Chapter 183: Do you know how many aliases there are for gift-giving?

The old village chief of Kongjia Village thought of a way to send someone to monitor them quickly, after all, Kongjia Village was the closest village to them, and he was worried that they would come to harm this place sooner or later...... Those people don't go to good places, they go to the mountain nest to gather people, either mountain bandits or pirates, in short, they are either traitors or thieves!

However, as long as they don't wander in the direction of their mountain village for a day, that's a good thing...... But you can't help but guard against it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

The villagers walked the mountain as if they were flat land, and the surrounding area was familiar to them, so it was easy for them to avoid the mobile posts released on the guys, so the monitoring of them was very effective...... They seem to have been gathering men, and now there are nearly two hundred, all of them armed with steel swords, and they are strong, and they seem to have only eaten what they have brought, and there has been no sign of plundering them!

The old village chief's heart began to be a little annoyed...... He had postponed his son's marriage, and the whole village had been ready to flee deeper into the mountain village when the gang of people came, which had always made the whole village panic and lose the harmonious atmosphere of the past.

Those people are unusual...... Are they going to build a cottage there?!

But they don't seem to be, where are the mountain bandits who don't go out and rob everywhere?!

It is impossible for them not to find that their village, although the village is not too big, but there are nearly 500 people, not to mention that because of the good quality of peanuts and the small reputation of oilseeds, there are still traders from all walks of life from time to time.

But what if they do settle down there?!

There is a way that there is only a thousand days to be a thief and there is no reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days------ the old village chief found a few elders to negotiate together, the practice of Confucius Village here, every major event, is discussed by the elders of several large families, the current problem must be solved, can not be turned a blind eye.

They talked a lot at the time, and immediately rejected the idea of driving them by themselves, which would have killed the young people in the village, even if they were injured, it was unacceptable------ in such a mountainous area, if there was no strong labor, the others would basically sit and wait to starve to death.

So, in the end, there are two ways left, one is to ask them to leave, you can take out some things to give to them; The second is to report to the government and lead troops to expel them.

The old village chief filmed the last solution at this time, only to see him gritting his teeth and saying, "It's all when they took the initiative to come and rob them once!" ------ send them away from here, no matter where they go! ā€

This is a helpless solution, and the old people present know that the government is not easy to get along with, and they dare not say whether there will be any chaos.

Well, this decision made many people in the village feel uncomfortable, why should they give their output to the mountain bandits they don't know!

Peanuts, corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes are all good crops, but it is not easy to grow them in the mountains.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the crops are irrigated with human blood and sweat.

However, if you can really "gift" those who are on the side of the couch, black and white can not tell the difference between good and bad, but it is also worth it, at most everyone will work hard in the coming year------ but someone is there, you can endure this breath, at least this can ensure the safety of your family!

Activities began in the Confucian village, such a thing, of course, all the expenses should be shared by everyone------ however, the big families should take out more should also be shared, this is easy to say, everyone lives here, what the living conditions in the house are, almost everyone knows it.

Everyone quickly gathered enough of a heavy gift that seemed to them to be sincere enough, so the old village chief took more than twenty young men and walked all the way towards the guy.

For fear of causing unnecessary misunderstandings, the old village chief had already sent his son to send gifts to those people.

The form and written language of the gift post are very much in line with Confucian etiquette.

In the etiquette known to the people of Confucius Village, there are many kinds of names for gifts, such as gifts, gifts, bequests, gifts, bribes, bribes, and gifts, with different meanings.

A few old men finally decided to use the word "yun", even if they were more remote, they were not afraid!

An old man shook his head and said, "It is too vulgar to send words, and it does not show our knowledge; Gifts, gifts, and bequests are used among friends, how do those people deserve them? It's for funerals, if we use it, even if that guy doesn't understand, it's inevitably a little vicious-----"

After speaking, he clicked his mouth, a little regretful.

He went on to say: "The words "bribe" and "bribe" are too simple for everyone to know------ if we use the word '赇' to show that we have read the books of the sages and sages, and to insinuate their greed for money, perhaps after a long time, they will understand the meaning of these words, and they will be ashamed of their generosity!" ā€

The most typical usage is in a dialogue in the Zizhi Tongjian.

Tang Taizong said to his courtiers one day: "I heard that Jiahu in the Western Regions has beautiful pearls, and I have hidden them, are there all of them?" ā€

The courtier said, "Yes." ā€

It said: "Everyone knows that he loves the pearl but does not love his body; The officials who accept the law and die with the emperor's extravagance are different from the ridiculous evil of Bihu! ā€

Translating into modern Chinese is also very simple.

Tang Taizong said to his courtiers, I heard that after a merchant in the Western Regions bought a very good jewelry, in order to bring it back, he cut his body and hid the entrainment, is there such a thing?

The courtier replied, "There is such a thing."

Tang Taizong said that everyone knows that he loves Mingzhu more than he cherishes himself; The officials are greedy and bend the law, and the emperor is greedy for enjoying the country, which is not as ridiculous as that Hu businessman!

The old man sighed and said, "If those people can repent in the face of righteousness, refuse to accept this ill-gotten gain, and then retreat in shame------ this will be a good story that has been sought for eternity!" ā€

The other old men all sighed, so my Confucian Village will be famous all over the world, see which one dares to question whether I am a real hole or a fake hole!

Only the old village chief did not speak at this time, because for many years, he had been busy with mundane affairs------ far more pragmatic than the old people in that clan, and he knew that those people would be impressed by a word?!

At least one world-famous peerless Confucian will be blamed in front of him, so that those people will be defeated!!

However, where could they possibly invite such a peerless Confucian?

Even if you invite them, it will cost more than giving them to those people, right??

It is precisely because the old village chief is pragmatic that he can only do such mundane affairs------

The people in the mountain nest not far from Kongjia Village were members of the Liuqiu Guard.

Their purpose here was to set up a camp on Daimyo Road...... They can no longer be involved in missions such as raids behind enemy lines and do what their agents should do, gathering intelligence, plotting against the enemy, or participating in assassinations, but they need a really useful camp to operate throughout Daimyo Road.

After many choices, they settled on this nest. (To be continued.) )
