Chapter 359 with a ditch

Since he is the matchmaker, Han Rui naturally knows what kind of business Usar is running, to put it nicely, he can be called an intermediary, and if it is not good, he is a slave trader, at this time, the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions, wars are frequent, and there are wars to destroy the country at every turn, which is very fierce, wrong sentences, and the people of all countries are living in dire straits, which is not an exaggeration.

It's almost the same as the Central Plains, the war is chaotic, I can't survive, and the situation of selling my sons and daughters naturally occurs, at least I have something to eat, and I don't have to worry about starvation, but the market in the Western Regions is limited, and I don't make much money, just when the Tang Dynasty destroyed the Eastern Turks and barely opened up the Silk Road, three or four years is enough for those big slave traders to understand the changes in the Central Plains, and the business opportunities are unlimited.

Coincidentally, Usar failed to compete for the position of head of the family, gritted his teeth fiercely, prepared to go to the Central Plains, volunteered, became a pioneer, planned to establish an outpost in Chang'an, and then notified the merchants of the Western Regions to directly transport slaves to sell, without going through a few hands, and the benefits were more considerable.

In ancient times, there was no human rights at all, the slave trade was a very legal act, and Han Rui was not a saint with a soaring kindness, in this era of treating people as things, if he couldn't even look at this kind of thing, then he would have collapsed long ago, after all, the servants and maids in his family were all slaves, legal property, and they faced it every day, if they couldn't stand it, they simply committed suicide, so as not to feel guilty and restless.

As for the emancipation of slaves, it is even more of a joke, ordinary people, regard their wives, sons and daughters as property, can be transferred and sold, and if they want to deprive them of their rights, they are against the people of the world, who will respond to support, I am afraid that the liberation will be successful, and those people who have changed from slaves to commoners will immediately turn their guns and kill you.

This is the reality, Han Rui is very sensible, he will not touch the minefield and kill himself, of course, he can't talk about adding fuel to the fire, after all, there is a market demand, even if there is no Han Rui to pull the strings, Ursar will find a way sooner or later, Zifei fish, you know the joy of fish, maybe those slaves, they can't wait to come to the Central Plains, in a sense, they can be regarded as getting out of the sea of suffering.

Of course, this is also a hypocritical and charitable word draped in crime, but there is no absolute right and wrong in the world, it is rare to be confused, Han Rui is like this, for example, even if he knows that Xiao Ye's calculation of his own affairs will not be as simple as it seems, but he does not have enough strength, so he can only give up the investigation.

Han Rui lost his mind and pondered, Usar's butler had already finished speaking, seeing that he did not move, he had doubts, his eyes floated, and he was uneasy, he couldn't even handle this little thing, and the master would definitely blame him when he went back.

Zheng Nao reminded beside him: "Husband, what do you think? ”

"Hmm...... Oh. Han Rui came back to his senses, smiled, and said casually: "Anyway, it's a matter of the inner house, just look at the arrangement, if you want, just stay, if you don't, just send it back." ”

is not a jealous character, groaned, Zheng Naoyue took out the demeanor of an eldest woman, and said indifferently: "Since it is Mr. Wu's intention, then accept it, they can sing and dance...... It should be able to come in handy, at least in the future, there will be VIPs at home, and there is no need to go outside to invite musicians. ”

"Okay." Han Rui cherished ink like gold, and said with a smile: "Steward Wu, go back and thank Brother Wusar on my behalf." ”

"Yes...... Yes" Usar's butler nodded quickly, then took his leave and went back to his life.

"Husband, there are so many people, it's a bit of a waste to be all dancing girls, do you want to arrange two to serve you."

"Don't be that troublesome." Han Rui immediately refused, so he was not so easily fooled.

Alas, women, although they know that most men are insincere, but Zheng Naoyue is still satisfied with the smile, the show eyes are bent into a half moon, and the smile tells the maidservant to take twelve foreign beauties down, planning to find a few mothers-in-law, train for a period of time, and only after passing the qualifications will arrange the performance.

In ancient times, large families in the house, specializing in raising kabuki music, for guests to have fun, is not a rare thing at all, more than hundreds, less than a dozen, there is normal, no but strange, before, Zheng Nao about to think, buy some young children and girls back to cultivate, and now there are ready-made, it is also a good start, and it will be slowly improved in the future.

Having solved this matter, Zheng Naoyue continued the topic he had interrupted just now, and asked softly, "Husband, how are you going to follow the army?" ”

"Well, I'd like to hear what other people have to say before making a plan." Han Rui said that the old problem of indecision has been committed again.

Zheng Naoyue was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly said, "Yes, my husband should listen to the opinions of the elders more." ”

"Well, it is estimated that we will go on the expedition in the next two days, without further ado, I will ask Duke Yu." Han Rui said, quite a little anxious.

Zheng Nao got up to see him off, and watched Han Rui's carriage and horse disappear into the streets, then he sighed faintly, hurriedly returned to the house, and went to discuss with Liuying and the painting screen.

At this time, it was already afternoon, Yu Shinan was at home after work, as usual, reading the scriptures in the study, or the interest came, writing a few calligraphy, of course, it may also be dealing with the political affairs of the imperial court.

