Chapter 72: Theory of Relativity
Qian Qianyi put his hands in his sleeves and stared at the flying snow in the sky and was silent for a long time.
Xu Yuanshou was holding a teapot and adding water to the teacup.
The steaming water column rushed into the tea bowl, and immediately, there was a white water vapor curling up, which quickly disappeared.
Xu Yuanshou never drank the water for the first time, just to warm the tea bowl. After pouring out the boiling water, he put some tea leaves in the tea bowl, first poured a little bit of hot water, and after a while , added water to the tea bowl twice more, and then filled the tea bowl.
Cover the lid, then open it again after a while, lift the lid of the tea bowl to your nose, sniff it, and say to Qian Qianyi with satisfaction: "Mr. Yushan, why don't you come over and taste this rare treat?" Good tea?"
Qian Qianyi walked in from outside the pavilion without shaking off the snow on his body. He picked up the lid of the tea bowl and smelled it: "The fragrance of orchids is rare."
p>Xu Yuanshou said: "I don't know how tea farmers make it. In short, I like it very much. This tea farmer has become a wealthy family in Lantian just by relying on this craft."
< p>Qian Qianyi said: "Does Yun Zhao know?"Xu Yuanshou frowned and said: "Why does he want to know?"
Qian Qianyi said calmly: "Yushan Doesn't the city belong to his family?"
Xu Yuanshou said: "Yushan City is an imperial city. It was the people of Lantian who allowed the Yun family to live in Yushan City forever and manage it, but they never said that. , every plant and tree in Yushan City belongs to his Yun family."
Qian Qianyi said: "As long as the saint does not die, thieves will not stop."
Xu Yuanshou said: "I have full faith. Books are worse than no books. At that time, Zhuangzi believed that the so-called filial piety, brotherhood, benevolence, righteousness, loyalty, trustworthiness, chastity, honesty, etc. were all things that human beings had destroyed and flaunted. There is no need for a great thief.
But look at this world, if there is no manpower to turn the tide, I don’t know how many grass-headed kings will be born, and the people don’t know how long they will suffer.
So, Mr. Yushan’s words are wrong.”
Qian Qianyi continued: “The emperor has made mistakes. Those who are ambitious should point out the king’s faults, correct them if they are not, and encourage them if they are not. If the emperor's head is chopped off with a sword and spear, then the etiquette and laws in the world are not the same, and everyone has the intention to chop off the emperor's head, then how can the world be safe?"
Xu Yuanshou picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of tea. Looking at Qian Qianyi's somewhat angry face, he said: "Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty did not have much fault except being suspicious and short-witted.
The ones who were at fault were the scholar-bureaucrats."
Qian Qianyi sneered and said: "What's the explanation?"
Xu Yuanshou pointed at Qian Qianyi and said: "The Donglin party struggle is the root cause of the disaster for the country and the people. The greed of officials is the reason for the collapse of the Ming Dynasty. The reason why the scholars are shameless is the reason why the Emperor of Ming Dynasty is in trouble."
Qian Qianyi sneered and said: "For many years, I, a talented man from Donglin, have worked hard for this country.There are countless people who have been beheaded, demoted, and exiled. Why does Mr. Xu belittle me, the Donglin people, so much? ”
Xu Yuanshou sighed and said: “You are a member of the Donglin Party who regulates politics according to local conditions, you are a member of the Donglin Party who attacks dissent, and you are a member of the Donglin Party who opposes for the sake of opposition. The one who kidnapped the emperor from Southeast Fortune was a member of the Donglin Party. Even the one who negotiated secretly with the emperor and the slaves was also a member of the Donglin Party.
Nowadays, it is still you Donglin Party members who are ready to abandon the emperor and sell yourself for a good price.
Mr. Yushan, this is a time of earth-shaking. If you still think that you can stay rich forever as long as you have the head and the rat at both ends, then I assure you, you must be wrong.
Yun Zhao is an unparalleled hero. His ambition is so great and broad that it far exceeds my imagination. He will never let the cancer continue to exist just for the sake of temporary convenience.
You have also seen that he does not care about smashing the old world to pieces, he only cares about how to build a new Ming Dynasty.
The Ming Dynasty is on the verge of death, and the leaves have almost fallen off. The few leaves on the tree are mostly yellow leaves, so why throw them away?
Qian Qianyi looked at Xu Yuanshou indifferently and turned a deaf ear to his criticism. He put down his tea cup and said: "Zhang Bingzhong entered Jiangxi and his corpses were everywhere. Most of them were scholars. Fortunately, he escaped into the mountains alive and looked like a savage." , the Chinese people in the past are now in ruins and are trampled upon by others. Has Yun Zhao ever asked himself, has he ever felt guilty? "
Xu Yuanshou smiled and shook his head: "Isn't it the bounden duty of the Chinese to kill thieves? How did I hear that Zhang Bingzhong now has no less than two thousand scholars under his command, and these two thousand people are preparing for Zhang Bingzhong's enthronement ceremony in Nanchang.
Qian Qianyi sneered and said: "In the dilemma of life and death, there are some people who sacrifice their lives for righteousness. Yun Zhao sent his troops to drive the thieves into Jiangxi. This kind of tiger and wolf heart is worthy of being an unparalleled hero's deeds."
The murderer was Zhang Bingzhong, and the one who poisoned Jiangxi was also Zhang Bingzhong. When the land of Jiangxi was completely white, Yun Zhao would send troops to continue driving Zhang Bingzhong away to poison other places, right?
