"Later, more and more people can't look past it and talk to Uncle Bao."

However, whenever someone said this, Uncle Bao would always smile and say, "Guan Zhong's family is poor and needs money to support his old mother, besides, doesn't he have to build a house and marry a daughter-in-law." "And for me, it doesn't matter if I have more or less."

"Generous, really generous!

"Later, Uncle Bao relied on his ability and his father's relationship to get an errand in the officialdom of Qi State, and he entered the officialdom."

"Without Uncle Bao's stability, because of Guan Zhong's character, his business can't be done, just when Guan Zhong didn't know what to do, Uncle Bao, who has a stable job, came to the door."

"After Uncle Bao's work was stable, he thought of his good brother Guan Zhong, so he sent someone to take Guan Zhong to his place and arranged a job for him - a strategist."

"According to Uncle Bao's understanding of Guan Zhong, in terms of Guan Zhong's IQ, this job can be described as overkill for him."

"However, later facts proved that Uncle Bao was wrong, because Guan Zhong has come up with several ideas for Uncle Bao in the months since he took office, but it is a pity that every time his ideas not only did not make things good, but made things quite bad."

As a result, other people at work gradually couldn't look at it, so they began to secretly talk about Guan Zhong behind his back, wondering if there was something wrong with his IQ.

Once, when they were talking about Guan Zhong again, they happened to be heard by Uncle Bao, and after Uncle Bao knew about it, he said to them, "There is no problem with Guan Zhong's IQ, but some things have changed too fast beyond Guan Zhong's prediction." ”

Although Uncle Bao is still very sure of Guan Zhong, due to several defeats, Guan Zhong's self-esteem has also been greatly hit, and he has no confidence to continue working here. So, he submitted his resignation to Uncle Bao. ”

"Uncle Bao was very surprised by this at first, isn't it that a few things have not been done, and he will not leave immediately, maybe because you are not familiar with the situation, take your time, everything will be fine!"

However, no matter how Uncle Bao persuaded him, Guan Zhong was determined to leave. In desperation, Uncle Bao had no choice but to let him go. ”

"It's absolutely not okay for Guan Zhong to go home like this, after all, it takes money to support his old mother, and it also takes money to build a house and marry a wife, and he has to eat himself."

"So, Uncle Bao recommended Guan Zhong to work beside the monarch, because Uncle Bao's relationship is relatively hard, and Uncle Bao is actively working on points, he really got an errand by the monarch's side."

Before leaving, Uncle Bao held Guan Zhong's hand with one hand, patted him on the shoulder with the other hand and continued to comfort him, telling him that the reason why he was not working well with him was because the time was not yet ripe, and asked him not to think too much. told him to work hard when he went to the king's place, and strive to make a name for himself. ”

"In this way, Guan Zhong entered the gate of the imperial court and officially became a court official, according to common sense, Guan Zhong should be like many people, hard work, hard work, through his own efforts, to stay in the rank, and finally retire with honor."

"However, it seems that God is not destined to let this strange man live in such a mediocre life."

"So, not long after, Guan Zhong was in trouble again, because Guan Zhong was a person who was responsible for his work and his responsibilities, and he was extremely unaccustomed to some irresponsible actions of the king."

"But smart and sleek people often open one eye, close one eye, and pretend not to see it, because there are some things that you should be in charge of, and you should not be in charge of what you should not do, and it is strange that you don't suffer if you manage more!"

However, our Guan Zhong brothers don't know this, after all, they have never mixed in officialdom and know very little about the "rules". ”

"As a result, because the Guan Zhong brothers often speak out, in just one year, they have achieved extremely considerable achievements - they were driven out of the court by the monarch three times!"

"The first two times, with the help of Uncle Bao and his father, Guan Zhong returned to work with his head held high."

"But the third time, when Uncle Bao was about to find someone to send Guan Zhong back again, others saw him from afar and began to hide." —

"What kind of person are you sending, there is a problem with the brain, everyone else is eating a trench and growing wise, this stunned boy has been taught a lesson twice, why has he not grown at all! Okay, don't implicate us again, we won't do this kind of loss-making business! ”

"So, Guan Zhong is very little about his future, he doesn't want to do business alone, he can't be a strategist, he can't get along in the imperial court, and he has no hope of going home to farm......"

"Don't complain about anything, it's useless, he still has to resist the banner of life, sort out his mood, and continue to start looking for a job."

"This time, he encountered the annual conscription, and as a result, Guan Zhong became a glorious soldier of the Qi Army."

"It stands to reason that being a soldier is the easiest job in addition to ordinary training, that is, to go into battle to kill the enemy, although this work is dangerous, but the individual life is big, as long as you can survive on the battlefield, then it is possible to be promoted and rich, step by step."

"But don't forget, Guan Zhong said that he was once a businessman, and every businessman is afraid of death, this is a theorem."

"Because they have a lot of money, he is afraid that after they die, the money will be confiscated and used by others, because this is their hard-earned money, and they will be unwilling after being confiscated, so they are afraid of death and cherish their lives."

"Although Guan Zhong didn't make any money, this character of being afraid of death does exist."

"In this way, many soldiers who enlisted with Guan Zhong have been promoted with honor after several wars, even if they are the little five chiefs (the eldest of five) and ten chiefs, they have already become officials anyway, and with a certain identity and status, their treatment will naturally be improved."

"Looking back at Comrade Guan Zhong again, there is no progress at all, not only is he still a small soldier with a long brother in his hand at this time, but he is not welcomed at all in the army."

"Why? It's really funny to say, when others see the enemy, they are all desperate to rush forward. ”

"And Guan Zhong is good, every time he encounters the enemy, if the Qi army has the upper hand, it is okay, he can still mix the number of people inside, make a noise, shout a few words, maybe he can also scare and scare the enemy, but if one day the Qi army can't support it, and retreats in defeat, Guan Zhong is definitely the one who leads the way for everyone."
