19. Wang Chengfu
Wang Chengfu replied very blandly, and returned to Sangzi to do something, relatives, wives and children were all gone in the war, some died, some were missing, and the walls in Yangzhou were also very good, as long as there was a steamed bun, a person would not have to worry about food and clothing.
"Don't you have savings?" Han Yu asked again.
"If you don't save money, you can give it to the disabled or hungry people on the streets."
Han Yu nodded, "In this way, what you are doing is a righteous act. ”
"Mingfu, you are laughing, I don't have this mind. In this world, corn is grown and produced, cloth is woven by raising silkworms or planting cotton, I want to eat corn, I want to wear clothes, then I have to force the wall, in exchange, this is the principle of 'each can grow with each other'. I see that you are the same as officials in the Ming Mansion, officials have nine grades, and power has size, just like unequal vessels, how big your utensils are, how big an official you can be, if the utensils are insufficient, you have to force them to be responsible, that is, it violates the principles of creation, and you have to be unlucky! You see, I am in Huaiyang, for the dignitaries and nobles to build how many walls, but also see how many people, can not keep the glory and wealth, a year ago when I came to work, he still lives in pavilions, a year later passed by, the house has been in ruins. Why? His vessels cannot hold the riches he enjoys, and his mind is not enough, so he is not worthy! As he spoke, Wang Chengfu had already painted half of the wall, then went down the ladder, turned his head and looked at Han Yu with a smile.
Han Yue was deeply touched, and then said: "So old man, you scatter wealth, and it's also ......."
"Yes, I use steamed buns to make hard money, do laborious work, and get the corresponding remuneration with a clear conscience, but after I have the money to spare, I think of where can I, the 'old rotten earth pot', be worthy of these? Managing this money will have to work as hard as you, so it will simply be dispersed, and there is no such lofty idea. ”
"Then you haven't remarried all these years?"
"When you get married, you have to raise your wife and children, you have to find a family business, and you have to work hard, that's what you think for officials, my utensils are so small, and my contribution is so small, so when I die alone, I have nothing to worry about, and I want to get married!" Wang Chengfu threw the steamed buns into the basin, and then made a "small" gesture.
When the craftsmen of the surrounding walls, mold mud, and bricks heard this, they all laughed, and seemed to agree with Wang Chengfu's opinion.
"Your words can be described as being alone, you plan too much for yourself and too little for others. On the surface, you are unwilling to involve others, but in fact you are unwilling to spend your mind to support and save people. Yang Zhu said that it is not good to pluck a hair and benefit the world, and it is not okay to take a penny and damage the world, but the world will not be peaceful because of this...... Uncle, you are much better than those who only know how to ask but do not know how to give, but you are far worse than those sages who are the most affectionate and take the world as their own responsibility...... Leave. Han Yu got up suddenly, his expression was serious, and he said this, as if he was just saying it to himself, and then ignored it, led the horse and walked in the direction of the military mansion, and walked away without looking back.
The craftsmen leaned against the wall, looking at Han Yu's back, and they all laughed louder, but this was also a kind mockery.
This Han Mingfu is indeed a good person: he not only supports his family, supports his nephews and nieces, supports his widows and sisters-in-law, but also helps his friends and help the backwards.
The only drawback is that it is a good book, so I often observe the market and look a little scared.
After arriving at the military mansion, Han Yu entered and saluted Gao Yue, the Duke of Weiguo, who was sitting in the palace.
At this time, Gao Yue solemnly said to Han Yu: "Under the Zhongshu Gate, the punishment of Li Qi has come down. ”
"How?"
"It is Zheng Wenming's public opinion, because Li Qi is a descendant of Li Shentong, the king of Huai'an, how can he be too wide, so he only kills Li Qi in one room."
Han Yu sighed, he couldn't help but think of the words of Wang Chengfu, and relayed them to Gao Yue.
Before he finished speaking, a military official came to report, and the superintendent Liu Zongyuan asked to see him outside the door.
