Chapter 30: Traveling by Talking
"Sister, the adults will really enjoy life, the cooked water is prepared by the attendants, it is autumn now, it is not too hot, if it is summer, the attendants who carry the tea shackles are hard." Ling'er put herself in the shoes of the attendants.
"Yes, maybe after getting along for a long time, the attendants and officials really have a fish-and-water relationship. You can't live without me, I can't live without you. Qingqing replied from another angle.
"What do the saints say about this phenomenon?" Ling'er asked.
"Those who work hard govern people, and those who work hard govern people. But not only that, if the officials are good to the attendants, the attendants will be better to the masters, which is said to be 'people respect me for a foot, and I respect people for a foot.' Qingqing thought of a simple sentence to solve her sister's question.
"There is a saying that could be changed to 'He who works loves his subordinates, and he who loves his subordinates more.'" ”
"The children can be taught." Qingqing smiled and encouraged.
"Why are they inseparable from each other?"
"Because the attendants admired the officials' intellectual talents and ability to govern the world, and the officials rewarded the attendants with a relatively stable job, an errand that could not only support their families, but also increase their knowledge, so why not do it?"
"Oh, so it's called taking what you need, learning from each other's strengths, and the attendants have loyalty and strength, while the officials lack strength."
"It's time to replenish your energy, what are you going to do at noon this day?"
I chose a restaurant called "Gathering".
Each person ordered a trouser belt noodle and asked the store to cook a bitter koji dish.
"Boss, why is this noodle called trouser belt noodles?" Qingqing asked curiously.
"Because the noodles are as wide as a trouser belt."
"Is there anything interesting besides the trouser noodle?" Qingqing continued to ask.
"Oh, girl, you can listen well: my wife Papa wears it on her head, half of the house is covered, the bench does not sit and squat, the pot helmet is so big that the pot lid is matched, the oil is poured with spicy dishes, the Qin dialect roars, and the girl is generally not public."
"It's really interesting." The sisters said together.
While eating noodles, an old woman sobbed sadly: "Boss, my money was stolen by the 'three hands', please, let me go back, I really don't want to eat your noodles for nothing." ”
"Ling'er, help the old man pay the money, and give her a tael of silver, but exchange one or two taels of silver for a thousand copper coins, and let her divide a few more pockets to hold the money, so that it is more secure." Qingqing dictates the experience of rivers and lakes.
The old grandmother took the money and thanked her with tears: "The two girls are really living bodhisattvas, God bless you with great fortune and great life......
"Grandma, it's nothing. With so little silver, it's a little bit of our mind, just be careful in the future, and it's best to let the children accompany you to the market. Qingqing comforted gently.
The sisters watched the grandmother leave.
"Sister, it feels so beautiful to help others!"
"Yes, it seems that there is a Chang'e dancing in my heart, and it is like a fairy singing." Ling'er expressed her touching feelings.
"Sister, we should learn to ride a horse, there are poems: the spring breeze is proud, and the Chang'an flowers are seen in one day, and how wonderful it feels to gallop!"
"Let's learn."
It took the sisters half an hour and a total of two taels of silver to learn to ride a horse.
Subsequently, the sisters bought a cup of green tea in the tea shop, spent 150 copper coins, and rented a fast horse to come to Tongguan.
The sisters found a tour guide agency and rented a clever tour guide for 5 taels of silver.
"How many beautiful places are there in Tongguan?"
"There are a total of eight scenic spots in Tongguan, which are the eight scenic spots that can be enjoyed in the Tongguan area. The eight scenes are Xiongguan Tiger Standing, Forbidden Ditch Longzhu, Qinling Cloud Screen, Zhongtiao Snow Case, Fengling Xiaodu, Yellow River Spring Zhang, Qiaolou Evening Zhao, Taoist Divine Bell.
"What's the most beautiful view?" Qingqing doesn't love a big bouquet of roses, but pities the most touching one.
"Every day when the Buddha dawns, the sleeping Yellow River has just woken up, and the shadows of the trees on the bank are still faintly recognizable, the merchants from the south to the north are bustling towards Fenglingdu. cart riders, horseback riders, cattle drivers, load-laden men, bag-bearers...... Follow. Some are in a hurry, some are waiting for the ferry, and some are already sitting in the bow of the boat and rafting in the middle of the river. Looking up and down the Yellow River, the smoke is vast and the mast lights are flickering. The ships are galloping from north to south, the sails are racing from east to west, listening attentively, the sound of rushing water, the creaking of oars, the high-pitched sound of trumpets, the shouts of customers, the sound of birds, the sound of bells...... Together, the two sides of the ancient ferry reverberate with a beautiful symphony of early morning fighting. ”
"Mr. tour guide, you have spoken so eloquently that you have saved a lot of travel expenses. Don't worry, I'll tip you. ”
"What is your travel agency drawing here?" Qingqing asked, pointing to a landscape painting.
