Those spiritual wealth still have great reference significance for us today.

Today, I want to tell you a story about his handling of people, which may inspire you.

In our work, we have to deal with all kinds of relationships and things every day. Being able to handle affairs has become an important symbol to evaluate a person's ability in today's society. How can we do a thing well?

Zeng Guofan told us: Know things first, then do things.

Zeng Guofan believes that if people want to make a career in this life, they must first be reasonable. To be reasonable is to know the truth of the matter, and to have your own judgment on the cause and effect of the matter.

He once wrote in Zeng Guofan's Family Instructions:

"If you don't know things, you will rely on private interests to solidify the fallacy, and justice is also absurd; The villain is solid, and the gentleman is also awkward. "

It means that if you can't even do things, then no matter whether you are a gentleman or a villain, you can't do things well out of public interests or selfishness.

why is "knowing things" so important to Zeng Guofan? What should I do when I am entrusted by someone? Please take a look at his story ...

In the four years of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty, Zeng Guofan was the governor of the two rivers and held a high position. One day, he was processing official documents at home when he suddenly heard a noise outside the hospital. An old voice shouted at the top of his lungs, "Let me in! I'm looking for Hiroichi! "

The concierge of Zeng's house thundered, "What are you looking for?"! How dare an old country man run wild in front of our governor's house! "

Zeng Guofan was surprised that his birth name was Kuanyi, and all he knew were the elders in his family. He hurried out and saw an old man dressed as a farmer pushing and shoving with the porter. The old man was none other than Zeng Guofan's michel platini.

Zeng Guofan personally welcomed michel platini into the mansion and treated him as a distinguished guest with good wine and food. During the dinner, the old man faltered, saying that he had something to ask:

It turns out that Zeng Guofan's ancestral home in michel platini was in Hunan, and his ancestral grave had excellent geomantic omen. This land of geomantic omen was taken a fancy to by a local rich man at that time. The rich man first paid a high price to buy the land. Because it was a ancestral grave, the old man naturally refused. When the rich man saw that he couldn't buy it, he bribed the local government and tried to rob it.

The old man was so angry that he hanged himself. Fortunately, someone next door reminded him, "Your adopted son is so promising. Why don't you ask him for help?"

As soon as the old man heard this, he rushed to Nanjing anxiously and asked Zeng Guofan for help.

Zeng Guofan listened and said to michel platini, "Don't worry, I have my own way."

At the same time, he ordered his family to accompany him to michel platini to play around Nanjing, and at the same time, he sent people back to Hunan to investigate the matter.

The people sent to Hunan came back in two days. As the old man said, the truth is that the rich man is bullying others. This is Zeng Guofan's heart in order to have a spectrum. It is particularly important that he was not blinded by emotion, but conducted a truth investigation to determine the facts.

on the second day, the governor's office was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations.

Governor, when the new official took office, prominent officials from all over the south of the Yangtze River came to congratulate him. When people come here, Zeng Guofan invited michel platini.

I also wrote a fan for the old man in public, which read:

If the father waits on the right, if the male Zeng Guofan presents it.

The general idea is that michel platini, his adopted son Zeng Guofan, is on the altar.

In the afternoon, Zeng Guofan wrote a fan for the old man, which spread among the yamen in the south of the Yangtze River.

Now, the old man's difficulties will be solved without the intervention of the Governor himself.

In fact, this way of handling things is very appropriate, and we can sum up three experiences:

First, make an accurate judgment before doing things. On the matter of helping michel platini, Zeng Guofan was reasonable and prudent after investigation and study. Instead of being blinded by emotions, we respect facts and truth.

second, think about the problem and stick to the principle. Zeng Guofan hated abuse of power for personal gain in his life, and he usually didn't associate with officials in his hometown, but michel platini had to help him. He didn't help until he confirmed that the old man really had grievances. The heart of justice cannot be ignored.

third, be flexible when doing things. If Zeng Guofan personally stepped forward to support michel platini, local officials would be afraid and would not be discussed, and the inscription on the sector would help michel platini without showing any trace. Give the right medicine and let the wicked retreat, and skillfully resolve the crisis.

In our real life, it is inevitable to deal with some worldly relationships. What can we do more appropriately? I believe you have some feelings and gains after reading Zeng Guofan's story!
