"Yes, drink!" In the office, Director Shi said to Secretary Xiao. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Drinking? I understand! Secretary Xiao listened, pondered for a long time, and said: "This is called one thing descending one thing." ”
"One thing to one thing?" Director Shi asked, "How do you say it?" ”
"Think about it, after the leaders of the town government came forward, did they solve the problem of drilling?" Secretary Xiao asked rhetorically.
"Nope." Director Shi replied.
"So did the cadres of the village committee come forward and settle this problem?" Secretary Xiao asked again.
"Not either." Director Shi replied again.
"So you and I came forward to settle this matter, did you get this thing done?" Secretary Xiao then asked.
"It didn't work out either." Director Shi couldn't stand being teased by him, he was a little anxious, and asked Secretary Xiao: "Xiao Xiao, what kind of medicine is sold in your gourd?" ”
"Listen to me tell you in detail." Secretary Xiao was not in a hurry, and he was slow and reasonable: "So many people came forward, but they were not able to solve the problem of drilling, and Comrade Yang Guangzhi solved it as soon as he came out, which made me understand a truth." ”
"Oh! What is the truth? Tell me about it. Director Shi saw that he was not in a hurry, so he had to hold back his temperament and wanted to hear what Secretary Xiao had to say.
"Have you heard a story about Confucius when he traveled around the world?" Secretary Xiao asked.
"What story? I want to hear about it! "When Director Shi heard that there was a story, he couldn't help but be interested.
"Once, Master Confucius took a group of his disciples on a trip, and they came to the wilderness, but they couldn't go to the village or the store. Looking up at the white clouds in the sky, and looking at the crops on the ground from afar, Confucius suddenly came to teach people in Yaxing, he thought why not take the sky as the roof and the earth as the lecture hall, and have a unique public class with nature as the background? Thinking of this, he asked the coachman to pay the tax, and asked the disciples to sit in a circle on the ground. He asked his disciples to look at the beautiful scenery in front of them and look at their minds in order to observe their aspirations. As a result, the disciples expressed their intentions, and the comments of Master Confucius ended, and when they got up again to prepare to hurry, they found that the master's horse was missing. Master Confucius was in a hurry, so he ordered his disciples to scatter to look for him. For the Master could not travel without a carriage, and without a carriage without a horse, the cart would certainly not move. Now that only the carriage is erected here, and the horse is lost, Master Confucius can't let his disciples pull the carriage to hurry, right? It's not that Old Master Kong has a poor physique and can't walk like a disciple, but in fact, his body is tough! It is really a carriage for Confucius, a Confucian originator who leads by example everywhere, it is a symbol of status. Because in those days, not all people were qualified to ride in a carriage, and people above the rank of doctor had to travel in a carriage, otherwise it would be rude. Confucianism! He has always paid attention to dressing people, and Confucius is the ancestor of Confucianism, of course he can't let himself go to visit the princes with two big feet all day long, that would be too rude, right? ”
"Did the horse find it later?" Director Shi interrupted Secretary Xiao's mystery and asked bluntly.
"I found it, and I was taken home by a farmer and tied up. But the disciple who found the horse came back empty-handed and reported to Master Confucius, "Because your horse stole and ate other people's crops, my disciple and I told him a basket of good things, but the farmer was so stubborn that he wouldn't let me bring your horse back. As soon as Master Confucius heard this, he immediately came to the spirit, hey! That's a lot of fun! He never forgets to test the abilities of his disciples, and this time is certainly no exception. He looked at the disciples with his eyes to see that there was one who was willing to volunteer to get the horse back. At this time, one of the most eloquent students under his command named Duanmu Ci couldn't sit still. Duanmu Ci, Zigong, he stood up and said to the teacher, Master, you relax, I will go and get your horse back. Old Master Kong looked at him and nodded appreciatively, meaning that then you should try it. ”
"The horse is coming back?" Director Shi was a little impatient.
