"Sit here!" After dismissing Yuan Yin, Chen Xi pointed to a seat aside and greeted Sima Fu, who sat over cautiously.
"I won't beat you, what are you afraid of!" Chen Xi said angrily to Sima Fu, "I am your distant cousin after all. Do you know what your uncle asked you to do?"
The relationship between Chen Xi and Sima Jun is actually very distant, but the Chen family and the Sima family were in-laws in the previous generation, and the Sima family was also lucky. Chen Xi had not yet risen. When they were getting married, Sima Lang passed by with Sima Yi and gave it to Chen Xi. Along with the gift, he also received a personal jade pendant.
Therefore, Chen Xi recognized the relationship regardless of whether it was good or not. Anyway, Sima Jun was older, so it would not be a disadvantage to call him uncle Chen Xi. Supposedly, if his grandfather were alive, he would only be over sixty years old, and Sima Jun is already ninety years old. To call him an uncle, It's not a loss.
"Grandpa thinks that what I have learned is already behind the times, so let me learn from you." Sima Fu calmed down a little. Chen Xi's words about uncle still made Sima Fu feel a lot more at ease. His distant cousin still Recognize yourself as a relative.
"I don't need to use the honorific, and I won't say goodbye to you either. My uncle just felt that he was low on energy and thought that I was relatively idle, so he just found me a job." Chen Xi spread his hands and said nonchalantly, "Okay, let me tell you if you have any. Spiritual talent.”
"Not yet awakened, but if necessary, you can awaken now. Basically determining the direction is a talent for getting past information from traces." Sima Fu nodded. There was no need to hide when facing Chen Xi. Monsters cannot be defeated by a spiritual talent.
"It's not bad. Being able to awaken spiritual talents shows that the foundation is very solid and the accumulation is relatively sufficient." Chen Xi nodded. He knew why Sima Jun brought Sima Fu here. Their Sima family only had such a small amount of wealth. Naturally, Hope each one is used to its fullest potential.
Sima Fu fell into silence. It turns out that in the eyes of the boss, spiritual talent is just an entry-level qualification certificate. This is too scary. Is this the world of the strong?
"Let me think about what I should teach you?" Chen Xi sighed and said.
Sima Fu is actually very good, but Sima Fu's situation is the same as Yang Xiu's situation back then, and the training method is not suitable for the current situation.
It's just that Yang Xiu is completely unsuitable, and Sima Fu is at best unable to exert his greatest effect, and for today's aristocratic family, waste is shameful!
"Cousin, are tactics really useless now?" Sima Fu looked at Chen Xi and asked.
"It's not that it's useless, but I made the rules a little unsuitable. For example, in the past, in small countries like Shan and Mon, we would use other methods because they were too far away, but now, passing by Just hammer them to death." Chen Xi sighed and said, "Nowadays, major aristocratic families can no longer be called aristocratic families. With soldiers, many problems will have other solutions."
In fact, there is another very important point, that is, Chen Xi does not want to restrict each other between aristocratic families. What Chen Xi hopes is that the major aristocratic families expand as much as possible, swallow up more territory, and turn into nutrients for Zhu Xia. In this kind of situation, Under the circumstances, it is better to be external than internal.
The core of political intrigue is internal. From Sima Jun's perspective, if Sima Fu wants to play this, it is equivalent to directly challenging Chen Xi, and this is an impossible battle to win.
Chen Xi also understood this. Sima Jun brought Sima Fu over and partly told Chen Xi what he meant. Your cousin is hopeless. He wants to attack you. Please save him. Otherwise, he will smash your hand. You can arrange someone else. Forget it, if you use your position to support your retirement, you will lose a spiritual talent in vain.
"Shuda, I remember you haven't married yet?" Chen Xi suddenly asked a question, and Sima Fu nodded without knowing why, thinking that his cousin was going to introduce him to someone.
"In this case, there seems to be another way." Chen Xi touched his chin, remembering the previous plea sent by Anping Guo.
Chen Xi knows how Sun Quan was trained. If he can't recognize the reality, he will be beaten a few times. What's more, the Anping Guo family has re-entered the game. Even if it starts from hell, it may be a good start. If he is thrown in, he may be beaten a few times. efficient.
It's just that this idea went around and was killed by Chen Xi. Queen Guo went there with the idea of success or failure, and the thieves who are currently dragging down that poor place are not rookies, they are the most capable thieves. The bandits should have almost reached the level of commanding a large army.
The famous founding generals, especially the founding generals of such a large empire, have no meaning at all with this kind of people. On the one hand, they grew up extremely fast, and on the other hand, they performed amazingly in desperate situations. However, facing the heyday of the Han Empire, it was just a matter of time. That's it.
"Forget it, it's better not to use this method." Chen Xi sighed. Guo was not familiar with him, but Sima Fu still called him cousin.
"You should just follow me these days. If you learn and take a look, you should understand." Chen Xi sighed and said, "Do you have any job you like? I will take you to see it then."
