Liu Yan suddenly fell silent.

This is a question he never thought about.

Or maybe I didn't have the slightest idea about it at all.

He was born in a family of Xiangyu since he was a child and became famous very early.

He enjoyed the convenience and honor brought by Xiangyu Master early, and he took it for granted that he respected outsiders.

I have always thought that as long as I find good jade materials in the stones, I will not let the pearl be dusty, and I will be a good jade master.

Yang Hao waited quietly and nervously for Liu Yiyan's reply.

Long.

After thinking about it for a while, Liu Yiyan said: "Maybe it's because Xiangyu Master can bring them vital benefits, so he has a high status and is respected!"

"Master...... Anything else?"

Yang Hao was a little disappointed with Liu Yiyan's answer.

"Isn't that enough?"

Liu Yiyan was a little dissatisfied with Yang Hao's attitude.

Yang Hao shook his head.

Liu Yan was a little angry and said, "Then what do you think?"

Yang Hao felt very disappointed, and asked directly: "Master, do you think that Xiangyu Master exists because he can see the quality of the jadeite contained in the rough stone?"

"Isn't it?"

Liu Yan suppressed the anger in his heart and asked rhetorically.

He wanted to hear what his apprentice had to say.

"Have you ever thought about it, master, this is the previous situation, the efficiency of jade mining and processing was extremely low in the past, so it seems that the jade master is precious, because the jade master can effectively select the rough stone containing jadeite, which can save a lot of manpower, material resources and time!"

Yang Hao continued to retort: " But have you ever thought that now is the era of science and technology, you can use heavy machines to excavate, and every piece of rough stone dug out can be quickly opened window, peeled, cracked and cut, and the quality of the jade inside can be seen clearly, even if the discarded jade material on the mine is pulled out and poured out, a lot of people are scrambling to pick it up and grind it out to try their luck, and now the time of Xiangyu Master Xiangyu is enough for a person who does not understand to directly solve the jadeite rough into pieces with the help of tools, and even grind it into powder？”

Liu looked at Yang Hao with a shocked expression, he couldn't imagine that Yang Hao could say such a high theory!

I suddenly found that I couldn't understand this apprentice at all.

What he said is indeed an indisputable fact!

The purpose of Xiangyu is to know whether there is jadeite in the rough stone and what the quality of the jadeite is contained, but in the end, it is necessary to unravel the jadeite rough.

In the past, science and technology were backward, and it often took a few days to unravel a rough stone, or even a few months to unravel a large piece, so only high-quality rough stones could be selected to be unraveled first, but now that science and technology have advanced, a stone dissolving machine can unravel a rough stone in a few minutes.

Now the output of jadeite rough has increased, in addition to the use of mechanical excavators, the most important thing is that the efficiency of the calcification link and processing link has been improved because of the progress of science and technology.

As long as it is found in a mine where jadeite is found, even ordinary stones have been examined back and forth countless times, and finally disassembled to confirm it, so it can be said that the rough stones containing jadeite in the mining area are nowhere to be hidden.

I have also seen countless times on the scrap heap of the mine, where many poor people in the vicinity gather, hoping to pick up a good piece of jadeite from the dumped waste ballast, so as to get rid of poverty.

Often, before the ballast is dumped from the trucks, these pickers rush forward desperately, often burying them.

Liu Yanyan was already angry at this time, and even his previous concepts were shaken, but he still asked strongly: "Isn't it because this Jade Master's high status and respect is because he can bring benefits to others?"

"Yes and no!"

Yang Hao shook his head and said, "My grandfather told me that the reason why Xiangyu Master can have a high status and be respected is not only because every Xiangyu Master is a rich man and has strong financial resources, but more importantly, he can benefit the party, but unfortunately it is completely the opposite now!"

I see.

No wonder his apprentice was able to say this, it turned out that his grandfather had taught him.

Liu Yiyan understood in his heart, his tone softened a lot, and asked, "What did your grandfather say at that time?"

"My grandfather said at the time that although the status of rich and powerful people since ancient times will be relatively high, but they will not be as powerful as now, and it is not easy to be respected, don't look at the people who usually look for him Xiangyu Master respectfully, in fact, those people are nothing more than profit, not out of sincere respect, maybe they will say something behind their backs, once they look away, the first person to come out and sing the decline is them!"

Yang Hao recalled, his eyes were red and he said: "The current times have changed, and it is no longer like before, the reason why the previous Xiangyu Master can make people respect from the bottom of their hearts and do not hesitate to protect it with their lives is because Xiangyu Master has fed the people with his own ability, not for personal gain like now!"

Liu Yan was surprised and said, "Is that what your grandfather really said?"

"Yes!"

Yang Hao nodded and said: "My grandfather also said that the current Xiangyu Master can still have this status, which is completely the influence left by the previous Xiangyu Master, which has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and is regarded by ordinary people as a figure in faith, and it is also the hope of survival. ”

Liu Yiyan's heart was shocked inexplicably, and the monstrous waves were turned up.

Yang Hao's words had a great impact on him!

I didn't expect Yang Hao's grandfather to see the problem so thoroughly back then.

Liu Yi thought of Yang Hao's grandfather, looked at Yang Hao with some sadness, shook his head and sighed: "Your grandfather is a great person, and he has indeed done what you just said...... It's just a pity!"