"Listen to me." Secretary Xiao still had an unhurried tone: "Mr. Duanmu Ci found the farmer with confidence, and humbly explained his intention to the farmer. After that, he began to write poems and said, "It is also a matter of heaven, and he has talked a lot of great truths. He spoke to the farmer for a few hours, but his legs and stomach were sore, and the farmer did not give him back the horse. There was no choice but to come back and talk to his teacher. Guess what Master Kong said to Zigong? ”
"What did you say?"
"Old Master Confucius said to Zigong, "Ah, if you don't come back to the horse, it's not the farmer's fault!" It's all your Zigong's mistake! When Zigong heard it, what was it? It's not that farmer scoundrel, it's my son Gong who is incompetent, I said Master, dare to ask if there is a way to say this? Confucius said, of course, there is a saying, when you go to the farmer to ask for a horse, you must be saying some big truths that people don't understand, which is a good comparison, for example, if you use the prison to sacrifice birds and beasts, and use "Jiu Shao" to delight the birds. What is Taigao? It is the most grand ritual when the ancient emperor sacrificed to his ancestors, and the three animals of cattle, sheep and pigs are all said to be too fast; What is "Nine Shao"? "Nine Shao" is the most solemn music ceremony of the temple when Emperor Shun worshipped. If you use the prison to sacrifice to the beasts, will the beasts pay attention to you? You use "Jiu Shao" to delight the birds, can the birds understand your piano sound? When Zigong heard this, the teacher seemed to have some truth, so he lowered his head and wilted. ”
"So the horse is not coming back?"
"I'm coming back. Master Confucius is a man who knows people and is good at being a master! This time he didn't send any of his students, but let his coachman go, and guess what, when the coachman got to the farmer, he said just one word, and the farmer happily took the horse back. ”
"What did the coachman say to the farmer?"
"The coachman said to the farmer, "Fellow, look, from the east to the west, such a large piece of land is your cultivated field, my horse is lost, it is not easy not to eat your crops!"
"Just that?" Director Shi asked.
"But isn't it, that's it." Secretary Xiao replied.
"There's nothing special about that, is it?"
"Yes! However, this sentence can contain two meanings, one is to praise the farmer for being very industrious and cultivating a lot of fields; The second is to praise the farmer for being very capable, saying that he has a large industry. The farmer was so pleased that he took the horse back, and when he heard that he had brought a bunch of hay with him! ”
"That's funny! As the saying goes, those who can talk make people laugh, and those who can't talk make people jump. Hey, no! I said Xiao Xiao, you told me so much in a roundabout way, what do you mean? ”
"Old history, that's it. My meaning is very simple, please allow me to tell you another allusion, and after listening to this allusion, you will understand what I mean. Secretary Xiao looked at Director Shi's puzzled expression, ignored it, and once again expanded his narrative: "This allusion is also related to that Duanmu Zigong." It was said that the powerful State of Qi was going to attack the weak State of Lu, and Old Master Kong was anxious when he heard the news, so he hurriedly gathered all the disciples together and said to everyone, the State of Lu is the state of our parents! The ancestral graves of our ancestors are buried there! Now that the country is in danger, its subjects cannot stand idly by! Let's see, who wants to go back and solve this problem? The disciples are you look at me, I look at you, and then a few people took the initiative to stand up, asking Ying to say that they want to go back to solve the problems of the motherland. But Old Master Kong shook his head when he looked at them and asked them to sit down, which means that you can't go back, and you can't solve any problems. Later, Duanmu Zigong stood up and said to the teacher nervously, Master, do you think I can go back and try? Old Master Kong was relieved, in fact, he had been waiting for Duanmu Zigong's words. So, he nodded satisfactorily and said, "Ah, if you go back, I will be relieved." The Zigong who stood up, that is, the Duanmu Zigong who went to the farmer and couldn't get back a horse, it didn't matter if he came out of the horse, the whole world changed for it. ”
"How capable is this kid?" Director Shi opened his eyes wide.
"Isn't it! Guess what, this Mr. Duanmu Zigong didn't lift four taels in his hands, and went to settle things with one mouth. ”
"I'd love to hear about that." Director Shi's body was driven by curiosity, and he involuntarily leaned forward.
