Chapter Ninety-Four: The Essence of Life

"Under the Hengmen, you can live late. You can be hungry.

Shall it eat fish, and it shall be the bream of the river? If he takes a wife, he will be all the ginger?

Shall it eat fish, and it will be the carp of the river? Shall he take a wife, and be the son of Song? ”

Ryazan sat in front of the pastry shop, holding a book in his hand, leaning against the edge of a baking stove, and reciting the song "Hengmen" freely.

This shop is the fourth store he has opened, just next to the west gate of Chang'an City, very close to his public office, and he will come here to watch the guys sell cakes after every day after a business trip.

Huo Guang took out a baked white flour cake from the stove, the cake was too hot, he took a bite with his hand, it was a good pleasure to have a hot cake to eat in the cold weather.

Ryazan glanced at Huo Guang, took the cake, broke it casually, dug a piece of white lard from the basin on the side, sprinkled a little ground fine salt, and handed it to Huo Guang, raised his hand and said, "One money!" ”

Huo Guang took out a piece of money and put it in Ryazan's hand, eating fragrant cakes, very satisfied.

"You're already an official, why would you do such a thing?"

Ryazan rolled his eyes and said, "In order to better receive the Xiahou clan!" ”

Huo Guangsan finished eating the cake in two bites, wiped his hands and said, "I heard that you have lost your favor in the Xiahou clan recently, right?" ”

Ryazan said with a smile: "The Xiahou clan is originally a family style to raise high and step low, what's so strange, I'm waiting for the Xiahou clan to fall, and the people are almost killed, and then come out to turn the tide!" ”

Huo Guang said with a smile: "You shouldn't have dragged Xiahou Jing to do such a dangerous thing, and you should do three things at once." ”

Ryazan smiled and said, "These are all things that I strongly advise my husband not to do, and for this reason I have lost my husband's favor." ”

"However, he did it all, and he did it all happily, and he was very happy!"

Ryazan sighed and said, "When people are poor, they will give birth to treacherous schemes...... What can I do, obviously my pastry shop is thriving day by day, but he doesn't look down on the money he earns from opening a pastry shop, and he has to think that the money earned by virtue of his knowledge, knowledge, and courage is good money.

He also warned me that if I was accompanied by a lowly businessman like this, he would expel me out of the house, which made Xiao Lan'er cry for many days. ”

"Huh? Are you really going to marry Xiahoulan? ”

Ryazan flicked his hat and said, "Are there many good women in this world?" ”

Huo Guang shook his head.

Ryazan said with a smile: "There are few good women, and there are even fewer women who can enter the eyes of our brothers, and it is not easy to meet one, if I don't fall in love with each other to death, wouldn't I have studied under the Northwest Institute of Technology for so many years in vain?" ”

"So you value this woman very much?"

"Nonsense, the reason why I can stay in the Xiahou clan is all counting on this girl, if there is no her, the Xiahou clan may be finished."

"What if Xiahou Jing doesn't marry this child to you?" Huo Guang thought this thing was too interesting.

Ryazan laughed: "Impossible! ”

Huo Guang nodded, he believed that Ryazan could control it well.

Seeing Huo Guang standing up straight, Ryazan sighed and said, "Okay, I'll listen to your instructions now!" ”

Huo Guangdao: "Don't make yourself too miserable, our family doesn't need to suffer hardships, and if you don't like it, you can get out of it completely." ”

Ryazan looked at Huo Guang suspiciously: "You are saying this nonsense when you have a correct posture?" ”

Huo Guang smiled: "That's a sentence that has nothing to say, in fact, I just want you to know that I am the senior brother of Northwest Institute of Technology!" ”

Ryazan smiled: "It's nothing to get me alone, if you can do the other six, I admire you." ”

Huo Guang said with a smile: "All of them are unruly, fortunately, my senior brother is real, otherwise it is really not easy to convince them, you are the last!" ”

Ryazan was stunned for a moment and said, "The one of the Hu family is not a fuel-efficient lamp, are you sure he took it?" ”

Huo Guang smiled: "If you don't accept it, you will be beaten to death by me." ”

Ryazan nodded and said: "That's true, the beard is as fierce as fire, not a person who is easily subdued, it seems that you really beat him badly!" ”

Huo Guang said with a smile: "When you go to Jin Wuwei to see him on a business trip, you will know how miserable he is." ”

Ryazan looked at Huo Guang's hand wrapped in gauze and nodded again and again: "It's completely imaginable." ”

Huo Guang looked at the busy women and men in the pastry shop, and whispered, "Xiahou clan? ”

Ryazan said: "Yes, they are all people who are used to living a hard life, they don't have the habit of my husband despising businessmen, they are more concerned about whether their children can eat enough every day!"

