Looking at Li Yiming's big eyes, He Wu subconsciously laughed dryly.

I thought that Mr. Xiao Li gave people a lot of pressure, especially when the carriage was sealed and recorded, saying that it was a teaching material, and I didn't know that I thought it was a confession, so I had to find a chance to defend myself!

He Wu continued to sit up straight and leaned towards the tape recorder, and said sincerely: "What Mr. Xiao Li said is actually quite common, in fact, it is not only our Chinese habits, but also others.

Li Yiming nodded with a smile: "You're in the state, that's right, you have to jump out and look at this problem." If we want to do social management, we have to carefully analyze the causes of the phenomenon, its pros and cons, and then make decisions. ”

"Decision" He Wu's eyebrows jumped, and he was a little excited.

"There are only three kinds," Li Yiming flicked his fingers, "encourage, oppose or ignore." ”

He Wu nodded: "Yes, that's right!"

Li Yiming looked at him: "Gift-giving is an ancient custom, which may have existed since primitive society. ”

"Hmm, so old?"

Li Yiming nodded: "At that time, it was estimated that it was to send some game food or gadgets, and some high-end decorations may be used as a friendship between tribes, or to please a wife." ”

"Oh, actually, it's the same now. He Wu echoed with a smile, glanced at Li Jianguo on the side, and found that this person listened extremely attentively and didn't interject at all, this may not be his father.

"Do you know how to do it at that time?" Li Yiming asked suddenly.

Ho Wu: "How did you do it?"

Li Yiming: "I hit a wild boar today, and found that I didn't have a wife, so I discussed it with the elders, and said that there is a girl on the mountain next door that I like very much, can I exchange this wild boar skin as a bride price to be my wife Elder can see it, it is a big deal to ask for a wife, this wild boar skin is for you, and tomorrow I will personally take someone to the next mountain to ask for marriage!"

"Bride price" He Wu wanted to laugh a little, because as soon as Li Yiming said this, the appearance of a primitive person carrying a wild boar skin to beg for a wife appeared in his mind, a good image, but how do I think I mean something when you say this mountain?

Li Yiming smiled: "Over the years, gifts have also changed and upgraded, which is related to productivity and social materials. But the format hasn't changed, it's just that I send you and you send me something, right?"

He Wu nodded, suddenly realized that this was recording, and hurriedly said: "Yes!"

"The former one you just mentioned, many people are not to blame, this is for the giver, to relieve his worries and concerns, but for the recipient, it may be called taking people's soft hands and eating people's mouths, right? If it is put between large and small forces, it may be another way of saying it, such as a tribute. ”

"Hehe, yes" He Wu picked up the lighter and pinched it in his hand, feeling slippery.

"Etiquette is still exchanged, this is an idiom, but this ceremony, doesn't it mean a gift, right?" Li Yiming asked with a smile.

"Well, yes, this should refer to etiquette, of course, if you send something, I have to return it. ”

"So is it that if you ask someone to do something, you will want to bring something to the door?" Li Yiming looked at He Wu, "If you don't mention something, you don't feel like you don't pay attention to this matter, or you don't respect the other party?"

He Wu breathed a sigh of relief: "Of course there are also that"

"Then will there be, this kind of thing is not good, but because you gave a gift, they will do it for you?"

He Wu nodded: "This phenomenon must exist, in the business field"

"That's right, so this is calculated into the transaction cost, and it's better to do a business, with a higher cost and less profit, than not to do it, right?"

He Wu: "Hehe, that's what it means"

"If it's a simple human relationship, then you have to return the favor, right?"

"Hmm," He Wu exhaled.

"Then what's the matter?" Li Yiming gestured to the box over there, "What do you send these fruits, snacks, tobacco and alcohol, what do you send to the other end of the house? Famous tea, national wine, or something else? Where did those things come from? He bought them? What others gave them? Did the leader become a supply and marketing cooperative? Gift distribution center?"

He Wu wiped his forehead, he was already sweating, fortunately it was not a video, he wanted to say that I am not an exchange, but Li Yiming has already made it clear in advance that this is a discussion problem, starting from the primitive society.