"Zigong first went to the Qi State and found Tian Chang, who led the troops. This Tian Chang did not want to attack the Lu State, but wanted to make a rebellion and seek the power of the Qi State. As a result, the army was formed, but it was found that the time was not ripe, and it had to find another excuse to bring the troops out to attack the Lu State. Zigong first said to Tian Chang, your actual worry is in the imperial court, and it is not right for you to attack Lu now. Let me give you an analysis of your current situation, I heard that the King of Qi has wanted to promote you three times, but the ministers around him don't listen, you are three seals and three are not successful. This time, you led your troops out to attack the Lu State, and the battle was won, and the credit was also attributed to the wisdom of the monarch and the divine calculations of the ministers in the court, which will not have much to do with you, and your title and fief will not increase because of this; On the contrary, if you lose the battle this time, I think your situation will be dangerous, and it will be difficult to keep your current title and fiefdom.
As soon as Tian Chang heard that it made sense, he was scared, so he asked Zigong for a plan, and said, Sir, what should I do now? Zigong said that you should attack the state of Wu, and it will be good for you to win and defeat. If the battle is won, Qi and Wu will both lose, and the country of Qi will be empty, and you can take the opportunity to realize your wishes; If you lose the battle, the elite of the Qi State will lose their troops outside, and there will be no more ministers in the Qi court who can compete with you, and you can also realize your dreams.
Tian Chang heard that it made sense, but when he turned his head and thought about it, he was melancholy, and said to Zigong that my army has already reached the Lu State, and then marching to the Wu State will inevitably arouse the suspicion of the ministers in the court, what can I do? When Zigong heard this, he smiled at him and said that this is not difficult, you just need to station your army here, and I will persuade King Wu to let him lead troops to attack you. ”
"Tian Chang agreed?" Director Shi asked.
"Agreed." Secretary Xiao said: "Zigong then went to the state of Wu, and he said to the king of Wu that the state of Qi is preparing to attack the state of Lu, once the conspiracy of the state of Qi succeeds, the power of the state of Qi will surpass the state of Wu, and the hegemony of the state of Wu will be challenged. But everything can change until it becomes a fait accompli. Now there is such a great opportunity to continue to achieve the reputation of King Wu and your overlord. You might as well lead the volunteers to save the country of Lu, so that the whole world will be shocked by your righteous deeds. Besides, you are a righteous army to attack the unrighteous Qi, the victory or defeat can not be decided by the battle, then you lead the army to the west, Weijia Jin Kingdom, the princes will be the same and go to Wu, try to ask who can compare with you today? King Wu's heart was also moved when he heard this, and he thought about it, it's not appropriate! He said to Zigong that Wu and Yue had a deep enmity, and although Yue was temporarily defeated by me, its revenge was never extinguished. If I send troops to rescue Lu, it will take advantage of the emptiness in my rear and attack me, and I think it is better to wait for me to defeat the Yue Kingdom. Zigong said, the opportunity cannot be lost, and when you capture the Yue Kingdom, the Lu State has already perished, how can you want to do justice? In this way, for the sake of your hegemony, I can make a hard trip, send an envoy to Yue for you, and let the king of Yue send his elite soldiers to help you attack the country of Qi, and the king of Yue has no available army, and you will not have any worries. King Wu said, this is the best, then bother Mr. Lao to run. ”
"Did Zigong go to Yueguo?"
