Chapter 162: The Theory of Family and Country
Boom, the sky was clear just now, and now it immediately became dark clouds and thunderstorms.
The rain slipped away along the eaves of the pavilion, and there was a small stove on the stone table in the pavilion, and a small boiling pot was on the stove, and the food in the pot was fragrant.
But the two people sitting opposite each other didn't have much appetite, but a gray-robed scholar took a wine jar and poured wine violently.
Yesterday's events hit his confidence too much, and sure enough, the scholar was useless, and he didn't forget to pour a big gulp of wine when he was compassionate, and then he remembered Taibai's borrowing wine to pour his sorrows, which was also out of helplessness.
"Du Fu, the opportunity is given to you, you can't say that I didn't arrange it for you, what are you going to do now?"
Wu Yueya didn't move her chopsticks, and asked with her chin propped up.
"It's rude," although Du Fu was uneasy, but the princess was in front, he couldn't do it so arbitrarily, put down the liquor jar, and the stubble full of chin looked quite haggard, "Du wasted the princess's mind, and originally hoped to be reused by His Majesty, but His Majesty couldn't listen to the advice anymore." ”
"Brother Zimei's words are wrong, I appreciate people like you, my father-in-law is cronyism now, what is lacking is a person like Brother Zimei who dares to speak for the people, from the perspective of friends, Yueya hopes that Zimei will not give up because of this!"
Wu Yueya admonished, hoping that Du Fu could grasp the present and not learn to let his temperament go like Taibai.
"There is one thing I have to tell you, because of the exclusion and intolerance of the right minister, Taibai wrote a Tibetan satirical poem that violated Li Linfu's taboo, so he was assassinated by Luo Yizheng and others, and his life and death are unknown!"
"What!?"
Du Fu was startled, Taibai's life and death were unknown, his lips trembled, his face was sad, his hands were clenched, and his fists creaked, this was a scholarly attitude.
"You don't have to be like this, Taibai is just unknown about his life and death, I have already sent someone to find out his whereabouts, I just hope you don't take the heavy road of Taibai, if Taibai knows how to use human feelings and sophistication and be tactful, then he will definitely have a place in the court, and He Lao will not have to ask me!"
Wu Yueya said in a deep voice, her eyes locked on the front.
Du Fu sat down again and poured another bowl of wine.
"Princess! I understand, the people of this world do not rely on a court that only knows how to expropriate and extort, let alone a king who only knows how to have fun and play cronyism, Du Fu is difficult to express his feelings for a while, I hope the princess understands! ”
"Zimei just said it, I'll listen!"
Du Fu glanced at the princess gratefully, smiled bitterly and got up to face the roar of the thunderstorm.
"The people of the world are now miserable, and when Du travels around, he often sees those hungry people looking for food in the grassland, where is their food? It was only today that Du fully understood that the food they relied on for their lives had been taken away by His Majesty! Although this statement is disrespectful to His Majesty, Du Fu is not afraid at all! ”
"Chang'an will have displaced people into the city every winter, more and more every year, when he was in Luoyang, Du was curled up at the foot of the city wall with those displaced people to survive, although there are good Samaritans, but they can't save so many refugees! Only when Your Majesty thinks about the people and works diligently for the country can you have the opportunity to change these and let the prosperous era develop again, otherwise everything is nonsense! ”
"But Your Majesty doesn't care about the life or death of the people in the world at all, if this is the case for a long time, that disaster will come, and then it will be a troubled era!"
Wu Yueya mercilessly shattered Du Fu's imagination and sighed.
In order to deal with possible wars in the future, he will train the private soldiers of the princess's mansion with such fanfare, and his father-in-law must know about this. The guy Gao Lishi has already bought off several subordinates of the princess's mansion, just to find out the situation here, so that he can insert his eyes and ears in again.
"Yes, the princess is right, Du is ashamed!"
Du Fu shook his head, sat down and hung his head, frowning.