"So there may be all kinds of undesirable phenomena here, because there is an exchange in it. ”

Li Yiming thought for a while and looked at He Wu with a smile, "After all, not everyone can afford to return the gift, the salary is so little, there is a little power in the hand, and there are national resources or something, just like a bank, you can also not return it first, save it, and pay it back with interest."

You just talked about the material bank, in fact, there has been this invisible bank in life for a long time, in exchange for not only money, but also power, goods, all kinds of resources, sometimes formed a kind of unspoken rule, do not need to say what you want to give me.

As soon as the thing is put down, the eyes are confirmed, and it's okay, and I'll look for you if I have something in the future, right?"

He Wu's back was wet, so he could only sigh, Li Yiming was right, but the problem was that he was really not good at expressing his position!

"So it's actually quite risky to receive gifts, because it's possible that you won't be able to do it yet, right?"

"There is a saying about this, I can't stand it," He Wu continued.

Li Yiming nodded: "That's right, this gift may not be bearable, so such a risky behavior, why do you say people are happy when they receive the gift?"

"This"

Li Yiming didn't plan to wait for him to answer: "Some of them are because they happen to lack things, and they are dizzy, and they can't afford it." It's like saying that the poet saint Du Fu was so hungry that year, and then people invited him to eat and gave him rice and meat, he ate too much when he was happy, and a poet saint was supported to death, which is a pity!"

He Wu opened his mouth in astonishment: "This"

"That's not a good example, is it?"

"No, no, I'm weird. Is he really going to die?" He Wu asked curiously, he really didn't know about it.

"Li Bai drowned in the moon, and Du Fu died of too much food! Don't you know?"

He Wu hissed: "Li Bai, I know, how could Du Fu do this?"

"Isn't it strange?" Li Yiming pursed his lips and frowned, "I've been hungry for so long, and my stomach is already bad, so I should cook a little porridge and drink it slowly, and slowly recuperate, as long as people are alive, I'm afraid that no one will send food to the door, what's the hurry?"

So it's a pity that although he can write poetry, he doesn't know how to maintain health!

"It's really a pity" He Wu shook his head, speechless, inexplicably remembering that he saw the refiner on the eighth floor before, it turned out that it was the way of health preservation.

Li Yiming also sighed: "He was only fifty-nine years old, but he died young."

Looking at Li Yiming's appearance, He Wu smiled: "Fifty-nine years old is not young, life is seventy years old, Li Sheng!"

Li Yiming looked at him: "Don't you know that the normal life expectancy of people is actually between 125 and 175 years old?"

"Huh?"

"I'll popularize science, the lifespan of this mammal is six to seven times that of the last tooth, and the last tooth of a human is about twenty-five years old, so the basic limit life span is really so long. Don't be surprised, you still have to live!" Li Yiming said solemnly into the tape recorder.

"Really?"

"Of course it's true, it's statistical. Li Yiming looked at He Wu.

He Wu was inspired and said with a smile: "So seventy years are rare, do you mean that people should drink thin when they are old?"

Li Yiming also smiled: "Haha, although I didn't mean that, but this truth is right, let alone seventy years old, how old it is to be thin and easy to digest." ”

"That's right, according to this statement, fifty-nine is indeed a little" He Wu nodded.

Li Yiming smiled: "In short, someone gives a gift to show that you are valuable, and people need to realize their self-worth, of course, the person who receives the gift may not necessarily know where his value is, is it because of his high personal charm, or because of the power in his hand?"

If it's because of the high charm, then you can take it, anyway, that thing is your own. It's like Du Fu, because he writes poems so talented, but unfortunately he doesn't know how to use this gift, how can he eat it all?

That's why it is said that it has something to do with the person who gave the gift. This person may be kind, but he doesn't know that people are so hungry that their eyes are green and they can't eat like this? It means that the gift giver is not very sincere, and he doesn't really care about the stomach!"

"Hmm"

"You say that he died, but it can also be said that the person who gave the gift hurt him and the person who gave the gift was not responsible for the person who gave the gift in law, but the cause of his death has nothing to do with the person who gave the gift?" Li Yiming asked rhetorically.

