Chapter 158: Gathering Wind and Hearing (II)
Put down the light, only a few dozen pages, but because of the note, it seemed as heavy as dozens of people, and stuffed it back into the young man's pocket. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The wind collector did not disturb the young man, who was still calculating by the faint sunset, and gently bypassed the long row of calculations.
Looking around, I saw that several younger children were playing with rope next to them, and they seemed to be muttering something.
He was immediately interested.
Nursery rhymes are the favorite thing of the collector, and they are also the most eccentric. Obviously the transportation is inconvenient, but the nursery rhymes can quickly spread to various places, often in two adjacent counties, and some nursery rhymes are similar.
Some of these nursery rhymes are about ignorant things between the sexes that are told in things that children are familiar with, and some are unforgettable common memories of what happened in the county.
In short, this is a very important thing for the collector.
He wanted to hear what the younger children were singing, especially when they were playing with the rope, and they would always mumble something that didn't rhyme, but it was catchy, sounded indifferent, but scary to think about.
"If you don't study hard, you grow up to work hard. If you don't learn in the school, you will mix cement ...... in the future"
The wind collector was stunned, he never thought that these nursery rhymes were about learning, which could be regarded as an eye-opener for him.
From south to north, he really hadn't heard such nursery rhymes, and even if there was encouragement to learn, it was said in the voice of an adult.
This five-character nursery rhyme does not rhyme, and heavy words are still used in many places, which is obviously not done by a master, but it doesn't seem to be made up by children.
What kind of work is mixed with cement, the wind collector probably guessed, and even guessed that it must be a very tiring job that these children have seen on weekdays.
Elsewhere, this nursery rhyme would definitely not have spread, but on this concrete floor, it spread very quickly.
Taking advantage of the fact that a few Mengtong were replaced, the wind collector asked with a smile: "The words you just said about playing with flower rope are very good, are you willing to go to school?" ”
One of the children hummed and said, "Of course I do, my aunt's brother learned to dig wells, and now he can get thirty silver coins a year." His family eats meat every ten years. ”
"Dig a well for thirty silver coins?"
The wind collector was startled, and said in his heart What kind of well was this dug?
"Didn't you, Mr. Enlightenment, tell you that literacy and hyphenation are worth it in itself?"
"No, our Mr. Enlightenment didn't say anything, just said that he would study hard and be able to eat meat in the future. If you don't study hard, you'll have to move bricks in the future. ”
"Moving bricks?"
The child pointed to the low red brick buildings in the distance and said, "Shhh ”
The wind collector couldn't cry or laugh, and said in his heart that this Mr. Enlightenment was really vulgar and unbearable, but he also learned and used it, and he was really vivid.
"How can you not move bricks?"
"Admitted to Lan Xiang."
The child pointed to the ordinary-looking school not far away, and the wind collector stretched his neck to look at the child's fingers, and said that this group of people really paid a lot of money to trick the children into going to school...... His heart is punishable.
Dig a broken well, and use it to go to the academy to learn those things? What does learning nature, geography and astronomy have to do with digging wells? How was the man who dug a well worthy thirty pieces of silver a year? Such a painstaking attempt to deceive a child into going to school must be wrong.
Literacy and hyphenation were originally sacred things, but they were stunned by this group of people and turned into a reason for eating meat, and the more the wind collector thought about it, the more he felt that this group of people had ghosts.
Seeing that it was not early, he said goodbye to this group of children, and said in his heart to go and see the adults.
So I turned around a little and went to a small wine shop, at this time, when I got off work, the hired workers walked into the wine shop, pushed the cup and changed the lamp and shouted five and six, and smelled the smell of the market from a distance.
Push the door and enter, a very ordinary wine shop, but it is completely different from other places.
On the wall of the liquor store hung a banner that read: "How can you be a countryman if you don't like to talk about state affairs?" ”
Caifeng Guan Xin said, what kind of nonsense is this, what does state affairs have to do with the people in these wine shops?
Although there was a bit of chaos inside, there were still a few people who bought a plate of boiled tofu and stood in the corner, listening to something that one person was saying.
The collector also asked for a jug of wine, paced over, and squeezed in beside the sweaty hired man, and saw a young man talking there.
It may be that he came late, this person has already said most of it, and the wind collector heard the second half.
"So, rights and obligations are relative. I'll give you an example, it's like your parents gave birth to you, and he has the obligation to raise you. When your parents are old, you need to fulfill the obligation to support your parents as if you were paying off a debt. It's a contract that doesn't require paperwork. Of course, if you were born with a swill bucket and drowned because of poverty, then you will not grow up, and naturally you will not need to pay back this obligation. ”
A group of hired workers laughed and said, "You have a point. But it's a bit of a match for what you said the other day. It's like paying taxes, so it's an obligation, right? Shouldn't those who pay more taxes have the right to pay less than those who pay less? In this way, wouldn't it be a mistake for us to pursue the same voting rights without difference? ”
The young man scratched his head and said, "This ...... Belch...... I haven't learned that yet, it seems like ...... But...... Should ......"
The hired men smiled kindly, and did not embarrass him, and coaxed: "There is no hair on the mouth, and the work is not firm, how can we say that we have also listened to these things for more than a year, you have to learn more, and those people are still a little worse." ”
The young man was a little embarrassed, but not annoyed, and then said something else, and it was evident that the hired men were familiar with the young man, and although they were coaxing, they continued to discuss the subject.
The wind collector was shocked when he heard it, and said in his heart that this kind of thing can also be idle in the wine shop?
