Chapter 150: The Six-Character Mantra of Being an Official
Thousands of books can be falsely transmitted, but one sentence can be truly transmitted. The true words of wonderful enlightenment cannot be passed down to six ears. Direct transmission has always been passed down orally.
Xu Sanxiao asked doubtfully: "Since his Taoist skills are better than those of the old blind man, is there any secret technique passed down from him that he can't do?"
He Wenyu said: "Although he was taught by Zhou Zhirou, it was not a direct inheritance. The difference is huge. For example, after Zhou Zhirou's death, you were the only one who knew about the formula of Xumi Pure Fire, and how to tame animals."
The second half of the sutra is written by Zhou Zhirou himself, and it will definitely not be passed on to others."
Xu Sanxiao suddenly said: "So that's it, so he doesn't know how to peek into the heart anymore?"
He Wenyu gave Xu Sanwazi a resentful look and said, "Otherwise, why would I hang you on a tree? Do you think I don't know that there is a twelve-year age difference between us, and you are still the son-in-law of my good sister?
In addition to age, what’s more, the difference in seniority? The Secret of Peeping the Heart is a secret passed down from the left, and once Zhou Zhirou dies, you will be the only one in the world who knows it.”
Xu Sanxiao said with a frown on his face: "It's a blessing, not a curse. It's a disaster that can't be avoided." I don't know if this disaster refers to Ma Erlong's misfortune, He Wenyu's misfortune, or both.
He Wenyu said: "Xu Sanwazi, don't think that I am willing to cling to you. Someone is afraid that my daughter will be sad and asked me to protect you. In the next few days, you will have a ministerial-level personal assistant around you. Don't
You have such a poor character that you don’t know the blessings even though you are surrounded by blessings.” He then smiled and said, “Your little wife has agreed to this. If you don’t believe me, just call her and ask her now.”
Xu Sanxiao really didn't believe it and immediately called Li Yan. The young daughter-in-law revealed the secret as soon as she opened her mouth, "I heard that someone has been promoted. Congratulations first."
Xu Sanxiao was already immune to all the unbelievable things brought about by his marriage. He was the last one to know about his promotion. He only heard Li Yan on the other end of the phone say: "It's strange how I knew about it.
Right? Uncle Yan invited Secretary Song to dinner last night and called me too. After that, Uncle Yan went to Yanyang County again. He was supposed to completely relieve your worries, but unexpectedly something happened and a loophole slipped through the net.
Zhiyu, Uncle Yan is very angry, but my dad said it was God's will and asked you to be more careful, and he asked He Xiangu to protect you."
"This is really happening!" Xu Sanxiao was surprised: "You are herding sheep to watch wolves. If one day I make a mistake, it will be your connivance."
Li Yan chuckled and said, "I still can't tell how good you can be, but I already know how bad you can be."
Xu Sanxiao sighed: "That's all we have to do, but I still have something to ask you for a small favor."
Li Yan said: "Is there anything we can do to please each other? No matter what, as long as I can do it."
Xu Sanxiao told him about building a primary school, and Li Yan said I would call Uncle Yan.
After hanging up the phone, He Wenyu stared at him with bright eyes and asked with a smile: "Xu Sanwazi, when did I become a sheep in your eyes?"
Xu Sanxiao said: "You are such an unqualified assistant. You didn't even cook a meal at noon. Originally, I turned down several dinner parties and went home because I wanted to try your cooking. Since you didn't cook anything, I had to
Went to Wang Feng’s house for dinner.”
Xu Sanxiao came to Wang Feng's house to eat. Lu Sumei steamed the steamed buns today. The steamed buns had just come out of the pot. Wang Feng was picking up the first one and putting it in his mouth. Seeing Xu Sanxiao, he just nodded slightly and continued eating.
own.
Lu Sumei was a little unnatural and said: "Secretary Xu is here, Lao Wang, why don't you even say a word?"
Wang Feng said with a smile: "What are you talking about? Mr. Xu's promotion was expected. Hasn't he seen such a humble person today?"
Xu Sanxiao came over, grabbed a steamed bun, took a big bite, drank a sip of egg drop soup, and said: "This promotion was too sudden, and there was too little preparation in advance. During the meeting, I only remembered the central point that Brother Wang mentioned to me.
Regarding primary school matters, it is extremely difficult to do practical things in this town, with restrictions, funds, and other factors blocking our necks. Now I am one head tall and two heads tall."
