"Hey... good brother, what you said is totally out of context." Han Pingzhi turned around and glanced into the distance. After confirming that no one was paying attention, he reached out and patted Zhou Ming on the shoulder and said, "Last night, you sent your eldest brother off. I have given you such a heavy gift, and I have narrowly escaped death to help my brother complete this arresting mission. To be honest, as a brother, I really thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Although we have only met each other a few times, I already regard you as my brother. You should not be too outspoken in everything, otherwise you will hurt my heart.
You said we are all one family, can we speak two languages? Can I not tell you the truth that my elder brother has spent his whole life trying to figure out? "
Although Zhou Yiming knew in his heart that he couldn't believe all the beautiful words Han Pingzhi said, he was still somewhat moved in his heart. After all, since he came to this world, except for Lin Ajiao and his parents, there has never been anyone who has taught him as seriously as Han Pingzhi. His own things, even if the two people cannot become life-and-death brothers in the future, at least he can be regarded as half of his teacher.
"Brother Han is right. I will try my best to be careful in the future and never make him sad again." Zhou Yiming smiled sheepishly.
"That's right!" Han Pingzhi said with a hearty smile, "Brother, don't worry, as long as we two brothers work together and work hard, with your strength and my brother's experience, you will be successful in the future, and it will be just around the corner.
But when the time comes, you must not pretend that you don’t know Big Brother! "
Han Pingzhi has long been a master of dealing with people in the officialdom. He said these words just to make a statement to Zhou Ming to ensure that no matter how prosperous he is in the future, he will never forget his big brother.
Of course, Zhou Yiming is not a fool. He has already heard the implication of his words. However, Zhou Yiming is very disgusted with this kind of rhetoric. He always feels that what he says in this situation is like being forced by someone with a knife to his neck. from.
However, Zhou Yiming still understood the situation at hand. He was not strong enough yet. In some aspects, he needed people like Han Pingzhi, so he did not dare to indulge his temper too much. Although he was extremely reluctant, he still spoke. : "Don't worry, brother. Even if I fly to the clouds, I will never forget your help. After all, I can only fly thanks to your help."
These words were just said by Zhou Ming casually out of affection, without thinking about whether there was anything wrong with them. But as soon as the words came out, Han Pingzhi's face suddenly changed. He quickly came up to cover Zhou Ming's mouth, and then looked around. I looked down and found that no one was there, so I let out a long sigh of relief.
"Good brother, there are some things you shouldn't say nonsense." Han Pingzhi lowered his voice and said seriously.
"Brother, is there anything wrong?" Zhou Ming still didn't understand the seriousness of the matter.
Seeing that Yi Ming's precautions were so low, Han Pingzhi said anxiously: "Brother Zhou, why don't you understand? Cloud, is that a place where mortals can go?"
Zhou Yiming's heart pounded, and he took a breath of fear. He just wanted to have a moment of pleasure and forgot about the court's taboos.
The clouds are a place that only dragons can go, and dragons are the representatives of the royal family. If an ordinary person says that he wants to go to the clouds, if someone from the royal family finds out, he will definitely be convicted of treason, and at least be beheaded. The most important thing is to kill the nine tribes.
"Brother, I didn't mean that." Zhou Ming's voice was trembling as he spoke.
At this time, his martial arts cultivation level is only at the third level. Not only can he not be called a peerless master, but if he does not go all out, he may not even be able to defeat his own wife. If he gets into trouble at this time, it will be difficult for him to escape unscathed. , and may even kill his wife and parents.
As for Han Pingzhi in front of him, although he took great care of Zhou Ming after meeting him several times, Zhou Ming was still unsure whether he was an enemy or a friend.
If he persists in what he said wrongly and even reports it to the court, Yi Ming will probably die.
"Good brother, don't be so afraid. Don't you know who my eldest brother is? But you must not say these words elsewhere, otherwise it will be difficult for the gods to save you." Han Pingzhi said seriously.
Zhou Yiming said yes again and again, with cold sweat on his face. In order to relieve the embarrassment and eliminate his inner curiosity, after a while, he raised his head and asked: "Brother Han, what you just said about the way to govern your subordinates, is it true?" It's very exciting, and I have initially understood its subtleties, but until now, I still don't understand, how can I let my subordinates reach that highest state?"
In fact, when Han Pingzhi just explained the way of imperial service, he did not finish it all at once. He only explained several realms clearly, but he always kept in his heart the method of how to let his subordinates reach such realms, in order to make Zhou Yi Ming personally asked himself for advice. After all, rushing is not a business. If he is too proactive, others will not value the opinions he gives, and secondly, he will be despised by others.
