Li Zheng opened his mouth to tell a fable: Once upon a time, in a cold winter, the farmer returning home from the market found a snake on the side of the road, and the farmer saw that the snake was frozen and very pitiful, so he put it in his arms and used his body temperature to revive it...... Then the snake was frightened and instinctively bit the farmer and poisoned him.

Before he died, the farmer was very sorry and said sadly: I wanted to do good deeds, but because of my shallow knowledge, I killed myself.

After listening to this story, there was silence in the school.

"That's the end of today's class, you go back and write down your feelings and give them to me." Li Zheng instructed.

"Teacher, we get it." After the student finished speaking, he rushed out.

Kong Yingda is also thinking about this story carefully.

Li Zheng's class ended quickly, and a story was quickly told.

If you think about it again, the story is indeed very evocative, a kind farmer saved a poisonous snake, but was bitten by the poisonous snake.

The snake is instinctive, and the farmer is good.

But a simple act of kindness cost the farmer his life.

It is the nature of snakes to bite people, whether the snake is bad or the farmer is stupid.

The deep meaning of this story is indeed intriguing.

Li Zheng accompanied Kong Yingda out of the academy.

Kong Yingda stopped and said to Li Zheng: "The old man knows that you are unwilling to enter the court, and you are not willing to go to Chang'an, if you encounter something in the future, the old man can also help you." ”

"Thank you, Master Kong." Li Zheng saluted slightly.

Kong Yingda smiled and said: "Even if you have no intention of competing with anyone, you have to remember that there will always be people who are unwilling." ”

Li Zheng nodded: "I see." ”

Kong Yingda patted Li Zheng on the shoulder, "The old man also gained a good harvest this time, seeing that you are just telling a story to the children, although the story is good, don't you teach them to read and break?" Don't you teach them arithmetic? ”

Li Zheng said helplessly: "Old Master Kong, do you know that when I first taught children, only a few children came to class?"

"How many?"

"There are only eight of them, and the younger ones are fine, and the older ones are going to do farm work in half an hour, and they don't have much time to study, and now it's rare for them to come."

Li Zheng pointed to a few children doing farm work in the distance, "They are only 12 years old, and they have to help the family carry the burden." For them, studying to become an official is a delusion, and if they can't make a difference, what is the use of them studying? ”

"I can teach them as much knowledge as possible, and I hope that they will not be deceived when they go elsewhere in the future, and they will not be easily taken advantage of."

"So you told a story about a farmer and a snake? The old man didn't necessarily understand them. ”

"There are some things that people will understand subtly as they grow up."

"The old man sometimes feels like you're not a twelve-year-old."

Li Zheng smiled and said nothing.

"The old man took his leave first."

"Master Kong, walk slowly." Li Zheng looked at Kong Yingda's back and said.

Even if you have no intention of competing with anyone, you have to remember that there will always be people who are unwilling.

Why does this sentence sound so much like a warning, but it's still too ostentatious.

It's better to be a little bit harder.

Kong Yingda walked outside Jingyang Village and saw that the place that was originally a wasteland was lush and green.

Looking at these crops, Kong Yingda asked the villagers who were working: "Is it really something that has been grown in the wasteland, are these things really food?" ”

The villagers saw that Kong Yingda, who was well-dressed, was not easy to approach, so they said: "I don't know what this thing is, but the county asked us to do it, so we planted it, and this kind can really grow things in the wasteland." ”

Kong Yingda took a look at it, this kind of crop he had never seen before.

It's like bamboo, but if you look closely, there is no fruit on it.

The leaves of these knots are much wider than those of bamboo leaves.

Kong Yingda picked a leaf and planned to take it back to Chang'an, comparing it with ancient books.

Back in Chang'an, a story of a farmer and a snake began to spread from Guozijian.

Many people in Chang'an are talking about this story.

Some people say that it is the nature of a snake to bite a farmer.

Some people say that the farmer is too stupid to save the snake.

In the palace, Li Shimin is also pondering the relationship between this farmer and the snake, the evil of nature and the stupidity of kindness, although these two are in the story, but reflected in the present, how many people are snakes and how many people are farmers.

The more I read this story, the more enjoyable it became.

"Your Majesty should dine." Meals brought by the eunuchs.

Li Shimin put aside the piece in his hand and said, "Then let's eat." ”

After having the spirits of the Cheng Biting Jin family, Li Shimin rarely drank Sanle pulp.

Looking at the pot of vegetables on his table and seeing half a chicken, Li Shimin thought that in order to save money recently, the princes and princesses had not eaten a good meal of meat for some time.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin said to the eunuch who delivered the dishes: "If you pass the word, the princesses and princes of each palace will send half a chicken over." ”

"Whoa."

After saying this, Li Shimin's mood became much more comfortable.

Li Shimin finished his meal, and after a while, the eunuch came back with half a chicken.

"What's wrong?"

The eunuch replied: "His Royal Highness the King of Wei said that he didn't need it, and that he would give some food to the other young princes in the palace. ”

Li Shimin looked at the half chicken and said: "Qingque rarely has this heart, it is good to be willing to give food to young brothers and sisters, and send it to the Lizheng Palace." ”

"Whoa." The eunuch bowed and retreated.

Li Shimin just picked up the pen and wanted to review the chapter, and felt that something was wrong, Qingque usually likes to eat meat.

I also know that when he was in Dali Temple, he asked for meat for a meal.

To say that he is also his own son, he feels a little guilty that his son has not been able to eat a meal of meat for so long.

However, now the court and the central government are nervous, and the palace has not been repaired for some years, and it has not dared to be repaired.

With so many things to deal with in the DPRK and China, many places have lost their harvest in the past two years.

The situation in various places is good this year, and it should be a bumper harvest year, and then it will increase the use of the princes and princesses.

Li Shimin made up his mind in his heart, and he also suffered these children.

The Mansion of King Wei

Li Tai closed the door of his room, excitedly came to the table, opened the lid of the pot, and the smell of meat immediately came to his face.

Pork stew, and some wild vegetables to get tired.

Pick up a piece and put it in your mouth, and the cooked pork will melt in your mouth.

"Sure enough, it's still pork-flavored." Li Tai sighed.

It is said that pork is cheap meat, and many people do not eat it.

Li Tai only dared to eat secretly, and with a sip of spirits, life was just like that.

While eating, someone from the mansion came to report, "His Royal Highness King Wei, Princess Changle is here." ”

The meat was hanging in mid-air before it could be put in his mouth, Li Tai hurriedly closed his mouth and said, "Wait, let her wait first." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard laughter outside the door.
