Zeng Guofan warned his brother: I have to borrow money often if I have nothing to do! After careful consideration, I found it really ingenious.

Zeng Guofan's life was ups and downs, but he also created a legend for himself.

Behind this legend lies Zeng Guofan's wisdom and experience. Whether it is educating children, working hard in the workplace, or ups and downs in official career, we can learn from Zeng Guofan's philosophy and strategy.

Zeng Guofan mentioned many times in his letters that he borrowed money.

For example, Sun and others have no other livelihood in Beijing, and they have to borrow money at the beginning of winter, so they can't send back the money they support. What a shame.

During the Spring Festival this year, the man borrowed 520 taels of silver in addition to paying 6000 yuan to go to the club.

It can be seen that Zeng Guofan is not so rich in Beijing and often lives by borrowing money. Not only that, Zeng Guofan also warned his younger brother in his family letter: always borrow money if you have nothing to do! After careful consideration, I found that it was really clever!

1, borrow money, don't let others set you up.

As the saying goes, "wealth is not exposed", when others know that you have money, there will be some malicious people to calculate you.

Everyone knows about Brother Tai. After he became popular, most people in the village came to him for money. Brother Tai borrowed more than one million yuan a year, but no one paid it back.

So is Yun-peng Yue. After he became popular, a little boy often asked him for money. Yun-peng Yue borrowed it because he thought it was difficult, but later he borrowed it often and more and more every time. Finally, Yun-peng Yue was helpless and stopped contacting him.

Zeng Guofan warned his younger brother to borrow money often if he has something to do, that is, to prevent being calculated by others. Others watched your brother become an official in the imperial court and borrow money. He can only laugh, so no one thought of calculating the Tseng family.

2. Borrowing money to establish honesty

Borrowing money, ostensibly borrowing money, is actually borrowing trust, and others will lend you money only if they trust you.

Because of this society, people's hearts are separated. Some people borrow money with one face and pay back money with one mouth.

Some people even lent money to the enemy because they borrowed money. Not only did they not pay back the money, but they also made a scene.

In fact, such people get something for nothing, but lose their integrity. People no longer trust you, and your road is not long.

Because you are a dishonest person, no one will help you and no one wants to be your friend, so the road will get narrower and narrower in the future.

It is easy to borrow, but it is not difficult to borrow again. If you return the money to others as promised, people will think that you are an honest and trustworthy person and will lend it to you next time you are in trouble.

Borrowing money can test people's hearts.

As the saying goes, "A friend in need is a friend indeed". You can know who is sincere and who is not sincere by borrowing money once.

In this world, everyone has difficulties, and there are so many friends around, some can share the difficulties with you, and some just want to get rich with you.

Some people value money very much. When you are in trouble, they avoid it. Some people value friendship very much. Even if you are in trouble, they will try their best to lend you money to help you.

If you think about it carefully, Zeng Guofan's warning to his younger brother that he "borrows money all the time" is quite reasonable. If you borrow money once, you can build your own integrity. Once you borrow money, you will know who is sincere and who is not.

Finally, when it comes to the late Qing Dynasty, the international situation changed suddenly, and the rule of the Qing Dynasty was even more precarious.
