Chapter 61: The Way of the Village

A day after the notice was posted, the first person finally came to the door. As soon as he saw Mei Xiaohan, he arched his hand and said, "Meet Master Mei, I'm here to apply!" ”

Seeing someone come to apply, Mei Xiaohan was very happy, he liked this kind of initiative to come to the door the most.

When this person came to the door, Mei Xiaohan was drinking Coke, and the half cup of Coke that was not finished next to him was actually picked up by this person and drunk.

Goo knock goo knock... After drinking it, I always felt that something was wrong. Then a funny scene appeared, his eyes suddenly widened, his mouth opened, and after a while, he hiccuped and said, "Okay, good... Delicious! ”

Because this person has been in a hurry for dozens of miles, his mouth is really dry, so he can't care about Sven.

"You're not polite at all!"

"Master Jiu Wenmei is a bold person, I don't think you will blame me for this, right?"

"The report... Master Mei, there's a dead horse outside! ”

The uninvited young man shook his head again and again, suddenly squatted on the ground, his face suddenly changed, and he patted his thigh and said, "It's over, it's over!" Why did he die all of a sudden? ”

"It shouldn't be!"

"What are you talking about?"

"Be careful about the occasion!"

Mei Xiaohan looked at the young man hiding on the ground and said, "It doesn't matter, right? Is there something wrong with your body? ”

Mei Xiaohan didn't say this, but as soon as she said this, the young man actually cried.

"Oops! My poor horse! ”

"My poor horse!"

"How can you say that death is death!"

So the scene became very embarrassing, and this young man who came to apply for the job actually cried in a mess without regard for his identity and face in public.

"What a man of temperament!"

Mei Xiaohan patted him on the shoulder and said, "As the saying goes, the new doesn't come, and the old doesn't go!" ”

Someone corrected: "It's the old that doesn't go, and the new doesn't come." ”

originally wanted to give full play to his talent, but was interrupted on the spot and corrected, Mei Xiaohan's face was a little unsightly.

"That's what we say!"

Mei Xiaohan coughed twice and said, "Don't cry anymore, as long as you behave well, I can "Send You a Horse"!" ”

After saying this, Mei Xiaohan suddenly remembered that Sanmao also said something like this, give you a horse.

"Send You a Horse" has been crazy about horses all my life, and for me, horses represent many far-reaching meanings and realms, and it is not easy to have.

The shape of the horse weaves the majestic, mysterious and at the same time clear beauty of life. Moreover, his appearance is lined with a background.

Every time I think of any horse, a leaping horse, the agitated ecstasy, there is no other feeling that can replace it.

It's not enough to be obsessed with having a horse that you can touch, so you only have one. With a real horse, the reality is lost, and instead of freedom, it is lost.

In fact, whether it is a horse, a wasteland, a boy in the rainy season, a falling flower in a dream, a mother's back, and a long road of thousands of rivers and mountains, they are all good, none of them are unnatural, none of them are unacceptable, between the virtual and the real, Zhuang Zhou butterflies.

Often, I don't want to hold the pen anymore, many times, I really don't want to write anymore.

However, life plays a prank with people, it tricks people into living in the story, it uses all kinds of plots to lure people into enthusiastic input, people, first caught in the story, and then, the scarecrow who guards the dream field, is fooled and deceived to talk and tell.

The scarecrow was not Don Quixote, but he preferred to ride horses.

This kind of fantasy knight in costume, everyone will die of laughter when they see him on the road.

I really want to give everyone in the world a horse, of course, the kind of horse that I keep in my heart, in my dreams, and in my fantasy.

I have many good horses and am the owner of a highland ranch.

As for myself, that beloved horse that only belongs to me, has been there all my life.

Often, riding it, galloping on the uninhabited seaside, the color of the horse's coat, even in the starless and moonless night, can emit a kind of submerged and condensed flash, is a divine horse.

I have a black horse, and its name is called - Source.

Although Mei Xiaohan couldn't understand it at all, he felt that people who love horses must also love life, and the young man cried so sadly, which shows that he also loves life very much.

So he asked with concern, "Are you sad because your horse died?" ”

The young man said: "This horse is the horse of our village, the only horse in the whole village, I don't know how to explain it when I go back." ”

So Mei Xiaohan was silent, not knowing what to say, he couldn't imagine that as the most important means of transportation in ancient times, the hope of a village was dashed like this.

After learning of the recruitment, the young man rode his horse all the way, resulting in the sudden death of the horse, which had not exercised much in normal times.

Mei Xiaohan felt that he had an unshirkable responsibility for this matter, but in order to select talents, he wanted to test this young man first.

"I want to ask you a few questions, and you have to answer them truthfully, have you ever read a book?"

"I've been in a private school for a few years, and I can write a few words!"

It is not easy for ordinary people to be able to read books and write a few words, these people are not like Xiucai, and they are not as good as Jinshi, and the requirements are lowered.

If you can write, you will be able to type, and you will be able to make a document.

"How many people are in your village?"

"One hundred and three households, four hundred and seventy-three people, two hundred and seven men, seventy-seven children, and eighty-nine old people!"

The young man reported the data so accurately, which shocked Mei Xiaohan.

"Are all of this data accurate?"

"I am asked for help with all the happy events in the village, and I know the situation of every family, and there will be no mistake!"

Originally, Mei Xiaohan just wanted to give the young man a difficult question, but he didn't expect him to answer all of them.

"I need to do a check!"

"If it's correct, I'll give you three horses!"

The young man's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "Is this true? ”

"Bastard thing!"

"Is Mistress Mei still joking with you?"

"Of course! But I have one more question for you. ”

The youth hiccuped and continued, "Alright! Please ask, Lady Mei! ”

"If you were asked to be the village head, how would you govern a village?"

A small village is related to the lives of the people at the bottom, including their food, clothing, housing and transportation, spring planting and autumn harvest, although the matter is small but very complicated.

Lao Tzu's famous saying, there is a very important sentence: "Governing a big country is like cooking small fresh". There are several versions of the interpretation of this sentence:

Version 1.0: Governing a big country is like cooking small fish, the oil, salt, sauce and vinegar must be just right, not too much, and not absent.

Version 2.0: Governing a large country should be as difficult as cooking vegetables, and it should be as careful as cooking vegetables, both of which must master the heat and pay attention to the condiments.

Version 3.0: "Xiaoxian" is like a small fish, or a small piece of meat. It means that governing a big country is like boiling a small fish. Boiling small fish, you can't stir more, and if you stir more, it's easy to rule a big country and do nothing. The latter is often used as a metaphor for a breeze. [2]

Version 4.0: From ancient times to the present, many politicians like to quote this sentence to remind those in power. The popular understanding of the meaning of this sentence in ancient and modern times is: governing a big country is like cooking a small fish, and the seasonings such as oil, salt, sauce, and vinegar should be placed just right, not more or less.

The ancients fried small fish only once, without removing the feces and intestines, and did not remove the scales, for fear of breaking the small fish.

The young man said: "Don't disturb cooking small fresh, and don't bother to govern a big country." Annoyance is hard work, disturbance is fish collapse. ”

"Cathay is safe! I believe that as long as Master Mei is an official who is related to the people, the village where the villain is located will also be rich! ”

Whether it is governing a large country or a small village, what is needed is intentions.
