Gongsun Jian said: "Naturally not the meaning of the imperial court, every time the imperial court sends disaster grain, it is rice noodles, just take the last time I was in Zhongzhou, there is rice noodles in the funds allocated by the imperial court, that is more white than snow, but it is still not enough to eat, if only there were more." ”

Chen Pingyu nodded, "That is, the official changed himself to wheat bran, what will happen if he is caught?" ”

"Naturally, it is all over the house, and now the court is very serious in governing corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and if it is caught, it will be distributed to the frontier, and if it is heavy, it will be beheaded all over the door, like this kind of embezzlement of the food of the victims, it should be connected to the three tribes, and its clansmen will never be hired in the future."

"This kind of person is really hateful, even the life-saving funds of the victims have to be embezzled, and even replaced with wheat bran eaten by animals, which is simply inhumane!"

Unexpectedly, Gongsun Jian shook his head, and he said: "Senior Brother Chen, do you know that wheat bran is very full after eating, because the stomach is not easy to digest, and eating a meal can last a day, and do you know that one catty of rice and noodles can be exchanged for three catties of wheat bran!" ”

"What do you mean?"

"That is to say, if you usually eat rice noodles that feed one person, you can replace them with wheat bran to feed three people for a whole day without starving!"

Chen Pingyu frowned, "But that's what animals eat, how can people eat animal things?" What's the difference between that and a brute! ”

Gongsun Jian exhaled, "Senior Brother Chen is in Dongzhou all the year round, and he is in the Ji Xue Mansion, he should have never seen corpses all over the field, dead plants and trees, and dead people everywhere. ”

Chen Pingyu shook his head in dismay, he hadn't seen these things, and he couldn't even believe that they were real.

Gongsun Jian looked at the sky, "I've seen it, and Zhao Goutong has also seen it, at that time in Guzhou, when the war was in chaos, due to the blockade of the war border, rice and noodles couldn't come in, and the three meals a day in large households were changed to two meals a day. Just eating grass roots and bark, those scenes are now vivid in my mind, the evergreen Guzhou in that year, all the presents are lifeless, you can meet one or two corpses in any alley corner, and even some hungry people, tearing the bodies of the same kind, they are on the verge of starvation, even worse than animals, it is good to be able to eat wheat bran. ”

"Then the imperial court can't send more rice noodles? Must be swapped for wheat bran? ”

Gongsun Jian snorted coldly, "No matter how many rice noodles are sent, it can't solve the problem, even if every town sends 100,000 catties and millions of catties, and finally to the victims, there are still only a few taels or a few buckets, I once thought, it is better to send wheat bran and wheat bran directly to those places where the disaster is serious, I don't believe that those officials are even greedy for this thing!" ”

Chen Pingyu nodded, "After General Gongsun said this, Pingyu understands, as long as he can live, some can eat, no matter whether it is good or bad, if he can hang that mouthful of life, there is hope." ”

"Sometimes you really don't want to read dead books, dead books, and finally read the books to death, immersed in the world of books, which is tantamount to sitting in a well and watching the sky, if you have time, you still have to go out for a walk, see with your own eyes prosperity and loneliness, poverty and peace, maybe you will also be inspired, at first I saw you at first glance I felt that you were very wooden, not a good person, but you are a reasonable person, do not understand to ask and not ashamed to ask, is a reader of the best character, if you can use other ways to see the world, I'm sure you'll be accomplished a lot in the future. ”

After hearing this, Chen Pingyu put the book on his waist into his arms, and said deeply: "Chen Pingyu bows to Mr. Xie Gongsun for teaching. ”

Mr. Gongsun?

Gongsun Jian laughed directly, he patted Chen Pingyu's shoulder, "I can't be Mr., but I'm very happy that this Mr. is still called, I think I was a little hairy child who couldn't write big characters, and after a few years of fighting, I was called a general, and I was called Mr." ”

Chen Pingyu said: "There is a specialization in the art industry, if it is, everyone has his area of expertise, Mr. Sun said, if there is a need, you can even learn from beggars, they have seen all kinds of life, and from time to time to say a word or two of exclamations, all of which benefit people a lot." ”

"That's just as well."

