Learning content: Chinese translation Wang Mang also gave 10 million yuan to the left and right attendants of the Empress Dowager (Wang Zhengjun) out of the 37 million additional betrothal gifts given to the queen.

Although Wang Mang was authoritative, he used his deceit, bewilderment, and flattery to please the Empress Dowager. Down to the Chang Yu (the head of the palace maids) who served on the left and right, he used various methods to bribe tens of millions.

He also suggested that the elder and younger sisters of the Empress Dowager should be called "Jun" and eat soup and muyi.

Therefore, people around the Empress Dowager praised Wang Mang day and night.

Wang Mang knew that the Empress Dowager was a woman who was tired of living in the deep palace, so he planned to arrange some entertainment programs for her in exchange for the remaining power in her hands.

Therefore, in the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, the Empress Dowager was arranged to go on hunting tours in the surrounding suburbs to meet lonely elderly people and chaste women. In every county she visited, she extended favors to the people and gave them money, silk, cattle and wine, which became a routine.

The Empress Dowager's Nong'er (a son born to an official's maid and Shi Shi, who was given as a naughty boy) was ill and was living outside the house.

Wang Mang went to visit in person.

Wang Mang's methods towards Wang Zhengjun were roughly the same.

Apply what you learn 01, There is a saying that if evil people use righteous methods, the righteous methods are also evil, and if righteous people use evil methods, evil methods are also righteous. Therefore, the method does not depend on whether it is good or bad, but only depends on whether the person using it has a righteous heart. Wang Mang used it on the Empress Dowager

The method is the "Yongjian Chapter" in "The Art of War" by bribing everyone around the Queen Mother to make them become Wang Mang's people, saying good things about Wang Mang, the Queen Mother's every move, the Queen Mother's views and attitudes towards certain things

, will be passed on to Wang Mang one by one. This method is very common, but Wang Mang used it to usurp power. Now, business owners use this method, which is called "golden handcuffs to retain people". What is "golden handcuffs to retain people"?

That is, there will be various incentive mechanisms and welfare mechanisms in the enterprise. For example, as an incentive target, if you complete the goal or exceed the goal, you will not only get the incentive shares granted in advance, but also have the opportunity to obtain

Other rewards such as the "Filial Piety Fund" are used to send money directly to parents, such as gifts for wives, gifts for children, family travel, and even foreign travel, etc. There is only one purpose: to inspire these people to create greater

At the same time, it also develops the people around these people into people in the company. Think about it, if one day, this person plans to leave his job, either to go alone or to go to a competitor. No matter which one it is, the pressure on him will

The cost is very high. First of all, you have to pass the hurdles of your parents and wife. After all, the probability of success in starting a business is extremely low.

? The second estimate is more difficult.

If it is really necessary to start a business, the company will also have an incentive plan for starting a business waiting for him. He will not become a competitor of the company, but will only become a link in the company's ecological chain. If the company has a share, he himself can

With the help of the company's resources and influence, the probability of success can be increased. Any boss who understands the full life cycle of equity incentive plans will use the "golden handcuffs to retain people" method. To put it another way, this can be regarded as a routine.

However, this routine is a way that makes people comfortable and a way to achieve success, and everyone is willing to accept it.

Therefore, the same method, different intentions, different purposes, the final results are different.

02. The way to make a person incompetent is to use him with a low level and a large number of things, making him so busy that he has no time to study, no time to be dazed, no time to think, and finally, he cannot keep up with the development needs of the company.

At that time, they laid off employees. This is the practice of many companies. In Sun Tzu's Art of War: "Serving the princes with industry" is to arrange some business work for the other party, distract his mind, and occupy his time and energy. Back then, the King of Han sent a water conservancy master - Zheng Guolai

The Qin State built canals for the same purpose. Wang Mang also used this trick, so that the Empress Dowager had no time to deal with power matters, and then left them to Wang Mang. She had no time to care about how Wang Mang handled them, until Wang Mang usurped the throne.

, everything is too late 03, so why didn’t the Empress Dowager realize it?

There may be several reasons: 1. Her sense of identity has never changed.

? She always thought that the Wang family was her main identity, not the Liu family. For example, there was an incident on the Internet before. After a woman got married, she secretly took a large sum of money from her family to build a house for her natal brother, and

Her husband doesn't know yet.

This is also a problem of no change in identity awareness 2, no political thinking, and insensitivity to Wang Mang's behavior.

Grand Master Kong Guang felt that Wang Mang's behavior was strange. He felt scared and resigned.

3. She is old.
