Chapter 699: Where there is water, there are fish (II)

Because of the appearance of Mrs. Tang, the atmosphere in the room eased a little, and after sitting down again, Li Muyun sighed with emotion and said, "Old Tang, subjectively speaking, I admire that you can stick to your own point of view. ”

Tang County Ling is also an old fritter, how could he not hear what Li Muyun said, and he didn't pay attention to his wife who slammed his eyes on the side, and said directly: "Since this is the case, presumably the prince must have other positions, right?" ”

"Of course." Li Muyun nodded, although his tone was not as heavy as just now, but it was still very sharp: "But it is your persistence that has made the people under your rule suffer countless grievances with you." ”

Tang Xian Ling didn't speak, just looked at Li Muyun quietly, his eyes flashing with anger, as if waiting for him to finish speaking.

Li Muyun didn't say anything polite to him, and continued: "The reason why I say this is because of your stubbornness, your scholarly spirit, you are obviously wrong but you don't know how to repent, with your self-righteous enthusiasm, but you don't know that your kindness has become a stumbling block for the people to seek a better life in the end. ”

"Lord Wang, what you said seems to have been excessive, right?" Tang Xian Ling finally couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, and bluntly contradicted.

"Is it over? I'm afraid it may not be! Although the Wannian County under your rule is based on stability, have you thought about it, since Wannian County is under the rule of Chang'an, and Chang'an is the capital of our Tang Dynasty, should your Wannian County play an exemplary role? ”

"Isn't the current Wannian County an example? Under the rule of this official, the people live and work in peace and contentment......"

"That's your opinion, not everyone's opinion, if you keep your eyes on the good and just want to look at your own achievements, then you will never see the suffering of the people, and you will never know what the people really need."

The anger between Li Muyun and Tang County Ling became bigger and bigger, and the sharp words made Tang County Ling's old face blue and red for a while.

However, Tang County Ling had to admit that Li Muyun's words were correct in some respects, and it was normal for people to seek good fortune and avoid evil, and it was almost the norm for grassroots officials to only focus on their past achievements and work hard to complete their own work.

No one likes to try new policies, because new ones represent uncertainty, risks, and a decade of hard work that can be wasted by a small failure.

After a long time, the old Tang seemed to have figured out something, and said with a self-deprecating smile: "Lord Wang, I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, not very people have a strong backer, sometimes you can afford to toss, but we people can't afford to toss, one mistake becomes a thousand years of hatred, one wrong step, not only will you be ruined, but even your family will be affected." ”

"Master......" Mrs. Tang felt that what the old man said was a bit poignant, and hurriedly wanted to stop it, but before she finished speaking, she heard that Li Muyun had already spoken: "The surname Tang, I only ask you one sentence, is the position under your ass important, or is it important for all living beings in the world, you pat your conscience, think about your original ambition, and answer me honestly." ”

As if knowing that Tang County Ling couldn't answer this question at all, Li Muyun just paused slightly, and then continued: "I remember someone told me that being an official is not for the people, it is better to go home and plant grains, you said that Lao Tzu has a backer, yes, Lao Tzu does have a backer, and he is very strong, but so what? Lao Tzu has a backer, but you don't have it? ”

"Your Majesty said, the king is the boat, the people are the water, the water can carry the boat and the boat can overturn, if you are dedicated to the people, then the people under your rule are your biggest backers, even if they can't be trusted, is Lao Tzu unreliable? As long as you want to do things for the people, Lao Tzu, the king of care, can't you keep a five-grade county order? ”

Now Tang County's order is exhausted, and he has to admit that what Li Muyun said is not wrong, how can an official not be the master of the people and seek well-being for the people, what is the difference between it and a salted fish.

Looking back at the past, the scholar was angry, the young man was heroic, and he just wanted to seek peace for the people of the world when he stepped into the officialdom, but where did his original ambition go now? Why do you want to land safely every day?

Unconsciously, Tang Xianling looked at his old wife and found that his wife was looking at him with affection, with encouragement, comfort and support in her eyes.

She didn't speak, but after decades of husband and wife, Tang Xianling could see the meaning of the old wife's eyes at a glance, she was encouraging herself not to forget her original ambitions, and she was persuading herself not to be ashamed of her conscience.

That's it, that's it, in this case, what else is there to say, the left and right are just a fight, and they have succeeded in being promoted to one level, glorifying their ancestors, and failing...... The big deal is an exile, I just hope that the young man in front of him will do what he says, and I don't expect him to be able to keep himself, as long as he can keep his wife and children.

Thinking of this, a flash of determination flashed in Tang Xianling's eyes, and he said angrily: "Well, since the prince has said this, the old man will give up this time and accompany the prince to go crazy." ”

Li Muyun rubbed his temples with tears and laughter: "Hey, I said Old Tang, don't do this thing, I just asked you to mobilize the people to raise fish, and I didn't let you rebel, why bother to make it the same as the execution ground." ”

Tang County Ling didn't pick up Li Muyun's stubble, but just asked: "Lord Wang, you said that you want to raise fish, I don't know if you can tell the lower officials, how to let the people raise fish, where does the fish come from?" And where to raise it? ”

"Fish naturally come from the river, and after they are harvested, they are spawned and then their fry are thrown into the water. As for where to raise ...... Where there is water, there are fish, how can there be no place to raise, if it is really not good, it is better to raise them in the rice fields. ”

"What? Fish farming in rice paddies? For some reason, Tang Xian Ling suddenly felt that his head was about to be saved.

Li Muyun smiled: "Why can't you raise fish in the rice field?" Toads can run around the fields, so why can't fish? The so-called practice brings true knowledge, if you don't raise it once, how can you know that you can't live it? ”

In fact, there have been many such examples in later generations, and many places have experienced a lot of experience for this.

It's just that Li Muyun didn't know so much, he had just heard about fish farming in rice fields, and he remembered it just in time to eat fish a few days ago.

So he came to find the Tang County Order of Wannian County, intending to give the people in his fiefdom a certain benefit, but he didn't want this old man to be stubborn like a donkey, and it took him a long time to explain the matter.

But Tang Xian Ling didn't think so at this time, seeing Li Muyun's relaxed and indifferent look, he said angrily: "Lord Wang, you are child's play, and you are not responsible for the people of the world, you ......." ”
