In the version we heard before, Bao Gong sat in Kaifeng, South Asia, busy solving crimes every day. There was a right Mahan in the Zuo Dynasty, and there were three bronze spears in front of the hall. He was a dragon son and a phoenix grandson, and a local ruffian.
Where's Sima Guang? When I was a child, I smashed cans to save people. When I grew up, I became an official in North Korea. I first opposed Wang Anshi's political reform, and then I wrote "Zi Tongzhi Jian". These two people have nothing in common. How can they have something in common?
Of course there is an intersection! They often meet at wine fairs, many of which Sima Guang can't push away.
Historically, Bao Gong only served in Kaifeng for one and a half years, and not many cases were tried. Most of the time, he struggled in financial and military positions. In middle age and old age, Bao Gong was transferred to the Ministry of Animal Husbandry as a shepherd.
What is a sheep company? It is a horse-raising organ in the Song Dynasty, in charge of the country's war horses. Herdsmen are the heads of this horse-raising institution. In other words, Bao Gong's resume is a bit like Monkey King, and both of them have been Bi Marvin. Of course, the temperature in Tiangong is not inflow; The herdsman in Song Dynasty was a high official and a serious court official.
It was when Bao Gong became a herdsman that he and Sima Guang met-Sima Guang was thirty years old, and was also transferred to the Ministry of Herdsmen, and worked as a herdsman judge under Bao Gong, equivalent to Bao Gong's assistant.
Why was Sima Guang transferred to the Ministry of Animal Husbandry? Because his father Sima Chi, his father-in-law Zhang Cun, and the old leader Pang Ji he met when he first entered the officialdom all worked in the Ministry of Animal Husbandry in his early years, Sima Guang came from a horse family and sent him to the Ministry of Animal Husbandry as a professional counterpart.
Sima Guang also had a good friend who was transferred to the Ministry of Animal Husbandry and became Bao Gong's assistant. Who is this good friend? Is the famous reformer Wang Anshi. At that time, Wang Anshi was in his thirties, and he had not yet begun to carry out his thought of political reform. He and Sima Guang are still good friends, and they have frequent contacts in appreciating each other, just like a pair of good friends.
It turns out that Bao Gong and Sima Guang are colleagues. In our modern workplace, in order to deepen the friendship between colleagues and maintain departmental relations, there are often group building activities outside work. Group building includes eating, drinking, singing, outdoor development and so on. Song Dynasty is a dynasty that attaches importance to the exchange of scholar-officials, and of course there are league building activities in the officialdom.
On weekdays, the weather is sunny and spring blossoms. Bao Gong led his subordinates to complete their official duties and looked up. Today is a good day, so he didn't let everyone go. He told the canteen to prepare good wine and dishes and give a big banquet to treat everyone.
At the beginning of the banquet, Bao Gong raised his glass, raised his glass first and said:
Bao Gong (translated by Teacher Liu Yijun): "Today, we are building a group, and everyone can drink. Come, bring me glasses! "
Bao Gong drank it off, and his subordinates also raised their glasses, but two young assistants around Bao Gong, Sima Guang and Wang Anshi, did not raise their glasses. Why? Because these two people don't like drinking, they usually don't touch alcohol.
Bao Gong didn't drink when he saw Sima Guang and Wang Anshi, and his face sank:
Bao Gong (translated by Teacher Liu Yijun): "Fu Jie and Shi Jun, what's wrong with you? Not giving the old lady face? Huh? "
Fu Jie is Wang Anshi's word, Jun is Sima Guang's word, and Bao Gong praised his word not his name, which is to give them face.
Sima guang stood up, bother to apologize:
Sima Guang: "I'm sorry, Mr. Bao. I'm really sorry. I haven't touched alcohol since I was born. Don't you feel ashamed if I fall down here? "
Bao Gong laughed.
Bao Gong (explained by Teacher Liu Yijun): "How do you know you can't drink it if you haven't drunk it? Listen to me today, drink boldly, and I will send someone to send you when you are drunk! "
The culture of "persuading wine" in dinner has been in the same strain since ancient times. At the dinner table of our modern people, it is also common to persuade wine. The key to persuading wine is not wine, but the power relationship implied in wine. In particular, when the leader advises you to drink, you show respect and affirm the authority of the leader. If you don't drink? If you meet a narrow-minded leader, it may be difficult in the future.
