Chapter 52: The Deception of One Word

Wang Gui said: "You are too good at it, this cloak was bought in the best store you said, how can you still divide it into three, five, nine and so on." ”

Jiang Zhenzi's face twitched a few times, and he slowly explained: "You think wrong, it's not that this cloak is divided into three, five, nine, and so on, but that I asked you to procure it, to buy this cloak, how did you do this matter." Whether you do well or not, this can be divided into levels. ”

Wang Gui took out the cloak, stuffed it into Jiang Zhenzi's arms, and said, "Old fat man, the cloak is here, tell me what level the cloak we bought?" Let me Wang Gui see and understand. ”

Jiang Zhenzi was still unhurried, holding the cloak with his left hand, raising a finger with his right hand, and said leisurely: "The first element of procurement is that the value of the goods is comparable. The value for money is superior, the value for money is medium, and the item below value is inferior. Do you tell me whether this cloak is worth the price or is it less than it's worth? ”

When Yue Fei heard this, he felt a little uneasy in his heart, but he couldn't think of what was wrong for a while.

Wang Gui and Zhang Xian glanced at each other, and smiled knowingly: "The cloak I bought is definitely worth the price." ”

Jiang Zhenzi also smiled and asked, "How can you see it?" ”

Wang Gui proudly told the old man behind the ear of "Longxingxing" how he misheard the words of the bookkeeper, and how he made a mistake and bought a cloak worth 17 taels of silver for 11 taels of silver.

Jiang Zhenzi turned his face to Yue Fei and asked, "You don't seem to know at all how this kid Wang Gui bought this cloak." ”

Yue Fei's face turned red, and before he could speak, Tang Huai interjected: "Why don't you just buy a cloak?" The king has a lot of money, so he can't buy it. ”

Jiang Zhenzi turned his head and asked Wang Gui: "How do you know that this large blue and white tribute satin cloak is worth seventeen taels of silver." ”

Wang Gui said confidently: "It was said by the bookkeeper of 'Longxingxing', and the whole number is seventeen yuan. The last sentence imitated the slightly hoarse voice of the bookkeeper, and the brothers laughed loudly.

Jiang Zhenzi also smiled, and smiled very comfortably, looking like a traitor, and said, "The bookkeeper said that it was seventeen times, and you didn't go to other stores to compare?" ”

The brothers were stunned.

"Let's make it clear to you boys who have never seen the world, lest you be self-righteous." Jiang Zhenzi continued: "That old guy and Mr. Bookkeeper have been cooperating for many years, and they call this trick 'Ear Back Dafa', which is specially used to deal with those outsiders or those who are greedy for small and cheap people. This cloak is worth up to five copper coins, and the bookkeeper and the old man are acting in this play, and you still think that there is a advantage to take advantage of, how can you not be fooled? ”

Wang Gui suddenly blushed and his ears were hot, and he said, "Such an honest old guy is actually a liar!! ”

Jiang Zhenzi asked the brothers: "I will remove a plate of dishes, can you agree?" ”

All the brothers didn't squeak, Jiang Zhenzi slapped twice, and a shopkeeper walked in, picked up the largest plate of beef in the center of the table, and took it out.

Jiang Zhenzi raised two fingers and said, "You are not the only one who has been deceived." ”

Brothers, you look at me, and you don't understand what Jiang Zhenzi said.

Jiang Zhenzi looked at Wang Gui and asked, "Where's your fabric?" ”

Wang Gui woke up suddenly, and asked Yue Fei, "Big brother, did you forget to take back the fabric?" ”

Yue Fei didn't know what Lu Dao was all about, and asked rhetorically, "What fabric?" I don't know what you're talking about? ”

Wang Gui was anxious and said, "Didn't you ask a junior guy in Longxing to come and ask me for five taels of silver, go to the fabric store next door to buy fabrics and send them back to the countryside?" ”

Yue Fei's heart sank, and he vaguely understood what was going on, but he still had to explain things clearly: "At that time, there was a junior man in the store who came over and received me very politely, introduced me to all kinds of clothes, and asked me my surname, I didn't notice for a while, so I told him my name, but I didn't let him do anything." ”

After hearing this, Wang Gui angrily pointed at Jiang Zhenzi and said, "I dare you to ask us to go to a black shop, a black shop that specializes in defrauding money." ”

Jiang Zhenzi slapped the table with a bang, and with a "bang", the dishes, chopsticks, plates and dishes on the table jumped up. Jiang Zhenzi said contemptuously: "I have made it very clear to your brothers that this is a medicine guide, do you know the Tao, it is a medicine guide used to test your ability to do things." Can I easily do the errand of the fat man? It's a medicine that is three parts poisonous, don't you understand? ”

The brothers were speechless and did not know how to argue.

Jiang Zhenzi's tone relaxed slightly, and he said slowly: "Do you think that these are the two mistakes you made? Far more than that, let me list them for you. After speaking, he stretched out a third finger and said: "Third, when you go to Longxingxing, the first time you go to Longxing, is not to do business first--- to buy a cloak, but to be attracted by the dazzling array of clothes in the store, and waste time; Fourth, the leader ignores and allows the people below to make decisions, and the communication between the top and bottom is not smooth; Fifth, the person handling is not right, misbehaves, and is greedy for small gains, resulting in being deceived; Sixth, don't shop around, don't scout the situation......"

Jiang Zhenzi counted seven or eight mistakes in one breath, and said in the end: "Is this matter worse than yours?" ”

The brothers were so ashamed that they almost wanted to get under the table.

Jiang Zhenzi sighed and said: "I won't make a fool of myself, so I'll give you a clue, I want to teach you this 'one-word art of war', one word is called 'deception', and there is only one word 'deception' in the entire art of war." But don't underestimate this word 'deception'. This word 'deception' is all-encompassing, broad and profound, and infinitely varied. For example, the world-famous 'Thirty-six Strategies', which one of them can leave this deception? Another example is the 'Dafa behind the ear' used by Nalong Xingxing, which includes the 36 strategies such as 'hiding from the sky and crossing the sea', 'striking the east and attacking the west', and 'creating something out of nothing'. ”

Jiang Zhenzi paused for a moment, put down his fingers, picked up the teacup, took a deep sip, and then said: "Why did I say this morning that the Chen Qiao Mutiny was the beginning of the 'one-word art of war', because the 'yellow robe' is the Zhao family brothers deceiving the world. For what I said, the cloak is a medicine, because it can allow you to experience the word 'deception' and take you to the beginning. Imagine how you will deal with yourself when you lead your own troops and have been deceived by the enemy before you go into battle to kill the enemy; Imagine what it would be like when you can skillfully use the word 'deception' and play with the enemy in the palm of your hand? This is why I always ask you not to look at the surface, but to be calm, not to be impetuous and superficial. ”

These words, like morning bells and dusk drums, shook the hearts of all the brothers, and also woke up Yue Fei, the youngest martial saint in Chinese history, ---