Poor people who read books are actually not right, and people who read good books and good readers should not be poor. ”

"How many hearts have you bought?"

"Seventy or eighty percent, but it's not a bribe, it's a sincere treatment, at least that's what I think."

Huo Guang patted Ryazan on the shoulder and said, "Then continue to work hard." ”

With that, he raised his hand and walked back into the wind and snow.

Ryazan looked around and saw that the snow was still falling, so he leaned back against the stove and continued to read his "Qin Feng".

When the wind blew his coat, a middle-aged woman walked out of the shop and put a leather jacket on his lap.

Ryazan, who was sitting on the bench, smiled: "Thank you, Jiuniang......"

After listening to Huo Guang's explanation of the results of his inspection, Yun Lang smiled and said, "There are so many seven of the hundreds of child servants, I hope they can all fulfill their dreams." ”

Huo Guangdao: "The difficulty of this method is not ordinarily high! ”

Yun Lang shook his head and said: "I also want them to start from scratch and beat the world with their bare butts, but what about it, the national conditions of my Great Han Kingdom are already doomed, and if they are not from a big family, it will be difficult to really get reused."

It's the door that counts! ”

Huo Guang frowned and said, "But, there are as many children of the Han Sect under Your Majesty's command as a carp crossing the river!" ”

"That's because Your Majesty is too greedy for power, and the children of the poor family are helpless, so they can naturally only become Your Majesty's eagle dogs, and the children of the family are different, they all have their own demands, so Your Majesty wants them to bow down and obey orders, which is difficult, because they have their own positions to consider.

You only see the general, you see Ji Di, you see Sang Hongyang, and you see the group of people like the master father, but what about these people?

There are 47,600 officials with more than 500 stone in the Han Dynasty, how many do they occupy?

It stands to reason that it should be a good way to open a branch and take a scholar, and you don't see the big competition in autumn this year, you see, how many children who really belong to the poor family have obtained real official positions?

Our family has the best conditions for studying, the most suitable living environment for the growth of children, and countless famous teachers to teach, as well as your master and my tireless teachings, so that there are seven people who are likely to become talents.

Such conditions, put all over the world, how many can achieve it, and even if it can be achieved, how many will cultivate their children like this regardless of blood costs?

Therefore, under the condition that the educational conditions do not change, it is estimated that the power of the scholar clan will continue for a long time, for many years, unless education is popularized, I don't think this is possible in my lifetime, and I even feel that there is no hope in your lifetime. ”

Huo Guang was silent for a moment and said in a low voice, "Master, why are you so disappointed in the future?" ”

Yun Lang said: "The Han Kingdom is still too poor, the people of the Han are still too poor, and when people are poor, they will only care about their belly, not their brains."

It's still the old saying - food and clothing are enough and then know etiquette, and learning is the same, it is not a necessity of life, and a better life is the pursuit after eating.

In the foreseeable future, the most important task of our masters and apprentices will be to solve the problem of feeding the people.

This problem is solved, and the rest is just to push the boat down the river, and with the help of the current, a giant boat can chase thousands of miles of waves. ”

Huo Guang was silent for a long time before nodding and saying, "Yes, master, why do you say that people are always underfed?" ”

Yun Lang threw a red date into his mouth and said with a smile: "Because living is to eat, eating is to live, eating is the first thing I think about when I get up every morning." ”

Huo Guang smiled bitterly: "You explain the survival laws of this world like this, making it difficult for disciples to feel that they are doing a great thing. ”

Yun Lang said very seriously: "If you can make everyone in the world have enough to eat, you must be the greatest god to worship in future generations!" ”