Therefore, the leader Bao Gong put the words to this point, and Sima Guang dared not ignore them. He picked up the glass of wine in front of him and held his nose and drank it. He coughed after only one sip. Everyone burst into laughter, but Sima Guang was very clear in his heart: it was not the wine he drank, but Bao Gong's face.
Bao Gong saw that Sima Guang was drunk, so he turned to Wang Anshi and said:
Bao Gong (explained by Teacher Liu Yijun): "Your boy also drinks, and he won't return until he is drunk!"
But Wang Anshi is stubborn.
Wang Anshi (teacher Liu Yijun changed her voice): "Miss Bao, I never drink, Mary."
Bao Gong (interpreted by Teacher Liu Yijun): "You ... you boy! Hum. "
Wang Anshi usually doesn't drink, and he doesn't drink in front of Bao's adult. Lord Bao is stubborn, and Wang Anshi is even more stubborn than Lord Bao. It can even be said that it is completely ignorant of the world. The more Bao Gong advised him to drink, the more disgusted he became. From the beginning to the end of the party, he never touched the glass.
At the big banquet that day, Sima Guang was as drunk as a fiddler and didn't know how he got home, but Wang Anshi was always sober. But colleagues all think that Sima Guang is sober and Wang Anshi is confused. The leader tried to persuade the wine three times and five times, but you didn't listen, which made the leader humiliating. Aren't you dying?
Inner monologue (Liu Yijun's interpretation of Wang Anshi);
"Oh, everyone was drunk, and I woke up alone! No matter what I believe, I will stick to it, and no one will try to change it.
I've never drunk in my life, so don't talk to me! What if he is Bao Gong? And these mediocre people want me to drink? That's ridiculous!
Say I offended Bao Gong? Hehe, it's okay. I dare not even drink Bao Gong's wine. Who will persuade me to drink again? Less wine, isn't the quiet picture wonderful? "
Since Sima Guang and Wang Anshi don't like drinking, can't we afford to hide if we can't be provoked? Can they not join the League Building Wine Bureau? Of course not. Why not?
Because the government of the Song Dynasty strongly encouraged the league construction of officials, officials at all levels had special public funds for the league construction. This kind of "public funds for group construction" had a name in the Song Dynasty, called "minister money", which was specially used for leaders at all levels to greet and entertain subordinates. Song dynasty officials used the minister Qian Tuan to build wine, which was tantamount to being ordered to eat and drink. It was impossible not to participate.
The emperor of the Song Dynasty treated the literati very well, especially middle and senior officials, such as Bao Gong. Every month, there is an amazing minister's money, which is as high as 1500, that is, 1500 Wan Wen. According to the purchasing power of copper coins in the mid-Northern Song Dynasty, the purchasing power of copper coins has always been equal to more than 800 yuan now, at least equivalent to more than/kloc-0,000,000 yuan today.
The minister's money of more than 65,438+0,000,000 yuan per month, except for buying pens, ink, paper and inkstones, receiving imperial envoys and entertaining past officials, is entirely at Bao Gong's discretion, and whoever he wants to invite is invited.
You may want to ask, was the Emperor of the Song Dynasty crazy? Why spend such a large sum of money on high-ranking officials? Because this is Song Taizu's ancestral family law, it is a means to win over officials with money, and it is also a means for officials to exchange feelings, resolve conflicts and improve work efficiency.
Every year, during the Spring Festival, the winter solstice and the Cold Food Festival, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty held a grand banquet. Every day, the prime minister on duty goes to the government affairs hall to work, with rich working meals and good tea and wine; From various ministries and prisons in Beijing to local governments and counties, every yamen is also eating and drinking at public funds and held as scheduled.
In other words, as long as you are at your post, you have to eat. If you can't go, you must ask for leave in advance. These dinners are simply one of the daily work of officials at all levels, and it is impossible not to go. Of course, except Sima Guang and Wang Anshi, who are naturally not fond of drinking, most officials are actually happy to go.
League building activities are also very important to our modern professionals. Many enterprises will take group building projects as one of the company benefits, such as fixed dinners, birthday gifts, outbound travel and so on.
You say that employees can't be happy when they come to a Public Offering of Fund group building once in a while because they work so hard? In this way, employees are highly motivated and the team atmosphere is good, and the company's performance will naturally go up? The emperor of the Song Dynasty knew this truth thousands of years ago, and he was indeed a master of governing the country!
