The world is wonderful, and only paranoid people can become artists, scientists, philosophers...... If you enter the wrong line, even if you are lucky enough to stand at the highest point, you will mislead others and yourself. As far away as Song Huizong's exquisite calligraphy and painting, but he governed the country to a complete mess and became the king of the country, and as close as Hitler, if the Vienna Academy of Arts had not refused his admission, perhaps he would not have led the entire German nation to hell.

went upstairs and entered the study, Li Jiaming couldn't help but laugh secretly after listening to the fourth brother's question, and said euphemistically: "Fourth brother, you have read too many books, and it is better to believe in books than to have no books." Since ancient times, if Li Longji gave Li Bai a high-ranking official, he could still write 'Enron bent his waist to the powerful'?

I still say the same thing, to be a man, you must have ambition and backbone, but you can be more round and round in life. How to say it, it should be a person who is round on the outside and square on the inside, and has his own principles on the inside, but he must know how to be flexible in doing things. ”

This is a wise word, Li Jiadao, who is more knowledgeable than his younger brother, has been head after year, but the paranoid Li Jiade shook his head and disagreed. If he was so easily persuaded, and at most a gifted student, how could he be called a genius by his cousin?

In Li Jiade's view, his cousin is a genius, and he will definitely be able to do a great career in politics in the future, so why bother to pull and pull with an oily little official like Stationmaster Xiao? The eagle is naturally in company with the eagle, how can there be an eagle with a house finch or even a mouse on his back?

Pride, this is the pride in the bones of the paranoid person, don't look at this guy who is usually gentle and elegant, in fact, there are not many people who make him look at it, and most of them are relatives and teachers. Li Jiaming is speechless about his cousin's pride, and his talent is too good, so that the guy is used to looking down.

That's right, if he was as philistine as himself and cared about gains and losses, he would not have gone that far on the academic road. It's just that there is a third brother next to him who is not as talented as him, Li Jiaming has to pay attention to proportion, and the road of immortals is not accessible to anyone.

"Fourth brother, one person and one road, one grass and one drop of dew, everyone has a way to go. I have no interest in academics, I just want to make money in business, and the most important thing for a businessman is to understand the society and the needs of customers.

The concept of customers is very broad, covering all levels of society, and if I don't deal with them, am I still stuffed in my study?"

"What? You don't want to go into politics and business?"

The two brothers looked at their little cousin in shock, they had always thought that this kid was ambitious, but they didn't expect that they would only think about making money. Li Jiaming was so stunned when he saw the two cousins, and he also knew what they were thinking in their hearts, these were two scholars who were bored in the study, and in their eyes, there may be only two roads in the world that are the Cotai Avenue - academic and official careers. In their opinion, it is unthinkable that they can read and be proficient, and they are excellent if they don't learn.

Engaging in politics? What are you kidding, being an official is not the number one, it is like making a dojo in a snail shell, and if you do it, you will die of grievance. Besides, people who wallow in officialdom are just minions unless you can sit on the top chair.

"Why should I go into politics? If you say you can do it, you can do it, if you can't do it, why put your fate in the hands of the superiors?

Fourth brother, the economic foundation determines the superstructure, rather than spending a lot of time and energy on intrigue, it is better to devote yourself to industry. I think we don't need idealists like Taizu, but thousands of doers. Wealth comes from farmland and factories, not from the mountains and seas, let alone the rostrum!"

One of the advantages of talking to a really smart person is that as long as it makes sense, he won't carry it up with you. Li Jiaming's hypocritical words are easily equated with serving the country through industry, so it is easy to gain the approval of the two nerdy brothers.

"Oh, I'm worrying about it. Industry serves the country well, and material demand is the first demand. ”

Hehe, it doesn't matter, if you think it is good to serve the country by industry, then serve the country by industry. Li Jiaming was secretly happy in his heart, he was really not as noble as the two cousins imagined, he thought he was a businessman, chasing interests rather than feelings. Maybe after he becomes famous, he will ponder the feelings of his family and country corresponding to his ability, but it is really difficult for him to devote himself to the business sea for an illusory feeling.

…………

After lunch, they sent off the uncle who was in a hurry to go back to the county to find a way, and Li Jiaming's life returned to peace, reading for those who should be studying, and doing farm work for those who should be doing farm work. The uncle's hands and feet were also very fast, and just a day after returning to the county, he called back to the village, and You Xueli, who received the call, hurriedly sent a notice to inform Li Jiaming.

Huh? So fast?

It seems that Vice Minister Xu is not a good thing, and the officialdom of these years is really exactly what the uncle said, just those four words -- 'no official and no greed'! Of course, this is also the same as a few decades later, and maybe it will be the same in a few decades.

After the hot and sweaty Sue Ling finished drinking the water, Li Jiaming smiled and said: "Sue Ye, go back and help me call back, just say that I know, so that my uncle is not worried." ”

"Oh", he agreed, and rode away on his broken bicycle, it was the busy farming season, if he hadn't had something to do, he would have gone to the field to help the adults do things.

In the evening, after dinner, Li Jiaming's brother and sister rode a scooter to Grandma's house leisurely, and there was a full sister who liked to play in the back seat. With the slippery nature of Stationmaster Xiao, he will definitely let his maternal uncle intercede, and the reason why his maternal uncle does not come to him is because he is afraid of making it difficult for himself. Now that the matter is settled, of course, I have to take the initiative to find my maternal uncle, so as to save him from being embarrassed.

In addition to preparing to buy land in the countryside to build a new brick house, my mother's uncle is now able to make money, and his home has also taken on a new look, not only with a color TV, refrigerator, and motorcycle, but also with screens on the doors and windows, not only without the previous mosquitoes and flies, but also cooler in the hot summer. However, it is precisely because of the family's better family situation that my maternal uncle also prefers to play cards, but fortunately, he does not gamble, and only plays the 'three eat one' (similar to a tractor with a deck of cards) that wins and loses for a few dollars.

After sitting in the grandmother's room for a while, eating watermelon with my grandfather and grandmother for a while, and chatting for a while, Li Jiaming and their uncle and nephew went to the next room to talk.

"Ming Yan, stationmaster Xiao's matter, you can help if you can, don't be reluctant if you can't help. Teacher Liu is not so easy to talk to, you know?"

"Hmm"

"Don't worry about your uncle's business. I heard some rumors, and I inquired carefully about it, and the grain bureau is about to be restructured, and if it is done well, the grain and oil market will be fully liberalized. When the time comes, I don't need the help of Stationmaster Xiao to be able to do the grain and oil business. ”

"Know".

Having said that, Li Jiaming still decided to help Stationmaster Xiao, not because the icing on the cake was not as good as charcoal in the snow, but because he wanted to establish his own network.

What is the strongest relationship, interests!

If you can bring benefits to Stationmaster Xiao and Vice Minister Xu, you can make this network bigger and bigger.

Tonggu is too young, he is too young, and the times are developing too fast, if you want to take fewer detours in the future, you have to complete the primitive accumulation before you become an adult, and taking the road of combining government and business is the fastest way to get money!
