Simon Leopard
When my child and I were reading the article "Ximen Leopard Zhiye", the child asked me: "Why didn't Ximen Leopard throw the rest of the gentry into the river?" They're bad people too! ”
In the world of children, everyone is equal, they can't stand the unfairness, and they must be punished for their mistakes, so that they will have a balance in their hearts.
In life, children feel that such unfair things often happen.
When the family is in chaos, parents generally criticize the older children, and when several children do bad things, the parents mainly criticize the older children, but the children who are criticized will loudly complain every time: "Younger brothers and sisters are also wrong, why not criticize them?" ”
When I walked into the classroom and saw that the hygiene was not cleaned, the discipline was very poor, and the children did not read, I mainly criticized the main department of the class.
Children who are older brothers and sisters at home often feel wronged, feeling that their parents are eccentric and unfair.
Children who are cadres on duty in school will also feel aggrieved and do not want to be cadres on the class, because the teacher will ask the class cadres to do something, and if something happens, they will find trouble with the class cadres.
In the adult world, it's not unfair, it's a strategy for doing things, to use an idiom to say, "kill a hundred people", or kill chickens and scare monkeys.
Let's first look at the story of killing a hundred people.
In 949, the Later Han rebel general Li Shouzhen led an army to attack Hexi (河西; present-day Hexi Corridor, Gansu). Before the operation, he asked people to pretend to be liquor sellers, lured the People of Guo Wei in Hexi to drink freely with small profits, and then took advantage of his drunkenness to sneak into the Hexi military camp. When Guo Wei learned of this, he immediately ordered: Except for rewards and banquets, Hexi is not allowed to drink alcohol without permission, and those who violate the law should be beheaded. Once, Guo Wei's closest general, Li Zhen, violated the rules and drank alcohol, and he sent someone to find Li Zhen to reprimand him angrily, and immediately dragged him out and beheaded him. The officers and men of Hexi never dared to drink casually from then on.
The "one" in "kill one hundred" generally refers to the main person in charge, generally refers to one's own cronies (the head of a certain department) or the leader of the enemy (the leader).
In the above story, killing people is not Guo Wei's ultimate goal, he killed Li Zhen to warn officers and soldiers not to drink casually, soldiers must have the discipline of soldiers, Li Trial violated the rules and drank alcohol, he immediately dragged out the beheading, others will think after reading it: "The people closest to the general who make mistakes are capital crimes, and we can't make mistakes." ”
In the article "Ximen Leopard Zhi ye", we know that the reason why the fields in YiXian are barren and sparsely populated is mainly because the officials and gentry collude to squeeze the people's money and kill innocent girls, and the people are convinced of superstition and have no intention of farming.
"Catch the thief before the king." Even the smallest team has a main person in charge, Ximen Leopard after the secret visit to find out the truth, did not think of a net, first threw the witches and gentry's leaders into the river, other gentry were frightened, naturally will tell the truth behind the scenes (there is no river god at all, it is the gentry and witches in order to collect wealth), Ximen Leopard also took the opportunity to educate the local people, broke the local superstition, the people will no longer believe in superstition, for him to build water conservancy in the future to lay a mass foundation.
Also, Ximen Leopard came here to govern Ye County, not to kill people, if the officials and gentry were all killed, who would help him manage Ye County?
Those gentry who were not thrown into the river would be grateful to Ximen Leopard for his grace of not killing, and would do their best to assist Ximen Leopard in governing Ye County well.
This reflects that Ximen Leopard severely punishes the first evil, treats them differently, acts wisely, stresses strategy, and cares about the people.
In the Analects, Confucius repeatedly said that in order to govern a country or city-state well, the leader must have benevolence, and the leader always demands himself with the requirements of a gentleman, and the officials and people below will naturally not be bad, and the country will naturally prosper.
It can be seen that the role of role models is very important. A home, a class, a department, all need good leaders.
Those children who are older brothers and sisters at home, those children who are cadres in school, please do not be wronged, although you are all children, but you have one or more identities, the burden on your shoulders, the responsibility to bear is naturally more.
You feel unfair and aggrieved because you feel that you are a child like others, you did not think that you were the "leader" at home, and you were also the "leader" at school, and you did not reflect on whether as a "leader", what you should do was done well?
The teacher is the "leader" of all the children in the class, the teacher must also be a good example, bad things can not be done in front of you, and the leaders of the school will criticize me if they do not do well.
Think about it from another angle, as long as we are the "leaders" to do a good job, there will be a few people or even dozens of people in the back who will follow our example to do a good job, is it a sense of accomplishment?
The same group of leaders, the former gentry (as the parents of the local people) as a blessing, greedy for profits, pit the people, ugly, disgraceful, so that many people fled.
After Ximen Leopard came, he cleverly used a clever plan to punish the first evil, break superstition, and then build water conservancy with the people to promote the development of the local economy and make the people rich. Sima Qianyun: "Ximen Leopard governs Yi, and the people do not dare to deceive." ”
What kind of "boss" are you willing to be?