Yang Hao's grandfather knew that some Xiangyu masters had deviated from their original intentions, and they also taught Xiangyu experience without hesitation, this kind of teaching and classless practice is not something that everyone can do!

You must know that the disciples of the church are still at risk of starving to death of their masters, not to mention that some of the Xiangyu masters taught at that time were still enemy forces.

Which Xiangyu family doesn't keep Xiangyu's experience tight-lipped and never pass it on, even if it is passed on to men and women, they are worried about leaking it out.

This mind made all the Xiangyu masters at that time respect Yang Hao's grandfather!

It is precisely because of Yang Hao's grandfather's selfless teaching that a large number of top Xiangyu masters have emerged in the Xiangyu world.

And Liu Yiyan himself is one of the beneficiaries.

Liu Yan suddenly remembered something, and asked Yang Hao, "Wouldn't this be the reason why you have always wanted to become a Xiangyu Master?"

"Yes!"

Yang Hao said with a firm gaze: "My grandfather told me that if you are poor, you will be good to yourself, and if you are good, you will be good to the world, and he asked me to be an excellent jade master when I grow up and protect ordinary people." ”

"You can!"

Liu glanced at this resolute young man, and his face couldn't help but be moved.

I didn't expect Yang Hao's ambitions to be so ambitious!

He can be said to have a very detailed understanding of Yang Hao's past.

In addition to looking at Yang Hao's grandfather, it was Yang Hao's resilience that moved him, and he did not hesitate to risk his life to come and take him as an apprentice.

There is no shortcut to Xiangyu, it is talent, hard work and persistence are indispensable, and at the same time, it is required to endure boredom and endure hardship.

Many people are very talented, but they can't sink down to study and can't persevere, and often end up only knowing a little scratch.

Liu Yiyan asked with a solemn face: "Even if I stay...... Does it make sense? This war is inevitable, it's just a matter of time. ”

Yang Hao saw that the master already had some inclination to agree to stay, and said happily: "Master, if you stay, Wu Bang still has a chance to win, and it is also a chance for the ordinary people of the six forces to survive, if you choose to leave now, it will be a big disaster!"

"Ordinary people's chances of survival, or catastrophe?"

At this time, Liu was puzzled.

It is often the ordinary people at the bottom who suffer the most in the war, and this is still a social form in which the population represents the productive forces, so even if the losing side is the side in the war, the people will not be slaughtered.

Why did Yang Hao say it was a catastrophe?

Yang Hao asked, "Master, what do you think of Wu Bang?"

"Wu Bang is not bad...... Especially when it comes to the population, it was originally established to protect the general public. ”

Liu was even more confused at first glance.

What does this Wu Bang have to do with the ordinary people of other forces?

Yang Hao continued to ask: "Master, how do you think the other surrounding forces treat the people?"

"I've heard that those forces often oppress the people underneath......"

Liu glanced at the middle of speaking, and suddenly realized.

Oh, yes!

How did I forget this stubble!

It seems that the IQ of his apprentice is not as low as it seems.

Fortunately, Yang Hao didn't know what Liu Yiyan was thinking, otherwise he would have to vomit blood in depression!

Yang Hao said slowly: "Wu Bang has always treated the people well, even if it is from the enemy forces, they will be treated equally, but those forces are not easy to say, the most important thing is that if Wu Bang fails, those forces will definitely have a fight, and it is very likely that the war will turn into a displacement of people and misery, only if Wu Bang wins, it is the best result!"

Liu Yiyan nodded again and again.

At present, Wu Bang is the largest of the six forces, and the comprehensive strength of the other five is about the same.

The five families united to prevent Wu Bang from obtaining new mining rights, and after the collapse of Wu Bang, it was natural to distribute Wu Bang's population and territory.

Let's not talk about whether the power that acquired the new mining rights will be willing to share the mining rights with others.

The remaining four forces that have not obtained new mining rights alone will also find ways to seek new mining areas.

After all, the Southern Federation only recognizes the acquirers of new mining areas, but does not protect them, and other forces can also privately attack and occupy the forces that own new mining rights.

Therefore, after obtaining the mining rights, it is still up to you whether you can keep it or not.

These five forces are all about the same, so no one is subordinate to the other, and a vicious circle will be formed during this period, and the war will continue until the last side wins.

Ordinary people are already in a precarious situation, and this prolonged war will only leave them without a stable income, displaced, and in dire straits.

Only Wu Bang won, allowing the other few companies to collapse collectively without new mining rights, and then Wu Bang gathered their people at one time, which is undoubtedly the best outcome to reduce the casualties of ordinary people.

"I didn't think I could see it as well as you!"

Liu Yan sighed: "I haven't thought about this in the past few decades, but it sounds pretty good...... I'll listen to you this time!"

The older this person gets, the more free his heart will be, and he will do whatever he wants.

He is not a saint, but he is not a hard-hearted person, the local ordinary people have been plagued by war for a long time, he sees it, and tries to change in the past, but when the manpower is poor, he can only choose to protect himself.

In the past, I didn't participate in any forces, in addition to worrying about my own safety, I felt that Xiangyu Master should take Xiangyu well, and to discover more good jade is the right way, and participating in the struggle of these forces will undoubtedly be distracting.

Just now I learned about Grandpa Yang Hao's concept, and I understood the true meaning of Xiangyu Master.

Now that he has accepted Yang Hao as an apprentice, what is there to fear about life and death?

has lived carefully for decades, so it's better to be crazy when you're old!
