"Old man Ji Ran!" Back in the manor, the little manie was very moved when she saw that the old man Ji Ran had traveled thousands of miles from Wu to open her own medicine shop. came to the old man's guest room and sat down beside Ji Ran. Ji Ran raised his head lightly, and when he saw the sly smile on the corner of the little man's lips, he coughed lightly: "When did you be so polite to the master?" Have you learned to sell off? ”

Although the little manniu called him Ji Ran, Ji Ran already regarded the little manniu as his own relatives.

"When you are polite, you can't hide anything from the master. That, I created a medicine garden and the master knows no. Now my little brute announced! In the future, if you need to use elixir and spiritual herbs, remember to come to me and come to me to cheer. As the saying goes, fertilizer and water don't flow into outsiders' fields! The master is here to get a nine-percent discount! ”

Sure enough, the Yue Guo Medicine Sect was in a hurry! The best elixir is urgently needed to save the golden signboard! Although the little brute girl was speechless, she agreed without much thought.

Now there are still a few people who can make pills, because Lao Tzu can do alchemy, and there are also a few disciples, and Jiang Ziya, the lord of Qi State, has also spread a few disciples who can do alchemy, but this pill is still in demand! It wasn't until Huang Laodao combined the Yellow Emperor's alchemy method with Lao Tzu's alchemy method that it became the culmination of the Danzong and created a prosperous era of pills!

Whether it is out of brotherhood with the Yue Guo Medicine Sect, or from the interests of Xiao Manniu's own medicinal materials, it must be considered clearly, and the help of the Yue Guo Medicine Sect must be helped to the end. To be more precise, it is the cooperative relationship with the Yue Guo Medicine Sect according to the principle of proximity to doing business, and the little manniu should continue.

This is not only because the price offered by her own Yue Guo Medicine Sect is generous enough for Xiao Manniu, and Xiao Manniu has no reason to refuse, but more importantly, with the speed at which the elixir in her spatial enchantment grows, it would be too wasteful if it was only used to meet her own needs!

Moreover, if everything from purchasing materials to refining to selling drugs is handled by Xiao Manniu alone, it is definitely not the best choice, it is undoubtedly Xiao Manniu asking for trouble.

What's more, the little manniu herself doesn't know how to refine medicine, and it's not good to leave so many elixirs all the time, which will damage the efficacy of the medicine, in this case, reciprocal cooperation with major medicine stores is a must. What's more, I urgently need silver to open a porridge shed right now, and it's a lot of it!

Besides, Ah Ci on the way back, by the way, passed through the Song Kingdom, there is a very famous person named Min Ziqian in the Song Kingdom, the story of Min Ziqian is spread everywhere here, and Ah Ci also heard the legend about Min Ziqian:

This guy died of his mother when he was young, and his stepmother was eccentric and treated Min Ziqian differently. In front of her husband, she pretended to be a loving mother and took care of Min Ziqian more than her own son, but it was different with her father behind her back. One winter. The stepmother made a padded jacket for Min Ziqian, which looked quite thick, but in fact, I couldn't tell what was in it, and it wasn't warm at all. And the mother's padded jacket for her own son is full of silk cotton, which looks thin, but is actually very warm.

Min Ziqian is stupid and doesn't care. On the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month that year, my father took the three of them out in a car, and let Min Ziqian take the whip in front.

Min Ziqian shivered in the cold wind and didn't control the carriage well. The father was very angry: "Ziqian. You can't really be so unproductive, you are dressed so much thicker than your brother, and you keep shivering! Look at your brother, the padded jacket is thinner than yours, and it doesn't look like you're so cold. The more he talked, the more angry he became, and he snatched the horsewhip and whipped it on Min Ziqian.

This whip broke the reeds in the padded jacket, it turned out that it was full of weeds or something, it looked thick, but it was actually a mess, and then pinched the cotton clothes of the other two sons, and I understood in my heart.

understood that he had wronged Min Ziqian, scolded his wife for being unvirtuous, and decided to divorce her. Min Ziqian knelt in front of his father with tears in his eyes, begging not to leave his stepmother: "The mother is cold in one son, and the mother is going to the third son." Min Ziqian's words touched the stepmother, and in the end, the husband and wife reconciled as before. Since then, the stepmother has also treated the three patients the same.

