Chapter 310: The Shen family argues fiercely
After entering the hall door, Li Mu'er found that the furnishings in the main hall could only be described by the word "elegant", and the scheming of the host could be seen everywhere on a table and a chair. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
There is a hall behind the main hall, and all kinds of signs indicate that this is the real place of the Shen Mansion, and the gate is just a disguise. It is no wonder that Li Mu'er inquired that there was still surplus grain in the Shen Mansion, and there was a large amount of it. Now, judging from the "trek" along the way, the terrain of the Shen Mansion is built extremely high, and in the event of a flood, it will only flood the fake courtyard underneath, and it will not shake the Shen family at all.
However, if there is surplus food, there will be surplus food, and whether or not you are willing to give it for relief is another matter. Looking at Shen Boyao's appearance, he is quite kind, Li Mu'er can't understand why he is so indifferent to the external disaster and refuses to meddle?
Shen Boyao seemed to know the intentions of the two, but he didn't have the slightest intention of debunking them, so he invited them to drink tea and chat, saying that he admired Li Muer's talent.
He Qingyan has always been indifferent, and he still didn't say a word at this time. Li Mu'er couldn't hold it back, and finally opened her mouth and went straight to the point: "Don't hide it, Mr. Shen, the purpose of our trip is not to ask for tea for ourselves, but to want more people to be able to drink tea." ”
"Tea?" Shen Boyao smiled and asked, "The most important thing to lack recently is water, isn't it easy to drink tea?" ”
In the face of his pretending to be stupid, Li Mu'er didn't have the slightest temper, but just lamented: "Alas, when you can't eat enough, how can you have the leisure to drink tea?" ”
"Childe said so, then you must not have this kind of worry when you drink tea here. If you don't have it yourself, why bother with 'dangling'? I also thought that helping others could be fun, but later I realized that each family sweeps the snow in front of their own door, which is the way to achieve great harmony. ”
What he said was somewhat helpless, and Li Mu'er was stunned when she heard it. Each family sweeps their own doors and adds snow, this truth only applies to the world at the same time, and now the city is full of wind and rain, and if you don't lend a hand, it will make it worse. Li Mu'er tried to influence him, got up and bowed, and said in the most pious tone in his life: "Mr. Shen, "The Book of Rites? It is said in the "Rites and Fortunes": "The old man does not have only his relatives, nor only his son, so that the old have their end, the strong have their usefulness, the young have their growth, and the widows, widows, orphans, solitary people, and the disabled are all supported." People should not only support their parents and raise their children, but also let the elderly in the world enjoy their old age, the young and middle-aged can work for the community, the children can grow up smoothly, and the old widowers, elderly widows, orphans, childless elderly, and disabled people can all be cared for by others, so that they can be regarded as a 'Datong society.'" Of course, what is 'Datong', everyone has a scale in their hearts, and in this trip, I dare not question whether Mr. Shen's scale is fair. I just hope that Mr. Shen can listen to the outside world and see how thick the snow is outside the door......"
"You seem to be very preachy?"
This sentence is familiar to Li Mu'er, and it seems that Mo En once said this. It's a pity that he hates preaching. So Mr. Shen in front of him, does he also hate preaching?
Li Mu'er felt inappropriate, and quickly wanted to explain that he didn't and didn't dare to preach to him, but he also got up and said, "That's it, I'm also the person who likes to preach the most." Let's compare who can convince whom! ”
This is obviously going to be a debate. Li Mu'er is not flustered, in terms of lip service, she should still have a chance to win. Looking at He Qingyan and smiling, she nodded and immediately agreed. Shen Boyao was not hypocritical, and led her to the study.
As soon as he entered the study, Shen Boyao didn't sit on the seat, but sat with Li Mu'er on the opposite side of the chessboard, and said directly: "You said, did the ancients do this kind deed before?" ”
Li Mu'er thought for a while, and immediately replied: "There is Xiao Ziliang, the king of Jingling, in Southern Qi to open a warehouse for disaster relief. The Biography of Emperor Qi Wenhui records that he also founded the 'Six Diseases Museum' together with Xiao Changmao, the crown prince of Wenhui. In the Song Dynasty, Zhu Zi once established a 'Shecang' in Kaiyao Township, Chong'an County, Jianning Prefecture. Fan Zhongyan, who was "worried about the world first", founded the "Yizhuang" ...... in Suzhou"
………………
What the outcome of this debate will be, He Qingyan has never known. She only remembered that she waited from dawn to dark, and from dark to dawn, for a full day and a night, before Shen Boyao and Li Mu'er walked out of the study side by side, each other's eyes were full of humility and satisfaction.
This is probably what the world says: those who are like-minded do not take mountains and seas as far, and there are fewer than a thousand cups of wine for confidants!
"Don't worry, son, I, Shen, have always been true to my word. In a few days, 500 quintals of rice will be sent to the prince's mansion, which should be the glory of the son. ”
Li Mu'er saw that Shen Boyao was so generous, but she didn't immediately agree, but waved her hand again and again: "No, no, Mr. Shen knows that he didn't come here for any false name." It is also very clear that Mr. Shen is unwilling to donate food for disaster relief. It's not as good as this, Mr. Shen thinks that he is holding a righteous warehouse. ”
"Yoshikura?"
"Not bad. Yicang was originally used to store grain and prepare for famine, and alleviate disaster years. I heard that during the Sui Dynasty, the people, with the encouragement of the imperial court, donated the surplus grain of the harvest year to the Yicang free of charge; In the murderous year, Yicang opened a warehouse and allowed the people who suffered from the disaster to borrow food to alleviate the disaster; If there is a good harvest in the coming year, the borrower must return some of the new grain to Yicang. Through donations, borrowing, and repayment, Yicang has formed a virtuous circle of taking from the people and using it for the people. ”
Shen Boyao nodded, hooked the corners of his lips and asked, "You mean, in the coming year, let them return my food?" ”
"No, what I mean below is that this grain can not be donated in the name of me or Mr. Shen, but in the name of Yicang. As soon as the calamity of his day passed, in the year of the harvest, the people returned the grain to the 'righteous warehouse' to some extent. When there is no more suffering, Mr. Shen does not have to fall into the contradiction between donating and not donating! ”
Shen Boyao frowned, okay, it turns out that this guy has seen through his mind early in the morning!
"Okay, let's do it."
Some people say that it was the genius who came from heaven and persuaded the Shen family for three days to influence the Shen family, and some people said that it was the Bodhisattva's heartfelt Allure Yanling who sneaked into the Shen family and subdued the master of the Shen family. No matter how much gossip there is, in the end, with the hundred loads of grain, it will pass away in a happy and smiling face.
As for Li Mu'er, the real facilitator of this matter, as in the Forbidden City before, no one knows who she is, and no one will know what she did. Even Shen Boyao, after being rejected as a right-hand man who wanted to accept her, praised her departing back with emotion, and did not ask her identity......
Who would have thought that this inconspicuous young man would be the female bachelor in the Forbidden City, who is known as a woman who does not let her eyebrows go? (To be continued.) )