Someone knows that the southeastern land will be next, right? "
Xu Yuanshou tapped his fingers lightly on the table and said: "Mr. Yu Shan must have seen the play "The White-Haired Girl", right? "
Qian Qianyi said: "A group of actors are just working as a slut for the tiger. "
Xu Yuanshou said: "It's all true. Lantian officials went to Hanzhong and heard that there were white-haired savages hiding in the mountains in Hanzhong. After sending people to capture the white-haired savages, they learned that they were all ordinary people of the Ming Dynasty.
Some do it to evade taxes, some to evade debts, and some do it to survive. They would rather dance with wild beasts and poisonous insects in the deep mountains and forests, and live next to the mountain miasma than leave the mountains and enter the human world.
"Book of Rites·Tan Gong Xia" says that tyranny is fiercer than a tiger, Liu Zongyuan said that tyranny is fiercer than a poisonous snake, I say, tyranny is fiercer than evil ghosts! ! ! It can turn people into ghosts! ! ! .
Mr. Yushan, when you are enjoying fine clothes and fine food in the southeast, and sitting on your lovely wife and concubine, may youHave you ever thought about those hungry people waiting for food?
Not only did you ignore them, you also took away the last fig leaf and the last bite of food from them... Now, it's just retribution.
Don’t complain!
You should be glad that Yun Zhao did not take action personally. If Yun Zhao did, your end would be even worse.
In order to gain a reputation of not killing people, and to break the bad habit of killing people to rob the country, he chose this smart method. Xu Yuanshou was lucky to have such a disciple throughout his life. "
Qian Qianyi put down his tea bowl and said: "It seems that I should go back to the southeast and call on those scholars to rise up and protect their homes and courtyards. "
Xu Yuanshou imitated Qian Qianyi and sneered: "Stop resisting. The artillery in Lantian's army is dedicated to disciplining all kinds of dissatisfaction.
Jiannu refused to accept, so he bombarded him. Li Hongji refused to accept, so he bombarded him. Zhang Bingzhong refused to accept, so he bombarded him. Under the artillery, not a blade of grass grew, and no man or animal was left. Yun Zhao said; the truth is only within the range of the cannon. !
Mr. Yushan must be careful. "
Qian Qianyi's face turned extremely pale, and he pondered for a moment and said: "There is a strong city made of the flesh and blood of warriors in the southeast. "
Xu Yuanshou picked up a piece of heart-warmingly sweet biscuit from the snack plate and put it into his mouth and said with a smile: "It can't stand up to a few shots." "
Qian Qianyi roared: "Do you have no other means except cannons? "
Xu Yuanshou smiled and said: "Of course there is. For the people who have nothing, Yunzhao will allocate them land, allocate cattle, allocate seeds, allocate farm tools, help them build houses, and build schools for them. , medical clinic, assign Mr. Doctor.
We will level their land, build water conservancy facilities for them, build roads for them, and help them catch all the poisonous insects and beasts that harm their lives.
These methods have shown very good results in Guanzhong, Ningxia, Longzhong, Hanzhong, Xiangyang, Luoyang, Kaifeng, Changsha, Yueyang, and Shuzhong.
As for you, Lao Tzu said: The way of heaven is to make up for the deficiency but to make up for the damage. The way of man is not the same, to make up for the deficiency but to make up for the deficiency.
Mr. Yushan, you should know that this is unfair. You have taken too many things, and the people have too few things. Therefore, Yunzhao is ready to be a god and perform the way of heaven in this world. , that is - if there is excess damage, but make up for the deficiency, only in this way can the world be stabilized and peace restored! "
Qian Qianyi held the teacup in his hands again with trembling hands. Perhaps because of the coldness in his heart, his hands were as cold as ice.
"By doing this, Yun Zhao If he succeeds for a moment, he will be infamy for thousands of years. ”
Xu Yuanshou picked up the boiling iron kettle again, filled Qian Qianyi’s tea bowl with boiling water, placed the kettle on the small red clay stove, and threw two pine cones into the small stove. He lowered his head and smiled and said: "If I were to write the history books, Yun Zhao would definitely not be infamy for eternity, he would only shine for the ages and become remembered by future generations - an emperor for eternity! "
There was no echo from the other side. When Xu Yuanshou looked up, he realized that Qian Qianyi's back had disappeared into the snow.
Putting another biscuit into his mouth, Xu Yuanshou closed his eyes and slowly tasted the sweet taste of the biscuit. He said to himself: "Since the new learning has flourished, how can we have a foothold like these rotten scholars? Land!
Learn a new plan for the ages, even if Yun Zhao doesn’t kill you, I will bury you all.”
After saying this, Qian Qianyi left. The tea bowl he had just used was thrown into the abyss.
The heavy snow continues to fall, and there are still many craftsmen busy in the great hall that Yun Zhao needs. In ten days, this magnificent palace will be completely completed.
Boss He drove the last big nail into the threshold. In this way, in addition to being fixed with tenons and tenons, the base also had an additional layer of insurance.
Feeling hot all over, Boss He opened the lapel of his cotton-padded jacket, dropped the hammer and shouted to his apprentices: "Check it one last time, all the edges and corners must be polished and rounded, and all the bulges must be polished." Smooth it out.
Wax it if you need to. If I accidentally get scratched or poked while sitting here in a meeting, watch your skin carefully."
The disciples laughed. After agreeing to the master's request, he took various tools and began to inspect the hall from the door.
Seeing that these young men were very energetic, Boss He picked up a small clay pot and drank heavily from mouth to mouth. He didn't stop until he couldn't drink anymore.
Looking at the gray sky, he said: "I, Boss He, also have the glory today!"
