On the second day of the fourth month of April, the festive drum music sounded again in the "Qingyuan" of Liangxiang County, and the third wedding of this year officially kicked off.

This wedding, like Wang Feng's wedding in the first month, adopts the customs and methods of this era. For the process of the wedding, everyone is already familiar with it, so the wedding went smoothly. Wang Kunjun went out of Liangxiang City with a welcoming team early in the morning, and entered Youzhou City all the way, taking the little sister of the Han family back to "Qingyuan".

Entering the gate of the "Qing Garden", after a series of cumbersome procedures, a couple of newlyweds came to the happy hall. After Wang and Han worshipped heaven and earth, they turned around and stood facing the elders on both sides and began to bow to the high hall twice. Han Qingwen's side is naturally his parents, and Wang Kunjun's side invited the old fairy of Fuyaozi to accept this gift as the man's parents. Although this Fuyaozi is a native of the Later Zhou Dynasty, his fame has long transcended national boundaries and is familiar to people all over the world, almost to the extent that he is a household name. Therefore, when the guests present learned that the man's elder was Chen Lu's ancestor, the scene immediately became more enthusiastic, except for the crossing crowd, the other guests rushed forward, wanting to see the demeanor of this living immortal.

In the face of this situation, Fu Yaozi did not show any discomfort, and still had a calm expression, as if he didn't see the guests below at all, Shi Shiran accepted a pair of newcomers' bows. After worshipping the high hall, Wang and Han worshiped each other as husband and wife, and this was considered to have completed the whole process of worshipping the hall and were sent to the cave room, where there were a series of ceremonies waiting for them.

After all the procedures that should be gone were completed, when the young couple came to toast the guests, Han Qingwen's face was already a little tired. Although Wang Kunjun didn't feel tired physically, the tedious process also made him feel a little bored. However, as the protagonist of today's wedding, no matter how annoying it is, you have to hold on. The two toasted and thanked the guests one by one, and Wang Kunjun was unexpectedly held down by the bachelors in the crossing team, if it weren't for Wang Feng and Zhang Weixin blocking the wine on the side, I was afraid that he would have been poured down before the toast.

Over there, Wang Kunjun was being poured wine, but here Fu Yaozi and his disciple Yu Xuozi were talking and laughing, while drinking slowly, and they drank quite comfortably. However, the mind of the old fairy of Fuyaozi was not on drinking, but on Han Qingwen beside Wang Kunjun. Of course, the old fairy was not attracted by Han Qingwen's beauty, he was carefully observing the little girl's face. Looking at it, Fuyaozi couldn't help frowning slightly, and let out a light "huh". Yu Xuzi next to him knew that Master Tai was very good at getting along with people, so after seeing Fu Yaozi's expression, he hurriedly asked, "Master Tai, what's wrong with the fate of this little lady of the Han family?" ”

Fuyaozi shook his head and said, "Definitely." This lady of the Han family has a very good life, she is a rich and noble person, and she is quite a match for Kun Jun. ”

"In that case, why is Master Tai frowning?" Yu Xuzi asked puzzled.

"The frowning of the teacher is not because the Han family's lady has a bad fate," Fu Yaozi explained, "but because the teacher saw from her face that she was destined to have no children in this life." ”

"Doomed to have no children?" Yu Xuozi was also a little surprised when he heard this, and then said to himself: "She is the main room of the junior brother of Kunjun, if she has no children, then the disciple should persuade the junior brother to marry a few concubines as soon as possible, so as not to have no successors." ”

Fu Yaozi shook his head again and said: "Your junior brother Kun Jun will not have no successor, judging from his face, he is a man with many sons and grandchildren and a prosperous family. ”

"That's good, that's good." Hearing Master Tai say that Master Kuo Jun's disciple Sun Mantang, Yu Xuzi was also relieved.

