Guo Jin has always gained a foothold in the court with a kind and generous person.

According to Guo Peng's arrangement, he used this as the starting point to build his reputation, which formed a certain contrast with Guo Peng's strictness.

But sometimes some things are really irritating the more you think about them.

Even though Guo Jin had already made a decision, they still talked about it, thinking that this was wrong and that was wrong, so let Guo Jin think about it again and again.

He is quite rude and does not do his own things, but interferes with what Guo Jin should do as a county magistrate.

This is what you have to do and that is what you have to do. There is no unified view between them. Sometimes two people will quarrel over one thing and will not take Guo Jin's decision into consideration.

Such various things made Guo Jin feel unhappy.

Guo Jin didn't know when he started to feel that this kind of getting along was not suitable for him, but unhappiness actually existed.

Realizing this, Guo Jin realized the source of his unhappiness.

His power was questioned.

People always like to be more and more frugal, and it is not easy to realize the changes in their identities and mentalities in time.

It was not easy and timely they realized what had changed deep in Guo Jin's heart.

When Guo Jin became more and more like a lord than an ordinary person, he no longer needed anything other than their talents and loyalty.

Although he was still hiding and enduring, if they were smart enough, they should know what could no longer be done.

But obviously, they haven't.

From the small to the big, Guo Jin began to worry that when he truly grasped power, when the bond between them changed from emotion to power, will these people continue to gain a better position at the level of power?

After thinking a little, Guo Jin felt that this kind of thing was very likely to happen.

Emotions are shared by them, but power is not.

If Guo Jin can still tolerate emotionally, it will definitely not be acceptable in terms of power.

Guo Jin is a firm supporter and successor of Guo Peng's centralized power and powerful will. He has always believed that it is important to hold power, and centralized power is important. Power must never be easily granted to others.

Power must be in the central government.

The emperor is in control!

Power is not something to laugh at. It will definitely not exist for Guo Jin to distribute power while talking and laughing.

He began to expect someone to realize this and make targeted changes to maintain respect for him.

Respect his authority, respect his identity and decisions.

But unfortunately, so far, only Lu Yi has done this clearly, and even Lu Yu has not done it well.

Guo Jin believes that the reason why Lu Yi did this was that Lu Yi was smart on the one hand, and on the other hand, Lu Yi did not grow up with him since childhood and did not have that kind of unnecessary feelings.

Lu Yi knew the superiors and inferiors of the superiors and subordinates, and knew the importance of the matter, and knew what to say and what not to say. He also treated his relationship with Guo Jin carefully, and strictly abide by the boundaries and etiquette of the monarch and his subjects.

But his friends did not realize that their relationship was no longer completely linked with emotions.

Guo Jin's official position is the county magistrate, who holds the power of a county.

This power is not great, and it can even be said to be relatively small, but when Cao Tai, Xiahou Heng and others took power with him, they already had a preliminary relationship between superiors and subordinates.

Some power has been incorporated into their relationship, rather than simple emotions.

Sometimes, he even feels disgusted by these behaviors of his childhood playmates.

There is also a vague idea of ​​severely punishing them to establish their own authority.

Guo Jin felt a little uneasy about this idea, because there was a voice in Guo Jin's heart that told him that these friends were thinking about him.

But he just hates it and doesn't want to accept this kind of thought.

So he raised this uneasiness to Guo Peng, was confused about his psychology, and hoped to get help from Guo Peng.

Guo Peng seemed very happy.

Because he felt that Guo Jin had developed his sense of power and began to understand the principle that power could not be invaded by others.

This is very good.

"This is correct, this is not a doubt, and you did nothing wrong. You don't have to worry, because you are alone, you don't need friends, you just need subordinates."

Guo Peng once again instilled this concept into Guo Jin and continued to warn him.

"But you are not the emperor yet, so you cannot really get angry or punished. You still need to be respectful to the wise and humble. Even if you pretend or to endure, you should do this and convince others with reason. Just like that, you can take advantage of this time to observe it carefully.

You must observe carefully and see who is the one who can truly entrust the important task after you ascend the throne. Your respect and your favor are not his own support. People who cannot recognize their identity and situation cannot truly entrust the important task."

Guo Peng firmly engraved this will in the depths of Guo Jin's mind, making Guo Jin remember what Guo Peng said every time he gets along with his small team in the future.

So, Guo Jin learned to endure.

But Guo Peng told Guo Jin again that some things cannot be tolerated, and he must keep a bottom line and clearly tell this group of people that they cannot cross this bottom line.

Within a certain range, control your emotions and stick to your bottom line so that they know that some things cannot be overcome.

Guo Jin felt it was difficult to do this, so he asked Guo Peng how he controlled the Cao Xiahou family's personal general who had come with him since childhood, and what he wanted to learn from it.

