Friends of the book club:

Hello, everyone.

We are very familiar with the story of Qi Huangong IX and the Prince conquering the world. Now let's review the historical fragments:

When we push the camera to Qi Huangong as king, who will be the prime minister is very important and the most tangled problem. As an official position that assists the monarch and holds the highest power of the country, it is related to the future of the country and must not be taken lightly.

Bao Shu told Huan Gong that if you want to achieve the overlord's career, you must take charge of it. So Huan Gong reused Guan Zhong, and Bao Shugen lived under him, eventually becoming a generation overlord.

Later generations praised Qi Huangong as the first of the five tyrants in the Spring and Autumn Period. We have seen Qi Huangong's broad mind of being eclectic and meritocratic. We saw that Qi Huangong won the respect of countless soldiers after he appointed Guan Zhong, and we also saw Qi Huangong's boldness of vision of dominating the world and pointing out the country.

Confucius said, "Duke Huan and the Nine Kings don't need chariots, but also control the power of the clock." This sentence of Confucius fully affirmed Guan Zhong's talent. Guan Zhong helped Qi Huangong carry out a series of reforms in Qi, implemented the system of military and political integration and integration of defense and civilian technologies, advocated "respecting the king and rejecting foreign countries", and finally helped Qi Huangong gain hegemony.

Qi Huangong's monarchical bearing and Guan Zhong's great talent are obvious to all. The rise of Qi is an indisputable fact, but what impressed me the most was Bao Shu, who strongly recommended Guan Zhong as prime minister and lived under him.

Sima Qian said: "There are not many sages in the world who praise Guan Zhong, but there are many who know people in Bao Shu." Everyone in the world does not praise Guan Zhong's talent, but even praises Bao Zhi Xian's talent. It can be seen that Bao has a pair of talented eyes and great wisdom in knowing people and employing people.

Han Yu mentioned in Ma Shuo: "There is Bole in the world, and then there is a swift horse. There are often swift horses, but Bole is not often. "

Guan Zhong's talent is real, a swift horse. However, without the Bole introduced by Bao, Guan Zhong's boundless ability would not be able to display the talent of the Prime Minister, and it would be in vain.

We often marvel at those talented people who are familiar to the public. They may be brilliant, stand out from the crowd, or they may be sharp-edged. In short, they are swift horses whose talents have been discovered.

We will also meet some talented people who are "just beautiful" or have some talents without knowing it. One day, by chance, we met a talented person with a bright eye and knowledge of Bole, restored its elegant demeanour, and made it different from ordinary horses in the field it was good at.

But there are still some talented people who are not so lucky. They have never been discovered by Bole and disappeared from the public. As Han Yu wrote, "Although a famous horse is only a slave, it is not called a thousand miles."

Confucius said that a threesome must have a teacher. There are many talented people in the world, and there are also many people who specialize in one skill, but most people have no chance to give full play to their talents. Bole is a person who discovers talents and gives them opportunities. Without Bole, these talents have been buried by society, so it is considered that a swift horse is rare, and it is actually Bole that is rare.

Bole's talent lies in its eyes, which can identify the ability of ordinary people to "know that they can walk the Wan Li Road". There are many ordinary people who don't have the ability to know horses. However, there are not many Bole people with discerning eyes, and there is no chance to meet them. Maxima meets Bole who can find talents at the right time, and everything is the best. This is the blessing of Maxima and Bole.

A passage from the Biography of Yan Guan:

This passage records the past of Guan Zhong and Bao. Through these words, we can really see the model of treating people with everything:

When Guan Zhong and Bao do business together, Guan Zhong gets more benefits. Bao Shu Ya doesn't think Guan Zhong is a greedy man because he is poor. Guan Zhong helped out with the idea, and as a result, he screwed up. Bao didn't think Guan Zhong was stupid, but comforted him because the time was not yet ripe.

Guan Zhong was an official for three times, but he was dismissed every time. Bao thinks that Guan Zhong is not without talent, but has not met anyone who appreciates him. Guan Zhong used to lead troops to fight. Every time he ran away, Bao didn't think Guan Zhong was timid and afraid of death, because Guan Zhong had an old mother to serve. Miyako was defeated for a long time, and Guan Zhong was imprisoned and humiliated. Bao doesn't think Guan Zhong is shameless, but he doesn't stick to details. He is ashamed of his reputation.

Bao felt that Guan Zhong's talent was above himself, and he defended Guan Zhong in everything, trying to cover up his shortcomings. He cherishes his talents out of love. Guan Zhong also said: "My parents know steamed stuffed bun." An intimate sigh.

Bole's heart is compassionate because of understanding and broad because of the same reason.

Bole will find talents and know that a swift horse should be treated like a swift horse, and it is impossible to pull a cart to give full play to its advantages and create miracles like a coolie.

Han Yu's Ma Shuo mentioned: "A horse can travel thousands of miles, so it can eat one stone at a time", and "If you want to be with a regular horse, why not make it travel thousands of miles?"

Bole knows the difference between a swift horse and an ordinary horse. A horse that walks a thousand miles a day can sometimes eat a stone of grain. The people who feed the horse don't know that it can walk thousands of miles every day and feed it like an ordinary horse. Such a horse, even if it has the ability to travel thousands of miles a day, is not full of food and lacks strength, and its talent and excellent quality cannot be shown. If it wants to be like an ordinary horse, how can it be required to walk thousands of miles a day?

The way of Bole lies in mastering how to find a swift horse and how to tap the potential of a seemingly ordinary horse to make it a real swift horse.

Whip a swift horse in the right way, do what you can, listen to its screams and understand its meaning. This is the best way for Bole and Maxima to get along.

The way of Bole lies in wisdom, benevolence and righteousness.

Bao is self-aware, knowledgeable, generous and kind, and he is not hostile because he is different from the political path chosen by Guan Zhong. On the contrary, we can see Bao's great wisdom through the historical event that Gong Zijiu and his son competed for the throne. He puts national interests first, has no political prejudice, and knows what kind of talents are suitable to play their talents in what positions.

Because of Guan Bao's friendship, Bao Shuya also won the praise and respect of many famous writers in history.

When we appreciate the vigorous galloping of a swift horse, we seldom think of Bole who carefully feeds this swift horse;

When we lament those talents who have made great achievements, we seldom think of looking for Bole behind these talents;

Maxima is common, but Bole is not.

There are many talented people in the world, but few people find their talents.

Thank you for listening. This is the sharing of today's book club.