Unlike Yuxuzi, Fuyaozi did not breathe a sigh of relief because of this. He had always been very confident in his ability to meet people, but it was this confidence that made him feel a little strange today. Han Qingwen's childlessness in her life is in stark contrast to Wang Kunjun's many sons and grandchildren, and this contrast is by no means explained by Wang Kunjun's marriage to many concubines. It's just that the old fairy can't understand the reason for it for a while.

The lively wedding banquet did not disperse until late at night, and after sending off the guests from all sides, the "Qing Garden" finally quieted down. Wang Kunjun and Wang Da Leader naturally went to the cave room to spend the candle night with Xiao Meimei, and among the other team members, they all went to sleep after drinking sex, and they all went back to their rooms to continue drinking. Only Zhang Weixin and Xu Shao'an did not go back to their residence, but came to Fuyaozi's room, intending to ask Master Tai to stay in the "Qingyuan" for a few more days in the name of all the disciples, so that they could have a chance to serve Master Tai. Although Fuyaozi likes to be quiet, he can't help but give the disciples the opportunity to express their filial piety, so he nodded and agreed. Zhang and Xu were very happy when they saw that Master Tai had agreed to their request, and they immediately got busy until they fell asleep while serving Fuyaozi, and then respectfully withdrew from the room.

Early the next morning, Wang Kunjun, who got the news, brought all the people who had visited the master to greet the master, and after that, all the food and daily life of Fuyaozi were taken care of by them, the disciples of the second generation, and no one in the house was allowed to interfere.

Seeing that all the junior brothers took care of Master Tai so wholeheartedly, Yu Xuzi was also very pleased. Because he still needed to preside over the affairs in the Yuxu Palace, after staying for three days, he was ready to resign to Master Tai and return to the Yuxu Palace. However, he kept Qingchen to serve in the presence of Master Tai on his behalf.

Wang Kunjun and other traversers who had worshiped the teacher still had a very good relationship with this senior brother, and when they heard that he was leaving, they all kept him. Helplessly, there was only one breeze on the side of the Yuxu Palace, and Yuxuzi was still relieved after all, so he had to refuse the kindness of the juniors and disciples and leave the "Qingyuan".

After sending off Yuxuzi, everyone returned to their posts and continued their work. Among the four committee members, Xu Shaoan went to discuss with Qian Yuanshan and Zeng Zhilin about the operational training of the pro-soldier squad, while Li Junwu went straight to the assembly room of the flintlock pistol to help Zhou Lei and others assemble the guns, and strive to let the pro-soldier squad have a gun as soon as possible so that they can carry out firearms training. And Wang Kunjun took Zhang Weixin back to his residence, ready to take advantage of this time to let him tell him about "Dream of Red Mansions" to himself, so as to deal with the little sister of the Han family who had just married into the door.

As soon as he talked about this, Wang Kunjun had a headache. Although the little sister of the Han family has only been married for a few days, because she and Zhong Ziqi are best friends, the two of them get together every day, either playing chess, playing cards, or hiding in the room and whispering. Naturally, Han Qingwen heard from Zhong Ziqi that Wang Feng told her about "A Dream of Red Mansions", and immediately became interested in this novel, and the result was that our leader Wang had the same job as Wang Feng every night - to tell the story of "A Dream of Red Mansions" to his little sister. ,

Although Wang Kunjun had ridiculed Wang Feng for not reading, after the matter was spread on his head, he found that he didn't seem to read much more books than his cousin, and in order to tell his wife the story of "Dream of Red Mansions", he had to turn to Professor Zhang Da for help. As a result, listening to "Professor Zhang" talk about "Red Mansions" every day has become a compulsory course for him and Wang Feng. Today is no exception, and Wang Feng, who is suffering from the same illness as him, is also following closely behind, preparing to receive a classical literature education with his cousin.

The three of them entered the living room of Wang Kunjun's residence and each found a seat to sit down. Zhang Weixin took a sip of the tea sent by Yahuan, cleared his throat, and spoke like a storyteller: "Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for the novel to be broadcast again, and today we are talking about "Dream of Red Mansions". As mentioned last time, Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden for the second time, so let's continue today. Let's say, Jia Mu heard that there was a ......"