Han Pingzhi, who has been in the officialdom for so many years, although he has always regarded Yi Ming as his future supporter, he is not that stupid yet. He deeply understands the truth that only you yourself are valuable, and what you have given If you give, you will be valued by others.
"Good brother, it seems that you really took my words into your heart, and you were able to ask such a profound question. What I just said was really not in vain." Han Pingzhi stroked his beard and said with a sense of accomplishment.
"Brother Han, please teach me." Zhou Ming once again cupped his fists and raised his hands, saying humbly.
Han Pingzhi quickly helped him up and said with a smile: "Brother, why are you so polite? As long as the eldest brother knows, he will definitely tell you everything.
In fact, it is difficult to say that it is difficult to achieve the highest level of imperial control, and it is not easy to say that it is simple.
As the saying goes, everything must be controlled at a certain level. If your subordinates are too afraid of you, they will only listen to you when you have the power. Once you lose power, these people will immediately overthrow Hu Sunsan. Some People may even ride on your head and dominate you.
This is also the biggest shortcoming of this lowest level of control. "
Zhou Yiming carefully remembered every word in his heart, because he knew that every word Han Pingzhi said was useful information. As long as he studied it a little bit in the future, it would be of great help in managing his subordinates.
"The highest level of the art of imperial control does not have such drawbacks." Han Pingzhi continued to talk, getting more and more enthusiastic as he talked, as if these knowledge had been held in his heart for too long, and now he finally found an outlet to vent, "I want to To reach this state, only four words are needed: win people's hearts.
The kind of buying people's hearts I'm talking about doesn't mean being like a fool who throws money at people regardless of target or class.
It is necessary to treat them differently and defeat them one by one.
For example, if some people are greedy for money, you use money to buy them; if some people are filial, you reward their parents with many things. In this way, if you impress this filial son, he will naturally be used by you in the future.
The most critical point is that every time your subordinates do something for you, you cannot let them return empty-handed. More or less, you have to give them corresponding rewards, and the rewards are very learned. If you pay less, they will think you are a stupid boss. If you pay less, you will be considered stingy.
Only when rewards are appropriate can everyone have no complaints and only be grateful to you. "
After hearing these words, Zhou Yiming felt as if he was enlightened, and he finally understood why Han Pingzhi insisted on treating him to a meal. On the one hand, the meal was to thank him, and on the other hand, it was to reward him. Only by letting the brothers under these two people enjoy the benefits of this operation can they still obey their orders in the future.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yiming suddenly understood Han Pingzhi's good intentions. The reason why he had been here tirelessly telling himself the way of serving as a servant was because he wanted him to understand why he had to eat this meal.
He really wanted to sincerely thank Han Pingzhi for his good intentions, but he never got the chance because Han Pingzhi was still immersed in the joy of lecturing and did not give Zhou Ming a chance to thank him.
"And Brother Zhou, you have to remember one thing," Han Pingzhi continued to say earnestly, "No matter how generous rewards you gave your subordinates on a previous mission, this is not an excuse to skip the next reward.
As long as your subordinates do things for you, you must give them enough sweetness, otherwise even if you are unfair once, your prestige among them will be greatly reduced. "
Zhou Yiming nodded desperately, wanting to take advantage of the gap between Han Pingzhi's speech to express his gratitude, but he was unable to get in the middle of the conversation because Han Pingzhi spoke too fast.
"One more thing, you must remember that no matter how much benefit you get through any means, as long as your subordinates know about it, you must give some of it to them and stop their mouths, otherwise you will get into trouble. Trouble." When Han Pingzhi said these words, his expression suddenly became very serious, "In the face of interests, any emotion is very fragile.
You must not think that some people are your confidants and are 100% loyal to you, so you ignore the greed in their character. You must not be stingy with the rewards that should be given, otherwise once they are dissatisfied with you, it will be the greatest harm. of. "
Zhou Yiming nodded frequently, feeling that Han Pingzhi's words were so reasonable. He was about to express his agreement when he suddenly realized that Han Pingzhi's last words meant something, and were he hinting at something?
After all, when he extorted 200,000 taels of silver from Yang Shijun, Han Pingzhi played a lot of role in the process. If he just swallowed the 200,000 taels of silver like this, would Han Pingzhi treat him like the subordinates he mentioned? What about being dissatisfied?
This doubt did not last long in Zhou Ming's mind. After all, he was a smart man, and he quickly got a definite answer. He planned to give Han Ping one hundred thousand as soon as he got the money after returning. Two silver coins.