Ancient officials, official affairs and private affairs, will not be so clearly distinguished, feel that self-cultivation Qi family to rule the country and the world, one link is linked to the other, inseparable, there is an internal connection, but unfortunately, Han Rui did not even do the most basic self-cultivation, in the face of Yu Shinan's questioning, Han Rui honestly admitted his mistake, ashamed and said: "Yu Gong, the kid was impulsive and disappointed you." ”

"From the Son of Heaven to the common people, all of them are based on self-cultivation." Yu Shinan sighed lightly: "Gentleman, if you enter, you will be filial, and if you go out, you will be cautious, you will love everyone, and you will be kind, some time ago, the old man also explained the truth to you, did you forget, or did you ignore it completely?" ”

This is really difficult to answer, Han Rui had to remain silent.

"Self-cultivation and prudence, uprightness, honesty and innocence, indifference and inaction." Yu Shinan was not satisfied, and continued to teach: "These are the truths summarized by the former sages, and we can't ignore ......"

is very clear about Yu Shinan's character, Han Rui never mentions who is right and wrong, sits obediently, bows his head and listens, repents a few words from time to time, his expression is sad, and he looks remorseful.

In fact, Yu Shinan may not be really angry, he just hopes that Han Rui will remember his mistakes, in his opinion, no matter what the reason, hitting people is not a behavior worth advocating, a gentleman should serve people with virtue, and violence in everything is not a way to explain the problem, if everyone is like this, then the world will not be in chaos.

Of course, it also depends on the situation, to the point where it is tolerable and unbearable, the gentleman repays his grievances directly, and he will shoot when he should shoot, and there is nothing wrong with it, seeing Han Rui's sincere attitude, Yu Shinan stopped preaching and asked the reason for the beating.

Han Rui didn't say it, but said: "Duke Yu, it's so strange, the Xiao family didn't pursue this matter. ”

"Not strange." Yu Shinan paused, and said leisurely: "The old man heard that in order to prove your innocence, you have not given up the investigation these days, it seems that you should know something." ”

"I don't know anything." Han Rui shook his head and said, "It's like seeing flowers in the fog, hazy and confused." ”

"It's not confusing, it's deliberately pretending to be confused." Yu Shinan smiled and admonished: "No matter how much you know, anyway, this matter will end here, and now that the army is about to go out, the imperial court needs a stable rear, what is it, you must wait until the triumphant return of the army, and then deal with it, you are a clever person, you should understand what the old man means." ”

Sure enough, whether it is Lu Shuang or Xiao Ye, they are just two pawns, as for the so-called mastermind behind the scenes, Han Rui can guess with his knees that it is definitely not something he can deal with, so he nodded very simply, and hid it deep in his heart, the gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late, young, it is capital, Han Rui can afford to wait.

"Okay, let's not talk about that." Yu Shinan waved his hand lightly and asked, "You didn't come here this time just for this." ”

"Duke Yu is aware of everything, and he can't hide anything from your eyes." After a little flattery, Han Rui informed him of his intentions, and asked for advice: "Gong Yu, what do you think I should do?" ”

"Going out with the army?" Yu Shinan frowned, pondered for a long time, and asked rhetorically, "What do you think?" ”

"I want to go, but I feel a little worried when I think of the relentless fighting." Han Rui was a little embarrassed, and said shyly: "Isn't it a little greedy for life and afraid of death." ”

Yu Shinan chuckled, shook his head and said: "It's not about sacrificing one's life for righteousness, seeking good fortune and avoiding evil, it's also human nature, and there's nothing to be embarrassed about." ”

"Gong Yu, Master Chu and others also experienced bloody rain back then, what kind of mood were they at that time?" Han Rui asked curiously, ready to use it as a reference.

Yu Shinan was silent for a moment, and said softly: "I'm afraid, and then, I will be insensitive." ”

Han Rui understands a little, in that turbulent era and human life is like a mustard, the white bones are exposed in the wild, and if you see a lot, you should be used to it.

"Han Rui, the old man doesn't approve of you going out with the army." Yu Shinan said that people are always selfish and don't want their juniors to repeat their own things.

A little lost, a little relieved, and in a complicated mood, Han Rui asked in a low voice, "Why." ”

"At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, Lu Sheng had a saying, and if you live right away, you would rather get it right away? And Tang Wu took it against the grain and obeyed it, using both civil and military skills, and it was a long-term technique. Yu Shinan said: "Military affairs are important, but to govern the country and the country, or to the text first, you are in the secretary supervision, you will do a good job, help the court to educate the people, a temporary setback is nothing, as long as you persevere, sooner or later you will live on the temple, why give up your strengths and weaknesses, and destroy your duty." ”

This, there seems to be some truth, although in the Tang Dynasty, the division of civil and military duties, not very obvious, but there are differences, especially in recent years, out of the way of trade-off, Li Shimin paid more attention to cultural governance, this is a general trend, throughout the ages, it is like this, the gun fights the world, and the pen rules the world.

There are very few people like Li Jing who are in and out of the picture, but there are many examples of using literature and martial arts, Han Rui hesitated again, but he didn't realize that he had brought Yu Shinan into the ditch.