Gongsun Jian thought for a while and continued: "Is Wang Ye'er a man or a woman? ”

"Female."

Gongsun Jian suddenly realized, he smiled loudly, "Let's go, let's go up the mountain, how far is this?" ”

"It's only halfway through now, and the Ji School Mansion is behind the top of the White Deer Cave, and at this hour, it's time to have lunch when I return to the Ji School Mansion."

"And so far? What do you rely on to go up and down the mountain every day? ”

Chen Pingyu's face was incredulous, and he was puzzled: "Walk on our feet, we can't fly in the air like the Lord of the Strategy." ”

Gongsun Jian was amazed, and he also suffered from this group of scholars, he looked up at the entire Bailu Cave, which was much higher than any Yanshan, no wonder it seemed that although this Chen Pingyu was a little weak, but after walking for so long, his face was not red and his heart was not beating, it turned out that he was used to it.

Chen Pingyu saw that Gongsun Jian didn't speak, thinking that he was tired, and kindly asked, "Do you want to rest and leave again?" It just so happens that I still have a few questions for General Gongsun. ”

When Gongsun Jian heard Chen Pingyu say this, he thought that this nerd was tired, so he nodded, "It's okay, let's rest and rest." ”

Chen Pingyu was a little confused, he seemed to hear something else from Gongsun Jian's tone, but he didn't know if it was, he felt that there was still some gap. Chen Pingyu waved his hand back, and all the students who went to school also stopped to rest, although they said some words of envy, jealousy and hatred, but who made the family the leader appointed by Mr. Sun, it was still headed by Chen Pingyu.

Chen Pingyu found two stones, rolled up his cuffs and sat down, and motioned for Gongsun Jian to sit next to him.

Gongsun Jian didn't have so much trouble, the stones seemed too bad to him, it was better to be on the grass, and now the sun was getting warmer, some were warm, and the grass was dry and soft.

He sat on the ground and asked next to Chen Pingyu: "Senior Brother Chen, if you have any questions, you might as well wait, in fact, I also want to ask you a question." ”

Chen Pingyu saw that he was a head shorter than himself, although this General Gongsun didn't say anything, but he didn't sit on the stone because he knew etiquette, he sat on the ground with Gongsun Jian, and replied: "If General Gongsun has any problems, he must know everything and say everything." ”

Gongsun Jian pursed his dry lips, thinking that it would be good if there was a cup of wine and a cup of hot tea at this time, and he couldn't help but be a little envious of the general, who could drink and chat with Sun and everyone.

As everyone knows, Yu Youjun and Sun Siyu have already given the future direction of the Zhongzhou Army and Ji Xuefu in just a few words.

"I don't know how Senior Brother Chen views corrupt officials and corrupt officials?"

Chen Pingyu didn't think much about it, "Naturally, I can't wait to get rid of it, if I am an official, I will definitely collect intelligence and kill these people together, this is not only a pest in the court, but also a hole in the world. ”

Gongsun Jian smiled, "I didn't expect Senior Brother Chen to hate corrupt officials to such a point, and Senior Brother Chen is a Confucian person, how can he also believe in the eighteenth layer of hell for people who believe in Buddhism." ”

"Taoism takes goodness as the foundation, only respects the sages, the thought of love is always in the heart, the coexistence of the common people is embraced, the suffering is saved by virtue, for the sake of justice can last forever, the truth is not afraid of destroying my body, the righteousness is swallowed in the chest, the light of evil is calmed down, and the evil thoughts are restrained and the duty is kept."

