Death is a very scary thing.
Few people can truly die generously.
People who can do this are basically legends among people.
Whether it is a famous person or an unknown person, if he died generously and was seen by others, he would either be written into the history books, or else he would become a hero passed down by word of mouth.
This is something he earned with his life. Although Yun Zhao respects him very much, he does not envy him at all.
Yun Zhao could only commit such an act of willingly dying out of desperation, for example for his mother, or for his children in the future. As for his wife, it might depend on the situation.
Being a mother is not because I am stupid after studying the "Book of Filial Piety", but to save my life. For the sake of my children, this is purely a choice of survival of the fittest in nature. As for my wife, it is better to grow old together. Don't talk about life and death.
Yun Zhao asked himself that he couldn't do it, and he felt that Zhu Cunji couldn't do it either. Therefore, this guy's words could be understood as a greeting in advance, hoping that once Yun wanted to kill him, he could do it. Consider other options that don't necessarily have to be bloody.
From this point of view, the loyalty of the vassals of the Ming Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty was still insufficient, not even comparable to that of some ordinary people.
Yun Zhao felt sick in his heart when he thought about the vassal kings who had taken refuge with the slaves in the history books, as well as Li Hongji and Zhang Bingzhong.
"It must be fair and aboveboard!"
Feng Ying finished eating the last bite of steamed cake and looked into Yun Zhao's eyes and said seriously.
Yun Zhao threw away the willow branch chopsticks in his hand and said, "Why? I think it's not bad to do whatever it takes to achieve the goal."
"I have read a lot of books recently and found that public opinion is like water. "
Yun Zhao said with a smile: "Public opinion can be guided."
"How to guide it?"
"If you want to be quick, use force. If you want to rewrite the history books for a long time, these methods have been used by all dynasties."
Feng Ying squatted beside Yun Zhao, put his hands on his chin and said sadly: "The knowledge here is. Why is it always different from the knowledge I learned in Shizhu?"
Yun Zhao said with a smile: "It's the same, just with more knowledge. To be honest, most of the knowledge here is practical knowledge. , can teach many people who can use it immediately, but when it comes to strengthening people's will and opening up their minds, these practical knowledge cannot compare with the knowledge you have learned.
However, guessing people's hearts. This kind of thing is generally a matter of metaphysics. If someone is thrown into a den of robbers, he will grow up to be a gentleman.
Some people, even if they are born to a gentleman, will grow up to be a bad guy. He is still a bad guy, so we can only guide those people who are good and not bad, and then use the law to discipline those bad guys."
"So, you think Zhu Cunji is an unscrupulous person. Bad guy? ”
Yun Zhao shook his head and said: "Zhu Cunji's position is not stable to begin with. His brother died in a strange way. In addition, he is a concubine. His father has many concubines and is able to have children. He also has countless younger brothers. God knows that one day he will die in the same unknown manner as his brother.
Under such circumstances, how can you give him the energy to be loyal to the country?
He will die. That's the thing that scares him the most. Therefore, for Zhu Cunji, only by living can he enjoy everything he has now. If he dies, it will really be over."
Yun Zhao finished speaking. , stood up, and Feng Ying also stood up. Only then did Yun Zhao realize that Feng Ying seemed to be taller than him.
Feng Ying also discovered this problem and quickly became shorter. Yun Zhao looked at her skirt and said: "If you are taller than me, you are taller than me. Why are you bending your legs?"
Feng Ying said with a smile: "General Qin once told me that if a woman sometimes wrongs herself, there will be unexpected benefits.
Tell me, what are the benefits of me wronging myself like this? ”
Yun Zhao originally wanted to comment eloquently on Feng Ying’s long legs, but Yang Chunhua came out of the woods with her face covered, took the basket on the ground, and ran away quickly. .
Yunshu slowly came out of the woods and saw that Feng Ying was there too. His old face couldn't help but blush. He giggled and chased Yang Chunhua in the direction where he left.
"Will they be happy in the future?"
Feng Ying looked down at her toes.
Yun Zhaodao: "If you have low demands, it will be easy to satisfy them. If you have high demands, it will be very painful. You have to fight to get good things by yourself."
Feng Ying seemed to have some realizations. Head, and then he said: "It's getting dark, it's time to go back. If you don't go back, Xiao Chu will be angry."
