Chapter 86 The Theory of the Vegetable Market
Near noon, Lin Feng reluctantly came out of the fragrant and secluded courtyard of the Zhou Mansion and left the Zhou Mansion step by step.
Wei San was waiting bored at the gate of the Zhou Mansion, and as soon as he saw Lin Feng, he immediately greeted him and said, "Lord Lin, Xiao Fei'er and Yaya have all returned to the house, and the money has been distributed, that is, three more young people have come back!" ”
Wei San's home is not too far from here, he left the moon to his mother-in-law after he went back, and kept it warm with the child for a while, and when he came back, he turned back to the house to take a look and found this strange thing.
What do you mean? Lin Feng was also curious, and strode in the direction of the Lin Mansion.
From a distance, Lin Feng saw three young people standing at the gate of his house, their clothes were full of dust and muddy water, and they were looking around.
When they saw Lin Feng in an official uniform from a distance, they immediately greeted him, knelt on the ground with a "plop", and said loudly: "The little one has seen Lord Lin!" ”
Lin Feng hurriedly helped them up, and asked Heyan: "You guys came from the supermarket construction site, didn't you pay you today's bonus?" ”
"Yes! No, it's not! A young man at the head replied hurriedly, and a young man behind him stabbed him with his hand, and he hurriedly added: "Lord Lin, we are the craftsmen of the supermarket, but we are not here because of the bonus!" ”
Lin Feng suddenly put his mind at ease, and asked as he walked towards the mansion, "Then what are you doing?" ”
At this time, the maid who was playing not far from the courtyard gate saw Lin Feng and immediately shouted loudly, "Sister Fei'er". Xiao Fei'er walked out of the house quickly when she heard the sound, and walked towards Lin Feng with Yaya.
The three young men knelt down with a "plop" again, and the young man at the head spoke with some hesitation: "Lord Lin, we are all from Sanming, Jianzhou, and we have been working since we were children. We have followed a lot of masters, but we have never met such a good person as Lord Lin, who not only wants to erect a monument for us craftsmen, but also gives us bonuses! A few of us have discussed it in private, and we will voluntarily follow the adults in the future and be cattle and horses for the adults for the rest of our lives! ”
"You get up first, I don't like people kneeling around." Lin Feng said loudly, his brows furrowed. It's not uncommon for some craftsmen to be grateful for their contributions, but the timing doesn't seem right.
When the three of them saw Lin Feng's uncertain face, they were suddenly a little panicked, and their bodies couldn't help but shrink back.
At this time, Xiao Fei'er pulled Yaya to Lin Feng's side, and explained with a little red face: "Childe, we have put all the bonuses in the hands of the craftsman. Before getting into the car, these three people found us and said that they volunteered to go to the house to be subordinates. I refused a few times, but they still ran with the carriage. ”
There was a reason why Xiao Fei'er's face was red, and she went to send money instead of Lin Feng in the morning. The craftsmen at the scene didn't know about her situation, and immediately called them "Mrs. Lin" one by one, and they all had an extremely respectful attitude. Xiao Fei'er denied it, and admitted that it was not, and her face was red all morning. Especially these three young people, they even shouted out the title of "master mother", and she gave them a hard lecture.
"Jianzhou Sanming? Is it close to Wu Yue and Qingyuan? Lin Feng paced two steps, suddenly remembered a small question, and asked the three young men.
"Yes, Lord Lin. We are close to the other two countries, there are occasional wars, and there are many mountains and few places, so basically everyone who can come out has come out. The young man replied.
"So be it. The supermarket is not yet fully built, so it is not appropriate for me to take you in at this time. When the supermarket is finished, I'll give you another letter, okay? Lin Feng thought for a moment and said to the three young people.
"Lord Xie Lu Xie Lin, Xie Lu Xie Mistress!" After the three young men finished speaking quickly, they quickly lay down and kowtowed, and ran away as if they were flying.
The housewife? Everyone at the scene looked at Xiao Fei'er, Xiao Fei'er's face turned red, and she stomped her feet and said in a coquettish voice: "Childe, they are screaming, and I have quarreled with them because of this!" Don't be angry! ”
"What's there to be angry about? This shows that you have the demeanor of the head of the family when you send money in the morning! Lin Feng laughed twice, grabbed Xiao Fei'er's waist with one hand, and pulled Yaya towards the main hall with the other.
"By the way, have Zizheng and Zhuang Fei come back?" Lin Feng asked as he walked.
"Childe, you said those two nerds! They went to the vegetable market for a long time, bought a few green onions and a few greens, and even the side dishes of their own meal were not enough, and we all laughed for a long time! When Xiao Fei'er heard the inquiry, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh, and Yaya laughed.
Lin Feng immediately asked, "Where are they now?" ”
"I should still be hiding in the guest room!" Xiao Fei'er couldn't hold back a smile and pointed in the direction of the customer.
"I'll go see them!" Lin Feng let go of the two of them and immediately walked towards the guest room.
Lin Feng knocked on the door and pushed the door in. Shu Ya and Wu Qiao, who were reading a book, saw Lin Feng and hurriedly got up and bowed.
"How? How do you feel after going to the wet market in the morning? Lin Feng didn't talk nonsense and went straight to the point.
Shu Ya and Wu Qiao glanced at each other, their faces were a little ashamed, and Shu Ya said with admiration: "The students have been observing the market for a long time, but they have not found anything. Wu Qiao hesitated, opened his mouth a few times, and didn't say anything.
And the actual situation is that the two of them were not too poor in their original family backgrounds, and they had never bought vegetables in person every day, especially in the past few years when Wu Qiao stayed in Lushan Temple, he directly handed over all his money to the temple, and went to eat when he got to dinner, not to mention who bought vegetables and who cooked.
