Chapter 53: The Art of Using Power

Due to the agreement reached between him and Xiao Shibo before, Qing Zhuo has been staying not far from the two of them, on the one hand, he wants to hear the good news that Xiao Shibo taught Azule as soon as possible, and on the other hand, he doesn't want others to disturb him, after all, so far, Asule's life history has not been made public. During the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info, Li Jingjing wanted to go in several times to add tea, pour water and deliver pastries to eat, but Qingzhuo was forcefully blocked out of the door.

Seeing that the sky was getting darker, Qing Zhuo began to worry secretly, Xiao Shibo and Azule had been talking for a whole day, basically from morning to night, and there was no sign of the end.

With a "squeak", the door of the side hall finally opened from the inside out, and Xiao Shibo straightened his collar, flicked his sleeves, and came out lightly.

"Uncle Shi, how did you talk to Azule?" Qing Zhuo hurriedly trotted for a while, grabbed Xiao Shi's sleeve, and asked urgently while shaking his sleeve.

"Hahahaha, it's really a big girl, your father and your mother are not bad. Xiao Shi's straightened sleeves were wrinkled by Qing Zhuo again, but he didn't mind at all, and he seemed to love this junior very much.

"Uncle, uncle... Why are you even laughing at Qing Zhuo? This is definitely not what Daddy and Auntie said. Qingzhuo's youngest daughter's embarrassed and satisfied expression was revealed, and she said with a smile.

"Give him time to think and digest, and don't bother him. Don't worry, you can't starve him. Azule has already worshipped me as a teacher, and I will teach him alone from tomorrow, and after a while, your uncle Tianyuan will also come to teach him. Later, if possible, I will arrange for a few of you young people to go to training for a while. Hahahahaha..."Xiao Shi walked and spoke, but before he finished speaking, the person had already walked through the hall.

Qing Zhuo heard that Asule had become Xiao Shibo's apprentice, and he was very happy in his heart, with such a face, the relationship between the two became closer; The more Qing Zhuo thought about it, the more he thought about it, the more hot-headed he became, so he went with joy inside and out.

Inside and outside the hall is a different scene. At this time, Azul has gradually calmed down from the shock and doubt, and he has gained a lot from today's conversation, and he has probably learned about the unknown life experience, knows what to do next, and worships a master.

That night, the news was known in the Sword Casting Workshop, and Asule apprenticed, the master was Yi Qingzhuo's Uncle Xiao, and the knowledge of talent strategy and strategy will be taught in the next period of time.

Early the next morning, Azule was locked in the door by Xiao Shi and began to study hard.

The talents and strategies that Azule learned are mainly divided into three categories, namely, power tactics, tactics and tactics, power tactics against people, tactics against situations, and tactics against battle formations.

The first thing Master Xiao taught was the art of power.

The art of power, in short, is the use of power, and there are three manifestations of the use of power, namely, seeking power, holding power and consolidating power. The art of using power focuses on the word "power", one is power, and the other is trade-off. The essence of power is centralization and decentralization, that is, how to measure and adjust between grasping power and delegating power.

Noble as an emperor, plain as an official, or even ordinary as a leader, must learn the art of power. Generally speaking, it is better for those in power to have all the power, but this is in conflict with reality, because no one can decide and carry out everything big and small by himself, and can only delegate others to help deal with it.

In order to resolve conflicts and contradictions, it is necessary to use the art of power. On the one hand, we should try to grasp as much power as possible, and on the other hand, we should prevent our subordinates from being idle and unmotivated, which would affect their career development; on the one hand, we should let the talents of others be used to our advantage, and on the other hand, we should prevent our subordinates from becoming big and endangering their own status.

Xiao Shi spoke the truth, but Azule listened in a fog. Xiao Shi saw Azule's many questions and motioned for Azule to ask.

"Master, what do those in power use to attract everyone to my use?" asked Azul, puzzled.

"That's a good question, and it shows that Azul is thinking hard. Among the three techniques, as far as you are concerned, the right technique is the first, and the other two techniques are just auxiliaries, and it doesn't matter if you learn well or not, but you have to use the right technique for the rest of your life. 'Right', right and interest are inherited and dependent, right can be understood as power, and profit is interest. Profit sounds cheesy, but no one is out of it. Those in power, those who seek power, and those who are bystanders all have their own interests, but these interests vary from person to person. In the future, there will be tens of millions of people gathered around you, and it can be said that you have the same goals, or vice versa, you can say that you have the same interests. Therefore, those in power should be good at finding, creating, distributing, and adjusting benefits, and attract people through interests. Xiao Shi said carefully.

"Master, I understand, just like me and Liyuan, when I wanted to get out of prison, he wanted to forge a sword, and then we forged a sword together. How, then, do we know what this person's interests are?"

"Azul, you really have this talent, and you are very happy for the teacher. Power tricks can also be a kind of cunning, but if you just shut yourself in the door and think about breaking your head all day long, you may not be able to come up with a good trick of using power. Therefore, the art of power should also focus on observation, practice and accumulation. For example, in order to observe the interests of a certain person, it is necessary to first understand the characteristics of the other person, and these characteristics are usually reflected in small things. For example, if we take a group of prisoners of war and don't know their former roles, but if we look closely, we find that one of them is facing detention or massacre, and even carefully flicks his sleeves, which shows that this person is accidental, indicating that this person is not a long-term slave or soldier, or he is mixed in, or he has a better status before. So, in short, to discover, to accumulate and practice. Xiao Shi talked about his own experience, and realized Azule's intentions and talent, and was very happy.

"Master, I understand that a person's attitude towards things and people can reflect his characteristics and his pursuit. Master, I have another question, is the power technique omnipotent?" asked Azul.

"How can there be a panacea, in fact, the power technique is only the skill and change in dealing with specific affairs, it can sometimes be a thousand pounds, but fundamentally it is the strength that has the final say. First have strength, and then talk about power. You can't rely too much on power, and if you don't understand how to use it well for the time being, you must first strengthen yourself. Master will give you an example. The current Central Plains is not the same as the Central Plains ten years ago, and the main difference I am talking about is the current Southern Mu Dynasty, Xize Kingdom and Shuntianzhou. Fifteen years ago, these three places were under the jurisdiction of the Great Mu Dynasty. At that time, the Northern Barbarians had a long-term confrontation with the Great Mu Dynasty, and the cavalry of the Northern Barbarians had a mobile advantage, and they ran away after grabbing or not winning, but if they won the battle, they would definitely fight you fiercely, so this is a hooligan tactic. But on the other hand, the Great Mu Dynasty in the Central Plains had no way, the power trick did not work, and the only way was to establish an equally powerful cavalry to fight against him, and beat him to pain or even death. Therefore, the power technique is only an increase in strength, but there is no way to improve the strength. When Xiao Shi said this, he showed vain and unwillingness, and there was obviously a trace of anger and sadness in his tone.

Azule was keenly aware that this period of history might be related to his own life experience, but if the other party didn't tell it, he couldn't ask about it.