Zhang Weixin was just about to start talking about Mother Jia looking for Grandma Liu to chat, when there was a knock on the door, and then he heard someone ask outside, "Is Lao Wang here?" ”。 Listening to the voice, it should be Liang Ziyue, Wang Kunjun answered the door and let Liang Ziyue into the house.

After Liang Ziyue sat down, Wang Feng quipped on the side: "Liang Zi, why are you so idle today, and you also came to listen to Teacher Zhang's story." Could it be that my younger siblings are also interested in "Dream of Red Mansions" and force you to tell her about it, and if you don't talk about it, you won't be allowed to go to bed? ”

Liang Ziyue seemed to have something on his mind, and did not respond to Wang Feng's ridicule, but said to Wang Kunjun and Zhang Weixin with a serious face: "Lao Wang, Lao Zhang, I have something I want to talk to you about in private, I don't know if you have time?" ”

Wang and Zhang saw that he was solemn, and they also went to the heart of jokes, Wang Kunjun said: "Of course there is time, look at your serious face, is there something big in the personnel audit?" ”

Liang Ziyue shook his head and said, "It's not a problem with personnel review, I want to talk to you about the problems within the team." ”

"What's wrong with the team?" Wang Kunjun and Zhang Weixin asked almost in unison.

Liang Ziyue sorted out his thoughts a little and said, "As you know, I was a criminal police officer before the crossing, so I have a strong observation ability, especially paying more attention to various details. It is precisely because of this characteristic that the team entrusted me with the review work. Out of habit, I usually observe not only from outside the team, but also from everyone within the team.

It's been almost a year since we came to this era, and I've basically observed all the team members for a year. From there, I found a few issues, some that could have a detrimental effect on the future development of the team. I felt that as a member of the team, I should report this to the committee. However, considering that once the relevant situation is made public, it may cause unnecessary conflicts within the team, I still want to discuss with the two of you first to see how to deal with it. ”

Speaking of this, Liang Ziyue paused slightly, looked up at Wang and Zhang, and found that they were both listening to their narration very carefully, and then continued: "I have found many problems, but there are two of the most important and the most difficult to solve.

The first one is in terms of decision-making by the team. At the very beginning of our journey, there was a plenary meeting, from which the committees were elected, and the heads and members of the functional groups were appointed. At that time, the functions of the committee were relatively limited, and many major decisions were voted on by the plenary meeting, and they had to be re-elected every six months or a year. However, as time went on and everyone had more and more work at hand, the number of plenary meetings became less and less, and the decisions of the team were basically decided by the committee, or the enlarged meeting of the committee, including the heads of the functional groups, and the members of the team who did not have relevant positions were gradually marginalized in the decision-making process.

Now, because the team has just established its foundation, the distributable benefits are still relatively limited, and the distribution method is fairly fair, so no member has expressed dissatisfaction with this phenomenon for the time being. However, this does not mean that these marginalized members will always be content with the status quo, and the situation may change once the team's career has developed greatly and the distributable benefits have become richer. If these people are unhappy with the distribution of benefits, they may question the decision-maker, creating distrust within the team. If this distrust is not effectively addressed, these people will naturally appeal to decision-making power, and if this demand is not met, in extreme cases, it is likely to lead to a split in the team. On the other hand, if team members do not feel uncomfortable with this concentration of decision-making power, then the team's decision-making power may become more and more centralized, and eventually there will be a situation where the individual is arbitrary, thus completely destroying the team's decision-making system.

The second problem is about the emergence of small groups and factions within the team. It can be said that this problem has been there since we crossed over. In the meantime, through Lao Wang's unremitting efforts, it has been resolved, but recently, I have found that this factional phenomenon has reared its head again, and it seems to be getting more and more intense. On the surface, though, everyone can show a cooperative attitude and do their best to complete the tasks assigned by the team. But I'm sure that as time goes by, the boundaries between these factions will become clearer and clearer, and the ideological divisions between different factions will become more and more obvious, and the contradictions between factions will be inevitable. In this case, it will cause internal friction in the team and affect the development of the team. And if the conflict intensifies, the result can also lead to a split in the team. In this social context, I think everyone knows very well what the outcome of team splitting will be.

