“When a person is just born, there is not much difference. As long as he is fed and clothed, it is enough. The difference lies in what happens after he develops intelligence.
At this time, the differences between people will be revealed one by one. Some people are led by teachers, just like an old cow teaching a calf to plow a field and pull a cart. If someone has a teacher, they will progress faster. Without education, progress will be slower, and you may even live in ignorance all your life...
Without considering the monster, there will be a big difference between those who have read and those who have not read...
Thus, the distinction between upper and lower was established... In ancient times, people practiced slash-and-burn farming and had a hard time surviving. They could only survive by sharing what they had and working together as a group.
It was because some people got food. Some people get less food, so they have selfish thoughts..."
At the beginning of human beings, their natures are good, their natures are similar, and their habits are far apart.
Xu Yuanshou actually spoke these twelve words for half an hour. After making sure that Yun Zhao understood the meaning of these twelve words, he put down the book and said.
"I heard that when I came in, you had a fight with your brothers in the clan?"
Yun Zhao nodded and said, "I don't want my mother to put Yun Yang, Yun Shu and the two brothers together." Push him out, the housekeeper said, there are swordsmen and thieves outside Zhuangzi..."
Xu Yuanshou stroked his beard and smiled: "Very good, having this kind heart is more important than your bullshit monster's intelligence." /p>
Keep in mind, kid, troubled times are coming. I will give you more truth while I still have some time.
Otherwise, once troubled times become real. Come, I'm worried that something unspeakable will happen!"
"Sir, what is unspeakable?"
Xu Yuanshou sighed and sat down, saying in a low voice: " Everyone turns into a beast, regardless of anything, paying no attention to anything, and not caring about anything in order to survive.
When beastiality annihilates human nature, the world will only go to destruction. Even God will be shocked by this scene. I don’t want to take another look.”
“The beast is pretty good. I get along very well with the wild boar family. The little wild boar also invited me to suck his mother’s milk, but I refused. However, I remember. People's friendship."
Xu Yuanshou said with a smile: "You were not enlightened at that time, and you were no different from a little wild boar."
Yun Zhao said with a smile: "Only enlightenment can distinguish you. Man and beast, sir, why don't you enlighten me more?"
Xu Yuanshou looked at Yun Zhao's big eyes and said seriously: "If you want me to give you a piece of training, I will teach you Yun Zhao. All the disciples of the family?
It’s absolutely fine to teach them, but they must be trained!”
Yun Zhao untied his clothes and looked down at the fat on his belly. He shook his head and said, "I have no money, and I guess my mother is not willing to pay for it!" Importantly, those with the purest blood will gain the mostTo acquire and grow to a certain extent, and to prevent other tribesmen from acquiring or growing, this approach has a name - strong trunks and weak branches!
The purpose is to ensure that your main family always occupies a high position. "
Yun Zhao smiled and clapped his hands: "This is a good idea! "
Xu Yuanshou said with a smile: "If you, the head of the Yun family, are a genius, you don't need to do anything to strengthen weak branches, because no one can be stronger than you. In this way, you The Yun family will produce talents in large numbers.
If you, Yunzhao, are a graceful and wealthy peony, maybe in your Yun family there will be gorgeous peonies, proud autumn chrysanthemums, cold plum blossoms, lively apricot blossoms, and peach blossoms. , eventually your Yun's garden will be filled with flowers, full of spring colors, and full of vitality.
Even if the peonies, autumn chrysanthemums, and winter plums have withered, there are still countless flowers in full bloom.
A garden like this is beautiful all year round. Even if all the flowers are gone, there are still skinny lotus leaves in the pond for people to remember.
If you, Yunzhao, are the tiger among the kings of beasts, then leopards, wolves, bears, and eagles will appear in your Yun family. As long as such a tiger roars, the scene of all beasts will be over. From then on, the hunting land will naturally continue to expand.
If you, Yun Zhao, are just an apricot blossom, lost in the crowd, then there will only be weeds left in your Yun family’s garden.
If you, Yun Zhao, were just a pig, what do you think would be left in your Yun family’s animal pen?
Yun Zhao sniffed and said with some embarrassment: "There are only some chickens and ducks left. Even the two big white geese raised by my mother are not willing to stay with the pigs." "
Xu Yuanshou looked down at Yun Zhao with his hands behind his back and said: "Now that you understand the truth, if you want the Yun family to become this Qinling Mountains that can accommodate hundreds of beasts, you should still make your Yun family. Into a pigsty? ”
“Sir’s repair is a problem! "
Yun Zhao said with a smile.
Xu Yuanshou chuckled and said: "I don't like the little repair your mother gave you, but I hold you dear. Great expectations.
Boy, your husband has no worries about food and clothing now, and the extra money is unnecessary. However, Mr. Tianxia cannot teach in vain, otherwise he will break the rules.
There is such a story.
Back then, that is, the Spring and Autumn Period that I will tell you about later, there was a law in the State of Lu that as long as someone redeemed a Chinese citizen who had become a slave in a foreign country, the country would give him the money used to redeem him. compensate.