"There is not much I like about my job. If possible, I would like to stay at home." Sima Fu said with a sigh.
Sima Fu was telling the truth and was not deceiving Chen Xi. If his family hadn't put in all the effort to train him, he would have to repay his family. Sima Fu really wanted to stay at home forever with clothes to stretch out his hands and food to open his mouth.
Hearing this, Chen Xi looked at Sima Fu up and down until Sima Fu felt uncomfortable. Chen Xi reached out and patted Sima Fu on the shoulder, "Cousin, I think your qualifications can teach me how to fish. Fishing makes people happy. , Fishing makes people strong.”
Sima Fu looked at Chen Xi dumbfounded, "You want me to learn how to fish with you? Are you worthy of what you said before?"
"Don't look at me like that. The so-called fishing is actually an efficient way to handle government affairs." Chen Xi crossed his hands to support his head and said very seriously.
"Huh?" Sima Fu looked at Chen Xi in surprise. Luckily it was Chen Xi who said this, but Sima Fu turned around and left.
"All problems in this world have simple and convenient solutions. Machiavellian tactics are a universal solution, especially when limited by rules; however, fishing is the ultimate answer, because if the goal is to fish well, , you must be correct, fast and efficient." Chen Xi said extremely seriously, "And these three goals are difficult to achieve."
Sima Fu nodded seriously, Chen Xi was right.
[Although I don’t know how to correct your Machiavellian brain, I can refine the problem, transcend the problem itself, transcend Machiavellian thinking, and introduce new thinking patterns.] Chen Xi soon came up with a more correct way.
After all, it is very difficult to break the cognition of a spiritual talent owner for twenty years, so change your thinking and let the other party agree with an absolutely correct concept. For example, the so-called Machiavellian strategy is just for solving problems correctly, quickly and efficiently.
Even if there are loopholes in this statement, it is definitely not wrong.
"To achieve correctness, speed and efficiency, you cannot just use one method of application. Sometimes physics is more effective than theory, and sometimes theory is more effective than physics. You need to take an eclectic approach." Chen Xi said to Sima Fu with a smile, "Only if you can be efficient every time
Only after the problem is dealt with can you have more time to fish, so people cannot have only one solution to the problem."
Sima Fu nodded slowly, what Chen Xi said was very correct.
"Shuda, how many times does Zhongzi appear in the Analects of Confucius?" Chen Xi suddenly asked a question, and the question had an unexpectedly large jump.
Sima Fu counted it silently and said slowly: "Forty-four times."
"Where's Yan Zi?" Chen Xi asked again.
"Twenty-one times." Sima Fu said calmly. For him, these basic classics are all in his mind, very clear.
"Do you know why Zhongzi appears more and Yanzi appears less?" Chen Xi asked with a smile. This question is very interesting.
"Yan Zi is a virtuous man. He is the first among the seventy-two sages. He does not need much teaching. The Analects of Confucius is full of praise. But Zhongzi is an upright man and loves courage. A saint also needs more teaching." Sima Fu sighed and said.
Chen Xi rolled his eyes and looked at Sima Fu, "Shuda, among the disciples of Confucius, Zhongzi is the only one who is brave and capable of leading troops. Zhongzi is not the only one who is upright. Why is Zhongzi often criticized in the Analects of Confucius?"
Sima Fu was stunned when he heard this. Among the seventy-two wise men, Zilu was not the only one who could lead troops and fight. There were also upright ones. Why was Zilu framed every day?
"Because only Zhongzi can't be defeated by Confucius. Others can use two-way education to make the other party realize their mistakes. Only Zhongzi can only persuade with reason." Chen Xi sighed and said.
Among the seventy-two sages, only Zilu was able to beat Confucius more than two meters head-on, drive a chariot, use a heavy spear, ride a horse, shoot arrows, and engage in close combat.
The original text of Lu's Spring and Autumn Period records, "The strength of Confucius is the gate that lifts the whole country." Although this gate refers to the crossbar of the city gate, this thing also weighs hundreds of kilograms. Of course, it is not as big as Confucius's father, Liang He, who lifted the city gate.
In comparison, Confucius is just trivial.
The original text of The Analects of Confucius: When the Kuangren of Chu mocked Confucius for saying, "Fengxi is like a phoenix, how can one be so virtuous?" The sixty-three-year-old Confucius was driving a chariot himself, and he was driving very fast. This was not an era with the spirit of heaven and earth.
, but the Spring and Autumn Period when the average life expectancy was twenty-nine.
However, after being dragged like this, Confucius was beaten several times by Zi Lu.
"Do you understand? Sometimes, even if the truth is correct, it is more effective than pure truth when assisted by other methods." Chen Xi looked at Sima Fu and said with a smile.
The corner of Sima Fu's mouth twitched, but he somehow felt that the reason Chen Xi said before was very reasonable. When a strong person teaches the correct principles, it is easy for others to understand, but when a novice explains it, he may be burned to death in the Flower Square for other reasons.
