Li Jing's hesitation and hurriedly said to Qin Jiacheng: "Qin Jiacheng, why don't you hurry up and take out your things and hurry up to apprentice?" “

Although Qin Jiacheng didn't know who this Li Jing was, he knew that his cheap "brother-in-law" was a person who was respected and feared, and the old man in his fifties in front of him obviously had a much higher status, and even his "cheap brother-in-law" had to be respected. It is also a good choice for being able to apprentice.

Whether it is in ancient times or in later generations, having a good master is not only a progress in learning, but also a huge boost for life development. A good teacher's network can be said to be enough to become a ladder for students to progress, this kind of thing is not only not nothing, but as a university lecturer, Shi Bufan has seen more than too much. Recommending employment is still simple, and even if an official chooses the right master, there are many shortcuts to the development of his career.

Of course, Qin Jiacheng also knew this truth, and hurriedly took out the bacon to prepare to present to Li Jing.

Li Jing exclaimed: "Are you even ready to tie your belly?" It seems that I am being calculated by you again? “

Shi Bufan smiled and said nothing, this time he had already prepared Li Jing, and this time he even prepared bacon. This bacon is a custom left by an apprenticeship of Confucius in ancient times, and he doesn't ask for too much money, just ask for some bacon. Bacon represents sincerity, because although there are not many people who eat meat in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, as long as you are willing to look for it with your heart, you can always find it. After all, there are so many wild animals everywhere, you can get them by catching a few grazing animals.

There aren't many people who eat meat, but if you're sincere, you can get it. If you don't even get bacon, it can only say that you are not sincere. Even if you are not sincere in your apprenticeship, how can you prove that you are sincere in learning?

So later this kind of bondage is also a kind of culture, of course, some people take the opportunity to use it as an excuse for all kinds of gifts and bribes. Good customs have been used badly by some people with ulterior motives, and they are by no means a minority.

Of course, Shi Bufan doesn't come up with any expensive gifts, and Li Jing is not short of this. If Shi Bufan came up with any expensive gifts, then I am afraid that this will not be good, and their relationship will become full of copper stench.

"Well, in that case, then I'll take it first. But this is just a name, now I have been practicing here for two years, if I am satisfied with the inspection after two years, then I can officially accept the apprentice. At present, there is only one registered disciple, and whether he can become a real disciple depends on his own efforts. If you don't work hard, you'll just be a registered disciple for the rest of your life, understand? Li Jing said.

Shi Bufan hurriedly said: "I haven't thanked General Li yet, you know how many people want to become General Li's registered disciples, but they can't be found!" ”

"Thank you, General Li, thank you, General Li!" Qin Jiacheng said.

Obviously, Li Jing is giving Shi Bufan face, of course, he will definitely not be able to accept him as an official apprentice. Although Li Jing doesn't plan to continue to follow the strict standards of the past, it is not a cat or a dog. Therefore, after two years of investigation, it can be seen from talent to conduct and hard work, so Li Jing first accepted a named apprentice, but if he can have the ability, then it is also possible to become a real apprentice in the future.

And Shi Bufan smiled, his plan was completed, and he successfully got closer to Li Jing and enriched his relationship network. (To be continued.) )
