Li Bin walked to the gate and saw a black-faced man arguing with the subordinates at the door. Li Bin, www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, walked over and asked, "Who is Mr. and why is he here?" ”

The big man said: "My name is Ma Biao, and I have a brother Zhou Ren who I rescued from Dongjun, and I will go to him today." They said that he had been abducted and taken away by you, and that I would take him away. ”

Li Bin didn't know Ma Biao, he just regarded him as an ordinary person, and he didn't care too much. Turning his head, he asked, "Do you know that Zhou Ren?" ”

A subordinate said: "Now the pharmaceutical factory has recruited a lot of apprentices, all of them from refugees in Dongjun, and I don't remember the names of the dozens recruited." ”

After listening to what his subordinates said, Li Bin turned back to Ma Biao and said, "This gentleman, we do recruit some people, but it is definitely not abduction." We're giving them apprentices and learning a skill. ”

Ma Biao said: "I heard that you recruit some children to prepare what kind of medicine primers, aren't you apprentices?" ”

Li Bin was taken aback, who was so vicious, he actually arranged himself behind his back. This black-faced man probably heard this and immediately came to the door to find trouble. Li Bin was a little scared in his heart, and he really didn't know who he had offended. Fortunately, I can get in touch with Ma Yuan now, and I have some confidence in my heart and said: "This Mr. Ma, you wait here for a while, I will call the apprentice to come over and take a look, don't you understand?" So saying, he sent one of his men and rode out.

It turned out that Ma Biao was also looking for Zhou Ren, I heard that he had been called away, it was a rich businessman named Li Bin, many people said that they were looking for children to make medicine primers, Ma Biao was startled, and he didn't want to think about it, so he came to Li Bin's trouble.

At this time, Ma Biao's mind was a little sober, and if he saw Zhou Ren later, it seemed that he had wronged this Li Bin. If you can't see Zhou Ren, hum, you look good. Ma Biao made up his mind and waited here.

Ma Yuan waited in the house for a while, and when he saw that Li Bin had not entered the house, he walked out. At a glance, he saw Ma Biao, who was puffing up, and looked at Li Bin with raised eyebrows. Ma Yuan said, "Big brother, what's the matter?" ”

Ma Biao turned his head, but he didn't expect Ma Yuan to be inside, and said casually: "Brother, why are you here?" ”

This fluttering sentence did not scare Li Bin and immediately lay down.

Ma Yuan told the story, Ma Biao felt that something was wrong in his heart, and told Zhou Ren's life experience, and also told what happened just now, and asked: "Brother, am I a little abrupt?" ”

Ma Yuan smiled and said, "If you care, it's chaotic, if I were you, I might not be able to do a better way." Why don't we go into the house and talk and talk. ”

Li Bin watched Ma Yuan invite Ma Biao into the house, and the stone in his heart fell. Why didn't I think that this black-faced man was actually a powerful person, looking at his dress, he didn't wear a military uniform, he only wore an ordinary one, not like a general, but like a newly rescued refugee.

After the three of them sat down, Ma Yuan asked with a smile: "Mr. Li, haven't you let these apprentices go back?" ”

Li Bin said: "General Ma, I'm in a hurry, I want to make this pharmaceutical factory work as soon as possible, I can't wait to let them use one day as two days, and besides, I'm just letting them read and read and distinguish medicines." It's not a chore, they shouldn't get tired. That's why I didn't let them rest. ”

Ma Yuan said: "Mr. Li, smart one, confused for a while." ”

Li Bin said: "General Ma, I would like to listen to your high opinions." ”

Ma Yuan said: "I think you might as well be like this, give your apprentices three days off, make good clothes for each person, and give everyone some gifts, of course, the salary must not be less." The gift is for their family, but also for their neighbors. What happens after three days? ”

Li Bin's eyes lit up and said, "Aren't there many people who are going to come to be apprentices?" ”

"Then choose smart people to teach, and if they learn too slowly, they can do other things, and I think they can get twice the result with half the effort."

"yes, I've heard that some people are slow learners, and heck, you're doing me a great favor."

Li Bin was happy to toast Ma Yuan again and again, and Ma Biao also admired this Ma Yuan very much. At this moment, Zhou Ren was brought. Dressed in a blue curved deep coat, bald and without a hat, still weak, his complexion was obviously much better, and he still wore the pair of deerskin boots under his feet.

Ma Biao saw that Zhou Ren was fine, and felt that he was a little abrupt. Standing up and wanting to apologize like Li Bin, how dare Li Bin accept Ma Biao's apology, and quickly stopped.

The misunderstanding was completely resolved, and Li Bin also ordered the apprentice to be given a three-day holiday. That Zhou Ren was also arranged to the banquet and sat next to Ma Biao, Zhou Ren, who was a little restrained at first, saw that everyone kept persuading himself to eat and drink well, and he was not polite, and began to feast.

The three of them chatted while eating, and Ma Biao was a little worried about these rumors, so he asked Ma Yuan: "Brother, you have always been resourceful, and there is a good way to deal with this kind of rumors." ”

Ma Yuan said: "I have heard people say before, 'Rumors stop at the wise'. ”

Li Bin said: "Yes, Xunzi once said, it really makes sense." ”

Ma Biao seemed to have some truth.

Unexpectedly, Ma Yuan continued: "I thought the same thing at the beginning, once I went to Xianwu for a meeting, and I listened to the king and Li Xiaowen's eldest brother talk about this sentence. And the king was quite unimpressed. ”

Li Bin and Ma Biao looked at Ma Yuan in some surprise and asked, "He Wang, what do you say?" ”

"He said to the king, 'Rumors are to the wise,' which is a. Everyone thinks they are wise, but few people think they are not wise. Like the rumors against Li Bin, it may not be someone who said it intentionally, and the three of them became tigers with false rumors. If you want to break this rumor, you can only break this rumor publicly, that is, people say that your apprentice is a medicine primer, and you can't just put them back. If you don't let go, you will be offering these apprentices every day, and those people outside are only afraid of spreading more fiercely. No matter how many wise people are found, it is difficult to stop this rumor, so the rumor can only be made public. ”

Ma Yuan continued: "The method I came up with is nothing more than publicity, and the rumors are self-defeating." ”

Li Bin pondered for a while and said, "It's still more reasonable to talk to the king than the sages." ”

Ma Biao also nodded.

After the banquet, Ma Yuan went back to busy himself with his own affairs, and Ma Biao asked Zhou Ren whether he was willing to continue to study medicine or follow him to the summer capital.

Zhou Ren thought for a while and said, "Big brother, I think it's quite fun to learn medicine, Mr. Li treats us very well, I want to learn medicine here." Do you think it's okay? ”

Ma Biao agreed, and asked Li Bin to take good care of it, Li Bin was a little happy and didn't know the direction, knowing that this Zhou Ren would be of great use in the future, and he had to ensure that Zhou Ren was treated well.

The refugees were resettled, some on Phoenix Island and some in Mahan, only to leave for a new place next spring.
