Zhu Yidao's life in the Qin Mansion was very leisurely, and when he had nothing to do, he taught the Han to play Tai Chi, telling stories and jokes to Xiao Nan, and the Qin Mansion was also extremely polite and respectful to the three of them. Who doesn't have a headache and brain fever? What's more critical is that Lao Zhu has already spoken out and will no longer see a doctor for anyone, except Qin Zhixian. This means that Qinzhi County enjoys the treatment of special care. This is a treatment that even the emperor does not necessarily have! Every time Qin Zhixian goes out on a business trip now, some people will ask with envy, which gentleman in your family is still willing to treat people? This greatly satisfied Qin Zhixian's vanity. And his bounty on the list did not materialize as scheduled. It's not that Master Qin is slamming the door, but he feels that he can't take it - is his life only worth a mere fifty taels of silver?!

So Lao Zhu and they live a fairy-like life every day - Qin Zhixian specially allocated a few maids for them, but unfortunately Dahan and Xiaonan are very unaccustomed to it, so only Lao Zhu can bear these maids. The weekday expenses, the account room was instructed by the lady to let them withdraw. But the old Zhu Xiaonan and the big man still abide by the most basic principles of life. No one is going to pay for it.

But that doesn't mean they don't need money. In fact, for Zhu Yidao, there is really no need to use money, and now as soon as Zhu Yidao goes out, there are several large groups of people behind his buttocks. Why the great crowds? One group is a fan who loves him, a group is a peer who needs to learn from him, and a group is a patient number who needs him to treat his illness. As soon as Lao Zhu needed to buy something, everyone immediately rushed up to grab it. As for the room where they lived, half of it was already filled with gifts. After going out and encountering such a thing several times in a row, Lao Zhu never went out again, the silver debt is easy to repay, but this personal debt is not so easy to repay!

Lao Zhu simply didn't go out.

Wouldn't it be boring if you didn't go out? No.

Because Qin Zhixian's daughter, which big-eyed little girl - her name is Qin Xiao, a very nice name - will come to Zhu Yidao every day and strongly ask him to tell a story. Because Xiao Nan told the little girl that Zhu Yidao's level of storytelling is definitely above the teacher of the private school. So Zhu Yidao's hard days came, and he could only repeat the story he had told Xiao Nan before, in order to fool the little girl. But how can a little girl be so easy to fool like a little girl??

Every time she finished telling the story, the little girl would ask a lot of questions: Why didn't Sun Wukong kill those monsters on the spot, but return them to the immortals who sheltered them? Why did Song Jiang have to accept Zhao'an, couldn't he be the emperor himself? Why couldn't Cao Cao recruit Guan Yu, but he had to return it to Liu Bei?

Zhu Yidao sweated every time he answered these questions, and his spirit was highly nervous, and he was afraid that if he didn't answer correctly, he would mislead people's children. He didn't expect this little girl to have so many questions, and sometimes he would even argue with the little girl with a blushing face. Just like when I was arguing with Dahan. But since the little girl is not a little girl, it is even more impossible to be a big man. Every time she finished arguing with Comrade Lao Zhu, she had to go back to report to Qin Zhixian.

When Qin Zhixian heard Zhu Yidao's remarks about plagiarizing Yi Zhongtian, Zhuge Liang would personally harm Shu Han; Cao Cao's talent is really a capable minister in the world, and a traitor in troubled times; Adou's pretending to be stupid allowed him to save a small life...... Qin Zhixian felt more and more that Zhu Yidao was definitely not as white as his face. At least Zhu Yidao is unfathomable, and his origin must be extraordinary. Non-aristocratic families can't teach such children! Such a person will never be buried wherever he is placed.

But Qin Zhixian sometimes quietly probed Zhu Yidao's thoughts, but Lao Zhu always said that he was not engaged in politics, and if he really went to the temple, he was afraid that he would not be able to stay for a day. Asked that there is a succession of art and specialization, he is not good at this by nature. In fact, Comrade Lao Zhu really thought so, he was not interested in the warlord emperor at all. He has just wanted to be a rich man since he was a child, and he has nothing to do and live a stable life. To be honest, there is still a generation gap between him and the big man and the little girl. There are a lot of big Han and small people, including some of Qin Zhixian's ideas and practices, Zhu Yidao neither recognizes nor agrees, to give the simplest example, just like playing poker, Qin Zhixian also asked Lao Zhu like the big man, why is it called fighting landlords? What can Lao Zhu say? Or that sentence, if you don't fight the landlord, do you fight the emperor? He was gagged at once. Besides, the books that Qin Zhixian lent Lao Zhu to read, let Lao Zhu mark them little by little, and Qin Zhixian also asked curiously, what is this usage? Zhu Yidao's explanation is simpler, so that after breaking words and sentences, it is easier to understand.