Duanmu Ci happened to pass through the Song Kingdom on the way back, there was no detour, and when he heard this story, he planned to visit this Min Zi, and he also felt that this guy was kind, if he did business, this person was worth befriending, not to mention that Min Ziqian was a disciple of the great Confucian Confucius, and he could also climb the relationship.

When Ah Ci and Ziqian met, they first asked something that they had been puzzled about for many years: "I heard that Mr. Min Ziqian once preached that a gentleman is a righteous man, and a villain is a good man." In other words, the gentleman is always on the right path. Back then, Dayu had a fengfeng clan, is this also the right way? To count or not to count? “

"And the villain Yu Li is the villain who values self-interest, and it is easy to go down the evil path driven by his own selfish interests, it is rumored that Shang Tang has a nine-year drought, if it is not for Shang Tang's sin, how can God punish him?"

After hearing this, Min Ziqian said: "This public case is right and wrong, it was a mistake for the Fengfeng clan to be late back then, Dayu was not wrong to act according to the law, and he did not predict that the Fengfeng clan was late for flood relief, so he was dismissed." Yu's son Qide is very high, and the Fengfeng clan is also Weide Yanyan, if these two guys can't choose one of the two, one mountain is not allowed to two tigers, and eventually the two tigers will fight, bleeding and fluttering, and the people will suffer countless victims, for the sake of the common people in the world, they must also choose one of the two. ”

"Master Confucius once explained benevolence to the subordinates, 'benevolence' is the first of the five constants, the relationship between people is the difference between relatives, 'benevolence' is nature, people do not love their loved ones, and it is not in line with human nature to ask everyone to love without distinction between relatives and relatives. Promote oneself and others, and promote the love of others with the heart of loving relatives, believing that 'benevolence' is the nature of human beings and the essential difference between humans and animals. Therefore, it is a matter of course that Yu loves his relatives and is higher than the Fengfeng clan! So what Yu did in this matter is not wrong! ”

Ah Ci also felt justified when he heard it, so he asked again: "The gentleman is virtuous, and the villain is the soil." The gentleman is punished, and the villain is favored. That is to say, the things that a gentleman and a villain have different things in their hearts every day. The gentleman is concerned about the improvement of his moral knowledge every day, and the villain is concerned about his own personal space. A gentleman has rules and laws, and he must not exceed them, while the villain is full of thoughts about some small favors and small benefits. ”

"In the above-mentioned brainwashing crookies mentioned by Master Huai Ning, there are often Tao and demons between heaven and earth, yin and yang, how can it be that a person is all gentlemen and does not do anything wrong, or a person is all villains and has no pity, this world does not exist, right?"

After hearing this, Min Ziqian said: "No demon is not a Tao, life is a kind of cultivation, it depends on the final result, and don't always worry about some trivial things of others, to spy on people's stains, people's life is the process of cultivating the heart and desire, the devil will naturally grow long, and finally cultivate all the demon hearts to become a gentleman, if the cultivation is the Tao heart, eventually become a demon, the Tao and the devil are together." It depends on the final result! ”

Zigong found another sentence that Confucius once said for sophistry: "The gentleman is frank and sloppy, and the villain is a relative." In fact, this great evil person in the world is often glorious, mixed in the court, a little frank, and has no relatives! ”

After hearing this, Min Ziqian said: "The reason why this villain likes to collude with each other is because he has a ghost in his heart and wants to seek personal interests and maintain vested interests through this collusion. This is exactly what the so-called forming a party for personal gain. A gentleman, on the other hand, is open-minded, because he is calm and selfless, so he can be peaceful and can come together with everyone with kindness. What Mr. Zigong said also exists, but it cannot be generalized, and the great evils in the world are not necessarily the truth, and it is also possible to see the dust and strayed into the collusion of villains, and finally be misunderstood by the world! There are such things, too! ”

This is recorded in the Analects of Confucius.
