Chapter 27: Lesson 1
"Absolutely." Lin Feng agreed, turned around and beckoned Li Li, whispered in his ear twice, Li Li glanced up at Li Yu, saw Li Yu nodding, and immediately ran away.
Lin Feng turned around again at this time and saluted, "Can you invite the two highnesses to go to the palace martial arts arena with me?"
"Good!" Li Congqian had long been tired of watching Li Yu write and draw, so he immediately ran forward, Lin Feng and Li Yu smiled at each other, and then followed.
When the two of them arrived at the martial arts arena, they saw that a large net had been hung between the two trees, Li Li and the two guards were tightening the ropes, and Li Congqian didn't know his intentions and was going back and forth around the two trees.
Lin Feng walked to the weapon rack, took out a sheathed knife, came to the big net, and asked the two inexplicable highnesses, "May I ask the two highnesses, what is this?" ”
"A big fishing net." Li Congqian replied. Of course, it was a fishing net, it was the fishing net that Lin Feng used to cover Liu Cheng last night, and it was he who had asked the guards to buy it from the fisherman by the river.
"Yes, it's just a fishing net, and now let's extend it, what can it be? We can think of it as our current world, for example, the two highnesses, such as me and Li Li, can be regarded as a small piece of silk thread in this big net. Lin Feng casually clicked the knife on a few small network cables.
"We are part of life, and life is like this big net." Lin Feng started his great cause of fooling again.
"If I am this paragraph, then this paragraph should be the father, this paragraph is the queen mother, and this section is you, the sixth brother." Li Congqian snatched the conversation, and at the same time stretched out his little hand and nodded on several connected fishing lines.
"Your Highness the Nine, you are so smart." Lin Feng couldn't help but laugh at the same time as Li Yu, this ghost elf guy.
In fact, Lin Feng thought that if there was a computer, drawing a three-dimensional network diagram might be more in line with the real situation of Chinese society.
"Yes. We are part of this net, and you can't do without the environment, people, and things you live in. They are like threads around you, holding you and connecting you, making you feel safe and influenced by them at the same time. Lin Feng pulled a section of the line a little harder, and the surrounding lines also shook.
On the other hand, like everything we do on a daily basis, we have to take into account the aspects that it may affect. If it is not well thought out, a plan or thing with a good starting point may slowly deviate from the original trajectory and original expectations under the pull of various influencing factors, and become worse and worse in the end. Lin Feng slowly led the topic to governing the country.
"Especially you, you will inevitably become the national leadership of Datang in the future. It's like the main thread of this web. Lin Feng struck the main line of the fishing net with the handle of his knife, hit it hard, and then repeated, "You take a closer look, even if you just move the main line slightly, it will cause a lot of lines to tremble, and the farther away from the main line, the more powerful the trembling." Not to mention the hard blow, the whole net, the whole country will tremble. ”
Lin Feng looked at Li Yu, who was deep in thought, and Li Congqian, who had become dignified, and continued: "Lao Tzu said in the Tao Te Ching: Governing a big country is like cooking small fresh. The implication is to be cautious, pay full attention, and do not flip frequently, otherwise, there is a possibility that such a dish will be fried. ”
Subsequently, Lin Feng asked a question: "If you are entangled in this net, just like Liu Cheng and them were trapped by the net last night, what will you do?" ”
"I'm going to slowly follow the main line, identify a direction, and slowly unravel it." Li Yu pondered for a while and said slowly. Lin Feng glanced at him with pity, thinking that Li Yu would only use this method, in the Southern Tang Dynasty was defeated by the Song Dynasty at the same time, he was also slowly trying to find a way to solve it, and after the last time, he still killed the good general who should not be killed (was deceived by Zhao Kuangyin to kill the fierce general Lin Renzhao), and used the Yong generals who should not be believed (Huangfu Jixun, Liu Cheng, etc.), and gave the entire country to the Song Dynasty.
"I will use the knife in my hand to chop open the fishing net." Li Congqian said loudly. This answer lifted Lin Feng's spirits.
"There is no right or wrong answer, some things are suitable for slow and methodical work, and some things need to be done quickly. The key is that we have to know exactly what to do and what to do. Lin Feng continued to guide, "Today is the first lesson, and I will assign you an after-class homework first. ”
When Lin Feng saw Li Congqian frowning subconsciously, he smiled instead: "Your Highness the Nine, don't be afraid, you don't need to write." It's just that you can look back and think about it, fishing nets can be strung together with a thread, what are you going to use to string the soldiers and civilians up and down the Tang Dynasty into a big net that makes the enemy afraid and reassures yourself? ”
As soon as this homework came out, the two immediately fell into thinking again.
Seeing it in his eyes, Lin Feng was a little relieved. If the two of them didn't think about this issue at all, then no matter how much effort he put into it, he would play the piano to the cow.
"Pap-pa-" Lin Feng's two light high-fives made the Li Yu brothers sober up, and at the same time looked at them puzzled.
"Your Highnesses, today's lesson is not over yet. Next, I'll take you to a place. Lin Feng said with a smile. The fishing net is just a hook, if you don't experience it yourself, how can the two highnesses who have lived in the deep palace for a long time really appreciate what kind of net life is?
It seems to be a reenactment of the scene of Lin Feng and Li Yu's acquaintance, they got into a carriage again, the carriage was as quiet, and the guard was still Liu Cheng, but the coachman changed to someone from the palace, and the accompanying Wang Shenming became Li Congqian. Especially the two highnesses, different from the two Confucian teachers who chattered endlessly, Lin Feng's fishing net metaphor was simple and fresh, but it made them suddenly fall into thinking about their family and country and the future.
Under the guidance of Lin Feng, the coachman drove for half an hour, and the more he walked, the more desolate he became, and he came to a wooden house area outside the northwest gate of Jinling City.
This place was discovered by Lin Feng when he was working in the incense candle shop and running around every morning. The people who live here have lost their land in the countryside, or their families have died in war, or their families have been seriously ill and impoverished for a long time, and it is basically a concentration of human tragedy.
In order to have a place to live, these people found planks and trees from the cool mountains in the rear, and randomly built a shack that breathes through the wind in winter and leaks rain in summer. In order to survive, they had to go into the city early in the morning, hoping to find a short-term job or a hot meal. In Lin Feng's words, they put their home on the edge of the city, that is, they put their home on the edge of hope, and pinned the future on a glimmer of hope.
When Li Yu and Li Congqian glimpsed this place from the window, they immediately became stunned. When they got out of the car, they saw two eight or nine-year-old boys tearing and fighting in the muddy water, and a big girl next to them was crying to dissuade them, and as soon as she moved slightly, several holes in her clothes and pants were revealed, revealing her waist and thighs, and their feet, without exception, were not wearing shoes, and their faces suddenly became a little pale.