"Zihou?"
I saw that Liu Zongyuan was in official clothes on the outside, but he was a vegetarian on the inside, and when he saw Gao Yue, he made a mournful voice and said, "When my father saw his back, Zongyuan asked him to resign from his official position and go to Eyue to mourn, and then he buried his father in his hometown.
It turned out that Liu Zongyuan's father, Liu Zhen, who served in Eyue Fang Town, died.
And Bai Jigeng, who was originally going to come to Chuzhou as a assassin, stopped when he arrived in Xiangyang City because of the unstable situation in Huainan, and died of illness.
Gao Yue hurriedly called the military officials, took 50 taels of silver and 50 pieces of color threads, and gave them to Liu Zongyuan for his funeral.
And Han Yu was also very concerned and asked if there was anything he could do to help.
But Liu Zongyuan looked at Gao Yue, as if he had something to say, but he couldn't pour it out.
Gao Yue seemed to understand in his heart, so he said to Liu very gently, "Zihou, Ben Dao will approve your resignation immediately, and let people arrange boats and cars, and in the future, you will serve Que, and the matter of recovery will be handed over to Ben Dao." In this way, this way will send you to Linjiang Palace, and then return by boat. ”
"How dare you ......"
"Zihou doesn't need to be like this, I don't know when I can reunite today, and I have something I want to talk to you about."
Then Gao Yue said to Han Yu, you can also put aside the affairs of the county party and the military government for the time being, and send Zihou with me.
The big river between Yangzhou and Runzhou Jingkou, called "Jingjiang", was more than 40 miles wide before the Tang Dynasty, so when Emperor Wen of Wei Cao Pi was preparing to conquer Sun Wu in Guangling, he saw the turbulent appearance of the Yangtze River, and sighed and said, "I have ten thousand troops to ride ten thousand troops, what is the use of it?" But now, due to the siltation of sediment, the Jingjiang River is only eighteen miles wide, but Gao Yue, Liu Zongyuan and Han Yu three people, in the early spring to climb the Guangling Dafu, down to look at the mighty river, still majestic, Gao Yue can't help but sigh with Bao Zhao's words and say, "Drag to the canal, the axis to Kunlun." ”
Under the mountain, it is the Linjiang Palace built by Emperor Yang of Sui, and there is the floating tower next to it.
Gao Yue said goodbye to Wu Cailuan, and he was also there.
"Retreat, did you say that Wang Chengfu, the man you saw in the market, did he feel the same way when he saw this river?"
Han Yu said categorically, it can't be the same, "In Wang Chengfu's eyes, there is no difference between the big river and the muddy stream in front of his house. ”
"What about Li Qi, the former envoy of the Navy Festival?"
Han Yu thought about it, and said that when Li Qi saw Dajiang, he might just think of relying on the moat for danger, and then arbitrarily carved it inward, "According to my humble opinion, Wang Chengfu's status is low, but he is a middle-class person; Although Li Qi's status is high, he is an inferior villain. ”
At this time, Gao Yue and Liu Zongyuan faintly felt that Han Yu seemed to have begun to mature his thoughts during this time.
"Retreat, what exactly are you talking about?"
"The product is a sexual product, but also a love product, each of which is the upper, middle and lower three products. Sex is innate. Love is born from receiving things. Affection is not self-excess, it is affectionate because of sex; Sex is not self-natured, it is clear from feelings. ”
"Well, what you mean is that human nature is predestined from birth, and human feelings are born out of contact with things. Human affection is attached to human nature, but human affection can also reflect human nature. Therefore, when Wang Chengfu and Li Qi saw the same river, their feelings were different, which was determined by their character. ”
Han Yu bowed his head, saying that what you said was very true, Gong Wei.
So Gao Yue asked Han Yu half-jokingly and half-seriously, "Then in the eyes of retreat, what kind of product can this Dao live in?" Try to come one by one for me. ”
