In the long history of China, there are many stories that people talk about, and one of the legends about Qianlong, Ji Xiaolan and He Shen is even more amazing. Looking back on a "Iron Tooth Bronze Tooth Ji Xiaolan" 20 years ago, we found a wonderful iron triangle combination: Qianlong,Shrewd and wise, and likes to play tricks on others; Ji Xiaolan,Integrity and integrity but lack of flexibility; There is also Heshen, who is insatiable and exquisite.
Any two-person combination of the Iron Triangle can create a dramatic effect greater than three, but in this group of wonders, the image of He Shen is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. He is short with a round head and a round brainCunning as a fox, he is at ease in the intertwined officialdom, and has become a cunning horse in Qianlong's power and chess game.
In the early years of Qianlong's reign,The national treasury of silver was 34.53 million taels, but in the last years of Qianlong, it was as high as 70 million taels. Behind this fiscal balance is the fact that Qianlong lived a luxurious life. Every time you go to the south of the Yangtze River, you have to organize a thousand ships, and the entourage is as high as 20,000 people, which needs money to support.
It was at this time that He Shen made his debut and became the Minister in Charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, managing Qianlong's "private small treasury". The financial balance in the early years of Qianlong was not a coincidence, but He Shen was well versed in the way of officialdomGood at pondering the results of the emperor's thoughts. He had as many as 75 pawnshops and silver horns under his name, and monopolized import and export through the Thirteen Lines of Guangzhou and the East India Company, successfully solving Qianlong's financial problems.
It is undeniable that Qianlong's extravagant life is also an indisputable fact. His most expensive meal can eat 150,000 taels**. The entourage in the south of the Yangtze River includes the guards, the imperial doctor, the imperial kitchen, the concubine, etcThere are about 20,000 people in total, and these people need to eat and drink a lot of money.
He Shen did not simply spend money on Qianlong's extravagant life. On the contrary,He cleverly proposed the system of "guilty silver".Solve the country's financial problems by means of fines. This system allows ** to be exempted from a certain penalty by paying silver, in short, by paying money for sin. This flexible financial means not only effectively solved the treasury problem, but also won Qianlong's attention for Heshen.
According to statistics, there have been 68 major crimes in just 13 yearsThe fine is usually around 30,000 taelsEven up to 384,000 taels at a time. This system exacerbated corruption in Qing officialdom, but it also provided Qianlong with financial support that made him more politically calm.
He Shen's ingenuity is not only reflected in the financial situation, but also in dealing with embarrassing situations. Once in the early dynasty, Qianlong put a fart on the dragon chair, and the other ministers looked embarrassed. And He Shen, who was standing among the courtiers, did not make any exaggerated movesskillfully relieved the siege for QianlongDemonstrated a high level of emotional intelligence.
This "clever" Heshen,It's not just Qianlong's financial advisorsHe is also a workplace master who knows how to cater to his immediate boss. He skillfully balanced political power and intrigues, both to solve the financial problems for Qianlong and to always maintain the dignity of the emperor.
He Shen is not only a smart politician,He is also a successful entrepreneur. His business acumen and economic acumen make him stand out in officialdom. Through the monopoly of the Thirteen Banks of Canton and the East India Company, as well as the possession of a large number of pawnshops and silver trumpets, he won himself a large fortune.
Although the system of discussing guilt and money exacerbated the corruption of officialdom, in Qianlong's view, He Shen's ability and contribution made him tolerate the system. In Qianlong's later years,He may no longer be able to carry out large-scale reforms of officialdom, and the presence of He Shen provides him with a means of political trade-offs that allow him to deal with all kinds of troubles.
Looking back on this history, people can't help but think: in the workplace, how to be as good at pondering the mind of a leader as He ShenSolve problems and increase your own value? How to navigate complex schemesStriking a balance between the interests of all parties?
Perhaps, it is He Shen, a master of politics and businessWe were left with a profound lesson in the workplace. In modern society, although we are no longer in the feudal officialdom system, learning from Shen's wit and intelligence, and striving to improve one's emotional intelligence and workplace skills is undoubtedly a wise path to success.
What do you think is in the modern workplace,How can you be as comfortable in scheming as He Shen without losing your principles? Welcome to leave a message to share your views, and let's work together on this thought-provoking topic.