"This is called 'Qinling Jade Screen', you see the Qinling Mountains in the south of my Tongguan ups and downs, green and fresh, pleasing to the eye, whenever before and after the rain and snow, the scene is more wonderful, the peaks and mountains in the middle of the clouds are piece, if floating, like embedded like floating, come suddenly, go without a trace. One moment if the dragon leaps, the next moment if the horse gallops. Sometimes it is like silk, sometimes it is overwhelming, or it is like a hat in a high mountain, or it is like a plain belt wrapped around the waist, or it is like a mess of silk. There are thousands of shapes and changes. The sun is beginning to dew, the brocade curtain is open, full of colors, the mountain is the painting, the painting is the mountain, and the painting mountain is integrated. ”
"I sigh that I am a great Song Dynasty, and the country is so delicate everywhere, attracting countless talented and beautiful people, heroes and heroes to bend their waists." Qing Qing Halal wants to embrace the whole Tongguan.
"How did the ancients describe the danger of Tongguan?" Qingqing humbly asked.
"Count the dangers and fight with the apes", "The road to the world stops the Tong Pass risk". "This is what the poet Saint Du Fu wrote: 'Adults see important places, narrow and narrow bicycles, struggle for long halberds, and use a husband for eternity.'" ”
"Oh, poetry, hard work." Qingqing said with a smile.
"I heard that Tongguan has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times, how can you say this?" Qingqing asked.
"There is no doubt that Tongguan has a long history, there are dozens of famous wars that took place here, dating back to 211 years, Cao Cao and Ma Chao fought fiercely in Tongguan, Cao Cao built a wall of sand and watered it with water, and froze into a fortress overnight, Ma Chao was defeated and fled. In 756, the Tang general Ge Shuhan commanded 200,000 troops to defend Tongguan, and Xuanzong listened to Yang Guozong's slander and forced Ge Shuhan to go out of the pass to fight, but was defeated by the rebel army An Lushan. An Lushan occupied Tongguan and advanced westward, and Tang Xuanzong fled in a hurry. In 880, the Huangchao rebel army marched from Luoyang to Tongguan, and the Tang general Tian Lingzi led 100,000 troops to guard Tongguan, but the rebel army sneaked in from the forbidden ditch, seized Tongguan, and smashed Chang'an. ”
"Sure enough, there was once wolf smoke everywhere, fighting each other to the death." Qingqing sighed.
"Sir, is there a lot of mineral resources here? If we want to develop industry in the Song Dynasty, we cannot do without mineral resources. ”
"It seems that the girl has a far-sighted mind."
"That's what a girl, right. Tongguan is not only outstanding people, but also rich in treasures. Yang Zhen, the Taiwei of the Eastern Han Dynasty, who was honored by the Confucian scholars as the 'Master of Kansai', was born here and buried here; the territory is rich in gold resources, it is one of the famous gold-producing counties in Kyushu, and has been known as the 'Golden City of China' since ancient times, and is rich in silver, copper, iron, graphite, marble, vermiculite, etc. ”
"This is truly a land of abundance. What are the classic stories that have been passed down through the ages? Qingqing believes in the practice of "knowing is knowing, and not knowing is not knowing." ”
"Yang Zhen, the word Boqi, Hongnong Huayin (SX Tongguan) people. Diligent and studious since childhood, well-read, he is a famous talent. He was passionate about education, and after the age of 20, he began his educational career by opening a school at his own expense to teach students. He taught well, was famous, and had many students, so he was revered as 'Confucius of Kansai'.
Yang Zhen has been running a school in his hometown for 30 years and has cultivated a large number of talents, until he was recruited by the general Deng Qiu, he was already fifty years old.
Soon after Yang Zhen was recruited by Deng Qiu, he was recommended as "Maocai", that is, Xiucai, and then successively served as the Jingzhou Assassin and Donglai Taishou, until the second year of Han'an Yanguang as a Tai Lieutenant, in charge of the country's military power.
Yang Zhen has been an honest official all his life and does not seek personal gain. What is often talked about is that when he was transferred from Jingzhou Thorn Shi to Donglai Taishou to take office, when passing through Changyi, Changyi County Commander Wang Mi, that is, the official he promoted with "Maocai" when he was serving as Jingzhou Thorn Shi, heard that Yang Zhen passed through the local area, in order to repay, specially prepared ten catties of gold, and planned to give it to Yang Zhen in the dead of night. Yang Zhen not only did not accept it, but also severely criticized Wang Mi.
Wang Mi said: "No one will know about the third watch in the middle of the night, and it will not affect the teacher's character. Yang Zhen said: How can no one know. You come from the sky, God knows; Coming from the ground, the earth knows; Come with gold, you know; Bonus with me, I know. Since God knows, the earth knows, you know, and I know, what is not known? Since then, the story of 'Four Knowledges but Gold' has been passed down as a story through the ages.
"The mountains look up, the scenery stops, and Mr. Yang's noble character makes this girl amazed and dumbfounded."
"Thank you, sir, for telling us this admirable and shocking story."
"Ling'er, let's go to a stick of incense, determined to learn like Master Kansai in the future to comfort the sages." The sisters reverently performed the worship ceremony.
"Ling'er, this tour guide is articulate, and spares no effort to take us to appreciate the great rivers and mountains that have cleared customs, and reward one or two silvers." Qingqing is always so "rewarding people with talent".
"Miss Xie carries love." The tour guide thanked him.