Wang Feng said: "You are the first step in a long march of thousands of miles. As long as it is something within the system, you have to adapt to it slowly." Then he asked: "Are the three fires not burning correctly? The party committees present at the meeting
Are all the members complaining about you?
Xu Sanxiao slapped his thigh and shouted: "That's what the hell it is."
Wang Feng said: "You have been in the system for more than half a year now. You have explored it on your own and Teacher Yan has taught you. Your understanding of the system can be regarded as your first step. Before that, you have been learning how to be a promising official. Today
But I would like to use Mr. Boyang’s words and some of my insights to tell you Li Zongwu’s six-character mantra for being an official.”
Xu Sanxiao lowered his head and ate while saying, "Listen, you tell me when I eat."
Lu Sumei served Wang Feng another bowl of soup and said, "Drink the soup first and tell Secretary Xu slowly."
Wang Feng said: "As the saying goes, the change of righteousness and strangeness is true and false. It's okay for you to stick to the truth, but you must learn the crooked ways in this officialdom. The so-called Zhongzheng Anshu swings left and right without disturbing its roots."
Xu San smiled and said: "You can just say that I am not as noble as you think. If you have any bad ideas, just come up with them. I will use them all later."
Wang Feng then talked eloquently.
"The six-character mantra for being an official is empty, respectful, tense, fierce, deaf, and nong."
Empty, this "empty" is not an empty emptiness, but an empty emptiness. The first is the emptiness in words. When it comes to comments and reports, they are all empty. The mystery is difficult to describe for a while. You can see more of the official documents of various agencies.
But I have a great enlightenment. The second is that I have nothing to do. No matter what I do, I can move around, move eastward or westward. Sometimes I do it vigorously, but in fact there is a retreat secretly. If the situation is not good, use that retreat.
Quietly withdrawing, slipping away, and never getting caught. This is exactly the principle of Tai Chi, so in officialdom, one must learn to practice Tai Chi.
Xu San smiled and said: "Doing Tai Chi and mud, this works."
Wang Feng said that your understanding is really high, and continued: "The third is empty words. You can talk empty words in small meetings because you can't be the boss everywhere. Once you can't keep your words, you must talk more empty words. Empty words can be
Rhetoric can also be official talk, in short it is nonsense that sounds absolutely tenable."
Then let’s talk about the second word: "Gong", which means bowing down, bending one’s shoulders and smiling flatteringly. There is direct respect, which refers to respect for one’s superiors. There is also indirect respect, which refers to one’s relatives, friends, and workers.
Respect. There are many details and skills, and the knowledge is so great that it is difficult to describe. In a nutshell, it is to respect the leader.
Xu San smiled and said: "I don't like this word. I guess I won't use it too much. I will respect those who are worthy of respect, and go to hell with those who are not."
Wang Feng said: "You have a chivalrous manner in your conduct. This kind of character is not uncommon in the officialdom. Many senior officials even use this kind of relationship to gather connections. The word "Gong" is actually an attitude towards others. It is the same as this.
The opposite of the word "taut" is the word "taut", which means to keep your face tight to your subordinates. There are two types. One is to be tense in attitude, making you look like a big shot, awe-inspiring and inviolable. The second is to be tense in attitude.
, in terms of speech, he seems to be knowledgeable and talented, but to be honest, he doesn't have too much ink in his belly. In short, he must be able to pretend to be majestic and mysterious, and cannot look good to those official greasers.
.”
Xu San smiled and said: "We entertained guests and friends all the way with banquets. Some people are bright when given a little sunshine. They call them daddy when they are slapped with big ears. They are very servile in their bones. This word is used to deal with such people."
Wang Feng smiled and said, "I've told you everything, what else can I say?"
Xu Sanxiao said: "Continue, isn't it a six-character mantra? There are three more characters after it?"
Wang Feng continued: "Then there is 'fierce', which means ferocious! As long as you can achieve your own goals, you don't have to worry about others dying, destroying their families, selling their children and taking care of their wives. But one thing that should be noted is that above the word fierce,
You must be covered with a layer of benevolence and righteousness. It is best to shout about the iron shoulders of morality and lament that people's hearts are old, so that they can kill people like grass without being heard. That is to say, you must have a heart like a jackal, a tiger, a leopard, and a face like a compassionate Bodhisattva. Before you deal with anyone, you must be patient.
The other party slaps the blame on you, and then you stop and deal with it, and then you chase him and eat him without spitting out his bones."
Xu Sanxiao said: "I understand this. I am planning to use this move on Mu Renxing. I must get this bitch away."