After reciting such a rescue song, Chen Pingyu continued: "Taoism believes in driving away evil from good, forming a bond with good people, and staying away from evil people. Only Buddhism goes to hell to solve the hatred in my heart, and the Taoist master is promoted to immortals, so these corrupt officials and corrupt officials can't be allowed to go to heaven. ”

It is not difficult to hear from Chen Pingyu's words that this kid has a bit of a Buddha and slander.

Gongsun Jian's expression was slightly puzzled, and he asked puzzledly: "The imperial court promotes Confucianism and Taoism, why is Confucianism still not used to Taoism?" ”

"Other Confucian people are other people, I am me, my thin views alone do not represent all Confucianism, besides, I am still shallow in knowledge, and I dare not call myself a Confucian scholar, just a small reader."

"What Senior Brother Chen said is extremely true, so what do you think of corrupt officials and corrupt officials?"

Chen Pingyu didn't understand why Gongsun Jian asked again, he just wanted to answer Fang Cai again, and suddenly felt as if some deeper things in it had disappeared in a flash, and he couldn't remember it, he asked tentatively: "Are corrupt officials still divided into other types?" ”

Gongsun Jian clapped his hands, "Exactly." ”

Chen Pingyu stood up, he made another gesture and said: "This is the question I want to ask just now, I only know a little about corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and I ask General Gongsun to solve my doubts." ”

"Oh? Why don't you call me Mr. Gongsun? ”

"This ...... Please also ask Mr. Gongsun to solve your doubts! ”

Gongsun Jian laughed loudly, he patted Chen Pingyu on the shoulder, "I'm joking with you, as you said, there is a specialization in the art industry, and you have a lot of knowledge in books, but there is still a long way to go in the officialdom." ”

"Please Mr. Gongsun for advice."

Chen Pingyu knew that he would definitely become an official in the future, and if he didn't seek advice from this unknown big man at this time, he might not have this opportunity in the future.

Gongsun Jian stretched out two fingers, "Let me ask you, if you are sitting in the position of the envoy now, don't be in a hurry to say that you don't dare to dare, what I said is if, if you sit in a high position, there are exactly two people under you, one is a person without talent and no virtue, and one person is a person with talent and no virtue, which one do you use?" ”

Chen Pingyu smiled, Zhao Goutong had told him this way of employing people before, and he half-jokingly said: "Are there any talented people who can have no virtue?" ”

Gongsun Jian's expression was a little surprised, "You kid has a good relationship with the puppy, he told you everything, I tell you accurately, there is no talent, no virtue and no capability." ”

"Can I change it to someone else?"

"So you mean that neither of them wants it?"

Chen Pingyu nodded, "Gou Tong said, those who have no talent and no virtue don't use it, and those who have talent and no virtue are useless, but if these two people are given to me, I don't want to use them." ”

Gongsun Jian touched his chin and pondered: "In this way, then I'll give you another analogy, let's talk about it first, it's just a metaphor, don't be angry, if you have two sons, one son has no talent and no virtue, and the other son has talent and no virtue, which one are you going to cultivate?" ”

"I'm not going to disgrace the two of them going out."

Gongsun Jian said "hey", "You nerd, you really can't call you a nerd, your mind is also active enough, you know that these two kinds of people are not good, you don't need to say anything, you are shrewd." Now I'm just going to give you an analogy, you have to use one of them, hurry, say anything else, I'm going to beat you. ”

Chen Pingyu smiled, "Actually, I know what General Gongsun means, people without talent and virtue will definitely not be able to use it, not to mention the fat and ointment of the people in the future, and they can't do anything useful to the local people, so it's different for talented and virtuous people, he can do something for the benefit of the people, if it is put on me, I will use talented and unvirtuous people." ”

"That's what Li'er is."

Gongsun Jianyi palmed, "Now the situation in the Great Zhou is like this, some talented and unvirtuous people occupy the position, he is greedy, but he can do things, and they can also control the amount well, the amount that should be greedy will stop, and the court is not good to pull it out directly." ”