When the two of them arrived at the vegetable market, they found themselves dressed in Confucian clothes and suddenly became the object of everyone's attention. In everyone's surprised eyes, the two of them couldn't hold on, squatted down and chatted with a hawker, bought a few green onions and a handful of vegetables, and hurriedly stayed away, standing on the periphery of the vegetable market and looking at it for a long time, naturally they didn't observe the reason.
Lin Feng was not angry, he could imagine the scene when the two of them arrived at the vegetable market, wasn't it the same when he just graduated and went to work, he didn't care about doing too small work, and he couldn't do big work all of a sudden. This ancient Confucian scholar, to put it nicely, has the dignity and nobility of a scholar, and to put it bluntly, it is actually the pedantry and stubbornness hidden in the heart.
Lin Feng sat down on the bed opposite the two, pointed to the book on the table, and said again the opening sentence when he and Li Yu met for the first time: "The paper is shallow, you must know that you have to bow down on this matter!" I ask you, what is your purpose in life? ”
Shu Ya and Wu Qiao glanced at each other again, and their faces were even more ashamed.
Both of them are people whose hearts are higher than the sky, but when they arrived in Jinling City, they found that Lord Han Xizai, who was passed on by word of mouth and admired by him, was only a six-grade Yu member for twenty-four years, and even if he was in the imperial examination high school, he was afraid that he would have to start from a small sesame official, and his previous ambitions were naturally embarrassed to tell Lin Feng.
In history, Shu Ya because he was the first place in the palace examination hand-picked by the emperor, and was awarded the Hanlin Academy to edit and compile the history of the country with the honor of the champion, but he could only compile a book like this, and later followed Li Yu to surrender to the Northern Song Dynasty. And Wu Qiao, although he is also the champion, but after high school, he was only sent to Shezhou to do a Sima idle position, and after the last, it was Wu Qiao who asked Zhang Bo, who was a jinshi in the same year, to come forward to recommend, and the official was sentenced to Shezhou, and then promoted to the examiner Wailang, the household member Wailang. After Li Yu descended to the north, Wu Qiao was reluctant to enter the Song Dynasty, so he hid in Jiuhua Mountain.
Lin Feng stretched out his right hand to Xiangping, pointed to his right palm with his left hand and said, "Do you know your current mentality and situation?" Just like this right palm, it is far from the ground and not grounded, but at the same time it is not high enough to expand its mind and look at the world! But it is not possible to do things with such a mentality and enter the office! ”
Lin Feng leaned over and pressed the ground with the palm of his right hand, stood on the bed again, touched the beam with his right hand, and then sat down and said: "If you want to really achieve a great career, you must do the lowest things, and you can also do the top things!" ”
Shu Ya and Wu Qiao stood up straight, and said in unison: "Thank you for your teachings!" ”
Lin Feng waved his hand, and then said: "Take this vegetable market as an example, if you look carefully and think boldly, isn't it just like the world and sentient beings in our world?"
For example, if the location of the vegetable market itself is well set up, just like our reform measures, the starting point is in place, and the market will definitely prosper, if it is far from the needs of the common people at the beginning, or just for some powerful people, then it will eventually fail.
For another example, the best and fastest vegetables in the vegetable market must be the dishes that everyone can afford and everyone likes, just like our reform measures, if they cannot benefit the public, then it must be a one-sided change that cannot last long.
From another point of view, in the vegetable market, there are people who have a lot of money to buy meat and expensive vegetables, there are also those who can only afford low-grade vegetables, and there are those who can't afford to buy vegetables, and can only wait for the vegetable market to disperse and pick up vegetable leaves for a living. ”
Speaking of this, Lin Feng stood up, paced two steps in front of the bed, and continued: "So, from another point of view, this small vegetable market is a good way for us to understand the people's livelihood and the world's major events.
For example, if the price of vegetables soars and everyone can't afford to eat it, it must be that the country has reached a stage where there are deep evils and the people are not able to make a living; For example, if a certain fruit is not available in the entire market, either there is a big problem with the origin of the fruit, or something big has happened on the way!
Why do we say, 'Although the sparrow is small, it has all kinds of organs?' From a drop of seawater, I can also get a glimpse of some of the basic characteristics of the sea, which is the 'dripping water hides the sea'. Not only the vegetable market, but many things in life can give us a glimpse of the world outside of us! There are many similar things, I will not list them all, you can think about them slowly in the future. ”
Lin Feng stood still, looked at the two disciples, and said, "Okay." During this time, I will assign you a task: around the first three questions of the ten recruitment questions, combined with the current reform ideas, conceive the answers to the questions, not only have clear ideas, but also have effective solutions, I will check in a month! ”
"Yes! Thank you for your advice! The two bowed to the ground and thanked them.
"Alright, let's all go to dinner!" Lin Feng's face softened, he commanded, and then turned around and walked out of the house.
Shu Ya pulled Lawuqiao and said, "Zhuang Fei, I want to go to the vegetable market again now, will you go?" ”
Wu Qiao groaned for a while and replied, "You go first, I'll go in the afternoon." Now, I would like to record all the teacher's speeches today, including last night's speech on singing and dancing, so that I can study them later. With that, he turned to the square table in the room, spread out the paper, and began to write.
In the years of the Lin Mansion since then, Wu Qiao has faithfully recorded all of Lin Feng's speeches. A few years later, he sorted out these speeches, and at first named them "Lin Zi's Treatise", but after Lin Feng learned about it, he called him and scolded him severely, so he had to obediently change the name to "Lin Fu Xiaoji", but it was such a manuscript like a daily note, and later became the most important material for historians to study Lin Feng. This is a later story, so I won't mention it for the time being.