"Go! After this Zigong arrived in Yue, he said to the king of Yue, I persuaded the king of Wu to crusade against the state of Qi and help you weaken the power of the state of Wu, but the king of Wu was afraid that the king of Yue would take the opportunity to retaliate, and said to me, 'Wait for me to destroy Yue', so it seems that the situation of the country of Yue is very dangerous. For the sake of the Yue State, you might as well send fewer troops to help Wu and let Wu and Qi go to war. If the state of Wu is defeated, its strength will be weakened, and it will be a blessing for you to cross the country; If the state of Wu wins, the king of Wu will definitely dominate the world with his soldiers. At that time, I will see Jin Jun in the north, and let all the princes of the world come to attack Wu State, and at that time, Wu State is a labor expedition, and it is difficult to take care of the beginning and end, and the elite soldiers will definitely be lost to the outside, and there will be some weak and old people left in the country. At that time, you can take the opportunity to enter the army, and you will be revenged, and you will taste the shame of courage, and the snow will not spin. King Yue was very happy and agreed to Zigong's plan. In this way, Zigong bid farewell to King Yue and reported back to King Wu again, saying that Yue had agreed to send troops. After a while, the Yue State Doctor Wen Chong really brought 3,000 Yue soldiers to ask King Wu for his life, saying that King Yue was willing to personally hold a spear and a halberd to act as the pioneer of King Wu, and asked King Wu to decide. King Wu looked at Zigong, meaning to ask Mr. Do you think this is okay? Zigong said, the country of empty people, the people of Chiren, and bring other people's kings to fight, this is too unrighteous, it is better to accept his army and resign his king, that is to say, the king of Yue will not follow you to war. King Wu was right to think about it, so he sent troops to personally take command to save the country of Lu. ”
"And then?"
Later, this Zigong came to the Jin Kingdom alone and persuaded the King of Jin to strengthen his war preparations. Zigong said to Jin Jun that if things were not planned in advance, it would be difficult to deal with them when they came suddenly. Jin Jun asked him what he meant? Zigong said, now that Wu Qi is at war, Wu Guosheng and King Wu will come to Jin with his soldiers, and you will compete for who is the overlord of the world, and I hope that the king can plan this matter as soon as possible. When the king of Jin heard this, he was frightened and hurriedly deployed a large army to wait for him. Everything was planned, Zigong returned to his homeland and watched the changes in the country of Lu. ”
"How did things turn out after that?"
"The development of events was exactly as planned by Zigong, Wu defeated Qi, and Qi general Tian Chang was good at the politics of Qi; King Wu led his troops to the Jin State to show off his strength, but was defeated by the Jin Jun and the army of the princes, and the Jin State was famous; The remnants of the defeated army led by the king of Wu have not yet returned to the country, and the king of Yue took the opportunity to raise troops to capture the state of Wu. The king of Yue disagreed, and the king of Wu had no choice but to cut himself, and the state of Wu perished; King Yue became the new overlord, and his troops came to Surabaya to exalt the princes. ”
"Everyone says that the mouth can kill, but I didn't expect the mouth to destroy the country." Director Shi listened to Secretary Xiao's tirade and couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of his heart.
"Isn't it!" Secretary Xiao said: "It doesn't matter if Zigong's visit is made, in ten years, the five countries have undergone earth-shaking changes: it has preserved the Lu State, disturbed the Qi State, destroyed the Wu State, strengthened the Jin State, and dominated the Yue State. With his eloquent eloquence, it stands to reason that he can't be compared with Duanmu Zigong who doesn't want to get a horse back, and he shouldn't be inferior to a coachman, but facts have proved this, and the horse he didn't get back was won back by the coachman. It can be seen that there are three, six, nine and so on, and the big talent has the advantages of the big talent, and the small talent has the wonderful use of the small talent. ”
"Don't talk about Xiao Xiao, I finally understand what you mean. Don't you just want to promote Yang Guangzhi! I agree! Director Shi suddenly came to his senses.
"Then I'll thank Director Shi for Fat Yang." Secretary Xiao smiled, and he continued to say what he had just said: "On the issue of employing people, I understand it like this: the so-called ruler is short, and the inch is long. is a talent, if you use him in the right position, he can play his due role, then he is a talent; On the contrary, if he can't use it, then he is a stupid talent, and no matter how high his education is, it will be useless. You said that if this factory is built in the future, even if it is officially produced, it will inevitably have to deal with the local villagers, and I think Comrade Yang Guangzhi is still very capable of this aspect. ”
"Xiao Xiao, you really deserve to be engaged in political work, and you can use dialectical thinking to look at the problem of talents. Yes! According to what you said, when the factory is completed, Yang Fatzi will be the deputy director of the office of Jingbao Salt Chemical Plant, what do you think? Director Shi asked.
"I'll see it." Secretary Xiao nodded and agreed with Director Shi's opinion.
As a result, the fate of Yang Fatzi in the Jingbao Salinization Plant was decided in the casual conversation between the two leaders.