He Wu glanced at Li Jianguo, and neither of them knew what kind of expression they had now.

"I think that person should feel guilty when he knows the cause of Du Fu's death, and he probably won't dare to put a big pig's head when he goes to the grave in the future.

He Wuhe laughed dryly, kept looking at the tape recorder, wondering where to put this textbook, and the seven deadly sins, Mr. Xiao Li is terrible to learn from the past and the present!

Li Yiming looked at He Wu: "But if it's because of power, then it's troublesome, I give gifts in exchange for the power in your hands"

"That's actually a bribe, right?" He Wu suddenly spoke.

Li Yiming shook his head: "If the time is a little wrong, you won't be able to identify, it's like if you send something to me, you send it every day, and you don't ask me to do something, and then when you want to do something, you don't send it, and you don't even need to say that I will take care of you, otherwise what kind of person will I become? I want to scold people and feel that my mouth is soft, and I can't lift my hand if I want to hit someone!"

He Wuhe shook his head.

"You know that our country has always been a big country, and it used to be very powerful!" Li Yiming changed his tone.

He Wu was stunned for a moment, and quickly nodded: "Actually, it's quite powerful now!"

Li Yiming didn't respond to him, but just followed his words: "I used to call myself the Heavenly Empire."

"Hmm"

"So those small countries on the border come to fight the autumn breeze every year"

"Huh?"

"It's not good, right? But that's the case, this is all historical facts, not made up by me, these small countries around it, send some envoys every year, bring some local specialties, the traffic conditions at that time, want to understand the customs of foreign countries and get some good crop varieties actually rely on this. Then because of this monsoon, almost all of them set off in spring, and then autumn arrived, and after participating in the event, they took a large bag and a small bag to take advantage of the autumn wind to go south. ”

"Oh, it turned out to be this autumn wind" He Wu suddenly smiled, "Indeed, Mr. Xiao Li is really"

Li Yiming didn't want him to boast, his rhythm was in his heart, and he interrupted: "Then our emperor will be happy when he sees it, and then he will return the gift, it is said that this time the gift is not more than 100 times the value of others, it is considered a loss of face! Do you think this is stupid to make the treasury empty and waste money and the people?"

“”

Of course, we can't fully understand the national conditions at that time, and we can't say that the emperors are idiots. It can only be said that the needs of being an emperor are different, for him, the gifts are all his own local products, and he doesn't think about the value or anything at all, but he can't lose face

And the more generous you are in return, the more people like to come to the door, and the more often these people come, the greater the face of this Celestial Dynasty."

"Hehe" He Wu wanted to laugh a little.

"There's a big waste of resources here, can you think of it?" Li Yiming asked as he stared into He Wu's eyes.

"Yes, it's a little" He Wu nodded slightly, only feeling that his neck was about to stiffen when he heard Li Yiming's words.

"But now the society is different, we are not what we used to be, we have to take care of the needs of the people, how can the good things that come over become our own resources. For example, if you eat a foreign fruit, you will lose it? If you don't have it, someone will give it away? Has anyone thought of planting it themselves, planting more so that everyone can eat it!"

Li Yiming turned his head, but what he looked at was the tape recorder.

He Wu took a breath, he already felt that this textbook might be extremely unusual.

Sure enough, Li Yiming's face became serious: "Everyone wants to be rich in living materials, which is understandable in itself, but this kind of demand cannot be met in this way, at least, not by cadres in the mainland."

I know you have money, you are going to see the elders, but those elders also have juniors, you should not only be for the elderly, those young people follow and rub their minds badly."

"No, right?" He Wu said weakly, almost silently.

Li Yiming glanced at He Wu, ignored him, and then said: "Moreover, the old revolutionary has made contributions to the country, has gone through countless hardships, and has been injured and sick, and he will not live for many years.

"How could it be, no!" He Wuda was shocked and looked at the tape recorder still moving, can he say this so straightly?!Why is this Mr. Li so terrifying?!
