Chapter 353 The Essence of Power

"Did you find an old thing in that store?"

Ye Sansheng asked agilely.

Taihexuan is decorated in a simple and elegant manner, and naturally has some antiques, calligraphy and paintings. Ye Sansheng can't see the reason. Taoist Wang must have seen the clues. If there are artifacts related to Duanfang or the palace, it means that the legend mentioned by Writer Nie is reliable.

"Who is Duan Fang? His collections are all top-notch rare items. Even if there are tigers, it is impossible to put them in the store so grandly." Taoist Wang smiled, "But he is a painter and his father was also famous all over the country at that time. What antique shop should be opened? There must be a reason?"

“Money laundering?”

Taoist Wang didn't say anything and pondered: "About that his store was opened only after the reform and opening up. If it is related to him, then he and his family have been dormant. Taihe help me understand something. Let me start from there and see what valuable collections have appeared in the Huwen over the years. Give you a task, contact him more in the future, make friends, and understand the customers who have close contact with Tiger. Slowly, there will always be some clues."

"Master, are you sure that the tiger man has something to do with the cassock?" Ye Sansheng asked again.

"A dead horse is a living horse." Taoist Wang smiled bitterly, "At present, this is the most likely clue, so naturally we can't lose it."

"Okay, I'm justified in participating in cultural work now." Ye Sansheng agreed.

"Then let's talk about this justification."

Taoist Wang personally prepared the tea and sat back on the sofa leisurely.

Ye Sansheng had a bitter face and had to sit beside his master honestly, knowing that his master was going to start guiding him again.

"What qualifications do you have to be justified?" asked Daoshi Wang, "Are you the Director of Culture? Mayor?"

"If you do cultural work, you don't have to have an industry leader or a top leader, especially a project, just a leading group or designated person in charge of this project."

Ye Sansheng explained. He thought that Taoist Wang had read countless people, experienced vicissitudes of life, worldly affairs, and truth and experience, but the government's operation procedures may not be fully understood, or some specific operations are not clear.

"So, are you the leader of the leadership group or the specific person in charge?"

Taoist Wang asked.

Ye Sansheng choked.

Taoist Wang smiled proudly: "You think you can participate in the right way, and you even think you can guide others' work casually because you are the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee Secretary and can reach out everywhere, right?"

Ye Sansheng could not deny it.

I already knew in my heart that I was wrong. Although this is a "hidden rule", after all, from a procedural perspective, he really does not have the power.

Even if he received Zhou Zhongrong's authorization, this authorization was not formal, and there were certain boundaries. For example, Zhou Zhongrong asked him to lead the establishment of this "Cultural Double" activity, and his real authority was to attract people. As for the specific content of this "Cultural Double" and how the project operates, he should not intervene at all.

"So you are inflated," said Taoist Wang. "Although you don't think so, your behavior has unconsciously surpassed your duty as a secretary, and you are still complacent and don't think it's too much."

"But Secretary Zhou appreciated it, and he also encouraged me."

Ye Sansheng couldn't help but defend himself.

"That's Secretary Zhou. It's an exception. But one day Secretary Zhou doesn't like you doing this?"

Ye Sansheng was stunned and couldn't help but feel confused: Should I be as timid as Luo Zhongliang, the former secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, and adhere to my duties? No one who can compete with the power center of this city is a fool. Didn't Luo Zhongliang think about pleasing Zhou Zhongrong and daring to take risks like himself? Now, I will do something wrong one day to cause trouble for Zhou Zhongrong? In fact, what I did before or may cause trouble in the future. How will I face it then? What will Zhou Zhongrong have?

"Actually, I am not against the working method you have chosen at the moment. You and Secretary Zhou are a match. If you meet each other, then do it well and work vigorously. Anyway, you are young, and such opportunities are really hard to come by. You should cherish them well. Don't look back and do what you want." Taoist Wang solved the problem for his disciple and laughed, "I just want to remind you that you are a little angry now."

"Is it a fight?"

After Master Nie left last night, the master and apprentice had a long talk. Ye Sansheng also talked about Gao Yun and fought with Fan Cheng.

