I am the cook, but I am Li Er's son-in-law

"Da Lang, what do you think I should do?" Sitting opposite Yin Xuan, Zhou Xiaosan looked a little restless. He felt that it would be more formal to sit on his knees at this time, but there was no couch in the restaurant.

Yin Xuan looked at him and raised his hand to touch his chin.

He had never experienced these things, so he couldn't empathize with Zhou Xiaosan.

But. The biggest difference between this time and the era he experienced lies in the change of vision. Although he has not experienced these things, he has seen them, and he has seen many of them.

I have seen a lot of pigs, and I can more or less point fingers at them.

Yin Xuan nodded the table and said softly: "What do you think is a person who wields a knife? What is a knife used?"

This is a fundamental question.

Zhou Xiaosan paused for a moment, thinking about it, then with a helpless expression on his face, he sighed softly: "The one who runs around for someone like me and obeys orders is the knife used."

"As for those high-ranking masters who sit in official positions, they are probably the ones who wield swords."

Yin Xuan said: "For example?"

Zhou Xiaosan spat out an official position: "Jing Zhao Yin."

Yin Xuan nodded, and smiled slightly: "Jing Zhaoyin is indeed a high-ranking official. He lives in the third rank and ranks in the third assistant. In the capital city, his weight is no less than that of the imperial court."

"However, there are still officials on his head, and there are left and right servants shooting."

"To them, is Jing Zhaoyin a person with a knife, or a knife?"

Zhou Xiaosan was stunned, blinking his eyes, a little dazed, Yin Xuan's words relieved the energy from his heart.

Yin Xuan smiled lightly again, knocked the table, and made a crisp sound: "You, it's good to have such an idea, but it's just a little bit astray."

"Being a man with a knife and being a knife are just relative states."

"In your opinion, you are just a knife in the hands of the county magistrate, but in the eyes of those bad people and bad handsome, why aren't you a person who uses a knife?"

Zhou Xiaosan rubbed his chin, hesitantly: "Da Lang, you mean that I should calm down and not be so impatient?"

Yin Xuan nodded: "There is no need to be so impatient, but it is not enough to calm down."

Zhou Xiaosan was a little stunned, looking at Yin Xuan, his eyes were full of puzzlement.

Yin Xuan wiped the table: "It's back to the question just now, what is a person who uses a knife, and what is a knife that is used?"

Zhou Xiaosan tensed her body and listened quietly.

Yin Xuan went on to say: "Before studying this issue, we must first figure out what is the difference between the two."

Not ready to ask Zhou Xiaosan to give this answer, Yin Xuan went on by himself: "Actually, the difference between them is very simple, the person who wields the sword can swing it at will, but the sword used can only be used by the person who wields it." wave."

Speaking of this, Yin Xuan paused and couldn't help laughing.

"That sounds like crap."

"Let's talk about the essence. The person who uses the knife can make his own rules, and the knife used can only play under this rule."

The doubts in Zhou Xiaosan's eyes disappeared a little, but soon another burst of doubts surged up. He felt as if he had grasped something, but he couldn't say what it was.

Yin Xuan's eyes lit up slightly, and his tone became a little more serious: "This sentence can also be understood in this way. A person who can make rules is a person who uses a knife, but a person who cannot make rules and can only play under the rules made by others is The knife being used."

Human beings label themselves with such things as "morality", "etiquette" and "law", but the essence of human society will not change because of these things.

It's just that the primitive and bloody methods have changed from fists to feet, teeth and elbows, to a more elegant method.

Zhou Xiaosan nodded thoughtfully.

"So, why don't you try to be the person who makes the rules by yourself?" Yin Xuan glanced at Zhou Xiaosan, with a dignified and pointed tone.

Zhou Xiaosan didn't hesitate, stood up directly, bowed to Yin Xuan, lowered his head to his waist, showing his inhuman flexibility: "Please Dalang for advice."

Yin Xuan looked at him and said with a smile: "Would that group of bad people be more willing to obey your orders, or would they rather obey the orders of the county government?"

Zhou Xiaosan didn't hesitate: "I don't know about the bad people in Wannian County and Jingzhao Mansion, but the bad people in Chang'an County are more willing to listen to someone's orders."

He wasn't lying.

The training of folding quilts, standing posture, and marching did make those bad people miserable, but after persevering, they also got rewards.

Whether it is the common people or the county government, they like their new style very much.

Of course, this does not mean that the relationship between the bad people and the county government has eased, and they are more likely to attribute this credit to Zhou Xiaosan.

They could see what Zhou Xiaosan did.

As a county lieutenant, he carried out orders, ate, drank and lived with them. Among many subjects, Zhou Xiaosan was almost the first in all of them. This was the reason why these bad people could persist in these subjects.

Zhou Xiaosan did the same.

This is also the reason why Chang'an County and Jingzhao Prefecture have also implemented this method, but it has not been successful.Bad people are domesticated like dogs, but the group of county captains are high above them, drinking and eating meat, watching them do nothing.

Yin Xuan knocked on the table again, with a smile on his lips: "So, isn't this obvious?"

"Let those bad people follow your rules, not the county government's rules, no matter what you are now, or what you will be in the future."

"As long as they are there, won't you always be the one wielding a knife?"

Yin Xuan only gave a general idea, and the other contents are not very detailed.

But Zhou Xiaosan is a smart person.

In fact, after Yin Xuan uttered the words "making rules", he knew what he should do, but he couldn't comprehend these words by himself, and Yin Xuan had to wake him up.

This is also a nomination certificate.

Zhou Xiaosan complied, and then asked, "Dalang, then I'm going to respond to the request of Chang'an County and Jingzhao Mansion to train bad people. Do you think it's appropriate?"

This is where he hesitated.

It's not that he doesn't know that this is a good thing for him, it's just that he thinks that this kind of thing will be a bit overstepping for those high-ranking officials.

"Why is it inappropriate?" Yin Xuan asked back. He looked at Zhou Xiaosan with some inexplicable meaning in his eyes, "You are an official now."

"He is an eighth-rank official of the imperial court. He is in the eyes of His Majesty. He is a celebrity in the capital."

"No matter how close you are to bad people, they are just knives in your hand."

"You and the group of people who are also officials are in the same group."