As I said earlier, once these issues are brought to the Committee or the plenary for public discussion, there is a risk that there will be unnecessary contradictions, so I have come to you and communicated with you first. I hope that a solution to the problem can be found without going through the Committee or the plenary. In this way, the factors of instability will be eliminated, and the contradictions will not break out in advance. That's all I have to say, I wonder if you two agree with me? Would you like to work with me on both of these challenges? ”

After speaking, Liang Ziyue stared at Wang Kunjun and Zhang Weixin, who were sitting opposite him, waiting for their answers. Although Liang Ziyue raised two questions, for him, the latter one was the most concerned. In fact, with Liang Ziyue's shrewdness and insight, he knows very well that the initiator of the current team faction boundaries is becoming clearer and clearer is Zhang Weixin in front of him. Although he didn't know much about Zhang Weixin's motives for doing this, he could still tell that Zhang Weixin did not do this to break up the team. He didn't come to Wang and Zhang today to express his opposition, let alone to ask about the guilt, but more to conduct a kind of temptation, and he hoped to observe the reactions of the two of them by putting the question in front of Wang and Zhang, so as to be able to figure out the reason why Zhang Weixin did this. As for the first question, it is more of a cover and a foreshadowing, in order to avoid going straight to the topic and creating a false impression on the other party, misjudging the purpose of his question, and distrusting him, so as not to tell him the truth. ,

Although Liang Ziyue is young, he has a lot of social experience and is very good at observation. During this time, he had faintly felt that Zhang Weixin was planning something around Wang Kunjun, and he felt that Wang Kunjun's status seemed to be changing. The weight of his words seems to be getting heavier and heavier within the team, and the identity of his team leader seems to be more and more recognized outside the team, and more and more contemporary people who deal with the team begin to regard Wang Kunjun as a team leader. This perception of identity is still a little vague, but as the saying goes, "habit becomes nature", once this identity is set, it is not easy to change it - it may be possible within the team, but it will be quite difficult outside the team. Especially now that Wang Kunjun has married the daughter of an official eunuch, and his cousin has also married the daughter of Zhong Yuanwai, the daughter of the local snake, these two family affairs are equivalent to double insurance for their brothers. If you really want to pull Wang Kunjun down from the position of leader, don't say that his father-in-law, who was an official in the Nanjing Left-behind Mansion, will not agree, and even Zhong Yuanwai will not agree. At that point, the team will not only face the problem of division, but also some team members will get killed. After all, this was in the 10th century AD, and it was effortless for the officials to deal with them, who were powerless and rootless outsiders.

It was precisely because he felt this kind of change, and considering the possible impact of this change, that Liang Ziyue decided to take a risk. In his opinion, as a member of the team, it is time to take a stand, or to put it in layman's terms, it is time for him Liang Ziyue to "stand in line". What he is doing now is to put forward the problems that the team may face because of Zhang Weixin's actions, and see if Wang Kunjun and Zhang Weixin have a solution. If these two people have the certainty of solving these problems, then naturally there is nothing to say, whether it is from the perspective of proximity and proximity, or from the support of Liliang behind him, he will not hesitate to choose to stand on Wang Kunjun's side. If Wang and Zhang don't have the certainty to solve these problems, or don't take them seriously, then I'm afraid he will have to think carefully about his future way out. Now that the words have been spoken, the only thing Liang Ziyue can do is to wait, waiting for Wang and Zhang's answers, waiting for the other party to give him a chance to take a stand.

PS: Here the idler first of all to the book friend acblong brother in the book review area serious comments to express gratitude, this chapter and the next chapter is a partial response to the question raised by acblong, as for the advantages and disadvantages of the decision-making system, the idler thinks everyone can discuss more, see the wisdom.