In this society, being an official is bound to take the imperial examination, and Lao Zhu is old, so let him memorize those obscure ancient texts? First of all, this article dashed the little hope that Lao Zhu had as an official; There is no guarantee of doing business; Chinese medicine does not know at all; Isn't he too busy here? Moreover, compared with the various conditions and environments here, it is even worse than the previous modern society - at least Lao Zhu can do security guards and cleaning migrant workers no matter how bad he is; What can Lao Zhu do here? I can't do anything, I can't do anything.

Therefore, Lao Zhu recognized the situation very early, and he didn't want to have any future or money, just to live a peaceful life. But Qin Zhixian told him that if you want to be safe, you can be safe? Do you think peace is that easy? Now it is a society governed by man, and many things are all between the likes and dislikes of the peak. Every year, many people die of illness and starvation, many people freeze to death, and many people kill many people due to various reasons, and everyone is numb. Anyway, I just want myself and my family to be safe. Qin Zhixian complained while drinking that his income was actually not enough to support such a large family, and if he hadn't had a little side hustle outside and could make a lot of extra money, he really didn't know how to live. Do you think, it's only 45 taels of silver a year, there are so many places to spend money, how can you spend so much silver? Let's not count the cost of living, go down to inspect and inspect, can you not be embarrassed? The people below have done so much for you, can you not be embarrassed?? During the New Year's holidays, your superiors and subordinates can ignore it?

Qin Zhixian originally wanted to explore Lao Zhu's thoughts, but he drank too much first: everything is fake, only silver is real. Only silver can save life. You Zhu Yidao want to be safe and secure for a lifetime, who doesn't want to be safe and secure for a lifetime?? Those ordinary people, those good people and untouchables, they don't want to be safe and secure for a lifetime? Their idea is actually simpler, this year can have a good harvest, can be sold at a good price, and the emperor will be exempted from taxes for one year and two years, which is enough. In this way, another year passed peacefully. You Zhu Yidao looked at me Qin Mi is a magistrate, there is a lot of scenery on the surface, why don't you think about it, as long as I can't do it a little bit, and I have a little handle for others to pinch, not only can I not be safe, but my whole family will not be safe. In the early years of Hongwu, the thing everyone was most afraid of was to be an official and be promoted. How many can be safe and secure as officials until they die naturally? So much so that when some magistrates heard that they had been promoted, the first thing they did was to buy their coffins first, so as not to die one day in the future without a place to bury.

Who am I, Qin Mi? I'm a dog sent here by the emperor, I have to take care of this family! I can't be safe myself, how can I keep the people below safe? There is only one person in the Ming Dynasty who can keep me safe, and that is the emperor; There is only one person in this Ming Dynasty who can destroy my peace, and that is also the emperor!

Lao Zhu was stunned as he listened to Qin Zhixian, who had drunk too much, vent the bitterness in his heart, and he remembered a famous sentence of Lao Tzu: "Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs, and saints are unkind, and people are used as dogs." ”

Qin Zhixian poured himself a glass of wine, sandwiched a peanut and threw it into his mouth, and continued to whisper indistinctly: You said that you haven't read, but in fact, I envy you, men have no way to read, the more books you read, the more ambitious you are, and when you can't control it yourself, everything will be over. Who can do it to control their ambitions, I am now a prefect, but I still want to be a prefect, and I still want to be the first assistant......

Zhu Yidao sighed, picked up the wine glass in his hand and drank it all: "You are still a good official, how can you be a good official if you have no ambition?" ”

Unexpectedly, Qin Zhixian laughed, he threw the cup on the ground and smashed it: "Are there any good officials in this world?!" There are only living and dead officials in this world! The clothes of civil officials are embroidered with birds, and the clothes of military officials are embroidered with animals. With this skin, which of us isn't a well-dressed beast?! ”

Zhu Yidao was really stunned, he reacted and hurriedly helped Qin Zhixian to the bedroom: "My lord, you have drunk too much, go back to the room early to rest!" ”

Qin Zhixian's mouth was still muttering, and he staggered to the bedroom: "I want you to go on a career path...... Just to keep you ...... Protect yourself for the rest of your life...... A lifetime of peace...... I'm not pulling you into the water...... Young people like you...... I can't get into the water...... I...... All I ask is you to be on the shore...... Give me ...... on the shore Say hi......"

Zhu Yidao completely understood.

Qin Zhixian simply told him that there is no absolute peace in this world, if you want to have enough peace, you have to have power in your hands! Money in hand! Otherwise, what will you do to keep your peace?

Dahan listened to what Lao Zhu said, and was silent for a long time: Qin Zhixian is really a master, he not only wants you to keep your own safety, but also wants you to keep his safety and the safety of his whole family! How does he know you have the ability? You're still relying on the Qin Mansion to eat and drink!

Lao Zhu smiled miserably: How can a person like him have a bad vision? I was really moved by what he said. If we don't become officials, we won't be safe in this life.

People are forced out. When you can't choose your fate, you have the right to choose how to face death.
