Liu Bei ordered Chengdu not to make wine. What did the minister do?

2 14 years, which lasted for three years, Liu Bei finally captured Yizhou. But at this time, the national treasury was empty and there was a drought, so Liu Bei decided to ban the relatively large brewing industry at that time.

But after the order was given, the official who handled the matter misunderstood the meaning. Not only the people who secretly brewed wine were caught, but also those who had brewing tools at home were caught.

The response caused by this incident is very bad. Jian Yong, as a loyal subordinate of Liu Bei, wanted to react to this matter with him, but he knew Liu Bei's temper. If you tell him directly to his face, he will definitely make a big blush.

So Jian Yong thought of a way. Once when he was walking with Liu Bei, he saw a man and a woman walking by the river. He suddenly had a plan and said to Liu Bei, "These two people are so close. I think they must be doing something embarrassing. They should be arrested immediately! "

Liu Bei was stunned by Jian Yong, so go. Why did he show his face like you said? So he asked Jian Yong, "How do you know that people are going to commit crimes? Maybe you can tell a fortune? "

Jian Yong smiled: "No, I'm saving for a rainy day. Although they have not committed crimes yet, they may commit crimes in the future, so if we arrest them now, we can prevent them from committing crimes in the future! "

After listening, Liu Bei understood his meaning and knew that he meant brewing wine. Liu Bei didn't do well So when he got back, he released all the innocent people, and Jian Yong succeeded in achieving his goal.

Jian Yong's words and tactics can be seen from this incident.

First of all, he wanted to convince Liu Bei, so he laid hands on Liu Bei. Liu Bei's character was analyzed first, and it was judged that it was not suitable to talk to him directly, so Jian Yong took a roundabout way.

This reflects the first step of the strategy. If you want to succeed, you must first know your opponent or the object you want to succeed, and know yourself and know yourself.

The second step is to turn accusations into suggestions. If the other party does something wrong, or you want to comment, if you want to avoid conflict, it's best not to criticize directly, because no one likes to listen to criticism.

Why don't you give a simple example like Jian Yong's, and put what you want to say and express in this example to make the other person understand. This not only saves the other person's face, shows your respect for him, but also successfully expresses your views.

There is another thing worth learning from Jian Yong, that is, he has always maintained a relatively humble attitude, and found that the other party was wrong and did not condemn it. When reminding each other, take your own ideas as an example to narrow the distance. This is also one of the strategies, because when others are in a higher psychological position than you, they are more likely to accept your opinion.
