Chapter 8: Beggars

Wang Fatzi spent the whole night in fear, and in the second half of the night, he called Su Bai up, not to say that there was a woman's shadow outside the window, is it the painted skin demon that Su Bai said in his mouth, Su Bai This can be regarded as self-inflicted, and then Wang Fugui was really sleepy and couldn't stand it, and finally fell asleep when it was almost dawn.

Early the next morning, Su Bai found that he was really worried, and it was still difficult for Wang Fugui to turn over. How did you lie down at night, what posture is it now, hearing the sound of students chatting outside, Su Bai knew that it should be time to wash up and eat in the morning, and woke up Wang Fatzi. Wang Fugui saw that the sky was bright outside, and he was instantly resurrected with full blood, put on his clothes and ran out, Su Bai was getting dressed, and the porter Lao Liu knocked on the door and walked in, saying that Zhao Ming ordered him to come down and let Su Bai go directly to the study of the back house, and his meal had been delivered.

As soon as Su Bai heard that the meal had arrived, he put on his clothes and ran out, and when he passed by Wang Fatzi, he found that there were more than a dozen people around him, and they were listening attentively to Wang Fatzi's words, Su Bai listened closely, and found that this fat man was telling them about "Painted Skin", it seemed that he was planning to sleep by himself, and no one should think about it!

When he arrived at the back house, Zhao Ming was already sitting in the study, and in front of him were two dinner plates, which were porridge, buns, and pickles, Su Bai brought one and put it in front of him, and turned into a little hamster with bulging cheeks again. Zhao Mingdao: "Today, for the teacher to teach you the rest of the "Book of Rites", people, the most important thing is this word of etiquette, otherwise how are we different from livestock?" Su Bai ate happily and nodded twice, even if he answered him.

Really eating the third bun, an electronic synthesis sound sounded in Su Bai's head: "Congratulations to the host, harvest the tenth fan of Datang, unlock achievements, show your edge, reward, the primary boxing method "Straight Fist", has been put into the backpack, please check it by yourself." Su Bai was stunned and gained the tenth fan? When was this? Suddenly Su Bai remembered, it was Wang Fugui, and the "Painted Skin" he told those people, it seems that they are all interested, so they will become my fans, so how can I determine whether they are my fans?

"When a person knows the host and has a favorability that surpasses that of ordinary people, he is a fan", the electronic synthesis sound sounded again, Zhao Ming looked at Su Bai and said, "Ugly cow? What are you doing? Hurry up and eat, you still have to study after eating" Su Bai came back to his senses at this time, hurriedly pulled rice into his mouth, and continued to turn into a little hamster, but he was very curious, why didn't he see that man's wife Zhao Yue'er today. After eating, Su Bai began to study with Zhao Ming, saying that he was studying, but in fact, he was just reciting it in front of Zhao Ming

Waiting until there were cheers outside, Su Bai realized that today was a rest day for students, "Mingde College" is different from ordinary colleges, and there are few colleges in Datang that are such closed colleges, students go to school for nine days, and they will have a day of rest time, and they can go home to see, so that they can fully exercise the students' ability to live on their own. Su Bai was also a little moved, although it was only a day, he really missed the little guy of Erniu.

Zhao Ming said with a smile: "You are the old man's closed disciple, you don't have a holiday, hurry up, after learning the "Book of Rites", the old man will take you out for a walk and take you around this group of virtuous people", Su Bai heard this, and came to the motivation, it is good not to go home and go out to play for a while. It's just that there are too many rites, even if it is Su Bai's memory, he has watched it all morning, and after lunch at noon, Zhao Ming took Su Bai and Zhao Ye, a group of three people, and a group of three people went to the street in a row! Although Su Bai is from the earth, and he is a person who has seen strong winds and waves, he still looks like he has entered the city with a dirt bun on his face, which is really strange to see.

Especially when watching the trick, the chest is broken with a big stone, and it is really a bluestone, and the person with the sledgehammer is raised high and falls hard, there is really no water at all, and the stone is also extremely hard, and often the death force has to be smashed with three or five hammers. After the boulder cracked, the people below were still fierce dragons and tigers, and there was no problem at all, Su Bai who saw it applauded for a while, but unfortunately he was too shy to reward.

Zhao Ming smiled secretly, at this time, Su Bai was only a little eight years old, but how did he know that Su Bai's actual age was originally in his twenties, and the group was wandering around the street, looking at the surrounding buildings, the unhurried crowd on the road, there was no tension in the current society at all, a sense of comfort that arose spontaneously, and went straight to the sky from the bottom of his heart, comfortable.

