Three Kingdoms video king: The opening inventory of the top ten fighters!

Chapter 213
What Zeng Guofan said, he himself can take the lead in doing it meticulously, and he does it very well.

For example, the second son, Zeng Jize, likes western sociology, Zeng Jihong likes mathematics and physics. Although Zeng Guofan knows nothing, he can do his best to understand and study hard. Such a father is worthy of being a real "diligent and housekeeper" father.

Under the influence of Zeng Guofan, Zeng Jize would always personally teach the children English, mathematics, music, and also teach them calligraphy, writing poetry, and explaining classics and history. Accompany the family, this is the best family education.

Therefore, among Zeng Guofan's descendants, great-grandchildren, and even great-great-grandsons, there are many scientists, educators, and social activists.

Zeng Guofan's nickname "Zeng Shaved the Head" was not obtained because he killed the Taiping Army, but because he opened a trial bureau in Changsha and killed too many so-called "bandits" in Hunan.

Is there anyone who killed the wrong person?Yes, the prefect of Changsha at that time was called Cang Jingtian. He wrote a memoir, which recorded that Zeng Guofan’s trial bureau killed at least 4 people by mistake because of one case. It was an unjust case, but Zeng Guofan killed the good people. Yes, let the bad guy go.

Personality cultivation is helpful to Zeng Guofan's career. The first is sincerity, being consistent with the outside and the inside, and everything can be made public.

The second is reverence, reverence, no evil thoughts in the heart, dignified and dignified posture.

The third is tranquility. The mind, qi, spirit, and body must be in a state of tranquility and relaxation.

The fourth word is sincere, do not speak big words, lies, or empty words, and be honest, one is one, and two is two.

The fifth word is Heng, which means regular life, regular diet, and regular daily life. The highest state is "being cautious and independent", and there is a god in the three feet above the head.

He kept a diary every day, checked and reflected on his words and deeds every day, and continued to put forward more demands on himself throughout the second half of his life:
Be diligent and thrifty, be humble, be merciful, be honest, know your destiny, cherish your blessings, etc., and strive to make yourself a sage at that time.

Many people think that personality cultivation is an empty thing, and that self-cultivation is illusory, even pedantic, but Zeng Guofan's lifelong career, self-cultivation is the most important reason for his career success. Zeng Guofan believes:
"There are about five things in the method of health preservation: one is to sleep and eat consistently, the other is to punish anger, the third is to abstain from desire, the fourth is to wash feet every night before going to bed, and the fifth is to walk [-] steps every day after two meals."

In the way of keeping in good health, the four characters of "seeing", "rest", "sleeping" and "eating" are the most important.

And Zeng Guofan's early life regimen has thirteen main ways:
[-]. Respect to the Lord (Neat and solemn, fearless at all times, when nothing happens, keep your heart in your chest; when dealing with things, be single-minded and not miscellaneous.)
[-]. Sitting quietly (no matter what time of the day, sit quietly for a while, to recover your benevolence, take your seat and consolidate your life, like a town of tripods.)
[-]. Get up early (Get up at dawn, don’t fall in love after waking up.)
[-]. Good reading
[-]. Reading history (circle ten pages every day, even if there is something to do.)
Sixth, be careful (keep careful.)
[-]. Cultivate Qi (Qi is stored in Dantian, there is nothing that cannot be said to others.)
[-]. Keeping one’s health (abstinence, labor, and diet.)
[-]. Keep a diary (it must be in regular script, and write down all your physical, mental, and verbal mistakes during the day, uninterrupted for life.)
[-]. What is known by the day and what is lost
Eleven, month without forgetting what you can do (compose a few poems every month, to check the amount of accumulation and reason, and whether it is full of nourishment.)
[-]. Write calligraphy (write calligraphy after breakfast, and treat it as your own homework if you socialize with pen and ink.)
Thirteen, do not go out at night
One day, the weather was fine, and the young Zeng Guofan came home from school. As soon as he put down his schoolbag, his father said anxiously:
"I obviously boiled five eggs, how come there are only four?"

So he called Zeng Guofan and said to him:
"The hard-boiled eggs are for you to share. Now there is one missing. I don't know who stole it. Quickly check it out for your mother."

Zeng Guofan thought for a moment and replied:

"It's easy, I have a way to find out."

After all, Zeng Guofan took out a washbasin, poured several cups of tea, called all the family members together, asked everyone to drink a sip of tea, and spit it into the basin. He stood by and observed, and a servant spit out There is egg yolk powder in the tea.

Zeng Guofan's father was very happy, thinking that his son was smart and could be an official to try cases in the future.

Fuhoutang is the former residence of Zeng Guofan, and the four golden characters of "Yiyong Hou Di" hang on the gate.

"Hou Mansion" was built during the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, and Zeng Guofan commissioned his younger brother to build it at home. It is said that when the house was built, the Zeng Guofan brothers treated the master craftsmen very well, but they were harsh to ordinary apprentices.

When the new house was built, it was necessary to recite the "Shangliang Wen", and the master masonry master praised it and chanted it in the lotus leaf dialect: "The governor of Liangjiang is too thin, and he wants to be the emperor in Beijing."

No one is born outstanding. Zeng Guofan is a warrior who was born on the battlefield, and a capable minister who was trained in the officialdom. Some people praised him as "the most perfect person in the ages." — Zeng Guofan.

But if you look through his resume carefully, you will find that Zeng Guofan before the age of 30 can be said to be quite mediocre.

At the age of 14, he took the county examination and took the examination 7 times. He was not admitted to the scholar until the age of 23, and his ranking was the second last.

Anyone who has read history knows that it was under his leadership that China built the first ship in history; established the first military engineering school; printed and translated the first batch of Western books... It is said that he promoted China's modernization process Not at all.

So this "perfect man" with mediocre talent but admired by all great men, what did he rely on to achieve such an achievement.

It all started when Zeng Guofan went to the capital to become an official. As the eldest son of his family, when he first arrived in the capital, he immediately wrote a letter to his family to report his safety, and hoped that his parents would "write letters with cumbersomeness as the most important thing."

Being able to be so considerate to his parents in his early 20s shows that Zeng Guofan has a very pure heart, which is also the foundation of his life.

In the next 30 years, he had nearly 1500 letters of correspondence with his family. The seemingly ordinary calls contained wisdom in management, understanding people, communicating, managing the family, and teaching children.

In the 22nd year of Daoguang, he wrote to you brothers:
"Since the first day of October, when I decided to start a new life, although I have been lazy, I have written a diary in regular script every day, read ten pages of history every day, and recorded tea and talked about it every day. These three things have not been interrupted for a day."

Since I made up my mind to improve myself in October, although I am still lazy, I have written a diary in regular script every day, read ten pages of history, and recorded occasional conversations after tea every day. These three things have never stopped for a day.