Yun Zhao smiled and returned to the Yun family mansion with Feng Ying.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Xiao Chu, who was obviously getting plumper. Xiao Chu, who was walking towards her, saw Miss Yun Zhao coming in together, so he turned into the stable unnaturally.
After returning to the study, Yun Zhao took a breath. A young man with a pockmarked face placed a pile of documents on Yun Zhao's desk.
"For this part, you have to look at the part outlined in red pen. The rest is nonsense. Sun Chuanting and Li Hongji fought to no avail in Tongguan, and they couldn't keep up with the food and grass, so they started to ask for our support. Some of them can be repaid from the quota allocated to the Qin Army by the court next year.
I think he is farting. It is still unclear whether the Qin Army will be allocated next year. In one sentence, we are required to provide for him. Twenty thousand dan of military rations, I thought, cannot be distributed without a mortgage."
Just when Yun Zhao was about to speak, the damn Mazi put another document in front of Yun Zhao and said, "This is Yun Fu. I also used a red pen to highlight the problematic areas in the military ration documents requested by the commander. Their request was too excessive, and the proportion of meat was increased by 20%.
I think it should be based on the previous quarter. If we cut it by another 10%, we won’t be able to cultivate their generosity.At the same time, people should be sent to check the accounts of Wuguan Pass. Food in the army has always been super-supplied. I don't believe they can eat up a season's food in three months.
This bad habit cannot be encouraged. "
Yun Zhao stared blankly at the pockmarked man whom he had exchanged for forty pounds of millet, speechless.
"Xu Wuxiang, are you doing anything? Have you thought about it five times before? "
Yun Zhao thought for a while, but honestly took his legs off the table.
Xu Wu wanted to twitch his pockmarked face and said: "I have smallpox. This face is ruined and cannot compare to beautiful people like you. If you don’t think things through clearly and deal with them, what use will people like me have to you? "
Yun Zhao quickly said: "I don't care about appearance here! ”
Xu Wuxiang curled his lips and said: “Go ahead and lie to me. Your family is accustomed to judging people by their appearance. Since appearance is not considered in terms of talent, why don’t I, the third best person in the competition at Yushan Academy, see those girls in your family?” come over? "
Yun Zhao said angrily: "How are you talking? Do you have any rules? ”
Xu Wu thought: “You told me that as your secretary, I can’t hide anything from you. You can say whatever you think in your heart.”
What? If you don’t think it sounds good, otherwise I will disguise what I want to say in the future. I have learned the Book of Songs, Songs of Chu, and Han Fu very well, and I will ensure that every sentence I speak in the future will sound as good as poetry. I don't know if it's useful or not. "
"Your teacher is Zhang Xianliang, right? "
Xu Wuxiang said angrily: "Please use the honorific title, Master Zhang is also your husband. "
"But you are being very unreasonable when you talk to me. "
" Just tell me if I am of any use!
Yun Zhao nodded heavily and said: "It's useful. It can arrange all my documents here in an orderly manner, and it can answer all the questions I want to ask. I can still think of some things in front of me." The work has never let me down.
Of course it works! ”
There was finally a smile on Xu Wuxiang’s face, and he cupped his hands towards Yunzhao and said: “Young Master, this is the only use I have. If I can’t maximize my usefulness, let me maximize my use. It's useful to the young master, but I'm sorry that the young master bought me the forty pounds of millet.
Yun Zhao stood up and held Xu Wuxiang's hand and said, "Don't mention those forty pounds of millet in the future. Every time you mention it, it seems like nothing happened. I am the only one who feels uncomfortable." "
Xu Wuxiang chuckled, and his face twitched, making him look even uglier.
"Master, let's continue to review and approve official documents. Look, Pucheng is There is a problem with the place. The soil here is loose and it is difficult to repair canals. The Longshou Canal that passed through Shangyan Mountain back then was not an open canal but a culvert. If we can find the culvert and repair it, we can divert it from Chengcheng County. Luoshui irrigates the fields in Pucheng and Dali.
I have read countless ancient books and haveI have a certain understanding of the Longshou Canal back then. When this canal was built during the Han Dynasty, the well canal method was used!
If the young master does not have a suitable candidate at hand, ask me to go to Pucheng and give me one year. I will definitely recreate the Qili Well Canal recorded in the history books!
Let me arrive at the Lantian County boundary monument in Pucheng and Dali County. ”