Of course, in such a luxurious place as Chang'an, there is no shortage of the three oldest professions, beggars! The beggars that Su Bai looks at in modern times are almost all professional beggars, earning more than ordinary white-collar workers, but beggars in Chang'an are not. The face is yellow and thin, and the clothes he is wearing can't cover his body, in this autumn day, which is already a little cold, he is shivering with cold, and Su Bai who looks at it can't bear it for a while. Zhao Ming saw Su Bai's thoughts, waved his hand, and asked Zhao Ye to take a few pennies to give alms to the beggar.

A few beggars saw the reward and thanked them for their kindness, and then quickly got up, they should have run to buy food, Su Bai looked uncomfortable for a while, living in Huaxia, it is really hard to imagine that there is such a place. Zhao Ming said softly: "Do you know, why do we scholars want to read? Su Bai nodded, then shook his head again. Zhao Ming smiled and pressed Su Bai's shoulder and said, "You have read it, think about it", Su Bai recalled for a while, and said with some uncertainty: "Self-cultivation, Qi family, governing the country, and leveling the world." Zhao Ming smiled and nodded: "That's right, that's why I asked you to learn the Book of Rites first, you say, what is self-cultivation?" ”。

Cultivation? Su Bai thought for a while and said: "Enrich your knowledge and manage yourself", Zhao Ming nodded and said: "Yes, the so-called self-cultivation, self-cultivation means, and only when you adjust yourself well and let yourself reach the best state can you join the family!" Zhao Ming took a step forward and continued: "Qi family, a house is not swept, how to sweep the world, when you adjust yourself, the next thing you have to do is to make your family stable and neighbors harmonious through yourself, the Qi family is like this, it is also what the teacher is doing now, the next step is to govern the country!" ”。

Su Bai listened quietly, and felt that Zhao Ming, who was now lecturing and teaching, had a special temperament, which couldn't help but be convincing, Zhao Ming continued: "Governing the country, my Tang Dynasty now has the image of a prosperous era, it is the east wind of you and my generation, and only when you achieve the governance of the country, can you manage the world, can you make the world less beggars, more good people, the last peace in the world, few people in ancient times can do it, when you govern the country one day, I believe, you will find the answer yourself."

Su Bai didn't move for a long time, he came to Datang until now, and he has always been in an attitude of playing the world, especially when he has a reputation system, he feels that he is the protagonist, and the rest of the people are all NPC characters. But when he saw beggars today, he realized that they were also human beings, living people! It can be said that more than 20 years of education under the red flag has been very successful, he is soft-hearted, he can't see anyone have such a bad life, he can't help but want to help them, but he can't find a way.

Zhao Ming gave him a direction at this time, that is, to govern the country and become an official, only after becoming an official can he have the ability to help others and change the living conditions of others, and suddenly he felt that he should really be able to change his attitude towards life. Zhao Ming looked at this disciple and nodded secretly, this disciple is talented and intelligent, he is only eight years old and knows how to cheat money with his own little schemes, although they are all penniless, Zhao Ming is also afraid that his disciple will go on a crooked path and lose his heart.

No culture, it doesn't matter if you can learn, but if you don't have a conscience, you can't get it back, this afternoon through these beggars, Zhao Ming saw the heart of his disciple, which made him very happy, knowing that he didn't accept the wrong apprentice. Zhao Ming turned around and touched Su Bai's head and said: "Now you just need to learn well, don't put so much pressure on yourself, my Datang is thriving day by day, singing and dancing, as long as there are no natural disasters and man-made disasters, in another five or six years, I am afraid that the people will be able to have enough food and clothing." ”

Su Bai felt that a thunderbolt had hit his head, natural disasters and man-made disasters? I don't think I've forgotten something, right! Act of God! Su Bai's face turned a little pale, natural disaster, next year, the locust plague is coming, in this Tang Dynasty without pesticides, this is definitely a natural disaster! But how do you inform others? Who can believe this if they tell someone that there will be a locust plague next year? I can't think I'm crazy, what should I do?

Seeing Su Bai's face different, Zhao Ming asked, "Ugly cow?" What's wrong? Su Bai shook his head and said, "No, it's nothing", Zhao Ming nodded and said: "It's boring on the street, let's go back to the academy and teach you the meaning of the "University" chapter in the "Book of Rites" in the afternoon." Su Bai nodded, and followed Zhao Ming back, but he was thinking in his heart, at this time, others can't take care of it, and his own family really has to find a way, but what to do? If you tell Wang Xing that if you don't farm the land, you won't be beaten to death, even your grandfather will never agree to it, these lands are their lifeblood.

Now I must find a way to make money, the people take food as the sky, and the first pot of gold is in the food, and now there is no capital to open a restaurant, so I can only set up a stall like Wang San. But I don't know if there are any urban management companies in Chang'an City, so after thinking about it, I decided to go back and ask Lao Liu, Zhao Ming is still a little far away from the market, and Lao Liu is much more down-to-earth.

When he returned to "Mingde Academy", Su Bai looked at Lao Liu with an innocent and lovely face: "Uncle Liu, can I ask you about something?" ”
