Chapter 133: Su Yuanshang's Entrance Examination
The doorman had not yet returned, Chu Rui helped Su Yuanshang, and said with feeling: "The student has been away for many years, and he has never understood the major affairs of the DPRK and China. However, I have also heard that the Faithful Marquis was honest all his life, and his reputation was very good during his lifetime! ”
Su Yuanshang sighed: "I think when he was alive, although I didn't have much friendship with him, I also received his favor. But I don't know what the qualifications of his children are. If you're all right, go first! ”
Chu Rui smiled slightly: "If the teacher allows, the student wants to stay and take a look, I am really curious about the descendants of the Faithful Marquis!" ”
Su Yuanshang nodded: "It's okay." ”
Chu Rui thought about it and felt that it was better for him to avoid it a little. When he saw that the interior of the house was simply furnished, with only a huge screen to hide people, he walked straight over and stood behind it.
Under the leadership of the doorman, Guo Jia and the others entered Su Yuanshang's room step by step. Su Yuanshang quietly looked at the visitor with a pair of eyes half-closed, and saw that the two of them looked calm and behaved generously, although there was a humble look between their eyebrows, they faintly revealed a tenacity that did not bow their heads.
Su Yuanshang nodded secretly, and then closed his eyes.
"The little girl Guo Jia and the junior Guo Yue, meet Mr. Su!" The sister and brother knelt down at the same time and saluted Su Yuanshang. Su Yuanshang intended to take the school exam, but deliberately closed his eyes and ignored them, who knew that the two of them were also calm. Su Yuan didn't speak, and the two of them kept kneeling, looking at their noses and noses, and they didn't even look around.
Su Yuanshang glanced at the screen, as expected, Chu Rui was watching the movement here through the gap in the screen, and at this moment, he saw that his teacher was looking at him, obviously asking for his opinion. Chu Rui smiled from the bottom of his heart and nodded.
Su Yuanshang turned his head, picked up the teacup on the side of his hand and took a sip gently, his eyes swept over Guo Jia. Only then did he ask Guo Yue slowly: "What's your name?" ”
Guo Yue replied respectfully: "Back to Mr. Hui's words, Xiaosheng's single name is a Yue character." ”
"Hmm...... Guo Yue, this name is good. What books have you read? ”
Guo Yue replied: "Mr. Hui, when my father was alive, he personally taught the younger generations strictly, so the younger generations of the Four Books and Six Classics are quite involved. In addition, I have read some military books. There are also some idle books about military equipment, and the younger generation has also read some of them. ”
"Oh?" Su Yuanshang listened to this, and was quite moved in his heart. "So, you're very knowledgeable?"
Guo Yue replied modestly: "Mr. has a good reputation, and the younger generation is self-aware." ”
Su Yuanshang smiled: "Listen, boy, sir, I want to test you." ”
Guo Yue's body leaned forward slightly: "Sir, please speak." ”
Su Yuanshang groaned slightly. Then he said: "Let's test you a simpler one first-the way of college, in Mingmingde." In the people, in the end of the good. What is the supreme good? ”
This is a passage from the Analects. Guo Yue thought for a while and replied: "Cherish the opportunity to learn and understand your character and virtue." Don't be on top, don't be ashamed to ask. The master has a cloud - the ancient desire is clear and virtuous in the world, and the country will be ruled first; He who wants to rule his country. Gather his family first; Those who want to gather their families must first cultivate their bodies; Those who want to cultivate their bodies. Correct their hearts first; Those who want to correct their hearts must first be sincere. Foolishly, sincere in their intentions, correct their hearts, cultivate their bodies, familiarize themselves with the words of the sages, and do their physical deeds. The eldest husband should have the ambition of Kunpeng, ten years of experience, just wait for the east wind to rise, soaring up to 90,000 miles, this is the person who cultivates his body. After that, he gathered his family, and if he didn't sweep a house, how could he sweep the world? Moreover, the height of the temple is worried about its people, and the distance of the rivers and lakes is worried about its king. Located in the wilderness, do not dare to be arrogant; In a high position, you should be forward-looking. This is the way of man. Above, first be a man, then do things, and then govern the country and level the world, in order to reach the state of perfection. Xiaosheng is vain, please judge sir! ”
After Su Yuanshang heard this, his appreciation came spontaneously, and he couldn't help nodding his head.
He groaned for a moment and praised lightly: "Yes, it seems that you are an ambitious young man." I'll test you again, if you were a state official about the drought in the south some time ago, how would you deal with it? ”
It's already about politics. Guo Yue groaned in embarrassment, subconsciously looked at Guo Jia, and hesitated: "This ......"
Previously, Guo Jia had been smiling and standing aside without speaking. Su Yuanshang saw that she was a woman, and he didn't pay too much attention to her. At this moment, Guo Jia saw that Guo Yue's expression was full of embarrassment, and couldn't help but comfort softly: "It's not in the way." Yue'er just speaks freely, Mr. Su's love is like life, if you say it wrong, I believe Mr. Su will not blame! ”
When Su Yuanshang heard this, he shook a pu fan in his hand, glanced at Guo Jia with half-open and half-closed eyes, and did not speak.
Guo Yue saw that Guo Jia was so sure in his heart, and he couldn't help but increase his confidence. He pondered for a moment and said slowly: "The great drought in the south lasted for three months, affecting Yingchuan, Songcheng, Liangzhou, Shu County and Yizhou, a total of five counties. Tongyi Prefecture of Shu County is the land of fish and rice, and has been a rich grain producing area for many years, but this year due to the drought, the grain output has decreased by more than 50%. The situation is even worse in the remaining three counties. ”
As soon as these words came out, Su Yuanshang was secretly taken aback!
Not only him, but even Chu Rui, who avoided in the shadows, was secretly surprised: ordinary students always read poetry and books, and they usually only know that there is a drought in the south, but few people know so much, it seems that this kid Guo Yue is also very concerned about current affairs on weekdays!
Guo Yue continued: "The displaced people are scattered, and ordinary people think that this drought must be extremely severe. It's just that Xiaosheng thought that things had not reached such an irreparable point. The current drought should be the result of a long period of time. ”
"Oh? Tell me about it! ”
"The climate in the south is different, with hot and humid weather, droughts and floods. It's a natural disaster*, but there's always something people can do, and it's even better to build water conservancy. Cutting diversion dams in areas with abundant rainfall, and then building reservoirs elsewhere to divert rainwater from waterlogged areas into the reservoirs, has solved the problem of drought and waterlogging. ”
"Aha!" Su Yuanshang couldn't help laughing when he heard this, "I said that you have an idea before, but now it seems that it's just rhetoric!" Is the construction of water conservancy so light? With no money and no power, you really want to be beautiful! ”
Guo Yue waited for him to calm down and continued: "Xiao Sheng also thought about this before. In the past two years, the country's border has been unstable, and the team will often go to arrest Ding to serve in the army, and the laws of Daxia stipulate that in Daxia, except for scholars and children of families, they must serve. However, ordinary families are always reluctant to give up their children. So Xiao Sheng was thinking, could he come up with a compromise method......"
Su Yuanshang asked with interest: "What is the compromise method?" (To be continued.) )