Especially the embarrassment of the young man just now being asked by this group of so-called hired workers who have listened to it for more than a year, the wind collector never thought that he could hear such words as rights and obligations from a group of employees who scattered stinky sweat, this is the real terrible place - the whole Nan'an has been inked unconsciously, this group of people is like paint melted into the water, if you want to completely remove it, I am afraid that the only way to pour it out is to pour it out with the water.
As for the final right and wrong, it makes the wind collector feel that these people are crazy, how can there be any right or wrong in this kind of thing? There is no right and wrong, there can be no wrong, there can be wrong with right and wrong, and once the right or something starts to talk about right and wrong, this is building momentum for something.
What is right and wrong about Hou Boguo's lineage? Say no, there is nothing, but once you say that there is, then you can find out the wrong, once everyone in the world accepts the new right and takes the old right as wrong, then what should we do?
He is not extremely opposed to these people's dialogues, on the contrary, these dialogues make him feel acceptable and reasonable, after all, he has experienced a lot of folk style collection.
However, what he is worried about is that people's hearts are in chaos, and once people's hearts are in chaos, I am afraid that there will be incidents, and when the time comes, civil strife will kill people.
Now we have begun to explain rights and obligations in terms of why, because, so and so on, although it doesn't sound like a perfect explanation, but after all, we have begun to dig up the roots.
There are many people who believe in this set of things, and there must be problems.
The collector asked himself, he also felt that some things were unreasonable, but he did not want to deny the rights and wrongs of these things at the root, but wanted to tinker with them smoothly. Smooth tinkering doesn't use right and wrong, no why, and no theory, old habits are enough.
Just as he was shaking his head secretly, he heard another hired worker shouting: "I said little sir, the day before yesterday we asked you a question, did you go back and ask?" It's like you're helping the miners fight for it, but it's like what about my wife? You say that in the future, you can legislate that you can only work 11 hours a day, raise the minimum wage or something. But my wife spins and sells yarn at home for money, has a spinning wheel, and works eleven hours a day, so it has nothing to do with my wife. ”
Speaking of this, the young man's eyes suddenly lit up, and he half-jokingly said: "We have discussed that in the future, if we want to make a machine to spin yarn, one person can be worth five people." The machine is so expensive, your wife will definitely not be able to afford it, and she can't compete for the yarn of the machine, so she can only smash the spinning wheel and go to the workshop to work as a hired laborer. Won't it be useful then? ”
The hired man knew that this was a joke, and said with a grin: "You made a velvet shirt for my wife, but found that my wife was a little fat and couldn't wear it, you didn't want to change the shirt, but you wanted to starve my wife to lose weight?" ”
The collector laughed when he heard this, and said that the hired workers here were interesting, but he listened to the young man's answer.
"I say, the fat ones are getting fatter and fatter, and the skinny ones are getting thinner, and it's no wonder that we're going to be there. We just know that your wife will be thin in the future, so we prepared a shirt for her in advance. We don't want to care about people's fat or thin people for the time being, so we can only prepare shirts for thin people first, it's better than naked, right? ”
As soon as they said this, the hired workers nodded their heads and cursed a few words about fat and thinness, knowing that this matter could not be blamed on this young man and that group of people, and the more they scolded, the more outrageous it became.
After scolding, the young man began to discuss with the hired workers what the reason for being fat and thin was.
After listening to it, the wind collector sighed, and his heart was finished.
There is no need to listen to the rest, and it is no longer the style of the counties to listen to it, but it has become the elegance of the whole country -- the style of the counties may not be popular elsewhere, but some people listen to this set of rhetoric in Nan'an, some people listen to it in Mincheng, and some people still listen to it even if it is thrown into the capital.
The collector sat silently in the chair in the corner, drinking to himself, not wanting to listen to the conversation next to him, but the words still burrowed into his ears like pins and needles.
I don't know how many glasses I drank, and finally I was a little drunk in a trance, and the discussion about fat and thin over there finally ended.
In his drunken eyes, he heard a hired man who seemed to be unsatisfied with what to ask, "I said, little gentleman, you say that the earth is round, so if there is someone under our feet, won't it fall down with a big head?"
The collector was not interested in this, paid for the wine, and took one last look at the young man who seemed to be gesturing excitedly, and vaguely heard words such as magnets, iron nails, and the fact that without the sun it was impossible to distinguish between east and west, north and south, and whether it was inward and not downward.
He didn't know if the group of hired workers understood, so he left the liquor store drunk, sat on the side of the road, looked at the unfamiliar buildings around him, and his mind became more and more confused.
Or drunk, the collector felt that none of the people he saw today were normal except for himself.
Normal people should not think about studying hard in order to eat meat, normal people should not regard arithmetic geometry as leisure, normal people will not talk about rights and obligations, and normal people will not want to know why people who are round on the earth can't fall......
Walking along the paved streets, I came to a building before I knew it.
There were a lot of expensive carriages parked in front of the door, and the collector knew that this was the residence of Chen Jian, who had heard his name many times these days, and he had also heard that the people in these carriages tonight were local mine owners, and it was said that they had come to discuss things.
Seeing the smiling faces of the mine owners who entered the door, and vaguely seeing a young man in his twenties coming to greet him, he couldn't figure it out.
What do these mine owners and this person who has just organized a miners' petition have to talk about? Shouldn't it be a mortal enemy? This Nan'an is full of abnormal people, and there are even people who go to see the sworn enemy with a smile......