The most sage teacher Confucius had a disciple named Zigong who redeemed Lu people from foreign countries, but refused the country's compensation, thinking that this was a guarantee of his noble character.
Confucius said: "Ci, you are wrong! Collecting compensation from the king will not damage your character, but if you don't receive compensation, no one in the state of Lu will redeem your compatriots who died.
Have you understood this?"
Yun Zhao blinked and said, "That's it., you have to get paid for doing good deeds! The teacher still charges money for teaching more students! ”
“Well, that’s roughly what it means! ”
“But I have no money! ”
“You will have it in the future! Come, sir, teach you how to write an IOU today! ”
“IOU? ”
“Yes, an IOU is a kind of transaction certificate. You have no money now, but you will have money in the future, maybe a lot, a lot of money. Do you want to use your money in the future? Come and pay the homage for your cousins? "
"Yes! ”
“That’s right, do you think ten thousand taels of silver is too much?” ”
Yun Zhao rolled his eyes, feeling that he seemed to have no idea about ten thousand taels of silver. Seeing that the corners of Mr. Xu’s mouth were pulling up strangely, he decided to let him succeed once.
"Not much! My mother has a lot of money and Jin Buyao! "
Xu Yuanshou smiled and said: "It's not much. How about we set a deadline of twenty years? "
"Twenty years? ”
“That’s right, we will make the settlement when you grow up to your mother’s age. Of course, if you are not capable of earning ten thousand taels of silver a year by then, this matter will be dropped, right? fair enough? ”
“Fair enough! ”
Xu Yuanshou laughed loudly, leaned over and wrote two IOUs in a short time using the pen and ink on Yun Zhao’s desk.
After drying the ink, he grabbed Yun Zhao’s hand After he signed his name, he felt uneasy after thinking about it, so he pressed Yun Zhao's hand into the ink pool, put his fingerprints on the two IOUs, then gave one to Yun Zhao with a smile, and kept one for himself.
Finally, he coughed and said: "The contract has been completed, but no one else can know this! Do you understand?
Yun Zhao looked at his proud husband with disdain, nodded heavily and said, "It's about your face. I will hide it so that no one can see it." "
Xu Yuanshou laughed heartily, stroked Yun Zhao's round head and said, "You can teach me, boy! ”
After the first day of schoolwork, Yun Zhao found that he had not gained much except for the debt of ten thousand taels of silver.
Xu Yuanshou may have regarded this as a A means of motivating students is not taken seriously. Yun Zhao even thinks that Xu Yuanshou is very skilled at doing this. Maybe he has signed such unfair agreements with his former students in order to cast a wider net.
However, this kind of gentleman really likes Yun Zhao, and he decided that as long as he has money in the future, he must fulfill this agreement!
After school, Yun Chun carried Yun Zhao on his back! Zhao's beautiful book box, Yunhua carried Yun Zhao's food box, although it was possible to go to the back house through two doors, Yun Zhao did not go back, turned around and went out of the door.
Winter is not yet here. In the past, the breath of spring has been faintly heard.
The remaining snow on the ground has faded away, revealing the moist land.
Butler Yunfu is standing outside the gate, directing the two. A servant was sawing a big tree. The sound of the saw was very pleasant, but it was just that the saw was being cut.The big tree was very pitiful, and Yun Zhao seemed to be able to hear it screaming.
"Uncle Fu, do you have to saw off such a big willow tree?"
Yun Fu said with a smile: "It has been two hundred years since it was planted by our ancestors of the Yun family. If it lives too long, it will easily become a spirit. After sawing it off, it will be wider in front of the door. If the young master wins the first prize, there will be a place to park the carriage when guests come."
I heard that the willow tree will become a spirit. Yun Zhao stopped asking. This must have been said by Liang Xingyang, a Taoist priest from Jinxian Temple.
The Taoist priest from Guandi Temple has powerful magic power. He was still catching fox demons in Weinan a few days ago and had no time to worry about the Yun family. Therefore, the Taoist priest from Jinxianguan came over overnight after hearing the news. .
Actually, Yun Zhao really wanted to see what the fox demon looked like. After all, in the era he lived in, vixens and the like had long since disappeared.
Yunjiazhuangzi is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and its feng shui is very good. However, in the past few years, the spring in front of the door has gradually dried up, and the family has gradually declined.
Even so, Yunjiazhuangzi still built a stone wall at the entrance of the valley. Mother is planning to build a high wall for the Yun family that can block outsiders. This work started two years ago. Now that the earth's energy has risen, construction has begun again.
Behind Yunjia Zhuangzi is a cliff, leaving no escape route in the entire Zhuangzi.
In fact, there is no need to leave a way out. Once Zhuangzi is gone, the Yun clan will have no way to survive. As for leaving their hometown? Guanzhong people have never had this concept.
Whether it is said that these people lack the courage to explore, or that they are unable to leave their homeland, the Yun family seems to have made the determination to live and die with their family.
Countless families here have been passed down for thousands of years. No matter who becomes the emperor, they are the ones who will never change here.
In prosperous times and troubled times, we have seen so much that we no longer care. In prosperous times, they have the determination to develop and grow, but in troubled times, they also have the means to survive in an ignoble way.