"So what are you going to do next?"
"Du doesn't know!"
Wu Yueya heard that she poured him a bowl of wine, and then said.
"Zimei, the subordinates of the princess's mansion are basically outcasts, I think your idea is not wrong, but unfortunately there is no place to stand at all, whether it is the court or the rivers and lakes, no one will work hard for others, so you have to work hard for yourself first, so you can have a way to help others!"
After listening to the princess's step-by-step guidance, Du Fu's frown also stretched, he understood, the simple truth that everyone who reads understands, but he forgot it because of frustration, but fortunately the princess said it.
"Princess Xie guides, the so-called poor will be good alone, and the good will help the world! It is exactly what the princess said, but unfortunately, Du has read the truth for decades, and now he finally understands a little! ”
Wu Yueya nodded when she heard this, but she thought in her heart that it was just to let you see the reality clearly, everything is difficult, only perseverance is always.
"But what do you think these displaced people have lost?"
Du Fu put down the wine bowl and frowned, what did they lose?
"Princess, they have lost their food, their relatives, and their shelter!"
Wu Yueya smiled and nodded, revealing a small tiger tooth.
At this time, the rain stopped, and the peony flowers bathed as if they were blooming at the right time.
"No, they lost their home!"
Du Fu suddenly realized that he clearly understood the meaning, but he couldn't understand it, and he couldn't grasp the truth, just like a drowning person who could see that there was a life-saving rope but couldn't grasp it.
"Zimei, they have lost their home in the country, they have lost their homeland! If you don't survive, you will leave the original place, wander around, and come to the surrounding prosperous towns in the hope of finding a way to survive. ”
"Du Fu somewhat understood..."
Wu Yueya directly interrupted Du Fu's words and stood up, her long red sleeves hanging down, standing with her hands in her hands, and the sunlight broke through the clouds.
"What is the kingdom made of?"
Du Fu was puzzled and thought about it before answering.
"The kingdom consists of kings, armies, and people..."
"No, the nation is made up of families! The homes of tens of millions of people formed a collective and became a country! Only when there is a home can there be a country, and only when there is a country can there be a home! When the people are displaced, they lose their homes and their kingdoms. At least the current court is no longer what the people need! ”
After listening to the princess's explanation, Du Fu's eyes widened, and tears of excitement flashed when surprise emerged, as if he was moved when he was reunited after a great parting.
"The princess understands the righteousness, and Du admires it! Admire! Only when there is a home can there be a country, and only when there is a country can there be a home! Du Fu has always thought that the prosperity of the country lies in His Majesty and the king, which is wrong, the prosperity of the country lies in the people in its fundamental position! ”
Du Fu suddenly laughed wildly, and the dry land that had been in nectar for a long time was finally bathed in the clear rain, and the dark clouds in the sky dispersed, and the sun shone in Chang'an City.
After the laughter, Du Fu hurriedly asked, his eyes brightened, like a student who was eager to learn.
"You always say that the way of a businessman is to seek a cheap price, but you don't know that if you want to drive economic development and people's lives, you need the help of businessmen, and the reduction of taxes you said is also a necessary step! When the demand increases, the people will have the motivation to produce! It's just that now they don't even have the conditions for production! ”
"Wouldn't it be better to strengthen one's own strength through business, slowly expand to the side, create more positions, recruit displaced people, and let them support themselves?"
Du Fu thought deeply, what the princess said was true! Now he also realizes his naivety and inadequacy, business can indeed temper those deficiencies, worry about the country and the people, and aspire to be a deep city government for the people, he has figured this out.
"Du Fu keeps in mind the teachings of the lord and hopes to continue to contribute to the princess's mansion, not only for the ambition in his chest, but also for the people of the world!"
Although kowtowing to a woman many years younger than him felt good about kowtowing to him, it did not prevent him from offering his loyalty.
On this day, Du Fu started a new life.