Yang Fatzi became famous as soon as he got drunk, and honor and status followed. At the summary and commendation meeting of the preparation work of Jingbao Salt Chemical Plant, he was awarded the honor of "Construction Model" by the city leaders; At the celebration meeting of the linkage test run of Jingbao Salt Chemical Plant, he was awarded the title of "Advanced Worker" by the factory leaders. The senior management of Jingbao Salt Chemical Plant also held a special meeting for his affairs, and after the meeting, he issued an advocacy to all employees of the plant, calling on everyone to learn from Comrade Yang Guangzhi's professionalism of "bravely shouldering heavy burdens and daring to be the first".
At the moment when the employees of the whole plant set off to learn the advanced deeds of Comrade Yang Guangzhi, the comrades of the propaganda department clearly realized the heavy responsibility of the burden on their shoulders. They set up a special reporting team to dig up materials in the countryside. They gathered the villagers who participated in the drinking with Yang Fatzi that day, had a heart-to-heart talk with them, and on the basis of obtaining first-hand information in an all-round way, they organized a capable writing team and wrote tens of thousands of words of report materials. After the senior management of the factory leaders carefully reviewed the report materials, several copies were printed and distributed to each branch, requiring each branch to take the team as a unit to organize learning and discussion in a month's time, and let each employee compare the materials, dig deep into the root of the thought, and write a "I contribute to the enterprise" experience at the end of the study.
Objectively speaking, this report material is indeed quite well-written. After reading the whole text, two big feelings will immediately arise in your heart. The first feeling is a reverberation. The whole article is fluent and concise, and it praises the touching deeds of Comrade Yang Guangzhi from different angles. The author started from the ordinary trivial matter of drinking, from a high vantage point, vertical and horizontal, bold imagination, wanton rendering, stunned to make a little-known little person, with black and white words, piled up into a legendary hero who stood up to the sky. The second feeling after reading the article is that I feel that the power of words is really ****** huge. Yang Fatzi, who doesn't look amazing on weekdays, when you look back again after reading the article, you have to look at him with another look and look at him with admiration, because Yang Guangzhi is no longer Yang Guangzhi, he has become a super person who turned the tide and turned decay into magic.
Later, this report material was deliberately enlarged and publicized on the wall newspaper column of the factory area for half a year. There is such a passage that many people will never forget after reading it: "In the face of possible death, it is to stand up and rush forward bravely; Or swallow your breath and quietly retreat like a coward? Comrade Yang Guangzhi chose the former. With a fearless heroism, he calmly picked up one glass after another of spirits on the table, he stared at his opponent with a firm gaze, at that moment, he only had the factory in his mind, and it was his greatest wish that the enterprise could be completed and put into production as soon as possible. There was always a smile on his face, and the spicy wine syrup seemed to have become a rain in his eyes. He won! Won with the trembling glass in his hand! There is no rhetoric, but there is the sadness of easy water resignation; There is no strong language, but there is a terrifying spirit of Devil May Cry! He used his flesh and blood to fight the wine demon to the death, and after three days and three nights, he woke up! Facts have once again eloquently proved that Comrade Yang Guangzhi is worthy of being a model of a new type of modern enterprise employee who can withstand the test of alcohol. ”
After learning this report, some people have a headache about the experience of writing, and they don't know how to write. Thinking that the bell must be tied to the bell, he ran to the office to find Yang Fatzi and asked him what he thought when he was drinking that day. At first, Yang Fatzi dodged and squeaked, and was asked to scratch his head while being asked. Later, I couldn't let it go, so I blushed and told the truth, saying that I really didn't think of so much at the time, and I was just thinking about drinking the other party, because only in this way could I go back to the unit and ask Director Shi to reimburse the 200 yuan banquet money.
In this way, Yang Fatzi drank a meal, lived in the hospital once, and was promoted from an ordinary clerk to the position of deputy director of the factory office, which he never dreamed of.
What Yang Fatzi didn't expect is still to come. If Yang Guangzhi's first promotion is related to the hospital, then his second promotion is also closely related to the hospital, the difference is that the second hospitalization time is longer than the first time.