In Guo Jin's memory, the relatives of the Cao Xiahou family never dared to violate Guo Peng's orders.

Guo Peng's orders are the same.

Whether it is the arrogant and domineering Cao Hong or the Cao Ren who has made great achievements in war, they dare not disobey it and do whatever they want.

"It's all made, I've been made since I was a kid."

Guo Peng couldn't help laughing: "It's also a fault for being a father. I didn't tell you as soon as possible, but the environment you are in is different from being a father. When I lived for a father, the world was going to be in chaos and the order was on the verge of collapse. The people were tough, and everyone was accustomed to using weapons to reason with fists.

In the living environment of being a father, if you are not strong, you will be bullied, and killing is common. In some areas, every household has weapons. When you are a farmer in a good year, you will go out to rob and kill people in a disaster year. When you walk on the road, you will be accustomed to seeing rotten corpses or bones.

At that time, it was not like this now. Wei State was powerful. He explicitly prohibited private armed battles by his father and implemented a salt and iron official camp, and confiscated civil weapons. The people gradually lost the atmosphere of bravery and fierce fighting. At that time, he was disagreeing with each other and it was not a rare thing to kill people in the street..."

Guo Peng slowly told Guo Jin about his childhood.

That era is only thirty or forty years ago, and the times are not far away. People of the same age as Guo Peng still have memories of the past.

However, after Guo Jin grew up, this situation basically no longer occurs.

The people of the Wei Empire restored stability and peace, and the grassroots were also controlled by the powerful power tentacles of the Wei Empire, and they were no longer the civil chaos in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

If the government is corrupt and incompetent, cannot control the local area, cannot give the people a certain sense of security, and even becomes a security destroyer, then the people will spontaneously protect themselves.

The people will hold weapons uncontrollably, actively practice martial arts, and establish various self-defense organizations, so that the social phenomenon of "strong people's customs" appears, and the government is unable to intervene.

However, no matter how strong the folk customs are, they are quite powerless in the face of highly organized professional army and professional armies. An disordered society will further devour the vitality of the country and destroy the foundation of unification, which will eventually bring painful consequences.

Just like in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

If the government is strong and conscientious, ordinary people can have a sense of security, then they will naturally not have the idea of ​​self-defense, so the action to ban civilian weapons will be very smooth.

This was something Guo Peng began to work hard to promote after he became the governor of Qingzhou.

Guo Jin's generation is growing up in such an environment. Of course, they will not be like Guo Peng when he was young. If he is not fierce, it will be difficult to gain a foothold in the local area.

Guo Jin didn't need to learn from Guo Peng, and he used sticks to beat the Cao Xiahou clan to establish his status as the king of children.

"When my father was young, there were many powerful families in the place, every household had private soldiers, and the young children also practiced martial arts since childhood and were very brave and fierce. When my father was born in such an environment, he naturally became very brave and fierce.

He fought for his father all year round, and brought the Cao Xiahou clan and other powerful clans who were in groups. He had to fight dozens of times a year, and he could fight several times a month. Sometimes he even made a ruthless move and could beat the other party up all over his body."

Guo Peng said this, and Guo Jin listened with great enthusiasm, as if he was very interested in it.

But that's not the point.

"Every time they fight in a group, they will rush to the front and lead them to fight, rush to the front and beat the most, and they will suffer the most injuries. Therefore, they have developed the habit of obedience to the father since childhood, which is also an unexpected gain for the father, and this is something you can't learn."

Guo Peng told Guo Jin the key point.

"My son understands what the father means."

Guo Jin nodded, indicating that he understood.

"The folk customs of my father when he was young were very brave and fierce, so my father could make the Cao Xiahou family obey his father in this way and dare not disobey him. However, when his son grew up with them, such folk customs no longer existed."

"Yes, you cannot and do not have to obtain their obedience in the way of being a father. You have to obtain their obedience in your own way, the most suitable way for you, and solve the problems you face. If you try your best and still have disobedient people, then you have to pay attention."

Guo Peng reminded Guo Jin.

Guo Jin pursed his lips and nodded.

"Son understand."

"Um."

Guo Peng expressed satisfaction with Guo Jin's awareness.

This is the only way to be decent. Power has a strong exclusivity. What cannot be tolerated is that it cannot be tolerated, and there is no reason.

Guo Jin was just a county magistrate and had some power. At this time, there were some doubts and challenges in his ruling team.

This is unconscious and a kind of inertia, but if it is not curbed as soon as possible and changed as soon as possible, then when Guo Jin takes over greater power in the future, he will face greater problems.

These people are afraid of Guo Peng, but not Guo Jin. Guo Jin does not need their fear at present, but respect cannot be without it.

The room for emotions in the power field is so small that it is almost impossible to accommodate two people at the same time.

Of course, what should be done specifically is Guo Jin's business, and Guo Peng will not interfere.