"Your current position, whether it is sub-power or illusory power, or unjust power, is also power after all. You can compete with most of the city, or even determine life and death, rise and fall, but with power, you must understand the hiding front."

——Ye Sansheng thought, King Arthur pulled out the sword in the stone, and Merlin warned him that the value of the scabbard was ten times that of the sword body, but King Arthur finally lost his scabbard and did not know how to hide the edge. I don’t know if the master knows this section? Although the master is profound and a miscellaneous, he won’t like these stories, right?

"The power is like a sword in my hand, and a tiger is brave in my heart. All the powerful ministers have always thought that everything in the world can be done. As long as the sword in my hand is sharp enough, even if the saint is resurrected, they will have to kneel down at my knees. That night, if you showed your identity as secretary of the municipal party committee, would Fan Cheng still treat you like that? Will he still conflict with you?"

——Ye Sansheng thought, wasn’t he thinking about “hiding the edge” at that time? Or was this deliberate falsehood also a kind of arrogance? It was also an inexplicable hostility?

"But power also has two sides, just like two sides of a coin. It can help you do things, realize your ideals, and benefit one side, but it may also encourage your evil nature and be evil for a while. The so-called possession of a sharp weapon and a fierce heart arises. If you don't grasp it well, you will fall into the abyss."

——Ye Sansheng thought that the dragon-slaying hero finally turned into an evil dragon. This is a novel, history, and reality, but it will never be himself.

"Of course, charity does not control the troops, and for five thousand years, which hero does not kill people? Once you hold power, the sword will not avoid casualties. Power has always hurt some people to protect some people. It depends on your choice and choice."

Ye Sansheng looked at his master in confusion.

"How can you get the two laws in the world that you will not let down the Tathagata and not let down the Lord." Taoist Wang smiled helplessly, "You are now reluctant to be considered a person who holds authority. You have to learn to choose this lesson, learn to use power correctly, and learn to weigh which one is more important."

"For example, if you give this literary award to Writer Nie, you will inevitably not give it to others, and you will deprive one of the other people of the award. For example, ten key projects, you must eliminate another one, and for example, more specific and more complex. Some time ago, the weather was hot, and everyone turned on the air conditioner. The load was too high and the power was limited. You decide which area to turn off, how do you decide? This is the truth of power, it can affect and determine everyone's life and destiny, from water and power outages to going to the countryside."

“We can go to a higher level.”

"A family, a group, a country, and a society will face the problem of whoever eats rice and whoever eats bran. This is a distribution issue, and what determines this distribution is power."

"Confucianism advocates the distribution according to the level, and the order of ranks you are in. The order of ranks must be clearly stipulated. Legalism advocates doing their best and distributing according to work. If you have great power, you will be able to obtain more resources and eat rice. Buddhism advocates not fighting, eat whatever you have, and give you enough rice in the next life; Taoism says not to eat anything, and not discuss this issue. Drinking wind is better than eating rice and bran. There are other statements, but the main ones that have great influence are these schools. Behind this, power is actually hidden among them. Confucianism clearly divides power, and Legalism encourages itself to seize the power. Buddhism does not rob, but only allows everyone to bear power. Taoism ignores power."

"You are a parent and can allocate resources within the family. You can only provide one child with study. You must allocate resources. If you want to develop in a country, the east and west, you have a priority choice. If you are in Jiangcheng, you have the power to decide when to do economic work, when to do cultural work, which project to do cultural work, which project to do not do which project. These are all choices and distributions brought by power. This choice and distribution will definitely benefit some people and damage others. It is impossible for everyone to benefit. So the king is as strong as a heart, so for local governments, many joys and sorrows that ordinary people cannot bear are just a number."

Suddenly, Ye Sansheng suddenly realized and realized!

In the past, he always wanted to please everyone and do everything in his life. As a result, many people were dissatisfied and even became enemies: Liu Xuewen, Men Xiaowen, Pan Tao, Pan Bo, Gao Yun...

He always feels a little guilty, feeling that he has definitely not done well, can he do it more perfectly?

Now, he understood that the operation of power must crush the weeds on the road, and the tracks of power must be soaked in blood.

"Thank you, Master, I understand."

Ye Sansheng said vigorously.