Wang Feng said: "He is just a small character. If you want to compete with him now, it will be a bit indifferent."
Xu San smiled and said: "I want to sort out my priorities now, but there are too many things to do."
Wang Feng said: "So you have to learn the fifth word, 'deaf', which means deafness, that is, let others laugh and scold. I am a good official. Attacks on public opinion and criticisms of public opinion are treated as spring breeze blowing on the donkey's ears."
, don’t care at all. At the same time, deaf people also include the meaning of blind. The criticism in words is also regarded as a mean word. Seeing it means not seeing it. They pour bitter water. You can listen to it if it is reasonable. Ridiculous, or
If you think it's ridiculous, you can just ignore it."
Xu San smiled and said with a smile: "That's really what it is. If you are an official, you must pretend to be deaf and mute, unable to distinguish priorities, and worry about every detail, let alone a town.
It's not easy to manage a village, so it seems like my ears will have to take a break when the time comes."
Wang Feng chuckled and continued: "There is also the last word 'Nong', which is the main thing, that is, getting money and getting power. As the saying goes, a dragon that has come thousands of miles away will form a hole here. If it is not for making money, who will waste it?
Such a strong desire to seek an official position? But to you, this meaning does not mean much, but there is another meaning behind it, which is to gain power, which is of guiding significance. How to do it? It is another university question. "
Xu Sanxiao said: "If you hesitate again, I will go to Chengdu to talk to Teacher Yan immediately."
Wang Feng said: "Don't worry, listen to me, there are many ways to gain power, but I summarized it, and there are only two tricks."
"The first move is the technique of sawing arrows, and the second move is the technique of mending the pot."
Xu Sanxiao nodded and said, "Be specific."
"With the sawing arrow method, someone is hit by an arrow and asks a surgeon for treatment. The doctor saws off the arrow shaft and immediately asks for medical expenses. What should he do with the arrow? The answer is: "That is a matter of internal medicine. You go to the internal medicine department."
Nowadays, most of the top officials in various agencies use this wonderful method, such as commenting on the manuscript submitted by: "According to the submission, there are quite a few discrepancies, so please refer it to the superior leadership office to find out and report it."
The word "disagree" means sawing the arrow shaft. The superior leader is the internal medicine department. Another example is that someone asked me to do something. I very much agree with this matter, but I still need to discuss it with someone. The word "very much" means sawing.
Arrow shaft; the other two words are internal medicine.”
Xu Sanxiao looked astonished and said: "It's just playing football, it means something deeper. In short, it's mainly about shirking responsibility."
Wang Feng said: "This is also a clever move to protect yourself. There is no bad Dharma, and there is no wrong Sutra. If evil people use it, it is an evil Dharma, and if a monk with a crooked mouth recites it, it is a perverse Sutra."
He added: "There is another way to mend the pot. If the cooking pot is leaking, please ask the tinker to repair it. The tinker takes advantage of the owner's unpreparedness and hits the broken pot with a hammer. As a result, the pot is not only broken, but also almost broken.
It was going to break. So he declared that the pot was too broken and had to be repaired with more nails, so the price would naturally be higher. Then he repaired the pot, and the owner, the potter, was very happy. Mr. Ji Huansheng, Duke of Zhengzhuang, indulged him
His younger brother, Mr. Ji Duan, made him commit many unjust acts, so he raised troops to conquer. This is the magic method of mending the pot. There are many such incidents in history, and there are countless examples in a lifetime. This is also the principle of raising bandits to respect themselves. Tolerance
The same principle applies to indulging in pain and dealing with killers. In short, if you learn and use it well, it is actually a unique skill for dealing with people in the officialdom."
Finally, he said: "Of the two techniques of wielding power, the former is to deal with things, the latter is to deal with people. Raising bandits to respect themselves is used to deal with superiors, while appeasing and conniving and then dealing with them is used to deal with subordinates. There is great knowledge here."
After that, he picked up a steamed bun and took a big bite.
Next, it was Xu Sanxiao's turn to watch him eat. After saying this, Secretary Xu suddenly felt that his eyes were much clearer.
Xu Sanxiao thought for a moment and then said: "I already have a preliminary idea. Now it depends on how many members of the party committee agree with me."
Wang Feng asked: "Do you mean you have already made a plan?"
Xu Sanxiao nodded and said: "Actually, it's not really a plan. I've already chosen the three things that the new official should do when he takes office. The Central Primary School is the first thing. The second thing is to crack down on gangs and eliminate evil.
As soon as the three local snakes in Xiema Town are moved; the third round of fire is 'Inhumane', lest others say that I am too eager to retaliate."
Wang Feng praised with his forehead: "Wonderful, this first fire is to gather people's hearts, and the second fire will establish power and gain more people's hearts at the same time; if these two fires are burned, when the people who want to burn the third fire are
When the time comes, will anyone dare to stand up and stop it?"
In the afternoon, as soon as Xu Sanxiao arrived at the office, Yu Hai came to report.
The two had a good relationship in adversity. Because of the suicide of a cult member that day, Yu Haixian was punished. During this period, no matter how interrogated the investigation team staff were, Xu Sanxiao was never confessed. Of course, there was some confession that Xu Sanxiao had done something to him.
Unfavorable factors, but more importantly, this person is quite loyal.
Yu Hai walked in and said, "Secretary Xu, if you are not busy, I have a few words to say to you."
Xu Sanxiao said: "I don't call you Brother Yu, and you don't call me my job title. In private, I call you Lao Yu. You can just call me Sanxiao. Tell me, do you have any inside information?" With that, he started from the office.
He took out a box of cigarettes from the table and threw it over, saying: "Smoking, I know you are a big smoker."
Yu Hai took it and smiled, "The proud man of heaven, a pack costs about one hundred yuan, but I can't afford to smoke these cigarettes." He took out one, lit it, and took a deep breath.
Seeing his solemn expression, Xu Sanxiao knew that he must have something important to say, so he motioned for him to sit down and said: "Why are you being polite to me? I bought a few of these cigarettes last time in Nanshan, and now I still have two left.
, you can take them all away later."
One thousand yuan for one piece, two thousand for two pieces. In this place, Xiema Town, this is already a pretty good gift. China is known as a country of etiquette, but it has always been subordinates who give gifts to their superiors. I haven’t heard of it yet.
It was said that the leader gave gifts to the people below. Yu Hai was a little flattered and quickly refused: "This is not acceptable, Secretary Xu."
Xu Sanxiao's face sank, and he said: "What did I just tell you? Why do you still call me a title? This morning, before Minister Tian arrived, there were so many members of the Xiema Town Party Committee, and they all thought of me.
The plague could not be avoided, but you gave me a smile and greeting. This warmth is worth more than a thousand dollars in my heart! From now on, privately we are friends, brothers in the trenches. You must always keep a distance so deliberately,
But it’s so boring. There’s no need to say anything you want to say. I’d rather close my eyes and step on the thunder than listen.” After saying that, he took out the remaining two cigarettes from the drawer and placed them on the table, pushing them in front of Yu Hai.
.
In meetings, you talk about principles and talk in official terms, and in private, you talk about friendship and friendship. What does it mean to be generous and generous? Why should people follow you and go against almost all the party committee members? Xu Sanxiao has been in the world for a long time, and he was first guided by the famous teacher Yan Chaohui, and later
With the help of a wise man like Wang Feng, I already have a very deep understanding of the ways of the officialdom and the human heart.
Yu Hai was really moved. He suppressed his excitement, took the two cigarettes, and said on his forehead: "Brother Sanxiao, I won't say anything anymore. From now on, I will do whatever you say at any time."
"
Xu Sanxiao said: "That's right. Come on, let's finish talking and get to the point."
Yu Hai looked at Xu Sanxiao quietly, recalling the scene when he was first elected as the village chief. More than two years later, the person in front of him was now the secretary of the town party committee, and he himself followed Luanfeng and became the director of the police station.
He couldn't help but feel a lot of emotions in his heart. Then he suppressed the thoughts in his heart and said seriously: "I am here today to tell you about three special people in Xiema Town."
Three special characters? Xu Sanxiao roughly guessed who they were, and said calmly: "Three special characters? You mean the three tyrants of Xiema Town, right?"
Yu Haidao: "Exactly these three!"
Xu Sanxiao said with great interest: "I have only heard about this a few times. I was the deputy mayor before, and was only responsible for investment and economic matters, and I have not been working in Xiema Town for a long time. Regarding
I’m not very interested in the situation of some special people in Xiema Town who have nothing to do with each other, and now it’s time to get to know those people a little bit.”
Yu Haidao: "This is the first thing I want to tell you."
ps: Today I want to accompany my guests to visit my hometown. First I will write a large chapter worth 5k, and the second chapter will be uploaded at 8 o'clock in the evening.
